Number 1,004The game news might be slowing down as we're at the end of the year, but we've still got plenty to talk about! Obviously we share our thoughts on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, but that's not all. We get into online negativity, share some anime insights, do a Stranger Things deep dive, discuss Ubisoft's current Switch 2 output and SO much more. Oh, and did you know Frosty the Snowman had 3 secret families!?
Have you ever noticed that one powerful weekend can shift the entire trajectory of your life? That's exactly what happened at the Optimized Life Mastermind I co-hosted at my brother Ben Greenfield's biohacker compound in Idaho. And in this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm breaking down my biggest takeaways from that experience through the lens of what I call the 5 F's: Family, Fitness, Faith, Finances, and Fun.If you don't already know Ben, he's basically a walking encyclopedia of high-performance living. New York Times bestselling author, top-tier health and fitness podcaster, former “World's Fittest Man,” supplement founder, coach, entrepreneur, and honestly, just one of the most intentional humans I've ever spent time with. Hosting 20 high-performing entrepreneurs at his home for three and a half days, sharing meals, workouts, masterminds, and late-night deep dives, gave me a front row seat to how he actually lives his optimized life. And I'm pulling back the curtain for you.One of the biggest lessons came from watching Ben lead his family intentionally. He designs an environment where connection isn't optional—it's built in. Morning huddles, evening prayers, tech-free dinners, shared hobbies… all of it creates a home that breathes life into everyone inside it. Research backs it up, too: families with consistent rituals experience higher satisfaction and lower long-term stress. My takeaway? Rituals matter. Even one intentional daily practice, gratitude, prayer, a morning walk, can anchor your entire household.On the fitness front, training with Ben is no joke. The man is a machine. But what struck me most wasn't the intensity. it was the simplicity. Micro-movements: 1-minute mobility, pull-ups between tasks, deep hangs, air squats, brisk walks on calls. Movement snacks, as he calls them. Layer in cold exposure, sunlight, and strength training, and your body becomes a high-performing feedback loop. I came home committed to implementing these simple but powerful movement bursts every day.And then there's faith. Ben calls spiritual fitness the ultimate edge, and I couldn't agree more. His days are rooted in devotion, scripture, worship, and deep conversation. Studies show spiritual practices reduce anxiety and increase emotional resilience, but for Ben, it's more than data; it's an operating system. My biggest takeaway? Stack spirituality into your existing habits. One scripture. One reflection. One prayer. Five minutes. Every day.On the financial side, Ben reminded me that wealth isn't just what you earn, it's what you systematize. Weekly financial reviews, automated investments, intentional giving, and simplifying your income structures create freedom, clarity, and creativity. And that quote he shared? “When God blesses you with wealth, don't build a higher fence, build a longer table.” That's how I want to live.And finally, fun. Joy is not optional. It's strategic. Watching Ben integrate adventure, hobbies, and play into his weekly rhythm was a powerful reminder that fun fuels fulfillment. Whether it's frisbee golf, cooking wild food, family game nights, bow hunting, or spontaneous adventures, fun is woven into the culture of his home. I left with a renewed commitment to schedule joy, not just hope for it.This mastermind wasn't just about health hacks or business tactics. It was about alignment. Humanity. Connection. And the realization that a truly optimized life isn't just built, it's lived, day by day, ritual by ritual, breath by breath.If you want the full experience, all the stories, all the insights, and a deeper dive into how you can implement these 5 F's in your own life, tune in to the full episode. I promise you, there's at least one golden nugget in here that could shift everything for you.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

In this week's conversation, Paul and Joanne explore the interstitium, the in-between tissue that shapes how the body moves, adapts and finds flow. Understanding this living network changes the way we think about fascia, movement, biomechanics and the subtle intelligence within the body.They also share a highly useful case study from their teaching practice, offering a clear look at how a young dancer unlocked new freedom in her spine through micro movement medicine. This example will be especially helpful for movement teachers, yoga and Pilates practitioners, physiotherapists, manual therapists and anyone working with somatic awareness and fascia science.Micro movement medicine does not replace your current method. It expands it. When we learn to recognise the patterns of rigidity and the fixed-to-flow spectrum, we can guide the body toward ease, adaptability and continuity. Small, thoughtful movements often create the most meaningful global change.If you want to learn more about the magic of micro movement medicine and how it can transform your professional practice, directly from Paul and Joanne, then explore our courses at myofascialmagic.comYou're also welcome to contact us with any questions on Instagram:@myofascial_magic@joanneavison@paul.s.thornleyWe'd love to hear what this episode brings forward for you!

