My Guest: Nick Gray is the author of The Two-Hour Cocktail Party and founder of Museum Hack. He's mastered the art of hosting events that strengthen networks and build genuine connections. In this conversation, he shares practical systems for hosting gatherings, why every leader needs a personal website, and lessons learned from his viral blind date trip to Tokyo. The Learning Leader Show Key Learnings Two Great Ice Breaker Questions:  What's a compliment that someone has given you that you've never forgotten about?  If you could teach any class about a topic that you're an expert on, what would it be? The power of a network is real: As a leader, you're probably hiring people regularly or looking for investors. By hosting simple, lightweight meetups or dinner parties, or happy hours once a quarter, you can strengthen your network, build it, and keep those loose connections or weak ties warm. Mix professional and personal contacts: For me, a really boring event would be all work people. Look for occupational diversity. If you're hosting a work event, invite some other random folks who you know are gonna be good conversationalists and add to the energy. Don't reach for the top shelf first. Most important advice for leaders: do not invite your most impressive contact to your very first happy hour or meetup. Your first party should be for your neighbors, the parents of kids at your school, those LinkedIn connections, high school buddies you haven't seen in a while. Your first party should be a comfortable meetup for 15 to 22 people that you host at your home with just cocktails, not a dinner party. Then slowly, once a quarter, you'll be adding more people to it and filtering your list. Collect RSVPs to ensure attendance. New hosts are absolutely terrified that nobody will arrive. As long as you get a minimum of 15 people to show up, your party will generally be a success. Use platforms like Partiful or Mixily (not Paperless Post or Evite) to get people to RSVP, let them know what to expect, and send reminder messages. Ten days before, send a reminder message hyping up the party. About a week before, send another reminder message with a little dossier of who the attendees are. Write something little: "Ryan Hawk hosts a podcast. He wrote a book. He lives in Ohio. Ask him about the ski trip he went on with his family." This serves to make anxious people or socially awkward feel like they're welcome and they have a conversational access point. Practical hosting tips on event day: Label your trash cans and your bathrooms. As people arrive, greet and welcome every single person, and make them a name tag. Write it out right in front of them, first name only. Do not pre-write your name tags. Force collisions through structured activities. Your job as a leader is to go through life collecting the interesting people that you meet and helping them meet each other.  Can you become a connector? One way to be a connector is to host these meetups and force the collisions. Lead two or three rounds of introductions at your meetup. Make a little announcement 30 minutes after it starts: "There are so many interesting people here. I want you all to meet each other. We're gonna split into small groups. It might seem silly, but I promise the purpose tonight is for you to talk to as many new people as possible. We're gonna split into small groups of three or four people, and you're gonna go around and tell your life story in two minutes." End on time, especially for weekday events: Host from 6:30 to 8:30 PM with a hard stop on Tuesday or Wednesday nights. People appreciate having an end time because they have responsibilities. Having that end time makes them more likely to RSVP yes and actually attend. "I get more compliments on my party ending on time, and they leave with a positive experience, so they want to return for another." Why every leader needs a personal website. If you have a blue check verified on Instagram, if you post at least once a month on LinkedIn, you probably need your own personal website. It's proactive reputation management. People are out there searching for you on Google and on ChatGPT. It may not happen every single day, but it probably happens every week. Whether it's parents of your kids at school, whether it's new employees, people are googling you. You want to have a personal website to put your best foot forward and make a good impression. Carrd.co to create a simple homepage or cloudflare to set up your domain name.  Keep it simple: You don't need a Gary Vee type page. Your page can look like a Google Doc. Feed these large language models your story and bio. My website is plain text, simple homepage. I used to have a fancy design site. Now I'm like, dude, it doesn't matter. 80% of my visitors are on their cell phone and just want to read some text and have some links. The tweet from 2024 that changed everything.  The viral Tokyo blind date trip taught me I was ready to share my life with someone. I ended up meeting my wife a couple of months after this experience because I realized I was ready. From a business perspective, one of the most interesting things while that was happening and for about a week afterwards: anyone would accept my phone call. My callbacks were instantaneous. My dial to answer fast. People were reaching out from everywhere. I was like, whoa, is this what it's like to be a celebrity? "I came back to Texas after the trip, ready to truly settle down and find a relationship and meet my now wife." Write like you talk: The best book about storytelling is Storyworthy by Matthew Dicks. Don't try to write a LinkedIn post that says "I'm happy to announce." Would you actually say that to someone? No, you wouldn't. Say it like you talk. Advice on Blind Introductions: Use a double opt-in intro. Reach out to one person first, "Hey, are you taking new clients before I connect you with a friend?" Get both parties' permission, separately - then send the email.  Give yourself a Free Day: Dan Sullivan suggests one free day a quarter from work. Make it a weekday, and even get a burner phone so you can't check your work text/emails, so you're completely disconnected from work.  The keys to being a great host/MC: Priya Parker does such a great job talking about the theory of being a good leader. The host that doesn't do a great job is the one who's too cool to care. Give explicit instructions to people. You are a ring leader for an event, and you're in charge of everyone's energy levels and keeping the show on the road.  Add value before taking value. Never send someone a message, "I'd love to pick your brain," or "I'm looking for a mentor." That is take, take, take. Think about how you can add value first. When you add value first to people, it's some sort of law of reciprocity. They're much more likely to want to help you out or do something in return. Advice for new grads in the AI era: AI and new tools are eating into the ability for companies to hire low-level employees that do grunt work. Learn how to use the tools themselves. Work with small businesses and entrepreneurs where you can make a difference. Develop a writing practice: Matthew Dicks has this activity called Homework for Life where every night you write down some note, some anecdote, something that stuck out for you. It gives you ideas about things to write about. Use AI as an editor, not a writer: Don't outsource your thinking to AI. Use the tools, understand how to use them, but don't outsource your thinking. It'll spit back something decent, but you don't want to outsource your thinking, especially as a leader. Reflection Questions Nick says your first party should be for neighbors, school parents, and LinkedIn connections you haven't seen in a while (not your most impressive contacts). Who are 15-20 people in your life that fall into this "comfortable but haven't connected recently" category that you could invite to a simple cocktail party?   He emphasizes "add value before you take value" and never says "I'd love to pick your brain." Think about someone you want to connect with. What's one specific way you could add value to them first before asking for anything in return?   Nick hosts events once a quarter to keep weak ties warm instead of trying to have individual coffee meetings with everyone. What's one relationship-building activity you're currently doing inefficiently that could be replaced with a group gathering?

Sander Schulhoff is an AI researcher specializing in AI security, prompt injection, and red teaming. He wrote the first comprehensive guide on prompt engineering and ran the first-ever prompt injection competition, working with top AI labs and companies. His dataset is now used by Fortune 500 companies to benchmark their AI systems security, he's spent more time than anyone alive studying how attackers break AI systems, and what he's found isn't reassuring: the guardrails companies are buying don't actually work, and we've been lucky we haven't seen more harm so far, only because AI agents aren't capable enough yet to do real damage.We discuss:1. The difference between jailbreaking and prompt injection attacks on AI systems2. Why AI guardrails don't work3. Why we haven't seen major AI security incidents yet (but soon will)4. Why AI browser agents are vulnerable to hidden attacks embedded in webpages5. The practical steps organizations should take instead of buying ineffective security tools6.

In this Season 14 review (Part 3) Andrea revisits key insights from Dr. Shane Creado on the critical link between sleep, concussions and performance. The episode explains how even mild or repeated head impacts and sleep deprivation damage the same brain regions that support learning, memory, decision-making and emotional regulation, and how one all‑nighter can reduce hippocampal learning capacity by around 40%. Practical takeaways include treating sleep as neurological recovery (7–9 hours), protecting the brain after head jolts, avoiding late alcohol and screens, and prioritizing consistent sleep routines to restore learning, resilience and long‑term brain health for athletes, students and professionals. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. As we are nearing the end of Season 14 here, it has been about reflection as we have looked back and reviewed past interviews. Our goal has not been about nostalgia, or remembering these interviews, the goal has been about integrating what we have learned. Taking what we know, aligning it with how the brain actually functions, and applying it consistently enough to change outcomes. And if there's one thing this season has reinforced, it's this: Sustainable success isn't built on intensity or focus alone—it's built on alignment. As we move into what's next, (Season 15) the focus shifts from understanding this alignment to bringing this alignment into a tangible, physical form, or embodiment. Not more information—but better execution. After hundreds of conversations with neuroscientists, educators, peak performers, and thought leaders, one truth keeps resurfacing— lasting success is never about doing more. It's about alignment. Alignment between how the brain actually works, how emotions drive behavior, and how daily habits compound over time. Season 14 has been about stepping back—not to reminisce, but to integrate what we have learned into our current life. I knew the minute that I was sent a couple of video clips from our past episodes, that I had forgotten about, that while I thought I had implemented the ideas from our past guests, I had some work to go myself. For this reason, we spent Season 14 and will resume with Season 15 next January, reviewing past episodes, with the goal of noticing what we have now aligned, that's bringing us results in our daily life. Core Reflection When we started this podcast 7 years ago, the goal was simple: bridge neuroscience research with practical strategies people could actually use. What I didn't fully appreciate then—what only became clear through repetition, reflection, and real-life application—is that information alone doesn't create change. Understanding the brain doesn't matter if we ignore what to do with the information we release each week: improving our sleep reducing our stress practicing emotional regulation with consistency that actually changes who we are at the core: our identity Season 14 has been about connecting those dots. Listening again to conversations with voices like Dr. John Medina, Dawson Church, Bob Proctor, Dr. John Ratey, Friederike Fabritius, and so many others, one pattern became impossible to ignore: The brain thrives on simplicity, repetition, and finding emotional safety to implement these concepts—not intensity or a quick fix. We will take the time with each