Howdy, neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control. If you've lived in Jasper for more than five minutes, you know there's one weekend where the rumble of engines is louder than the mountain wind. I'm talking about the Sheriff's JeepFest, and it's rolling back into town this September! This event is near and dear to my heart because it's about more than just mud and metal—it's about our community coming together to “Crawl for the Kids.” Rev Your Engines for a Great Cause Mark your calendars for September 3rd through September 6th, 2026. The home base is right here at 8795 Hwy 53 East in Jasper. If you haven't been before, you're in for a treat. Sheriff Donnie Craig and the Pickens Sheriff's Office put on a show that draws folks from all over the country. Here's what's happening: The Obstacle Course: Watching these Jeeps navigate the rocks and mud right at home base is a sight to behold. Trail Rides: Hundreds of Jeeps heading out into our beautiful North Georgia mountains to tackle the terrain. The “Caring for Children” Mission: Every bit of the proceeds goes to help kids in need through the Georgia Sheriffs' Youth Homes, Special Olympics, and the Boys and Girls Club. Spectators are FREE! You don’t need a Jeep to come out and enjoy the food vendors, the music, and the incredible atmosphere. It's a family-friendly weekend that truly shows the spirit of Jasper. Off-Roading is Fun—Until the Bugs Start Off-Roading in Your Attic Now, while those Jeeps are busy tackling the mud, there's another kind of “off-roading” happening closer to home. As we get into late summer and early fall, the pests in North Georgia start looking for a dry place to hunker down. I've seen ants trail up a foundation faster than a Jeep on a flat stretch, and spiders set up shop in your garage like they're the event organizers. And don’t even get me started on termites—those guys don’t need a trail map to find the wood in your home! Listen… I want to be YOUR BUG MAN! When you see a Jeep stuck in the mud, you call a winch. When you see a pest problem getting out of hand, you call me. I use pet-friendly, common-sense methods because I know your furry friends are part of the family—just like mine. My Personal “Make You Happy” Guarantee I'm a man of my word, and I stand behind my work. Here is my promise to you: If you hire me to get rid of your pest problem and, at the end of 30 days, you are not 100% HAPPY, I will come back and retreat your home for FREE. If you're still not happy, I'll give you back every penny of your money, plus an additional $25.00 for your time and trouble. Period. So, head on out to Hwy 53 this September, cheer on the drivers, and help us support the kids. It's one of the things that makes Jasper the best place to live. But if you come home and realize your house has become a “fest” for roaches or ants, don’t you wait. Give us a call at 770-823-9202. Let’s keep the bugs out and the tails waggin’! See you on the trails, Fred Talley, Owner/Operator Faith Pest Control, Jasper, GA 770-823-9202The post Sherriff's JeepFest Coming To Jasper This September first appeared on Faith Pest Control.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Neighbors! A Royal Reminder from Your Local Bug Man By Fred Talley, Faith Pest Control Well, howdy neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control, right here in our beautiful corner of North Georgia. If you're like me, you're already looking forward to those long summer days and the community spirit that makes Jasper such a special place to call home. I'm writing to you today because there's a mighty big event coming to town that you won't want to miss. It's time to dust off your tunics and polish your armor, because the Ga. Mt. Charity Camelot-Fest is returning to Jasper this June! A Weekend of Medieval Magic in Our Own Backyard Mark your calendars for June 20 and 21, 2026. The festival will be held right here at the Chattahoochee Tech Conference Center (100 Campus Dr.). This isn’t just your average weekend outing; it's a full-blown trip back to the days of King Arthur. We're talking about: Live Knights and Performers: You'll see roaming bards, stage acts, and maybe even a wizard or two wandering through the crowd. The Artisan Market: Plenty of handcrafted treasures and traditional festival food (yes, you can feast like royalty!). Games for the Littles: From archery-style games to knightly quests, there's plenty to keep the kids entertained. A Great Cause: The best part? All the proceeds go directly to support our local Public Library. Cosplay is highly encouraged, so don't be shy about dressing up as a knight, a noble, or even a forest fairy. It's all in good fun for a great community cause. Don't Let Uninvited Guests Ruin Your Summer Feast Now, while we're all excited about the knights and the fair ladies coming to Jasper, there are some other “guests” trying to make their way into our homes this summer that aren’t nearly as welcome. I'm talking about those nasty North Georgia spiders, ants, and termites that think your kitchen is their personal banquet hall. Listen… I want to be YOUR BUG MAN! Nothing spoils a summer evening like finding a black ribbon of ants marching across your counter or hearing that “scritch-scritch-scritch” in the walls. Termite and pest control is serious business—it involves protecting your home, your family, and your four-legged friends. At Faith Pest Control, we don't just “spray and pray.” We use common-sense, pet-friendly methods to put the treatment where the bugs live and your pets don't. My Personal “Make You Happy” Guarantee I am so confident in my expertise that I'm willing to place MY NAME and MY MONEY on the line. If you hire me to get rid of your pest problem and, at the end of 30 days, you are not 100% HAPPY, I will come back and retreat your home for FREE. If you're still not happy, I'll give you back every penny of your money, plus an additional $25.00 for your time and trouble. Period. So, go enjoy the Camelot-Fest and support our library! Just remember, if you come home and find that the only “dragons” in your house are the roaches under the fridge, don’t you hesitate to give me a ring. Give us a call at 770-823-9202. Let’s keep the pests out and the tails waggin’!

