If you think of cardiovascular blood flow as just a background bodily process, this episode will completely change your perspective. Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes back the brilliant Cathy Eason, MS, BCHN, for a masterclass on one of the body's most critical signaling molecules. With her deep expertise in human nutrition, physiology, and translating complex biology into clinical insights, Cathy reveals why nitric oxide is a foundational pillar for women navigating perimenopause and beyond. The conversation dives into a powerful, yet often overlooked, concept: that cardiovascular blood flow is our power source. Cathy explains how declining nitric oxide production, which naturally begins to drop around age 40, directly impacts everything from energy levels and brain fog to hormone balance and cardiovascular resilience. She details the fascinating connection between our oral microbiome, dietary nitrates from leafy greens, and our body's ability to create this vital compound. Listeners will gain crucial education on the direct link between nitric oxide, blood pressure regulation, and heart health—a critical topic for women, as heart disease remains the number one killer. Cathy also unveils exciting insights into how supporting this pathway can influence other hallmark menopausal experiences, including sleep disturbances, temperature dysregulation, and even sexual wellness, by enhancing tissue perfusion and nervous system balance. This episode is a compelling call to focus on this fundamental aspect of our biology for both immediate symptom relief and long-term vitality.  Find out more about Nitric Oxide at berkeleylife.com!

Day 1,446.Today, in a rare public outburst against the Trump administration, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accuses the United States of “backtracking” on the so-called Anchorage Agreement, under which Washington allegedly agreed to pressure Ukraine into ceding parts of the Donbas that Russian forces have failed to capture after nearly four years of war. We examine President Zelensky's comments suggesting that a new White House peace deadline may be linked to Donald Trump's US midterm election campaign, and report on how Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is seeking to leverage the war in Ukraine to shore up domestic political support. And later, we speak to the former commander of US forces in Europe, retired Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, about the state of the war and how prepared Europe and NATO are for a potential Russian move on the Suwałki Gap.ContributorsDominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.With thanks to Lieutenant General (Retired) Ben Hodges (former commander of US forces in Europe). @general_ben on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

How the world views Mother Eve is how the world views women. Doctrine from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that Eve was intelligent and courageous, that she understood that partaking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil was the only way to put into motion the plan of our Heavenly Parents which allowed each of us to come to earth. So, she is revered and seen as an equal to Adam, unlike how she is often seen in many other spaces throughout the world. From this perspective though, our whole understanding and reverence for Eve shifts and this shift also changes our ideas about what it means to be a woman and the significance of it.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1264: As the NADA Show wraps, we zoom out on what actually mattered, from a shift in how dealers are thinking about AI, to deeper vendor partnerships, to how dealers are thinking about Chinese vehiclesShow Notes with links: As the dust settles from another packed NADA Show, some of the most meaningful takeaways weren't about flashy announcements, but mindset. Liza Borches shared reflections on leadership, partnerships, and why this year's conversations felt more practical — and more ready for action.“AI is a strategy conversation, not a tool conversation. It's less about adding new technology and more about using AI to help us solve problems and connect the tools and partners we already have.”“Partnership matters more than ever. Our vendor partners aren't just providers — they're collaborators helping us build better experiences for our customers and teams. The integration that our key partners are not just willing to do but excited to do is a gamechanger.”The idea of selling Chinese vehicles in the U.S. split the room at NADA. Dealers openly acknowledged the profit opportunity, even as trade groups and some store owners warned about subsidies, nationalism, and long-term consequences for American retail auto.Presidio Group president George Karolis said dealers are conflicted: “A majority of the dealer respondents saw it as a threat and opportunity — both… the vehicles are really good, slick and more affordable.”Several dealers privately said if Chinese OEMs solve affordability, politics won't stop them from sellingCable Dahmer Automotive Group owner Carlos Ledezma took a pragmatic stance: “If that's what the consumer is looking for, then we are going to have to pay attention to that.”NADA CEO Mike Stanton was blunt on policy: “It's bad for our industry, it's bad for our country, it's bad for consumers,” while still conceding NADA wouldn't block dealers from adding Chinese franchises.Ford Blue president Andrew Frick captured the dealer mindset: “It's hard for a dealer not to look at that as an opportunity for them as an entrepreneur.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Erik Nordstrom and Eric Strom share how surviving the 2008 crash shaped their approach to partnerships, underwriting, and in-house property management.In this episode of RealDealChat, Erik Nordstrom and Eric Strom of Iron Ridge Capital break down what nearly two decades of investing together has taught them about real estate, relationships, and risk.We start with Erik's early exposure to apartment syndication and the decision to bet on commercial real estate just before the Great Financial Crisis. From living through 2008–2009 to swinging hammers on their first six-unit deal, Erik and Eric explain how that painful period forged discipline that still guides every deal they underwrite today.The conversation dives deep into why partnerships often fail, how they handled the awkward conversations upfront, and why trust, communication, and clearly defined roles matter more than deal structure. We also explore why they ultimately brought property management in-house, how that decision nearly doubled NOI on one property, and why most third-party managers are structurally misaligned with owners.On the operations side, they share lessons from growing to 48 employees, bootstrapping without corporate debt, navigating layoffs and pay cuts transparently, and building a culture that people choose to stay in. We wrap with a candid look at today's market cycle, distress driven by bridge debt, and why Iron Ridge is positioning aggressively for the next 12–24 months.This episode is a masterclass in patience, vertical integration, and building a real estate business that survives bad markets—not just good ones.

