Podcasts about Management

You're not a brain on legs. And if upgrading your mindset or sharpening your thinking hasn't delivered the breakthrough you expected, it may be time to pay attention to the one stream of data AI can't access: your body's real-time signals.In this episode, Michael and Megan sit down with science journalist Caroline Williams to unpack interoception—your internal sensory system. It's the mechanism that helps you interpret what's happening inside your body and quietly shapes your response. Together, they explore why modern life makes it so easy to override those signals and introduce simple shifts that make a big difference.If you've felt stuck in your head, worn out from pushing through, or unsure how to care for yourself in a high-demand season, this conversation offers a different path—habits that are practical, sustainable, and refreshingly free.Memorable Quotes“Anything you do with your body is gonna affect the signals that are going from within your body to your brain. And that changes how your brain predicts what you are capable of and what's gonna happen next.”“We can either be attending to the outside world or the internal world. You can't be doing it both at the same time. So if you are constantly out there, you can't be in here. And so you need to be able to have the ability to tune in, deal and then tune back out again.”“[Our lives today] don't really match up with what we were designed for. So we have to then seek out the movement that we don't get in our everyday lives.”“The relationship between moving and brain health isn't about how much time you spend exercising, it's about how much time you spend sedentary. So it's about breaking up the sedentary time.”“One of these things that seem to be gathering momentum a little bit is the idea of movement snacks. So throughout the day, it's like the equivalent of food snacks. You can quite easily snack all day long without really noticing, and the calories add up, right? It's the same with exercise, with movement.”“One of the easiest parts of lifestyle to protect your brain health and your capacity long-term is physical activity.”“We must remember that making time to properly give ourselves a break is helping us to function better afterwards.”“The way that embodied cognition works is that when you are moving forward through space, it gives the illusion of, of moving forward and making progress sort of mentally as well as physically.”“Most of what we need to look after ourselves, we already have if we just make time for it.”Key TakeawaysYour Inner Sense Offers Real Data. Interoception is how your brain interprets signals from inside your body to shape emotion, energy, and decision-making.Modern Life Trains Us to Override the Body. When you're always “out there” (screens, noise, urgency), you lose access to what's happening “in here.”Your Brain was Built to Move While Thinking. Cognitive strength isn't separate from the body—it depends on the body being engaged.Break Up Sedentary Time. Frequent movement throughout the day matters more than one intense workout. Try “movement snacks” instead of an all-or-nothing exercise plan.Go For a Walk. Walking boosts creativity, lowers confrontation in hard conversations, and increases bonding through synchronization.Rest Is a Skill, Not a Luxury. Waking rest and deep breathing can restore the nervous system when sleep alone isn't enough.Wearables? Maybe. Is your favorite wearable helping you tune into your inner sense, or outsourcing it? If the (sometimes contradictory) data increases anxiety or confusion, it may be time to return to lived experience as the primary guide.ResourcesInner Sense by Caroline WilliamsMove! by Caroline Williamswww.carolinewilliams.netWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/L7ksuXGCp3QThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Dr. Arthur Laffer to the show. Mr. Laffer is a Renowned American Economist and Best-Selling Author. In this wide-ranging discussion, Dr. Laffer provides deep insights into economic policy, drawing from his extensive experience as an economist and advisor to President Reagan. Dr. Laffer emphasizes the importance of five key pillars of economic prosperity: taxes, spending, monetary policy, regulatory policy, and trade policy. He argues that lower tax rates, spending restraint, sound monetary policy, minimal regulations, and free trade are essential for economic growth. Reflecting on his work with Reagan, he highlights how reducing tax rates from 70% to 28% and implementing strategic monetary policies transformed the US economy. Discussing current economic challenges, Dr. Laffer is optimistic about the US economy. He addresses concerns about national debt, arguing that while the numbers appear large, they are not as dire as they seem when considering debt-to-wealth ratios and debt service costs. He warns against income redistribution policies, presenting a mathematical theorem that demonstrates how such transfers invariably reduce total economic production. On monetary policy, Dr. Laffer criticizes recent Federal Reserve approaches, advocating for a price rule similar to the gold standard. He sees gold and cryptocurrencies as refuges from poor monetary management, believing private market solutions can create more stable currencies. He’s particularly impressed with stablecoins like Tether and their potential to provide monetary alternatives. Regarding global trade and geopolitics, Dr. Laffer advocates for peace through economic strength. He believes in free trade and mutual prosperity, arguing that countries should focus on becoming trading partners rather than adversaries. He’s critical of over-regulation and redistributionist policies in Europe and supports market-driven solutions to challenges like climate change. Throughout the interview, Dr. Laffer’s core message remains consistent: economic prosperity comes from creating incentives for production, minimizing government intervention, and allowing free markets to solve problems.

