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. But you do get to choose how prepared you are for the day it arrives. The people in this study who retired early by choice had one thing in common: they'd built enough margin that the choice was actually theirs.From the BasementJoe and OG dig into a USA Today piece on the surprising frequency of unplanned early retirement -- and what to do about it before the decision gets made for you. OG and Anna deliver episode five of their financial basics series with a full equity compensation walkthrough, including the tax withholding gap that sends people to April with surprise bills. Doug arrives with Mickey Mantle trivia. A community poll on how often Stackers check their portfolios during headlines produces results that are more honest than most people expected. Stacker Kiki writes a detailed letter about her intentional spending cuts, and OG quietly admits he's been burning through hotel shampoo samples all year.Resources MentionedSociety of Actuaries Retirement Risks Survey -- released May 2026; linked at stackingbenjamins.comUSA Today -- "Most of Us Retire Earlier Than Planned.

You've probably been told to "just relax" at some point on your fertility journey. Maybe by a friend, a family member, or even a health professional. And if you're anything like most people trying to conceive, you probably wanted to throw something at them.That advice isn't just unhelpful. 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. It can feel like your body is working against you, when the science tells a more nuanced story. Your nervous system and your reproductive system are in conversation, and understanding that relationship puts something real back in your hands.Share this episode with someone who's been told to "just relax" and deserves a better answer.

Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show somehow begins with everyone realizing a four-day work week may actually save society… and immediately spirals into discussions about bathroom troughs, tiny dong panic, and a Florida cop confidently ticketing a woman for holding her phone in the hand she literally does not have.So yeah. 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.
Send us Fan MailToday's commute down I-95 starts with traffic and overcast skies… but quickly turns into a serious conversation about wrong-way drivers, police chases, and how terrifyingly fast normal life can turn into tragedy.After hearing about multiple wrong-way driving incidents in South Florida — including a deadly crash tied to a 16-mile police pursuit — Paul tries to make sense of something that seems impossible:How does somebody end up driving the wrong direction for that long?The conversation covers:Dash cams becoming almost mandatory nowThe chaos of wrong-way highway drivingWhether modern cars should warn drivers they're going the wrong wayQuestions surrounding high-speed police pursuitsWhy some departments avoid chases altogetherThe terrifying reality for innocent drivers caught in the middleAnd how confusing roads, medians, ramps, and navigation can become under pressurePlus:

You read that right. I just acquired my largest competitor.For the last six months, I've been quietly navigating one of the most emotionally intense and professionally transformative seasons of my life while keeping this acquisition completely under wraps. And now, I can finally tell the full story.Impact Fitness Coaching Academy (IFCA) has been one of the most respected names in the online coaching industry for years, helping more than 4,800 coaches scale to $10k, $100k and even $200k months through systems, leadership and operational excellence. From the outside looking in, they were the company I spent years aggressively trying to beat.So how did I go from competitor to owner?In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on everything: how the opportunity landed on my lap, why I immediately knew I wanted IFCA, what the last six months behind the scenes actually looked like and what this acquisition means for my business, my clients and the future of the fitness coaching industry.We're talking about:The emotional toll of making massive decisions without certaintyWiring 50% of my net worth into one moveThe difference between attention and trust in today's marketWhy the online coaching industry is changing rapidlyWhat this exposed in me as a founderWhy I believe trust is the most valuable currency in business nowThe future vision for FCA + IFCA moving forwardThis isn't just a business acquisition story. It's a conversation about leadership, expansion, identity shifts and what happens when the vision for your life suddenly becomes bigger than the version of ythat built it.– For details on the acquisition and a video from me, click below.https://bignews.taelerdehaes.com/
AI, health tech, digital systems, clinician workflows… are we entering healthcare's biggest technological shift yet?In this episode of Chewing It Over, Jack sits down with Pete Greenberg (EQL) to discuss the evolving world of healthcare technology and what it means for clinicians, clinics, and patients.Topics include:Why healthcare is finally having its “tech moment”AI hype vs meaningful innovationThe challenges clinicians face navigating new technologyDigital overwhelm and decision fatigueHow health tech should support—not replace—human careData, trust, workflows, and adoption barriersWhat clinics should be paying attention to nowThe future relationship between technology and MSK practiceThis isn't a conversation about replacing clinicians with AI.It is a discussion about using technology wisely, protecting the human side of healthcare, and understanding where innovation genuinely adds value.
Let's have some real talk.
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.

