In this episode, we dive deep with James (Jared) Maynard—a physiotherapist, strength coach, and competitive powerlifter—who not long ago faced a life-threatening health crisis. What began as a simple head cold spiraled quickly into organ failure, a rare autoimmune condition called HLH, and five weeks on life support. James takes us through the harrowing journey of fighting for his life, grappling with the loss of his physical strength, and rebuilding himself from the ground up—both physically and mentally. Through candid conversations, he and Chris explore the daunting challenges of identity shifts, the importance of resilience, and the power of community support during times of crisis. James also opens up about how this experience reshaped his values, his priorities, and his approach to coaching others through their darkest moments. Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or someone facing a difficult path, this episode is a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the transformative potential of strength—inside and out. Join us as we explore what it truly means to be resilient, and how, sometimes, losing everything can lead to a life of even greater purpose. Key Takeaways: Resilience Is Built Before It's Needed: Jared credits years of training for literally saving his life—his physical and mental strength gave him a fighting chance. Cultivating strength, he says, is the best kind of life insurance. Redefining Identity: When everything you've built is stripped away, you're forced to confront the core of who you are. Jared opens up about the grief of losing his physical capabilities and the deep self-reflection it prompted. He urges us all to diversify our identities beyond just what we do. The Game of Inches: Recovery started not with personal records, but with celebrating the tiniest steps—holding a phone, standing for 30 seconds, building back from two-and-a-half pound plates. The real battle is finding the discipline and optimism to keep going when the wins feel minuscule. The Power of Support: Sometimes, being tough isn't about “doing it all.” Jared shares how leaning on his family, mentors, and broader community was critical—not just physically, but emotionally. Saying Yes to What Matters: Jared's brush with mortality is a powerful reminder to focus on what truly matters—his family, his mission, and savoring the small moments.

In this special Two and a Half Gamers episode, Matej and Felix sit down with Zino Rost van Tonningen (TyrAds) to deep dive into the history, present, and future of rewarded monetization & offerwalls.Key insights:History of rewarded ads:Early “incent installs” → rank-boosting campaigns (TapJoy, FreeMyApps).Multi-reward systems (TapJoy, IronSource, Fyber).Misplay breakthrough: timer-based playtime rewards + personalization.AdJoe & others scaled Misplay's model into SDK solutions.The shift to personalization:Old offerwalls = one-size-fits-all.New generation = hyper-personalized rewards per user.Use of media source data (Google, Unity, AppLovin, etc.) to adapt rewards based on traffic quality.Publisher perspective:Offerwalls can contribute 5–30% of game revenue depending on genre.Biggest impact: retaining non-payers & dolphins by giving them an alternative to IAP.Integration fights today echo old mediation wars (bonuses, rev guarantees, exclusivity deals).Best practices for choosing an offerwall partner:LiveOps environment — events, hot deals, timed offers.Transparency — explain revenue spikes/drops & media source impact.Personalization — reward scaling, segmentation by user type & UA source.UI/UX — aesthetics matter; no more “Windows 95” offerwalls.Zino's TyrAds SDK v3.0:One-time integration, no updates needed.Customizable design to match game branding.Hyper-personalized rewards, dynamic leveling systems.LiveOps events triggered per user (push, in-app messages).Takeaway: Rewarded monetization has entered its 4th generation: hyper-personalized, data-driven, and LiveOps-powered.https://tyrads.com/Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

How can leaders achieve peak productivity without sacrificing fulfilment and well-being? In this in-depth interview, leadership expert Niels Brabandt speaks with entrepreneur, mountaineer, and leadership coach Saahil Mehta about redefining success, building resilience, and leading with clarity.

Why defining your personal “Seven Summits” creates better decision-making clarity. The importance of distinguishing between “crystal balls” and “rubber balls” in leadership priorities.

For executives, entrepreneurs, and business decision makers, this episode provides actionable strategies to lead effectively in both professional and personal spheres.

