JP Dinnell reflects on his experience at Origin Immersion Camp and the deeper lessons he took away about growth, discomfort, faith, fatherhood, leadership, and brotherhood. The conversation explores why intentionally doing difficult things can accelerate growth, why we never truly "arrive," and why the people around us can encourage and support us—but eventually, we have to take the step ourselves. JP also shares the powerful story of his daughters facing their fear and jumping from a cliff into cold water, connecting the moment to faith, courage, and the responsibility of becoming the person God created you to be.

Jeep Talk Show – Tragic Oregon Jeep Discovery, California's Tire Ban (2029/2033), Shopping Cart Roundtable & More Well hey Jeepers, welcome back to another jam-packed episode of the Jeep Talk Show with Tony and Josh. We open on a somber note with the recent discovery of a crashed 2005 red Jeep Wrangler off Highway 6 in Oregon's Tillamook area. Loggers/ODF personnel found the vehicle (linked to a September 2025 missing persons case out of Beaverton) along with skeletal remains believed to be those of Eddie Hair (Hare) and Scott Smith, both in their late 60s. Official identification is pending (dental records/personal effects), but the registration and circumstances point strongly to the two men who never returned from an outdoor/wheeling trip. We discuss the tragic accident angle, the "red Jeep curse" running joke since 2020, and some classic banter about James Dean and why red Jeeps seem to stick in people's memories. Then we dive deep into California's brand-new Replacement Tire Efficiency Program (approved by the CEC in mid-August 2026). Starting with tires manufactured on or after January 1, 2029, replacement passenger and light-truck tires sold in California must meet a maximum rolling resistance of roughly 9.0–9.1 N/kN (with a minimum wet-grip requirement). Phase 2 tightens it further to about 7.1–7.2 N/kN beginning January 1, 2033. Industry estimates suggest this could eliminate ~70% of current tire models from California shelves. Listener voicemails follow (including DR in Utah checking in after a long absence and sharing updates on the Jeep Scrambler/IFS talk plus personal notes, and Nicky G with a string of classic dad jokes). Then it's Round Table time: When (and why) do you put the shopping cart/basket/buggy back? Tony fires off a rant about free labor and shaming stickers; the crew (Glenn, John Lee, Rick, Bob, Travis and others) share honest takes ranging from "always, respect/karma/old-school raising" to "only if it's right next to me—I'm not working for the store." Robots, Walmart in-home delivery, and future trail-side parts robots even make an appearance. We close the "F*CK You, You F*CK" segment with a heated takedown of drivers who come to a near-complete stop to turn into a strip-mall, Burger King, or driveway—white-knuckle, wedding-cake-in-the-trunk style. Pit maneuvers and cow-catcher fantasies ensue.

In the mid-1930s a group of New York Yiddishist intellectuals established the Central Jewish Library and Press Archive, whose collections became the nucleus of the YIVO Library when the Institute relocated from Vilna to New York in 1940. Over the succeeding decades, the Library grew by leaps and bounds, thanks to the dedication of its librarians and supporters. It emerged as a “collection of collections,” absorbing the extensive personal libraries of prominent Yiddish writers, scholars, and book collectors. Crucially, after 1945 the Library also recovered large portions of the Vilna YIVO's prewar holdings along with thousands of rabbinic works from Vilna's Strashun Library. Throughout its history, the YIVO Library has been a beehive of scholarship and bibliography, which has been fostered by such outstanding figures as Mendl Elkin and Dina Abramowicz. In this presentation, Zachary M. Baker will offer some personal reflections on the legacy that the YIVO Library's founders and builders have left behind.

Welcome to episode #1046 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Dr. Liane Davey has spent her career helping leaders and teams perform at their best. As an organizational psychologist, bestselling author,  trusted advisor to companies around the world and dear friend, she has long explored what separates high-performing teams from those that quietly struggle beneath the surface. Her latest book, Thoughtload - Manage The Madness And Free Your Team To Do Great Work, introduces a deceptively simple but powerful idea: the biggest challenge facing today's organizations isn't workload... it's thoughtload. While most leaders focus on reducing tasks and increasing productivity, Liane argues that the real drain on performance comes from the invisible cognitive, emotional, and energetic burden people carry every day. In this conversation, we explore why organizations have become obsessed with measuring outputs instead of outcomes, how constant urgency creates the illusion of productivity while undermining effectiveness, and why many of today's workplace frustrations... from endless meetings to return-to-office debates to AI-generated "work slop"... are symptoms of a much deeper problem. We also discuss what thoughtful leadership looks like in an era of intelligent machines, why collaboration breaks down when people are cognitively overloaded, and how AI might eventually become a tool for reducing thoughtload rather than amplifying it. More than a conversation about burnout or workplace wellness, this is a discussion about attention, focus, judgment, and what it will take to build organizations where people can once again do their very best work. Liane is also the author of You First and The Good Fight and have been a guest of this show countless times. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 51:58. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

