New month means new theme with this month's theme being, "A creature was stirring but it wasn't a mouse" with the classic creature feature, 1959's "The Tingler." The Mistress of the Menagerie discusses how the brain processes fear, internal and external fears, and Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Come check it out!

Send us a textIn this episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast, Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson continue their Fundamentals of Wellness series with a deep dive into the third level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs: love and belonging. Together they explore the universal ache for connection, community, and healing felt across society today and ask an essential question: what kind of love and belonging truly nurtures wellness and mental health?Drawing a distinction between the “tsunami of stress” and “rational intimacy,” Tom and Ruth unpack how certain relationships, communities, and affiliations may appear loving and inclusive, yet actually perpetuate stress, trauma, insecurity, and disconnection. In contrast, they describe how authentic love and belonging cultivates safety, security, contentment, and mutual growth — the true foundation for self-actualization, resilience, and wholeness.Listeners will learn how to recognize the signs of false belonging, how to choose pathways that foster genuine wellness, relational health, and homeostasis, and why this choice is central to becoming our truest, healthiest selves.If you've ever wondered whether the spaces you belong to are building you up or holding you back, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and practical insights for personal growth and sustainable wellness.Support the showThanks for listening!You can follow us onFacebook Instagram Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out the Autonomic Healing Website & InnerWorkings WebsiteEmail Tom thomasjpals@innerworkings.orgEmail Ruth ruth@bridgeandrhino.comSupport usWe appreciate you!

Most people do very little strategic thinking about what investments they have or why they have them. They simply follow the herd or a popular investment newsletter that promises huge returns. In this episode I explain why residential rental properties are a cornerstone of my investment strategy and why I recommend you consider them as well. I get into specifically why I support these investments with infinite banking or family banking life insurance policies and show a couple of examples of the financial impact of doing so.   Highlights Why rental properties and hard assets? Impact of overall portfolio on wealth returns. Infinite banking: explanation and personal impact. Lessons from a rural upbringing and stagflation. Navy career and financial wake-up call. Control over money equals reduced risk. Maslow's hierarchy of needs applied to investments. Direct vs. indirect investment risk. Differences between savings and investments. Borrowing against life insurance for investments. Infinite banking's financial advantage demonstration. Differences in returns with infinite banking. Constructing an infinite banking policy. Whole life insurance vs. IUL and its implications. Accessing and contributing flexibility to policies. Scalability and contribution duration in policies.   Links and Resources from this Episode Connect with Gary Pinkerton https://www.paradigmlife.net/  gpinkerton@paradigmlife.net https://garypinkerton.com/  https://clientportal.paradigmlife.net/WealthView360    Review, Subscribe and Share If you like what you hear please leave a review by clicking here   Make sure you're subscribed to the podcast so you get the latest episodes.

En este episodio hablamos de: Idea central La muerte y la conciencia de ella nos orientan hacia lo esencial de la vida. Muchos de nuestros sufrimientos provienen de miedos básicos que, en el fondo, se relacionan con la posibilidad de no sobrevivir o de ser rechazados. ⚖️ Dos grandes miedos 1. ¿Seré capaz? ◦ Miedo ligado a la supervivencia física y económica. ◦ Relacionado con las necesidades fisiológicas y de seguridad (comida, refugio, salud, estabilidad, control). 2. ¿Qué van a decir de mí? ◦ Miedo vinculado al rechazo social y la valoración externa. ◦ Relacionado con las necesidades de amor/pertenencia y de estima (aceptación, prestigio, éxito, reconocimiento). ️ Pirámide de Maslow y los miedos • Fisiológicas: miedo a no tener comida, agua, refugio → miedo a morir. • Seguridad: miedo a guerras, violencia, perder el trabajo, incertidumbre. • Amor y pertenencia: miedo al rechazo, a no encajar, a quedarse solo. • Estima: miedo al fracaso, humillación, ridículo, a no ser valorado. • Autorrealización: más que miedo, aparece el vacío existencial (sensación de falta de sentido). Superación • Vivir con conciencia de la muerte ayuda a romper el bucle del control y el miedo. • La autorrealización da sentido y coloca en orden los demás niveles: ◦ Reduce el miedo a no ser capaz. ◦ Relativiza lo que otros piensen. ◦ Llena de propósito, amor verdadero, compasión y empatía.

Barry Wolfe argues that workplace psychology tools like personality tests and assessments lack scientific validity and don't predict job performance. Instead of relying on psychological profiles, leaders should focus on "value-centric actions" - clearly defining what results employees need to deliver to create business value and advance their careers. TAKEAWAYS Psychology tools are unreliable - Personality tests, competency models, and even Maslow's hierarchy lack empirical support, with IQ predicting job performance at only 0.03 correlation Employees lack clarity - 55% of workers don't know what's expected of them, and most can't answer "What do I need to do to get a raise?" Focus on value creation - Replace psychological assessments with clear definitions of business value and specific deliverables that help employees understand how to succeed A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST Podcast: Transform Your Workplace, sponsored by Xenium HR Host: Brandon Laws In Brandon's own words: “The Transform Your Workplace podcast is your go-to source for the latest workplace trends, big ideas, and time-tested methods straight from the mouths of industry experts and respected thought-leaders.” About Xenium HR Xenium HR is on a mission to transform workplaces by providing expert outsourced HR and payroll services for small and medium-sized businesses.

