Caring for a parent with dementia is one of the most challenging experiences a person can face. What happens when that aging parent is also a difficult person? This adds a heavy layer to an already complex situation. Furthermore, how do you handle a difficult personality when their memory is failing? The physical and emotional toll can be immense. In addition, caregivers often feel isolated and alone. They struggle with their own grief and exhaustion. Meanwhile, they are asked to provide constant care for a particularly difficult loved one. We explore this unique caregiving challenge. This episode dives into one caregiver's raw and honest story. He found a path forward. Ultimately, his journey shows that finding peace is possible, even in the most challenging circumstances. Our Guest: Josh Hickman Josh Hickman is a writer and visual artist who grew up in various parts of Texas. His education included studying painting and sculpture at the Booker T. Washington High School for Performing and Visual Arts and writing and film at the University of Texas at Austin. The author of seven books and numerous articles, short stories, and poems, he lives and works with his dog Sammy in Dallas, Texas.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, real estate investors! Scott Carson here, bringing you another special episode that's all about making money move. Today, we're heading to the true heart of north Texas – Fort Worth (sorry, Dallas) – to chat with one of our note investing rockstars, Brian Dills. This part-time investor is still rocking his full-time gig in education but is building a killer cash flow portfolio, one sweet performing note at a time!Brian's journey is a masterclass in evolving your investing strategy. He started in property management, built and sold a successful company (a feat many just crash and burn!), and even dipped his toes into being a realtor. But it was note investing that truly moved the needle, especially after he "paid the tuition" on a tricky Pennsylvania deal – a valuable lesson that shifted his focus to the steady rhythm of performing notes. Now, he's got a gem on his hands, and you're getting an inside look!Here's what makes this Fort Worth performing note a true Texas-sized opportunity:A-List Asset, Prime Location: Dive into the details of a single-family, first-lien deed of trust in a desirable Fort Worth zip code, boasting a conservative market value of nearly $200,000.Borrower Commitment is King: Discover why the borrowers' history of consistently overpaying to catch up makes this a low-risk, high-reward scenario – they're serious about keeping their home!Sweet 8% Passive Return: Learn how you can plug your idle capital (hello, Self-Directed IRA!) into this deal for a solid 8% interest-only return over 24-36 months, with Brian still banking nearly $300/month in cash flow.Equity Cushion & Texas Speed: Understand the massive equity gap, making this a super secure investment, and why Texas's fast foreclosure laws offer an extra layer of protection (though the goal is always win-win!).The Power of Consistency: Hear how Brian sourced this "in-his-backyard" deal through consistent networking on LinkedIn, proving that showing up and following up works to find off-market opportunities.This isn't just about a single deal; it's a blueprint for building passive income, leaving the rat race, and becoming AI-searchable (if you've been listening!). Brian is living proof that consistent effort and a laser focus on cash flow can get you where you want to go. If you're looking to fund this gem or other future deals, reach out to Brian at brian@heritagefinancialholdings.com or call him directly at (682) 203-7789. Don't let your money sit on the sidelines when you can earn an above-average return and help a fellow investor succeed. Go take some action, everybody – and we'll see you at the top!#NoteInvesting #RealEstateInvestor #PerformingNotes #FortWorthRealEstate #TexasInvesting #PassiveIncome #SelfDirectedIRA #CashFlow #RealEstateDeals #InvestorMindsetWatch the Original VIDEO HERE!Book a Call With Scott HERE!Sign up for the next FREE One-Day Note Class HERE!Sign up for the WCN Membership HERE!Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!Love the show?

Why good communication requires presence, not performance.Effective communication isn't about perfecting your performance. According to Dr. Kate Mason, it's about being powerfully present.Mason is a world champion debater, executive communication coach, and author of the book Powerfully Likable. In her work coaching senior executives to communicate more effectively, she emphasizes that it's not about creating a performative persona, it's about uncovering the authentic communicator you already are. “The coaching is just bringing the real parts of you to the fore,” she says, “uncovering rather than totally building from scratch. A lot of people come to me and say, I need to be more warm or more insert adjective here. And I say, I'm not gonna help you be more warm if that's not what's coming naturally to you. I am gonna help you work out the thing you're already doing, the thing you're already saying, how to make that comfortable for people around you.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Mason and host Matt Abrahams discuss strategies for more present communication. From avoiding "imposing syndrome” to reducing “the delta between your real self and that corporate persona,” Mason's insights explore how we can bring more of our true selves to the table.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kate MasonKate's Book: Powerfully LikeableEp. 210 First Impression to Lasting Impact: Use Status Strategically Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:32) - Why Confidence Is the Wrong Goal (03:55) - Bridging Your Real and Work Selves (05:27) - What Is Imposing Syndrome?