“You can't build wealth without building relationships.” In this episode, Rayna Mike shares her incredible journey from mortgage banking to owning and operating more than 1,000 multifamily units valued at over $20 million. With 25+ years in real estate, Rayna explains how she transitioned from single-family homes to multifamily syndication, the lessons learned from her first capital raise, and why partnerships built on trust and integrity drive her success. She also reveals how she uses education, consistency, and genuine care to attract investors, and why 2026 will be a defining year for those ready to seize once-in-a-decade opportunities in multifamily and mobile home investing. This conversation delivers timeless wisdom for investors and entrepreneurs seeking both financial growth and long-term impact.

Dr. Gupta's journey is a compelling story of transformation, moving from a childhood marked by chronic illness and over-reliance on antibiotics to discovering profound healing through her heritage and Ayurvedic medicine. This personal quest led her to deep academic and practical exploration of Ayurveda, culminating in a Ph.D. focused on turmeric and the development of her pioneering approach.

At the Guitar Center Foundation, music is treated as a shared resource rather than a luxury. During this conversation at the NAMM Show 2026, Michelle Wolff, representing the Foundation, explains how access to real instruments can change the trajectory of a student, a patient, or a veteran simply by making music possible in the first place.The Foundation's work centers on donating thousands of instruments to schools, hospitals, and veteran centers, with a focus on communities where funding for music programs is often the first thing cut. Through a structured grant process, organizations apply for instruments quarterly, with roughly 150 requests reviewed each cycle. About 30 of those requests are fulfilled, helping sustain programs that might otherwise disappear.Beyond instrument donations, the Foundation is expanding how it shows up in communities. Plans include live donation events that bring instruments directly into schools and hospitals, often paired with artist participation to create meaningful, memorable moments. New donor and ambassador programs are also taking shape, designed to broaden awareness and bring more voices into the mission.Partnerships play a major role in that effort. The conversation highlights recent collaboration tied to the 100 Billion Meals initiative, where music, visual art, and social impact intersect to amplify multiple causes at once. These partnerships extend the Foundation's reach while reinforcing the idea that music can support broader humanitarian goals.Wolff also shares a personal connection to the mission. As a former vocal performance major at the University of Texas Butler School of Music, she understands how deeply musicians identify with their craft. After experiencing vocal injury herself, she speaks to the importance of supporting musicians through change and helping them build identities that extend beyond a single instrument, without losing music as a core part of who they are.That perspective brings the Foundation's work full circle. Access to instruments is not only about creating future professionals. It is about expression, resilience, and giving people the chance to discover what music can mean in their own lives.Part of ITSPmagazine's On Location Coverage at NAMM 2026.

