Have you ever stayed somewhere too long? A habit you meant to break, a grudge you meant to set down, a version of yourself you meant to leave behind? Candace sits down with Jason Jackson Jr. for the fifth conversation of the season, and it opens with the story that changed his life: hearing Sadie Robertson tell the parable of the prodigal son on a college campus in 2019, right after he had walked through something that felt exactly like it. Jason opens up about the sibling rivalry that once had him dipping his fries in mustard just to be different from his brother—and how that same pride has shown up later in life. Pride keeps us in the pit, he says, and repentance is the only way out. He and Candace talk about how easy it is to drift, how much effort it takes to stay anchored, and why turning around is always the hardest first step. The listener questions this week reach across seasons of life. Ronnie wants to build a Bible-reading habit and doesn't know where to start. Georgia is tired of being hurt by friends and wonders whether people are naturally good. Martha asks how to let her adult children make their own decisions. How will Candace and Jason answer each one? For more from Candace, go to candace.com and sign up for email updates. This season's exclusive video series, Unfiltered Faith, is where Jason walks through the questions Christians are sometimes afraid to ask. You can find it at candace.com/together.

A child's future begins long before the first words, first steps or even the first smile. In the span of just 1,000 days, billions of neural connections are formed, and the foundation for lifelong health, learning, and resilience quietly takes shape. Pediatricians understand the critical nature of early development, and they translate that message to parents, helping guide, nurture, recognize risk and shape outcomes that can last decades.   To explore this fascinating time in a child's life, we are joined by two experts. Caroline Dias, MD, PhD, and Annie Helms, MD, both specialize in developmental and behavioral pediatrics here at Children's Hospital Colorado and are assistant professors at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Dr. Helms also leads the BLOSSOM Clinic at Children's Colorado.  Some highlights from this episode include: How small things can have the biggest impact in these 1000 days  The importance of supportive caregivers  The balance of nature versus nurture  Easing parent's minds that they aren't "doing enough"  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.      

Confession time. I was the kid with the "I am me, I'm ok" poster taped up in my room. I was desperate to feel confident and ok, and yeah, it's embarrassing, but it helped. My mom, who was a lot like Stuart Smalley (if you remember that SNL skit, the guy who looks in the mirror and reminds himself he's good enough, smart enough, and gosh darn it, worthy), encouraged me to hang it up after a devastating seventh grade experience. My own personal Mean Girls encounter. I had just started at a new junior high, and it felt like every rule of friendship and belonging got flipped upside down overnight. Everyone I was friends with landed on the red team. I got placed on purple. I was shocked by how brutal girls I once called my besties could be. And while I found new friends eventually, something else took root first. A belief that I needed to change. That I needed to fix myself. That belief followed me for years. It played out in my first marriage, until I had a shocking awareness and awakening. There was never anything wrong with me. There was only the belief that I wasn't cool enough, smart enough, pretty enough, whatever word fits for you. This week's episode is all about that exact fallacy, the idea that you need to fix yourself.  My guest Leonard Jacobson has had nine awakenings, and what he shares about presence and the truth of who you are is something I wish my 13 year old self could've heard..  I hope this one helps you remember there's nothing in you to fix. Ever. Friend, you are good enough, smart enough, and worthy of everything you desire. You always were. Period. Bio Leonard Jacobson is an internationally recognized spiritual teacher, author, and founder of the Conscious Living Foundation. For more than four decades, he has taught a practical path of awakening based on Presence, self-awareness, and conscious living. Since his first awakening in 1981, Leonard has shared his teachings with thousands of people around the world through retreats, workshops, books, and online programs. He is the author of seven books, including Words from Silence, Embracing the Present, Bridging Heaven & Earth, Liberating Jesus, Life Beyond the Ego, and In Seach of the Light, a children's picture book. His books have been translated into numerous languages.   Key Topics Leonard Jacobson's awakening journey The nature of God and oneness Practices for awakening and presence The role of the ego in spiritual growth Revealing the truth about Jesus and Christ consciousness The importance of responsibility and self-awareness in awakening   About Leonard Jacobson Leonard Jacobson is an internationally recognized spiritual teacher, author, and founder of the Conscious Living Foundation.