The Net Promoter System Podcast – Customer Experience Insights from Loyalty Leaders
Episode 259: How do you prevent first-trip hassles such as a room not being ready at check-in, Wi-Fi outages, or service delays from discouraging first-time customers from returning? Today's guest, Rachel Bicking, EVP of Innovation at Kobie Marketing, says that after a slightly negative first trip, customers are 80% less likely to return. Kobie—a technology platform that builds and runs rewards and loyalty programs—is solving this. They use a "journey atlas" to read social signals, spot subtle first-trip frictions, and then trigger targeted offers or fixes. They model lift and rewards liability so that investment can follow behavior change. Journey maps freeze a tense customer moment. A live atlas shows where small failures block the next purchase and coordinates fixes across channels. Inside the business, spending becomes about precision. Simulators forecast lift, break-even, and profit impact by segment and moment, so finance are able to see trade-offs before money moves. The payoff? Practical programs that grow trips, expand categories, and raise lifetime value. Guest: Rachel Bicking, EVP of Innovation, Kobie Marketing Host: Rob Markey, Partner, Bain & Company Give Us Feedback. Help us improve the podcast here: https://bit.ly/CCPodcastFeedback Time-Stamped Topics: [00:03] First-trip friction that kills repeat purchases, with examples and fixes [00:10] Personalization that simplifies the customer experience [00:12] Emotional Loyalty Scoring, habit, status, and reciprocity [00:21] Coordinating recovery across store, app, and site for the same customer [00:23] Using precision to avoid incentivizing the wrong customer base [00:27] Designing redemptions to expand baskets, categories, and trip frequency [00:31] Accounting for redemption cost and liability without derailing good decisions [00:34] Using simulators to forecast lift and break-even before spending a dollar [00:36] The moment modeling convinces finance to reallocate the budget Time-Stamped Quotes: 00:05 — "What we're trying to do at scale is identify those moments that matter and those micro-moments that then lead to a negative or positive experience. Because we want to amplify the positives and we want to make sure that we intercept the negative ones." 00:07 — "I think there's been a broader inclination to say, 'Hey, if it's below a certain amount, people don't care.' And this is where personalization becomes really important. If I get delayed checking into my hotel room and I have to go to the next meeting and I don't have time to put my stuff down, ten minutes matters." 00:08 — "Data-wise, we're always trying to break down customers' interactions [and] rewards into a series of metadata, into a series of features, so that we can make them more explainable at scale." 00:13 — "If personalization is done well, the experience from a customer perspective should be very simple. It should be guided. It should be deliberate."
Content creation is now a non-negotiable marketing skill that every CEO needs to adapt to. So how do you actually grow your audience without feeling like you're cosplaying an influencer instead of being a business owner? We have to start seeing marketing and content creation as 50% of the business. It's literally the main way that most CEOs are growing their businesses these days. So there are 3 main types of posts that I want to expand on today: Big viral moments (brand awareness and brand reach) Mini viral moments (reaching adjacent communities) Micro-viral moments (deepening current communities) Half the time, when we think of content that is growth oriented, we're trying to hit all three areas. We want it to go mega viral, reach relevant adjacent communities, and deepen our current community all at the same time. This thing is, that's just not how things typically work. So many people are still looking at content on a binary scale. Like, you're either a content creator or a business owner. But backing yourself into a corner where you're only identifying with one archetype actually does have it's cons. Whether you're a creator, an influencer, an online business owner, or a thought leader, their are pros and cons to each approach. What is the archetype that we wanna co-create in order for you to actually work towards growing your audience in 2026? Personally, I've found the "founder archetype" to be a really beneficial framework to create a nice balance. I'm giving you the framework to take all of the pros from the previous archetypes and filter out the cons as a founder. Connect with me: Website Join our email list!