In this episode of Kimberly's Italy, Kimberly and Tommaso take a deep dive into the history, myths, and personal stories surrounding Italy's most beloved dish: pizza. Key Points: The Universal Appeal of Pizza: Pizza is a global phenomenon, with 3 billion pizzas sold annually in the United States and a similar production rate in Italy, despite the massive difference in size between the two countries. From ancient flatbreads like the Roman “penne focaccias” to the Greek “plakos,” the concept of topped dough is a universal cooking instinct. The History of the Tomato and Neapolitan Origins: We examine the arrival of the tomato in the 16th century and why it was initially viewed with suspicion by the locals. Napoli in the 1700s served as the true birthplace of pizza, where it emerged as a necessary, affordable street food for the impoverished “Lazzaroni” population. We look at the rise of the first sit-down pizzerias, including the historic Antica Pizzeria Port d'Alba, which is still in business today. Episode Highlight: Pizza Myths and Naming: We share the popular legend of Raffaele Esposito creating the Margherita pizza for Queen Margherita of Savoy in 1889. Records suggest these flavor combinations existed decades earlier, proving that in Italy, every story has multiple versions. We clarify the origins of the “marinara” pizza, which, contrary to popular belief, is not named for seafood, but for the sailor's wife who prepared it. Personal Reflections and Memories: Kimberly and Tommaso share their formative experiences with pizza in Chicago and New England, from visits to the original Pizzeria Uno to local spots that were central to their youth. We discuss the transition from making homemade pizza in the U.S. to enjoying authentic Italian options in their new home. Looking Ahead: We conclude this episode by noting that the conversation is far from finished. Join us in the next episode as we explore the savory evolution of pizza and examine the diverse regional styles you might encounter on your next trip to Italy.

How can a company have the right numbers and still reach the wrong strategic conclusion?In 2017, Volkswagen's chief executive mocked Tesla as one of the “world champions of big announcements.” At the time, Volkswagen sold roughly eleven million cars a year, while Tesla sold fewer than eighty thousand. The facts supported the criticism, but the conclusion missed the change already underway.That moment explains why Elon Musk remains worth studying.Most public discussion focuses on his personality, political views, wealth, or communication style. This episode takes a different approach and examines the methods that allowed him to enter industries dominated by governments and large corporations, pursue ideas that initially appeared uneconomic, and force entire markets to reconsider what could be built.The starting point is Eric Jorgenson's The Book of Elon, which brings together more than two decades of Musk's interviews, speeches, podcasts, and public writing. Jorgenson has already done the first stage of the work by reducing a vast archive to the statements that best explain how Musk thinks about purpose, engineering, talent, production, and company building.Because the book is itself a quote summary, I treated it as raw material rather than as a conventional biography.I selected seven recurring principles and tested them against more than 25 years of my own company-building experience. That includes six years in public-market M&A and two decades building biopharma and medtech companies from Series A toward IPO across more than seven company journeys. I also draw on several Musk biographies, years of long-form podcast interviews, and his public writing on X.The result is not another biography, and it is not an argument that every founder should copy Elon Musk.It is a practical framework for founders, CEOs, board members, investors, scientists, and senior executives who build or finance hard companies.The central question is straightforward:What can you copy from Elon Musk without copying the personality?The episode examines why utility matters more than glory, why important companies often have to build before market permission arrives, and how first-principles thinking exposes opportunities that remain hidden when an industry accepts precedent as fact. It also explains why strong teams delete complexity before they automate it, why positive-sum founders enlarge markets instead of fighting over a fixed share, and why talent density matters more than headcount.The final principle brings everything together. A prototype may attract attention and capital, but the company only creates lasting value when it can produce, learn, improve, and scale faster than its competitors.This distinction matters in life sciences and deep tech, where strong science can still fail during translation. A molecule may work while manufacturing, clinical execution, reimbursement, financing, or commercialization remain underdeveloped. The same problem appears in industrial technology, energy, AI, and robotics, where an impressive demonstration can conceal a production system that will never support scale.Three statements from the book frame the discussion:“How many people you helped, and how much. That's the total utility.”“The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist.”“What really matters is the machine that builds the machines, the factory.”Taken together, the seven principles form a founder test.For investors, they provide a structured way to assess mission, judgment, cost discipline, team quality, and the ability to scale. For company builders, they offer practical questions that belong in financing discussions, board meetings, and leadership offsites.Are you building something useful enough to change customer behavior?Does the team reason from fundamental constraints, or does it repeat the industry's assumptions?Are you simplifying the company, or automating bureaucracy?Can the organization turn promising technology into a repeatable system that produces real customer value?Whatever your opinion of Elon Musk, dismissing the method because you dislike the man can become an expensive mistake. The personality remains optional, while the principles deserve serious examination.Choose one of the seven and bring it into your next board meeting.Chapters(00:00) Introduction: Why the market keeps underestimating Elon Musk(03:31) The Big Idea(08:13) Eric Jorgenson and why he is the right author(10:47) Lesson 1: Build for Utility, Not Glory(16:39) Lesson 2: Missionary Courage Beats Market Permission(21:28) Lesson 3: First Principles Reveal Hidden Upside(25:59) Lesson 4: The Algorithm: Delete Before You Optimize(31:09) Lesson 5: Grow the Pie: Reject Zero-Sum Thinking(35:57) Lesson 6: Talent Density Is the Company(40:54) Lesson 7: Production and Speed Are the Real Moat(45:46) The Seven Practical Takeaways(51:55) Personal Reflection, Critique, and ClosingSend us Fan Mail Join Christian Soschner for expert coaching. 50% Off - With 35+ years in deep tech, startups/scaleups, and public companies, Christian offers power video sessions.

