Podcasts about measuring

Drawing from nearly two decades of coaching experience, I break down five universal principles I've consistently seen in individuals who actually follow through on their goals. This conversation moves beyond generic goal-setting frameworks and focuses on identity, momentum, decision-making, and psychological resilience. Topics discussed: - Why resolutions fail- Taking imperfect action- Momentum and follow-through- Measuring progress backward- Managing negative self-talk- Mistakes versus identity- Sustainable goal execution ---------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.metabolismschool.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Series⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- Stay Connected: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: SamMillerScience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Stop billing. Start thrilling.Gear Up for Growth With Jean CaragherFor CPA Trendlines In a re-energizing episode of Gear Up for Growth, Paul Dunn makes the case that the billable hour isn't just outdated—it's holding firms back. The four-time TEDx speaker and cofounder of B1G1 challenges accounting leaders to rethink how success is measured and to lead with purpose, not punch clocks.  Gear Up for Growth spotlights the best strategies for smart and efficient growth in today's competitive landscape. More Gear Up for Growth here | More Jean Caragher here | Get her best-selling handbook, The 90-Day Marketing Plan for CPA Firms, here | More CPA Trendlines videos and podcasts here Talking with host Jean Caragher, Dunn reframes the profession's obsession with time as a distraction from what clients actually value. “It's not about the inputs,” he says. “It's about the outcomes.” When firms anchor their work to results—and to the human impact behind those results—growth follows naturally.More than two decades after coauthoring "The Firm of the Future," Dunn remains a vocal critic of six-minute increments. While some firms are inching toward value pricing and advisory-led models, he argues the real shift requires courage. Measuring work by time, he notes, is “the opposite of human flourishing.” Measuring by impact, on the other hand, elevates both clients and teams.Originally published May 2025

SummaryIn this episode of the Text-Driven Podcast, Timothy Pigg and Carter Jurkovich discuss the impact of the digital church on the gospel and ministry. They explore the concept of commodification, where the gospel is treated as a common product rather than a sacred message. The conversation delves into the dangers of diluting the gospel to attract viewers and the importance of measuring ministry impact beyond mere likes and views. They encourage pastors to seek biblical examples in their practices and to focus on building faithful ministries that produce genuine fruit for the kingdom of God.TakeawaysThe digital church has commodified the gospel, making it common.Evangelism disconnected from the local church is ineffective.The gospel's dilution leads to a focus on self-improvement rather than sin.Measuring ministry success by likes and views is misleading.Genuine conversions require follow-up and community.The local church is essential for discipleship and growth.Pastors should seek biblical precedence for their ministry practices.The gospel should not be treated like a product on a shelf.Faithfulness in ministry is more important than popularity.Real fruit for the kingdom comes from faithful ministry.Sound bites"The gospel has become common like ketchup.""Jesus does not gauge success on likes.""Turn off your live stream on Sunday."Chapters00:00 Introduction to Text-Driven Podcast01:48 New Resources for Living Wisely02:48 The Digital Church and Its Impact03:40 Understanding Commodification of the Gospel06:46 The Commonness of the Gospel in Digital Spaces09:41 The Danger of a Diluted Gospel12:44 Measuring Ministry Impact in the Digital Age17:12 Encouragement for Pastors and Ministry LeadersText-Driven Resources LinksTEXT-DRIVEN WOMENApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/text-driven-women/id1638626764Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/39bprfuuuoBdiu3qpbNbSSTEXT-DRIVEN PODCASTApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/text-driven-podcast/id1558036179Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/58S8Z1wSnubt8AVFkH3e1kTEXT-DRIVEN BIBLE STUDIESThe Book of Philippians (Text-Driven Bible Study) (Text-Driven Bible Studies) https://a.co/d/1oypSB7Foundations: Genesis 1-11: Text-Driven Bible Study (Text-Driven Bible Studies) https://a.co/d/b77kWZAThe Book of Titus: Text-Driven Bible Study (Text-Driven Bible Studies) https://a.co/d/4RAQaalThe Seven Churches of Revelation: Revelation 1-5 (January 2026)CHURCH/FAMILY RESOURCESThe Local Church Matters https://a.co/d/5HNqbiQThe Seven Characteristics of a Text-Driven Woman (April 2026)Text-Driven Evangelism (January 2026)DEVOTIONALKnowing Jesus at Christmas: A 25-Day Devotional through the Gospel of Luke https://a.co/d/6YMm0a9Text-Driven Wisdom: A 31-Day Devotional through Proverbs https://a.co/d/17UC6jt

