You know how they say "what happens in Bali stays in Bali"? Yeah… not so much. Mine came home with me in the form of hives, food reactions, and what I now call my PhD in histamine. In this episode, I'm sharing the wild story of how a little post-Bali "food poisoning" turned into a full-blown case of histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome. Think: red blotches, racing heart, and me Googling every bite before eating it. I'll walk you through the chaos of misdiagnosis, the "aha!" moment when we figured out it was actually Scombroid poisoning (yes, that's a real thing from bad fish), and how that set off my body's over-zealous histamine fireworks show. But this isn't a doom-and-gloom story. I'll share how I calmed the storm, what I learned about histamine-rich foods (spoiler: your healthy leftovers might be the problem), and the surprising tools that helped me reset my system. Plus, I'm breaking down why this matters for midlife women right now—because those symptoms you're blaming on menopause? The flushing, anxiety after eating, sudden food sensitivities? They might actually be your mast cells stuck in overdrive. And no, you're not crazy for thinking your body suddenly hates everything you eat. If you've ever had mysterious rashes, heart palpitations after chicken (yes, chicken!), or just want to understand what the heck histamine and mast cells actually do, you're going to love this one. It's part detective story, part midlife meltdown, and a whole lot of "what just happened to my body?!" I'm also sharing the exact protocol that finally worked (including why I ended up saying yes to a steroid after swearing I'd go all-natural), which foods to avoid when your histamine bucket is overflowing, and why becoming your own health detective might be the most important skill you develop in midlife.   Thank you to our show sponsors!

Finding an analytical CRO that's truly invested in your success, not just processing samples, makes all the difference in CMC development. In this episode, host David Brühlmann talks with Daniel Galbraith, Chief Scientific Officer at Solvias, about the essential questions and mindset that lead to breakthrough CRO partnerships.With nearly three decades in analytical development, spanning monoclonal antibodies, biosimilars, and cell and gene therapies, Daniel reveals what separates CROs who become true partners from those who just run methods. His insights can save your program months of delays and costly missteps.Key Topics Discussed:Why cell and gene therapies face unique challenges compared to the progression seen with monoclonal antibodies (03:04)Daniel's career path: from entering biotech in 1996 to CSO at Solvias, and the rapid evolution of the industry (05:00)The analytical hurdles in characterizing cell-based products and how their inherent variability impacts development (09:46)Approaches to analytical method requirements for autologous cell therapies, and how data is gathered iteratively in these cases (13:02)The biggest obstacles to scaling up cell and gene therapies, and why innovative cell manipulation technologies are needed (16:06)Current trends in therapeutic modalities: why antibody-drug conjugates stand out, and whether mRNA therapies are losing momentum (18:37)Practical advice on choosing an analytical CRO as a strategic partner - what to look for, what questions to ask, and why enthusiasm and standardization matter (21:55)Wondering how to streamline your own analytical strategy, or navigate the parallel universe of cell and gene therapy development?

