Brad Stulberg experienced a severe mental health crisis in his early 30s, battling OCD, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and suicidal ideation while outwardly succeeding as a performance coach. This disconnect between his external achievements and internal struggles pushed him to reevaluate how he defined success and excellence. Through therapy, psychiatry, and extensive research, he developed six principles of groundedness to support sustainable success during both good and difficult times. In this episode, Brad explains how groundedness can reduce burnout and promote long-term mental health, wellness, and performance.

In this episode of the Group Function podcast, host Alan Mead sits down with Dr. Alex Kantor and Dr. Eric Applesies from the Just a Couple of Dentists podcast to unpack the "regular ass dentist" experience of buying, starting, running and selling dental practices! Fresh off their presentation at the 2026 Voices of Dentistry conference, the Eric and Alex (a married couple of dentists) dive into the logistics of optimizing a practice for sale, emphasizing that maximum value is built in the 18 to 24 months before a transition by tightening systems and improving hygiene "show rates." The conversation balances technical advice on EBITDA and overhead reduction with a candid—and occasionally spicy—critique of the post-COVID hygiene labor market, ultimately highlighting how dentists can prepare their businesses for a successful handoff to either a private buyer or a DSO. In their session and conversation with Alan, Dr. Alex Cantor and Dr. Eric Applesies highlighted several key levers to pull when prepping a practice for sale. Their core philosophy is that "a dollar saved is $4 to $6 earned" during a valuation. Key Optimization Strategies The 12-to-24-Month Runway: Valuations are typically based on the last 12 months of profit (EBITDA). To ensure your systems are fully "flushed out" and consistent, start implementing changes 18 to 24 months before you intend to sell. Hygiene "Show Rates": Increasing your show rate from 70% to 90% is considered "low-hanging fruit." Because hygiene has low variable costs (mostly just prophy paste and floss), nearly every dollar of a kept hygiene appointment goes directly to the bottom line, which is then multiplied during a sale. Aggressive Appointment Confirmation: Use automated texts to keep appointments top-of-mind. The "48-Hour Rule": If a patient hasn't confirmed 48 hours out, inform them they will be removed from the schedule. Follow Through: Actually remove unconfirmed patients to give your team two days to fill the spot with someone who wants to be there. Overhead Reduction (The "Spend" Side): Supplies: Move away from the "old school" model of buying through a single rep who brings donuts. Use platforms like Crazy Dental or Net 32 to treat supplies as a commodity and secure the lowest price. Labs: Look for efficiency gains through model-less workflows and digital scanning, which can reduce lab fees and turnaround times. Clinical Extraction: If you want to retire immediately after the sale, stop working clinically one year prior. This proves to a buyer (especially a DSO) that the practice's revenue is sustained by systems and associates, not just your individual production. Know Your "Game": Private Buyer: Better if you want a quick exit (6–12 months) and have a smaller practice. DSO Buyer: Better for high-revenue practices ($5M+ range), but usually requires you to stay on for several years as an associate.

Brock and Salk react to the news that Nick Emmanwori injured his ankle late in practice on Tuesday and try and ecipher how serious it is. Later, they re-air their conversation with Joel Klatt of FOX Sports in which he highlights things to watch for in the Super Bowl and why he is a firm believer in the Seahawks over the Patriots.

Fibrate derivatives are lipid-lowering medications that primarily target triglycerides rather than LDL cholesterol. Common agents include gemfibrozil, fenofibrate, and fenofibric acid. While their use has declined with the widespread adoption of statins, fibrates remain an important option for patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia, particularly to reduce the risk of acute pancreatitis rather than for routine cardiovascular risk reduction. Fibrates work by activating PPAR-alpha, which increases lipoprotein lipase activity and enhances the clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. This leads to significant reductions in triglycerides, modest increases in HDL cholesterol, and variable effects on LDL cholesterol. Because they are not strong LDL-lowering agents, fibrates should not replace statins in patients who require LDL reduction, but they can be effective in select clinical scenarios when triglycerides are the primary concern. From a safety standpoint, fibrates are generally well tolerated but require careful monitoring. Common concerns include gastrointestinal side effects, liver enzyme elevations, gallstone risk, and muscle toxicity, especially when combined with statins. Gemfibrozil carries a higher risk of drug interactions, while fenofibrate is usually preferred if combination therapy is necessary. Appropriate patient selection, lab monitoring, and lifestyle counseling are essential to maximize benefit and minimize harm when using fibrate derivatives.