Do you ever look around and think, “Why are teens today so fragile when life is easier than ever?”In this conversation, Greg and Rachel break down why so many young people are anxious, avoidant, and overwhelmed by normal life—and how to raise resilient teens who can actually handle hard things. They unpack the impact of comfort culture, overprotection, and screen-based living, then share practical ways to “microdose” and “macrodose” challenge through workouts, travel, projects, and real-life responsibility. You'll learn how to build holistic toughness—physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, and even financial—without shaming your kids or recreating the harshness of past generations.
Rory and Drew celebrate crawling their way to 30k subs, then immediately prove they are barely qualified to handle it by turning a Stranger Things binge into a full-blown lecture on composition, lighting, and how to reverse-engineer blockbuster shots into Midjourney and Nano Banana Pro prompts. They talk like film school dropouts who discovered prompts instead of lenses. From there, they unpack fresh Midjourney office hours: the upcoming UI/UX overhaul with continuous scrolling, better color control, a reworked style system, and the big one: parallel edit models that finally keep you inside Midjourney instead of forcing you into five other tools. They break down what “better text handling” could realistically mean for real-world client work, what to expect from Midjourney V8 training in January, and why business use cases will decide who actually wins this model war. Then it's a long, dangerous slide into Nano Banana Pro obsession. They show how they are using it for real campaigns: ingredient flat-lay diagrams with perfect labels, knolling that actually respects object counts, thumbnail iterations in minutes, hyper-real food tweaks (“make the cheese more brown and bubbly”) and product work where text on bottles and labels actually holds up. Think: turning moodboards into branded cars, movie-poster typography onto existing art, and multi-shot car sequences that are clean enough to use as video keyframes. In the back half, they zoom out into systems: building custom Nano tools in Google AI Studio, using JSON prompts, if-then logic, and style libraries to create reusable pipelines for teams that are not prompt nerds. They rant about broken N8N workflows, fake Instagram “AI automation” grifts, and share where affiliate tools actually see conversions today across YouTube, X, and LinkedIn. It is part Midjourney V8 rumor mill, part Nano Banana Pro clinic, part therapy session for creatives trying to stay sane in an algorithm that clearly prefers trolls and evolving Pokémon. --⏱️ Midjourney Fast Hour00:00 Midjourney Fast Hours hits 30k subs01:28 Stranger Things S5, film craft & AI framing05:39 Turning cinematic shots into AI prompts07:33 Pop culture prompts, memes & brand tie-ins08:38 Nano Banana branding tricks & model hype cycle09:38 Midjourney swag, “non-sponsored sponsors”10:12 Midjourney UI overhaul & scrolling-style feed15:46 Midjourney edit models and in-app image editing20:16 Midjourney V8 timing, text handling & business use24:41 Midjourney vs other models for real client work26:47 Free image tools, casual users & competition30:57 Nano Banana Pro: real-world client use cases36:31 Micro edits, product shots & text stress tests42:33 Product versioning, depth tests & asset variants44:25 Car branding, moodboards & Nano video keyframes46:20 Polaroid race car branding & design details50:09 Building custom Nano tools in Google AI Studio55:21 Style libraries, handoff workflows & reverse prompts59:17 If-then logic for prompts, GPTs & image systems01:03:01 From tokens to full-blown image systems01:04:21 Instagram grifts, empty funnels & manychat rage01:05:15 Platforms that actually convert for AI tools01:06:38 Algorithm chaos, Pokémon and death threats01:06:58 Midjourney swag, the Faye cameo & water bottle talk01:07:58 Future video model hype, skepticism & sign-off

This trend is a direct response to systemic burnout, prompting a vital debate on the real career risks of trading future security for present sanity. / The music to calm your pet (19:03).

And yet every fracture offers us a choice: shatter through denial… or rebuild into something stronger.Brandon talks about:• Why strong people break harder• The illusion of invulnerability• Micro-damage as a metaphor for character development• Stoic recovery: reflection, realignment, rebuilding• How to turn every break into wisdom• Why breaking means you're becoming—not failingIf you're carrying a heavy load, if you feel cracks forming, or if you've recently broken and are trying to make sense of it—this episode will help you rebuild strong at the broken places.

