What if the thing running your day… is your non-conscious thought patterns that are happening on repeat?? The same ones showing up every single day, silently shaping how you feel, how you react, and how you show up as a parent, partner, and person. In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the 6 sneaky, unhelpful thought patterns that drag us down day-to-day - and how to actually catch them in real time, replace them, and feel better.We're getting into:- Why your brain loops the same thoughts all day (and why they feel so convincing)- The exact moment your thoughts turn into stress, snapping, or shutdown- The subtle difference between “venting” vs. actually moving forward- The simple mental shifts that take you from *reactive* to calm, grounded, and in control- Practical, in-the-moment tools you can use TODAY to change the way you think - and feelThis is the kind of episode that doesn't just sound good while you listen. It literally changes how your next moment goes. Less spiraling, less snapping. More clarity, more “Ok, I've got this.” Once you see these thought patterns, you can interrupt them. And when you interrupt them, your whole day goes differently. And overtime, your new thinking habits will rewire your brain to be more resilient.Your brain has been freelancing long enough.

Parents carry their past into their parenting, often without realizing it. In this episode, I sit down with relationship therapist and author Eli Harwood to talk about how emotional baggage forms, how it quietly shows up in the way we respond to our kids, and what it actually looks like to break those patterns in real time. We get honest about triggers, shame, defensiveness, and the parts of ourselves we learned to tuck away long before we ever had children. Eli breaks down how emotional inheritance works, why our bodies react before our brains catch up, and how to shift from reactive parenting to connected parenting. This isn't about perfection or never getting activated. It's about noticing, pausing, and choosing something different so our kids don't have to carry what we never had support for. If you've ever wondered, “Am I passing this on?”, this conversation will help you see the patterns with compassion and give you tools to change the story. What we talk about: Why emotional baggage forms and how it shows up in parenting How your childhood coping strategies become adult triggers The difference between reacting and responding Why kids activate the parts of us we haven't healed How shame keeps patterns going Practical steps to interrupt the cycle Why slowing down is the most powerful parenting tool How to repair with your child when you slip into old patterns To connect with Eli Harwood follow her on Instagram @attachmentnerd, check out all her resources at https://www.attachmentnerd.com/ and buy her book “How to Deal with Your ___ So Your Kids Don't Have To: https://www.amazon.com/Deal-Your-____-Kids-Dont/dp/1632175967  00:00 – The Core Idea: Kids Feel What We Don't Heal 05:23 – From Secure Kids to Secure Parents 09:18 – The Five Gifts of a Secure Parent14:06 – Showing Up Without Making Kids the Burden23:14 – When Your Stuff Spills Out 25:58 – Hidden Baggage: Denial, Over-Apologizing, and Self-Doubt 27:28 – Bias, Blind Spots, and Long-Term Connection 36:40 – Emotional Maturity in Real Life 41:17 – “I Want Mommy”: Rejection and Attachment Preferences Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

From dot-com survivor to fractional CFO, Salvatore Tirabassi shares how his venture capital and private equity background enables him to deliver PE-grade financial strategy to founder-owned businesses, why the AI bubble looks fundamentally different from 2000, and how unit economics analysis should drive every growth-stage debt decision. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Salvatore Tirabassi, a seasoned CFO who also brings a 15-year background as a partner in growth equity and venture capital funds. Sal is the founder of CFO Pro Analytics, where he delivers comprehensive financial strategy, modeling, analytics, and capital raising services to founder and family-owned businesses in the $3 million to $100 million revenue range. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN In this episode, you'll discover how the venture capital and private equity landscape evolved from a barbell structure into today's multi-tiered capital ecosystem, why the AI bubble debate is fundamentally different from the dot-com era based on where risk sits in the markets today, and the unit economics framework Sal uses before any client takes on debt to fuel growth. You'll also learn why most founder-owned businesses need practical capital like receivables financing and SBA loans rather than venture funding, and what the private credit market and AI-driven hiring shifts could mean for Main Street businesses. SAL'S JOURNEY Sal grew up playing basketball in competitive New York City high school leagues before moving through consulting and business school into venture capital in August of 1999. Seven months later, the dot-com bubble burst. While most investors fled, his fund doubled down on the companies they believed in. His first deal was a company called Gomez, a SaaS business before anyone used the term, with clients like Amazon paying subscription fees to measure customer web experience. Gomez ultimately sold for approximately $350 million around 2008. Sal continued doing growth equity deals in tech-enabled services before moving to the operating side as a CFO, merging his investor experience with operational expertise into a fractional CFO practice built specifically for founders and family-owned business owners. KEY INSIGHTS Having sat on the investor side as a partner in growth equity and VC funds, Sal builds his clients' financial infrastructure to the standard that institutional capital partners expect. His firm serves three segments on a nationwide basis. Long-term fractional CFO partnerships with founder-owned businesses priced on a fixed basis, investment banks prepping companies for sale on three-to-six-month engagements, and private equity funds needing to upgrade post-acquisition finance operations. On the AI bubble, Sal argues that in 2000, investment banks took small companies with no revenue public, giving individual investors venture capital-level risk exposure. Today that speculative risk sits in private markets. If a correction comes, it will likely show up in private assets rather than devastating public markets. Of the top 20 S&P 500 companies from 2000, only Microsoft remains in the top 20 today. Sal is also watching how AI will reshape hiring for knowledge-based organizations that need to balance automation with talent development, and whether the private credit market could create downstream pressure on Main Street businesses. Perfect for founders weighing different types of capital, business owners who know their financial infrastructure needs an upgrade, and anyone who wants a grounded AI bubble perspective from someone who survived the dot-com crash.

Dr. John La Puma is a board-certified physician, two-time New York Times bestselling author, and pioneer of culinary medicine—a field that integrates food, lifestyle, and environmental health into medical practice. He also runs a regenerative certified organic farm in Santa Barbara that serves as his living laboratory for “nature as medicine,” where he tests how deliberate time outdoors can restore sleep, focus, resilience, and long‑term health. His latest book, Indoor Epidemic, distills insights from more than 2,200 studies to show how spending 93% of our time indoors steals our energy and performance, and how small, intentional doses of nature—the “Outdoor Rx”—can get them back. On this episode we talk about: How a 12‑year‑old's 4 a.m. paper route shaped Dr. La Puma's work ethic and lifelong love of making money. Why his curiosity about food, ethics, and lifestyle pulled him from traditional medicine into entrepreneurship and book writing. How modern indoor living “environmentally hijacks” us through air quality, light, and movement—and why that quietly taxes your cognition and health. The surprising science behind walking, outdoor movement, and “minimum effective doses” of nature for performance, creativity, and weight loss. Practical ways founders and professionals can redesign their day—walking meetings, morning light, and distance breaks—to make more money by thinking and performing better. Top 3 Takeaways Your environment is either handicapping or amplifying you: sealed, indoor spaces with stale air, dim light, and little movement quietly create a cognitive tax, inflammation, and burnout that no amount of hustle can fix. Small, specific doses of outdoor light, air, and movement—like a 17‑minute morning walk outside and walking meetings—are free levers that dramatically improve sleep, focus, creativity, and long‑term health. You can treat nature like a prescription: structure your day with “daylight before screen time,” frequent distance breaks from your devices, and simple outdoor routines that compound into better decisions, productivity, and ultimately income. Notable Quotes “Most people aren't burned out—they're just indoors too much.” “You're leaving gains on the table if you don't use the natural inputs your brain evolved to expect.” “Daytime before screen time—getting your light first and then your coffee—might be the most powerful way to improve performance that I know.” Connect with Dr. John La Puma: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnlapuma Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johnlapuma/ Other (Book & Free Outdoor Reset): https://IndoorEpidemic.com Website: https://www.drjohnlapuma.com/ Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

THIS EPISODE WILL CHANGE HOW YOU SEE REALITY What if EVERYTHING you've been told about consciousness, reality, and even world events…is only a fraction of the truth? Lee Harris — globally recognized spiritual teacher, intuitive, and best-selling author — is BACK in the studio, and this time he graciously introduces his mysterious guides “The Z's”, a collective consciousness that may even originate from his own higher future self. The Z's claim humanity has been in a “quarantine” of limited consciousness, and we are NOW emerging from it. Why? Because: Humanity is more ready than ever to hear this message. Consciousness is rapidly expanding. And something BIG is unfolding on Earth right now… In a LIVE channeling session, The Z's reveal: - Why THIS moment in history is urgent - How multiple timelines may be converging on Earth - Why war is NOT natural (& what's actually driving global conflict) - Shocking claim that WWIII has nearly happened multiple times already & why fear might be making it MORE likely - Hidden forces influencing global systems - Why labeling things “conspiracy theories” can keep people asleep - Deeper meaning behind the Epstein saga surfacing now - How COVID may have been a turning point in who we trust - Why mainstream media thrives on fear, not love - We may already be interacting with extraterrestrial intelligence - Some of our current technology may NOT be fully human-made - Earth itself could be part of a much larger galactic experiment But this isn't just about big ideas — it's about YOU. With Lee himself, we explore: - How he first began channeling - Do we all have guides tapping into a shared field of consciousness? - Difference between spirit guides vs angels - What it physically feels like to channel (& how Lee comes back to reality after) - What it's like living between the human world and the spirit realm - How to tell the difference between intuition vs fear - Why spirituality might NOT work for everyone - True role of a channeler (and why he doesn't rely on it for everything) - How to stay grounded during “energetic chaos” - Practical ways to grow, speak your truth, & resist division The takeaway? Even as systems feel like they're collapsing… Even as uncertainty rises… There is HOPE. Because: Human consciousness is rising faster than ever. Dark forces are more exposed than ever. And the next 5 years could bring an unprecedented shift in who we are. If you've ever questioned reality… If you feel like something bigger is happening… Or if you're trying to stay balanced in a chaotic world… You NEED to hear this.

This episode examines what we actually know (and importantly, what we do not know) about diet in relation to gallstones and gallbladder conditions. Much of the public-facing guidance around gallstones focuses on "avoiding fatty foods", yet Dr. Angela Madden explains that this long-standing practice sits on surprisingly weak direct evidence, particularly when judged against the standards typically expected for clinical dietary recommendations. A central theme is the need to separate two distinct questions: dietary factors that influence the risk of developing gallstones (prevention), versus dietary strategies intended to reduce symptoms or complications once gallstones exist (management). While the prevention literature suggests plausible, consistent associations with overall diet quality and lifestyle factors, the specific question of prescribing a low-fat diet to manage symptomatic gallstones lacks robust randomized trial evidence. Dr Angela Madden is a clinical researcher in nutrition and dietetics at the University of Hertfordshire, where she established and led the nutrition and dietetics subject group and now focuses her research on improving nutritional assessment, dietary interventions, and patient-centred outcomes in clinical and public health settings.

In this episode of Feminine Frequency, we're doing a Pod swap with our friends over at The New Truth podcast. Amy Natalie dives deep into the heart of feminine liberation with Kate Harlow and we have a conversation that explores the profound journey of shedding societal expectations and the "Good Girl" conditioning that keeps so many women playing small, silent, and disconnected from their true essence. Amy shares her personal evolution from a life of "checking the boxes"—including a traditional marriage and religious expectations—to a life of radical authenticity, vibrant sensuality, and deep somatic healing. Together, the two Amys illuminate the path from people-pleasing and emotional suppression to becoming a Multi-Dimensional Woman: one who embraces her full range of power, truth, and purpose.Themes: How women are conditioned by culture, religion, and lineage to choose acceptance over authenticity, leading to anxiety and physical misalignment.Exploring the inner conflict between attachment and authenticity, inspired by Gabor Maté.How the "Good Girl" program lives in the nervous system and how movement and dance are the keys to unlocking suppressed life forceThe honest reality of the transition period—where old relationships may fall away and a temporary sense of loneliness occurs before new, high-frequency "Soul Family" connections are magnetized.Practical insights on how to speak your truth to loved ones (like parents or partners) in a way that honors your evolution while inviting deeper, more honest intimacy.A celebration of the "New Paradigm" of sisterhood, where women support each other's expansion rather than viewing another's light as a threat to their own.Three-step framework for transformation: Awareness (seeing the patterns), Acceptance (loving the parts that want to hide), and Aligned Action (living as your higher self).SPECIAL OFFER:

Are you stuck in the painful loop of blame, shame, or resentment after a breakup or conflict? "Forgive and forget" sounds simple, but the reality of moving forward—especially when trust or boundaries have been violated—often feels like an impossible task. The baggage we carry from past relationships can quietly dictate our choices and limit our possibilities for genuine connection and growth. In this episode, listeners are guided through the often-misunderstood concept of forgiveness, exploring why it is a vital process for both personal growth and deeper intimacy. The conversation delves into actionable steps for self-forgiveness, reframing painful experiences into opportunities for learning, and examining how releasing emotional burdens can pave the way for new, healthier connections. With practical insights for embracing boundaries, processing emotions, and nurturing gratitude, this episode serves as a roadmap for anyone seeking freedom from the past and the courage to open up to authentic relationships. Dr. Margaret Cochran is a transpersonal psychologist, LCSW, educator, and media personality with over 25 years of clinical experience. She blends ego, transpersonal, and energy psychology to help clients truly heal—not just manage symptoms. Featured on BBC, ABC, FOX, and HuffPost, she's also known on TikTok as "The Relationship Doctor." She makes mental health accessible, practical, and disruptive enough to inspire real, lasting change.   Episode Highlights 03:34 Forgiveness as a foundation for healing and growth in relationships. 07:16 Self-forgiveness and personal accountability after toxic relationships. 10:37 The role of boundaries in building intimacy and navigating change. 15:28 Facing uncertainty and embracing growth in relationship transitions. 16:46 Breaking through limiting beliefs and habituated patterns. 21:59 Taking inspired action toward change and possibility. 23:25 Visualization and quantum jumping: tools for transformation and forgiveness. 29:28 Understanding how the body holds emotion in forgiveness work. 30:50 Rewiring the brain with gratitude and somatic techniques. 34:38 Moving beyond victimhood: Conscious change and self-agency. 38:49 Managing internal resistance and self-sabotage with compassion. 42:32 Celebrating possibility: Cultivating trust and courage. 44:31 Practical forgiveness in everyday relationships and seeking qualified support.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Begin with Self-Forgiveness: Reflect on your role in past relationships and allow yourself grace for mistakes, focusing on learning rather than blame. Acknowledge and Process Emotions: Give yourself permission to fully feel and express emotions after a relationship injury or betrayal before moving into reflection. Embrace the Learning: Ask yourself what lessons you can take from difficult experiences and how you can use them for personal growth. Practice Gratitude Daily: Each morning and evening, list things you're grateful for—even small ones—to start shifting your mindset and emotional state. Set and Maintain Healthy Boundaries: Clarify what you will and will not participate in, and openly communicate agreements and limits in relationships. Use Visualization Techniques: Imagine or visualize a future version of yourself who has grown, healed, and responded differently—let this guide your present choices. Pause and Ask Questions in Conflict: Instead of defending yourself, ask your partner open-ended questions to better understand their feelings and experiences. Challenge Limiting Beliefs: Notice and question any "shoulds," "musts," or impossibility statements (from yourself or others), and remain open to possibilities previously believed unattainable.   Mentioned Shifting Criticism For Connected Communication (free guide)   Connect with Dr. Margaret Cochran Websites: drcochran.com Facebook: facebook.com/drmcochran YouTube: youtube.com/@drmargaretcochran Instagram: instagram.com/doctorcochran LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dr-margaret-cochran Podcast: drcochran.com/podcast

Some of you aren't happy right now — and you're not happy about it. I get it. I've been there. But happy isn't something that just happens to you. It's not a personality you're born with. It's a posture. A decision. A way of showing up before the world even gets a chance to throw its stuff at you. Monday's coming. Problems are coming. The world isn't going to get easier. But you can change how you meet it — starting right now. Press play and let's get your happy operating system running. Featured Story I watch my wife, Joy. And yes — her name literally is Joy. She lives up to it every single day. Consistently happy. Never a problem, except when I cause one. And what gets me: I'm a high-maintenance guy. I'll go ten minutes deep on why there are tomatoes on my sandwich when I didn't ask for them. I have opinions I don't need. I complain. I wobble. But Joy? She never does. So I started copying her. Copying how she thought. How she stood in things. And somewhere along the way, I started becoming more like her. That's when I figured out — happiness is contagious if you let it be. Important Points Happy isn't a personality you were born with — it's a posture you choose on purpose before the day gets started. Every challenge you face is proof you're still in the game — people who stop getting challenges aren't playing anymore. The action always comes first and the feelings follow — don't wait to feel happy before you act like a happy person. Memorable Quotes Happy is not a personality. Happy is a posture — and happy people choose it on purpose every single day. We don't laugh because we're happy. We're happy because we laugh — the action comes first, feelings follow later. Your peace isn't for sale because of what happens today — there's beauty everywhere, and it's always up to you. Scott's Three-Step Approach Pick your posture before the day starts — decide right now how you'll stand in whatever Monday throws your way. Act like the happy version of you that's already there — smile first, move first, and let the feelings catch up. When frustration shows up, take it as a sign you're moving forward — then keep going and celebrate the small wins.

Semen Viability & “Semen Math”: Maximize Success with Fresh, Chilled & FrozenDr. Marty Greer returns to break down semen viability, the six parameters of semen analysis, practical “semen math,” and strategies for maximizing success with fresh-chilled and frozen semen.Marty joins Laura to demystify semen viability and the practical realities of breeding with fresh, chilled and frozen semen. Whether you're a first-time breeder or seasoned pro, this conversation delivers veterinary-backed guidance on how to assess semen quality, plan collections and protect valuable genetic material.Key topics covered:Semen Math: Dr. Greer walks through the core formula: ejaculate volume × sperm concentration × percent motile × percent morphologically normal (× post-thaw survival for frozen samples) to determine total usable sperm and number of breeding units. Use this to decide when to freeze, how many straws/pellets equal a true breeding unit, and when to be conservative with limited inventory.Six parameters of semen analysis: ejaculate volume, gross appearance, sperm count, morphology, motility (directional swimming vs. circular or backward movement), and longevity. Why each matters and what incomplete reports (e.g., “plenty here”) really mean.Fresh vs. frozen considerations: why you shouldn't “clean out” a male the night before collection; why freezing early (when the dog is young and virile) is critical; how older dogs and fragile semen tolerate freeze-thaw poorly; and breed- and individual-level variability in freeze tolerance.Practical troubleshooting for failed frozen breedings: confirm historic fertility, review original collection age/count/post-thaw stats, check packaging (straws vs. pellets) and breeding-unit definition, and discuss TCI vs. surgical options with your repro clinic.iSperm and accessibility: overview of affordable, tablet-based semen analyzers as a community tool for clinics and breeders to get reliable counts.Small, actionable tips: warming slides for motility checks, thermal risks to sperm, timing for clean-out collections, and using anti-inflammatory protocols that some clinics employ with compromised breedings.

On this solo episode, Travis breaks down how to design a realistic, sustainable morning routine that actually supports your energy, focus, and productivity instead of becoming a four-hour checklist you feel guilty about skipping. Drawing from years of experimenting with different habits, he shares what truly moves the needle—especially if you're a self-described night person who wakes up feeling behind. On this episode we talk about: Why over-engineered, four-hour morning routines can hurt your day more than help it. The core pillars of an effective routine: hydration, sunlight, and movement. Practical ways to move your body in the morning without being a “gym rat.” How journaling, meditation, and even cold showers or sauna can support your mental state. The importance of starting with just one habit and sometimes skipping everything to do your most important work first. Top 3 Takeaways An effective morning routine should change your state, not become a rigid box-checking exercise that makes you feel behind or guilty when life happens. Simple habits like electrolytes and water, getting 15–20 minutes of sunlight, moving your body, and staying off your phone can dramatically improve focus, mood, and sleep. Start with one habit that makes other habits easier—like waking up at a consistent time—and build from there while remembering that sometimes the best move is to wake up and do your most important work first. Notable Quotes "You do not want to have a crazy four-hour long morning routine. It can actually be more detrimental to your day than not having a morning routine at all." "The entire goal here is not to check boxes. The entire goal is to set yourself up to be in a state that allows you to have a productive and positive day." "Start with one thing, and make that one thing the thing that makes other things easier once you've accomplished the first thing on the list."

Complacency Is Not Collapse—It's Drift Most men don't ruin their lives overnight. They slowly drift through comfort, compromise, and lack of intentionality.   2. Success Can Become a Trap The same men who grind to build success often stop doing the very things that got them there.   3. Freedom Is a Daily Fight Whether in marriage, business, fitness, or recovery—discipline must be renewed every day.   4. Brotherhood Prevents Blind Spots Men rarely recognize their own drift in isolation. Strong accountability exposes complacency before it becomes collapse.   5. Your Family Feels Your Complacency When a man loses his edge, his marriage, children, and legacy suffer.   6. Faith Anchors Discipline A man rooted in truth and purpose is far less likely to drift when life gets hard.   --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

Mark Smith and Keith Atherton discuss the shift beyond traditional low-code towards natural language, agent-driven development, where context, outcomes, and governance matter more than interfaces. They examine why developer fundamentals still matter, how generative AI accelerates delivery, and what new makers should focus on as Microsoft investment, tooling, and certifications pivot towards agentic and AI-first approaches.

“The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.” - ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13‬:‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Mike Day:-This House: A Culture Of Generosity The church provides structured guidance on fostering biblical generosity through ten core strategies, such as vision casting and transparent financial reporting. The teaching emphasizes that giving is an act of worship and trust that reflects God's character and liberates individuals from the "false promises" of money. Church leaders are provided with specific scripts to frame the offering as a transition from being a consumer to a contributor and as an expression of gratitude for God's provision. Practical applications mentioned include supporting local missions like Straatwerk and various youth ministries led by staff members. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GvCIe6SLYGHlzjiIl-JUuqmErsqPo917/view?usp=sharing

#316 Chloe Turner has lived with Crohn's disease for 25 years. She's also a degree-qualified naturopath and clinical microbiome consultant at Microba — one of Australia's most advanced gut microbiome testing companies. In this conversation, she brings both worlds together: the science of what microbiome testing actually reveals in IBD, and the deeply human experience of living inside a body that can turn on you without warning. Chloe talks candidly about the psychological weight of waiting for the next flare, why clinical remission doesn't always mean your microbiome is safe, and how shotgun metagenomics testing is catching things that colonoscopies and blood tests simply miss — including stealth pathogens like EPEC quietly driving inflammation while everything else looks stable.   In this episode, you'll discover: What gut microbiome testing reveals that conventional IBD workups cannot How EPEC and E. coli species silently fuel flares — and what to do about it Why clinical remission doesn't mean your microbiome is out of the danger zone How microbiome shifts can precede a flare before symptoms appear The emerging link between microbiome state and biologic medication response The psychological weight of the relapse-recovery cycle and how Chloe navigates it personally Why intuition and anxiety around food can look identical and how to tell them apart Practical dietary and supplement strategies used alongside conventional IBD care Why annual microbiome testing could be one of the most powerful tools for flare prevention What Chloe wishes she'd known 25 years ago If you're living with Crohn's, colitis, or any form of IBD, or you're a practitioner working in this space, this episode is for you.

From smoggy San Diego tennis courts to shaping the Green New Deal, my guest Mark Z. Jacobson has spent his life answering one question: How do we actually fix air pollution and climate change? In this episode, I talk with the Stanford professor and director of the Atmosphere/Energy Program about why we don't need miracle technologies; we just need to deploy the clean solutions that already work. You'll hear why many “solutions” like carbon capture, blue hydrogen, biofuels, and new nuclear are expensive distractions, how wind, water, and solar can reliably power the grid 100%, and why electrifying everything (cars, heating, cooking, industry) slashes both energy use and deaths from air pollution. https://youtu.be/DDTbFNebRVE Mark also walks me through real-world data from 150+ country-level transition plans, his own 100% renewable home, and why the biggest barrier now isn't technology, it's politics, misinformation, and lack of focus. If you're a founder, policymaker, or just a concerned citizen wondering whether we're doomed or if the solutions are real, this episode will help you see what actually works, what doesn't, and how you and I can both help accelerate the transition. Quotes: “We don't need miracle technologies to solve climate change, we need the courage to deploy the solutions we already have.” “Every year we delay the transition to clean energy, seven and a half million more people die from air pollution. Waiting is not neutral, it's deadly.” “This isn't a technology problem anymore; it's a focus problem. When we ignore the distractions and double down on wind, water, and solar, a 100% clean energy world becomes inevitable.” Resources: Mark Jacobson on LinkedIn Stanford University

In complex environments, the leaders who stand out are the ones who make ideas easier to see. In Episode 256 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Vered Kogan speaks with Todd Cherches, CEO of Big Blue Gumball, about how visual thinking can transform the way leaders communicate, influence, and drive change.

What does it actually mean to "trust life" — especially when life is handing you something genuinely hard? In this Meditation Party episode (originally aired in 2024), Dan, Sebene Selassie, and Jeff Warren dig into that question from multiple angles: as a personal mantra, a philosophical stance, and a daily practice. Plus: listener questions on rumination, work-life balance, and the eternal napping-vs.-meditating debate. "Trust Life" vs. "This Is the Curriculum" — Sebene shares the origin of her tattoo and what the mantra has meant through years of health challenges.  The three timescales of practice — Jeff breaks down how meditation works in the moment, over months and years, and across the arc of a whole life. The third one is where things get interesting. Obsessive thinking / rumination — Practical tools from all three, including one from Sebene involving a trampoline, and one from a clinical psychologist that will make you feel ridiculous in the best way. Sebene Selassie describes herself as a "writer, teacher, and immigrant-weirdo." She teaches meditation on the ten percent happier app and is the author of a great book called You Belong. She's based in Brooklyn.  Jeff Warren is also a writer and a meditation teacher. He and Dan co-wrote the book, Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics. He also hosts the Consciousness Explorers podcast. He's based in Toronto.  Related episodes:  How to Stay Calm No Matter What's Happening | Sebene Selassie and Jeff WarrenScience-Based Tools for When You're Stressed, Obsessed, or Overthinking | Dr. Jenny Taitz Get the 10% with Dan Harris app hereSign up for Dan's free newsletter hereFollow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTokSubscribe to our YouTube Channel To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/10HappierwithDanHarris

In this episode of The Purpose Show, we're talking about your energy and how it shapes the way you experience your life. This is not about being positive all the time. It is about understanding how your emotional state, nervous system, and mindset influence your reactions and your results. I'm sharing simple, practical ways to shift your energy so you can move through challenges with more clarity and intention. We'll talk about reframing your perspective, focusing on solutions, leaning on support, and taking care of yourself in ways that actually restore you. If you've been feeling stuck or overwhelmed, this episode will help you reconnect with your power and choose how you want to show up.

Somebody sent me a message the other day saying I seem like such a positive guy — and then something clicks, and I go negative and ruin their day. I've heard it before, and it tells me something about how people think about positivity. I am positive. Absolutely. But I've spent enough years doing this to know that positivity by itself doesn't get you where you want to go. Sometimes it just makes you feel better about staying put. Today I'm talking about what happens when you pair positivity with truth — and why that's where peace actually lives. Featured Story I worked with a woman a few years back who everyone loved being around. She had one of those smiles — you just wanted to be her. She walked into a room and took it over. But underneath, she was miserable. She'd trained herself to reframe everything so fast that she never actually dealt with anything. Bad quarter at work? All part of the process. Marriage falling apart? Just growing in different directions. Her positivity had become a shield, and behind it, nothing was getting better. I asked her one question: "What would happen if you just admitted this isn't working?" She immediately broke down in tears. Nobody had ever given her permission to be honest. Important Points Positivity isn't the problem — positivity without truth is. Stay upbeat, but don't pretend the hard stuff isn't there. When being positive becomes the goal instead of the tool, it stops working and keeps you smiling in the same spot. Peace doesn't come from avoiding hard feelings — it comes from looking at them clearly and moving through them. Memorable Quotes "Positivity by itself doesn't get you everywhere — sometimes it just makes you feel better about staying where you are." "All the years I spent trying to be the most positive guy in the room, smiling through everything — that exhausted me." "A positive person says things will work out — a practical person says the same and looks at the ugly stuff in the way." Scott's Three-Step Approach Pick one area of your life where you've been staying positive but avoiding something that needs your honest attention. Look at it directly without reframing or rushing past it — just name what's true, even if it feels uncomfortable. Stay positive while you fix it — real peace comes from facing the hard parts, not from pretending they don't exist.

In this episode, I'm joined by Eric Zimmer for a grounded and honest conversation about what real change actually looks like and why lasting transformation usually doesn't happen all at once. Eric shares his powerful recovery story, what finally helped him create lasting change, and why the smallest daily choices often matter more than the big breakthrough moments we tend to chase. We talk about how to work with the parts of ourselves we'd rather avoid, what to do when we shut down, shrink, or feel overwhelmed, and why true growth comes from learning how to relate to ourselves differently over time. Eric also shares practical tools for changing the meaning we assign to situations, building wise habits, and taking small steps that add up to a meaningful life. In this episode, you'll learn:  Why overnight transformation is a myth, and what actually creates lasting change How small, consistent actions can build real momentum over time What it means to befriend the parts of yourself you want to avoid How awareness helps you catch patterns like shutting down, shrinking, or going blank in real time Practical ways to regulate your nervous system and stay connected to yourself in difficult moments Why having a simple phrase prepared can help when emotions take over How to rethink overwhelm and shift out of the feeling that life is happening to you A simple 3-question tool to help you challenge discouraging thoughts and choose a more supportive perspective Resources from this Episode: Eric's website Eric's podcast: The One You Feed Eric's book: How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant
