Before D. L. Moody became the greatest evangelist of the 19th Century, he ran a storefront Sunday School to reach some of the street kids of Chicago. The story is told of one tough little guy who was seen on Sunday after Sunday. He lived a long way from his destination. Well, on one brutally cold and snowy Chicago day, one man saw the boy walking into the wind, making his usual Sunday morning journey to Moody's Sunday School. He asked the boy why he would make that effort every Sunday, even on a day when no one else was out, especially when he passed by a lot of churches that were a lot closer to his home. The boy's explanation was pretty clear and pretty simple, “I go there Mister, because they really make a fellow feel loved there.” I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “A Leader's Real Assignment.” The first portrait of Jesus I can ever remember seeing as a child was one that portrays Him as the Good Shepherd, with His sheep following Him closely and this one little lamb cuddled in His arms. Interestingly enough, now that I'm in Christian leadership, I realize that picture is also what I'm supposed to be about. And you, too, if God has entrusted you with any kind of influence or direction in people's lives. Your template is supposed to be that of a shepherd of whom people say, “He or she sure makes a person feel loved.” Listen to 1 Peter 5, beginning with verse 2. It's our word for today from the Word of God, and it's a picture of leadership worth planting deeply in your heart. Writing to those in leadership God says, “Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers...” OK, quick timeout here! Notice whose sheep your people are—your children are. They're God's; they're not yours. Don't ever start acting like they're yours. And notice, too, that they are given to you to be under your care, not under your thumb. Peter goes on: “Not because you must, but because you are willing…not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.” OK, what's the Biblical picture of being a leader? Right, shepherding. Leading the sheep, not lording it over them. Loving the sheep, not using them for your own ends. Modeling more than demanding. So if you're a shepherd, what should you be doing? Well, a shepherd always leads the sheep to what they need. If you've been entrusted with people to lead, it's your job to gently direct them to what they need emotionally, spiritually, physically, mentally, and to know when they need encouraging, and when they need correcting, and when they just need loving. Christian leadership is all about you meeting their needs, not them meeting yours. Shepherding also means keeping your sheep from wandering—establishing clear boundaries and pulling them back at the first sign of wandering. Being a shepherd also means protecting your sheep from the enemy. A few verses later in this passage, Peter talks about resisting the roaring lion who's looking for someone to devour. It is the Christian leader's job to keep his eyes open for where Satan might get in and then to defend his flock from the stalking of the lion. And Jesus taught us one other thing the “good shepherd” does. He said, “He calls His own sheep by name” (John 10:3). I love that! In other words, if you're a good shepherd, you will give each of His sheep individual attention, the kind that street kid in Chicago must have felt at D. L. Moody's Sunday School. Make each one feel like the most important person in the world when they're with you. There's nobody else for you right now, than them. Don't treat them just like another nameless face in the flock. Jesus was a shepherd, and now He's called you to be one, trusting you with some of the sheep that He died for. Your children, your grandchildren, your church, your Bible study. All those people under your leadership. Is leadership worth the price you pay? Is it worth the sacrifices you make? Listen to the bottom line in 1 Peter 5:4 - “And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory, that will never fade away.”

What if your greatest leadership achievement isn't what you accomplish yourself - but the leaders you develop who continue multiplying long after you're gone? In this episode of Leaders of Transformation, Nicole Jansen welcomes back leadership development expert and bestselling author Mac Lake to discuss his latest book, Super Multiplier. What does it take to build a leadership legacy that extends far beyond your own influence? Mac reveals how great leaders intentionally develop leaders who go on to develop other leaders – creating a multiplication effect that can impact organizations for generations. Drawing from decades of experience building leadership pipelines, Mac shares the mindset shifts and practical habits leaders need to intentionally develop others and create a culture of multiplication. Together, Nicole and Mac explore why most leadership development efforts fail, the hidden beliefs that prevent leaders from investing in others, and how to identify and unlock the potential already sitting within your organization. Whether you're leading a business, ministry, nonprofit, or team, this conversation will challenge you to think beyond leadership training and embrace leadership multiplication that lasts for generations. What We Discuss in this Episode Why leadership gaps are solved by developing people, not simply finding people The hidden mindsets that prevent leaders from developing others Why most organizations rely on the ineffective "wait and hope" leadership strategy The difference between leadership training and leadership transformation Why mindset must change before skill set can change How limiting beliefs hold emerging leaders back from reaching their potential What it means to "mine for the gold" in people How great leaders identify and cultivate strengths in others Lessons from Jesus' model of leadership development and multiplication Why leadership multiplication is more powerful than leadership addition How to develop leaders who can develop other leaders Why leadership development requires intentionality more than time Practical ways to develop leaders during everyday work activities How modeling, practice, and debriefing accelerate leadership growth Why failure is one of the greatest tools for leadership development The 4T Framework: Think, Try, Talk, and Train How leaders can continue growing by building on their strengths The importance of creating a replicable leadership development process What it means to build leadership four generations deep How to create a lasting leadership legacy within your organization Highlights  00:00 – Why Leadership Development Often Fails 02:30 – Leadership Gaps Aren't Solved by Finding People 06:00 – The Mindsets That Limit Leadership Multiplication 10:00 – Why Mindset Comes Before Skill Set 13:00 – The Problem with the "Wait and Hope" Strategy 16:00 – Leadership Training vs. Leadership Transformation 20:00 – Mining for the Gold in People 24:00 – What Jesus Teaches Us About Developing Leaders 29:00 – Why Leaders Think They Don't Have Time 33:00 – Everyday Opportunities to Develop Future Leaders 38:00 – Failure as Fertilizer for Growth 42:00 – The Power of Modeling and Debriefing 46:00 – How to Identify Your Next Growth Area 50:00 – The 4T Framework for Leadership Development 54:00 – How to Multiply Leaders Four Generations Deep 58:00 – Building a Leadership Legacy That Lasts Episode Show Notes and Links to Mac Lake's Books and Resources: https://leadersoftransformation.com/podcast/leadership/super-multipliers-how-to-multiply-great-leaders-four-generations-deep-with-mac-lake/ Check out our complete library of episodes and other leadership resources here: https://leadersoftransformation.com ________