As I wrap up Season 8 of The Modern Crone podcast, I realise that the stories of my incredible guests…have changed me! Not only because of their courage, resilience and sheer willpower…Not only because of the powerful testaments their experiences give on the strength of the human spirit…Not only because they remind us that ‘hardship' and ‘challenge' are relative…But because they have expanded my understanding of TRANSFORMATION itself. I hope you enjoy my personal reflections.Love,Dani

So content creation from the ground up.”“I'd never heard of regenerative farming. So it was really my daughter that kind of tuned me into it.” “In this instance, the farmer is really the artist, the farmer is the rock star.”“The film that was named after our work, Kiss The Ground, absolutely put our organization on the map.”“We need to meet people where they're at. We need a content approach that can bring new people into the conversation instead of arguing about the details.”“There are now 200 regenerative products on shelves ranging from Costco to independent retailers across the country.”“The $500,000 in grants went across 212 farms, and when we look at their acreage that's being converted very conservatively, it's 73,000 acres."“Your $100 donation will help transition more than 10 acres of land.”“Our inspirational storytelling that reached 20 million people last year and engaged 5 million by engaged.”"Wherever you are, that's the place to be.”Chapters03:00 Introduction to Kiss the Ground and Evan Harrison09:00 Evan's Journey from Media to Regenerative Agriculture15:06 The Impact of the Kiss the Ground Film20:50 Content Strategy and Audience Engagement27:12 Supporting Farmers: Grants and Community Engagement38:40 Momentum in Regenerative Agriculture42:43 Partnerships Driving Change47:27 Innovative Fundraising Strategies50:49 Personal Reflections and Advice54:35 Creating a Better WorldLinksEvan Harrison on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/evanharrison/Kiss The Ground - https://kisstheground.com/Kiss The Ground on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/kisstheground/Kiss The Ground on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kisstheground/Kiss The Ground on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kissthegroundCA/ Kiss The Ground on X - https://x.com/kissthegroundCAKiss The Ground on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/kisstheground…Kiss The Ground 2026 Research: https://kisstheground.com/kiss-the-ground-research-2026/Forbes Article: Regen Grows 3X in 3 Years -https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewwatman/2026/06/18/new-kiss-the-ground-research-consumer-understanding-of-regenerative-agriculture-triples-in-past-three-years/…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_radio…The Food Institute - https://foodinstitute.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Light Inside, host Jeffrey Besecker welcomes Ben Oofana for a deep dive into the complexities of relational ambiguity, separation, and unresolved grief. They discuss how these emotional states can activate older attachment patterns, leading clients into cycles of connection-restoring emotional rumination that mimic repair but often result in reactivation of past traumas. The conversation emphasizes the importance for clinicians to formulate care strategies when clients are driven by grief, shame, longing, or relational threats. By understanding these dynamics, therapists can help clients move beyond fixed narratives and reclaim their agency, differentiation, and adaptive contact. Tune in to explore these transformative insights and more.Timestamp00:00:00 - Introduction to The Light Inside00:00:22 - Relational Ambiguity and Emotional Rumination00:01:10 - Mint Mobile Advertisement00:02:24 - Early Attachment Learning and Emotional Rumination00:03:28 - Clinician's Role in Addressing Rumination00:04:06 - Ben Ofana's Background in Somatic Therapies00:05:57 - Early Relational Patterns and Their Impact00:09:08 - Transition from Implicit Learning to Narrative Identity00:12:04 - Psychological Arousal and Relational Misinterpretation00:14:08 - Emotional Processing and Cognitive Understanding00:17:12 - Slowing Down and Holding the Field00:19:14 - Relational Dynamics and Overextension00:21:00 - Personal Reflections on Emotional Saturation00:24:44 - Fear of Loss and Desperation in Relationships00:25:55 - Constructive Work with Rumination00:28:26 - Clinical Takeaways and Interventions00:31:22 - Overthinking and Cognitive Cycles00:34:09 - Healing Process and Letting Go of Unhealthy Attachments00:35:26 - Relational Contact and Boundaries00:38:27 - Personal Experience with Anger and Guilt-Shame Cycle00:40:27 - Core Childhood Patterns and Activation00:42:43 - Emotional States and Relationship Dynamics00:44:02 - Biological Flooding and Regulation00:45:19 - Skills for Deactivating Emotional States00:46:51 - Insight and Internal Change00:48:09 - Attunement and Empathy in Therapy00:50:10 - Client Awareness and Emotional Processing00:52:11 - Tracking and Metabolizing Bias in TherapyCreditsHost: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest:Ben OofanaExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.What if many of the secondary behaviors we label as “seeking safety” are actually attempts to restore coherence at the deeper primary level?Developmental and attachment research suggests that before children can reason about trust, risk, or safety, they are learning through load, responsiveness, attunement, and the capacity of caregivers to regulate environmental demands.

