New Year's resolutions promise hope, but for many people, they quietly deliver shame, stress, and self-blame instead. If resolutions leave you feeling worse about yourself every January, this episode explains why — and what actually works. Host Gabe Howard is joined by returning favorite Jodi Wellman to unpack why traditional goal-setting often backfires, especially when it comes to mental health. They explore the psychology behind the “fresh start effect,” how all-or-nothing thinking sets us up to fail, and why massive lifestyle overhauls rarely stick. More importantly, they offer practical, compassionate alternatives; Like shifting from rigid goals to identity-based habits, process-focused wins, and restarting without guilt when things go off track. Listener Takeaways The mental health cost of setting outcome-based goals Why smaller, process-focused goals actually create lasting change How to restart a goal without guilt or self-punishment Whether you've already ditched your New Year's resolutions or never believed in them to begin with, this episode explores a healthier, more realistic way to create change—without harming your mental well-being. “What is really common, which is set a goal. Don't get there. Feel bad about it. So net net it's not a good experience. For many of us, that's problematic because we feel badly about ourselves [. . .] And maybe that's your version of self-compassion is to let that goal gracefully go.” ~Jodi Wellman, MAPP Our guest, Jodi Wellman, MAPP is a speaker, author, and facilitator on living lives worth living. She founded Four Thousand Mondays to help people make the most of the time they are lucky to be above ground.

One of the things I love most about podcasting is getting to have the conversations I wish more people could hear, especially the ones that normalize what so many of us quietly struggle with.I sit down with my friend and fellow MAPP grad Corinne Kneis, a psychotherapist and wellness educator whose work beautifully bridges empathy, mindfulness, ADHD, and anxiety.Corinne and I first met during the Master of Applied Positive Psychology program at the University of Pennsylvania, and I've long admired how she brings both science and humanity into her work. In this conversation, we explore what empathy really looks like in therapy and everyday life, why so many women mask ADHD with anxiety and perfectionism, and how mindfulness can help create space between emotional overwhelm and thoughtful response.We also talk openly about sensitivity, burnout, overfunctioning, and the strengths that often come with ADHD—like curiosity, passion, and love of learning. Corinne shares practical tools therapists use (and that anyone can apply) to regulate the nervous system, manage anxiety, and build healthier relationships with their emotions.Whether you're navigating anxiety, ADHD, burnout, or simply want more emotional clarity and self-compassion, this episode offers grounded insight and actionable strategies you can start using right away.Top 5 TakeawaysEmpathy has two forms. Understanding the difference between affective (emotional) and cognitive empathy can reduce burnout and increase compassion.Many women mask ADHD with anxiety. Perfectionism and overfunctioning are often coping strategies, not character flaws.Mindfulness creates space. Simple practices can help separate emotional reactions from cognitive responses.ADHD is not a deficit. Differences often come with powerful strengths like curiosity, passion, and creativity.Structure + play matter. Routines, humor, and nervous system regulation are essential tools for emotional well-being.Learn More about Corinne Below:Flourish Psychotherapy by Corinne KneisFollow Along with Corinne on InstagramConnect with Corinne on LinkedIn--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.
