Open up some scientific papers, and you'll hear electroconvulsive therapy described as the most effective treatment for depression (especially very severe depression). But open up others, and you'll see it described as completely useless—and a sad indictment on a medical establishment who've completely failed to provide proper evidence on it. Not only that, but they've exposed patients to serious side effects, like memory loss, for no good reason.Who's right? In this episode, we look into the most controversial psychiatric treatment since lobotomy.NEXT WEEK: we'll follow this with an episode on another controversial psychiatric treament: antidepressants.On this week's episode we discussed the article “The Perks of Being a Mole Rat”, from our sponsor, Works in Progress magazine.

"Hey – So what do you do?” Why is it that we always default to work when we get this question. its like many of us have let our jobs become the center of how we see ourselves. This slowly happens to many of us, as work occupies more mental and emotional space.I asked 50 people in martech and operations how they stay happy under sustained pressure. This 3 part series – titled “50 Operators share the systems that keep them happy” explores each of these layers through the lived experience of operators who feel the same pressure you probably feel right now.Today we close out the series with part 3: meaning. We'll hear from 19 people and we'll cover:(00:00) - Teaser (01:08) - Intro / In This Episode (04:27) - Rich Waldron: Auditing Whether Work Is Actually Moving (06:49) - Samia Syed: Tracking Personal Growth (08:33) - Jonathan Kazarian: Tracking Growth Across Life Health and Work (10:11) - Kim Hacker: Choosing Roles With Daily Visible Impact (12:21) - Mac Reddin: Checking Work Against 3 Personal Conditions (14:11) - Chris Golec: Choosing Early Stage Building Work (15:19) - Hope Barrett: Feeding curiosity across multiple domains (17:45) - Simon Lejeune: Treating work like a game (19:52) - Ana Mourão: A mental buffer between noticing and doing (21:46) - Tiankai Feng: Anticipation planning (25:30) - István Mészáros: Choosing Who You Are When Work Ends (29:52) - Danielle Balestra: Feeding Interests Unrelated to Work (31:42) - Jeff Lee: Continuing to Build Personal Projects After the Workday Ends (33:23) - John Saunders: Keeping a builder practice outside of work (34:41) - Ashley Faus: Group Creative Rituals Outside of work (37:40) - Anna Aubucho: Maintaining a second self through solo creative practice (39:56) - Ruari Baker: Preserving Identity Through Regular Travel (42:15) - Guta Tolmasquim: Building a personal product roadmap (45:37) - Pam Boiros: Feeding identities that have nothing to do with work (47:52) - Outro All that and a bunch more stuff after a quick word from 2 of our awesome partners.A lot of the operators I chatted with don't talk about happiness like it suddenly arrives. They describe it as something you feel when things actually start to move. Our first guest gets there right away by tying happiness directly to progress, the kind that tells you you're not stuck.Rich Waldron: Auditing Whether Work Is Actually MovingFirst up is Rich Waldron, Co-founder and CEO at Tray.ai. He's also a dad, and a mediocre golfer.Progress sits at the center of Rich's definition of career happiness. He treats it as a felt sense rather than a dashboard metric. When work advances in a direction that makes sense to him, his energy steadies. When that movement slows or stalls, frustration surfaces quickly and spreads into everything else. That feeling becomes a cue to examine direction rather than effort.“Happiness is mostly driven by progress.”That framing resonates because it names something many operators struggle to articulate. Long hours can feel sustainable when the work moves forward. Light workloads can feel draining when days repeat without traction. Progress gives work narrative weight. It answers a quiet internal question about whether today connects to something that matters tomorrow.Rich also points to patterns that erode meaning over time.Roles with little challenge dull attention, even when the pay is generous.Constant activity without visible change breeds irritation that lingers after work ends.Both conditions interrupt momentum. The mind keeps searching for movement that never arrives. Rest stops working because unresolved motion occupies every quiet moment.Progress also shapes identity beyond work. When things move in the right direction, attention releases its grip on unfinished problems. Rich links that release to showing up better at home. He describes being more present as a parent because mental energy is no longer trapped in work that feels stuck. Forward motion restores proportion. Work keeps its place as one part of a full life rather than the dominant one.Balance emerges as a byproduct of this orientation. You choose problems that move. You notice when progress fades. You adjust before frustration hardens into burnout. That rhythm preserves meaning over long career arcs and keeps work aligned with the person you want to remain.Key takeaway: Track progress as a signal of meaning. When your work moves in a direction you respect, it stays contained, your identity stays intact, and the rest of your life receives the attention it deserves.Samia Syed: Tracking Personal GrowthThat's Samia Syed, Director of Growth Marketing at Dropbox.  She's also a mother, outdoor fanatic, and an avid hiker.Progress became the scorecard Samia relies on to keep her career from consuming her sense of self. Early professional years trained her to chase perfection, because perfection looked measurable, respectable, and safe. That mindset quietly tightened the frame around what counted as a good day. Effort increased, expectations rose with it, and satisfaction stayed elusive because the standard never settled.Progress creates a different rhythm. It shows up in motion you can recognize without squinting. Samia pays attention to signals that accumulate instead of reset:Teams moving forward together rather than cycling through urgency.People developing judgment and confidence over time.Personal growth that feels lived-in rather than optimized.A child learning, changing, and surprising you in ways no metric could predict.That framing matters because it ties work back to a broader life rather than isolating it. Progress carries meaning when it connects professional effort to personal identity. Samia talks about watching her daughter grow with the same care she gives to her team's evolution. Growth becomes something you witness and participate in, rather than something you chase or defend. That mindset keeps work from becoming the only place where worth gets measured.“Anchoring on perfection as your metric for happiness sets you up for unhappiness. Progress is where I find it now.”Many careers quietly reward polish over development and composure over learning. Progress resists that pressure by valuing direction and continuity. It leaves room for ambition while protecting a sense of self that exists beyond job titles. You still push forward, but you also recognize that your life holds meaning across roles, seasons, and relationships that no performance system can fully capture.Key takeaway: Track progress instead of perfection. Pay attention to growth across work and life, because meaning comes from seeing yourself develop over time, not from chasing a standard that keeps moving.Jonathan Kazarian: Tracking Growth Across Life Health and WorkThat's Jonathan Kazarian, Founder & CEO of Accelevents. He's also father and a frequent sailor.Jonathan keeps work from consuming his identity by actively measuring progress in more than one place at the same time. He pays attention to movement in business, health, and personal life, and he revisits those signals regularly. That habit creates distance between who he is and what he works on. Work becomes one lane of progress instead of the entire road.Growth carries real weight in his thinking because it shows up as momentum you can feel. He talks about forward movement as something tangible, the sense that effort today pushes life somewhere better tomorrow. Setbacks still happen, but they do not erase t...