Laffer is one of the most influential economic minds of the last century. He is best known for the Laffer Curve, a groundbreaking theoretical construct illustrating the critical tradeoff between tax rates and government revenue—an idea Time Magazine named one of the few advances that “powered the 20th century”. Dr. Laffer's career spans the highest levels of academia and public policy. He served as the first Chief Economist at the Office of Management and Budget and was a core member of President Ronald Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board during both terms. His counsel was instrumental in triggering the global tax-cutting movement of the 1980s, advising leaders ranging from Margaret Thatcher to Donald Rumsfeld. An alumnus of Yale and Stanford, Dr. Laffer held distinguished professorships at the University of Chicago, USC, and Pepperdine. Today, he is the Chairman of Laffer Associates, providing institutional research and consulting from his base in Nashville. A prolific author of works including The End of Prosperity and Trumponomics, Dr. Laffer continues to shape the global conversation on fiscal policy and market incentives.

Dr. Nicole Rambo and Sarah explore bladder stones (uroliths) in horses, an uncommon condition usually made of calcium carbonate that forms around debris in the urinary tract. Signs can be subtle at first (mild colic, attitude or performance changes) but may progress to blood in the urine and painful or frequent urination, with geldings affected more severely than mares. Risk factors include high-alfalfa diets, dehydration, poor bladder emptying, and prior infections, especially in older horses. Management focuses on lowering dietary calcium and improving hydration, while popular remedies like apple cider vinegar currently lack supporting evidence.

Many teams struggle with the same invisible problem: unspoken norms that quietly undermine collaboration, performance, and trust. Even when leaders want better behaviors, more ownership, healthier boundaries, and stronger collaboration, change often stalls because no one has named what's actually happening.Fortunately, this week's guest helps managers put language to the hidden norms shaping their teams and offers a practical way to replace judgment-based practices with norms that help people do their best work.Nilofer Merchant is a bestselling author, speaker, and thought leader on innovation, collaboration, and organizational culture. In her work, she focuses on helping leaders identify the outdated norms holding teams back and redesign work in ways that unlock human potential. She is the author of Our Best Work and founder of The Intangible Labs.In this conversation, we explore how managers can surface unspoken norms, talk about them without defensiveness, and create shared ownership for cultural change. We also discuss why real change requires choice, not control, and how small shifts in language and process can cascade into healthier team dynamics.Get FREE mini-episode guides with the week's episode's big idea delivered to your inbox when you subscribe to my weekly email.Join the conversation now!Conversation Topics(00:00) Introduction(02:18) Why unspoken norms quietly shape team behavior(06:04) Naming judgment-based practices that limit performance(10:41) Replacing judgment with encouragement at work(15:36) How language gives teams permission to change(19:58) Connecting team values to everyday behaviors(24:27) Why do people resist change even when they want it(29:02) Creating choice instead of control to enable real change(30:02) [Extended Episode Only] How to talk openly about norms as a team(33:12) [Extended Episode Only] Using shared ownership to sustain new behaviors(37:57) [Extended Episode Only] Designing work that supports flexibility and trust

Dr. Nancy O'Hara, pediatrician and leading expert in PANS and PANDAS, joins me to unpack why some children experience sudden, dramatic changes in behavior, anxiety, OCD, tics, sleep, or emotional regulation following illness. For many families, these symptoms appear almost overnight and are often misdiagnosed as "just anxiety," behavioral issues, or psychiatric disorders, leaving parents confused, dismissed, and unsure how to help their child.   Together we explore:   - What PANS and PANDAS are, and how infections like strep, viruses, or tick-borne illness can trigger sudden neuropsychiatric symptoms in children. - What to assess to help you determine if your child has a generalized anxiety disorder or if it may be PANS/PANDAS that is the root cause of their symptoms. - Why PANS/PANDAS is often missed or misunderstood in both medical and mental health settings. - The three-pronged approach to treatment: Addressing the trigger, the immune system, and the child's emotional and behavioral symptoms. - How therapy, both for parents and children, can support recovery, even when symptoms have a medical origin. - Understanding that there is real hope for healing and that it's never too late to identify and address PANS or PANDAS.   This episode is designed to help parents and clinicians feel more informed, less alone, and more confident in recognizing when a child's behavior may be signaling something deeper. PANS and PANDAS are real, treatable conditions that deserve compassionate, comprehensive care.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

