Brooke Averick is a content creator, cohost of Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast, and the author of the new novel Phoebe Berman Is Going to Lose It. But before she was a content multi-hyphenate, she began her career as a preschool teacher at a Quaker school. Then, in 2020, she downloaded TikTok and began sharing videos of herself reading from her childhood journals. The videos went mega-viral, and she soon pivoted from teaching to full-time content creation. Since then, she's continued to create vulnerable and hilarious videos and podcasts, and now she's embarking on her latest venture as an author with her debut novel, which hit shelves this May.  Order Brooke Averick's new novel here!

Information transferred is not information absorbed. It sounds obvious. And yet most leaders keep running the same play anyway. The boot camp. The all-hands demo. The two-day blitz. And then three weeks later, nobody's using the tools. Anna Basevich has spent her career at the intersection of health data and human behavior. As SVP at Arcadia, she helps healthcare organizations turn fragmented, siloed data into life-saving decisions. She spent years flying across the country delivering marathon trainings that felt great in the room and evaporated by Monday. It took a pandemic, a rapid acquisition, and a ban on hospital hopping to force a better way. What came out the other side was a playbook built around one stubborn truth: people don't absorb what they're handed. They absorb what they use, revisit, and discover for themselves. The examples here come from the deep end. Nine-figure implementations. Heavily regulated data. Cross-functional teams who barely speak the same language. But every principle in this episode translates directly to any leader rolling out new tools, whether that's an enterprise platform or an AI pilot for a team of 20. Key Takeaways: The Brain Dump Trap: why cramming everything into two days guarantees your team forgets it by week three The T-Shaped Learner: broad awareness plus targeted depth beats the pure generalist and the siloed expert Chunk It or Lose It: bite-sized iterative rollouts unlock more value than any boot camp ever will Outcomes as North Star: why revisiting customer goals feels redundant until the moment it saves the whole project The Peer Effect: organic knowledge sharing among teammates beats top-down training every time The Unleashed Leader: passionate about the work and the outcome, together, not separately Additional Resources: Follow Anna on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annabasevich/ Attend Unleashing Leaders University!

Sometimes movie studios release low quality franchise films and one excuse for this might be that if they don't release a movie every X or Y years, they will lose the rights.  Adam looks into these reversion rights, colloquially referred to as "Use It or Lose It" clauses, which force studios to make a film or lose the right to make the one they're banking on.  Darren then gives us an overview of Anthropic's Mythos, an AI tool so powerful that anyone with access to it could use it to uncover security vulnerabilities, which has led to them holding off on releasing the product.

What is gamification? Does it have any relationship to board gaming? We examine the concept this week. 0:00:00 Fact for 420 Where did the reference “420” come from to refer to smoking marijuana?

Types of gamification (from GoCadmium “Gamification in Learning 2026”): Achievement-based (leaderboards, badges, status levels) Social gamification (team-building exercises, collaboration to achieve a goal, peer recognition) Progress-based (things to “unlock” – skill trees, extra content, etc.) Rewards-based (incentives, either virtual or real-world: discounts, prizes, etc.) Gamification examples we thought about: Hotel/airline gold/platinum status Merit badges (but not military honors) Book-It is obviously rewards-based gamification! Store loyalty programs. Everything from simple “collect 10 stamps, get a free coffee” to the more sophisticated programs with big national chains that give incentives or unlock special offers by getting to a different “level”. These can push you to buy just a little bit more or more often than you would otherwise. (Supermarkets, Kohl’s Cash, CVS Extrabucks, etc.) Fitness apps often use multiple kinds of achievement-based gamification, to hook different kinds of people. Leaderboards, badges, and “personal best” tracking. They may include rewards or social collaboration as well. (We discuss Apple Fitness, Peloton. Company fitness challenges often are rewards-based.) Duolingo also uses achievements (streak-tracking!), while having obvious progress-based elements as well. Lose It! rewards you for “streaks” as well – including simply tracking your calories every day, even if you don’t meet your other goals! We think good gamification gives you a framework to work on your goals as well as the incentives to improve. What does this mean for our families & our kids? We think of two meta-examples. The 5×5 challenge (picking 5 games to play at least 5 times). Also the balancing B-mods and “leveling up” from Board Games For All Ages. Can we bring elements we like in board gaming to other behaviors we want to encourage? Gamification can be GOOD when it helps shore up existing motivation. But it’s not good when it is (a) the only motivation or (b) encouraging unintended behavior. Be wary of using gamification to substitute for real motivation! We describe using “chore cards” as a type of gamification. Kids removed the cards when done, kind of like an achievement system in reverse (having an empty line was the goal) – and it “unlocked” their screen time for the day. I feel like learning to read should naturally feel progress-based. As you improve, you get more opportunities to read what you want! Some schools make it too achievement-ish if they focus on “reading levels” rather than the fun of reading. Don’t be tempted to gamify everything and turn it into too much pressure on your kids! We’ve seen this in sports, academic achievement (GPA/grades), and other competitions. It’s okay not to be the best at everything! We share our experience with Marvel Puzzle Quest, which was a little too good at motivating us to play. 1:06:00 New Backtalk Question Have you ever gamified anything at home that would otherwise just normally be a part of life? Maybe it’s to help you be motivated, or maybe it’s for your kids? Chores, fitness, something else entirely? Tell us on the #backtalk channel on our Discord, or in our Facebook community.

