BOSSes, Anne Ganguzza and her superpower co-host, Lau Lapides, assert that subtext in voice acting is the single most important element for delivering a powerful, unique, and castable performance. The bosses challenge the common mistake of literal reading, offering practical strategies—from audience analysis to efficient marking—that elevate a performance from predictable to profound.     Chapter Summaries: Subtext Defines Uniqueness (01:00) Lau states that subtext—the underlying interpretation of a line—is what makes a talent unique. The hosts explain that relying solely on obvious language or descriptive adjectives leads to predictable, robot-like reads. The true power lies in making nuanced choices about what the words really mean to the listener. Audience and Empathy are Everything (02:44) Subtext is entirely dependent on who you are talking to. Anne uses the example of corporate narration: the subtext for an investor (focused on financial facts) is different from the subtext for a consumer (focused on customer service and product benefits). The acting choice must be rooted in empathy and understanding what the listener cares about. The Structural Journey of the Script (14:30) Every script has a structural journey: introduction, series of steps, and conclusion. The subtext should align with this journey. The hosts emphasize that if you are running out of breath , it is the dead giveaway that you did not prepare the story, as natural conversation doesn't require breath struggle. Techniques for Finding the Subtext (22:34) To efficiently analyze copy, the hosts recommend: Improv and Translate: Improvise the script in your own words to capture the genuine emotional wash and then plug the original words back in. Marking: Use clear broadcast-style marking to denote phrasing and intent, but also pay attention to the ellipses and punctuation for clues about the emotional context. Use AI as a Tool: Paste ambiguous scripts into an AI tool (like a chatbot) and ask, "What is the purpose of this script? Who cares about this information?" to provide a jumping-off point for human interpretation. Avoiding the Literal Trap (23:37) The hosts caution against taking common acting advice too literally. For example, constant smiling throughout a read, or persistent upspeak at the end of every sentence, sounds unnatural and is perceived as not genuine. Your performance must always reflect how you would behave and sound in a real-world conversation. The Brilliance of a Point of View (25:16) Subtext gives you a clear point of view. The hosts provide a simple example: saying "Are you wearing those pants?" can be interpreted in dramatically different ways (anger, excitement, disgust) depending on the subtext. This intentional interpretation is what makes your audition unique and elevates it above the predictable melody.     Top 10 Takeaways for Voice Actors: Subtext is Everything: The emotional core and underlying meaning of your script is what makes your performance unique and castable. Analyze Your Audience: Base your subtext on who the listener is (consumer, investor, business-to-business) and what they care about most. Translate into Your Own Words: Use the "improv and translate" technique to efficiently find the genuine emotional wash before recording. Embrace Emotional Ambiguity: Simple sentences can hold complex, contrasting subtext. That complexity is your unique acting choice. Use AI to Find Backstory: Use AI as an analysis tool to find information about the brand and the script's purpose, but always apply your human interpretation. Pacing is Preparation: If you struggle for breath, you have not prepared the story correctly. Good actors always know how to naturally navigate long sentences. Mark for Meaning: Pay close attention to punctuation and structure (ellipses, introductions, conclusions) as cues for shifts in subtext. Avoid the Literal Trap: Do not read adjectives literally (e.g., constant smiling). Your emotional choice must align with authenticity, not simple description. The Share is the Subtext: Your goal is to share the story with the listener, not talk at them or talk in your head. Point of View Stands Out: An audition with a clear, intentional point of view, even if surprising, will always get shortlisted over a generic, predictable read.

This 10-minute episode reframes consent as a clarity tool that protects curiosity and speeds honest decisions. Host Sarah lays out a simple Consent Map with three zones—Green (go), Gold (check-in), Red (pause)—and shows how the map applies to physical touch, messaging tempo, and time investment without moralizing. Listeners learn three short, adaptable scripts (a green nudge, a gold-check, a red pause) and tone cues to keep language warm and nonjudgmental. The episode models two realistic micro-scenes (a coffee-to-hug moment and an escalating message thread) so listeners hear delivery and pacing. Practical micro-experiments invite listeners to try one gold-check and one red-pause this week and notice how clarity changes outcomes. Framed as an action-first habit, the episode emphasizes safety, adaptability across cultures and neurotypes, and tiny language shifts that make consent easy to practice nightly.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.