Here's the uncomfortable question: could someone say the same thing about yours?

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? The baby deer may recover faster than Riz's reputation.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/RizzShow.Hear 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.

If you've been stuck in the endless cycle of doing all the things but never actually growing your business, this episode is your wake up call. In this conversation, I break down the real difference between working in your business and leading it as a CEO, and why so many of us default to technician mode without even realizing it. I walk you through what CEO time actually looks like, why it feels uncomfortable, and how avoiding it is quietly keeping you stuck in reactive mode instead of building something intentional and sustainable.Topics covered in this episode include:The subtle shift that separates overwhelmed business owners from intentional CEOsWhy “busy” might be the biggest red flag in your business right nowThe exact breakdown of a powerful one hour CEO routineTake action by scheduling your own CEO hour this week and start leading with intention. And if you're ready for deeper clarity and support, connect with me, share your biggest takeaway, or take the next step toward building a business that truly works for you.I would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JenTaylorConsulting/ & Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jentaylorconsulting/!Resources Mentioned:Small Business Task Appendix: www.jentaylorconsulting.com/worksheets/small-business-task/Show notes available at: https://jentaylorconsulting.com/design-your-wedding-business-podcast/
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!

Today's episode is a MUST watch.This is one of the most important conversations you will ever hear about money, AI, identity, and the next economy you are about to live inside.If you are working harder than ever and watching your income stay flat, if you feel AI breathing down the neck of your industry, if you carry a gift inside you that has not yet found its way to the bank account, this episode gives you something most conversations don't. Real diagnosis, backed by 33 years of applied research, and a clear system you can start using this week.In this powerful episode, Dr. Martine Wilkie, Th.D., Founder of the Limitless Interface System™, opens the full architecture of the 4D Limitless Interface Protocol™. The same architecture she used to come out of bankruptcy, lose 70 pounds in four months without dieting, restore her marriage, and rebuild her income from the inside out. The same architecture that has transformed over 1,000 leaders, entrepreneurs, and people of faith across multiple nations.Dr. Martine breaks down what is actually happening to the global economy right now, why the rules of money from 1990 to 2020 are no longer producing results in 2026, and why AI is dividing humanity into two groups, the replaced and the amplified. The line between the two has nothing to do with intelligence, hustle, or talent. The line is drawn at the level of the inner interface.She explains the 80/20 truth about money in the AI economy. Why 80 percent of your financial result comes from the invisible part of you, the inner code your subconscious has been running for thirty years, and why most people spend 100 percent of their energy on the visible 20 percent that AI now does faster, cheaper, and sometimes better than the human who used to be paid for it.Dr. Martine walks you through the 4 dimensions of recoding, Psycho, Neuro, Spiritual, and Strategic with AI as your amplifier. She names the password your soul uses to log into life, the bloodline memory science calls epigenetics, the 18 laws of Heaven that govern manifestation whether you believe in them or not, and the strategic dimension that finally brings your inner work into the visible economy.If you have ever felt that your great grandparents are still running your bank account from generations ago, this episode explains why, and how to break the inherited financial code carried in your blood.In this episode you'll learn:How to recognize the seven reasons most people will lose money to AI in 2026 unless they shift the inner interface nowThe 80/20 truth about money in the AI economy and why effort alone cannot move the ceiling anymoreThe full 4D Limitless Interface Protocol™ broken open dimension by dimensionWhy genetics and family history are not your destiny when it comes to wealth, calling, and identityHow to use AI as your amplifier instead of letting AI replace what only you can carryThe sentence to memorize that draws the line between being replaced and being amplified in 2026The exact first step you can take this week to begin recoding the inner interfaceThere is so much good news in the science and in the system.There are simple, accessible steps you can start using today, even while watching, that begin rewiring the inner interface and producing visible results across every sphere of your life.If you are concerned about your income, your calling, your identity, or your future in the AI economy, this is the conversation you need.
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.
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. Amanda and Marco's quiet, meandering conversations are designed to ease anxiety, slow a racing mind, and help you drift off naturally — no meditation, no white noise, just two people talking about nothing in particular, and everything that matters.If this episode helped you relax or get a better night's sleep, we'd love it if you took a moment to follow the show on Spotify or Apple Podcasts — it's the simplest way to help new listeners find us.
What happens when you mess up as a parent?Because let's be honest… no matter how intentional you try to be, no matter how many goals you set, there are still going to be moments where you lose your patience, react in a way you regret, or just plain get it wrong. The real question is not if that will happen, but what you do next.In this second half of my conversation with Jon Hord, we move from awareness into action. Jon shares what it actually looks like to repair those hard moments with your kids, how to model growth instead of perfection, and why those “mess up” moments can become some of the most powerful connection points in your family.This episode is incredibly practical, but also deeply encouraging. You are not stuck in your patterns. You are not defined by your worst moments. And you have more influence than you think in shaping your relationship with your kids moving forward.In this episode, we cover: What to say after you lose your temper or handle something poorly Why apologizing to your kids builds respect instead of weakening authority How to turn parenting mistakes into opportunities for connection The difference between working on yourself silently and involving your kids in the process A simple way to help kids learn compromise and ownership (using dinner!) Why the dinner table is one of the most powerful connection points in your home The impact of removing phones and distractions during family time One mindset shift that can instantly change how you respond to your kidsResources We Mention for Repairing Parenting MistakesJoin the Engaged Father Project community nowThe importance of family dinnersWhat is the role of fathers when it comes to teaching kids about health and food?Helping teens and tweens build a healthy relationship with technologyDon't miss #LifeSkillsNow Season 5!