What does it really mean to stay connected to your singing voice—especially in quiet seasons, when you're not practicing, performing, or making much sound at all? In this episode, we explore what actually counts as singing for singer-songwriters, and how creativity and voice remain present even when the voice goes quiet. If you're in a slower season, returning after a break, or feeling unsure how to stay connected to your voice right now, this episode offers reassurance, permission, and a gentle reframe. We talk about the many forms creativity can take, including listening, writing lyrics, exploring meaning through words, creative cross-training, and rest. You'll be invited to see silence and stillness not as a loss, but as an essential part of the creative cycle—like the rest in music that allows the next sound to emerge. If you're longing to reconnect with your singing voice without pressure, judgment, or performance, you're in the right place.

Blues to headlining her own million-dollar Vegas residency, Big Juliet redefined what it meant to be a female entertainer in a male-dominated era. Little Juliet takes listeners behind the scenes of her research journey — discovering a red suitcase of letters, interviewing former collaborators, and piecing together the life of a woman who never waited for permission to shine.The discussion unpacks the discipline, athleticism, and business savvy that made Juliet Prowse one of the highest-paid performers of the 1970s, plus stories of her engagements to Sinatra, her friendship with Elvis, and her unstoppable work ethic that kept her dancing until her final days.This episode is perfect for dancers, musical-theatre artists, and history-minded creatives who want to learn from one of the greats — and be reminded that success is built on grit, artistry, and courage to create your own opportunities.Shownotes:(0:00) – Welcome & introduction to Juliet Prowse interview(3:00) – Little Juliet shares the story behind her famous name(13:18) – Discovering a red suitcase & inspiration to write Born to Dance(16:00) – Big Juliet's early Hollywood years & Vegas debut(21:03) – Athleticism, costuming, and Bob Mackie's extravagant designs(25:39) – Breaking barriers: creating her own Las Vegas show(31:22) – The million-dollar Desert Inn contract & Vegas legacy(36:29) – Life, love & rumors — Sinatra, Elvis, and beyond(41:23) – Performing through illness & leaving a lasting impact(1:03:00) – Lessons for today's dancers: hard work, creativity, & legacyBiography:Juliet Prowse never intended on becoming an author, but when she spotted a little red suitcase in her parents' attic, filled to the brim with articles about her famous aunt, the dancer/entertainer Juliet Prowse, she felt she just had to tell this story.As a seasoned communications professional, Juliet was used to writing, but to ensure the authenticity of her first book, Juliet waded through over 1 000 newspaper articles and letters, largely written by her dancing aunt to her mother (the author's grandmother), and spoke to over 20 people who had performed with Juliet. Known as Big Juliet and Little Juliet in the Prowse household, Little Juliet inherited her aunt's athleticism and became a South African runner, but she was never as graceful as her famous aunt who was born to dance.Juliet has an MBA from the University of Cape Town and a science degree from the University of Nebraska.

You've mastered leadership. But speaking what's actually true for you—especially when it's uncomfortable? That's the edge this episode is for. There have been seasons where Celinne couldn't fully speak her truth. In a ceremony with 40 witnesses, she was forced to dig to the depths of her being and speak the words rising in her chest. The vibration of that truth didn't just shift her—it shifted the entire room. In this episode, Celinne shares the hidden cost of self-silencing, the physical sensation of truth that demands to be spoken, and what happens when you have the courage to speak even if your voice shakes. You'll learn a simple practice for excavating your truth for authentic leadership, how to recognize when you're performing instead of transmitting, and why one soul feeling less alone is sacred impact. ON THIS EPISODE: 00:01 Discover the courage to speak even when your voice shakes 06:24 Witness the visceral impact of speaking truth to 40 people 08:46 Learn why we teach what we're most here to learn 16:01 Explore the hidden cost of self-silencing as self-abandonment 20:01 Understand why we're not afraid of being judged—we're afraid of being understood 01:13:41 Recognize the permission you give others when you stop performing 01:19:06 Practice the hand-on-heart method to excavate your truth KEY IDEAS: ✨ Truth has a physical sensation: When truth rises through you, it creates pressure in your chest—speak it or suffocate. Self-silencing is a form of self-betrayal that compounds over time. ✨ Performing vs transmitting: Performing is speaking from your head, ego, and strategy. Transmitting is speaking from your heart, soul, and the depths of your being. The room feels the difference. ✨ Sacred impact over metrics: You don't need a million likes. You need one soul to feel less alone because of what you said. Leadership is one person at a time, not follower counts. Celinne Da Costa is a podcast host, author, and coach for leaders navigating 'I've made it—now what?' She guides them to redesign their next act: more meaningful, more aligned, more fun... and led by their soul's truth. Website | LinkedIn | Substack | Instagram | Facebook p.s.