Working and Breastfeeding Made Simple? Nancy and Barbara discuss this important topic and how their new book group, Working and Breastfeeding Made Simple, can help make you an expert on this topic. Here are just five topics that will be covered in depth during the book group! Yes, it is possible to support working parents in achieving their infant feeding goals. Several critical factors for supporting breastfeeding/chestfeeding among employed parents have been identified in the literature and clinical practice. Despite the dire statistics, families in Barbara’s private practice actually do well. None of them discontinued breastfeeding during the first month of returning to work. Providing accurate information about how breast milk supply works and how to express breast milk, along with social and emotional support, appeared to help clients maintain breastfeeding despite occasional difficulties. Here are five critical factors that help families meet their breastfeeding goals. 1. Breastfeeding Is Going Well Before Returning to Work One critical factor for success is having the parent be good at breastfeeding before they return to work. It is well established that breastfeeding becomes less labor-intensive (and generally easier) for most mothers at approximately 6–7 weeks (Mohrbacher & Kendall-Tackett, 2010). If breastfeeding isn't going well or a mother goes back to work before 6–7 weeks, she is more likely to be unsuccessful with this transition. If a mother is struggling with pain, has a baby who doesn't feed well at the breast, or her milk supply is low when she returns to work, she is doubly challenged from the get-go! Providing a plan to address these issues along with hope, accurate information, and support can help mothers continue breastfeeding even as they return to work. 2. Support From an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant The support and information that an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) can provide are critical for success. Many parents don't have anyone in their lives who understands or cares about why they are even trying to continue to breastfeed and work. IBCLCs do care. They want them to achieve their breastfeeding/chestfeeding goals. Together, IBCLCs can help improve the low statistics on working and breastfeeding success. 3. Success at Milk Removals Another critical factor for success is how effectively the parent expresses their milk when separated from their baby. Most clients use a standard, personal-use, double-electric breast pump. However, not all pumps are created equal. Some work well, and some don't work as well. Using a pump with adequate vacuum, different-sized breast shields (as necessary), and variable speeds will increase her chances of success. At the same time, if a pump has all these things and they is still not getting out their milk, IBCLCs have to get creative. Perhaps they need to try a different pump brand, rent a hospital-grade pump, use a hand pump, or hand express. Watching a parent pump is essential. Test the vacuum. Make sure their shields fit well. Many families are unaware that different-sized breast shields even exist. Positive associations to help them “Feel the Love” for their pump. Without an oxytocin release, parents are trying to pull the breast milk out of their bodies. With an oxytocin release, they are working in sync with their body. Their body is pushing the milk out of their breasts. This is much more effective. If the parent is having trouble “feeling the love,” suggest warm compresses, warm breast shields (Kent, Geddes, Hepworth, & Hartmann, 2011), and/or massage before pumping (Bolman & Witt, 2013; Bowles, 2011). They can also use “hands-on” pumping techniques to help get the breast if the milk is flowing (Morton, n.d.). Additionally, hand expression for a minute or two on each breast after pumping can support milk production (Morton et al., 2012). Some mothers find that visualizing their baby or their milk flowing helps. Others find that playing Candy Crush helps! There are some hypno-pumping visualization MP4 products out there. Have them practice pumping while getting a massage, eating chocolate, or watching their favorite comedy. It's straight classical conditioning. Pair a condition with a response (think Pavlov's dog). Clients can help train their bodies to have an oxytocin surge in response to their pumps. If a mother is having difficulties with her milk production, encourage her to blame her pump for lack of breast milk, not her body! If breast milk is not being removed effectively while she is separated from her baby, her supply will go down. 4. Supportive Child Care Working and breastfeeding success can also be at risk if the family's child care provider does not value breast milk or the breastfeeding relationship with the baby. Overfeeding the baby while the parent is away is a common problem. The child care provider needs to understand that not all crying or fussiness is about food. They also need to know how to care for expressed breast/chest milk and how to bottle-feed a baby in a breastfeeding-friendly manner by pacing the bottle feed. It is now recommended that all infants be fed in this manner, not just breastfed infants, even when there is breast milk in the bottle. Pacing the feed helps the baby control his or her intake and prevents overeating, which may help prevent obesity in later life. 5. Avoid Overfeeding at Child Care The final stumbling block concerns overfeeding and subsequent reduced breastfeeding when families are reunited. When a baby has been overfed at child care, not only is it almost impossible to keep providing enough pumped breast milk for the baby, but the baby also doesn't need to breastfeed as often from mom when they get back together. It is as if the baby is saying, “No thanks; I'm good! I had all my needed calories for day from my caregiver.” This does not hold true for all babies, but it does for many. Additionally, being away from one’s mother can be stressful and tiring. Babies can sometimes