You can still build muscle after 40, and the research says you can build it at close to the same rate as a 25-year-old. What has to change is not how hard you train, it is how strategically you train, eat, and recover. Alain Gonzalez is a fitness coach, author, and the creator of the largest YouTube channel dedicated to men's fitness over 40. He has spent more than 17 years helping men build muscle and get their health back, and his book is Muscle After 40. In this conversation we walk through his four pillars of muscle growth: mindset, training, nutrition, and recovery. We cover why volume is the thing that has to change with age, why movement quality sits above everything else in the gym, how to order your nutrition so protein comes first, and why recovery is the pillar most people over 40 quietly skip.

What if the two massive bronze pillars at the entrance of Solomon's Temple were never meant to hold anything up, but were meant to tell everyone who entered something about God? In 1 Kings 7, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel discover the powerful meaning behind Yachin and Boaz, the remarkable craftsman who helped build the Temple, and the deeper connection between Israel, the nations, and the House of God. In this chapter we learn: -Solomon's 13-year palace and the striking contrast with the seven years spent building the House of God. -Hiram the craftsman, a man connected to both Israel and Tyre, and his connection to Betzalel and the construction of the Mishkan. -The biblical pattern of righteous people from the nations becoming part of Israel's story, including Rahav, Ruth, Yitro, and Hiram. -The significance of the enormous bronze pillars Yachin and Boaz at the entrance to the Temple. -Why Yachin means “He will establish” and Boaz means “In Him is strength.” -The deeper calling of Israel to be a testimony to the nations and a light pointing toward the prophetic future of Jerusalem.

Edge City is one of the most exciting, fun, engaging, dynamic communities of which I'm a part -- and here I get to interview one of the founders! (This is very exciting for me.)Edge City runs month-long "pop-up villages" — 500 to 1,000 people from tech, science, culture, and art, gathered in one small, walkable town, building things together. In Timour's words, "It's got the dynamism of a city, with the vibe of a village — that's kind of a design principle for us."In my words: It's like summer camp meets a tech conference ... and it's also a hotbed of attraction. :)But what happens when you meet someone in an environment where you absolutely will run into them again? What if you don't want to make her uncomfortable by asking her out? How do organizers think about this?As Timour puts it, "We are in a weird time when it comes to dating.” But don't worry -- we discuss the anonymous "crush" feature that could change everything.We also get into the dating dynamics at the village specifically, including my feeling of being surrounded by attractive men and yet noticeably under-approached. We cover the couple whose second date really was an entire month-long event, and the strange twist where Timour says this is actually the opposite of Burning Man's infamous "playa romance" phenomenon.If you've ever wondered whether there's a real-world alternative to the apps — something that isn't just another platform — this one's worth your full attention.—Come to Edge City!The next Edge City is in Goa, India from Oct 11–Nov 1.

