Taboo to Truth: Unapologetic Conversations About Sexuality in Midlife
The antidote to a boring sex life isn't trying harder, it's trying something new together — that's what ARYA delivers, a monthly intimacy membership curated by AASECT certified sexologists and shipped right to your door.Take the quiz at arya.fyi and use code: TRUTH15 for 15% off at https://arya.fyi/start?rfsn=8333683.c9f861In this episode, I sit down with Adreena Winters — writer, educator, and one of the most recognized voices in the world of cuckolding — to finally clear up what this dynamic actually is, and what it isn't. Adreena is the author of So You Want to Be a Cuckold and the creator of Cuckold Confessions, and she brings both lived experience and years of coaching couples through this exact terrain.We get into why most people's first reaction to the word "cuckolding" is shame or confusion, and why that reaction is almost always wrong. Adreena breaks down the real difference between a hot wife dynamic and a cuckoldress dynamic, why humiliation is usually a small piece of the puzzle rather than the main event, and why compersion — genuinely enjoying your partner's pleasure — is so often the real engine driving this for men.We talk about how couples actually start exploring this safely: communication first, boundaries second, and why over-controlling the experience can backfire. Adreena walks through the biggest mistakes couples make (hint: it usually starts with who you let into the dynamic), the red flags that signal someone isn't a good third-party candidate, and the warning signs that a couple isn't actually ready for this yet. We also get into the Red Pill and Manosphere comparison — because consent is the dividing line, and it changes everything.If you've ever been curious, confused, or quietly judging something you don't fully understand, this conversation will give you the real picture instead of the porn version.In This Episode:00:00 Intro & Aria.FYI01:15 Welcome to Taboo to Truth01:45 Meet Adreena Winters02:30 Why Cuckolding Is So Misunderstood04:00 Cuckoldress vs. Hot Wife: What's the Real Difference06:30 Is the Bull Part of the Couple's Dynamic?08:15 Who Usually Initiates: Men or Women?10:00 Cutting Queens & Reversed Dynamics12:00 Where to Start: Communication and Boundaries14:30 No, It's Not Always a Threesome16:00 Biggest Mistakes Couples Make18:30 Red Flags When Vetting a Bull20:30 Signs a Couple Isn't Ready Yet23:00 The Porn Fantasy vs. The Reality26:00 Adreena's Own Relationship & Retiring From Porn28:30 Cuckold Confessions: Filming Real Couples30:00 Finding a Bull: Apps, Sites & Communities31:30 Cuckolding vs. The Manosphere & Red Pill32:30 Is Cuckolding Cheating?33:00 Where to Find Adrena & Closing ThoughtsAbout The Guest:Adreena Winters is a content creator, writer, and educator known for her work exploring cuckolding.

Adreena is the author of So, You Want to Be a Cuckold?, and the creator of Cuckold Confessions, a series exploring the motivations and desires of men who embrace the cuckold identity. Through her writing, videos, and podcast appearances, she aims to demystify taboo fantasies and encourage more honest conversations about sexuality, desire, and power within relationships.Connect with Adreena Winters:Website: https://thecuckacademy.com/Links: https://links.adrena-winters.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachadreenaAbout The Host:Karen Bigman, a Sexual Health Alliance Certified Sex Educator, Life, and Menopause Coach, tackles the often-taboo subject of sexuality with a straightforward and candid approach.

The goal isn't to stay as low as possible, and it isn't to push as high as possible either.

Dr. Tony Ebel takes a deep dive into one of the most common questions from parents in the neurodevelopmental space: does red light laser therapy help activate the vagus nerve and accelerate brain function in kids? Dr. Tony doesn't give a simple yes or no — instead, he breaks down the neurophysiology of how brains are built, why sequencing matters more than the intervention itself, and why lasers that work beautifully for adult brain injuries may actually backfire for children with neurodevelopmental disorders when used too soon. He also shares his clinical philosophy, how his team uses HRV to measure real nervous system progress, and what it looks like to build a complete, properly sequenced healing team for your child.-----Key Topics & Timestamps01:00 The Question: Do Red Light Lasers Activate the Vagus Nerve?02:00 Why PX Docs Don't Use Lasers & How HRV Measures What Actually Works07:00 How the Brain Is Built: Bottom Up, Back Forward11:00 Why Lasers Work for Adults but Not Always for Kids13:00 What Happens When You Heal Out of Order17:00 Subluxation Must Be Addressed Before Any Other Intervention20:00 Two Outcomes Once Neurological Stability Is Reached & Building Your Child's Healing Team-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocsFacebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs NetworkYoutube: The PX DocsFor more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.Find a PX Doc Office near me: PX DOCS DirectoryTo watch Dr. Tony's 30 min Perfect Storm Webinar: Click Here

Who Rings Rome's Church Bells? Not Always a Bell Ringer A few years ago, I recorded a podcast episode about something many of us notice in Italy but rarely stop to think about - the sound of church bells drifting across the city. I found myself wondering: is there really someone up there in the bell tower pulling the ropes, or is it all automated now? Around that time, my husband showed me a newspaper article about a Roman bell ringer whose fascination with bells began when he was still a toddler in a stroller. His mother would take him around Rome to hear different bells ringing at different hours because he loved them so much. That early curiosity stayed with him, and as an adult he became a bell ringer himself. I knew immediately I wanted to speak with him. The episode that followed turned into a wonderful exploration of bell ringing traditions in Italy. I learned about different regional styles, including the distinctive system used in Verona, and even how Italian approaches compare with English bell ringing. It opened up a whole hidden world behind a sound we hear so often without realizing what's involved. I'm re-releasing this episode now because it feels especially appropriate at this moment. As Holy Week approaches, Rome fills with the sound of bells. Whether you're here in the city or simply remembering visits past - or planning a future trip - this episode will change the way you listen. Sometimes there's a person high in the bell tower guiding those sounds. Sometimes there isn't. Either way, there's a story behind every bell you hear. This has always been one of my favorite episodes of the Flavor of Italy podcast, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. And if you're in Rome during this season of ringing bells, listen closely - now you'll know what may be happening high above you.
The Bible can feel confusing—but it was never meant to be shallow reading. Scripture is a library written in different times, cultures, and genres, yet it tells one unified story that leads us to Jesus. Big Idea: Scripture Was Written for Us, Not Always to Us Studying Scripture gives us clarity, protects us from misreading it, and helps us apply it faithfully in everyday life. Next Steps: • Ask of one passage this week: What did it mean then? How does it point to Jesus? What does obedience look like today? • Study one passage with someone else. • Sign up for the How to Read Your Bible workshop to grow in confidence.
Angela and special guest Dr. Darshan Shah, look at the polarising world of cardiovascular health, specifically demystifying the role of LDL cholesterol. They challenge the traditional one-size-fits-all approach to statins, arguing that heart health must be viewed through the lens of individual biology—where factors like inflammation, genetic risk, and lifestyle can make the same LDL level a non-issue for one person and a crisis for another WHAT YOU WILL LEARN LDL is Not Always the Enemy: A high LDL reading alone doesn't guarantee heart disease; its impact depends on individual context The Power of ApoB and Lp(a): Traditional cholesterol panels are often insufficient; more modern biomarkers like ApoB(a superior risk marker) and Lp(a) (a genetic factor) provide a much clearer picture of cardiovascular risk. AI in Diagnostics: The Clearly scan uses AI to analyse CT angiograms, allowing doctors to see the actual buildup of both calcified and soft plaque in the coronary arteries rather than just guessing based on blood work. Precision Over Dogma: Because cardiovascular health is an "N-of-1" situation, interventions like statins or PCSK9 inhibitors should be based on actual arterial health TIMESTAMPS: 01:21 The LDL Controversy: An explanation of why cholesterol remains a polarizing topic and why it must be treated as an individual biology issue. 02:37 The Tale of Two Patients: A comparison of a healthy gym-goer with high LDL/zero plaque versus a high-stress professional with lower LDL/significant plaque. 04:13 Modern Biomarkers: A breakdown of the specific tests to ask for, including ApoB, HS-CRP, and the Clearly cardiovascular scan.

