Summary:   Can love really be quantified? In this enlightening episode of Higher Density Living, Zoey Charif reveals how heartbreak and data led her to design the groundbreaking Love Formula. From spiritual growth to psychological clarity, discover how compatibility, self-love, and purpose can be measured and mastered. Tune in and transform your understanding of relationships through the lens of consciousness and calculated connection.   Overview:   What if your most painful breakup held the key to unlocking your highest potential in love? This episode explores that profound question through the eyes of Zoey Charif, an Afghan-born, Vancouver-raised analyst turned relationship alchemist. After enduring cycles of unhealed romantic patterns, Zoey transmuted her emotional pain into purpose by crafting the “Love Formula”—a method to assess compatibility based on values, traits, and emotional intelligence.   Jason Rigby and Zoey dive into how trauma, distorted self-worth, and cultural expectations can shape our relationship choices unconsciously. Zoey's approach doesn't eliminate emotion—it elevates it. Listeners will learn how to calculate their “Self Score,” identify top values, and consciously match with a partner whose score complements their own. From admiration as a foundation for love to understanding why purpose heals, this episode bridges the analytical and the ethereal, offering spiritual seekers a method to love wisely and fully.   Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction to Love and Self-Awareness 02:39 Personal Insights and Self-Discovery 05:30 The Love Formula Explained 08:25 Understanding Compatibility and Attraction 11:07 The Role of Purpose in Relationships 13:59 Navigating Emotions and Impulsivity 16:45 Mismatch Relationships and Their Consequences 19:26 Celebrating Success in Relationships 22:10 Addressing Insecurities and Communication 25:00 The Impact of Trauma on Self-Worth 27:22 Understanding Toxicity in Relationships 30:25 Identifying Imbalances in Partner Dynamics 33:00 The Role of Self-Confidence in Relationships 37:35 Exploring Personality Types in Relationships 43:10 The Importance of Boundaries 48:50 Recognizing Deceivers in Dating   Quotes: “You can admire your partner without losing yourself.” – Zoey Charif “Our emotions are primal. Our choices are divine.” – Jason Rigby “Love isn't luck. It's clarity, courage, and calculation.” – Zoey Charif   Takeaways: Self-awareness is crucial for healthy relationships. The Love Formula helps measure compatibility scientifically. Understanding personal values can improve relationship choices. Attraction should not overshadow compatibility in relationships. Purpose in life can enhance relationship satisfaction. Emotions can cloud judgment; clarity is essential. Mismatched values often lead to relationship breakdowns. Celebrating each other's successes strengthens bonds. Jealousy often stems from insecurity and low self-worth. Recognizing toxic patterns can prevent future heartache.   Resources:

David then shares his vision for the future of gutzy Organic, and his commitment to inspiring healthier lifestyles.Takeaways:gutzy Organic focuses on gut health through delicious snacks.The journey to gut health began with personal health struggles.Reformulating products to dial in taste and texture is crucial for market success.Organic ingredients enhance product appeal and quality.Gut health is a growing concern in the US and worldwide.The pouch format was chosen for on-the-go convenience.Prebiotic fiber is essential for gut health, which aids overall wellness.Balancing protein and fiber is key for a healthy diet.David's past CPG experience helped him grow gutzy Organic.Sound bites:“It actually started with a business struggle that turned into a health challenge.”“I ended up going to see a herbalist and that's when I discovered the power of plants and the power of gut health to heal my body.”“Gut health is such a big problem in the US, maybe worldwide.”“We worked with GoGo Squeeze to reformulate the product to make it more palatable, better testing, and scalable.”“It's part of the journey, like the up and down and the learning curves and the pivot and the adjustment, right?”“Only one in 10 Americans eat the five a day of fruit and veggies that people should be eating.”“Only one in 20 actually meet the daily fiber requirement.”“So it's like super delicious, a little bit of sweetness from natural sugars from fruits and veggies, no added sugar in it and also extra clean deck of ingredients. We don't even add coloring or flavoring in our products.”“I call Acacia the queen of prebiotic, it's because it's the purest form that blends well, and doesn't call bloating and gas.”“It's very hard to get a plant protein that doesn't have a chalkiness to it, so we use organic yellow peas because it's sustainably grown in the U.S., clean, and easy to blend.”“At Quorn and GoGo Squeeze I learned how to build a new category and create awareness.”“You think you have a business plan and then reality starts and it takes a lot longer than you think.”"Building a brand takes time and money.""Less is more in the food industry."““The Stoic Sage, or wise man, needs nothing but uses everything well; the fool believes himself to “need” countless things, but he uses them all badly.”— Donald J.

