In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, Dr. Kelly Casperson sits down with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon for a powerful, science-forward conversation about why muscle is the organ of longevity—and why women have been taught to focus on the wrong things for decades. They unpack how an overemphasis on fat loss has distracted from the far more important goal of preserving and building muscle, especially as we age. Dr. Lyon explains anabolic resistance, protein needs across the lifespan, and why mindset—not willpower—is often the missing link in women's fitness and health outcomes. This episode reframes strength training, nutrition, and supplements as essential medical tools—not aesthetic choices—and delivers a clear message: women deserve better education about their bodies and the confidence to train for strength, not shrinkage. Why muscle is critical for metabolic health, protection, and aging well How the obsession with fat loss has undermined women's long-term health The role of mindset in body recomposition and sustainable fitness Why protein intake matters more than calorie restriction What anabolic resistance is—and why protein needs increase with age How the “fit fat” phenotype challenges outdated health metrics When continuous glucose monitoring is helpful (and when it's not) Why many women over 65 are protein deficient—and why that matters The role of supplements like creatine and essential amino acids Why strength training is a non-negotiable for women's health Muscle is not about appearance—it's about independence, resilience, and metabolic health. Women have been under-informed, under-fueled, and under-trained for far too long. Prioritizing strength is one of the most powerful health decisions a woman can make at any age.

2. Guest Author: Victor Davis Hanson. Headline: Immigration, Amnesty, and the Erosion of Citizenship. Summary: Hanson critiques the 1965 Hart-Celler Act and subsequent amnesties for prioritizing family ties over merit and failing to secure the border. He argues that the resulting influx of illegal immigration serves corporate demand for cheap labor and political desire for new voters, ultimately undermining the value of American citizenship.1920 BRYAN SPEAKING IN MANHATTAN

In today's episode, I sit down with IFBB Pro Sandy Arave, a 55-year-old high school counselor whose path to bodybuilding success is anything but conventional. Sandy began competing in 2022 and earned her Pro card at North Americans in 2024. In 2025, she made her Pro debut and went on to win two Pro shows in the 55+ categories.   Before bodybuilding, Sandy lived a very different competitive life as a barrel racer, competing at professional rodeos. Her journey into the sport came alongside navigating grief, health challenges, and major life transitions. This conversation is an honest look at resilience, purpose, and why chasing growth matters more than chasing a card.   TOPICS COVERED -Living and competing through grief and trauma -Transitioning from competitive barrel racing to bodybuilding -Building and leaning on a strong support system -Lessons learned through failure and setbacks -Being a role model at any age -Prioritizing health while pursuing big goals   CONNECT WITH CELESTE: Website: http://www.celestial.fit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/celestial_fit/ All Links: http://www.celestial.fit/links.html   CONNECT WITH SANDY:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sandytaylorarave_ifbbpro/   TIME STAMPS 1:00 introduction 3:14 having a competitive nature 5:53 life before competing 13:13 balance work life and competing 16:56 competing through grief 26:41 how grief has impacted her life 35:16 taking chances 43:10 advice for balancing life and competing 52:35 making her Pro debut 59:30 dealing with thyroid issues 66:38 prioritizing health 73:05 advice for competitors   CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE FOOD RELATIONSHIP COACHING SERIES   CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE POST SHOW BLUES COACHING SERIES   LEARN MORE AND APPLY FOR MY 5 WEEK FOOD RELATIONSHIP HEALING & DISCOVERY COACHING PROGRAM   FOR OTHER FREE RESOURCES, LIVE EVENTS, AND WAYS TO WORK WITH CELESTE CLICK HERE

Summary In this episode of the Be a Smarter Homeowner podcast, hosts Elizabeth Dodson and John Bodrozic discuss the essential steps for first-time homeowners. They cover the importance of understanding how to operate and maintain a home, the significance of regular maintenance, and how to prioritize home projects based on inspections. The conversation also delves into budgeting for homeownership, including the total cost of ownership and the balance between DIY projects and hiring professionals. The hosts emphasize the need for preparation and awareness to navigate the complexities of homeownership successfully. Takeaways Homeownership is a journey that requires understanding and preparation. Knowing how your home operates is crucial for effective management. Regular maintenance can prevent costly repairs in the future. Creating a maintenance calendar helps keep track of necessary tasks. Prioritizing projects based on inspections can save time and money. Understanding the total cost of ownership is essential for budgeting. DIY projects can save money but require time and effort. Home inspections provide a snapshot but do not replace ongoing maintenance. Engaging with neighbors can provide support and resources for home care. Planning and budgeting for home projects is key to successful homeownership.   Sound bites "Knowing how your home operates is crucial." "Planning for home projects is key."

President Donald Trump's administration has chosen to enforce federal immigration laws in a manner that prioritizes "maximum letahlity" over "tepid legality." That's what Dakota Rudesill, a professor of law at Ohio State University and a former legislative assistant on national security to Sen. Kent Conrad, said on this episode of Plain Talk. He said that President Trump is usince ICE in Minnesota and elsewhere in the country as a "new federal domestic army." Rudesill called the U.S. Constitution a "national security document," and argues that the separation of military and civil authority is a core American value found throughout our founding legal documents. With ICE dressing like soldiers, and using military equipment and tactics, and with ICE's leaders, up to and  including President Trump and his cabinet, using the rhetoric of war to describe their activities, does that separation still exist? "The Constitution was forged from national security crisis, and the highest level of government right encroaching on the liberty of the people in the name of national security," he said. "And so the framers wrote in that context, and they gave us the system we have, which is one where we have limited government not unlimited government." With ICE patrolling American streets as if they were in enemy territory, with their assertion of the right to search homes without warrants, and deport detainees without due process, can we say that we have limited government or unlimited government?

