You've been waiting for the right moment to start. For things to feel easier. For someone to tell you you're ready. But here's the truth: the pain of regret will always hurt more than the pain of failure. And the only way forward is through. This episode is 14 minutes of the lessons that took 39 years to learn. From getting fired and heartbroken to losing half a business overnight, these are the moments that built everything. The hard truths about cutting out losers, betting on yourself, and learning to smile when pressure shows up. Because winners don't avoid the fight. They get excited by it. In this episode, you'll learn: Why getting fired or pushed out is often the greatest gift you'll ever receive and how it forces you to finally bet on yourself Why losers don't like winners and how hanging around people who haven't built anything guarantees you won't either How getting into rooms where you're the dumbest person changes everything and why asking how you can help opens doors you didn't know existed The pressure test: how winners react when the vice grips them and why learning to smile when it shows up is the only way to build something real Why regret is a greater disappointment than failure and how the worst thing that can happen isn't losing, it's never trying Stop waiting. Start moving. The person you're meant to become is on the other side of the thing you're avoiding. ___________ (00:00:00) Introduction: The 30-Year Truth About What Actually Matters (00:01:04) The Winding Path: Why Getting Fired Was the Greatest Gift (00:02:17) Heartbreak and the Decision to Choose Yourself (00:02:50) The Grit Factor: God Gives You What You Can Handle (00:03:13) Cut Them Out: Losers Don't Like Winners (00:04:34) Work Harder Than a Crackhead: The Obsession Test (00:05:50) Get in Rooms Where You're the Dumbest: The 100 Million Dollar Lesson (00:07:03) Your Light Shines on Someone Else's Darkness: Setting Boundaries (00:08:18) Do Not Be Afraid: Faith, Flow, and Killing the Mosquitoes (00:09:58) Winners Love Pressure: The Mexico City Story and Game Time Mentality (00:12:32) Regret Is Greater Than Failure: The CEO Who Almost Lost Everything ___________ MORE FROM BIGDEAL

Broadcast on KSQD, Santa Cruz on 6-18-2026:>/p> Dr. Dawn opens with Virginia Tech research showing yellow fever mosquitoes can learn to associate DEET with blood meals after just four pairings, with over 60% of trained mosquitoes lunging at DEET alone. She emphasizes using DEET at sufficient concentration since under-application could teach mosquitoes a "life lesson" that compromises one of our best protections against malaria, dengue, and Zika. A controversial new theory from the University of Bonn proposes that iron-rich macrophages in the pigeon liver serve as the long-elusive magnetic compass. Pigeons given drugs that wiped out their liver macrophages became completely disoriented when released on a cloudy day, though critics argue the trace iron is too weakly magnetic and birds may have been agitated by the drug itself. A COVID-era crowd-movement study found that in 32 of 33 trials, people preferred to turn counterclockwise regardless of handedness or culture (Spain and Japan). Animals show no such bias, suggesting a uniquely human biochemical asymmetry—Dr. Dawn speculates this may relate to left-hemisphere language centers near the inner ear, and notes racetracks worldwide run counterclockwise. A caller in Ben Lomond reports mouth irritation from FYGG nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste. Dr. Dawn suspects bystander ingredients (flavorings, paste-consistency agents) rather than the hydroxyapatite itself—which acts as remineralizing "grout" filling tiny tooth cracks—and recommends switching to a different fluoride-free brand like Tom's after the caller confirmed reaction on rechallenge. The same caller asks about turmeric liver toxicity. Dr. Dawn explains that reputable companies following good manufacturing practices stay within 5-10% accuracy on dosing, and her recommended dose (one teaspoon turmeric, one-eighth teaspoon black pepper, around 5g daily) stays far below toxic levels. Curcumin inhibits NF-kappa-B, the master switch for inflammatory cascades. An emailer in Bonny Doon asks about treating chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Dr. Dawn recommends electrical acupuncture which works more than half the time, combined with methylated B12 (2,000 micrograms daily), methylated folate (1,000 micrograms twice daily), alpha lipoic acid (300mg twice daily, also effective for tinnitus), and acetyl-L-carnitine (1,500mg daily). She also recommends photomodulation devices using 635nm red light with near-infrared. A caller raises magnetic field effects on humans. Dr. Dawn discusses human adaptability, referencing Chernobyl black moths that increased melanin epigenetically and ongoing efforts to upregulate radiation-resistance genes via mRNA for future space travel. The conversation turns to evolution of unique human hair patterns, with Dr. Dawn proposing sexual selection (armpit/pubic hair for pheromones) and neoteny (women's facial smoothness resembling infants triggering protective responses) as explanations. Dr. Dawn responds to a crowdsourced question about why Santa Cruz "makes people weird," attributing it to the area's low penalties for aberrant behavior and high tolerance for nonconformity. She explains how mirroring within small subgroups creates internal conformity even amid outward "weirdness," with sixties counterculture as a foundational influence. For another crowdsourced question on vitamins for women in their mid-twenties, Dr. Dawn recommends prenatal vitamins because they include extra iron for menstruating women plus adequate B vitamins. For those eating standard American diets or in dorms, she suggests B100 complex, 500mg calcium, and vitamin C.

Timothy P. Whitt is a small business owner, franchisor, and leadership expert whose business mentors include termites, mosquitoes, and stinging bees. Really. After more than 45 years in the pest-control industry, Tim — founder and CEO of Pied Piper Pest and Lawn — says every entrepreneur can learn a great deal from the problems insects and critters create for homeowners — and the methods professionals use to eliminate or control them. In his new book, Infested: End Workplace Drama, Stop Toxic Employees, Build a Thriving Small Business, Tim explains how business owners can spot human "pests" before they cause serious damage, how to distinguish between employees who need coaching and those who need to be let go, and why leadership — not just hiring — is often the key to preventing workplace infestations. Whether you manage five employees or five hundred, Tim's practical insights on hiring, training, accountability, and culture can help you build a stronger organization and avoid the kinds of personnel problems that drain time, morale, and profits.

This weather is the perfect condition for mosquitoes to thrive. Standing water from the rain and warm humid temperatures. That means it's that time of year where you may be lathering up in your bug spray when you're outside. DEET is most commonly used to repel mosquitoes in bug spray, but new research has found that mosquitoes could learn to associate DEET with dinner. Joining Minnesota Now is one of the authors of the research, Clément Vinauger, who is an associate professor of biochemistry at Virginia Tech.

Mosquitoes are frequently called the world's deadliest insect. They kill more people every year than any other creature by spreading diseases like malaria, West Nile virus and Zika. In an effort to combat the disease carrying-bug in the U.S., Google is creating an army of sterile male mosquitoes by infecting them with bacteria. It's hoped that over time these mosquitoes will lower the population of mosquitoes that carry some illnesses. James Gallagher, BBC health and science correspondent, explains how the process works and the reasons Google is interested in this area of research. We also hear from Dorcas Wangira, a global health reporter, about the release of genetically modified mosquitoes in Djibouti. She explains why it's important to engage with local communities about the issue.

Google's Debug program is releasing 64 million Wolbachia-infected sterile male mosquitoes into parts of Florida and California over four years to combat disease-spreading mosquitoes.The Sterile Insect Technique works by having these males mate with wild females, causing their eggs to fail to hatch (via cytoplasmic incompatibility), which gradually crashes the local mosquito population over generations.The approach has shown strong results in past trials (90 percent+ reductions), but it carries risks such as imperfect male/female sorting by AI and potential ecological disruptions if mosquitoes are fully eliminated from an area.Let's go through the details together.

