Outsmarting Cancer: Risk Reduction and the Power of Prevention (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2026) reframes one of the most pressing medical challenges of our time: how to prevent cancer. In this timely and accessible book, physician and medical researcher Adam Barsouk, MD, presents a sweeping examination of cancer's true origins-biological, environmental, dietary, infectious, industrial, occupational, and behavioral-and makes a compelling case for why cancer prevention must become a central priority in public and personal health. With personal stories from his clinical practice and the latest research, Dr. Barsouk explains why more people are getting diagnosed with cancer-and at younger ages-than ever before. This book explores a wide range of overlooked and misunderstood risk factors, as well as how inequities in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention disproportionately impact underserved populations. Unlike typical cancer books that focus narrowly on diet or organ-specific disease, Outsmarting Cancer takes a comprehensive, systems-level view, urging readers to look beyond the symptoms and target the root causes. Dr. Barsouk explores the role of genetic predisposition to cancer alongside environmental, lifestyle, and public policy influences that may contribute to developing the disease. With rigorous scientific insight, he offers real-world, evidence-based strategies to reduce cancer risk in practical, meaningful ways. Honest, urgent, and empowering, Outsmarting Cancer challenges readers to rethink how we talk about cancer and how we can reduce its burden before it begins. Learn more about your ad choices.

#357: Recho Omondi launched The Cutting Room Floor as "Fashion's Only Fashion Show" back in 2018, when nobody understood why a fashion podcast should exist. Now she's just closed a multi-year partnership with Patreon, the platform she's been exclusively building her community with since 2021. This week we trace it all: the art school pivot from pre-med, the accidental embroidery business that out-earned her fashion label, and the meeting where she walked into Patreon's C-suite and pitched them a deal nobody had ever been offered before. We also get into the parts nobody wants to admit out loud: what it actually feels like when your biggest win gets met with silence, and why the algorithm might be doing more damage to how we see each other than many of us are willing to admit.This episode is for you if...You're building something slow and unsexy that nobody's clapping for yet, but you know it's workingYou've ever had a huge win met with silence from someone who was supposed to be happy for youYou want a reframe on jealousy that isn't just "ignore it and move on"You're curious what it actually takes to build a paid community from scratch, no borrowed audience, no shortcutsYou need permission to trust your gut over everyone else's opinionEpisode Links:Subscribe to The Cutting Room Floor on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/thecuttingroomfloorFollow The Cutting Room Floor on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecuttingroomfloor/Follow Recho on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omondi/Follow The Cutting Room Floor on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tcrfffSponsors:Nuuly: Visit use code LUCKY at https://www.nuuly.com to get $28 off your first month.Square: Get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at https://www.square.com/go/luckySuperpower: Visit https://www.superpower.com and use code LUCKY for $20 off your $199 Superpower membership.Shopify: Start your free trial at https://www.shopify.com/luckyConnect with Les:Ready to apply what you hear?

What does it take to build a global mobility company from a country of just 1.3 million people?