There are many responsibilities that come with being a salon owner, and if we're honest, most of us give very little thought to them before we open our doors. One of the biggest blind spots is the ongoing training and development of our teams. Too many salon owners assume their people will arrive fully formed and ready to perform. But it just doesn't work like that.In this episode, I'm asking the question: have we created an industry where owners and managers are afraid to be the leaders we're meant to be? Because when there's no real training culture in a salon, the cost is real: poor retention, fragmented culture, no career path. And that lack of leadership is one of the key drivers pushing good stylists towards self-employment.But this episode isn't just about the problem; it's about the solution. What does a salon with a real training culture actually look like? And what changes for your team and your business when you stop waiting for people to show up ready and start developing them yourself?IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] Welcome [00:45] Why salon owners expect too much before they've given enough [02:06] The transition from stylist to salon owner, and what gets missed along the way [03:00] How teams are left to pick up bits and pieces from social media and product events [07:28] The real cost: poor retention, no culture, no career path [07:58] Why the self-employment exodus is a leadership problem, not a people problem [09:20] What a real training culture actually looks like [10:40] You don't have to do it yourself, but you do have to make it happen [12:25] The numbers that tell you whether your stylists really know their stuff [13:11] The leverage you have as a leader: productivity and pay [13:57] What real leadership looks like in practice [14:59] The takeaway: it's your responsibility to develop them [15:40] How structured training changes everything[16:00] Final thoughts and next steps Want MORE to help you GROW?

Don't miss out on LA's NADA Session on Feb. 5th at 12:30 PM PST in Las Vegas!     Millionaire Insights: Rising in the Automotive Industry One Sale at a Time Key Takeaways Embrace Emotional Intelligence: Mastering the art of emotional intelligence can transform sales experiences and lead to higher success in the automotive industry. Build Wealth Through Process and Support: Following a structured sales process and seeking mentorship paves the way for personal and financial growth. Women in Leadership: Despite being male-dominated, the automotive industry offers significant growth opportunities for women, supported by resilience and mentorship. Unlocking the Power of Emotional Intelligence in Automotive Sales In the fast-paced world of automotive sales, emotional intelligence plays a pivotal role in setting top performers apart from the rest. As LA Williams stressed in the podcast, the ability to read customers, understand their needs, and empathize with their excitement or concerns can make all the difference. Alyssa Bragg exemplifies this concept, noting, "If you have a customer that's coming in and they're having their first baby and they're all excited for it, you better get your ass up and be excited too. Like you're part of the family." This ability to identify and manage both personal emotions and the emotions of others allows salespeople to create lasting relationships with clients. It not only improves the client's experience but often leads to higher customer satisfaction and retention. Bragg underscores the importance of active listening and connecting with customers on a personal level, which are integral to effective emotional intelligence. This is what transforms a typical sales transaction into a trusted relationship, ultimately increasing sales and boosting overall dealership performance. In broader terms, adopting emotional intelligence across a dealership can change the culture and enhance team performance. It fosters a supportive environment where team members can thrive, leveraging each other's strengths and learning from shared experiences. Process, Perseverance, and Wealth-Building Strategies Bragg's journey from a BDC representative to managing a broad spectrum of automotive roles showcases the transformative power of perseverance and process adherence. This consistent application of learned procedures is fundamental in the path from ordinary salesman to an industry leader. "Follow the process that you have in place…if there's a breakdown in that process, there's going to be a breakdown in your sale," Bragg explains. A crucial aspect of building wealth in the automotive world is understanding and executing a dealership's sales process meticulously. From the initial meet and greet to a comprehensive needs analysis, every step matters. LA Williams discussed the importance of discipline, reminding listeners that the dealership environment can expose flaws just as quickly as it rewards achievements. This points to the necessity of maintaining a disciplined approach to consistently achieve sales targets and personal financial goals. Moreover, seeking mentorship and guidance from more experienced colleagues can be crucial in overcoming industry challenges. As Bragg conveys, the affirmation and coaching from her peers propelled her to realize her full potential. This aspect of shared learning and communal support is integral in cultivating a culture of growth, highlighting the significant role it plays in both individual and team success within the automotive industry. Navigating the Challenges and Opportunities for Women in Automotive Leadership Although the automotive industry remains predominantly male, there are profound opportunities for women who choose to navigate its challenges with resilience and ambition. Alyssa Bragg has successfully transcended traditional barriers, moving from sales into leadership roles. Her story serves as an inspiration and a testament to overcoming skepticism through determination and skill. Bragg shares her experiences frankly, recognizing both the challenges and the burgeoning opportunities: "The instinct is…that women don't know how to sell, women don't know how to run a business. But we do. We do. And we're so hungry and so eager to learn." This hunger translates into tenacity and resilience, qualities that allow women to persevere despite the skepticism they may encounter. Moreover, Bragg emphasizes the importance of perseverance and mentorship in overcoming these barriers. She encourages women in the field to "find yourself a mentor and just keep your head up and keep moving through," which highlights the critical role that strong professional networks and mentorship can play in navigating and overcoming industry challenges. By sharing experiences and seeking guidance, women can continue to climb the ranks within this dynamic field, shaping the future of automotive leadership. The lessons from the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast offer a well-rounded view of what it takes to succeed in the automotive industry. Emotional intelligence stands out as a vital skill to nurture connections with clients and colleagues alike. Bragg's advocacy for a steadfast focus on process and her testimony to the financial possibilities available to dedicated individuals exemplify the pathway to wealth and growth. Meanwhile, her tenacity as a woman navigating the male-dominated industry underscores the transformational possibilities present in embracing mentorship and resilience.