interview review to offer ways for all of us to implement the lessons learned, so that when we finish 2026, we will be able to look back, and see where our changes all began. This week, we move onto PART 3 of our review of EP 72[i] with Shane Creado, MD and his book Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes recorded back in July of 2020. ✔ In PART 1[ii], we covered: How strategic napping, morning brain habits, and even the Silva Method all work together to reset your brain, boost performance, and transform your health from the inside out. ✔ In PART 2[iii] we continued with our review, diving a bit deeper into sleep deprivation and its impact of performance (whether you are an athlete, or just someone looking to improve productivity). ✔ PART 3, we will go a bit deeper into the impacts of concussions and brain injuries on our sleep and performance. Let's go back to 2020 and revisit what Dr. Creado had to say about sleep in this last episode of this season.   VIDEO 1 – Click Here to Watch   In the first clip of this episode, with Dr. Creado, he dives into the connection with concussions and sleep. He says, “Most people who have had a concussion end up with sleep problems. It makes a lot of sense when you think about the brain and how it regulates sleep and wakeful cycles and then it gets jarred. But what people don't realize is that even a mild head injury can really damage your brain. Even if you're not officially diagnosed with a concussion, you don't have to lose consciousness to have a concussion. You don't even need to have any symptoms to have your brain injured in some way. And then the little injuries along the way add up over time. So the brain is as soft as butter and in a hard, bony skull. Anything that jars it, even whiplash can cause your brain to be injured. And it accumulates over time. What's interesting is that the same regions of the brain that are most damaged in head injuries are also damaged in sleep deprivation and also alcohol use. The frontal lobes, the temporal lobes and the parietal lobes at the top of the brain.”

October 29, 2025 - Wednesday PM Bible Class   Good evening. In this episode we finish Philippians chapter 1 and move into chapter 2 as part of a quarter-long study of Paul's prison epistles. Recorded as a teaching session, the episode places Paul in Rome under house arrest and highlights the recurring theme of joy throughout Philippians — not as a response to circumstances but as rooted in Christ and his gospel.   The study reviews chapter 1: the joy of prayerful fellowship, purposeful living, and the tension in Paul's heart about living or dying — recognizing that being with Christ would be far better, yet there remains work to do for the church. From verse 27 onward the focus shifts to the “joy of sacrificing self”: the call to let one's conduct be worthy of the gospel, to stand fast in the Spirit, and to strive together in unity despite persecution. Key cross-references (Acts 5 and 1 Peter 4) are used to show how suffering for Christ is portrayed as an honor or gift that leads to deeper joy.   Chapter 2 is emphasized as a direct continuation (note the connective therefore) and underscores unity through humility. Verses 3–4 give the practical formula for unity — do nothing from selfish ambition, esteem others better than yourself, and look out for others' interests. Verses 5–11 present the supreme example: Christ's self-emptying humility, incarnation, obedience to death on a cross, and God's subsequent exaltation of Jesus so that every knee will bow. John 1 and Isaiah/Romans references are used to clarify Christ's deity and lordship.   Practical teachings covered include working out your salvation with fear and trembling while recognizing God works in us, doing all things without complaining or disputing so the church may shine as lights in a crooked generation, and holding fast to the word of life. The episode closes with the joy of working together: Paul's praise for Timothy's proven servant-heart and the story of Epaphroditus, who risked his health for the mission and is to be received with gladness.   Listeners can expect a sermon-style exposition that blends biblical exegesis, pastoral application, and historical context, with repeated calls to unity, humility, perseverance in suffering, and Christ-centered joy.   Duration 42:47