Google is seeking EPA approval to release millions of male mosquitoes in Florida and California as part of a plan to reduce disease-spreading mosquito populations. Also, the infection can be deadly and is driven by a particular type of fungus which lives in the southwestern United States. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Google apparently wants to unleash 32 million mosquitoes in parts of the US, which somehow led us to ask Sydney's most important question: where would you release them here? Tim had a very specific grudge against a traffic nightmare in Petersham, listeners nominated everything from road intersections to entire suburbs, and one caller absolutely unloaded on Casula. Along the way, we learned why the mozzies are being released in the first place, got distracted by Niall Horan jokes, and discovered a genuinely shocking list of the deadliest animals on Earth. Turns out mosquitoes are a lot scarier than sharks... and dogs somehow made the list too.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It sounds like “more mosquitoes,” but the plan is actually to collapse the mosquito population from the inside using biology. The goal is: fewer disease-spreading mosquitoes over time—not more.

In this episode, Michael tackles two seemingly unrelated topics: a proposed plan to release genetically modified mosquitoes in Florida and California, and the myth of the impending climate apocalypse. Michael takes a critical look at the facts behind these issues, separating fact from fiction and myth from reality. The conversation starts with a discussion about a plan to release 32 million genetically modified mosquitoes in an effort to control the invasive Aedes aegypti species, which is resistant to traditional pesticides. Michael argues that this method, known as the Sterile Insect Technique, has a 77-year track record of success and is not a new or unproven technology. He also points out that the opposition's concerns are misplaced, as the technique has been used successfully in the past to eradicate other pests. Michael then shifts gears to discuss the topic of climate change, specifically the idea that we can simply "unplug" from the global oil market to control gas prices. He argues that this is not a viable solution, as oil prices are set by the global market, not by individual countries. He uses the analogy of a giant lake to explain how oil is traded globally, and how the US is already the largest producer in the world. Michael also touches on the topic of climate change scenarios, specifically the worst-case scenario known as RCP 8.5, which has been widely publicized as a reason for alarm. However, Michael reveals that the scenario's authors have since admitted that it is implausible, and that the scenario was falsified by reality almost as soon as it was written. Michael encourages listeners to tune in to hear more about this topic and to learn how to separate fact from fiction in the discussion around climate change. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in critical thinking, climate change, and the importance of separating fact from fiction. Michael's unique perspective and expertise make for a engaging and informative conversation that will leave listeners with a new understanding of these complex topics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Grab your bug spray and zip up your mosquito-proof jumpsuit, because this episode of Wow in the World is buzzing with science, chaos, and one very complicated game of “Mosquito Tag!” illustrating why mosquitoes bite certain people! Perfect for kids and listening with the whole family. On a hot summer evening, Mindy, Guy Raz and the crew gather outside for what should have been a simple game of tag…until a swarm of mosquitoes crashes the party and turns the whole thing into a deep dive into the weird and wonderful world of mosquitoes and why they choose to make a meal out of you!Why do mosquitoes seem obsessed with biting some people while completely ignoring others? Are all mosquitoes blood-sucking pests? And why does Thomas Fingerling somehow attract every mosquito within a five-mile radius? Along the way, Mindy and Guy Raz reveal the surprising truth about mosquito biology! And the science gets even wilder when the crew dives into a real-life experiment inspired by researchers at Georgia Tech. These scientists wanted to understand exactly how mosquitoes track down humans, so they created a special mosquito-testing room filled with clues mosquitoes love… as it turns out, mosquitoes don't just randomly fly around looking for snacks—they combine multiple clues to zero in on their targets like tiny flying detectives!Through hilarious roleplay, disastrous experiments, and Dennis's increasingly dangerous game rules, the crew discovers how mosquitoes use sensory clues to decide who gets bitten next. This episode for kids and families also explores how scientists hope this research could lead to better mosquito traps and new ways to stop the spread of dangerous mosquito-borne diseases around the world.It's an episode crawling with outrageous comedy, gross mosquito facts, pretend blood-sucking, and enough buzzing sound effects to make you itch just listening!
