    #675: Welcome to Greatest Hits Week – five days, five episodes from our vault, spelling out F-I-I-R-E. Today's letter E stands for Entrepreneurship. This episode originally aired in September 2018, at a moment when startup culture was loud, venture capital was abundant, and entrepreneurship was often framed as something that involves outside investors and rapid growth. ____ In this episode, we rewind the clock to 2018. Remember what entrepreneurship was supposed to look like back then? Build a startup. Raise capital. Scale fast. Get rich. That was the dominant story. But our guest, Rand Fishkin, told a different story – a story about founder burnout, debt, and the downside of startup culture. Rand, the founder of Moz, shares how he and his mother accumulated nearly half a million dollars in debt while running an early services business. He talks about what it felt like to face creditors, negotiate settlements, and keep going under intense financial pressure. From there, we move into one of the most misunderstood ideas in entrepreneurship: the difference between service businesses and product businesses. Rand breaks down the trade-offs. Services generate income faster. Product businesses rely on outside capital. And founders often earn far less than people expect. That leads to a deeper conversation about incentives. Once venture capital enters the picture, priorities shift. Profits matter less. Growth matters more — and it affects both the business and your personal finances. High revenue does not automatically translate into personal wealth. We also talk about the side of entrepreneurship that rarely makes the highlight reels: Loneliness. Anxiety. Depression. And the relief that comes from realizing that even the most successful founders often feel lost while they're building. This conversation feels less like startup advice and more like a long-term framework for thinking clearly about risk, money, and meaning. If you've ever questioned whether entrepreneurship automatically leads to financial freedom, this episode offers a grounded and very honest answer.

    Worried that years of disordered eating have permanently damaged your metabolism? You're not alone. In this Coaching Over Coffee episode, Lindsey addresses one of the most common fears in eating disorder recovery: "Is my metabolism broken?" The truth might surprise you—and it's actually incredibly hopeful. What You'll Learn in This Episode The truth about metabolism: What it actually is and how it works in your body Can you break your metabolism? Spoiler alert: No, but you can slow it down (and speed it back up!) The myth of "calories in vs. calories out" and why this oversimplified formula doesn't tell the whole story What happens to your body during restriction: How your metabolism, digestion, heart rate, and body temperature all slow down to conserve energy Hypermetabolism in recovery: Why your body goes into "high gear" during the restoration process Science-backed hope: Research showing metabolic changes are fully reversible How to boost your metabolism: Practical steps to work WITH your body instead of against it Set point weight explained: Understanding when your body reaches its optimal performance state Key Takeaways Your metabolism isn't broken—it's adaptive. When you restrict food intake over months or years, your body learns to conserve energy by slowing down non-essential functions. Think of it like turning off lights in the house to save power. Research proves recovery is possible. A University of North Carolina study found zero metabolic differences between women who never had eating disorders and those fully recovered from anorexia and bulimia. All metabolic changes are fully reversible. 50-80% of your energy goes to resting functions. Your body needs fuel for basic organ function, tissue repair, fighting infections, physical activity, and digesting food—all before you even get out of bed. The opposite of the disorder is the path to healing. Stop restricting. Start fueling. Embrace food variety. Let go of rigid routines. Prioritize hydration, quality sleep, and self-care. Your body knows better than you think. At set point weight, your metabolism normalizes and your body operates at peak performance—not where society says you should be, but where your body thrives. Quotes from This Episode "You can slow down your metabolism and you can speed up your metabolism, but you can't break your metabolism. It's not ruined, it's not wrecked." "Your body doesn't care how you think it should look, or what society says is the best or the trendiest. Your body cares about its optimal function." "The lie that your eating disorder mind is telling you—that your metabolism is ruined—is just to keep you stuck, to make you believe there's nothing you can do to fix this." "Your body will heal itself, but you must learn to trust and to honor it. It's a two-way street." Resources Mentioned Harvard Medical School research on metabolism variability University of North Carolina and Chapel Hill study on metabolic recovery What's Next? If you're tired of missing the magic in your life because you're trapped in those eating disorder thoughts that are eating away at your mind—I want you to take a stand.