If there's one thing that's transformed my personal style the most, it's this: editing my closet. I'm a firm believer that a tidy closet = a clear mind, and every spring, I treat it like a full reset.After doing one of the biggest clean-outs of my life (we're talking half my closet gone), I realized that great style isn't about having more, it's about having the right pieces, and knowing how to let go of the rest. In this solo episode, I'm walking you through my exact, step-by-step guide to a spring closet reset—how to approach it with intention, make it actually enjoyable, and come out the other side with a wardrobe that finally feels like you.We get into:How to define your personal style right nowThe exact system I use to edit my closet (keep, tailor, rehome)My “hero rack” trick that changes how you get dressed every dayWhat to do with pieces you feel emotionally attached toHow to actually sell your clothes (and make money back)Why you shouldn't rush to buy anything new after a clean-outThank you to Depop for making this episode possible.

This episode is the continuation of Episode 188, and if that one was about telling the truth about what it takes to be an entrepreneur, this one is about telling the truth about what's happening in online business right now. The landscape has shifted. People aren't committing to long-term offers the way they used to. The economy is doing what it's doing. And I've been collecting data on my own business long enough to know: something has to give.So I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly what I'm changing, why I'm changing it, and the questions I asked myself to get there.TOPICS WE EXPLORE:What I'm noticing in online business right nowThe data I've been collecting on my own business and what it told me to doWhy I'm not changing my offer, just how I deliver itHow my own experience as a buyer in this economy informed my decisionWhat client retention has looked like and why it matters more than new client volume right nowThe question every entrepreneur should be asking right now before making any big business moveTHE POINT:Most of the time, the answer isn't to burn down your offer. It's to ask whether there's a different way to deliver it that meets your client where she actually is. That takes honesty… about the market, about your own experience as a buyer, and about what's actually keeping people from saying yes.MENTIONED:Episode 188: Stop Pretending Your Business Is Easy: The Truth About High-Functioning EntrepreneursBusiness Therapy: Ash's one-on-one coachingThe Quick Fix: 90 minutes one-on-one + 2 weeks VoxerThe Regulated Woman: Being rebranded and expanded Are you loving it?