Attitude plays a critical role in the outcomes we achieve in life and in business. In this episode of the I Hate Numbers podcast, we explore how mindset, beliefs, and internal narrative influence decision-making, confidence, and long-term success. A strong mindset shapes behaviour, improves resilience, and supports better business performance. What This Episode Covers In this episode, we look at how our thoughts and internal dialogue drive what we do. We discuss why improving business results is not only about numbers or strategy, but also about how we think about ourselves and our business journey. Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset We explain two major mindset groups—those who believe their ability is fixed, and those who believe ability can develop through effort, coaching, and learning. One mindset restricts progress, and the other encourages improvement, possibility, and stronger results. Why Attitude Shapes Behaviour Attitude drives behaviour. If we believe a task is achievable, we are more likely to push through challenges. If we believe failure defines us, we retreat. We discuss how attitude influences motivation, problem-solving, and decision-making in everyday business operations. Business Confidence and Belief Having confidence in your skills improves communication, price-setting, delegation, and leadership. A negative attitude affects growth, sales, and customer interaction. This episode shows how reframing beliefs can boost performance and reduce anxiety. Emotions and Decision-Making We highlight how emotional states affect business management. Stress and uncertainty can lead to poor decisions or inactivity. Awareness helps build control and better outcomes. Seeing Obstacles as Growth Business comes with setbacks. Mindset determines whether setbacks become learning opportunities or stopping points. A growth attitude promotes resilience and long-term success.

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross gets real about what culture truly is inside an organization. Spoiler alert: it's not your values deck, your company retreats, or the catchphrases painted on your office walls. Culture is what your team experiences—and that starts with leadership. Ross unpacks how the most problematic leadership habits quietly become the blueprint of a company's culture. Through personal insights and actionable advice, this episode challenges leaders to reflect on their behaviors, confront their blind spots, and align their habits with the culture they aspire to create. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. Culture Is Practiced, Not Preached - Culture isn't your onboarding slide deck or a nicely printed poster—it's what your company does every single day. - If you claim a value (e.g. empathy, growth, candor), but your actions contradict it, then it's not part of your real culture. 2. Leadership Habits Define Team Norms - “Your culture is a reflection of your worst leadership habits.” - Leaders unintentionally shape culture through the behaviors and patterns they tolerate or exhibit. 3. The Toxic Impact of Avoidance - Avoiding hard conversations or decision-making can silently simmer into dysfunction. - Leaders need to have the courage to confront their personal weaknesses to positively affect culture. 4. Build Muscle Memory for Better Leadership - If giving feedback or staying focused is hard, start building systems and routines that reinforce those behaviors. - Example: “Pursue the awkward” moments to grow stronger in them. 5. Self-Awareness Is Crucial - Ask critical questions as a leader: Am I consistent? Do I finish what I start? Am I a source of clarity or chaos? - Teams watch leaders' actions more than they listen to their words. Walk matters more than talk. 6. Cultivate Culture by Fixing Yourself First - Introspective leadership is the foundation of thriving workplace culture. - Practical step: Make a list of personal habits that are out of alignment with your company's stated values and strategize ways to improve. 7. Leadership Isn't About Titles - You don't need to be a CEO or founder to lead with intentionality. - Cultural influence can come from any level within an organization—or your life. —

