This week, Mike and Emily dive into the recent positive performance of The Trade Desk, questioning if the earlier concerns about the ad tech market were overblown, and then shift gears to discuss the evolving landscape of search with the rise of sophisticated AI prompting and its implications for information access and optimization.

As a mom navigating the complex journey of motherhood, I'm passionate about breaking the silence around mental health. In this episode of the Momplex Podcast, I share my personal struggles with burnout, postpartum depression, and the importance of self-care. I discuss how our mental health isn't just about us, but about the example we set for our children. Drawing from my own experiences, I highlight the critical signs of maternal burnout and the need to listen to our body's signals. I encourage moms to check in with themselves, seek support, and understand that asking for help isn't a weakness—it's strength. With one in five teens facing mental health challenges, I believe we must model emotional resilience and self-compassion. By sharing our stories openly, we can normalize mental health conversations and create a supportive environment for ourselves and our children. This episode is a raw, honest call to prioritize our mental well-being.

 This is probably the conversation I had in mind when I decided to start this podcast. Samy Kamkar is an old buddy of mine, a genius hacker. When you guys hear me praising the minds of hackers and how brilliant they can be and how they think, Samy is the example in my mind that I'm thinking of, and I always love to share him. Samy's famous for having written a computer virus that he was using to meet girls on the internet, which is probably ill-advised. The virus he wrote took over MySpace. It was incredibly genius! What would happen is: if you looked at Samy's page on MySpace, it would just automatically add you as his friend. MySpace is long gone, but you could imagine what that would be like on Facebook or Instagram or Snapchat nowadays. So, within 24 hour period, Samy had over a million friends on his MySpace profile, because the code not only would add you as his friend, it would copy itself to your page so that whenever anybody looked at your page, it would automatically add them as Samy's friend too, and then do one other benign thing, which would change your profile page to list Samy as your HERO! Samy is my hero. I love him so much. He's done a lot of amazing, beautiful work and computer hacking. He has a YouTube channel that we'll talk about on here, but you should definitely go watch his videos. I'm not going to interview Samy. that has been done and you should listen to the Tim Ferriss interview of Samy. I think of this conversation is something you could listen to with or without having heard that, but if you want to know more about Samy and his background and all the stories, then you can go listen to Tim Ferris interviewing him. This however is a conversation between friends, it is very soulful. There's a lot in here that I'm looking forward to sharing with you guys. Also, Samy is a co-founder of a couple of company that have been very successful and he sold his most recent company called Open Path to Motorola. This is not an ad, I'm just telling you because I'm impressed with what Samy built: Open Path is a physical door access control system that's way better than those cards you used to have to use to get into your office. Now you can just do it with your phone and walk right in. Samy has helped build that product and the company is doing very well. And I think you should all become, customers. Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you Samy, at one point decided he wanted to become a DJ and learn how to make music. And he's the one who created the track that we use for the podcast intro that you're going to hear next. Please listen to this conversation with me and Samy. I'm sure you're going to get a lot out of it. Important Links: Samy is my Hero Samy on Wikipedia Samy's Website Samy on YouTube Tim Ferriss Podcast with Samy About Samy Kamkar Samy Kamkar is an American privacy and security researcher, computer hacker and entrepreneur. At the age of 16, he dropped out of high school.[One year later, he co-founded Fonality, a unified communications company based on open-source software, which raised over $46 million in private funding. In 2005, he created and released the fastest spreading virus of all time, the MySpace worm Samy, and was subsequently raided by the United States Secret Service under the Patriot Act. He also created SkyJack, a custom drone which hacks into any nearby Parrot drones allowing them to be controlled by its operator and created the Evercookie, which appeared in a top-secret NSA document revealed by Edward Snowden and on the front page of The New York Times. He has also worked with The Wall Street Journal, and discovered the illicit mobile phone tracking where the Apple iPhone, Google Android and Microsoft Windows Phone mobile devices transmit GPS and Wi-Fi information to their parent companies. His mobile research led to a series of class-action lawsuits against the companies and a privacy hearing on Capitol Hill.

We react to everything we saw last night in Bengals-Ravens. Joe Burrow's injury, Mark Andrews injury and we wonder if it is all adding up to a path clearing for the Steelers to win this division. Is that on the table now? 

Has your road to private practice been rocky? Do you struggle with settling into your niche because you feel like you have to be applicable to every person? Do you feel that you need to add more specialities to be more complementary?  There are so many different types of niches, and so many people that are looking for help. You may feel like you have to see them all and maybe you want to help them all, but being a one-size-fits-all therapist might leave you feeling burned out and clients not sure if you truly understand their needs.  Don't be afraid to niche down, and be clear on who you serve and what you serve them with. This can make you a more attractive therapist, because it shows clients that you see them, and that you know how to help.  In this podcast episode, Christine and I discuss her entry into Canadian private practice, as well as the importance of niching down - and sticking to it. Her advice is this; don't try to be good at everything! Listen in to find out more.  MEET CHRISTINE Christine Olsen is a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist from Thunder Bay, ON. Christine specializes in therapy for men and anger management. She provides online therapy for those in the province of Ontario. Learn more about Christine on her website, Open Path and Psychology Today profile.  In this episode:  Why Christine decided to become a Social Worker Getting into private practice Christine's niche of working with men in therapy Experimenting with effective marketing strategies Doing a four-day work week  Open Path  Christine's advice to listeners  Why Christine decided to become a Social Worker  Christine felt a draw to working with people. In the midst of feeling uncertain about what she wanted to do as a profession, she drew on what she knew her likes and dislikes were, and that guided her to wanting to work with people and become a social worker.  And not only that, but because Christine was an empathetic child, she knew that she wanted to see how the world looks different to each person due to their realities.  Getting into private practice  Initially, Christine only thought that she would start a private practice toward the end of her career. She felt that it needed so much experience to do well, and so she thought that she had to have more years under her belt - even though she already had 10!  However, due to changing circumstances in her life, Christine decided to give it a shot earlier than she had initially anticipated.  Christine couldn't find daycare for her child and her previous job didn't offer her flexibility, so she decided to take the financial hit and jump straight into a private practice instead of scrambling for another job in a difficult work environment. It was tough, but she made it work! Christine's niche of working with men in therapy   It felt natural and easier for her to work with men in therapy. She had experience working with men who experience irritability and anger and enjoyed that work. Outdated societal expectations can make it difficult for male individuals to seek out therapy willingly, and it can cause their struggles or pain to intensify, which can lead to damage and suffering in their relationships.  Experimenting with effective marketing strategies  First and foremost, Christine set up a website for her Canadian private practice. She markets only in Ontario. She uses search engine optimization (SEO) for both Ontario and Thunder Bay, including online therapy, and therapy for men.  Her marketing goal right now is to show up more on Google, so Christine prioritizes her writing, especially since she's done it over the last couple of years, so it does go faster. She writes what flows to her on a day-to-day basis, relating to her niche, and makes it something that she enjoys.  Doing a four-day work week  After her previous years of working experience, Christine knew that she wanted to make a shift in her life. She wanted to structure her work life around her personal life so that they complimented one another, instead of feeling like everything revolved around her working hours.  A four-day work week lets Christine see her clients, take care of her family, and spend time on her hobbies and other things that she wants to pursue outside of her counselling hours.   Open Path  Open Path is a great directory to be part of. It is a not-for-profit organization where you can offer discounted therapy to clients that need it without having to negotiate reduced rates or a sliding scale within your own private practice.  Christine discovered Open Path on Instagram, and offering it as an option to her clients has allowed her to assist those that need help who can't afford her full fee. If you would like to create an Open Path account, use my code! Christine's advice to listeners You won't be for everyone, and that's okay! It's actually good, because it means that you are settled into your niche.  You're not going to be good at everything either, and that's okay. That's why building up a great referral network is beneficial to you and others, because what you may do is what another therapist can't.  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources mentioned and useful links: Ep 98: Why You Shouldn't Start a Private Practice | EP 98 Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS for one month free) Learn more about Christine on her website, Open Path and Psychology Today profile Rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and TuneIn 

"The PATH is one, Disciple, yet in the end, twofold. Marked are its stages by four and seven Portals. At one end — bliss immediate, and at the other — bliss deferred. Both are of merit the reward: the choice is thine. The One becomes the two, the Open and the Secret. The first one leadeth to the goal, the second, to Self-Immolation. "When to the Permanent is sacrificed the Mutable, the prize is thine: the drop returneth whence it came. The Open PATH leads to the changeless change — Nirvana, the glorious state of Absoluteness, the Bliss past human thought. "Thus, the first Path is LIBERATION. But Path the Second is — RENUNCIATION, and therefore called the "Path of Woe." "That Secret Path leads the Arhan to mental woe unspeakable; woe for the living Dead, and helpless pity for the men of Karmic sorrow, the fruit of Karma Sages dare not still." ―The Voice of the Silence Upon entering the heavenly regions of Nirvana or the superior dimensions of nature, two paths open before the initiate: the spiral path of liberation or selfish bliss, or the straight path of sacrifice and renunciation. Learn about the secret, straight path of the bodhisattva: "the essence or incarnation of wisdom / Christ" that leads the practitioner towards the absolute heights of divine attainment, known in the Hebraic Kabbalah as the Ain, Ain Soph, and Ain Soph Aur: the Absolute. This path has been taken by all of humanity's greatest sages, prophets, and luminaries, especially Jesus of Nazareth, who demonstrated with his revolutionary life the way of selfless service and boundless compassion. Through sacrificing oneself for numerous humanities, the bodhisattva of the straight path may be granted entrance into the highest degrees of enlightened experience.

How do counsellors get into the profession? Have you had an idea hanging around your thoughts for the last couple of years about trying something new? Has your mindset held you back from attempting to create some of your new dreams or ambitions?  It takes courage for a person to try something new. But education, finances, family, time and so much more can also get in the way of starting. This means it could be years before beginning to build your dream Canadian private practice.   In this podcast episode, Shannon and I talk about her process of opening up her Canadian private practice piece by piece, day by day, and step by step. Starting a practice doesn't have to feel so far away when you allow yourself to try, and to start small. Join us and be inspired! MEET SHANNON Shannon Smith is a Registered Counselling Therapist (candidate) and a certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor. Her background is mental health nursing; she worked in Halifax's Eating Disorder Program for 15 years. Shannon believes when we lose sight of who we are, several common issues can arise, including anxiety, disordered eating, and negative body image. She works with clients who want to feel more comfortable in their own skin, and more connected to themselves and others. Learn more about Shannon on her website and Instagram page.  In this episode:  Doing an MA during the pandemic  Launching a private practice  Using social media wisely  Doing in-person versus online  Setting rates that align  Shannon's advice for listeners  Doing an MA during the pandemic  In August 2020, Shannon began looking into various masters programs to become a therapist. The program that she ended up choosing had its deadline within that week, so she spent a couple of days rushing to get everything ready to apply to begin that September.  She studied online for most of her degree and completed her practicum in person over the last eight months.  Launching a private practice On March 1st Shannon opened her Canadian private practice, on March 2nd she had her first client, and on March 3rd her second client, and it slowly continued to steadily grow from there on out.  Shannon has noticed that the majority of her clients are coming in through her website, through her previous connections from her years working in the eating disorder field, and also through Instagram.  Using social media wisely  Because so many people use social media daily, it is a great tool for businesses to use to connect with their ideal clients because the digital world has become like another marketplace for sharing and finding information.  However, it can be a taxing environment, both for a person's mental health and energy, and also for counsellors that try to find the right ways to market themselves and their practices ethically.  Doing in-person versus online  Shannon chooses to only do online virtual therapy with her clients.  She works on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. She has young children that she wants to take to and from school, be around for, and also make time for her personal hobbies and routines.  Setting rates that align  Setting rates is a common struggle amongst counselors and workers in the mental health field. One of my podcast episodes goes over how to ethically set and raise rates for new and current clients, and you can get the full information there.  However, consider setting your rates in a way that allows you to be financially taken care of and consider offering Open Path services for clients that require some additional financial assistance or donating to mental health organizations each year.

