#535 - Why is chronic disease still winning? | Mark Clermont (CEO, Cecelia Health) & Wendi Mader (CCO)

Slice of Healthcare

Mark Clermont is the CEO of Cecelia Health, and Wendi Mader is the company's Chief Commercial Officer. Cecelia is a virtual multi-specialty medical practice, licensed in all 50 states, that helps employers, payers, health systems, and life sciences companies manage chronic and cardiometabolic disease and bring down the cost of care. It's not a point solution. It's a medical practice that prescribes and manages medication (including GLP-1s, from prescribing through titration and side-effect management), runs intensive nutrition therapy, and handles behavior and lifestyle care, all through a team of RNs, RDs, certified diabetes educators, and physicians. The model is built to extend primary care, not replace it, and to coordinate across specialists instead of adding one more disconnected program.Mark and Wendi's argument is simple: chronic disease isn't winning because we lack apps or tools. It's winning because care is fragmented and nobody's tying it together. GLP-1s are making that worse before they make it better. They're the first drug class with indications spanning diabetes, obesity, sleep apnea, fatty liver, and soon addiction, which means a single patient can suddenly need four specialists who don't talk to each other. Cecelia's bet is that a multi-specialty practice can be the layer that connects all of it.We get into:Why chronic disease keeps winning even though there are more apps, tools, and wellness programs than ever, and what point solutions got wrongWhat actually happens to a patient with diabetes and high blood pressure inside Cecelia's model versus the system todayWhy GLP-1s are the first drug class to cross medical specialties, and why that's making fragmentation worse right nowThe patient on a high-dose GLP-1 and an SSRI who almost ended up in the ER, and what the direct-to-consumer prescriber missedHow the US can rank dead last among developed nations and still be the system Mark wouldn't trade for anywhere elseWhere the industry is over-indexing on AI in chronic care, and where Wendi thinks tech actually belongsThe specialty shortage, healthcare deserts, and rural-health funding, and how virtual coordinated care reaches patients brick-and-mortar can'tWhat's different for patients five years from now if Cecelia gets this right—Brought to you by: Sage Growth Partners — Value-focused strategy and marketing for growth-driven healthcare organizations. — Where to find Jared: • X: https://x.com/jaredstaylor • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaredstaylor/

870 · 10 Reasons to Visit Shanghai Disneyland... and Why This Trip Changed MeChina is a long way to go for a theme park... but Shanghai Disneyland is not a theme park. It is a destination that happens to have a Disney castle at its center.Lou Mongello had the privilege of being invited by Disney for Shanghai Disneyland's 10th anniversary celebration, with time alongside the Imagineering team who built it. In this episode, he gives you 10 reasons to visit Shanghai Disneyland, and why right now, during its 10th anniversary, is the perfect time to go.Here is what you will hear:The one design decision that makes Shanghai unlike any Disney park you have ever set foot in, and why it disorients you in the best possible wayThe only place on Earth you can walk through Zootopia, a land so detailed that guests line up just to photograph the lamppostsWhy the tallest Disney castle in the world is something you go inside, not just photograph, plus the anniversary-only shows playing on it right nowThe trackless boat ride that fans who have been to every Disney park call their single favorite attraction, periodThe one land where Disney hands you the controls, and the climb that Lou says sends you back down a different personThe stunt show with a real, raging tornado on stage, performed more than 10,000 times with live performers inside itThe snacks worth flying for, the Cast culture built from scratch, and the brand-new Spider-Man land rising right now with its coaster track already complete!and much more!And stay with me to the end, because this is the part I did not see coming. This trip did not just give me new things to talk about. It genuinely, fundamentally changed the way I think about Disney parks, not just what I think about them, but how. I am going to explain exactly how, and why, and why it might just change the way you see them too.Whether Shanghai is already on your bucket list or you have never once considered it, this one might change your mind.