Special Guest Kyle Mealy https://www.readyforthenextlevel.com/revenue-cascade If you've ever wondered why your business feels stuck — despite working hard on your marketing or your sales — this episode is for you. This week, I sat down with Kyle Andrews, CEO and Founder of Next Level Revenue and author of The Next Level Revenue Formula. Kyle has a fascinating journey from lab manager, to karate school owner, to leading a multimillion-dollar marketing and sales company. What ties it all together? His obsession with process, data, and creating predictable results. Here are my key takeaways from our conversation: Marketing and sales aren't two separate departments — together, they form the “revenue zipper” that keeps growth predictable and profits flowing. Optimization is everything. Kyle learned early on that when you tweak the right part of a process, you unlock exponential results. Revenue growth is math, not magic. With the right system, you can literally predict your results. Many entrepreneurs focus on topline numbers but forget profitability — the real goal is profitable revenue. Podcasting, when integrated into a larger ecosystem, isn't just about visibility. It's a powerful sales strategy to build trust and move prospects closer to working with you. Stop relying on outdated metrics like “7 touches” — today, buyers may need 30+ interactions before they're ready to buy. Kyle's approach: “Seven times, seven ways.” In this episode, Kyle shares the exact frameworks he's created to help businesses remove the silos between sales and marketing, measure ROI with clarity, and build systems that don't just generate leads but actually convert them. His story proves that when you bring curiosity, creativity, and a little “MacGyver” thinking to business growth, the results are revolutionary. If you're ready to stop treating sales and marketing as separate worlds and finally align your business around predictable, profitable revenue — this conversation will change the way you think. https://www.readyforthenextlevel.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-mealy/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/next-level-revenue Your Six-Figure Podcast Blueprint https://podcastprofitsunleashed.com/free

The Fat-Burning Man Show by Abel James: The Future of Health & Performance
You've probably heard the buzz around the mythical and sketchy-sounding synthetic compound known as methylene blue.How is it that methylene blue went from a 19th-century textile dye to a futuristic, cutting-edge mitochondrial-enhancing compound that turns your tongue blue?After surviving freak bouts of carbon monoxide poisoning, black mold exposure and chronic lyme disease, methylene blue earned its spot in my bag of tricks many moons ago. Should it be in yours?With mitochondrial dysfunction affecting a whopping 94% of adults in the U.S., I'd say it's worth a look.We're here with one of the foremost experts and thought leaders integrating intriguing compounds like methylene blue into their practice, Dr. Scott Sherr.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, we dive into the vital intersection of nutrition, trauma, and mental health with Dr. Bhargav Patel—psychiatrist, trauma researcher at Brown University, AI strategist, and CEO of Mypeak. Dr. Patel unpacks the often-overlooked link between food and mood, explains how trauma impacts the body and brain, and shares a 4-step framework to transform pain into growth. From Ayurvedic wisdom to cutting-edge AI tools in psychiatry, this conversation is packed with insights for anyone seeking deeper healing and sustained resilience. About the Guest:Dr. Bhargav Patel is a multifaceted leader shaping the future of mental health. He serves as a psychiatrist and trauma researcher at Brown University, leads Mypeak—an award-winning health optimization company—and is a clinical AI strategist. He blends ancient wisdom with modern science to advance trauma recovery, nutritional psychiatry, and tech-enabled mental wellness. His upcoming book The Trauma Transformed explores healing and post-traumatic growth. Key Takeaways: The connection between nutrition and mental health dates back to Ayurveda and is now resurfacing in modern psychiatry. Trauma and PTSD are distinct; only a small percentage of trauma cases develop into PTSD. Healing requires processing trauma, activating brain plasticity, creating overriding experiences, and finding meaning. AI can augment, not replace, mental health care—enhancing access while maintaining ethical guardrails. Peak performance should follow healing, not bypass it. Optimization and deep recovery can coexist on a spectrum. Nature, stillness, and personalized nutrition are future pillars of holistic leadership and mental health.