Criminal defense attorney Shelley Levisay was a powerful force to be reckoned with in the courtroom but in her personal life she was being coercively controlled and abused by her boyfriend. In Levisay's memoir “Love is Not Always the Answer” she writes about how this relationship took her to places she never thought she would go & would forceher to face challenges she could have never predicted she would have to conquer: not as a lawyer but as a criminal defendant charged with harboring a fugitive & lastly as a convict fighting to retain her legal license. In this episode, Levisay talks about her own history as a victim of coercive control & details the red flags in Karen Read's behavior towards John O'Keefe that everyone missed. *Shelley Levisay's memoir “Love Isn't Always the Answer”: https://a.co/d/aqoM4fgShelley Levisay's website-https://www.shelleylevisaywrites.com/Get access to exclusive content & support the podcast by becoming a Patron today! https://patreon.com/robertaglasstruecrimereportThrow a tip in the tip jar! https://buymeacoffee.com/robertaglassSupport Roberta by sending a donation via Venmo. https://venmo.com/robertaglassBecome a channnel member for custom Emojis, first looks and exclusive streams here: https://youtube.com/@robertaglass/joinThank you Patrons!Carol Mumumeci, Therese Tunks, JC, Lizzy D, Elizabeth Drake, Texas Mimi, Barb, Deborah Shults, Debra Ratliff, Stephanie Lamberson, Maryellen Sudol, Mona, Karen Pacini, Jen Buell, Marie Horton, ER, Rosie Grace, B.

Subscribe to Forever Strong Insider: https://foreverstrong.supercast.comIn this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Heidi van den Brink; one of the only scientists in the world studying the ovarian transition from fertility to menopause. Together, they unpack what textbooks and wellness influencers often miss: the biology behind how your ovaries, uterus, metabolism, and nutrition interact across every stage of a woman's life. Dr. Heidi reveals the never-before-seen dynamics of the ovarian cycle, how follicles develop in “waves,” and what really happens during the menopause transition. They discuss how undernutrition, obesity, and metabolic health shape reproductive hormones; why early menarche and delayed ovulation matter for long-term health; and the surprising connection between your gut microbiome, bile acids, and fertility. If you've ever been told to “balance your hormones” with seed cycling, apps, or supplements, this episode separates myths from mechanisms. It's a masterclass in understanding the science of your hormones and how to truly support reproductive health through every decade of life.Chapter Markers0:00 - Can You Get Pregnant While on Your Period? 1:21 - Intro to Dr. Heidi & Ovarian Cycle Research 3:39 - The Uterine Cycle vs. The Ovarian Cycle 6:19 - Follicle Waves: The Hidden Drama in Your Ovaries 10:38 - Novel Discovery: Follicle Waves in the Luteal Phase 12:00 - Why One Follicle is Selected for Ovulation 13:17 - Does Nutrition Affect Ovarian Function? 14:48 - The Variation in Menstrual Cycles (It's Not Always 28 Days) 17:23 - The Impact of Obesity on the Ovarian Cycle 18:11 - The Problem of Luteal Phase Defects & Fertility 24:52 - Ovarian Morphology as a Bio-Marker of Health 26:54 - How Undernutrition Affects Ovarian Health 31:56 - The Metabolic Tipping Point of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) 33:26 - The Myth of the "String of Pearls" Ovary 35:25 - The Menopause Transition & Rogue Follicles 39:04 - Can We Predict Menopause by Scanning Ovaries? 45:59 - Early Menarche (First Period) and Long-Term Disease Risk 48:33 - The Surprising Link Between Puberty Timing and Environment 52:28 - The Role of Leptin in Reproductive Health 55:50 - Debunking the Myth: Can Nutrition Cure PCOS? 59:07 - PCOS Diet Myths (Fruit, Timing, and Supplements) 1:04:40 - Fish Oil for Menstrual Cramps (Dysmenorrhea) 1:08:37 - Breakthrough: Bile Acid, The Gut Microbiome, and Ovulation 1:11:50 - Closing RemarksWho is Heidi Vanden Brink:Dr. Vanden Brink is a reproductive physiologist with over a decade of research in nutrition, metabolism, and female reproductive health.

Are We Being Punished By The Storms? Background - As we have tuned into the news over the past week, we have seen incredible tragedy from the storms and flooding across Texas, New Mexico, and up the eastern part of the country. In the meantime, we hear about the growing wildfires sweeping across California and the Northwest. These days, it seems like no one is safe or spared from the storms. I've heard all kinds of reasons and thoughts behind these events. “God is punishing us”, “Climate change is real”, “We get what we deserve”, the list of explanations goes on as we try to use ideas of faith, science, and whatever else we can insert into the picture to help us reason through the storms we face. During today's show, we are not going to attempt to explain why these storms occur. We are not going to point fingers at who is doing things right and who is possibly doing things wrong. What we are going to do is discuss what God wants from us and what we can do to work through the storms of life. 1. Storms are Inevitable, Not Always a Consequence of Sin: If your neighborhood was hit by a tornado you might take that personally and think it was something about your sin that caused the tornado.It's a common misconception that storms or hardships are always a direct result of personal sin. Jesus Himself stated, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). Troubles are a given, even for believers. How about Job? He endured immense suffering despite being described as "blameless and upright" (Job 1:1).2. Storms Can Be a Means of Growth and Refinement: Just as a refiner's fire purifies gold, storms can purify our faith and character. Difficulties often expose areas where we need to grow, deepen our dependence on God, and develop perseverance. James 1:2-4 encourages us with this perspective: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." The storms, therefore, are not meant to break us, but to build us up.3. Storms Can Be a Testimony to God's Power: When we navigate storms with faith and integrity, our lives can become a powerful testimony to God's faithfulness and strength. Others observe how we respond to adversity and can be drawn to the God who sustains us. Advice - How Christians Can Expect and Make It Through Storms While Honoring God1. Stop Focusing on the Storm, Start Focusing on What You Are Doing in the Storm. 2. Anchor Yourself in God's Word: 3. Lifestyle of Prayer and Dependence: 4. Trust in God's Sovereignty and Goodness: 5. Seek Community and Support: 6.

