The Smallest Differences That Expert Salespeople Have Mastered

All these conversations about people using AI chat bots as therapists got us thinking.

Student Loan Horror Story: A viral video highlights a 26-year-old with $90,000 in student debt paying a staggering 17% interest rate—and after years of $1,500/month payments, she owes more than the original amount. Student loan debt in the U.S. has exploded, rising from $187 billion to $1.4 trillion since 1990, while college costs are up 420%, but starting wages for graduates have only risen about 10% in the same timeframe—barely keeping up with inflation. College: Value, Costs & Alternatives: While college can still offer social, networking, and life-skill advantages, its economic ROI is often questionable unless required for a licensed profession (medicine, law, etc). Travis advocates for apprenticeships, gap years, internships, and real-world experience as superior options for most young people—letting them earn, learn, and avoid or minimize debt. He notes how much of the “go to college” push comes from outdated beliefs, social status games, and pressure from parents seeking legacy or community standing—not just from what's actually best for the student in today's economy. Why “Predatory Lending” Applies: Most 17-year-olds can't get a credit card, but can sign up for tens of thousands in college debt—often without understanding interest or repayment terms. Student debt is uniquely punishing: it cannot be discharged in bankruptcy, and high rates or compound interest can quickly balloon balances, trapping young adults for decades. Practical Advice for Young People & Parents: Parents should help teens be ruthlessly honest about risk, debt, and career clarity before co-signing on massive loans. Young people should: Take a gap year to try different jobs or internships Only consider college if a) the cost is manageable or b) a clear career path requires a degree Use tools like ChatGPT or simple calculators to run interest/amortization scenarios—understand full cost of loans. Seek real-world exposure in target fields before committing—many adults end up not using their major, making huge debts even less justifiable. Big Takeaway: The “American college pathway” is no longer one-size-fits-all. Life is long—choosing work experience, entrepreneurship, trades, or even pausing before college are often smarter risk/reward bets than saddling yourself with unpayable debt. Recommended Actions: Don't take college-for-college's-sake advice—research outcomes, run the numbers, and weigh costs. Talk openly with teens about status, debt, and future regrets. Use this episode and viral cautionary tales as starting points for family conversations before borrowing.

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis and Kevin dive deep into the complexities of ketamine, exploring its pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and practical applications in emergency medicine. They discuss the drug's disassociative properties, its analgesic effects, and the importance of individualized dosing based on patient physiology. The conversation also touches on the risks of catecholamine depletion and the management of side effects, particularly in trauma patients. Throughout the discussion, Kevin shares valuable insights and practical advice for medics and healthcare professionals using ketamine in real-life scenarios.TakeawaysKetamine is an NMDA receptor antagonist with various effects on the body.It can cause profound analgesia and disassociation at different doses.S-ketamine is preferred for its more intense analgesic effects and quicker recovery.Dosing should be individualized based on patient condition and physiology.Ketamine can lead to catecholamine depletion, especially in trauma patients.Smaller doses are safer for patients with compromised vital signs.Analgesic effects can be achieved without full disassociation at lower doses.Managing side effects is crucial, especially in the 'party zone' of ketamine use.Always have a plan for potential complications when using ketamine.Refer to clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for best practices.Chapters00:00 Understanding Ketamine: Basics and Mechanisms09:17 Pharmacokinetics of Ketamine: How It Works15:58 Dosing Ketamine: Individualized Approaches25:23 Analgesic Properties of Ketamine: Beyond Disassociation31:39 Managing Side Effects: The Party Zone and Hallucinations39:19 Catecholamine Depletion: Risks and Considerations43:05 Practical Advice for Medics: Using Ketamine SafelyFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care

While other speakers were bragging about their 6,000% growth stats, I chose to focus on something way more important—how to actually sustain your content creation without burning out. And apparently, that's exactly what people desperately needed to hear.But the biggest plot twist? The most valuable moment of the entire conference wasn't even part of the official programming. Someone told me I had "the best reputation in the industry," and it got me thinking about what really matters in this business. Spoiler alert: it's not your download numbers.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by all the "grow your podcast to six figures" advice floating around, this episode is for you.

What does it take to start over in a new place? The Stern siblings—Yakov (10), Rina (8), and Toby (5)—know firsthand, having just moved from Miami Beach, Florida to Manchester, New Jersey less than a week before our conversation. Their honest reflections reveal the complex emotions of leaving behind everything familiar: excitement about living closer to extended family, sadness about missing friends, and nervousness about fitting in at a new school.Each child approaches this transition differently. Yakov proactively seeks out future classmates, gathering intelligence about his new school. Rina worries about being included in games and conversations. Toby packed a framed photo of her and her friend to keep memories close. Their differing approaches remind us that personality, age, and individual resilience all shape how children navigate life changes.Social worker Avi Kohn, LMSW offers transformative wisdom about transitions, introducing the crucial distinction between confidence and courage. "Confidence comes from experience," he explains, "but courage is what we call upon when we have no confidence yet." This powerful framework helps children understand that feeling uncertain doesn't mean they're doing something wrong—it means they're facing a situation that requires bravery rather than prior experience.Rabbi Kohn shares practical strategies for both newcomers and those welcoming them. For new children: take initiative rather than waiting for others, be prepared for adjustment to take months rather than days, and respond to potential unkindness with kindness. For welcoming students: remember the mitzvah of being kind to newcomers, recognize that small acts of inclusion can have lasting impacts, and understand that differences may initially feel scary but offer opportunities for growth.Whether your child is starting kindergarten, moving to a new community, or joining a new activity, this episode provides the emotional vocabulary and practical tools to transform challenging transitions into opportunities for developing resilience.