Catharine recently appeared in the hit family fantasy film:

The Approach Angle Nate Schwartz (@_nateschwartz) and Kyle Bland (@blandalytics) talk about the numbers and ideas behind pitch models. The discussion begins by talking about what "stuff" actually is. What does it mean when a scout says a pitcher has great stuff, and how does that get valued? Kyle lays out the pitch characteristics and other factors that go into stuff. Then, they talk about if Stuff models actually do what people want them to do, and what the gaps in the thinking are. Next, the two get into how Stuff models are built. There are different philosophies and concepts that can change how the final output looks, but some inputs are consistent across almost all models. Finally, the discussion shifts into how to use Stuff models and actually understand what the numbers mean for different types of pitchers.

When we think about the modeling industry, we usually picture the glamour—the runways, the magazine covers, the high-fashion shoots. But the real story of a modeling career isn't written on a photographer's call sheet; it's written in the dense, legal fine print of a contract. So today, we're going to talk about the truth about modeling contracts, and what separates a career-launching partnership from a trap.Become a guest on High Feels Podcast: https://highfeelspodcast.com/guestBook more modeling jobs by discovering the industry more with the Online Modeling Course: https://modelingmastercourse.com Questions or comments?

In this In Case You Missed It episode of the I Hear Design podcast, we revisit an interiors+sources article exploring how performance-based fire modeling can help architects and designers resolve one of the most difficult tensions in adaptive reuse and renovation work: preserving design intent while meeting life safety and egress requirements. The article explains how prescriptive code requirements can sometimes force costly or disruptive design changes, from added exit stairs and wider corridors to reconfigured layouts that compromise the original concept. Performance-based fire and egress modeling offers another path by using data, simulations, and expert analysis to demonstrate that a building can meet or exceed the intent of life safety codes—even when it does not follow every prescriptive requirement exactly. Listeners will learn how tools such as computational fluid dynamics, fire dynamics simulation, and egress modeling help evaluate Available Safe Egress Time and Required Safe Egress Time, as well as why early collaboration with fire protection engineers and authorities having jurisdiction is critical. The episode also highlights where performance-based design can unlock flexibility for historic buildings, warehouse conversions, office-to-clinic transformations and other complex projects where code compliance and creative vision can appear to be at odds. Tune in to hear how fire modeling can become more than a technical workaround; it can be a design enabler that supports safety, flexibility, and more successful project outcomes.