    What if you could quantify the five biggest drivers of chronic illness, then fix the right one first? That's the promise of MVX Plus, a simple, low‑cost blood test that scores malnutrition, toxicity, inflammation, infection, and mitochondrial dysfunction—then turns the results into a clear plan. We sit down with Dr. Darren Schmidt to unpack why so many people spin their wheels on diets and prescriptions, and how a focus on cellular function changes the outcome.We start by challenging the food pyramid mindset and the shaky ground of observational nutrition studies. Instead of worshiping food groups, we get practical about macronutrients. Protein rises as the quiet hero of satiety and metabolic stability, while ultra‑processed foods are engineered to keep you hungry. From there, we dig into real‑world cases: when a patient with lingering gut issues needed steak, not another antimicrobial; when a high MVX score traced back to an acute sinus infection; and how removing toxin exposures can drop your 5‑year risk score in weeks.The takeaway is a blueprint, not a fad. Personalize protein intake, repair digestion so you can actually use it, identify and remove toxic hits, and support mitochondria—sometimes with targeted tools like benfotiamine (B1) to restore energy. We also compare GLP‑1 drugs to low‑carb physiology and explain when each makes sense. If you're tired of guessing, the MVX framework gives you a compass: run the test, act on the dominant bottleneck, and watch your score head down as your health climbs.Want the data to guide your next move? Order the MVX test at the nhca.com (upper right: MVX test), and if you want hand‑holding, become a patient and track your progress every 6–8 weeks.

    Broadcast on Christmas Eve from South Carolina, JB White delivers a wide-ranging and candid episode that blends holiday reflection with sharp geopolitical analysis. After navigating technical hiccups and personal asides, JB turns to what he sees as growing confusion within alternative media, particularly surrounding “sovereign alliance” narratives. He critiques this framework through the lens of U.S. military posture, arms deals with Taiwan, regional containment of China, and America's commander-in-chief authority. JB argues that global power dynamics, alliance structures, and deterrence strategies make simplistic sovereignty narratives untenable. The episode also touches on markets, Bitcoin versus metals, long-term thinking versus short-term speculation, media-driven division, and cultural fault lines inside the conservative movement. Closing with Christmas Eve well-wishes, faith-centered reflections, and a call for discernment, this episode emphasizes patience, strategic clarity, and understanding reality as it is, not as people wish it to be.

    If you've ever delayed scheduling your mammogram because of fear, discomfort, or sheer overwhelm, you're not alone. Many midlife women quietly carry anxiety about breast health, balancing busy lives while putting their own care on the back burner.  In this episode of The Skin Real, Dr. Mary Alice Mina sits down with Dr. Anjali Malik, a breast imaging and interventional radiologist and passionate advocate for women's health. Together, they break down what mammograms actually involve, why annual screening starting at age 40 matters, and how misinformation has unnecessarily scared women away from a life-saving test. This conversation walks you through what to expect before, during, and after a mammogram, explains dense breast tissue in plain language, and reframes screening as an empowering tool rather than something to fear. Key Takeaways: ✓ Annual mammograms starting at age 40 reduce breast cancer mortality by about 40 percent when cancers are caught early ✓ Most mammogram call-backs are not cancer; out of 1,000 women screened, only about five will have cancer ✓ Dense breast tissue is common and not “bad,” but it can affect both cancer risk and imaging clarity ✓ 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) improves cancer detection and lowers unnecessary call-backs ✓ Early detection often means smaller surgeries, fewer aggressive treatments, and better cosmetic outcomes ✓ Monthly breast self-awareness helps you notice changes early, especially between screenings Listen in, share it with a friend you love, and take that next step for yourself.