In this episode of the PurrPodcast, Dr. Susan Little and Dr. Jolle Kirpensteijn welcome Dr. Katie Tolbert from Texas A&M University for a practical and science-driven discussion on chronic pancreatitis in cats, with a strong focus on the critical role nutrition plays in long-term management. Together, they explore why chronic pancreatitis is often subtle and multifactorial, how dietary composition influences inflammation and gastrointestinal stability, and—perhaps most importantly—how treats, supplements, and small “extras” can quietly unbalance a carefully formulated therapeutic diet. Even a few treats can dilute nutrient density, disrupt macronutrient balance, and compromise clinical progress, making owner education and dietary consistency essential parts of successful case management. This episode is packed with clinical pearls for veterinarians who want to optimize nutritional strategies, improve compliance, and better understand how precision feeding can significantly impact outcomes in feline chronic pancreatitis.Thanks for tuning in to the Purr Podcast with Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle!If you enjoyed today's episode, don't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave us a review—it really helps other cat lovers and vet nerds find the show.

Sometimes the best conversations start with a simple question—and then another, and another. This week, we put Kate Morgan, Jaci Russo, and Ted Wolf in the hot seat and fire away: Are you hiring? Are you finding impressive job candidates? What was the worst job you ever had—and did you learn anything from it? Have you bought crypto? If you had $10,000 a month to spend on marketing, where would it go? Should a marketing agency ever turn its marketing over to another marketing agency? What's holding you back? What's the simplest thing you've never quite figured out how to do?None of these are trick questions, but they don't necessarily have easy answers. Kate admits she's never opened her accounting software. Jaci says one of the best things that ever happened to her was getting fired. Ted recounts losing 40 percent of his company's revenue in a single weekend. Running a business means living with trade-offs, uncertainty, and the occasional punch to the gut. As Jaci reminds us, it usually works out—one way or another. But that doesn't mean the answers are simple when you're in the middle of it.

  In this part, Swamiji narrates how Ved Vyas, despite compiling the Vedas, Mahabharata, Puranas, and Vedanta Sutras, remained dissatisfied. Narad Ji appeared and explained that Vyasa had described Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha, but not the pure Bhagavat Dharma — devotion beyond material goals.  To illustrate, Narad Ji shared his own story. In his previous life, he was born the son of a maidservant in an ashram. During Chaturmas, he served saints, listened to their discourses, and tasted the remnants of their prasadam. This purified his heart and filled him with longing for God. After his mother's death, he wandered to holy places, where he briefly received the Lord's darshan. The Lord told him that this vision was given only to ignite his desire, and that through lifelong devotion he would attain union in his next birth.  Narad Ji then engaged in austerity and sadhana, and in his next life appeared as the mind-born son of Brahma, eternally traveling the three worlds, singing the glories of the Lord. He urged Vyasa to compose a scripture centered solely on devotion. Inspired by Narad Ji's guidance and his own divine realizations, Vyasa composed the Srimad Bhagavatam, describing the spotless Dharma of Bhakti.  This part emphasizes that Narad Ji's transformation demonstrates the power of Bhakti: regardless of birth or circumstance, devotion alone elevates the soul and leads to God-realization.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

  In this part, Swamiji explains the six questions raised by the sages of Naimisharanya and how Suta Goswami answered them. The sages asked: what is the highest welfare in Kali Yuga, the essence of all scriptures, the reason for Krishna's descent, His divine pastimes, the other avatars of God, and where Dharma resides after His departure.  Suta Goswami revealed that the supreme Dharma is pure devotion to the Lord, free from selfish motives. He clarified that the Absolute Truth is realized in three aspects — Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan — with Bhagavan, the personal form of God, being supreme. The Lord descends to uplift souls, restore Dharma, and reveal His purifying pastimes.  Swamiji then narrates the 24 principal avatars of God described in the Bhagavatam: the Four Kumaras, Varaha, Narad, Nar‑Narayan, Kapil, Dattatreya, Yajna, Rishabh, Prithu, Matsya, Kurma, Dhanvantari, Mohini, Narsimha, Vaman, Parashuram, Vyas, Ram, Balaram, Krishna, Buddha, and Kalki who will appear at the end of Kali Yuga. Each avatar demonstrates a unique aspect of divine compassion, guidance, and protection.  This part emphasizes that after Krishna's departure, Dharma has taken shelter in the Srimad Bhagavatam, which shines like the sun to dispel the darkness of Kali Yuga.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

In this part, Swamiji narrates the events after Shree Krishna's departure from the world. Arjun returned from Dwarka with sorrow, describing how Krishna arranged for the Yadavas' destruction and then concluded His earthly leelas. Dwarka itself was submerged into the ocean. On hearing this, Queen Kunti departed in devotion, and Yudhishthir renounced his throne, installing Parikshit as king before retiring with the Pandavas to the Himalayas.  Swamiji explains how King Parikshit ruled righteously, ensuring prosperity and Dharma. During his inspection of the kingdom, he encountered a cow (symbolizing Mother Earth) crying and a bull (symbolizing Dharma) standing on one leg. Their dialogue revealed the decline of righteousness and the rise of sin in Kali Yuga.  Parikshit then confronted a dark figure attacking the bull — Kali personified. When challenged, Kali admitted he had to reside on Earth by divine decree. Parikshit allowed him shelter only in four places: gambling, intoxication, animal slaughter, and illicit relations. Later, as a concession, he permitted Kali to reside in gold, which became the subtle entry point for greed, corruption, and hypocrisy.  Swamiji emphasizes that this incident shows how Dharma weakens in Kali Yuga, and how even a righteous king like Parikshit was eventually influenced by Kali through the golden crown, leading to the curse of death within seven days.  This part highlights that Kali Yuga resides wherever unrighteousness, greed, and duplicity prevail. Yet, the Srimad Bhagavatam shines as the guiding light, protecting Dharma and devotion in this age of darkness.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

In this part, Swamiji narrates the divine circumstances surrounding the birth of King Parikshit. During the Kurukshetra war, Ashwatthama released the deadly Brahmastra weapon to destroy the lineage of the Pandavas. The weapon entered the womb of Uttara, who was carrying the child of Abhimanyu.  Swamiji explains how Uttara ran to Shree Krishna for protection. Out of compassion, Krishna personally entered the womb and shielded the unborn child with His divine energy. Thus, the child was saved and later named Parikshit, meaning “the one who examines,” because he constantly sought the presence of the Lord in everything he saw.  This part emphasizes that Parikshit's life was sanctified from the very beginning by Krishna's grace. His birth itself demonstrates the Lord's protection of His devotees and the continuation of Dharma through the Pandava lineage.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

  In this part, Swamiji narrates the profound prayers of Queen Kunti to Shree Krishna after the Kurukshetra war. As Krishna prepared to return to Dwarka, Kunti recalled His astonishing leelas — the Supreme Lord who terrifies even death was once bound by Mother Yashoda's love.  When Krishna asked her to request a boon, Kunti prayed for hardships (vipatti) instead of prosperity. She explained that in times of ease, one forgets God, but in adversity, the heart turns to Him. Each trial she faced — widowhood, exile, humiliation, and war — brought her closer to Krishna's shelter.  Swamiji emphasizes that Kunti's wisdom reveals the hidden grace of suffering. Difficulties detach us from material illusions and deepen our dependence on God. Through the metaphor of a butterfly struggling to emerge from its cocoon, Swamiji illustrates that struggles are necessary for strength and growth.  This part highlights that true welfare lies not in worldly comfort but in devotion born of trials. Kunti's prayer teaches that adversities are divine blessings, drawing the soul nearer to the Lord.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

  In this part, Swamiji narrates the final teachings of Bhishma Pitamah, delivered while lying on the bed of arrows after the Kurukshetra war. Yudhishthir, burdened with doubts about kingship and Dharma, approached Bhishma for guidance.  Swamiji explains that Bhishma, despite immense suffering, remained absorbed in remembrance of Shree Krishna. He taught that Dharma is subtle, contextual, and cannot be reduced to rigid rules. Its essence lies in selfless duty performed in surrender to God. Bhishma emphasized that rulers must uphold justice, protect their subjects, and act without selfish motives, guided always by devotion.  Swamiji highlights Bhishma's unwavering devotion — even in his final moments, he fixed his mind on Krishna, waiting for the auspicious time to leave his body only when the Lord was present before him. His lecture revealed that Dharma is perfected not by external duty alone but by Bhakti, which sanctifies all actions.  This part emphasizes that Bhishma's wisdom bridges morality and spirituality, showing that true Dharma culminates in surrender to the Supreme Lord.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

In this part, Swamiji narrates the sacred dialogue between Shukadev Ji and King Parikshit, who had been cursed to die in seven days. Calmly renouncing his kingdom, Parikshit sat by the Ganga and asked the sages: “What is the true welfare for a man at the time of death?”  Shukadev Ji, the liberated son of Ved Vyas, arrived and explained that fear of death arises from attachment. By cultivating detachment, one becomes fearless. He urged Parikshit to use his remaining days to engage in three practices: hearing, chanting, and remembering the names, forms, virtues, and pastimes of Shree Krishna.  To guide him, Shukadev Ji taught two meditations:  Virat meditation — seeing the entire universe as the cosmic form of God, which dissolves attachment and lamentation.  Roop meditation — focusing on the sweet personal form of Shree Krishna, which increases love and devotion.  Swamiji emphasizes that this dialogue is the very origin of the Srimad Bhagavatam. It shows that the supreme welfare at life's end is not rituals or worldly concerns, but Bhakti — loving remembrance of God.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

When a big storm is on the way, it happens like clockwork: empty shelves, frantic shoppers, and a sudden shortage of eggs, bread, and milk. Why do people panic-buy the same items every time? And how much do you actually need if you're stuck at home for a few days? This episode begins with the psychology behind panic shopping — and why otherwise rational people behave this way. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/happy-trails/201601/panic-shopping-the-psychology-of-the-bread-milk-eggs-rush Most of us don't think of ourselves as vulnerable. We assume danger happens to other people — until it doesn't. In reality, small, everyday behaviors can quietly increase or reduce your personal safety. The way you speak, move, and pay attention sends signals you may not even realize you're broadcasting. Dannah Eve joins me to explain how street smarts really work and how to protect yourself using simple, practical awareness. She's a personal safety educator and author of Street Smarts: Trust Your Instincts, Outsmart Danger, and Stay Safe in a World That Isn't. (https://amzn.to/4roXfs8). Here is the link to her Instagram posts: https://www.instagram.com/dannah_eve/ We love the idea of the sudden “aha” moment — the brilliant flash of inspiration that changes everything. But that's rarely how great ideas actually happen. Most breakthroughs are the result of borrowing, refining, recombining, and sometimes stumbling onto something unexpected. George Newman explains what science reveals about where ideas come from and how you can increase your odds of having a great one. He's an associate professor at the Rotman School of Management and author of How Great Ideas Happen: The Hidden Steps Behind Breakthrough Success. (https://amzn.to/4ab4L2J). And finally — kissing may not count as exercise, but it does more than you think. From emotional connection to physical benefits, we wrap up with what science says actually happens when you kiss someone. https://www.healthline.com/health/benefits-of-kissing Learn more about your ad choices.