sleep longer at night because of this. Between not needing to nurse because of the calorie overload during child care and sleeping longer at night, mothers can end up breastfeeding far less than they were before returning to work. Suggesting that mothers pump before going to bed if their baby is scheduled to sleep at 8:00 p.m. and will not feed much during the night can help. This strategy appears to help improve their breast milk supply. Summary In Barbara’s clinical practice, she has found that these five factors can undermine a parent's ability to continue breastfeeding/chestfeeding after they return to work. Again, breastfeeding not working well, the lack of information and support, milk removals not working well, lack of paced bottle feeding, and a parent's daily milk removals reducing over time are the most common culprits that have been found to sabotage a mother's success in meeting her breastfeeding goals when returning to work. Providing information about these issues may help families anticipate problems before they arise, or at least help them quickly identify when they are moving down a slippery slope, and can significantly increase their odds of having the breastfeeding/chestfeeding relationship they dreamed of before returning to work.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber's 2026 tour plans are currently on pause, with insiders revealing that any discussions about dates, locations, or creative concepts have completely halted. Sources confirm that Bieber is deliberately taking his time to plan his comeback carefully, focusing on doing it right and making it epic rather than rushing into a full-scale tour. While fans eager for a world tour might be disappointed, Bieber is still maintaining connections with his audience through intimate, small-scale performances rather than large concerts. This approach allows him to keep fans engaged without the pressure and chaos of major touring, signaling a carefully measured return to the spotlight that prioritizes his long-term health and legacy (according to Reality Tea and Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice).In addition to his musical activities, Bieber has been busy expanding into fashion. This year, he co-founded a new fashion brand called SKYLRK alongside Neima Khaila from Pink Dolphin, with his wife Hailey Bieber contributing to design elements. Recently, the brand launched its first 3D-printed sneaker named The Earth Bender, a notable step into innovative footwear that Bieber actively promoted on his social media channels. This move highlights Justin's growing interest and investment in business ventures beyond music, blending fashion with cutting-edge technology.On the social media front, Bieber sparked a viral moment unrelated to music but significant in showing his personality and public engagement. He posted a humorous yet frustrated rant targeting Apple's iPhone dictation feature, complaining about a microphone button in the Messages app that interrupts his music by mistake. He joked about putting Apple employees in a "rear naked choke hold," which caught wide attention, including reactions from fans and tech figures, such as Elon Musk. This episode gave a glimpse of Bieber's candid and playful side, reflecting his ability to create buzz even outside of traditional entertainment news.Upcoming appearances include a “Justin Bieber Night” event scheduled for December 12th in Honolulu and a Candlelight tribute concert in New York on December 18th, where fans can celebrate his music in a more intimate setting.In summary, Justin Bieber is consciously pacing his comeback, balancing health and legacy, while diversifying into fashion and maintaining a strong social media presence. Fans should expect a carefully crafted return on his own terms, backed by ongoing private performances and ventures into lifestyle branding, rather than an immediate major tour in 2026.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this episode, we sit down with Texas-based wedding photographer Grant Daniels, a fourteen-season veteran, father of four, and someone who has built a thriving photography business by choosing small things done with care over the pressure to scale fast. Grant opens up about burnout, rebuilding his business with intention, and learning how to pace his life so he can show up fully - both for his couples and for his family. We talk about work–life balance for wedding photographers, creating a business that supports your life (not the other way around), the role of rest in your creative process, and how slowing down can actually deepen your artistry. Grant shares practical rhythms, thoughtful philosophies, and honest stories that will resonate with any photographer longing for a healthier pace, deeper presence, and more sustainable success. If you've ever wondered how to grow your wedding photography business and your life at the same time—or how to build a career rooted in joy, meaning, and discernment—this conversation is a breath of fresh air.

Enjoy one of our most popular episodes to date.  What do you wish you knew before becoming a doula? This is a question that we see frequently from those considering birth work or those who have just entered the field. Working with growing families is the part of the work that most have at least a loose idea about. But when I think about what I wish I knew it's the practicalities that many often fail to consider. Living the on-call life. Pacing yourself when supporting families. What self-care actually looks like. These are just a few things that come immediately to mind as experienced birth workers.  Then there are other things that many may not consider. Running a business. For those who are just getting started, client management is also often overlooked. But when you get busy, systems are essential to keep track of clients, what they need, what services they've hired you to provide, and what their preferences and needs are.  Come join us as we discuss what we wish we'd known before becoming doulas!

