PRE-ORDER the upcoming book now: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-bookWe aren't gonna tell you how to fix ADD/ADHD. (Spoiler alert, you or your loved one don't need fixing.) We are, however, going to teach our 6-month group on how to relate to ADHD, in yourself or in someone else. The actual problem is a societal standard our brain wasn't designed for. In this podcast we are talking about months 3 & 4 of the slow group curriculum. We will explore navigating overwhelm, and our capacity versus our desire. Modern society rewards our working beyond our capacity, forcing many of us to burnout and collapse. No wonder it's even more difficult to not fit the standard productivity mold that shames so many patterns of ADHD brain types. The slow group will learn how to assess, then tend to, capacity. Instead of living from desire, an inherently dominating pattern, we can start to honor the ebb and flow of our capacity. An important element is finding our unique motivators, based in pleasure and interest, as willpower does not provide the dopamine to motivate an ADHD brain.  Also discussed will be relationships, from the perspective of the person with ADHD, or from the perspective of being in relationship with the person with ADHD. Camille and Luis talk about how they navigate their family relationships when different brains need different systems from each other to thrive. You can register for the FREE Food Therapy session here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/events/recover-from-burnout You can read more about, and register for, Camille's Embodying My Cycles & Rhythms 6-month group here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/cycles-and-rhythms-slow-group You can read more about, and register for, the Embodied ADHD 6-month program, here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/slow-practice-adhd----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/ You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

Minter Dial welcomes Anthony Reeves, creative leader and author of "Eat the Donkey," for an honest and deeply personal discussion that bridges the worlds of the Australian Outback and today's most competitive boardrooms. Anthony brings a unique perspective shaped by his early years in one of the harshest landscapes on earth and his subsequent rise through the ranks of global giants like Amazon, WPP, and Kohler. Together, Minter and Anthony examine the lessons of resilience, perseverance, and purposeful stillness—insights drawn from both childhood survival and high-stakes business. Anthony shares candid stories about his journey, including what it's truly like to work inside Amazon's legendary culture of customer obsession, frugality, and relentless invention, and how those principles translate to sustainable long-term success. The conversation dives into the tension between busyness and meaningful productivity, the pitfalls of short-term thinking driven by market pressures, and why so many companies lose sight of what really matters. Anthony opens up about his own breaking point—how outward markers of success can mask internal struggles—and challenges leaders to pursue purpose and impact over perfection. Minter and Anthony also discuss why great companies must accept imperfection, focus on being extraordinary at what matters most, and cultivate environments where people—and brands—can find meaning, inside and out. Throughout, Anthony's hard-won wisdom blends with Minter's probing questions, offering actionable takeaways for anyone grappling with the realities of modern leadership, fulfillment, and organizational culture. Tune in for a conversation that's as much about humanity and what we value as it is about business, and discover new frameworks for building resilient, purpose-driven organizations in an ever-changing world.

