A live Q&A session with meditation teacher Jeff Warren, where Dan and Jeff tackle some of the hardest questions in meditation and life. Jeff Warren is a meditation teacher, author, and co-founder of the Consciousness Explorers Club. In this live session recorded on Zoom with subscribers to the 10% with Dan Harris app, Jeff and Dan take questions about insomnia, chronic pain, caring for aging parents, existential fears for loved ones, and what to do when your meditation practice feels stuck. We talk about: How to get equanimity around existential fears for your kids (which Jeff calls "the single hardest thing in human life") Why acceptance is a terrible word and equanimity is better The difference between doomsday spirals and what's actually happening right now Practical strategies for insomnia and chronic pain (including why your goal shouldn't be eight hours of unconscious sleep) What to do when you feel stuck in your meditation practice (hint: the plateau is normal) Three strategies for turning down the volume on your constant mental narrator Jeff also introduces the practice of asking your meditation a question—literally seeding a question in your mind during practice and seeing what bubbles up. It's surprisingly effective for creative blocks and getting unstuck. These live sessions happen every week in the 10% with Dan Harris app, where you can meditate with Dan and guest teachers and ask questions in real time.

In this Jewish Inspiration Podcast episode (Day 126), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues the Gate of Truth (Sha'ar HaEmes) from Orchos Tzaddikim, stressing that truth is the core of God, the soul, and Jewish destiny in exile. Key teachings:Prolonged exile due to sins — Current long exile stems from Jewish sins; we must separate from worldly vanities and cling to Hashem's seal—truth.Sanctify through truth — Abstain even from permissible things to avoid any trace of falsehood (97% truth = 100% false); never lie or mislead Jew or Gentile in any matter.Exile for converts — Hashem scattered Jews among nations to add gerim (converts); honest dealings inspire non-Jews to join (Midrash: “I will sow her for Myself in the land” = exile brings converts).Return stolen items — Stories of Rabbi Shimon ben Shetach returning a precious stone in a donkey purchase, and sages returning money found in wheat—Gentiles proclaimed “Blessed is the God of the Jews.” Sanctification of God's Name through honesty.Reward of truth — Truth sprouts from earth; righteousness looks down from heaven (Psalms 85:12). Truthful living glorifies Hashem and draws divine favor.Wicked rewarded in this world — Hashem pays wicked for minor merits now to destroy them eternally (Deuteronomy); better for righteous to suffer briefly here and receive eternal reward in Olam Haba.Practical application — Cling to truth in all dealings; exile teaches separation from falsehood and reliance on Hashem alone.The rabbi reflects on modern parallels (antisemitism, unity in crises like Nachshon Waxman) and urges living truthfully to hasten redemption—Moshiach comes when truth prevails.

In this live episode from the AHR 2026 Podcast Pavilion, Bryan sits down with Copeland's Josh Souders (Manager of Commercial Unitary Product Management) and Jeff Kukert (Compression Senior Technical Trainer) to dive deep into Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI) technology and its transformative impact on HVAC systems. This conversation offers both technical professionals and industry newcomers a comprehensive look at how vapor injection is revolutionizing heat pump performance, particularly in challenging climate conditions. The discussion centers on how EVI technology addresses one of the industry's most persistent challenges: maintaining high heat pump capacity in extremely low-temperature conditions. Josh and Jeff explain that vapor injection can deliver up to 20% added capacity and 10% improved efficiency while simultaneously enhancing compressor reliability. This technology, which has been a staple in refrigeration applications for years, is now becoming increasingly prevalent in commercial and residential HVAC systems, especially as cold climate heat pumps gain traction across North America. The guests make the complex topic accessible by breaking down how the system works—taking liquid refrigerant from the condensing line, running it through an expansion device and brazed plate heat exchanger (economizer), and injecting the cooled vapor directly back into the compressor scroll at a specific intermediate point. What makes this episode particularly valuable is the practical guidance offered for field technicians. The conversation moves beyond theoretical explanations to address real-world implementation challenges and troubleshooting strategies. Josh and Jeff emphasize the importance of understanding operating envelopes, pulse-width modulated (PWM) valves, pressure transducers, and modern control systems. They introduce Copeland's latest product developments, including the YAW variable speed vapor injection platform (1.5 to 25 tons) and the upcoming YAB two-stage vapor injection system launching later in 2026. The discussion also touches on applications beyond traditional HVAC, including commercial water heating and boiler replacement systems where high discharge temperatures are crucial. Throughout the episode, the guests maintain an encouraging tone toward technicians who may feel intimidated by these advancing technologies. They stress that while EVI systems may appear complex with additional tubing, heat exchangers, valves, and sensors, the underlying thermodynamic principles remain the same. The key is familiarizing oneself with new components like PWM valves and modern controllers, and leveraging tools like Copeland Mobile to verify system performance against operating envelopes. This episode serves as both an educational resource and a call to action for HVAC professionals to embrace these emerging technologies that are rapidly becoming industry standard. Topics Covered Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI) fundamentals – How EVI works, its history in refrigeration, and why it's now critical for commercial and residential HVAC applications Capacity and efficiency benefits – Achieving up to 20% capacity boost and 10% efficiency improvement, particularly in low-ambient heating conditions Compressor reliability improvements – How injecting cooled vapor into the scroll set manages discharge temperatures and extends compressor life under high compression ratios Operating envelope management – Understanding compressor operational limits and using tools like Copeland Mobile to verify field conditions stay within safe parameters Cold climate heat pump technology – Meeting DOE's Cold Climate Heat Pump Challenge requirements for 100% capacity at 5°F ambient conditions System architecture and components – Detailed explanation of economizers (brazed plate heat exchangers), pulse-width modulated (PWM) valves, pressure transducers, and advanced controllers Compression ratio challenges – Managing the increased work required when outdoor temperatures drop while indoor condensing temperatures remain constant New Copeland product platforms – Introduction to YAW variable speed vapor injection (1.5-25 tons), YAB two-stage vapor injection (launching 2026), and tandem variable speed configurations Applications beyond traditional HVAC – Water heating systems, commercial boiler replacement, and managing high discharge temperatures for Legionella protection Technician training and tools – Practical advice on learning PWM valves, thermistors, transducers, and system controllers; emphasis on using Copeland Mobile for dynamic performance analysis Market trends and adoption – How vapor injection is becoming standard in premium residential systems and increasingly common across commercial rooftop units and dedicated outdoor air systems Installation and service considerations – Proper system design to avoid oversizing, humidity control in hot-humid climates, and troubleshooting techniques for complex control systems   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

In this episode, Anne breaks down how “vibe coding” and AI-powered tools are radically changing entrepreneurship—making it possible for anyone (even non-technical founders) to build MVPs, validate ideas, and reach market in days instead of months. On this episode we talk about: What “vibe coding” is and how non-technical founders can build MVPs in minutes Why traditional startup development (and million-dollar dev budgets) are becoming obsolete How AI is shrinking feedback loops and accelerating product-market fit The skills founders actually need in an AI-first world Practical ways to test ideas, validate demand, and market early-stage products Top 3 Takeaways You no longer need a big dev team or massive funding to launch—AI tools let founders build and iterate MVPs in days, not years. The real differentiator isn't code anymore—it's critical thinking, understanding users, and building something people actually want. Entrepreneurs who succeed will be “umbrella-skilled generalists,” able to build, test, market, and adapt quickly as technology evolves. Notable Quotes “Code is no longer a moat—the little dragon is the vibe coder.” “It's not a question anymore if you can build it. It's a question if you should build it.” “Unless you can wear multiple hats, it's going to be very hard to defend just one skill.” Connect with Anne Cocquyt: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annecocquyt Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/annecocquyt Other: Website: https://annecocquyt.com The Guild Studio: Letsguild.com/studio  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Richard Carson, author of The Book of Change. If you feel like you barely finish one change before the next one hits, this conversation is for you. Richard shares his deeply researched and battle-tested framework called People Sustained Organizational Change Management, or PSOCM. Unlike many change management books, this is not about certifications or slogans. It is about building a repeatable system to diagnose problems, distinguish adaptive from transformational change, and gain executive traction when support is not automatic. You will hear why so many change efforts fail before they even begin, how to craft a clear problem statement, and what leaders often misunderstand about the type of change they are facing. Richard also explains why he chose the phrase "People Sustained" and how thinking structurally about change can even help at home. If you're looking for practical, grounded insights on leading through continuous change, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "My advice to you is to anticipate change and manage change before it manages you." "Different change models have been introduced in the literature, but there has not been one coherent model for managing organizational change." "PSOCM is driven by defined actions with statistical metrics that produce measurable results." "You get a free book and the next thing you know you're getting the pitch to hire them at an exorbitant amount of money per hour." "Organizations consist of people, and it is the people who are primarily the problem." "Change management is proactive. Emergency management is reactive." "It is not productive to put the organization on the couch and ask, 'Well, what do you think?'" "You can change a process, but you cannot change a person's underlying psychology." "You now own it, or it now owns you."

It's a great discussion that I think you'll find quite practical. Episode 344 with Peter Bregman and Howie Jacobson. Their book is about change, but not at the organizational level. They think you can change other people, which sounds presumptuous at the least. But they back that up in the interview so check out episode 344 for more. Episode 53 with John Kotter.

This episode of MakingChips is different from most conversations we have on the show, and it needed to be. In late 2025, the manufacturing community was shaken by the murder of Amber Czech, a welder who was killed by a coworker after reporting harassment multiple times. That tragedy forced many of us to confront an uncomfortable truth: workplace violence and harassment are not abstract issues. They are real, ongoing, and present in the trades today. In this episode, Paul Van Metre is joined by Nush Ahmed, CEO of Sisterhood of Trades, along with two national experts who work directly on workplace violence and gender justice. Jessica Stender of Equal Rights Advocates and Anna Van Balen of Futures Without Violence bring decades of experience working with employers, workers, and policymakers to help address harassment, escalation, and prevention in real workplaces. Together, we talk candidly about how harassment often becomes normalized in the trades, why underreporting is so common, and how unchecked behavior can escalate into violence. We also discuss what shop owners and leaders can do today, not just to comply with the law, but to build workplaces that are genuinely safe, respectful, and welcoming. This conversation is about responsibility. It's about leadership. And it's about recognizing that culture, policies, and daily behavior all play a role in preventing harm. For owners, managers, and anyone who cares about the future of manufacturing, this episode is a call to take workplace safety seriously, before another tragedy forces the issue.

What is practical is teaching half of your classes or a third of your classes and building up instructors." [Nick, 20:04] "I don't think teaching at your own studio is the end of the world, I don't think doing your front desk is the end of the world. I think that is probably where you should be until you realize 'hey, I can coach someone up to do this.'" [Nick, 20:46] "Stop delaying launches or changes until everything is ready. Instead make decisions that reduce stress and increase clarity, this quarter, not some day." [21:33] "It is just about making progress, taking steps, sometimes taking risks, sometimes playing it safe because the risk is not worth the time it will put out on the other end."

It is the way of Jesus.In this episode, we slow down and study Scripture together to understand empathy not as a personality trait, but as a biblical posture formed by the heart of God.After last week's episode on finding hope when the world feels broken became the most responded-to episode in all 120 recordings, it became clear: people are longing to be seen, understood, and met with compassion.So today, we open our Bibles and look at how Jesus modeled empathy in real, tangible ways.What We Study in This EpisodeJohn 5:1–9 — The Man at the PoolJesus heals without blame or interrogation of past failure.Matthew 8:1–3 — The LeperCompassion crosses social and religious barriers.Luke 10:25–37 — The Good SamaritanEmpathy that is costly, courageous, and obedient.What You'll Walk Away With• A deeper theological understanding of empathy • A clearer view of how Jesus embodied compassion • Insight into why empathy feels scarce in today's culture • Practical ways to cultivate empathy rooted in ScriptureEmpathy begins with seeing.And seeing begins with slowing down.Grab your Bible as you listen, and download the free companion study guide to continue digging into the historical context, theological meaning, and personal application of this episode.Download the Episode #120 Study Guide here: [Insert Link]Key Verse (SOAP Together)“But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.” — Luke 10:33If this episode encouraged or challenged you, consider sharing it with someone who may need to be reminded of what compassion looks like.Let's be people who don't just pass by.

Ever catch your mind declaring you incompetent after a single slip. We go straight to the heart of that voice and gently dismantle its all or nothing rules with a short, steadying practice you can repeat anytime. Instead of debating the critic, we map its favorite phrases, notice how it lands in the body, and build a kinder, truer standard for competence that leaves room for learning.We start by naming the core question the critic attacks—am I competent—and get specific about where it shows up: presentations, parenting, creative work, or decisions under pressure. Then we set up a simple posture that feels relaxed and alert, soften the jaw and shoulders, and follow the breath. When the mind wanders and the inner critic jumps in, we label it and return to the breath without drama. That move from judgment to observation trains the nervous system to settle rather than spiral. Along the way, we explore how criticism feels physically—tight chest, closed throat, fluttering belly—and how meeting those sensations with patience builds resilience.To anchor a new narrative, we add a compassionate phrase: I will make mistakes and that's okay; everyone makes mistakes. From there, we shift into constructive action: one small step that proves capability in real time. This episode blends mindfulness, self-compassion, and practical coaching so you can interrupt perfectionism, reduce cognitive distortions, and reclaim a grounded sense of competence at work, at home, and in creative projects. If the inner critic has been loud lately, this is your daily reset—simple, repeatable, and honest.If this resonated, tap follow, share it with someone who needs a gentler standard today, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.Support the showCertify To Teach Mindfulness: Certify.MindfulnessExercises.com Email: Sean@MindfulnessExercises.com Mindfulness Exercises with Sean Fargo is a practical, grounded mindfulness podcast for people who want meditation to actually help in real life.

The fashion industry is the world's second‑largest contributor to carbon emissions, surpassed only by agriculture. With such a significant impact on the climate, the question is: what can we actually do about it? Tech entrepreneur and founder of SOJO, Josephine Philips, wants you to stop throwing clothes away and think about what you're buying. In her conversation with Amol, they explore the wider issues tied to fast fashion, including exploitative labour practices, overflowing landfills, and the relentless pace of production. They also look at the rise of second‑hand shopping, from charity shops to online resale platforms, and how this shift is reshaping consumer habits. She says legislation can play a major role in holding large companies accountable for their product life cycle and Josephine shares practical, everyday steps we can all take to reduce our impact on the environment.

What's more romantic than roses and chocolate? How about not fighting about money. Joe Saul-Sehy and OG welcome Douglas and Heather Boneparth, the financial planning power couple who literally wrote the book on navigating money in relationships. Broadcasting from the basement (where love is patient and spreadsheets are kind), the crew dives into how people can build financial trust, avoid money secrets, and actually enjoy talking about dollars without it turning into a heavyweight title fight. Whether you're navigating finances with a romantic partner, a roommate splitting rent, an accountability partner keeping you honest, or a family member you're in business with, these principles apply. Because let's face it: our Stacker avatar isn't trying to impress Wall Street. You're trying to build a great life with the people who matter, without money becoming the thing that creates tension. Douglas and Heather break down what healthy financial communication really looks like, how to spot and prevent financial secrecy, and why shared goals matter more than perfectly matched spending styles. They also tackle the tricky stuff: different money upbringings, emotional baggage around finances, and how to reset when conversations go sideways. And since this is the basement, you'll also get practical reminders about key financial deadlines (because nothing kills momentum like IRS penalties), smart ways to teach kids about money, and Doug's festive trivia to keep things light. What You'll Learn: How to talk about money without it escalating into a debate or argument The warning signs of financial secrecy and how to prevent it in any relationship Why shared goals matter more than identical personalities or spending styles Practical ways to align spending, saving, and investing with another person How your childhood money experiences shape your adult financial behavior Smart ways to teach kids patience, work reward connections, and intentional spending Important financial deadlines to keep on your radar Why communication, not math, is often the real key to financial success This Episode Is For You If: You avoid money conversations because they always seem to go badly You're navigating shared finances with a partner, roommate, or family member You want to align financial goals with someone without constant friction You're single but have accountability partners or friends you talk money with You believe better communication is the key to better financial outcomes Question for You: What's one money conversation that felt awkward at first but ultimately made a relationship (romantic, friendship, or otherwise) stronger? Drop your answer in the Spotify comments or the Stacking Benjamins Facebook group. You might just help another Stacker start a better conversation. Because in the end, mastering money isn't just about returns. It's about building a life and relationships that work.

If you have been feeling lost, like you are doing everything "right" but still cannot feel where your life is going, you are not broken. You are overloaded with noise and under supported with your own truth. In this episode, I walk you through a simple Japanese framework for finding your life purpose (Ikigai) in a way that is grounded, practical, and real-life friendly. No quitting your job on a whim. No blowing up your marriage. No pretending you are moving to Bali to become a crypto bro or a sound healer. We also talk about the sneaky way self-sabotage shows up right when you are about to choose the path that would actually make you feel alive, and how "confusion" can become a protective strategy that keeps you safe from being seen. You will learn how to use the 4 circles of Ikigai (what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can get paid for), plus a 60 second somatic practice to feel expansion vs contraction in your body so you can stop outsourcing your purpose to overthinking.

For a lot of us, having kids absolutely wrecks our sex lives… at least for a while. And no one really prepares you for that. In this episode, we're joined by Rebecca Howard Eudy, PhD, LMHC, an AASECT-certified sex therapist and couples therapist, to talk about what actually happens to desire, intimacy, and connection after kids (or even just in long term relationships). We dig into exhaustion, resentment, pressure, and why so many couples assume something is wrong with them, when really they're just navigating a huge shift. This conversation is about understanding what's happening and figuring out how to rebuild intimacy in a way that actually works for the season you're in. We cover: How pressure kills intimacy. What happens when sex becomes another expectation instead of a point of connection. Why resentment shows up in the bedroom. How unequal labor, emotional disconnect, and unspoken needs quietly erode desire. How to rebuild emotional and physical intimacy. Practical ways to reconnect that do not rely on forcing desire or “trying harder.” Why sex changes so much after kids. Rebecca explains how exhaustion, mental load, and identity shifts directly impact desire and arousal. The difference between low desire and low capacity. Why many parents still want sex but feel too depleted to access it. Understanding desire differences after parenthood. Why mismatched desire is common and not a sign something is wrong with your relationship. Why scheduling intimacy can actually help. How planning connection creates safety and reduces pressure instead of killing spontaneity. The importance of redefining sex after kids. Moving beyond penetration-focused sex and expanding what intimacy can look like now. How to talk about sex without blame or defensiveness. Language shifts that help couples feel like teammates again.
