How does having cancer as a child impact the way you live as an adult? Uber successful chef and restauranteur Josh Niland doesn’t do things in halves (no, literally, have you read his book The Whole Fish?). From opening a restaurant at 26, to becoming the first Australian to win the James Beard Book of the Year award when he was just 30, Josh’s creativity came from a place of desperation to explore every opportunity presented to him.

You feel called to something. You have vision, maybe even a clear sense that God put this in you. And still, weeks go by and you haven't touched it. Not because you're lazy. Because something underneath is running the show. In this episode, Sammi and I sit down after five months away from the mic and talk honestly about one of the most common struggles we hear from the coaches we work with: how to stay motivated and consistent when you don't have pressure forcing you, and how to know when lost motivation is actually a triggered state and not a character flaw. Together, we explore the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, what Maslow's hierarchy actually tells us about why some people self-sabotage to feel something, and why so many driven Christians flip between white-knuckling their way forward and drifting in what we call greasy grace. We talk about what it looks like to function from a triggered state while trying to build something, why an eight-year-old version of you can't make powerful content or hold a coaching session well, and what it actually takes to get regulated and return to your real self before you take the next step. We also get into why rushing to pray your pain away is often just self-abandonment with spiritual branding, and what it means to let God meet you in the middle of the mess instead. This episode is for anyone who: Feels genuinely called but loses steam the moment life gets busy or the pressure lifts. Struggles to stay consistent without someone external holding them accountable. Knows the vision but keeps getting hijacked by fear of failure, fear of judgment, or perfectionism before they can act on it. Is carrying the tension between dying to self and actually being allowed to want something. Desires to coach or lead from a place of overflow rather than performance and striving. Wants practical, grounded ways to take care of their heart so they can show up fully for the people depending on them. At its core, this is a conversation about what it means to stay connected to yourself and to God so that discipline and motivation become a natural overflow, not a grind you have to white-knuckle your way through.

Every manager and every parent has met the same wall. Someone who won't engage, won't budge, won't do the thing, no matter how hard you push or how much you offer. Dr Justin Coulson has spent two decades inside the research explaining why pushing and bribing rarely work, and what actually does. Justin is a psychologist, bestselling author, host of the TV show Parental Guidance, and father of six daughters, and his work sits inside self-determination theory, one of the most evidence-based bodies of research in psychology. In this episode, I sit down with Justin to unpack the three basic psychological needs that shift someone from doing something because they have to, to doing it because they're genuinely on board. We also get into his early morning breathwork practice, why he believes boys are the solution rather than the problem, and a story involving his wife, a health retreat and a news website that will make you want to throw your phone into a river. If you've ever managed someone who just won't engage, or parented a kid who won't do anything without a fight, this conversation will change how you think about motivation altogether. Justin and I discuss: The four levels of motivation, from extrinsic to intrinsic, and why chasing intrinsic motivation in a team or a family is setting the bar too high The three basic psychological needs, relatedness, competence and autonomy, and why autonomy is often the linchpin Why "autonomy" doesn't mean freedom, and what it actually means in practice The three simple questions Justin uses with his own kids and with employees to work out where someone sits on the motivation continuum How he uses breathwork and carbon dioxide tolerance as a daily practice in building resilience What's really going on with boys today, and why Justin believes a healthy model of masculinity is the answer Key quotes "When people understand the value in the activity, when people buy the why, they will choose to do it autonomously, which means that you don't have motivation problems." "Most motivation problems aren't motivation problems at all. They're rationale problems." Connect with Justin Coulson on Instagram, LinkedIn and his website.

The more you've built, the harder it gets to want the next thing. You've crossed milestones a past version of you only dreamed of and instead of momentum you're finding yourself busy with the safe stuff, the tasks you've already mastered, while the thing that would actually move your practice forward keeps waiting.If you've been asking yourself, "Why am I not motivated?" this episode is for you. I've seen the pattern in myself and some of my most successful clients: the mundane, comfortable tasks robbing us of our next level goals. Today I'm showing you why the old fuel that got you here won't get you to the next level.We'll look at why the urgency that pulled you out of scarcity isn't available anymore and how hiding in mastery can look exactly like productivity. The strategies that built your first six figures were built for different stakes, and that mismatch is fixable.By the end of this episode, you'll choose the one move that matters this week for that next-level goal and know how to keep busyness at bay so you can make real progress.