The conversation with formulator Matt Legge pulls back the curtain on the supplement industry, framing it as a metaphysical struggle between genuine intent and the corporate Machine. Matt's journey is a hero's exile from structures like Metagenics, which prioritize efficiency over the soul of the product. This machine churns out soulless, AI-generated formulas that chase "white space," utterly neglecting the deep clinical insight of Root Cause Analysis—a meditation of the pulse. The founder's sacrifice creates the Pearl of Reciprocity, the organizational soul. The primary struggle is protecting this soul from "middle management" by constantly acting as the Chief Reminding Officer (CRO). The ultimate takeaway is a profound choice: to ethically play the regulatory puzzle with a full-spectrum approach and prioritize being the most respected—the "early bird gets the worm"—over merely being the biggest.   CORE INSIGHTS: [1:00-1:50] The Formulator's "Exile" and the Call to Invent: Deemed "unemployable" by a major practitioner brand due to his excess of innovative ideas, Matt Legge was effectively pushed to start his own supplement brand. [2:30-3:30] Critique of Claim-Driven Formulation: The core problem in the supplement industry is formulating for claims using single, trademarked extracts, disregarding the natural synergy of multi-ingredient or whole-herb formulations. [5:30-6:30] The Threat of AI-Generated Formulas: New brands often use AI or agencies to formulate identical, "soulless" products (e.g., Ashwagandha, B6, Magnesium Glycinate) based on market "white space," which sidesteps genuine root cause analysis. [9:30-10:30] Root Cause as Clinical "Meditation": Identifying the true root cause is subjective, requiring deep clinical insight—like a "meditation" of the pulse—that goes beyond generic university diagnoses. [11:30-13:00] The Limitations of RCTs in Natural Medicine: The parachute analogy to argue that natural medicine, with thousands of years of traditional use, does not always require modern RCTs that often exclude the sick people the medicine is meant to help. [14:00-15:30] The "Pearl of Reciprocity" and Organizational Soul: Mason views a founder's genuine intent and sacrifice as creating the "Pearl of Reciprocity"—a metaphysical, organizational soul that guides the company toward its purpose of "health and harmony." [29:00-30:00] The Chief Reminding Officer (CRO): To combat high staff turnover ("The Wiggles Theory"), the founder must act as the "Chief Reminding Officer" (CRO), perpetually repeating the brand's foundational ethos and "campfire stories" to maintain its core cultural spirit. [35:30-36:30] Innovation Stifled by Middle Management: Middle management, lacking the company's ethos, stifled innovation by rejecting Matt's inventions because a market segment for the original ideas did not yet exist. [54:30-56:00] The Ethical Full-Spectrum Formulation Approach: Modern ethical formulation uses a nuanced approach: combining standardized extracts (for regulatory claims) with full-spectrum whole herbs to ensure nature's full synergy.

Have you ever pursued something with your whole heart, only to arrive and realize, “This isn't it”? In this episode of The Driven Introvert Podcast, we're diving deep into what it looks like to pivot when a long-held dream no longer fits. If you've ever struggled with letting go of a passion, project, or even a piece of your identity, this one's for you. We're talking all about navigating identity crisis with honesty, courage, and faith.I share a personal story of falling in love with writing, from publishing my first short stories online, to chasing writing prizes, to finally releasing a book of fiction. For a long time, writing wasn't just something I did, it was who I believed I was. But what happens when that no longer rings true? What do you do when what once gave you joy and purpose now feels like a closed chapter?Navigating identity crisis can feel like losing a part of yourself. But sometimes, it's the very invitation God uses to usher you into something new. In this episode, I reflect on how I've learned to discern the difference between quitting and releasing. Sometimes, walking away from something, even something good, is exactly what creates space for your next “yes.”We also explore insights from The Next Right Thing by Emily P. Freeman. I unpack a powerful story about chasing achievements that don't fulfill us, and the quiet realization that more isn't always better. Sometimes, success can still leave us feeling empty. That's when we have to ask the deeper questions: Is this still right for me? Who am I now? And where is God leading me next?If you've been wrestling with questions about your path, your passions, or your purpose, this episode offers space to breathe and reflect. Whether you're stepping away from a career, a dream, a creative pursuit, or even a role you once cherished, I want to remind you: it's okay to change.In fact, it might be the most courageous thing you can do.Inside this episode:My journey from aspiring writer to discovering a new callingThe emotional toll of quitting something tied to your identityHow to know when it's time to let goA soul-centered perspective on decision-making and surrenderReflection questions to help you assess your next stepRemember, navigating identity crisis isn't about abandoning your past, it's about making peace with who you've been, so you can fully step into who you're becoming.

