Mic shares stories about customs problems, security concerns and the atmosphere surrounding the event.

In this episode of the Story of a World Champion series, Lefty sits down with 2012 IFMAR 1/8 Off-Road World Champion Robert Batlle to tell the full story of his unforgettable championship run in Argentina. Robert takes us back to his first World Championship as a 14-year-old in 2002 and the journey that eventually led him to the top of RC racing. He shares the incredible story of winning the 2012 Worlds Warm-Up with the Mugen MBX6—only to be told just one month before the World Championship that he had to race the brand-new MBX7. With rain limiting testing in Spain, Robert and his team drove thousands of kilometers across Europe chasing dry tracks, even using headlights from full-size cars to continue testing after dark. Robert breaks down the tire and setup decisions that helped him survive the brutally rough Argentina track, his battle with Ty Tessmann, his patient strategy during the 60-minute final, and the emotional final lap when he realized he was about to become World Champion. We also talk about his $20,000 Worlds-winning bonus, the promise that resulted in him buying Mugen kits for the friends who helped him prepare, how becoming World Champion changed his career, and his thoughts heading into the 2026 IFMAR World Championship in Texas. This is Robert Batlle: 76 Laps to Glory—the story behind one of RC racing's most memorable World Championship victories.

Michael interviews Australian dentist Michael Filosi about applying counterintuitive, hospitality-centered ideas to dentistry to break industry norms.Filosi bought a rundown dental practice and, after realizing he couldn't be the best clinician, pivoted—drawing on Good to Great's hedgehog concept—toward building the best dental practice by focusing on business ownership, high standards, and patient experience. He gradually stepped off clinical work over 2–3 years (from four days a week to zero), scaling from generating 40% of revenue to 0.6%, later selling the business unexpectedly at 41 with no earn-out.Key initiatives included an annual free Patient Appreciation Day and a “Sparks” program (50 personalized gifts in 50 weeks at $50 each) inspired by Unreasonable Hospitality, alongside friction-reducing service, explicit cultural expectations (“the FPD way”), and hiring for customer care, helping drive retention, word-of-mouth, staff attraction, and 400+ 5.0-star reviews.Filosi's takeaways are uncompromising standards and putting the customer (or constituent) at the center; he recommends The Checklist Manifesto and is exploring writing, dentistry, and politics next.Lodgify is the headline sponsor for the Hospitality Mavericks Podcast Show.Lodgify is an all-in-one hosting platform built on one promise, minimum hassle, maximum independence.

Brandon highlights the Sugar House Hotel in Winooski, Vermont—a Marriott Tribute Collection property that will be all-electric, net-zero carbon, and LEED Platinum—embedding sustainability into every initiative.He outlines Fathom's associate-centric, value-driven culture, emphasizing authenticity, celebration, open dialogue, autonomy in recognition rituals, and cross-department cohesion, and explains using AI for SOPs, accounting, HR messaging, onboarding tools, and development analysis to reduce stress and improve retention.Lodgify is the headline sponsor for the Hospitality Mavericks Podcast Show.Lodgify is an all-in-one hosting platform built on one promise, minimum hassle, maximum independence.

In this solo episode, Amy Wheeler explores the second yama, satyam (truthfulness), and its essential relationship to the first yama, ahiṃsā (non-harming). This conversation moves beyond simple definitions and into the lived complexity of speaking truth in real relationships, real bodies, and real moments.Drawing from personal reflection—including her own experience with illness and voice—Amy invites listeners into an honest inquiry:When do we speak too much, not enough, or avoid the truth altogether?In This EpisodeSatyam as Inner CoherenceSatyam is not simply “telling the truth.” It is the alignment between:PerceptionUnderstandingExpressionWhen these are out of sync, confusion and disconnection follow. When they align, communication becomes clear, steady, and trustworthy. Amy emphasizes that most misalignment comes from incomplete information (avidyā) and unexamined assumptions. As clarity improves, so does our ability to speak in a way that others can receive and trust.Ahiṃsā as the ContainerAhiṃsā is not just the absence of harm. It is the active cultivation of:SafetyCareStability in relationshipSatyam lives inside ahiṃsā. Truth must be expressed in a way that reduces harm and supports connection.This creates an ongoing inquiry:What am I saying that may cause harm?What am I avoiding that also creates harm?Avoidance and harshness are two sides of the same imbalance.The Role of RelationshipThe yamas are relational practices. They are not abstract ideals.Amy highlights that we refine truth through feedback:Honest, grounded relationships help us see clearlyMisaligned or dishonest environments distort our perceptionOver time, trustworthy relationships support the emergence of a deeper, more stable truth.Ṛtam: The Deeper TruthThe episode introduces ṛtam (cosmic order) as the underlying intelligence of reality.Ṛtam → what is (the larger truth)Satyam → how we align with and express that truthAmy describes this as learning to release control and personal agenda, allowing timing, context, and perspective to mature. Truth is not only about correctness—it is about alignment with something larger than the individual viewpoint. A Nervous System LensTruth is not just cognitive—it is physiological and relational.In sympathetic activation → truth can become sharp and reactiveIn withdrawal → truth can become suppressed or avoidedIn regulation → truth becomes attuned and constructiveInteroceptive awareness becomes a guide:Changes in breath, tension, or sensation signal misalignmentThe body often recognizes incoherence before the mind doesClinical and Practical ApplicationIn therapeutic settings, satyam is not blunt disclosure.Instead, it includes:Regulated presenceAttuned listeningReflective languageOften, simply reflecting a client's words allows truth to emerge without force. Truth becomes something discovered, not imposed.Key Reflection QuestionsAmy offers a simple but powerful framework:Is it true? (satyam)Is it kind? (ahiṃsā)Is it the right time, context, and relationship? (ṛtam)This triad supports more skillful communication and reduces unnecessary harm.Closing InsightTruthfulness is not a fixed achievement. It is a lifelong refinement.It asks for:Self-awarenessCourageRegulationWillingness to be wrongTrust in something larger than personal perspectiveAs Amy reminds us, this work unfolds over time, through relationships, and through the willingness to see ourselves clearly.Sanskrit Words of the EpisodeAhiṃsā – Non-harming; active care in relationshipSatyam – Truthfulness; inner and outer coherenceṚtam – Cosmic order; the deeper truth beyond personal perspectiveAvidyā – Misperception; incomplete or incorrect understandingSupport the PodcastJoin the Patreon communityExplore the Optimal State Mobile App (iPhone & Android)Pre-order Applications of Therapeutic Yoga in Integrative Health by Amy Wheeler & Marlisa Sullivanhttps://www.amazon.com/Applying-Therapeutic-Yoga-Integrative-Health/dp/1032888628/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1RFZ3L5MCCNPH&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.I7harQDOLulfRbd3dx2vVa5VUZa840PHcWB7dDiT3_bB2nravzO7_9Xs9shMhcy2Iwu0wtTA1PxeUG4TTugEQJuK_OEpvzQ-OyVvtsUkXsc.ViqLrL-EQPX7s09wZF6_2eCpLCimHa7Ohfbw-F7Yuk4&dib_tag=se&keywords=applications+in+therapeutic+yoga+wheeler&qid=1775224796&sprefix=applications+in+therapeutic+yoga+wheele%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-1

Michael and Pete Hurley discuss how hospitality organizations may shift away from large full-time head offices toward fractional and project-based senior talent to improve flexibility, innovation, and profitability amid tight margins and job insecurity.Hurley shares his career from launching a hospitality tech startup in 2004 that evolved into a cultural-venue operator business he ran for nearly 20 years and sold three years ago, before moving into consultancy and noticing the growing “fractional” trend and the lack of a dedicated marketplace for hospitality expertise.He built and coded the Well Seasoned platform in a week, launching in February and growing to about 550 consultants, around 25 hospitality businesses engaging, and regular projects posted.They cover benefits like faster hiring/onboarding, niche expertise, reduced risk, consultants collaborating to fill skill gaps, and fractionals sometimes converting into full-time roles, while emphasizing the need for a core in-house team and an active community to avoid the platform becoming a static directory.Lodgify is the headline sponsor for the Hospitality Mavericks Podcast Show.Lodgify is an all-in-one hosting platform built on one promise, minimum hassle, maximum independence.

A small-town newspaper headline blamed a school nurse for delaying classes. The real story is much bigger. In this investigative episode of Nurse Converse, nurse journalist Jana Price sits down with Moriah Benjamin, a Pennsylvania LPN who was fired after refusing to work as a school nurse without proper supervision — a violation of her scope of practice under state law.

In this episode, Michael introduces Ruth Jacobs, a registered mental health nurse and founder of Certified Minds, to discuss where mental health efforts in industry have landed and how to create behavioral, cultural, and systems change that builds resilience.Ruth shares her background in CAMHS and eating disorder inpatient care, her experience managing during COVID lockdowns, and how gaps in pediatric mental health training led her to train UK medical teams, schools, and workplaces using simulations and practical skills.They focus on hospitality's risk factors—high emotional demands, unpredictability, staff shortages, long hours, poor sleep, and normalized frontline abuse—and discuss proactive leadership, psychological safety, and embedding resilience and check-ins into inductions.Ruth distinguishes everyday mental health issues from disorders, highlights early burnout signs, stresses the cost of inaction, recommends better listening and language for difficult conversations, and raises concerns about normalized cocaine use.

We all experience stress. The real challenge isn't stress itself—it's whether we recover from it. Over time, chronic stress can quietly affect everything from inflammation and metabolism to sleep, digestion, and healthy aging. This week on The Dr. Hyman Show, I talk with nervous system educator and HRV expert Salim Najjar to explore what heart rate variability (HRV) can reveal about your body's ability to recover from stress and build resilience. Together, we unpack: • How to use HRV to better understand your body's response to stress • Why some stress makes you stronger while chronic stress wears you down • How to get more value from your wearable without obsessing over the numbers • Five daily habits that can help your nervous system recover and become more resilient • How your nervous system influences inflammation, healing, and healthy aging Our bodies are constantly responding to the demands we place on them every day. The good news is that resilience can be built, and the strategies in this conversation can help you recover from stress more effectively and support long-term health.