In this Stranger Things Season 5 Part 1 special, Squeaks and Frank break down the first four episodes of the final season and talk about why the show somehow leveled up from what already felt like peak television. They revisit the fallout from Season 4, the new status quo in Hawkins under military lockdown, and how the kids have become a true high level party on the offensive instead of just surviving. The conversation hits character arcs for Will, Dustin, Eleven, Mike, Lucas, Max, Joyce, and Hopper, plus the return of Kali and what that might mean for the story. Frank and Squeaks trade theories on Vecna's real plan, Will's new powers, who might die before the end, and whether the Stranger Things theatrical finale is worth seeing in a packed theater. It is a spoiler packed, reference filled hangout for fans who just finished Part 1 and are already starving for more. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 – Intro & First Reactions Squeaks kicks off the Stranger Things special, Frank joins, and you both give your one word (or two word) reactions to Season 5 Part 1. 02:00 – Recap & Season 5 Setup Quick recap of Season 4's ending, Vecna's attack on Hawkins, the crater, the "crawl," and the military lockdown over the Upside Down rift. 05:40 – Will, Dustin & Character Arcs Deep dive into Dustin's grief and "Eddie mode," Will stepping up with new powers, and how some characters have evolved or stalled. 11:40 – Pacing, Max's Mindscape & Tone Talking through the pacing of Part 1, Max's inner "bubble" world, how the show balances horror, heart, and 80s vibes. 16:30 – Death Predictions & Who Might Go Theories on who could die in Part 2 and the finale, emotional stakes, and which characters feel expendable. 24:20 – Vecna's Entrance & Part 1 Finale Breakdown of Vecna's Vader-style entrance, revived Demogorgons, Will's power moment, and why the finale feels "next level." 32:40 – Hopper, Eleven & The Powered Kids Hopper and Eleven's relationship, trust and training, Kali's return, and ideas about Vecna building his own "lab" of powered children. 37:10 – Darker Themes & Fan Theories Discussion about trauma, possible subtext with Vecna/Henry, Stephen King influences, and how far the show might push it. 40:40 – Returning Faces & Endgame Ideas Speculation on seeing Barb, Eddie, Billy or others again, plus big theories about Will, Vecna, and the future of the Upside Down. 42:50 – Theater Finale, Ratings & Wrap-Up Chat about seeing the finale in theaters, New Year's Eve timing, your Eggo ratings for Season 5 Part 1, and closing thank-yous. Key Takeaways Stranger Things Season 5 Part 1 somehow raises the bar on a show that already felt like peak TV, especially with the Part 1 finale. Hawkins has adjusted to life around the Upside Down crater, with the military putting a "bandage" on the wound and building a base to go on offense instead of just reacting. The kids function like a well oiled high level DnD party now, splitting up by quadrants, hunting Vecna, and understanding each other's strengths. Dustin's harsher attitude is framed as grief and guilt over Eddie's death, with Dustin trying to embody Eddie's rebellious spirit and sometimes missing the point. Will finally steps out of pure victim mode into a true powered role, with his connection to the hive mind unlocking abilities that visually mirror Vecna. There is a strong theory that Vecna is basically recreating the lab in his own way, turning traumatized children into his own numbered "program" of powered kids. Hopper and Eleven's relationship is one of the emotional anchors of the season, moving from overprotection to mutual trust as Hopper finally accepts that Eleven must fight. The show keeps a balance between heavy horror and comedy, with 80s style jokes, sexual innuendo, and teen banter that make the world feel lived in even as the apocalypse looms. Fans should brace for major losses in Part 2 and the finale, with Joyce, Mike, and Will all brought up as possible tragic sacrifices in different theories. The final two episodes are cinematic enough that a theatrical run makes sense, especially with big visual moments like Will's full power activation and Vecna's Vader style entrance. Memorable Quotes "The show was already at a caliber that I was thinking was like peak television, and somehow it elevated it." "The kids are a well oiled machine at this point. They are searching in different quadrants and have different plans on how to find Vecna and confirm that he is dead." "I think Will was a victim in the beginning, and now we see him as a badass. What victimized him is now his greatest asset." "Instead of a training montage where he slowly moves a cup, it is victim, victim, victim, not a victim. That flip makes the moment hit harder." "By the end of this first batch it felt like the end of Predator or Terminator. It is that big 80s action climax energy." "If Joyce dies, we get a montage of her saving Will and being the only one who believed he was alive. That is the kind of scene this show would absolutely do." "There always has to be a Vecna. If Vecna is gone, who else could control the Upside Down but Will now" Call to Action If you enjoyed this Stranger Things Season 5 Part 1 breakdown, make sure you follow the show and hit subscribe so you do not miss our Part 2 reaction and finale coverage.