In this episode of "The DO Show," mortgage expert Dustin Owen takes a deep dive into the concept of home equity, thoroughly explaining what it is, how it accumulates over time, and why it is such a valuable asset for homeowners. He breaks down the various ways in which home equity can build, such as through regular mortgage payments, property value appreciation, and home improvements, helping listeners understand the mechanics behind growing their wealth through real estate ownership. Dustin then explores the financial tools available to homeowners who wish to access their home equity, focusing specifically on Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs) and Home Equity Loans. He provides a detailed comparison of these two options, outlining how each works, their respective advantages and disadvantages, and the scenarios in which one might be more appropriate than the other. He also discusses the potential risks involved, such as fluctuating interest rates with HELOCs or the possibility of overleveraging, and stresses the importance of understanding the terms and conditions before proceeding. Throughout the episode, Dustin emphasizes the critical role of education and professional guidance when making decisions about leveraging home equity. He draws important lessons from the 2008 financial crisis, illustrating how misuse or misunderstanding of home equity products contributed to widespread financial hardship for many families. By sharing these insights, Dustin encourages listeners to approach home equity with caution and to seek advice from trusted mortgage professionals. Ultimately, Dustin's message is clear: when used responsibly and strategically, home equity can be a powerful tool for building long-term wealth, funding major expenses, or investing in new opportunities. However, he cautions that irresponsible use or lack of knowledge can quickly turn this asset into a liability, leading to financial stress or even loss of one's home. He urges listeners to educate themselves, consult with experts, and make informed choices to ensure that leveraging home equity serves as a benefit rather than a burden.

Despite all the opportunities it opens, retirement can be a hard road if you fail to engage in proper planning, as we explore in this week's episode of the Faculty Factory Podcast with returning guest Skip Brown, MD. As a clinical professor of pediatrics at UTMB in Galveston, Texas, Dr. Brown is a past vice chair for clinical affairs and a former chief medical officer at UTMB. A past president of the Texas Pediatric Society (TPS), he is a recipient of the TPS Charles W. Daeschner, Jr. Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to the health and welfare of Texas children. You can check out his first episode with us, “The Definitive Guide to a Fulfilling Retirement Journey,” here: https://facultyfactory.podbean.com/e/the-definitive-guide-to-a-fulfilling-retirement-journey-with-ow-skip-brown-md/ When you retire and reflect on how you want to spend your time, be mindful of the 90/10 rule: 90 percent of the work gets done by 10 percent of the people. “You can become much busier than you might want to be if you donate your time and skills,” he said. Dr. Brown's advice: guard your freedom, stay selective about your time, and resist the pull to take on everything just because you're capable. Equally important is learning to dial back perfectionism. Perhaps the most powerful theme of the conversation was identity. He reflected on colleagues who stayed in their roles not because they wanted to, but because they had no idea who they were outside of their work. The antidote isn't a rigid plan, but genuine reflection. As Dr. Brown put it simply: you're about to work for the most insightful boss you've ever had — yourself. It's worth getting to know them.

In this episode, host Ashley Blackington sits down with Caroline Benefield—digital marketer, stepparent, and someone who found herself living a decade of life in 18 months. Caroline shares what it really means to become the third parent in a blended family, how she navigated losing both parents while building a new family dynamic, and what happens when your dream job turns out not to be your dream.Between January 2022 and June 2023, Caroline got engaged, bought a house, moved in with her fiancé and his two kids, lost both parents, managed two estates as an only child, canceled her wedding, got married on her back porch, left corporate life, wrote a romance series, and started a digital marketing business. Through it all, she's been learning how to show up as a secure, trusted adult in her stepkids' lives—with boundaries, intention, and a lot of therapy.In This Episode-What it means to be "the third parent" in a blended family—not the replacement, not the villain, but an additional secure adult-Why Caroline's approach is about enhancing existing support rather than reinventing the wheel-How she and her husband decided which parenting responsibilities she'd take on—and which ones stay with the biological parents-The importance of moving into a new house together rather than slotting into an existing family home-Navigating grief while building a new family—losing her father after a decade-long decline and her mother suddenly within 18 months-Estate planning lessons: why her mom's organized estate closed in 9 months while her dad's is still open after 4 years-What happens when your dream job (becoming a romance author) turns out not to be your dream-Why she started a digital marketing business specifically for moms and women—the people shortest on time with the most to give-The fiber arts connection: how teaching the kids to crochet and needlepoint became a way to share something her own mom taught herKey Quotes"My job as a stepparent is not to reinvent the wheel in their lives. My job is to come in and give them extra support and resources to navigate all of the complications and emotions that come with little bodies and little brains."— Caroline Benefield"If you are not married to your partner and you don't intend to be, please, please set them up for success. Please set everything up."— Caroline Benefield on estate planningResources & LinksCaroline's website: southerngritdigital.comServices: Digital marketing for creatives, entrepreneurs, moms, and women (email marketing, compliance audits, digital ads, full-service packages) Action Steps for Listeners1. If you're dating someone with kids: Ask yourself if you can be a safe and secure adult in their lives. That's the starting point.2. If you're in a blended family: Have clear conversations about boundaries and responsibilities before integration gets messy. Who handles discipline? What decisions require both biological parents?3. Estate planning reminder: Set up rights of survivorship, trusts, and clear documentation. Even if you have a will, it's not enough if things have to go through probate.4.