Understanding the Exclusionary Rule: A Deep Dive into Criminal ProcedureThis conversation provides a comprehensive overview of the exclusionary rule in criminal procedures, detailing its historical evolution, the shift from judicial integrity to deterrence, and the mechanics of how the rule operates. It discusses the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine, exceptions to the rule, the good faith exception, and the distinctions between Miranda violations and coerced confessions. The conversation concludes with insights on harmless error and impeachment, emphasizing the ongoing tension between individual rights and societal safety.The exclusionary rule is a cornerstone of criminal procedure, designed to protect constitutional rights by preventing illegally obtained evidence from being used in court. This rule, rooted in the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments, serves as a judicially created remedy rather than a personal constitutional right. Its primary goal is to deter police misconduct by ensuring that evidence obtained through illegal means is inadmissible in court.The Evolution of the Exclusionary RuleThe exclusionary rule has evolved significantly since its inception. Initially applied only to federal cases, it was extended to state courts through landmark cases like Mapp v. Ohio. This expansion was crucial in standardizing constitutional protections across the United States. However, the rule's application has been subject to numerous exceptions and limitations, reflecting the ongoing tension between individual rights and societal security.Key Cases and DoctrinesSeveral key cases have shaped the exclusionary rule, including Weeks v. United States, Wolf v. Colorado, and Mapp v. Ohio. These cases highlight the rule's development and the Supreme Court's shifting philosophy. The rule's application is further complicated by doctrines such as the "fruit of the poisonous tree," which extends exclusion to derivative evidence, and exceptions like the independent source and inevitable discovery doctrines.Balancing Rights and SecurityThe exclusionary rule embodies the delicate balance between protecting individual rights and ensuring collective security. While it aims to deter police misconduct, its application can result in the exclusion of reliable evidence, potentially allowing guilty individuals to go free. This trade-off underscores the rule's complexity and the ongoing debate over its effectiveness as a deterrent.ConclusionThe exclusionary rule remains a vital component of criminal procedure, reflecting the judiciary's commitment to upholding constitutional rights. As legal professionals and students navigate its intricacies, understanding its history, key cases, and exceptions is essential for mastering this complex doctrine.TakeawaysThe exclusionary rule is a judicially created remedy.It aims to deter police misconduct by excluding illegally obtained evidence.Standing is crucial; defendants must prove their own rights were violated.The fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine extends to derivative evidence.Exceptions to the exclusionary rule include independent source and inevitable discovery.The good faith exception allows evidence if officers acted reasonably.Miranda violations have different remedies compared to Fourth Amendment violations.Coerced confessions lead to absolute exclusion of evidence.Harmless error allows convictions to stand despite errors in evidence admission.The tension between individual rights and societal safety is central to the exclusionary rule.criminal procedure, exclusionary rule, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Sixth Amendment, judicial integrity, deterrence, fruit of the poisonous tree, good faith exception, Miranda rights
Understanding the Fourth and Fifth Amendments: A Deep Dive into Constitutional LawThis conversation delves into the constitutional mechanisms that check government power within the criminal justice system, focusing on the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. It explores the exclusionary rule, its historical evolution, and the rationale behind it, including judicial integrity and deterrence. The discussion also covers the practical application of the Fourth Amendment through the stop and frisk doctrine established in Terry v. Ohio, and the implications of Miranda rights under the Fifth Amendment. The conversation emphasizes the balance between individual rights and law enforcement practices, highlighting the ongoing debate surrounding these critical legal principles.Imagine a world where the government could search your home or seize your property without any justification. The Fourth and Fifth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution stand as bulwarks against such overreach, ensuring that citizens' rights are protected from unwarranted government intrusion. This blog post explores the intricate legal frameworks and historical evolution of these amendments, shedding light on their critical role in safeguarding justice.The Exclusionary Rule: A Judicial Remedy The exclusionary rule is a cornerstone of Fourth Amendment jurisprudence, designed to prevent the use of illegally obtained evidence in court. Originating from the landmark case of Weeks v. United States in 1914, and later expanded to state courts in Mapp v. Ohio (1961), this rule underscores the principle that the government must not benefit from its own unlawful actions. The rule's dual rationales—judicial integrity and deterrence—have sparked ongoing debates about its effectiveness and necessity.Judicial Integrity vs. Deterrence: The Ongoing Debate Judicial integrity emphasizes the moral obligation of courts to uphold the law by excluding tainted evidence, thereby maintaining public trust in the justice system. On the other hand, deterrence focuses on discouraging police misconduct by removing the incentive to violate constitutional rights. Recent studies suggest that public confidence in the judiciary increases when the exclusionary rule is applied, highlighting its role in preserving the court's legitimacy.The Fifth Amendment and Miranda Rights The Fifth Amendment's protection against self-incrimination is another critical aspect of constitutional law. The Miranda v. Arizona decision in 1966 established the requirement for law enforcement to inform suspects of their rights, ensuring that confessions are obtained without coercion. This safeguard is vital in maintaining the balance between effective law enforcement and individual rights.The Balance of Power The Fourth and Fifth Amendments are more than just legal doctrines; they are essential components of