Health care wastes money right and left on purchases, and needs efficiency more than ever, according to Dave Pennino, Founder and CEO at LogicSource. His company optimizes client spending on the 20-25% of revenue spent on indirect purchases or "goods not for resale" (purchase services in health care). This is why LogicSource has made healthcare such an important focus of their business.Pennino lists a few of the myriad products and services where LogicSource can cust costs, most of which apply to health care: facilities, design and construction, media, logistics, waste management, software, and even obscure topics such as elevator maintenance. One health care executive compared his field to wedding planners: everything costs more than it would in other industries.Learn more about LogicSource: https://logicsource.com/healthcare/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Why does time feel so slippery, especially for creative pros? In this episode, we explore the phenomenon of “time anxiety”—that restless sense that we're running out of time or not spending our hours on what really matters. We're joined by Chris Guillebeau, author of the book Time Anxiety, who brings a fresh lens to how we experience time, how our anxieties about it span past, present, and future—and why productivity hacks alone will never be enough.We dig into the difference between optimizing and aligning our time, the dangers of chasing phantom deadlines, and why so much of our stress comes not from the clock itself but from unresolved tensions and borrowed definitions of success. Together, we share practical tactics to help you shift from a reactive, urgent default to a more intentional, aligned creative life.If you've caught yourself sprinting but never arriving, or if you've ever felt that low-grade hum of anxiety about how you're spending your days—this conversation is for you.Five Key Learnings:Time anxiety spans the past, present, and future. It's not just about feeling overwhelmed day-to-day—it's also about lingering regrets, future uncertainties, and the ever-present sense of the clock ticking down.Optimization isn't the solution—alignment is. You can't “efficiency” your way out of anxiety. The real answer? Align your time with your values, priorities, and the impact you want to have.Phantom deadlines and borrowed benchmarks create false pressure. Much of our anxiety comes from arbitrary timelines based on outliers or cultural expectations. True progress comes from setting your own standards and constraints.Not everything urgent is important. Creative work demands space for what matters. Protecting time for meaningful—and even non-urgent—work is essential to breaking the cycle of anxiety.Self-awareness is the starting point. Pay close attention to how you spend your time and how it makes you feel. Notice unresolved tensions, distinguish between energizing and draining activities, and let those insights guide your daily choices.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

The Apollo Program achieved humanity's most significant technological leap through "orchestrated autonomy"—a hidden methodology for ecosystem velocity and optimization that modern government partnerships miss. Breakthrough insight? True innovation requires autonomous components working independently first, then strategic orchestration second. Lieutenant Colonel Russ Matijevich reveals why the government seeks integration before independence, thereby stifling the innovation it demands. Ecosystems thrive when stakeholders maintain autonomous excellence, then leaders orchestrate a strategic combination of diverse outputs—not when consensus-seeking destroys individual contribution. Paradigm Shifts:→ The Independence Paradox: Innovation ecosystems thrive when stakeholders are NOT dependent on each other but are rather aligned in mutual interest—Apollo succeeded through autonomous excellence vs consensus→ The Collective Intelligence Inversion: True "wisdom of crowds" is elevated with independent inputs; collaboration before individual contribution can collapse intelligence into groupthink→ The Commercial Viability Paradox: Government seeks technologies that don't depend on government funding—companies with independent commercial success become more attractive procurement targets→ The Efficiency Paradox: More budget creates less innovation—Apollo achieved the impossible on balanced budgets, while today's 6-7% GDP deficits yield diminishing returnsThe Innovation: Innovation ecosystems thrive through structural independence aligned by missions that matter—companies that aren't dependent on government contracts paradoxically become more attractive government buyers.Strategic Reframe: Shift from "How do we align interests?" to: "How do we orchestrate autonomous excellence for breakthrough innovation?"#EcosystemicFutures #InnovationParadox #StrategicTensionGuest: Russ Matijevich, Owner & CEO, Matijevich International Consulting | Retired USAF Lt.

