David Yeager: 10 to 25 David Yeager is a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and the cofounder of the Texas Behavioral Science and Policy Institute. He is best known for his research conducted with Carol Dweck, Angela Duckworth, and Greg Walton on short but powerful interventions that influence adolescent behaviors such as motivation, engagement, healthy eating, bullying, stress, mental health, and more. He is the author of 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People (Amazon, Bookshop)*. Older generations have been complaining about younger generations for all of recorded history. Today is no different, and I often hear how leaders are struggling with motivating their younger employees. In this conversation, David and I explore the most recent research and practice for what actually works. Key Points Older generations have been complaining about younger generations for all of recorded history. Often, our complaints are the result of our own past experiences. Many leaders experience the mentor's dilemma: being nice and putting up with poor performance, or being critical and demanding higher performance. Status and respect for a young person are as critical as food and sleep to a baby. When satisfied, they can open up much better motivation and behavior. The mentor mindset embraces both high standards and high support for the young person you wish to motivate. Because this is a mindset, you can absolutely get better at it. When giving feedback to a young person, acknowledge the high standard you are setting and also tell the young person that you believe they can meet that standard. Young people have often experienced a lot of “enforcing” behavior from parents, teachers, and coaches. They assume this in the workplace if you don't make a point to say otherwise.

Public health programs don't operate in a vacuum; they're shaped by policies that influence funding, access to care, reporting requirements, and more. In this episode, JoAnne Deehr, Director of State Health Policy at ASTHO, explains ASTHO's Policy Institute for STI and Infectious Disease Prevention.  She'll discuss how the multi-part initiative helps state and territorial health department staff build practical policy skills, turning data and program challenges into actionable solutions.

A deadly encounter involving ICE agents and a protesting motorist in Minneapolis is just another episode of 'binary reactions' from a nation all watching the same social media videos. Ron is joined by Jordan from the Off_jaWaggon TikTok account, reporting directly from the scene as conflicting stories emerge from federal officials and eyewitnesses. Back to Georgia, Republicans are pushing to eliminate the state income tax— sparking concerns about who really benefits and how working families could end up paying more.

A lot of ground covered today ... Ron opens with the political jolt in Sandy Springs, where Democratic State Rep. Esther Panitch crossed party lines to endorse former Georgia GOP chair and incumbent mayor Rusty Paul. Ron speaks directly with mayoral candidate Dontaye Carter, who outlines why the endorsement misrepresents his record, inflames racial dog whistles, and reflects deeper issues of elitism and accountability inside Democratic circles. Carter also details his platform on affordability, representation, and the demographic challenges facing Sandy Springs as it heads into a pivotal runoff.Next, Ron turns to an in-depth interview with Dr. Daniel Canso of the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, who explains why eliminating Georgia's state income tax would shift billions in costs onto working families while delivering disproportionate benefits to the wealthy. His breakdown of sales tax expansion, regressivity, and long-term budget impacts offers essential clarity for voters.Ron then examines Donald Trump's latest outburst — a call to punish Democratic lawmakers for reminding military members of their duty to refuse illegal orders — and digs in on who the target audience for the Democrats' video was and how the Trump administration is already giving illegal orders by blurring National Guard call-up titles. How about an evidence-based look at immigration data, for once? Ron dives in after Rep. Buddy Carter's letter to DHS Secretary "cosplay" Kristi Noem calling for ICE agents to invade metro Atlanta. Ron theorizes he was "triggered" by a report earlier this week that showed Georgia is 6th in the U.S. in terms of undocumented immigrant population. May work in the primary, but Georgians overwhelmingly oppose mass deportations. Finally, author Dennis Brennan joins the show to discuss his new book drawing historical parallels between Aaron Burr and Donald Trump, offering a fascinating lens on political power, perception, and mythmaking.Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

Ron walks listeners through a fast-developing national story: the remarkably swift and nearly unanimous congressional vote to release the long-sealed Jeffrey Epstein files. After months of hesitation from Republican leaders, both the House and Senate reversed course and advanced the bill with overwhelming support. Ron explores what led to this sudden change, why observers across the political spectrum are questioning the timing, and what the next steps may look like as the Department of Justice prepares to respond.Ron highlights commentary from comedian Trae Crowder, who articulates the public's skepticism about the pivot, and then examines House Speaker Mike Johnson's evolving explanations for his position. The episode breaks down how internal GOP disagreements, procedural maneuvering, and shifting public pressure turned a stalled issue into a rapid bipartisan movement — and what this could signal for future congressional oversight. Oh, and the Trump White House vows retribution towards Democrats for .... forcing him to do what he campaigned that he'd do?The discussion then turns to an Air Force One exchange in which President Trump directed a dismissive remark toward Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey. Ron uses the moment to examine broader concerns about Trump's tone toward journalists - particularly female journalists. Comedienne Raeshonda Lias-Lockhart was having none of it. Even former conservative editors, by the way, are noticing his cognitive decline.Trump seems upset American journalists are covering the Epstein files and his visit with the Saudi prince and not the (ahem) "$21 trillion" in investments he claims to be securing. Last month it was $17 trillion, and even then, half had been secured in the prior presidency. Oops.From there, Ron shifts to key Georgia news. He recaps Geoff Duncan's recent visit with Forsyth County Democrats, the upcoming Senate District 35 runoff, and new polling data that suggests most Georgians favor property tax relief over eliminating the state's income tax. Ron previews his upcoming conversation with Dr. Daniel Kanso of the Georgia Budget & Policy Institute, who will offer deeper insight into the state revenue implications behind these debates.Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

PLUS: Georgia (nearly) stand alone in its embrace of touchscreen voting technology that runs afoul of its own lawGeorgia Republicans are racing toward a Florida- and Tennessee-style dream: wiping out the state income tax and pitching it as an overnight “5% raise” for struggling families. Ron digs into what the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute says really happens if lawmakers eliminate the 5.19% personal income tax that currently brings in nearly half of Georgia's revenue. Their analysis shows the state would likely need something like a 12% state sales tax, pushing the average household's tax bill up about $1,000 a year and shifting the burden onto low- and middle-income Georgians while the top 5% reap nearly half the savings. Ron walks through how tourism-dependent states like Florida and Tennessee balance their books, and why Georgia's very different economy makes copying them a recipe for a regressive tax hike dressed up as relief.From there, the conversation widens to the “K-shaped economy.” Drawing on reporting from Sasha Rogelberg and economist Peter Atwater, Ron connects the dots between flat or falling wage growth for the bottom 90%, rising subprime debt, and booming stock gains for the wealthiest households. It's not just about the numbers, he argues, but about feelings: a sea of despair at the bottom versus overconfident invulnerability at the top. That emotional gap is reshaping politics, fueling resentment, and creating a messaging test Democrats failed at in 2024 - and Trump continues to - when they insist the economy is “great” while groceries, utilities, and rent keep climbing.Then Marilyn Marks of the Coalition for Good Governance joins Ron to sound the alarm on Georgia's voting system. She explains how Dominion ballot-marking devices, giant touchscreen displays, and QR-code ballots violate both the spirit and letter of Georgia's secret-ballot laws, enable subtle hacks that leave no audit trail, and create real intimidation risks in small communities and church precincts.Marks walks through the Coffee County breach, the Curling lawsuit, and why federal experts have warned Georgia for years to fix obvious vulnerabilities. Her solution is surprisingly simple—and cheaper: warehouse most of the touchscreens, keep a few for accessibility, and join the 70% of America already using hand-marked paper ballots fed into the same scanners Georgia uses now.Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

"I can only describe the Process in poetry, because it's that spiritual for me." Jessica Harjo In July 2022, Jessica Harjo came to the Hoffman Process to learn how to parent after realizing the coping mechanisms she'd developed to help her manage the weight of motherhood and career no longer worked for her. And of course, she came for so much more than she could imagine. As a Native woman with a complex multicultural ancestry - Indigenous, San Carlos Apache, Indigenous, Chicana, Mexican, Filipina, Japanese, and European - Jessica found the Process to be deeply spiritual. She shares that she likens her Process experience to a sweat lodge. "Finding that moment where you're in it and you're closing your eyes, and you hear the songs, you can hear the prayers, and then you start to connect. You start to remember; you start to heal. And then when the flaps of that sweat lodge open, you crawl out on your knees, and when you come out into the life, you feel like you're born again into the world. That was the experience of my Process. It reconnected me to my spirit in that way. It lit my inner fire." Before the Process, Jessica realized that stress had caused her to forget her past and past self. Coming out of the Process, feeling born again, she realized she now had "new eyes." Going home, Jessica saw each member of her family as a spiritual being.  She saw the light in nature. She'd found herself. A little over two years later, Jessica attended the inaugural BIPOC Q2, a weekend retreat. She worked to heal ancestral wounds. Over this powerful Q2 weekend, Jessica says she came home. We hope you enjoy this powerful conversation with Jessica and Sadie. More about Jessica Harjo: Jessica, daughter Rulan, and husband Tim. Jessica Harjo is a soul embodied human being and lifelong learner. She's a proud homemaker and mother of three daughters, three stepchildren, and four grandchildren. For the past eighteen years, Jessica has worked in the nonprofit sector as the Director of Operations for the Tribal Law and Policy Institute. Her multicultural ancestry (Indigenous/San Carlos Apache, Indigenous/Chicana/Mexican, Filipina, Japanese, and European) has been a source of strength in her life and is reflected in her work to recognize and uplift multicultural and Indigenous knowledge. As a nonprofit leader, Jessica specializes in policy development, administrative infrastructure and team development, project management, HR implementation, business, and financial operations management. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Film, Media, and Social Justice and a minor in Business Administration. Jessica also holds an MBA from Mount Saint Mary's University. Mount Saint Mary's is the only women's university in Los Angeles, and is known for their annual report on the Status of Women and Girls in California. Jessica has volunteered on numerous nonprofit boards that serve Indigenous communities. She's an active volunteer for the Hoffman Inner Work for Indigenous Leaders Advisory Circle and the Indigenous outreach team. She provides support for other Indigenous Process fellows and graduates. A student of Yoga philosophy, Nichiren Buddhism, and Indigenous Mindfulness, Jessica is currently working on her RYT500 Yoga Teacher Training. She regularly uses her Hoffman tools to continue healing, visualizing, and growing. This has been the journey of her lifetime. The Process brought her to herself, and the BIPOC Q2 brought her home. Jessica and her husband, Tim Harjo, live in Oklahoma, where they balance their careers, family life, and running Sovereign Ranch, a first-generation, Native owned bison ranch.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 11th Publish Date: October 11th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, October 11th and Happy Birthday to Steve Young I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Fernbank Museum set to premiere 2 new Giant Screen films House Republicans consider more funding for public health Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church Hosts 40th Anniversary Community Carnival and Trunk or Treat All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Fernbank Museum set to premiere 2 new Giant Screen films This fall, Fernbank Museum is serving up two epic adventures on its Giant Screen Theater—stories that’ll stick with you long after the credits roll. First up, “Wild Rescue” (premiering today Oct. 11). It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network, where bobcats, pelicans, and other injured animals get a second shot at life. Think animal ER, but with jaw-dropping cinematography and a whole lot of heart. Then there’s “Secrets of Great Salt Lake” (opening Nov. 8). Mammoths, saber-toothed cats, ancient floods—it’s a wild ride through time, showing how water shapes life, from the Rockies to the Great Salt Lake. Both films are included with general admission. Don’t miss it. STORY 2: House Republicans consider more funding for public health   Georgia’s public health system is at a breaking point, lawmakers were told Tuesday. Federal funding is drying up—COVID-era dollars are gone, grants are shrinking, and the Congressional budget mess isn’t helping. State funding has increased over the years, but it’s not enough. Per-person spending has dropped from $97 in 2012 to just $74 today, said Leah Chan of the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute. Rural areas? They’re hit hardest—fewer resources, fewer workers, and the looming threat of hospital closures. Advocates made it clear: public health programs save money and lives. Vaccinations, lead abatement, substance abuse prevention—they all reduce preventable deaths and boost the economy. Lawmakers listened, but what’s next? No one’s saying yet.

STORY 5: Grayson Football Heads into 15-Day Break with Dominant Win Grayson’s freshman quarterback, Deuce Smith, is making this whole “starter” thing look easy.

Josh Thomas ripped off a 62-yard run on the first play, and two snaps later, Smith hit Saif Bin-Wahad for a quick 7-0 lead. By the end of the first quarter? 34-7. Even the reserves got in on the action. Junior Tre Crum ran in a touchdown, and freshman Jojo Watts electrified the sideline with a 50-yard punt return score. Grayson, now riding a 22-game win streak, has 15 days to prep for South Gwinnett.

STORY 7: Shiloh Grad Michael Nash Remembered Fondly in Gwinnett, Dunwoody It took Michael Nash a while to figure out where he belonged. Coaching and teaching weren’t on his radar at first. After graduating from Shiloh High in 1992, he tried college football, worked in his parents’ business, even moved out of state to build houses. But life has a funny way of steering you back. One day, his old friend Ed Shaddix, then principal at North Gwinnett High, called him up. “Are you ready yet?” Shaddix asked. And that was it. Nash, in his 30s, with a wife, two kids, and bills to pay, went back to school. He worked at North, coached under Bob Sphire, and earned his degree. It wasn’t easy, but it was the start of something bigger. Nash’s coaching journey took him from Shiloh to Dunwoody, where he spent 10 years rebuilding a struggling program. When he arrived, there were 17 players, no facilities, and barely $20,000 in the budget. But he got to work—weight training, nutrition programs, camps, fundraising. Slowly, the team grew to over 120 players, with a budget in the hundreds of thousands. It wasn’t just about football, though. Nash believed in loving his players, in making them better people. He coached lacrosse and baseball when the school needed him. He helped kids with problems at home. In February, Nash left Dunwoody to coach at Chattahoochee County, closer to family. Tragically, he passed away on October 3 after emergency surgery. He was 51. A memorial service will be held October 12 at Dunwoody Baptist Church.
