Weekends hit harder—and it's not a character flaw. It's a system problem. In this episode, Josh and guests unpack the real mechanics behind weekend overeating: reward behavior after a long week, social pressure, decision fatigue, and the habit of treating Friday–Sunday like a free-for-all. Then we lay out practical, repeatable strategies that keep you social without the spiral. Change doesn't come from one perfect weekend—it's built through consistent, doable choices stacked over time. Press play, fix the Friday–Sunday system, and watch your results stop disappearing by Monday.

  This is your weekly review and integration day, inspired by Dr. Caroline Leaf's work on clearing "your mental mess." In this episode, we revisit the arc of the week—Release, Rest, Ground, Protect, Nurture, Balance—and then we integrate it into one simple, repeatable sequence you can use anytime you need an emotional reset. In this meditation you'll: Review what shifted for you this week Practice a full integration reset (short + repeatable) Choose one "embodied" habit to carry into next week Leave feeling calm, clear, and grounded in your next step Best time to listen: Sunday reset, Monday morning intention-setting, or anytime you want to come back to your baseline. This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, "7-Day Neuro Reset to Calm Your Nervous System,"  episodes 3444-3450. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: Welcome to a brand-new 7-day series on the Daily Meditation Podcast: Neuro Reset—created for that very real moment when the New Year is still here… but your nervous system is already asking for a gentle reboot. Because Week 3 can be a turning point. The excitement of fresh starts fades, your routines get a little wobbly, and your mind starts opening extra tabs: What if I'm behind? What if I can't keep this up? What if I need to start over? If you've felt that, you're not doing anything wrong. It's simply your brain and body recalibrating. This week is designed to help you reset from the inside out—with short, practical meditations that support emotional balance, stress relief, clearer focus, better sleep, and a steadier mood. We'll work with simple tools that calm the nervous system and help you come back to yourself—again and again—without pressure. Each day has an arc and a focus, and today we begin with the arc of Release—releasing mental clutter, tension, and the "I should be doing more" energy… so you can feel lighter, clearer, and more supported moving forward. So settle in. You don't have to force calm. You're simply practicing a reset—one breath at a time. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "The 7-Day Neurocycle Reset Challenge" Every day: 10 minutes (2 minutes breath + 6 minutes guided Neurocycle step + 2 minutes journaling). THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Refresh Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "Clarity and calm begin with each new step." Day 3:  Coherent Breathing: Inhale ~5 seconds, exhale ~5 seconds (no holds), for 3–5 minutes. Why: A steady rhythm is one of the simplest ways to "reset the system." Day 4:  Gyan Mudra for clarity Day 5:  Fourth Chakra for compassion Day 6:  Neuro Reset Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure Welcome to this special series: Refresh — a gentle, powerful reset for the start of a brand new year. If you've been craving that clean-slate feeling—not just on your calendar, but inside your mind and in the way you live—this is for you. Because a new year isn't only a date. It's an invitation. To clear what's been cluttering your inner space… to come back to what matters… and to choose how you want to feel as you move forward. Over the next seven episodes, we're going to refresh seven key areas of your life—not with pressure, perfection, or a long list of goals… but with inner clarity. Think of this series like opening the windows of your life and letting fresh air move through every room. Each day, we'll focus on one area—simple, practical, and deeply supportive. You'll be guided through: a short, grounding insight to create perspective a few reflective prompts to clarify what's true for you right now and a calming meditation to help you integrate the shift—so this becomes something you feel, not just something you think about This isn't about fixing yourself. You're not behind. You don't need to become someone else to have a meaningful year. This is about coming home to yourself—and gently updating the way you live, so your days match the person you're becoming. So wherever you are—making coffee, sitting in your car, walking outside, or curled up in a quiet corner—take a breath and let this be your beginning. Welcome to your refresh. Let's start the year with clarity… and create a life that feels clean, aligned, and truly yours. SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Jan. 15 is the deadline to enroll in health insurance plans through the federal government's ACA Marketplace at Healthcare.gov. But Illinois residents will have until Jan. 31 to enroll through the state's marketplace Get Covered Illinois.

