Property can look straightforward from the outside. Find a deal, add value, refinance, repeat. But anyone who's actually building a business in this market knows it's rarely that simple.In this episode, I sit down with Adriana Cafasso, an investor operating in the North East who's scaling both her own portfolio and a high-volume, end-to-end investment business. She's not watching from the sidelines - she's actively acquiring, refurbishing and structuring HMO and mixed-use projects in a market that's becoming more competitive and more regulated by the month.We talk about how she moved from law into property during lockdown, the early setback that could easily have knocked her out of the game, and what changed in her approach as she moved from “trying to do a deal” to building a proper operation with the right partners and systems around her.This is a practical conversation about execution, decision-making and staying consistent when results don't come overnight.

In this candid patient interview, Taylor Hultquist shares her complete bariatric surgery journey one year post-op, revealing the physical, mental, and emotional transformations that extended far beyond the number on the scale.This episode covers the real, unfiltered experience of bariatric surgery including:Post-Surgery Physical Changes: Taylor discusses her weight loss progress, strength training routine, and unexpected non-scale victories like hiking without knee pain and jogging for the first time in years. She breaks down what recovery actually looked like and the physical milestones that mattered most.Mental Health Improvements After Weight Loss Surgery: One of the most significant aspects of Taylor's journey was the dramatic reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms post-surgery. She shares how her mental clarity improved and why the psychological benefits were just as important as the physical changes.The Importance of Personal Choice in Bariatric Surgery: Taylor emphasizes that the decision to undergo weight loss surgery must be entirely personal. She discusses how to navigate pressure from family members, set healthy boundaries around weight discussions, and advocate for yourself throughout the process.Mindful Eating and Body Awareness Post-Op: Learn how Taylor developed new relationships with food and hunger cues after surgery. She shares practical strategies for mindful eating, recognizing fullness signals, and adjusting to her body's new needs and limitations.Non-Scale Victories and Redefining Success: Beyond weight loss numbers, Taylor celebrates the smaller wins that transformed her daily life - from increased energy levels to improved mobility to newfound confidence in social situations. These victories became the foundation of her sustainable transformation.Setting Boundaries with Loved Ones: Taylor provides honest advice about communicating needs to family and friends, especially when it comes to unsolicited weight loss advice or commentary. She discusses how setting clear boundaries protected her mental health during a vulnerable time.Strength Training and Physical Activity Post-Surgery: Discover how Taylor incorporated strength training into her routine and why building muscle became a priority. She shares her approach to exercise that focuses on feeling strong rather than just losing weight.This patient success story offers valuable insights for anyone considering bariatric surgery, currently in their post-op journey, or supporting a loved one through weight loss surgery. Taylor's transparency about both challenges and triumphs provides a realistic perspective on what life looks like after this major medical decision.Whether you're researching gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, or other bariatric procedures, this conversation covers the topics that matter most: mental health support, realistic expectations, lifestyle changes, body image struggles, and the ongoing process of self-improvement after surgery.Connect with Pound of Cure Weight Loss Podcast: New episodes released weekly featuring expert interviews, patient stories, and evidence-based weight loss strategies from Dr. Matthew Weiner and registered dietitian Zoe.For more information about bariatric surgery, GLP-1 medications, nutrition counseling, and sustainable weight loss approaches, visit our practice or check out previous episodes on metabolic health, set point theory, and medical weight loss options.Visit our website.Vote for Linda Jones to be on the cover of Ms. Health & Fitness 2026 here.

Since the late nineteenth century, amusement parks have been providing countless hours of enjoyment for people all around the world. Often driven by the latest technology and advances in mechanical engineering, the thrill rides at parks like Disney Land, Great America, and other independent parks offer a controlled environment to experience terror and excitement. While these rides, and the parks in general, are very safe and held to strict safety standards, there are times when the unthinkable happens—a cable snaps, a safety harness breaks—and the once safe ride becomes a nightmare for passengers. Far more often than not, tragic amusement park accidents are the result of human foolishness or, far less often, operator error. But other times, they are a bizarre fluke; a one in a million mechanical problem no one saw coming. Either way, the results can be shocking, horrifying, and even deadly.Recommendations:Jawsh on tikTok ReferencesAdler, Eric, and Katy Bergen. 2016.

This episode uses the baby-elephant metaphor to reveal four deeply held beliefs that trap health care operations—especially Sterile Processing Departments—in dysfunction: that reactivity is inevitable, SPD is merely a cost center, the OR will never be satisfied, and "we're doing the best we can". Dr. Jake Tayler Jacobs explains where these beliefs come from, how they damage finances and relationships, and points to proactive operating systems and evidence-based change that can break the chains and restore reliability, revenue, and partnership.
On this episode, we're joined by Julian Sancton, the investigative journalist and author of Neptune's Fortune, which brings us into the world of 20th-century treasure hunting and the search for a Spanish galleon containing over a billion pounds' worth of gold and silver. At the center of this story is Roger Dooley, a larger-than-life Cuban American archaeologist who dedicated his life to finding it.Julian tells us how he gained access to this world of colourful characters, why stories of the sea continue to motivate his writing life, and how he shaped a story that combines adventure, geopolitics, and centuries of maritime history.Hosted by Ryan Edgington.

Prince Andrew came under scrutiny after documents revealed he told bankers to call Buckingham Palace when they questioned a £750,000 payment tied to him. The transaction raised compliance concerns, prompting officials to seek clarity on whether it was legitimate. Instead of offering a straightforward explanation, Andrew reportedly directed them to his Palace office, effectively leaning on his royal status to quell the inquiry.The payment's origins and purpose stirred suspicions, especially given Andrew's already controversial financial dealings and public scandals. The move highlighted how he allegedly relied on the prestige of the monarchy to shield himself from financial accountability, deepening concerns about his judgment and raising questions over whether he abused his royal position for personal protection.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
This is the Weight and Healthcare newsletter! If you like what you are reading, please consider subscribing and/or sharing!In Part 1 we started discussing the “Million Pound Challenge” created by Toby Cosgrove and Dr. Michael Roizen in which they are “challenging” an unknown number of people to collectively lose one million pounds. In part 2 we'll discuss the program itself. (If you haven't read part 1, I recommend it to fully understand part 2.) As always I'll indent the quotes from the website so that you can avoid harmful weight stigma if you choose. They explain the program as a 3-step process:Step 1: Enroll Your OrgRegister your health system. Get access to a variety of resources in the Million Pound Challenge Tool Kit for your entire team.Step 2: Your Staff, Your WayEmployees can use the tools provided, join their own programs, work with providers—whatever works. Your organization decides how to structure participation.Step 3: Track ProgressThe only requirement? Track results with a monthly check with your Challenge coordinator. Watch as individual effort becomes collective momentum toward one million pounds.This is where they make things incredibly clear - literally the only requirement is to track weight loss. This isn't about health metrics, there is no way to make this program weight neutral or to focus on health - weight loss is the only metric and tracking it is the only thing the program requires.And when they blithely say “whatever works” let's be clear that a century of research finds that, unless their goal is to create weight cycling, nothing does. So there is no common intervention and all they are tracking is weight loss. Right. And how is weight loss tracked? Per the FAQs (emphasis mine)“Your Challenge ambassador must log your team's results monthly with your assigned Challenge Coordinator—this is the only requirement. Individual weights remain completely private. Only aggregate organizational totals are posted on the community leaderboard so you can see how your organization compares nationally.”Um, they aren't private if you have to share them with your company's challenge ambassador (and I have serious concerns that someone who would sign up for that job may be the last person that a coworker would want to tell their weight.) Workplace programs (or any programs) that include a weight loss component have significant risks to physical and mental health, including through eating disorders. But programs that compel people to compete solely on the basis of weight loss, as this one does, can actually encourage participation in dangerous behaviors in order to create weight loss.Measure your organization's progress, celebrate your success stories, and recognize your top-performing teams. Join leaders at quarterly events, Chamber Summit, Aspen Ideas Festival, and HLTH to keep momentum strong.Do. Not. Do. This. Another huge issue with this, and all workplace/organization weight-loss challenges, besides the issues with disordered eating and eating disorders and weight cycling, is that it can single out people who aren't participating or “achieving” in ways that create a hostile work environment for them. It can mean that those who have chosen an evidence-based weight-neutral path (either due to a history of eating disorders or other reasons) have to choose between their physical and mental health and being seen as “not a team player.” It can lead to organizations under valuing employees who, due to many reasons including disability, chronic illness, and more, cannot participate in the initiative at all (or in ways that make them “top-performing”) which can lead them to being seen by subordinates, peers, and bosses as a “drag” on the team or having less value to the organization. This is not surprising from someone like program co-founder Toby Cosgrove who once gleefully told the New York Times magazine that he didn't want to hire higher-weight people (as the CEO of the Cleveland Clinic,) but let's not follow in those bigoted footsteps.After 12 months, we'll have collectively proven what we've known all along—that sustainable health outcomes are achievable. Winners celebrated at HLTH 2026. Every organization recognized for leading the revolution.There is so much wrong with this that I scarcely know where to begin. As I said in part 1, “prove” is a very strong word so I expect robust research and lots of it (spoiler alert - I'm going to be disappointed again, but in no way surprised, again.) These two doctors should know better than to suggest that anything about “sustainable health outcomes” can be “proven” by a random “challenge” that only lasts a year has no common intervention, and only measures weight loss. This does not have the ring of sound science. The truth is, we can't even be sure how many of the participants would get thin enough that program co-founder Toby Cosgrove would think they deserved to be employed.I don't want to spend too much time analyzing the deck chairs on this titanic of a “challenge” but I do want to look at one of the “resources” they offer, called ‘Why Healthy Employees Don't Need Your Wellness Challenge.” First of all remember that this is NOT a wellness challenge (which would measure, you know, wellness) this is a weight loss challenge that only measures body size manipulation. Even if we ignore that, this “resource” is particularly horrifying, promoting the “Lifestyle 180” program. The program is based on the assumption that higher-weight people and those with chronic conditions are not already participating in health-supporting behaviors and should be “targeted”, by their employers (not their actual healthcare providers,) with “intensive, medically-integrated interventions.”Here again, this program teaches organizational leadership to see higher-weight people and those with chronic conditions as a liability to be solved and not as skilled and valuable employees, with the unspoken (except by Toby to the NYT magazine) takeaway to avoid hiring these people in the first place. This is likely to disproportionally impact higher-weight people, People of Color, and especially higher-weight People of Color. (Note that this is all wrapped up in the massive issues with U.S. employers providing healthcare which is, to use a technical term, a hot garbage mess that is beyond the scope of this post, but the idea that employers should have access to employee health information is obviously seriously problematic on its face.) The “resource” continuously suggests that employers focus on “the 20% of [ employees] driving 80% of the costs” ending with “that's where you win.”My main takeaway from this resource was that if an employer sent me an email that said “Your recent health screening showed some concerning trends We have a program specifically designed for you. Can we talk?” I should say, emphatically, no. Which would also be my immediate answer if asked to participate in this “challenge.”In Part 3 we'll talk about what you can do if your organization tries to push this kind of “challenge” on you.This month's online workshop is Weight-Neutral Joint Pain Management with sports medicine physicians Dr. Julia Bruene and Dr. Jeremy Alland.

What happens when God plants a vision years before you feel ready to carry it? In this powerful collaboration between Pound for Pound Leadership and the I AM HER Podcast, Pastor Mike and Pastor Lisa Kai share the deeply personal, faith-filled journey behind Arise, from a whispered prayer to a movement now filling the Blaisdell with thousands of women. This is a conversation about obedience, timing, marriage, leadership, and what it really looks like to say yes to God, even when it's uncomfortable, inconvenient, and requires everything. In this special collaboration episode of Pound for Pound Leadership Podcast and the I AM HER Podcast, Pastor Mike Kai sits down with his wife, Pastor Lisa Kai, to unpack the story behind Arise, a women's movement that began with a quiet prayer and has grown into a global vision impacting thousands. Pastor Lisa shares how God began stirring something in her heart 15 years ago, long before she felt ready, and how moments of obedience, confirmation, and even disruption shaped the calling she now walks in. Together, Pastor Mike and Pastor Lisa reflect on leadership within marriage, supporting one another's calling, and stewarding a vision that was never meant to be convenient.

What happens when God plants a vision years before you feel ready to carry it? In this powerful collaboration between Pound for Pound Leadership and the I AM HER Podcast, Pastor Mike and Pastor Lisa Kai share the deeply personal, faith-filled journey behind Arise, from a whispered prayer to a movement now filling the Blaisdell with thousands of women. This is a conversation about obedience, timing, marriage, leadership, and what it really looks like to say yes to God, even when it's uncomfortable, inconvenient, and requires everything. In this special collaboration episode of Pound for Pound Leadership Podcast and the I AM HER Podcast, Pastor Mike Kai sits down with his wife, Pastor Lisa Kai, to unpack the story behind Arise, a women's movement that began with a quiet prayer and has grown into a global vision impacting thousands. Pastor Lisa shares how God began stirring something in her heart 15 years ago, long before she felt ready, and how moments of obedience, confirmation, and even disruption shaped the calling she now walks in. Together, Pastor Mike and Pastor Lisa reflect on leadership within marriage, supporting one another's calling, and stewarding a vision that was never meant to be convenient. From international conferences to floods that forced last-minute miracles, this episode is a reminder that when God says He's doing a new thing, you have to be willing to perceive it. If you've ever wrestled with purpose, timing, or stepping into what God has placed inside of you, this conversation will encourage, challenge, and inspire you. ———— Stay Connected! ———— Mike Kai Website Mike Kai Instagram Mike Kai YouTube Mike Kai LinkedIn Arise Conference 2026, February 19 + 20 | Honolulu, HI https://www.arise-movement.com ___________________ 00:13 – Pastor Mike welcomes listeners and introduces Pastor Lisa 01:00 – Pastor Lisa shares her excitement for the collaboration and the origin of Arise 03:00 – Pastor Mike on growing together and not holding each other back 05:00 – A vision sparked at a conference in New Zealand 07:06 – When you ask God, He will show you 10:33 – Transitioning leadership of the women's ministry 12:46 – Argentina, Australia, and prophetic confirmations 16:45 – Out of Control and Loving It and God's preparation 20:37 – Returning home changed, but not fully ready 28:00 – Arise as a living, growing vision (from small beginnings to 10,000 seats) 34:19 – "I want to do a new thing, can you perceive it?" 36:50 – Pastor Lisa speaks directly to the women about Arise 39:50 – Discovering your voice while honoring marriage and partnership 46:18 – Men's ministry growth and how husbands can support Arise 49:08 – A beautiful moment of honor and love after 25 years of ministry52:44 – Why John and Lisa Bevere matter to the Arise story 58:29 – Pastor Lisa's first encounter with Lisa Bevere 01:00:00 – Closing remarks and invitation to subscribe and visit mikekai.tv