Natalia Curusi: Measuring What Matters Beyond Velocity and Story Points Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "We as Scrum Masters need to put a scope for ourselves—we need to aim to leave the place where we work a little bit better than it was, and to make sure that this place could improve itself without us." - Natalia Curusi   Natalia defines success for Scrum Masters with crystal clarity: leave the organization better than you found it, and ensure it can continue improving when you're gone. This means fostering independence and ownership in teams so they can perform whether you're on vacation, in another meeting, or have moved to coaching other teams.  The opposite pattern—where everything falls apart when the Scrum Master isn't present—reveals someone who hasn't truly succeeded in the role. Natalia also emphasizes the importance of establishing metrics early, but not the traditional ones.  Using velocity as a metric is an anti-pattern that focuses teams on the wrong outcomes. Instead, she recommends metrics like predictability, team morale, psychological safety measured through 360 feedback, and the quality of conversations both within teams and with stakeholders. But metrics alone don't tell the story.  Natalia champions the concept of Gemba walks—going to see what's actually happening, talking to people, observing the reality rather than just reviewing dashboard numbers. Some metrics are easily gamed, others provide only narrow perspectives on reality. The most important practice is using metrics to trigger reflection and adaptation, not as fixed targets. Natalia believes strongly that the quality of conversations—how teams discuss options, make decisions together, and adapt when facing pressure—reveals more about a Scrum Master's success than any velocity chart ever could. The ultimate question: can your team succeed without you?   Self-reflection Question: If you disappeared from your team tomorrow, would they continue improving, or would progress stop until someone replaced you? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Spotify Squad Health Check "This is a multidimensional retro that I run with teams every 2 to 3 months—you need around 30 minutes for it, and I often get insights and new ideas from this retrospective that help me as a Scrum Master." - Natalia Curusi   The Spotify Squad Health Check is Natalia's favorite retrospective format because it provides a comprehensive view of team health across multiple dimensions. Unlike traditional retrospectives that might focus on a single sprint or specific issue, this format examines the team's overall state across areas like teamwork, support, mission clarity, and technical quality. Teams rate themselves on various health indicators, creating a visual representation that reveals patterns over time.  What makes this particularly valuable is that it works whether you know the team well or are just starting with them—either way, you gain insights and "aha moments" about where the team truly stands. The multidimensional nature prevents teams from optimizing just one aspect while neglecting others, and the regular cadence (every 2-3 months) allows you to track trends and celebrate improvements.  For Natalia, this format consistently surfaces the hidden challenges that teams might not raise in regular retrospectives, making it an essential tool in her Scrum Master toolkit.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