For the latest on this extension and how Illinois residents can get support, In the Loop sits down with Galo Granda, Access Community Health Network patient benefit specialist and navigator, and Get Covered Illinois director Morgan Winters.

Why you're stuck isn't random — and it isn't because you're broken, resistant, or missing the right information.In this episode of The Restored Minds Show, licensed therapist Matt Codde, LCSW explores why people stay stuck in anxiety, OCD, and fear-based loops — and what actually creates real change.If you've tried coping strategies, therapy, tools, or information but still feel trapped in the same cycles, this episode will help you understand the missing piece that keeps progress from sticking.Rather than focusing on managing symptoms, Matt explains why transformation begins with responsibility, internal ownership, and changing the patterns that maintain fear — not blaming circumstances, genetics, or the outside world.

In this episode of the Functionally Speaking series, host Lynn Hamilton speaks with Carol Aliyar, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Safety and Pharmacovigilance (PV) at Syneos Health, about the transformation of PV from a highly regulated, task-oriented function into a more strategic and technology-enabled discipline. With over 30 years in the industry and a career that spans commercial, clinical and safety roles, Carol brings a rare full-spectrum perspective. Listeners will gain insight into:How PV is shifting from transactional taskwork to strategic lifecycle integrationWhat AI and automation really mean for safety operations and talent needsThe enduring importance of human judgment, especially in the age of AI agentsWhy functional service provider (FSP) models are now resonating in PVHow consistency, flexibility and subject matter depth strengthen long-term partnerships Whether you're expanding your PV model, exploring AI adoption or rethinking how functional teams deliver value, this conversation offers real-world perspective and practical foresight.The views expressed in this podcast belong solely to the speakers and do not represent those of their organization.

Greg Foster, Co-founder and CTO of Graphite (recently acquired by Cursor), joins the podcast to discuss the massive shift occurring in software engineering: the move from maximizing "Inner Loop" speed (writing code) to solving "Outer Loop" bottlenecks (reviewing, testing, merging). With AI generating code faster than humans can review it, the traditional Pull Request model is under pressure. Greg explains how "Stacked PRs" and agentic review workflows are essential for high-performing teams, and why he believes the role of the software engineer is evolving into an "architect of agents." We also cover the strategic rationale behind the Graphite/Cursor merger, the controversial "PRs per engineer" metric, and why he predicts that by 2029, manual code writing will be near zero—but demand for engineers will be higher than ever.

The multibillion-dollar project Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park on Chicago's South Side promises to be one of the largest private investments in the area. Backers of the project say it will be an economic boon for the area, creating jobs and affordable housing. But some residents are concerned about the economic and environmental impact the 128-acre park will have on the area. On today's In the Loop, who benefits from the forthcoming Quantum campus? We ask our panel: John F. Zasadzinski, professor of physics, Illinois Institute of Technology; Samir Mayekar, associate vice president and managing director of the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation; and Clifton Muhammad, member of the South Side Environmental Task Force.

In 2022, rightwing influencers began using the term "doom loop" to paint San Francisco as a crime- and fentanyl-ridden hellhole that whose downfall was due to too much woke progressivism. It didn't matter that the doom loop narrative wasn't based in reality: the media took it and ran with it. The narrative has since lost its resonance in San Francisco, but it's now being deployed in several other cities. Jeremy Mack is back to talk about the Phoenix Project's most recent report, "The Rise and Fall of the San Francisco Doom Loop."