Your calendar is full. Your days are packed. You are grafting. And yet your business still feels like it's running you instead of the other way around. That's not a time management problem. That's your leader identity trying to get your attention underneath a pile of doing.In today's episode, I'm breaking apart the doer identity, the part of you that was built to be the reliable one, the one who got things done, the one who never let anything slip, and why that same part is now the ceiling you keep hitting. I'm talking about the subconscious beliefs that made "busy" feel like "worthy" and why no amount of discipline will fix what is actually an identity shift waiting to happen.I'm also sharing exactly what your calendar is revealing about your CEO mindset right now (whether you like it or not, it's basically your subconscious document) and I'm giving you four things to do this week, starting with how you open your laptop tomorrow morning, that start building your CEO identity in real time.This one's going to land. And it might sting a little.Topics covered on Leader Identity:What is your calendar telling you about your leader identity right nowThe subconscious beliefs that made "doing more" feel like the only way to be valuedThe difference between a doer who fills every gap in their calendar vs a leader who protects CEO space on purposeHow to start building your CEO identity even if you don't have any team membersThe one identity shift that changes how you show up to your business every single dayWhy your CEO mindset is measured by intention, not by how many tasks you completedConnect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeRelated episodes you may enjoy:277.

Every leader is talking about AI but very few are talking about what it's actually doing to them. Not the tools, strategy, or efficiency gains, but the quiet, personal unease that sits underneath all of it. The question that some of the most experienced, most senior leaders are privately asking but rarely saying out loud is am I still relevant?In this episode, James Rule reframes the AI conversation. AI is not just a technology shift, it is a stress test. Like all stress tests, what it's really doing is highlighting the gaps in judgment, role clarity, and emotional courage that the pace of normal leadership life was masking.KEY TAKEAWAYSWhy the real AI conversation leaders are having is not about tools it's about relevance and identityHow AI is acting as a stress test for leadership capability and what it's exposingThe shift from knowledge work to wisdom work and what that means for your role right nowThe three leadership gaps AI is surfacing in senior leaders: clarity of judgment, role clarity, and emotional courageFour honest reflection questions to help you understand where you standRELATED EPISODES FROM THE ARCHIVEEpisode 94 - Leadership Essentials: Adaptability Episode 84 - Leadership Essentials: Clarity Episode 119 - Strip away the title.

Estranged parents carry a grief that doesn't fit any of the containers we have for it. It's not the grief of death. It doesn't come with rituals or recognition. And much of the world around them doesn't know how to hold it or quietly questions whether they have a right to it at all.In this episode of The Estranged Heart podcast, Kreed names a specific and often unspoken layer of that grief: the grief for the potential. Not the relationship you had with your adult child - the one you always believed was coming. The closeness that was supposed to develop. The grandmother you expected to become. The years ahead that had your child fully in them.In This EpisodeWhy estrangement grief doesn't fit our existing containers for loss and why that makes it harder to move throughWhat "grieving the potential" means for estranged parents: the specific futures that were lost, not just the relationship that exists nowThe particular grief of estranged mothers - including the grandmother grief that is often the most acute and least witnessedAnticipatory grief in the estranged parent experience: what it means to live in sustained, unresolved loss when reconciliation is still theoretically possibleThe grief of not being chosen - one of the most tender and least-named layers of the estranged parent experienceHow the "they'll come back eventually" narrative can become a way of skipping grief rather than sustaining hope - and why that mattersPractical guidance for how to actually grieve the potential, including why specific grief moves where vague grief stays stuckChapters00:00 Introduction to Estrangement Grief06:36 Understanding Potential Grief12:10 Anticipatory Grief and Its Impact14:35 What This Grief Is Not17:11 The Grief of Not Being Chosen21:39 Navigating Grief and Hope23:53 Practical Steps to Grieve Potential26:14 Finding Wholeness Beyond GriefResources & SupportFacebook Support Group for Estranged Moms (facilitated by Kreed) - https://www.facebook.com/groups/estrangedmotherssupportgroupOne-on-One ServicesPrivate coachingConsultingMediation servicesConnect with Kreed:Website: theestrangedheart.comEmail: hello@theestrangedheart.comSupport the work: Buy Me a Coffee (donation platform)Disclaimer: Kreed Revere is not a licensed therapist.