I recently had the pleasure of joining Anthony Harcher on his podcast Me & My Health Up to talk about something I'm deeply passionate about: longevity, menopause, and andropause. For most of human history, people simply didn't live long enough to experience many of the hormonal transitions we see today. Thanks to advances in medicine, our lifespan has increased dramatically—but now the real question is: how do we ensure our healthspan keeps up with it? My journey into longevity medicine actually began in geriatrics, where I spent years caring for aging patients. During that time, I started noticing clear patterns in how people age, what leads to disease, and what could have been prevented much earlier in life. In this conversation with Anthony, I share insights on: • What the "pause" really means in menopause and andropause • Why living longer doesn't always mean living healthier  • How preventative medicine can change the trajectory of aging • The role hormones play in maintaining long-term vitality • What we can do today to support healthy aging and longevity    Longevity isn't just about adding years to life — it's about adding life to those years. If you're interested in longevity science, hormone health, preventative medicine, and optimizing your healthspan, this conversation is for you.    Thank you to Anthony Harcher and the Me & My Health Up podcast for the opportunity to share this important discussion   .

This monthly series features an episode sharing my recent highs and lows, how my habits are going, a Do Something List update, plus what I'm loving lately and my commitments for the upcoming month. I hope this glimpse into my life, my family, my work, and my own self development encourages you in your own journey. Around here the goal is never perfection, just to keep trying, even if in very simple ways. I think you'll see that with all of the big changes going on for me, taking the smallest of steps has helped to keep me afloat and feeling like myself. As always, I encourage you to get messy, too!  Special links: Sourdough Cookbook; Cinnamon foccaccia recipe (can use without sourdough); Undereye patches; Check to see if you won a prize from our Favorite Things Giveaway.  Get the free DSL Training.

Mark Kenyon is no stranger to Mountain & Prairie listeners—he's the author of "That Wild Country," host of the Wired to Hunt podcast, and the newly minted Director of Conservation at MeatEater. He's also one of the most voracious readers I know. Every few years, Mark and I record a special episode where we discuss our top 10 favorite books in a particular category. The first one was our top 10 conservation books, then we explored our top 10 books about the American West—you can find links to both of those episodes in the show notes. For this episode, we decided to discuss our top 10 adventure books—a category that both Mark and I love and have spent decades reading. We each brought five books that have stayed with us. Some are classics. Some are newer. Some are brutal. Some are unexpectedly funny. All of them reveal something about the human drive to embrace discomfort and move toward the unknown rather than away from it. Yes, Mark and I love reading adventure books for entertainment and enjoyment, but we also both try to extract lessons from these wild stories that can be applied to our own lives. Whether we're thinking about family, assessing risk, leadership, attitude, or simply not taking ourselves too seriously, there are important lessons to be learned from even the most outlandish adventures. So this conversation goes much deeper than a simple "Read this book because it's good"—we discuss how these books have shaped us and how they continue to influence our thinking. And if you like book recommendations, be sure to sign up for my bimonthly book recommendations email. For more than ten years, I've been sending one email every other month featuring books I recently read and highly recommend. The topics and genres are all over the place—and can admittedly be a little weird—but people seem to enjoy them, so I keep sending them. I just published my recommendations for January and February 2026, so you can find a link in the show notes and sign up if you're interested.