On today's episode of the Play It Brave podcast, I'm sitting down with one of my favorite creative power couples in the photography industry, Gary Evans and Kim Evans. We talk about what it really looks like to rebrand with intention, build a cohesive identity, and grow multiple businesses together without losing alignment—or your relationship—in the process. This conversation weaves together the emotional and practical sides of entrepreneurship: branding beyond logos, finding your voice in the education space, building an email list that actually converts, and creating offers like retreats that feel meaningful and expansive. We also dive into collaboration, working as a couple, and why asking for help can completely change the trajectory of your business. What we talk about in this episode: Why branding is foundational, not optional, when building a sustainable business How to create a cohesive identity that actually reflects who you are The role visual identity plays in client trust and perception Finding your unique voice in a crowded education space Using email lists and freebies as powerful (and aligned) growth tools Why retreats can be such a transformative offering for photographers The magic that happens when collaboration is rooted in alignment Working with your partner's strengths instead of against them Prioritizing family and relationships while growing a business Why reaching out for help can fast-track your growth in the best way This episode is a beautiful reminder that success doesn't have to be chaotic or lonely—and that when your brand truly reflects who you are, it can open doors you never even knew to knock on. Meet Gary & Kim Here's our story - we met, despite living in separate countries, by a complete twist of fate that led Gary to help a friend at the same wedding show where Kim had a booth. Gary scoped her out and said she's "right up my street" and 18 months later, after multiple flights, over 50,000 miles, Gary sold his photography company, house, and just about everything else and moved from the UK to Ontario, Canada. We had to completely rebuild his business in Canada, sold our decorating and floral design business, rejigged the photography, built Pop Up Weddings, a wedding subscription box, I Do Box.... When I say we're serious business builders, we're not lying. With every business move, we analyze + plan + move forward. We release what is not profitable and focus on the projects that are making bank. That's our story - we are serial creators.  And you get two for the price of one. We're a dynamic team, each with individual strengths that we can use to supercharge your business. Gary is a technical whiz, anything photography we got you. Kim is a marketing, systems and logistics queen. She'll figure out how to make it work, attack any issues like a pitbull and cheer you on while you reach your biggest goals.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Noel Andrews discuss:Prioritizing others to drive long-term successDelegation as a lever for higher-value workHiring and managing support effectivelyShifting from doing to thinking as a leader Key Takeaways:Sustainable business growth comes from helping team members, clients, and referral partners achieve their goals first. Celebrate client milestones, develop your team, and make introductions without expecting immediate returns. Focusing outward builds trust, loyalty, and lasting relationships that compound over time.Lawyers often get stuck handling admin, marketing, and operations alongside legal tasks. Listing tasks to delegate frees you to focus on work only you can do and grow the firm strategically. Delegation transforms busywork into leverage and career impact.Start with clarity: define tasks first, then map them to a role, location, and level of support. Remote talent in regions like Eastern Europe or South Africa can provide high-quality work at a lower cost. Clear KPIs, meaningful projects, and trust are more effective than micromanaging hours.Resist the urge to control every detail; hire capable assistants to own outcomes. Delegating at a high level frees time for strategic thinking and future planning. Leaders must balance action with observation to maximize impact and firm growth. "Every single time I've ever done the next stage for me, or the next step in really investing in supporting my team, particularly in their personal lives, the results are just huge." —  Noel Andrews"Profit is what happens when you get everything else right." — Yvon Chouinard, Founder of Patagonia Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Lisa Conarton, CEO of LC Elevated Hospitality, who shares compelling examples of what it means to be a leader in the hospitality and tourism industry. We discuss the importance of building trust, why collaboration is key to success, and the difference between ROI and 'return on experience' (ROX). Lisa also shares how people can be proactive rather than reactive and why understanding how to go with the flow is so important. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Lisa built her career path in hospitality and tourism, moving from convention operations to launching her own destination management consultancy Why earning trust is necessary for leadership and success in hospitality How networking and partnerships have been essential in driving growth for Lisa How Lisa differentiates between ROI (return on investment) and ROX (return on experience), and why focusing on experience benefits both travelers and businesses Why championing creativity encourages authenticity What real-life crisis taught Lisa about letting go, going with the flow, and relying on cultivated partnerships to execute successful events How Lisa approaches partnerships and collaboration, and her examples of coopetition within New York State destination marketing The Pillars of Hospitality Leadership From full-service hotel management to destination marketing and now as she builds her own consultancy, Lisa has consistently sought out growth opportunities. Her experience has shown that there are three key areas you have to prioritize: Earning Trust Trust has to be earned, particularly in hospitality, where seamless service and reliability are so important. Lisa emphasizes that trust is built over and over and over again, and needs consistency and integrity in every interaction. Networking and Collaboration Networking is the avenue to future collaboration and partnerships, which are the real engines behind growth. Not only do great relationships provide support in crisis, but they also lead to opportunities for greater collective achievements. The very definition of coopetition. Return on Experience (ROX) While return on investment (ROI) is a familiar metric, Lisa also values "return on experience"—the transformative impact of meaningful, memorable interactions that benefit both guests and the businesses serving them. Planning and execution are vital, but so is the focus on creating memories that resonate long after a trip or event ends. The Power of Partnerships Lisa shares the story of a last minute challenge, when with only 24 hours, she had to move a 150-person event when the venue became unusable due to heat. Through her well-established industry relationships, the move was seamless. While meticulous planning is crucial, so is the ability to let go and trust your partners. From her involvement with New York State's Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) to local industry partnerships, Lisa's success stories center around shared values and transparent communication. She explains why it's so important to figure out where each partner fits, recognize strengths, and build collaborations that play to everyone's best qualities.