a fair and just society. As the legal landscape continues to evolve, these amendments remind us of the delicate balance between government authority and individual freedoms. By understanding and upholding these constitutional protections, we ensure that justice prevails for all.Subscribe now to stay informed about the latest developments in constitutional law and how they impact your rights.TakeawaysThe Fourth and Fifth Amendments are crucial in checking government power.The exclusionary rule aims to uphold judicial integrity and deter police misconduct.Judicial integrity focuses on the court's honor, while deterrence aims to modify police behavior.The exclusionary rule has evolved significantly since its inception in 1914.MAP v. Ohio was a landmark case that extended the exclusionary rule to state courts.The Terry framework established the standards for stop and frisk procedures.constitutional law, exclusionary rule, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, criminal justice, police misconduct, judicial integrity, Miranda rights, reasonable suspicion, law enforcement
After months of strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug boats the USA conducted air strikes on multiple military targets in Venezuela's capital Caracas and captured President Nicolas Maduro. Foreign Minister Winston Peters made the government's first statement following the invasion, saying in a post on X: "New Zealand is concerned by and actively monitoring developments in Venezuela and expects all parties to act in accordance with international law." As an ally of the United States, eyes are on how New Zealand will react to the strikes. Former Defence Minister Wayne Mapp spoke to Andrew Dickens about how New Zealand should respond to the developing situation. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Why does happiness always feel one step away? In this episode, we welcome back positive psychology expert Jodi Wellman to explore why so many of us keep “moving the goalposts” on our own success, and learn why accomplishments that once thrilled us eventually feel ordinary. Jodi breaks down why we convince ourselves that one more thing — a new job, a relationship, a move, a big purchase — will finally deliver lasting happiness. Using Gabe's own podcasting journey as a case study, the conversation exposes a mental trap familiar to anyone who's ever felt like their wins “don't count” for long. But this episode isn't just about naming the problem — it's about fixing it. Jodi offers practical, research-backed strategies to help you savor your accomplishments, find a healthier balance between ambition and contentment, and stop letting your inner critic erase your progress. Listener takeaways why humans believe they're always “one thing away” from feeling fulfilled what the hedonic treadmill is and how it sabotages our happiness how to balance ambition with genuine joy so you can grow without feeling miserable If you've ever wondered, “Why don't I feel successful?” this is the episode that can finally help you understand. “We like to dupe ourselves. It's just one of the features of our psychology. It all comes down to this idea called the hedonic treadmill. We think, and we go for it. We'll buy the pill, we'll make the move, we'll take the job, we'll buy the car, we'll do a thing. And usually it's external stuff, but sometimes it's internal, like, I will become the person that I've been meant to be and that will make me happy. But then, because we adapt so well, this is this hedonic adaptation, hedonic treadmill, we adapt so reliably, damn it. And we end up, over time, some of us shorter than others. Naturally, meh. Okay, well, how come it's not doing it for me anymore?” ~Jodi Wellman, MAPP Our guest, Jodi Wellman, MAPP is a speaker, author, and facilitator on living lives worth living.

A view Australia's recent military alliance with Papua New Guinea could be the springboard for a wider 'Pacific Eyes' alliance. Australian think-tank Lowy Institute's proposing an intelligence sharing agreement between us, Australia, PNG and Fiji to counter China's influence in the region. It claims it'd also help tackle trans-national crime and climate-related disasters. Former Defence Minister Wayne Mapp says it would be a tough deal to negotiate, but it's feasible. He says Australia's alliance is about sharing more intelligence and cooperating more, like this proposed deal. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Transitions are inevitable. Whether it's becoming a parent, shifting careers, retiring, or simply navigating unexpected change. But why do transitions feel so unsettling, and how can we meet them with more self-compassion and patience?In this episode of Grow the Good, I sit down with my friend and fellow MAPP grad, Ilene Schaffer, to explore the psychology of transitions. With more than 25 years of experience in counseling psychology, Ilene shares her wisdom on navigating endings, sitting with uncertainty in the “neutral zone,” and creating intentional new beginnings.We talk about what it means to let go of old identities, how to clarify your non-negotiables, and why patience and self-compassion are the keys to moving through life's changes with resilience.Top 5 Takeaways:Self-compassion is essential in transitions, whether the change is chosen or not.The “neutral zone” between endings and beginnings is where reflection and growth take place.Defining non-negotiables helps guide decisions during uncertain times.Patience is vital; most transitions take 6–9 months to fully adjust.Fulfillment isn't about balance, it's about intentional choices aligned with your values.Tune in to learn more from Ilene, and hopefully, approach your next transition with a little bit more ease. --------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

Three Buddy Problem - Episode 59: Apple drops another emergency iOS patch and we unpack what that “may have been exploited” language really means: zero-click chains, why notifications help but forensics don't, and the uncomfortable truth that Lockdown Mode is increasingly the default for high-risk users. We connect the dots from ImageIO bugs to geopolitics, discuss who's likely using these exploits, why Apple's guidance stops short, and the practical playbook (ADP on, reboot often, reduce attack surface) that actually works. Plus, we debate Microsoft throttling MAPP access for Chinese vendors, the idea of “letters of marque” for cyber (outsourced offense: smart deterrent or Pandora's box?), and dissect two case studies that blur APT and crimeware: PipeMagic's CLFS zero-day and Russia-linked “Static Tundra” riding seven-year-old Cisco bugs.