Elizabeth shares her progress in quieting her inner critic and finding joy in drawing flowers, while Helen reflects on how her graphic art diaries became a lifeline during some of her most challenging experiences.Together they discuss how artists have used uncertainty, chance, and disruption as creative tools, and how adapting to unexpected circumstances can open new pathways for self-expression.

If you listen to this podcast then you care about people and planet and how we make it through this potential crunch point when all our crises mash together. But what if you knew you were not alone? What if you knew that almost everyone in our culture cares about this, they just don't know what to do about it? They don't have what this week's guest, Dr Liam Kavanagh, calls the 'Victory Stories' to show how we made it through. Liam is a founding Co-Director of the Climate Majority Project, an organisation that has worked since 2022 to extend climate action beyond the vocal minority of activists to the concerned but quiet majority. His social science background informs CMP's theory of change and strategy. He began his career as an applied economist in New York and Tanzania. Motivated by questions about ideology and cognitive dissonance in political economy, he completed a PhD in Cognitive Science at the University of California, San Diego. In 2016, he co-founded Life Itself, a European polycrisis-response network (we spoke to Sylvie Barbier from Life Itself a few weeks ago), and has authored two books and numerous reports. His latest reports: Mobilising Silent Majorities is one of the must-reads of this year.  Please do download and read the pdf - at least the executive summary. This is a long, detailed, dynamic look at how many people really do care about the polycrisis. As he says, 'Across society, many people recognise serious risks—climate disruption, inequality, instability—but these concerns often stay private. The report identifies six “silent majorities” whose hidden views could shift what feels politically possible:The climate-concerned majority – Most people see climate change as a serious threat but rarely talk about it in daily life.The climate-concerned business majority – Business leaders see climate risks but hesitate to speak publicly.The reticent scientific majority – Scientists privately worry about worst-case scenarios but communicate cautiously.The decline- and collapse-concerned majority – Many fear overlapping crises, yet these concerns are rarely voiced.The depolarising majority – Citizens who favour cooperation over conflict are often drowned out by louder, polarising voices.The intrinsic-values majority – People prioritise family, community, and wellbeing, but economic pressures often prevent these values from guiding their lives.When concern remains unspoken, it appears weaker than it is. And when people feel alone in their worries, silence becomes the apparently safest choice.But it doesn't have to be like this.  What if we were able to speak up in our communities of place, purpose and passion and let other people know they're not alone? That we are, in fact, a huge, huge majority?  What if we were able to seed ideas out into the conversations that are happening on- and off-line so that we all acknowledge the system is not fit for purpose and all have good, workable ideas of how to fix it? What if we embodied the 'Victory Stories' of this time and transformed our future? It's all to play for now, and here's someone with the ideas at his fingertips.  Enjoy!

This week, Thomas sits down with Dharma teacher and author Kaira Jewel Lingo to explore how we can heal our deeply fractured relationship with the Earth and break out of the modern digital trance.Kaira shares her unique experience of transitioning out of monastic life as a nun and back into a fast-paced digital world. This experience gave her a unique perspective on how technology consumes our attention, and what's needed to reconnect to our relationships, ourselves, our spirituality, and the earth.She and Thomas discuss how face-to-face connection can help us reclaim our presence, why our global crises stem from our disconnection with nature, and what's needed for a collective re-awakening into an interconnected and embodied life that's defined by care and curiosity instead of an isolated existence fueled by exploitation and inattention.✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

 Tuberculosis is a difficult, infectious respiratory disease, and patients often have a low quality of life. Organizations like the ATS and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union) are looking to combat health inequities and support patient communities. However, due to recent funding cuts, future research on tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases are in jeopardy. Host Patti Tripathi and Executive Director of The Union Cassandra Kelly-Cirino, PhD, discuss the effect of these funding cuts and what it will take to continue supporting research and patients alike.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), a minimally invasive blood-based biomarker, has emerged as one of the most promising advances in cancer surveillance. Today, we will explore how ctDNA is transforming the management of colorectal cancer and anal squamous cell cancer across the disease continuum—from risk stratification and adjuvant therapy decision-making to surveillance and early detection of recurrence. Through landmark clinical trials, real-world applications, and emerging research, we will examine how ctDNA is helping move cancer care closer to the goal of truly personalized medicine.Hosts: ·       Dr. Janet Alvarez - General Surgery Resident at New York Medical College/Metropolitan Hospital Center·       Dr. Wini Zambare – General Surgery Resident at Weill Cornell Medical Center/New York Presbyterian·       Dr. Philip Bauer, Assistant Professor of Surgery, Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Arthur G.