Most startups don't fail from lack of ideas. They fail because people quit too early—or play it too safe. Graham Hobson built a €100M business starting with a simple frustration: printing photos of his kids. What followed wasn't a smooth growth curve—it was years of uncertainty, near failure, and painfully slow progress. In this conversation, we unpack the real psychology behind building something that lasts. Not hustle. Not hacks. But resilience, emotional insight, and the ability to keep going when the rewards are invisible. Graham shares how surviving the dot-com crash shaped his thinking, why hiring for values beats hiring for talent, and how the most successful businesses often start with deeply human problems. Reframe uncertainty as a normal part of meaningful progress Focus on emotional value, not just functional output Build resilience by solving problems, not avoiding them If you're building something—or thinking about it—this episode will change how you measure progress.

Season 15, Episode 397 revisits research and real-world practice showing movement is more than fitness: it activates the brain, boosts attention, enhances learning, and sustains motivation. Dr. Chuck Hillman's studies reveal how even short bouts of exercise light up brain activity, while Paul Zientarski's Naperville program demonstrates how heart-rate monitoring and purposeful movement improve readiness, recovery, and academic performance. In EP 397: Movement, Motivation, and Brain Activation with Dr. Chuck Hillman and Paul Zientarski, we explore why movement may be one of the most powerful tools we have for improving brain function, learning, motivation, and performance. In this episode, we cover: ✅ Why most children are not meeting the recommended daily physical activity guidelines and what we can do to change that. ✅ How exposing children to a variety of activities helps them discover movement they enjoy—and are more likely to continue throughout their lives. ✅ Why there is no perfect exercise program, and why the best exercise is the one you'll consistently do. ✅ How enjoyment, reward, and dopamine reinforce healthy habits and keep the Motivation Loop repeating. ✅ What Naperville Central High School learned from heart rate monitoring and how recovery impacts performance. ✅ Why peak performance requires both effort and recovery. ✅ How exercise changes the brain, improving attention, learning, memory, and cognitive performance. ✅ The groundbreaking research behind Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain and how it changed the way educators think about learning. ✅ Why movement is not a break from learning—but one of the most effective ways to prepare the brain for learning. ✅ How movement fits into our Phase 2 Motivation Loop, helping transform motivation into action and sustaining long-term performance. The biggest takeaway? Movement isn't just exercise. It's activation. It's preparation. It's performance. When we move our bodies, we activate the brain systems responsible for attention, learning, motivation, and success. The episode highlights practical takeaways: expose children to varied enjoyable activities, prioritize consistency over intensity, use movement as cognitive preparation, and track recovery to protect motivation. Movement becomes a bridge between motivation and sustained performance—improving focus today and long-term brain health tomorrow. Welcome back to Season 15 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and on this podcast, we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience so we can create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. Movement, Motivation, and Brain Activation with Dr. Chuck Hillman and Paul Zientarski This week, we continue our journey through Phase 2: Neurochemistry and Motivation, where we've been exploring one central question: What drives sustained effort and forward movement? So far, we've learned that motivation begins with belief and meaning from Bob Proctor[i], is shaped by our thought patterns with Dr. Caroline Leaf,[ii] strengthened through attention and reward with Dr. John Medina[iii], and powered by the brain's dopamine-based motivation system through Dr. Anna Lembke's[iv] work. But today, we arrive at a fascinating question: What happens when we actually move? Because motivation isn't just something that happens in the mind. The brain was designed to work in partnership with the body. And according to our review of today's two guests, one of the most powerful ways to activate attention, learning, memory, and motivation is through movement itself. This week we're revisiting insights from