Keepin' the Tail Waggin': How We Do Pet-Friendly Pest Control in Jasper Well, howdy neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control, right here in our beautiful corner of North Georgia. If you're like me, your four-legged friends aren’t just “animals”—they're family. Whether it's a loyal lab curled up by the fireplace or a curious tabby prowling the porch, the last thing any of us wants is to put them in harm’s way while tryin’ to get rid of uninvited guests like roaches, ants, or those nasty North Georgia spiders. Folks ask me all the time: “Fred, can I really keep my home bug-free without worryin’ about my dog or cat?” The answer is a big, North Georgia YES. But it takes a little bit of “faith” in the right process and a whole lot of common sense. Here's what makes a pest control service truly pet-friendly. It Starts with “IPM” (That's Expert Talk for Common Sense) At Faith Pest Control, we don't just “spray and pray.” We use what's called Integrated Pest Management (IPM). It's a fancy term, but here's what it means for your pets: Targeted Treatment: Instead of soaking your whole baseboard in chemicals, we look for the source. We put the treatment where the bugs live and the pets don’t—like deep in cracks, crevices, and behind appliances. Bait Stations: If we use baits for ants or roaches, we use tamper-resistant stations. These are little “lockboxes” that keep the good guys (your pets) out and the bad guys (the bugs) in. Exclusion First: Sometimes the best pest control isn’t a spray at all; it's a tube of caulk! By sealing up those gaps around your foundation or utility pipes, we keep the bugs out so we don’t have to use as much product inside. The “Dry Rule” One of the most important things to remember is the drying window. Most of the professional products we use today are specifically designed to be safe for pets once they have completely dried. Fred's Pro Tip: I always tell my neighbors to keep their pets in a “safe room” or out for a walk while I'm workin'. Once that product is dry—usually about 30 to 60 minutes depending on the humidity—it's perfectly fine for them to go back to their favorite nap spot. Knowing Your “Exotic” Neighbors Now, I know not everyone just has cats and dogs. We've got folks in Jasper with birds, fish, and even the occasional reptile. These little critters can be more sensitive. Fish Tanks: If we're doin' an indoor treatment, we always ask you to cover the tank with a towel and turn off the air pump for a little bit to keep the water pure. Birds: Their lungs are delicate! If we’re doin’ any kind of heavy-duty work, it's best to move the cage to a part of the house we aren’t touchin’. My Personal “Make You Happy” Guarantee Termite and pest control is serious business. It involves chemicals, and I'll never tell you otherwise. But when you hire someone who treats you like a neighbor—not a number—you get the peace of mind that comes with knowing the job is done right. I'm a Georgia State Certified Pest Control Operator, and I've spent years learnin’ exactly how these products interact with our environment. My promise to you is simple: If you hire me to get rid of your pest problem and you aren't 100% HAPPY within 30 days, I'll come back and retreat for FREE until you are. So, don’t let the bugs run your house, and don’t let “worry” keep you from callin’ the pros. We'll keep the pests out and the tails waggin’. Give us a ring right here in Jasper, and let's bring some peace back to your home!The post Keepin' the Tail Waggin': How We Do Pet-Friendly Pest Control in Jasper first appeared on Faith Pest Control.

Cammie Michelle Victoria #IRL - FAAF 251In this 251st episode, I share my reflections from Feb 8-13, 2026. Check out the WHOLE SPOTIFY PLAYLIST I put together with all the listens mentioned below:>>> bit.ly/E251FreshAirAtFivePlaylist

