summary In this conversation Dr Naomi Murphy and David Jones meet with Dr. Coral Westaway and explore the world of energy psychology, its techniques like EFT, and its integration with traditional psychology. She shares her personal journey, the importance of holistic health, and how energy work can transform mental health practices. Dr Coral Westaway is a Clinical Psychologist and Energy Psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience at the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and holistic health. Known as The Energy Psychologist, she brings together doctoral - level clinical training with energy psychotherapy, conscious connected breathwork, and body practice; creating a bridge between mainstream psychology and the energetic and spiritual dimensions of our lives. Coral's work is rooted in a simple but radical belief: that the body holds our truth, and that real transformation happens not just in the mind, but through the whole system. Her own journey with stage 3+ colon cancer in 2021 deepened this understanding profoundly, and now informs everything she does.

These are the helpers who understand their patterns intellectually but find they cannot shift them at the level of the body and energy.

His family lost everything—their home, savings, and even his Star Wars toys were confiscated. By 13, he was fleeing across Europe, eventually finding asylum in the U.S. thanks to policy changes under the Reagan administration. The Immigrant's Fire: Why Hunger Beats Talent Bernard shares how working in pizza shops to pay for college while never attending a single basketball game or spring break fueled his relentless drive. His biggest fear? That his own children would have to experience the same survival mode he did. A Forgotten Iran: When Faith United, Not Divided Before the revolution, Iran was a secular, democratic society where Christians, Muslims, and Jewish Persians celebrated each other's holidays. Bernard recalls watching the Israeli national soccer team play in Tehran—proof that the region once thrived on coexistence. The Music That Saved Him (And the Record Exec Who Said No) Music was therapy for Bernard. He taught himself guitar on a left-handed Fender, wrote 22 songs, and almost got signed by Polygram—until an A&R guy told him, “I can't sell this face to the MTV generation.” Instead of giving up, he kept playing on weekends for decades. Breaking My Allegiance: A Song Against Weaponized Faith Bernard's first official single, releasing this Friday, is a rock anthem born from his experience with the Iranian regime. It's not against faith—it's against using religion to justify oppression. The song's message: *“If that's what your religion is, I'm breaking my allegiance.”* The Immigrant's Oath: Integrate, Follow Rules, Be Grateful Bernard offers a powerful perspective on immigration: he never hid his roots, but he worked tirelessly to learn English, pay taxes, and contribute. His advice to new immigrants? “If you want to chase a better life, respect what this country has to offer.” Show Notes 2:35

Trust isn't a soft skill. It's a discipline.In this powerful conversation, Charles Good sits down with Dr. Dennis Reina and Dr. Michelle Reina, the pioneers of behavioral trust research and authors of the new masterwork The Art of Trust Building, to break down what trust really is, how it's built, how it breaks, and how leaders can rebuild it stronger than before.For over three decades, the Reinas have shown organizations that trust is not a personality trait or a poster value. It is a set of specific, observable, measurable behaviors and that means it can be coached, scaled, and transformed at every level of leadership.In an era of hybrid work, accelerating AI integration, and constant organizational change, the informal proximity-based trust-building of the past no longer works. Leaders today must build trust intentionally, one behavior at a time. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN✔ Why 90% of trust breaks are subtle, unintentional — and avoidable✔ The Three Dimensions of Trust®: Character, Communication, and Capability✔ How to measure trust in your team — and what shocks leaders when they see the data✔ The everyday habits that quietly erode Trust of Character✔ Why most leaders overestimate their own communication transparency✔ How over-control and "rescuing" signal capability distrust✔ Self-trust: the overlooked foundation of every trustworthy leader✔ The Seven Steps for Healing® — the path from breach to repair✔ How small ripple-effect behaviors cascade through entire organizations✔ Why trust is the currency that powers change — especially in the AI era✔ The role of specific, grounded gratitude as a trust-building practice✔ The one daily question every leader should ask themselves tonightIf you lead people, at any level, this conversation will reframe what leadership actually requires.ABOUT THE GUESTSDr. Dennis Reina & Dr. Michelle ReinaCo-founders of Reina Trust Building® and authors of the foundational Trust and Betrayal in the Workplace (1999) and the newly released The Art of Trust Building. Their research has shaped how Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and global organizations understand and operationalize trust.

