2026 Is Going To Be A DISASTER For Most Realtors

7 Destructive Habits To Drop For 2026

#390 In this episode, Guy welcomes back former theoretical physicist David Clements who now bridges consciousness, science, and the spiritual realm. They discuss the ongoing powerful evolutionary waves that started on December 4th and are designed to uplift planetary systems including our solar system. David shared detailed insights into the Arcturian and inner earth beings facilitating these changes and emphasizes the importance of connecting with one's heart intelligence. They explore practical aspects of maintaining high energy levels, the eventual collapse of outdated systems, and the broader cosmic implications of these shifts. The discussion also touches on his personal journey from a scientific to a spiritual perspective, and how humanity can best prepare for and embrace these transformative times. About Dr. David: In my early days, I began as an artist, spending most of my time dreaming and imagining beyond the reality I was living in. Which later, after a doorinside me opened, allowed me to develop a deep intuitive insight into the conscious quantum nature of reality. But before this fully opened, I was propelled into, and became, a professional theoretical physicist, working in string theory (a theory of subatomic particles and multi-dimensional spaces) as well as advanced theories of electromagnetism in some of the world's leading and prestigious academic institutions such as Cambridge and Oxford Universities. I left this profession because the opening within had revealed to me a very different view of the living conscious nature of quantum reality, a far distance from the mathematical and structured world I had learnt to work in.My conscious awakening, and connection with the higher aspects of myself began just after the year 2000, when I learned to view remotely. From here, my intuition and energetic senses came alive in ways I never before imagined possible. From here, I began a deep journey, moving into, and becoming more heart centered. Unravelling the many layers of past and current life aspects within myself to gain more connection to the Creative Source field consciousnes of love and my whole Self. In doing so, I was given deeper insights into the workings of realities, as well as inspirations for innovations and ideas, that it is my heart felt joy to share with others.

We're Living In The BEST Era To Make Money and Build Something

As the holiday season sweeps through the Valley, host Janet Michael welcomes Captain Warren Gosnell of the Frederick County Sheriff's Office into the studio for a lively yet sobering episode of "The Valley Today." Their conversation, peppered with humor and personal anecdotes, dives deep into the realities of holiday travel, the temptations of modern technology, and the life-altering consequences of impaired driving. From Laughter to Lessons Janet and Goz kick off the episode with playful banter about live radio mishaps and the quirks of hosting. However, the tone quickly shifts as they reflect on the unique pressures and risks that come with the holidays. With families rushing from one gathering to another, the roads become a stage for both joyful reunions and potential tragedy. Goz shares stories from his own life, including the loss of family members to traffic accidents, underscoring the very real dangers that can lurk behind the wheel. The Technology Trap Transitioning to the role of technology, Janet confesses her own struggles as a concerned parent, debating whether to use Apple AirTags to track her adult son for his safety. This lighthearted exchange opens a broader discussion about privacy, responsibility, and the ways technology can both help and hinder our efforts to keep loved ones safe. Goz reminds listeners that, while tools like GPS and cell phones offer peace of mind, they are no substitute for honest conversations and personal accountability. Holiday Hazards and the Ripple Effect As the conversation unfolds, the duo addresses the spike in impaired driving during the festive season. Goz details the excuses he's heard from drivers—ranging from forgotten macaroni salad to tight holiday schedules—and dismantles the myths that often justify risky behavior. He emphasizes that the consequences of a single poor decision can ripple outward, affecting not just the driver but entire families and communities. Janet echoes this sentiment, recalling the emotional toll of delivering bad news to loved ones during what should be a joyful time. Practical Advice for a Safer Season Throughout the episode, both host and guest offer practical tips for listeners: plan your routes, arrange for designated drivers, and take advantage of free ride services offered by local businesses and organizations. They stress that celebrating responsibly is not just about avoiding legal trouble—it's about protecting lives and preserving the spirit of the season. A Call to Action As the show draws to a close, Janet and Goz return to their central message: everyone has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but no one has the right to endanger others on the road. Their candid conversation serves as a timely reminder that the choices we make—especially during the holidays—can have lasting impacts. With warmth, wit, and wisdom, they urge listeners to prioritize safety, cherish their loved ones, and enter the new year with a renewed commitment to community well-being.