watch the video below: listen to the podcast below: It's time to close out yet another year of the Dandy Fun House. While all those “other shows” are slacking off and giving you retrospectives of everything they've already done in the past year, it is instead our tradition here at the Dandy Fun House to leave the past exactly there… in the past and instead look ahead to the brand spankin' new year coming at us like Frehley's Comet and take a glimpse at the coolest stuff we've been able to find that's waiting for us in 2026! We're going to look at theme parks, movies, pinball and of course the TOTY AWARD NOMINATION picks for the upcoming 2026 Toy of the Year Awards! Are you ready to get your kicks in 26? Then LET'S step into the FUN HOUSE! Hello and welcome to the Dandy Fun House 2025 year-end extravaganza where we wear the hats and blow our hooters about the very best in retro pop culture, toys and games and all the fun stuff! I’m your host Neil Dandy and in this episode we're going to look ahead at WHAT’S HOT ON THE HORIZON FOR 2026 in the worlds of theme parks, movies, pinball and my personal picks for the 2026 TOTY AWARDS (Toy of the Year). BUT FIRST! I have to show you these amazing DANDY FUN HOUSE T-Shirts before time runs out! Perfect for swaddling the baby new year, They have a front and a back so you don’t get cold and we even cut 4 holes in them! One to crawl your body into, one to stick your head out of and two to poke your arms through! Find them in the Dandy Fun Shop at the Dandy Fun House website at dandyfunhouse.com before the Dandy Ball Drops! Alrighty, hold on tighty and let’s get right into what's hot on the horizon for 2026 starting with… THEME PARKS! And up first is going to be UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, HOLLYWOOD (which isn't actually in Hollywood, it's in Studio City kind of like the LA Angels baseball team is actually in Anaheim and how they call the Embassy Suites here in Murfreesboro, Tennessee “Nashville South” which we absolutely are not. But anyway that's a rabbit hole rant for another day.) Anyway, UNIVERSAL STUDIOS in the greater Los Angeles, California area is breaking ground on a new roller coaster where each individual car experiences its very own 360 degrees of rotation. The coaster is called FAST AND FURIOUS HOLLYWOOD DRIFT themed after the Fast and Furious movies obviously. This one is expected to peel out in 2026! And Legoland California is busy building the Lego Galaxy space-themed land including an indoor roller coaster. Over at Kings Island in Ohio they're opening what they are calling a new “dark ride” in 2026 called “PHANTOM THEATER: Opening Nightmare.” It's in the location that has most recently held an attraction called Boo Blasters but is apparently the site of a previous attraction also called PHANTOM THEATER and this is apparently the return of that attraction with some various upgrades. I went to the Kings Island website to get more information and there's just a teaser video showing two girls walking into Boo Blasters and ending up in the Phantom Theater which appears to be a very loose sendup on the Phantom of the Opera. The cartoon phantom character they show in the teaser graphic is obviously based on the classic Lon Chaney silent film character, and visitors ride inside cars that resemble opera boxes. So… yeah. Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee (my neck of the woods kinda sorta) will be undertaking a $50 million expansion and also opening the world's first ever hybrid indoor family coaster and whitewater river raft ride called the “Night Flight Expedition.” Then under at Sea World, Orlando Florida they're diving into a new dark ride called SEAQuest: Legends of the Deep. If you don't know what a dark ride is, it basically means it's indoors and you get moved from scene to scene. It doesn't necessarily mean it's actually dark. Anyway, this new dark ride at Sea World Orlando will be what they are calling a suspended dark ride. The only information about this ride currently is that the rider will “discover dazzling ecosystems, legendary sea life, and breathtaking stories of resilience and wonder.” NEW MOBILITY DEVICE POLICY AT SEA WORLD! And speaking of Sea World, they have a controversial new policy which has been making the news lately that has just rolled out regarding mobility devices for the disabled. It appears that rollator walkers with seats are no longer permitted. The official updated policy from the Sea World website is as follows: “For the safety of our guests and employees, rollator walkers with seats on them are not permitted at SeaWorld Orlando. Alternative personal transportation options, including standard wheelchairs and Electric Convenience Vehicles (ECVs), are available. Walkers without a seat are permitted.” I'm guessing that more than a few guests were using their rollators like wheelchairs and it was causing some sort of safety concern in the parks. As someone who transports disabled people as my profession and handles mobility devices all day long, I can tell you from personal experience that a wheelchair itself is something you need to exercise caution with while pushing someone around. A rollator walker would be very, very easy to tip over if someone were attempting to use it as a wheelchair. So while I am disappointed at the inconvenience some disabled guests are going to face with this new policy, I want to be very careful not to demonize Sea World too quickly on this new policy. Guests can still borrow suitable mobility devices from guest services. Ok, time to work our flippers over to the world of PINBALL! Here are the rumored pinball releases expected in 2026 that caught my eye during the research for this episode. Please keep in mind these are only rumors… AMERICAN PINBALL is rumored to be releasing a CUPHEAD pinball machine in 2026 based on the wildly popular video game featuring some amazing vintage animation styles. I'll admit I'm not familiar with the character or the video game but I do love this vintage cartoon style! SPOOKY PINBALL is said to be working on a MOTORHEAD pinball machine for 2026. NO offense to guitarist Wurzel or drummer Mickey Dee (now playing with the Scorpions) who were crucial to keeping the band going in its later years, but I'm really hoping it honors the original lineup of Lemmy, Philthy Phil and Fast Eddie! BARRELS OF FUN PINBALL appears to be cooking up some GOONIES pinball for the new year! RAMPS PINBALL will be coming out with LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS! Oh please let the carnivorous plant eat the ball! And last but not least in our pinball 2026 rumours we have PINBALL ADVENTURES bringing us SUSHI MADNESS! Ni Ohashi Kudasai ! And if you're REALLY a pinball nut as we know you are, you'll want to put March 20th through the 22nd on your calendar because that's when Frisco, Texas braces itself for the annual TEXAS PINBALL FESTIVAL! Over 440 games. One incredible weekend! The website says tickets go on sale October 4th 2026. I have to imagine that's a typo and they really mean 2025 otherwise only those with the ability for reverse time travel will be able to attend. There will be tournaments and challenges, special guests and panels, exhibitors, parts, memorabilia, new games and there will be a special tech day for those trying to upgrade and/or fix their own machines. That's the TEXAS PINBALL FESTIVAL 2026! Rope you a ticket today! Yeehaw! Alright, I think we're ready to “steer” away from pinball and “drive” this herd into… MOVIES! First I'll start with letting you know a few of my favorite movies of 2025 before we get into what's ahead for 2026: JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH: Ok, it was pretty much par for the course but it had Scarlett Johansson carrying the entire movie on her shoulders alone and she pulled it off amazingly! MICKEY 17: This is a movie about a guy who signs on to do very dangerous grunt work in space for a corporation and every time he gets killed, the company just prints out a new copy of him with all his same memories. The crux is that the new copy never knows if he's actually the person being reborn every time or if he really dies and the new copy just has his memories and merely thinks he's the same person. Weird stuff. THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS – After many fantastic fails at trying to make this work on the big screen, they finally got the Fantastic Four right! The retro future vibe was spot on and all the actors were perfect! SUPERMAN: I was really upset about losing Henry Cavill as Superman, but James Gunn came back with a fresh new fun feel on this one starring David Corenswet, even bringing in Supe's dog Krypto! This movie was just a great time! More please! THE SMASHING MACHINE: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in a dramatic role co-starring Emily Blunt. It's the story of Mixed Martial arts and UFC Champion Mark Kerr and how he conquered his biggest opponent: addiction. And finally in my roundup of my favorite movies of 2025 I bring you… BUGONIA! This movie was a crazy trip with some really wild twists and many moments of pure cringe and I loved it! Starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons who seems to be showing up in everything lately! It's a story about two conspiracy nuts who kidnap a corporate CEO thinking she's a space alien trying to destroy the Earth. This was easily my biggest delightful surprise of 2025. But before we get to 2026, I'd like to give a special nod to TRON: ARES because I always expect anything starring Jared Leto to suck eggs and this did not! And SPINAL TAP II: The End Continues… Rest in peace Marty DiBergi. MOVIES I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2026! THE ODYSSEY Expected Jul 17, 2026: After the Trojan War, Odysseus faces a dangerous voyage back to Ithaca, meeting creatures like the Cyclops Polyphemus, Sirens, and Circe along the way. starring Matt Damon, Mia Goth, and Anne Hathaway. This could be really good or it could be really stupid. I'm betting this is going to be good and double or nothing that Mia Goth will be a siren or maybe Medusa. I think she'd make a good Medusa! EVIL DEAD BURN Expected Jul 24, 2026 – I'm a sucker for the Evil Dead movies. This one is not likely to have any Bruce Campbell, but they're keeping the details under tight wraps for now so who knows? COYOTE VS. ACME Expected Aug 28, 2026 PG A story set in the ACME warehouse, the manufacturer of anything and everything used by the Looney Tunes characters. And apparently John Cena is voicing one of the characters! Oh please oh please oh please get this right! If 2025's “The Day The Earth Blew Up” starring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig is any indication, I think we can have high hopes here! Ooh, that’s another one of my favorites from 2025 I left off the list! INSPECTOR GADGET – No details are available but I think we're long overdue for some Go Go Gadget action! DUNE Part Three Expected Dec 18, 2026 It follows Muad’dib, heir to unimaginable power, as he brings to fruition the ancient scheme to create a superbeing ruler among men, not in the heavens. And according to imdb it’s starring Starring Rebecca Ferguson, Timothée Chalamet and Anya Taylor-Joy. Did you pick up what I just picked up? Zendaya is not listed as a cast member on IMDB! How can this IMD Be!? You tell me! PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN (untitled) – That's all we know folks. Hopefully they got things squared away with Johnny Depp. That is if they want to sell tickets. I AM LEGEND 2 – Military scientist Robert Neville seems the sole survivor in virus-ravaged New York. He’s waging a fight against “Darkseekers”, mutants resembling vampires trying to capture him as he searches for a cure. Starring Will Smith and Michael B. Jordan Alright! I could go for a sequel to I AM LEGEND! Especially when you add Michael B into the mix! I'd really like a sequel to iRobot but this'll do me for now! BLADE – That's right they are teasing a new Blade movie for 2026 with Mia Goth listed in the cast but of course the burning question is DO THEY HAVE WESLEY SNIPES??? They gave him a cameo as Blade in the Deadpool vs. Wolverine movie last year. But Snipes is NOT listed in the cast on IMDB as of yet! There is also an Untitled Denzel Washington Project Based on the historical figure of Hannibal, considered one of the greatest military commanders of all time. The film covers the crucial battles he led against the Roman Republic during the Second Punic War. You had me at Denzel, not to mention I love historical action movies. Bring it on! THE BRIDE Expected Mar 6, 2026 In 1930s Chicago, Dr. Frankenstein asks Dr. Euphronius to help create a companion. They give life to a murdered woman as the Bride, sparking romance, police interest, and radical social change. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Christian Bale THIS IS THE ONE I'M WAITING FOR! Love Christian Bale and love the concept of setting the story of The Bride of Frankenstein in 1930's Chicago! Let's go! SCANDALOUS! This will be the story behind the Hollywood romance of Sammy Davis Jr. and actress Kim Novak. I love anything related to Sammy Davis Jr. “It's gonna be fantastic baby!” CLAYFACE – Expected Sep 11, 2026 A shape-shifting creature made of magical clay haunts Gotham City, alternating between villain and ally of Batman. Ok, it's a Batman villain and not a super obvious one! Looks interesting! EVEL KNIEVEL ON TOUR – This one is going to be about Legendary motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel and apparently the drama that surrounded the run-up to his 1974 attempt at jumping the Snake River Canyon in Idaho.Starring Leonardo DiCaprio Ok, first of all, Evel was planning to jump the Grand Canyon but couldn't get the ok from the US Government so he made a deal with an Indian tribe to jump the Snake River Canyon seeing how it was located on sovereign tribal land. Anyway, a new movie about Evel Knievel? Heck yeah! THE HUNGER GAMES: SUNRISE ON THE REAPING – Expected Nov 20, 2026 This new installment of the Hunger Games will explore Panem 24 years before Katniss’ saga, starting on the morning of the reaping for the 50th Hunger Games, where a young Haymitch Abernathy participates. Ok, this could be alright. I'm not super excited about it but I could be swayed since it won't have Jennifer Lawrence in it. And that's it for THE MOVIES I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2026! Now for TOYS! What I like to do this time of year is see what toys from 2025 have been nominated in various categories for a coveted TOY OF THE YEAR award otherwise known as a TOTY and let you know my personal picks, not that anyone in the industry is giving me a vote. Maybe someday. BUT TODAY I bring you MY PERSONAL 2026 TOTY AWARD NOMINEE PICKS! ACTION FIGURE OF THE YEAR: I like Avatar Interactive Shoulder Banshee by Disney Consumer Products – This thing looks pretty cool. It's basically a small, colorful looking dragon that sits on your shoulder and attaches via a magnetic base you wear under your clothing. A handheld controller allows you to control head and wing movements as well as its voice. This thing is pretty darn awesome! In the COLLECTIBLES category: There are two different nominees that caught my eye. One is Sticki Rolls Series 2 by Sky Castle Toys which is basically charm bracelets marketed to girls with rolls of small stickers on them with different fun graphics. The other nominee I like is Wigglitz by ZB Designs. These are tiny toy figurines of almost every type of fun character you can imagine that have some sort of wiggly aspect to them, or better put: something that moves when you wiggle them. If I had to choose between these two, I'd probably go with Wigglitz because it's something you'll get continual enjoyment from whereas the Sticki Rolls are only fun until you run out of stickers. CONSTRUCTION PLAYSET OF THE YEAR: I have to give it to GeckoBot 2.0 by Thames & Kosmos, This is a kit where you build your very own robotic gecko that actually climbs up your windows. Thames & Kosmos just keeps knocking it out of the park! CREATIVE TOY OF THE YEAR: Crayola Marker Airbrush has got my vote (that is if I HAD A VOTE which I don't!). If you've ever dreamed of someday making awful-looking t-shirts and hats on the boardwalk, then THIS could be your starter kit! It's an actual working airbrush sprayer courtesy of everyone's favorite crayon company, Crayola! It even comes with various spray color cartridges so you start saying it by spraying it! DOLL OF THE YEAR: Admittedly, I as a 57 year old man should absolutely NOT be voicing my opinion on the Doll of the Year Award (DOTY award?) but if I had to choose from the list of 2026 nominees I would hands-down pick Woof & Co by Sunny Days Entertainment. It's a collection of fashionable dogs of various breeds who all dress FABULOUS! Yeah, this is the one I'd go for. EDUCATIONAL TOY OF THE YEAR: In this category I am really liking the SNAP CIRCUITS SPY KIT by Elenco Electronics. This has a bunch of components that you just snap together to make all sorts of cool stuff like a vibration sensor, motion detector, trip wire, voice changer and a whole lot more. Oh the trouble I would have gotten myself into if I had something like this when I was a kid! GAME OF THE YEAR: I've gotta tell you, there's not a bad one in the bunch of nominees this year for Game of the Year! They've got an EXPLODING KITTENS BOARD GAME where you actually flip the entire board and all the pieces stay in place! There's a Simon game (you know, the memory game Simon?) where they took it and incorporated it into a dance mat called SIMON JUMP. So you stomp out your moves on the dance mat! Then there's COWS IN SPACE where magnetic flying saucers dangle from your forehead via a sproingy headstrap and the object is to abduct cows from a field with your flying saucer! But the game that caught my attention the most was TETRIS TUMBLE XL! It's sort of like Giant Jenga except there is a base that rocks side to side and you roll a die to see what tetris pieces you have to stack on top of it and of course whoever makes the stack fall to the ground is the LOSER! I like this. It's like a great big fun yard game you could also play in your living room. TETRIS TUMBLE XL for Game of the Year is my choice! INFANT / TODDLER TOY OF THE YEAR: Ok, maybe another category I might not be the best judge for but I'm who you've got pal! And in this category I choose Pour ‘N’ Grow Pop-Up Garden by Yookidoo. This appears to be mainly a bath time toy kit but you could play with it really anywhere as long as you have some water onhand. It's pretty simple: you've got three different toys, The fill and water flower, Peek A Bee and Pop Up Worm. You pour water into them or onto them and the water turns some internal mechanisms to make the flower open, the worm come out and wiggle or gets the bee to play peek a bee with you! Very unique and inventive and in my opinion, the absolute best of this year's bunch! KIDULT TOY OF THE YEAR: Kidult? That means it's made for ages 14 and up. And I'm really torn down the middle between two nominees on this one. I like the Miniverse Make it Mini Food Diner Series 4 by MGA Entertainment which is an art kit for making your own food minis that you control the designs and colors of. Have you ever walked past a restaurant that had fake food on display showing examples of their most popular dishes? Well that's what you'll be making with this kit only really, really small. The name is way too long though. Or if you just want something cool to play with that doesn't really take any time and effort, I offer you the ZipString Aracna, which is a newer version of the ZipString string loop toy, but it attaches to your wrist so you can shoot it out like Spiderman! (although they obviously aren't allowed to actually invoke Spiderman but they sure are bending over backwards suggesting it as extremely as they legally can!) The really cool feature of this Kidult toy of the year nominee is the glow feature! Flip a switch on the ZipString wrist launcher, turn off the lights and do all sorts of awesome tricks and shapes in the dark with a glowing string loop. So… Miniverse Make it Mini Food Diner Series 4 or the the ZipString Aracna! The Miniverse Make it Mini Food Diner Series 4 triggers me relentlessly with that obnoxiously long name, so on that basis alone I am giving the nod to the ZipString Aracna! OUTDOOR TOY OF THE YEAR: I think there should really be two sub categories here. One for younger kids and one for older. For the older kids, I was really blown away by the Crazy Cart Shuffle by Razor USA. This thing is like a Big Wheel or a Green Machine on steroids. Not only can you pedal around in this thing but you can spin and also drift. It's really neat. And speaking of neat, for the little ones I absolutely love the Outdoor Kitchen by Hape. It's not a real kitchen of course but it's a really cool miniature toy version of an outdoor kitchen setup! Come on TOTY Awards, let's break this one up by age groups! PRESCHOOL TOY OF THE YEAR: Ok, there were some good ones in here and maybe I'm judging on my own male bias from a bygone era but my favorite here was the Little Tikes Creative Construction Power Cuts Set by MGA Entertainment. It's a woodworking shop playset with an actual working , low-powered plastic chop saw which cuts through foam 2x4s and also comes with a play hammer, nails, measuring tape and carpenter pencil which is actually a marker. In the video demonstration I watched, the chop saw did struggle getting through the foam wood, but when you're talking about preschoolers, that's probably about the best you can hope for. We desperately need more encouragement and inspiring of our youth towards the skilled trades in my humble opinion and this is a refreshing step in that direction. Nicely done! SPECIALTY TOY OF THE YEAR: I was truly taken by the Yes & Know Original Invisible Ink Trivia Game Books by Tree Town Toys. These are basically activity books where different things are revealed with the use of a special invisible ink pen. This looks fantastic for keeping the younguns busy on a road trip or maybe in a waiting room or anywhere you want to keep them distracted. That is until you run out of invisible ink and invisible ink activity books! And those are my picks for the 2026 TOTY AWARDS and THAT'S our look ahead at what's hot on the horizon for 2026!