Today's guest is Tanner Care. Tanner Care is a high-performance specialist, currently serving as the Director of Player Performance for the BC Lions (CFL) and the Director of Athletic Performance for the Vancouver Bandits (CEBL). Since 2023, he has also held the role of Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Simon Fraser University, where he oversees the physical development of athletes across 13 collegiate sports. On the surface, strength and conditioning is about increasing an athlete's physical strength and capacities. To dig deeper and help athletes reach their highest potential, an understanding of sprint-specific forces, athlete archetypes, and dosage of inputs is essential. On today's show, Tanner talks about his practical framework for elite athlete development. He shares how he integrates max-speed work into sport-specific drills, such as full-court basketball overthrows, and explains his “layered” coaching model, which progresses from foundational health and general capacity to more specific archetyping. The conversation also dives into the technical side of his toolkit, including the use of run-specific isometrics for sprint transfer, plyometric training, and how he balances force-velocity profiles across different athlete types. Ultimately, Tanner advocates for a “health-first” approach in the pro setting, favoring consistent, high-quality inputs over unnecessarily complex training schemes.

On the Priority of Training: "That's layer one health has to come before performance. So removing any potential inhibition." On Dynamic vs. Passive Screening: "I've seen so many people get on a table, assess passive hip internal rotation and say there's some kind of limitation. But when we see it dynamically at sports speed, it's like, oh, there it is." On General Movement Competency: "I can't tell you the amount of professional guys I have come in that like can't do like rudimentary plyometrics like they can't hop or bound stationary let alone locomotively" On Local vs. Global Issues: "Do we have a Ferrari? Do we have a Honda Civic? Do we have a Ferrari with a flat tire? Like, sometimes we just have to deal with local issues, not necessarily broad systems of improving the overall organism." On the Limits of Strength: "We know that the strongest individuals aren't necessarily the most forceful individuals. At some point, there's a clear cutoff." On Stiffness and Propulsion: "Rate of force development and stiffness isn't always a good thing if they don't have the propulsive qualities necessary to actually displace their hips horizontally" On Force and Sprint Performance“If you're able to generate adequate force at adequate time and attenuate high braking force, that's always going to correlate positively with sprint performance.” On Weight Room Philosophy: "I try to remove skill or as much skill as I can within the context of the weight room." About Tanner Care Tanner Care is a credentialed strength and conditioning professional specializing in elite athlete development across pro and collegiate levels. He currently serves as Director of Performance for the Vancouver Bandits (CEBL) and the BC Lions (CFL), overseeing strength & conditioning, load management, sport science, and performance nutrition to enhance athlete readiness and longevity.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 424 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this episode of the Bulletproof Dental Practice Podcast, Craig Spodak and Peter Boulden discuss various aspects of running a successful dental practice, focusing on the importance of hygiene, incentives for staff, and the challenges of scaling. They explore the disconnect in dental hygiene practices, the need for alignment within teams, and the potential for burnout in the profession. The conversation emphasizes the value of creating a robust business model that prioritizes general dentistry and hygiene, while also allowing for specialization when appropriate. The hosts encourage listeners to pivot and adapt their business strategies to ensure long-term success and satisfaction in their dental careers. TAKEAWAYS Sales-based jobs often yield better results in dentistry. There is a significant disconnect in dental hygiene practices. Incentives are crucial for performance in dental teams. Simplistic and replicable business models scale faster. A strong hygiene program can drive restorative work. Burnout in dentistry often stems from high complexity and stress. Alignment within teams is essential for success. Dentists have the power to pivot their business models. A robust hygiene program can enhance practice profitability. Understanding unit economics is vital for sustainable growth.

Send Steve a Text MessageWant real progress instead of the same comfortable loops? We break down the simple shift that turns practice from maintenance to elevation, so your time actually maps to your goals. It's not about grinding more minutes; it's about choosing what to grow and building a plan that sticks.We dig into the core idea of intentional practice—defining the exact skill you're training, measuring something tangible like BPM or clean reps, and applying constraints that force better form. You'll hear why random YouTube rabbit holes stall progress, how to decide what to ignore, and the questions that filter out noise: does this solve a bottleneck, can I apply it this week, and does it fit the music I want to make? From timing and fretboard mapping to chord fluency and ear training, we show how to pick the two or three sub-skills that unlock your next level.Then we stack those choices into a lean, realistic routine. We outline short, focused blocks for technique, musical application, and theory that fit inside 30 to 60 minutes, plus a weekly review loop using recordings for honest feedback. We also talk about the power of coaching—surfacing blind spots, confirming form, and sequencing your path—so you stop guessing and start integrating. The goal is clarity, not complexity: fewer inputs, better reps, and consistent wins that compound.If you're ready to stop circling and start climbing, this one gives you the framework to make every session count.