Episode Summary: In this insightful episode, Jean sits on the other side of the mic for a change, exploring what it truly means to feel lost, stuck, or pressured to "figure things out." Through a thoughtful interview, Jean explains the critical difference between acceptance and orientation, and why this distinction matters more than ever for those navigating change, confusion, or uncertainty. Key Topics Discussed: Misunderstanding "Lostness": Jean reframes feeling lost as a natural reorganization process rather than a personal failure, describing it as an "interruption, not a breakdown." The Difference Between Acceptance and Orientation: Acceptance is often psychological—resignation or lowered expectations—while orientation is about honestly locating yourself in the present, enabling real movement and change. Orientation Isn't Stopping: Orientation restores capacity and balance. What may look passive from the outside is actually your nervous system finally catching up with reality, ending forced or pressured movements. The Dance Analogy: Drawing on movement and dance, Jean explains why completing your current "step" is necessary before a new direction can be found—otherwise, you lose balance and clarity. Microcoherence in Practice: Instead of demanding grand clarity or a five-year plan, microcoherence asks, "What feels slightly more supportive right now?" Small, honest preferences create a pattern—that's your new direction. Why Forcing a Long-Term Plan Backfires: Pushing for clarity during times of disorientation just creates more pressure and instability. Orientation happens in "completion time"—the internal process can't be rushed. When Direction Returns: Real direction doesn't hit like lightning. It feels like relief, a gentle gravity as certain paths quietly fall away. You won't need to justify it—it's self-contained. The Map Appears Under Your Feet: Direction doesn't live in the future. Orientation invites you to fully arrive where you are, revealing new paths naturally. Practical Advice for Listeners: If you feel lost, stop forcing clarity. Instead, notice what you can no longer pretend about, let the current step finish, and trust that this gentle process is your integrity returning—not regression. Resource Mentioned: Story Signal (Free App): Jean introduces Story Signal, an app designed to help users recognize their current state and facilitate authentic orientation, without the pressure to force movement. https://storysignal.app Takeaways: Being lost isn't a personal crisis—it's your system seeking realignment. Orientation is honest self-location, not resignation or passivity. True direction emerges naturally, one small step at a time, when you honor the completion of each moment.

The Voice In Your Head Is Destroying You... Slowly

Welcome back to the College Essay Guy Podcast. Today's episode is hosted by Tom Campbell, Community Manager & Senior Essay Specialist at College Essay Guy and a former admission officer at Pomona College and Holy Cross. We've polled the thousands of students who participate in our live webinars and courses and ask what they're favorite subject is, and consistently, STEM reigns supreme. By a lot. In this episode, Tom sits down with Jay Zhang, college counselor at College Essay Guy, to dig into the biggest questions students and families have about preparing for and applying to STEM programs. Together, they explore: What students should know about STEM coursework, rigor, and testing—and where there's more flexibility than most people realize How to think about majors, specialization, and which colleges to consider beyond the usual short list Common STEM student archetypes, including late starters, students unsure which direction to take, those in high-pressure STEM "bubbles," and students worried that elite summer programs are the only path forward And more.  Jay Zhang holds a B.S. in Microbiology from UCLA and an M.A. in School Counseling from NYU, and he's spent over a decade helping STEM students navigate selective admissions—especially within the UC system. He's also a former UCLA scholarship reader and interviewer, so he's seen exactly what works. Jay brings a strength-based, big-picture approach to STEM planning—and when he's not counseling students, you'll probably find him hiking at Crystal Cove or driving all the way from Orange County to LA for his haircut (hey, clearly, this is a man who knows his priorities). We hope you enjoy the episode.    Play-by-Play: 2:14 – What are some early memories of Jay and Tom learning STEM in school?  5:44 – Jay shares his background and where he grew up   7:55 – What are some high school courses that students interested in STEM could plan to take?  11:33 – What should STEM students know about standardized testing? 14:33 – How can students better understand different STEM pathways and majors?  17:55 – What are some lesser-known colleges or programs that students could explore?  24:03 – What are some strategies for broadening a student's college list? 30:01 – How can students balance prestige with selectivity and other factors that are important to them in finding the right fit? 32:46 – How can students explore diverse interests in STEM? 38:52 – What can high school juniors and seniors  do to show interest in STEM if they're just getting started? 46:11 – What helps students in competitive STEM "bubbles" move beyond comparison culture? 50:26 – How can students build on personal experiences that spark their interest in STEM? 53:30 – How important are prestigious summer programs for students interested in STEM? 59:25 – Closing thoughts   Resources: Firestarter Exercise What is STEM?