Otherwise you can email me at neil @ dandyfunhouse . com And even though I said I wasn't going to do a retrospective of this past year, I will tell you my favorite Dandy Fun House episode from this past year of 2025: Oh, who am I kidding? It's always the Halloween episode where the Dandy Fun House becomes the Dandy Spook Shack and I get to dress up like a ghoul. But my second favorite might have to be the deep dive into the iconic toy company WHAM-O! I learned so much doing that one! You might think I just come on here and already know all this stuff I talk about but on the contrary, I do a great deal of research in the weeks leading up to producing an episode and I'm constantly learning amazing new things which is why I really love doing this! DANDY FUN HOUSE Plans for 2026? More of the same of course! We're getting really close to monetization on YouTube. Technically we're already supposed to be there but YouTube gives conflicting information on this and is notorious for constantly moving the goalposts. So while we love publishing to YouTube, we certainly don't put all our Dandy Eggs in that basket. We also publish to Instagram, Facebook, X, Tik Tok and Rumble as well as our very own DANDY FUN HOUSE WEBSITE AT dandyfunhouse.com where you can watch the video, listen and subscribe to the podcast or read the entire episode in written form along with pictures! Who does that!? WE DO! THAT'S WHO! And we do it by hand. No AI stuff. Okay, full disclosure, we DO use AI to help transcribe the episodes into written form and also the captions for the short form videos, but it always gets things wrong so we always go over it personally and make the needed corrections. But while you're on our website checking out all the episodes and buying stuff from the Dandy Fun Shop, be sure to visit our PATRONAGE PAGE where you can support future productions with your modest financial gifts!