In one of the most popular episodes of the year, Legalbenchmarks.ai Founder Anna Guo discusses her organization's research that tests whether artificial intelligence custom-made for legal tasks better than general AI tools. Anna is a former BigLaw lawyer who left the practice to become an entrepreneur and now focuses her energies on quantifying the utility of AI in the legal industry. Anna's initial anecdotal research for colleagues quickly revealed a strong community interest in a systematic approach to evaluating legal AI tools. This led to the creation of Legalbenchmarks.AI, dedicated to finding out where the promise of humans plus AI is truly better than humans alone or AI alone. The core of the research involves measuring the "delta," or the extent to which AI can elevate human performance. To date, Legalbenchmarks.ai conducted two major studies: one on information extraction from legal sources and a second on contract review and redlining. Key Findings from the Studies: Accuracy vs. Qualitative Usefulness: The highest-performing general-purpose AI tools (like Gemini) were often found to be more accurate and consistent. However, the legal-specific AI tools often received higher marks in qualitative usefulness and helpfulness, as they align more closely with existing legal workflows. Methodology: The testing goes beyond simple accuracy. It includes a three-part assessment: Reliability (objective accuracy and legal adequacy), Usability (qualitative metrics like helpfulness and coherence for tasks such as brainstorming), and Platform Workflow Support (integration, citation checks, and other features). Human-AI Performance: In the contract analysis study, AI tools matched or exceeded the human baseline for reliability in producing first drafts. Crucially, the data demonstrated that the common belief that "human plus AI will always outperform AI alone" was false; the top-performing AI tool alone still had a higher accuracy rate than the human-plus-AI combo. Risk Analysis: A significant finding was that legal AI tools were better at flagging material risks, such as compliance or unenforceability issues in high-risk scenarios, that human lawyers missed entirely. This suggests AI can act as a crucial safety net. Strengths Comparison: AI excels at brainstorming, challenging human bias, and performing mass-scale routine tasks (e.g., mass contract review for simple terms). Humans retain a significant edge in ingesting nuanced context and making commercially reasonable decisions that AI's instruction-following can sometimes lack.

What if a powerful climate solution in cities isn't a new building, but the roof that's already there? As heat waves intensify across Europe, architect and MIT-trained educator Olivier Faber explains how his firm, Roofscapes is transforming overlooked rooftops into cooling, accessible, green infrastructure. Starting with Paris's iconic zinc roofs, the conversation unpacks why existing buildings are misaligned with today's climate, how shading and vegetation can dramatically reduce indoor temperatures without air conditioning, and why renovation and adaptation may matter more than new construction in the decades ahead. Along the way, Olivier reveals the political, technical, and cultural battles behind testing climate solutions in historic cities, and why climate adaptation is about changing how we value the buildings we already have.Thumbnail Image courtesy of RoofscapesSubscribe to Most Podern on:Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3zYvX2lRZOpHcZW41WGVrpApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/most-podern-podcast/id1725756164Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@MostPodernInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/most.podernLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/most-podernKeywordsarchitecture, climate change, renovation, urban design, sustainability, Roofscapes, green roofs, preservation, adaptation, building practices, Paris, urban design, heat island effectChapters00:00 Background and Journey into Architecture00:51 Exploring Alternative Architecture Practices03:52 Introducing Roofscapes and Its Mission06:17 Physical Adaptation: Before and After07:16 The Challenges of Zinc Roofs in Urban Design10:29 Innovative Solutions for Urban Heat Management11:34Pitching Green Roof Solutions to Building Owners14:08 Navigating the Complexities of Building Regulations17:14 Measuring the Impact of Climate Adaptation Projects24:09 Future Directions for Climate Adaptation in ArchitectureLinksOlivier Faber - https://www.linkedin.com/in/olivier-faberRoofscapes - https://www.roofscapes.studio/MITx - https://mitxonline.mit.edu/