In this video, I'm joined by Dr. Grace Hamman to discuss how Medieval Christians approached spiritual formation. We give special attention to their understanding of virtue and vice, exploring how that might help enrich our modern approaches to the Christian life. We also talk about how to read medieval theologians wisely, and what to do with some of the more extreme examples of piety that might make us uncomfortable today.

Long Beach mayoral candidate Chris Sweeney says his campaign is rooted in lived experience, small business advocacy and a “boots on the ground” approach to city leadership.During a recent appearance on The Jackie Rae Show, Sweeney discussed his journey from Long Beach State track athlete to entrepreneur, detailing years of financial hardship before launching Right Mealz, a Long Beach-based meal prep company that now works with major sports organizations, including FIFA, AEG and professional sports teams.“I've always been a person of service,” Sweeney said while reflecting on donating meals during the COVID-19 pandemic and organizing wildfire relief efforts earlier this year.Sweeney said public safety, homelessness and support for small businesses are among his top priorities. He criticized what he described as a difficult and overly bureaucratic permitting process for business owners and said the city should streamline approvals to help fill vacant storefronts across Long Beach.On homelessness, Sweeney called for more accountability and transparency within the city's shelter system, including improved tracking of available shelter beds and expanded reformative programs focused on addiction treatment and long-term stability.Sweeney also emphasized increasing engagement between city leadership and residents, saying elected officials should be more visible in neighborhoods and more responsive to community concerns.“This city built who I am today,” Sweeney said. “I failed in this city. I've gotten back up in this city. … I'm you.”#LongBeach #LongBeachMayor #ChrisSweeney #JackieRaeShow #LongBeachPolitics #Election2026 #CaliforniaPolitics #LongBeachNews #LocalPolitics #CommunityLeadership #MayorRace #LongBeachCalifornia

A foot of stormwater in your home, and a contractor saying "Let's dry it in place?" That was the scenario explored in Courtney Makris' PLRB Presents talk "When the Storm Hits Home: Courtney's Personal Journey through Hurricane Helene," and today Mike & Brennan will look at that scenario through the lens of the Categories & Classes of water, with the help of a PACE Program exercise. Notable Timestamps [ 00:06 ] - The episode introduces a real-world water loss scenario tied to a major storm, highlighting how widespread damage and contractor recommendations can complicate mitigation decisions for adjusters. [ 01:05 ] - The discussion draws from a hurricane case study and shifts focus to how water "categories" and "classes" relate to the standards guiding mitigation decisions. [ 04:24 ] - Water losses are a major focus in claims education, covering issues like pipe breaks, backups vs. overflows, and wind-driven rain—showing how varied and complex water damage scenarios can be. [ 05:11 ] - Not all water is equal; category classifications depend on contamination levels, meaning the source and exposure history of water directly impact risk and required remediation. [ 06:02 ] - Category 1 water can be clean and sanitary, Category 2 introduces contaminants that may cause illness, and Category 3 can be highly hazardous, often containing toxic or pathogenic substances. [ 07:25 ] - Practical examples like dishwasher discharge illustrate how the same appliance can produce different water categories depending on whether the source is incoming clean water or outgoing waste. [ 10:36 ] - Even seemingly clean sources like rainwater can shift categories based on contact with materials or time sitting stagnant, emphasizing that context and exposure matter. [ 12:20 ] - Floodwater is nearly always Category 3 due to contamination from ground contact and stagnation, making it especially dangerous despite common public perceptions. [ 14:46 ] - Water "class" differs from category by focusing on how much water is present, how deeply it's absorbed, and how difficult it is to dry. [ 19:01 ] - Mitigation strategies vary widely: clean water may allow simple drying, while contaminated water often requires removal of materials like drywall and insulation.

My guest today is Sergey Levine, a professor at UC Berkeley and co-founder of Physical Intelligence. The company is building robotic foundation models designed to control any embodied system to do any task in any environment. Sergey argues that solving robotics at full generality is the right path, and that building systems that learn across many robots, environments, and tasks may be the more scalable approach than building narrow specialists. We discuss how these models can perform new tasks without being trained on them directly, and why everyday human actions remain the hardest problems in the field. He also reflects on how human trust and acceptance may matter as much as technical breakthroughs in determining when robots become part of daily life. Please enjoy my conversation with Sergey Levine.