Many women reach midlife feeling frustrated that what once worked no longer does. Despite exercising regularly and eating “healthy,” they experience weight gain, fatigue, injuries, and stalled progress.Host Dr. Rachel Pope is joined by Jody Trostler, certified menopause fitness and health coach, master health coach, and personal trainer, to discuss how hormonal shifts change the body's response to exercise and nutrition — and what women can do now to support their health, strength, and metabolism.Why the Midlife Body ChangesJody explains that the perimenopausal transition brings significant metabolic and hormonal shifts that affect muscle, fat distribution, recovery, and energy balance. Many women unknowingly enter a state of low energy availability, meaning they are under-fueling relative to their activity and stress levels.Common consequences include: Increased injuries and poor recovery Fatigue and brain fog Stubborn midsection weight gain Slowed metabolismEven women who exercise frequently and eat “clean” are often impacted.From Cardio to Strength & FuelingJody emphasizes that muscle becomes a critical protective organ during midlife. As estrogen declines, women naturally lose muscle unless they actively work to preserve it. Without strength training, this contributes to metabolic slowdown, fat gain, and loss of functional ability.Key strategies discussed include: Prioritizing strength training over excessive cardio Supporting workouts with adequate protein and overall fuel Reducing chronic physical stress and improving recovery Starting gradually with body-weight training for beginnersThe focus shifts from weight loss to building strength, metabolic health, and long-term independence.Jody and Rachel remind listeners that menopause is not a failure of the body, but a transition into a new phase that requires new strategies — ones that support resilience, function, and lifelong health.

For the past 20 years, Teresa Torres has championed the cause of product discovery. We’ve made progress, she says, but there are plenty of companies and teams out there who don’t know much about their customers – and still think they have all the answers. Is AI exacerbating the problem? In this episode, Teresa returns to Product Momentum taking us on a rollercoaster ride that begins in a pre-ChatGPT world full of hopeful optimism in which product leaders were (slowly, steadily) recognizing the value good Discovery brings – but then spirals through phases of grief as AI-powered Delivery seems to have reclaimed our attention. As you'll hear, Teresa remains bullish on AI. But she's also concerned that AI is pulling us in the wrong direction, making it easier and faster to build and, thus, putting even more emphasis on Delivery. Ever the optimist, Teresa believes that product builders can use the same technology that created today's predicament to help us course-correct, refocusing our attention on high-quality Discovery practices. Here's a few of our key takeaways: AI Might Be Helping Us Build the Wrong Thing In our earlier episode with Teresa (58 / Innovate with Product Discovery, published shortly before the release her Continuous Discovery Habits, a must read for anyone in the software space), Teresa talked about how the product community under-emphasized Discovery and over-emphasized Delivery. It was a time highlighted by a gnawing anxiety that we were building the wrong stuff. Since then, the trend was moving back toward a focus on Discovery, Teresa says, until AI changed the trajectory again. “AI is making it easier and faster to build software,” Teresa says. “But as we do, we’re once again putting even more emphasis on Delivery and forgetting to ask whether we're building the right thing?” AI’s Double-Edged Sword: Broad Participation vs. Product Coherence Teams across the organization are now contributing to software development – a positive trend that Teresa calls awesome. “We want to empower product teams and draw people closer to the customer to impact the product in positive ways,” Teresa says. “But it's equally terrifying: who’s creating product coherence, and how do we make sure [each team] is serving the market and not their own specific needs?” The Opportunity Solution Tree: A Structure Of Discovery That Doesn’t Change With the Opportunity Solution Tree, Teresa provides teams with “a simple underlying structure that gives us a mental representation” of the interaction between what success looks like (outcome), our customers and their needs (opportunity space), and impact on our customers and our business. “Do I think that’s ever gonna change?,” Teresa asks. “I don’t. We're always gonna have to create value for our business. We’re always going to have to create value for our customers. Hopefully, we are doing one thing to accomplish both – not doing competing things.” As AI enables more people to be makers, teams and organizations will learn new skills and allow everyone who wants, to contribute while still delivering a coherent product that serves their users. “I actually think that’s gonna be net positive in the long run,” Teresa concludes. You can catch even more of Teresa’s insights by checking out her podcast, Just Now Possible, which releases new episodes every Thursday. And, beginning this month (Jan. 2026), Teresa and Product Talk are launching a new course called, Business Fundamentals. The post 179 / Teresa Torres: Is AI Re-Prioritizing Delivery Over Discovery (Again)? appeared first on ITX Corp..