It's Friday, August 28th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Christian farmers are being targeted by Fulani Muslims For many Christian farmers in the Plateau State of Nigeria, traveling to their own farms has become dangerous, reports International Christian Concern. Some have stopped going altogether. Others now move in groups, hoping that numbers will offer some protection. But for families who depend on agriculture for survival, abandoning their land is not an easy choice.  The fear has grown following a series of attacks by armed men suspected to be Fulani Muslim militias which have targeted farmers traveling to and from their fields.  On July 30, according to Christian leader Joseph Yonkpa, 60-year-old Christian farmer Bulus Turu was “attacked and macheted while returning from his farm.”  At least 27 people have been killed in ambushes, many of whom were Christian farmers traveling to their farms.  Yohana Boh, a community leader, said, “We received early warning, but the Nigerian Army ignored it. We can't sleep. We can't farm. We're calling for help.” Send a polite, 4-sentence note to Lateef Kayode, the Nigerian Ambassador to America, asking him to urge his government to protect the Christian farmers there. Address your letter to the Nigerian Embassy, 3519 International Court, NW, Washington, DC 20008. You can find that address, and the spelling of the Nigerian Ambassador's name, in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Flash flood in Nepal killed 360 The deadly flash flood in Nepal on August 26th has killed 360 people and left 1,400 missing including 90 Americans, reports Weather.com. The flood was likely caused by a huge chunk of a glacier that broke off and temporarily dammed a river.  That may have led to the backed-up water surging downstream with enormous force a few hours later. In fact, water levels in rivers across the flood-affected region rose by as much as 29.5 feet in 30 minutes. The U.S. State Department said it is not aware of any U.S. deaths, but three Americans have been rescued. Hundreds have lost their homes across the Himalayan region, and officials reported large-scale damage to critical infrastructure, including hydropower dams, roads, buildings and bridges in the region. US Patriot missile stocks in Europe are ‘beyond critical' due to Iran war An unnamed U.S. defense official in Europe and an unnamed NATO official told the Associated Press that the U.S. military is experiencing a “beyond critical” shortage of advanced missile interceptors in Europe largely driven by President Donald Trump's war with Iran. This raises concerns about vulnerabilities in NATO countries to a potential Russian attack. The U.S. defense official said the most concerning shortfall involves Patriot missile interceptors, which can shoot down Russia's high-speed ballistic missiles. The NATO official confirmed the low inventories of Patriots among American and NATO forces in Europe. President Trump renames Lake Ontario to Lake America On August 27th, President Donald Trump said he is renaming Lake Ontario to be known as “Lake America” in the United States as he escalates his trade war with Canada, reports the Associated Press. The president signed an executive order directing the Interior Department to update the lake's name in the U.S. geographic naming service. Girl Scouts promotes Islam The Girl Scouts organization in America already has plunged neck-deep into transgenderism and abortion, with ideologies that support such leftist agendas. Now, the group is jumping into Islam, reports WorldNetDaily.com. An online report confirmed the Girls Scouts are offering "badges" that are earned by little girls when they visit mosques and learn the "Pillars of Islam." Not surprisingly, social media commenters were outraged. Turning Point USA, founded by Charlie Kirk, tweeted, “Nothing says Girl Scouts of AMERICA like learning the pillars of Islam.” And another wrote, “Never buy Girl Scout cookies again.” According to a new investigation by Natalie Winters, the White House correspondent for Steve Bannon's War Room, she documented that, "Girl Scout troops across the U.S. are incorporating Islamic religious instruction, prayer and activities, [like wearing the hijab head covering and participating in the Ramadan fast] into scouting programs.” Winters reported, "Girl Scouts Heart of Central California knew about the Sacramento Area League of Associated Muslims' religious integration years earlier. The council's 2009 annual report said that four troops with 30 girls began …  [incorporating] Girl Scouting into the mosque's youth programming. It highlighted a Ramadan sleepover involving fasting and girls 'praying through the night.'" The examples appear to involve individual troops and local councils rather than a nationwide requirement imposed on all Girl Scouts. However, there is a "nationwide pattern of Girl Scout troops based at mosques incorporating Islamic prayer, Quranic instruction, and lessons on hijab into activities conducted under the Girl Scouts banner." In Exodus 20:3, God said, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” And, to be sure, Allah, the Islamic god, is not the one true God. Mom banned from school after protesting push of sexual perversion And finally, an Oregon mother is suing Portland Public Schools for banning her from her children's elementary school for protesting its promotion of homosexual transgender “pride,” reports LifeSiteNews.com. The Oregonian reports that Allison Roberts, who has two children at Meriwether Lewis Elementary School, took issue with benches painted with “Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride” rainbow designs. She also objected to an assignment in which one of her kids was tasked with filling out an “identity flower” exercise including gender. After a meeting with school officials to discuss her concerns, she began distributing letters about the situation outside the school, leading to a “heated exchange” with one parent. That led to a one-year trespass order keeping her off the grounds ostensibly for “threatening and intimidating members of the school community” with “harmful, unlawful and/or disruptive behavior.” As a result, Roberts was forced to miss one of her children's graduations from elementary school. Now, she is suing to reverse the trespass order and secure her rights to engage in free speech about her children's education.  Mrs. Roberts should prayerfully consider pulling her children out of the pro-perversion government schools and homeschool them instead. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