What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Olga Andrienko, Former VP of Marketing Ops at Semrush. (00:00) - Intro (01:24) - In This Episode (03:55) - How AI Agents Reshape Marketing Ops Roles (08:53) - How To Beat AI Imposter Syndrome And Start Using Custom GPTs (13:28) - How AI Content Agents Generate Drafts Using Internal Context (24:29) - How to Use a Risk and Reward Grid to Prioritize AI Projects (33:19) - How To Use Google Workspace To Skip AI Vendor Approvals (40:00) - How To Decide Which AI Agent to Use (46:44) - How To Build an AI-First Reflex in Marketing Ops (51:59) - AI's Endgame: Play-to-Earn and Mandatory Human Quotas (01:03:58) - What Happens When You Optimize Your Body Like a Martech Stack Summary: Olga thought she was ahead of the AI curve, but a weekend course on autonomous systems showed her she was thinking too small. She pitched a shared internal AI stack at Semrush, built systems off APIs, skipped procurement by using already-approved tools, and tracked hours saved instead of promising vague ROI. She started with the work she already knew, made it faster, and used that time to build better systems. Now she's looking ahead, watching work blur into participation, prepping for human quotas, and making sure ops teams aren't caught off guard while the rest of the company is still testing prompts.About OlgaOlga Andrienko spent nearly 12 years at Semrush, where she helped build one of the strongest B2B marketing brands in tech. She started by leading social media, then expanded into global marketing, eventually becoming VP of Brand and later VP of Marketing Operations. She helped guide the company through its IPO, launched brand campaigns that drove massive reach, and scaled AI systems that saved her teams hundreds of hours. Most recently, she built out a marketing and AI ops function from scratch, automating reporting, content feedback, and influencer analytics across the org. Recently, Olga announced she was leaving Semrush to go out on her own. She's now building a marketing SaaS product while advising companies on how to use AI agents to rethink marketing operations from the inside out.How AI Agents Reshape Marketing Ops RolesOlga had already logged countless hours with Claude and ChatGPT. She was building chatbots, fine-tuning prompts, and staying sharp on every update. Then she joined a weekend course on agent-based AI. At first, it felt like overkill. By the end of day two, she had completely changed direction. That course forced her to realize she had been spending time in the shallow end. Agent AI wasn't just a smarter assistant. It was a structural overhaul. It changed what could be automated and who was needed to do it.Agent AI builds systems instead of just responding to inputs. Olga described a clean divide between tools that help you finish tasks faster and agents that actually run the tasks for you. How agent AI differs from task-level tools:Traditional tools require manual input for each useAgent systems operate autonomously and initiate actionsTools accelerate individual workAgents orchestrate end-to-end processesTools help you move fasterAgents help you step away entirelyShe saw use cases stacking up that didn't fit inside marketing's current playbook. Systems could now operate without manual checkpoints. Processes that once relied on operators could be built into fully autonomous loops.“I went into panic mode. Even with our tech stack at Semrush, I realized we were behind. Every company is behind.”The realization came with a cost model. Internal adoption of Claude and ChatGPT was rising fast. Olga noticed growing subscription bills across teams, with everyone spinning up individual accounts. She ran the numbers and saw the future expense curve. Giving each person their own sandbox didn't scale. What made sense was building shared tools through APIs, designed to solve repeatable tasks. That way you can maintain quality, cut costs, and still give everyone access to powerful AI systems.Timing mattered. Olga was coming off a quarter where she had high visibility, internal trust, and a direct line to leadership. Instead of waiting for AI priorities to come down from the top, she used that leverage to move. She pitched a new team and made the case for shifting from brand to ops. She had technical interest, political capital, and an urgent belief that velocity mattered more than perfection.Key takeaway: Marketing ops leaders are uniquely positioned to build agent-level systems that scale across teams. Instead of waiting for strategy teams to greenlight AI plans, use cost data to make the case for shared infrastructure. Build with APIs, not individual tool access. Push for automation at the system level, not just task-level assistance. If you understand the workflows, know the tools, and already have trust inside the org, you are the one who should be building what comes next.How To Beat AI Imposter Syndrome And Start Using Custom GPTsAI imposter syndrome shows up fast. It tells you the developers will handle it, the data team will figure it out, and you should stick to writing copy or launching campaigns. Olga ignored that voice. She opened up ChatGPT, looked at the most repetitive task on her plate, and started testing. No credentials. No roadmap. Just frustration, curiosity, and a weekend.“Anybody who says they have figured AI out or that they're on top of this, they're lying to you.”She did not wait for a manager to assign her an AI project. She looked for work she already understood. Rewriting vague marketing text. Fixing formatting issues. Translating copy into other languages without sounding robotic. These were not moonshot experiments. They were annoyances. She built a custom GPT for each one.That work gave her traction. It also gave her time back. She found herself reclaiming an hour a day just by handing off the small, repeatable parts of her job. That time opened up new space to build more. The learning came naturally because it was grounded in daily tasks she already owned.“If we look at this like a Maslow pyramid, the repetitive tasks are the base layer. That's where you start.”Confidence grows when the work starts to feel useful. That shift does not come from reading whitepapers or watching LinkedIn demos. It comes from applying the tool to one thing you do every week and watching it cut your time in half. That is how you build fluency. Not all at once. One custom GPT at a time.Key takeaway: Choose a task you already know well and automate it with a custom GPT. Keep the instructions specific and tied to your current workflow. Run it repeatedly until it saves you real time. Then build another. Confidence in AI tools comes from using them to solve work you already understand, not from waiting until you feel qualified.AI Use Cases in Marketing: AI Agents Creating Drafts from Context That Humans PerfectAI content agents are getting better, but they are not off the leash. Olga built two systems to test how far automation can go without turning content into generic filler. One starts with human writers. The other starts with a structured form. Both rely on real performance data, brand knowledge, and experienced editors.The first system runs inside Google Docs. Writers draft copy. The AI overlay scores it using past campaign performance, conversion data, and hand-labeled examples of strong and weak copy. It flags weak headlines, vague CTAs, bloated structure. Then it explains why. Olga's team noticed that when the starting draft is weak, AI only sm...