Turn Underused Classrooms, Time Blocks, and Facilities Into Predictable Profit With Systems That LastThis episode kicks off Chanie Wilschanski's Six Money Leaks series, diving deep into the first profit drain most school leaders overlook: space optimization.Your school building's square footage is either making money or silently draining it. If your classrooms feel full but your budget is still tight, you may be missing out on hundreds, sometimes thousands, in unrealized revenue.Chanie shares real client stories where underutilized classrooms, missed extended care opportunities, and unused rooms were costing schools between $96,000 and $130,000 a year. More importantly, she breaks down the systems and rhythms that turn those gaps into sustainable income, without overloading teachers or sacrificing your school culture.Whether you lead an early childhood center or a private school, this conversation will help you stop making emotional space decisions and start using operational systems to create predictable, sustainable growth.What You'll LearnWhat space optimization really is, and what it's notHow to uncover hidden enrollment gaps that quietly drain revenueExtended care strategies that boost profit without exhausting your teamHow room licensing and usage flexibility can add thousands in monthly revenueUsing external rentals strategically without adding operational chaosThe systems and rhythms that keep your space working for you year after yearKey InsightsFeeling Full Isn't the Same as Being FullA school reporting 85% capacity was actually at 72%, a $96,000 annual revenue leak. Real data, not perception, should drive your enrollment strategy.Protecting Staff by Avoiding Enrollment Hurts EveryoneLimiting enrollment to “make it easier” on teachers reduces resources, which ultimately impacts their long-term stability.Extended Care and Tiered Pricing Unlock Prime Revenue BlocksCharging for early or late care, with systems to test and staff them, can turn unused time into high-value revenue.Room Licensing Flexibility Creates OpportunitiesRe-zoning or re-licensing underused rooms can meet demand and significantly increase monthly income.External Rentals Work When StructuredRenting space for community events or seasonal programs can be profitable if built into your operational rhythm, not as a one-off scramble.Try This Instead: The Space Optimization SystemsRoom-by-Room Enrollment Audit: Track licensed capacity vs. actual enrollment by room.Extended Care Revenue System: Run quarterly audits of arrival/departure patterns and pilot premium care offerings.Licensing Flexibility Process: Regularly review demand vs. licensing and pursue rezoning where profitable.External Rental Structure: Decide if rentals should be seasonal or ongoing, and set clear policies for use.Memorable Quotes“Every square foot in your building is either generating profit or stealing profit from you.”“Protecting staff by avoiding full enrollment is not protection—it's a slow drain on your entire school.”“Feeling full is not the same as being full. Data, not perception, should drive your space strategy.”Why It Matters for School LeadersStops revenue leaks caused by underutilized spaceBuilds operational systems that increase profit without overburdening staffProtects your school culture by aligning resources with sustainable growthCreates capacity to invest in your team, programming, and long-term stabilityResources & Next StepsRun a room-by-room enrollment audit to see where you're losing...

In this episode, host Chris Duffin sits down with guest Anthony Castor for a deep dive into the world of recovery, healing, and performance optimization—specifically through the lens of peptides and beyond. Building on their recent conversation, Chris reveals his unique framework for developing cutting-edge recovery protocols, which combines four essential pillars: cellular, neurological, biomechanical, and hydrodynamic approaches. Together, they unpack how these modalities—ranging from peptide therapies and blood flow restriction to innovative equipment design and red light therapy—can be strategically layered for maximum results without redundancy. Listen in as Chris and Anthony share game-changing insights, remarkable case studies, and a behind-the-scenes look at the thought process that underpins some of today's most advanced healing methods. Here are my top 3 takeaways: Four “Unlocks” to Human Physiology: Chris's model addresses cellular, neurological, biomechanical, and hydrodynamic (fluid/nutrient movement) factors—stacking recovery and training modalities for maximum results. Synergy > Redundancy: Instead of relying on a single method (like just peptides or just BFR), Chris stresses building protocols that combine different tools—shockwave, red light therapy, blood flow restriction, etc.—to trigger adaptation through multiple pathways for accelerated and more sustainable healing. Framework Over Fads: The most effective coaches and protocols don't just copy what works for others. They adapt and personalize, choosing the right tools based on goals, willingness, and lifestyle—always learning from diverse experts and continuously building the right system for the individual.

Chris Duffin is joined by Anthony Castor for an in-depth exploration of peptides and their role in optimizing health, training, and recovery. Together, they break down the complexities of building peptide protocols—discussing how to identify bottlenecks in your own training or wellness, the art and science of combining interventions effectively (without overcomplicating or wasting resources), and why understanding cellular pathways and mechanisms of action matters. Whether you're curious about cellular medicine, looking to fine-tune your supplement stack, or just want sharper tools in your resilience toolbox, this episode offers practical, actionable wisdom to help you get the most out of your health and performance strategies—without unnecessary complexity. Let's get started! Here are my top three takeaways from the episode: Precision Beats Overload: When it comes to peptides (and training), more isn't always better. Identify your “bottlenecks” and use the least amount of intervention necessary. Streamline your approach and only deploy peptides with mechanisms that authentically support your goals. Understand the Mechanisms: Before layering in another supplement or peptide, take the time to map out which cellular pathways you want to target—and avoid overlap or counterproductive combinations. Knowing howsomething works is crucial to making smart choices (the “why” matters, not just the “what”). Continuous Assessment is Key: Monitor progress with clear performance indicators—whether that's lab work, improved cognition, or how you feel. Be ready to adjust your protocol, rotate interventions, and remove what you no longer need.