I can't quite believe it, but we've reached the halfway point of another year. 2025 has been a whirlwind, and I know I'm not the only one who feels that way. Despite everything that may be happening outside of our control, we need to keep working towards our dream life…and hopefully the goals you've set for the year help you get there! At the end of 2024, I shared my personal and business goals for 2025, and since we've reached the halfway point of the year, I want to do a quick mid-year goal check in! This helps me stay on top of what I set out to accomplish in the year and holds me accountable by sharing with you! Hopefully this episode encourages you to do your own mid-year goals check in as well!   Here's a glance at this episode: [02:10] Raya kicks off with sharing her personal goals for 2025 and the progress that has been made towards those goals. [04:40] One of Raya's 2025 personal goals is to max out her Roth IRA. She has contributed $5500 of the $7000 needed to max out for the year. [07:44] Another personal goal for Raya is to read 2 books per month. Due to family coming into town, this goal is not on track, but Raya shares her plan for getting back on schedule. [10:07] While revenue is still a focus for business, Raya has shifted focus to increasing the profit margin for the business. Progress is being made this year.

In this week's City Girl Savings podcast episode, we're rewinding to a more seasoned episode, recorded in the second year of this podcast – 9 Ways to Manifest More Money Into Your Life. I personally love this episode and chose to rewind to it because not everyone believes in the power of manifestation, or you just need some encouragement to manifest money into your own life. In the episode, I share 9 ways anyone can start manifesting more money into their lives. I also share my manifesting journey. What's not included is how I manifested my life goal of owning a second home in Palm Springs. If I were to re-record this episode, I'd have another firsthand example of how powerful manifesting can be.   Here's a glance at this episode: [02:15] When you start believing something to be true, your brain acts accordingly. This is the science behind manifestation. [04:20] One tip to help you manifest more money is to write yourself a million-dollar check and keep it some place where you can see it often.  [06:48] I hate to say it, but the more negative you think, the more negative things will happen. This is because you're constantly focused on the negative, so it becomes much more apparent. [10:00] Already have goals? Have you shared them? Putting your goals out into the world adds an extra layer of accountability, which can help you work harder to achieve them. [14:10] The more thought-aware you become, the easier it will be for you to notice thoughts that aren't in line with what you want to manifest.   Rate, Review, & Follow: Did you love this episode?