What if intelligence isn't a fixed score, but a story you get to keep rewriting?If you've ever felt underestimated, overlooked, or boxed in by labels, this episode will help you rise above them and unlock the brilliance within you.Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman was once placed in special education and told he didn't belong in “gifted” programs. Yet today he's one of the most respected cognitive scientists of our time. His journey proves that labels—“broken,” “disabled,” “not smart enough”—don't define your destiny.In this powerful conversation, Scott and I explore how to rethink intelligence, potential, and even Maslow's famous hierarchy. You'll discover why IQ tests miss the most important parts of your mind, how neurodiverse traits like ADHD and dyslexia can be hidden superpowers, and why self-actualization isn't about climbing a pyramid—it's about learning to sail your own ship.By the end, you'll see that your potential is not a number. It's not predetermined. It's a moving target you can expand every day with passion, perseverance, and belief./ / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / /Choose your own adventure.

Asha Sharma leads AI product strategy at Microsoft, where she works with thousands of companies building AI products and has unique visibility into what's working (and what's not) across more than 15,000 startups and enterprises. Before Microsoft, Asha was COO at Instacart, and VP of Product & Engineering at Meta, notably leading product for Messenger.What you'll learn:1. Why we're moving from “product as artifact” to “product as organism” and what this means for builders2. Microsoft's “seasons” planning framework that allows them to adapt quickly in the AI era3. The death of the org chart: how agents are turning hierarchies into task networks and why “the loop, not the lane” is the new organizing principle4. Why post-training will soon see more investment than pre-training—and how to build your own AI moat with fine-tuning5. Her prediction for the “agentic society”—where org charts become work charts and agents outnumber humans in your company6. The three-phase pattern every successful AI company follows (and why most fail at phase one)7. The rise of code-native interfaces and why GUIs might be going the way of the desktop8.

Vandaag bespreken we het boek Het spel van de populist van Bas Erlings. Ondertitel: Hoe zij het spel spelen, hoe wij het winnen. Boek gekregen van Alfabet uitgevers, dank je wel. Geen fijn boek om te lezen voor mij. Ja, de helling naar rechts, fascisten, racisme is verschrikkelijk en ik had het gevoel dat we nooit meer terug wilden naar de tijd van de nazis, maar we glijden die kant op zoals we ook hebben gezien in Over Tirannie Snyder en Krug. Maar het alternatief van het neoliberalisme en de tijd van Rutte is ook niet goed geweest voor de samenleving en de mensen. Rutte wordt neergezet als een goed leider en dat het bijzonder was dat hij zo lang geregeerd heeft, maar als ik kijk naar de resultaten dan heb ik daar een andere mening over. Verder gaat het boek te veel over de verschillen opzoeken, en de strijd aan gaan. Mensen anders wegzetten en polarisatie. Waarom niet het tegenovergestelde, zoeken naar de overeenkomsten in groepen (niet in de politieke leiders, die zoeken het extreme op voor de media). Het boek is voor mij te populistisch geschreven. Nu ik tijdens het bewerken van de opname terugluister kom ik tot de conclusie dat het goed is dat je meer naar Tom luistert in dit gesprek voor een meer gebalanceerde bespreking. Inhoud Inleiding: de kwartfinale tegen het populisme Geef mij nu je angst Apen en milkshakes Het handboek Normaal. Doen. De katalysator van de comeback Superkrachten Inleiding: de kwartfinale tegen het populisme p15 De kloof tussen arm en rijk werd groter…mensen het gevoel dat hun stem niet gehoord werd. Polarisatie nam toe. Politieke midden liep leeg. - Waar de VVD een grote invloed heeft gehad in deze onvrede. Een overzicht hoe in de grote landen in Europa de extreem rechtse partijen steeds meer ruimte krijgen. Wat Erlings niet zegt, dat de oorzaak ligt bij de neoliberalen die de sociale kant steeds verder uitkleden, en de rijken steeds meer macht krijgen en er steeds minder contact is met de gehele samenleving. Mensen als Wilders hebben deze ruimte gekregen omdat de neoliberalen vooral goed voor zichzelf zorgen. 1 Geef mij nu je angst Na de korte uitleg van Maslow (behoefte pyramide) en Deci en Ryan over zelfdeterminatie (autonomie, competentie en verbondenheid) komt Erlings met drie oerbehoeften van mensen (kiezers):  1. Zorgen dat de eigen kleine cirkel veilig en welvarend blijft.  2. Bij de groep horen.  3. Het stap voor stap beter krijgen. Ik vind het een vreemde sprong naar deze oerbehoeften. Voor mij gevoel zijn ze vooral kapitalistisch en minder sociaal. Voor mij is de mens van nature op zoek naar welzijn voor zichzelf en de gemeenschap, ergens bij horen en je kunnen ontwikkelen. Dat is wat anders dan welvarend, een eigen kleine cirkel en beter krijgen. De homo economicus gedachte dat we niet goed genoeg zijn en het beter willen hebben en een kleine cirkel veilig willen maken, is met name ontstaan in de jaren 70/80 en steeds verder doorgevoerd onder het neoliberalisme. Met als resultaat de rijken die een kleine cirkel veilig stellen, individualisme, en consumeren om je beter te voelen. Verder noemt hij het oerinstinct: verdedigen wat van ons is. Zonder enige verwijzing waar dit vandaan komt. p30 Populisten bieden mensen een duidelijke groep om bij te horen. - dat doen alle politieke partijen, en bewegingen. Partij van de Dieren, SP - socialisten. Het verschil is dat de populisten er een vijand bij creëren. Doen neoliberalen ook, overheid, belastingen, regelgeving en vakbonden zijn bijvoorbeeld vijanden. p32 als mensen het gevoel niet meer hebben dat het beste nog voor ze ligt, gaan ze muiten. ?? p34 voor jongen mensen wordt het steeds moeilijker om vooruit te komen?? Op vakantie het kan nog net???? vliegtickets niet meer zo goedkoop??? Zelfs met twee inkomens is het ploeteren??? Dit lijkt me waar voor de onderkant van de samenleving, niet per se voor de jongeren. Ik zie het niet bij mijn kinderen.