A while back, we shared a video on social media about the importance of making time for intimacy, dating, and connection in marriage. One man responded strongly, explaining that he, and many other husbands, simply did not have the “time” and felt we did not understand the realities of busy life.What followed was a conversation that went back and forth for nearly three hours, centered on his belief that there was truly no time available to connect with his wife. At one point, Amy gently pointed out that while he felt he had no time for his marriage, he had found several hours to engage in the discussion and remain active on social media. The conversation ended shortly after, but the point remained clear.We hear this often. Couples talk about being too busy for date nights, postponing vacations, putting off intimacy, or avoiding deeper emotional connection. Yet we live in a world where convenience surrounds us. Food arrives in minutes, answers are instant, and entertainment is available at the push of a button.Still, many couples feel they do not have time for the most important relationship in their lives, their marriage.The truth is not that time is unavailable, but that it is often unintentionally allocated elsewhere. Screens, distractions, and endless obligations slowly take priority while marriage gets pushed to the margins. When couples begin to look honestly at how time is spent, even small shifts can create space for meaningful connection. Prioritizing marriage is rarely about finding more time, it is about choosing where our time goes.In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we talk about why “too busy” is the ultimate relationship killer and the simple things you can do to reclaim your time, your connection, and your love, even in the middle of life's chaos. If you've been putting your relationship on the back burner, this episode is your wake-up call.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

THE NEW MODEL ARMY AND THE REGICIDE Colleague Jonathan Healey. Parliament reorganizes its forces into the New Model Army under Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell, prioritizing merit over social status. After defeating the Royalists at Naseby, political divisions emerge between Presbyterians and Independents regarding the settlement. The Army debates a new constitution at Putney, pitting Henry Ireton against democratic Levelers. Charles I's refusal to negotiate leads to a second civil war. Concluding the King is a tyrant, radicals try and execute Charles I in 1649, a shocking public act performed in the name of the people. NUMBER 527TH CENTURY LONDON

Andrea Faulkner Williams is the co-founder of Tubby Todd, a cult-favorite clean baby skincare brand created for families with sensitive skin.We're often told that if you want to build a real empire, you need venture capital, a massive team, and a perfectly engineered growth plan from day one. But my guest today built one of the most beloved baby skincare brands in America by doing the exact opposite.Andrea started Tubby Todd with 750 bottles in a cluttered San Diego garage. No ad spend. No background in chemistry. Just a very real problem she couldn't ignore. Her baby's eczema was so severe, it completely changed the way she looked at “baby-safe” products.Fast forward to today, Tubby Todd has tens of thousands of five-star reviews, a hero product parents swear is “a miracle in a jar”, and a major retail milestone. They've officially launched in Target, with a nationwide rollout underway.In this episode, Andrea shares how her early comfort with risk shaped her path as an entrepreneur, why clarity around your why and your one goal matters more than confidence, and how community, not paid ads, became the foundation of Tubby Todd's growth. We talk about building a business alongside her husband, the inflection points that took the brand from garage to national retail, and the discipline it took to prioritize profitability before scaling. She also opens up about navigating motherhood while running a fast-growing company, and the daily non-negotiables, like sleep, movement, and joy, that keep her grounded through it all.In this episode, we'll talk to Andrea about:* Andrea's upbringing and early exposure to entrepreneurship. [02:37]* Andrea's natural comfort with risk and optimism. [05:03]* Advice on overcoming fear: start with your “why” and one clear goal. [07:14]* How long it took Andrea to define her personal brand and goals. [11:36]* The moment Andrea knew she wanted to build something of her own. [15:04]* The first formula fails when their son Walker's eczema reacts badly. [19:13]* Buying their first 750 bottles and shipping from their garage. [20:52]* Origin of the Tubby Todd brand value: “Be a good friend” in everything. [22:23]* Prioritizing profitability from day one despite premium positioning. [24:39]* The breakout success of All Over Ointment and its cult-like reviews. [27:04]* How All Over Ointment was formulated as a healing, petroleum-free alternative that truly works. [37:38]* Their community-first approach made ads a support tool, not the strategy. [38:45]* Early DIY branding using iPhone photos and a scrappy website, and why it still worked. [40:13]* Long road to Target: years of prep before ever saying yes to retail. [42:07]* Target launch uses the exact same formula as DTC. [43:00]* Her biggest advice: nourish your relationship with your partner weekly. [45:21]* Daily non-negotiables: sleep, movement, and one small joy every single day. [46:48]* How faith and community is the backbone of both her business and her family.