Join Alli on Substack – https://wisewoman/ method.substack.com   Something different is happening this week on Smart Girl Summer. I'm in the chair. Ashley Collins, my chief of staff and a whole PhD holder (yes, I tease her about it constantly), has been quietly collecting the things I say when the mic is off: the coaching wisdom that never makes it to air, the personal stories I usually only share with clients, and the honest parts of building something for 20 years without a map. This episode is Ashley finally making me say those things out loud. This is part 1 of 2. We talk about 20 years of coaching women, what obedience actually costs, the one thing that keeps women from ever taking the leap, and how the Catalyst Mastermind came to be.   What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why do the same mindset obstacles that hold back first-time entrepreneurs also show up in surgeons and Fortune 100 leaders, and what Alli's job actually is in the room The biggest misconception people have about successful women, and why the "golden path" idea is keeping you stuck What happened when God told Alli to shut down her conference in 2012, and what she would have missed if she'd said no The beach walk story she's never told before, and why there's a jar of sand dollars sitting in her office The hidden thing that holds back the women who never quite take the step (it's not fear of failure) How the Catalyst Mastermind started from a Disney trip and became something Alli calls magical Why Catalyst isn't just for entrepreneurs  and who it's actually for Timestamps: (01:22) — What Alli does all day (and why the answer depends entirely on who's asking)  (02:16) — 20 years of coaching: what she knows now that she didn't know then (03:24) — The core issues every woman shares, from first-time author to hospital CEO  (04:43) — The biggest misconception about successful people  (06:21) — The decision that changed everything: shutting down the conference in 2012  (06:48) — Becoming the breadwinner and what came next (Propel Women, new vision)  (10:01) — The beach walk, the sand dollars, and the fear nobody knew about  (11:24) — What her therapist said that shifted everything about trusting God with money  (15:25) — The hidden problem women are afraid to say out loud  (17:13) — The one thing holding back women who never take the step  (17:51) — Where Catalyst came from: the retreat origin story (22:26) — What the Catalyst circles look like, and why women refuse to let them break up  (24:00) — What Ashley saw at the April retreat (and why women's shoulders look different when they leave)  (25:56) — Who Catalyst is actually for (hint: not just entrepreneurs)     Links to great things we discussed:  Catalyst Mastermind Function Health Uplift App Substack - Wise Woman Era Alli on YouTube   I hope you loved this episode!

To survive the brutal reality of elite-level strength, you might have to destroy the very person you spent a lifetime building. Ben Pollack earned a PhD in physical culture history while systematically destroying his own body, ignoring years of excruciating warnings for the sake of world records and plastic trophies. But when a sudden, terrifying neurological shutdown left half his body completely unresponsive overnight, he was forced to abandon the self-destructive addiction to pure suffering and learn what true strength is actually for. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION The Paralyzing Price of Progress: How chronic tension and "clenching" led to a sudden neurological collapse that left Ben unable to flex his own lat. The Trap of Extreme Weight Cuts: The brutal reality of starving down to 181 pounds, and why the physical toll of dehydration is more dangerous than any PED. Forced Identity Death: Why the most critical step in recovering from a career-ending injury is literally becoming a different human being. The Illusion of More: How chasing a 600-pound deadlift proved that achieving your ultimate physical goals won't fix who you are on the inside. Redefining Effort: Why your accessory work is wasting energy, and how to train with high frequency without accumulating crippling global fatigue. MEET THE GUEST Ben Pollack is a physical culture scholar, former world-record powerlifter, and IFBB Pro bodybuilder who has spent his life bridging the gap between academic theory and under-the-bar reality. After reaching the peak of both strength and physique sports, Ben faced a near-fatal neurological reckoning that forced him to dismantle his philosophy. Today, he coaches athletes not just to build elite strength, but to survive it.