I've been coaching therapists since 2019, and I keep seeing the same trajectory play out, in my clients and even in myself. We move through five stages when we grow something, and one of them feels like proof that something has gone wrong when it's really the opposite. Most people misread it completely, pull back from the very thing that was working, and then blame the strategy. There's also a kind of discomfort that feels identical but means the total opposite, and confusing the two will keep you handing off the wrong thing at the wrong time.In this episode, I'm walking you through all five stages, how to tell which one you're in, and why all of this is really about buying back your time for the dance class you keep saying you'll get to.Topics covered in this episode:The importance of knowing the right moment to delegate in your private practiceThe 5 stages every therapist moves through when growing a business, and how to tell which one you're in right nowThe one feeling most therapists misread completely, and what it's actually trying to tell youThe mistake that makes a working strategy stop workingResources from this episode:Liberated Business: www.thebadtherapist.coach/liberatedbusinessBuy Back Your Time: Get Unstuck, Reclaim Your Freedom, and Build Your Empire by Dan MartellThe Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay HendricksConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachQuote:"Boredom doesn't mean something is wrong.

This episode is part of our occasional Fintech Revealed series, where we do an extended deep dive into one topic with two industry experts. The topic today is vertical fintech, and I am joined by Matt Hennessy, the Business Lead at Increase, the modern banking infrastructure company, and Jamie Fox, the General Manager of Fintech at Tekion, the AI-native cloud platform that runs the entire business for auto dealerships across the US, Canada, and the UK. Tekion built its embedded banking on Increase, so the two of them give us both sides of the same story: the platform that lives inside the dealership and the infrastructure that connects it to the banking system. We get into the surprisingly large money flows inside a single dealership, why paper checks still beat instant rails for many operators, how compliance and trust get engineered into the product, and just how big this embedded banking opportunity gets.What We CoveredWhat vertical fintech is and why it matters nowThe money flows hiding inside a single car dealershipWhy outbound dealer spend is roughly 2x inboundOperating account vs. ledgering account adoption pathsDealer-to-dealer payments as a ledger change with zero rail feesInstant rails: RTP, FedNow, and Request for PaymentThe persistence of paper checks and the cost to operationalize themDirect Fed access vs. layers of middlewareCompliance as code, codified into the productBuilding trust in building blocksWhere agentic payments and "know your agent" fit inHow large the embedded banking opportunity ultimately getsKey TakeawaysOwning the financial system of record inside core operating software is the defensible position in an age when light "systems of engagement" can be replicated with AI.Outbound payments, not inbound, are the bigger prize: US auto dealerships pushed out roughly $1.3 trillion in 2024, about 2x what they took in.The barrier to instant rails is education, not technology. Many dealers do not know RTP or FedNow exists, or that they can pay a vendor any day of the week.Trust cannot be launched all at once. Holding a dealer's operating cash is a different level of trust than processing a payment they can fall back on, and it is earned in building blocks.For the founding story and more about Increase, check out my conversation with CEO and Founder Darragh Buckley from last year.Connect with Fintech One-on-One:Tweet me @PeterRentonConnect with me on LinkedInFind previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

Every generation says the next one is soft. Rob's dad said it. Dustin's dad said it. Now coaches are saying it about the athletes in their gyms right now. But before we accept the premise, it's worth asking a harder question: what if they're not softer at all? What if they're just more aware, more informed, and asking better questions than we're ready to answer?In this episode, Rob and Dustin take on the lazy version of the "today's athletes are soft" conversation and push toward something more useful — what coaches actually need to do differently when the people in front of them have more access, more options, and more questions than any generation before them.TopicsWhy "they're soft" is usually the wrong diagnosis — and what coaches miss when they stop thereThe difference between questions and questioning — and why Rob took it personally for yearsWhat COVID and social media actually broke (hint: it wasn't toughness — it was conflict resolution)How parents haven't really changed, but their access hasWhy coaches need to redefine toughness before they can teach it — Dustin's shift from calling out soft plays to catching tough onesThe Steve Magness two-part definition of team toughness: psychological safety + a real path to getting betterWhy the best marketer wins online, and what that means for how coaches teach their craft nowThe honest follow-up question: how much time are coaches spending on the 1% of 1% who bail?One Line Worth Thinking About"I don't think I've ever been harder on my guys from a practice, from a communication, from an accountability standpoint.