    What if everything you thought about muscle building, fat loss, and strength training was backwards? In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, host Ben Azadi sits down with Dr. John Jaquish, biomedical engineer, inventor, and author of Weight Lifting Is a Waste of Time, for a deep-dive conversation that challenges traditional fitness dogma. Dr. Jaquish explains why conventional weightlifting, bulking, and endless cardio are inefficient, unnecessary, and often counter-productive for real body recomposition. He shares the science behind variable resistance training, how high protein intake drives metabolism, why low carbohydrate thresholds matter, and how your body can build muscle and burn fat simultaneously without joint destruction or outdated exercise myths. Whether you lift weights regularly or you've ever felt stuck in your progress, this episode will flip your assumptions about muscle, fat loss, and strength gains — and give you a new framework to achieve both lean muscle and metabolic freedom. Key Topics Covered • Why body recomposition is possible at all fitness levels • How variable resistance training (like X3) outperforms traditional lifting • Why high protein consumption accelerates fat loss • The science behind low carbohydrate thresholds for muscle glycogen • Myths about how much protein the body can absorb • Why calories are a flawed measure for muscle growth • Essential amino acids, creatine, peptides — what works and when • How short, high-intensity training minimizes joint wear • Why traditional cardio rarely drives body recomposition Books Mentioned

    Join Robert Llewellyn, Jack Scarlett, and Imogen Bhogal for a special year-end wrap-up as they take a mystery tour through the biggest moments of 2025, from unforgettable shoots, to the clean tech stories that really mattered, and share their bold predictions for what's coming in 2026. They kick things off by debunking the myth that EV sales are collapsing, revealing that global battery-electric vehicle sales are actually up 19% year-on-year. From there, the trio dive into their personal "Magic Money Tree" dream garages, featuring the Polestar 5, Kia EV9, the gloriously childish Ioniq 6 N, and Jack's verdict on the potentially game-changing BMW iX3.  There are also behind-the-scenes stories from some of the year's most memorable shoots — including the legendary solar safari in Namibia and the huge electric ferry project in Hobart.

    Weight Loss Drug Wars, Chromothripsis Cancer Discovery, Steroid Blood Clot Risks, Creatine for Elders, Mammogram Study Flaws, Red Meat Myths, and Dr. Oz's Report Card

    Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 12-18-2025: Dr. Dawn opens by examining how market competition is actually working in the weight loss drug sector. Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy compete against Eli Lilly's Monjaro and ZepBound, with prices dropping nearly 50% as companies launch direct-to-consumer websites. The main barriers remain needles and refrigeration, driving development of oral versions. Novo's Wegovy pill awaits FDA approval for early 2026 launch at $150 monthly. Next-generation drugs show remarkable results: Eli's retatrutide causes 24% weight loss in 48 weeks, while Novo's Cagrisema combines semaglutide with amylin to reduce muscle loss. Pfizer paid $10 billion for Metsera's once-monthly drug despite significant side effects. A quick fiber tip suggests adding plain psyllium to morning coffee for cardiovascular and microbiome benefits. Start with half a teaspoon and work up to two teaspoons (10 grams) over several weeks to avoid gas. The prebiotic fiber improves glucose tolerance and may reduce cancer risk. UC San Diego scientists discovered why cancers mutate so rapidly despite being eukaryotic cells with protected chromosomes. The answer is chromothripsis, a catastrophic event where the enzyme N4BP2 literally explodes chromosomes into fragments. These reassemble incorrectly, generating dozens to hundreds of mutations simultaneously and creating circular DNA fragments carrying cancer-promoting genes. One in four cancers show evidence of this mechanism, with all osteosarcomas and many brain cancers displaying it. This explains why the most aggressive cancers resist treatment. Research from 2013 shows any glucocorticoid use significantly increases venous thromboembolism risk, with threefold increases during the first month of use. The risk applies to new and recurrent clots, affecting both oral and inhaled steroids, though IV poses highest risk and topical the lowest. Joint injections fall somewhere between inhaled and oral. Anyone with prior blood clots should avoid steroids except for life-threatening situations like severe asthma attacks requiring ventilation. A meta-analysis of 20 randomized controlled trials shows creatine supplementation helps older adults (48-84) maintain muscle mass when combined with weight training two to three times weekly. The supplement provides no benefit without exercise. Recommended dosing starts at 2 grams and works up to 5 grams daily. Vegans benefit most since they consume little meat or fish. Important caveat: creatine throws off standard kidney function tests (creatinine), so users should request cystatin C testing instead for accurate renal health assessment. A new JAMA study suggesting risk-based mammogram screening is fatally flawed. First, researchers offered chemopreventative drugs like tamoxifen only to the high-risk group, contaminating the study design. Second, the demographics skewed heavily toward white college-educated women, missing the reality that Black women face twice the risk of aggressive breast cancer with 40% higher mortality. Third, wild-type humans failed to follow instructions—low-risk women continued getting annual mammograms anyway while high-risk women skipped recommended extra screenings. The conclusion of "non-inferior" outcomes is meaningless given poor adherence. Stick with annual mammograms, and consider alternating with MRIs for high-risk women. The EAT-Lancet report condemns red meat based purely on observational data showing correlations with heart disease, cancer, and mortality. But people who eat lots of red meat differ dramatically from low consumers: they weigh more, smoke more, exercise less, and eat less fiber. Studies can't control for sleep quality, depression, or screen time. Notably, heavy meat eaters also die more in accidents, suggesting a risk-taking lifestyle phenotype. The inflammatory marker TMAO is higher in meat eaters, but starch is also pro-inflammatory. Eating red meat instead of instant ramen might improve health. A balanced diet with limited amounts beats epidemiology-based blanket statements. Dr. Dawn grades Dr. Oz's performance as CMS administrator. Starting at minus one for zero relevant experience, he earns plus two for promoting diet, exercise, and gut health on his show. He studied intensively after nomination, calling all four previous CMS directors repeatedly and surrounding himself with experienced staff (plus one). He finalized Medicare rules favoring prevention over surgery and earned bipartisan praise as "a real scientist, not radical" (plus one). He divested healthcare holdings but kept some blind trust interests (minus 0.5). He's developing a CMS app and partnering with Google on a digital health ecosystem (plus one), but supports ending ACA subsidies that will raise premiums for millions (minus one). He correctly promoted COVID vaccines and contradicted Trump's Tylenol-autism claims (plus one). Final score: 3.5 out of 5 possible points, the only positive score for any Trump health administrator.