I have been reflecting a lot lately on whether or not we are playing a role in the problem or solution when it comes to unrealistic beauty standards and i wanted to open this up as an open dialogue convo - zero shame or judgement for whatever side you are on - but as always to bring conscious awareness into any choice you make in order to make more empowered decisions from the right energy... In this Episode we Talk About: Social medias role in creating unrealistic beauty standards The impact of beauty standards can affect women's mental health and self-worth. Many women feel they need to alter their appearance to be deemed worthy of love. The belief that beauty equates to worthiness is deeply ingrained in society. we have the power to choose the beauty standards we feel pressured to uphold Chasing perfection can lead to a never-ending cycle of dissatisfaction. My Personal experiences with cosmetic procedures can shape one's views on beauty. Lets consider the health implications of cosmetic enhancements. Consumerism plays a significant role in shaping beauty norms. Self-acceptance is crucial in combating societal pressures. True self-love means not needing external validation for one's beauty. Chasing perfection can be exhausting and detrimental to mental health. Conscious awareness of beauty standards can empower individuals to make better choices. The impact of cosmetic procedures extends beyond personal choice to societal influence. Real beauty comes from within and is not defined by external standards. Women have the power to redefine beauty standards by rejecting societal pressures. Self-worth should not be tied to physical appearance or societal expectations. Choosing to embrace one's natural self can inspire others to do the same.

There was a point in my life where I would set big goals and not check-in on them. I would keep them top of mind but only assess my progress once the goal time frame (typically one year) ended. Not anymore! Now, I make it a point to assess my goal progress along the way. This helps me course correct, make changes, or keep doing what's working! At the end of 2023, I shared my personal and business goals for 2024. Now that we're over the halfway mark of 2024, I want to share my progress! In this episode, I'm doing a mid-year personal and business goals check in! I'm sharing my goal progress with you, in the hopes that you're encouraged to do your own progress check.   Here's a glance at this episode: [02:07] Raya shares her progress on some health and diet related goals she set for 2024, along with a recipe! [05:25] Another goal for Raya is to max out her Roth IRA. She shares that she isn't on track with this goal as of now, but has confidence it will be achieved.  [10:38] Another off-track goal is taking an international trip. While planning has started, it likely won't be a trip that happens in 2024. [13:40] Raya shares some events happening in the CGS community that can help reach the goal of 7500 Facebook Group members. [16:25] While the business is not hitting a 50% increase in revenue, it is averaging 20%, which is still promising.   Rate, Review, & Follow: Did you love this episode?

The question of whether we have free will is a longstanding and complex debate in philosophy, neuroscience, and psychology. The internet is full of amazingly detailed and intriguing content talking about this concept in much detail. In today's episode, I wanted to talk about two extremely crucial concepts that I think are often overlooked in most debates and discussions around this subject. Join me, Chetan Narang, as I dive deep into the concept of free will. I am sure that by the end of this episode of The Unlearning Playground Podcast, you would be well equipped to understand what is mostly missing in the various perspectives of this question from philosophy, neuroscience, psychology & theology. You will also be able to digest the classic debates between determinism, libertarian free will & compatibilism better. Whether you have or haven't listened to big names like Sam Harris, Andrew Huberman, Robert Sapolsky or Jordan Peterson, my hope is that you would find this episode to be the missing piece in the jigsaw puzzle of the ever evasive question - Is Free Will an illusion? As I uncover what is often missing in most debates and discussions about free will - whether among philosophers, scientists, or laypeople, you would see that we actually need to go beyond the surface arguments to explore the real nuance of this question. Let's meet in the playground then. Until next time. Peace out. #freewill #philosophy #neuroscience #psychology #theology #determinism #spiritualteacher #spiritualawakening -------------- All links that I touched upon in this episode: Sam Harris's book on Free Will - https://amzn.to/3KaiCtF My episode on The Purpose of Life - https://chetannarang.org/the-purpose-of-life/ -------------- ==== Outline ==== (00:00) - Intro to today's episode (00:58) - Intro to the concept of Free Will (02:20) - My PERSONAL experience with the question (04:01) - How this question is USUALLY addressed on the Internet (08:37) - What is MISSING from almost ALL videos on Free Will (20:24) - Self Awareness - The MISSING variable in the Free Will equation (30:16) - Summary & Concluding Thoughts --------------

Every Christian should know how to explain to anyone how they too can have the same capability of responding to God's Word in faith to receive Christ into their heart to be pleasing to God! Helping others to become pleasing to God and receiving Christ into their heart for salvation should be one of our greatest goals, Proverbs 11:30, "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise."

So, this month, a few of us are trying to do some daily cold water exposure, and see what kind of results we can drum up in terms of how we feel, and any changes we find in our physical and mental health.   Obviously there are so many people out there who are educated and can tell you scientifically what benefits you can reap from dipping yourself in cold water, whether it's a cold plunge, or an ice bath.   What I wanted to discuss was MY PERSONAL experience, and some of the benefits it has had on my mindset.   If you liked the show, help it grow!   Leave a review and rate 5 stars on Apple Podcast, and Spotify!

Have you ever felt like you're on the verge of breaking through to the next level? Almost as if you've mastered everything you can master at this point in your life and to move forward, you must grow in new and different ways? Well, I'm in that spot right now. I feel like I'm at the cusp of a new level and to enter it, I need to let go of things that no longer serve me and start new habits and routines that will foster my growth at the next level. So, after giving it a lot of thought, I've determined the 6 habits and routines I'm adding to my life to help me become my next-level self.  In this episode, I'm sharing the 6 next-level habits I'm adding to my life to help me level up!   Here's a glance at this episode: [02:25] Raya shares an important realization – the habits that she plans to implement may only serve her for a point in time…and that's okay. [05:41] While Raya read more books in 2023, she watched TV more than she read books. Can you relate? Listen as she shares why this won't be the case in 2024. [10:18] Raya realized that how she dressed everyday had a huge impact on how she felt. Now, she vows to let go of the yoga pants and sweatshirts! [16:20] Having 2-3 dedicated call days every week will help Raya spend time focusing on her clients, as well as time focusing on growing the business. [20:30] Raya plans to not only track her goal progress (per usual), but will dedicate time to thinking about what the data is showing.   Rate, Review, & Follow: Did you love this episode?

By the time you're hearing this episode, I'm a newly aged 35-year-old woman. My year from 34 to 35 has been one of tremendous growth. Not from a business or material standpoint, but from an internal one. It's been a year of reflection, trusting the unknown, and having faith. It was a tough year personally and I was forced to do things I didn't plan to. I was forced to slow down when I didn't want to. I was forced to be content, which is something I struggled with. The growth I've experienced in the past year has had a huge impact on the money lessons I've accumulated over my 35 years of life. In this episode, I'm sharing some of the biggest money lessons I learned by 35. I have a feeling the lessons will keep coming!   Here's a glance at this episode: [02:55] On this City Girl Solutions' segment, I'm sharing whether to set up bill-pay through your bank or automatic payments through each company. [07:43] Money isn't what brings happiness, but it can allow you to do and purchase the things that do bring you overall happiness. [12:15] Contributing to a 401k plan at age 21 was the best thing I did for my finances. I didn't do a lot of things right back then, but I did that right! [17:09] Love to travel? It's okay to visit the same place multiple times, especially if that place brings you joy. [21:05] I no longer believe starting a business is for everyone. I think personal wants and characteristics may warrant working for someone else.   Subscribe, Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts This helps me support more people — just like you — to make the best money moves as they make their way to their dream life.   Resources mentioned in this episode: Listen to Episode 30 – Vacation Planning on a Budget Listen to Episode 53 – My Personal and Business Goals for 2023 Save money with Oportun!

When it comes to your goals, you can't just set them and forget them. You have to check in on them and make sure you're on track. If you're not on track, you still have time to course correct and figure other things out. Sometimes, things come up and your goals can't be achieved exactly when you want them to. That doesn't mean you should give up though! It just means you'll need to tweak, adjust and get back to work. The same goes for me! You may remember at the end of 2022, I shared my personal and business goals for 2023. Well, here we are, over 7 months into the year and I practice what I preach. In this episode, I'm doing a mid-year personal and business goals check in. I'm sharing my check in results with you, so you can do your own mid-year goal check in! Here's a glance at this episode: [01:44] In this episode's City Girl Solutions question, I'm breaking down “Backdoor” Roth IRAs for those who may not be aware of what they are and how to implement them. [04:35] One personal goal that I'm on track with for the year is working out Monday through Friday. I've also added in walking 10,000 steps to it! [09:45] We have a business goal of hitting 50,000 podcast downloads in 2023. Thank you for listening and helping us reach this goal! [13:00] We're off target for reaching out annual website views goal, but with a newly-designed website, hopefully we can make up for lost time. [16:13] On a personal note, I'm currently working through managing my mindset when things aren't as busy as I'm used to. It's a work in progress!

Everyone knows they should be saving money, but most people don't take it a step further and specify what that savings should be for. I've worked with clients who would save money consistently, but never had a strategy around that savings. There are certain things everyone should be saving for, but it's not always clear what those things should be. Don't get me wrong, saving money just to save money is better than the alternative – not saving money at all, but when you don't have a purpose for your savings, it can be easy to spend it on things you don't necessarily need. If you're unsure about what to save for, in this episode, I'm sharing 8 things everyone should be saving for over time. Here's a glance at this episode: [01:47] In this episode's City Girl Solutions question, I'm sharing what I think about Dave Ramsey and his teachings. [04:00] Believing that you are capable of achieving the things you want out of life is a huge part of actually achieving them. [08:45] Stop what you're doing and go contribute to a retirement plan – through your employer (if available) or through an IRA (if your employer doesn't have a plan). [13:09] A dream vacation is worth saving for. While other priorities may come first, don't rob yourself of an amazing travel experience. [17:00] One thing that we all should be working towards is a life free of debt.

Forbes Magazine said they are “one of four technologies innovating mental health” and Elle Magazine was quoted saying they “couldn't stop talking about their good mood and hyper charged focus.” They've been proven in multiple published studies, treated over 10,000 patients and are prescribed by more than 14,000 doctors and providers. Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/OfCeq6z2mks On today's Episode #271 we will cover ✔  A reminder of our first interview with Kelly Roman, CEO of Fisher Wallace Laboratories from 2021, that remains on our TOP 12 most watched YouTube Interviews on the podcast.  ✔  My Personal Review of The Fisher Wallace Device, that remains our MOST downloaded episode of ALL-TIME!  ✔ Our One Year Later Episode, where I answer the MOST ASKED QUESTION about our podcast. ✔ Kelly Roman updates us on The Next Generation of Wearable Devices: Where They are Now, and Where They are Going. ✔ We discuss Best Practices for Using Their First Generation Device, and HOW it provides a calming effect.  ✔  The Importance of Staying on Top of Our Mental and Physical Health. ✔ How Fisher Wallace is Positioned to Support the Workplaces of the Future. ✔ First responder study, and ways that we can support Kelly's mission of building health, well-being and resilience in the future. You can see countless reviews on their website[i] where people all over the globe share the relief the device provides for them, and I personally understand the impact that this specific technology can have on our mental and physical health. Our first interview with today's returning guest, Kelly Roman[ii], CEO of Fisher Wallace Laboratories[iii], on their wearable medical device that's cleared by the FDA to treat depression, anxiety and insomnia, came in at #11 of our all-time most watched YouTube interviews[iv]. Then, EPISODE #120[v] from last April 2021, where I posted “My Personal Review of the Fisher Wallace Wearable Medical Device”[i] remains our most listened to episode of all time with over 6,000 downloads. You can watch our first interview here https://youtu.be/jCtbngfXoYg that Kelly Roman says is his all-time favorite interview. I think it's neat to look back now, to when I had no idea that a device like this even existed, to see how it improved my sleep by much more the gold standard of 20 minutes each night. I'm sure as the CEO of this company, Kelly has heard it all. I remember having a deer in the headlights look while first learning about this device, as I didn't even know there was something I could use at home that could help me to improve my sleep, levels of anxiety, that also supports those people suffering from depression. I'm pretty open on this podcast that depression runs in my family, and is one of the reasons I left Toronto, for AZ where I could find most days where we have sunshine, and I could exercise outside Year-round. This change of location has helped me to find the balance I needed, but not everyone can just pick up and move to a new location for a better climate. Kelly Roman himself was open with his past history with depression, and how the device has helped him as well, so after I released our interview, and then my review of the device, I was surprised at how many emails and correspondence I received from people around the world, with questions. I think most people just wanted to make sure I was a real person, and if you've ever emailed me, I answer EVERY email within 24 hours. Most people wanted to know “do you still use the Fisher Wallace Device?” and the answer is “yes, every morning, as a part of my daily routine.” I couldn't imagine life without it. In fact, I've had this question come through so many times that I did a “Review One Year Later: My Personal Review of the Fisher Wallace Device[vi]” last summer, that I could point people to who asked me this question to. I've said it often on this podcast that most of us will struggle with a mental health issue in our lifetime. We launched the year with EP 268 on “Prioritizing Our Mental Health in 2023: Building Self-Awareness and Resilience in the New Year”[vii]  with a quote from Julie Smith, the author of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before, reminding us that our mental health is just an important as our physical health. So, when I saw an email from Kelly Roman about a NEW product they were releasing, I immediately emailed him to see if he would come back on the podcast.    Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast where we bridge the gap between theory and practice, with strategies, tools and ideas we can all use immediately, applied to the most current brain research to heighten productivity in our schools, sports environments and modern workplaces. For returning guest, welcome back, and for those who are new listeners, I'm Andrea Samadi and launched this podcast almost 4 years ago, to share how important an understanding of our brain is for our everyday life and results. This season (Season 9) we will be focused on Neuroscience: Going Back to the Basics always with a focus on our productivity, results, mental and physical health. Today, I want to welcome back the CEO of Fisher Wallace, Kelly Roman, to reconnect since our first interview that received more feedback and comments than I imagined, helping all those who have tuned into that first interview, my personal review, or the one year later review.  Let's welcome Kelly Roman and see what's been happening over at Fisher Wallace since our first interview back in February 2021. Welcome back Kelly, thanks for meeting me today in this early time slot and being so responsive for us speaking again. How's everything going over there? Q1: Kelly, I've got to say, I was really surprised with the reaction and interest with our first interview. It caught me off guard just how many people around the world are suffering, and looking for a solution. People were very open with how much they are struggling, and asked me how I used the device. What does this reaction mean to you and how have you seen the world responding to this device? Q2: When I go back to my trial period, I was using the device to improve my WASO scores, as I've been trying everything to make sure I go to sleep and stay asleep so was happy to see those improve, but was not expecting my mood to improve, or anxiety levels decrease. Even after using some other tools this past year, there are many times I could see anxiety levels increase, without me even being aware of it. What have you seen as a typical reaction for someone who tries out the device? Q2B: Does it matter which level you choose? Q3: I loved the correspondence that came through after the personal review I did. I think most people wanted to know that I'm a real person here, and the biggest thing I noticed was when I said I was not paid to endorse your product. When I go to your website review section, and see wonderful reviews, including the one I did, is everyone there just like me? They tried the device, found it helped them, and they either let you know, or they just keep it, and use it regularly? Q4: In our interview, I remember you were waiting on the device to be cleared by FDA for insomnia (and I think it has been by now from looking at your website). What has happened since we spoke that first time? Q5: In our first interview we spoke about some work you were doing with first responders. What are you doing now with the first responders study, in order to validate tools and techniques to improve their quality of life in a profession that needs it more than ever today? (NOTE- I shadowed a team of police officers this year, and after 5 hours on the job, needed to take a break from what I saw. I wouldn't make it in that industry, and saw first-hand how many officers needed mental health support tools to help them to deal with the stress they must endure, minute by minute). What can you share about this device helping those first responders with the stress they dealt with day to day? Q6: I was sorry to see the email about the passing of Mitch Rosenthal, MD, the founder of Phoenix House, the largest private, non-profit therapeutic drug-treatment program in the United States. I remember you mentioned him in our first interview when I asked about the research behind the device with substance use disorder. How did Dr. Rosenthal contribute to the world as an “early apostle for treating drug and alcohol addiction?”[viii] Q7: The reason I asked you back today was because I hear there's a lot going on with Fisher Wallace. What's Your Vision for the Future? What's next for Fisher Wallace? Where are you going now?  What can you tell us about OAK, and the Next Generation of Fisher Wallace Technology?   Thank you, Kelly, for coming back on the podcast, and for all you are doing in the world. I'm always going to be a fan of any tool that supports our mental health and well-being and I'll continue to follow your work and showcase everything you are doing there on the podcast, in addition to continue to use my device on a daily basis. For anyone who listens and wants to try this wearable device, is the best way to go to FisherWallace.com and order one to try? Thank you for all you do.

Full video version with Somali Key words is on YouTube! Click here to watch Thank you so much for tuning in for Episode 1 of "Macawiis Mondays" Notes, corrections and examples: * The video became more about politenesses in Somali rather than saying 'please'. 1) I gave the term 'fadlan' which is close to the English word 'Please' and is usually used at the beginning of sentences ("Fadlan hal saxan - One dish please"). 2) As expected, Tuugaa has nothing to do with 'shooting' anyone... rather it's the verb 'To beg' and is synonymous with the word 'barayaa'. So "waan ku tuugaa" and "waan ku barayaa" are both correct and literally mean "I beg you". 3) Use "Ma + (Infinitive of any verb) + kartaa" to say "Can you (verb)". For example: (Cunto ma sameyn kartaa? - Can you make food?) / (Ma i Caawin Kartaa? - Can you help me?)

Breaking the NeedleThe average person makes choices that move the needle. How can you become someone who generates so much momentum that you break the needle?OPENING QUOTE:We always hear about, build your life around the things you love, build your business around the things you love. But that's really hard to do because for me, I'm really passionate and intense and I love a million things, so that list would be infinite. But, instead of that, what about, what do you hate not doing? ”—Jay FerruggiaGUEST BIO: Jay Ferruggia is the host of the Renegade Radio podcast, a top 20 fitness podcast on Apple Podcasts with over six million downloads.

But the truth is that many of the people who have reached the pinnacle of success do it by focusing on one thing and doing that thing with everything they've got. [12:13] - The Daily Non-NegotiablesWhat's essential for your daily joy and progress?Take a look at your life and the things you're most passionate about. It might be exercise, or spending time outside, or laughing. Make these things non-negotiable as part of your day. Need to make room for them? Drop other things, but never the non-negotiable things that bring you joy.[22:54] - The Three Forms of AwarenessAwareness of Self, Awareness of Others, Awareness of SituationIntrinsic motivation doesn't require someone else telling you to work hard— it comes from awareness of self, awareness of others, and awareness of your situation. When you know what you're capable of, what others need from you, and where you stand (and where you need to be), you can accomplish anything.[31:12] - The Power and Limits of PassionHow do you turn passion into playmaking?Jay is passionate about hip hop, but that doesn't mean he could get into a recording booth and drop a Grammy-winning rap album. So how do we know our passions could turn into careers? The simple answer is that we don't. All we can do is choose a path and give it 110% and see where we end up.[35:25] - The Go-To Daily PurposeMake your purpose other peopleWhen you wake up in the morning and for whatever reason you don't feel like you have a strong sense of purpose, what do you do? For Jay, he defaults to helping others. There are always people that need help, and by the end of an act of service you'll almost always have re-centered yourself on what matters most to you.[49:04] - The Big SecretMost people actually want you to succeedPeople who succeed love to talk about the ‘haters' that wanted to see them fail. But the truth is that most people are good people, and we're energized by each other's successes. Once you realize that, it's not about ego— it's about sharing your gift with people.RESOURCES:[0:31] The Power of Playing Offense[1:47] Renegade Radio Podcast[3:37] The 80/20 Principle, The ONE Thing, and Essentialism[4:41] Bedros Keuilian[13:23] Self Control App[24:04] Seth Godin[30:49] My Personal  Journey to Hell and Back, BlogFOLLOW:We'd love to hear your thoughts on today's episode.