Send us Fan MailKeto. Carnivore. Vegan. Mediterranean. Low-carb. Low-fat. With so many competing opinions about nutrition, eating for health and longevity has become unnecessarily complicated.In this episode of the Fit Rx Health & Wellness Podcast, Dr. Greg Dennis continues the 7 Pillars of Optimal Health series with Pillar #2: Nutrition.After years of studying nutrition, longevity, and metabolic health—and seeing what works in clinical practice—Dr. Dennis shares how his own thinking about nutrition has evolved. Rather than following a diet with a particular name, he believes the foundation of good nutrition can be surprisingly simple: prioritize protein, eat mostly real whole foods, maintain a healthy body composition, and individualize carbohydrate and fat intake based on your metabolic health, activity level, and goals.In this episode, you'll learn:Why calories still matterWhy protein becomes increasingly important as we ageThe connection between muscle, metabolic health, and longevityWhether red meat belongs in a healthy dietWhy healthy fats are beneficial—but aren't unlimitedWhy carbohydrates aren't necessarily the enemyThe difference between whole-food carbohydrates and highly processed foodsWhen low-carb and ketogenic diets may be useful therapeutic toolsThe pros and limitations of vegan, vegetarian, and carnivore dietsWhy ultra-processed foods may be a much bigger problem than any single macronutrientWhat Dr. Dennis actually eats and how his own approach to nutrition has changed over the yearsThe takeaway is simple: your diet doesn't need a name.For most people, building meals around quality protein and minimally processed whole foods—while limiting the highly processed foods that dominate the modern diet—is a sustainable foundation for metabolic health, maintaining muscle, healthy aging, and longevity.This is the second episode in the 7 Pillars of Optimal Health series.

In this solo episode of Pillars of Wealth Creation, Todd Dexheimer discusses the things you can't always prepare for when investing in real estate. While investment pitch decks often highlight the blue-sky scenario, Todd explains why investors need to think through what could go wrong—from changing cap rates and occupancy to unexpected challenges that impact a property's ability to make money. He shares why every investment carries risk and why the potential return needs to justify that risk. Todd also explains what passive investors should look for in a GP and why understanding how a sponsor protects an investment when things don't go according to plan is critical before investing.

She's successful. She's put together. She seems like she doesn't need anyone. So why does dating still feel impossible for her — and why does she seem so hard to get close to?The men we work with are almost always intensely curious about what life is like on the "other side." What do single women contend with? What are their biggest dating, sex, and relationship challenges? Here, Violet breaks down 3 top issues frequently faced by single women — the ones most men never clock, because women have gotten so good at hiding them.We get into why the most "together," successful women are often the most terrified of being seen, and what that has to do with whether she actually notices you making eye contact across the room.We dig into the hot-and-cold thing — why it happens, why it almost never has anything to do with you, and why the woman across from you at dinner may be carrying more than she's ever said out loud.And we unpack the unconscious dating pattern nearly every long-single woman is repeating without knowing it — the one Violet says she couldn't see either, until someone lovingly pointed it out.Plus: the bar story about the guy who approached a whole circle of women, and what has changed in Violet's own marriage after over a decade together.If you've ever felt like you couldn't figure out how to "get in" with a woman who seems to have it all together — or you're partnered with a woman who runs hot and cold — this one could fundamentally change how you see her.—Work with usReady to go deeper than the podcast and take action?

1 in 2 women over 50 will break a bone, and the scariest part is you won't feel it happening. Bone loss is silent, it speeds up in perimenopause and menopause, and by the time there's a warning sign, it's often a fracture. But weaker bones are NOT just an inevitable part of aging. In this video, Angela Foster breaks down the 3 pillars every woman needs to build stronger bones, protect against fractures, and stay strong and independent for decades with the exact, evidence-based way to put each one into practice. You'll learn: - Why your bones lose density in perimenopause - and how to reverse the trend - The single most important type of exercise for bone strength (and how heavy you actually need to lift) - How to "earn the right to jump" - the safe way to add impact training without injuring your tendons - Why walking, weighted vests, and mini-trampolines aren't enough on their own - The 4 nutrients your bones need - and how much protein to eat per day - The simple tests Angela uses with her clients to check they're on track TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Why 1 in 2 women break a bone (and why you won't feel it) 01:37 - What's really happening to your bones in perimenopause 04:02 - Pillar 1: Strength training.