In this special episode of the CineD FocusCheck Podcast, host Nino welcomes back filmmaker, educator, and author Tal Lazar for a wide-ranging conversation about what cinematography really is — and what it needs to become in an age of rapidly evolving technology. Tal's new book, Cinematography: Beyond Technique, challenges a long-standing assumption in filmmaking: that mastering cameras, lenses, and lighting is enough. Drawing on over 15 years of teaching at institutions such as AFI, Sundance, and FilmLab, Tal argues that cinematography lives in the space between intention and execution — not in technology itself. Together, Nino and Tal explore: Why great images don't automatically make great films How directors and cinematographers often talk past each other on set What blocking rehearsals reveal about hidden gaps in film education Why lenses, lighting, and framing are storytelling tools — not technical checklists And how AI forces filmmakers to re-examine creative intention, not just workflow The conversation also tackles one of today's most controversial topics: AI in filmmaking. Referencing recent statements by Roger Deakins and drawing parallels to the Canon 5D revolution, Tal explains why resisting new tools outright is rarely productive — but why giving up creative intention is far more dangerous. This episode is not about choosing sides between “traditional” and “modern” filmmaking. It's about understanding the language of images deeply enough to make deliberate, meaningful choices — regardless of the tools involved. Whether you're a director, cinematographer, producer, or educator, this episode offers a thoughtful, practical perspective on collaboration, visual storytelling, and the future of the craft. Chapters and Articles in This Episode (00:00:57) – Welcome & Introduction Nino welcomes viewers to the special episode and introduces Tal Lazar and the topic of his new book. (00:02:06) – Tal Lazar, Cinematography Beyond Technique & Teaching Background Tal's background as a filmmaker and educator and how the book grew out of 15 years of teaching. (00:05:35) – Visual Storytelling, “The Reading,” and Cinematic Intention Using painting and visual examples to explain how audiences identify story and main characters. (00:09:02) – What Makes a Great Cinematographer Technical skill, clarity of intention, communication, and common misunderstandings on set. (00:14:13) – Directors, DPs, and Collaboration on Set Blocking rehearsals, overlapping responsibilities, and why collaboration improves films. (00:20:45) – How Directors and Cinematographers Should Communicate What productive creative conversations sound like versus ineffective ones. (00:25:31) – Lighting and Lenses as Storytelling Tools Lighting as observation and language; lenses, perspective, intimacy, and emotional distance. (00:38:19) – AI, Roger Deakins, and Creative Intention AI as a tool versus a threat, and what reactions reveal about how cinematography is understood. (00:49:45) – Lessons from the Canon 5D Era & the Future of AI Parallels between past camera revolutions and today's AI-driven changes. (01:13:51) – Practical Advice & Key Takeaways How filmmakers should embrace technology without sacrificing intention; final thoughts and wrap-up. We hope you enjoyed this episode!