Have you ever thought, I should be better by now? You've been surfing for a while, putting in the time, watching YouTube tutorials, even getting in the water more—but something's just not clicking. You feel stuck, and no matter how much effort you put in, you're not progressing the way you want.I know that frustration because I've been there too. Surfing is unlike any other sport—you don't get endless reps, the conditions are always changing, and without the right feedback, you might just be reinforcing bad habits. I spent years feeling like I had plateaued, wondering why I wasn't improving, until I figured out what actually works.In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women's Surfing Podcast™, we talk about why progression in surfing is so difficult, the common mistakes that keep surfers stuck, and what actually makes a difference. Plus, I'll share how The Surf Société was born out of my own frustration—because I needed a place where I could get real feedback, guidance, and a community to help me progress. If you're tired of feeling stuck, this episode is for you.Main ThemesWhy Surfing Progression is So Damn Hard“Surfing isn't like skating or snowboarding. You don't get unlimited reps. Every session is different, and you can't just practice the same maneuver 50 times in a row.” – Laura DayWhy YouTube & Instagram Advice Might Be Making It Worse“I'd get so hyped watching a tutorial—then I'd go out, and my wave looked nothing like the perfect, empty lineup in the video.” – Laura DayThe Myth That Surfing More = Getting Better“If you're just reinforcing the same bad habits, more water time isn't going to magically fix them.” – Laura DayThe Reality of In-Person Coaching (And Why It's Not Always the Answer)“I paid $250 for a coaching session, and the conditions were terrible.