By Tim Martens - There are times in our lives when nothing seems to be working out, so much so that we contemplate giving up. This state of mind can affect physical, mental and spiritual aspects of our lives. By following five simple steps, we can motivate and improve ourselves to increase our participation in the
If you've ever tried to force yourself out of procrastination, you know how well that works. You can know exactly what to do. You can have the time. You can want the result so badly it aches — and still find yourself answering emails, returning something to Nordstrom, or deciding the junk drawer has to be dealt with right now. That isn't laziness. Laziness would be doing nothing, and you are doing a great deal. You're just not doing the one thing that matters. Which means the problem was never your character. It's the state you're in. In this first Rewire Friday, D'Arcy takes you inside a training room where a woman she calls Sarah volunteered her procrastination for a demonstration and landed on the honest word for it: not incapable, not lazy. Stagnant. And instead of asking how to make her motivated, the trainer asked the question almost nobody asks — what would get you out of the state you're in? Inside: what a state actually is and why naming one changes what you can do next, the cost of turning a behavior into an identity, the difference between the states that push you and the states that pull you — and why procrastination is neither, which is exactly why willpower slides off it. Ten minutes, one rewire, one question to ask before Monday. Timestamps: 2:27 — The word that changes everything: not incapable, not lazy — stagnant 3:00 — The trainer's question instead of "How do we get you motivated?" 3:32 — Why wanting the result isn't enough—and the difference between desire and the state that creates action 4:08 — Why motivation is rarely the next state, and finding the bridge that gets you there 6:11 — The cost of turning a behavior into an identity: "I procrastinated, so I'm lazy" 6:57 — States that push you, states that pull you, and why procrastination is neither 8:15 — Chaining anchors: what change work actually looks like, and why D'Arcy isn't teaching it here 10:42 — What Sarah said when it was over—and why the goal is freedom, not productivity 11:50 — The one question to ask this week instead of yelling at yourself

“Two persons, one in Krishna consciousness and the other in material consciousness, working on the same level, may appear to be working on the same platform, but there is a wide gulf of difference in their respective positions. The person in material consciousness is convinced by false ego that he is the doer of everything. He does not know that the mechanism of the body is produced by material nature, which works under the supervision of the Supreme Lord. The materialistic person has no knowledge that ultimately he is under the control of Krishna. The person in false ego takes all credit for doing everything independently, and that is the symptom of his nescience.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Bhagavad-gita, 3.27 Purport)