    Former senior CIA officer John Sipher joins Chris to break down what Western audiences get wrong about Russian intelligence—starting with what it's actually like to operate inside one of the world's most hostile counterintelligence environments. Sipher explains the KGB-to-Putin throughline, why Moscow treats intelligence as a frontline tool of regime survival, and how “active measures” and reflexive control shape Russia's political warfare abroad. He also pushes back on myths of intelligence work, digs into how the West misread Russia's strength and Ukraine's will to fight, and lays out what containment—and a post-Putin future—might realistically look like. The conversation closes with a sharp look at disinformation, conspiracy culture, and why Hollywood keeps getting espionage wrong.

    In this episode of Trading Secrets, we're joined by Jason Gamel, President & CEO of the American Resort Development Association (ARDA), to break down the real business of vacation ownership. With over 25 years of experience spanning hospitality, law, and leadership, Jason oversees the trade group shaping how millions of Americans vacation every year—and he's here to separate myth from fact. We dive into why the modern timeshare industry looks nothing like it did decades ago, how flexibility and point-based systems have changed the game, and why vacation ownership has quietly become one of the most resilient sectors in U.S. travel, even during economic uncertainty. If you're planning travel for 2026 (or beyond), this episode is packed with practical, consumer-first insights—including how timeshares actually compare to hotels and short-term rentals when it comes to cost, space, predictability, and long-term value.

    Charlotte Palermino is a licensed esthetician, co-founder of Dieux Skin, writer and self proclaimed skincare freak. She joins the show for an honest, no-nonsense conversation around beauty standards, treatments, what actually matters in skincare and what absolutely doesn't. We get into the first skincare brand she ever fell in love with, the beauty products she thinks are totally overrated and the weirdest treatment she's ever tried. Charlotte shares her go-to approach for treating hyperpigmentation, her laser recommendations, the number one thing everyone should be doing for better skin and why so many of us still get duped by clever marketing. We also unpack the realities of perioral dermatitis, why lawsuits ironically protect the beauty industry, how U.S. and EU regulations really differ and why Europe is often idealized for all the wrong reasons. Plus: the percentages that actually matter when reading ingredient lists, the future of skincare through her skeptical lens and the affordable brands she genuinely recommends.This episode is brought to you by:Go to justthrivehealth.com and use code WELL for 20% off your first 90 day bottle of Just Thrive probiotic.