In this conversation, Dan Frommer, founder and editor in chief of The New Consumer, discusses the complexities of consumer behavior, particularly in relation to food choices. He explores the dichotomy between what consumers say they want and what they actually purchase, emphasizing the influence of technology, marketing, and generational differences. The discussion also touches on the challenges posed by ultra-processed foods and the importance of real food in promoting health and well-being. Throughout the conversation, Frommer shares insights from his research, highlighting the need for education and understanding in navigating consumer trends.Takeaways:Understanding consumer behavior is crucial for effective marketing.There is often a gap between what consumers say they want and what they actually buy.Food choices are influenced by technology and social media.Generational and gender differences play a significant role in food preferences.Education about food and health is essential for consumers.Surveys can provide valuable insights but have limitations.Real food is preferable to ultra-processed options for health.Trust in institutions is declining, leading consumers to rely on influencers.Personalization in food choices is becoming more important.Gratitude and mindfulness can enhance consumer satisfaction. Sound bites:“The healthiest foods that make people also the happiest are grapes, blueberries, and broccoli.”“Chocolate makes Gen Xers happier than any other product makes any other generation in all our research.”“I'm really interested to see companies finding ways to help people to make food choices that are not only considered smart on a macro level, but are the right thing for them personally.”“Younger people believe that grocers, online grocers especially, have a responsibility to recommend healthy food.”“Ultra-processed foods, a great example of something where people have very strong opinions about it, but don't actually know what they are.”“It's very hard to get Americans to agree on anything, but something that both Democrats and Republicans agree on in our research is that the government should be doing more to regulate ultra processed food than it has in the past.”“There's increasing awareness around seed oils. Some people are convinced that they are toxic and that they are killing Americans and making us all have terrible health. Other people, including scientists, are saying that is nonsense.”“The US is not in a recession, but most people think it is. So what do do about that?”“The people who are buying the cheapest, least environmentally friendly stuff are also the ones who are saying that they are more willing to go out of their way and spend more money for the environment.”“I think if we all just ate more real food, I think that would probably have a better outcome for so many different elements of the food chain of our health, wellness, etc.”Links:Dan Frommer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/fromedome/The New Consumer - https://newconsumer.com/The New Consumer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/newconsumer/The New Consumer on X - https://x.com/newconsumerThe New Consumer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/newconsumerConsumer Trends: Food Feelings Matrix - https://newconsumer.com/2025/05/consumer-trends-food-feelings-healthy-happy/Consumer Trends: Food & Wellness 2025 - https://newconsumer.com/2025/03/introducing-the-consumer-trends-2025-food-wellness-special-report/How Americans really think about seed oils, Poppi & Olipop, and MAHA - https://newconsumer.com/2025/03/how-americans-really-think-about-seed-oils-poppi-olipop-and-maha/Consumer Trends: Beauty Special 2025 - https://newconsumer.com/2025/04/introducing-the-consumer-trends-beauty-special-2025/…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radioChapters:03:00 Understanding Consumer Behavior05:59 Food Feelings: Happiness vs. Health08:58 Gender and Generational Differences in Food Preferences12:10 The Role of Technology in Food Choices15:04 The Impact of Ultra-Processed Foods18:02 Consumer Awareness and Education20:49 The Future of Food Consumption23:58 Cultural Shifts in Food Perception37:13 Raising Awareness on Food Safety38:04 The Complexity of Defining Health39:26 Evolving Perspectives on Nutrition41:01 Influencers vs. Experts in Health42:57 The Fragmentation of Media and Trust47:16 The Debate on Seed Oils48:47 Consumer Behavior vs. Intentions53:14 Using Research Effectively59:10 Personal Insights and Recommendations01:06:10 The Importance of Real FoodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Discovering Grayslake: A Deep Dive into Community Safety with Chief Jeff Myhra Welcome back to "Discovering Grayslake," your go-to podcast for all things related to our beloved community. After a two-year hiatus, we're thrilled to bring you an insightful episode featuring Jeff Myhra, the Chief of Police of Grayslake. In this episode, we delve into Chief Myhra's journey in law enforcement, his connection to the community, and valuable tips for ensuring safety in our town. Whether you're a long-time resident or new to Grayslake, this episode offers a wealth of information to help you stay informed and engaged. Meet Chief Jeff Myhra: A Journey from Aspiration to Leadership Early Aspirations and Career Path Chief Myhra's journey in law enforcement began with childhood aspirations inspired by his grandparents, immigrants from Norway. His early