Dan and Paul discuss the art of pacing a tabletop RPG session without taking away player agency. How can a GM speed up play when the group burrows into side plots, or slow things down when players sprint straight toward the finale? When should you intervene to shape the tempo, and when should you simply let the party set the pace themselves? They also compare how pacing concerns differ between one-shot adventures and long-term campaigns, and explore ways to maintain momentum while still allowing players the freedom to explore, wander, and surprise the GM.

It's all about slowing down, pacing ourselves, and making sure our approach is actually sustainable, both for our bodies and our minds. In this episode, I talk honestly about the risks of burnout and emotional overload when we try to rush the process, and why giving ourselves permission to work in small, manageable steps is key. I'll share practical ways to set our own pace, spot the warning signs of pushing too hard, and celebrate the progress we make - even when it's slower than we'd like. The Nature of Recovery from Hoarding Disorder Recovery isn't a race or a sprint Pressure to fix things quickly—internal and external Debunking the ‘quick fix' myth Importance of sustainability in recovery Physical Aspects of Dehoarding Physical tasks: sorting, organising, donating, recycling The relentless and exhausting nature of physical dehoarding Risks of pushing too hard: Physical exhaustion and injury Impact of chronic pain, health problems, disability Decision-making fatigue from exhaustion The danger of creating a more overwhelming mess Risks of Burnout Burnout as a consequence of overexertion Emotional impact: quitting, avoidance, dread Dehoarding becomes associated with pain and suffering Emotional Aspects of Pacing Unique emotional relationships with possessions Associations, memories, grief, nostalgia, identity Anxiety and emotional flooding in decision-making The consequences of pushing past emotional limits: Panic, anxiety, rumination Avoidance and procrastination Loss of confidence in decisions Swinging between extremes: keeping everything vs. discarding everything The Impact of Emotional Flooding Damaging relationship with recovery Recovery viewed as painful or traumatic Unrealistic expectations for overnight emotional change Persistence of difficult emotional patterns despite progress Non-Linear Nature of Progress Understanding setbacks and relapses as part of the process Importance of patience and realistic expectations The need to build new emotional and cognitive pathways over time Positive Signs of Emotional Progress Ability to sit with discomfort and uncertainty Recognising and managing patterns and triggers Gradual increase in resilience and emotional tolerance Recognising Gradual Physical and Emotional Recovery Improved recovery time after difficult sessions Growing confidence in handling challenges Learning that healing and progress are not linear Practical Approaches to Pacing Time-based strategies: Working in manageable time chunks Scheduling regular breaks and days off Focusing on sustainable, consistent sessions over marathons Decision-based strategies: Limiting the number of decisions per session Identifying easier vs. harder tasks or categories Quick wins to boost motivation Checking in with oneself physically and emotionally during work Building in soothing or rewarding activities post-session Signs of Sustainable Pacing Completing sessions feeling tired but not destroyed Feeling able to return for future sessions without dread Making decisions that feel good in retrospect Enjoyment and pride in gradually improving one's space Adapting Pace to Life Circumstances Pace varies with health, mood, season, responsibilities Finding what works for the individual and the current season of life Compassionate Recovery The importance of self-compassion in setting and respecting limits Celebrating progress and honouring our human experience Links Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom session: Accountability Booking Form Website: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding Become a Dehoarding Darling Submit a topic for the podcast to cover Questions to ask when dehoarding: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/podquestions Instagram: @thathoarderpodcast Twitter: @ThatHoarder Mastodon: @ThatHoarder@mastodon.online TikTok: @thathoarderpodcast Facebook: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding with That Hoarder Pinterest: That Hoarder YouTube: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding with That Hoarder Reddit: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding with That Hoarder subreddit Help out: Support this project Sponsor the podcast Subscribe to the podcast Subscribe to the podcast here