What if the pain, injury or illness you've been carrying isn't just physical… but emotional, energetic, and deeply connected to unprocessed experiences your body is trying to help you move through? Today I'm sitting down with Taylor Cecil, a highly acclaimed holistic movement and peak performance coach. He is a former professional triathlete who has trained extensively at the CHEK Academy and Prague Rehabilitation School, and worked with world champions like Mick Fanning alongside everyday people who just want to feel at home in their bodies again. After personally experiencing chronic back pain for 18 months that sat at an 8 out of 10 daily, I tried everything: physio, chiro, every stretch and strengthening exercise you can imagine. Nothing stuck. Then I met Taylor. In one session, he connected what was happening in my back and pelvis to deeper emotional and energetic imprints … within two weeks of working together, my back pain was completely gone. This conversation isn't your typical wellness episode. This is about understanding that your body is speaking a language, and it's time we learned how to listen. In this episode, we dive into: → The real connection between emotional wounds and physical pain → Why your pain, inflammation, or disease might be your nervous system holding on to unprocessed emotions → How stress, beliefs, and trauma show up as physical symptoms in the body → The patterns that world champion athletes and everyday people share when it comes to healing → How to map your nervous system and understand what state you're in at different times → The three branches of your nervous system: sympathetic, ventral vagus, and dorsal vagus… and what each one means → Why breath is the key carrier of information in the body → Practical daily habits that create true mind-body harmony → How childhood conditioning impacts our ability to feel safe, express needs, and develop self-esteem → Taylor's personal rituals, including his 100-day Tai Chi practice and the "Four Doctors" philosophy About Taylor Cecil: Taylor Cecil is a holistic movement and peak performance coach, former professional triathlete, and founder of Native State on the Gold Coast.

Practical tools to manage stress, set boundaries, and stay sober during the most overwhelming time of year. In this episode, we're talking about why the holiday season is such a perfect storm for stress, exhaustion, and relapse risk — and what actually helps you stay grounded, calm, and sober when everything feels like too much. This isn't about “just don't drink” or powering through with willpower. It's about planning ahead, setting real boundaries, managing your energy, and protecting your sobriety like it actually matters — because it does. These tools are timeless and incredibly relevant right now — especially as we head into the final stretch of the year. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Holiday Stress Isn't the Problem — Lack of Planning Is The holidays don't sneak up on us. They come at the same time every year. When you plan ahead — for your schedule, your energy, and your triggers — you dramatically reduce overwhelm and vulnerability. 2️⃣ Boundaries Are a Sobriety Tool, Not a Personality Flaw Boundaries around time, conversations, commitments, and how long you stay at events aren't selfish — they're how you stay regulated, present, and sober when stress is high. 3️⃣ Rest, Connection, and Support Are Non-Negotiable Sleep deprivation, emotional exhaustion, and isolation make cravings louder. Staying connected to your sober support and refueling your energy keeps you strong when willpower runs out. We're days away from Christmas. If your energy is low and your stress is high, that doesn't mean you're failing — it means it's time to slow down, simplify, and protect what matters most. Take what you learn today and use it. Planning, boundaries, rest, and connection aren't optional extras. They're how sobriety lasts. Links Mentioned in This Episode:

Most debates about the moral status of AI systems circle the same question: is there something that it feels like to be them? But what if that's the wrong question to ask? Andreas Mogensen — a senior researcher in moral philosophy at the University of Oxford — argues that so-called 'phenomenal consciousness' might be neither necessary nor sufficient for a being to deserve moral consideration. Links to learn more and full transcript: https://80k.info/am25For instance, a creature on the sea floor that experiences nothing but faint brightness from the sun might have no moral claim on us, despite being conscious. Meanwhile, any being with real desires that can be fulfilled or not fulfilled can arguably be benefited or harmed. Such beings arguably have a capacity for welfare, which means they might matter morally. And, Andreas argues, desire may not require subjective experience. Desire may need to be backed by positive or negative emotions — but as Andreas explains, there are some reasons to think a being could also have emotions without being conscious. There's another underexplored route to moral patienthood: autonomy. If a being can rationally reflect on its goals and direct its own existence, we might have a moral duty to avoid interfering with its choices — even if it has no capacity for welfare. However, Andreas suspects genuine autonomy might require consciousness after all. To be a rational agent, your beliefs probably need to be justified by something, and conscious experience might be what does the justifying. But even this isn't clear. The upshot? There's a chance we could just be really mistaken about what it would take for an AI to matter morally. And with AI systems potentially proliferating at massive scale, getting this wrong could be among the largest moral errors in history.In today's interview, Andreas and host Zershaaneh Qureshi confront all these confusing ideas, challenging their intuitions about consciousness, welfare, and morality along the way. They also grapple with a few seemingly attractive arguments which share a very unsettling conclusion: that human extinction (or even the extinction of all sentient life) could actually be a morally desirable thing.