What does it take to create a beautiful and safe relationship? In this episode I am revisiting combining two analogies I've used before, the bucket analogy and the relationship circle, and I'm calling it the Relationship Bucket. How do we fill this bucket up? Who is responsible for filling it? What things will fill it? Is how women fill it different than how men fill it? All of these questions and more are part of our discussion today.

Send us a text Ep 272 -- In this jam-packed gossip dump, I'm breaking down the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion part 3 tea starting with Dan Cosby reaching out with exclusive information about Mary Cosby's TLC docuseries and exposing every single business that funded her money from church members. Then I'm getting into Bronwyn Newport being spotted alone and disheveled at Sundance—plus why I believe her Todd Bradley marriage storyline was fake from the start—and wait until you hear what I discovered about Todd's new investment firm Niobrara Capital where he's partners with Mike Pompeo, Trump's former Secretary of State and CIA Director. The reunion recap covers Heather Gay being outed for allegedly sharing pills, Whitney Rose's suspicious marriage troubles, Brittani Bateman's antisemitism drama with Meredith Marks, and why Meredith is having her Camille Grammer moment calling out production. I'm also revealing tea on Lisa Barlow and Heather both allegedly working with finsta accounts—so why is only Lisa getting called out? Then we dive into the massive Epstein files drop where Elon Musk got exposed asking about the "wildest party" on the island despite claiming he refused invitations, Ghislaine Maxwell calling Prince Andrew "sweet pea" and him using the email name "The Invisible Man," Steve Bannon's hundreds of texts with Epstein, and a shocking Bill Gates draft email. I'm also reading you the explosive Congressional letter to Pam Bondi about Ghislaine Maxwell's five-star prison treatment including a puppy, room service, private CNN viewing, and unsupervised laptop access—plus disturbing whistleblower allegations of sexual abuse and retaliation at FPC Bryan. Finally, I'm introducing you to the Colleen Ballinger scandal and how this Miranda Sings creator allegedly had inappropriate relationships with underage fans including Adam McIntyre—this rabbit hole goes deep and involves some truly disturbing allegations about her inner circle. Full episode only available at Dishing Drama Dana Patreon,it's only $6.00 a month, join the fun! https://www.patreon.com/cw/DishingDramaWithDanaWilkeySupport the showDana is on Cameo!Follow Dana: @Wilkey_Dana$25,000 Song - Apple Music$25,000 Song - SpotifyTo support the show and listen to full episodes, become a member on PatreonTo send Dana information, show requests and sponsorships reach out to our new email: dishingdramadana@gmail.comDana's YouTube Channel

QUOTES FOR REFLECTIONSERMON PASSAGERomans 1:8-17 (ESV) 1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, 2 which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3 concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh 4 and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, 5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, 6 including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ, 7 To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world. 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you 10 always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— 12 that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine. 13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles. 14 I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. 15 So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”