Helen Lo is the founder of Lo & Sons, the cult-favorite travel bag brand that basically invented the stylish carry-on for working women.Helen started the company at 65 years old, after she had already retired. She was born into a privileged family in China that lost it all when her father died. She grew up in poverty, went to boarding school at seven, and promised herself she would never be poor again. She earned a PhD while raising babies, spent decades moving city to city for her husband's career, reinventing herself every single time. And when she finally said "I'm done," she couldn't find a travel bag that actually worked for women. So she recruited her two sons and flew to a factory in China with zero fashion or manufacturing experience. Nine prototypes later, she had the bag that built the business. Today, Lo & Sons is in its sixteenth year, still family run, built without a dollar of outside funding.In this episode, Helen breaks down exactly how she went from idea to real business, how she validated the concept before spending a dime, how one phone call to a friend of a friend unlocked their first factory, and how they caught the early Facebook wave and one blog feature that changed the trajectory of the brand. She also gets really honest about what it costs to build a business with your own children, why she stepped down as CEO of her own company, the trade show flop that taught them everything, and the mistakes that slowed them down, like hiring too fast and pivoting too slow. Helen is proof that you don't need investors, industry experience, or perfect timing, just a real problem, the willingness to learn, and the courage to start. If you've been telling yourself it's too late or that this chapter of your life is already written, this is the conversation you need to hear.In this episode, we'll talk to Helen about:* Why getting out of your comfort zone starts with an inner calling. [02:37]* Growing up in poverty after losing everything and developing determination. [04:56]* Generosity as her guiding principles in life and business. [05:55]* Why an abundance mindset creates unexpected opportunities. [07:59]* Putting her career on hold while supporting her husband's path and raising a family. [09:21]* The biggest career lesson she learned from earning a PhD. [10:41]* How a frustrating travel problem inspired the idea for a better bag. [12:41]* How a lifelong curiosity fueled her entrepreneurial mindset. [17:48]* Validating the business idea by talking to the right target customer. [20:01]* Building the company alongside her sons and defining their roles. [21:00]* Finding the first factory and learning product development from scratch. [24:48]* The design feedback that transformed the original bag into the OG. [26:37]* Refining every detail through customer feedback and multiple prototypes. [30:37]* Why trade shows failed and social media became the brand's breakthrough. [33:04]* How partnering with the right influencer became a major turning point for the brand. [34:45]* Navigating today's changing marketing landscape. [37:06]* The challenges of building a business alongside family. [39:27]* Why stepping down as CEO was the right decision. [41:30]* Why pivoting quickly and hiring intentionally are essential for long-term growth. [44:37]* Why she wanted to be a mom again instead of her sons' boss. [46:15]* Why persistence matters, but knowing when to pivot matters more.