AI isn't killing design. It's reminding us what design really is. In this episode, we talk about the illusion of control, why designers often feel powerless, and how the real work has always been about making meaning and managing systems, not just making screens.What if AI isn't changing design at all, but finally showing us what design has really been about this whole time?It's tempting to think AI is rewriting the rules of design. But maybe the truth is simpler: it's exposing what design was always about.In this conversation with Dennis Lenard, founder of Creative Navy, we explore how AI is pushing designers to confront the illusion of control, the limits of pixel pushing, and the bigger role of meaning-making. Dennis brings over 20 years of experience working in UX, teaching design, and writing on interface design for high-stakes industries like healthcare. His perspective? The anxieties we're feeling aren't new; they're just harder to ignore now.We cover why prioritization matters more than production, why empathy should extend to your team as much as your users, and how to reframe design as managing the system, not just the interface. If you've ever felt like AI is destabilizing your role, this episode will help you see it as a mirror, not a threat.Topics:• 04:16 – The Impact of AI on Design• 08:11 – Navigating Control and Anxiety in Design• 15:13 – Redefining Design Roles and Responsibilities• 31:44 – Building Relationships and Empathy in Teams• 37:21 – Leveraging AI for Designer's Advantage• 38:10 – The Double Diamond Model in Design• 38:27 – The Importance of Designing the Right Thing• 38:36 – AI's Role in Design and Prioritization• 40:29 – Human Empathy vs. AI in User Experience• 42:27 – The Impact of Design in High-Stakes Industries• 43:32 – Adapting Design Processes for Different Industries• 44:30 – The Importance of Research and Critical Thinking• 47:16 – Navigating Ambiguity and Focusing on Controllable Elements• 47:50 – Practical Advice for Designers• 58:07 – The Value of Attention and Continuous ImprovementHelpful Links:• Connect with Dennis on LinkedIn—Thanks for listening!

What if your backyard could pay your bills? That's exactly what happened for Jen Reelitz. What started as a simple love for planting fruit trees turned into tours, plant sales, and eventually a full-time business that replaced her income in just six months. In this episode, Jen opens up about the leap from a decade-long nonprofit job into entrepreneurship, the surprising demand for food forests, and why she believes perennials are the secret weapon for low-maintenance abundance. We also get into life as a mom of three boys, what it looks like to balance faith and business, and even take a detour into the kitchen for some guacamole and mango salsa.

Josh Molina is the co‑founder and CEO of Makers & Finders, founder of Take It Easy Roasters, and a first‑generation Colombian‑American entrepreneur who's generated over $30M in lifetime sales. With 100+ employees and multiple Las Vegas locations, Josh has built beloved food & coffee brands from scratch while also mentoring students and supporting community nonprofits. Lessons & Practical Advice for Aspiring Café Owners: Be endlessly curious. Call the planning, building, and fire departments before you sign anything — learn the build‑out hurdles and code requirements. Mind the capital needs. A proper commercial kitchen hood and grease trap can run $80–100K alone. Save aggressively and protect your credit so you can bring capital to the table. Right‑size your space. Start smaller than you think; lower costs and keep it feeling full. Start small & build presence. Consider a coffee cart/truck or popup to prove your concept and audience before a full‑scale lease. Adapt to your market. Each neighborhood has distinct customer behavior — don't assume what works in one location will in another. Top 3 Takeaways: Niche + Experience = Differentiation: Pairing underrepresented cuisine with a service model Vegas didn't have created a clear market position. Location choice is strategy, not luck: Cheap rent in an up‑and‑coming area gave room to survive the early years and grow with the neighborhood. Systems before scaling: You can add locations faster than you can add process — but you'll regret it if you do. Connect with Josh Molina: Makers & Finders: makerslv.com

The Male Female Dynamic Right Now Is... Weird

Draw The Line, Gentlemen

From homes to health care, you and I need to advocate for yourself. You have choices and you have power. You can take action and you do have choices.    My Guest: Karen Mulroy is an attorney who retired at age 62 without regret to spend quality time with her parents until their death at the ages of 97 and 98. They passed away within 4 months of each other, followed by the death of her former husband, with whom she maintained a close relationship. She has navigated the challenges, rewards and emotional aftermath of caring for loved ones through their final moments.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:06:13] What is your background and life experience? [00:08:52] What were your challenges and rewards of caring for aging loved ones? [00:18:55] What is your advocacy for aging loved ones? [00:39:00] Do you have any tips to redefine and reclaim life after loss? [00:35:04] Any other tips for midlife and older women about how to advocate for yourself?   Practical Advice for Non-Lawyers: Steps for dealing with home or health issues: Make a record Take pictures/videos Get expert opinions Escalate reasonably   You don't need to “lawyer up” immediately—just document and ask respectfully. It's important to ask questions, trust your gut, and speak up—especially when others can't.   Key Takeaways Being an advocate starts with asking questions. You don't have to be a lawyer to advocate effectively. Documentation, curiosity, and assertiveness help. Even intelligent, experienced people can fall into denial. Advocacy requires persistence and compassion. End-of-life care should align with the patient's values. Knowing and honoring their wishes is crucial. You have more power than you think—use it wisely. Especially with institutions like healthcare or builders. Support systems matter. Having another person to back your advocacy—like a nurse practitioner in the family—can amplify your voice.   You Have More Power Than You Think — Advocate for Yourself   Connect with Karen: Instagram - @earthdogs3 Questions and Consultation - mlsmulroy@icloud.com    Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - How Mold Toxicity Affects Hormonal Balance During Menopause And Effective Detox Strategies Next Episode - Take Up Space: A Perimenopause BodyBuilder on Her Strength Journey More Like This - Workplace Menopause Rights: What Women (and Employers) Need to Know   Resources: Join the Hot, Not Bothered!