Most speakers assume their audience is persuadable by good evidence. Psychologist Owen Fitzpatrick, who trained under NLP co-creator Richard Bandler and has travelled to over a hundred countries, including North Korea, Afghanistan and Iran, studying how belief actually forms, argues that's backwards. People believe what feels right, fits their identity, and keeps them inside their tribe. Evidence comes after, as justification.Owen built his reputation on charisma work (his book The Charismatic Edge argued charisma is an impression you create, not something you're born with) before moving into belief and propaganda with his new book Inner Propaganda, out 4 August. In this conversation, he lays out his DELP model (an expansion of Aristotle's ethos, logos, pathos to include demos — understanding your specific audience), explains why intelligent, critical-thinking people are often the most convincing propagandists to themselves, and draws a sharp line between persuasion, manipulation and propaganda that every speaker standing on a stage should sit with.We also get into why spontaneous, unscripted delivery reads as more truthful than polished delivery (with Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" as the example), and why AI's tendency to flatter you is quietly making this problem worse, not better.In this episode:Why charisma is built, not innate, and why it matters more now than when Owen wrote The Charismatic Edge in 2013The DELP model: demos, ethos, logos, pathosWhy perceived authenticity beats actual authenticity, and why spontaneity reads as truthWhy critical thinking doesn't protect you from bad beliefs (argumentation vs investigation)Motivated reasoning, naive realism, and sacred values: why smart people hold ridiculous beliefsThe difference between persuasion, manipulation and propaganda, and why every speaker is, to a degree, a propagandistOwen's practical tools: the belief audit, the feels right/fits in/makes sense framework, and E-Prime languageConnect with Owen on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/owenfitzp/The book and the special workshop are available at https://innerpropaganda.com, and you can discover more about Owen and his work at https://owenfitzpatrick.comFAQWhat is Owen Fitzpatrick's DELP model?The DELP model is Owen Fitzpatrick's expansion of Aristotle's rhetorical triad of ethos, logos and pathos. Owen adds demos, the requirement to understand the specific audience being addressed, alongside ethos (credibility and positioning), logos (logical structure and evidence) and pathos (emotional impact).What is Owen Fitzpatrick's book Inner Propaganda about?Inner Propaganda is Owen Fitzpatrick's book, to be released on 4th of August 2026, about how individuals generate their own propaganda internally through feelings, self-narratives and motivated reasoning. It argues that people convince themselves of beliefs the same way state propaganda convinces populations, through internal versions of state media, indoctrination and truth engineering.What is the difference between persuasion, manipulation and propaganda, according to Owen Fitzpatrick?Persuasion is the ethical attempt to change beliefs, attitudes or behaviour while genuinely caring about what the other person wants. Manipulation uses deception and serves only the persuader's own interests. Propaganda combines both, using every available tool of persuasion and manipulation to construct an entire reality for the audience.Why doesn't critical thinking protect people from believing false things?According to Owen Fitzpatrick, critical thinking and intelligence make people better at constructing airtight arguments (argumentation) rather than at genuinely investigating what is true (investigation). Motivated reasoning, a concept from psychologist Ziva Kunda, refers to people reasoning toward conclusions they already want to be true.What is naive realism?Naive realism is the belief that one's own perception of reality is objectively accurate and shared by anyone reasonable. Owen Fitzpatrick argues this prevents people from applying the same critical scrutiny to their own beliefs that they readily apply to beliefs they disagree with.What is E-Prime language and why does Owen Fitzpatrick use it?E-Prime is a form of English that eliminates the verb "to be," originally developed by David Bourland based on Alfred Korzybski's work on language and semantics. Owen Fitzpatrick uses it as a belief-flexibility tool: replacing "this is true" with "this seems true to me" builds in the possibility of revision.Visit https://strategic-speaker.scoreapp.com to take the 2-minute Strategic Speaking Business Audit and find out what's blocking you from getting more bookings, re-bookings, referrals and bigger fees.