In this final episode of 2025, we talk to Glen McDermott, CEO of Red Rock Branding and a leader in the conscious business movement. Glen shares his personal journey from retail marketing to founding a purpose-driven agency focused on "healthy people and planet," driven by experiences with public health and Australia's devastating bushfires. We delve into a subject close to our hearts, the critical role of language and leadership in shifting business paradigms. Glen talks us through the important work and mission of the Conscious Business Collaborative, which educates future leaders by putting students "shoulder to shoulder" with pioneering CEOs. He argues that while sustainability has “suffered tremendously in the greenwashing movement,” forward-thinking communicators are now leaning into more proactive terms and framing actions around what makes solid business sense. A core theme which we've been exploring for years is Marketer's or marketing's evolving identity and role from being seen, as Glen explains, “marketing in its old sense, traditional sense, you could argue is a dirty word” to becoming essential "change agents" and educators. We explore how strategic marketing, when aligned with a genuine purpose, can build "brands with backbone," influence consumer behaviour positively, and prove that doing good is a viable business model. On the shift in marketing's role, Glen shares how “when talking at a conference in Berlin, I reframed it to be more education. And that was a really interesting flip to the audience who were all incredibly bright researchers and professors. One of the messages I left was asking them to spend more time in public facing operations rather than internal facing.” On finding purpose in work we don't need to overhaul everything at once. Glen's advice is, “do lots of micro experiments until you find what it is, that number one, you're good at and number two, that you can demonstrate some impact in - impact being in terms of improving people's lives (And that's the sticky bit, vs. sell, sell, sell)." It's about finding what we're good at that creates tangible impact, and from there we can build momentum. Tune in as we talk to Glen about: Language being a critical lever and moving beyond jargon and tired terms. Bridging the generational leadership gap. Marketing's evolving role from driving mindless consumption to becoming strategic change agents who use creativity to solve human and ecological challenges. Measuring impact beyond profit, like whether your team feels "jazzed" by their work and social impact, such as improved public health outcomes.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified. Happy December. Today we are revisiting one of my favorite episodes as part of a best of School Counseling Simplified throwback series. This episode focuses on five things I wish I had known when I first started counseling. In this episode, I get personal and share stories from my early days as a school counselor. As counselors, we are lifelong learners who are constantly refining our skills and practices. However, there were several pain points early in my career that I wish I had been prepared for. Knowing these lessons sooner would have saved me significant time, stress, and frustration. Five Lessons I Wish I Knew as a New School Counselor • You do not have to check your email after hours Evenings and weekends are meant for rest, family, and personal time. If you have work email on your phone, set clear boundaries by turning off notifications. Protecting your time helps prevent burnout. • Stay organized with your caseload Strong organizational systems support professionalism and help prevent mistakes that are easily avoidable. An organized caseload allows you to show up more confidently for students. • Data supports your professional judgment Tracking data helps validate your instincts and demonstrates the impact of your work. Measuring student progress allows you to make informed decisions and advocate for your role. • You are not alone Connect with other school counselors through Facebook groups, district colleagues, and professional collaboration opportunities. Community and shared experiences are invaluable, especially early in your career. • Being new does not limit your impact You do not need years of experience to create meaningful change. If you see a need, trust yourself enough to try new approaches and implement programs that support students. Whether you are a brand new counselor or a seasoned professional, this episode serves as a reminder that growth comes from reflection, connection, and confidence in your role.

Understanding your HRV (heart rate variable) and your PWV (Pulse Wave Velocity) can help you understand your cardiovascular health so you can be pro-active in your health. Don't wait until it's too late to address your heart health. Many doctors practice reactive medicine, waiting for problems like cardiovascular disease to arise before addressing them.

Recently I posted and advertisement for guns on Facebook and X it was from 1972.  Featuring things like a Remington 1100 for 144 dollars and a Marlin 30-30 for 80 bucks.   A few people who I do applaud for doing the math pointed out that things like the Mossberg pump at 64 bucks was actually a little more expensive in 72 vs. today if measured against CPI inflation. Again I applaud anyone for doing math but OF COURSE IT TRACKS WITH INFLATION.  Yes, inflation tracks with inflation, shocking!  Seriously what actually matters is real cost, not dollar cost.  The dollar … Continue reading →

#312 | Jess Lytle (Head of Marketing at Exit Five) hosts a roundtable with a group of email experts on what's actually working in email, SMS, and in-app messaging right now. They dig into AI's impact on the inbox, how to sound human when everyone's using the same tools, and why relevance beats volume. The group also breaks down how to personalize without being creepy, what to do with “lurkers” who never click but still convert, and how to build messaging that survives the AI slop era. It's a sharp look at how B2B marketers can cut through the noise, earn attention, and actually get people to respond.Timestamps(00:17) - — Jess welcomes everyone (02:30) - — Why email and messaging aren't dead… bad messaging is (05:58) - — How AI changed the inbox and why standing out is harder than ever (06:34) - — Why human senders beat brand senders in email (10:03) - — Writing emails like you were invited into someone's personal space (12:18) - — Balancing stakeholder requests vs. what your audience actually wants (15:28) - — Real talk on AI personalization, enrichment, and where it actually works (21:33) - — Subject lines, preview text, and how people really decide what to open (23:08) - — Email stories and empathy-driven content that outperform (29:03) - — SMS, in-app, and email orchestration: what to use when (36:20) - — Measuring impact when email is assist, not hero (44:20) - — The future: AI-driven workflows, data challenges, and what's coming (53:00) - — Favorite tools (Claude, NotebookLM, etc.) and how people use them Join 50,0000 people who get our Exit Five Newsletter here: https://www.exitfive.com/newsletterLearn more about Exit Five's private marketing community: https://www.exitfive.com/***Today's episode is brought to you by Knak.Email (in my humble opinion) is the still the greatest marketing channel of all-time.It's the only way you can truly “own” your audience.But when it comes to building the emails - if you've ever tried building an email in an enterprise marketing automation platform, you know how painful it can be.

