Often what we need to do is re-learn something we've already learned! As I start to prepare the programs, I think, "I don't have anything new to say.” And I start to panic because I haven't got a new idea or a new topic to present. But God reminds me repetition is the way we learn. Do you, like me, have to learn and re-learn and re-learn the lessons God wants to teach you? I'm amazed at the patience of our Lord, as I see how slow I am to truly learn and obey all I know. God will work on one area of my life, and I'll think I've made some progress. Then I look back a few weeks or months later and realize I need to learn again what God has already taught me. How easily I forget; how easily I go back into old habits and wrong ways of thinking. What I'm learning from all this is I must be prepared to re-learn many times the things I've already learned. I must go back and repeat because repetition is absolutely essential for me. I think of the verse to the old hymn which says, "Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it; prone to leave the Lord I love.” Truly "prone to wander" is a good description of me. How about you? Let me encourage you, if you find yourself in this same dilemma, learn to re-learn. Go back and listen again to what God has already taught you. Do a lot of review. If there were books which spoke to your heart, read them again. If you've heard messages that made an impact on you, listen again and again. Repeat and repeat what you already know. That's another good reason to keep a journal of the things God is saying to you and what you've been learning from the Bible, so you can go back and re-read those things which you'll otherwise forget. It's a good way to re-learn. Plan to be a re-learner, so that you're not so prone to wander from the good and basic lessons God has already taught you.

We're always wishing we were somewhere we're not. Someone else's body, someone else's business, someone else's energy. But what if the very thing you're judging yourself for not having… is simply a sign you're in a different stage of your life? In this episode, I'm sharing a real-life moment that triggered this realization, seeing a ripped friend on Instagram and immediately turning it into a reason to beat myself up. Classic. But it cracked something open for me about stages, levers, and how we try to match someone else's life without knowing what they had to turn down to turn that thing up. We talk about: The "lever theory." how different areas of your life go up and down (and that's not a problem) The danger of comparing your current stage to someone else's highlight reel Why your mind always wants to rush you out of your current season Whether you're in a build season, a rest season, or a healing season, this one will help you see that you're not behind. You're exactly where you're meant to be. Your only job? Trust your timeline.  If this episode made you laugh, think differently, or just feel a little less crazy—send it to a friend or share it on socials. That's how we keep the ripple going.

QFF: Quick Fire Friday – Your 20-Minute Growth Powerhouse! Welcome to Quick Fire Friday, the Grow A Small Business podcast series that is designed to deliver simple, focused and actionable insights and key takeaways in less than 20 minutes a week. Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends! In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Rob Cameron speaks with Rick Calabrese, a specialist in business valuation and owner of Commonwealth M&A. Rick delves into the critical role of professional valuations for small business owners, particularly those in the lower middle market with revenues ranging from $5 million to $100 million. He explains why business value is often an intangible asset that requires expert assessment. Rick also highlights common factors that impact valuations, such as heavy owner involvement and customer concentration. Sharing insights from his firm's track record—successfully selling seven businesses in just two and a half years—he underscores the importance of strengthening operational systems, refining financial metrics, and building a trusted team of advisors. Ultimately, Rick emphasizes that thoughtful preparation and a clear plan are essential to achieving a successful business exit. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Get a Professional Valuation: Your business is likely your largest asset, yet its value is often intangible. Engage valuation specialists to understand its true worth, especially before planning an exit. Reduce Owner Dependence: Businesses that are overly reliant on the owner are harder to sell. Build strong teams and systems so the company can thrive without you. The most attractive businesses are often run by owners who can afford to be on vacation. Diversify Your Customer Base: Avoid heavy customer concentration. Buyers see too much revenue tied to a few clients as a risk. Broaden your client mix and aim for recurring revenue streams. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Plan Early & Be Patient: Preparing for a sale can take years. Strengthen operations, improve financial metrics, and update valuations regularly so you're ready when the time—and the market—is right. Build a Trusted Deal Team: Selling a business isn't like selling a house. Surround yourself with experienced advisors—specialist lawyers, CPAs, and M&A experts—to guide you through this complex process. Understand the Buyer's Perspective: Buyers focus on risk, stability, and future cash flows. Position your business as a predictable, systematized operation to command a premium price. One action small business owners can take: According to Rick Calabrese, one action a small business owner should take is to reduce owner dependence by building strong teams and systems—so the business can operate smoothly without them, making it far more attractive and valuable to future buyers.

Have you found yourself yelling at your child, and being filled with regret?Do you tell yourself often, "I just need more patient." Friend... I'm here to share with you in this short episode, that there are 3 MUCH more powerful P-words that can get you into a calmer relationship with your child.  And these three steps are very simple and doable.  The truth is far more liberating – and easier than you can imagine.The root of our angry outbursts often isn't a patience deficit but what I call "time travel" – mentally jumping backward into regrets or forward into fears about our child's future. This emotional time travel amplifies our reactions, turning minor frustrations into major blowups. But there's a way out that doesn't require superhuman patience.The solution lies in mastering the three P's: Plan, Pause, and Practice. First, create clear agreements in advance for recurring challenges like bedtime or technology use. As one mom discovered, when she established consistent plans and followed through, battles decreased dramatically. Second, master the art of pausing with the "Whoa, Low, Slow" technique – interrupting your automatic reactions, speaking calmly, and creating space for thoughtful responses. Finally, give yourself permission to practice imperfectly, approaching each challenging interaction as a learning opportunity rather than a test of your parenting worth.These practical strategies have transformed countless family dynamics, including one where "knockdown, three-hour screaming fights" have become a thing of the past. The mother's own father noticed the change, commenting, "You've completely changed how you're parenting the kids." This isn't about becoming a different person – it's about equipping yourself with effective tools that work in real life.Ready to break free from the yelling cycle?

