In this episode recorded immediately after Trump's record-breaking 108-minute State of the Union address, Chuck Todd argues that while Trump's base will love the "own the libs" moments — from trolling Democrats in the chamber to the raucous "USA" chants from Republicans — the speech was fundamentally a missed opportunity that did nothing to help the GOP heading into the midterms. He contends that Trump chose to be a party leader rather than a president, turning the address into something resembling an award show by packing it with medal presentations, the Olympic men's hockey team, honorees who deserved more dedicated recognition rather than being used as applause props in an already bloated speech. He argues that Trump's tone on the economy couldn't have been worse for Republicans: with his approval at 60% disapproval and the Supreme Court having just struck down his tariffs days earlier, Trump barely addressed voters' core concerns about costs and affordability, instead declaring a "turnaround for the ages" that doesn't match most Americans' lived experience. He notes Trump’s highlighting of Iran's ballistic missiles sounded like a pretext for war that won't play well with parts of his own base. He praises Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger's Democratic response as simple and effective — particularly her pointed questions about whether the president is actually working to make life more affordable — and argues she clearly won over independents. He closes with a bigger-picture observation: that there's a 60% majority coalition available on populist economic issues like protecting the safety net from cuts to fund tax breaks for the wealthy, but that Democrats still have a damaged brand despite Trump's terrible numbers, and that voters who thought they were getting first-term Trump are reckoning with something very different. Then, Paul Auslander, President of SeaBridge Private Wealth, a division of SeaBridge Investment Advisors LLC joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the intersection of money, markets, and the current political moment. Auslander walks through how the political climate now factors directly into financial planning projections, noting that European indices doubled the S&P's performance last year as capital flows shift overseas, and that a growing number of wealthy clients are hedging by moving money out of the United States. He offers candid takes on the issues keeping investors up at night: the inevitability of Social Security cuts (though he argues simply pushing retirement age from 67 to 69 would stabilize the fund), the likely future of Social Security privatization, crypto's evolution from a technological revolution into a special interest that bought its own policy outcomes, and whether there's money to be made off bad Trump policies that are likely to be reversed. Auslander also explains why the bond market is a better barometer of economic health than the stock market, why private equity is sitting on mountains of sidelined capital, and why he remains cautiously bullish on 2026 — largely because AI is only in the "second inning" and massive disruption is still ahead. The conversation also ventures into territory financial planners don't usually discuss publicly. Auslander addresses whether the wealthy are worried the "pitchforks are coming for them," pointing to economic anxiety driving a spike in gun sales and a pop culture landscape that increasingly portrays corporations and the ultra-rich as villains. He breaks down the rise of family offices — private wealth management firms for the ultra-wealthy that take a long-term investment view — and explains why companies increasingly choose to stay private thanks to nearly unlimited private capital, rather than face the scrutiny of public markets. They also dig into the generational divide between investing and gambling, the casino-like nature of prediction markets, and the burden that post-Lehman Brothers insurance and regulatory requirements have placed on small businesses and regional banks that had nothing to do with the 2008 financial crisis. Auslander closes with a pointed message: that Fed independence and the rule of law are paramount to economic stability, and that centrism — not ideological extremism — remains the best way to run the country.

https://teachhoops.com/ As the playoffs approach, every coach feels the pressure to add just one more thing. One more set. One more adjustment. One more emphasis. In this episode, Coach Collins tackles the tension between urgency and restraint and why late-season success is more about sharpening than overloading. This conversation explores how teams often stall not because they lack preparation, but because they lose clarity. When roles get fuzzy and priorities expand, confidence slips. Strong in-season leadership means identifying what actually wins for your team and protecting it relentlessly. If you're a few weeks away from postseason play and feeling that pull to do more, this episode will help you pause, refocus, and lead with intention. Sometimes the biggest competitive edge is knowing what to take away. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Scholar transport services in Lenasia and parts of Soweto, Johannesburg, are currently on a stay-away following a crackdown on overloading. Over 60 vehicles were impounded and three drivers arrested during a blitz inspection. This comes in the wake of a fatal crash in Vanderbijlpark on Monday that killed 14 learners. Elvis Presslin spoke to Sibongile Maseko, General Secretary of the Greater Gauteng Learner Transport Organisation, who says the decision to impound the vehicles is unfair as most were compliant

Train Your Brain to Play Offense Elite performance doesn't come from motivation: it comes from training. Rich Horwath sits down with Dr. Jason Selk, one of the world's leading performance coaches, to explore how mental toughness is built, practiced, and sustained under pressure. Drawing from Selk's work with championship teams and senior executives, the conversation reframes performance as a discipline rooted in high standards, preparation, and self-image. From his Midwest upbringing to his early test with the St. Louis Cardinals, Selk shares how readiness, not reassurance, separates top performers. The discussion delivers practical tools leaders can apply immediately, including identity statements, process goals, visualization, and the power of starting each day on offense. The takeaway is clear: when the mind is trained intentionally, strategy and execution follow.

In this week's episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor challenges the annual ritual of New Year's resolutions and explains why most of them quietly collapse by February. Debra unpacks the three big illusions that keep entrepreneurs stuck. The belief in a magical fresh start, the short-lived energy of January, and the assumption that wanting change is the same as committing to it. She shares a loving truth many leaders need to hear. You are not lazy or undisciplined, you are overloaded and unsupported by structure. Rather than chasing motivation, Debra offers a simpler, more sustainable approach. Choosing just two non-negotiable anchors for the year, one personal and one business, and building a consistent weekly rhythm that makes progress unavoidable. She explores how creating friction for old habits, setting firm boundaries, and planning energy into the calendar are essential for real change. The episode also highlights a crucial but often ignored factor in personal follow-through. Your team. Debra explains why individual willpower is not enough, and how tenacious, accountable teams make long-term change possible. If you are tired of setting goals you do not keep and ready to build a year that actually sticks, this episode will help you replace resolutions with systems and start the year with clarity, compassion, and traction.    CONNECT WITH DEBRA:         ___________________________________________         ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►Connect with Debra: ⁠debra@businessaction.com.au ⁠ ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/ ►Claim Your Free E-Book: https://www.businessaction.co.nz/free-e-book/       Episode 253 Chapters:    00:00 – Introduction 00:33 – New Year's Resolutions and Structural Failures   01:54 – Three January Illusions   02:51 – Loving Truths and Overloading   04:49 – The Three-Week Slump   06:40 – Setting Goals and Building Systems   07:13 – Creating Friction and Setting Boundaries   09:04 – Treating Yourself with Compassion   10:19 – The Role of Tenacious Teams

https://jo.my/n6khdj Material Storage & Racking Safety: Safe Stacking and Load Limits Keeping a warehouse running efficiently depends on more than just fast movement and good organization. One often overlooked area is how materials are stacked and stored. Improper stacking doesn't just lead to wasted space—it can also set the stage for serious injuries, product damage, and even structural failure. That's why load limits and stacking guidelines matter. This week, we're focusing on Safe Stacking and Load Limits—and how following a few fundamental principles can prevent significant problems. Whether you're placing pallets, loading a rack, or relocating inventory, it all comes down to making safety-first decisions. A solid safety culture means we don't just trust the racking system—we understand how to use it properly and effectively. Here are a few ways to make sure your stacking practices stay safe and consistent: Know the weight capacity of your racking system. This isn't a guesswork situation. Look for the posted limits—or ask if you're unsure. Overloading racks can cause them to buckle or collapse, and even a single mistake can trigger a chain reaction. Stack materials evenly and symmetrically. Off-balance loads are just waiting to tip. Make sure items are placed with even weight distribution and sit flat against the pallet. Leaning stacks? Not safe. Respect height limits. Those limits are there for a reason. Stacking too high makes it harder to see, increases the risk of tipping, and creates extra stress on the lower levels of your rack. Use only good-quality pallets. Broken boards, missing corners, or sagging wood can lead to spills, equipment damage, and injuries. Check before you stack. If a pallet looks bad, it probably is. Never use racks as ladders or shortcuts. They're designed to hold inventory, not people. If you need to reach something, use a proper lift or ladder. Climbing the rack may seem quicker—but it's never worth the risk. As always, these are potential tips. Please be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility. Safe stacking isn't just a checklist item. It's part of building a warehouse environment where people can do their jobs without second-guessing the stability of what's above or around them. When stacks are neat, balanced, and within limits, everyone can focus on the task at hand—without worrying about what might fall next. This might sound basic, but that's exactly the point. The safest systems are often built on habits so solid that you don't even have to think twice. Make those habits your standard. Thank you for joining us for another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time - have a great week, and STAY SAFE! #Safety #SafetyCulture #StaySafe #StorageHazards #MaterialHandling #RackingSafety #SafeStacking #PalletSafety #LoadLimits

In this episode of Conversations on Careers and Professional Life, I explire one of the most powerful frameworks for structuring clear, persuasive business communication: the Minto Pyramid Principle. The framework, created by Barbara Minto at McKinsey, is a simple but transformative way to organize ideas. Think of your communication as a pyramid: At the top is your main point — your recommendation, your answer, your "so what." Beneath that are the supporting arguments — the key reasons your audience should agree with or believe your main point. At the base are the evidence and details — the facts, data, and analysis that give those arguments weight. The beauty of the Pyramid Principle is that it works at every level. Your entire presentation can follow it, each section within your presentation can follow it, and even each individual slide can follow it. Every idea should ladder up neatly to the one above it. Why does this matter? Because most presentations and meetings fail not because the ideas are bad, but because the structure is confusing. When you cram multiple ideas into a single slide, include disconnected data, or bury the lead, your audience can't follow the story. If everything is important, nothing is important. The Pyramid Principle forces you to make choices. It asks: What's the single most important point I want my audience to remember if they leave after five minutes? That's the point that belongs at the top of the pyramid. Everything else exists to serve that idea—or it doesn't belong. Here's how to apply it. Start with your answer—your key recommendation. Imagine that the most senior person in the room gets a phone call and leaves six minutes into your presentation. If they walk out then, will they know what you're recommending? Don't make your audience wait until slide 17 to find out your point. Put it right up front. Then, support it with your major premises—ideally three. There's a reason consultants love the "rule of three." Research shows that once you go beyond three supporting points, credibility actually drops. Four or five reasons feel like overkill; three feels complete. For example: "We recommend launching the pilot in Austin—because customer adoption is highest, operational costs are lowest, and the competitive landscape is still open." That single sentence is a mini pyramid: a clear main point supported by three reasons. Each reason could then become a section, a slide, or even a paragraph of an email—each with its own evidence and analysis. Finally, check that every piece of content—every chart, bullet, and image—supports one of those reasons. If it doesn't, cut it. Anton Chekhov said, "If there's a gun on the wall in Act I, it must go off by Act III. If it's not going to be fired, take it down." The same is true for your slides: if it doesn't serve your main point, it shouldn't be there. Common pitfalls? Starting with background or methodology. You want to show your process, but your audience doesn't care how you got there until they know where you're going. Start with the destination. Overloading slides. Each slide should have one key message, and the title should say it, not label it. Instead of "Customer Survey Results," say, "Customers are willing to pay 20% more for faster delivery." Forgetting your audience. The Pyramid Principle works best when grounded in AIM—Audience, Intent, Message. Who are you talking to? What do they care about? What action do you want them to take? Before you build your next deck, don't start in PowerPoint. Start with a piece of paper. Write your main point at the top, your three strongest supporting arguments underneath, and then only the data or visuals that prove those points. When you've done that, you've built a story pyramid that's clear, concise, and persuasive. Remember—slides don't cost anything. Use as many as you need, but only one idea per slide. Start with the answer. Support it with logic. End with confidence. That's the Minto Pyramid Principle—and it's how you turn information into influence.

https://teachhoops.com/ In a recent episode of "Coach Unplugged," hosts Coach Collins and Coach Steger discuss the challenges high school athletes and coaches face when transitioning from fall sports like football or soccer to the basketball season. They emphasize the importance of understanding both the physical and mental adjustments required during this period. Building Personal Connections Coach Collins highlights the significance of knowing each player's name to foster stronger relationships and enhance communication. Using a player's name captures their attention and makes them feel valued, which is crucial for team cohesion. Balancing Expectations and Well-being The coaches stress that athletes should not be overwhelmed immediately after their fall sports season. Coach Collins avoids holding evening open gyms in September to prevent adding stress to players already committed to other sports. Instead, he offers morning sessions for those interested, respecting their time and need for rest. Understanding Physical Differences Between Sports Transitioning athletes need time to adjust to basketball's continuous pace, which differs from the stop-and-go nature of sports like football. Coaches should implement gradual conditioning programs to prevent injuries and fatigue, recognizing that immediate peak performance is unrealistic. Mental Health and Avoiding Burnout The mental shift between seasons is as crucial as the physical one. Overloading athletes can lead to burnout. Providing mental breaks and low-pressure activities like shooting practice helps athletes enjoy the game without feeling overwhelmed. Collaborating with Other Coaches Maintaining positive relationships with other sports coaches is vital. Open communication ensures athletes are not caught between conflicting commitments and that their best interests are prioritized. Providing Flexible Opportunities Offering optional activities allows athletes to engage with basketball without feeling obligated. This flexibility maintains their enthusiasm and prevents them from being overwhelmed by additional commitments. Supporting Non-Fall Sport Athletes Coaches can encourage athletes not participating in fall sports to focus on conditioning and skill development but should avoid excessive pressure. A balanced approach prepares them physically without risking burnout. Emphasizing Skill Development Focusing on shooting and fundamental skills during the transition period helps athletes acclimate to basketball. It provides a low-impact way to improve performance and serves as a mental break. Avoiding Early Season Burnout Starting the season too intensely can cause athletes to peak early and lose momentum. Coaches should pace the season appropriately, gradually increasing intensity to keep athletes fresh and engaged. Conclusion: Start Slow to Finish Strong The key message is to "start slow to finish strong." By pacing the transition and focusing on athletes' physical and mental health, coaches can set their teams up for a successful season. This approach leads to sustained performance and a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Families of the 43 people that were killed during a bus crash in Tshambudzi Valley in Limpopo on Sunday are continuing with the identification process of their loved one's bodies. The bus was travelling from Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape enroute to Zimbabwe and Malawi when it lost control, rolled down the valley just outside Louis Trichardt and landed on its roof. Overloading was identified as a possible cause of the crash. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC reporter, Michael Makungo

What if everything you thought you knew about childhood health—and the medicine meant to protect it—was wrong? In this high-voltage episode of Rush to Reason, Dr. Kelly Victory joins John Rush for a conversation that starts with a jolt and never lets up. They dissect Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s much-hyped press conference on autism, where Tylenol took center stage. Is acetaminophen really the culprit, or is it just a convenient decoy hiding something far more alarming? Dr. Kelly questions decades of medical assumptions, tracing the rise in autism rates alongside an explosion in vaccines recommended for pregnant women and young children. She challenges listeners to consider the overlooked connection between pain relievers, vaccination timing, and neurological health. Could the real story be about how often—and how early—we challenge a baby's immune system? The debate deepens as she explains why pain relief during pregnancy has become a medical puzzle. If Tylenol is off the table, what's left—opiates? And why did so many studies ignore a critical factor: vaccination status? Parents' testimonies of children who regressed after routine shots sharpen the stakes. In the 1960s, a child might receive six to eight vaccines; today, that number can reach eighty-four. Are we overwhelming fragile immune systems for the sake of convenience? Could repeated “foreign protein” injections be driving the surge in autoimmune disorders and allergies we never used to see—while countries with fewer vaccines and no mandates report far lower autism rates? If good health can't be injected, how many of these shots are truly necessary? Listen and decide for yourself.

Joel Smith speaks on 12 reasons why athletes and coaches may hit a plateau in their performance programs. These include: 1. Lack of stimulation in the training environment 2. Too much stimulation in the training environment 3. Not enough creativity or novelty 4. Lack of a clear plan 5. Too much weightlifting 6. Not enough weightlifting 7. Monotony from failing to wave training loads 8. A lack of representative play and exploration 9. Deficits in skill learning 10. Programs that feel too constricting 11. Athletes not feeling truly seen or heard 12.  Gaps in belief and motivation In this episode, we'll unpack these elements one by one, while also exploring practical methods coaches and athletes can use to break through these plateaus and unlock new levels of performance.

Too many repetitive drills and static formats dull the nervous system and the mind. What to try: Use small-sided games or reactive drills to increase decision density. Rotate training environments or sensory constraints to create novelty. Avoid overly choreographed warmups—build something they have to solve. Too Much Stimulation in the Training Environment – [3:18] Overloading athletes with chaos, cues, or novelty can backfire. When there's too much going on, meaningful adaptation slows down. What to try: Balance open tasks with periods of focused repetition. Simplify instructions—set the environment, then observe. Know when to back off and give space for consolidation. Not Enough Creativity or Novelty – [6:00] Without moments of surprise or exploration, athletes stop learning. Creativity sparks engagement—and often, better movement solutions. What to try: Add odd objects, uneven surfaces, or unconventional constraints. Give athletes freedom within drills to explore variations. Don't aim for perfect reps—aim for meaningful reps. Lack of a Clear Plan – [7:36] Randomness without progression can feel chaotic. Athletes need to see where training is going—even if it's nonlinear. What to try: Cycle phases between creative exposure and focused refinement. Revisit key themes and skills, even in exploratory training. Share your intent—clarity builds trust. Too Much Weightlifting – [10:20] Lifting can become a crutch when it overshadows movement quality or reduces time for skill and game-speed work. What to try: Trim down barbell volume in favor of transfer-driven tasks. Use loaded movements that keep athletes grounded and aware. Ask: Is this lift enhancing or muting athleticism? Not Enough Weightlifting – [12:12] Some environments undervalue lifting altogether, leading to gaps in tissue tolerance and general strength. What to try: Use tempo and iso-based lifts to build coordination and robustness. Make lifting complementary, not competitive, with field work. Keep it simple—progressive resistance is still powerful when done well. Monotony from Failing to Wave Training Loads – [13:44]

Your restaurant's most powerful marketing tool? The menu. In this episode, the team dives deep into one of the most overlooked yet powerful tools in your restaurant: the menu. From visual psychology and printing strategies to layout, material choices, and pricing tactics, this conversation is packed with practical tips to help you treat your menu like what it truly is—your #1 marketing and sales tool. You'll walk away with insights on font choices, color psychology, menu engineering, printing vendors, and even why leaving drink prices off the menu can increase profits. If you've ever shrugged off menu updates as an expense, this episode will change your mindset—and maybe even your margins. Key Takeaways: Your Menu Is Not an Expense—It's an Investment It's the first thing guests engage with when deciding how much to spend. A thoughtful, clean, and well-printed menu elevates perception and drives higher check averages. Design & Readability Matter Font size, layout, paper quality, and cleanliness all shape the guest's impression. Use negative space, legible fonts, and layout strategies like the Golden Triangle to drive selection. Strategic Printing Choices Use a local printer when possible—consider bartering or partnerships. Evaluate in-house printing if you need frequent updates. Menu holders, sleeves, and material durability should match your concept. Proven Profit Tips Use high-quality food photos for best-sellers (especially on laminated or in-house menus). Leave beverage prices off for pricing flexibility. Add visual cues to highlight high-margin items. Common Mistakes to Avoid Dirty or outdated menus, inconsistent updates, typos, or cluttered layouts. Overloading with too many items, especially in smaller operations. Practical Tools & Tech Use AI (like ChatGPT) to help write compelling, accurate menu descriptions. Establish an SOP for menu changes across online platforms, third-party apps, and POS systems.

In this episode, we're exploring the invisible ways boundary issues show up in our everyday routines - especially in how we manage time, energy, and expectations. Most of us think of boundaries as things we set with other people, but what about the quiet, internal boundaries we often ignore? Like the ones that involve being realistic about what we can actually get done, or giving ourselves time to rest, think, and reset? You'll hear a fresh take on how things like over-planning, skipping buffer time, and pushing through exhaustion aren't just bad habits - they're symptoms of boundary blind spots. We'll dig into what's really going on when you feel behind, overwhelmed, or frustrated with yourself—and how small mindset shifts around time and planning can make a big difference in how you feel and function. Three Takeaways 1.    Boundaries aren't just for relationships, they also show up in how you treat your time, your schedule, and your capacity. 2.    There's often a gap between what we expect of ourselves and what's actually humanly possible - and ignoring that gap creates daily stress. Confidence and calm don't come from doing more, they come from creating space for what matters most.     Overloading yourself isn't strength – it's self-abandonment.     Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

Are you a gut health dabbler? You're not alone. Many of us read books, listen to podcasts, and try the occasional supplement—but never fully commit to making real, lasting changes. But here's the truth: gut health isn't something you can afford to dabble in. It's the foundation of everything—your mood, energy, immunity, digestion, and even long-term disease prevention. In this episode of The Aging Project Podcast, Clinical Nutritionist Lynsey Koch joins Shelley Craft to help us stop dabbling for good. She breaks down why gut health is the missing piece in longevity, the biggest mistakes we're making, and how to build gut-friendly habits that actually work. Why We Ignore Gut Health (And Why That Needs to Change) We see our dentist for our teeth. We visit dermatologists for our skin. But when it comes to our gut—the control centre of our health—who's keeping us accountable? Many of us only start caring about gut health when something goes wrong. Lynsey explains why we need to shift our thinking and start treating gut health as a daily practice, not a last resort. How Your Gut Affects More Than Just Digestion Did you know that 90% of serotonin (your feel-good hormone) is made in the gut? Or that a diverse gut microbiome is linked to longer, healthier lives? Poor gut health is now connected to anxiety, depression, weight struggles, inflammation, and even autoimmune diseases. If you're feeling sluggish, bloated, moody, or dealing with skin issues—your gut could be the culprit. The Biggest Gut Health Mistakes (Are You Making These?) Many of us think we're taking care of our gut, but we're making key mistakes, including:

Feeling stuck? In today's episode, I dive deep into how to conquer information overload and regain your focus. My main piece of advice is simple yet powerful: Stop Consuming So Much Information! It's easy to feel like you're drowning in endless streams of content, but when you, as a business owner, fail to monitor the information you consume, it can drain your creativity and clarity. This approach not only makes a huge difference in your business but also aligns with biblical wisdom. The Bible teaches us to be mindful of what we allow into our hearts and minds, emphasizing the importance of focus, peace, and discernment. Overloading ourselves with information can lead to confusion, while taking control of what we consume allows us to be more intentional and effective in our work. I also share how slowing down, simplifying, and prioritizing what truly matters can bring you closer to the success and peace you deserve. You've got this—let's reclaim your time, energy, and creativity!

Are you unintentionally overwhelming your audience with too much information? In this episode, I dive into one of the most common mistakes I see smart, experienced professionals make in their presentations: overloading them with information. I know it's tempting - after all, we want to provide value. But here's the truth: real impact doesn't come from how much you teach, but from how much you transform. In this episode, you'll learn: Why more information isn't always better (and can actually be a disservice) How to shift your content from info-dumping to insight-sharing The key ingredients that create transformation in your talks What I learned from TV shows like Succession and Inventing Anna about confidence, vision, and belief (yep, there's a lesson in there!)

In this episode, I'm thrilled to share with you my keynote lecture from the Biohacker Expo 2025 in sunny Miami. We're diving deep into the incredible impact that our thoughts and mindset have on our health. It's all about the power of positive thinking and cultivating a strong self-image, folks. I'll be introducing you to heart rate variability, or HRV, which is an amazing tool for tracking how well we're adapting to stress. Plus, I'll share some effective strategies to boost your HRV. And let's not forget the transformative power of gratitude. Research shows it can do wonders for your immune health and longevity. So, I'm encouraging all of you to embrace gratitude and positive thinking to supercharge your metabolic health and overall well-being. Let's get into it!

In today's episode, Colleen unpacks the hidden ways we keep ourselves stuck—whether it's staying in a comfort zone that no longer serves us, running on autopilot, or avoiding the call to expand into something greater. She explores the four zones we operate from (incompetence, competence, excellence, and genius) and how staying in the wrong one can quietly drain your energy and fulfillment. Plus, she shares the one simple question you can ask yourself daily to shift into a life that feels more open, creative, and aligned. Key Takeaways: The Four Zones That Keep You Stuck Zone of Incompetence – The things you struggle with and really shouldn't be doing. Spending time here out of fear or scarcity (like trying to fix your own tech issues instead of outsourcing) wastes time and energy. Zone of Competence – You can do these tasks, but so can others. Overloading yourself here leads to burnout because you're not fully using your gifts. Zone of Excellence – The place where you thrive and others rely on you, but it keeps you comfortable and prevents you from stepping into the next level of growth. Zone of Genius – Where you feel expansive, creative, and most aligned. This is where fulfillment lives—but getting there requires releasing old patterns and allowing yourself to grow. The Emotional Test: Contraction vs. Expansion Every action, habit, or decision either expands your heart (makes you feel alive, curious, and in flow) or contracts it (makes you feel stuck, drained, or small). Noticing this difference in real-time helps you shift away from habits that keep you playing small—like overworking, people-pleasing, or numbing with alcohol. When the feeling of over-drinking meets redundancy  So many high-achievers stay stuck in the zone of competence or excellence, which leads to boredom and frustration. When we feel unfulfilled, we reach for something to take the edge off—like drinking. Of course.  The "probably" real solution?? STOP IGNORING THE PART OF YOU THAT WANTS MORE FOR YOURSELF. Actionable Steps: Check In: When you feel the overwhelming pressure from the opposite side of the mirror, ask yourself: Am I in a state of expansion or contraction? Expansion = openness, curiosity, creativity.  Contraction = stress, avoidance, overthinking, numbing. Drop It Like It's Hot: If something feels like contraction (overthinking, unnecessary busyness, perfectionism), drop it as fast as possible. Give yourself permission to delegate, simplify, or step away from things that drain you. Prioritize What Actually Moves You Forward: Identify what actions truly create change in your life. Stop wasting energy in areas that don't serve your highest potential. Make Space for Your Zone of Genius: Spend more time doing what makes you feel the most engaged and fulfilled. Trust that stepping into this space will naturally lessen your urge to numb, overwork, or self-sabotage. Homework: Start a daily practice of asking yourself:              ~Does this expand me or contract me? Make a list of things you need to let go of so you can step into more freedom, creativity, and alignment. ~Then, discard by a method of your choice.

When we make certain choices, often without even realizing it, we can turn a teaching moment from one that should be clear into one that's confusing. Luckily, these choices are pretty easy to spot and fix once we know what to look for, and cognitive science can help us understand what's going on. In this episode I'm going to talk about three of these with Blake Harvard, who writes the Effortful Educator blog and has just published a new book, Do I Have Your Attention? Understanding Memory Constraints and Maximizing Learning. Thanks to Boclips Classroom and Brisk Teaching for sponsoring this episode.

But the reality is that certain financial decisions—ones that seem harmless or even smart in the moment—can quietly erode your long-term security.

Today, we uncover some of the most common and costly retirement pitfalls that people don't see coming. From high-interest home equity loans to over-investing in trendy stocks, we break down why these decisions can backfire and what you can do instead to protect your future.

Some experts suggest charging for webinars rather than offering them free. While those strategies might work, they're often presented with blanket statements that carry judgment and privilege. The misconception is that if people pay, or spend more, they value it more... and therefore are more likely to complete whatever they've purchased.Yes, there is psychological evidence that price influences the perceived value of a product, but it's not the full story.Challenging blanket marketing adviceIt's crucial to challenge these two common strategies: raising prices to increase people's perceived value, and charging for what could be free to attract "high-intent" customers.For instance, the idea that charging $25 for a webinar makes attendees more likely to act is flawed. Correlation doesn't equal causation—there's much more at play in customer behaviour.Privilege and judgement detox Now, let's address the issue of privilege and judgment in these pricing strategies. Charging for a 5-day challenge because it supposedly attracts more committed participants can be misguided. If the free challenge isn't converting, adding a price won't fix that. If people aren't finishing the challenge, again - charging for it won't fix the design issue with the challenge itself.The real issue might be it fails to move people closer to readiness to purchase or the sales pitch needs work. Overloading a challenge with information and too much homework might also keep people from achieving their goals, and being ready for what's next.Keep on reading and grab links at tashcorbin.com/439Let me know your thoughts via our Text FanMail!

https://teachhoops.com/In a recent episode of "Coach Unplugged," hosts Coach Collins and Coach Steger discuss the challenges high school athletes and coaches face when transitioning from fall sports like football or soccer to the basketball season. They emphasize the importance of understanding both the physical and mental adjustments required during this period. Building Personal Connections Coach Collins highlights the significance of knowing each player's name to foster stronger relationships and enhance communication. Using a player's name captures their attention and makes them feel valued, which is crucial for team cohesion. Balancing Expectations and Well-being The coaches stress that athletes should not be overwhelmed immediately after their fall sports season. Coach Collins avoids holding evening open gyms in September to prevent adding stress to players already committed to other sports. Instead, he offers morning sessions for those interested, respecting their time and need for rest. Understanding Physical Differences Between Sports Transitioning athletes need time to adjust to basketball's continuous pace, which differs from the stop-and-go nature of sports like football. Coaches should implement gradual conditioning programs to prevent injuries and fatigue, recognizing that immediate peak performance is unrealistic. Mental Health and Avoiding Burnout The mental shift between seasons is as crucial as the physical one. Overloading athletes can lead to burnout. Providing mental breaks and low-pressure activities like shooting practice helps athletes enjoy the game without feeling overwhelmed. Collaborating with Other Coaches Maintaining positive relationships with other sports coaches is vital. Open communication ensures athletes are not caught between conflicting commitments and that their best interests are prioritized. Providing Flexible Opportunities Offering optional activities allows athletes to engage with basketball without feeling obligated. This flexibility maintains their enthusiasm and prevents them from being overwhelmed by additional commitments. Supporting Non-Fall Sport Athletes Coaches can encourage athletes not participating in fall sports to focus on conditioning and skill development but should avoid excessive pressure. A balanced approach prepares them physically without risking burnout. Emphasizing Skill Development Focusing on shooting and fundamental skills during the transition period helps athletes acclimate to basketball. It provides a low-impact way to improve performance and serves as a mental break. Avoiding Early Season Burnout Starting the season too intensely can cause athletes to peak early and lose momentum. Coaches should pace the season appropriately, gradually increasing intensity to keep athletes fresh and engaged. Conclusion: Start Slow to Finish Strong The key message is to "start slow to finish strong." By pacing the transition and focusing on athletes' physical and mental health, coaches can set their teams up for a successful season. This approach leads to sustained performance and a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