Gyms aren't failing because ads “don't work.” They're failing because they're tracking the wrong things. You can have the perfect offer, the perfect ad, and still miss the real growth happening right in front of you. Welcome to the Gym Marketing Made Simple Podcast — where clarity replaces confusion and growth stops being a guessing game. Each episode breaks down what actually helps boutique gyms grow in a real, predictable way.Episode HighlightsIn this episode, the focus is on the halo effect and how paid marketing drives growth in ways that aren't always obvious. You'll see why direct leads don't tell the whole story, why signups can rise without a clear source, and how consistent, data-driven marketing creates steady momentum even during slow periods. It's a clear look at which numbers actually matter when measuring real growth.Episode OutlineUnderstanding how consumer behavior actually works in paid marketing.Why most people don't convert directly from an ad.The halo effect: increased awareness, trust, and repeated exposure.Why “How did you hear about us?” is unreliable data.Real example showing a 100% increase in signups from paid ads.How paid marketing boosts website visits, walk-ins, and old leads.Why paid ads must run consistently, even in slow months.Case studies of gyms that grew after implementing paid ads.Why franchises outperform small gyms—and what to learn from them.Why organic efforts alone can't scale growth.The most important metrics to track: signups, CPA, revenue, appointments.The dangers of turning off ads and losing momentum.Common misconceptions about paid marketing.How paid ads influence brand perception and trust.Why a real marketing plan is essential for long-term success and business valuationEpisode Chapters00:00 Intro00:05 Understanding the Halo Effect in Paid Marketing04:21 Measuring the Halo Effect06:26 The Role of Paid Marketing in Business Growth10:46 Data-Driven Decision Making in Marketing14:58 Metrics for Success in Paid Marketing20:34 The Importance of Consistent Marketing Efforts21:47 Addressing Common Misconceptions in Paid Marketing22:02 The Impact of Paid Marketing on Business Perception22:31 The Role of Paid Marketing in Long-Term Business SuccessAction TakenReview how your gym currently measures success and shift focus to actual signups and revenue.Track numbers consistently without relying on “How did you hear about us?”Allocate a monthly paid marketing budget of $2,500–$6,000 to test, optimize, and grow.Strengthen branding and messaging across all platforms to compete with larger players.Map out a long-term marketing plan instead of relying on short-term bursts.ConclusionGrowth doesn't come from one perfect ad or one high-converting offer. It comes from the steady lift created by consistent marketing that builds trust, awareness, and familiarity over time. Once you understand the halo effect and start tracking the numbers that matter, your gym's growth becomes predictable, not accidental.CTAIf this episode helped shift how you look at your marketing, share it with another gym owner who needs to hear it.Supporting Information