Things don't always go as planned in life and in business. It's important for property management entrepreneurs to be able to roll with the punches. In this episode of the #DoorGrowShow, property management experts Jason and Sarah Hull discuss a recent experience where they were forced to pivot and adapt over and over again. You'll Learn [01:58] The Original Plan [05:31] How a Winter Storm Distrupted a Business and Family Trip [08:52] Moral of the Story: Be Prepared [11:08] Your Plan is Not Always the Right Plan for You Tweetables “Moral of the story is be prepared.” “This is how businesses work. Your best plan is sometimes going to fail and you're going to have to come up with a new way of doing it and you're going to have to adapt.” “There may be a reason that things are not going the way that you wanted them to go right now.” “ The only time that you won't have your breakthrough is if you quit.” Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive TalkRoute Referral Link Transcript [00:00:00] Sarah: There is a bigger plan out there for you, and there may be a reason that things are not going the way that you wanted them to go right now. [00:00:09] Sarah: There may be a reason that you're not experiencing the results that you thought that you would at this stage in the game. [00:00:17] Jason: Welcome DoorGrow property managers to the #DoorGrowShow. If you are a property management entrepreneur that wants to add doors, make a difference, increase revenue, help others, impact lives, and you are interested in growing in business and life, and you're open to doing things a bit differently, then you are a DoorGrow property manager. [00:00:35] Jason: DoorGrow property managers love the opportunities, daily variety, unique challenges, and freedom that property management brings. Many in real estate think you're crazy for doing it. You think they're crazy for not because you realize that property management is the ultimate, high trust gateway to real estate deals, relationships, and residual income. [00:00:54] Jason: At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses. We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. We're your hosts, property management growth experts, Jason Hull and Sarah Hull. Now let's get into the show. Alright. [00:01:16] Jason: So, today we are recording this episode at, what time is it now? [00:01:22] Sarah: It is almost midnight. [00:01:23] Jason: It is late. On Monday. And this will go live or be streamed later. And so if you're watching this, thanks for watching. And we're not actually like real time live at this moment, but it's because we had to change things up and make different plans. [00:01:42] Sarah: Live in the moment, we're probably still in the car. [00:01:45] Jason: Yeah, so we will be driving tomorrow during our podcast episode. So we wanted to record this episode real quick so we can get one out. And in today's topic, we're just going to share a little bit of our adventure. And, you know, the moral of the story will be things don't always go according to plan. [00:02:03] Jason: So. [00:02:04] Sarah: Sure don't. [00:02:05] Jason: Alright, so, where do we start? [00:02:08] Sarah: Alright, well, let's do quick synopsis. Where are we right now? Ohio, I think? I'm pretty sure we're in Ohio. [00:02:15] Jason: I think so. [00:02:16] Sarah: I think it's Ohio is the right answer. So, we've been to, in the last few days, we left on Friday, we've been to Texas, we've been to two days in Tennessee, we accidentally went to Kentucky, now we're in Ohio, tomorrow we're going to Pennsylvania. [00:02:30] Sarah: So, I think that's five states. Five states in five days. It's a great time. So, we're driving from Texas to Pennsylvania. It's supposed to be a straight shot, up like this. And it's this crazy record breaking winter storm, and we're driving through some of that. We're missing the big part of it. [00:02:51] Sarah: So we had to adjust our route. So our plan, this was our plan, was to leave on Friday. We're going from Texas to Memphis, Tennessee. Then the next morning, we were going to go to Graceland. We did do that, and then we spent some time in Nashville that evening. And then from Nashville, we were going to go to Morganstown, West Virginia, and then from there, drive into Dallas, Pennsylvania. [00:03:18] Sarah: So, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we were supposed to get to Pennsylvania on Monday, which is tonight, we are not in Pennsylvania. We are, I'm pretty sure, somewhere in Ohio, past Akron. And where, what's the name of this? [00:03:32] Jason: Youngstown. [00:03:33] Sarah: Youngstown, near Youngstown. That's where we are, right now. And so that was our plan. And then because of this crazy storm, we were leaving Nashville. We left Nashville. Roads were fine. Then all of a sudden, a little bit of rain. That was okay. Then, snow. And that was awful. And we were trying to get from Nashville, Tennessee up to Morgantown, West Virginia. Did not happen. Not even close. So we were going to stop in Lexington, Kentucky for lunch around like 3 o'clock or 3:30. That was not the plan. We ended up staying in Kentucky because it took us so long to get to Kentucky because of the crazy storm that we then had to stay overnight in Lexington and then reroute. So we were going this way and now we're going that way. [00:04:31] Jason: So do you want to share why we're doing a road trip? [00:04:34] Jason: Which is crazy to do. [00:04:36] Sarah: It's crazy to do. I know, right? I could have flown there in a day. So we're driving my car that I've owned for a couple years now. I'm driving to Pennsylvania, and I'm giving the car to my mom as a gift. She has absolutely no idea. [00:04:52] Jason: It's a surprise. [00:04:53] Sarah: That this is happening. [00:04:54] Sarah: I don't think she watches the podcast. [00:04:56] Jason: No. Probably not. [00:04:56] Sarah: Hopefully it's safe. But I'm gifting the car to my mom. I want her to have a nice car, and a reliable car, and not have to worry about things. So, I'm gifting her the car. She has absolutely no idea. Coincidentally, it's also in a couple of days, my brother Jason's birthday. [00:05:14] Sarah: So, shout out to Jason. Happy early birthday. We love you. And we're going to do this little trip. We're going to see my family for a little bit. We're going to go out to dinner for my brother Jason's birthday. Give my mom a car, and then fly back home and we are running an event. So that's why we're doing all of this in the first place. [00:05:31] Sarah: The whole crazy part of the story here is when we left Nashville, we were trying to get to Morganstown. It was insane on the road. Just wildly insane. Like snow, ice, there was a mix, there was sleet. We were going like 40 miles an hour. I was just happy to be moving. We saw multiple cars that had run off the road. [00:05:58] Sarah: We saw a couple of tractor trailers that we're in accidents. We saw a few accidents. We were almost in a few accidents ourselves. And this trip is not at all going as planned. We had to move our flight, and then move our flight again, and then move our flight a third time. So then we, last night we almost gave up on this whole thing. [00:06:18] Sarah: I was going to quit and just leave my car in Cincinnati, fly home. back to Texas and then come back and finish the second leg of this trip a second time. Jason woke up this morning and he said, "I think we can do it, babe. I think we can do it." So here we are, but this is not... [00:06:35] Jason: We were not prepared for this storm. [00:06:37] Jason: This car had pretty bald tires, which was... we were not ready. [00:06:43] Sarah: No. [00:06:43] Jason: Yeah. So after sliding off the road a little bit, twice, yeah, on a freeway. [00:06:50] Sarah: On a freeway. [00:06:51] Jason: On a highway. Yeah. [00:06:52] Sarah: And car is supposed to be heading in this direction, and then it turned in. [00:06:57] Jason: And we were just off to the side, so we were able to get back on the road safely both times. [00:07:02] Jason: Thank goodness. Yeah. And not get hit by a tractor trailer. [00:07:05] Sarah: Yeah, we didn't get hit by anything. The car didn't get damaged. We are safe. And to that I can only thank God. The whole time I was praying, our fathers, I was saying Hail Mary's, our fathers, the whole time. I was just praying to God and God took care of us made sure that we were safe made sure the car is safe, made sure that we got where we were going, made sure we didn't get stranded in the car because we saw a couple people stranded. [00:07:30] Jason: Yeah. [00:07:31] Sarah: It was scary. [00:07:31] Sarah: It was really scary. [00:07:32] Jason: We eventually pulled off and went and found a tire store [00:07:36] Sarah: Yeah, we were going to continue out there for a while. [00:07:38] Jason: Got new tires. [00:07:39] Sarah: And something told me it might have been God telling me like "go, you need tires. Go get tires." So I said to Jason, I said, "Can you find...?" [00:07:47] Sarah: Can you find? No. [00:07:49] Jason: I wanted to get some better tires on that car, for sure. [00:07:51] Sarah: So, I said, "is there a tire place that's like, nearby, that's open right now, that we can go to right now?" So we did. Took a little pit stop detour, but it was very well worth it. I just don't think we would have made the rest of the trip in one piece. [00:08:06] Jason: The first tire store we went to was closed. [00:08:08] Sarah: Yeah. Like it wasn't even plowed to get to it. They were closed. The third one was a tread. So we got new tires. That's good. The guy at the tire store, what did he tell you? The tread level was like a four. It's real, it's really bad. [00:08:21] Jason: Yeah. [00:08:21] Sarah: It was real bad. Yeah. So, that was fun. [00:08:23] Jason: So We got fresh tires. Then the car drove really well. [00:08:27] Jason: Plus we had pretty much made it through the worst of the weather, which we had planned. Because there were two ways we could go. The northern route had less weather, so. [00:08:39] Sarah: Yep. That's why we're in Ohio. [00:08:41] Jason: So. [00:08:41] Sarah: And not through West Virginia. [00:08:43] Jason: Yeah, we'd probably be in a very terrible spot if we had gone the wrong way. [00:08:47] Jason: So. [00:08:47] Sarah: Yeah. We'd be off on the side of the road frozen like popsicles. Oh gosh. You guys would never hear from us again. [00:08:52] Jason: So moral of the story is be prepared. Make sure you're prepared. Have a plan. And so we've done lots of plans and changing of plans and so this is part of life. And this is how businesses work. Your best plan is sometimes going to fail and you're going to have to come up with a new way of doing it and you're going to have to adapt. And so one thing entrepreneurs, we are good at is adaptability. We figure it out cause we have to, and we adapt. And so we've adapted a lot today. [00:09:23] Jason: And yesterday. The last couple days. Yeah, the last couple days. [00:09:25] Sarah: We had a plan, we changed a plan, we changed that plan, we changed a plan again. We just keep changing it. [00:09:30] Jason: And that causes us. We're just rolling with the punches. That causes us to have to adapt in business. So here we are recording a podcast. [00:09:36] Jason: Here we are. [00:09:36] Sarah: At midnight. [00:09:37] Jason: In a hotel room. [00:09:37] Sarah: Which Jason did not want to do. [00:09:39] Jason: No. No. I was like, we don't have to do anything that we don't want to do. We don't have to do this. [00:09:44] Sarah: No. And I said, we are not recording a podcast live from the car because we might die. No. [00:09:49] Jason: We're not going to do that. [00:09:49] Sarah: We might die live on camera. [00:09:51] Sarah: Yeah, that would be... [00:09:52] Jason: All right. So hopefully some of you got some value from this. If you do not have a good plan for your business, then that's something that we can help you with here at DoorGrow, help you come up with a plan, and help you adapt to some of the things that are getting thrown at your way. [00:10:09] Jason: This is why we mapped out the DoorGrow code, our roadmap, for some of the most common challenges and problems. So if you would like a copy of the DoorGrow code, just reach out to us. We'd be happy to give you one and tell you a little bit about how we might be able to help you and hear about your challenges. [00:10:24] Jason: So reach out to us. You can check us out at doorgrow.Com or go to our website or join our free Facebook group by going to doorgrowclub.Com. Make sure to answer the questions. We reject 60 to 70 percent of the applicants that try to join that group. So it's only for property management business owners. [00:10:44] Jason: So if you own a property management business or seriously planning on starting one, then you can request access to that group. Make sure to answer the questions. We would love to have you inside. And that's it. [00:10:55] Sarah: No, that's not it. No. [00:10:56] Jason: Oh, there's more. [00:10:57] Sarah: That wasn't it. I said, what are we going to talk about this episode? [00:11:00] Sarah: I told you what we're going to talk about, then we just... So. [00:11:03] Sarah: It's not the end of the episode. Surprise! A little bit more. But wait, there's more! [00:11:07] Jason: But wait, there's more. [00:11:08] Sarah: So for those of you that do have a plan, and you're like, "yeah, no, I definitely have a plan. This is not applicable to me," we had a plan going into this as well. [00:11:17] Sarah: So, when you have a plan and life does not work out the way that you planned, and things don't work out the way that you thought that they would, and you're going through things and you're trying to figure out, you know, "what am I doing wrong? And why isn't this working? And like, why is this so hard? I don't understand why it's not happening the way that I wanted it to happen," and why it's just maybe not happening at all... [00:11:40] Sarah: or maybe it's happening, but it's just so slow, and it's so hard, then you just need to know that sometimes there's a bigger plan in place for you somewhere. And if you're religious, you might believe that God, or the universe, or fate, or whatever you might want to call it. There is a bigger plan out there for you, and there may be a reason that things are not going the way that you wanted them to go right now. [00:12:07] Sarah: There may be a reason that you're not experiencing the results that you thought that you would at this stage in the game. Just like when we thought we would go to West Virginia. Had we actually gotten to West Virginia, we'd be stranded there for sure, because they are getting hammered with snow right now. [00:12:22] Sarah: So the whole, like, West Virginia, D. C. area Hammered with snow, and that was our plan. So I'm grateful, although it's a little crazy, I'm grateful that we didn't end up going that way. I'm grateful that there was a bigger plan in place for us. So just trust that you do have support when you reach out to people like your mentors, and if you're in the DoorGrow Mastermind, there are so many resources for you, including property managers who are in the exact same spot that you are in. [00:12:56] Sarah: They've been there. They've done that. They've experienced everything. So leverage the resources that you have available to you. Know that there's support and know that everything is unfolding exactly the way it's supposed to for you in this exact moment. And you will have your breakthrough. The only time that you won't have your breakthrough is if you quit. [00:13:14] Sarah: See, and now we're done. [00:13:15] Jason: Good words. Good stuff, Sarah. All right. [00:13:18] Sarah: All right. We're going to go to bed now. [00:13:20] Jason: Yeah. Get some sleep. [00:13:22] Sarah: Yep. [00:13:22] Jason: So until next time, to our mutual growth. Hope you all crush it. Bye, everyone.