Joe Fontana spent a decade chasing a punk rock music career and another six years trapped in a soul-crushing corporate job that caused his leg hair to fall out from stress. Broke and with a baby on the way, he packed up his life, moved into his in-laws' basement, and took the ultimate leap of faith.He borrowed $21,000 from his mother's savings, scrapped his original restaurant idea, and launched Fry the Coop. Today, that single chicken sandwich shop has exploded into a fast-casual powerhouse with 11 locations, over 200 employees, and $15 million in annual revenue.In this episode of the UpFlip Podcast, Joe sits down with Ryan Atkinson to break down the exact roadmap he used to scale from an empty cash register to an eight-figure empire. He reveals why hiring a publicist was the ultimate cheat code to hitting his first million, how treating customer service like "vanilla ice cream" scaled him to $5M, and the painful $12,000 accounting mistake that taught him why you must watch your financials like a hawk.Whether you want to open a restaurant or scale a local brick-and-mortar, Joe drops the unvarnished truth on what it takes to survive and thrive.

Let's be real: Modern dating culture can suck. Between ghosting, confusion over when to have sex, the commodification of our love lives, and people throwing up old photos on Tinder, Feeld, or Bumble, it's not always clear how to make it work.But Freya isn't playing by the rules anymore. Instead of sticking with the apps, which can leave both men and women feeling dejected, she's running a full-blown, 3-month public campaign to find a boyfriend ... and she's inviting her entire audience along for the ride.What's equally as cool is that she's challenging herself on an essentially daily basis to approach men in the wild. We get all up into how this is going for her (how do you approach a guy at the grocery store? What if he's got headphones in? What if he's taken? How does she handle rejection?), and her strong and well-made points about how we could all "do" dating better.We also dig into the wildest event she's said yes to (hint: 250 people were watching); what happened on her fourth lap around a park after 3 failed attempts to talk to a cute guy walking his dog; and why the little note cards she's been handing out to strangers might be the most old-school-meets-radical dating move going right now.And a distinction we both come back to: the difference between dominating, being passive, and leading (and why "leading" is the one that actually works).Work with usReady to go deeper than the podcast and take action?

https://teachhoops.com/ https://teachhoops.com/ If you step into gymnasiums across the country, almost every head coach has the word "CULTURE" printed in bold block letters across their team gear, painted on their locker room walls, or featured prominently in their social media graphics. They host long pre-season meetings talking about family, toughness, and championship standards. Yet, when the freezing temperatures of mid-January arrive, when the team drops three games on the road, or when a star player gets hit with a tough whistle, that "culture" instantly disintegrates into finger-pointing, passive body language, and emotional hang-time. That happens because most coaches mistake slogans for culture. Culture is not what you write on a dry-erase board or what you wish for during a quiet off-season. Culture is simply the daily behavioral baseline of your program—it is defined entirely by the lowest level of behavior you are willing to tolerate. In this episode of Coach Unplugged, recorded live at 5th Quarter Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, Coach Collins pulls back the curtain on how elite program builders construct an unshakeable, winning culture. Discover how to transition your locker room out of fragile, coach-fed compliance and build a self-policing, player-led powerhouse that holds the line when the pressure gets turned up. A championship program isn't built overnight through a motivational speech; it is systematically engineered using four structural pillars: The Blueprint: Your program's brand is not set by your highest achiever; it is anchored to what you allow your lowest performer to get away with. The Execution: If your primary scorer soft-recovers on a closeout, fails to play with High Hands, or rolls their eyes after a turnover, and you look the other way because you want to win a Tuesday night non-conference game, you have officially set a new, lower standard. Deploy The Antagonist on your staff to stop the clock immediately, address the breach in the "Truth Room," and demand an immediate reset. The Blueprint: Chaotic, average gyms feature noisy, emotional chatter. Championship gyms operate on a shared, high-signal language that drives rapid execution. The Execution: Banish passive apologies ("My bad, coach") from your vocabulary. Replace them with an immediate physical command: "Next Play Speed." When energy drops during a cold winter practice, require your floor leaders to step up, "Own the Room," and call out spatial coverages before the coaching staff ever intervenes. The Blueprint: A Level 2 program is Coach-Fed—the players act like robotic pieces on a chessboard, waiting for a joystick directive from the baseline. A Level 4 program is Player-Led—the athletes take full ownership of the standard. The Execution: Put your whistle in your pocket during your Small-Sided Games ($SSGs$). Allow your players to face friction, resolve spatial alignment problems on the fly, and huddle independently to hold their peers accountable through the exhaust. The Blueprint: Culture is forged in how you respect time. Long whiteboard lectures and single-file lines breed boredom leaks, mental fatigue, and conversational laziness. The Execution: Structure your 120-minute practice script around high Rep Density using a mandatory Multi-Ball architecture. Keep at least $70%$ of your roster moving, catching, or passing concurrently to maintain core temperatures and build athletic resilience. We don't build a strong culture simply so everyone gets along in the locker room. We build culture because disciplined, unselfish, high-trust teams make better decisions on the floor. A culture anchored in rapid ball movement, selfless cutting geometry, and elite offensive screening directly optimizes your team's Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$): When your players trust each other and flush mistakes in zero seconds, they take higher-quality, uncontested shots under pressure on Friday night. Coach's Note: "You don't get the culture you wish for; you get the culture you negotiate and accept every single day in practice. If you let little things slide on Tuesday—slouched body language, dropped hands on a closeout, walking between drill transitions—you are actively training your team to crumble on Friday night. Stop chasing short-term transactional wins. Clean up your clock, hold an uncompromised line on your standard, empower your assistant staff, and hand the keys over to your players. Build a shield that lasts." Title Ideas: How to Build a Winning Basketball Program Culture (Stop Renting Talent!)