Kristen Deere is a Director in the Employee Benefit Plan Audit Services practice at Weaver & Tidwell, LLP. With over 20 years of experience in public accounting, she has specialized in auditing employee benefit plans throughout most of her career. Kristen leads audits for both private and public plan sponsors, covering a wide range of plan types, including defined contribution (401(k), 403(b), ESOP, 11-K), defined benefit, and health & welfare plans. Kristen has led audits for plans ranging from under $1 million to over $45 billion in assets, ensuring compliance with complex ERISA, DOL, and SEC compliance requirements. Her industry expertise spans not-for-profit organizations, government entities, financial services, energy, and a diverse portfolio of employee benefit plan administrators. She also champions technology innovation initiatives that enhance audit quality and efficiency. In this episode, Eric and Kristen Deere discuss:Understanding why benefit plan audits existUsing technology to reduce audit burdenPreparing proactively for smooth auditsFollowing the plan document above all elseKey Takeaways:Department of Labor audits are required for large plans to confirm that operations follow the plan document. Their goal is to protect participants and ensure promised benefits are delivered accurately. Audits may surface issues or risks, but they are not designed as fraud detection guarantees.Employee benefit plan audits rely heavily on payroll, census, and record-keeper data. Audit software, structured spreadsheets, and direct system access improve accuracy and efficiency. When used well, technology makes audits less disruptive for plan sponsors.Successful plan sponsors stay organized throughout the year, not just during audit season. They maintain clear documentation, communicate changes early, and reconcile data regularly. This preparation prevents last-minute scrambles and repeated audit findings.Most audit issues trace back to operations drifting from the written plan document. Payroll, record keepers, and processes must all align with what the plan actually says. Reading, understanding, and following the document is the strongest safeguard against errors.“They can outsource the function, but they can't outsource the responsibility.” - Kristen DeereConnect with Kristen Deere:Website: https://weaver.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristen-derryberry/ Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information and content of this podcast are general in nature and are provided solely for educational and informational purposes.

Geoffrey Huntley argues that while software development as a profession is effectively dead, software engineering is more alive—and critical—than ever before. In this episode, the creator of the viral "Ralph" agent joins us to explain how simple bash loops and deterministic context allocation are fundamentally changing the unit economics of code.

Venezuela's collapse is about way more than socialism and oil. Ryan McBeth breaks down how a resource-rich nation became a cautionary tale on our doorstep.Welcome to what we're calling our "Out of the Loop" episodes, where we dig a little deeper into fascinating current events that may only register as a blip on the media's news cycle and have conversations with the people who find themselves immersed in them.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1269On This Episode of Out of the Loop:Venezuela's collapse wasn't caused by a single villain or policy — it happened because oil money replaced accountability. Institutions were hollowed out, competence was swapped for loyalty, and when the cash dried up, the regime compensated with control instead of reform.Hugo Chavez's "Bolivarian Revolution" brought real benefits early on — redistributing oil wealth and challenging entrenched elites. But the gains depended entirely on high oil prices, and when those collapsed around 2010, hyperinflation, shortages, and mass migration followed.Venezuela matters strategically to the US because it sits near the Panama Canal and Gulf Coast refineries — making it a pressure point for energy markets, migration flows, and criminal networks. China and Russia have both moved in, treating the instability like an open house.Nicolás Maduro wasn't so much a supreme leader as a traffic cop managing competing mafias. The country's power structure fractured into factions — military, political, criminal — each with its own incentives, making any clean transition extremely difficult.Venezuela's story is a reminder that resource wealth without strong institutions becomes a trap — but it also shows that populations who've experienced democracy and prosperity tend to push back. That memory of better times can become the foundation for rebuilding.And much more!Connect with Jordan on Twitter, on Instagram, and on YouTube.