As we wrap up 2025, we are featuring some of our most important conversations, including this conversation about IQ, intelligence, and intelligence assessment. Emily Kircher-Morris welcomes Dr. Jack Naglieri, an emeritus professor at George Mason University and senior research scientist at the Devereux Center for Resilient Children. Dr. Naglieri is renowned for his work in intelligence testing and the development of the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test. In this sprawling conversation, Emily and Jack talk about his insights on the evolution and misconceptions surrounding intelligence assessment. They discuss the history of intelligence testing, and the limitations and biases inherent in traditional methods. Dr. Naglieri describes the experiences that led him to question the validity of verbal-based intelligence tests, and ultimately inspired his development of nonverbal assessment tools. They discuss the PASS theory of intelligence, and how it forms the foundation of the Cognitive Assessment System (CAS), a tool designed to measure these processes and offer a nuanced profile of an individual's cognitive strengths and weaknesses. You can download a free copy of the PASS Theory of Intelligence and the CAS2. Dr. Jack A. Naglieri, Ph.D., is Emeritus Professor at George Mason University and Senior Research Scientist at the Devereux Center for Resilient Children. His main interest is the development of psychological and educational tests and the implications these approaches have for accurate and equitable assessment. He has published about 25 books, 50 tests and rating scales, and approximately 300 research papers. Jack is the author of tests used for identification of gifted students, including the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test. He partnered with Dina Brulles and Kim Lansdowne to coauthor the Naglieri Tests of General Ability Verbal, Quantitative and Nonverbal, and the book, Understanding and Using the Naglieri General Ability Tests: A Call to Equity in Gifted Education (Brulles, Lansdowne & Naglieri, 2022). Dr. Naglieri has received many awards for his extensive research program that includes scholarly research, books, and psychological tests with an emphasis on uniting sound theory with equitable scientific practice.

s of the Hubble Constant — Bob Zimmerman — Zimmerman outlines a fundamental crisis in cosmological understanding regarding the Hubble constant, the astronomical parameter measuring the rate at which the universe is systematically expanding across time and space. Zimmerman documents that the measurement crisis stems from irreducible conflicting empirical data: when astronomers measure the early universe using distant supernovae and cosmic microwave background radiation, they derive a lower expansion rate number, yet when they measure the near universeusing contemporary observations of local galactic clusters, they derive a significantly higher expansion rate number. Zimmerman emphasizes that this discrepancy does not result from imprecise or unreliable data; rather, both measurement methodologies have become increasingly sophisticated and accurate, yet the fundamental contradiction persists despite technological improvements. Zimmerman argues that the persistent contradiction between two highly accurate but incompatible numerical values indicates that "something is fundamentally wrong with the cosmology and the theories," suggesting that current scientific understanding of the Big Bang, cosmic evolution, and the universe's fundamental physical properties contains critical errors requiring radical theoretical revision. Zimmerman employs an analogy: if measuring a child's growth rate during their first year of life predicted they should be 4 feet tall, but contemporary measurement reveals them to be 5 feet tall, and both measurements are perfectly accurate, then the mathematical formula governing human growth is fundamentally flawed—similarly, the Hubble constant contradiction suggests current cosmological models misunderstand the universe's fundamental physics and evolutionary trajectory.

Lance Roberts & Danny Ratliff review the growth outlook for the AI sector, the power-cost assumptions built into datacenter models, the economic effects of the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” and the $125 billion in tariff revenue collected this year—along with what tariffs really contribute to inflation. Additional topics include how to read 2x–3x standard deviations using Bollinger Band concepts, which data streams matter most (and where to find them), the link between inflation and economic growth, and practical insights on silver, ETF buy-and-hold strategies, NUA planning, valuation challenges when stocks trade at 25x earnings, and the realities of the “dollar debasement” narrative. As always, we approach these discussions pragmatically: no magic bullets, and market cycles end when they end.

0:00 - Yesterday was a weird game for the Avalanche. Scott Wedgewood got pulled from the shootout due to concussion protocol, and the Avs fell to the Predators 4-3 in Nashville. Still got the point though! That's all that counts.But more importantly...The Altitude TV crew debuted a brand new country single last night! "Colorado Wagon." Shame it came after a loss, though. 20:48 - This upcoming Broncos vs Packers clash will be a real measuring stick game, as the cliche goes. We're about to find out who the Broncos really are when they square up against a legit NFC playoff contender.35:09 - Tim Tebow was asked about Shedeur Sanders and if he can understand what Shedeur is going through. How similar are their situations? Is Mr. Perfect Timing himself akin to Tebow Time?