Segment 1: • Common Sense or Controversy? J.D. Vance argues that loving everyone equally is unrealistic—biblical love has an order. • Postmodernism's Rejection of Hierarchy: Today's culture rejects prioritizing certain relationships, but the Bible affirms it. • National Leadership Matters: An American president who prioritizes Americans first is a radical (yet biblical) shift. Segment 2: • Greek Over Latin: The Ordo Amoris (Order of Love) isn't just philosophy—it's biblical wisdom. • Who Is My Neighbor? The Good Samaritan didn't go searching for people in need—he helped the one in his path. • Mercy Has Borders: Love is not limited, but practical care starts with those closest to us—family, community, nation. Segment 3: • Restoration to God? Absolutely. A fallen pastor can be restored in his faith and walk with the Lord. • Restoration to Ministry? Not Always. Some sins permanently disqualify a man from pastoral leadership. • Church Leadership Matters: Should a pastor who fell be allowed to teach or serve in any capacity? Biblical wisdom needed. Segment 4: • Wisdom vs. Punishment: We don't punish fallen leaders for their sins, but we must apply biblical standards. • Sin Makes Us Stupid: Are you ignoring small compromises that could lead to disaster? • Spiritual Red Flags: Lack of transparency, secret friendships with the opposite sex, and weak prayer life—time for a heart check. ___ Thanks for listening!

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're discussing 5 famous Slytherin witches and wizards who went on to make history. Within the wizarding world, anyone referred to as simply a “Slytherin” is a current or former student of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who was sorted into Slytherin House upon their arrival at the school. The House of Slytherin is representative of one of the four founding members of Hogwarts, Salazar Slytherin, a powerful wizard who believed in magical blood purity and argued that only pureblood families should be offered enrollment at the school. As such, many people associate Slytherins with cruel, dark or simply prejudiced witches or wizards. Unfortunately, this view of Slytherins is further supported by the sheer number of graduates who went on to become entangled with Dark Magic. BUT, it's important to note that that's NOT ALWAYS the case. There are lots of *quote* good witches and wizards who have been former Slytherin students, some of which we'll touch on in today's video. So, with that in mind, let's take a look at five famous Slytherins who made history. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
From March 2022 to July of this year, the Fed raised rates by 500 basis points. But the economy has done well this year, with GDP growth of 2.0%, 2.1% and 5.2% in the first three quarters. Does that mean the lagged impacts of the Fed's aggressive monetary tightening cycle will be fully felt in the year ahead? Is a second wave of inflation remains a major risk? The answers to those questions have implications for equities as the economic environment is likely to be volatile.-Here are links for more information about Jeff and ClearBridge:The Fed is Done, What's Next?

“We can't just take supplements and expect our problems to go away. True health is always built on a strong foundation of lifestyle changes that allow the body to function more harmoniously.” —Ann LeMasterIn the hustle and bustle of modern life, it's easy to lose sight of our overall well-being. But taking a holistic approach to our health is like giving ourselves the tools to build a better life. Considering all aspects of our physical, mental, and emotional well-being opens the door to optimal health and a truly fulfilling life.This week, Ann explores four important health topics related to optimizing well-being. First, she discusses how changing one's thoughts through neuroplasticity can impact genetics, biochemistry, and long-term health outcomes. Next, Ann covers a new AMA policy recognizing BMI's shortcomings and better ways to evaluate health including waist size and body composition testing. Additionally, she outlines key risk factors for fatty liver disease and all-natural remedies that can help reverse it. Finally, Ann provides an overview of the synthetic biology or "GMO 2.0" industry, their deceptive marketing tactics, and concerns about how it threatens sustainable organic agriculture.

Sarah and T - The professional Vacation Rental Manager's Podcast
In this episode Sarah and T take on the topic of e-mail blasts. Are you doing them? Are you doing them effectively? How do you know? 14 specific points are covered in how you can crush your next effort and know exactly how well you did.1) Build up your email list & segment - all previous guests list, potential guests, by season, by type of property, etc. - Every single email you get should be added to a list and segmented. I recently stayed in a VR with a company. After we booked, they kept sending us promotional emails. Made me wonder if we had a booking! Make sure your upcoming guests aren't sent an email that you are now offering 40% off! - Booking Anniversary to previous guests on their booking date from last year- Type of properties, size of properties, season they visited only?2) Consistent (so you're there when it's time to book) - top of mind. Only way to pull this off is to make your emails interesting/professonal3) Frequency of sending - at least once a month, ideally once a week (TIM & SARAH DISAGREE)4) Not Always a Sales Email - way too many VR emails are like this "20% off for next week!" - think about your own perspective when you get an eblast.5) Types of eblasts - introduce a new property (attracts Lookie Loo's), newsletter format - new restaurants/activities in the area, Resort developments (new gondola), groups of properites/themes, Snow alerts, local partners (make sure you show them they were included), booking anniversary, ...others, TIM? 6) Professional looking, template so recognizable (idea - personalize by showing a person from your team at bottom), highlight properties at bottom, social links, videos, other examplesPaul Hanak from ICND says open rates don't matter! Listen to his reasoning mid-podcast. 7) Call to Action - we always had "book direct & save" at bottom of every single email. 8) Lots of links! Link logo and photos too9) Always include all owners on your emails10) Tracking code to conversion! Follow by email monthly - this is the WHOLE POINT. Don't send an email without tracking conversion. 11) A/B testing - most platforms easily allow you to test everything from subject lines to send times - utilize it!12) Stop gathering emails from "contests" just to have a bigger list. We've tested it! They signed up to win a contest, not to engage with your brand. Open rates are poor, so you wind up paying for all these extra emails without any payoff. Quality over quantity. 13) Subject Lines are the name of this game. Without a good subject line that captures attention and creates curiosity, that email won't even be opened. Need some inspiration? Just google "Good email subject lines" and ask ole chatGPT.14) Check and recheck for spelling/grammar errors - everything speaks! (sarah example of "piece")
In this episode of Moments in Leadership, host David B. Armstrong spends time with retired Marine Colonel Stephen Davis, a veteran of the post-Vietnam War Marine Corps, the Reconnaissance Community, Joint Special Operations, and multiple combat tours up to the Regimental Command level, where they spend time discussing various topics related to hard-won lessons from the front lines combined with a realist take on what command, leadership, and management means. From Colonel Davis' initial training operations and three courts martial in his first week of command, the conversation discusses the concept of having, understanding, and being humble enough to ask for assistance from those who have been there before, namely the Staff Non-Commissioned Officers who have the inherent experience in an organization. This oft-ridden military maxim is buttressed by examples of not being wholly subservient to these people either and Colonel Davis provides examples where ‘stellar' Marines have cracked under pressure and changes have to be made to protect the troops. Colonel Davis never expected to stay in the Marine Corps and some of the reasons he decided to make it a career early into it provide some examples of how leadership is often the primary determinant of wanting to belong, or conversely, to leave, an organization. Leaders make the culture. Colonel Davis subscribed to this notion enough that he made himself overly useful as an infantry officer in a Reconnaissance unit as its Supply Officer. This led to large dividends down the road in his command life and shows true leaders take opportunities, even if they appear bad, and make the best out of them. The Reconnaissance Community instilled numerous values within Colonel Davis. Specifically, he learned how to lead overachievers, how sometimes metrics are not the best indicators of a ‘good' unit or Marine, and the differences between Management and Leadership. One of the more interesting lessons Colonel Davis provides is on the concept of the combat leader. Colonel Davis leans into the idea that leaders need to be where they need to be, but not always at the front. He is also a believer that the line between a bad decision and the Medal of Honor is razor-thin and medal chasers have no business in the combat arms field. Colonel Davis provides discussion points on the focus of a leader (the Commanding Officer) vice a manager (the Executive Officer/Chief of Staff) and how they are both important to the overall success of an organization. The episode goes into Colonel Davis' time as the Regimental Combat Team 2 Commanding Officer and the successes (Manuever Warfare use of illusionary force structure in a Counterinsurgency environment to take ‘denied' strongholds in two days) and the failures (Moral issue sins of commission and omission with the Haditha killings) and how these incidents led to him once again blossoming to help with similar issues within the Naval Special Warfare Community, specifically moral injury, boundless loyalty, and who does a person owe their allegiance to. Overall, the episode is an insightful discussion about leadership, moral convictions, and the ability to take the best out of situations.

Dogs do not bark just because. Anyone who wants to know how to stop dog barking should understand behind any excessive barking is a real, serious trigger… at least in our dog's eyes. Indeed, barking is a big behavioral issue! But it is often misunderstood. Most dog owners and even dog trainers treat barking at face value, as if there's nothing more to it. This is where most solutions get it wrong — they focus on stopping dog barking without addressing the root cause of the problem. Dog owners get frustrated because even if they do get some success, after a few days of silence, the barking resumes! This is what I aim to change with Rule #4 of the Doggy Dan Five Golden Rules. As a top dog trainer who has seen the most notorious of barkers switch off after just a few tries, I have proven that the best way to solve a barking issue is to be the leader WHO DEALS WITH DANGER. A leader who can tell a dog “You can hand over the protecting to me. I deal with danger. I've got you covered. You can relax.” What does this mean and how can you be this kind of leader? Read on to learn more about Doggy Dan's Golden Rule #4. Key Takeaways: Dogs are naturally protective because for them, all that matters is their survival and the pack's. Rule #4 focuses on helping dog owners communicate to their dogs “I am in charge, I will decide how to react, I deal with danger, you can relax.” Saying “Thank You!” is one of the ways to make dogs understand that YOU are in charge with danger, not them. LEARN HOW TO STOP DOG BARKING WITH THE DOGGY DAN GOLDEN RULE #4! Table of Contents Recap: Rules #1, #2, #3 of the Doggy Dan Five Golden Rules Rule #4 is Dealing with Danger: Dear Dog, I am in Charge of Danger, Not You How Rule #4 of the Doggy Dan Five Golden Rules Help You React Like a Leader In Charge of Danger What Your Dogs Will Learn From the Rule #4 The Five Most Common Mistakes Dog Owners Do to Stop Dog Barking How to Stop Dog Barking: Calmer Dogs Have Owners Who Understand Rule #4 By Heart Dog Calming Code: Helping Dogs Stop Barking and Live the “Switched Off” Life How to Stop Dog Barking: Rules #1, #2, #3 of the Doggy Dan Five Golden Rules Recap Important Note: Before you implement Doggy Dan Golden Rule #4 — Dealing with Danger — with your dog training, it's imperative that you are already following Rules #1, #2, and #3. Unless these rules are in place, you and your dog won't be able to make Rule #4 work as effectively. To recap, the first three rules focus on winning your dog's mind by showing them you're the pack leader, not them: Rule #1 talks about controlling the food and understanding why being in control of the food communicates that you are in charge. (You can check Rule #1 here.). Rule #2 is about the importance of ignoring your dog after separation and why it's crucial in establishing leadership in the home. (Learn about Rule #2 here.) Rule#3 is about helping your dogs pass on the leadership hat to you through showing them that you and not them call the shots. (Learn about Rule #3 here.) These rules are important prerequisites to make sure Rule #4 really does its magic on your dogs. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DOGGY DAN FIVE GOLDEN RULES WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE Rule #4 is Dealing with Danger: Dear Dog, I am in Charge of Danger, Not You Dogs are naturally very protective of us. Why? As established in the first three blogs for this series, nothing matters more to our dogs than their survival, and the pack's. (Watch the full video below for Rule #4) This protectiveness comes from their wolf ancestry as wolves are stalwart in protecting the pack from potential threats. Therefore, anything they think poses any danger to the pack are dealt with VERY SERIOUSLY Strangers walking past the property? Dog will bark. Motorcycle zooms by? Dog barks. Birds swooping through the garden? Dog goes nuts. I often say this: unless trained, dogs are instinctive—they DO what's natural for them. And what's natural is to ensure the pack and the property are safe. WE CAN'T BLAME A DOG FOR BARKING AT RANDOM THREATS ALL THE TIME: THEY NEED TO ALERT US TO DANGER TO KEEP US SAFE. What Dogs Communicate with Every Bark In every “woof, woof” your dog makes to a stranger across the street, or a distant sound is this message: “Hey, this is my property and I am in charge. I will deal with you! You look dangerous, you have to stay away! I'm going to bark so you will be scared to come near.” If you want to know how to stop dog barking, this is crucial info! Simply saying “STOP!” won't do it for our dogs, no matter how much we try. They're protectors — they won't get it why you're asking them to stop when danger is really there! They're worried the strange shadow that passed the window will harm you or the property, so unless their fear of the danger is pacified, barking will persist. How Doggy Dan Rule #4 Helps Dogs Switch Off and Stop Barking Rule #4 enables dog owners to communicate this clearly to dogs: “You are not the one in charge of danger, I am. You can relax. I'm going to handle every decision around danger. I deal with the threat. Thank you, you can calm down now.” Of course, we can't just say this out loud expecting our dog to immediately walk away from the threat. Your dog has to feel, see, and hear that you are indeed a confident, capable leader they can trust to handle danger. And when they feel your confidence—your calm, unbothered energy, with body language that's relaxed—they will catch on. But what do you need to do to become a capable Alpha in your dog's eyes? DOG CALMING CODE: THE PROGRAM TO GUIDE YOU HOW TO STOP DOG BARKING How Rule #4 of the Doggy Dan Five Golden Rules Help You React Like a Leader In Charge of Danger In situations where your dog barks non-stop, you can seize the chance to tell your dog: "I've got it handled, buddy. No need to worry or agitated. I got you covered." You can convey this POWERFUL message through your words, voice, body language, and overall demeanor. Communicating this message is purely done through dog psychology so your dog can absolutely get what you mean. If your dog is in a middle of a barking episode, here are three things that can encourage your dog to switch off and be calm. STOP DOG BARKING WITH THE HELP OF THE DOG CALMING CODE Showing Your Dog You Hear Them with a “Thank You!” Your dog has to know that you hear “Danger! Danger! Danger! I'm protecting you so I'm barking” instead of just… well… barking. You can't be the protector in their eyes if you can't even understand the urgency of their barking! Now, there's a thin line between letting your dogs know you get them, and indulging them. I'm sure it's tempting to go to your dog and give them a comforting pat or hug and say “Where's the danger? You scared right? Good boy, I'm here.” But that only tells them they are still the ones making the decisions around danger. All I would do is say “Thank you!” in a calm, gentle, relaxed voice just to let your dog know you hear them but you're not worried. Acknowledging The Danger and Saying Thank You From experience, I know that some dogs aren't satisfied with just hearing “Thank you!” They persist with the barking as if saying “You don't get it! There's danger outside! How can you be unbothered when you haven't even checked yet!” It's very powerful when they see you get up, walk calmly over and check what they're seeing, remaining unfazed, then turning your back on the “danger”, and walk off with a “Thank you!” Your. Dog. Will. Get. It. You've seen the “danger” and you've totally ignored it! You made the decision that you're not worried about the threat your dog sees. It's an effective way to let your dogs know “I've seen the danger and I have a decision about it. The bird you are barking at does not bother me so it should not bother you. Go on and relax.” Making It Absolutely Clear That Barking is NOT Okay In some cases, using the two solutions I mentioned above won't immediately work for the first or second time. Your dog may still continue to bark. If barking persists, you can calmly take them to timeout for a few minutes until they relax. STOP DOG BARKING AND HELP DOGS SWITCH OFF WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE What Your Dogs Will Learn From the Rule #4 This powerful rule has three pillars that dog owners ABSOLUTELY have to know: #1: I am the Pack Leader. I Deal with Danger Rule #4 lets your dog know “I am the leader here, so I will protect you. If there's danger, I'll handle it. You don't have to worry.” Dogs naturally look up to a strong and confident pack leader, someone they can trust to make decisions in potentially dangerous situations. Being a leader who makes the decisions and remains unbothered by threats makes your dogs feel “Ahhh, someone capable is taking the protector hat from me. Finally, I can relax!” Dogs will start to switch off their vigilance (and non-stop barking!) and have faith in you as a leader. #2: I Decide What's Dangerous or Not It's true — your dog barking aggressively at a bird's shadow looks ridiculous! But your dog doesn't know a bird is NOT a big threat. However, you do! And the simple gesture of saying “Thank you!” and calmly acknowledging the source of the barking without a worried energy can help your dog understand there's nothing to stress about. Rule #4 helps you communicate “Relax, it's not a threat” through your energy, tone of voice, overall demeanor, and body language! #3: I Take Lead on How to React To explain this fully, let me tell you a story about an Alpha, their pack of wolves, and an ice cream motorcycle. For wolves, the ice cream motorcycle is totally alien! It's not a creature of the woods. It's strange, so therefore, dangerous. When it comes to tricky situations like this one, the Alpha is steps in to do the checking while the other pack members wait. BECOME THE ALPHA OF THE PACK WITH THE HELP OF THE DOG CALMING CODE Then, after a few minutes of checking, the Alpha walks away, totally ignoring the bike. Do you think the other wolves will cry out “Uhm, excuse me? It's still dangerous!” NO! The Alpha knows. And because they walked away calmly, ignoring the thing that all of the pack thought dangerous, the other wolves understand there's nothing to worry about. Oh but how different would it be if the Alpha started barking at the bike! Other wolves surely join in in no time! In situations your dog perceives as dangerous, THEY WILL BE LOOKING TO YOU. The way you react to things your dog considers as threats has the power to stop your dog from having a full-on barking spree! THE DOG CALMING CODE: THE GUIDE TO HELP YOU HAVE CALMER, HAPPIER DOGS The Five Most Common Mistakes Dog Owners Do to Stop Dog Barking Yes, even the most well-meaning gesture can encourage frequent barking responses from your dog. Let me explain… In an ideal world, we dog owners should be reacting to our dog's barking episodes with a calm energy and an unbothered body language. However, this is NOT ALWAYS the case. In fact, I have worked with dog owners who correct dog barking through this scenario: Let's say a dog named Rover starts barking at someone walking past the front gate. In the eyes of Rover, the stranger poses a threat of real danger! But here's the scenario that PLAYS OUT MOST IN REAL LIFE. Rover: *Barking to say “Hey everybody, there's a stranger close to the property. Is this danger real? What should I do?”* Dog Owner: “Cut it out, Rover!” (in a shouty voice) Rover: *Continues barking to say “But seriously, I'm barking because they look dangerous, and you're shouting back so I'm barking louder—can't you hear me?!”* Dog Owner: “I said cut it out now!!” (more irritated) Rover: *Barking louder than ever “There's danger present and I'M BARKING THE LOUDEST BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT SEEING THIS FOR YOURSELF PLUS YOU SOUND AGITATED SO I'LL BARK EVEN MORE!” Finally, the stranger is no longer in sight. Rover stops barking, and goes over to his owner who says “Good boy, Rover. Good boy.” From the interaction above, we learn of FOUR BIGGEST MISTAKES that you can do when teaching your dog to stop barking. Mistake #1: Dog Owner Shouts Without Doing Anything to Acknowledge the Dog's Call for Attention. They made no effort to confirm if there was danger or not, sending the signal to the dog that danger is their job to deal with. That puts stress on the dog to take charge and become overly protective. Mistake #2: Not Keeping Their Energy in Check Dogs are big energy readers and absorbers. You can influence them with your energy. Even if you're saying “Thank you!” but you're doing it with an irritated tone, your dog will think the danger is bothering you. Mistake #3: Giving a Treat After a Dog's Barking Episode If you give your dog a pat, a cuddle, a hug, or a treat after they barked non-stop, your dog will start thinking they did the right thing! Your dog will think “If I sense danger, my owner wants me to bark my loudest because I have to do all the protecting.” The more you give rewards to a dog that barks non-stop, the more they will think that there's no problem with barking all the time! Now, I'm going to include two more mistakes not found in the scenario above, which often stall the success of Rule #4. Mistake #4: Giving Pats and Cuddles WHILE Dealing with Danger I empathize with you — it's heartbreaking to see a stressed dog. It's so easy to give in to hugging them or patting them while on a barking episode. You might go “Oh, Rover. Is that bird making you scared? Go away, bird! How about now? Are you still scared?” Let me tell you this: it's going to do more harm. You have to be absolutely clear that it's you who will have the final say whether or not something is worth the worry.