#884 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/884 Presented By: Smitty's Fly Box, Montana Fly Fishing Lodge, FishHound Expeditions, TroutRoutes Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Progress in fly fishing often happens when you stop treating techniques as separate lanes and start combining them. In this episode, Brian DeLoach shares the hybrid system he's developed by blending Euro nymphing principles with heavy jig-style streamer fishing to efficiently target predatory fish. Brian explains why stout leaders and heavier rods protect fish during the fight, why drift matters more than tippet visibility, and how changing retrieves—including dead drifts, jig motions, and active strips—can trigger aggressive eats. If you've ever wondered how to fish streamers more efficiently without sacrificing control, this episode gives you a complete system to try. #884 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/884

Megan Flatt is the founder of Let's Collective, a business strategy firm helping entrepreneurs achieve more revenue, time, and fulfillment, without the hustle. Megan is also the author of Focused: Reclaim Your Time, Ditch Overwhelm, and Do Less Better, where she blends research and practical strategies to help people do less, better.

Learn more at letscollective.co If your weeks feel full but your biggest goals keep slipping, this episode gives you a repeatable planning process that protects your time, your energy, and your priorities even during busy or disruptive weeks. Weekly planning saves time, not wastes it: Intentional planning prevents task jumping and reactive work. Your calendar is the container, not your to-do list: You can only commit to what realistically fits. Set work hours before setting tasks: Clear boundaries reduce guilt and increase focus. Brain dumps clear mental clutter fast: Getting tasks out of your head improves decision-making. Buffer time is nonnegotiable: Planning 100 percent of your time guarantees burnout. Progress beats perfect weeks: Consistent review and adjustment is the system. Connect with Megan Flatt Website | Instagram

"Procurement is what you make of it. It can be a bargain basement function at some firms, but it's also becoming more strategic. We have to take a more holistic, integrated view of things and try to understand the big business problems we can help solve and then offer a business solution, not just a procurement solution." – Amit Saronwala, VP, Global Indirect Supply Management, Medtronic Procurement leaders in healthcare are feeling the heat: innovation cycles are tightening, supplier bases are vast, and new pressures on cost and cash flow are here to stay. So how do you build more agile, high-performing procurement teams without adding complexity or burning out your people? In this episode, Philip Ideson speaks with Amit Saronwala, VP of Global Indirect Supply Management at Medtronic, and Jeremy Lappin, CEO of Candex. Amit draws from his clinical experience and deep commercial expertise to share how Medtronic is recasting procurement's role by focusing on smarter supplier segmentation, business-centric metrics, and technology that makes friction disappear. Jeremy adds perspective from supporting global procurement teams at scale, revealing where automation and analytics can create breathing room for strategic work. This conversation takes a candid look at how one of healthcare's biggest names is making indirect procurement a critical lever for business value and what it takes to bring suppliers and stakeholders on the journey. In this episode, Amit and Jeremy discuss how procurement can: Set a clear line for strategic vs. transactional suppliers… and stick to it Speak "business" (not just "procurement") to increase influence with stakeholders Automate low-risk, high-volume purchases to free up valuable talent Choose tools that require little or no change management for smoother adoption Redefine procurement's core skillset for the next five years Links: Amit Saronwala on LinkedIn Jeremy Lappin on LinkedIn Subscribe to This Week in Procurement Subscribe to Art of Procurement on YouTube  