After a century-long absence, gray wolves are returning to California. Biologists estimate some 70 wolves are living in the state, and recently, a female wolf traveled into Los Angeles County, the first such sighting. But their comeback is not without controversy. Ranchers in rural counties say they're losing livestock to predation, while conservationists say the wolves bring ecological benefits as they reclaim part of their historic range. How do you think the state should manage our wolves?

What happens when your worst fear becomes your reality—and it lasts 21 years?In this unforgettable episode of Nightmare Success In and Out, host Brent Cassity interviews Sibil “Fox” Richardson and Robert “Rob” Richardson, the New Orleans couple featured in the award-winning documentary ** TIME **. Fox and Rob share the true story of surviving as an incarcerated family—raising six sons, enduring separation, and navigating the Louisiana justice system after Rob received a 61-year sentence and was sent to Angola Prison.They break down what the documentary couldn't fully show: the pressure on marriage, the emotional cost on children, the grit required to keep hope alive, and the legal fight that ultimately led to freedom. Today, Fox and Rob continue their mission through Participatory Defense Movement NOLA (an initiative of Rich Family Ministries)—training families to become powerful advocates and helping save years of incarceration by organizing community-based defense.If you've ever wondered how families survive prison, how clemency happens, or what real redemption looks like—this episode is for you.

Navigating the Wild West of Texas Note Deals: Red Flags & Real ReturnsHave you ever been sent a deal that looks too good to be true, or perhaps just a little... "off"? In this special edition of Note Night in America, we're pulling back the curtain on a recent tape of 76 performing Texas notes. While the high interest rates and rural charm might catch your eye, the real story lies in the due diligence. Join us as we dissect a "daisy chain" of brokers, hunt down the truth through county records, and show you exactly how to calculate if a low-balance note is a diamond in the rough or a high-cost headache. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a "note buying for dummies" student, this deep dive into the "Spidey senses" of investing is a masterclass you can't afford to miss.Key Topics Covered in This Episode:Identifying "Joker Brokers" & Daisy Chains: How to spot when a deal is being passed through too many hands and why not being "direct to the seller" can frustrate your negotiations.The "Spidey Sense" of Due Diligence: Why a lack of loan numbers, third-party servicing, or RMLO (Registered Mortgage Loan Originator) verification should be an immediate red flag for any investor.Deep-Dive Research Techniques: Learn how to use batch geo-mapping, county deed searches, and lender website audits to verify the "hustle" and find the true origin of the notes.The Math of Arbitrage: A step-by-step breakdown of buying notes at 80% of the Unpaid Principal Balance (UPB) while funding them with private money at 85% to create instant "up-front" profit and long-term cash flow.Texas High-Cost Loan Hazards: Understanding the risks of interest rates exceeding 10% in Texas and how low down payments (under 10%) can complicate foreclosures.Amortization & Exit Strategies: How to use amortization tables to determine exactly when you must sell a note before the balance drops below what you owe your investors.Rural Property Realities: The challenges of getting accurate BPOs (Broker Price Opinions) in small towns like Alice, Spur, and Sweetwater, and why "windshield time" is sometimes the only way to verify value.Closing thoughts:Success in note investing isn't just about finding a list; it's about having the discipline to walk away when the numbers—or the stories—don't add up. We appreciate the hustle of every new investor, but our goal is to ensure you're making bids that actually close and protecting your reputation with your funding partners. Don't let a "daisy chain" wrap you in knots. Take these lessons, sharpen your research tools, and keep marketing.

When you're raising a child with complex medical needs, the early years can feel like one long stretch of survival mode. Hospital stays, surgeries, therapies, and constant uncertainty loom large over everything.For Cindy, that uncertainty started before her son Thoren was even born. After a routine ultrasound raised concerns, her family began a medical journey that would eventually reveal not just one rare condition, but a genetic mutation so uncommon that Thor was one of the first documented cases in the world. In this episode, Cindy shares the story of Thor's early years: surgeries shortly after birth, years of hospitalizations, and learning how to advocate for his medical needs again and again. She also talks about the emotional side of caregiving: the grief that shows up in unexpected moments, the challenges of navigating medical systems, and the complicated transition that happens when survival mode finally begins to ease. Plus, she shares her thoughtful perspectives on the importance (and difficulty) of including Thoren in as many places as possible and why that can prove to be so difficult sometimes.Finally, a big thank you to our sponsor for today's episode, Huckleberry Hiking!

What does it really mean to be a neurodivergent freelancer in photography? In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer, we talk openly about ADHD, autism, burnout, structure, creativity, and building a freelance career that works with your brain - not against it. If traditional advice has never worked for you, this conversation might finally make sense. What We Talk About in This Episode This interview covers the real-world realities of neurodivergent freelancing, including: Managing energy, attention, and overwhelm Creating structure without rigidity Navigating client communication and expectations Redefining success outside traditional productivity models Letting go of comparison and "shoulds" Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, this conversation encourages photographers to design careers that reflect how they actually function. Redefining Professionalism Being professional doesn't mean masking. It doesn't mean burning yourself out to meet arbitrary standards. And it doesn't mean copying how others work. For neurodivergent photographers, sustainability often comes from self-awareness, boundaries, and permission to work differently. This episode is a reminder that there is no single way to be a "real" photographer - or a successful freelancer.

Dane Moore is back to talk about Kyle Anderson's return, the bench mob's pecking order and ideal state, as well as his newishfound love of Survivor. It was a lot of hoops talk, which makes sense. We also talked about Ayo Dosunmu being attractive. We also talked about Jordan's cat Ford passing away, which ended in some gallows humor and I assure you he is grieving normally and he appreciates all the condolences and nice things people have said. Jordan also told me to tell you to look up Continuing Bonds Theory by Klass, Silverman, and Nickman, as well as Neimeyer's work on Meaning Reconstruction, and the Dual Process Model of Grief by Stroebe and Schut if you're curious to learn more about helpful grief theory that's helped him, especially in regards to pet loss. We love Dane, we love you, we love your pets.

What could happen if a renewable energy project fails to meet new NERC compliance requirements? In some cases, penalties can reach up to $1 million per day per violation.In this special episode of Navigating the Grid, we're sharing a conversation originally recorded for the Clean Energy Edge Podcast, where Kellie Macpherson, EVP of Compliance & Security at Radian Generation, joined host Russ Bates to discuss the evolving compliance landscape for renewable energy.Starting May 1, 2026, inverter-based resources (IBRs) rated 20 MW or greater and connected at 60 kV or higher must register under updated North American Electric Reliability Corporation Category 2 requirements. The compliance threshold is dropping from 75 MW to 20 MW, dramatically expanding federal oversight across solar, wind, and battery storage projects.In this episode, Kellie breaks down what the rule change means, which projects will be affected, and why compliance now extends beyond paperwork to include operational readiness, cybersecurity monitoring, and audit preparedness.As renewables take on a larger role in grid reliability, understanding these requirements is becoming essential for operators, developers, and investors alike.

This is PART TWO of our conversation.Forty years in the paranormal will change the way you see the unknown.For Allen Cornelison, what began as a deeply personal experience inside his own family became a lifelong journey into investigations across the Midwest and beyond. But after decades in the field, the stories aren't what compelled him to write his book. The responsibility is.In Navigating the Paranormal,  he lays out what he believes many investigators overlook — the ethical weight of stepping into someone's home, labeling a location “haunted,” and influencing how families interpret fear, grief, and unexplained events.This isn't about thrill-seeking. It's about discernment, credibility, and knowing when a case requires more than cameras and curiosity.We talk about the lessons learned over four decades — the dangers, the boundaries, and what responsible paranormal investigation truly looks like.Get more information at allenlobo.com.#NavigatingTheParanormal #AllenCornelison #TheGraveTalks #ParanormalBooks #GhostInvestigation #ParanormalEthics #SpiritualDiscernment #HauntedInvestigations #SupernaturalAwareness #ParanormalWarnings #FaithAndTheParanormalLove real ghost stories?