"You have set up this pattern where you completely abandon yourself unconsciously and make it about the other person because you believe on an unconscious level that that is the way that you will get love, connection, and ultimately survive."Codependency is one of those words I've avoided for a long time, not because it isn't real, but because I think it gets oversimplified in a way that misses what's actually happening. The deeper I go in my own process and the deeper I take my clients who've been doing this work for a while, the more I see that the layers of codependency we're dealing with aren't just behavioral. They're energetic. They started before we had language for any of it. And they've been running silently underneath every relationship, every decision, and every moment we've felt depleted, resentful, or like we're hitting a wall, without understanding why.What I've been uncovering, for myself and for the women I work with, is that so much of what we think is just "who we are" is actually a set of coping mechanisms we created in childhood to survive the emotional environment we were in. The way we automatically say yes. The way we absorb other people's feelings and lose track of our own. The way we don't even realize we have a choice. In this episode, I'm diving into what the deeper layers of codependency actually look like energetically, why they're so hard to see, and what it's meant for me to start pulling on these threads in real time, including some very personal things I've been navigating.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSWhy codependency goes far deeper than its mainstream definitionHow childhood coping mechanisms get wired into the nervous system as survival responses, not conscious choicesThe mother wound as the blueprint for every relationship pattern that followsThe Boomer generation, Pluto in Leo, and why narcissistic tendencies in parents are more common than most people realizeWhy highly sensitive, empathic women often can't tell the difference between their own feelings and everyone else'sThe moment I recognized I'd been operating from guilt and shame every time I said yesHow the same patterns that come from trauma become your greatest gifts once they're alchemizedThe energetic and astrological context for why so many of us are in a deep unraveling right nowThe questions to ask yourself when you're stuck, depleted, or repeating the same patterns**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**When you leave a review of the podcast on Apple Podcasts and send us a screenshot of it, we'll send you a $250 credit that you can apply to anything else in my world.Check out Breathwork to Heal Anxiety on my YouTube channelJoin me in The Metamorphosis which is my 3-month, groundbreaking, flagship program to rapidly and efficiently clear the familial and ancestral trauma that is blocking you from experiencing the wealth and freedom that you desire.Starting a business or working with clients?

The deeper you go into psychic and energy work, the more sensitive you become, not less. If you're building a spiritual practice or just trying to understand why doing this work keeps leaving you wrecked, this episode is the one you didn't know you needed.About This Episode Rachel White spent nearly two decades as a Senior Vice President at a global corporation, quietly doing tarot readings out of her Chicago apartment on weekends. Today she runs TOTEM Readings in Austin, TX, serves thousands of clients worldwide, and just published The Business of Woo, a pragmatic field guide for anyone trying to build a legitimate, client-facing spiritual practice without the toxic positivity or the grift.What makes Rachel's perspective genuinely rare is this: she doesn't just practice energy healing and psychic work at a high level... she spent 20 years in corporate strategy before doing it full time. The result is one of the sharpest, funniest, and most grounded conversations we've had about the intersection of psychic abilities, modern spirituality, and what it actually costs to build something real around both.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy developing your psychic abilities doesn't make you more protected over time. it makes you more permeable, and what that means for your daily life, your sleep, and your practiceThe single biggest mistake new practitioners make before they ever take a first paying client, and why your enthusiastic friends are not a market validation strategyWhy the Business of Woo is a $38 billion industry that is actively maturing, and what that means for anyone with a spiritual side hustle right nowThe pricing framework Rachel uses with her own mentoring clients, including why charging too much is often a red flag, not a signal of qualityWhat Rachel calls "the fake exorcism." A case study from her real practice that reveals exactly how fear-based manipulation works in the woo space, and how to spot it before it costs someone $10,000Why she tells herself out loud, several nights a week, that she will not leave her body in her sleep, and what that has to do with running a sustainable spiritual practiceWhy social media is structured more like a Ponzi scheme than a marketing channel, and what actually converts spiritual seekers into paying clientsThe one business move that outperforms Instagram, retreats, and online courses every single timeThe Bottom Line If you've felt drained, overstimulated, or emotionally gutted after doing spiritual or energy work for others, you're not doing it wrong... you're doing it right, and nobody warned you what comes next. Rachel did the hard work of figuring that out over sixteen years so you don't have to start from scratch.Listen, then tell us: Are you in the woo business, thinking about it, or just watching from a curious distance?