Most powersports dealers have some form of reinsurance in place. Most of them have no idea what is actually in it.Gene Silas has been in the industry for over 30 years. Jeff Barron has been at it for 26. Together they run Brightline Dealer Advisors, one of the largest broker firms in the United States and they spend their days helping dealers understand what they actually own in their F&I back end and how much of it is quietly walking out the door in fees they have never seen.They recently did a webinar with the NPDA that generated a ton of questions. So I brought them on here to go even deeper for our audience.What we cover:Why most dealers look at only one number on their reinsurance statement and miss everything elseThe walkaway, retro, CFC, and DOWC structures explained in plain English — and how to know which one fits youProducts that can go into reinsurance: service contracts, tire and wheel, paint and fabric, GAP, and ancillariesWhy GAP should usually be kept separate from your service contract reinsurance positionThe hidden fee problem: ceding fees, loss adjustment expense, and premium tax that come off the dealer's bottom line before they ever see the moneyThe side-by-side comparison that could be costing dealers $50,000 to $60,000 a year depending on volumeWhy all fees should be visible in the admin fee and what "below the line fees" actually meansThe A account vs the B account in plain English — and why moving money to the B account as fast as possible mattersHow dealers can borrow against their own B account money and pay the interest back to themselves instead of a bankCapital gains vs ordinary income: the tax difference that can mean 18 to 20 points on millions of dollarsThe risk triangle: why reinsurance is not a set it and forget it situationEarly claims and multiple cause of loss: what it looks like when a service contract is being used as a recon toolThe disappearing deductible strategy that keeps customers coming back to your service bay and protects your bookWhy you need claim override controls and exactly who should have themThe nine questions every dealer should be asking their current reinsurance providerGene's AI tip: how to use ChatGPT or Claude to find every fee buried in your dealer agreement in minutesWhat a real advisory partner looks like vs someone just managing their own book through youGene's FTC prediction: powersports dealers have 12 months or less before enforcement starts — and what to do about it nowThe $54,000 per violation reality and why 97 automotive dealers have already faced itWatch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixit?si=xGw636a89UUDAK20Connect with Gene Silas (Brightline): gsilas@brightlinedealer.comConnect with Jeff Barron (Brightline): jbarron@brightlinedealer.comConnect with Jacob: https://linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berryFollow the Fixit Online: https://linktr.ee/dealershipfixitMotoHunt for Dealers: https://dealers.motohunt.com

The hosts break down the cases in detail, including the murky statistics on uterine rupture risk, the medical racism baked into how Black women are treated during childbirth, and how Florida's fetal personhood laws have created a legal landscape where state prisoners have more rights over their medical decisions than pregnant women.They also revisit the ongoing story of Adriana Smith, the Georgia woman declared brain dead at 9 weeks pregnant whose family has been navigating the aftermath of forced life support ever since.Key topics coveredThe ProPublica investigation into Cherise Doyley and Brianna BennettWhat fetal personhood laws are and why they matter right nowThe 1999 Laura Pemberton case — an early Florida forced C-section precedentMedical racism and the maternal mortality disparity for Black womenThe difference between doulas and midwivesWhy mentally competent patients can refuse most medical treatmentAdriana Smith's story and her family's GoFundMeWomen being excluded from health studies until the 1990sTRIPS:Lavender Dreams & Riviera Nights With Erika (Tickets close on May 2!)