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My guest: James Clear is the author of one of the most influential books of our generation, Atomic Habits. He's sold over 25 million copies worldwide and has helped millions of people transform their lives through the power of small changes. We brought the podcast to the campus of Ohio University, where we recorded live in front of 250 of the most impressive college students I've ever met. Notes: I loved the Morgan Housel moment - It was cool to see James' reaction to it (you can watch it on YouTube.com/RyanHawk). Morgan said, "I have absolutely not a single cell of envy for him. Because he is the nicest guy you will ever meet. You will not meet a nicer human than James Clear. You will not meet someone as successful as he is and as humble as he is. He is a saint in my life. And because of that, I adore every bit of this guy, so I cannot envy him. I am just inspired by his success, full stop." We should all strive to be that for the people in our lives. Your WHO - "Every opportunity in life comes through a person. Relationships are usually the most important thing. If you want to achieve more, there is a relationship that can unlock better results. If you want to make a meaningful contribution, helping others is a great way to do it. If you sim Willpower – 'People with tremendous self-control aren't that different from those who struggle. They're simply better at structuring their lives in a way that doesn't require heroic willpower.' It's not about determination, it's about design. That's liberating. Fall in Love with the Process - "When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don't have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. You can be satisfied anytime your system is running. And a system can be successful in many different forms, not just the one you first envision." Make It Obvious, Easy, Attractive, Satisfying - The four laws of behavior change: make good habits obvious and bad habits invisible, make good habits easy and bad habits difficult, make good habits attractive and bad habits unattractive, make good habits satisfying and bad habits unsatisfying. Use the Two-Minute Rule - Scale any habit down to something that takes two minutes or less. Want to read more? Read one page. Want to run a marathon? Put on your running shoes. The goal is to master showing up and make the entry point as easy as possible. Standardize Before You Optimize - You can't improve a habit that doesn't exist. Master the art of showing up before worrying about optimization. Build consistency first, then work on increasing the dose or improving performance. Track Your Habits Visually - I use a paper clip strategy: start each day with 120 paper clips in one jar, move one to another jar each time I complete a writing session. Visual tracking provides clear evidence of progress and makes the habit satisfying. Habits Need to Match Your Personality - There's no one-size-fits-all approach. Morning people and night owls need different strategies. Work with your natural tendencies, not against them. Choose habits and contexts that align with who you already are. Create Commitment Devices - Make bad habits difficult through commitment devices. I had my assistant change my social media passwords every Monday and only give them back on Fridays. This eliminated mindless scrolling during my productive work hours. Focus on Systems, Not Goals - Winners and losers have the same goals. The difference is their systems. Goals are about the results you want to achieve; systems are about the processes that lead to those results. Fall in love with the process, not the outcome. Build Habits That Align With Your Desired Identity - I wanted to be a writer, so I wrote every Monday and Thursday for years. Eventually, I had proof. I couldn't deny I was a writer because of the body of work I'd created. Your habits are how you embody your identity. The Plateau of Latent Potential - We expect progress to be linear, but it's not. Habits often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold. You need to persist long enough to get through the plateau and break through to the other side. Reduce Friction for Good Habits - I want to work out more, so I lay out my workout clothes the night before. When I wake up, they're the first thing I see. The easier you make the habit, the more likely you are to do it. Increase Friction for Bad Habits - Want to watch less TV? Unplug it after each use and put the remote in another room. The added friction makes the bad habit less appealing and gives you a moment to make a better choice. Automate Good Decisions - Technology can lock in good behavior. I set up automatic transfers to my investment account. Once the system is in place, the good behavior happens without requiring willpower or decision-making energy. Student Questions  On Building Habits in College - The mess of college is actually useful because you're forced to figure out who you are. Use this time to experiment with different habits and see what sticks. You have more flexibility now than you will later in life. On Breaking Bad Habits - Trying to eliminate a bad habit without replacing it with something else is really hard. The more sustainable approach is habit substitution. If you want to stop scrolling social media, replace it with reading for five minutes instead. On Staying Consistent - Never miss twice. Missing once is an accident; missing twice is the start of a new habit. Elite performers aren't consistent because they're more disciplined—they have better strategies for getting back on track quickly when life happens. On Finding Your Purpose - I think the idea of finding your purpose is misleading. You don't find your purpose; you build it through the habits you practice daily. Your life is essentially a collection of your habits, so if you want a different life, build different habits. On Overcoming Setbacks - After my accident, I had to redefine what success looked like. Sometimes progress means recovering what you lost rather than reaching new heights. Focus on what you can control today rather than what you wish you could control. On Reading and Learning - I read across many disciplines because insights often come from connecting ideas from different fields. Read widely, take notes, and revisit those notes regularly. The goal isn't to finish books—it's to find ideas that change how you think. On Building a Writing Practice - I published twice per week for years before anything took off. Most people overestimate what they can accomplish in one year and underestimate what they can accomplish in ten years. Show up consistently and let time do the heavy lifting. Reflection Questions Are you focused on achieving goals or building systems? What's one process you could improve this week that would make your desired outcomes more likely? What's one habit you want to build? Can you make it so easy that you can't say no—something that takes two minutes or less? How can you design your environment to make this habit obvious and attractive? Which of your current habits align with the identity you want to build? What small votes can you cast today through your actions to prove to yourself who you want to become?

What if the secret to making better decisions isn't about being right, but about trusting yourself to handle whatever happens next? This week on The Sales Maven Show, Nikki Rausch talks with Danielle Baily, an efficiency and implementation consultant, Lean Six Sigma black belt, and consulting hypnotist who helps business owners find confidence through clarity and structure. Together, they explore how learning to trust yourself can transform the way you make decisions in business and life. Danielle shares how chasing the "right" decision often leads to stress, self-doubt, and overthinking. Instead, she focuses on what's useful in the moment. She explains how identity, fear of judgment, and outside expectations can make choices harder, and how separating who you are from the results you get can make decision-making easier. Her "knee-jerk no" strategy is a simple but powerful way to create boundaries and make sure every yes aligns with your long-term goals. The conversation also dives into decision fatigue and practical ways to prevent it. Danielle and Nikki discuss batching simple tasks, building consistent routines, and keeping your circle of advisors small so you can stay focused. They remind listeners that you don't need every answer before you act. Confidence grows when you make a choice, learn from it, and give yourself permission to adjust along the way. If you've ever found yourself frozen by indecision or stuck waiting for the perfect moment, this episode will help you trust yourself, simplify your process, and take the next step forward. Actionable Takeaways: Batch everyday decisions like meals, outfits, or your calendar to protect mental energy. Use the "knee-jerk no" method to ensure your yes truly matches your goals. Detach your identity from the outcome and focus on what's most useful in the moment. Allow yourself to pivot when new information appears. Keep your circle of input small to avoid confusion and delay.

Nick Cawthon strongly advocates for organizations to take a deliberate, structured approach when adopting AI—especially within UX and product design teams. He warns against the pitfalls of simply providing sophisticated tools without proper onboarding or contextual support. Without collaborative training, mentorship, and transparent change management, teams can become frustrated and fail to realize the true value that AI can bring to their workflows. It's not enough to enable access to AI; real progress happens only when organizations create the infrastructure for learning, experimentation, and the normalization of using new technologies as a collective effort. Central to Nick's philosophy is the need for tailored training—models should be developed with context-specific workflows and guided error analysis so that generative tools quickly learn and adapt to the nuances of each organization. This customization ensures that AI delivers meaningful efficiency gains instead of becoming another source of friction. Nick believes that empowering individuals in this way, rather than forcing blind reliance on out-of-the-box automation, is the key to sustainable digital transformation and organizational resilience. To help UX and product design teams navigate this shift, Nick has developed a specialized AI adoption readiness assessment that identifies strengths and areas for growth. He invites organizations and individuals to ensure their teams are fully prepared for the future by using their assessment tool. Take the survey and discover actionable insights and a clear path to upskill, adapt, and lead in a rapidly changing digital era.

Seventy percent of kids quit sports before age 13. Despite youth sports being a $40 billion industry, the more parents spend, the less kids enjoy it. The “youth sports industrial complex” is failing to deliver on its promises, and Christian fathers in particular have a crucial role to play in changing that story.That's why veteran sports ministers Brian Smith and Ed Usyznski wrote Away Game: A Christian Parent's Guide to Navigating Youth Sports. With over 50 combined years in sports ministry, multiple theological degrees, and decades discipling athletes at every level, they are the most trusted voices speaking biblically into this issue today.Instead of treating youth sports as performance-driven pressure cookers, Away Game reframes them as opportunities for discipleship. Every practice, game, and car ride home becomes a chance to connect sports emotions, joy, disappointment, competition, teamwork, to spiritual formation.This book equips men and fathers to: Lead their homes with a biblical vision for sports. Leverage athletics as a training ground for humility, gratitude, and resilience. Turn the car ride home into discipleship instead of conflict. Resist toxic sports culture by modeling kingdom values.

Could your racing thoughts and underlying anxiety be causing your mysterious hives, heart palpitations, and unexplained allergic reactions? After my own shocking hive outbreak following surgery and Bali belly, I dove deep into the world of histamine and mast cells. Dr. Jessica Peatross, the MD who's become known as the "surgeon of figuring out what's really going on," reveals why your nervous system might be the hidden trigger behind your mystery symptoms. She explains why midlife women suddenly develop histamine issues out of nowhere, the shocking connection between anxiety and mast cell activation, and why your body might be pushing toxins out through your skin when it can't eliminate them normally. We dive into game-changing protocols including specific binders that act like sponges for excess histamine, why addressing your gut is non-negotiable, and how a simple dissolving strip might calm your overactive mast cells. Dr. Jess shares her "magic trick" binder protocol, explains which supplements actually work for mast cell stabilization, and reveals why treating the nervous system FIRST is crucial for any healing protocol to work. Whether you're dealing with unexplained hives, chronic inflammation, or mystery symptoms that appeared out of nowhere, this conversation will change everything you thought you knew about histamine and healing.

Summary In this episode of the Conquer Athlete podcast, Ryan Bucciantini and Jason Leydon discuss the concept of progressive overload in training, particularly within the context of CrossFit. They explore how progressive overload extends beyond simply adding weight to exercises, emphasizing the importance of various training stimuli and the need for coaches to understand their athletes' goals. The conversation also touches on the significance of managing variability in training programs and the necessity of a structured approach to achieve desired adaptations. The episode concludes with an announcement about their mentorship program.   Takeaways Progressive overload is not just about adding weight. Coaches should focus on specific stimuli to improve athlete performance. Managing variability in training is crucial for tracking progress. Understanding an athlete's goals is essential for effective coaching. Progressive overload can include factors like duration, tempo, and complexity.

Is everyone around you planning dream retirements while you're wondering if you'll be working forever? If you're lying awake at night worried about finances, feeling like you're the only one who didn't figure out this money thing, you're not alone, and this episode is your wake-up call + your action plan rolled into one. I invited my friend, an accomplished investor and financial savvy expert, Bret Johnson to share the exact strategies he used to transform his financial future later in life. From being behind the eight-ball to traveling abundantly and living without money stress, Bret breaks down the no-BS approach to building wealth when you think it's too late. We dive into the uncomfortable truths about why you're behind (spoiler: you were living life while others were investing), the simple 5-15% rule that changes everything, and why index funds might be your secret weapon for catching up fast. He discusses practical strategies for paying off debt, investing wisely, and building wealth, even if you feel you've started late. From addressing common concerns about feeling financially stuck to providing actionable steps you can take today, Bret's advice is invaluable. Plus, he shares his "stocks are on sale" mindset that transformed market crashes from disasters into opportunities. Whether you're starting from zero or trying to accelerate what you've already begun, this conversation delivers the practical steps, mindset shifts, and resources you need to stop worrying and start building the retirement you deserve.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Bret Johnson:    Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/bretjohnson11 Website ➜ https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheChaleneShow   Thank you to our show sponsors!

"All those little intangibles that are so nuanced, the great storytellers can put themselves physically and emotionally back in the story and bring you with them, and then somehow bring it back to you.” If you've ever felt like your life isn't interesting enough for the stage, Katie Quesada is here to change your mind. On this episode of The Speaker Lab, Katie and Grant Baldwin unpack what really makes stories memorable. Instead of rehashing a list of personal events, Katie encourages speakers to choose moments that spark connection. For example, she doesn't just share about living in an RV; she asks audiences, “Have you ever craved simplicity?” Suddenly, everyone relates.Her simple storytelling framework uses the Three Cs:Context: Set the scene, but skip the extra details. Give just enough info so listeners can picture what's happening.Conflict: Don't shy away from what was hard or scary. This is where real connection happens.Conclusion: Don't just wrap up with your own win. End on shared values, so the audience sees themselves in the story.Katie's practical advice is to test stories at dinner parties, coffee shops, or wherever you chat with friends. Notice what gets a reaction, and refine as you go. She recommends keeping a running note of story ideas and even using AI tools like ChatGPT to help organize and edit your thoughts. And when it comes to humor, focus on levity. You don't need punchlines; just offer moments for your audience to breathe and relate. You don't need a dramatic life event. Look for everyday moments that mean something, keep your stories concise, and always connect back to your listener!You'll learn:Creating shared meaning with the audienceDifferences between personal stories, borrowed anecdotes, and historical narrativesCutting unnecessary details from your speakingBalancing struggles with authenticityMoving from moments to meaningEmotional resonance as the driver of behavioral changePracticing energy, expressiveness, and nuanced deliveryAnd much, much more!“Authenticity is going to be what cuts the noise of becoming a stereotype, especially in the speaking space.”Episode ResourcesKatie's WebsiteGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