She is back for Season 4! I Am Speaking's Resident Therapist, Karen Rothstein Pineda, is here to talk some Therapy Basics. We talk about therapist credentialing, some important questions to ask yourself and your therapist, what might be going through a therapist's mind during your first few sessions, and why your therapist might not acknowledge you if you see them at the grocery store. Also, we discuss what NOT to yell at Karen if you see her at the pool this summer.  As always, she is filled with knowledge and illuminating insight. We love all our conversations with Karen, and she once again proves herself to be a vital member of the I Am Speaking team.

This episode is a little nerve-wracking because I am going to recommend NOT DOING certain things in your Canadian private practice, that many counsellors do. If you do any of these things and it works for you, that's cool, no judgment. These are just tips that I've found helpful in my private practice journey in order to get a work-life balance. In This Episode: Don't have a waitlist Do not offer free consultations Do not use a sliding scale   Don't have a waitlist I don't get the point of keeping a waitlist and then contacting somebody 2 months later to let them know that I can see them. This is what I recommend you do: Raise your rates: Do this until you find a sweet spot where you have an opening each week or every couple of weeks. Start a group private practice: Hire another counsellor that does amazing work that you are happy to refer to. Refer your clients out: There are so many amazing therapists out there who you can recommend. In order to be able to do this, you'll have to start networking with other therapists. But if you don't have time to network, you can refer people to a directory like Psychology Today. Do not offer free consultations I would argue that the time you put into free consultations should be focused on other things such as offering more spots for counselling, building your private practice, or working on marketing. This is what I recommend you do: Automate it: Make a video of yourself, explaining who you are, what you do, and how you help. Also, address any other questions that potential clients might have. In this way, when someone asks to meet with you before they start therapy, you can send this video to them along with other information from your website or LinkedIn. Create an intake form that the client can complete before the initial intake session: I use Jane App as my EMR and in there you can create an intake form that is automatically sent to the potential client to be completed before you meet with them. This will help you assess whether they are the right fit for you. Do not use a sliding scale As therapists we want to help people, I get it, but I just don't think that sliding scales should be used. It can put you in a position of having to negotiate a session price for each client. It can undervalue your worth and it can also be harder to raise your rates when your private practice is full. And clients that paid the full fee, may resent not getting a deal.  This is what I recommend you do: Decide on a couple of sessions each month that can be offered as ‘discount sessions': This will depend on how full you are, what your private practice policy for yourself is, and how much time and energy you have in that month. When someone contacts you about a reduced rate or sliding scale, I would recommend joining a free directory such as Open Path where you can offer reduced rate sessions. When you get a request you can just send this link to clients, minimizing the hassle of negotiating back and forth.

Today I'm joined by Shaylyn Forte, a LPC in Philadelphia. Shaylyn's clinical experience includes working with clients who have anxiety, depression, low self esteem, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, substance use disorders, and eating disorders. She has dedicated her practice to helping clients learn how to better manage their anxiety, depression, low self esteem, and feelings related to life transitions.