There is a particular kind of loneliness that hits in the middle of a full life. Not because you are isolated. Because the relationships that used to hold you steady are all being renegotiated at once. Your kids have left. A parent has died. A marriage needs new terms. A friendship has frayed. And the cultural rituals that once helped people move through moments like this are mostly gone.Bruce Feiler has spent the last three years traveling to 26 countries, attending over 100 ceremonies, and interviewing hundreds of people to understand what happens when we stop gathering in intentional ways. He's a seven-time New York Times bestselling author and the creator of the LifeQuakes framework. His new book, A Time to Gather, makes the case that we are living through both a celebration recession and a ritual renaissance at the same time.In this conversation, Bruce and Jonathan explore what it actually means to feel homesick in your own home, why the four traditional life rituals no longer match the lives most of us are actually living, and what it looks like to design a ritual from scratch when the ones you inherited don't fit.What you'll explore in this conversation:Why 5,000 Civil War soldiers were officially diagnosed as dying of homesickness, and what that history reveals about the longing you feel nowThe five building blocks of any ritual, from drawing the circle to creating a web of hope, and how to use them to mark a moment that mattersWhy Bruce calls this a celebration recession: what we stopped doing, when, and what's quietly replacing itThe live ritual Bruce helps Jonathan design in real time, walking through every step from welcome to closeWhy rituals are not just for grief and weddings, and the new ceremonies people are creating for divorce, mastectomies, miscarriages, sobriety, and career endingsIf you have ever felt the ground shift under you and not known how to steady yourself with the people you love most, this is the conversation for it.You can find Bruce at: Website | Instagram | Episode TranscriptNext week, we're sharing our conversation with Stanford professor Tina Seelig to talk about something most of us have completely backwards: how luck actually works, and why most of what we call luck is the result of deliberate actions hiding in plain sight.

Most people plan their retirement like they control the date. The data says they don't. A new Society of Actuaries study found that 59% of retirees stopped working earlier than expected -- and for most of them, the decision wasn't theirs. Health setbacks, job loss, caregiving demands, and plain old job dissatisfaction all showed up before the spreadsheet said it was time. Joe and OG dig into what the numbers actually mean, who's most at risk, and the specific steps that create real flexibility before retirement finds you. OG and Anna follow with a full walkthrough of equity compensation -- RSUs, ESPPs, and stock options -- including the tax surprise that catches most people off guard.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy 59% of retirees left the workforce earlier than they planned -- and why only 6% left laterThe income gap nobody talks about: how high earners retire early mostly because they wanted to, while lower earners are pushed out by health and job lossWhy Coast FIRE math falls apart the moment your income stream stops before you planned -- and what that means for how aggressively you should be saving right nowThe one manager change that can end a 20-year career overnight -- and why keeping your network warm is one of the most underrated retirement prep moves availableThe 30-year mortgage paid like a 15-year analogy: why building financial margin now means retirement can happen on your terms, not someone else'sHow to prepare for the emotional side of early retirement -- including the identity shift, the relationship changes, and the pent-up demand that makes the first year unexpectedly wildRSUs versus stock options versus ESPPs: what each one actually means, how they're taxed differently, and why getting a grant without a strategy is the most expensive mistake in equity compThe 5-10% concentration rule: how much of your net worth should be tied to company stock -- and why your paycheck counts in that mathThe RSU tax trap: why your company withholds at 22% but you might actually owe 37% -- and why spending all your RSU money on a pool before April is a terrible ideaStacker Kiki's accountability letter: the complete list of what she's cutting, what she refuses to cut, and why the gamification of frugality is more powerful than white-knuckling itWhy This Matters NowYou may not get to choose your retirement date.

It's both slightly right and completely missing the point.In this episode, Dr Renee White unpacks the real science behind stress, mindfulness, and fertility, cutting through the noise to tell you what the evidence actually supports, what it doesn't, and what's genuinely worth trying.This is part three of our six-part Trying to Conceive series.You'll Hear About:Why stress and reproduction are biologically competing systemsHow chronic stress disrupts your cycle and hormonesWhat mindfulness reliably improves (and what it doesn't)Why pregnancy rate claims need more evidence behind themFive evidence-backed practices worth integrating nowThe fertility journey asks so much of you.