In this episode of Eye on AI, Craig Smith speaks with Jonathan Wall, founder and CEO of Runloop AI, about why AI agents require an entirely new approach to compute infrastructure.   Jonathan explains why agents behave very differently from traditional servers, why giving agents their own isolated computers unlocks new capabilities, and how agent-native infrastructure is emerging as a critical layer of the AI stack. The conversation also covers scaling agents in production, building trust through benchmarking and human-in-the-loop workflows, and what agent-driven systems mean for the future of enterprise work.   Stay Updated: Craig Smith on X: https://x.com/craigss Eye on A.I. on X: https://x.com/EyeOn_AI   (00:00) Why AI Agents Require a New Infrastructure Paradigm (01:38) Jonathan Wall's Journey: From Google Infrastructure to AI Agents (04:54) Why Agents Break Traditional Cloud and Server Models (07:36) Giving AI Agents Their Own Computers (Devboxes Explained) (12:39) How Agent Infrastructure Fits into the AI Stack (14:16) What It Takes to Run Thousands of AI Agents at Scale (17:45) Solving the Trust and Accuracy Problem with Benchmarks (22:28) Human-in-the-Loop vs Autonomous Agents in the Enterprise (27:24) A Practical Walkthrough: How an AI Agent Runs on Runloop (30:28) How Agents Change the Shape of Compute (34:02) Fine-Tuning, Reinforcement Learning, and Faster Iteration (38:08) Who This Infrastructure Is Built For: Startups to Enterprises (41:17) AI Agents as Coworkers and the Future of Work (46:37) The Road Ahead for Enterprise-Grade Agent Systems

It's Friday, January 9th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nayereh Arjaneh, a Christian convert living in Iran, began serving a five-year prison term on December 23 because of her faith, reports International Christian Concern. Christian converts are often targets of imprisonment, false accusations, mistreatment, and torture under the Iranian regime, with hundreds of Christ followers targeted by Iranian authorities in 2025 alone. Arjaneh and her husband, Qasem, were arrested on July 7, 2025, after they attended a Christian training event in Turkey. She was initially released on bail and later convicted of “promoting deviant propaganda and teachings contrary to Islamic law” and “providing financial and material support to groups affiliated with Zionist Christianity.” Senate restricts Trump from future strikes on Venezuela Here in America, the U.S. Senate has passed a war powers resolution, which would limit President Donald Trump's ability to conduct further strikes in Venezuela, reports NewsNation.com. Five Republicans voted with Democrats to pass the resolution including Senators Rand Paul of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Todd Young of Indiana, and Josh Hawley of Missouri. The legislation will require Trump to get approval from Congress before conducting any strikes on Venezuela. Democrats have previously failed to pass resolutions limiting the president's ability to strike alleged drug vessels in the Caribbean and the Pacific. The move comes after a surprise strike on Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. Congress was not notified of the mission in advance, breaking from tradition. While only Congress has the power to declare war, presidents have used broad authority to act unilaterally in the absence of a formal declaration of war. The last time the U.S. formally declared war was World War II. Devastating admission by lesbian lover after ICE shooting Wednesday's fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minnesota has brought even more national attention to arrest and deportation efforts, reports The Western Journal. Media members and the public alike took to dissecting Wednesday's footage of Good's altercation with ICE as she tried to stop officers from doing their jobs, parked her car in the street, refused to move it, and threatened to run over an officer. Good's last moments as she tried to drive into an officer have been the subject of intense debate as to what her intentions actually were, but another telling moment from her lesbian lover reveals why she was trying to stop ICE in the first place. In the immediate aftermath, Good's faux wife, was heard saying, “I made her come down here; it's my fault. They just shot my wife,” according to the New York Post. Samuel Short of The Western Journal wrote, “Left-wing media outlets consistently refuse to look at the entire story when a fatal shooting takes place involving law enforcement. In this instance, Renee Good's [faux] “wife” brought her out to do this. Good was a problem for ICE that day already as she refused to comply with officers who told her to get out of her car. Good put her foot on the gas despite the fact an agent was standing in front of her vehicle. “She put herself in a dangerous position, stopping armed federal officers from arresting dangerous people.” J.D. Vance: Woman ICE killed tried to run them over In a White House briefing, Vice President J.D. Vance put the press, which defended Renee Good, in its place. Listen. VANCE: “What's going on here? You guys are meant to report the truth. How have you let yourself become agents of propaganda of a radical fringe that's making it harder for us to enforce our laws? “You just asked me a question that presumed that the reason why this woman died is because she was engaged in legitimate protest. She tried to run somebody over with her car, and the guy defended himself when that happened.” The Department of Homeland Security reported a 1,154 percent increase in assaults on officers in November. That's not to mention deadly shootings targeting ICE detention centers. House Republicans reject Trump's call to be “flexible” on Hyde Amendment Most House Republicans appear to uphold the party's longstanding principle against allocating taxpayer funds for abortion, despite President Donald Trump's call for them to be “flexible” on it, reports LifeNews.com. As President Trump laid out a game plan for Republicans to win on the healthcare issue in 2026, he said, “You have to be a little flexible on Hyde.” TRUMP: “Now you have to be a little flexible on [the] Hyde [Amendment]. You know that you got to be a little flexible. You got to work something.” House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana, who spoke at the March For Life in 2025, said, “We're not going to authorize taxpayer funding for abortion. I mean, it's been a consistent policy. We are not going to change the standard that has been, frankly, bipartisan up until recent days. … I'm just not going to allow that to happen.” The Hyde Amendment is named after the late Republican Rep. Henry Hyde of Illinois whose 1976 amendment to a health funding bill prohibited funding for abortions “except where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term.” Since then, Hyde provisions have been a non-negotiable item for Republicans in funding bills. Republican Rep. Mark Harris of North Carolina told The Daily Signal, “All the folks I hear from are very committed to Hyde.” House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, a Roman Catholic who chairs the House Pro-Life Caucus, also rejected the idea of finding middle-ground on the issue. He told reporters, “There's no flexibility. You're either using public funds to pay for abortion or you're not.” And appearing on Washington Watch with Tony Perkins, Republican Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma said this. LANKFORD: “I'm not flexible on the value of every single child. Every single child is valuable. There aren't some children that are disposable and some children that are valuable. Every child is valuable.” Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” Baltimore Ravens rookie kicker turns to Bible after missing field goal And finally, after missing a crucial field goal in the final moments of Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens rookie kicker Tyler Loop pointed probing reporters to Scripture, reports FaithWire.com. There's no doubt Loop was discouraged; he immediately buried his face in his hands after the failed kick. But once he was in the locker room, he opened up about how his personal devotional time — and one passage in particular — comforted him. Tyler told sports journalists, “I had written down a little prayer before the game and [I was] just re-reading it. Faith is a big part of my life and, right now, I'm reading the book of Romans. In Romans 8, it says, ‘God works for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.'” The pro-athlete was referencing Romans 8:28. In that verse, the Apostle Paul spoke directly to Christians, encouraging those who have found salvation through Jesus with the promise that — for them — all things will work out for their good. The verse says, “And we know that, for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, January 9th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