The traditional linear shopping journey has collapsed. Commerce now happens everywhere, and consumers are navigating this omnimodal reality with unprecedented fluidity.Phillip Jackson and Lindsay Trinkle sit down with Melissa Minkow, Global Director of Retail Strategy and Insights at CI&T, to unpack findings from her Retail Tech Reality Check research. Together, they dissect how different platforms serve distinct purposes in the buyer's journey, why "omnichannel" is more relevant than ever, and what happens when everything becomes shoppable but commerce itself becomes invisible.In this episode, we explore how the expanded digital ecosystem is fundamentally reprogramming how consumers engage with content, community, and commerce. With 74% of US consumers now using AI tools in their path to purchase, brands can no longer control the narrative—instead, they must embed themselves intentionally into customer-led conversations across multiple contexts.Commerce Is Invisible; Context Isn'tKey takeaways:Each social platform serves a distinct purpose: Facebook for purchasing, YouTube for discovery, Reddit for research. Context matters more than channel ubiquity.The invisible transaction wins: TikTok succeeds because it's entertainment-first. The less commerce feels like commerce, the more consumers buy.Attribution is broken: Traditional linear models can't capture circular, contextual journeys. Focus on conversion, repeat purchase, and brand awareness—the only metrics you can trust.Search remains unsolved: Basic functionality like filtering furniture by dimensions is still missing. Data quality and search methodology are foundational competitive advantages.Micro-influencers drive outsized impact: 45 passionate referrals matter more than 45,000 followers. The persona of the referrer (picky, experimental, passionate) outweighs reach.AI will reshape holiday 2025: Gifting anxiety makes AI particularly valuable. Consumers use it to avoid looking stupid and navigate uncertain return processes.In-Show Mentions:Melissa Minkow - Global Director of Retail Strategy and Insights, CI&TCI&T Retail Tech Reality Check ResearchNew Modes ResearchAssociated Links:Check out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

A new campaign, the National Emergency Briefing, thinks (rightly) there's a climate emergency going on. They want Keir Starmer to go on TV and tell the nation, like Boris did with Covid. But would that work? Do people think about climate change the same as other types of 'emergency'? In this Micro episode I chat to climate comms guru Adam Corner about the similarities - and differences - between climate emergencies and the Covid emergency. After a snippet of my 2021 chat him, I dial him up again for his latest views on the back of the NEB. You can listen to the full interview here or in the back catalogue.

In this powerful and reflective episode of The Six Figure Author Experiment, Russell and Lee explore what it really means to hit a brick wall in your creative or business journey — and why you shouldn't always try to smash through it. Through stories of coaching calls, spiritual metaphors, and mindset shifts, they unpack how resistance often signals misalignment, not failure. Learn how to recognize when you're forcing the wrong path, how to find “the door” instead of breaking the wall, and how to diagnose whether your challenge is a project, audience, prioritization, or income problem.Topics Covered:* Why most “brick walls” aren't meant to be broken — they're signals, not barriers* Healing limiting beliefs one “brick” at a time instead of fighting the whole wall* The armor we build from childhood and how to safely shed it for true growth* Addition by subtraction: why scaling up often requires doing less, not more* Learning to control inputs, not outputs — and embracing creative surrender* How collaboration and outside perspectives accelerate your author growth* Releasing control and building trust through editing, partnerships, and feedback* The difference between “real” blocks and imagined ones — mindset vs. mechanics* The universe's brick walls as invitations to pivot, not punishments* Understanding when pain or loss is actually clearing the path for expansion* The “lock through” metaphor: waiting for alignment before moving to the next level* How fear disguises itself as over-control or over-effort* The “Happy Compass” framework: diagnosing your true problem* Heart / Project problems – issues inside the book or creative work* Audience problems – not enough or the wrong readers* Prioritization problems – too many low-impact actions* Income problems – conversion or pricing challenges* Why solving the wrong problem keeps authors stuck* Choosing the money: how to double down on what's already working* Micro-practices to open your “flow” with money and creative energy* Nervous system regulation and somatic awareness for sustainable creativity* How embodiment, mindset, and business systems interconnect* From frustration to flow: how to reconnect with joy and direction This is a public episode.