2025 didn't ask for transformation, it demanded it. For me, that meant shedding so many layers of protection and armor to let myself be truly seen. In today's episode, we go deep on the difference between performing vulnerability and actually letting someone in. Because you say you want intimacy…but are you actually bringing your vulnerability, or are you throwing it like a weapon and calling it connection?

In this episode, Danielle Mcgeough, professor, speaker, and transformation strategist, joins me to dig into the cause of performing happiness and how we heal. Want to work with Remy?

Hint: It's right in the belly of the beast and we want to see you there. All will be revealed soon. And just when we thought the trans madness was dying in the UK, we discover that the Dr Frankensteins/Mengeles of the world are alive and well in that country's National Health Service. They want to recruit 250 humans for gender experiments.Oh but don't worry, these patients/victims will be at least at the ripe old age of 10, and totally understand what they're in for. Of course they can give informed consent. Not. Watch the Scoop this week to hear about the latest attack on children whose bodies are being destroyed on the altar of progress. And our home country of Ireland is constantly proving that it is the most anti-Semitic country in Europe.

What happens when a life in climbing spans five decades, multiple eras, and some of the most surprising moments in outdoor history?In this episode, legendary climber Russ Clune takes us inside the world that shaped him: the Shawangunks (“the Gunks”) of the 1970s and 80s — an unlikely counterculture just two hours from Manhattan where artists, dirtbags, misfits, and pioneers built the early soul of American climbing.Russ shares rare, behind-the-scenes stories from his incredible career, including:• Competing in a government-run climbing event in Cold War Russia Painted red lines on limestone cliffs, leather-gloved belayers, Soviet stadium crowds, and a Wyoming cowboy becoming a national hero overnight. It's a chapter of climbing history almost no one has heard.• The quiet era of “competitive free soloing” in the Gunks Russ recounts the friendly, unspoken one-upmanship among friends that culminated in his iconic solo of Supercrack. A moment that revealed both the power and limits of the mind — and marked the end of his soloing career.• What longevity really looks like at 66 Not superhuman strength — but consistency, humility, curiosity, and the ability to redefine performance as the decades unfold.• How to stay connected to your sport when your body changes Russ talks openly about becoming the belay anchor instead of the rope gun, and why aging in climbing can feel meaningful in its own way.

If you want to get leaner and live longer check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com   Is diabetes truly a life sentence, or can you reverse it without relying on drugs like Metformin or Ozempic?   I talked with Chris Reade, who discovered a serious health condition after a life insurance exam. His A1C went from normal to a high 9.1 in 10 months because of visceral fat around his pancreas. Doctors told him this disease was progressive and incurable, but Chris refused that sentence. He researched and found a simple strategy focused on using soluble fiber to control blood sugar spikes. This method forces weight loss naturally by providing bulk, reducing hunger, and mitigating the effect of sugar. His approach involves practical, everyday systems like habit stacking and focusing on food volume to give control back to the individual.   Key Takeaways Type 2 diabetes is caused by the accumulation of visceral fat (more than a gram or two) on the pancreas, which hinders its function. It has been known since the 1970s that you can absolutely reverse diabetes. Losing more than 10% of your body weight causes the body to pull fat off the pancreas, leading to the reversal of Type 2 diabetes roughly 80% of the time. Soluble fiber, found in foods like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, oatmeal, and chickpeas, slows digestion and absorbs sugar, mitigating blood sugar spikes. By focusing heavily on soluble fiber, you feel very full all the time, which is a key mechanism for effortless weight loss and managing cravings. Performing even a small amount of exercise, such as two to five minutes of walking immediately after a meal, can knock blood sugar down by up to 25%. The current medical model for treating diabetes in the U.S. is structured to promote dependency on medication, making diabetes prevention and remission less of a focus.   Resources Website: https://www.beatingdiabetes.us Book: Beating Diabetes by Chris Reade. https://www.beatingdiabetes.us/the-book Instagram: @beatingdiabetesus https://www.instagram.com/beatingdiabetesus LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/beatingdiabetes/   Nate Palmer: The founder of The Million Dollar Body and author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been coaching for over 15 years and has worked personally with over 1,000 clients.

