    282: In this episode, I'm joined by Brian Sanders, founder of the Food Lies docuseries, to break down how we ended up trapped in a culture dominated by ultra-processed foods and confusing diet options. We unpack why so many popular diets fail, how to actually find satiety, and what human cultures around the world reveal about the link between plant-based diets and longevity (it's not what you think). Brian also exposes the truth about seed oils, cholesterol, and why his health markers improved when he embraced a more animal-based approach. If you're overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice, this episode will help you finally make sense of it all. Topics Discussed: → Why are ultra-processed foods making us sick and hungry all the time? → Do plant-based diets really lead to longevity? → What do hunter-gatherer diets reveal about the best human diet? → How do harmful industrial oils stack up to traditional fats like olive oil and tallow? → Is cholesterol actually bad for you?

    The ALL ME® Podcast Turmeric: The Super Herb – Dr. Gene Bruno In this enlightening episode of the All Me Podcast, host Don Hooten speaks with Dr. Gene Bruno, known as the Vitamin Professor, about the significance of nutrition and herbal medicine, particularly focusing on turmeric. Dr. Bruno shares his personal journey into the world of nutrition, the benefits of turmeric, its role in inflammation and cancer, and the importance of bioavailability in supplements. The conversation also touches on safety, potential side effects, and how to find quality turmeric products. The episode concludes with a light-hearted curveball round of questions, showcasing Dr. Bruno's personality and insights. Takeaways Dr. Bruno's journey into nutrition began with his grandmother's cancer story. Turmeric is a traditional herbal medicine with numerous health benefits. The bioavailability of curcumin in turmeric is very low without proper delivery systems. Turmeric can be taken daily for preventive health benefits. Combining turmeric with other herbs can enhance its effectiveness. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. It's important to consult experts rather than rely on social media for supplement advice. Turmeric may help in cancer treatment as part of an integrative approach. Safety concerns exist for pregnant women regarding turmeric use. Quality turmeric supplements can be found through knowledgeable sources.

    Oscar Barrera — How Business Anthropology Helped A Sourdough Company Grow

    What if the fastest route to meaningful growth isn't about launching another ad campaign, hiring more salespeople, or optimizing your funnel? What if the real accelerator is simply listening—really listening—to what's already happening around you? In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Oscar Barrera, PhD—a brilliant corporate anthropologist and innovation strategist based in Mexico. Oscar and I share a core conviction: anthropology isn't just something you do; it's a way of seeing the world. It allows leaders to notice subtle patterns—those taking shape in their markets, inside their own companies, and in the everyday lives of their customers—even when the clues are hiding in plain sight. Oscar's work drives home a powerful point: the real obstacles to growth are often hidden. Not because they're imaginary, but because we haven't been trained to spot them. Meet Dr. Oscar Barrera: An Anthropologist Forging His Own Path Oscar's journey is as unconventional as it is inspiring. He earned his doctorate in social and cultural anthropology at the University of Washington, with years of fieldwork in Guatemala's highlands. But like so many academics, he realized that the expected career path—university teaching—wasn't really available. So Oscar got creative. He returned home to Mexico and started his own consulting practice from the ground up. He learned the language of business by reading voraciously, listening intently, and immersing himself in the entrepreneurial world—joining business groups, building relationships, and cultivating a brand that helped business leaders understand how anthropology could transform what they do. Through his firm, Anthropology Corp Cooperativa, Oscar helps organizations unlock deep understanding about their customers, employees, and markets—then turn those insights into human-centered strategies for growth and innovation. He also hosts a fantastic podcast called Nuevas Posibilidades ("New Possibilities"), which explores innovation, anthropology, and the future of work. A Real-World Case: Sourdough in a Sweet Bread Nation Oscar shared a wonderful story that brings anthropology to life. A bakery owner in Mexico was crafting sourdough bread: wholesome, preservative-free, and free of additives. But he was up against a market where bread is usually sweet, steeped in tradition, and sold cheaply. Here's the twist: the bakery wasn't struggling with demand. Instead, something unexpected was happening—distributors (mostly women) were approaching the bakery on their own, asking if they could resell the bread in their hometowns. The owner's question wasn't theoretical—it was urgent: Who are these women, and how can I grow this kind of distribution model intentionally? As he put it, he wanted "the formula." Why Anthropology Was Essential Oscar's first instinct was to do what anthropologists do best: ethnography. Go to the site, observe, listen, and understand the full context. But travel simply wasn't possible. So he adapted, because good anthropology is all about flexibility. He used remote interviews—speaking with distributors and customers over the phone and online. And what he learned should be a wake-up call for every leader: People will tell you what matters to them—if you listen with the right kind of attention. Oscar was surprised that sometimes meeting online made people more comfortable. It was safe, structured, and time-limited—there was no lingering vulnerability once the conversation ended. Watch our Podcast on YouTube The Discovery: A Purpose-Driven Sales Network The bakery owner assumed his distributors were motivated by money. Oscar found something far richer. These women were selling bread not just for income, but because they: Had personal or family health concerns Wanted to support and uplift their communities Believed deeply in natural, preservative-free foods Had stories that connected them emotionally to the product They weren't just pushing a product—they were sharing a solution and part of their own identities. They were savvy, too, introducing the bread at workplaces, gyms, and local events. Tasting led to trust—and more sales. This was no "features and benefits" transaction. This bread was an experience—one that resonated with values and stories. Five Key Ingredients for Scalable Growth Oscar translated these insights into actionable steps. He identified five elements that would determine whether the bakery's model could truly scale: Shared values and philosophy: The top distributors believed in a mission: boosting health and helping people, not just selling bread. Time and logistics: Without preservatives and in a hot climate, bread spoiled quickly. Delivery schedules and pickups became hidden bottlenecks. Packaging matters: Flimsy boxes led to crushed loaves—hurting both trust and credibility. Social selling support: Distributors used WhatsApp and Facebook, but needed better tools and content. The company needed to provide easily shareable visuals and educational materials. Customer experience and sampling: People didn't buy from a description—they bought after tasting. Real-life sampling was the engine of growth. What I love here is that Oscar didn't need a formal operations report to uncover these constraints. He surfaced them by deeply listening to lived experience—by drawing out stories. Bigger Than Bread: How Meaning Moves Markets One of the most profound insights was symbolic. Sourdough isn't "traditional Mexican bread." Yet, through the personal stories of these women, it became a bridge: a way to enjoy bread as part of daily life, to choose health without abandoning cultural identity, and to stay connected to tradition while eating differently. That's not just good marketing—it's anthropology in action. Lessons for Leaders Everywhere Oscar summed it up beautifully: Success often hides in plain sight, in details we overlook. Anthropology equips leaders and companies to see what's invisible and hear what's unsaid. True innovation doesn't always mean inventing something totally new—it often means listening to what your customers are already telling you. So here's my bottom line: If you're chasing growth, don't just ask, "How do we sell more?" Instead, ask, "What's actually happening in the lives of the people we want to serve that we haven't noticed yet?" When you listen for those answers, real transformation can begin.

    Counterpoint is the “huge topic” that crowns the Neapolitan method and the Paris Conservatoire tradition—and yet it's often taught today in ways that leave students confused, discouraged, and musically disconnected. In this Counterpoint Panel, I'm joined by: • Robert O. Gjerdingen (Author of "Music in the Galant Style", "Child Composers") • Peter van Tour (Author of "Counterpoint and Partimento") • Job IJzerman (Author of "Harmony, Counterpoint, Partimento") We talk about how counterpoint was introduced to each of them, why modern harmony courses often set students up for failure, and why “rules on paper” don't work without singing, playing, and real stylistic vocabulary. We also tackle: • Why counterpoint matters (and what it actually trains) • The truth about Fux and why the “species-only” pipeline so often collapses • Why asking students to “write like Bach” can be a disaster—and what to use instead • Whether everyone needs to write a fugue • What “written counterpoint” training should look like when students already have practical skills • Counterpoint's future: horizontality, melody-making, and creative freedom • If you teach, study, or care about the old training paths (solfeggio → partimento → counterpoint), this episode completes the trilogy.

    In the summer of 1960, seven-year-old Roger Woodward was just a kid looking forward to a boat ride on the Niagara River to celebrate his sister's birthday—he had no idea he was about to experience something that should have been impossible. When a simple mechanical failure turned their peaceful afternoon into a nightmare, Roger found himself being swept toward the edge of Niagara Falls, powerless against 750,000 gallons of water rushing past him every second. What followed was a series of moments so improbable, so perfectly timed, that witnesses called it a miracle—from his sister's desperate fight for survival just feet from the brink, to Roger's own journey over a 188-foot waterfall. This is the story of the boy who fell into Niagara Falls and lived, and the ordinary people who became heroes in the most extraordinary circumstances.

    We open the new year by exposing myths that keep victims unheard and abusers protected: the “nice guy” persona, the anger excuse, the belief that leaving solves everything. With Ruth Guerreiro, Chief Clinical Officer at Genesis Women's Shelter & Support, we walk through the mindsets that drive coercive control and the covert tactics that slip past friends, families, courts, and even clinicians.In this episode, Ruth breaks down recognizable patterns and behaviors of abusive men. From the demand man and Mr. Right to the drill sergeant, the player, and the terrorist, she shows how entitlement fuels different strategies with the same outcome: fear, isolation, and control. We explore social engineering and how a polished public image becomes a weapon in custody disputes and community spaces. You'll also hear why anger management misses the point, how “high conflict” labels mask abuse, and what post‑separation abuse looks like when contact is enforced through parenting apps, daily calls, and court orders.We also get practical. Learn how financial control can hide behind “I'll handle the bills,” why the silent treatment harms more than shouting, how reckless driving is used to terrify, and how location sharing becomes surveillance.

    Stop losing money and risking lawsuits! In this seminar, "7 Myths That Bankrupt Landlords," we debunk the most dangerous misconceptions in property management. Believing these myths can lead to lost eviction actions, thousands in attorney fees, months of lost rent, and heavy civil penalties. Whether you are a new investor or a seasoned pro, setting the record straight on these seven points is essential for protecting your assets: Myth #1: Relying On Your Instincts. Why your "gut feeling" is worthless and why you need a standardized, written Rental Leasing Requirement form. Myth #2: The "Self-Help" Shortcut. The legal dangers of changing locks or turning off utilities. Myth #3: Electronic Payments & Evictions. What happens when a tenant sends a Zelle payment or direct deposit during an eviction?  Myth #4: The Month-to-Month Misconception. Why a 30-day notice or a lease expiration doesn't always mean a tenant must vacate. Myth #5: The Security Deposit "Payday." Understanding "normal wear and tear" and the strict 21-day rule for itemized receipts. Myth #6: The "Lease is King" Fallacy. Why you cannot "contract away" a tenant's legal rights, even if they signed the agreement. Myth #7: New Ownership Rights. What actually happens to a lease when a building is sold or a landlord passes away. Don't let a simple mistake bankrupt your business. Watch now to learn the rules, the reality, and how to stay compliant with the law. Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes and does not constitute legal advice.

    The Liquidity Event
    New York Tax Exit Myths, OpenAI Equity Donations, and IPO Scam Warnings – Episode 170

    In this episode of The Liquidity Event, AJ and Shane kick off the new year by breaking down why leaving New York to avoid taxes is far harder than many high earners expect. Using a recent New York Times article as a starting point, they explain how New York residency audits actually work, the difference between quantitative and qualitative tests, and why most people who try to leave the state ultimately fail. They then shift to OpenAI's decision to finally allow employees to donate equity to charity, why the move matters in the ongoing AI talent war, and how equity structure and tax timing play into charitable planning. The episode wraps with a deep dive into IPO scams, explaining how regulatory carveouts meant to encourage public listings instead enabled a wave of fraudulent foreign companies — and why retail investors are often the ones left holding the bag. Taxes, equity, audits, and a classic Reddit money question to close out the year.

    WOF 522: What's It Like to Be a Catholic Bishop?

    St. Pope John Paul the II memorably observed that the Catholic Church comes from the eucharist and that the eucharist, in turn, comes from priests. As Bishop Barron noted in a recent letter to his diocese, "by an inescapable logic [therefore] no priests, no Church." We should add, however, that priests come from bishops, which expands the ecclesial logic to this: no bishops, no priests; no priests, no eucharist; no eucharist, no church. In other words, bishops not only hold an important administrative position within the Church; tracing their authority back to the apostles and, ultimately, to Jesus Christ himself, they constitute the very sacramental and liturgical foundation of Catholicism itself. That, to say the least, is a weighty responsibility. So what is it like to be a bishop? How does one come to hold this office? What, specifically, do bishops have authority over–and what don't they have authority over? What kind of relationship do they have with each other and with the Holy Father, the pope? What are their day-to-day obligations and activities?  And what are some challenges they face that both clergy and laity may not be aware of? A listener asks what made Bishop Barron want to be a priest. Topics Covered: 01:38 | Bishop Barron's Thanksgiving in Chicago 02:45 | The origins of the office of bishop 04:51 | The theological dimension of the bishop's role 06:41 | The liturgical symbols of the office 10:45 | Bishop Barron's coat of arms 12:12 | How does one become a bishop? 16:10 | How are dioceses formed? 17:20 | Relating bishop to archbishop 18:51 | Understanding the bishop's authority 20:03 | What is a chancery? 21:03 | Essential tasks of the bishop 29:38 | Bishop Barron's approach to his official duties 33:01 | The meaning and authority of a conference of bishops 37:19 | Myths about Catholic bishops 40:06 | Listener question: What made you become a priest? 41:41 | Join the Word on Fire Institute   Links: United States Conference of Catholic Bishops: https://www.usccb.org/ Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/   NOTE: Do you like this podcast?