What if your biggest struggles were actually your greatest qualifications for future success? In this episode, discover the power of creating a "hardship resume" by looking back at all the challenges you've already overcome. Learn why writing down things you're grateful for isn't just feel-good advice, but brain training that develops neural circuits to spot opportunities you might otherwise walk right past. We explore how practicing gratitude literally rewires your brain to notice what's working in your favor, while reviewing your past victories reminds you of the strength you already possess. When you start viewing adversity as strength training rather than punishment, every challenge becomes an opportunity to build the muscles you'll need for your next breakthrough.

Number 1,003You'd think we'd be all kinds of lethargic following a Thanksgiving feast, but that's not the case at all. There are all kinds of lively conversations this episode, and things only pick up as time goes on. We have some VERY strong opinions about some VERY serious and VERY stupid things!
On this 305th episode of Take Flight Weekly, I pull back the curtain on the 10 lessons that shaped me the most in 2025. I'm the President of Jameson Sotheby's International Realty, I coach elite-level producers across dozens of markets, and I continue to build my own business. That combination gives me a front-row seat to what separates the 3% from the 97%. These are the real patterns that separate the people who grow from the people who stay stuck. The 10 Patterns That Separate the 3% From the 97% → Lesson 1: Vision Is an Emotional Destination A true vision is a feeling. It's the emotional state you want to experience three years from now—clarity, control, energy, confidence, margin. → Lesson 2: An Extra 0.25% on Every $10M in Production Is $25,000 Elite producers understand the compounding effect of precision. Micro improvements stack, scale, and matter. → Lesson 3: Is Planning Actually Procrastination? Too many advisors hide behind "planning" because it feels productive. But planning without execution is avoidance. Planning becomes procrastination the moment it delays action. → Lesson 4: The 3% Are Willing to Fail to Learn and Grow Failing in public is the entry fee to elite performance. The 3% don't fear failure. They fear stagnation. Most optimize for safety. The elite optimize for growth. → Lesson 5: The Basics Will Always Work. Less Is More. Top performers master the basics at a higher level. When business gets noisy, the elite simplify. Excellence is built through subtraction, not addition. → Lesson 6: The Next Frontier Is Marketing Your Hyper-Local Market Advisors who master hyper-local expertise will own the next decade. The buying public chooses location first. AI is indexing geography at a micro level. Build a brand tied directly to location. → Lesson 7: Only 4% of People Receive Two or More Handwritten Notes Per Year Authenticity stands out. A handwritten note has the highest open rate in the world. Low cost. High impact. Underutilized. → Lesson 8: If You Don't Plant, You Will Not Harvest Input always precedes output. You cannot take a season off from marketing, database management, and relationship nurturing and expect predictable revenue. Keep planting during your busiest months. → Lesson 9: The Top 1% Are Obsessed with Reaching Their Goals Not committed. Obsessed. The top 1% live in complete alignment with their outcomes. Their habits, calendars, and relationships match their goals. Elite performance is engineered. → Lesson 10: Rightsize Is My Word for 2026 Rightsizing is about stripping away clutter. It's about aligning your business, commitments, team, and inputs with your emotional destination. It's not about shrinking. It's about recalibrating to grow in the right direction. Here's my promise heading into 2026: I'm going to keep doing the work, connecting the dots, and bringing you the truth about what separates elite producers from the 97%. You show up and do your part, and I'll show up and do mine. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Keywords:Strategic pivot, micro-pivot, S-Cubed, personal growth, mindset, reflection, alignment, change, direction, successSummary:This episode, highlights the importance of strategic pivots in personal and professional growth. There is an emphasis on the difference between reacting out of panic and repositioning with intention. The conversation introduces the S-Cubed framework—State, Story, Strategy—as a method for making informed pivots. The value of micro-pivots, which allow for small adjustments that can lead to significant outcomes. Through personal anecdotes and reflection questions, listeners are encouraged to explore their own areas for growth and experimentation.Takeaways:Not every pivot is productive; some are emotional reactions.Strategic pivots require reflection and intention.Movement without direction is just motion.Micro-pivots can protect momentum while learning.Testing small shifts can prevent major setbacks.Success is driven by the strategy behind the process.Every pivot is an experiment in alignment.Identify areas in life where you're reacting instead of repositioning.Reflection questions can guide your next move.Knowing when to pivot is crucial for growth.Sound bites:"Do not confuse movement with progress.""Strategic pivots start with a pause, not panic.""Every pivot is an experiment in alignment."

Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
High performers often confuse power with pressure, leading to burnout, decision fatigue, and emotional overload. In this episode, Julie teaches practical identity-level tools to stay powerful without collapsing under expectation—and shows how Taylor Swift embodies aligned strength.High-capacity humans are often praised for their strength, stability, and potential. But the very traits that make people trust you can quietly turn into pressure—pressure to carry more, respond faster, hold everything together, and never falter. This episode explores how that pressure creates burnout, decision fatigue, leadership strain, and emotional exhaustion, and why high performers often feel powerful one moment and overwhelmed the next.Julie Holly guides you through the identity-level shift that allows power to be expressed without being performed. You'll learn the psychological mechanisms behind pressure responses, how the nervous system contracts under expectation, and how reclaiming agency creates sustainable strength. This is not behavior modification or another mindset tactic—this is Identity-Level Recalibration, the root transformation that makes every other tool finally work again.To bring these insights to life, Julie draws on Taylor Swift's evolution—her early choice to protect her potential, the rising weight of public projection, and her transformative decision to reclaim authorship of her identity. Her story becomes a powerful mirror for high performers learning to move from pressure into aligned agency.Inside this episode, you'll practice:• Micro-boundaries that restore choice• Identity-first decision making• A simple alignment check for the nervous system• Releasing roles that are no longer yours to carryYou'll leave with a grounded sense of how to stay powerful without feeling pressured—and how to move through your day from alignment, not obligation.Micro Recalibration: Where are you confusing power with pressure? Ask: “What is mine to carry—and what is mine to release?”Micro Recalibration for Teams: What pressure are we unintentionally placing on individuals that should be shared or clarified?If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Dr. Mikael Palner discusses how psilocybin microdosing alters synaptic plasticity in rats and how these brain changes align with shifts in stress resiliancy and compulsive behaviors. He then discusses how these data line up with emerging reports on low-dose psilocybin as helpful in cases of OCD, and hypothesizes a plausible biological basis. ...