Feeling stuck despite tracking your macros, lifting consistently, and doing everything right? In this episode, Jaime unpacks the real reason your progress may have stalled—hint: it's not your effort, it's your execution. Learn the difference between strategy and reactivity, the biofeedback markers you should actually be tracking (sleep, digestion, hunger, strength), and how to build a system that creates real, sustainable fat loss and muscle gain. If you're tired of second-guessing every meal and training day, this episode will give you both the mindset reset and the metrics to finally move forward.If you're interested in more mindset and health hacks for overwhelmed women, find me on Instagram @jaimefilerfitness, or head to https://call.jaimefiler.com/form to learn more about the 16 week 3R Method

OVERVIEW: If you've ever felt like you need to be perfect to see results—and when you can't be, you fall completely off—this episode is for you. So many women approach their health journey with an all-or-nothing mindset: 100% effort or nothing at all. Perfect weeks or complete burnout. Strict plans followed by starting over… again. In today's episode, Ashley breaks down why this mindset is one of the biggest reasons women stay stuck, especially after 35—and why consistency at 40% is far more powerful than 100% followed by zero. You'll learn how chasing perfection sabotages fat loss, increases stress, and keeps you trapped in a cycle of extremes—and how shifting your mindset can finally unlock sustainable progress. What We Cover in This Episode: What the all-or-nothing mindset actually looks like in real life Why perfection feels productive—but rarely produces results How “on plan vs off plan” thinking fuels burnout and inconsistency Why showing up at 40% still counts—and compounds over time How stress, guilt, and unrealistic expectations impact progress What consistency really looks like in a busy, full life How to build momentum without waiting for the “perfect” week RESOURCES: Check out Episode 267: Become Her First: The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything: https://www.metabolicfix.com/podcasts/cheers-to-your-success/episodes/2149155164 Click here to schedule your FREE alignment call to see if my 1:1 coaching program is a good fit for you: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/7de98067/appointment/18062930/calendar/4677043?appointmentTypeIds%5B%5D=18062930 Email us at: Support@metabolicfix.com Click Here to learn more about my 1:1 coaching program https://metabolicfix.com/one Take My PHASE ASSESSMENT QUIZ HERE: https://www.metabolicfix.com/phase-quiz Follow Ashley on Instagram: @ashley_fillmore1 Want to see which one of my programs is the best for you?

Are your clients technically improving… but not actually moving forward? In this episode of The Financial Coaches Podcast, Cody and Maria unpack a subtle but powerful shift in strategy that has helped certain clients break out of stagnation and finally start making meaningful progress. Traditionally, Cody has taught clients to “backload” their goals — waiting until the end of the month to apply surplus toward debt, savings, or investing. And for many people, that works well. But for clients who struggle with consistency and spending habits, that structure can unintentionally keep them stuck. So what's the alternative? In this episode, you'll learn: The difference between backloading and frontloading financial goals Why some clients plateau even when they stop going backward How to identify which clients need a strategic shift The psychology behind “which hard would you rather choose?” How to balance risk with forward momentum When deeper mindset work is required (and not just a tactic tweak) This conversation is about more than cash flow timing. It's about knowing your client, recognizing patterns, and adjusting your coaching approach so progress actually sticks. Because sometimes the breakthrough isn't working harder. It's structuring the plan differently.

About Lewis Ross is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics. He is also the Director of LSE's Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science (CPNSS). Lewis works on different topics at the intersection between epistemology, philosophy of law, and political philosophy. Right now, he is particularly interested in the theory and practice of criminal justice. His PhD was from the University of St Andrews and before that he completed a law degree. Abstract Philosophy is much changed from the time that many of the analytic classics were produced. It now resembles, in many ways, a mature scientific discipline—with large division of cognitive labour. Big philosophical questions are routinely broken down into ever-smaller research questions and addressed in growing thousands of narrow publication units. Yet what purpose does this division of labour serve? Philosophers are notoriously sceptical about simply relying on each other's published findings. Indeed, most publications seem to add to, rather than reduce, philosophical disagreement. There is a looming worry about absurdity here. Large amounts of intellectual effort are spent on activities that seemingly do not contribute to settling the core questions of the field. In response to this worry, some are tempted by radical claims about the point of philosophy. For instance, some say that it is an ‘exceptional' field that does not aim to settle on knowledge or truth in the same way as other fields of inquiry. But this response, it seems to me, still leaves the structure of contemporary philosophy without justification. In this talk, I grapple with this problem and explore a more optimistic perspective. I consider a middle ground between two typical ways to think about philosophical progress: locating progress not in the mind of the individual, nor in the discipline as a whole, but rather in the small research communities that populate it.