Further reading: New species of extinct vampire-squid-like cephalopod When teeth grow on the body Fossil shark turns into mystery pterosaur Scientists Had Never Seen This Elusive Whale Alive—Until Now Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This month I wasn't sure what to cover in this episode, so I decided to just click on four random bookmarks of scientific articles that I've had waiting for attention, and we'll discuss them. We haven't done a four articles episode in a long time! The first article is from March 2022, and it's about the discovery of an ancient cephalopod. Cephalopods include octopuses and squid. Octopuses famously have eight arms, while squid have eight arms and two feeding tentacles. Despite its name, the deep-sea vampire squid is actually more closely related to octopuses than to squid, and a newly discovered fossil is an ancestor to both. The fossil is 328 million years old and was discovered in Montana, in the United States, in 1988 but was only studied recently. Fossils of soft-bodied animals are incredibly rare, and this one is remarkably well-preserved. All of the animal's arms are preserved, including the suckers, but instead of eight arms, it had ten. Scientists have long suspected that the ancestors of modern octopuses and vampire squid had ten arms. The vampire squid has eight arms and two feeding filaments that are vestigial arms. But this is the first fossil found that shows ten arms. The fossil is of an animal with a torpedo-like body shaped like a modern squid. Two of its arms appear to be elongated compared to its other arms. It's about 4 and a half inches long including its arms, or 12 cm. That's pretty much all we know about it now, but hopefully the fossil will reveal more information as it continues to be studied. Our next article is from October 2017 and is intriguingly titled “When teeth grow on the body.” It sounds horrific, but it's actually a study of certain catfish that grow bony plates with tiny teeth on their bodies as defense. Catfish don't have scales, but some species of denticulate catfish that live in South America grow bony plates that act like armor. Many of these plates are covered in thin little teeth–actual teeth, including enamel and dentin, with pulp inside. They're called extra-oral teeth, dermal denticles, or odontodes, and the study determined that they appeared about 120 million years ago in ancient catfish that hadn't yet evolved the bony plates. The teeth regrow when they're lost, and in some species, males grow larger teeth than females and use them to fight other males. Imagine biting someone without needing to open your mouth. Our next article is from November 2020, about more fossils. The fossils were discovered in a collection at the Sedgwick Museum of Cambridge and the Booth Museum at Brighton in England, and were originally found in the latter half of the 19th century by miners. A PhD student at the University of Portsmouth was studying fossilized shark spines from the collection when he realized they weren't actually shark spines. Instead, they were jaw fragments from pterosaurs. Pterosaurs were flying reptiles that filled many ecological niches that birds fill today. One of the species identified from the collection is called Ornithostoma, which means bird mouth, an animal that lived in the early Cretaceous, about 110 million years ago, in what is now Europe. We know very little about it except that it didn't have teeth, but it probably ate fish. But there were some other jaw fragments that didn't belong to Ornithostoma, and in fact don't match up to any known pterosaur jaws. It may belong to a new species, but the fossils are so fragmentary that there's no way to know for sure. The rocks that the fossils came from were completely destroyed more than a century ago during phosphate mining, so unless more fragments are found in other collections, we may never learn more about this mystery pterosaur. Our last article is from July 2022, and I have no idea why I haven't talked about it on the podcast before now. It's about Sato's beaked whale, also called kurotsuchi. It's a type of four-toothed whale with a short beak, and it's dark gray and can grow up to 23 feet long, or 7 meters. It was only identified in 2016 as being different from the two other known species of four-toothed whales, after careful analysis, including DNA analysis, of dead individuals that had been found washed ashore. Until the summer of 2021, no one had ever seen a living Sato's beaked whale. Then some researchers studying orcas spotted 14 of the beaked whales swimming together between Hokkaido, Japan and the Kuril Islands. The scientists recognized that these were unusual whales and they were able to get a small skin sample from one. Genetic testing confirmed that they were indeed Sato's beaked whales. Researchers think the whales may spend at least part of the year in tropical waters, since that's where cookie cutter sharks live and the whales show circular bite scars from cookie cutter sharks. Not much is known about most species of beaked whale, and Sato's beaked whale is especially mysterious. But at least we know it's alive and well right now. Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening!

What if everything you've been taking to boost your energy, sharpen your focus, and fuel your body was covered by one single food?Dr. Catharine Arnston discovered algae sixteen years ago while researching how to help her sister heal from breast cancer, and it changed the entire direction of her life. NASA has endorsed algae as a complete food for space travel. The United Nations has called it one of the greatest solutions to human nutrition on Earth. Now 72, with a PhD earned last year and zero medications or chronic disease, Catharine joins Jon and Will to break down exactly how spirulina and chlorella work in the body,  from mitochondrial energy and testosterone to heavy metal detox and why men, specifically, are prone to a problem most have never heard of: cellular rust.As an algae nutrition expert, Catharine walks through the spirulina and chlorella benefits that define these algae superfoods, starting with mitochondrial health and its role in fueling cellular energy in men's nutrition. She explains how antioxidants for men neutralize free radicals, easing inflammation and testosterone disruption, while nitric oxide and blood flow support men's hormone health and performance. For men over 40, whole food supplements like ENERGYbits deliver longevity nutrition through high fiber content that strengthens gut health, complementing a Keto lifestyle. Catharine also details how algae supports heavy metal detox, binding toxic metals for gentle clearance, and positions itself as a natural energy supplement built on decades of research into cellular vitality and aging well.IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:1.  Why mitochondria are the real power plant behind energy, testosterone, and brain fog2.  Spirulina vs. chlorella: nourishment in, toxins out, and why men need both3.  The connection between nitric oxide, blood flow, and male performance4.  Why men accumulate stored iron — and how that quietly damages the heart and brain over time5.  Why most supplements fail to get absorbed, and what makes whole-food nutrition differentMore about Dr. Catharine Arnston:1.  Website: https://www.energybits.com2.  Discount Code: MTM for 20% off sitewide, no expiration3.  Instagram (brand): https://www.instagram.com/energybits4.  Instagram (personal): https://www.instagram.com/catharinearnston5.  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/catharinearnston6.  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/energybits GET MORE FROM MTM:Text MTM to 33777 — free weekly newsletterSubscribe & Episodes: https://mentalkingmindfulness.com/FREE APP: https://focusnowtrainingapp.com/FREE Assessment: https://focusnowtraining.com/assessment-pageA2A COURSE:12 modules on attention, presence & performance.

7/19/26   This week at HoF we had the privilege of hearing from one of our own, Jake Hardin,  on the topic of mental health.  Jake is currently in the PhD psychology program at UT Tyler and has been at HoF for over 8 years and today he shared some profound insights about the balance of a healthy spirituality and a healthy mind. You may wanna get something out to take notes because this was a meaty one!  We hope you dig it…   For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit.  Hebrews 4:12

I've been using Graymatter's Health PRISM EEG-fMRI neurofeedback system for a few years, it's true. There are EEG leads on there. I saw a lot of EEG-related technology in Beijing. It's possible I'm looking at an EEG in this very photo from my hotel room in China, below:But have I been measuring the brain with EEG regularly? Well, no, again! I've been content with my fancy fMRI scans alone, for SAINT, and giant brain healing magnets at set frequencies, like deep TMS with SWIFT.There are even videos of me talking about TMS, like this one below, with friends like Colleen Hanlon from BrainsWay, and heroic patients who chose to speak publicly, too.But one thing I haven't routinely done is measure the brain itself as part of clinical care, as companies like Firefly Neuroscience are making possible. That may need to change, is the outcome in my personal brain as a result of this interview. I speak, at length, with Dave Decaprio, their president and COO.The EVOKE system provides multimodal analysis of brain function, including Quantitative EEG and Event-Related Potentials. From the Firefly website:At Firefly Neuroscience, our technology is built to measure and interpret brain function in a clinically meaningful way. The Evoke™ system combines quantitative EEG (qEEG) and event-related potentials (ERP) to capture both baseline brain activity and cognitive response during structured tasks.This data is analyzed against a proprietary normative database of over 191,000 EEG and ERP sessions, allowing clinicians to evaluate patterns relative to age-matched expectations and track changes over time. The result is a structured, interpretable view of brain function that can be used alongside clinical evaluation to support earlier insight, more informed treatment decisions, and a clearer understanding of patient progress.I haven't used it in clinical practice yet, but Dave makes a compelling case, and at this point I think it's only a matter of time. Brain Medicine, as an emerging specialty, brings change. That change needs to be measured. EEG might be one such tool.I hope you enjoy today's podcast! And thanks to Sharena Rice, PhD, William M. Sauve, MD, along with Dave, for their guest spots.—OwenAnnouncements: * You can Join The Frontier Psychiatrists LIVE at Psych Congress 2026.

It's got a lot of good reviews, and one “one star” review, which, in the spirit of transparency, I will excerpt for you:The author has taken a collection of drug leaflets from pharmaceutical companies and woven them together with underwhelming lackluster commentary and memes. He intended to create an engaging reading experience, however, this aim should have been clearly stated, should have been made explicitly clear in the book description. He wanted to have fun writing it and wanted readers to have fun reading it.

Is the economy good or bad? Dr. Peter C. Earle, PhD economist and senior director of research at the American Institute for Economic Research, has a better question: good for whom? In this episode, Jon Herold sits down with Earle to unpack why a single headline never captures how millions of households actually experience the same economy. They dig into the indicators worth watching (inflation, Treasury yields, and a few wonky ones you probably ignore), then turn to the shiny stuff: gold and silver. What really drives prices up, why central banks are stacking bullion to shed dollar exposure, and what a hypothetical return to commodity-backed money might mean for your wallet. It is short, sharp, and refreshingly free of easy answers. Earle resists tidy predictions because, as he puts it, nobody knows what is coming. Grab a coffee and get a little more in the weeds on money, metals, and macro.

What does athlete safety look like beyond preventing physical injury?In this episode, Erin Ayala, PhD, speaks with Dr. Gretchen Kerr, professor of kinesiology at the University of Toronto and an internationally recognized expert on psychological abuse, interpersonal violence, and maltreatment in sport.They explore why psychological harm is the most common—and often the least recognized—form of abuse in athletics, how win-at-all-costs cultures can normalize harmful behavior, and why some safe-sport reporting processes may unintentionally re-traumatize athletes.Dr. Kerr also shares evidence-based strategies for prevention, including shifting the definition of success toward athlete well-being, enjoyment, and belonging; strengthening communication among coaches, parents, and administrators; and using practical tools that address harmful behavior before it escalates.This conversation offers clear, actionable guidance for coaches, athletes, parents, sport leaders, and anyone invested in creating healthier, safer, and more positive sport environments.In this episode:Why psychological abuse is so common in sport—and why it often goes unnoticedHow safe-sport reporting systems can unintentionally cause additional harmWhy athletes need ongoing support beyond the initial reporting processHow win-focused performance metrics can contribute to unhealthy environmentsThe importance of prioritizing well-being, enjoyment, and belongingPreventive approaches, including quality-coaching tools and restorative practicesHow transparent communication can help protect athletesAbout Dr. Gretchen KerrDr. Gretchen Kerr is a professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education at the University of Toronto.

Speed in American football is about far more than running a fast 40-yard dash. It is the ability to create space, close space, accelerate, decelerate, change direction and repeatedly produce high-speed actions under the demands of the game. This week, Richard Graves is joined by Matt Gebert, Strength and Conditioning Coach at Ole Miss Football, to explore how speed is developed within an elite college football programme. Matt explains how Ole Miss structures speed training across the week, from acceleration and change of direction to maximum velocity, curved sprinting and conditioning. He also breaks down how the physical demands change between position groups and why offensive linemen, linebackers, running backs, wide receivers and defensive backs require different training priorities. The conversation explores the five key qualities Matt uses to assess speed development and how tools including Catapult GPS and the 1080 Sprint can help coaches understand an athlete's strengths, weaknesses and potential performance limiters. However, collecting more data does not automatically lead to better decisions. Matt explains why sports science technology must be accurate, efficient and actionable, particularly when working with a squad of around 120 athletes within strict time restrictions. Richard and Matt also discuss the balance between pushing athletes hard and protecting player availability, the value of wellness monitoring, the importance of sleep and why technology should help practitioners ask better questions rather than replace coaching judgement. Matt also reflects on how his coaching philosophy has changed during more than a decade in college football, including moving away from one-size-fits-all programming and learning to coach athletes differently, both physically and psychologically. In this episode you will learn Why speed in team sport is ultimately about creating and closing space How Ole Miss structures acceleration, maximum velocity, change of direction and conditioning work Why different football positions require different speed and strength qualities The five physical qualities Matt assesses within speed development How Catapult GPS and the 1080 Sprint are used to profile athletes Why maximum velocity is particularly important for wide receivers and defensive backs How to identify and improve an athlete's performance limiters The difference between using sports technology and practising sports science The three questions Matt asks before introducing new technology How external and internal training loads can inform programme decisions Why wellness questionnaires can start important conversations with athletes The relationship between training load, recovery and player availability Why sleep may be the most overlooked performance metric How Matt's approach to individualising training and communication has evolved Why acceleration should be a priority for young athletes in almost every sport About Matt Gebert Matt Gebert is a Strength and Conditioning Coach with Ole Miss Football, where he leads speed development work within the programme's performance team. Matt has worked in college football for approximately 13 years and is currently completing a PhD focused on speed development. His work covers linear speed, multidirectional movement, acceleration, maximum velocity, deceleration, curved sprinting and conditioning for team-sport athletes. Alongside his coaching and research, Matt regularly shares practical information about speed development and the use of sports science within high-performance environments. He is also preparing a forthcoming book focused on speed development for team-sport athletes.