1. Scrutiny of the "Tea" Dating AppThe women-focused dating app "Tea" faces backlash after two data breaches exposed 72,000 sensitive images and 1.1 million private messages. Though security upgrades were promised, past data remained exposed, and the app lacks end-to-end encryption. Additionally, anonymous features enabling posts about men have sparked defamation lawsuits. Critics argue Tea prioritized rapid growth over user safety, exemplifying the danger of neglecting cybersecurity in pursuit of scale.2. North Korean Remote Work InfiltrationCrowdStrike has flagged a 220% surge in North Korean IT operatives posing as remote workers—over 320 cases in the past year. These operatives use stolen/fake identities, aided by generative AI to craft résumés, deepfake interviews, and juggle multiple jobs. Their earnings fund Pyongyang's weapons programs. The tactic reveals the limits of traditional vetting and the need for advanced hiring security.3. Airportr's Data ExposureUK luggage service Airportr suffered a major security lapse exposing passport photos, boarding passes, and flight details—including those of diplomats. CyberX9 found it possible to reset accounts with just an email and no limits on login attempts. Attackers could gain admin access, reroute luggage, or cancel flights. Although patched, the incident underscores risks of convenience services with poor security hygiene.4. Risks of AI-Generated CodeVeracode's "2025 GenAI Code Security Report" found that nearly 45% of AI-generated code across 80 tasks had security flaws—many severe. This highlights the need for human oversight and thorough reviews. While AI speeds development, it also increases vulnerability if unchecked, making secure coding a human responsibility.5. Microsoft's SharePoint Hack ControversyChinese state hackers exploited flaws in SharePoint, breaching hundreds of U.S. entities. A key concern: China-based Microsoft engineers maintained the hacked software, potentially enabling earlier access. Microsoft also shared vulnerability data with Chinese firms through its MAPP program, while Chinese law requires such data be reported to the state. This raises alarms about outsourcing sensitive software to geopolitical rivals.6. Russian Embassy Surveillance AttackRussia's "Secret Blizzard" hackers used ISP-level surveillance to deliver fake Kaspersky updates to embassies. These updates installed malware and rogue certificates enabling adversary-in-the-middle attacks—allowing full decryption of traffic. The attack shows the threat of state-level manipulation of software updates and underscores the need for update authenticity verification.7. Signal's Threat to Exit AustraliaSignal may pull out of Australia if forced to weaken encryption. ASIO's push for access contradicts Signal's end-to-end encryption model, which can't accommodate backdoors without global compromise. This standoff underscores a broader debate: encryption must be secure for all or none. Signal's resistance reflects the rising tension between privacy advocates and governments demanding access.8. Los Alamos Turns to AILos Alamos National Laboratory has launched a National Security AI Office, signaling a pivot from nuclear to AI capabilities. With massive GPU infrastructure and university partnerships, the lab sees AI as the next frontier in scientific and national defense. This reflects a shift in global security dynamics—where large language models may be as strategically vital as missiles.

Three Buddy Problem - Episode 56: China-focused researcher Dakota Cary joins the buddies to dig into China's sprawling cyber ecosystem, from the HAFNIUM indictments and MSS tasking pipelines to the murky world of APT contractors and the ransomware hustle. We break down China's “entrepreneurial” model of intelligence collection, why public visibility into these threat actors is so hard to get right, and how companies like Microsoft get caught in the geopolitical crossfire. Plus: a deep dive on suspected MAPP leaks and Sharepoint zero-days, Singapore targeted by extremely sophisticated China-nexus hacking group, soft censorship in corporate threat-intel, and whether the U.S. should rethink how it fills its intelligence gaps.