Logan Bird is the President and CEO of Mephisto, a France-based premium footwear brand known for handcrafted comfort shoes. Previously, he served as Mephisto's Vice President of Omnichannel Sales, where he helped advance the brand's digital, retail, wholesale, and DTC strategies. With experience in e-commerce, strategic partnerships, and omnichannel growth, Logan held senior roles at Lands' End and Zappos. In this episode… Scaling a brand can feel like a paradox: the faster you grow, the easier it becomes to lose the craftsmanship, culture, and customer trust that made the business work in the first place. In a market obsessed with speed, automation, and shortcuts, how can leaders grow without becoming generic? Logan Bird's answer is to build around product-market fit, craftsmanship, and people who can execute with focus. As an e-commerce and omnichannel growth leader, he maintains that durable growth starts with knowing your customer, protecting product quality, and creating consistent brand experiences across channels. Leaders should replace manual processes before they break, trust teams enough to let them learn through execution, listen for patterns in customer feedback rather than reacting to the loudest complaint, and hire through trusted networks to find people aligned with the company's vision. The result is a business that scales with stronger systems, clearer priorities, and a deeper connection to its customers. In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris chats with Logan Bird, President and CEO of Mephisto, about scaling premium brands without losing craftsmanship. Logan discusses product-market fit, omnichannel growth across retail and DTC, and leadership lessons from Japan and Zappos.
Hour 2 of the Monday, May 18, 2026, broadcast of The Tara Show tackles explosive battles over political maps, rapidly evolving technology, and local state leadership. The hour opens by exposing what host Tara Servatius calls a desperate Democratic propaganda campaign, dismantling their efforts to label conservative congressional redistricting maps as "Jim Crow 2.0." Shifting from national politics to a chilling look at tech, the show warns that artificial intelligence is now writing its own AI code, achieving a dangerous state of recursive self-improvement that outpaces human comprehension and places machines in a position to be smarter than us. Tara then narrows the lens to analyze how AI is actively disrupting local industries, drawing a sharp, cautionary parallel to the United Kingdom, where she argues left-wing political policies are accelerating corporate destruction through reckless automated transition. Finally, the hour transitions back to critical South Carolina news, breaking down Governor Henry McMaster's key appointment of Dr. Brennan Traxler as the state's new Health Director, analyzing what her leadership will mean for the future of local healthcare freedom and state regulation.

Welcome to Science Quest!
Cancer has overtaken heart disease as the leading cause of death in many developed countries and US states, and is the leading cause of healthcare expenditure worldwide. That's the bad news. The good news is that half of all cancer deaths could be preventable through lifestyle changes and social reforms.Outsmarting Cancer reframes one of the most pressing medical challenges of our time: how to prevent cancer. Dr. Barsouk presents a sweeping examination of cancer's true origins—biological, environmental, dietary, infectious, industrial, occupational, and behavioral—and makes a compelling case for why cancer prevention must become a central priority in public and personal health. His book explores a wide range of overlooked and misunderstood risk factors, as well as how inequities in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention disproportionately impact underserved populations.

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
The Midrash tells that each day, King David would have plans for the day, intending to go to various places and to see different people, but his legs always brought him to the Bet Midrash to learn Torah. The Or Ha'haim (Rav Haim Ben-Attar, 1696-1743) understood the Midrash's comment literally, that King David's legs had "a mind of their own," so-to-speak, and would bring David to the study hall despite his plans to go elsewhere. David had such a strong, deep-seated desire to learn Torah that his legs automatically took him to the Bet Midrash, even when he did not plan to go there. The Or Ha'haim explains on this basis the Torah's promise of great reward "Im Be'hukotai Telechu" – "If you walk according to My statutes" (Vayikra 26:3). This means that we are worthy of great reward if we feel such love and passion for Torah that we walk "Be'hukotai" – toward the Torah's laws, to learn, even when we do not intend to, because our legs automatically bring us to the study hall. Hacham Baruch Ben-Haim, however, offered a different explanation of the Midrash's comment. He said that each morning, the Yeser Ha'ra (evil inclination) would try to convince David to stay in bed, and David fought the Yeser Ha'ra by saying that he needed to get up to tend to his personal affairs. The Yeser Ha'ra has no problem with us getting up for mundane purposes, and so it left David alone and discontinued its efforts to persuade David to remain in bed. Once David got out of bed without having to struggle against the Yeser Ha'ra, he then went to the Bet Midrash to learn Torah instead of tending to his personal affairs. This was David's strategy for defeating the Yeser Ha'ra in the morning and overcoming the difficult challenge of getting up early to serve Hashem. This reading of the Midrash perhaps sheds light on a difficult verse in Shir Hashirim (4:16): "Uri Safon U'bo'i Teman" – "Arise in the north, and come to the south." The north is associated with material blessings, as the Shulhan (table) in the Mishkan – which symbolized Parnasa (livelihood) – was positioned to the north side. The south is associated with Torah wisdom, as the Menorah – the symbol of the "light" of Torah – was situated along the southern wall of the Mishkan. For this reason, the Gemara teaches that one who seeks wealth should turn somewhat to the north while praying, whereas one who seeks Torah wisdom should turn somewhat to the south. Accordingly, the verse in Shir Hashirim may be understood to mean that we should tell the Yeser Ha'ra in the morning that "Uri Safon" – we are waking up for the sake of pursuing wealth, to work and make a respectable livelihood, as the Yeser Ha'ra will then cease his efforts to convince us to stay in bed. But thereafter, "Bo'i Teman" – we should go "south," to the synagogue and study hall to pray and immerse ourselves in Torah study.