L'Inde accueille à partir d'aujourd'hui le quatrième sommet mondial sur l'intelligence artificielle. Plus de cent pays, une trentaine de chefs d'État et tous les grands patrons de la tech mondiale sont réunis à New Delhi. Un événement d'ampleur qui confirme la montée en puissance spectaculaire de l'Inde dans la course mondiale à l'IA, au croisement des enjeux économiques, technologiques et géopolitiques. À partir d'aujourd'hui, la capitale indienne devient le centre de gravité de la planète tech en accueillant le quatrième sommet mondial sur l'intelligence artificielle. Plus de cent pays sont représentés, une trentaine de chefs d'État et de gouvernement ont fait le déplacement, et surtout, tous les grands dirigeants des géants de la technologie sont présents. Un casting impressionnant qui illustre une réalité : l'Inde s'est imposée comme l'un des épicentres mondiaux de l'IA. Et le pays peut s'appuyer sur des atouts considérables. Le premier est son réservoir de talents, sans équivalent ou presque. Chaque année, des centaines de milliers d'ingénieurs sortent des universités indiennes. Une dynamique nourrie par une tradition ancienne d'excellence mathématique et scientifique, qui alimente directement les performances du pays dans le numérique et les nouvelles technologies. Deuxième force : la démographie. L'Inde est aujourd'hui le pays le plus peuplé du monde. Sa population, jeune, dynamique et massivement connectée, représente à la fois un immense marché, un laboratoire d'innovation à grande échelle et, pour l'IA, une mine de données inestimable. Enfin, troisième pilier de cette ascension : la volonté politique. Depuis 2024, le gouvernement indien a lancé un vaste programme public destiné à bâtir une véritable infrastructure nationale de l'intelligence artificielle. L'IA est clairement identifiée comme un levier stratégique de croissance économique, de compétitivité et de souveraineté technologique. Des investissements massifs et un laboratoire pour le Sud global Cette stratégie ambitieuse attire logiquement les géants mondiaux de la tech. Microsoft a annoncé 17,5 milliards de dollars d'investissements dans le pays, Amazon 35 milliards, Google 15 milliards. Les partenariats se multiplient, les centres de recherche s'installent, et l'écosystème numérique indien se structure à grande vitesse. L'Inde est en passe de devenir le plus grand marché numérique en devenir au monde. Entre des marchés occidentaux arrivés à maturité et une Chine de plus en plus fermée, le pays s'impose comme un relais de croissance indispensable pour les multinationales du numérique. Mais l'Inde est aussi un terrain d'expérimentation unique. Si une solution technologique fonctionne à l'échelle indienne, elle est capable de s'imposer partout dans le Sud global. Le pays devient ainsi un laboratoire grandeur nature pour l'innovation inclusive. C'est précisément ce qui donne au sommet de New Delhi une dimension géopolitique majeure. L'Inde se positionne comme le porte-voix des pays du Sud global: Afrique, Amérique latine, Asie émergente. Ensemble, ces régions entendent peser dans les débats mondiaux sur la gouvernance de l'IA. Le message est clair : l'intelligence artificielle ne doit pas être confisquée par quelques puissances technologiques, mais bénéficier à l'ensemble de la planète. Face aux modèles américain, chinois et européen, l'Inde propose une quatrième voie, fondée sur des cadres adaptés aux besoins des pays en développement. Le sommet s'articule autour de trois thèmes clés : People, Planet, Progress – population, planète, progrès. Un triptyque qui résume l'ambition indienne : faire de l'IA un outil de développement durable, d'inclusion sociale et de croissance partagée. Des défis technologiques encore majeurs à relever Pour autant, l'Inde n'évolue pas encore dans la même catégorie que les États-Unis ou la Chine en matière d'intelligence artificielle de pointe. Ce sommet est à la fois un tremplin et un révélateur des défis auxquels le pays doit faire face. Sur le plan technologique, New Delhi souffre encore d'un certain retard. L'Inde ne dispose pas de grands modèles d'IA comparables à l'américain ChatGPT ou au chinois DeepSeek, ce qui limite pour l'instant son influence dans la course aux modèles fondamentaux. La question de la protection des données personnelles constitue également un enjeu sensible, dans un pays où l'explosion numérique pose des défis considérables en matière de régulation et de sécurité. Mais le principal point noir reste la fuite des cerveaux. Malgré le dynamisme local, de nombreux ingénieurs indiens continuent de partir massivement vers la Silicon Valley et les grands pôles technologiques occidentaux, attirés par de meilleures conditions salariales et des moyens de recherche plus importants. Dans un contexte de compétition mondiale féroce, la stratégie indienne repose sur un pari audacieux : faire mieux avec moins. Là où les grandes puissances occidentales misent sur des investissements colossaux, l'Inde cherche à transformer ses contraintes en avantage comparatif, en combinant talents, innovation frugale et marché intérieur gigantesque. Un pari qui commence à porter ses fruits et qui pourrait bien, à terme, rebattre les cartes de la géopolitique mondiale de l'intelligence artificielle.