Guest: Danielle De Pillis, MS Neuroscience, C-IAYT (12 Petals Wellness)Danielle De Pillis joins Amy from South Minneapolis for a clear-eyed conversation about chronic pain, interoception, and why “sending someone to yoga class” is not the same as yoga therapy. Danielle traces her arc from high-pressure ad agency life into a years-long recovery that rewired her relationship with her body—then back into graduate study in neuroscience at King's College London to understand the brain networks behind what she and her clients were experiencing. This is a grounded dialogue where ancient yoga maps (kośas, guṇas, abhyāsa/vairāgya) meet modern neuroscience and trauma-informed care.Listen forHow chronic sciatic pain (without injury) resolved through tiny, breath-led movements and attention trainingWhy interoception (insula-based networks) is the missing link across PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, and eating disordersThe limits of protocols: why yoga therapy must meet the person—not the diagnosisPractical strategies for “sitting is the new smoking” workplacesUsing Yoga Nidra and micro-practices to “bring a region back online” and rebuild brain–body connectionsTrauma-informed considerations for healthcare and why telehealth lowers barriers for clients with PTSDKey ideas & takeawaysPain is a messenger, not a verdict. When we treat it like data, we can adapt habit loops (workload, sitting time, emotional patterns like anger), not just tissues.Attention before ambition. Danielle's recovery hinged on “microscopic movements, breath, mudrā, and curiosity”—a living example of abhyāsa (steady practice) and vairāgya (non-grasping).Interoception is foundational. Many clients say “I'm fine” until they close their eyes and notice otherwise. Building interoceptive literacy (Yoga Nidra body scan, slow breath, graded exposure to sensation) is therapy.No one-size-fits-all. Back pain, for example, can stem from different drivers (biomechanical load, overthinking/rumination, shock/trauma, life stress). Assessment across the pañca-maya kośa clarifies which lever to pull first.Healthcare and gym yoga. A doctor's “try yoga” often misfires; yoga therapy (or therapeutic yoga) individualizes, paces, and is trauma-informed.Maintenance is the path. Bodies require lifelong tending. Danielle uses movement “snacks,” nature walks, and between-client resets—little choices that keep systems regulated.Practical practices mentioned (try these)Micro-movement + breath: Choose one joint/region that feels “offline.” Explore 1–2 minutes of tiny ranges with smooth nasal breath and curiosity. Stop well before pain.Yoga Nidra, targeted: If you consistently “drop out” during a specific body region, create a 10-minute Nidra just for that side/area to rebuild signal.Workday resets: Every 45–60 minutes, stand, walk a block, or do 2–3 shapes while the kettle boils.Green-space therapy: Daily time in nature to shift autonomic state toward safety and restoration.Memorable quotes“Attention is where it's at. People say ‘mindfulness,' but what changed me was attention—and curiosity.” —Danielle“What got disconnected along the way? That's the puzzle yoga therapy helps clients solve.” —Amy“We're not treating a protocol; we're meeting a person, this week.” —DanielleAbout our guestDanielle De Pillis is a yoga therapist and neuroscience-informed practitioner based in Minneapolis.

In this solo episode, Darin explores a radical idea backed by ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience: that awe — a single embodied moment of wonder — may be the fastest biological doorway to expanding consciousness.

Every company says emotional intelligence matters.But if EI works… why are so many top performers still stuck?Why do smart people hesitate? Why do leaders plateau? Why do teams still fall apart?This episode starts with how Nada trains EI (emotional intellgience) inside Fortune 500 companies. Then we expose the real truth your career actually runs on.EI helps you talk better.Self-confidence helps you live better.And only one of them gets you out of purgatory.Inside the conversation, you'll see why 83% of professionals struggle with confidence, why comfort kills growth, and how to build the courage to make real moves before life forces your hand.This is one of the most honest talks we've ever had on the show.Inside the Episode • Why emotional intelligence stopped being enough... and how EI without self-confidence becomes performance, not leadership. • Micro-confidence vs self-confidence. Why skill isn't enough. How to stop overthinking and start moving again.• The math of comfort-zone purgatory. Why staying “fine” drains momentum.

What if the feeling you're trying to avoid is actually pointing to what you need most? In this episode, Coach Cole and Coach Hayley guide Tory and Jean through compassionate exploration of the urges driving their drinking. Tory describes anticipation, ritual, and the itchy “deprivation sweater” she feels when she skips a drink. Jean shares how isolation and social anxiety feed her belief that she's “not interesting.” Both women dive into how to figure out why you drink - not to shame, but to uncover hidden needs, from creativity and space to self-worth and connection. In Tory's Session: Translating the “deprived/itchy” sensation into data, not danger. How anticipation builds the ritual—and how to disrupt it kindly. Micro-pause practice: five minutes to explore how to figure out why you drink. “No room to grow” → portable creativity kits and boundary conversations. Reframing anger as an unmet-need alert, not a failure. Shifting from measuring pours to measuring alignment and relief. Choosing compassion tools over control tactics. And more topics… In Jean's Session: Social anxiety's storylines: “I'm boring,” “I'll say it wrong,” “I'll stay home.” Worth vs. worthiness feelings: why the difference matters. Hand-on-heart anchors and compassionate self-talk before events. Understanding how to figure out why you drink to stop pre-event numbing. Low-stakes connection reps to unwind isolation loops. “I'm in the process of…” turnarounds that feel true (not toxic positivity). Progress over perfection: practicing courage in small doses. And more… Cole Harvey is a certified Naked Mind Senior Coach. For years, he felt lost and used alcohol as a way to cope, until he decided to go alcohol-free and focus on finding his purpose.