What if pressing pause on your career isn't the end—but the beginning of becoming more fully you? In this episode, I sit down with Neha Ruch—founder of Mother Untitled and author of The Power Pause—to explore what it means to hold ambition and motherhood in the same breath. Neha shares her deeply personal story of stepping off the traditional career ladder after Stanford Business School, embracing full-time motherhood, and birthing a movement to rebrand what it means to be a “stay-at-home mom.” Together, we unpack the emotional nuances of downshifting, the power of redefining success, and why support isn't optional—it's essential. Whether you're deep in the trenches of early motherhood, navigating the messy middle of building a creative dream, or sprinting into a new season of career growth, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and more free to design a life that actually fits. Tune in to hear: Why Neha believes ambition doesn't die in motherhood—it evolves How she navigated career pauses without losing herself or her vision What it really takes to keep a creative project alive in the early years The truth about modern stay-at-home motherhood (and how it's misrepresented) How to communicate with your partner, kids, and yourself through career transitions Why having help is not a luxury—it's a form of dignity How to drop the guilt and trust the timing of your life What “the new ambition” looks like for women leading in life and at home About Neha Ruch: Neha is the founder of Mother Untitled, a digital platform redefining ambition for women in caregiving seasons. A Stanford MBA and former brand strategist, Neha now leads conversations on modern motherhood, identity, and work. Her debut book The Power Pause: How to Plan a Career Break After Kids and Come Back Stronger Than Ever is out now from Putnam.

Jeremy Keil explores Barron's 5 strategies to respond to market volatility with your retirement portfolio. Are you feeling nervous about what today's market volatility could mean for your retirement? You're not alone. A recent Barron's article titled “Market Anxiety Is Running High. How to Secure Your Retirement Portfolio” caught my attention—not just for the headline, but because it echoes what I hear from so many of you. Retirement can already feel uncertain, and when the stock market adds another layer of unpredictability, it's natural to start asking: “What should I be doing with my investments?” Let's explore five strategies—based on that Barron's article and my own experience as a retirement-focused financial planner—that you can use to help protect your retirement income from the ups and downs of the market. 1. Be Realistic About Market Returns The last decade has seen significant growth for the stock market. From 2009 to 2024, returns were some of the strongest in history. But expecting this trend to continue indefinitely could lead to disappointment. In fact, projections from Morningstar suggest that U.S. equities could return just 3.4% to 6.7% annually over the next decade. Compare that to the roughly 20% growth we saw in 2023 and 2024, and it's a sobering reality check. Being realistic doesn't mean avoiding stocks altogether—it means adjusting your expectations and preparing for a range of outcomes. 2. Get Your Asset Mix Right (Based on When You Need the Money) While it may be tempting to invest based on how the market is performing at the moment, Barron's suggests that your personal needs with your investment should be high on the list of drivers in your investment strategy. Your short-term money (needed within 1–3 years) could be in short-term, stable investments. Long-term money (needed 10+ years out) could go toward growth-oriented investments like stocks. Too often, I see people keeping everything in the market when they're just a year away from retirement, hoping for “one more good year.” And sometimes it backfires—just like it did in early 2020 when COVID hit, and the market took a steep dive. Plan ahead. By adjusting your retirement investments 3 three years before your retirement date, you could have more of a buffer, just in case you retire earlier than expected. 3. Diversify and Rebalance It's tempting to stick only with what's worked recently—especially U.S. stocks, which have produced strong returns since 2009. But diversification means having exposure to different areas of the market, including international stocks. And while international stocks have lagged in recent years, 2025 has shown a surprising shift: as of early June, international indexes are up nearly 19%—ahead of the S&P 500's 2% gain. You never know when one part of your portfolio will outperform. That's why it's important not just to diversify, but also to rebalance—systematically adjusting your investment strategy to maintain your target allocation. 4. Maintain a “Goldilocks” Level of Cash Cash can earn some decent interest—around 4% as of 2025. That doesn't necessarily mean you should pile all your money into savings, but it does mean you have the option to keep a portion of your retirement funds in cash or high-quality bonds for short-term needs. How much cash is enough? Many financial advisors recommend keeping 1 to 5 years' worth of withdrawals in cash or short-term investments. The right number for you depends on your retirement timeline, expenses, and risk tolerance. 5. Bolster Other Sources of Income One of the most underappreciated strategies for navigating market volatility is increasing your guaranteed income. That could include: Delaying Social Security to maximize your benefit Maximizing your pension payout, if available Exploring annuities to create additional income streams I know the word “annuity” often brings up mixed feelings.

How can a strategic “no” be just as valuable to your business as a “yes”? When you're growing, it's easy to feel pressure to say yes to every opportunity, client, and commitment that seems beneficial. But the truth is, saying no to things that are misaligned with your values, short-term temptations, or simply clutter in your life is one of the most powerful tools you have for building your ideal life—and supporting your clients in doing the same.When it comes to leading change in your own life, there are so many small concepts and principles that make the changes you are seeking so much easier, and the power of no is one of them. Think about it–if you're feeling overwhelmed, off-track, or uncertain, the answer likely isn't doing more, but saying a few bold, intentional nos. These strategic nos are often the difference between burnout and sustainable coaching success. In this episode, we're exploring your willingness and capacity to say no and how doing so can unlock clarity, business alignment, and coaching success.It's normal to feel some resistance when you begin practicing the power of no. Turning down any opportunity can feel counterintuitive when you're building a business, but every conscious no creates space for a more meaningful yes. The transformations that you and your clients crave can and will happen when you say no to the things that do not serve your higher purpose.From my own experience and the work I've done with clients in Master Coach Training, I know that your greatest gifts, resources, and abilities come to the surface when you are able to boldly claim what you want and back it up with a willingness to say no to things that do not align. You can create the quality of life that you are craving when you start with a strategic “no.” Let's get started!What you'll learn:An exercise to uncover what's cluttering your life—and what becomes possible when you build your muscle of saying noThe incredible lessons that we can learn from nature about space and alignmentThree types of no and how to identify them: the misaligned no, the short-term temptation no, and the clutter noA personal story about saying no to a seemingly great opportunity and why it was the most aligned decision I could makeHow to trust yourself to recognize when a yes is truly aligned with your coaching successYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireMolly's Website: MollyClaire.ComMaster Coach Training 2026 Application Open Have a question or thoughts about the podcast?

How to Stay Rooted in God's Word When Summer Distracts You Show Summary In this episode of *Anchored in the Word*, Dave Jenkins explores a timely question: How can Christians stay rooted in Scripture when summer distractions pull at our attention? Vacations, longer days, and busy routines can quietly shift our focus away from God's Word. But the Bible calls us to be like a tree planted by streams of water (*Psalm 1*), flourishing in every season. Join us as we look at key passages—Psalm 1, Joshua 1, Colossians 3, and John 15—and draw insights from church history to help you remain anchored in truth. Listen to the Episode Watch the Episode Staying Rooted in God's Word This Summer As summer approaches, routines change, and distractions seem to multiply. Vacations, family time, and longer days often lead to the gentle but dangerous drift away from the spiritual habits we've worked hard to build. But even in the busiest season, God's Word remains unchanging. Psalm 1:1–3 paints a picture of a person rooted deeply in God's Word, like a tree planted by streams of water. It doesn't matter the season—the tree flourishes because it is nourished by something that doesn't change with the weather. This is the type of spiritual stability that God desires for us, even when life feels chaotic. What does it mean to stay rooted in God's Word this summer? It means choosing to prioritize Scripture over distraction. It doesn't mean doing more, but being more intentional about how we engage with God's Word. Whether you're on vacation or staying home, here are a few simple ways to stay grounded: Plan intentional time in Scripture each day—no matter how small. Use the ESV audio Bibles to stay engaged when traveling. Meditate deeply on a single passage, rather than reading widely. Involve your family in Scripture time, making it a part of your daily rhythm.

Limiter le réchauffement climatique à + 1,5 °C est désormais impossible. Pour ne pas dépasser les 2 °C et espérer tenir le second objectif de l'accord de Paris, il faut agir vite. Or, depuis début 2025, la transition climatique et les questions environnementales se trouvent piétinées dans le chaos géopolitique créé par l'administration Trump.En France, plusieurs camps politiques – du parti présidentiel Renaissance jusqu'à l'extrême droite – s'en prennent aux normes environnementales en vigueur : suppression des zones à faibles émissions (ZFE), loi Duplomb sur l'agriculture, volonté de plusieurs figures du parti Les Républicains (LR) et du Rassemblement national (RN) de supprimer l'Agence de la transition écologique (Ademe), entre autres. Ces initiatives s'inscrivent dans un contexte global de recul de l'action climatique et écologique, qui s'est accéléré avec la réélection de Donald Trump aux Etats-Unis, mais qui avait commencé dès l'irruption de la guerre en Ukraine, en février 2022.Comment mesurer ce ralentissement de la lutte climatique ? Quelles en sont les causes ? Et quel avenir ce renoncement dessine-t-il ? Dans cet épisode du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », Mathieu Goar, journaliste au service Planète du Monde, répond à ces questions.Un épisode d'Adélaïde Tenaglia, réalisé par Quentin Tenaud. Présentation et rédaction en chef : Adèle Ponticelli. Dans cet épisode : extrait du discours d'investiture de Donald Trump, le 20 janvier 2025, extrait du discours de politique générale de François Bayrou à l'Assemblée nationale, le 14 janvier 2025, extrait du discours d'Emmanuel Macron à l'ouverture du Sommet des océans, le 9 juin 2025.Cet épisode a été publié le 2 juillet 2025.

Note: This is a rebroadcast.A lot of self-improvement advice and content feels empty. And there's a reason for that. It often offers routines and habits to practice, but doesn't offer a strong, overarching reason to practice them.That's why the self-improvement advice of the Founding Fathers is particularly compelling. Though they were imperfect men, they had a clear why for trying to become better than they were. For the Founders, life was about the pursuit of happiness, and they equated happiness with excellence and virtue — a state that wasn't about feeling good, but being good. The Founders pursued happiness not only for the personal benefit in satisfaction and tranquility it conferred, but for the way the attainment of virtue would benefit society as a whole; they believed that political self-government required personal self-government.Today on the show, Jeffrey Rosen, a professor of law, the president of the National Constitution Center, and the author of The Pursuit of Happiness, shares the book the Founders read that particularly influenced their idea of happiness as virtue and self-mastery. We talk about the schedules and routines the Founders kept, the self-examination practices they did to improve their character, and how they worked on their flaws, believing that, while moral perfection was ultimately an impossible goal to obtain, it was still something worth striving for.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM's series on Benjamin Franklin's 13 VirtuesBen Franklin Virtues Journal available in the AoM StoreAoM Article: Young Benjamin Franklin's Plan of ConductAoM Article: Thomas Jefferson's 10 Rules for LifeAoM Article: The Libraries of Famous Men — Thomas Jefferson's Recommended ReadingAoM Article: The Best John Adams QuotesAoM Article: George Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and ConversationAoM Podcast #366: Teach Yourself Like George WashingtonAoM Article: The Spiritual Disciplines — Study and Self-ExaminationTusculan Disputations by Marcus Tullius CiceroThe Golden Verses of Pythagoras Connect With Jeffrey RosenThe National Constitution Center website We the People podcastJeffrey's faculty pageJeffrey on X

We dive into what it really means to communicate about sex (without shutting down), how to build emotional and physical intimacy, and why "generous listening" might be the most underrated skill in relationships.

Sponsorships aren't just about slapping your logo on something anymore. If you want to make an impact, you need to think bigger, bolder—and know when to step into the driver's seat.That's the appeal of F1 sponsorships, where precision meets pageantry, and brand integration is as strategic as the race itself. In this episode, we tap into that high-speed energy with the help of our special guest, Ondar Tarlow, marketing consultant for action sports. Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from global sponsorships, smart storytelling, and knowing when to go all in—and when to walk away.About our guest, Ondar TarlowOndar Tarlow has over 20 years of experience in marketing and branding. He's known for engaging audiences through data-driven insights and witty, creative storytelling to achieve results. He has been leveraging AI to boost campaign performance results by 5x with propensity models and cutting production time by 75% using Generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Adobe Firefly, all while upholding IP standards.As Chief Marketing Officer at Kinecta Federal Credit Union and Pacific Premier Bank, he spearheaded award-winning campaigns that resulted in over $1.7 billion in product volume and tens of thousands of new customers. These successes earned him industry recognition, including Diamond Awards for brand awareness and a Top 100 Marketer award.Currently, Ondar serves as a marketing consultant for motorsports, financial, and lifestyle brands, partnering with organizations like Fast Lane Drive. His passion for motorsports, including attending 11 Formula 1 races worldwide, inspires his focus on high-performance teamwork and precision. Ondar's sponsorship expertise - demonstrated through collaborations with the LA Chargers, LA Galaxy, Anaheim Ducks, Luft 10 (Porsche), and BeachLife Music Festival - highlights his ability to connect brands with their ideal target audiences. Ondar holds a BA in Psychology from California State University, Northridge, and has earned digital marketing certifications from UCLA and trained with the American Red Cross in Crisis Communications and Media Relations. Ondar is also dedicated to community development, serving on the board of Junior Achievement, which provides youth with financial education and career readiness tools.What B2B Companies Can Learn From F1 Sponsorships:Don't just show up—integrate. It's not enough to slap your logo on something and call it a day. True brand partnerships go deeper. “Really any company that can afford it, can get a logo. But when you're doing a true brand integration like Oracle has done with Red Bull, that's really where things can pay off.” The ROI comes from relevance, not just visibility. Think about how your product can become part of the story.No plan, no payoff. As Ondar puts it: “Plan, plan. plan. And then data, data, and data.” B2B marketers must tie sponsorships to broader company strategy from the very beginning. That means aligning with your CEO and CFO, knowing what problem you're trying to solve, and figuring out how to measure impact—before you sign the dotted line.Go niche to go big. F1's PacSun collaboration proves you don't have to outspend Rolex to make an impact. You just need the right story. “They really thought about it... and what they've been able to create is an interest in F1 from this demographic.” By focusing on Gen Alpha and teenage girls, PacSun built a new fanbase and drove fashion sales—without buying trackside banners. In B2B, the same principle applies: niche audiences, well-served, can generate outsized returns.Quotes*“You have to test. There's going to be periods of time where you're gonna do something new, and you can't be afraid to fail…When you're finding out something that's working, then you need to double down and you need to take the risks. You need to take those risks and move forward with them. Things that aren't working, don't marry yourself to them. Figure out what you need to tweak and then continue to test. Marketing is not an exact science.”*“ Plan, plan, plan, and then data, data, and data. So first off, the plan is you have to make sure you're aware of what the strategy is of the company that you're with. And if you're a CMO, you're obviously responsible for the marketing strategy, and you should have a seat at the table as part of developing the strategy as far as the company, in a whole. So that's first off, and then understanding exactly what the challenge is, and then how are you going to be able to come up with a solution based on the decisions that you're making based on brand integration. And then from there is what data can you capture and how can you utilize that data so that you can drive metrics and those reporting metrics to show exactly what the benefit is of the partnership is that you're involved with.”*“ Brands can really leverage [figuring] out what the storyline is. To get the human aspect to it. And I think that that is a great opportunity for brands to look at is that if they're gonna invest in a driver or they're gonna invest in a team is what personalities are making up that team there.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Ondar Tarlow, marketing consultant for action sports. [01:07] Why F1 Sponsorships?[02:59] Ondar's Background[04:50] The Rise of F1 in the US[06:34] Understanding F1 Sponsorships[11:28] ROI on F1 Sponsorships[15:03] Drive to Survive: Impact on F1[18:08] Anatomy of an F1 Sponsorship Deal[24:47] The High Stakes of F1 Sponsorships[28:25] The Appeal of F1 Events[29:32] Strategic Brand Integration in F1 Sponsorships[36:34] The Importance of Planning and Data in Sponsorships[40:53] Leveraging F1 Storylines for Brand Success[45:06] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Ondar on LinkedInAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

C dans l'air du 1er juillet 2025 - Canicule : l'angoisse s'installeLES EXPERTS :- ARNAUD GOSSEMENT - Avocat en droit de l'environnement - Professeur associé à Paris 1- Dr GÉRALD KIERZEK - Médecin urgentiste, directeur médical - Doctissimo- AUDREY GARRIC - Journaliste au service Planète - Le Monde - LAURENT ROMEJKO - Journaliste spécialiste des questions météorologiques, présentateur Météo à la carte - France 3

C dans l'air du 1er juillet 2025 - Canicule : l'angoisse s'installeAprès plusieurs jours d'une chaleur étouffante, la France est entrée dans le dur de la canicule aujourd'hui. La vigilance rouge, le plus haut niveau de surveillance, est activée dans 16 départements, de la Vienne à l'Aube avec toute l'Île-de-France, et quasiment tout le reste du pays est placé en vigilance orange. Les maximales devraient atteindre 36 °C, voire 41 °C, avec deux prochaines nuits qui s'annoncent "tropicales", avant un progressif rafraichissement attendu par la façade ouest.D'ici là, Météo France prévoit un pic caniculaire "très fort" dans le bassin parisien avec une chaleur "particulièrement éprouvante". Le gouvernement a multiplié les appels à la vigilance. À Paris, des restrictions de circulation ont été mises en place. Au niveau national, les obligations des entreprises sont renforcées, les services d'urgence sont sur le pont. Le réacteur de la centrale nucléaire de Golfech dans le Tarn-et-Garonne a été mis à l'arrêt en raison de la hausse de la température dans la Garonne voisine. Près de 1896 écoles publiques sont également fermées, "totalement ou partiellement". Mais ces décisions suscitent débat et polémique.Dimanche soir, en conférence de presse, la ministre de la Santé a rappelé que les fermetures d'écoles devaient se faire "au cas par cas". Mais face à la vague de chaleur, de plus en plus de maires ont pris la décision de fermer les établissements et beaucoup critiquent l'absence de réaction sérieuse du ministère ou de "directives précises". Les élus pointent aussi les conséquences d'un fonds vert dont le budget a été raboté. Mis en place en janvier 2023 pour aider les collectivités à s'adapter, il était doté de 2 milliards dont 500 millions d'euros dédiés à la rénovation des écoles. Mais il a été réduit à 1, 5 milliard en 2024 et 1 ,15 milliard cette année à cause de la rigueur budgétaire. De son côté, Marine Le Pen, a fustigé l'action du gouvernement, qui selon elle "marche encore sur la tête" en demandant "à des familles d'arrêter de travailler du jour au lendemain car les écoles ne peuvent plus accueillir nos bambins, tout en leur conseillant d'aller au cinéma du coin qui lui, est climatisé". La leader du parti d'extrême droite a également réclamé "un grand plan pour la climatisation", relayé par son allié Eric Ciotti qui souhaite équiper en priorité "écoles, hôpitaux et maisons de retraite". Dans la foulée, sur le réseau social X, Marine Tondelier, secrétaire nationale d'Europe-Ecologie-les-Verts a raillé l'idée : "La France subit une canicule historique. Le programme écologique de Marine Le Pen : acheter des climatiseurs", a-t-elle écrit. La ministre de la Transition écologique s'est, elle, étonnée de la sortie médiatique de Marine Le Pen. "Ceux qui parlent (Marine Le Pen et Eric Ciotti, ndlr) de grand plan de climatisation viennent de découvrir la lune alors qu'ils ont voté contre une loi il y a deux semaines qui permettait de faire des réseaux de froid", a dénoncé Agnès Pannier-Runacher sur le plateau de BFMTV.Fonds vert raboté, zones à faibles émissions supprimées, normes agricoles, pesticides… Depuis le début de l'année, une quantité inédite de votes et de décisions politiques ont mis à mal l'ambition écologique du pays, détricotant des objectifs environnementaux contraignants adoptés ces dernières années en matière d'énergie, de transports, de logement et d'agriculture.LES EXPERTS :- ARNAUD GOSSEMENT - Avocat en droit de l'environnement - Professeur associé à Paris 1- Dr GÉRALD KIERZEK - Médecin urgentiste, directeur médical - Doctissimo- AUDREY GARRIC - Journaliste au service Planète - Le Monde - LAURENT ROMEJKO - Journaliste spécialiste des questions météorologiques, présentateur Météo à la carte - France 3

How does a landscape maintenance expert become an indispensable ally in the cemetery care industry? Don Winsett, a strategy consultant and executive coach, discussed his journey from working with Davey Tree Expert Company to supporting the death care industry. His focus on enhancing cemetery maintenance practices reflects his passion for aiding communities in maintaining serene memorial spaces. By leveraging his extensive experience, he helps businesses navigate the complexities of perpetual care. Key Takeaways 1. Cemetery care involves much more than just mowing the lawn. It requires a team of professionals managing plant health, tree health, erosion, and infestations to ensure safety and aesthetic beauty. 2. Trees are central to cemetery landscapes but require careful monitoring to prevent hazards such as falling branches. Proper tree care is crucial for safety and maintaining the tranquility of the cemetery. 3. Continuous maintenance of cemeteries is essential to prevent overgrowth and deterioration. This involves regularly reinvesting earnings from plot sales into maintaining the grounds indefinitely. 4. The serene and well-maintained environment of cemeteries plays a vital role in the healing process for visitors, ensuring they have a peaceful place for reflection. 5. Hiring a single company to handle all aspects of landscape maintenance in cemeteries avoids confusion, reduces complications, and ensures consistency in care. This comprehensive approach is more efficient and cost-effective in the long term.

Alors que la France suffoque sous un dôme de chaleur – et que les événements extrêmes, tels que les canicules, sont appelés à se multiplier en raison du changement climatique –, des scientifiques français ont sonné l'alarme, jeudi 19 juin. Selon ce collectif, qui compte des chercheurs de renom, anciens auteurs du Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat, dont la paléoclimatologue Valérie Masson-Delmotte, limiter le réchauffement à 1,5 °C n'est « désormais plus atteignable ».Ils se fondent pour cela sur une étude internationale publiée, mercredi 18 juin, dans la revue internationale Earth System Science Data, qui montre que le budget carbone résiduel, c'est-à-dire les émissions à ne pas dépasser pour garder plus de 50 % de chances de limiter le réchauffement de la planète à 1,5 °C, est presque épuisé.Que cela signifie-t-il ? Le deuxième objectif de l'accord de Paris (+ 2 °C), est-il toujours atteignable ? Peut-on imaginer repasser sous le seuil de 1,5 °C à l'aide de technologies de captation du dioxyde de carbone ?

C dans l'air du 30 juin 2025 - Canicule : quand la France suffoqueLa canicule s'est installée sur presque toute la France. Quatre-vingt-quatre départements, où vivent près de 88 % des Français, sont désormais en vigilance orange canicule. Le "paroxysme" de l'épisode est attendu en milieu de semaine, explique Météo-France, avec des pointes à 41 °C et "des minimales très élevées, comprises entre 20 °C et 24 °C, voire un peu plus très localement".Face à cet épisode caniculaire "intense", une réunion interministérielle de crise s'est tenue dimanche soir. À son issue, les entreprises ont été appelées à "protéger les salariés" et à adapter leurs horaires, par la ministre du Travail. La ministre de l'Éducation nationale a, elle, rappelé les mesures à prendre dans les écoles lors de fortes chaleurs, pouvant aller jusqu'à l'autorisation de garder les enfants à domicile. Quelque 200 écoles publiques, sur 45 000, font l'objet d'une fermeture partielle ou totale ce lundi, mardi ou mercredi.Le Premier ministre a également enjoint ce lundi chacun "à la plus grande prudence et vigilance, notamment envers les populations les plus fragiles". "Une vague de chaleur, c'est plusieurs milliers de morts", a insisté la ministre de la Transition écologique ce matin sur Sud Radio, en répétant que les employeurs devaient protéger leurs salariés.Outre la santé des Français, cette canicule impacte l'environnement : 25 départements étaient, dimanche, en vigilance pour la sécheresse, et dix au niveau de crise, entraînant des restrictions importantes des usages. Un contexte propice aux départs de feu : dans l'Aude, un incendie s'est déclaré hier dans le massif des Corbières en raison d'un barbecue mal éteint.Cette 50e vague de chaleur nationale recensée depuis 1947, la 33e du XXIe siècle, s'inscrit dans un contexte de réchauffement climatique, qui augmente l'intensité et la fréquence des canicules. Des périodes où, désormais, les prévisionnistes de Météo-France voient les attaques et les critiques se multiplier. Sur les réseaux sociaux, ils sont de plus en plus souvent accusés d'affoler la population ou d'être des idéologues au service de la lutte contre le changement climatique. Et ces attaques peuvent aller très loin. Après avoir annoncé une canicule sur son compte X, Guillaume Séchet, présentateur météo de BFM TV, a été insulté par de nombreux internautes et menacé — une raison qui l'a poussé à effacer sa publication. D'autres, pour se protéger, envisagent de fermer leurs comptes sur X.Un réseau sur lequel, depuis son rachat par Elon Musk, les comptes climatosceptiques sont particulièrement actifs, explique David Chavalarias, mathématicien et directeur de recherche au CNRS. Co-fondateur de l'observatoire Climatoscope, il pointe un regain d'activité des réseaux climatosceptiques sur la plateforme, dont l'objectif est de semer le doute sur la réalité du changement climatique et de ralentir toutes les actions visant à réduire l'empreinte de l'humanité sur le climat.Nos journalistes l'ont rencontré. Ils sont également allés aux Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.Sur le littoral méditerranéen, la commune camarguaise est la plus exposée à l'érosion et à la submersion. Mais alors que plusieurs rapports ont dénoncé l'absence de "stratégie d'adaptation" face aux risques, le débat s'envenime parfois sur la meilleure marche à suivre. Jusqu'à présent, les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, comme le reste du littoral, ont adopté une position défensive, en renforçant chaque année digues et épis avec des milliers de mètres cubes de sable. Mais jusqu'à quand ? Selon les scientifiques, depuis 40 ans, l'eau monte de plus en plus vite, jusqu'à 6 millimètres par an. Cela signifie qu'à ce rythme, d'ici 2100, la Méditerranée aura monté de 40 à 70 centimètres.LES EXPERTS :- ARNAUD GOSSEMENT - Avocat en droit de l'environnement - Professeur associé à Paris 1- Dr GÉRALD KIERZEK - Médecin urgentiste, directeur médical - Doctissimo- AUDREY GARRIC - Journaliste au service Planète - Le Monde - LAURENT ROMEJKO - Journaliste spécialiste des questions météorologiques, présentateur Météo à la carte - France 3PRÉSENTATION : Caroline Roux - Axel de Tarlé - REDIFFUSION : du lundi au vendredi vers 23h40.PRODUCTION DES PODCASTS: Jean-Christophe ThiéfineRÉALISATION : Nicolas Ferraro, Bruno Piney, Franck Broqua, Alexandre Langeard, Corentin Son, Benoît LemoinePRODUCTION : France Télévisions / Maximal ProductionsRetrouvez C DANS L'AIR sur internet & les réseaux :INTERNET : francetv.frFACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/Cdanslairf5TWITTER : https://twitter.com/cdanslairINSTAGRAM :https://www.instagram.com/cdanslair/

This coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Cloak of Dragons, Book #1 in the Cloak Mage series, (as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy) at my Payhip store: DRAGONAUDIO50 The coupon code is valid through July 21, 2025. So if you need a new audiobook this summer, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates   Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 257 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is June 27th, 2025, and today we are looking at mindset obstacles to writing. Before we get to that, we'll have Coupon of the Week, an update at my current writing progress, and then we will do Question of the Week.   First up, let's do Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Cloak of Dragons, Book Number One in the Cloak Mage series (as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy) at my Payhip store. That is DRAGONAUDIO50. And as always, the coupon code and the links to the store will be included in the show notes. This coupon code is valid through July the 21st, 2025, so if you need a new audiobook this summer, we've got you covered. Now let's have an update on my current writing and audiobook projects. The rough draft of Shield of Power, the sixth and final book in the Shield War series, is done and I'm editing it. As of this recording, I am about 68% of the way through the first pass of editing. I had hoped to be a bit further along than I actually was, but there was a lot to do this week and because of that, I think it's going to slip to early July for the release date. I'd hoped to have it out in June, but I don't think that's going to happen, but it should be not too much longer once we get to July. Stealth and Spells Online: Final Quest, I'm 114,000 words into that. So I am very much hoping that will come out very quickly once Shield of Power is out. And I'm also 14,000 words into Ghost in the Siege, which would be the sixth and final book in the Ghost Armor series. So it sounds like my Super Summer of Finishing Things is well underway and making good progress. Hopefully I can continue that.   In audiobook news, Shield of Battle and Ghost in the Corruption are both essentially done in audio and just have to get through processing. Shield of Battle was narrated by Brad Wills and Ghost in the Corruption was narrated by Hollis McCarthy. They both did an excellent job and I'm looking forward to being able to share those audiobooks with you in July. So it looks like July is going to be a big month for releases with Shield of Power, Stealth and Spells Online: Final Quest, and then the audiobooks of Ghost in the Corruption and Shield of Battle. So lots to look forward to in July.   00:02:20 Question of the Week Now it's time for Question of the Week, which is intended to inspire interesting discussions of enjoyable topics. This week's question: how do you pass the time when you find yourself compelled to spend a good chunk of time waiting away from home or work (such as in the hospital waiting room, in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles, or waiting in your car to pick up someone from sports practice, a sort of situation like that)? And as you can expect, we had a range of answers.   Justin says: Reading your books.   Mary says: Reading.   David says: Reading or listening to books is my default. Sometimes email.   Keith says: I pace around mulling on problems that I otherwise have no time to think about.   Gary says: A variety of things. I do think it is good practice to teach yourself to wait an hour or more without something external to occupy your mind. My own opinion is that our constant need for distraction hinders us in many ways.   Mandy says: Reading. If I know I'm going to be waiting (or suspect it), I bring a book or my Kindle and I read. I almost always have a book in my car, too.   Mike says: I read books by Jonathan Moeller.   John says: I bring my tablet and read.   Juana says: I read.   Catriona says: Read a book or play a game on my phone. When I worked, I'd do emails, but I am retired now.   Tom says: Usually I read a book on my Kindle app on my phone. Often it's one of yours.   Bonnie says: Usually I scroll through Facebook or do one of the games on my phone or tablet. Don't usually read because I get focused and have a hard time tearing back to reality.   And Jesse says: Reading ebooks or thinking through Work problems for later. If I know up front it'll be an hour or more, I'll bring a laptop and tether it.   For myself, the answer is easy. I bring my laptop and work on my current book. The inspiration for this question was that I had to bring my car in for some maintenance, so I spent the time working on Stealth and Spells Online: Final Quest and got a thousand words more into it. I've been doing that for a long time. I think most of my books for the last 10 years, or at least a majority of them, I had a session where I worked in a waiting room on them. I think the earliest I can recall working in a book in a waiting room would be Soul of Skulls way back in 2013, possibly 2012.   00:04:22 Handling Obstacles as a Writer   Now onto our main topic of this week, obstacles. We're going to do a series of a couple mindset obstacles that get in the way of writers. The first one we're going to talk about is obstacles because no writer works without obstacles. Some of them are internal, like mental or physical illness, self-doubt, and perfectionism. Others are external, like having your fence collapse in a storm or being interrupted every five minutes by a toddler who needs something. There is a false belief that time is the biggest obstacle, and if only a writer could write full-time, they would finally be able to start writing or finish a draft. The sea of full-time writers with unfinished books would easily prove this wrong, as would the wide variety of traditionally published authors with full-time day jobs.   I would argue that the biggest obstacle you'll face is how well you handle any kind of obstacle and develop mental flexibility and resilience. In previous series, I've talked about some of the practical ways to help with distractions, procrastination, and managing time wasters. In this series, I'm going to focus on things that derail writers from a mindset perspective. In this episode, we're going to focus on five examples of obstacles that writers face and how to mentally shift your perspective on them.   #1: Getting started. The perfect is the enemy of the possible. I say this often, and I say it often because it's true. Many people don't want to write until they have perfect conditions and feel like they're creatively inspired. Those days I'm afraid, are quite few. It's more productive to work consistently within your limitations than to wait for inspiration and motivation to magically find you. It's generally easier to edit than it is to write, so just get something done on the page without editing as you go.   Activation energy is also the enemy of many. Essentially, some people struggle with transitions and starting something because it takes a lot of mental energy for them to get going or to switch gears. Routines remove the decision making that takes up a lot of that energy. Making the process of starting as easy and pleasant as possible also makes it less daunting. How can I make this easy? It is a great question to ask yourself. Start with a block of time that is so small it feels ridiculously easy, such as one minute. Write without stopping for one minute each day without making any edits, and you'll end up with paragraphs sooner rather than later.   #2: Short amounts of time with purpose add up over the long run. For example, our transcriptionist started writing 300 to 500 words each weekday for 15 minutes as a part of our November Writing Challenge. Even with taking time off for the holidays and real life stuff, she hit 50,000 words on her rough draft in May just by committing to the short burst of focused work as part of her daily routine.   For myself, I mentioned earlier that I'm 114,000 words into Stealth and Spells Online: Final Quest, and I started that back in October 2024, and I've been scratching away at it for 500 words a day for that entire time, which as you can clearly see, adds up. More time doesn't necessarily mean more productivity. A small liberal arts college was once concerned that students with a work study award (meaning a part time job on campus offered to those under a certain family income) didn't have as much time to study as their more privileged peers. What they found after looking into the matter was that students with work study awards were getting better grades, so they set out to interview them to find out why. Those they interviewed had schedules and routines for studying that the more affluent students hadn't developed. Even if you don't have the privilege of having a whole day free to do whatever you want, spending your day purposefully is far more important.   Finally, be honest about how you're actually spending your time. For example, the American Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that the average person surveyed spent 2.7 hours per day watching television, to say nothing of wasting time on social media or other forms of entertainment. By taking an honest look at how you're spending your time, you might find time that you can take from other less useful or even less enjoyable activities.   My mindset about managing my time is that I do try to be pretty disciplined about it. When I'm writing new material, I use the Pomodoro method and try to hit a minimum of 6,000 words a day of new stuff. When I'm editing, I have a number in mind of words I want to edit per day. Usually I try to get around 18,000 to 25,000. Though with that, it can depend very strongly on how much needs to be moved or changed or deleted in the section that I'm editing.   I do have things that I spend time on that aren't necessarily productive, of course. I did probably spend about 50 minutes last night playing Oblivion Remaster on Xbox. I do go to the gym for an hour every morning, though I really think at my age that's more necessary maintenance than an indulgent hobby. But it's always good to be honest about what you're spending time on and where you can improve it and maybe rearrange things to be a bit better.   #3: Number three is interruptions. Interruptions are inevitable and unavoidable. There will never be a day in your life when you're not interrupted by family members, friends, domestic tasks, chores, and even the occasional genuine emergency. Accepting that no perfect day exists and interruptions will be part of your writing routine is the first step in helping yourself manage them.   Focus on the interruptions you can control. If you can pick where you write, pick a spot where it's harder for people to pass by and interrupt you. If you can wake up a bit earlier than the rest of your household to squeeze out a quick hundred words with your first cup of coffee, then choose that time, even if it's a smaller block of time than after when the kids go to bed. Plan what you'll do when interruptions come and how you'll need to be flexible with your routine in order to get writing done. Here are some examples. Your computer breaks down or you're stuck in a hospital waiting room during your writing time. The solution is to keep a pocket notebook somewhere convenient or to use a notes app on your phone so you at least get some words down in either of these situations. You have a long commute and find that when you get home, your kids come to see you every five minutes while you're trying to write. Where is there time in your day you can control? Maybe you could squeeze out five minutes writing on your lunch break. Maybe you could find a way to dictate your writing on the way home, provided your local laws allow for hands-free device use and it doesn't impair your attentiveness while driving. You have a whole day planned to write and a storm hits, and sometimes you just have to accept that getting something done is better than trying to get the whole goal in the event that something comes up. Like for example, I've recently had to spend a good deal of time doing fence repair due to storm damage, and on those days I didn't get as much writing done as I wanted, but I did get some writing done, and as I do frequently say, one slice of pizza is better than no pizza at all. So when you do have days like that, it's better just to grab the one slice of pizza and get a little bit of writing done than to beat yourself up over how you didn't get to the writing goal that was in your head.   #4: Number four is distractions. Distractions like social media and doom scrolling are a huge obstacle, even though they feel more like a treat or a break than a problem. Treating them like a problem instead of a solution to not wanting to work is an important mindset shift. If such things like social media and doom scrolling are keeping you from beating your goals, distractions have to be managed like any other obstacle we're talking about. I've talked about practical ways to manage distractions in my November Writing Challenge series. I recommend you check that out for practical tips.   #5: And finally, number five, motivation. Consistency over passion or motivation wins the day. Slogging through when you don't feel motivated doesn't mean that you're not creative or a good writer. In fact, every good writer will admit that they do that more often than you might think. Removing your ideal of what you should be as a writer and focusing instead on your actual daily behaviors is important. It's easier to keep a routine going (even imperfectly or badly) than it is to keep having to start it over and over again.   There's a theory that was popularized on Reddit called No Zero Days that essentially says that you must do something (however small) each day in order to further your goal.   For example, instead of having the goal of writing 1,000 words each day, the goal is to write every single day. Even getting one single word on the page each day helps keeps the routine or habit going. It makes it easier to start the next day and helps with any guilt associated with a bad day or difficulties getting started.   In conclusion, obstacles are inevitable, but many of the ones we discussed today, especially distractions, are largely within your control. Even when you're not in control of an obstacle, you're fully in control of how you react to it and how quickly you can regroup and keep going. So those five tips, hopefully they will help you navigate your way around any obstacles to your writing goals.   So that is it for this week. Thanks for listening to The Pulp Writer Show.