Mistake #5: Cheating Through the Process Some dog owners give up after the first “Thank you!” thinking it will still work on their dogs. Truth is: it won't. You have to operate in a language dogs can process and understand. And the process of saying the first “Thank you,” checking out the source of the barking, showing calm and unbothered demeanor, and giving timeouts when necessary should be done in order for it to work. How to Stop Dog Barking: Calmer Dogs Have Owners Who Understand Rule #4 By Heart Dogs — especially those who have taken on the responsibility of protecting you and your property — can't relax. They're constantly running around, barking non-stop at everything and everyone, and often exhibit serious separation anxiety. You can easily tell a relaxed dog from a wired one, and the difference is always so sad. I remember the first time a dog licked my hands after using Rule #4 on him. In that moment, I thought it was just a sweet coincidence. However, so many dogs I've helped since then would do the same. Dogs who FINALLY SWITCHED OFF would lick my hands as if saying “Thank you!” It's as if it's their way of telling me: “Wow, mate. You finally got the security covered. I'm gonna switch off now.” This is why I always ask dog owners to learn Rule #4 of the Doggy Dan Five Golden Rules as it is the solution that solves both the root cause of the problem and the non-stop barking. I've seen it transform my dogs and the dogs of the people I have worked with. Dog owners who follow it have less stress on the park and during walks because unfamiliar stranger and dogs in the park no longer triggers their dogs! I know you love your dog, and I know that aside from the barking, you also want them to be the happy, calm, relaxed, healthy dog you've always wanted them to be. I have four words: follow Rule #4. LEARN MORE ABOUT GOLDEN RULE NUMBER FOUR WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE Dog Calming Code: How to Stop Barking and Help Dogs Live the “Switched Off” Life I hope by now you see that Golden Rule #4 of dog training is a gift our stressed, anxious, high-wired dogs WILL ABSOLUTELY THANK US FOR. However, as a dog trainer who has helped thousands of dog owners navigate their dog's barking problem with Rule #4, I know that it's also EASY TO GET THIS WRONG. But in your quest for a bark-free household and happier dog, I've made sure YOU WILL NEVER FEEL ALONE OR CONFUSED BY HOW TO IMPLEMENT THIS RULE. In my online dog training program, the Dog Calming Code™️, you'll discover the thorough, step-by-step instructions on Rule #4, and all the other Golden Rules. With the Dog Calming Code, you'll learn answers to common questions around Rule #4 including: What do we do if we don't know what our dog is barking at? Will we have to do this forever? Is it ok to call the dog to us to stop it barking? What should we do if after the second thank you our dog runs away and plays a game of chase! Should we praise our dog when he comes to us after he has barked? Is it ok if we change the word to something else? Is it ok to recall our dog when he is barking? After the second Thank You our dog likes to do one more gruff but then follows us inside, my question is do we have to isolate him for this? We still want a guard dog, how will this work? Let me assure you: this is not one of those temporary, quick-fix, no-more-barking-solutions. Rule #4 talks to your dog's very core, assuring them “Hey, you're not in charge. And the one in charge has you covered 100%. No need to bark, or bite, or chase anymore. Take a break, buddy. You deserve it.” And really, isn't that what YOUR dog absolutely deserve?

Quikcy #37 is an excerpt from Season 3 Episode 9: #39 Debunking Myths About Men and Sex (with Sarah Hunter Murray, Ph.D.) On today's episode of the #mensexpleasure podcast, I have a great discussion with Sarah Hunter Murray about the most common myths surrounding masculinity, sexuality and men. Sarah holds a Ph.D. in Human Sexuality from the University of Guelph and is a Registered Marriage & Family Therapist in private practice in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She is the author of the book "Not Always in the Mood: The new science of men, sex, & relationships." I loved Sarah's book and the research she presents in it. We talk about that research as well as her observations about men in relationships. We also explore some practical advice for men and their partners to help overcome the myths and stereotypes that may be hindering them in their relationships. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cam-fraser/message
Hot off our 50th episode, the Camerosity Podcast goes back to the roots of our name, exploring the rich history of Eastman Kodak, one of the most influential companies in the photographic world. You can't talk about the history of Kodak without George Eastman and what better way to explore that history than with Todd Gustavson, curator of the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, NY. Todd has been on the show before, but in this the 51th episode, he gets center stage, talking of his role at the Eastman Museum, the origins of George Eastman and how his company got started. In this episode, you'll learn about George Eastman making dry plates in his mother's kitchen, his motivation for making the original 1888 Kodak, where the name "Kodak" comes from, early 20th century Kodaks, prewar, postwar, and everything in between. Also joining us on the show is the only person in the US I would trust with Kodak Retina repair, Paul Barden. Back in 2022, long time Retina guru Chris Sherlock hung up his lens spanners and retired from Retina repair. Not willing to leave a void in quality Retina service, Chris passed on his knowledge to Paul, who lives on the west coast of the United States. This not only means that there is still a quality option for Retina repair, but for those of you in the US, shipping rates are much cheaper than to New Zealand! Listen to this episode as Paul talks about his work repairing Retinas, what some of his favorite models are, and what models he does and doesn't repair. In addition to Todd and Paul's massive amount of Kodak knowledge, we go deep into some of the best Kodak cameras ever made, the Kodaks Ektra, Medalist, Monitor, and Regent get discussed here. We talk about Walter Dorwin Teague, Dr. August Nagel, and Hubert Nerwin. Mike shares what his all time favorite Retina is to shoot, Anthony discusses his nomination for a medium format Retina, Todd and Mike talk about Joe Mihayli and his contributions to Kodak's legacy. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you! We would love to hear from more listeners, especially those who are new to shooting film or collecting cameras. Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show. We LOVE people who are new to shooting and are interested in having an episode dedicated to people new to the hobby, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance.

If you've ever wanted to know what it's like to shoot a Hasselblad XPan, Soviet Horizont, Noblex, or a Widelux camera, this is the episode for you! Episode 52 will be recorded on Friday, June 30th.