Lessons from the Superpower's Economic Resurgence. Guest: GREGORY COPLEY. The 21st century reveals that nations prioritizing energy security and enforced borders tend to succeed. President Trump's focus on manufacturing and cheap energy has bolstered the U.S. economy, positioning it as an unchallenged superpower. However, his dynamic approach often alienates allies while redefining grand strategy.1940 ALLENTOWN BUS

He discusses the societal pressures that lead women to choose excitement and chaos over stability and consistency in relationships. The conversation delves into the psychological impacts of dysfunctional family backgrounds, the importance of reciprocity in relationships, and the signs that indicate a woman has fumbled a good man. Ultimately, Andrew emphasizes the value of recognizing and appreciating good men before it's too late.TakeawaysWomen often push away good men due to external pressures.Excitement and chaos can feel more appealing than stability.Boredom in relationships can lead to the highest long-term rewards.Good men have standards and will not tolerate inconsistency.Women often choose excitement over stability in their youth.The formula for dating is often backwards for women.Prioritizing short-term thrills can cost long-term happiness.Comparing good men to past bad relationships can be detrimental.Stability is undervalued by younger women.Recognizing a good man is crucial to avoid future regrets.Why Women Fumble Good Men: A Deep DiveThe Chaos of Choice: Understanding Relationship Dynamics"Why do women fumble a good man?""The streets do not love you.""Comparing exes can be dangerous."Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Topic01:12 Understanding the Dynamics of Relationships03:33 The Impact of External Pressures on Relationships06:00 Excitement vs. Stability in Relationships12:50 The Consequences of Choosing the Wrong Partner19:33 Signs of Fumbling a Good Man25:47 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

How can attorneys design a five-star client experience to enhance referrals? Creating a five-star client experience involves focusing on how clients are treated from the moment they walk in the door. This includes the onboarding process, handling invoices, and overall client care. Providing exceptional customer service can lead to positive reviews and referrals, even if the case outcome is not perfect. Clients value feeling heard, understood, and guided through the legal process with care and attention to detail. Why is client experience crucial in family law, and how does it impact client satisfaction? In family law, clients are often emotional, scared, and uncertain about the legal process. Having a warm and attentive intake specialist who can guide clients through their initial contact with the law firm can significantly reduce their stress and anxiety. By providing a supportive and reassuring experience, clients feel more confident, informed, and valued, leading to higher satisfaction levels with the legal services provided. Why is it important for law firms to invest in designated intake specialists for client interactions? Having a designated intake specialist is essential for managing the high demand and screening potential clients effectively. An intake specialist plays a crucial role in automating systems, onboarding clients, and ensuring a seamless client experience from the initial contact to case closure. By having someone dedicated to screening clients, setting expectations, and providing personalized attention, law firms can enhance client satisfaction and streamline their operations. How does prioritizing customer service over legal expertise impact law firm growth and client retention? Prioritizing customer service over legal expertise can have a significant impact on client retention and business growth. Clients value effective communication, responsiveness, and transparency throughout their legal journey. By focusing on providing exceptional customer service, law firms can differentiate themselves from competitors, build trust with clients, and increase positive reviews and referrals. Neglecting customer service can lead to dissatisfaction, poor reviews, and ultimately hinder business growth. What strategies can law firms implement to gather client feedback and improve the client experience? Law firms can implement various strategies to gather client feedback and enhance the client experience. These strategies include soliciting Google reviews, following up with clients during and after their cases, inviting feedback on billing processes, scheduling regular case management conversations to discuss financial implications, and adapting communication methods to meet individual client preferences. By actively seeking feedback and incorporating client input into the firm’s processes, attorneys can improve client satisfaction and loyalty. How do automation and systems play a role in enhancing the client experience in law firms? Automation and systems are essential components in enhancing the client experience in law firms. Automation can streamline tasks such as follow-up reminders, bill payments, and appointment notifications, ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks. On the other hand, systems provide a structured framework for delivering consistent and efficient services to clients. While automation can handle repetitive tasks, systems allow for customization and flexibility to cater to individual client needs within a standardized process. By combining automation with well-designed systems, law firms can create a seamless and personalized client experience. Why is it crucial for law firms to design their client experience with intention and adapt to meet client expectations? Designing the client experience with intention is crucial for law firms to build their brand, enhance client satisfaction, and generate referrals. Every client interaction shapes the firm’s reputation and influences how clients perceive the quality of service provided. By understanding and meeting client expectations, law firms can create a positive and memorable experience that fosters trust, loyalty, and long-term relationships. Customizing the client experience to align with different client preferences and needs ensures that clients feel valued, heard, and supported throughout their legal journey.

