Welcome back to Stories From the River, where Charlie Malouf continues his conversation with Bradley Sullivan, the General Manager of the award-winning Albemarle Aces, for an in-depth discussion on leadership, motivation, and what it takes to build a high-performing retail team at Broad River Retail. Against the energetic backdrop of the Charlotte Motor Speedway, Bradley shares how his obsession with performance metrics, consistency in routines, and a deep investment in the growth of his Memory Makers have been the driving forces behind his team's repeated successes, including multiple top store awards and coveted cheeseburger trophies for sleep sales excellence. He highlights the importance of embodying the business, emphasizing the motto "be the business," and fostering a culture that values both results and personal connections. Bradley delves into the unique culture of the Albemarle Aces, describing it through the metaphor of poker—where patience, strategy, and embracing the hand you're dealt are essential to winning. He reflects on meaningful moments, like witnessing Memory Makers achieve personal financial milestones and seeing them feel at home in the store's nurturing environment. Motivated by the desire to create a legacy of excellence, Bradley stresses the importance of passionate leadership, the impact of teaching others to surpass their own expectations, and a love for "playing the game." The episode wraps up with Bradley sharing personal anecdotes about family, literature, and the comeback journey that's defined his return to Broad River, leaving listeners inspired to lead with heart and a competitive spirit.

Anna Dalton"Non ti innamorare degli amanti"Bompiani Editorewww.bompiani.it“Quando si soffre non c'è tempo per stupirsi, per riflettere. Quando si soffre si soffre e basta.” E nulla sembra poterci salvare, nemmeno i libri: lo sa bene Eva Marsili, che sta lavorando a una nuova traduzione del Conte di Montecristo ma è continuamente distratta dalla sua fame d'amore, che la porta a cercare ciò che desidera nelle persone sbagliate. Quando si soffre si avrebbe bisogno di qualcuno che guidi, ascolti, protegga... Forse è per questo che quando lo incontra, una sera d'estate, nel parco di Villa Sciarra, Eva non ha dubbi: è un Angelo, ed è lì per lei. A differenza di tutti gli altri non vuole nulla se non ascoltarla, appassionarsi alla sua vita, esortarla a cercare, a volere di più. Le dà solo un consiglio, che suona come un ordine: non ti innamorare degli amanti. E lei, ovviamente, non sa rispettarlo... Perché Eva è una donna coraggiosa, disposta a percorrere le tappe del cammino che dall'inferno della dipendenza e della gelosia ci riporta alla cura di noi stessi. È un cammino difficile, ma l'Angelo ancora una volta le dà un consiglio prezioso: leggere poesia. “La poesia non giudica e concede spazio a tutti. La poesia si può comprenderla solo dopo che le cose si sono rotte. Prima no. Prima scivola. Ci vogliono le crepe per farla entrare.” In queste pagine Anna Dalton gioca con le parole e con gli archetipi, scrive un apologo lieve e affilato sul desiderio, sull'amore, sui nostri corpi dei quali non possiamo fare a meno e sulle nostre anime che nonostante tutto anelano a qualcosa di più grande. E mette in scena un Angelo che ha i tratti faustiani di un Lucifero innamorato, capace di salvare dalle onde del disamore la giovane donna che incontra perché “ci sono delle cose che un Angelo fa e che non sapevi si potessero fare. Le fa al tuo corpo ma anche alla tua anima e scopri che, forse, sono la stessa cosa.”Anna Dalton è una scrittrice e attrice italo-irlandese.Laureata in Lettere all'Università La Sapienza di Roma, ha studiato poi all'Actors Centre di Londra, diventandone membro. Ha lavorato in teatro e televisione, partecipando a serie televisive di successo come  L'allieva, tratta dai romanzi di Alessia Gazzola. Ha esordito nella narrativa con L'apprendista geniale (Garzanti, 2018).Tra gli altri titoli, La ragazza con le parole in tasca (Garzanti, 2019), Tutto accade per una ragione (Garzanti, 2020), Non ti innamorare degli amanti (Bompiani, 2025).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

“The greatest polluting element in the earth's environment is the proliferation of electromagnetic fields. I consider that to be a far greater threat on a global scale than warming, or the increase of chemical elements in the environment.” Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! In this episode, we're diving into The Body Electric by Robert O. Becker, a fascinating read on how electricity flows through the body and the ways it might influence healing, health, and even consciousness. Becker, a pioneer in bioelectricity, lays out connections between injury recovery, electromagnetic fields, and the body's natural currents. We cover a wide range of topics including: The link between magnetic storms and spikes in psychiatric admissions How the body's healing process relies on electric signals Diet, metabolism, and avoiding the “swamp” Modern concerns about EMF exposure from wifi, Bluetooth, and power lines The crossover between bioelectricity and mitochondrial theory And much more. Please enjoy, and make sure to follow Nat, Neil, and Adil on Twitter and share your thoughts on the episode.

Nat, Neil, and Adil catch up and share some recent long reads that delivered a good payoff. (4:11) Today's discussion is on The Body Electric by Robert O. Becker, a deep dive into the body's electrical systems and what they mean for healing, health, and human potential. (8:59) Psychiatric admissions spike after magnetic storms... why is that? And how injuries can disrupt your body's electrical current, slowing down the healing process. (15:05) We explore the overlap between Becker's ideas and theories on mitochondrial efficiency, including connections to Ray Peat's metabolic philosophies. (20:57) Energy flow, metabolism, and how different diets affect the body's ability to generate and use energy. (25:25) Why you should avoid the “swamp”. With all the conflicting diet advice out there, how do we know what to eat? (28:50) Mitochondria and the electrical nature of cells. While Becker doesn't directly mention mitochondria, modern science connects the dots. (33:05) Neil shares his findings from using an EMF meter around the house. We talk about everyday EMF exposure and what to avoid. (37:49) What does Deep Research have to say about some of the claims in the book? (43:37) Living near high-voltage power lines, earbuds, and lifestyle changes we've made (or not made) since reading the book.  (48:55) Bluetooth vs. wifi: Is one worse than the other in terms of EMF exposure? (52:07) Nat, Neil, and Adil wrap up the episode with chats about what book is next on the podcast. Thanks for listening to this episode!

Summary Dr. Elisa Chiang discussed strategies for creating predictability in unpredictable economic times, emphasizing that the fundamentals of the economy are generally sound, with current uncertainty stemming from external factors. She highlighted the importance of understanding economic interrelations and the potential impact of challenging international relationships. Dr. Chiang suggested that individuals and businesses should evaluate their dependencies and explore ways to become more self-reliant. For physicians, this includes recognizing the value of their skills and exploring options beyond traditional employment, such as private practice or becoming invaluable within their current roles. She also emphasized the importance of diversifying income streams and managing personal finances to reduce reliance on a single paycheck. The conversation also covered strategies for physicians to increase their income, such as specializing in high-value procedures, leveraging support staff, and improving efficiency. Dr. Chiang advised questioning fixed mindsets, challenging existing beliefs, and experimenting with new approaches to adapt to unpredictable times. She also discussed tax planning, investment strategies, and the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective when dealing with market volatility. For those nearing retirement, she recommended assessing risk tolerance, diversifying portfolios, and building a cash cushion. Dr. Chiang offers one-on-one coaching to help individuals navigate their financial situations and achieve their financial goals. Her podcast, 'Grow Your Wealthy Mindset,' provides financial literacy in bite-sized pieces, helping listeners build the knowledge and mindset needed to create financial stability. Chapters Introduction to Predictability in Unpredictable Times Elisa Chiang was invited to discuss creating predictability in unpredictable economic times. The discussion is framed as non-political, focusing on the factual unpredictability of the world. The goal is to provide strategies for individuals to make their financial situations more predictable. Economic Fundamentals and Global Interdependence Chiang stated that the fundamentals of the economy are still good, unlike the issues in 2008 with banking regulation. The current uncertainty is attributed to the actions and statements of certain individuals. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the complexities of economics and global interrelations. Anytime decisions are made from an independent place, you start to realize we're actually not independent at all. Challenging Independence and Embracing Interdependence Chiang suggests challenging the idea of complete independence and recognizing interdependence on others. Asking questions about dependencies and self-reliance is valuable, but actions must be carefully considered. Many people feel dependent on their paycheck, but physicians have options due to the physician shortage. Separating the ability to produce income from the current job can create stability. Creating Independence and Managing Control The discussion covers the mentality behind creating a private practice and the desire for independence. It's noted that even in private practice, there is still interdependence on systems and people. The focus should be on how to become independent and self-determining results in situations where you don't have control over all of these things. It's important to understand what you can and can't control. Strategies for Exerting Independence Chiang suggests becoming an entrepreneur within your job to make yourself invaluable. This involves attracting patients directly and highlighting your value to the practice or institution. Employers care about generating income, so making yourself invaluable in this area is crucial. Taking care of personal finances and creating multiple income streams reduces reliance on a single paycheck. Translating Value into Income The inherent value of experience, training, and knowledge is highlighted. Physicians translate this value into income through their actions. The trap of trading time for money limits income potential unless value is translated into different income streams. The discussion explores ways physicians can generate income outside the classic RVU model. Increasing Income within the Physician Realm Specializing in specific procedures or surgeries can elevate income. Leveraging other people, such as nurse practitioners, can double clinic output. Hiring scribes can increase productivity and collections. Physicians should work at the top of their income level, delegating tasks to others. Mindset Shifts for Unpredictable Times Adopting a growth mindset can help individuals respond more effectively in unpredictable times. Questioning current beliefs and challenging the status quo is important. Comparing oneself to others who are thriving can provide insights and motivation. Willingness to spend money to make money and accepting failure are key to success. Helping Individuals Deal with Change Questioning the truth of current situations and exploring potential changes is crucial. Experimenting with small changes and learning from others can lead to improvements. Advocating for necessary resources, such as dedicated scrub techs, can increase efficiency. Believing in the potential for change and presenting a clear case for it is essential. Financial Viability in Private Practice A simple formula for private practice success is income minus expenses minus tax burden. All three factors can be influenced in different ways. Leveraging people, doing more cases, and optimizing income streams are ways to increase income. Tax burden can be managed through various strategies. Tax Planning and Side Businesses Every time is unpredictable, so framing the mindset accordingly is important. The more we think like, yeah, the world is doing whatever it's worlding. The world is doing whatever it's doing. We can make our own predictivity, then we don't have to keep thinking like, oh, it's unpredictable, and we have no way to affect it. It's just always unpredictable. As a W-2 employee, there are limited options for tax reduction. Having a side business can provide opportunities to write off personal expenses. Side hustles should align with passions and translate into value and money. Time Management and Productivity Finding something else that you need to find you having to find more time in order to do something helps you structure your time so that you are most efficient with your time. Limited time resources require careful management. Calendaring and time-blocking can improve efficiency. Having a list of tasks that can be done in 10-15 minute intervals can boost productivity. Managing Retirement Funds If retirement is 10 years or more away, continue with the financial plan and consider contributing more. Maximize retirement accounts and explore other savings options. Buying stocks when they are on sale can be a great strategy. Establish a risk tolerance and adjust investment strategies accordingly. Investment Strategies and Risk Tolerance The stock market tends to go up over time, especially with more people investing. Investing during downturns can lead to better outcomes. Even in retirement, there is still a long investing career ahead. Avoid panic selling and maintain a long-term perspective. Retirement Planning and Withdrawal Rates Assess investment strategies and consider shifting to a more conservative portfolio if nearing retirement. Develop a cash cushion to avoid selling stocks during the first few years of retirement. Understand what money is for and focus on enjoyment and security. Consider a Monte Cristo analysis to assess the chances of running out of money. Dr. Chang's Coaching and Podcast Chiang offers one-on-one coaching to help individuals reach their financial goals. She provides a judgment-free zone to discuss finances and job transitions. Her podcast, 'Grow Your Wealthy Mindset,' provides financial literacy in bite-sized pieces.