What if the slogans we've trusted about healing are actually in conflict? "The body keeps the score." "Time heals all wounds." We've heard both. They can't both be true. Here's the tension. If time heals all wounds, staying busy should eventually work. Decades of pushing through should land us somewhere good. But that's not what happens. The body keeps the score whether we acknowledge it or not. I go deeper into the research from my conversation with Dr. Karestan Koenen in Episode 155. She followed 100,000 women over twenty years. What she found confirms what I see clinically. Unresolved experiences don't fade with time. They become biology. That background sense of danger we can't quite name? That's our nervous system still on guard. This was never about time. It's about what happens when we ask the nervous system to stay alert indefinitely. In this episode you'll hear more about: Why staying busy creates allostatic load: When we push through without processing, we ask the nervous system to sprint forever. Dr. Hans Selye mapped what happens next. The body reaches a point where it cannot maintain that response. Then things fall apart. The difference between stress and trauma: Stress is a sprint. Trauma is what happens when we've sprinted as far as we can but the danger is still there. The terminology matters. Calling it all "chronic stress" doesn't capture the truth of breakdown. The body trauma loop: The cycle between activation and shutdown sits at the core of every chronic health condition. Stressed out, then breakdown. Activated, then burnout. This loop can never contribute to health. Where the body actually holds trauma: People ask if it's in their liver or pinky toe. The answer surprises them. The body holds trauma in patterns. The glass of wine. The procrastination. The exhaustion that won't lift. What I'm actually assessing: I don't ask for a checklist of how bad your childhood was. I ask what's going on now. How reactive are you? How adaptable? How long before you hit shutdown? Those patterns tell me what your body is still holding. Why there's hope in this science: When we recognize the body trauma loop, we know what to do. We untangle piece by piece. Step by step. We create a biology of healing. The body holds trauma through its patterns of surviving. When we understand this, we work with our biology. Not against it.