In this episode, I introduce you to Leslie P. who lives with her two dogs and has always been a renter.  Leslie was searching for podcasts about organization. It caught Leslie's attention when she heard one of the Monday Connections podcasts when we were talking about subjects related to those things she loves like demographics, sociology, and anthropology.  Leslie was always an organized person but once her mom had passed and she was in the role of executor, she just couldn't get out from under all the paper!  She needed help and was looking for organizational solutions. The year after her mom passed Leslie referred to as the “Year of quiet living.” She stayed in her mom's 55+ community and took time to figure out her next steps as she faced hurdles in NYC. She'd decided to go out on her own and no longer be a W2 employee.  When Leslie decided to move down to Florida and stay with her mom to take care of her, who had cancer, she grabbed most of her stuff and just left. Well all that stuff was up there still waiting for Leslie to deal with. When Leslie finally located some important paperwork under the couch pillows that she'd been looking for, she decided she had to get a system in place.  In the midst of the mess, she created a priority list like Maslow's hierarchy of needs. What was the most important first step. She then started to feel permission to put things in logical places like her socks by the front door. She started to task stack while her dogs were eating so she could do other things in her kitchen. And she now gives herself permission to honor the phase of life she is in which may mean the fact that she'll buy new tools, get rid of things, make mistakes, and allow new permissions. Like keeping two sets of china and hosting the holidays her way. She's also given herself permission to have a personal life outside of working and taking care of her dogs because she also had more free time now. And with systems in place she no longer has a need for a to do list AND she's not forgetting to do things.  Leslie opened the conversation saying she was not the Organize 365® typical demographic. I wanted to dig into that a little. Leslie uncovered how renting an apartment is kinda like PCS'ing. You move more frequently and need to start all over again. What does a day look like again? How is the drive to work? Can you keep the same medical providers? How does errand running look? Coffee shops? And we talked about things about renting like owning a car and having outdoor space. We also talked about cost opportunities and what that means for the quiet middle of society from each person's point of view. We both pointed out things the other had not considered.  Leslie also attended a Planning Day. Leslie had attended plenty of corporate organization/productivity events and they all paled in comparison. She was so impressed with how comprehensive and effective Planning Day was. It's frustrating for Leslie because she wishes she'd known sooner that a lof of people struggle with organization and for a long time she thought it was just her. Now she has less anxiety, perceived anxiety, as well as sleeping better, and has a healthier outlook.  Leslie's advice is, “Listen to Lisa because she is smart.” But all joking aside she added “Give yourself permission. You are the subject matter expert of your family, your life, home, of your goals, and your priorities. You get to decide. Trust yourself.”  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® Planning Day Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  On the Wednesday podcast, I get to talk with members of the Organize 365­® community as they share the challenges, progress, missteps and triumphs along their organizing journey.

In this class series, Rabbi Shmuly will explore the Torah of the mind. We will explore how Jewish thought intersects with modern psychological studies and theories by examining thinkers like Freud, Piaget, Maslow, Frankl, and so many others over 50 interactive sessions. Looking at consciousness, moral reasoning, ego, love, learning, and evil, how can we better understand why humans act as they do? Considering our relationships, traumas, memories, conflicts, and self-esteem, how can reflecting on the deep complexity of our minds help us live more meaningful lives? Further, how might Jewish ethics and Jewish philosophy help us ask not just “how do we live” but “how might we live?” Join us for a deep dive into the collective, individual, and Jewish mind.Attend these classes live over Zoom by becoming a member for just $18 monthly: https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org/become-a-member.------------------Stay Connected with Valley Beit Midrash:• Website: https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ValleyBeitMidrash ★ Support this podcast ★

Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy, folks! My head was jumbled, my body was in a lot of pain, and I wasn't really sure what my next move was after this near-death experience at the beginning of the year -- so I took a bit of a longer, unexpected, and unannounced break. Some of it was out of frustration, a lot of it was out of total exhaustion, and even more of it was rooted in a level of surrender and acceptance. Some real serenity prayer sort of stuff on a very Jungian level, but it was all worth it. I'm feeling pretty damn solid now. Joe Rupe, host of Lighting the Void helps me get into all this, unpacking some of his mental health experiences and some of my recent ones, along with analyzing mental in the fringe spiritual, new age, conspiracy theory and fortean communities. People are always getting into these head-spaces and schools-of-thought for one reason or another, yet so many of them fail to ask themselves what these ideas and beliefs do for them on a daily practical level. People analyzing "real" alien species on internet forums, reading the "latest leaks" from Q, or trying to hex their neighbors are likely not considering the fundamental idea: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Because of this, their mental health usually suffers on a noticeable level. But beyond this, we get deeper into Jungian psychology and the relationship between our inner child and the archetypes of the Great Mother and Father, i.e. the Yin and Yang, et cetera. It's a heavy episode but in many ways it's a celebratory return with great music, some fun shout outs and an awesome guest! Thanks for tuning in, folks -- there's a lot more to come.