I made updates in each page on Ravelry to add skein information. You can enter length and weight and it add that to your stash.  I also ended up changing the names of the finished projects to include the weight and length! I wrote yarn weight (dk sport etc) on physical tags i have on the yarn. So much easier for me to work with.   Brainstorming I have 3 skeins of Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool that I used to start a Waverly Cardigan (but the gauge is just too tight)- click here for my Ravelry Project Page. I think it might be good for the Lakes Pullover by Ozetta (Ravelry Pattern- $8 knitting pattern). I found this by searching the yarn on ravelry then doing the advance pattern search to look for sweaters people knit with this yarn.

How do you deal with the emotional toll of living in a time of dissolution? Social scientists use the term "polycrisis" to describe the kind of cascading, overlapping failures that can lead to systemic collapse, and it's hard not to see the symptoms of a dying world order in events unfolding around us.  But maybe what we're witnessing is actually grounds for hope. In a forthcoming book "The Beginning Comes After the End," writer and activist Rebecca Solnit makes the case that something is dying, all right — because something better is being born. A rising worldview that embraces antiracism, feminism, environmental thinking, Indigenous and non-Western ideas, and a vision of a more interconnected, compassionate world.  Solnit is an engaged writer and intellectual in the tradition of Barbara Ehrenreich, Susan Sontag and George Orwell. Her new book picks up where her earlier bestseller “Hope in the Dark”  left off — with an argument against despair and historical amnesia. In this conversation, we explore the extraordinary scale of progressive social, political, scientific and cultural change over the past century, the roots of Solnit's stance of “pragmatic, embodied hope,” her thoughts on “moral wonder, “ and her years in San Francisco's underground punk rock scene.  She also tells us what she'd put in our own wonder cabinet: an AIDS Memorial Quilt square sewn by Rosa Parks.  — To The Best Of Our Knowledge — Tending a wartime garden: what Orwell's fascination with roses tells us about the human need for beauty  Rebecca Solnit's newsletter  Pre-order “The Beginning Comes After the End," due out March 3, 2026.  —00:00:00 Introduction 00:04:00 A Land Back Ceremony 00:08:05 Progress in Disguise 00:18:35 Hope and Interconnection 00:29:45 Defiant Hope—Wonder Cabinet is hosted by Anne Strainchamps and Steve Paulson.Find out more about the show at wondercabinetproductions.com, where you can subscribe to the podcast and our newsletter.  Wonder Cabinet is hosted by Anne Strainchamps and Steve Paulson.

In this special Q&A episode of The Celebrate Kids Podcast, Wayne and Dr. Kathy answer real questions from Christian school leaders and teachers at Linville Hill Christian School in Paradise, Pennsylvania and Hillcrest Academy in Minnesota. These questions aren't theoretical. They come from classrooms, dorm rooms, and dinner tables. Here's what they tackle: How do we teach empathy, especially toward students who are hard to love? Dr. Kathy explains that empathy begins with self-awareness. If children can't identify and manage their own feelings, they will struggle to recognize others' emotions. Discernment matters. Service matters. Prayer matters. And sometimes empathy grows not by fixing someone's pain, but by simply acknowledging it. Are we fooling ourselves about technology addiction? Screens are addictive. The dopamine cycle is real. But the deeper issue isn't just devices, it's the lies we attach to them: "I deserve to be happy all the time." "I need constant choice." "I'm the center." Technology amplifies those lies. The solution is formation. Sabbaths. Boundaries. Stewardship. Teaching children that they are created on purpose and cannot afford to waste their time. What about kids using AI to write their papers? This isn't just about cheating. It continues our conversation about formation. Writing is not simply information transfer; it is character development. Wrestling with ideas, revising drafts, struggling through clarity, that's where growth happens. AI might save time. But what if the point wasn't speed? The question becomes: What kind of human are we forming in our writing? How do we help perfectionist students who freeze under pressure? Perfectionism often grows from home culture. It can reflect unrealistic expectations, fear of mistakes, or conditional approval. Dr. Kathy reminds us: Perfect has already been done. His name is Jesus. Progress matters more than flawlessness. Struggle builds endurance, character, and hope. Perfectionism paralyzes. Grace frees. Why should we let kids struggle? Because resilience only grows through recovery. James 1 and Romans 5 remind us that perseverance produces character. If we rescue children too quickly, we risk raising fragile adults. Victory after struggle builds deep confidence. Struggle isn't failure. It's formation. So, this episode is packed with practical wisdom to guide kids and parents to deeper faith and stronger conviction. If you'd like to bring Dr. Kathy to your school, church, or community, visit CelebrateKids.com and click "Book Dr. Kathy." Have a question you'd like answered in a future Q&A episode? Email Wayne at wayne@celebratekids.com. We're grateful you're here. And we're honored to help you celebrate kids well.