Sent us text! We would love to hear from you! FROM THE COCKPIT — EPISODE 247 SUMMARY: In this episode, Commander Drew and Dr. Paul tackle one of aviation's most dangerous open secrets — the mental health crisis hiding in plain sight behind every cockpit door. They break down the Mental Health in Aviation Act, which just cleared the Senate Commerce Committee unanimously, and explain why that kind of bipartisan agreement tells you everything about how serious this has become. Then the good news: fatal drug overdoses have dropped sharply across the country in one of the longest sustained declines on record, teen pregnancy just hit another historic low, and a 68-year-old Domino's driver in Boise bought a customer's Diet Coke with his own money — and walked away with $130,000 in tips. The Jet Jolt goes deep into high-G flight and what really happens when your body starts to lose the fight against G-LOC. Ray in Biloxi, Mississippi writes in with one of the most honest letters we've ever received — a 60-year-old man who wants the racism he was raised on out of his head for good. And a Wingman Story that will stay with you: "Watching May's Six." We talk about: The Mental Health in Aviation Act — what it does, why it passed unanimously, and why it matters right nowThe heartbreaking story of student pilot John Hauser — and what his letters tell us about a system that left him no safe way outWhy the pilot who asks for help is actually the safer pilotHow G-forces narrow your vision the same way stress narrows your life — and what to do about bothFatal overdoses down 20%, teen pregnancy at a historic low — the good news nobody's reportingDan the pizza delivery man, a missing Diet Coke, and $130,000 in tipsRay in Biloxi asks Commander Drew and Dr. Paul how a man rewires himself after 60 years of the wrong programmingAce's Gouge: How to build and keep a real crew of friends in your 40s, 50s, and beyondA Wingman Story about a nurse named May, a man named Marcus, and what it means to watch somebody's six when the room goes quietYour Wingman Challenge This Week: Think of one person in your orbit who seems a little off lately — quieter than usual, shorter fuse, not quite themselves. Don't wait for them to say something. Send a text. Ask a real question. Be the wingman they don't know they need yet. The best pilots in the world know when to call for help. Be that pilot.

When was the last time you actually felt at peace, genuinely, deeply okay in your own skin?If that question makes you uncomfortable, you're exactly who this episode is for.Ishan Shivanand spent 19 years inside a Himalayan monastery before stepping into the West to teach. He's a mental health researcher whose ancient practices have been validated in double-blind clinical trials showing an 82% reduction in severe insomnia, 75% reduction in anxiety, and 72% reduction in depression within four to eight weeks. He teaches at Google and Amazon. He's been invited to the White House. And his book, The Practice of Immortality, has reached over a million readers.He's also the guy who thought his roommate was possessed by a demon — because he'd never seen anyone drunk before. Jon and Will love him.This conversation goes deep into why most men feel stuck, what's actually blocking them from peace, and what five minutes a day — just five — can do to start changing that.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Why happiness isn't something you chase — it's something you uncover right nowThe mirror vs. the window: how to know which one you're looking throughHow the ego operates as a parasite — and why spiritual practice can't work until it's addressedWhy gratitude isn't something you feel — it's something you build through Astay, trust, service, and patienceThe two demons every man on a mission must resist: sweet words and harsh wordsWhy five minutes of daily breath awareness is where every man should start — and how to build from thereTOP 3 SIMILAR EPISODES FROM MTM:Ep. 111 — Accessing Inner Harmony: Mind-Body Integration with Luke IorioEp. 120 — Creating Emotional Stability with Jay FieldsEp. 125 — The Shadow Holds Your Power, Not Your Pain with Connor BeatonFOLLOW ISHAN SHIVANAND:InstagramYoga of ImmortalityStart Your Mindful Journey:SUBSCRIBE - Thursday Three Things or Text MTM to 33777: newsletter.focusnowtraining.comFREE Training Content or Corporate Workshop: focusnowtraining.comMore Episodes & Resources: mentalkingmindfulness.comCoaching with Will: willnotfear.comBook Jon to Speak: jonmacaskill.comCo-produced by Robert Lopez | cratesaudio.comHosted on Ausha.

The New Space Race Is About Resources Not ExplorationWith Namrata GoswamiThe Cold Star Project - Season 2, Episode 101Hosted, Directed, and Produced by Jason KaniganSpace is no longer about exploration.The real shift is happening around resources. Water, energy, and the ability to build and operate beyond Earth. That changes what matters, and who matters.In this episode of The Cold Star Project, I talk with space policy expert Namrata Goswami about how the United States, China, and India are approaching space resources, and why smaller countries like the UAE and Luxembourg moved earlier than most people realize.We get into what has actually changed since the Cold War model of prestige and firsts, how nations are thinking about the Moon and cislunar space, and what happens once resource extraction becomes practical at scale.This is not theoretical. The policies, programs, and infrastructure are already being put in place.Topics covered:Space resources and why they matter nowThe shift from exploration to infrastructureU.S., China, and India strategy in spaceWhy the Moon matters more than Mars right nowThe role of smaller countries in setting early rulesPublic private partnerships and commercial spaceWhat happens when space resource extraction becomes viableIf you are trying to understand where space development is actually going, this is the conversation.Subscribe for more interviews on space, defense, and strategy.Scramble for the Skies book on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Scramble-Skies-Competition-Control-Resources/dp/149858313X/About The Cold Star ProjectThe Cold Star Project explores the technology, strategy, and economics shaping the future of space and defense.Executive Clarity Assessment: https://coldstartech.com/assessmentJason's latest Space industry book, for space startup founders - "The Evolution of Space Ownership": https://coldstartech.com/evospaceFair Use Disclaimer: https://coldstarproject.com/fairuseAll referenced material is used here for commentary and analysis purposes.Remuneration DisclaimerWe were not remunerated by the guest or their organization if any for this discussion.