Pretty standard Thursday for your favorite daily comedy show.The crew debates whether Monday or Friday should disappear forever in the glorious future of shorter work weeks, and Lern admits she's somehow become more productive working fewer days. Which feels fake, but apparently science backs it up. Meanwhile, Rizz shares the emotional rollercoaster of his son's surprise birthday party after the poor kid spent all day convinced nobody loved him. Nothing says “family bonding” like emotional manipulation followed by chocolate cake.Then comes the story that absolutely broke the internet: a Florida woman gets pulled over for texting while driving… except the officer claims she was holding the phone in her RIGHT HAND. Tiny issue there: she doesn't have a right hand. The bodycam footage somehow gets even more awkward as the cop doubles down harder than a guy trying to explain crypto at Buffalo Wild Wings. The gang breaks down the absurdity of the situation, internet reactions, and why this may be the greatest accidental self-own in police bodycam history.The show also dives into:Why your car might secretly be your emotional support podSolo road trips vs. chaotic family death marches to vacationWhy men's bathrooms are still operating like medieval punishment chambersAI-generated urinal layouts nobody asked forThe rise of “looksmaxxing” and the terrifying world of modern male body anxietyWhy apparently dudes are hanging grocery bags from their junk nowThe science of tiny confidence vs. giant disappointmentThe return of late-night fast food culture for all you beautiful raccoon peopleBest burgers and brisket spots around St. LouisWhy Thursday might secretly be the best night to eat outAlso: Rafe casually reveals somebody once touched tips in the woods during Little League and honestly the show never emotionally recovers from there.This episode has everything: Florida chaos. Bathroom sociology. Relationship oversharing. Burger recommendations. Dong science. Emotional support vehicles. And enough sarcastic nonsense to legally qualify as group therapy.If you love weird news, hilarious fails, pop culture commentary, and a bunch of friends arguing about things no adult should argue about before sunrise, congratulations — this daily comedy show continues making questionable decisions for your entertainment.Thanks for listening to another episode of The Rizzuto Show — the daily comedy show proudly keeping St. Louis distracted from real responsibilities since forever.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on the podcast, we're diving into a concept you've probably seen everywhere lately: glimmers. Recently identified by trend forecasters as one of the defining wellbeing trends for 2026, glimmers - the opposite of triggers - are tiny moments that spark feelings of safety, joy, calm, or connection. At a time when wellness can often feel overwhelming, expensive, or performative, glimmers offer something beautifully simple: the ability to find nourishment in what's already around us. To explore this idea, we're joined by two women who have quite literally written the book on it — sisters Nadia Narain and Katia Narain Phillips, authors of Glimmers: Tiny Moments to Transform Your Life.Nadia and Katia have spent decades exploring healing, self-care, nervous system regulation, and emotional wellbeing.Together they are also the bestselling authors of Self-Care for the Real World and Rituals for Every Day.In this conversation, we discuss:What glimmers actually are and why they matterHow noticing small positive moments can support nervous system regulationThe science behind glimmers and brain rewiringWhy this practice resonates so deeply right nowThe connection between glimmers, trauma healing, and mental healthSimple ways to begin noticing glimmers in everyday lifePersonal glimmers Nadia and Katia have experienced recentlyAnd the self-care practices they turn to themselvesThis is a warm, grounding and hopeful conversation about finding beauty, safety and connection in the smallest moments and why those moments may be more powerful than we realise.Come see us hosting in the Menopause tent at the Everywoman Festival on June 13th https://www.everywomanfest.com/tickets-londonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/self-care-club--6942824/support.Get in touch & come follow us on:Instagram Tiktok thttps://www.tiktok.com/@40ish.podcastJoin our private Facebook groupOrder our book hereBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/40ish-navigating-midlife-and-perimenopause--6942825/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rssStudio production by @launchpodstudiosMusic by purpleplanet.

And I realised yesterday that I'd completely forgotten to do this week's episode... I think this is the only time this has ever happened and I'm so sorry if you look forward to listening at a particular time.