Brian breaks down the most misunderstood aspect of Infinite Banking: loan repayments. Why do we pay ourselves back at market rates? What does EVA actually mean? And what happens when you pay yourself more than the insurance company charges?Most people think being their own banker means they can be loose with repayment—skip payments, pay whenever, charge themselves whatever rate feels right. You can, per the contract. But should you? This episode reveals why maintaining market-rate discipline for the full loan duration is what separates wealth builders from people who just talk about IBC. Brian explains where that "extra interest" actually goes, how to decide how much to pay against your loan, and how Parkinson's Law can destroy generational wealth before it ever gets started.Discipline is what builds legacy wealth. Without it, you're just the worst kind of bank: one with no standards, no discipline, and ultimately no capital.00:00 - Opening segment00:40 - Introduction: Why loan repayments trip people up01:30 - Policy loan mechanics: you're not withdrawing, you're borrowing02:10 - Economic Value Added (EVA): the fundamental principle03:05 - Why people go sideways: thinking interest doesn't matter03:30 - Nelson Nash's recommendation: pay market rates for full duration04:40 - What "market rates" actually means05:20 - Maintaining discipline that creates wealth06:30 - The $30K car loan example at 5% over 5 years07:25 - Where does the extra interest go when you pay yourself more?08:30 - The insurance company doesn't care what rate you calculate09:30 - Should you keep paying after the loan is satisfied early?11:00 - Where most people sabotage themselves: the early payoff trap11:30 - Parkinson's Law: expenses rise to meet income12:50 - What to do when your PUAs are maxed out14:00 - Capital deployment vs. consumption: know the difference14:20 - Parkinson's Law destroys generational wealth16:00 - The temptation to "save on interest" (you're paying yourself)17:00 - "But I can make more investing elsewhere" - the speculation trap18:10 - IBC isn't about loopholes, it's about discipline19:10 - Practical implementation: set up auto-pay, treat it like any loan19:40 - The $40K truck example: paying 7% when insurance charges 5%22:30 - Decision tree when your policy is truly maxed26:15 - Income doesn't equal wealth: the $500K pilot who's broke27:00 - The $80K family building dynastic wealth28:40 - Final recap: market rates, full duration, have a plan30:00 - EVA: every loan should create value, every payment should build30:45 - If your practitioner says rates don't matter, run31:20 - The Moody Family Creed and how it applies here31:50 - Closing thoughtsEconomic Value Added (EVA): The fundamental question: did the thing you financed produce more value than the loan cost you? Borrow at 5%, asset returns 8% = positive EVA. Borrow at 5%, thing depreciates = negative EVA.Pay Yourself Market Rates: Nelson Nash recommended paying loans back at market rates or higher— at least what you'd pay elsewhere for similar financing. This maintains the discipline that creates wealth.The Full Duration Principle: Even if you pay a loan off early by using higher interest rates, keep making those payments for the full original term. A 5-year loan means 5 years of payments to your system. The Early Payoff Trap: This is where most people sabotage themselves.

From Swiss banker to international bestselling author, Nathalie Botros shares how choosing self-love over external success became the catalyst for a life and business rooted in joy, authenticity, and impact.In this episode, I sit down with Nathalie Botros, known globally as The Bon Vivant Girl and a powerful Happiness Activator. Nathalie is an author, psychotherapist, mindset architect, and the Executive Editor of Ageless Living Magazine, where she curates stories that celebrate unapologetic living at every age. Our conversation begins with the magic of being together in person and the energy of women truly supporting women, not transactionally, but from a genuine place of “how can I help you.”Nathalie opens up about the pivotal moments that reshaped her life, from leaving a prestigious banking career in Switzerland to searching for fulfillment through fashion, success, and external validation. Despite checking all the “achievement” boxes, she found herself deeply unhappy. That awakening led her inward, where she began dismantling perfectionism, diet culture, and self-criticism, and replacing them with radical self-love. One simple mirror practice changed everything, transforming not only how she saw herself but how the world responded to her.We dive into the science of happiness, the myths women are conditioned to believe, and why self-love is the foundation of confident leadership, healthy relationships, and sustainable success. Nathalie also shares powerful insights for women entrepreneurs: why authenticity fuels growth, how setting boundaries protects your business, and why saying no, especially to unpaid labor, is an act of leadership, not selfishness.This episode is a reminder that true success means building a life where joy, impact, and alignment coexist. Nathalie's story will inspire you to stop chasing validation and start leading from a place of love, clarity, and self-worth. Tune in and let this conversation reset how you live, love, and lead.Chapters