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Oral Peptides for Appetite & Weight Loss, What Your Phase Angle Means for Your Cellular Health [0:00:00] Intro, Events Tease of the episode's themes: Segment 2: peptides and weight loss. Segment 3: phase angle and cellular health. Lung Coach event at Nutrition World – August 22 Mobile screening for early lung cancer detection. Emphasis that stage 1–2 lung cancer is often curable, stage 4 is not. Calcium score used to estimate plaque burden in arteries. Ed notes ~12 reasons for plaque formation, while most physicians focus on ~3. Mentions Dr. Kurt Dearing's book “Beyond Cholesterol”, covering broader causes of plaque. Financial health talk – August 22 (~11 AM) Michael E, financial planner, giving a free lecture on financial stability. Ed's point: two major life disruptors are declining health and declining finances, and they influence each other. Health Fair – October 24 Described as possibly the biggest health fair in the region. Features reps, free samples, circus‑like but “happy” atmosphere. [0:04:10] Restaurant Talk Light banter about Ed being a restaurant connoisseur and creature of habit. Restaurant recommendations via Ed's employee Fallon: Second Amendment / Second American (downtown). Hello Monty (special but reasonably priced menu). Ed's oxalate/joint pain story: Eating Purely Elizabeth cereal (high in oxalates: chia and other ingredients) triggered severe return of joint pain Discussion that some “healthy” foods can be nutritious but not healthy for everyone, especially for those sensitive to oxalates. Ed references his free oxalate ebook at theholisticnavigator.com and believes oxalates contributed to: His double hip replacement. Feeling old from age 50–65. Mentions OxyGuard supplement (recently restocked) and using 4 capsules/day to help clear excess oxalates (not as a license to keep eating high‑oxalate foods). Quick shout‑out to local farmers from Virginia End Farm selling at Nutrition World on Wednesdays (12–4), and that they've listened to every show. [0:8:55] Tease: Phase Angle & Seca Machine Ed previews Dr. Kurt Dearing's later segment on phase angle: A single number reflecting resilience and proximity to optimal health.. Mention of Be Well Labs / BeginwithLabs.com – Body Blueprint: Advanced lab panel: 50+ predictive health indicators. Pitch: more than a standard physical, actionable results. Price example: $275 vs typical $500, highlighting savings. [0:13:35] Segment Intro: Peptides & Weight Loss Framing: Peptides as one of the hottest trends in 47 years of Ed's experience. Shift from grey‑market injectables to safe, effective oral peptide powders. Ed has seen impressive feedback on an oral peptide powder for weight loss in early customers. [0:13:47] What Are Peptides? Protein basics: Proteins are long chains of amino acids essential for structure, function, and regulation. Peptide defined: A shorter chain of amino acids broken off from a larger protein. Lego analogy: Individual Legos = amino acids. Tall tower of Legos = full protein. Kid knocks tower over; a small intact stack (~8 Legos) that falls off = peptide. Each peptide has a “fingerprint” determined by: Length (how many amino acids/Legos). Sequence (order: e.g., red–red–blue–blue vs red–blue–red–blue). Processing (how it was broken off or created). Clarified: peptides are not primarily for fixing protein deficiency, but more for targeted signaling effects in the body. [0:20:52] Yeast‑Derived Oral Peptide for Metabolism & Drug Comparisons Endogenous peptides: made naturally inside the body. Exogenous peptides: introduced from outside (drug injections, supplements). Ozempic / GLP‑1 drugs: Yes, Ozempic is a peptide. These drugs are lab‑made peptides made to mimic natural body peptides. Peptides are not synthetic drugs in concept; they are peptide structures the body uses, though drugs are engineered. Focus on Ancient Nutrition “Active Peptide for Metabolism”: Contains a yeast peptide derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (brewer's yeast), broken from a larger yeast protein. Mechanism & effects: Influences hunger and satiety signaling: Increases leptin (satiety hormone). Decreases ghrelin (hunger hormone). Reported benefits: Reduced hunger and cravings (including boredom eating). Weight loss primarily from fat mass, not muscle mass. Comparison with GLP‑1 injections (semaglutide, etc.): Injections often cause muscle loss (e.g., “Ozempic face,” loss of facial muscle/fat). Yeast peptide research shows fat‑centric weight loss. Clinical results quoted: After 2 months, average daily caloric intake decreased by ~600 calories. Leads to meaningful weight loss, depending on baseline intake and muscle mass. [0:24:25] Dosing, Timing, Stacking & Safety Considerations How to take it: Once daily, typically in the morning to curb cravings throughout the day. Users report: easier recognition of fullness during meals. Stacking with cortisol peptide product: Ancient Nutrition also has a cortisol‑active peptide capsule for stress support. Same amount of yeast peptide per serving; research supports doubling the yeast peptide dose, so: You can use the metabolism powder + cortisol peptide together. Stress, cortisol, and weight: Chronic stress and high cortisol promote fat gain. Stacking stress support + appetite control may help body composition. Onset of effect: Reagan reports she personally noticed benefits around 2 weeks (quicker than many supplements that take 60–90 days). Cost & practicality: Approx cost around $50 for 30 days. Positioned as a cost‑effective alternative or complement to expensive injections. Side effects vs injectables: Reagan's hospital experience with GLP‑1 side effects (e.g., gastroparesis, impaired gastric motility, some requiring tube feeds or IV nutrition). Oral yeast peptide described as gentler, working with natural processes, not “forcing” the system. [0:30:09] Yeast Source, Candida Concerns & Usage Notes Yeast strain: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (not S. boulardii, and not pathogenic/candida). Clarifications: Will not cause yeast infections. Will not feed candida overgrowth. Taste & preparation: Chocolate flavor described as surprisingly good, even for those picky about chocolate. Temperature-sensitive: Must be mixed with cool liquid (NOT hot coffee/tea or hot beverages). Leaving it in high heat (e.g., hot car) can degrade activity. [0:36:03] Segment Intro: Phase Angle & Seca Scan with Dr. Kurt Dearing Discussion of: Seca medical‑grade bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) machine (~$12,000). It's commonly in hospitals/clinics, but rarely publicly accessible; Nutrition World and Be Well Labs both have one. Dr. Dearing's consult package: Includes consult + Seca scan + follow‑up visit + follow‑up Seca scan (~$195, promo if listeners mention the show). [0:37:35] What Is Phase Angle? (Deep Dive into Measurement & Meaning) What the Seca scan measures: Total body fat and visceral fat. Muscle mass (overall and by body segment). Phase angle (key focus). Phase angle basics: BIA sends low‑level alternating electrical currents through the body. The phase shift (time/angle difference) between current and voltage is measured. That phase shift = phase angle. Higher phase angle → healthier cell membranes, better cellular integrity, more muscle mass, better hydration. Lower phase angle → often malnutrition, chronic disease, frailty; can be used in dialysis, cancer patients, etc., to predict outcomes. Used as a longevity biomarker: Akin to an “EKG of your cells”. Can function as an early indicator for overall health trajectory, barring accidents Dr. Dearing's personal story: First scan categorized him as “bronze” on Seca's scale: Levels: None → Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum. Motivated him to increase strength training and eating healthy. Subsequent scan: improved from bronze → gold. Ed's anecdote: Friend and gym member Fred now tests as platinum, after sustained gym and nutrition efforts. Phase angle as a guide: If results are poor, that's a signal to upgrade the plan (diet, exercise, supplements). If phase angle improves (e.g., 4 → 5), it proves the plan is working, beyond just “feeling” better. [0:43:47] How to Improve Phase Angle (Practical Protocols) Key drivers and interventions: 1. Strength Training & Exercise Primary recommendation: resistance/strength training to build muscle mass. 2. Adequate Protein Ed's guideline: ~1 gram of protein per pound of body weight (men; women can often target ~¾ g per pound). Protein shakes often needed to hit targets. 3. Hydration & Electrolytes Proper cellular hydration improves phase angle. Maintain consistent fluid intake and electrolyte balance (sodium, potassium, magnesium). Avoid excessive diuretics/water pills. Dehydration causes phase angle to drop sharply. 4. Inflammation Control Systemic inflammation lowers phase angle and contributes to chronic disease. Tools: Anti‑inflammatory diet (Mediterranean‑style, high in omega‑3s). Omega‑3 fatty acids. Curcumin. Vitamin D optimization. Also includes sleep quality and stress management. 5. Foundational “Core Four” Supplements (Nutrition World concept) Covering: magnesium, zinc, vitamin D, B vitamins, etc., as baseline. 6. Targeted Add‑ons Creatine (supports muscle and cell energy). HMB (beta‑hydroxy beta‑methylbutyrate) – often paired with creatine. CoQ10 (mitochondrial and cellular energy). Phosphatidylcholine / BodyBio PC – to improve cell membrane integrity. [0:52:45] Closing Reflections Ed reads and comments on an article by Dr. Sircus about: Many doctors being “misaligned”: intellectually capable but no longer listening. Critique of: Over‑reliance on credentials. Under‑reliance on open‑mindedness and corrections. Emphasis that many clinicians are excellent listeners and deeply caring, but that institutional habits can discourage listening.