I'm Leaving Miami

California Agriculture and the Central Valley Elaine Culotti, known as the “Lipstick Farmer,” joins AgNet News Hour to discuss the state of California agriculture and the Central Valley. She highlights the challenges facing farmers, including heavy bureaucracy, regulatory red tape, and mismanaged funds, which threaten both infrastructure and agricultural innovation. Culotti emphasizes that young farmers, regenerative agriculture initiatives, and advanced farming technology depend on a more efficient, supportive system. The Central Valley, she argues, is California's most valuable agricultural asset and should be treated as such. The High-Speed Rail Opportunity Culotti addresses the California high-speed rail project, criticizing political delays and bureaucratic inefficiency. She stresses that competent contractors, federal and state funding, and fair compensation for affected farmers are crucial for completing the project. Beyond transportation, she sees the rail as a lifeline that could connect Los Angeles, San Francisco, and the Central Valley, while reducing traffic congestion, supporting sustainable economic growth, and creating opportunities for young innovators and farmers. Supporting Local Economies A major focus of Culotti's discussion is economic development and local revenue. She advocates returning sales tax to the towns where purchases are made, supporting small businesses, and empowering local communities. By ensuring towns keep this revenue, she argues, California can strengthen cities and reduce dependence on Sacramento, which often prioritizes large special interests over local needs. Preparing for the 2026 Elections Culotti encourages Californians to consider centrist candidates in the 2026 elections, emphasizing those not influenced by PACs or special interests. She calls for leaders who offer practical solutions, including better management of labor, water, and infrastructure. Culotti also urges professionals with expertise in law, education, insurance, and economic development to step into public service, helping rebuild an accountable, effective government. Practical Advice for Farmers Culotti provides actionable strategies for California farmers: Adopt regenerative agriculture and modern farming equipment. Improve post-harvest soil health using humates to conserve water and nutrients. Protect crops with fungicides like Marivon to ensure resilience against frost and disease. Address labor shortages through legal work permits and fair immigration policies. Citizen Engagement and Accountability Culotti stresses the importance of citizen engagement. With millions of taxpayers funding a system that often fails to serve local communities, she encourages Californians to hold government accountable and contribute expertise wherever possible. By supporting infrastructure, electing competent leaders, and promoting local economic growth, residents can help make California sustainable and prosperous. Listen to the Full Episode: Hear the full interview with Elaine Culotti on the AgNet News Hour podcast to learn more about California agriculture, infrastructure solutions, and political reform.

The Struggle Makes It Sweet

Most Women Are Mesmerized By Men With Status

Psychotherapist and author Leah Marone joins Mark for a grounded conversation about why so many of us fall into the trap of overfunctioning for others. Leah, whose new book Serial Fixer explores this exact pattern, explains how emotional mirroring and urgency cycles show up in families, friendships, and clinical environments. She walks through the patterns she sees when people try to rescue or fix someone who is struggling and why that well intentioned approach often fuels more chaos rather than growth.Leah introduces practical indicators that boundaries are slipping, including resentment and repetitive conversations where nothing changes. She breaks down what serial fixing looks like in real time, how quickly we jump into problem solving to relieve our own discomfort, and why validation is the missing skill that keeps ownership where it belongs.She also explains her framework of support not solve, a mindset that helps clinicians, caregivers, and families shift away from codependency and toward healthier relational dynamics. Through relatable examples, Leah teaches how to use I statements, strengthen self trust, and approach hard conversations with clarity rather than guilt.This episode gives listeners concrete tools to stop taking responsibility for what is not theirs, communicate boundaries with confidence, and build more sustainable, compassionate relationships in their personal lives and in healthcare.Leah C Marone, LCSW Website : https://www.serial-fixer.com/TedTalk : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVBjI4tNv3sEpisode Takeaways Self Care Is Not a Spa Day- Real self care is a series of small resets throughout the day that regulate your nervous system.Fixing Others Creates More Chaos- Trying to solve someone's problems for them often fuels dependency and resentment.Resentment Signals a Boundary Problem- When irritation grows, it usually means you have taken on work that is not yours.Validation Beats Problem Solving- People calm down when they feel understood, not when they receive rapid fire solutions.I Statements Keep Conversations Safe- Replacing “you always” with “I feel” prevents defensiveness and keeps dialogue open.Urgency Is Often Self Imposed- Feeling responsible for everyone's comfort pushes you into overfunctioning and emotional burnout.Self Trust Requires Reps- Boundaries get easier through practice, not perfection, and discomfort is part of the growth curve.Micro Transitions Change Your Day- Short pauses between tasks help reset your focus and reduce the compounding stress that builds across a busy day.Episode Timestamps03:58 – Meeting the Inner Critic: Why We Judge Ourselves So Harshly05:16 – Realizing People Are Not Thinking About You as Much as You Think24:18 – Why Fixing Others Fails and How to Shift the Pattern25:50 – Boundaries Require Reps: Getting Comfortable With Discomfort28:28 – The Danger of “You” Statements and How They Trigger Defensiveness32:19 – The Hidden Crisis in Medicine: Shell Culture and Silent Burnout33:23 – What Self Care Really Means: Internal Conflict and Rigid Beliefs35:40 – Micro Transitions: How Small Daily Moments Can Reset Your Nervous SystemDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Under The Right Circumstances.. A LOT of Women Will Risk EVERYTHING and Throw It All Away.

Donovan's Background and the Birth of Ethos Benefits Michael introduces Donovan Ryckis, CEO and founder of Ethos Benefits, a firm redefining how healthcare consulting is done. Donovan shares his journey from working as a fiduciary securities advisor in the financial services industry to launching Ethos Benefits. His shift to healthcare began when he helped a client navigate a 37% increase in premiums without cutting benefits. That experience revealed deep flaws in the traditional healthcare model and inspired his mission to bring fiduciary accountability and transparency to employer-sponsored health plans. The Problem with Traditional Healthcare Brokers Around the eight-minute mark, Donovan explains how most healthcare brokers operate within a commission-based system that rewards them for selling specific insurance plans, not for finding what's best for their clients. He points out that many brokers rely on a one-size-fits-all model, favoring the interests of large carriers over those of employers and employees. This lack of fiduciary responsibility often results in organizations overpaying for healthcare, while employees shoulder higher costs with fewer benefits. How Ethos Benefits Does It Differently At thirteen minutes, the conversation turns to Ethos Benefits' unique approach. Donovan describes how his firm acts as a true fiduciary, aligning its interests directly with each client. Instead of pushing prepackaged plans, Ethos takes time to understand the specific needs and goals of each employer. They often create internal benefits committees to ensure that decision-making is collaborative and data-driven. Their goal is to help organizations control costs while maintaining, or even improving, the quality of care their teams receive. Practical Advice for Employers At the twenty-two-minute mark, Donovan shares practical steps for employers who want to regain control over their healthcare spend. He encourages companies to regularly review their plans and claims data rather than defaulting to automatic renewals. Employers should study premium trends, identify cost drivers, and be open to exploring nontraditional or independent solutions outside the major carriers. By adopting a more proactive and fiduciary-based mindset, businesses can achieve significant savings without sacrificing benefits or employee well-being. Closing Thoughts and Resources As the conversation wraps up, Donovan invites listeners to visit Ethos Benefits' website and watch the documentary “It's Not Personal, It's Just Health Care.” The film dives deeper into the systemic challenges within the healthcare industry and showcases how Ethos Benefits is helping employers bring transparency, accountability, and affordability back into employee health plans. Michael closes the episode by commending Donovan's leadership and mission to make healthcare work for people, not profits.   Donovan Ryckis, an accidental healthcare advocate, left the securities industry after saving a client 40% on healthcare costs. He now helps employers control healthcare costs by aligning interests, disclosing financial data, and removing conflicts of interest inherent in the brokerage insurance sales model. He believes that employers can control healthcare costs and aims to inform employers who cover 183 million Americans. http://linkedin.com/in/donovanryckis Website:  https://ethosbenefits.com/ Documentary:  https://ethosbenefits.com/documentary/