What if the reason you feel alone on your spiritual path is simply because you forgot who's been walking alongside you the entire time? In this episode, Will & Karen sit down with Marty Rawson, founder of Spirit Alliance, author, multidimensional healer, and certified practitioner of everything from EMF Balancing to Melek-level light work. Marty brings a grounded, no-nonsense approach to the big questions, and his answers have a way of making the mystical feel surprisingly practical.Before the interview, Will opens with a personal reflection pulled from The Living Gita, wrestling with one of the hardest spiritual practices in a divided world: looking at the person across the aisle and genuinely seeing yourself. It's a moment of rare honesty that sets the tone for everything that follows.Then Marty takes over, and the conversation goes deep fast.Here's a taste of what you'll hear:Why Earth was turned into what Marty calls "the emotional university of the universe," and what that means for why you're here right nowThe real reason most people can't connect with their angels and guides (and it's not what you'd expect)How spirit communicates differently with every person, and the one subtle sign almost everyone is already receiving without realizing itWhy Karen's "doubt" and Will's "fear" might actually be the same thing, just wearing different clothesMarty's own turning point. a divine intervention that changed everything. and what he felt in the presence of beings of pure love and lightThe surprisingly simple first step to opening your third eye that has nothing to do with meditationHow one person, starting from exactly where they are, can actually change the worldMarty also talks about his book, It Doesn't Have to Be This Way: A Spirit Alliance, available on Amazon worldwide, packed with techniques for working with energy, understanding universal laws, and beginning to experience multidimensionality for yourself.If you've been wondering whether that connection to something greater is real, or whether it's meant for someone else and not you, this episode was made for you.Enjoyed this episode?

Let us know what you think about the podcast!Episode 212: When Your Adult Child's Spouse is Controlling, Critical, or Cold - This is What's Actually HappeningAnxiety doesn't always look like worry and stress. In families, it will often look like controlling, critical, or cold behavior. If you've been following this series, you've heard me talk about anxiety moving through the family system — rippling outward, affecting everyone it touches. But a lot of you have written to tell me the same thing: the person you're dealing with doesn't look anxious. They look difficult. They look controlling. They look like they're just choosing to make things hard. This episode is the answer to that question. Before we go any further in this series, I want to give you the framework that everything else is built on — because once you understand what anxiety actually looks like in a family system, the behavior that's been confusing you will start to make a different kind of sense. Not excused. Not ignored. Just understood. And that changes how you respond.5 things you'll learn in this episodeWhy "anxiety" in a family system rarely looks like worry or nervousness — and what it actually looks like in the real behaviors you're experiencing every dayThe difference between acute and chronic anxiety, and why chronic anxiety creates a tension that never quite goes away — even when nothing dramatic is happeningThe three channels anxiety travels through in a family system — and how to recognize which ones are operating in your family right nowThe five most common disguises anxiety wears in a difficult spouse: control, hypersensitivity, withdrawal, reassurance-seeking, and criticism — and the nervous system logic behind each oneWhat the "identified patient" concept means, and how shifting from "who is causing this?" to "how do I change my part in this?" is the move that makes everything else possibleDo you now another parent who's been trying to make sense of a family situation that just doesn't add up? Send them this episode. Sometimes the right framework is all it takes to go from absorbing the confusion to finally seeing the pattern — and that clarity is worth sharing.