The Indian culture varies by its vast geography. People speak in different languages, dress differently, follow different religions, eat different food but are of the same temperament. So whether it is a joyous occasion or a moment of grief, people participate wholeheartedly, feeling happiness or pain. A festival or a celebration is never constrained to a family or a home. The whole community or neighborhood is involved in bringing liveliness to an occasion. Likewise, an Indian wedding is a celebration of union, not only of the bride and groom but also of two families, maybe cultures or religion too! Similarly, in times of sorrow, neighbours and friends play an important part in easing out the grief. भारतीय संस्कृति अपने विशाल भूगोल की तरह बदलती रहती है। लोग अलग-अलग भाषा बोलते हैं, अलग-अलग कपड़े पहनते हैं, अलग-अलग धर्मों का पालन करते हैं, अलग-अलग खाना खाते हैं लेकिन एक ही स्वभाव के हैं। तो चाहे खुशी का अवसर हो या दुःख का क्षण, लोग पूरे मन से भाग लेते हैं, सुख या दर्द को महसूस करते हैं। कोई त्यौहार या उत्सव कभी भी किसी परिवार या घर तक सीमित नहीं होता। एक अवसर पर जीवंतता लाने में पूरा समुदाय या पड़ोस शामिल होता है। इसी तरह, एक भारतीय शादी न केवल दूल्हा और दुल्हन के मिलन का उत्सव है, बल्कि दो परिवारों का भी है, शायद संस्कृति या धर्म भी! इसी प्रकार दुःख के समय में पड़ोसी और मित्र दुःख को कम करने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाते हैं। Subscribe to our youtube channel: Sahil Book House Flipkart-: Buy on Flipkart Amazon-: Buy on Amazon Follow us- : facebook, instagram, Pinterest, linkedin Contact us : 761, Main Road Burari, Delhi-110084.

Welcome to Season 3 of WYP! On today's episode, I share my story about how perfectionism has impacted me from childhood until now, how I realized I was a perfectionist and what that turning point looked like, and how I have learned to wreck my own perfectionism one baby step at a time by consistently doing things that scare the living SHIT out of me. Recording this episode included! As always, I want to hear from you on what you're struggling with and in what ways you need support so that I can show up for you in the best way possible. DM me @rachelle.lanae or @wreckyourperfection, or email me at rachelle@wreckyourperfection.com. I'd also love to hear your wins and find out how you're wrecking your perfection! If you want to hear more songs like the one at the end of the episode, you can check out my EP 'Taking Back Me' on Spotify/Apple Music. Some of my favorite resources that have helped me in my perfectionism recovery: Anything by Brene Brown (she has more but these are the ones I've read, some of them multiple times): The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Dare To Lead, and I Thought It Was Just Me. Also her Ted Talk on The Power of Vulnerability. Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way. This one is awesome if you're looking to get more creativity into your life. Mindset by Carol Dweck. Consistently working to change from a fixed mindset into a growth mindset in all areas of life is, I believe, the work that us perfectionists have to do. Perfectionism and fixed mindset go hand-in-hand. Life Coaching. I was introduced to life coaching at a pivotal time a few years back, and it helped me transform in so many areas. I am now addicted to getting coaching because it's brought me to do things I never thought possible. There are tons of amazing life coaches out there, and I encourage you to find one who's a good fit for you. If you want to work with someone who can help you wreck your perfection, I'm also available as a certified professional coach. You can book a free consultation on my website. THERAPY. This is the big one, folks. If you have trauma of any kind, it's never too late to seek out help. As a perfectionist, it honestly took me until this year to even realize that I have anxiety, and that's a big part of how my perfectionism plays out. If therapy is not an option for you due to affordability, Open Path offers discounted rates ($30-60/hr). See you next week! Be well, fail big, and go wreck your perfection. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wreckyourperfection/support

A recent history of hacking shows the importance of experimentation. In 2015, security researchers hacked a Jeep Cherokee and took over its steering, transmission, and brakes. In 2019, researchers accessed medical scanning equipment to alter X-ray images, inserting fraudulent, visual signs of cancer in a hypothetical patient.Today, we're discussing one such experiment—a garage door opener called “Open Sesame.”Join us for a discussion with "Open Sesame"'s developer, who is also the chief security officer and co-founder of Open Path, Samy Kamkar, to hear about how his tool works, and who holds responsibility for protecting against modern attacks.

Proximity is POWER. What you CHOOSE to have around you is ultimately what you become. Choose wisely. In the same way you'd go to a gym or hire a trainer to become more physically healthy, going to therapy can aid in you becoming more emotionally well. Research shows that participation in therapy can improve problem solving, stress management, frustration tolerance, and decision making. People who have gone to therapy report increased relationship satisfaction, the ability to set more realistic goals, and the improvement in the capability to manage strong emotional reactions/feelings.