Host:Sonya JanisseEpisode Title: No Hacks, No Quacks: The Real Practice of Building Your Next ChapterFormat: Solo Episode[00:00 - 02:30] Introduction: Real Life & The BiggerHey everyone, welcome back to the show. This is Episode 211.If my voice sounds a little more slowed down or deeply anchored today, it's because I am practicing exactly what I preach. Two days ago, on Thursday, I had to get a round of needles for my neuralgia. It is intense, it takes a toll, and it demands that I pause.So today, I am recording this from a place of deep rest, prioritization, and making sacrifices for the bigger picture. I could have pushed myself to the brink this week, but the bigger picture requires my health. It requires me to look at my schedule and say, "What actually matters right now?"And that brings us right into today's conversation. Because I am so incredibly tired of the noise out there.Let's just lay the cards on the table: I am not a full-of-shit wellness influencer. I am not here to sell you a magical 90-day transformation where you wake up a completely different person, drinking green juice on a mountaintop, totally cured of human friction.I hate hacks. I hate quacks. And I absolutely loathe marketing gimmicks.Let's be honest, most of those supplements you're being targeted with on social media? They are costly garbage. They are expensive urine packaged in aesthetic bottles designed to make you feel like you can buy your way out of the actual work.We need to talk about what it actually takes to build a life, a business, and a body that feels like home, without the fluff.[02:30 - 06:00] Segment The Hard Truths About Consistency and FeelingsHere is the truth that the wellness industry won't tell you: You already know what to do.That's not the problem. You don't need another masterclass, you don't need another book, and you don't need to be motivated. Motivation is a fair-weather friend. It shows up when the sun is shining and vanishes the second things get heavy or painful.We treat consistency like it's a personality trait, like some people are just born with the "consistency gene" and the rest of us missed out. It's not a trait.Consistency is a practice. It is a muscle you build when you don't want to.And that requires us to reframe how we look at our emotions. Feelings are real. But they are not decision-making criteria.“Feelings are real. But they are not decision-making criteria.”If I only created content, built my business, or took care of myself when I felt like it, especially living with chronic pain, I would never leave my bed. If you wait until you feel like doing the hard thing, you will be waiting forever. Procrastination will bury you if you let it.When you find yourself stuck, throwing your hands up and saying, "I don't know how to fix this," I want you to pause. "I don't know" is where you start. It is not where you stop. It's an invitation to figure it out, not an exit ramp to give up.Because at the end of the day, you can't outsource your pushups. Nobody else can do the heavy lifting for your life. Learning about the workout won't change your body. Learning won't change you. Practice will.[06:00 - 09:30] Segment 2: Little Hinges Swing Big DoorsSo how do we actually practice this without burning out?First, remember that successful people ask for help.Pushing uphill by yourself isn't a badge of honor; it's a fast track to exhaustion. Asking for help—whether that's from your support circle, a professional, or your community—is a strategy, not a weakness.Second, embrace the unsexy truth: Something is better than nothing. Every single time.If you can't do a full one-hour workout, do ten minutes of stretching. If you can't write a whole chapter of your book, write one paragraph. If you can't launch a massive course today, write down the outline.We get paralyzed by perfectionism, but specificity is a superpower. When you get crystal clear on the exact, tiny step you need to take next, the overwhelm vanishes. Little hinges swing big doors. You don't need a sledgehammer to change your life; you just need to move the right small hinge consistently.[09:30 - 12:00] Segment 3: Behind the Scenes (The Foundations)I am applying every single one of these principles behind the scenes right now as I build the foundations for what is coming next for this community. I am taking small, specific actions every day to bring three beautiful projects to life:Fashion Over 50: The Bloom Within Wardrobe. We are redefining what it means to dress, feel, and show up authentically in our fifties. No rules, just true personal alignment.New Content Delivery. I am working on brand new courses and bite-sized mini-training sessions designed to give you actionable practices, not more theoretical fluff.The Retreat. [Lowers voice playfully] Okay... lower your voice, because this is a "shhhhh" situation. We are only sharing a tiny bit right now, but we are officially looking at a Southwestern Ontario location for our very first live, in-person event.I've been thinking a lot about what to call this retreat experience. I want it to reflect that feeling of stepping out of the hustle, dropping the armor, and anchoring into your true power. I'm playing with a few titles, and I'd love for you to sit with these:The Grounded GatheringThe Aligned ReturnThe Sanctuary PracticeWe aren't sharing anything else just yet, but the foundation is being poured.[12:00 - 13:00] Conclusion & Call to ActionYou don't need a 90-day gimmick. You just need to look at today and ask yourself: What is the small hinge I can move right now? What is the "something" that is infinitely better than "nothing"?Here is my call to action for you today: I want to hear from you. Which one of these truths hit you hardest today? Was it that you can't outsource your pushups? Was it that your feelings aren't decision-making criteria?Take a screenshot of this episode, share it to your stories, tag me, and tell me the one unsexy, practical thing you are going to do today anyway—even if you aren't motivated.Thank you for being here, for leaning into the real practice with me, and I will talk to you next week.Episode Summary: In Episode 211, we are throwing out the wellness industry playbook. No marketing gimmicks, no costly garbage supplements, and absolutely no 90-day magical transformations. Instead, we are diving into the unsexy, beautiful reality of what it actually takes to build your life: real practice, radical prioritization, and understanding that consistency isn't a personality trait—it's a choice. Plus, get a top-secret behind-the-scenes update on what's coming next for the community (including a whisper about a Southwestern Ontario location!).In this episode, we discuss:Modeling real rest and prioritization after a heavy week of neuralgic treatments.Why motivation is a myth and why your feelings shouldn't be your decision-making criteria.The power of "something is better than nothing" and why specificity is your ultimate superpower.A sneak peek into Fashion Over 50: The Bloom Within Wardrobe, new mini-trainings, and a top-secret retreat update.Connect with Me:Share this episode on Instagram/Facebook and tag me with your breakthrough!www.sonyajanisse.comsonyajanisse@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/sonyajanisse

Join the 2026 free summer joy challenge for moms!   Do you ever feel like you've gotten so busy taking care of everyone else that you've lost touch with yourself a little bit?   In this episode, Whitney sits down with social worker and author Amy Haydak for a conversation about the parts of motherhood we don't talk about enough. They dive into the identity shifts that happen when we become moms, the pressure to hold everything together, and why so many women feel guilty admitting that motherhood can be both beautiful and really hard at the same time.   Amy shares simple ways to reconnect with yourself when life feels overwhelming, along with insights on emotional regulation, asking for help, and paying attention to what your mind and body might be trying to tell you before you hit burnout. They also talk about the unrealistic expectations many moms carry and why taking care of yourself isn't something you earn, but rather something you need.   If you've ever missed parts of who you were before motherhood, felt stretched too thin, or wondered how to show up for yourself while showing up for everyone else, this conversation is for you. Press play and join us for a heartfelt discussion about motherhood, self-compassion, and finding your way back to yourself.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: Why so many moms feel like they've lost themselves in motherhood The pressure to be everything to everyone Grieving past versions of yourself while embracing who you're becoming How to recognize the signs of overwhelm before burnout hits Why asking for help can feel so hard The connection between self-care and emotional regulation Modeling healthy emotions for your children Finding small ways to reconnect with yourself in busy seasons Letting go of perfection and embracing self-compassion Reflection question to ponder: What do I need right now?   Learn more about 1:1 coaching with Whitney - book a 15-minute Spark Session   Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l 5 Days to Less Stress, More Satisfaction l Tend to Your Soul Toolkit l 10 Soulful Journaling Prompts | Electric Ideas Podcast   Connect with Amy: Website | Facebook | Book: Unwritten Stories: A Mother's Journey on Becoming | Cycle Breaker Course

In this episode, Rocky sits down with restaurateur and creative Olivia Constance for a deeply honest conversation about what it looks like to keep going: through divorce, through a pandemic, through building three restaurants and raising two boys all at the same time. Olivia opens up about the six weeks between opening Fount Board & Table and COVID shutting the world down, and what it taught her about working beside fear instead of waiting for it to leave.Together they dig into why healing isn't a finish line, why bravery isn't something you acquire but something you access, and what it really means to move through every room as one integrated person. This episode is an invitation to stop chasing the version of wholeness that means no more wounds, and to find belonging in the mess of being fully, honestly human.Episode Highlights with Timestamps:00:03 – The Gift of Feelings: Why blocking emotions prevents us from receiving the gift they're trying to give00:37 – Modeling for Children: How parents who avoid processing ruptures teach their kids avoidance by default01:50 – Integrating Motherhood and Work: Why Olivia's roles as mother and business owner can't be compartmentalized — and why she stopped trying07:45 – Opening Fount Board & Table: Six weeks before COVID, one-year-old at home, and the decision to plan for 18 months when everyone else planned for two weeks10:51 – Finding Connection in Crisis: Handwriting notes of love between strangers during the pandemic and what it revealed about the human tether13:12 – Healing as a Process: The shift from viewing healing as an endpoint to understanding it as something woven into the ongoing story16:12 – Accessing Bravery: What Olivia told her son about inner strength — it's not something you acquire, it's something you access20:17 – Moving as One Person: Finding a low center of gravity and showing up as Olivia everywhere — not nine versions of her, just one28:28 – Working with Fear: The lesson COVID handed her — you either don't do the thing, or you do it scared.

Do you ever look at your child in the middle of a meltdown and wonder: Is this because of me? Did they learn this from me? Did I somehow pass this on?In this episode of the Building Resilience Podcast, Leah Davidson looks at how to bring nervous system awareness into family life without it becoming one more overwhelming thing on your plate. Whether your kids are toddlers, teenagers, or in their 20s, the principles Leah covers apply, and the entry points for change are more within reach than you might think.Leah walks through the science of why children develop the nervous system patterns they do, from temperament and epigenetics to the power of co-regulation and repair. You will learn why your own regulated nervous system is the most powerful parenting tool you have, how to teach age-appropriate body awareness, and why repair after a rupture matters more than being calm all the time.We will explore:Children are born with a temperament that shapes how their nervous system responds from day one.Prenatal stress and early experiences play a layered role in wiring a child's stress response system.Co-regulation is the most powerful thing a parent can offer at any age.Naming nervous system states (Team Hyper, Team Hypo, Team Resilient) gives kids language without labeling them.Building safety cues and predictable routines helps the nervous system practice regulation daily.Modeling self-awareness and repair out loud teaches children more than any lesson ever could.LINKS AND RESOURCES:COMMUNITYMIDLIFE NERVOUS SYSTEM REWIRE COMMUNITY

Most people think they have a financial plan. But when you ask what that plan actually is, the answer is usually: "Some mutual funds, ETFs, a broker… and hopefully retirement works out." That is not a financial plan. Today, on Financial Detox, Jason and Alex break down the massive difference between simply owning investments and having a true, interactive financial plan designed around your life, taxes, spending, goals, and long-term decision-making. You'll see how real planning works: Modeling lifetime income and spending Stress testing for volatility and inflation Analyzing taxes and future cash flow Testing retirement scenarios in real time Creating clarity around what you can actually afford The goal is not just portfolio growth. The goal is freedom, confidence, and the ability to make decisions without fear. What we cover in this episode:

In this episode, we're talking about echolalia, what it really is, what it's doing, and why so many autistic children communicate this way. For years, many educators and therapists were taught to reduce echolalia or move children "past it." But research, autistic voices, and deeper understanding of gestalt language processing have helped shift that thinking in important ways. Echolalia is not meaningless repetition. It is communication. Today's conversation explores: what echolalia actually is the difference between immediate and delayed echolalia how gestalt language processors acquire language differently why scripts and repeated phrases often carry deep meaning what educators can do instead of trying to eliminate echolalia how to support communication in more affirming and responsive ways Because every echo carries meaning. And when we stop trying to eliminate it, we can finally start listening. In This Episode, You'll Learn • What echolalia actually is and why it matters • The difference between immediate and delayed echolalia • What Gestalt language processing (GLP) means • How GLPs acquire language differently than analytic language processors • Why scripts and repeated phrases often carry emotional meaning • Common signs a child may be a gestalt language processor • Why echolalia should not be treated as meaningless repetition • How echolalia supports regulation, processing, requesting, protesting, and connection • Why declarative language is often more supportive than constant questions • How to model language from the child's perspective • Why AAC and visuals can support clearer communication • How to shift from correcting echolalia to understanding it Key Takeaways • Echolalia is communication, not a behavior to eliminate • Many autistic children naturally process language in chunks or gestalts • Scripts often represent feelings, memories, or emotional experiences • The words a child says may not always be literal, but they still carry meaning • Questions can increase pressure for many gestalt language processors • Modeling without correction creates safer opportunities for communication growth • Pronoun reversals are often part of chunk-based language learning • Children deserve communication support that honors their natural language style • Curiosity and connection matter more than perfection Signs a Child May Be a Gestalt Language Processor Echolalia or scripting Pronoun reversals Strong musicality or memorized songs Rewatching the same scenes repeatedly Rich intonation patterns Long jargon strings with emotional tone Repeating phrases tied to emotional experiences Try This • Reduce the number of questions you ask during play and routines • Use more declarative language like "Mmm, cookie" or "Let's go outside" • Model phrases from the child's perspective • Notice repeated scripts and look for patterns around when they appear • Watch body language alongside echolalia for additional communication clues • Respond to the meaning behind the script, not just the words themselves • Support communication with visuals and AAC when needed • Pause and allow processing time instead of filling every silence Resources Mentioned Meaningful Speech https://meaningfulspeech.com/ More Than Words by The Hanen Centre https://hanen.org

This week, Mark talks with Phil Root about the differences he sees between teaching using modeling methodology at the high school level and the college level. They talk about Phil's experience helping to adapt modeling materials for physical science to the Next Generation Science Standards, and how much he enjoyed building a storyline for those units. They talk about the advanced modeling workshops, including the new materials Phil helped to develop for them, and the various topics covered. They finish with Phil's advice for folks just starting out on a modeling instruction journey. Guests Phil Root Phil Root taught high school chemistry and physics at Chandler High School from 2004-2013, and has been teaching chemistry at Scottsdale Community College since 2013. Phil teaches using modeling methods at the college level, and also leads modeling workshops. He helped to develop the physical science curriculum for Next Generation Science Standards and worked with Levi Torrison to develop a thermodynamics modeling workshop and extend the Chem 2 workshop to a full three week course. Website Highlights [11:05] Phil Root: "AMTA was actively engaging students before it was cool." [17:08] Phil Root, on advanced modeling workshops: "you will have activities, labs, facilitation experience that you can take with you directly back to your classroom the next year and put it to place right away to build your storyline in your classroom and make it stronger." [19:13] Phil Root: "My goal now isn't to get my students to solve a problem a certain way or to get an answer. It's to probe their thinking about the relationships that they're using or how are they making sense of the mathematical relationships they're using or the conceptual frameworks that they're building."

#719: Most of us spend 93 percent of our time indoors, and it's making us sicker, more tired, and less productive than we realize. Dr. John La Puma is a physician and researcher who studies what happens to the human body when it's indoors too much. He joins us to explain the science behind what he calls the indoor epidemic: the chronic diseases, burnout, insomnia, and cognitive decline that stem from a life lived almost entirely inside. Dr. La Puma walks through the specific biological mechanisms at play. Indoor living disrupts your circadian rhythm and bombards your brain with more screen time than it can process — what he calls "digital obesity." Too many pixels, he says, burn out your brain the same way too much sugar burns out your metabolism. Burnout isn't a character flaw. It's a biology problem. The good news: the minimum effective dose of outdoor time is just two hours a week in a green or blue space. And it doesn't have to be a national park. The park down the street counts. We get into the specifics — morning light, circadian rhythm, deep sleep, and why 10 minutes outside before you check your phone can improve focus, sleep quality, and even how big the world feels. Dr. La Puma explains why "just get outside more" misses the point: light has a dosage, a timing, and a location, the same way a financial strategy has specific mechanics. For knowledge workers in cities, we talk through the real-world friction — Manhattan apartments, extreme heat, early wake-ups before sunrise — and what to do when those conditions make outdoor time inconvenient. There are practical workarounds, and Dr. La Puma covers them. The episode closes on a reframe: health and productivity aren't in conflict. Better sleep, more natural light, and regular time outside don't slow you down. They make the hours you do work more effective.

What does it take to be a woman with a loud voice in a world that keeps telling you to be quiet? In this episode, host Talia Mashiach sits down with Avital Chizhik-Goldschmidt — journalist, rebbetzin, and co-founder of the Altneu Synagogue on Manhattan's Upper East Side — for a conversation about ambition, authenticity, and what it really means to lead. Avital's path has been anything but conventional. A Russian-born writer who published her first viral essay at 20, landed bylines in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Vogue, and Foreign Policy, and spent years as a features editor and news editor before pivoting to co-build one of New York City's fastest-growing Orthodox synagogues — all while navigating the deeply complex terrain of being a bold female voice in the frum community. This episode is about far more than one woman's story. It's a frank, urgent conversation about the cost of conformity, the crisis of female spiritual leadership in Orthodox communities, and why, if we don't change, we're going to lose an entire generation of women.

A daughter of Russian-Jewish immigrants, she grew up in Highland Park, New Jersey, in a deeply literary home, and knew from childhood that she wanted to be a writer. She studied at Stern College for Women (Yeshiva University) and went on to build a distinguished career in journalism, with bylines in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Vogue, Foreign Policy, The New Republic, Glamour, Haaretz, and The Forward, where she served as features editor. She later served as news editor at The Real Deal, covering New York City politics and real estate. Avital is also the co-founder of the Altneu Synagogue, an Orthodox congregation on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, which she built alongside her husband, Rabbi Benji Goldschmidt. What began in 2020 as a living room minyan of 40 people has grown into a community of 722 member families — known for its intellectual rigor, inclusive spirit, and vibrant women's section. The shul has become a model for engaged, differentiated community building in the modern Orthodox world. A sought-after speaker and thought leader, Avital is currently at work on her first book. She is passionate about female leadership in the frum community, the importance of authenticity, and helping women reconnect to a rich inner spiritual life.

Welcome back to Raising Godly Girls, the podcast where we equip and encourage you to raise daughters with courage, character, and Christ-centered confidence.  In today's conversation, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose pull back the curtain on one of the most influential leadership environments your daughter will ever experience—your home. While leadership is often discussed in boardrooms, classrooms, and public platforms, this episode brings it right to the kitchen table, the car ride, and the everyday rhythms of family life.  Natalie begins by exploring the idea of "leadership style" and how modern parenting frameworks attempt to define it. But for Christ-followers, the model is clear—Jesus Himself. His leadership wasn't rooted in control, status, or power as the world defines it, but in humility, service, and sacrificial love. This counter-cultural approach challenges parents to rethink what it truly means to lead well.  Rachael shares honestly about the tension many parents feel—wanting to serve their families while also empowering their children to grow, contribute, and develop character. Together, she and Natalie unpack how a Biblical Worldview reshapes leadership in the home, shifting it from performance-driven parenting to purpose-driven discipleship.  Through wisdom from AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay, along with practical insights inspired by trusted ministry voices, this episode offers a refreshing and deeply grounded vision for family leadership.

Somewhere along the way, so many women stopped feeling like their life was actually theirs.Between running a business, raising kids, supporting a partner, caring for aging parents, and carrying the emotional weight of everyone else's needs, it's easy to end up stuck in survival mode — exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering where you went.In this heartfelt conversation, Lianne Kim sits down with longtime friend and pediatric chiropractor turned Joy Coach, Dr. Ali Miller, to talk about what's really happening beneath the surface for burned-out moms and women entrepreneurs.Drawing from more than two decades of working with moms, Dr. Ali explains how chronic stress impacts the nervous system, why “just take a break” isn't enough, and how tiny moments of connection, movement, and joy can begin to regulate the body and help women reconnect with themselves again.Together, they unpack the identity shifts that happen throughout motherhood, the pressure women feel to constantly give to everyone else, and why reclaiming joy is not selfish — it's essential.This episode is a reminder that you are not failing. You are likely just depleted. And sometimes the path back to yourself starts with five intentional minutes.In this episode, you'll discover:Why so many moms and women entrepreneurs feel stuck in “survival mode”The hidden nervous system impact of constantly caring for everyone elseWhy self-care days often don't work when you're deeply burned outHow motherhood changes your identity in every season — not just when kids leave homeThe connection between nervous system regulation and joySmall, practical “joy resets” that take less than five minutesWhy meaningful friendships and connection matter more than ever in this stage of lifeHow to model joy, boundaries, and self-worth for your childrenWhy reclaiming your joy is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your familyTimestamps:00:00 – Introducing Dr. Ali Miller and the journey from chiropractor to Joy Coach02:00 – Why motherhood is emotionally and physically exhausting05:00 – The therapist question that changed Ali's perspective forever07:00 – The identity shifts moms experience as children grow09:00 – What it feels like when your life no longer feels like your own10:00 – Why “just take a break” doesn't actually solve burnout11:00 – Understanding the nervous system: survival mode vs. regulation14:00 – How survival mode shows up in your business, body, and relationships17:00 – Why joy becomes inaccessible when your nervous system is overwhelmed18:00 – Simple five-minute nervous system resets anyone can do20:00 – The surprising healing power of friendship and connection24:00 – Reconnecting with old friends and relationships in a new season of life26:00 – Creating your personal “joy list” and rediscovering what lights you up29:00 – What to do when you feel too overwhelmed for even one more thing31:00 – Modeling self-worth and joy for your children34:00 – Why movement and exercise regulate more than just your body35:00 – Inside Dr. Ali's Joy Reset Kit36:00 – Final advice for women stuck in burnout and survival mode38:00 – Where to connect with Dr. Ali MillerLinks mentioned:Joy Reset KitWebsite: https://www.thejoycoach.ca/Instagram: @the_joycoach—‌Connect with me:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/liannekimcoach  Instagram: @liannekimcoachJoin the Mamas & Co. community to get access to valuable resources and the support of likeminded mompreneurs and mentors: https://www.mamasandco.com Instagram: @mamasandcoPodcasting support:https://theultimatecreative.com 

Editor's note: In our first BioHub pod with Priscilla and Mark they discussed their acquisition of EvoScale, led by Alex Rives, who is now Head of Science at BioHub. With ESM-1 they trained language models on millions of protein sequences drawn from across life, with a simple “next token” objective: predict the amino acids that have been randomly masked out, based on the context of the rest of the sequence. But they soon found that these models also learned biological structure and function, including properties the model had never been explicitly shown AND that this ability scales predictably with compute, leading to ESM2 and ESM3.Today, Alex announced ESMFold 2, an open scientific engine to power prediction, design, and discovery across protein biology.Building on Cryo-EM data (discussed in the CZI pod), ESMFold2 reports state of the art performance on protein interactions, especially antibodies, a critical modality for therapeutics, and evidence that inference time scaling is also working across five targets in cancer and immunology.In a nod to that other famous AI x protein folding project, they are also releasing an atlas of 6.8 billion proteins, and 1.1 billion predicted structures, which you can play around with on their website. We are honored to work with them for this huge release!One of the refrains we've heard on the Science pod has been that protein folding, materials design, cellular biology, etc. are very different problems from Language Modeling. They definitely are. Yet Alex Rives and the ESM team at BioHub just released a preprint and model, demonstrating that vanilla BERT-like transformer models trained on sufficiently large and diverse data sets can beat specialized models like AlphaFold3 on some of the hardest protein-related problems. Andrew White had a great segment in our first LS-Science episode that explained how mind blowing AlphaFold2 was when it was released in 2020: it suddenly solved problems on a GPU on your desktop that DESRes had built custom-ASIC supercomputer clusters to solve. John Jumper and Demmis Hassabis received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this work.AlphaFold2 took advantage of an very clever observation: if multiple species co-evolve pairs of mutations, this implies that the mutations correspond to parts of the protein that are close in 3d space. This is usually shorthanded as MSAs (multi-sequence alignments), and is the key insight which makes AlphaFold2 so effective.Like other inductive biases, however, it hurts generalization.Scale-pilled before it was coolIf you take a look at the timeline for scaling laws for LLMs and release of structure prediction models, the ESM team notably doubled down on their MSAs-be-damned approach after AlphaFold2 released. This obviously requires a great deal of belief in the scale hypothesis.Why the conviction?ESM developed at a time when many of the scaling laws and the “Bitter Lesson” were proving increasingly correct. AlphaFold2's wild success must have been both exciting and bitterly disappointing. But using MSAs mean that the model is is dependent on training data that contains MSAs in order to be accurate in a given domain. For things like antibodies that don't have MSAs to train on, AlphaFold tends to do poorly.ESM takes a different approach: learn the relationship between different proteins by unsupervised training on as much diversity as you can find (sound familiar?) and then correlate that back to structures know from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and other sources. In other words, a World Model.World Model for proteins“World Model” is a hype term that I define like this:Use unsupervised training to learn abstract patterns from the data:* The abstraction should be semantic - novel constructions represent things that obey the rules of the real world* The abstraction should be compositional - recombining different patterns leads to novel and often valid constructions* The abstraction should support generalization - it predicts things in the real world it wasn't trained on Once you have a world model, you can attach “heads” to it for downstream tasks: predict properties of a protein, decompose its functional features, or search the representation for proteins that meet design criteria. The two big models BioHub just released under MIT license map directly onto this:* World model → ESMC (a model trained on 2.8 billion sequences)* Structure-prediction head → ESMFold2One of the interesting ways the world model can “predict things” is to generate proteins sequences and then measure the predicted properties, such as binding affinity, in the lab. Alex talks in the episode about validating some of the harder molecules they predicted in the wet-lab. Very cool!Another way is to use mech-interp techniques such as Sparse Auto Encoders (SAEs) to extract semantic features from your model, and then find novel features that predict unknown biology. I won't spoil this part for you: it was one of the highlights of the episode for me!A cell is a computerWe have all heard that genes are like computer programs, but usually the analogy fizzles after that. Of course genes are transcribed into RNA and RNA is translated into proteins, so genes are programs for building proteins, but that carries the analogy only to “binary digits are programs.” Here's a better analogy: you can think of the cell nucleus as a storage device / storage controller, the ribosome as a JIT-compiler and runtime, and the semantic features that we learn from our world model via SAEs as functions, proteins as processes that interact together in workflows (signalling pathways) to produce behaviors and outputs (phenotypes). Like functions, the SAE features have a hierarchical composition from local, secondary and tertiary structures (mimicing protein structure), but also motifs that are conceptual, such as membrane integrations, disordered regions and disulfide bonds. As we learn to compose these features we into novel protein designs, we move further towards programmable biology.

What if our learners could practice success before they ever step into the real moment?I'm bringing you a conversation that completely reframed the way I think about video modeling, independence, and skill building. We're talking all about self-video modeling and how technology is creating more personalized, neurodiversity-affirming ways to support communication, daily living skills, and behavior regulation.Dr. Rachel Khasky-Levy and Rinat Hitelman share how their work with The Babel Group and Wide Therapy is helping clinicians bridge the gap between therapy and real-world implementation. What stood out to me most was the idea of helping learners visualize themselves already succeeding. Whether it's requesting a favorite snack, transitioning between activities, completing vocational tasks, or building communication skills, this approach focuses on possibility and confidence instead of correction.I also loved hearing how self-video modeling can support learners who may not yet be able to demonstrate a skill independently in real life. By creating personalized visual rehearsals, clinicians and families can give learners repeated exposure to success in a calm, supportive way that feels meaningful and functional.This conversation reminded me why I've always loved using video modeling in therapy. It's practical, engaging, and incredibly empowering for our students across ages and settings.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:How self-video modeling differs from traditional video modelingWays to target communication, vocational, and daily living skillsUsing visualization to reduce challenging behaviorsWhy personalized tech tools can increase independence and confidenceMentioned In This Episode:The Babel GroupWide TherapyVoiceittEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

In this episode, we're talking about something that often gets overlooked in early language development: symbolic sounds and exclamatory words. The "vrooooms," "uh-ohs," "wheees," and "mooos" that many children use before traditional words are not meaningless sounds. They are real communication. This conversation explores why these early sounds matter so much, especially for autistic preschoolers, minimally speaking children, and children just beginning their communication journey. We'll talk about: ●      why symbolic sounds are often easier for children to produce than traditional words ●      how exclamatory words help build joint attention and connection ●      why modeling without pressure matters ●      how these sounds support regulation, engagement, and communication ●      simple ways to naturally model symbolic sounds during play and routines Because before words doesn't mean before language. Language is already there. In This Episode, You'll Learn • What symbolic sounds and exclamatory words actually are  • Why sounds like "moo," "uh-oh," and "beep beep" count as meaningful communication  • How symbolic sounds are often easier for children to produce than traditional words  • Why these sounds are especially powerful for non-speaking and minimally speaking autistic children  • How exclamatory words support joint attention and imitation  • Why communication grows through exposure, not expectation  • The importance of modeling without pressure or correction  • How repetition supports language learning and regulation  • Simple play-based ways to model symbolic sounds throughout the day  • Why joyful connection matters more than perfect responses Key Takeaways • Language begins long before traditional words emerge  • Symbolic sounds and exclamatory words are valid forms of communication  • Early communication often develops through emotionally meaningful sounds and shared experiences  • Joint attention and connection are foundational to language learning  • Modeling language without pressure creates safer opportunities for communication growth  • Repetition supports learning, regulation, and confidence  • Communication should never be measured only by spoken words  • Joy, connection, and shared attention are powerful language-building tools Try This • Add symbolic sounds naturally into play routines like cars, animals, bubbles, or sensory bins  • Use exclamatory words during real moments: "uh-oh," "wow," "whoa," and "oops!"  • Pause after modeling a sound and give the child space to process  • Match your facial expressions and tone to the sound you're modeling  • Let the child's interests guide which sounds you use  • Repeat sounds often without turning them into a drill or demand  • Focus on connection and shared enjoyment instead of performance Simple Ideas Mentioned in This Episode ●      The falling toy: "Oh no!" ●      Car ramps with "wheee!" and "vroooom!" ●      Surprise bags with animal sounds ●      Books with exaggerated reactions and exclamatory words ●      Peek-a-boo animal games ●      Sound books with one symbolic sound per page Related Resources & Links

Have you ever wondered what the real difference is between a child who grows up to walk with God and one who walks away? I want you to stop right now and receive this truth — because the answer is not found in a program, a school, or a church curriculum. It is found in what is being modeled inside the home.Hannah raised Samuel with prayer, intentionality, and a life surrendered to God. Before Samuel was even born, she was on her knees. And when he came — everything she poured into him carried him into one of the most significant callings in Israel's history."For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him. Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord; as long as he lives he shall be lent to the Lord." — 1 Samuel 1:27-28 (NKJV)Let these words resonate within your heart today. Hannah did not raise Samuel for herself. She raised him for God. From the very beginning, his life had a divine trajectory — and she built that trajectory through what she modeled before him. Take comfort in this — you do not have to be a perfect parent. You have to be a praying, pursuing, surrendered one.Now look at Eli. A priest. A man with full access to the house of God. And yet —"Now the sons of Eli were corrupt; they did not know the Lord." — 1 Samuel 2:12 (NKJV)Understand this — they did not know the Lord. Not because the Lord was unavailable. They lived in the temple. They were unavailable to the Lord because Eli honored his sons above God and refused to correct them. What Eli tolerated at home, God judged in public. What Hannah cultivated at home, God rewarded in public.Your child is not just watching what you say about God. They are watching what you do when no one else is looking. They are absorbing your prayer life, your worship, your integrity, and your reverence. They are becoming what you are modeling — right now, in your home, every single day.May this powerful teaching from 1 Samuel fill your heart with holy intentionality and remind you that the greatest pulpit you will ever stand in is the one inside your own home.

In this Circles Off Q&A, Rob Pizzola is joined by Plus EV Analytics, Matt Buchalter, for a deep dive into sports betting modeling — how it actually works in practice, what separates good models from bad ones, and how sharp bettors think about building and evaluating their edge. This episode is built around 10 of the toughest modeling questions pulled directly from Circles Off content and community discussion. The conversation covers how to start a model from scratch, when a model is strong enough to bet real money, and how to deal with early season uncertainty like small samples, roster turnover, and regression questions. Rob and Matt also explore what matters more between getting the mean right or the distribution right, how to think about closing line value thresholds, and how to separate variance from a broken edge when results turn against you. They also get into Bayesian vs frequentist thinking, how professional bettors evaluate their models over time, and which inputs are often overrated or underrated when building a betting model. For anyone serious about sports betting models, market pricing, or long-term edge creation, this is a practical, sharp breakdown from two experienced voices in the space.

American award-winning writer Zinzi Clemmons, author of What We Lose and Freedom, talks about her South African mother, Dorothy — an activist and teacher who devoted her life to serving underprivileged Black children. Dorothy teaches us to raise independent daughters by modelling feminism, not just talking about it; to demand respect in every relationship; to show our children what healthy love looks like; and to always have the means to leave if a relationship no longer works. Zinzi also reflects on grief, writing, the realities of apartheid, and the deep connection between teaching and mothering.