The Faith Factor: A look at her evolved relationship with her upbringing and how she processed the "twisted prophecy" used against her.

In this episode of the Federal Help Center Podcast, Ryan Atencio breaks down one of the most important moves in federal contracting: identifying the incumbent and controlling the recompete strategy before the bid even drops. By uncovering that the current contract holder (T3I) is now considered a large business, Ryan explains how small businesses can leverage sources sought responses to push an opportunity back into a service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-aside, forcing the incumbent to compete through a joint venture instead of dominating solo. The episode goes even deeper into contract intelligence, showing how to analyze a $13.8M ceiling contract and realistically project it into a $16M+ recompete due to inflation. Eric demonstrates how tools like USA Spending and AI can help contractors reverse engineer pricing, estimate hourly fully burdened rates ($115–$135/hr), and strategically undercut profit margins to "snipe" the contract away. This is a masterclass in modern capture, pricing strategy, and small business positioning in high-stakes Special Operations contracting. Key Takeaways: Recompetes are won early by identifying the incumbent and shaping the set-aside strategy through sources sought A $13.8M contract today can quickly become a $16M+ opportunity when inflation and option years are factored in AI + USA Spending data allows contractors to reverse engineer pricing and compete smarter, not cheaper If you want to learn more about the community and to join the webinars go to: https://federalhelpcenter.com/ Website: https://govcongiants.org/ Connect with Encore Funding: http://govcongiants.org/funding

We're getting ready to turn back our clocks this weekend, and for some people, the shorter days can spark mental health challenges. In this episode, host Paula Felps sits down with Dr. Hannah Nearney, a clinical psychiatrist and medical director at Flow Neuroscience, about the mental health challenges that arise during seasonal changes — particularly the onset of winter. Dr. Hannah explains how shorter days and reduced sunlight can disrupt circadian rhythms and neurotransmitter balance, then discusses the importance of proactive strategies like light therapy and changes in lifestyle to better manage symptoms.

Your brain isn't as rational as you think, and that blind spot can wreck your decision-making, relationships, and even your health. In this episode, you'll learn how to spot the hidden cognitive traps that even the smartest people fall for, and how to upgrade your thinking so you can perform better, live longer, and make choices that actually serve you. Watch the condensed video highlight version of this episode (and much more!) on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Steven Pinker, a world-renowned cognitive psychologist, Harvard professor, and bestselling author whose research reshaped how we understand language, bias, social norms, and rationality. Pinker's decades of scholarship make him a trusted guide to the mechanics of the mind and the behaviors that either elevate or derail human performance and longevity. Together they break down how the brain actually reasons, why smart people still fall for tribal thinking, what current AI gets wrong about human intelligence, and how “common knowledge” quietly governs cooperation, law, and civility. This is a masterclass in brain optimization through better thinking, built for people who care about biohacking, hacking mental models, neuroplasticity, and high-performance decision-making. You'll learn: • How to recognize and counter the “my-side bias,” even if you're highly intelligent • Why common knowledge creates and sustains social norms and coordination • The art of indirect speech and tact, and how to calibrate your words to reduce social risk • Simple upgrades that make video calls feel closer to real eye contact and why that boosts trust • What today's AI gets wrong about minds and why models hallucinate • Rational habits that work in the real world: steelmanning, probabilistic thinking, adversarial collaboration, and making bets as a tax on bad arguments • Why liberal democracy fits human nature better than autocracy and how norms erode or hold • How to rebuild face-to-face social skills in a screen-first culture to improve resilience and performance This is essential listening for fans of biohacking, brain optimization, human performance, neuroplasticity, and longevity who want clear, usable frameworks to think better and live better with Dave Asprey. Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind.