Dr. ⁠Basant Bajpai⁠ CEO of ⁠Compliance MedQRA⁠, a UAE-based consulting company specializing in Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, AI governance and compliance for medical devices, SaMD, AI/ML health technologies and digital health solutions. He holds a PhD in Neuroscience focused on brain monitoring and neurotechnology and has more than 12 years of international experience supporting MedTech and digital health companies across Europe, the Middle East and the United States.He explains why regulatory and quality is still one of the most misunderstood functions in MedTech and why so many innovators treat it as a documentation exercise until it becomes an expensive problem at the worst possible moment. We get into the question every founder asks, how long will this take and what will it cost and why there is genuinely no straight answer without first building a proper regulatory strategy.We also tackle the growing trend of companies choosing the US over EU MDR simply because it looks faster. Basant makes the case that regulatory approval alone does not guarantee commercial entry, why reimbursement codes should shape your market choice more than approval timelines and why he now finds EU MDR more convenient than many people expect. He also shares a contrarian view on device classification and why staying in the lowest risk class is not always the smart play.Finally, we explore the GCC regulatory landscape, which Basant argues is not less regulated but differently regulated, with data compliance requirements he found tougher than GDPR or HIPAA. He closes with a clear message on AI in healthcare and why he does not believe regulators will ever allow a clinician to be replaced.Timestamps[00:01:23] From Biomedical Engineering to a First Audit That Changed Everything[00:03:33] Why Everyone Thinks Regulatory Is Just a Documentation Department[00:06:07] How Long Will It Take and What Will It Cost: The Impossible Question[00:09:35] EU MDR vs FDA: Why Reimbursement Should Drive the Decision[00:12:19] Regulatory Approval Does Not Guarantee Commercial Success[00:14:36] Why Staying in the Lowest Risk Class Can Backfire[00:16:00] The GCC: Not Less Regulated, Just Differently Regulated[00:18:24] Why Data Compliance in the Gulf Is Tougher Than GDPR[00:23:30] Who Should Not Pursue a Career in Quality and Regulatory[00:29:17] Final Advice: AI Will Transform Healthcare but Not Replace CliniciansConnect with Basant - https://www.linkedin.com/in/basant-bajpai-phd-63565961Learn more about Complaince MedQRA - https://www.compliancemedqra.net/Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Karandeep on YouTube - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Medical device training courses delivered by Karandeep through Bywater - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bywater.co.uk/

Send us Fan MailOn Serving God, Not Being Religious with Dr. Elad Ben Elul & Rabbi Manis FriedmanIn this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast, Rivkah and Eda sit down with Dr. Elad Ben Elul and Rabbi Manis Friedman on their book I Didn't Ask to Be Born and its core idea: Judaism isn't about being "religious" or what we need from God, but what God needs from us — asking daily, "What does God need from me today?" Ben Elul shares his Jewish awakening during fieldwork in West Africa, caught between secular Tel Aviv and an enclosed religious world, until Friedman's lecture "Why You Shouldn't Be Religious" reframed Jewish life as mission. Friedman traces this to his outreach starting in 1970 and its path to the book's Israeli success. They cover mitzvot, purpose, soulmates and marriage, hostages who found mission in captivity, teaching Tanya, Chabad's nonjudgment, and audience Q&A on dating, marriage, and identity.Get the book, I Didn't Ask to Be Born: Understanding the Purpose of Our Creation: https://amzn.to/4bxqnrFEPISODE SPONSORSSwimplyRent a private pool by the hour, right in your own city — no crowds, no chaos, just your family or friends in your own space, with over 15,000 pools across the US, Canada, and Australia.Download the app or visit Swimply.com — code INSIDEOUT10 for 10% off your next booking!BINABina walks alongside families from the moment someone they love suffers a brain injury, through every stage of recovery.

I'm going to suggest that the best 50 minutes you can spend this week is listening to this week's show with Jeremy Pollack @pollackpeacebuilding who believes we are wired for peace. Jeremy Pollack, Ph.D. is a social-organisational psychologist, leader in the field of workplace conflict resolution and peacebuilding and author of WIRED FOR PEACE. He is the Founder of Pollack Peacebuilding Systems, an international conflict resolution consulting firm. He is also a co-founder and chairman of the Peaceful Leadership Institute, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit dedicated to promoting the model and theory of Peaceful Leadership.Because he has a PhD in neuroscience, he has a shed ton of evidence to back that up, in his book “Wired for Peace”. He has years of experience helping all kinds of communities and business structures be more peacemaking and peaceful, even within hierarchies which aren't inherently ‘bad'.These are the sorts of conversations that can help us reflect on what's going on inside of us; figure out what's happening in our own little corners; and make peacebuilding and peacemaking possible, so we can all start to benefit from the ripple effects of that local work. LOVE these sorts of explorations, and I hope you love this one, Alexx StuartYour HostFancy a few more podcasts we've done over the years, related to this one?Show #479. Feeling Fearful? Drained?