Send us a textEpisode 692: People pleasers and all people listen up!Surprisingly, boundaries don't push people away, they actually strengthen connection. Dr. Alison Ash returns to unpack sexual boundaries, especially for those who struggle to say no.Boundaries aren't just about your values; they're about your capacity, the fluctuating energy and resources available to you based on sleep, stress, and nervous system regulation. When you're dysregulated and operating outside your window of tolerance, you become reactive and frustrated. (Most of us consistently overestimate what we can handle.)Dr. Aly shares a practical three-part formula for setting boundaries that helps others feel heard rather than rejected.Key Takeaways:• Boundaries aren't selfish, they're based on your actual capacity, which fluctuates daily based on sleep, stress, and nervous system regulation, making them a realistic necessity rather than a character flaw.• The "window of tolerance" explains why you get reactive. When dysregulated, you become irritable and struggle to enforce boundaries, so managing your nervous system is as important as stating your limits.• Healthy boundaries actually filter out unhealthy relationships, meaning people who respect your "no" strengthen the relationship, while those who don't reveal incompatibility, not rejection of them as people.Discussion topics;Sexuality, sexual health, sexual wellness, relationships, mental healthUnderstanding Your Capacity and Setting/maintaining Healthy Boundaries without guilt and while maintaining connection Feeling Safe Saying No Builds TrustUnderstanding Trauma and Nervous System DysregulationManaging Trauma Response Through Nervous System CareCommunication and Pacing in Exploring KinkSubstance Use and Consent in Sexual ExplorationLearning From Past Experiences and Building Intimacy SkillsSex Gets Better With Age and ConfidenceConnect with Dr. Aly:Sexual and Emotional Intimacy Skills online course on Tues, Jan 27th-Mar 17thWe all receive messages about who we are supposed to be, how we ought to feel, and how we should express ourselves, often enforced through shame and disconnection.

In this Spotlight, we pick out some of the sports science topics that our listeners are sharing in our Discourse community. You can become a Real Science of Sport Supporter here, and a small monthly pledge gets you access to the community that discusses today's, and many other, topics!(00:00) We begin with a look at some of the reaction to our most recent podcast on Endurance, and the Central Governor. Listener reaction and accounts of their experiences stimulate conversations about the hostilities and fights in academia, the difference between "belief" and "knowledge", failures of pacing leading to heat stroke, and how to recover from a pacing mistake when it happens in your races and training. We also learn about how physiology, for many years, views performance through a 'failure' lens, rather than regulation, and what this means for how we understand training and performance.(46:09) A new research study has again confirmed that high carbohydrate intake is the way to go, improving our running economy and unlocking potential performance gains similar to those of super shoes. We link pacing and regulation to this paper by pointing out that carbohydrates are not working by delaying fuel depletion, or sparing carbohydrates, but rather changing exercise intensity and our ability to run higher paces for longer.(57:53) Our Supporters Club have also been sharing thoughts about the challenge of endurance sports in the heat, which affects not only body temperature, but also fuel use (more carbs) and compromises carbohydrate delivery to the muscles. A triple challenge, confirmed by a new study that shows that we tolerate and extract fewer carbs in the heat.And Finally (1:03:15), Ross is planning his own heat challenges, having entered a mountain bike race in the peak of South Africa's summer. With temperatures expected to soar above 40C, heat adaptation and fuelling will be tested, and he discusses his general approach and promises to share more in the coming weeks! Hosted on Acast.

Joe Crisalli joins the podcast to breakdown the beginning of the NHL season, and to assess where his New York Rangers are heading into the meat of their schedule. The guys look at Montreal's success, Toronto's struggles, the buzzsaw that is the Colorado Avalanche and the young guns like Macklin Celebrini and Connor Bedard putting up tons of points. They then switch to football, where the Broncos, Patriots and Colts have jumped out to early division leads in the AFC that very few have seen coming. The fellas look at a showdown between the Rams and Seahawks, whether the Chiefs will bounce back, and how the top of the NFC pecking order looks as the NFL season rolls along.