This one is special. Wem and I got to sit down with Dr Wendy Russell, independent play researcher, senior research fellow at the University of Gloucestershire, and 50 years into a career that started on an adventure playground apprenticeship in the 1970s. I came away from this conversation needing to go for a long walk and think about everything.The first half covers Wendy's work on spatial justice for children, the politics of public space, and what it would actually mean to have a statutory play sufficiency duty in England. We talk about what play sufficiency means in practice, why Wales has led the way, and why politicians keep defaulting to playgrounds when the picture is so much bigger than that.The second half goes deeper, into the relational capability approach to playing and being well that Wendy has developed with Mike Barkley and Ben Tawil of Ludicology. Drawing on Henri Lefebvre's production of space, Karen Barad's concept of intra-action, and the relational turn across academic disciplines, Wendy patiently walked Wem and me through a genuinely paradigm-shifting way of thinking about children, play, agency and wellbeing.By the end, the playwork principles themselves come under scrutiny. The idea of play as "freely chosen and personally directed" gets unpicked in a way that I'm still sitting with.Strap in. Press rewind as many times as you need. See you on the other side.In this episodeHow Wendy moved from adventure playground apprentice to academic researcher across 50 years in play and playworkThe politics of space and what spatial justice for children actually meansWhy falling road casualty statistics for children hide a much more troubling storyPlay sufficiency as a principle, what it is, what Wales has done with it, and why England feels like it's at a genuine policy moment right nowThe tension between play's intrinsic value and what funders and politicians actually want to measureWhy post-occupancy evaluation of housing developments almost never happens, and what Diana Bournat's research tells us when it doesHow repositioning a ball games area changes the way girls move across an entire spaceThe relational capability approach to playing and being well, resources, opportunities, and the conditions that allow children to playThe relational turn across academic disciplines and what it means to move away from the individual, atomised childKaren Barad's concept of intra-action and why "interaction" doesn't quite capture itWhat all of this means for forest school practice, the wind, the branch, the ants, and usFollowing an object across a play session as a practitioner reflective tool (I am absolutely trying this)Why "freely chosen and personally directed" is a useful definition and also, it turns out, a deeply adult-centric oneLinks and resourcesWendy Russell's publications, University of Gloucestershire research repository (search "Wendy Russell Gloucestershire") or via her LinkedIn profile [add link]Playing and Being Well, the Play Wales commissioned research review: playwales.org.ukPlay Wales: playwales.org.ukPlay England: playengland.org.ukLudicology, Mike Barkley and Ben Tawil: ludicology.comUNCRC General Comment 17 on Article 31, children's right to playHenri Lefebvre, The Production of SpaceKaren Barad, concept of intra-actionTim Gill, children's independent mobility and road space design: timgill.netComing up at Children of the ForestPedagogy Immersion Weekend, 15 and 16 August 2026, Devon.

Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show turns into a full-on wilderness survival documentary… except nobody survives with dignity intact.The gang kicks things off talking about King Scott's rain-soaked blood drive experience, complete with lightning, wet parking lots, and accusations that his blood immediately got thrown in the trash because “ginger blood isn't FDA approved.” Real teamwork stuff. Then things somehow pivot into a full review of the St. Louis Aquarium, where Rafe realizes he's accidentally been recommending what may actually be a third-grade field trip destination to every adult tourist he's met for the last five years.Apparently, for the low low price of fifty bucks, you too can enjoy seven mirrors, stressed-out otters doing all the heavy lifting, and a ropes course so terrifying it nearly destroyed an entire family emotionally in real time. Nothing says “fun day in St. Louis” like watching a dad's cargo shorts lose a battle against gravity while suspended from the rafters of Union Station.But the true centerpiece of this daily comedy show is Riz's attempted baby deer rescue.A tiny fawn gets trapped inside an MSD fenced enclosure behind his house during a storm, and what begins as a heroic wildlife rescue instantly devolves into one of the funniest group-chat pile-ons in show history. Riz insists he “did everything he could,” while everyone else points out that his version of heroism mostly involved making phone calls, avoiding mud, refusing to climb a fence, and eventually taking a nap while the deer repeatedly knocked itself unconscious.Meanwhile, Moon keeps demanding bolt cutters, Lern is ready to climb barbed wire with a quilt like it's 1987, and Rafe essentially puts Riz on trial for crimes against masculinity. Somehow, despite all odds, the deer survives thanks to the ACTUAL heroes: two MSD workers who show up with keys while Riz continues defending his life choices from the warmth of indoors.Also in this episode:Why St. Louis weather feels personally offensive nowThe aquarium train ride narrated by a wildly underutilized John GoodmanWhy ropes courses are apparently medieval torture devicesThe ethics of touching wild animalsFinal week of school energyAnother kid crawling into a claw machineWhy everyone immediately turned on Riz in the group chatAnd the growing realization that “calling someone else” may actually be Riz's superpowerThis daily comedy show somehow combines wildlife rescue failure, aquarium disappointment, family trauma, weather rage, and public humiliation into one beautifully chaotic morning.Honestly?