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with workplace strategy expert and author Melissa Swift to unpack the radical ideas behind her book, Effective: How to Do Great Work in a Fast-Changing World. In an era dominated by burnout, endless Zoom calls, and constant technological disruption, Swift challenges the conventional push for mere "productivity" and offers a far more sustainable path: true workplace effectiveness. Drawing from high-stakes professions—from the meteorologist who predicted catastrophic fires to air traffic controllers and ER doctors—she reveals why the secret to thriving isn't constantly innovating or trying to fix all your weaknesses, but rather leaning into your core strengths and embracing the "boring" routines that free up vital cognitive space. Whether you are an overwhelmed employee swimming in an overflowing inbox or a leader trying to manage an unpredictable team, this conversation uncovers a refreshing "third way" forward where both companies and individuals can actually win together.

Asthma is often treated like a lung problem. The tighter the chest, the more inflamed the airway, the worse the flare-up, the answer has usually been to reach for medications designed to calm the lungs directly.But what if, for some patients, the real driver is not only in the lungs at all?For years, clinicians have recognized that patients with both obesity and asthma often experience a more difficult form of the disease. Their symptoms are more severe. Their flare-ups are more frequent. Their quality of life is lower. And frustratingly, many do not respond as well to the standard asthma therapies we rely on, including inhaled steroids.That is because obesity-related asthma is not simply “asthma plus extra weight.” It appears to be a distinct phenotype shaped by metabolic dysfunction, systemic inflammation, insulin resistance, immune reprogramming, and the mechanical effects of excess weight on lung function. In other words, for many patients, asthma may not be just a disease of the airways. It may be a whole-body inflammatory condition showing up in the lungs.That shift in thinking is why the growing research around GLP-1 receptor agonists is so compelling. These medications, originally developed for type 2 diabetes and now widely known for their role in weight management, may be doing far more than changing blood sugar or body weight. Emerging research suggests they may influence airway inflammation, immune signaling, airway smooth muscle function, and asthma exacerbation risk, sometimes even before major weight loss occurs.To explore what this could mean for the future of asthma care, Dr. Atoosa Kourosh, a board-certified allergist, immunologist, and pediatrician with more than two decades of clinical experience, returns to the show.She is the founder of Holistic Allergy and Immunology and chair of the Integrative Medicine Committee at the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, where she brings together conventional medicine, lifestyle medicine, metabolic health, and integrative care.Together, we explore:Why obesity-related asthma is not just “regular asthma in a heavier body,” but a distinct phenotype with different biology, different inflammation, and often a different response to treatmentHow metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance, adipokines, immune reprogramming, and systemic inflammation can all shape what happens in the lungsWhy standard asthma therapies may miss the mark for patients whose disease is driven less by classic allergic inflammation and more by metabolic inflammationWhat emerging research suggests about GLP-1 receptor agonists and their potential effects on airway inflammation, airway smooth muscle, bronchodilation, and asthma exacerbationsWhy some patients may see asthma improvement before significant weight loss, suggesting these medications may be acting on more than the scaleWhat real-world data can and cannot tell us about GLP-1 medications, asthma attacks, and patients with both asthma and type 2 diabetesWhy randomized controlled trials are still needed before GLP-1s can be considered a definitive asthma treatmentWhat clinicians and families should consider before using GLP-1 medications in adolescents, including growth, muscle loss, bone health, mental health, activity levels, and the need for careful testing and monitoringWhy these medications should be viewed as one tool in a broader lifestyle and integrative medicine toolkit, not a quick fix or a substitute for nutrition, movement, sleep, stress regulation, and anti-inflammatory livingHow this research could change the way we classify asthma in the future, moving from a lung-only model to a more metabolic, systems-based model of chronic inflammatory diseaseIf you are a clinician treating difficult-to-control asthma, a patient living with asthma and metabolic dysfunction, or someone trying to understand why chronic disease rarely fits into one neat category, this conversation will challenge you to look beyond the lungs and consider the whole body story.About the GuestDr. Atoosa Kourosh, MD, MPH, RYT, is a physician, board-certified in pediatrics, Allergy & immunology, and public health.