two pioneers whose work helped transform our understanding of movement and learning. First, Dr. Chuck Hillman, one of the world's leading researchers on exercise and brain function, whose groundbreaking research has shown how physical activity improves attention, executive function, learning, memory, and academic performance from EP 123[v] back in April 2021. Next, we will review Paul Zientarski, the former Physical Education Coordinator and football coach at Naperville Central High School, (In Illinois) whose work with the school's innovative Zero Hour PE Program helped put Naperville on the map for extraordinary academic achievement. Alongside his colleagues at Naperville, Paul demonstrated that exercise wasn't simply improving fitness—it was preparing students' brains to learn. Together, Dr. Hillman provides the science, while Paul Zientarski helps to demonstrate what that science looks like in the real world. Their combined work shows us that movement is far more than a physical activity. It is a powerful tool for activating the brain, enhancing learning, improving focus, and supporting the motivation needed for sustained performance. In other words, movement is the bridge between motivation and sustaining our performance. Let's dive in with Dr. Chuck Hillman and discover the science behind The Power of Movement and Brain Activation. CLIP 1: Getting Kids Moving for Life Summary In this clip, Dr. Chuck Hillman highlights a growing concern: the vast majority of children are not meeting the recommended physical activity guidelines. Current recommendations suggest that children should engage in at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity each day, including aerobic exercise and activities that strengthen bones and muscles. Dr. Hillman explains that the challenge isn't simply knowing the guidelines—it's finding ways to engage children in movement when many adults aren't meeting the recommendations themselves. This is why childhood is such an important time to expose young people to a wide variety of physical activities, helping them discover forms of movement they enjoy and can continue throughout their lives. Key Takeaways ✔ Most children are not getting enough physical activity. Many young people fall short of the recommended 60 minutes of daily movement needed for optimal physical and cognitive development. ✔ Movement supports both brain and body health. Exercise is not just about fitness—it supports attention, learning, memory, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. ✔ Children need exposure to different activities. Not every child will enjoy the same sport or activity. The goal is to help them discover movement they genuinely enjoy. ✔ Parents and adults model behavior. Children are more likely to be active when the adults around them value and participate in physical activity. ✔ Early habits can last a lifetime. The activities children enjoy today often become the healthy habits they carry into adulthood. Tips to Implement Expose Children to Variety

Susie describes why the man who popularized climbing Everest claims he never meant to do that, why he thinks people should climb in a different way, and why it's much easier to scale the highest mountain now than a few years ago. We find out what Sarah thinks is the number one horror film ever made. We discuss twins who don't share a father, and why it raises questions about identity and personhood. We learn the difference between Western runners and the Kenyan and Ethiopian runners who dominate the sport, and the reasons they are defying the "science" of running and still winning marathons and setting world records.

What happens when the poorest people on earth get access to the richest content in the world? In this solo episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius shares what he observed in rural Tanzania, including rising rates of domestic violence, substance abuse, and unwed mothers, and the surprising correlation that local nonprofit workers on the ground have tied it to: smartphones and social media. For the first time, people with very little are now watching people with everything, and the psychological fallout mirrors what we see in the Western world more than anyone wants to admit. Darius also revisits his own "compare despair" moment after meeting Elon Musk backstage at South by Southwest in 2018, where, despite running a multi-hundred-million-dollar company, he walked away feeling like a failure. The lesson? Comparison is a global disease, and the antidote is not competition. It is partnership, purpose, and learning to measure yourself against yourself.