Let this mind be in youwhich was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not considerit robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking theform of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. Welcometo Pastor's Chat today. Today we're back to Philippians 2:5-11. Some Biblescholars believe this is the greatest passage in all the Bible. Many people andBible scholars believe that this section was an early Christian hymn that theApostle Paul quoted to teach the church about the humility and the glory ofJesus Christ. Today we want to talk about the mind of Christ, the mind thatchanges everything.  Butwe need to remember in context that Paul is not merely teaching doctrine here.He is dealing with relationships in the church. Back in verses 1-4, Paul hadurged the believers to walk in humility, to walk in unity and selflessness.Remember he said, "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition orconceit, but in lowliness of mind. Let each esteem others better thanthemselves." Then he gives the perfect example, Jesus Christ. “Letthis mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus”.  Nowthe word mind here refers to the attitude, the mindset, the disposition or theway of thinking. Some people call this the submissive mind. It is the attitudethat willingly lays aside selfish ambition for the good of others and for theglory of God. Our thinking determines our living. Remember Proverbs 23:7, "Asa man thinks in his heart, so is he." If our minds are filled withpride and selfishness and comparison, jealousy, personal rights, relationshipswill begin to crumble. Homes become tense. Churches become divided andfriendships become strained. But when the believer develops the mind of Christ,unity and joy can flourish.  RememberPaul wrote Philippians from a Roman prison cell. Yet joy is filling his heartand his letter because Christ filled Paul's heart. The mind of Christ is notjust natural. It is supernatural. Remember Romans 12:2, “Be transformed bythe renewing of your mind…”. The Christian life is not behaviormodification. No, it is heart transformation. Remember that. This is exactlywhat is the mind of Christ.  Therest of the passage tells us about Christ. He surrendered. He surrendered Hisrights. He humbled Himself. He became a servant. He obeyed the Fathercompletely. He sacrificed Himself for others. Jesus did not live for Himself.If you ask what the mind of Christ is, you find it in Mark 10:45, “For eventhe Son of Man came not to be ministered unto but to minister and to give Hislife a ransom for others”. This is the mind that you and I are called to.  Sotoday, ask yourself the question, am I demanding my rights? Am I easilyoffended? Am I more concerned about being served or serving others? Would myfamily say I have the mind of Christ? Oh, my friend, the battle for humilitybegins in the mind. A church split usually starts with a proud thought. Abroken marriage often begins with selfish attitudes, and a bitter spirit beginswith unchecked thinking. But revival also begins in the mind.  Whenbelievers begin to say, "Lord Jesus, think through me, love through me,serve through me," everything changes. That is when we know we have themind of Christ. Maybe today there is someone you need to encourage instead ofcriticize. Maybe there is someone you need to forgive instead of avoid. Maybethere is a selfish attitude the Holy Spirit is revealing. The mind of Christalways moves us toward humility, unity, and sacrificial love.  Today,please pray this prayer with me. “Father, thank You for giving us the perfectexample of Jesus Christ. Forgive us for selfish thinking and proud attitudes.Renew our minds today and help us to think like Jesus. Fill us with humility,love and a servant's heart. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.” Godbless you and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day!