In this episode, Kevin Eikenberry sits down with Paula Davis to discuss the seismic shifts reshaping our workplaces, including the lasting impacts of the pandemic, ongoing debates about hybrid work, generational expectations, and the rise of AI.

This week, we're joined by AJ Gemer of Lunar Outpost, a fast-moving company innovating in cislunar technology. This includes mini-rovers, crewed lunar rovers, and all kinds of instrumentation that will enable lunar exploration, development, and in-situ resource development. AJ talked about the company, their many projects, their relationship with NASA, and the future of lunar exploration and the role of commercial companies moving ahead. Join us!Headlines: Space Burial Goes Awry - A prototype capsule carrying cremated human remains successfully reached orbit but crashed into the Pacific Ocean when its parachute failed to deploy, resulting in an unintended burial at sea for the Celestis payload aboard The Exploration Company's test mission Daytime Fireball Strikes Georgia - A rare bright meteor visible during daylight hours punched through a house roof in Georgia, with meteorite fragments found in the living room; the fireball was tracked at 30,000 mph and may be linked to the Daylight Beta Taurid meteor shower Axiom-4 Mission Success - After multiple delays totaling 28 hours due to ISS issues, the Axiom-4 crew successfully docked with the space station, bringing the first astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary to the ISS, led by veteran commander Peggy Whitson Main Topic: Lunar Outpost's Moon Mobility Solutions Company Overview - Lunar Outpost is pioneering commercial lunar mobility services with rovers of various sizes, positioning itself as the leader in planetary surface mobility from their Colorado headquarters MAPP Rover on Lunar Voyage 1 - Despite the Intuitive Machines lander tipping over, Lunar Outpost's MAPP rover survived the landing and operated for 2.7 hours, validating all key subsystems and achieving TRL 9 status while carrying Nokia's 4G LTE communication system Testing Philosophy - The company emphasizes rapid iteration with multiple rover launches per year rather than traditional single high-value missions every 6-8 years, using Earth analogs, including a 1,000-acre Colorado test facility with statistically representative lunar terrain Eagle LTV Design - Unveiled at Space Symposium, the lunar terrain vehicle features a sci-fi-inspired aesthetic that's both beautiful and functional, developed with partners including General Motors, Goodyear, MDA Space, and Leidos Commercial Applications - The LTV will operate autonomously between Artemis missions, serving commercial customers for payload delivery, sample collection, and infrastructure development, with plans for tens to hundreds of vehicles creating a "work truck for the moon" fleet Upcoming Missions - Lunar Voyage 2 (launching early 2025) will carry NASA-funded science instruments to the lunar equator, followed by additional commercial missions and Australia's first moon rover nicknamed "Roo-ver" HIPPO Rover - A 1,000+ kg mobile ISRU (in-situ resource utilization) processing plant capable of extracting, refining, and compressing lunar resources for storage and transport Mars Aspirations - While focused on the moon, Lunar Outpost sees pathways to Mars operations, noting that the Martian environment is somewhat less challenging than the harsh lunar day-night cycles Team Heritage - AJ Gemer brings experience from multiple planetary These show notes have been truncated due to length.

Today, I'm kicking off something a little different on the show — a mini series exploring the intersection of positive psychology and travel. If you've ever come home from a trip feeling more connected, more curious, more yourself — there's actually science behind that. And over the past year, I've been studying it deeply through my master's at Penn — not just as a travel professional, but as a human who believes that travel can be truly transformative. To launch this series, I'm so honored to welcome one of my mentors and dear friends, Leona Brandwene. Leona is the Associate Director of Education at the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania, where she helps lead the renowned MAPP program. She's also a master teacher, a coach, a mom, and someone who lives and breathes this work in such an authentic and inspiring way. In this conversation, we explain the basics of positive psychology. And then we explore how travel sparks awe, builds agency, strengthens relationships, and helps us find deeper meaning. If you've ever felt that your best self shows up on the road, this episode will give you language, insight, and maybe even a few ideas to bring that feeling into everyday life. Let's dive in.