interest in becoming a police officer was solidified during a career day at school, where a police officer's presentation left a lasting impression. After high school, Myhra joined the military, which provided him with the opportunity to further his education through the GI Bill. He attended the College of Lake County, earning his degree while working at Menards in Fox Lake. From Community Service Officer to Chief of Police Myhra's career in law enforcement started with a community service officer position in Grayslake. His dedication and work ethic quickly earned him a full-time position as a police officer. Over the years, he has held various roles within the Grayslake Police Department, including investigator and sergeant. His passion for investigations and commitment to community service have been the driving forces behind his successful career. The Evolution of Grayslake: Reflections on Community Changes Transformations Over 26 Years During his 26 years of service, Chief Myhra has witnessed significant changes in Grayslake. He recalls the days when local establishments like Carmine's and Pat's Pizza were prominent and praises the vision of village managers and trustees who have worked diligently to enhance the town's appeal. The landscape of Grayslake has changed dramatically, making it unrecognizable compared to what it was decades ago. Staffing and Community Safety The Grayslake Police Department currently has 31 designated officers, with a few part-time officers to fill in gaps. Rather than focusing solely on population numbers, the department prioritizes call volume and response times to ensure effective service to the community. This practical approach contributes to the town's financial stability, as they avoid unnecessary debt. Common Issues and Practical Advice for Community Safety Opportunistic Crimes and Preventive Measures Many crimes in Grayslake are opportunistic, often stemming from residents forgetting to lock their car doors or leaving keys inside their vehicles. Chief Myhra emphasizes the importance of simple preventive measures, like locking doors, to reduce crime rates. Identity theft is another concern, particularly with the rise of online scams, which sometimes require federal intervention. The Importance of Community Engagement Chief Myhra believes that police work is fundamentally about serving the public and providing excellent customer service. He stresses the importance of listening to the community's needs and building trust between law enforcement and residents. The department aims to foster compliance through education rather than generating revenue through tickets, reflecting a philosophy that prioritizes community trust and cooperation. Personal Insights and Community Connection Balancing Work and Family Life Chief Myhra reflects on the challenges of balancing his career with family life, especially as a father of four. He acknowledges the stress of working in major crime investigations, which often require long hours and can be emotionally taxing. Despite these challenges, he emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong work ethic and being present for his family. Personal Interests and Hobbies Outside of his professional life, Chief Myhra enjoys the outdoors, including hunting and fishing. He recently took up guitar lessons at the age of 45, highlighting the importance of continuous learning and personal growth. His love for the outdoors and fascination with Bigfoot add a personal touch to his professional persona, allowing the community to connect with him on a more personal level. Practical Tips for Community Safety Parental Guidance and Technology Chief Myhra emphasizes the importance of parental vigilance in keeping children safe. He advises parents to stay engaged and aware of their children's activities, especially as they spend more time on their devices. Using apps like Life 360 to monitor children's whereabouts can be helpful until they are old enough to manage their own phones. Navigating Online Transactions Safely With the growing trend of online transactions through platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Chief Myhra advises conducting such transactions at the police department, where there is always some level of surveillance and personnel available. He encourages community members to be cautious and to trust their instincts when dealing with potential buyers or sellers. Payment Safety Tips For smaller purchases, Chief Myhra prefers cash, while for larger transactions, he recommends using cashier's checks or money orders to ensure safety. He expresses caution about digital payment methods, as they can sometimes lead to complications or disputes. Conclusion: Fostering a Safe and Engaged Community This episode of "Discovering Grayslake" provides valuable insights into the challenges of modern parenting, the impact of technology on safety, and practical advice for community members to enhance their personal and collective security. Chief Myhra's dedication to the community, commitment to transparency, and focus on proactive policing strategies highlight the values that underpin the Grayslake Police Department. As we continue to navigate the complexities of modern life, staying connected, informed, and vigilant is more important than ever. We encourage you to engage with your local officers, recognize their hard work, and perform random acts of kindness to foster a supportive and engaged community spirit.