It's Fed Day, and today's Live Q&A covers what investors should expect as markets position around the announcement, why volatility may pick up afterward, and how this week's action shapes the potential for a Santa Claus Rally. We also discuss whether the Fed has stepped back from its inflation mandate, what that means for long bonds, and how Treasury supply-and-demand dynamics factor into portfolio risk.

  Guests: Parker and Abbi Panetti   If you'd like to watch this podcast, check out the PCA YouTube page.   This is the fourth and final installment of our amazing series with Parker and Abbi examining a variety of angles of college life so that you, as parents, can prepare your students for the various obstacles and opportunities awaiting them on a college campus. The question we ask and answer in this episode is “what does success look like” on a college campus? Some may think that success is getting a 4.0 GPA or landing the “right” job when you graduate…but there's more…much more to God's design for your student. Listen and learn in this great final conversation with Parker and Abbi.

Nearly 70% of U.S. adults now qualify as obese under a new definition that goes beyond body mass index (BMI) to include waist and hip measurements, exposing millions with hidden fat linked to higher disease risk The new standard, developed by an international panel and endorsed by dozens of medical organizations, identifies both clinical obesity — where fat is already harming organs — and preclinical obesity, where fat-driven dysfunction is just beginning Using the expanded criteria, researchers found a 60% surge in obesity prevalence, revealing that about 1 in 4 adults were reclassified as obese — mostly from the overweight group — while roughly 1 in 17 with a "normal" BMI carried hidden visceral fat that raises the risk for diabetes, heart disease, and early death BMI alone fails to distinguish between fat and muscle or between safe subcutaneous fat and harmful visceral fat, meaning many healthy people are misclassified while those at real metabolic risk go undiagnosed Measuring your waist-to-hip or waist-to-height ratio provides a far clearer picture of your metabolic health, empowering you to take early action — through healthy eating, reduced toxin exposure, and daily movement — to restore energy and prevent chronic disease

Description:In this raw and relatable episode, Kristen invites listeners into an honest conversation about one of the most overlooked—but essential—parts of any transformation: the messy middle. From career pivots to personal growth, Kristen shares why this unglamorous phase is where true change actually happens.Using stories from her own life—unexpected setbacks, frustrating gym reps, snow days without WiFi, and even a drooping houseplant—Kristen makes a powerful case for why resilience, self-compassion, and showing up when it's boring and hard are the keys to sustainable success.Whether you're building something new, working through a tough season, or just tired of not seeing quick results, this episode is a must-listen. Kristen gives practical mindset shifts to help you stick with your goals after the excitement wears off—and before the big wins arrive.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why most people quit in the messy middle—and how you can be differentHow boredom, frustration, and slow progress are actually signs you're on the right trackThe importance of building "frustration tolerance"How to retrain your brain to spot micro-wins and signs of lifeWhy downsizing your goals can help you actually follow throughHow to find purpose and pride, even when the results aren't visible (yet)Key Takeaways:Progress is often quiet, slow, and unsexy—but it's still progress.The “messy middle” isn't a problem; it's the process that transforms you.You don't need motivation to stay committed—you need consistency.Building something meaningful requires boring, repetitive reps over time.Boredom is a gateway to creativity, not something to run from.Timestamps:0:58 – Recording from the basement: Life without internet2:45 – Why we love beginnings and endings—but struggle with the middle4:44 – What Kristen's “skyscraper year” taught her about digging deep foundations7:34 – Lessons from her daughter's piano practice (and adult frustration tolerance)10:13 – Why high achievers struggle when they're not good at something right away13:18 – Training your brain to look for signs of life15:21 – How to stay in the game when results are slow17:23 – 5 ways to thrive in the messy middle20:03 – Reflecting on 2025: Measuring internal wins, not just external resultsConnect with Kristen:Visit www.kristenboss.com for coaching, courses, and more resources.Loved the episode?Screenshot and share it on Instagram—tag @thekristenboss so she can shout you out!Leave a rating and review to help others discover the show.Send it to a friend who's stuck in the messy middle and needs a dose of real talk

We show up with one thing: the freedom to tell the truth as we see it. And that freedom only exists because of BlazeTV subscribers.