This Follower Friday on The Green Insider spotlights the powerhouse UTSI podcast series and the cutting‑edge conversations shaping the future of OT. Mike Nemer and Shaun Six break down the latest in OT innovation, AI, security, and energy efficiency, while showcasing standout partners like Sequre Quantum, Siemens, BlastWave, and EdgeRealm. It's a dynamic deep dive into why OT cybersecurity is becoming mission‑critical for today's infrastructure leaders — and how collaboration, education, and next‑gen technology are driving the industry forward. UTSI Podcast Series Conclusion Final episode of a six‑part podcast series sponsored by UTSI International. Features reflections from Mike Nemer and Shaun Six (CEO, UTSI International) on relationships built during the series. Emphasis on OT cybersecurity as a core theme. Emergent insight: AI's environmental impact surfaced as an unintended but compelling storyline. Episode structure includes a brief series recap, a short CEO segment (8–10 minutes), and post‑production editing support. Critical Infrastructure Security Challenges UTSI's 40‑year history supporting critical infrastructure is underscored. Industry challenges highlighted: Talent shortage (≈5 engineers leaving for every 1 entering). Rapid increase in connectivity of critical infrastructure devices. AI positioned as a force multiplier for operators—but also a potential attack vector if data is exposed. Partnerships discussed: Sequre Quantum – quantum random number generators. BlastWave – insights into AI's dual role as defender and risk. Focus on showcasing technologies that secure operations and protect infrastructure from emerging threats. AI Data Center Energy Solutions Collaboration with Siemens (via Alyssa) on AI's impact on data centers. Key concerns: rising energy and water consumption driven by AI workloads. Edge Realm highlighted for improving energy density at the edge to reduce strain. Introduction of LeakGeek, a rapid leak detection and response tool. Work with EdgeRealm also addresses illegal hot tapping and oil theft, noted as more common than publicly acknowledged. OT Cybersecurity: Collaboration and Education Strong focus on securing operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems. Call for improved private–public collaboration and information sharing. Many cyberattacks go unreported to avoid reputational damage. Attack vectors increasingly include everyday devices (e.g., printers, fax machines). Ransomware incidents can cost organizations millions of dollars per day. Emphasis on educating boards and investors about OT cybersecurity risks and value. UTSI OT Cybersecurity Partnership UTSI's approach includes: Cloaking OT systems. Securing remote access. Improving visibility and auditability of networks. Recognition of sponsorship and education value of a six‑part cybersecurity series. Closing remarks focused on partnership, knowledge sharing, and raising cybersecurity awareness. A special shout out the guest in this UTSI podcast series, Paulina Assmann, Alissa Nixon, Tom Sego, Frank Stepic, and Robert Hilliker.

On this week's episode of The Business of Watches, we head to Nidau, Switzerland, where we sit down with Ben Küffer, the young Chief Executive Officer of family-owned watch brand Norqain. It's a frank discussion of the challenges of starting a brand and creating a signature watch–the Norqain Wild One–at a time when the industry is crowded with competitors, and it's tough to stand out. We focus on Norqain's unique strategy of recruiting former and current professional athletes as not only brand representatives, but also investors and executives. The big news is Norqain's deal to be the official luxury timepiece of the National Hockey League, an agreement guided by former NHLer and Norqain co-founder Mark Streit with some help from superstar and company investor Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins. We also discuss the surprise success of Norqain's 'Enjoy Life' Freedom 60 chronograph that struck a chord with consumers with its ice cream-themed colors and endorsement by Mark Wahlberg to become the brand's top-selling watch. Despite that success, and perhaps in a bid to play the scarcity card, Norqain now says it plans to discontinue the model, at least for now. But first, we're joined by TanTan Wang, who is back from Colorado, and some quality time with Oris's new Big Crown Pointer Date 'Bullseye.' We also talk about the recent headlines in the watch world, including the proposed sale of Richemont's Baume & Mercier to Italy's Damiani Group, as well as Omega's very commercial 300M diver, which it is launching for the Milano Cortina Winter Games. Show Notes 1:57 Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Bullseye 3:15 TanTan's essay and the fight against watch snobbery 3:47 Richemont Sells Baume & Mercier 5:43 Omega Releases A White Ceramic Seamaster 300M For Milano Cortina 2026 9:40 Norqain 10:22 Mark Streit 11:10 Norqain Scores Multi-Year Sponsorship Deal With NHL Aimed At Vaulting Swiss Brands To The Big Leagues 12:03 Sidney Crosby Partners With Watch Company Founded By Former NHLers (ESPN) 18:00 Talking Watches With Jean-Claude Biver 19:55 Norqain Wild One 20:25 BIWI SA 26:00 Hands-On with the Norqain Wild One (Fratello) 30:40 Hands-On With the Norqain Freedom 60 40mm Enjoy Life (Fratello) 35:55 Norqain Independence Skeleton Chrono 42mm 37:31 Swiss watch export statistics 39:44 Swiss watch industry employment 45:00 Stan Wawrinka 51:30 Norqain world and values