Send us a textResilience might be one of the most misunderstood aspects of mental health. Far more than just "bouncing back" or "toughing it out," true resilience is about developing mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility that allows you to adapt when life throws unexpected challenges your way.Have you ever noticed how some people seem to navigate life's difficulties with relative ease while others struggle significantly with similar challenges? The difference often comes down to resilience – and contrary to popular belief, it's not an innate trait but a skill that can be developed through intentional practice.In this deeply practical episode, we break down what mental resilience actually means and provide concrete strategies to help you build this crucial life skill. Drawing from psychological frameworks like Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, we explain why physical well-being forms the foundation of mental resilience. The "big three pillars" – sufficient sleep, mindful nutrition, and regular physical activity – create the physiological conditions necessary for emotional stability and cognitive flexibility.Perhaps most importantly, we emphasize that resilience must be cultivated during good times so it's available during challenging ones. Think of it as developing "mental muscle memory" through consistent practice. Simple techniques like mindfulness exercises (we share a powerful thumb-to-finger exercise that engages both brain hemispheres), deep breathing patterns, and engaging in personally meaningful activities all contribute to stronger resilience.Whether you're currently facing difficulties or simply want to prepare for future challenges, this episode offers valuable insights that can help you develop the mental flexibility needed to navigate life's inevitable ups and downs with greater ease and confidence.

Just a bit.I have the utmost respect for the behavioral science community and its vast contributions—including the many scientists whose work has directly shaped my own.That said, the more I learn about the history of attempts to unify behavioral science (and, by association, psychology)—and then set those challenges alongside the Unified Behavior Model (UBM) as it now exists—formally published (elemental and falsifiable), 500+ downloads later—the more peculiar the entire situation becomes.To be clear: it's only in hindsight that these “obvious” errors and omissions—both in behavioral science (BS) and in its unification efforts—come into focus.Subscribe nowTip #1: Make Sure Only True Insiders Get to PlayWhatever you do, don't approach this unification challenge from the outside.

Why can't women just understand men? Why can't men just understand women? The short answer is, “we're not supposed to.” If we were, we wouldn't really have any need for each other, would we? My guest today, Adam Lane Smith, has made it his life's work to get closer to helping men understand women and help us understand our own natural tendencies in relationships. Today, Adam and I talk about emotional starvation, the concept of CEO/COO between men and women, the ‘red flags' that your marriage is struggling, what men and women do to cause each other pain, and how men can lead in their relationships much more effectively.

On this transformative episode of the “Better Than Fine” podcast, host and wellness coach, Darlene Marshall, helps us rethink everything we know about self-care. Tired of the endless influencer-driven trends, fluffy hashtags, and the message that wellness is something you buy? Darlene takes us back to the roots, uncovering how self-care originated in social justice and chronic illness spaces, and how it became a commodity in recent years. Darlene shares her personal journey with Ehlers Danlos syndrome and explains why real self-care isn't found in supplements or spa days, but in consistently meeting your foundational needs. Using a fresh, evidence-based approach, she introduces the powerful concept of applying systems thinking—typically used in business and design—to your own wellbeing. Discover how habits, routines, and feedback loops can work together to support your physical, emotional, and higher order needs without cognitive overload or decision fatigue. You'll learn why self-care isn't selfish and how it enables you to show up more powerfully for yourself and others. Darlene walks through Maslow's hierarchy of needs with a twist: it's not about climbing a pyramid but sending ripples of positive impact out into the world, starting with the essentials like sleep, nutrition, and boundaries.Packed with practical tips and compassionate insights, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to reclaim self-care from marketing trends and build lasting, meaningful systems for a better, more balanced life.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Joel Benge, a strategist, author, and the mind behind "Message Therapy." With a rich and unconventional background that spans theater, video game testing, cybersecurity, and federal communications, Joel helps technical founders transform complex jargon into messaging that actually connects.Joel unpacks the biggest reason messaging falls flat: it's too cerebral and not nearly human enough. Drawing from Aristotle, Maslow, and his own experience in government and tech startups, Joel introduces frameworks like his “Message Therapy” card deck, a tool that blends psychology, storytelling, and gamification to uncover the true heart of a brand.This episode is packed with actionable insights for founders, product marketers, and anyone tasked with explaining something complicated in a way that actually sticks.If you've ever felt like your messaging doesn't land or sounds like everyone else, this conversation will help you find your voice, and your big idea.TakeawaysJoel Benge coined the term “Message Therapy” to help founders move from brainy jargon to emotionally resonant messaging.People don't want more data — they want their problems taken away.Message Therapy uses Aristotle's head, heart, and gut model to build trust, likability, and clarity.Joel's background in theater and government communications gives him a unique edge in helping technical teams communicate effectively.Gamification (via his card deck) helps teams uncover buried insights through fast-paced, structured prompts.Most messaging fails because it skips emotion and leans too heavily on logic or technical credibility.One simple fix: print your website and highlight content using color codes for logic, emotion, and credibility to visually audit your message mix.Outsourcing marketing too early often leads to generic, disjointed messaging without a narrative backbone.Founders should fall in love with the problem they're solving, not just the product they're building.Creating a shared "mantra" can unify internal teams and external messaging across ICPs and channels.Emotional storytelling is just as important (if not more) in B2B and technical industries.True differentiation comes from listening deeply, reframing language, and uncovering the beliefs and values that drive your company.Chapters00:00 Intro: Meet Joel Benge & Message Therapy01:45 From Theater Kid to Homeland Security Comms04:30 Jargon vs. Real Communication in Tech05:50 The Birth of Message Therapy07:00 Why Most Marketing Sounds the Same08:30 Head, Heart, Gut: The Aristotle Framework10:15 How Gamification Helps Teams Get Aligned12:30 Why Jargon Kills Sales and Clarity14:00 The "Blank Stare" Effect in Messaging17:00 Role Clarity: Be the Peacock or the Expert18:00 Website Fix: Use Highlighters to Audit Copy19:45 The Curse of Knowledge Trap21:00 Why Outsourcing Messaging Can Backfire23:00 The Hidden Power of White Papers25:00 Building a Database of Messaging DNA26:45 Messaging for Multi-Sided Marketplaces28:30 Creating Mantras That Actually Stick29:45 Aha Moments That Unlock the Real Message31:00 Who “Be a Nerd That Talks Good” Is For32:30 Why Joel Created a Card Deck34:00 Personal Advice for Technical Leaders36:00 Sell the Result, Not the Feature38:00 Reclaiming Authority in the Age of AI39:30 Closing Thoughts & Where to Find JoelJoel Benge's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/joelmbengehttps://www.instagram.com/joelmbengehttps://www.tiktok.com/@joelmbengeJoel Benge's Website:https://messagespecs.com/link/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