If you've ever wondered why two practices with the same skills, same equipment, and same procedures get wildly different patient reactions… this episode is your answer. ✨ What We Cover in This Episode 1. The Energy Patients Feel Before You Say a Word Patients are scanning your practice for safety the moment they walk in—long before they hear your clinical recommendations. 2. The Energetic Imprint of Your Physical Space Your office communicates through: • Lighting • Colors • Sounds • Smells • Organization • Team dynamics You'll learn why outdated doesn't mean untrustworthy—intentionality matters far more than renovations. 3. Your Team as Your Energetic Extension Patients don't know who's responsible for what—they just feel the collective vibe. We discuss: • How a stressed or disengaged team member silently undermines trust • Why team energy always mirrors the doctor • What your leadership tone creates (or destroys) 4. The Power of Your Presence Patients decide whether to trust you within 7 seconds. You'll learn how your internal state—your mental narrative, your confidence, your clarity—communicates louder than your words. Plus: a powerful real-life story of a frustrated patient whose entire experience changed through a single shift in energy. 5. Upgrading Your Energetic Frequency as the Doctor Practical steps you can implement today 6. Why Feelings—Not Procedures—Create Loyalty Patients don't remember every word you say. They remember how they felt in your presence. This episode connects patient experience to real human emotion—family, connection, safety—and how this shapes retention and referrals.

Jesus Before Pilate - 30-Day Gospel Reading Challenge - Day 29 (John 18:28-40) by Shawn Ozbun

New research which has just been published in the British Medical Journal, suggests that testing menstrual blood for signs of cervical cancer could be an accurate way of screening for the disease. The BBC's Health Correspondent, Sophie Hutchinson, and Fiona Osgun, Head of Health information at Cancer Research UK join Anita Rani to talk about this new area of research and discuss the options currently open to women. English actor Imogen Poots is back on our screens taking on a challenging role in Kristen Stewart's first feature film, The Chronology of Water. It's a creative adaptation of an acclaimed memoir by American writer Lidia Yuknavitch which centres on her coming to terms with being abused as a child, battling pain and loss, and her ongoing healing journey. Imogen Poots joins Anita in the studio.The Kurdish-led self-administration in the north east of Syria is a territory where for years women have sat at the centre of political life, security and decision-making. But many are worried that the system is now under pressure following a new agreement between Kurdish authorities and the Syrian government, which will integrate the region into the Syrian state being rebuilt after the toppling of Bashar al-Assad in 2024. Anita is joined by Lina Shaikhouni, journalist at the BBC World Service and Dilar Dirik, Kurdish writer and author of The Kurdish Women's Movement: History, Theory, Practice.Paula Varjack talks to Anita about her show Nine Sixteenths. It examines the fallout from the infamous Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake ‘wardrobe malfunction' incident at the 2004 Superbowl and the backlash that almost ruined Jackson's career. The play questions what this says about the demographics of who controls the media, the scrutinising of black women in the public eye and asks if anything has changed?Presenter: Anita Rani Producer : Corinna Jones

In this episode of Superpowers for Good, Julie Colombino-Billingham, Founder and CEO of Deux Mains, an affordable luxury goods company manufacturing ethical products in Haiti, shares her inspiring story. Julie's work demonstrates how business can be a force for good, especially in one of the most economically challenged countries in the Western Hemisphere.Julie didn't arrive in Haiti to start a business. After the devastating 2010 earthquake, she deployed as a trained disaster responder to help with relief efforts. What began as a short-term mission turned into a life-changing journey. “The women of Haiti were so strong, so brave, and so courageous,” Julie explained. “I really just wanted to be like them…I ended up staying and living there for five years and starting this business.”Deux Mains, which means “two hands” in French, is a testament to the power of collaboration and perseverance. The company manufactures luxury handbags, wallets, and other leather goods using deadstock leather and materials from responsible tanneries. These products, crafted by Haitian artisans earning a fair wage, are now sold in major retailers like Nordstrom and Kohl's. Despite the country's instability, Deux Mains continues to thrive. “The business is not only growing but flourishing under the leadership of my Haitian colleagues,” Julie said.Beyond exporting chic handbags, Deux Mains has a significant local impact. Last year, they manufactured and distributed 10,000 pairs of leather school shoes for Haitian children. The factory, powered entirely by solar energy, employs 45 full-time staff and serves as a model for sustainable development in Haiti.Julie's story is one of transformation—both personal and collective. Her journey highlights how listening to the needs of a community can inspire lasting change. “A woman said to me, ‘Hey, white lady, I don't want water. I need a job,'” Julie recalled. That moment shifted her perspective from short-term aid to creating long-term economic opportunities.Deux Mains proves that ethical fashion can make a global impact while empowering local communities. Julie's vision serves as a powerful reminder that meaningful change begins when we listen, act with purpose, and invest in people.tl;dr:Julie Colombino-Billingham founded Deux Mains after witnessing Haiti's resilience following the 2010 earthquake.Deux Mains creates ethical, sustainable luxury goods while employing Haitian artisans earning a living wage.The company's solar-powered factory produces products sold globally, including in Nordstrom and Kohl's.Julie credits her success to listening deeply to community needs, focusing on long-term economic impact.The episode highlights Julie's superpower of listening, offering actionable tips for cultivating this skill.How to Develop Deep Listening As a SuperpowerJulie's superpower is her ability to listen deeply and empathetically, enabling her to understand and act on the real needs of others. Reflecting on her early days in Haiti, she shared a pivotal moment: “A woman said to me, ‘Hey, white lady, I don't want any water. I need a job.'” That simple yet profound statement transformed Julie's approach, shifting her focus from short-term disaster relief to launching Deux Mains, a business creating sustainable jobs for Haitians. Listening, as Julie explained, “revolutionized my experience and my participation.”Julie shared a story that exemplifies her superpower in action. Early in her time in Haiti, she grew frustrated with the mess in the factory, asking, “Why is everything always a mess here?” Her Haitian business partner, Jolina, calmly replied, “We don't have any garbage cans.” This moment reminded Julie to step outside her own frame of reference and truly listen to her colleagues. By addressing such a simple, overlooked need, she cultivated a culture of collaboration and respect that continues to define Deux Mains.Tips for Developing Deep Listening:Believe that everyone in the room has valuable insights to contribute.Step outside your own perspective to understand others' realities.Ask open-ended questions to uncover underlying needs and concerns.Build trust by acting on the feedback you receive.Practice humility when faced with solutions that challenge your assumptions.By following Julie's example and advice, you can make deep listening a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