In this solo episode, Travis Chappell breaks down why most people aren't actually lost — they're just distracted. Drawing from over 1,500 podcast episodes, hundreds of guest appearances, and years of studying high performers, Travis shares hard-earned lessons on focus, responsibility, and building momentum in a noisy world. This episode is a straight-talk deep dive into why focus is the new superpower — and how simplifying your path can radically change your results. On this episode we talk about: Why distraction — not lack of opportunity — is holding most people back Taking responsibility for your life instead of blaming circumstances The “rider, elephant, and path” framework for building better habits How shiny object syndrome sabotages entrepreneurs Why doing less (but better) creates bigger results Top 3 Takeaways Focus is the ultimate competitive advantage. In a world full of noise, the ability to concentrate on one thing until it succeeds is a superpower. You can't control everything — but you can control your environment. Design your “path” to remove distractions so better decisions become automatic. Progress comes from commitment, not novelty. Whether in business or life, jumping paths feels exciting — but staying the course is what actually produces results. Notable Quotes “Most people aren't lost — they're just distracted.” “Distraction is the enemy of progress, and focus is the competitive advantage.” “Don't do more.

Star Terk Continues to chance the world

This week, I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Dr. Krista Fazio, a Doctor of Physical Therapy based in Portugal to discuss the evolving role of physical therapy, the importance of strength and mobility for longevity and pain reduction, and the rise of female practitioners.Train like an athlete. Move better. Feel stronger.
Dr. K is a Doctor of Physical Therapy based in Portugal who represents the modern evolution of her profession. Working with clients across performance, rehabilitation, and longevity, her work focuses on restoring strength, mobility, and resilience so people can return not just to baseline—but to capability.Her company, FitPhysio, Krista provides cutting-edge, science-backed rehab and training programs to clients both online and in-person. Her approach blends the best of physical therapy and strength training to help a wide range of clients... from professional athletes to individuals looking to rebuild strength, and optimize their movement for longevity. Krista's philosophy is simple but powerful: build strength and mobility to protect your joints, reduce pain, and preserve your body for the long run. Whether you're looking to get back to sport, stay pain-free, or simply move better in daily life, Krista delivers the expertise and personalized care to help you get there.What most people interpret as “tightness” is often weakness. The nervous system restricts motion when it senses instability. Build strength in those ranges, and the body unlocks pain-free movement.Krista does not adhere to the insurance-driven physical therapy model that prioritizes heat, ice, and temporary relief- Instead, her approach is active, progressive, and system-wide. Low back pain is rarely just a back issue. Hip instability, poor foot mechanics, rib positioning, weak glutes—everything connects. Treat the body as a system, not a symptom.Dr. Fazio has also embraced online care, demonstrating that effective assessment, coaching, and accountability can be delivered globally. In many cases, remote therapy increases ownership—clients see themselves move, understand their patterns, and take responsibility for progress.Her message is consistent: build strength. Train mobility with control. Strengthen the glutes. Stabilize the core. Progress deliberately. Longevity is not accidental—it is trained.This conversation is about modernizing physical therapy, reclaiming responsibility for your body, and building a structure that holds up under stress—for sport, for life, and for decades to come

Episode Summary In this fast-paced episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into what it really takes to find success as a business coach—mindset, habits, and strategy. Karl unpacks the psychology of consistently getting clients, the myths of overnight success, and how to bulletproof your business career through discipline, focus, and helping others first. Practical frameworks, lessons from millionaires, and a "moment of zen" make this episode a blueprint for leveling up your coaching or entrepreneurial journey. Key Topics Covered Mindset and The Power of Identity The hosts stress that your internal story and self-identity dramatically impact your success more than any tactic or system, urging coaches to affirm: "Getting clients is easy, getting clients is fun." Repetition and positive self-talk are powerful tools; cultivating the right mindset is foundational. Lead Generation as a Science Karl insists lead generation isn't as hard as it seems—it's a matter of discipline and consistency ("30 cold calls a day"). The game is about setting targets you can actually hit and compounding effort daily, not chasing instant results. Embracing Detours and the Reality of the Journey The path to success is never a straight line. There will always be pain, uncertainty, and constant work regardless of your level. Coaches must learn to enjoy the process, be resilient to setbacks, and stay focused on the big goal—a recurring theme throughout. Networking and Building Local Networks The richest individuals and biggest companies succeed by building invaluable networks, not just businesses. Hosting local events, forming joint ventures, and visibility in the community are vital for creating scalable opportunities. Serving First and The Right Reasons for Outreach The most effective outreach comes from a place of genuinely wanting to help, not just needing a client. Focus on delivering value—even a cold call can be transformative if the intent is service. The Compounding Advantage of Habits Consistency and focus (making daily calls, hosting regular events) lead to outcomes that compound over time—just like in the gym. Overcoming Self-Sabotage and Procrastination Coaches must address self-sabotage head-on ("The Mountain Is You" concept), replace negative flywheels with positive routines, and maintain discipline especially when motivation fades. Notable Quotes "You can't change who you are until you change who you think you are." "Lead generation is not that hard. It's more scientific than anything else you'll do in coaching." "The crazy ones make all the money." "Decide what you want, be dogmatic about your destination—and flexible about how you get there." "Build a business you could sell tomorrow, but don't want to." "Pain, uncertainty, constant work—those are the constants at every level." Actionable Takeaways Network Ruthlessly: Run weekly local events, form alliances, and put yourself "in play" to multiply your influence and authority. Serve Before You Sell: Always call or reach out with the intent to help, not just close a client; fix their real problems, not just your revenue needs. Bulletproof Your Lead Gen: Set a realistic, daily outreach target (e.g., 25-30 calls) and stick to it, especially on tough days. Progress compounds. Define Success—and Focus Relentlessly: Know exactly what you want (monthly income, number of clients, events per week) and use clear targets—don't just chase vague goals. Address Self-Sabotage Directly: Read "The Mountain Is You," reflect on your emotional flywheel, and turn self-awareness into positive habits. Face what holds you back. Embrace the Journey: Accept that setbacks are inevitable, but also necessary for developing resilience and mastery. Your growth lies in the day-to-day challenges.