Ordinary Guys Extraordinary Wealth: Real Estate Investing and Passive Income Tactics
Foreclosures are spiking across America and every news outlet is asking the same question: is this 2008 all over again? In this episode, Sam Primm and Lucas peel back the curtain on the actual foreclosure data — state by state — and give you the truth Wall Street and the media aren't telling you.Foreclosure filings are up double digits year over year, and headlines are scaring homeowners and investors into thinking a housing crash is coming. But when you look at the real numbers, a completely different story shows up.
Karli and Alex Klintworth are a powerhouse husband and wife health coaching duo and the co-foudnders of Hi Energy health coaching. An engineer, former collegiate triathlete, and passionate nutrition educator, Alex became interested in metabolic and gut health after overcoming his own struggles with insulin resistance, chronic back pain, and SIBO. Through a combination of functional medicine, a ketogenic lifestyle, and extensive independent research, he restored his health and developed a deep appreciation for the role nutrition plays in preventing and reversing chronic disease. Karli's passion for nutrition was profoundly shaped by her mother's battle with inflammatory breast cancer. Watching her endure the devastating side effects of conventional cancer treatment—and finding little dietary guidance from her medical team—sparked a lifelong commitment to understanding the role of nutrition in health and disease. Motivated by both her mother's experience and her own health transformation, she immersed herself in the science of metabolism, inflammation, and whole-food nutrition. She believes nutrition should play a far greater role alongside conventional medicine and is passionate about helping others understand how dietary choices can support overall health, improve quality of life, and address the root causes of chronic disease. In this episode, Dr. Brian, Karli, and Alex talk about… (00:00) Intro (03:46) How Karli and Alex first became interested in metabolic health and nutrition (05:42) SIBO and gut health (09:10) The gut microbiome and overall health (21:10) How Karli and Alex began their health coaching and meal service businesses (25:48) Beyond macros (30:29) Exercise and nutrition (46:02) Cooking, grocery shopping, and nutrition (01:12:16) Outro For more information, please see the links below.