Scott Mellinger of Zao returns to The Tone Mob for a long-overdue hang, and apparently age comes for us all in different ways. Some people take up golf. Zao seems to be getting slower, heavier, and sludgier. Scott digs into Pillars, Zao's new collection paying tribute to the overlooked bands from their local scene that helped create the blueprint for what they eventually became. That leads into the strange history of early metalcore, bands that arrived a decade too soon, and the peculiar experience of having your very human record temporarily flagged for AI by an AI. From there, things naturally get weird. Blake horrifies Scott with the darker side of streaming fraud, Scott recounts his pilgrimage to EarthQuaker Day, and the two discuss pedal nerd community, Sweetwater, meeting your musical heroes, and why perfectly normal human beings somehow become twelve feet tall the second they step onto a stage. There's also talk of getting older while refusing to leave the mosh pit, the health benefits of heavy metal and occasional cheesecake, Scott's resurrected side project Lonely Ghost Parade, more Zao cover material, and, most importantly, a brand-new Zao record currently taking shape. Scott brought a lot to talk about. We managed to talk about guitars occasionally sometimes. Give Zao a follow on the socials HERE https://www.instagram.com/zaoband Support The Show And Connect!

Are you all sitting comfybold two square on your body? Then I'll begin. We return to the topic of the concept album...with a spin. Some concept albums simply don't work without context. Others function as a cohesive collection of songs, even divorced from a weighty backstory or overarching theme. Those are the records that Brett Vargo discusses with this week's Third Lad, Bill Kopp. You may remember renowned music scribe Bill Kopp from his O3L appearance a few years back discussing his book on classic San Francisco indie label 415 Records, Disturbing The Peace. Now Bill's back, celebrating the release of his latest book, What's The Big Idea - 30 Great Concept Albums, out now on Hozac Books. In What's The Big Idea, Bill explores 30 remarkable concept albums, drawing from new, firsthand interviews with the artists behind their creation, including Pete Townshend, Steve Kilbey, Captain Sensible, Utopia, and William Shatner. While there are some well-known classic concept albums covered such as The Pretty Things' S.F. Sorrow and Jethro Tull's Thick As A Brick, much of the book is dedicated to lesser known gems that dispel the myth that the concept album died in the mid-1970s.

No guest this time. Just me, the mic, and a mid-summer catch-up on what's actually happening in aesthetic medicine right now.There is more noise than ever. TikTok, Instagram, Google, AI. Everyone has an opinion about what you should be doing, what you shouldn't be doing, what works and what's a waste of time.So I wanted to cut through some of that and get back to the basics.For me, there are three pillars of non-surgical rejuvenation:• Optimizing injectables without looking overdone• Laser resurfacing to improve the quality and health of your skin• Non-surgical skin tightening for the right patient, at the right timeI get into what each of these can realistically accomplish, where the limitations are, when surgery may actually be the better answer, and some of the biggest myths surrounding energy-based devices.There is no one machine, injectable or treatment that does everything. The art of aesthetic medicine is knowing what to use, when to use it, and when not to use it.And since it's summer, I'm also breaking down some of the treatments we can still safely do this time of year.For more from me on pro-aging, check out my book, The Pro-Aging Playbook.