High performance without alignment leads to burnout and emotional exhaustion. This episode shows you how identity shifts happen in the body, not the mind — and how to live from truth instead of performance. A gentle, embodied recalibration.If you've ever wondered why you continue showing up as the strong one — even when you're tired, even when you know better, even when your spirit is asking for something gentler — this episode is for you.This week, we've been uncovering the identity story beneath high performance: the role you learned to play in order to be safe, chosen, or loved. Today, we move from awareness to embodiment.Because identity does not shift through insight alone. Insight is the invitation. Embodiment is the acceptance.Your nervous system has been loyal to the identity that once protected you. It isn't resisting growth — it's guarding belonging. This is why performance patterns feel so automatic, even when they no longer fit.In this episode, we explore:• Why your body keeps choosing the familiar (even when it's draining) • How safety — not self-discipline — is what allows identity to shift • The real marker of transformation: staying with yourself in the moment you would have abandoned yourself • How to live from your truest identity now, without collapsing your life or losing your excellenceThis is not mindset work or behavior management. This is Identity-Level Recalibration — the root-level shift that makes every other tool effective again.Today's Micro RecalibrationWhen you feel yourself slipping into performance mode, pause for one breath. Hand to ribs or abdomen. Ask gently: “Am I choosing from fear or from truth?” Don't fix. Don't correct. Just notice. Noticing is becoming.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Washington High School for Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, TX, later studying writing and film at the University of Texas at Austin.   A national award-winning journalist, his previous comic novels and short story collections include Through Tick & Tinn: The True Story of the Greatest Unknown Comedy Team Ever Known, Five Slices of Fear: A Connoisseur's Hoagie of Horror, Ambergris, The Kinfolk: Cult of Sex & Cheese, I Am Luney: The Untold Story of the World's Naughtiest Man, and Songs in the Key of H: Tales of Irony and Insinuation.   He has also produced three albums of spoken-word/music "word-jazz" albums, A Handful of Love, Something for the Ladies, and This House Is Haunted.

High performers often fear that if they stop performing, they'll lose success. In this episode, learn why that fear exists and how to shift into a way of succeeding that doesn't cost your peace, your presence, or yourself.Many high-capacity humans hold a quiet fear:If I stop performing, I'll lose everything I've built.Because for so long, success has been defined as up and to the right — more impact, more producing, more proving. When your spirit begins craving stillness, spaciousness, or a different way of being, it often feels like failure.This episode reframes that fear.You do not need to abandon your excellence to step out of performance.The shift is not to do less — the shift is to do what you do from who you truly are.We explore how identity memory shapes the nervous system and how performance patterns are not signs of weakness, but signs of loyalty to the identity that once kept you safe. When your system receives evidence that it is safe to be your truer self, success becomes something deeper, more grounded, and more aligned.We look to Vera Wang, who did not reinvent herself — she returned to herself. Her path reminds us that growth doesn't always look linear. Success doesn't always look like acceleration. True expansion begins when you stop leaving yourself behind.This is where Identity-Level Recalibration comes in — not as a mindset tactic or behavior hack, but as the root-level shift that allows you to succeed without abandoning your spirit.Micro Recalibration (Today)When you feel the pull to perform or prove, pause.Place your hand low on your abdomen and say:“I can remain powerful and let my spirit breathe.”Not a correction. A permission.Team / Leadership ExtensionAsk in your next planning or check-in conversation:“Are we choosing this because it looks like progress — or because it feels like alignment?”This restores clarity, presence, and integrity.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.