 was studying an online learning programme from Professor Scott Galloway, where he talked about Appealing To Human Instincts.  His take was from the strategy angle, but I realised that this same framework would be useful for sales too.  In sales we do our best to engage the client.  We try to develop sophisticated questions to help us unearth the stated and unstated needs of the buyer.  Professor Galloway's pedagogical construct can give us another perspective on buyer dynamics. The first Human Instinct nominated was the brain.  This is our logos, our rational, logical, analytical mode.  What are the unanswered questions and key internal conversations occupying the minds of our buyers.  If we can meet the buyer in their thought process, then we are more likely to be able to understand their needs and then be in a position to meet those needs.  We know that some buyers will be analytical types, for whom three decimal places is unremarkable when considering data.  Often though salespeople are big picture. Macro types who shun this level of detail because they feel it is boring.  They love the sale and abhor the paperwork which goes along with it.  I had two insurance salesmen in my home trying to get me to buy various policies.  What astounded me was they were middle aged, well experienced gentlemen and yet they couldn't fill out the paperwork correctly, so we had to do it again.  They loved the conversation with me but not the conversation with the fine print in the contract. The next instinct was the heart.  Our emotions are there for all to see, if the right stimulation is provided. We laugh, cry, get angry, become determined and give up, based around our emotional configuration at any point in the day.  Salespeople walk into a mine field of buyer emotions, with no way of knowing which particular configuration we have bumped into today.  Our job is to gauge as quickly as possible where the buyer is emotionally and how they prefer to communicate at that moment.  We know our tempers once frayed, tend to trigger a supreme impatience with everything.  Woe be tied a salesperson who cannot “kuki wo yomu” or read the air, as we say in Japanese, to understand this client needs another visit on a better day for them. Instinct number three was the gut.  This reminded me of Maslow's hierarchy of needs where survival was at the bottom and became the prism through which information and ideas were judged.  Company buyers are always bound firmly by risk reduction, budget stringencies, cash flow imperatives and fears for the future.  Everyone loves a bargain except salespeople, especially those salespeople who have commissions attached to the sale price.  Value is the only antidote for this price discount swamp fever infecting buyers.  Babbling on about features won't cut it.  Yet amazingly this is the step where many salespeople check out.  They never even attempt to consider scaling the summit. We had better migrate up the value scale and talk about the application of the benefits.   We need to lock in the evidence where this has worked magnificently somewhere else, for this buyer to feel safe that there are precedents.  The fourth instinct was sex appeal.  Buyers want to attract attention to themselves as capable, highly promotable, sexy beasts attracting a lot of favourable accord.  Our role is to make them look like heroes, legends, masters of the universe.  They want to elevate their worth, status and value within the organisation.  “Look at me, I am clever” they want to say. We become their instrument to promote that message by giving them our product or service, which becomes a game changer inside the client company. Salespeople have to be master jugglers, elevating many balls in the air at the same time.  We need to see our buyers in a holistic manner, to fully appreciate the tack we need to take buyer by buyer, because they are all different.  This takes a change in the sales mindset because most salespeople are focused on themselves, their commission, their Beemer upgrade and a thousand other things, which the buyer couldn't care less about.  So next time we sit down with a buyer, we need to make sure we are engaging all of their human instincts and appealing to them from many angles.

Together we discuss Maslow's hierarchy of needs, emphasizing the significance of physiological and psychological needs in achieving self-actualization. The sermon also highlights the dangers of jealousy and the illusion of material abundance, urging listeners to focus on generosity and community support as essential elements of a fulfilling life.

Chip Conley is the founder of Joie de Vivre hotels, the second-largest boutique hotel brand in the world. At age 52, he joined Airbnb as Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy, reporting to CEO Brian Chesky, who was 21 years younger. He earned the title of Airbnb's “Modern Elder” by guiding the young founders on leadership and culture while learning Silicon Valley's tech mindset himself. Today, Chip leads the Modern Elder Academy, the world's first midlife wisdom school, and is the author of best-selling books like Wisdom@Work and Peak. He champions the idea that age and experience are assets—and that midlife can be a launchpad for renewed purpose and impact.In this conversation, we discuss:1. The reality of Brian Chesky in “founder mode”—the good, bad, and stressful2. How Chip went from running 52 boutique hotels to becoming Airbnb's in-house mentor in his 50s3. The “mentor and intern” mindset: how to simultaneously teach others and stay curious like a beginner4. Why AI might actually favor older workers (hint: human wisdom vs. artificial intelligence)5. His framework for navigating midlife transitions and finding meaning after 406. Specific tactics for older professionals to thrive in tech companies7. Surprising data that midlife is often the happiest time of life—and how to leverage your 40s, 50s, and beyond8.

She's here to call out ego, expose the rot, and torch the outdated crap that's still infecting your company culture.This isn't inspiration. It's demolition.Sherilyn Shackell, founder of The Marketing Academy, joins Dave and Debbie for a blisteringly honest episode about what leadership actually looks like in 2025 and why most of what we've been taught is a flaming pile of outdated nonsense.She's lived the burnout, dodged the bullshit, and built one of the most respected leadership academies in the world by doing the exact opposite of what corporate culture preaches.Why listen to this episode From generational shifts to AI to emotional intelligence to calling out “successful” leaders who are just skilled narcissists this is the leadership detox your brain didn't know it needed.You're tired of pretending Maslow still appliesYou've been taught to lead through fear, and it's not workingYou're leading a team that doesn't care about status, titles, or your 16-hour grindsetYou know leadership training is broken but you don't know what should replace itYou're ready to be a good human first and a great leader second-----------------------------------------------------------Mic drop moments “We were led badly. And badly led people go on to lead people badly.”The cycle continues unless you break it.“Maslow is 70 years old.

It's a red flag.”Congrats on running yourself into the ground. Nobody's clapping.“People don't need managers. They need someone worth following.”If you're managing more than you're modeling, step aside.“AI won't break the world. Shit leaders using AI will.”It's not the tool. It's the hands holding it.“Intentionality isn't saying the right thing. It's being the right thing even when no one's watching.”Your culture is built by what you tolerate, not what you tweet.“The second you get power, you speak through a megaphone. Be careful what comes out.”You're louder than you think. Act like it.“Don't be a dick. And always help someone else succeed.”Leadership. Decoded in 12 words or less.

Founders these days are building businesses for different reasons. Many of us have our basic needs met, according to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, which provides a unique opportunity in time to build things that reach closer to self-actualization. And yet, the goals remains the same: grow or get profitable. Caroline Grace, Founder of Product & Prosper and retail expert, joins us on this episode of The Longer Game to share how there is nothing new under the sun but how the flavors of businesses are changing. She helps us dispel the myths of retail, like greater distribution means greater sales and profitability. The reality? It doesn't instantly create those things and often just adds more complexity to your current business model. Most brands that launch in retail aren't profitable for 18-24 months at minimum.

"Your psychology is everything. The way you interpret events matters more than the events themselves."These powerful words from licensed clinical social worker Yuri Mello capture the essence of a transformative approach to parenting teenagers. As a father of five and co-founder of School Pulse, Mello brings decades of clinical experience and personal wisdom to the challenging landscape of parent-teen relationships.Most parents find themselves stuck in reactive patterns, responding to each crisis as it emerges rather than building the foundation for lasting connection. Mello introduces a revolutionary framework that distinguishes between "inviting" positive outcomes and "provoking" resistance in our interactions with teens. This simple but profound shift in approach can transform even the most strained parent-teen dynamics.At the heart of Mello's approach is the "positive interaction ratio" - maintaining at least three positive moments for every challenging conversation. Our brains are wired to remember negative experiences more vividly than positive ones, which means parents must intentionally create an abundance of positive interactions to balance the inevitable difficult moments. When this ratio flips negative, relationships deteriorate rapidly.Mello reimagines Maslow's hierarchy of needs for parenting, placing emotional safety at the foundation, followed by trust, kindness, and only then accountability. Too many parents invert this pyramid, focusing primarily on discipline while neglecting the relationship layers that make discipline effective. Through practical examples and vulnerable personal stories, Mello demonstrates how parents can position themselves to be among the first people their teens turn to in times of need.The conversation also explores School Pulse, an innovative program delivering positive psychology content directly to students via text messages and videos, creating pathways for support before crises occur. This proactive approach represents the future of mental health support for young people.Listen now to discover practical strategies for maintaining connection during the turbulent teen years and building relationships that will last a lifetime. Your approach to parenting challenges today shapes not just your child's behavior, but who they become and how they'll relate to you for decades to come.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    What do you love the most? A certain type of food? Your spouses hips or lips? Your job? The money you make? Your biceps? Your ministry? Your 1953 corvette? Your brand-new Mercedes? Your girlfriend? Alcohol? Drugs? Your phone?  Or maybe it is far worse than that? Maybe you are in love with…. Thats where we are going today!   What are you in love with… a lot of answers come to mind… but I believe they all stem from one basic foundation. We love to be approved by others. We love others approval. And we are willing to do just about anything to get it.    The approval of other people is so important to most because it's deeply rooted in fundamental human psychological and evolutionary needs. Here's a breakdown of the key reasons: 1. Evolutionary and Survival Instincts: Historical Necessity: For much of human history, belonging to a group or tribe was essential for survival. Being accepted meant access to resources, protection from threats, and the ability to find a mate and raise offspring. Rejection from the group could be a death sentence. This deep-seated fear of rejection and need for acceptance has been passed down through generations. Social Connection: Humans are inherently social creatures. Our brains are wired for connection, and social interaction plays a crucial role in our well-being. Approval from others reinforces our sense of belonging and validates our place within a community. 2. Psychological Needs: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: The need for belongingness and love, and then esteem, are fundamental human needs in Maslow's hierarchy, ranking above basic physiological and safety needs. Approval from others contributes directly to these levels, making us feel loved, accepted, and valued. Self-Esteem and Self-Worth: For many, external validation acts as a mirror, reflecting back a sense of their own worth. When we receive approval, compliments, or praise, it can boost our confidence and reaffirm our abilities. Conversely, a lack of approval or criticism can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. Fear of Rejection and Judgment: This is a powerful motivator. Many people seek approval to avoid the pain of being rejected, criticized, or judged. This fear can stem from childhood experiences where acceptance felt conditional. Dopamine Release: Receiving external validation, like likes on social media or compliments, can trigger the release of dopamine, a "feel-good" neurotransmitter in the brain. This creates a temporary sense of pleasure and satisfaction, which can lead to a desire to repeat behaviors that elicit this response. Social Comparison: We often compare ourselves to others to gauge our own performance, appearance, and social standing. Seeking approval can be a way to ensure we measure up favorably in these comparisons. 3. Childhood Experiences: Early Conditioning: Our early experiences, particularly with caregivers, heavily influence our need for approval. Children who receive consistent approval and validation tend to develop a stronger internal sense of self-worth. Those who experience neglect, criticism, or conditional acceptance may grow up with a persistent need for external validation. Learning Behavior: As children, we naturally look to our parents for recognition and validation when we accomplish something. This teaches us that external feedback is a way to understand if we've done "a good thing." 4. Societal and Cultural Factors: Social Norms: Society often has unspoken rules and expectations. Conforming to these norms can lead to increased social acceptance. Deviating from them can result in social exclusion. Social Media: The digital age has intensified the pursuit of approval. Platforms that revolve around "likes," "shares," and comments provide constant opportunities for external validation, which can become addictive and lead to an unhealthy reliance on others' opinions for self-worth.   Botton line is this - you seek peoples approval because you don't know you you have Gods approval.  Look one of my favorite memories is competing as a powerlifter and pulling 670 in Masters division one - it was a grind… drug free, no suit, just me and the iron - and when I was done I had Donnie Thompson who was at the judges table taking numbers call me over and tell me that it was a great lift. Donnie thompson is on the mount Rushmore of powerlifters. The first one ever to hit a 3000 pound total. When he says Great lift - it doens't really matter what anyone else thinks. He is the king of powerlifting. Well we serve another king who is the King of the world, the universe… and when we know we have his approval - nothing else matters.  Galatians 1:10 Obviously, I'm not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ's servant. OOOHhhhh this is sooo good. Did you catch it? You serve the one who's approval you seek. So whomever you are hoping to be approved by - you will do whatever it takes to show them you are their servant. The world loves suckers like you.  I live my life on one simple rule… If I know my relationship with God is good… then I don't give two cats meows about what anyone else thinks about me, what I do, what I say, where I go, what I believe in, what I stand for or what I preach or post on social media. I don't care - because God approves of me.  How do you know God approves of you? Well you don't earn it. You don't have to be special, you don't have to be good enough… you simply trust in his grace and his work on the cross. And here is the real secret, when you know you have Gods approval, you are free to be exactly who he created you to be.

Winning the goal medal isn't great because of the medal itself.  The greatness lies in the person you become, the one meant to make a difference in the lives of others, the one who sacrificed themselves to learn and grow and become someone they never knew they could become. This is just a small tidbit of the great stuff in this chapter.

In this episode, Caitlin takes a flamethrower to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the capitalist grind that keeps us from self-actualizing. They unpack the ways hustle culture, capitalism, and patriarchal conditioning have taught us to earn joy, rest, and creativity—when in reality, it's our birthright!

This week-ahead reading for June 30-July 6, 2025 is an excerpt from today's ⁠Somatic Space class⁠ with Renee Sills. For the full-length forecast and embodied practice for this week, ⁠purchase the recording here⁠.***This week's somatic score is inspired by the Cancer/Capricorn axis and Wednesday's first quarter moon in Libra. I'd love to know how you feel the lunar rhythms and what they inspire for you. If you care to share, please leave a comment!And please take good care out there this week as the 4th of July and holiday weekend approach. Friday's astrology looks pretty wild, with a Venus/Uranus conjunction at Taurus' anaretic degree, Venus' entry into Gemini and Neptune's station retrograde. It also looks like a moment when lots of people are experiencing a cultural revolution and exciting collective shift of values. My prayer is that the ways we move, breathe, share and participate with one another become saturated by venusian sensibilities, and that we find new ways to care for our own and other's sensitivities with firm softness and liberatory traditions. I shared today about the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, which was formed on the foundation of the Great Law of Peace. This week especially, let's uplift these origins that influenced and inspired the Declaration of Independence  and remember/re-imagine what democracy can feel like. These ideas resonate strongly with last week's conversation about the Siksikaw beliefs/perspective that informed Maslow's hierarchy of needs.***