Two-thirds of dementia cases are women. Two-thirds of caregivers are women. And the brain changes that lead to dementia begin 20 to 30 years before symptoms appear — which means, for most women, that window falls directly during the menopausal transition.That's not a coincidence. It's a clinical reality that neurologist Dr. Ashanthi Gajaweera has built her entire practice around.Dr. Gajaweera is the founder of Healthspan Neurology PC in New York and one of a rare few clinicians who holds dual expertise as a board-certified neurologist and a Menopause Society Certified Provider. With 25+ years of clinical experience, she specializes in cognitive longevity and dementia prevention — with a particular focus on women.In this episode, we cover:• Why dementia is, above all else, a women's disease — and what that means for prevention• What is actually happening in the menopausal brain — and why it matters• The 14 modifiable risk factors identified by the Lancet Commission — and the four critical factors specific to women that don't appear on that list• Why the menopausal transition is the most powerful window a woman has to protect her brain• Evidence-based strategies you can start nowThe brain is resilient. The window is open. This episode will show you what to do with it.

Robert Patin has spent the better part of two decades inside agency finance — helping one firm grow from $1.2M to eight figures in 24 months, then taking those lessons to his consultancy, Creative Agency Success. His lens is analytical and unusually direct: most agencies have a pricing problem, and it's not the one they think it is.In this episode, Robert breaks down why under-pricing rarely solves the objections it's meant to, how AI is quietly reshaping the conversation between agencies and enterprise clients, and what it actually means to use AI well in biz dev versus just delegating your thinking to a chatbot. He also gets into where agencies have a real window to build defensible value right now — and how long that window might be open.What We Cover:The most common pricing mistakes Robert sees — and why under-pricing doesn't actually solve price objectionsWhy the sale is almost always lost before the price is even mentionedWhat to ask when a prospect says "it's too expensive"How AI is starting to create pricing pressure — and why enterprise clients will feel it firstThe agencies winning with AI in biz dev versus the ones just delegating their thinkingUsing intent signals to reach fewer, better-fit prospects instead of blasting campaignsWhat to automate versus what to keep human in your sales processDistilling your expertise into if-then logic that AI can actually useWhy data is the most valuable asset agencies are sitting on right nowThe race between software companies becoming agencies and agencies becoming software companiesWhere agencies have defensible ground over the next few years — and where they don'tRobert put together a free resource page specifically for Digital Agency Growth listeners — white paper, a free copy of his book, and a link to chat with him directly about your agency.

In this episode of The Insomnia Project sleep podcast, Amanda and Marco settle into a warm, unhurried walk down memory lane — the kind of conversation that feels like catching up with old friends late at night. They revisit the small but vivid moments of growing up: first email addresses, rotary phones, and the particular joy of discovering you could binge an entire TV show. It's exactly the kind of gentle, nostalgic chat this relaxing podcast does best — perfect for anyone who needs help winding down, falling asleep, or simply escaping the noise of the day.The conversation drifts naturally from childhood tech and firsts into something a little deeper, when Marco shares a story from his swimming lessons and the surprisingly calming life lesson he took away from them — that the more relaxed you are, the better you perform. From there, Amanda steers things toward Party of Five, and the two hosts ease into a slow, soothing rundown of the cast: who played who, what their character names were, and what they've been up to since. It's the kind of trivia you can close your eyes to.Whether you grew up watching Party of Five or just love a good nostalgia spiral, this episode is a soft landing for a busy mind.What we talk about in this episode:First email addresses and what they were likeUsing a rotary phone and other childhood tech memoriesBinging your first TV show and that early obsession feelingMarco's swimming lessons and the life lesson that relaxation leads to better performanceAmanda's love of Party of FiveA full cast review — real names, character names, and what the actors are doing nowThe comfort of revisiting pop culture from the pastThis episode is perfect for:Falling asleep naturally while listening to easy, familiar conversationAnyone who loves 90s nostalgia, retro TV, or pop culture throwbacksWinding down after a long day with something gentle and unhurriedListeners who struggle with a racing mind or nighttime anxietyParty of Five fans, or anyone who grew up watching TGIF-era televisionThe Insomnia Project is a top-rated sleep podcast and sleepcast built for overthinkers.