If the value of the material recovered doesn't exceed the cost to collect and process it, that item ends up in a landfill. This economic gap is exactly where Tom Szaky has built an empire.Recently, Tom Szaky, the CEO and founder of TerraCycle, shared insights on how he is tackling the world's garbage problem. His company isn't just a recycling firm; it is a supply chain innovator that figures out how to recycle the “unrecyclable,” from cigarette butts to dirty diapers.Tom explains the core issue with clarity. “The reality is most things in the world can be recycled. The difference is that recycling is not really a public service. It's run by for-profit companies.”He notes that aluminum cans are recycled because they are profitable. Conversely, complex items like coffee capsules cost more to process than the aluminum is worth. TerraCycle solves this by finding stakeholders—brands, retailers, and cities—willing to fund that gap.This model has proven incredibly successful. TerraCycle has been profitable for years and recently completed a Regulation Crowdfunding offering for TerraCycle US. They raised $5 million in less than 60 days.Investors are drawn to the company not just for its mission but for its financial discipline. Tom highlighted that previous investors have already received significant returns. “If you invested, say $1,000 in REG A back five years ago, you'd have already been paid somewhere between 17% and 20% of that invested capital in dividends.”Tom Szaky, Founder and CEO of TerraCycle, will be speaking at SuperGreen Live, sharing insights on sustainability, circular economy solutions, and rethinking waste at scale—register now at SuperGreenLive.orgTom challenges the old binary that you either make money or you do good. He believes purpose fuels business fundamentals. By locating his HQ in Trenton, New Jersey, he revitalizes an underserved community while gaining access to affordable real estate and a diverse talent pool.“Why should on one end we make money and on the other end give it away to NGOs to help save the world?” Tom asks. “Why can't those two concepts come together where you can invest in a profitable business whose core focus is making the world better?”TerraCycle is proving that you can indeed do both. By aligning profit with planetary health, Tom is showing a path toward a zero-waste world that makes economic sense.tl;dr:TerraCycle creates supply chains for hard-to-recycle waste by getting stakeholders to fund the cost gap.Recycling is an economic challenge because items are only recycled locally if they generate profit.Tom recently raised $5 million via Regulation Crowdfunding by demonstrating proven growth and consistent dividends.Purpose-driven business models can drive better economic fundamentals like lower costs and government support.Tom's superpower is rallying people around a vision by starting with a beautiful, impactful idea.How to Develop Rallying Believers As a SuperpowerTom describes his superpower as the ability to get others to see his vision and join him in executing it. It isn't just about salesmanship; it is about authentic conviction. He explains, “I feel like my core superpower is convincing people to believe in my dreams and rallying them around.” This ability allows him to mobilize diverse groups, from college interns to multinational corporations, to tackle massive global challenges like waste elimination.To illustrate this, Tom shared a charming story from his childhood. In second grade, he had a vision of folding thousands of origami cranes to create a decorative entryway for his bedroom. He started folding them at a table with four other classmates. He didn't force them to help; he just started doing the work with passion. Within two days, the whole table was folding cranes. By the end of the week, the entire class was involved. This early experience taught him that if you lead with action and a compelling idea, people will naturally want to be part of the journey.How to Develop This SuperpowerFor those interested in rallying people around a vision, Tom offers several insights that can help transform this into a skill:Start with a beautiful idea. The core concept should not just be about making money. It must be something that makes the world better, more beautiful, or more sustainable.Believe in it yourself. Authentic, unwavering belief in a dream is essential before expecting others to follow.Just start doing it. Action attracts others. By beginning the work, people will naturally gravitate toward the energy and vision.View profit as health, not the goal. While profit is necessary to survive, keeping the mission as the central focus ensures authenticity.