We expected the Senate vote on H.J. Res. 140, which would overturn the 20-year mining ban protecting the BWCA, to occur this week, but it was postponed until after their upcoming recess. The vote could be as early as February 23rd. This gives us more time to contact Senators and ask them to vote no on this resolution. I've been posting plenty of resources and scripts to do this on our Instagram @outdoor.minimalist.book, but will also be including additional resources for this issue and others in our weekly newsletter at theoutdoorminimalist.com This week, we are focusing on developments in Alaska. About 60% of Alaska is public land. That's over 200 million acres. All of that land in Alaska faces immediate and intensified threats from expanded oil, gas, and mineral development and the dangers of climate change. So much is happening in that one state alone, we wanted to take the time to highlight two of the largest issues the state is facing today: the Ambler Road project and the Tongass National Forest under the Roadless Rule. To help explain the severity of these threats is lifelong Alaskan, Bjorn Dihle. Bjorn lives in Juneau with his family, where he works as a wildlife guide and freelance multimedia professional focused on conservation.

Is Abundance Inevitable? A 100-Year Vision with McKinsey's Chris Bradley What if the "Black Mirror" version of the future is wrong? In this episode, Mike Palmer talks with Chris Bradley, Senior Partner at McKinsey and Director of the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), about his new book, A Century of Plenty: A Story of Progress for Generations to Come. Chris breaks down the "Machine of Progress" and explains why a "strategic optimism" mindset is essential for navigating the next century. We explore a future where global prosperity could reach Swiss standards, the radical shifts in our demographics, and why AI might actually make us more human. Key Takeaways:

In this clinician-focused episode of The Light Inside, Jeffrey Besecker sits down with Lincoln Stoller to explore how moral gating, progress narratives, and interpretive intrusion quietly shape the therapeutic encounter. Drawing from embodied tracking, neural imprinting, pacing, and relational attunement, this conversation moves beyond technique into the lived tension between guidance and control, confusion and clarity, progress and presence.Together, they examine how unconscious and subconscious patterns surface in the therapy room—especially at the edge point where shame, guilt, and identity defense activate. What happens when the therapist becomes the canvas for projection? When does “progress” become moral pressure? And how do we track rupture before it becomes relational collapse?This episode is grounded in the live exchange between Jeffrey and Lincoln, highlighting the nuanced interplay of boundary, capacity, and commitment in real time .Guest Highlight:Lincoln Stoller is a therapist and educator whose work integrates hypnotherapy, neurofeedback, and experiential reframing, inviting clients into generative confusion as a pathway to change.Three Core TakeawaysProgress vs. PresenceThe drive for forward movement can subtly become moral pressure—both for therapist and client. Tracking embodied cues helps differentiate authentic movement from identity-driven urgency.Moral Gating at the EdgeShame and guilt often surface at the boundary of growth. Without careful pacing and attunement, therapeutic direction can inadvertently reinforce the very defenses it seeks to soften.Relational Field AwarenessSubtle cues—eye aversion, breath shifts, withdrawal—signal rupture before narrative explanation does. Regulation and sequencing matter more than insight alone.Timestamp00:03 – Framing the Conversation04:30 – Client Story vs. Therapeutic Direction17:55 – Progress, Suggestion, and Intrusion24:48 – Tracking Rupture in Real Time32:15 – The Edge of Capacity38:33 – Therapist Identity & Fixing45:42 – Embodied Tracking & Neural Imprinting59:12 – Live Relational Processing1:04:02 – “You Are Allowed to Moralize”Why This Episode MattersFor trauma-informed clinicians, supervisors, and advanced practitioners, this dialogue illuminates how easily therapeutic intention can slide into subtle moralization—and how relational attunement, pacing, and embodied awareness restore coherence within the field.If your work involves navigating shame, rupture, identity threat, or high-performing clients who resist vulnerability, this conversation offers a nuanced lens into how growth actually unfolds—at the edge.CreditsHost: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest: Lincoln StollerExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.