If you listen to this podcast then you care about people and planet and how we make it through this potential crunch point when all our crises mash together. But what if you knew you were not alone? What if you knew that almost everyone in our culture cares about this, they just don't know what to do about it? They don't have what this week's guest, Dr Liam Kavanagh, calls the 'Victory Stories' to show how we made it through. Liam is a founding Co-Director of the Climate Majority Project, an organisation that has worked since 2022 to extend climate action beyond the vocal minority of activists to the concerned but quiet majority. His social science background informs CMP's theory of change and strategy. He began his career as an applied economist in New York and Tanzania. Motivated by questions about ideology and cognitive dissonance in political economy, he completed a PhD in Cognitive Science at the University of California, San Diego. In 2016, he co-founded Life Itself, a European polycrisis-response network (we spoke to Sylvie Barbier from Life Itself a few weeks ago), and has authored two books and numerous reports. His latest reports: Mobilising Silent Majorities is one of the must-reads of this year. Please do download and read the pdf - at least the executive summary. This is a long, detailed, dynamic look at how many people really do care about the polycrisis. As he says, 'Across society, many people recognise serious risks—climate disruption, inequality, instability—but these concerns often stay private. The report identifies six “silent majorities” whose hidden views could shift what feels politically possible:The climate-concerned majority – Most people see climate change as a serious threat but rarely talk about it in daily life.The climate-concerned business majority – Business leaders see climate risks but hesitate to speak publicly.The reticent scientific majority – Scientists privately worry about worst-case scenarios but communicate cautiously.The decline- and collapse-concerned majority – Many fear overlapping crises, yet these concerns are rarely voiced.The depolarising majority – Citizens who favour cooperation over conflict are often drowned out by louder, polarising voices.The intrinsic-values majority – People prioritise family, community, and wellbeing, but economic pressures often prevent these values from guiding their lives.When concern remains unspoken, it appears weaker than it is. And when people feel alone in their worries, silence becomes the apparently safest choice.But it doesn't have to be like this. What if we were able to speak up in our communities of place, purpose and passion and let other people know they're not alone? That we are, in fact, a huge, huge majority? What if we were able to seed ideas out into the conversations that are happening on- and off-line so that we all acknowledge the system is not fit for purpose and all have good, workable ideas of how to fix it? What if we embodied the 'Victory Stories' of this time and transformed our future? It's all to play for now, and here's someone with the ideas at his fingertips. Enjoy!

For most of the last two decades, the right of UK politics were all for climate action. Heck, in 2019 a Conservative Prime Minister signed us up to net zero emissions by 2050! But a few short years later both of the two major parties on the right are now very much against 'net "stupid" zero', and everything they think that means. What's going on? What are they trying to do? And - will it work? I'm joined by Becca Massey-Chase, Head of Citizen Engagement at the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR). Becca tells me the different attack lines that the right are using against net zero - whether they are persuasive to the average person, and what deeper stories they're tapping into. We discuss why the right has done such a reverse ferret on climate change, after decades of broad consensus - and how much of it is cynical politics vs sincerely held worldviews. And I ask: if some people's views about climate action can really shift that quickly - what does that reveal about how firmly any of us really believe what we think we believe about it?