Fierce First Step in 2026 PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTLiving in the “Vitality Zone” Requires Conscious Choice and CourageDr. Mishra contrasts the vitality zone—where life feels purposeful, energetic, and engaged—with the surviving, sliding, and burnout zones. Using his experience standing on Iceland's continental divide as a metaphor, he emphasizes that meaningful growth often requires a deliberate leap of faith rather than passive autopilot living.Sleep is the New Frontier for Disease PredictionGroundbreaking AI research (the Sleep Foundation Model) shows that data from a single night of sleep can predict over 130 health conditions, including dementia, heart disease, stroke, and all-cause mortality. Sleep is reframed not as passive rest, but as a powerful diagnostic signal for future health.Sleep Functions as a Biological and Metabolic SuperpowerHigh-quality sleep resets metabolism, reduces inflammation, preserves muscle mass, improves cognition, and enhances physical performance. Athletes, professionals, and everyday individuals perform better when sleep is prioritized, making it foundational for both vitality and productivity.Five Evidence-based Principles can Dramatically Improve Sleep QualityThe most impactful strategies are:* Prioritizing sleep regularity over total sleep duration* Using exercise (especially strength training) as a drug-free sleep aid* Executing consistent sleep hygiene (cool, dark room; limited screens/caffeine; calming routines)* Recognizing sleep as a performance enhancer and metabolic reset* Treating sleep data as a validated biomarker for long-term health riskKnowledge only Matters when Turned into ActionEchoing Benjamin Franklin, Dr. Mishra stresses that while knowledge pays dividends, action pays more. The concrete vitality action for the week is simple but powerful: aim for 20 additional minutes of quality sleep per night, combined with moments of stillness, reflection, and self-advocacy to move intentionally toward a more vital life.Copyright VyVerse, LLC.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Teresa Edwards. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to introduce Teresa Edwards’ book The Mirror Method: 12 Weeks to Stop Abandoning Yourself, a guided workbook designed to help individuals overcome people-pleasing tendencies, set boundaries, and prioritize their own needs without guilt. It focuses on personal empowerment, mental health, and rediscovering one’s authentic self. Key Takeaways People-Pleasing and Boundaries People-pleasing becomes harmful when you agree to things you don’t want to do, leading to stress and resentment. Setting boundaries is essential for self-respect and mental health. The Mirror Method A 12-week guided process to “unravel” harmful patterns and rediscover your true self. Emphasizes self-reflection, journaling, and gradual transformation at your own pace. Selfishness vs. Self-Care Edwards reframes “selfish” as a positive concept: prioritizing your health and happiness is necessary, not negative.

Let's start with the Bad News?The ICE game3 UnitedHealth Group Minnetonka41 Target Minneapolis105 U.S. Bancorp; IR site not working: Minneapolis108 Best Buy Richfield115 CHS Inver Grove Heights174 3M Maplewood216 General Mills Golden Valley230 Ameriprise Financial MinneapolisAnthony Saglimbene, Chief Market Strategist, Ameriprise Financial: Is Corporate America Up For Its First Big Test Of 2026? 1/12/2026“geopolitical and Washington headlines have increased risk, from developments in Venezuela to broader policy noise, including the pending International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) decision which didn't occur last week, affordability proposals in Washington, and unexpected policies and executive orders that could impact housing and defense companies”233 C.H. Robinson Eden Prairie262 Land O'Lakes Arden Hills274 Ecolab St. Paul319 Xcel Energy Minneapolis352 Hormel Foods Austin388 Thrivent Financial MinneapolisThe Good GameThe oil CEO who stood up to Trump is a follower of the disciplined ‘Exxon way' with a history of blunt statementsBig Oil executives met at the White House to discuss investing billions to revive Venezuela's oil industry.Exxon Mobil CEO Darren Woods pushed back, calling Venezuela “uninvestable” without long-term reforms.President Trump reacted angrily, calling Exxon “too cute” and signaling he may exclude the company from Venezuela.Woods declined to appease Trump at the expense of Exxon shareholders.Analysts said Exxon stock would likely have fallen if it committed billions to Venezuela's uneconomic, high-risk environment.Veteran analyst Jim Wicklund said Woods was the only executive willing to speak plainly.Industry has little urgency to return to Venezuela, and no deal can offset the extreme political risk.Even sweeter terms wouldn't change the math: political risk outweighs potential rewards by “a factor of 10.”Microsoft Pledges to Pay More for Electricity, Drawing Praise From Trump A senior Microsoft executive on Tuesday addressed the impact data centers have on the electrical costs for home consumers, an increasingly touchy subject that became a political hot button in November's elections.In a blog post ahead of a speech on artificial intelligence, Brad Smith, Microsoft's president, reiterated that Microsoft wants to pay for the electricity its data center use and avoid affecting everyday customers. “We'll ask utilities and public commissions to set our rates high enough to cover the electricity costs for our data centers,” Mr. Smith wrote.US Judge Allows Orsted to Resume $5 Billion Rhode Island Offshore Wind Project Halted by TrumpRevolution Wind is a $5 billion development co-owned by Orsted that aims to deliver renewable power to Rhode Island and Connecticut. It is the first of five offshore wind projects paused by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum in late December over what officials described as radar interference risks identified by the Department of Defense.Trump tries to reduce CEO pay and halt billions in stock buybacks at defense contractorsThe executive order is creating a “new, government-mandated form of ESG,” referring to the environmental, social, and governance framework that grew prominent in recent years and prodded CEOs to focus on their companies' broader stakeholder impact and not just shareholders.Ironically, the prioritization of ESG was derided as “woke” by critics and the administration has been generally hostile toward ESG. The defense contractor order is conceptually similar in that it prods companies to prioritize a customer over maximizing value for shareholders.President Donald Trump signed an executive order zeroing in on pay packages for executives at large defense contractors deemed to have underperformed on existing government contracts while chasing newer, bigger deals, according to the White House. At the same time, the order claims, these companies have bought back billions in stock, enriching both shareholders and executives.“Effective immediately, they are not permitted in any way, shape, or form to pay dividends or buy back stock, until such time as they are able to produce a superior product, on time and on budget,” the order, titled “Prioritizing the Warfighter in Defense Contracting,” states.The order further directs the Secretary of War to identify contractors that have underperformed the terms of their deals with the government and hatch a plan to resolve delays and production issues. If the resolution plan is insufficient, according to the secretary, future contracts will include provisions banning stock buybacks and dividends and will prohibit tying pay to “short-term financial metrics” such as free cash flow or earnings per share.Trump elaborated in a post on his messaging platform Truth Social last week, railing against pay packages in the defense industry, claiming they are “exorbitant and unjustifiable” given the delays in delivering military equipment. Until those issues are remediated, “no Executive should be allowed to make in excess of $5 Million Dollars which, as high as it sounds, is a mere fraction of what they are making now,” the president wrote.US oil lobby group backs repeal of climate rule for vehicles, not power plantsThe American Petroleum Institute supports the Environmental Protection Agency's proposal to repeal the foundation of greenhouse gas regulations for vehicles but not for power plants and other stationary industrial facilities."We would not support repealing the endangerment finding for stationary sources," API President Mike Sommers told reporters, adding that the trade group believes it has "the greatest standing" from a regulatory perspective and it is clear the EPA has authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from those sources.Judge: Trump violated Fifth Amendment by ending energy grants in only blue statesCourt Rules Trump DOE Violated the Constitution When It Cancelled Clean Energy Funding in Specific StatesAdministration Action Violated Constitutional Guarantee to Equal Protection Under the LawNorway Pushes Electric Vehicles to Nearly All New Car Sales in 2025Electric vehicles accounted for 95.9 percent of all new car registrations in Norway in 2025, rising to almost 98 percent in December, placing the country far ahead of global peers.A mix of targeted tax relief for low cost electric vehicles and rising charges on petrol and diesel cars has reshaped consumer demand and manufacturer strategy.Norway's approach contrasts with the wider European Union, where weaker demand has prompted a rollback of the planned 2035 ban on internal combustion engine vehicles.Meet autistic Barbie: the newest Mattel doll launched in line intended to celebrate diversityMattel said it developed the autistic doll over more than 18 months in partnership with the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, a nonprofit organization that advocates for the rights and better media representation of people with autismThe eyes of the new Barbie shift slightly to the side to represent how some people with autism sometimes avoid direct eye contact, he said. The doll also was given articulated elbows and wrists to acknowledge stimming, hand flapping and other gestures that some autistic people use to process sensory information or to express excitement, according to Mattel.The development team debated whether to dress the doll in a tight or a loose-fitting outfit, Pervez said. Some autistic people wear loose clothes because they are sensitive to the feel of fabric seams, while others wear figure-hugging garments to give them a sense of where their bodies are, he said. The team ended up choosing an A-line dress with short sleeves and a flowy skirt that provides less fabric-to-skin contact.The doll also wears flat shoes to promote stability and ease of movement, according to Mattel.Each doll comes with a pink finger clip fidget spinner, noise-canceling headphones and a pink tablet modeled after the devices some autistic people who struggle to speak use to communicate.Elon Musk's X Under UK Investigation Over Grok's Sexualized A.I.