IWG (the parent company of Regus) just cold called you about turning your office building into a coworking space—and you have no idea how to evaluate their offer. This week, Jamie Russo breaks down exactly what landlords and building owners need to know before signing a management agreement with IWG, Regus, or any other operator offering a partnership model. Spoiler: they're not calling because your building is special. They're calling because you own a building. And that distinction matters—a lot. Jamie walks through the IWG partnership model, why they're pursuing landlords so aggressively right now, and the 13 critical questions you need to ask before even considering their offer. Because while IWG is incredibly good at sales, marketing, and designing efficient spaces, their incentives are not the same as yours. We talk about: Why IWG wants dots on the map—and what that means for your building How management fees work (and why they get paid even if you don't make profit) Why smaller spaces (under 15,000 sq ft) rarely work under a management agreement What happens if the space loses money—and who covers operating expenses The termination clause question you absolutely must ask How to evaluate demand assumptions, pricing, and occupancy ramp in their proforma Why you need to validate their numbers with a third party (and how to do that) When an IWG partnership might actually make sense What other options exist beyond IWG—and why you should explore them This episode is essential listening if you're a building owner considering flex, an operator who's been approached about a partnership, or anyone trying to understand how management agreements actually work in the coworking industry.

Today I sit down with two of my best friends, Moses Kagan and Rhett Bennett to reflect on how ReSeed has evolved since their first appearance (ep. 278) on the show three years ago.   ReSeed is on a mission to back the next generation of elite real estate operators. We unpacked what has actually happened since launch, how their original vision has held up in practice, and what they have learned by deploying real capital across multiple markets and operators.  We also dug into how they think about underwriting, operator selection, asset management intensity, and navigating a shifting multifamily landscape. It was a candid look at what it really takes to build a disciplined, long term real estate platform in today's market. We discuss: • How ReSeed's original thesis has played out after deploying over $100M across multiple operators • What they look for in emerging operators and how the cohort selection process has evolved • Why discipline and patience mattered during a slow deal environment and when opportunities finally opened up • How they approach underwriting, leverage, and long-duration capital in different markets • The realities of asset management, property management, and execution risk at smaller deal sizes This episode is for investors, operators, and anyone interested in building durable real estate businesses with long term alignment and disciplined capital deployment.

Zach sits down with David and Lisa, long-time partners and leaders in the escape room world, to explore what thousands of hours of collaborative problem-solving have taught them about communication, conflict, and teamwork. They talk about why escape rooms reward kindness over brilliance, why “being right” is a losing strategy, and how the habits that help teams escape under pressure are the same ones that help couples thrive in real life. From debriefing mistakes without blame to celebrating small wins—even when you lose—this conversation offers a surprisingly practical framework for building resilient, collaborative relationships. Key Takeaways Escape rooms reward communication and kindness, not intelligence or dominance The fastest way to lose—both in games and relationships—is trying to win alone Healthy teams normalize double-checking, feedback, and shared responsibility Conflict works best when it happens after the pressure, not during it Strong partnerships focus on learning from mistakes, not litigating them Celebrating small wins matters—even when the overall outcome isn't perfect Mutual respect and curiosity are foundational to long-term collaboration Guest Info David & LisaPartners in life and business, David and Lisa are leading voices in the escape room community. They have played more than 1,300 escape rooms worldwide, built a global community of players, and help people experience collaborative play through reviews, tours, and industry leadership. They are the team behind Room Escape Artist, a trusted resource for discovering high-quality escape rooms around the world, and they also run curated escape room tours that bring players together across cities and countries.