Attorney Sara Papantonio joins host Mirena Umizaj Dumas for a candid conversation about what mass tort work truly demands. From long timelines and real risk to the relationships that ultimately determine outcomes, Sara shares how she found her path into mass torts, what it has been like building her own name while working alongside her father, Mike Papantonio, and what she learned stepping into an eight-week talc trial on short notice that resulted in a major plaintiff verdict. They also discuss how firms should think about entering and navigating the mass tort landscape, the importance of understanding the "rules of the game," why diversification matters, and how pressure points across MDL and state court strategies shape outcomes. Throughout the conversation, Sara and Mirena emphasize the role of judgment, partnership, and long-term thinking, as well as how technology and AI are being used to support, not replace, thoughtful legal work. Key Topics Covered: • Why mass torts require a long-term, 7–10 year mindset • The unwritten rules of the mass tort space and why firms get burned • How to evaluate risk, partnerships, and involvement level before entering a case • MDL versus state court strategies and where real pressure is applied • The value of a fresh perspective in trial storytelling and jury communication • Recruiting, developing, and retaining young plaintiff-side talent • Practical ways technology and AI are improving efficiency without replacing judgment About Our Guest: Sara Papantonio is an attorney at Levin Papantonio, where she focuses her practice on mass tort litigation. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Political Science and Journalism from the University of North Carolina and her Juris Doctor from Stetson University College of Law in 2020, graduating cum laude. Sara litigates pharmaceutical, environmental, mass tort, and personal injury cases nationwide and has significant federal court experience as an active member of multiple mass tort litigation teams.

The incarnation is one of the most familiar doctrines in Christianity—and yet one of the most overlooked. This week, Dr. John Snyder is joined again by Jordan Thomas to slow down, look closely, and recover the awe that Scripture invites us to feel as we consider the eternal Son taking on human flesh. Last week they walked through key biblical passages on the incarnation. This week they turn to the profound reflections of Isaac Ambrose in his classic work “Looking Unto Jesus.” The book can be difficult to find today, but we've linked an ebook edition and a print-on-demand copy in the show notes. You can also monitor the Reformation Heritage Books website and sign up for updates when it comes back into print. Ambrose is deeply helpful here because he lifts our eyes to the person of Christ Himself—and to all the benefits that flow from Him into the life of every believer. As we move through this Advent season and fix our hearts on the incarnate Christ, we pray that this episode—and the timeless insights of Isaac Ambrose—will strengthen your faith and warm your soul.

In Episode 99 of the Digital Velocity Podcast, Erik Martinez sits down with Chris Seminatore, founder of GetGeofencing.com, to unpack how location-based targeting can help brands stop wasting budget and start reaching the people most likely to buy. As Chris puts it, "Location is the strongest indicator of buying intent." For direct-to-consumer teams without a retail footprint, the key shift is thinking about location as a signal—not a storefront. Instead of geofencing "your" locations, you can target the places where your best customers already reveal intent: brick and mortar competitor locations, industry events and trade shows, and life-style locations that align with your customer's persona. In this conversation, you'll learn: ·         How geofencing works in plain English—and why it's best used to narrow your audience to the moments that matter most. ·         Practical ways DTC brands can apply the same playbook across industries, even without physical stores of their own. ·         Why "addressable geofencing" can be a powerful CRM companion: layer location targeting onto a direct mail or customer list to reinforce messaging across channels. ·         How to use events and trade shows as a DTC growth lever by capturing attendees and continuing to reach them after they leave. ·         What to watch for in programmatic so your spend doesn't disappear into low-value placements (and how Chris approaches blocking common sources of waste). If you're a DTC marketer, brand leader, or agency strategist looking for smarter signals to find more customers, this episode offers a clear, practical framework for using location to reduce waste, increase relevance, and improve performance.
