When the economy gets rocky, smart businesses don't panic—they prepare. They focus on what really matters, streamline what they can, and make sure they're flexible enough to weather the storm. In this episode, we're borrowing that same mindset and translating it into the way we think about our own self-care routines and health habits. Because whether it's travel, stress, a challenging diagnosis, or just a really busy season, life will test your systems.We'll explore six ways businesses recession-proof themselves—and translate them into strategies you can use to build more resilience into your own routines. Not to control every variable, but to stay steady when things get wobbly.Key TakeawaysIdentify your non-negotiables--the routines, supports, and boundaries that keep you grounded and functional.Once your essentials are clear, you can consciously pause or scale back the “nice-to-haves” without guilt. This prevents burnout and preserves energy for what really matters.Don't rely on just one strategy. Have multiple ways to meet your needs so you're not derailed by a single point of failure.Build your reserves--whether it's food in the freezer, margin in your calendar, or emotional stamina. In a pinch, shift from growth to resilience mode. Maintenance is a win when your capacity is limited.Strengthen your relationships with the people, tools, and systems that support your follow-through. Don't wait until things get rocky to realize how much you depend on those connections. Interested in having Monica present at your next live or virtual event?  Learn more. ★ Support this podcast ★

While some are starting to eye the finish line, others are shifting into readiness for more autonomy—eager to "live the Livy way." The conversation explores how personalizing the plan is about more than just food; it's about trusting yourself, your body, and the choices you're making. They address common concerns with the current tweak—splitting up meals and snacks—and remind members that eating more often isn't the same as eating more food. One member's comment sparks a deeper discussion about portion perception, physical hunger, and the science behind weight fluctuations. It's a reminder that the real weight gain doesn't come from nutrient-rich foods—it comes from old diet mindsets sneaking in.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulnessTo learn more about The Livy Method and our Maintenance & Mindfulness group, visit livymethod.com.

This episode explores why maintenance tasks, despite their fundamental importance, are often neglected or deprioritised in our daily lives and professional work. It delves into the psychological biases that make consistent maintenance challenging, such as hyperbolic discounting, where immediate gratification is valued over future gains, and the construal level theory, which highlights how psychological distance makes preventative work less impactful. The concept of the "maintenance paradox" is introduced, explaining that when maintenance is done well, its benefits go unnoticed, diminishing the sense of reward. The episode encourages listeners to adopt a maintenance mindset, making these tasks a standard habit rather than relying on typical prioritisation structures, as they are crucial for enhancing the quality of overall experiences and preventing future, more urgent problems.People tend to discount future gains or devalue them relative to immediate gratification, a concept known as hyperbolic discounting. This means a dollar now is generally more appealing than a dollar tomorrow, or even two dollars tomorrow.Many important tasks, whether changing guitar strings, making your bed, clearing email backlogs, or improving a development environment (often termed "tech debt" in a professional context), are easily put off because they seem like low priority in the moment.The "maintenance paradox" illustrates that when maintenance is performed correctly, its positive effects are often invisible because it prevents negative outcomes that are never experienced. This lack of visible benefit means there's no immediate "dopamine rush" or gratification from consistent maintenance.Construal level theory explains why maintenance is difficult by highlighting different forms of psychological distance.Temporal distance relates to the future value of maintenance being less immediate.Spatial distance suggests tasks further away (e.g., in an attic) are more likely to be in disrepair.Social distance refers to maintenance affecting others more than oneself, reducing direct personal impact.Hypothetical distance is particularly relevant for maintenance, as preventing a problem means never experiencing the potential downside, making the value of the preventative work hard to assess or feel. This contrasts with reactive work, where real losses are visible, making it seem more urgent and higher priority.A "bad cycle" can be created by the dopamine rush experienced when allowing things to pile up and then finally cleaning or fixing them, which inadvertently trains individuals that it's acceptable to delay maintenance. The marginal benefit of immediate action doesn't provide enough immediate gratification compared to the larger reward of eventual relief.To counteract these biases, maintenance must become a standard practice or habit. Adopting a "maintenance mindset" means understanding that these tasks enhance the quality of other experiences, such as making a bed to create a calm environment or applying sunscreen to prevent future pain.Maintenance tasks often fall into the "important but not urgent" quadrant of the Eisenhower matrix, but they only become urgent when the disrepair is overwhelming, like guitar strings breaking on stage. It is vital to integrate these behaviours into daily routines rather than relying solely on typical prioritisation structures.The podcast itself can be seen as a form of "maintenance behaviour" for one's career and professional life.

Dr Randy McDermott takes us behind the scenes of fire science's most critical software tool in this conversation about the Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS) developed at NIST. As one of the developers, Randy offers valuable insights into how this essential modelling tool is maintained, improved, and adapted to meet the evolving challenges of the fire safety community.The conversation begins with a look at the development process itself, based on a greater picture roadmap and also addressing practical issues reported by users. This balance between vision and responsiveness has helped FDS maintain its position as the gold standard in fire modelling. Randy unpacks the massive validation guide (over 1,200 pages) and explains how users should approach it to understand model capabilities and uncertainties. The guide, along with all the validation cases, is available at Github repository here: https://github.com/firemodels/fdsRather than blindly applying FDS to any problem, he emphasises the importance of identifying similar validated cases and understanding the limitations of the software for specific applications. The discussion tackles emerging challenges like battery fires and mass timber construction – areas where traditional fire modelling approaches face significant hurdles. Randy addresses the limitations of current models while outlining pathways for future development, including potential integration with external specialised models and improvements in chemistry modelling.Finally, we also get to talk about computational costs and efficiency. As Randy explains the implementation of GPU acceleration and the challenges of incorporating detailed chemistry, listeners gain a deeper appreciation of the tradeoffs involved in advanced fire modelling.Whether you're an FDS user, fire safety engineer, or simply curious about computational modelling, this episode offers valuable perspectives on the past, present and future of the tool that underpins modern fire safety science. Oh, and Randy is not just an FDS developer - he is also a prolific researcher.

We have a great episode planned and will focus on Men's Health with a highlight on Hormones. Men are just as vulnerable as Women to having hormonal imbalances or even hormonal issues, but it is just not talked about enough.  Today we will talk about who, what, when and where.Talking Points:-Why do men need testosterone?Testosterone is a hormone that plays a vital role in men's health. Low or deficient levels are associated with fatigue, weight gain, muscle and bone mass loss, low libido, depression, impotence, poor memory, and other symptoms.There are many reasons why men can have low testosterone.-How common is Low Testosterone?Low or deficient testosterone in males is problematic in America. According to the Cleveland Clinic, low testosterone affects almost 40% of men aged 45 and older! Testosterone deficiency negatively affects a man's quality of life and is a known risk factor for early death. Testosterone levels are at their highest levels by early adulthood and then decrease by 1% to 2% a year beginning in the 40's.-What causes Low Testosterone?I find that testosterone deficiency or sub-optimal testosterone levels are common in both men and women. If your testosterone levels are low, then you may experience:FatigueLow libidoPoor memory and concentrationLoss of muscle massLoss of bone massIncreased body fatPoor exercise recoveryElevated cholesterol levelsDepressionDecreased resistance to stressErectile Dysfunction (men)Increased heart disease risk-Are there certain foods that can raise or lower Testosterone?-Estrogen Dominance in Men-Let's move on and talk about the Prostate. What is Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH?-ROOT CAUSES-How Common-Can it lead to Hormone Imbalance?-ED and Low Libido-Bladder and urinary tract issues?-Any Supportive Supplements for Men dealing with lower Testosterone levels?There are not many supplements proven to increase men's testosterone levels. However, a unique extract of the ayurvedic herb known as ashwagandha has been shown in several studies to elevate male testosterone levels.The ashwagandha extract known as KSM-66 was shown in a recent study to significantly increase blood testosterone levels and sexual well-being. The study involved fifty participants with low sexual desire who were given KSM-66 at a dose of 600 mg or placebo daily. Outcomes were measured with a questionnaire and blood testosterone levels at the beginning and end of the 8-week study. Compared to the placebo, the KSM-66 demonstrated significant benefits.The ashwagandha extract in this study is the same one I use in Testosterone Health  (which has 675 mg of KSM-66 per serving). This supplemental approach gives men the potential to improve their libido and testosterone levels without prescription testosterone.-Does Saw Palmetto Really Help the Prostate?Learn more about Dr.StenglerLearn more about Emerald Labs and save 20% off with the code: Forever