Big goals can feel heavy when the path is slow and unclear.  A mindset that treats the journey as training instead of proof of failure changes how each day feels.  You get practical ways to use will, persistence, and simple checkpoints to move through messy seasons with more energy, confidence, and room for new adventures instead of quitting early.  Progress starts to look like a path you can actually live with.

Yet another week in the blender to unpack, as Austin State Rep. and new Progress Texas endorsee Vikki Goodwin joins us to announce an initiative to limit the encroachment of ICE into our neighborhoods, and give us an update on her campaign for Lieutenant Governor. Plus a discussion of Trump's new all-out assault on the environment, the ridiculous airspace lockdown of El Paso, and the needlessly-difficult death of actor and Austin resident James Van Der Beek. Lots to unpack - thanks for the hang.Learn more about our board's endorsement of Rep.

“History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” Mark Twain's words remind us that the past is a guidebook, not a relic. In today's episode, “The Human Work of Progress: Reflections on Dr. King's Legacy,” Jacquette explores how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s radical reimagination of America was far more than hope; it was strategy, courage, and a refusal to accept the default.Reimagination is often the first act of change. It asks us to question norms, challenge the status quo, and examine what we truly value. Jacquette reflects on the endurance and experimentation that fueled the Civil Rights Movement, and how Dr. King understood that progress was never linear and never achieved through a single act.She invites listeners to take a lesson from his legacy: the How and the When matter just as much as the What. When you honor all three, you move with intention, resilience, and clarity—especially in the moments that test you most.Tune in and let Dr. King's examples strengthen your own path forward.Want More?

Four years after our original antibiotic myth-busting episode (Ep 60), we're back with Dr Riati Scarborough to talk antibiotic prescribing habits. This time we're joined by fellow stewardship expert Dr Laura Hardefeldt, and this time we're asking the harder question: Have we actually changed?The good news? Some prescribing habits are shifting. We're seeing shorter courses and less ‘just in case antibiotic usage. But let's not pat ourselves on the back too quickly. Because some of our most entrenched habits are still alive and well, like how we treat skin disease, and our ongoing love affair with amoxiclav.This episode is a practical, clinically grounded update on what the evidence says in 2026 - and how to make realistic changes without compromising patient care.We cover:Why skin disease remains the single biggest driver of antimicrobial resistance in small animal practice, and what to do about itAmoxicillin vs amoxiclav: when de-escalation is not just safe, but smarterWhy convenience (you know the brand we're talking about right…) is not a clinical indicationTrimethoprim-sulphonamide and the real story on KCS riskDentals, heart murmurs, and what prophylaxis actually looks like in 2026Simple in-clinic stewardship strategies that genuinely shift prescribing behaviourThis isn't about perfection.

On today's episode, I'm sitting down solo to answer a question submitted by a listener named Rachel about how to transition away from calorie and macro tracking without losing progress. Food logging can be incredibly effective for both weight loss and maintenance because it helps you be intentional and specific with your choices. Because of that, many women start to wonder how it is possible to maintain results without tracking. In this episode, I break down 5 practical tips to help you transition from tracking your food to a more intuitive, flexible approach without gaining weight. I also share unfiltered insights from over a decade of coaching women through this exact transition. We'll talk about what actually works, what does not, and why your fitness identity is often overlooked but critically important when it comes to long term success without tracking.

Last week, our Client Seat episode featured me coaching Michelle through feeling out of control with her money after moving to Guatemala. The cash system felt chaotic. Multiple accounts, inconsistent tracking, and no clear rhythm for how money moved. She wanted stability back.This week, I'm showing you what was happening on my side of that conversation. The coaching decisions I was making while listening and what I chose to prioritize and intentionally left alone. When you don't know the client's context, when the situation is completely unfamiliar, you can still lead a session that creates real progress.This isn't about having all the answers, because we never will. It's about helping the client find clarity. Four specific observations from that session show how to guide someone toward that clarity when the path isn't obvious to either of you yet.Links & Resources:Join the Facebook groupFinancial Coaching EssentialsEpisode 133: Coaching session with Mary AnnClient Seat applicationKey Takeaways:Targeted focus narrows the conversation and reduces overwhelm. When a client's situation feels chaotic, ask: Where does it feel most out of control right now?Not knowing something doesn't remove your authority as a coach, but pretending does. Name what you don't know and stay present as the guide.Progress happens in layers. Stabilization comes before optimization. Solving one thing well creates momentum for what comes next.Your clients can be the expert on context while you remain the expert on process. True collaboration happens when you share the stage.When clients feel scattered, optimization adds pressure. Stabilization gives them room to breathe, refine, and improve from a solid foundation.Limited scope isn't a weakness. Framing realistic progress as a win builds trust and creates buy-in during the session.Predictability before perfection. Give clients something concrete they can work with right now, not everything they could eventually do.