If you're trying to scale your dental practice by copying what worked for another dentist, this episode will save you years of stress. “Copy-paste scaling” looks smart on paper, new locations, bigger teams, more production, but it often builds a bigger hamster wheel that drains your energy, wrecks your marriage, and destroys your health. In this conversation, we expose the real reason most practices stall: it's not a production problem… it's leadership dressed up in a white coat. Eric Moore from Tower Leadership breaks down why templates fail in dentistry, why strategy must be personal, and how the best practice growth starts with one question: What do you want?  Whether you're a solo doc trying to regain sanity, building a multi-doctor practice, or thinking about DSOs/private equity, you'll learn how to scale with clarity, without becoming the bottleneck. If you want practice growth, better systems, more profit, and a business that supports your life (instead of consuming it), this episode gives you the mindset shift and the framework to do it right. You'll Learn:  → Why dentists are drawn to templates and “proven systems,” and how that mindset backfires when your ambition, family life, stress tolerance, and leadership style don't match the person you're copying.  → The difference between the “science” of business metrics and the “art” of scaling, strategy, differentiation, culture, motivation, and attracting top talent.  → Why every business should start with an exit, how reverse engineering your end goal creates faster and more efficient growth. → Why the foundation of real practice expansion is building the leader who great people choose to follow.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____Many kids aren't struggling because they lack motivation or discipline. They're struggling because their nervous systems are overwhelmed.In this episode, Tracy talks with Lyndsay Morris, a former teacher and school counselor diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood, about what actually helps ADHD brains learn and regulate. Lyndsay shares how masking as the “good student” kept her ADHD hidden for years and why school only worked when learning felt engaging. What once looked like boredom, emotional sensitivity, and focus struggles were never a lack of effort.That realization reshaped her work. After years in classrooms, Lyndsay saw how often dysregulation was treated as defiance and punished instead of supported. Her approach centers on regulation, connection, and reflection as foundational skills, not behavior control, including her Regulate, Connect, Reflect framework and simple nervous system supports like movement and emotional safety.Tracy and Lyndsay also explore ADHD masking in girls, why adults must regulate themselves before expecting kids to do the same, and what changes when schools stop shaming and start teaching skills. This conversation offers practical, brain-based tools for parents, educators, and adults who want to build capacity rather than compliance.Resources: Website: https://www.generationwellness.com Portfolio: https://www.lyndsaymorris.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lyndsay__morris LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lyndsaymorris Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

Heeeeeey, it's Rob's birthday. Time to pick this month's theme! Maybe it's the near decade's worth of podcasting, but this February, Rob decided that his impeding aging anniversary should also receive celebration in the form of "OOPS! All Rob picked articles". So, given carte blanche to talk about anything in the world of ABA, what did he choose? Well, first, he took the week off while we unlock last year's Winter Book Club on "The Science of Consequences" with a bonus interview with author Dr. Susan Schneider (interested in 2.5 CEs for free? Upgrading to the $10 level on Patreon is your answer). After that, he brings special guest, Danielle Yang, to the table to learn about the state of therapeutic role-playing games and how your weekly D+D game could be added into your ABA services. And finally, because it's been far too long and is one of the most mind-blowingly awesome procedures in his 20 years in the field, Rob brings back the Preschool Life Skills for a record-breaking THIRD time! The best part about Rob's birthday is by just listening to these episodes, you've already gotten him all the gifts he could ever want. NOTE: We talk a lot about the upcoming changes to the website.