What if the contract you didn't get was actually the answer to your prayer? In this episode, Eric Collett shares how he helps entrepreneurs and executives optimize their brain health to function at an elite level. His work goes upstream, identifying the trajectory decades before diseases like Alzheimer's show symptoms, because most people don't realize that Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases generally start decades before the first symptoms appear. Eric's team has developed the Enhance Protocol, helping clients improve brain function by 20-30% so they can learn faster, understand new technologies more rapidly, find words faster, have more stable mental health, and prevent cognitive decline to stay in the game longer. He reveals losing what would've been his biggest contract in Arizona. After two weeks of silence following a handshake agreement, he prayed: "If it's not the right thing, please don't let it happen." The CEO called to say they'd met nurse practitioner Randy Vawdrey who could actually reverse cognitive decline. Eric told them "You should work with Randy, that's a huge opportunity." Months later, Randy called to collaborate. They met at 6pm and talked until after midnight going through a Bible-sized stack of research. Within six months, Eric asked Randy to become his business partner, a relationship that put him through an intentional crash course in med school for years.   [00:05:20] Optimal Brain Health is Required Believes optimal brain health required for optimal results in business and life Brain is like hardware, everything we're learning and striving to do is like software Loading new software on crummy old dysfunctional hardware never gets great results Good brain health needed for better relationships, better business [00:06:00] Improving Brain Function by 20-30% Team developed organized system to identify root cause issues affecting brain performance Make specific recommendations, track objectively Help people improve brain function by 20-30% Can learn faster, understand new technologies more rapidly, find words faster, have more stable mental health [00:07:20] Who They Serve All ages: younger people with traumatic brain injuries, people in 30s with brain fog People 50-80 noticing things aren't what they used to be Especially focus on entrepreneurs and executives who want to function at elite level Most people miss opportunity to quantify it objectively instead of just guessing [00:10:00] Gary Plummer: From Doorknob to Stage Gary Plummer played linebacker for San Francisco 49ers, won Super Bowl ring Shortly after retiring, couldn't remember how to install doorknob (had done many times) Could go from zero to fighting mad at drop of hat, had to isolate from people Wouldn't drive on freeways, wouldn't travel without handler to meet at airport [00:11:20] The Transformation Eric's team helped take Gary's cognitive scores from 58th percentile to 86th percentile Several years later, now above average overall on tests Got to watch Gary step on stage at Forever Young Foundation event in Arizona Had quit speaking because he would lose train of thought, now presenting confidently [00:13:40] Alzheimer's Starts Decades Before Symptoms Nationally recognized expert, spoken in 39 of 50 states to healthcare professionals Alzheimer's and diseases like Parkinson's generally start decades before first symptoms We've grown up in "sick care system" that waits till you have serious problem 40-95% of Alzheimer's cases believed to be preventable [00:18:00] Think of Your Brain as a Boat When things are good, riding high in water, moving at top speed When not good, starting to take on water Common for people to get forgetful as they get older, but that's not normal, that's evidence of disease Brain health is never about one thing, it's multifactorial (80-100 things) [00:19:20] One Client: 68th to 99th Percentile Client is 42 years old, wrote LinkedIn article about experience Went from 68th percentile in cognitive functioning to 99th percentile Getting better results in life and business today Has lot more assurance he's changed trajectory for tomorrow [00:20:40] The Contract I Didn't Get Early 2017, started A Mind For All Seasons as solopreneur Opportunity to work with Arizona company designing memory care program for entire portfolio Met with owners, left with handshake agreement, supposed to get contract in couple days Couple days turned into more than two weeks [00:22:00] The Prayer Prayed: "I want this to happen, this would make my year" "If it's not the right thing, please don't let it happen" "I promise I will be grateful, I may not understand it, but I can be grateful in all things" Within day or two, CEO called [00:22:20] Meeting Randy Vawdrey CEO said they met nurse practitioner with advanced training in neurodegenerative diseases Randy had done fellowship with Dr. Bredesen at UCLA, Buck Institute for Research on Aging Dr. Bredesen's 2014 paper "Reversal of Cognitive Decline" showed 9 out of 10 patients with remarkable improvement Company said "We can't afford both Randy and you, we're going to work with Randy" [00:23:40] "You Should Work With Randy" Eric told them "You should, that's a huge opportunity, no one's doing that" They suggested "You should call Randy, he lives in Idaho like you do" Eric thought "I'm not gonna call Randy, I don't have time, I just lost biggest contract" Hustled for couple months [00:24:20] Randy Called Randy called out of the blue, said company wanted him to train staff "I'm a clinician, I don't do that, I want to explore collaborating" Eric was driving through Randy's part of state next week, said "Why don't we get together?"