Raymond Lavine is an extended care benefits advisor. He advises and designs long-term care benefits for families and LTC benefits for companies. Raised in the Hollywood Hills, Raymond grew up in a household shaped by global history. The son of immigrants who fled persecution and sought opportunity in the United States, he was introduced to perspectives beyond his immediate surroundings at an early age. Family travel across North America and Europe broadened his worldview, reinforcing the idea that lives, values, and challenges vary widely, an understanding that would later influence both his personal philosophy and professional approach.Following high school, Raymond made a choice that surprised many: enlisting in the U.S. Army. Upon entering airborne infantry service, he encountered environments and individuals far removed from his upbringing. Military life demanded cooperation, adaptability, and accountability, while service in Vietnam exposed him to loss, sacrifice, and the realities of vulnerability. These experiences left a lasting imprint, sharpening his empathy and deepening his appreciation for the burdens others carry.After completing his service, Raymond returned to education with renewed focus. Beginning at community college before transferring to the University of Southern California, he excelled academically, majoring in international relations with a minor in business. While he valued the rigor of his studies, he later reflected on the lack of formal negotiation training, a skill he came to see as essential in business and in navigating everyday human interactions.Lavine's professional path spanned commercial banking, mortgage services, and life insurance, culminating in his specialization in long-term care planning. A personal turning point emerged when caregiving challenges within his family revealed the financial and emotional strain that arises without preparation. Motivated by firsthand observation, he shifted his focus to helping individuals secure extended care solutions before a crisis strikes, preserving dignity, independence, and family stability.Today, Raymond's work centers on guiding people through conversations they often prefer to avoid, emphasizing understanding over assumptions. He advocates planning that protects not only assets but also careers and relationships, particularly as caregiving responsibilities increasingly affect working families. My approach is the belief that listening alone is not enough; it is about understanding.Dr. Kimberley LinertSpeaker, Author, Broadcaster, Mentor, Trainer, Behavioral OptometristEvent Planners- I am available to speak at your event.

n episode #447 of The Hormone Puzzle Podcast, our guests, Kelly Love and Allison Evans talk about Non-Toxic Living for Fertility. More about Kelly and Allison: Kelly Love is the co-founder of Branch Basics, a wellness and lifestyle brand creating cleaning products that prioritize human health. Raised on the standard American diet and surrounded by conventional household products, Kelly didn't experience the impact of reducing everyday toxins until her early twenties. After making simple changes in her home and daily routine, many of the "normal" issues she had dealt with for years — dry and itchy eyes, painful menstrual cramps, joint and muscle pain, and even body odor — disappeared. Motivated by that transformation, Kelly co-founded Branch Basics to help others create healthier homes and experience the power of pure as well. She lives in Jackson, Mississippi, with her husband and four children, and continues to educate on practical, accessible wellness. Allison Evans is the co-founder of Branch Basics, a wellness and lifestyle brand creating cleaning products that prioritize human health. After experiencing a severe health crisis in college that included chronic pain, PCOS, and motor impairments, Allison found herself on multiple medications with no real answers. A summer spent living with her aunt, Marilee Nelson, in the Texas Hill Country changed everything. By removing toxic chemicals from her environment and focusing on real, whole foods, her symptoms and cysts disappeared, transforming the way she viewed health. She later conceived and gave birth to four children naturally, something she was told would never be possible. Motivated by her journey, Allison co-founded Branch Basics to help others create healthier homes and thrive. She lives in Texas with her family and is passionate about helping others take steps toward lasting wellness. Thank you for listening!