In this episode, Bryan and Roman dive deep into the world of Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems, focusing on the persistent issue of compressor failures. VRF technology has evolved, and it has seen a major rise in the North American market since the early 2010s. Roman shares his passion for VRF, tracing its origins back to 1982 and explaining how it earned the nickname “chiller killer” by replacing traditional chiller systems in large facilities like hotels, churches, and schools. However, with this rapid adoption came a troubling reputation: VRF systems became notorious for frequent compressor failures, prompting some institutions to revert to older technologies. There are three primary causes of compressor failure in VRF systems: oil lubrication issues, liquid refrigerant return, and electrical failures. VRF compressors are shipped with excess oil to account for the system's extensive piping and multiple indoor units, but improper refrigerant charge—either overcharging or undercharging—can disrupt oil return and lead to gradual compressor death. They emphasize the importance of correct installation, accurate charge calculation, and diligent maintenance. Bryan adds that measuring discharge superheat is a key diagnostic tool: high discharge superheat with normal suction superheat signals poor lubrication and impending failure. The discussion then shifts to the dangers of liquid refrigerant returning to the compressor. Even small amounts can wash oil off the scroll plates, leading to metal-on-metal contact, galling, and eventual mechanical breakdown. Roman details the difference between high-pressure shell and low-pressure shell compressors, noting that VRF systems are more susceptible to operational flood back, which can cause elevated amp draws and catastrophic failure. They also highlight the role of contamination—such as copper shavings or sand from installation—which can damage expansion valves and lead to chronic flood back issues. Maintenance, including regular oil analysis and monitoring of expansion valve performance, is crucial for long-term reliability. Finally, the episode covers electrical failures, often the result of underlying mechanical issues rather than true electrical faults. The hosts advocate for using insulation resistance testing (megohmmeters) as a maintenance tool to track winding degradation over time. They stress that proper cleanup after a compressor failure is vital, recommending temporary filter dryers and oil analysis to mitigate contamination. The conversation closes with practical advice: always investigate the root cause of a compressor failure, communicate findings with clients, and prioritize best practices in installation and service to prevent repeat issues.  Topics Covered in This Episode: The history and rise of VRF technology in North America Why VRF systems earned the nickname “chiller killer” The three primary causes of VRF compressor failure: Oil lubrication issues (overcharge/undercharge, oil return) Liquid refrigerant return (flood back, expansion valve failures) Electrical failures (mechanical causes, insulation degradation) Diagnostic techniques: discharge superheat, suction superheat, amp draw analysis The impact of installation practices and system contamination Maintenance best practices: oil analysis, filter dryers, insulation resistance testing The importance of root cause analysis after compressor failures Resources for ongoing VRF education: VRF Tech Talk podcast, Facebook group, and Roman's YouTube channel   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Inevitably, open eyes always seem to turn upward. Our faith and our refusal to bow are weapons forged in darkness. The American air industry is now in chaos. Combine airlines, aviation, national security, and the heavy infiltration of Chinese risk. Maintenance scares and hub battles. Where are the reasonable fares? The US Govt buys tickets in bulk? Huh? Looks like money laundering. Eliminate brokers for a start. Operating on a debt based closed structure. Amy Klobuchar is up to her neck in all of this. Firmware is very hard to inspect. Counterfeit avionics is a real threat. When pilots can't override the AI. Let's build a national aircraft security program. All domestic flights need more scrutiny. Chip technology has risks too. China (Taiwan) produces 90% of high level chips. Yes to mandatory source audits. Flight ready seals and instant response protocols. Software components are hackable. Compromised chips are everywhere. All airlines are leased. Even the F35 has Chinese components. We need a Federal National Airline Program. Why not lease at cost and back it with the Defense Dept? Lower costs, safer skies. Restore jobs plus national security. We should no longer out source the wings we fly on. Not when our families are on board.