Visit our Substack for bonus content and more: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/jordan-mechner As a kid in the 80's, Eli fell in love with games on computers like the Apple II, Commodore 64, and later the Amiga and Macintosh. One of the very first games he played was called Karateka, which was inspiring for the realistic movements of its digital karate antagonists, even on a black-and-green Apple II monitor. Our guest today, Jordan Mechner, created Karateka while an undergrad at Yale University in 1984, and it went on to be a commercial success. He followed it up with the game Prince of Persia (you'll hear a clip from the soundtrack in the introduction, which Jordan's father composed and which Jordan invented a way to transpose onto the Apple II's tinny speakers before game soundtracks were widespread on the machine). Jordan documented the creation of the game in a wonderful published version of his diaries called The Making of Prince of Persia, and we spoke with him about how he taught himself the skills to build successful video games in a pre-internet era, why he journaled about his work process (and what it taught him), and about his new graphic novel Replay, a memoir recounting his own family story of war, exile and new beginnings. Book & links mentioned Journals: Steven Soderbergh, Michael Palin, Brian Eno Hobonichi Techo John August The World of Yesterday, Stefan Zweig Bio Jordan Mechner is an American author, game designer, comic book artist, and screenwriter, best known for creating the iconic video game Prince of Persia in 1989. He relaunched the series with Ubisoft in 2003 and wrote the original screenplay for the film adaptation produced by Disney in 2010, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. This work is considered a timeless classic and has spawned a global transmedia franchise, with over 20 million games sold to date. Since 2017, Jordan has been living in France, where he made his debut as a full author with his autobiographical graphic novel Replay. Among the albums he has written are Monte-Cristo (with Mario Alberti), Liberté! (with Étienne Le Roux and Loïc Chevallier), and Templiers (with LeUyen Pham and Alex Puvilland), which appeared on the New York Times bestsellers list. His latest works were first published in French, with English editions following in 2024. Jordan's video games, such as Karateka (1984) and The Last Express (1997), are recognized for their cinematic storytelling and innovative use of rotoscoping. In 2017, he received the Pioneer Award from the International Game Developers Association. Jordan also wrote and directed Chavez Ravine: A Los Angeles Story, an award-winning documentary broadcast on PBS. He has published his development journals, The Making of Karateka and The Making of Prince of Persia, as well as an adaptation of the Persian tales Samak the Ayyar. A passionate artist, he keeps a sketchbook journal, regularly sharing his thoughts and drawings, a testament to his love for art and storytelling. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This is a premium episode on Design Better.