"Is your dick going to be synced to porn?"That's not hypothetical — it's already on the market. Here, intimacy expert Susan Bratton walks me through "weird" phenomena at the frontier of sex tech and AI, including synchronized strokers, tele-dildonics (I'll bet that's a word you've never come across before), role-player game (RPG) worlds where you can get down and dirty with an Aztec warrior woman, and adaptive AI that learns what gets you off and gives you more of it.But where does this genuinely help? And where can it quietly wreck your dopamine system and/or real-world relationships? We delve into all of it, including the exact device suite that Susan and her boyfriend use for long-distance sex. Imagine being thousands of miles apart, still having synchronized orgasms on video. (I did not expect the "hard-boiled egg" comparison, but you'll get it once you hear it.)Plus:How a woman can regnerate her vaginal tissue (YES, this helps if she's dry after/during perimenopause/menopause)The 96% statistic about what most porn is actually showing youThe ancient technique that separates orgasm from ejaculationWhy penis pumps are not the cheesy novelty you think they areAnd a fundamental truth that Susan and I agree on: The best sex tech in the world means nothing without the communication skills underneath it.

"We just talk about boy band Jesus." Nick Freitas breaks down what biblical masculinity actually is and the five pillars every Christian man is called to build: spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual, and professional. Host Jeremy Stalnecker sits down with Nick Freitas, author of THE MAN BOOK, host of Making the Argument, husband of 27 years and father of three, for a conversation about why men quietly walked away from the church, and what it takes to bring them back. Nick doesn't blame the culture and he doesn't hand out a 12-step program. He goes to scripture: what does God actually require of a man? Out of that comes the five-pillar framework he teaches, spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual, professional, with the receipts for each one. Along the way: why "touchy-feely" church drove him off before special forces brought him back, why hyper-masculinity is the same error in the opposite direction, why he tells young men to get a "violent hobby" (and the caveats that go with it), what it means to be the patriarch of a multi-generational family, and why every phase of a man's life has a job attached to it, including the last one.

"Work-life balance isn't a thing... it's about work-life harmony." In a world obsessed with digital efficiency and quick fixes, the real currency of a meaningful life remains independent thought, presence, and intentional effort. In this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, Paul Mersino, President and CEO of Butzel, breaks down why true leadership requires excellence, mentorship, and continuous improvement. From starting as a young student guided by a transformative professor to steering a historic law firm as it approaches its 175th anniversary, Paul shares key lessons on leading with heart, embracing work-life harmony, and surrounding yourself with a team that pushes you to aggregate daily marginal gains.   10 Memorable Quotes: "If you could do everything just 1% better... and you aggregate up all of those little marginal gains, think of how much further you're going to be ahead." "You are who you are when nobody is watching. And that's integrity." "Iron sharpens iron, and steel sharpens steel." "If people turned off cable news and social media and looked next door at their neighbors, they'd realize the world is actually a pretty good place." "Work-life balance isn't a thing... it's about work-life harmony." "Moving fast isn't necessarily a threat or too big of a risk—you either get it right fast or find out sooner so you can adjust." "History's innovation is just history repeating itself looking different." "You can be a zealous advocate and a zealous competitor and still do it professionally like a gentleman or a lady." "Inspecting excellence is about focusing less on what's going wrong and elevating more of what's going right." "Gratitude doesn't change your circumstances; it changes your capacity to carry them." 10 Key Takeaways: The Life-Changing Power of Mentorship: How a dedicated professor founding a mock trial team sparked a passion that launched a multi-decade career in law. Inspecting Excellence and Marginal Gains: Focusing on daily 1% improvements across all operations to create compounding, unstoppable progress over time. The "PR Problem" of Human Kindness: Recognizing that real-world kindness hasn't declined—our perception of it has been distorted by negative media cycles. Embracing Work-Life Harmony: Moving past the rigid trade-offs of "work-life balance" to build a synergistic lifestyle where professional passion and personal fulfillment energize each other. Radical Candor and Psychological Safety: Cultivating a team culture so tight and trusting that colleagues can give direct, honest feedback without destroying relationships. Combatting AI Isolation with Connection: Addressing employee anxiety around AI by intentionally using saved time for deeper mentorship, cross-functional collaboration, and human presence. Respectful Dissonance and Tactical Empathy: Setting ego aside in high-stakes negotiations and trial advocacy to find common ground and convert adversaries into friends. Honoring Legacy Through Shared History: Building firm culture by constantly communicating history, values, and traditions across generations and remote offices. The 3 Pillars of Trustworthy Communication: Over-communicating openly, speaking candidly, and actively soliciting feedback to continuously grow. Leading with Integrity: Embracing the mindset that true professional success is defined by how you act when no one is watching.   About our Guest: Paul M.