Why does your business suddenly feel different—even though nothing has changed on the surface? More and more entrepreneurs are noticing the same thing. The strategies that once felt exciting now feel heavy. The goals that once fueled them don't carry the same energy. In this episode, Nicole explores why this shift may have far less to do with burnout or broken business models than most people think. Through the lens of Human Design and the approaching 2027 global transition, Nicole shares why so many people are feeling pulled away from hustle, performance, and old definitions of success. She explains how the changing energetic landscape is influencing the way we market, sell, create, and lead—and why trying to force yourself back into old ways of working may only create more resistance. You'll also hear Nicole's perspective on what the future of business looks like, why your brand must become a reflection of who you truly are, and the two powerful questions she believes every entrepreneur should be asking right now. If you've been wondering whether you've lost your motivation—or whether you're being guided toward a completely different way of building your business—this episode will help you see what's happening through an entirely new lens.

Most "healthy" drinks aren't what they claim—and your body feels it long before you realize why. In this episode, Justine Reichman sits down with entrepreneur Bryan Appio, founder of Dry Water, to unpack what really happens when you start paying attention to what's inside your hydration. After losing everything during the pandemic, Bryan hit a breaking point that forced him to rethink his health from the ground up—leading to a product built on transparency, not shortcuts. They dive into the hidden truth behind "natural flavors," why most electrolyte drinks are loaded with sugar or unnecessary salt, and how the wellness industry often prioritizes profit over clarity. But more importantly, this conversation shifts how you think about everyday choices: what you drink, how you fuel your body, and why simplicity might be the most powerful upgrade you can make. This episode will change the way you read labels—and the way you take care of yourself. Key Takeaways: Why "natural flavors" can hide dozens of unknown ingredients The real problem with most electrolyte and hydration drinks How small daily habits impact long-term health Why clean, simple ingredients matter more than marketing claims The mindset shift that turns failure into your next breakthrough If you've ever felt tired without knowing why—or questioned what's really in your food and drinks—this conversation will hit home. Meet Bryan: Bryan Appio is the founder and CEO of Dry Water, a next-generation hydration company committed to clean ingredients, transparency, and everyday wellness. A lifelong entrepreneur, Bryan previously built and exited an early staffing "gig economy" model, before redirecting his focus to health and sustainability after the pandemic exposed his own gaps in nutrition and hydration. Motivated by personal health challenges and a deep frustration with misleading "natural flavor" claims and sugar-laden sports drinks, Bryan spent years reverse-engineering the hydration category. He developed Dry Water as a daily wellness solution built on real fruit, plant-based ingredients, zero sugar, and no artificial additives, designed to support gut, brain, and metabolic health while minimizing reliance on pills and highly processed products. Under his leadership, Dry Water has grown from kitchen experiments to a national brand available in major retailers like Walmart, Walgreens, Target, and Kroger, reaching hundreds of thousands of customers largely through education-driven, word-of-mouth growth rather than heavy ad spend. Bryan's approach centers on regenerative business principles: investing in consumer education, prioritizing clean supply chains even when crops fail or costs rise, and refusing to compromise on non-negotiables around ingredient integrity. A strong advocate for women's sports and youth wellness, Bryan has partnered with League One Volleyball (LOVB) to bring cleaner hydration to thousands of young athletes and professional players, aligning performance with long-term health. Through Dry Water, he is demonstrating that it is possible to scale a profitable, high-growth CPG brand while honoring transparency, ethical sourcing, and the long-term well-being of people and planet.

If you keep waiting to feel motivated before you work out, start the routine, send the email, clean the house, post the content, or follow through on the thing you said you wanted, this episode is for you. In this episode, Allie breaks down why motivation never lasts, why waiting to "feel like it" keeps you stuck in the start-stop cycle, and why everything you want is on the other side of boring consistency. This is not about forcing yourself, ignoring your body, or pushing through burnout. It's about understanding the difference between real rest and avoidance, self-leadership and mood-led living, and why consistency cannot depend on a temporary feeling. You'll learn why motivation is fleeting, why your brain keeps returning to familiar patterns, why boring consistency builds self-trust, and how small, imperfect action creates identity evidence. If you struggle with staying consistent, following through, all-or-nothing thinking, procrastination, self-sabotage, or waiting until you feel ready, this episode will help you stop handing your future to your mood. And if you're ready to stop starting over and become the woman who actually follows through, come to Allie's free live class Tuesday at 11am PT: Stop Starting Over: The 5 Steps to Becoming the Woman Who Follows Through alliecasazza.com/stopstartingover