Within six months Eric said "Randy, what are we doing dating? We need to work together" "Will you be my business partner? Let's go all in on this" All these years later still working together, still innovating Randy put Eric through intentional crash course in med school [00:26:00] The Education Every Friday and Monday morning at 7am for a few years, met for hour or two Randy taught Eric how to read labs, physiology and science behind everything Continued teaching ever since "Short of my own family, he has done more to affect my life than any human on the planet" [00:27:40] The Vision: Impact a Million Lives Current goal: impact another million lives in next two to three years Eight billion people on planet, everybody has brain, everybody needs optimal brain health Majority of Americans not metabolically healthy Alzheimer's nicknamed "diabetes of the brain" [00:32:40] Social Engagement Reduces Cognitive Decline From research standpoint, being more socially engaged reduces risk of cognitive decline Not only better in business and more joy in life, it's better for your brain Prioritizing relationships and being connected matters deeply for cognitive and mental health   KEY QUOTES "Diseases like Alzheimer's disease, which I'm a nationally recognized expert in. I've literally talked in 39 of the 50 states to healthcare professionals. Most people don't realize that Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's generally start decades before the first symptoms ever show up." - Eric Collett "I prayed and I literally said, I want this to happen. This would just make my year. If it's not the right thing, please don't let it happen, and I promise that I will be grateful. I may not understand it, but I can be grateful in all things." - Eric Collett "Being more socially engaged actually reduces the risk of cognitive decline. So not only are things better in business, and not only do you have more joy in life, it's actually better for your brain." - Eric Collett CONNECT WITH ERIC COLLETT

How can understanding neuroscience transform your decision-making and productivity? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Cherian Koshy, author of Neuro Giving: The Science of Donor Decision Making, for a thought-provoking conversation that explores how neuroscience, decision science, and generosity shape productivity, leadership, and burnout prevention. Cherian shares how decades of work in nonprofit leadership led him to uncover the hidden neurological drivers behind trust, motivation, and decision-making. Together, Gerald and Cherian unpack why humans are not rational beings but rationalizing ones, and how understanding the brain's shortcuts can immediately improve focus, energy management, and meaningful work. The conversation dives into reframing productivity, aligning work with purpose, avoiding burnout through intentional structure, and designing environments where creativity and collaboration thrive. Cherian explains how urgency and constant stress drain the brain, why rest and downtime are essential for creativity, and how leaders can build trust-based cultures that unlock collective intelligence.

THE MOVE TO BEIJING AND XI ZHONGXUN'S 1962 PURGE Colleague Joseph Torigian. This segment explains that the book title comes from Mao's praise of Xi Zhongxun for prioritizing the party despite suffering. It traces the family's move to Beijing, the birth of "favorite son" Xi Jinping, and the father's complex loyalty to Mao. Torigiandetails Xi Zhongxun's 1962 purge, which foreshadowed the Cultural Revolution; he was removed for supporting a novel about martyr Liu Zhidan, which Mao viewed as a challenge. NUMBER 12