https://teachhoops.com/ Practice expectations are the "unwritten rules" that dictate the ceiling of your program's success. As a coach, you must realize that you are not just teaching basketball; you are teaching a standard of excellence. This begins the moment a player walks into the gym. Whether it's the "shoes on, phones away" rule ten minutes before the whistle or the requirement that every player sprints to the center circle for a huddle, these rituals establish that practice time is sacred. In the mid-season grind of January, it's easy for these standards to slip. However, elite programs understand that "how you do anything is how you do everything." If you allow a player to cut a corner on a sideline sprint, you are inadvertently teaching them to cut a corner on a defensive rotation in a one-point game. The second pillar of practice expectations is vocal engagement and communication. A quiet gym is a losing gym. You must set the expectation that players are "talking to the ball" and calling out screens on every single repetition. This isn't just about noise; it's about "Basketball IQ" and shared accountability. When your veterans are the loudest players on the floor, it creates a culture where the younger athletes have no choice but to follow suit. Use "The Three-Second Rule"—if a coach has to wait more than three seconds for a player to respond or get to their spot, the energy is too low. By keeping the pace high and the communication constant, you create a "flow state" where the focus shifts from individual fatigue to collective execution. Finally, expectations must be rooted in measurable effort. Instead of simply asking your players to "play hard," define what "hard" looks like: every loose ball is a dive, every shot is boxed out, and every transition is a full-field sprint. Use a "Culture Scorecard" during practice to reward these "zero-talent" traits. When players know that their effort is being tracked as closely as their shooting percentage, their focus naturally sharpens. By the time you reach the postseason, these expectations should be so deeply ingrained that the players are holding each other accountable. This transition from "coach-led" to "player-led" standards is the hallmark of a championship-caliber team that is ready to win when the pressure is at its highest.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We first hear from a member of the community about how he is experiencing and responding to what's happening in the larger society and world in our times. We then fairly briefly review last week's session, first identifying the three traditional areas of training--in wisdom, meditation, and ethics--and how each can be important resources for responding to what's happening in our own experience and in our society and world. We focus especially on reviewing our exploration of "ethical practice," responding in our everyday lives and in the larger society and world in caring and compassionate ways. We then explore the traditional figure of the bodhisattva as one who brings together deep commitments both to awakening and to helping others--helping others both in awakening and in terms of their life needs. We look at examples of bodhisattva vows from Theravada, Japanese Zen, and Vietnamese traditions, as well as from passages from Shantideva's "Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life." We show images of archetypal bodhisattvas such as Avalokiteshvara, Tara, Kwan Yin, and Manjushri and discuss the ten ways of training of the Mahayana bodhisattva. We suggest a number of contemporary exemplars of the bodhisattva vocation, and invite participants to develop their own personalized bodhisattva vows. The talk is followed by discussion.

Jesus Gives Himself Up Freely - 30-Day Gospel Reading Challenge - Day 28 (John 18:1-27) by Shawn Ozbun

The Neuroscience of Thriving: How Women Leaders Transform Burnout Into Happiness and High Performance With 60% of senior women reporting record burnout (McKinsey, 2025) and 82% of all employees at burnout risk, the happiness crisis demands neuroscience-based solutions. Dr. Paul Zak reveals the "key moments" framework, Love Plus algorithm, and immersion science that transforms workplace well being, leadership culture, and sustained career success. • Happy workers are 13% more productive, with wellbeing interventions showing 10-21% productivity gains (Oxford, 2024) • 50% of happiness comes from quality social relationships—80% of "key moments" are social experiences • Women leaders who invest in relationships develop different brain activity patterns for sustained thriving • The "do-not-do list" creates bandwidth for extraordinary experiences that prevent burnout • Silence, volunteering, and authentic vulnerability are neuroscience-backed practices for long-term happiness As an executive coach with over 30 years of experience (MA, MFT, PCC) and host of the Women's Leadership Success Podcast (900,000+ downloads, top 1.5% globally), I'm witnessing an unprecedented crisis: 60% of senior-level women report feeling frequently burned out—the highest level ever recorded (McKinsey, 2025). And it's getting worse. WebMD Health Services research shows burnout perceptions increased by over 25% from 2022 to 2024, with 82% of all employees now at burnout risk. Gen X women leaders, senior managers, and directors face the highest rates—precisely the women who should be thriving at the peak of their careers. But what if the solution isn't "work-life balance" programs or meditation apps? What if neuroscience reveals a completely different approach to sustained happiness and high performance? In Part 2 of my interview with Dr. Paul Zak—pioneering neuroscientist and author of "Immersion: The Science of the Extraordinary and the Source of Happiness"—we explore the brain-based framework for thriving that transforms how women leaders approach wellbeing, create extraordinary workplace cultures, and sustain career success without sacrificing happiness. The Thriving Crisis: Why Traditional Wellbeing Programs Fail Women Leaders Fast Company (2025) reports that throughout 2025, companies treated employees with "stunning disregard": rolling layoffs, unchecked workloads, and blind eyes to burnout. Over 200,000 American women quit their jobs this year, citing inflexible policies and lack of support. For women leaders specifically: • Only 26% strongly agree their organization cares about their wellbeing (Gallup, 2025) • 42% of working women say their job has had a negative impact on mental health (vs. 37% of men) • Women who feel stressed daily are 46% more likely to actively seek new jobs • 36% of full-time women have a mismatch between preferred and actual work arrangements Why the Gap? Most organizations spent the past decade conflating wellbeing with wellness programs. They handed out meditation apps, gym stipends, and yoga classes while ignoring the root causes: uncaring managers, lack of connection, always-on expectations, and feeling unappreciated. The result? Burnout soared, engagement flat-lined, and the best women leaders walked awa What Neuroscience Reveals About Thriving vs. Surviving "The book has the title Happiness in it, but it's really about thriving," Dr. Zak clarifies. "How do I extend positive mood and high energy over my lifetime?" Using distributed neuroscience technology and the Six app (measuring brain activity continuously at one-second frequency), Dr. Zak's research team discovered something revolutionary: People who have 6 or more "key moments" daily are truly thriving—engaged in life, resilient to stress, and sustaining high performance. What Are Key Moments and Why Do They Matter? "Key moments are high-value experiences that help us grow as human beings and thrive," Dr. Zak explains. "What we found is that the systems in the brain that give us these high-value moments are deep in the brainstem, hidden from our conscious awareness." Dr. Paul Zak This explains why traditional self-assessment wellbeing surveys fail: Most people cannot accurately identify what truly makes them happy. "When we ask people, 'What was your most important moment yesterday?' they don't know," Dr. Zak reveals. "Because it's hidden from conscious awareness. Many times, people will do something they think is really fun that doesn't give their brain a lot of value." The Neuroscience: Why Social Connection Drives Happiness Recent research from Oxford University confirms what Dr. Zak's neuroscience proves: About 50% of our happiness is due to the quality of our social relationships. But here's the critical finding for women leaders: 80% of key moments are social experiences. "It's the people that give me that ability to be present and emotionally open," Dr. Zak emphasizes. "Sometimes I'll get a key moment when I'm really in a great writing project, but mostly, it's when I'm out at a conference, having dinner with people, giving talks." The Leadership Implication: Women leaders facing declining corporate support (only 54% of companies now prioritize women's advancement) cannot wait for organizational culture change. You must proactively create the social connections and immersive experiences that sustain your brain's capacity to thrive. The Two Core Components: Presence and Emotional Openness 1. Being Present "If I'm distracted, it's not going to be a good experience for me," Dr. Zak explains. "So I'll often take my phone and just turn it off in meetings. Hey, you guys, this is an important meeting, I need all the phones off." For Women Leaders: • Create technology-free zones during strategic thinking and team conversations • Block "thinking time" on your calendar—treat it as sacred as client meetings • Practice "walking in silence" to oxygenate your brain and generate ideas • Use the 60-90 minute rule: take 5-minute movement breaks to maintain cognitive clarity 2. Being Emotionally Open "Do we want to be around people who don't share their emotions with us?" Dr. Zak asks. "No. If I say 'I'm having a tough day' and you're like 'oh, that's terrible' with no emotion—that's not a friend, that's a robot." Emotional experiences are saved in memory in a particular way that makes them more easily accessible. When you share authentic emotions, you activate neural pathways that build trust, create connection, and generate the key moments that sustain thriving. Critical for Women Leaders: This isn't about oversharing or being "too emotional" (a bias women already face). It's about strategic vulnerability that makes you relatable, trustworthy, and capable of building the deep connections that drive both happiness and high performance. The Love Plus Algorithm: A Neuroscience Framework for Daily Happiness When Time Magazine asked Dr. Zak to write three sentences on New Year's resolutions, he created what he calls his "algorithm for living a happy and fulfilled life": Love Plus. The Love Plus Framework: L - Love and be loved Invest deeply in relationships. Research shows 50% of happiness comes from social connection quality. For women leaders, this means prioritizing meaningful relationships with family, friends, and trusted colleagues—not just networking transactions. O - Openness to new experiences Travel, try new activities, engage with different perspectives. Novel experiences create neurological growth and generate key moments that sustain thriving. V - Volunteering and giving back "The evidence is so overwhelming that helping others makes you happy," Dr. Zak notes. Even small acts of generosity—buying a colleague coffee, mentoring a junior team member—create reciprocal happiness loops. E - Exercise Physical movement isn't just wellness theater. It oxygenates the brain, reduces stress hormones, and creates conditions for key moments to emerge. PLUS: • Purpose: Connect daily work to larger meaning and impact • Learning: Continuous growth through reading, courses, new skills • Unique experiences: Prioritize extraordinary moments that create lasting memories • Silence: Create space for reflection, creativity, and strategic thinking How Women Leaders Apply Love Plus Daily Dr. Zak's framework isn't theoretical—it's immediately actionable: Morning: 10 minutes of silence before checking devices (builds presence, reduces cortisol) Workday: 2-3 "connection moments" with team members beyond task management (builds trust, creates key moments) Lunch: Walk outside without phone (exercise + silence + openness to new observations) Afternoon: Learn something new—read an article, take a short course, explore a topic (continuous learning) Evening: Invest in deep relationships—quality time with family/friends, not just logistics (love and be loved) Weekly: Volunteer or mentor (giving back creates sustained happiness) The Do-Not-Do List: Creating Bandwidth for Thriving "Many executives tell me they don't have time for key moments," Dr. Zak acknowledges. His solution? The do-not-do list. "I realized I was doing a lot of things on my to-do list that weren't actually that valuable. So I made a second list called my do-not-do list. And it's way longer than my to-do list." Examples from Dr. Zak's Do-Not-Do List: • Do not attend meetings without clear agendas and time boundaries • Do not respond to every email within 2 hours (batch processing instead) • Do not say yes to every speaking invitation (protect creative bandwidth) • Do not schedule back-to-back meetings all day (protect key moment opportunities) • Do not work weekends as default (protect relationship investment time) For Women Leaders: What activities drain energy without creating value? What obligations stem from people-pleasing rather than strategic necessity? Your do-not-do list creates the space for the 6+ daily key moments that neuroscience shows drive sustained thriving.

What if joy isn't denial...but an act of rebellion? When the world feels heavy, choosing joy can feel naïve—or even irresponsible. But it's actually the very thing that keeps you going. In this opening episode of Joyosity in Practice, Jenn wrestles with a question many leaders are quietly carrying: Is it out of touch to talk about joy when things are this hard? After hearing firsthand fear and exhaustion from a close friend, Jenn reframes joy not as optimism or toxic positivity—but as a courageous, strategic act of resistance against burnout, dehumanization, and quiet self-abandonment. This episode lays the foundation for the series, introducing joy as a practice—one that shapes better leadership, healthier workplaces, and more sustainable lives. You'll hear why “just pushing through” stops working, the real cost of treating joy as optional, and how small, intentional practices can help leaders stay human when pressure is high and the stakes are real. Here's What's in the Episode: [02:40] Why joy isn't naïve—it's connected, constructive, and courageous [06:20] The three components of joy (and what joy is not) [07:30] The Joy Ratio: 35% joy, 10% toil, and the messy middle [08:45] The measurable outcomes of joy at work (productivity, collaboration, performance) [ 09:30] Why “just push through” works at first—and then quietly fails [11:55] How endurance without discernment becomes self-abandonment [12:15] The organizational cost of treating joy as optional [14:15] The personal cost: numbness, irritability, physical stress, and burnout [15:45] Why modeling self-neglect as success is harming leaders and teams [16:20] What it actually looks like to practice joy (small, intentional, repeatable) [20:30] The invitation: What if joy were strategic—for you? Key Takeaway When leaders treat joy as optional, they pay for it with burnout, bad decisions, and broken culture. Start small and reap big.

Senior Bowl standouts for Detroit Russell Brown and Jeff Risdon turned Senior Bowl week into an NFL reality check on the Detroit Lions Podcast. Mobile is hard to reach. This year it was worse. Flights through Atlanta and Charlotte snarled schedules. Players spent extra hours in airports, then dove straight into meetings and practices. Every prospect met with all 32 teams. Some chats lasted five minutes. Others stretched to forty five. Minds raced. Bodies adjusted to new time zones. Then came the field work. Wide receivers faced corners they had never seen. Quarterbacks threw to targets they had never met. Timing lagged. Some passes sailed high. The context mattered. It was not a polished team practice. It was a showcase under unfamiliar circumstances, with coaches installing concepts on the fly and players trying to absorb it all. Practice winners with a Detroit lens One offensive winner stood out. Wyoming tight end John Michael Gillenborg flashed real juice. He is a former basketball player who played only three high school football games after COVID wiped out his senior year. Athlete first, growing football player second. In one on one drills he was a problem. He separated cleanly. He was uncoverable for stretches. Safeties and linebackers struggled to mirror him in space. His game performance did not match the practices. The hosts said it plainly. The week still helped him. Movement skills at that size are hard to teach. A slot tight end who wins on timing and leverage translates. One linebacker did hold up well in coverage during those periods, a note that sharpened the evaluation of the tight end work. Even with the natural advantage for tight ends in those drills, Gillenborg's get off and pace changes carried weight. Installs and scheme shifts test prospects The install meetings mattered as much as the reps. Players jumped into systems that did not mirror their college playbooks. Think of a running back used to inside and outside zone suddenly asked to run duo. That changes everything. An offensive lineman who rarely worked a deuce block now has to climb to a linebacker on a different track. In zone you lean on the drag hand and cross the face of the nearest defender to pin and create a lane. Duo shifts the aiming points and the communication. Those are real stressors on short notice. What it means for Detroit The Detroit Lions value how players handle chaos. One bad Tuesday does not define a prospect in the NFL. Meetings, installs, and adaptability do. Gillenborg's week offered a profile worth tracking for a Detroit offense that prizes matchups in the middle of the field. The linebacker who showed coverage chops added another data point on the defensive side. For the Lions, the smart move is weighing practice tape, mental processing, and the ability to translate coaching quickly. Senior Bowl week delivered all three. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvW-U57A_nc #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #seniorbowl #johnmichaelgyllenborg #one-on-onedrills #linebackercoverage #safetiesandlinebackers #insidezone #outsidezone #duoblocking #interviewswithall32teams #timezoneadjustment #flightdelaysinatlantaandcharlotte Learn more about your ad choices.

EVEN MORE about this episode!What happens when a hardcore skeptic dies—and comes back changed forever? In this unforgettable episode of the Ask Julie Ryan Show, Julie Ryan sits down with Dr. Lotte Valentin, whose dramatic near-death experience shattered her lifelong disbelief in anything spiritual. After hemorrhaging following childbirth, Lotte—an atheist programmer from Sweden—found herself floating above her body in an emergency room, immersed in unconditional love, surrounded by angels, and shown a luminous grid revealing that everything is connected.With no spiritual framework to explain what happened, Lotte was terrified to share her experience, fearing she'd be dismissed or institutionalized. But the spirit world didn't stop at revelation—it gave her a mission. She was told to go to medical school, write books, and bring healing messages to others. At age 54, she followed that guidance exactly, completing her prerequisites from scratch and entering medical school, ultimately merging Western medicine with medical intuition, ancestral healing, and mediumship.This powerful conversation explores near-death experiences, divine timing, and why science and spirituality aren't opposites—but reflections of the same truth. Filled with validation, courage, and hope, this episode is a must-watch for anyone who's ever wondered whether there's more to life than what we can see.Guest Biography:Dr. Lotte Valentin is an N.M.D., author, evidential psychic and medical medium, ancestral healer, and internationally recognized keynote speaker known for bridging science and soul. Often described as an oracle, she moves effortlessly through the realms of mystic, prophet, and seer. Her award-winning book Med School After Menopause: The Journey of My Soul earned 1st place in Spiritual Leadership from the Living Now Book Awards for its powerful message of transformation, healing, and spirituality. Following two near-death out-of-body experiences that awakened her clairvoyant, clairaudient, and clairsentient abilities, Dr. Lotte was guided to pursue medicine—completing her prerequisites and entering medical school at age 54—while also serving as an evidential medium and teacher. She has created Ancestral Healing Journeys in collaboration with Hemi-Sync, teaches with leading spiritual organizations worldwide, and frequently speaks on near-death experiences and medical intuition. Dr. Lotte is also the host of Dr. Lotte: Science with Soul, a top-5% globally ranked podcast dedicated to empowering people to heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually while uniting modern science with ancient wisdom.Episode Chapters:(0:01:30) - Dr. Lotte's Background and First NDE Setup(0:02:15) - The 7.4 Earthquake During Labor(0:04:30) - Postpartum Hemorrhaging Begins(0:08:06) - Multiple ER Visits and Medical Dismissal(0:10:30) - Critical Hemorrhage and Blood Pressure Drop(0:12:22) - First Near Death Experience - Leaving the Body(0:17:26) - Sister-in-Law's Spirit Visit in Hospital(0:19:33) - Introduction to Life After Life Book(0:20:06) - Nordic Spirituality and Childhood Experiences(0:21:58) - Second Near Death Experience(0:23:00) - The Mid-Station and Celestial Music(0:24:20) - Encountering Angels and Source Light(0:26:59) - The Grid Vision and Interconnectedness(0:30:00) - Hearing the Spirit World for 12 Years(0:31:01) - The Call to Medical School(0:34:04) - Starting Prerequisites at 54(0:34:44) - Science and Spirituality as Mirrors(0:36:00) - Quantum Entanglement Explanation(0:39:16) - Aura Photography Technology(0:41:49) - Medical Intuitive Work in Practice(0:42:25) - Lung Cancer Diagnosis Story(0:45:09) - Types of Sessions Offered(0:48:32) - Divine Timing vs Procrastination(0:52:00) - Meditation as Essential Practice(0:52:48) - Why We Incarnate➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Español YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Português YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Deutsch YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Français YouTube✏️Ask Julie a Question!