 In traditional Chinese medicine, it is well known: a man needs sex until he dies.Psychology confirms this. Freud and Jung both recognized that the sexual drive is fundamental.Every male animal has a primal instinct to procreate. This is wired so deeply into our brains that we feel sexual urges independently of our emotions or thoughts. Nature needs children for the future.And if there is no sexuality anymore, a man loses a sense of purpose—and eventually, he dies.To deny sex is to deny life itself.If you want vitality as you age, you must remain engaged with your sexuality. Even in old age, you can restore your sexual function—with training and good health. (Always consult your urologist first.)The Link Between Sex and AgingAging begins when we lose our sex drive.Without sex, men age much faster.As we grow older, we naturally lose some of our drive, vitality, liveliness, and passion. But through sex—solo or with a partner—we can maintain all of them at a much higher level.I want to confront you and break the taboo: Masturbation is not bad.Masturbation is healthy—as long as it's not done in excess or in the wrong way. And sharing sex with a partner is even better.But let's be clear: Masturbation is not dirty.For men over 60, masturbation is not just okay—it's a must for staying fit and healthy.1. Mindless Masturbation Can Lead to Numbness and EDThe key is how you do it.If you can no longer produce as much fluid, daily stimulation is still beneficial. Release only when you feel the need.But quick, tense, disconnected self-pleasure is harmful. When you teach your brain the same pattern—same hand, same motion, same outcome—it becomes boring. Sensitivity drops. Stiffness fades. Confidence drops. Loneliness increases. Disconnection grows.The fix: Make self-pleasure intentional, not performance-driven. Avoid porn. No rushing. No pressure. Reconnect with feeling, not fantasy.2. Not Masturbating Can Lead to Prostate Congestion and InflammationWithout regular release, the prostate can become congested. This can lead to:Frequent urination at nightInflammationIncreased risk of prostate cancerA Harvard study proves that men with fewer than 21 ejaculations per month have a significantly higher risk of prostate cancer.Regular ejaculation flushes out toxins and keeps the prostate healthy.3. Shame Around Self-Touch Damages Mental HealthLet me say it again: Masturbation is not dirty. Speak about it openly.Shame is a stressor. It raises cortisol, tightens muscles, and floods the brain with anxiety. Over time, this can lead to depression, heart disease, immune issues, and even dementia.But masturbation—when done correctly—releases dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins. These are the body's natural antidepressants.You are never too old for self-pleasure.4. Sexual Activity Stimulates TestosteroneYes, even solo activity.As we age, our testosterone naturally declines. But if you stop touching your body altogether, you lose even more testosterone—along with energy, vitality, and muscle mass.The good news: You can support healthy testosterone levels.Maca root is one powerful aid. After taking it daily for two months, many men notice a real difference. I have personally increased my testosterone with Maca and other supplements—the difference in endurance and power is huge.(Always consult your physician before starting any new supplement.)5. Use It or Lose ItThis applies to muscles—and it applies to erections.Stimulate every day, whether or not you release fluid. Regular stimulation maintains blood flow, nerve sensitivity, and tissue health.6. The Pornography ProblemToday's pornography is ultra-stimulating: fast, high-intensity, and endless.Your brain was not designed for that level of dopamine flooding. After prolonged exposure, many men find they cannot perform without porn—or even with a real partner.The fix: Try a 30-day detox. No porn. No fantasy. Just reconnect with your own body and sensation.7. Conscious Masturbation Improves Longevity and Quality of LifeWhen done mindfully, self-pleasure offers real benefits:Better sleepLower anxietyImproved circulationGreater vitalityEnhanced moodFinal ThoughtMasturbation is not something to hide from or feel ashamed of. It is a natural, healthy part of being human—at every age.Treat your body with respect. Listen to it. Care for it. And don't be afraid to enjoy the pleasure it was designed to give you.

She was told her music wasn’t "good enough" for a debut, and now she’s making history. On this episode of News It or Lose It, Zweli dives into the phenomenal success of RAYE’s sophomore album, This Music May Contain Hope. We’re breaking down why critics are calling this a "masterpiece" and why the single "I Know You're Hurting" is resonating so deeply with listeners. This isn't just a pop album; it's a 17-track, four-part "seasonal" epic featuring everything from gospel choirs to the London Symphony Orchestra and even a collaboration with film score legend Hans Zimmer. We explore the journey from her public fallout with her old label to her current status as Britain’s "independent queen." It’s a story of why you should never bet against someone who knows their worth and why this music truly does contain the hope we all need right now. Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli.

For this episode, I'm joined by Colin Newman from legendary post-punk band, Wire and Malka Spigel to talk about the new Immersion album, WTF??.We dive into how the record came together, including their work with Matt Schulz (Holy Fuck), and how collaboration, experimentation, and curiosity continue to push Immersion's sound into exciting new territory.We also explore their long-running radio show Swimming in Sound, the origins of their label Swim (founded in the early 90s), and what it's meant to keep an independent label alive through decades of constant industry change.Along the way, we discuss the making of the video for “Use It Don't Lose It”, directed by their son Ben Newman, plus their move to sunny Brighton—and how life in this vibrant seaside town continues to fuel creativity, community, and fresh ideas.

Happy New Year, dear listeners! AJ and Chris are back for the first episode of 2026, kicking off the year not with resolutions, but with something far more honest: use it or lose it.From digital overwhelm and doomscrolling, to the resurgence of analog life, retro tech, journaling, and intentional living, this episode is a wide-ranging, reflective conversation about what's worth carrying forward…and what might be better left behind.

Just the Ten of Us is a sitcom that aired on ABC from 1988 to 1990. The show was developed by Steve Marshall as a spin-off of Growing Pains. The series follows high-school coach Graham Lubbock (Bill Kirchenbauer), who relocates his large family from New York to California after taking a job at an all boy Catholic school. Now the Lubbock's will deal with the chaos and culture shock of the move mixed with Graham having to keep an entire school away from his teenage daughters. The series was part of ABC's successful TGIF lineup. However, despite decent ratings and winning its time slot, the show was abruptly cancelled in the Spring of 1990. This was largely in part to the networks growing relationship with Miller-Boyett, who produced every TGIF show except Just the Ten of Us. Over time, the show has settled into “deep-cut” sitcom status. Will the S1E1 boys enjoy this one? Listen as they deep dive the show's first episode, "Move It or Lose It". Starring: Bill Kirchenbauer, Deborah Harmon, Heather Langenkamp, Jamie Luner, Brooke Theiss, JoAnn Willette, Matt Shakman, Heidi Zeigler & Dennis Haysbert www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD

Are you collecting financial knowledge... or actually using it? In this episode of Without The Bank, we break down two of the most dangerous (and overlooked) chapters from Becoming Your Own Banker: Arrival Syndrome and Use It or Lose It. These ideas explain why so many people stall out financially—even after reading the right books, watching the right videos, and "knowing" the Infinite Banking Concept. The problem isn't lack of information. The problem is believing you've already arrived. When people stop applying what they learn, their policies stagnate, their cash flow tightens, and Infinite Banking quietly turns into "just another savings account." Nelson Nash warned us about this—and in this episode, we show exactly how it plays out in real life. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why arrival syndrome is more dangerous than ignorance How "knowing enough" kills financial momentum Why Infinite Banking must become a way of life, not a tactic What "use it or lose it" really means for your policy and your mindset Why focusing on interest rates misses the point entirely Why liquidity and cash flow matter more than returns The silent mistake people make when they stop using their policy Episode Chapters: 00:00 – Knowledge vs. Implementation 01:05 – What Is Arrival Syndrome? 03:10 – The Illusion of Knowledge 05:20 – Use It or Lose It Explained 08:45 – Outgrowing Comfort Zones 11:30 – Common Infinite Banking Mistakes 14:00 – Why IBC Must Be a Way of Life Resources Mentioned: Becoming Your Own Banker by Nelson Nash Get the book: https://www.withoutthebank.com/shop...

 “It's not the math. It's the mindset.” When Bruce recorded this episode solo, he opened with something we've learned after thousands of client conversations: the biggest Infinite Banking mistakes aren't about policy illustrations or carrier choice. They're about us—our habits, our thinking, and the quiet patterns we bring to money. https://www.youtube.com/live/tvSGb9GkRG4 I remember Nelson Nash repeating, “Rethink your thinking.” That line annoys the part of us that wants a clean spreadsheet answer. But it's also the doorway to everything you actually want—control, peace, and a reservoir of capital that serves your family for decades. In today's article, I'm going to unpack those human problems—Parkinson's Law, Willie Sutton's Law, the Golden Rule, the Arrival Syndrome, and Use-It-or-Lose-It—and connect them to the most common Infinite Banking mistakes we see. Most importantly, I'll show you the behaviors that fix them.  “It's not the math. It's the mindset.”What you'll gain (and why it matters)Infinite Banking Mistakes #1 — Treating IBC like a sales system, not a lifelong conceptInfinite Banking Mistakes #2 — Short-term policy design (and base vs. PUA confusion)Infinite Banking Mistakes #3 — Misunderstanding uninterrupted compoundingInfinite Banking Mistakes #4 — Ignoring the five human problems Nelson taughtParkinson's Law: “Expenses rise to equal income”Willie Sutton's Law: “Money attracts seekers”The Golden Rule: “Those who have the gold make the rules”The Arrival Syndrome: “I already know this”Use It or Lose It: “Habits decay without practice”Infinite Banking Mistakes #5 — Forgetting that illustrations aren't contractsInfinite Banking Mistakes #6 — Not paying policy loans back (on purpose)Infinite Banking Mistakes #7 — No written strategy or scorecardListen To the Full EpisodeBook A Strategy CallFAQsWhat are the most common Infinite Banking mistakes?Should I prioritize PUAs or base premium to avoid Infinite Banking mistakes?Do I have to repay policy loans in Infinite Banking?How does Parkinson's Law cause Infinite Banking mistakes?Are policy illustrations reliable for Infinite Banking decisions?What did Nelson Nash mean by “think long range”?How do taxes relate to Infinite Banking mistakes? What you'll gain (and why it matters) If you're new here, I'm Rachel Marshall, co-host of The Money Advantage and a fierce believer that families can build multigenerational wealth with wisdom, not stress. The primary keyword for this piece is “Infinite Banking Mistakes,” and we're going to name them, explain why they happen, and give you practical steps to get back on track. You'll learn: Why behavior beats policy design over the long term How short-term thinking shows up in base/PUA decisions The right way to think about uninterrupted compounding How to use loans and repay them without sabotaging growth The five “human problems” Nelson warned us about—and how to overcome them If you can absorb the mindset, the math becomes simple. If you skip the mindset, no design hack will save you. Let's go there. Infinite Banking Mistakes #1 — Treating IBC like a sales system, not a lifelong concept The mistake: Looking for a quick fix—“set up a policy, borrow immediately, invest, done”—and calling it Infinite Banking. Why it happens: Our culture loves shortcuts. We're used to products, not principles. But IBC isn't a product; it's a way of life. Nelson was explicit: it's not a sales system. When we treat it like a gadget, we ignore the behaviors that made debt a problem in the first place. What to do instead: Adopt a long-range view. Commit to capitalization for years, not months. Build rhythms. Premium drafting, policy reviews, loan repayment schedules. Measure behavior. Not just cash value growth; also repayment habits, added PUAs, and opportunity filters. Infinite Banking Mistakes #2 — Short-term policy design (and base vs. PUA confusion)