In this episode of the Conquer Athlete podcast, hosts Ryan Bucciantini and Jason Leydon welcome Tyler Cooke, a CrossFit athlete and coach. The conversation covers a range of topics including the importance of pacing strategies in workouts, the role of coaching in athlete development, and the need for structured rest and recovery. They also discuss the phenomenon of 'cuckolding' in a humorous context, and how it relates to their previous discussions. The episode emphasizes the significance of learning from training experiences, particularly when athletes 'blow up' during workouts, and the necessity of balancing training intensity for long-term success.   Takeaways The loudest coaches aren't always the most experienced or knowledgeable. Training is a time for education and reflection. You cannot out tough your way to win; strategy is key. Finding the least amount of rest can optimize performance. You have to earn the right to train in dark places. Pacing is crucial; it's a math problem of who rests the least. Training should focus on efficiency, not just intensity. Athletes need to learn from their blow-up moments in training. The importance of structured rest and recovery cannot be overstated. Coaching should prioritize athlete development over just programming.    Topics Unlocking Athlete Potential with Tyler Cooke The Art of Pacing in CrossFit Sound bites "How do I rest the least?"

Harnessing the Power of DesignLoop: Elevating Your Amazon Listing Strategy Episode Overview In this episode, Danny McMillan discusses the pitfalls of relying solely on AI for design automation, emphasizing the importance of human creativity in the design process. He introduces DesignLoop, a tool designed to help sellers generate high-quality images and videos while maintaining a human touch. This episode explores ai in design automation, importance of human creativity in marketing with practical insights for immediate implementation. We've been building DesignLoop, a human-in-the-loop creative studio for images and video. I'll roll it out to the community soon - you just plug in your API keys and pay for what you use. No subscriptions, and here's the bonus: it's actually a lot cheaper than plugging directly into OpenAI and Google.       We have had a few delays, scrapping it three times in the last few weeks and then building it again.       The upside? We've built in a video storyboard Framework with rhythm-based pacing and multi-shot sequences, image recognition with Claude Vision, system logic level prompts tuned to each model, slash commands with a prompt library, and plenty of guardrails reducing expensive sling - shot slop, all while being significantly cheaper per second. Key Takeaways Design cannot be fully automated; human creativity and judgment are crucial in the design process, especially for marketing effectiveness. Having a breadth of quality assets can significantly enhance the design and marketing processes, reducing costs and improving results. Chapter Markers Time Chapter Description 00:01 Introduction to DesignLoop Danny introduces DesignLoop, highlighting its purpose to avoid generic designs often produced by AI, and stresses the need for human expertise in the creative process. 02:17 The Importance of Human Involvement Danny discusses the critical role humans play in design, particularly for creating effective marketing assets that convert customers. 04:27 Critiques of Current Marketing Strategies Danny critiques the common approach of saturating listings with visuals, arguing for more thoughtful design that resonates with customers. 06:32 Why DesignLoop is Free Danny explains his motivation for offering DesignLoop for free, focusing on supporting sellers and enhancing the overall industry. 10:42 Demonstration of Outputs Danny demonstrates the capabilities of DesignLoop, showcasing the assets generated and discussing the process behind creating effective videos. 24:14 Pacing and Dynamics in Video Creation Danny elaborates on the aspects of pacing and dynamics in video production, emphasizing their significance in delivering impactful content. 49:39 Final Thoughts on Automation Danny wraps up by discussing the future of automation in design and the importance of retaining a human element for quality outcomes.

Two weeks after Allison Mercer introduced me to cross country running, I found myself signing up for the Montana Cup — an annual, statewide, adult cross country throwdown where Bozeman, Missoula, Billings, and the rest of the Montana cities go head-to-head for glory.In this episode, I talk about my first hard 5K in twenty years, how I tried to re-train my calves after the Appalachian Trail, and whether my 35-year-old self can outkick my 14-year-old PR. Spoiler: probably not.But that's not all — I also recap my Halloween weekend crewing at Javelina Jundred, where I became the self-proclaimed Ice Daddy, lost a costume contest as a horse, and ended up pacing a stranger to his first 100-mile finish while dressed as Santa. Because of course I did.There's a life hack, a shout-out to my sponsors, a Blue Jays World Series dream, and an announcement for the return of Month of Jeff and the Jeffrey Awards.So grab a coffee (CS Coffee, obviously), lace up those Janji shorts, and join me for another chaotic, slightly overcaffeinated episode of the Free Outside Show.Chapters00:00 The Montana Cup and Cross Country Racing02:41 Post-Appalachian Trail Recovery and Training05:55 Halloween Race Experience and Costumes11:25 Pacing a Runner and Celebrating Success14:07 Life Hacks and Upcoming EventsSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside
