Someone asked if I felt less certain but more at peace with my faith, and it got me thinking. Maybe "peace" isn't quite right; perhaps it's more about patience and accepting what I can't control. My focus feels drawn to the essentials: being present with my family, teaching my kids, my work, and loving my people. Join me and Erin H. Moon, bestselling author, podcaster, and storyteller who helps people disentangle faith, as we discuss this complex topic. When it comes to big spiritual questions, I often find myself without definitive answers. Pretending otherwise feels inauthentic. I'm learning that it's about being honest about what I don't know and finding comfort in the relationship I do have.

Sino-US talks over the weekend were described by US Treasury Secretary Bessent as making “substantial progress” on trade. Presumably so important a comment was cleared by US President Trump. The only real issue investors care about is how far the US will retreat on trade taxes. Current tariffs effectively halt bilateral trade. An 80% tariff (suggested by Trump) would also effectively halt bilateral trade. A tax of 20% would damage the US economy, but allow trade to continue.

Before Google Maps. Before smartphones. Before Silicon Valley gave mobile a second thought — the Blumberg brothers were strapping GPS units to PalmPilots and piping real estate data through them. In this episode, Nick Smoot sits down with Brad and Eric Blumberg, the underdog inventors who quietly pioneered location-based real estate search and filed the first patents that would later shape the mobile experience we take for granted.From living a few blocks apart in Jersey to battling billion-dollar giants over the definition of “proximate,” the brothers share their wild ride through invention, patent wars, early startup life, and building trust with major partners before “startup” was even a cultural word.This one's about grit, timing, vision — and being early enough that people thought you were crazy.They were the first to hack GPS and mobile devices to make real estate location-aware.At a time when telecom was obsessed with “minutes,” they were shouting: “It's about data.”Selling a vision is often harder than building the tech.They faced deep skepticism from insiders who couldn't see the future — yet.Real innovation demands a shift in perception — and persistence when no one's clapping yet.They proved you could shop for homes on a tiny screen long before Zillow or Redfin.Innovation often starts by refusing to follow the rules everyone else takes for granted.They stuck to their vision even through lawsuits, economic downturns, and tech shifts.Progress doesn't happen in a straight line — it's messy, hard, and worth it.At the center of it all: understanding real user needs, not just market trends.Check out AstorKey, their newest innovation using encrypted, decentralized data to rethink how mortgages are done — without giving up your identity to the internet forever.

Share your scars and your journey.You'll be judged anyway, so share what's TRUE.Real > Polished. Activated energy > high production.Be polarizing. You're not pizza—you don't need to please everyone.Sean built a multimillion-dollar brand just speaking into his iPhone. No camera crew. No fancy edits.

In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host Ted Phaeton engages with high-performance coach Greg Denning, who shares his transformative journey from a troubled youth to a successful family man and leader. Denning discusses the importance of self-improvement, creating a 'do not do' list for success, and the challenges he faced while leaving home at 16. He emphasizes the need for men to embrace discomfort, build resilience, and strive for personal growth while maintaining strong family values. TakeawaysThe pursuit of potential is a continuous journey.Progress equals happiness, not destination.Many men feel they are not good enough.Purpose is something we create, not find.The 'when and then' mentality hinders action.High achievers often struggle with internal blocks.Beliefs shape our actions and results.Discipline is key to high performance.Standards determine the quality of our work.Stillness allows for powerful action and reflection. Meditation can feel uncomfortable due to the overwhelming number of thoughts we have.We often avoid pain rather than seeking pleasure, which affects our perception of experiences.Being fully present can help us appreciate the world around us.Stillness is essential for achieving inner peace and calm.Many people feel they are 'doing it wrong' regarding mindfulness practices.Compartmentalization can lead to chaos in different areas of life.Success can be redefined to include joy and fulfillment, not just achievement.The cost of unchecked ambition can be high, including divorce and mental health issues.Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.You don't have to hit rock bottom to initiate change in your life.Chapters00:18 - Introduction to the Modern Man Podcast01:17 - Adam Smith: The High Performance Coach02:16 - The Pursuit of Potential04:13 - Understanding Purpose and Progress07:07 - The 'When and Then' Mentality09:18 - Internal Blocks for High Achievers12:07 - The Role of Beliefs and Standards15:24 - Discipline and High Performance20:14 - The Importance of Stillness23:59 - The Challenge of Meditation and Mindfulness27:31 - The Importance of Stillness for Inner Peace30:10 - Compartmentalization and Its Impact on Life35:43 - The High Cost of Unchecked Ambition38:56 - Redefining Success: Finding Joy and PurposeDenning's Links Website: formidablefamilyman.comInstagram: greg.denning/YouTube: gregdenningPodcast: formidablefamilyman.comFree eBook Here: Mastering Self-Development: Strategies of the New Masculine: https://rebrand.ly/m2ebook ⚔️JOIN THE NOBLE KNIGHTS MASTERMIND⚔️https://themodernmanpodcast.com/thenobleknights

In this Allison Larkin interview, we discuss writing Home of the American Circus and the creative writing routines that have transformed her life with ADHD.This week, I'm talking with my friend and bestselling author Allison Larkin about her latest novel, Home of the American Circus.

Freya must return home after a financial emergency in this beautiful family drama. The house she's returned to is crumbling, and the relationships are even more so. But when she discovers her 15-year-old niece secretly living there, she unravels her past and reimagines what healing might look like.In this warm conversation, Allison and I discuss:

In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, host Kirsten Howe and associate attorney Jessica Colbert continue their discussion on estate planning during divorce proceedings with practical solutions. Following their previous episode on the potential problems that can arise if someone becomes incapacitated or dies during divorce, they now focus on preventative measures. The attorneys explain how to ensure your soon-to-be ex-spouse doesn't maintain control over your healthcare decisions or inherit your assets contrary to your wishes. They discuss the creation of new healthcare directives, powers of attorney, wills, and trusts—all while navigating the automatic temporary restraining orders (ATROs) that restrict asset transfers during divorce. This episode, part two of their divorce series, provides clear guidance on proper timing of estate planning updates during divorce to protect yourself legally before the process is finalized.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 2:03 How to avoid having your spouse be responsible for you if incapacitated 2:26 Next, Kirsten and Jessica discuss options for those who have never created estate planning documents 2:48 What should you do if you already have documents naming your spouse? 3:16 Now, let's talk about how to prevent your spouse from inheriting if you die before the divorce is final 5:23 What are the next steps for clients who already have a joint trust with their spouse? 6:07 Let's clarify the importance of following trust-specific revocation methods and requirements during divorce 7:44 Finally, listen as Kirsten and Jessica talk about why accepting potential probate may be necessary and worth it

In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, host Kirsten Howe and associate attorney Jessica Colbert discuss critical estate planning considerations during divorce proceedings. They explore what happens if someone becomes incapacitated or dies while their divorce is still pending, revealing potentially unwelcome consequences if proper planning isn't in place. The discussion highlights how existing estate plans typically name a spouse as the primary decision-maker and beneficiary—a designation most divorcing individuals would want to change immediately. Without written estate plans, the situation becomes even more complicated, potentially requiring expensive and contentious conservatorship proceedings for incapacity or following intestacy laws upon death that would likely favor the soon-to-be ex-spouse. This episode, part one of a two-part series, emphasizes that you remain legally married until a judge finalizes your divorce, meaning all existing estate planning designations remain in effect unless proactively changed.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 2:10 What happens if you become incapacitated during divorce with a written estate plan 2:52 The consequences of becoming incapacitated without a written estate plan during divorce 3:28 Brief explanation of the conservatorship process and why it should be avoided 5:03 What happens if you die before your divorce is finalized 5:12 Death without a written estate plan during divorce: intestacy and its complications 6:29 How existing written estate plans remain in effect until the divorce is finalized 6:48 The bottom line: You remain legally married until a judge says otherwise

Episode Summary Afreenish Amir, Ph.D., Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Project Director at the National Institute of Health in Pakistan, highlights significant increases in extensively drug-resistant typhoid and cholera cases in Pakistan and discusses local factors driving AMR in Asia. She describes the development and implementation of a National Action Plan to combat AMR in a developing country, emphasizing the importance of rational antimicrobial use, surveillance and infection control practice. Ashley's Biggest Takeaways AMR is a global and One Health issue. Pakistan has a huge disease burden of AMR. Contributing factors include, but are not limited to, overcrowding, lack of infection control practices, poor waste management practices and over-the-counter prescription practices. Promoting the rational use of antimicrobials is imperative at all levels—from tertiary care to primary care practitioners. Typhoid and cholera are high-burden infections in Pakistan, with typhoid being a year-round issue and cholera being seasonal. A holistic approach, involving various sectors and disciplines, is necessary in order to address the global AMR threat. Amir highlights the need for better communication and collaboration to bridge gaps and build trust between different organizations. Featured Quotes: I've been working at the National Institutes of Health for the last 7 years now. So, I've been engaged in the development and the implementation of the national action plan on AMR, and that gave me the opportunity to explore the work in the field of antimicrobial resistance. Reality of AMR in Pakistan [Pakistan] is an LMIC, and we have a huge disease burden of antimicrobial resistance in the country right now. A few years back, there was a situational analysis conducted, and that has shown that there is presence of a large number of resistant pathogens within the country. And National Institutes of Health, they have started a very standardized surveillance program based upon the global antimicrobial use and surveillance system back in 2017. And [those datasets have] generated good evidence about the basic statistics of AMR within the country. So, for example, if I talk about the extensively drug-resistant typhoid, typhoid is very much prevalent in the country. Our data shows that in 2017 there were 18% MDR typhoid cases through the surveillance data. And in 2021 it was like 60%. So that has shown that how the resistance has increased a lot. A number of challenges are associated with this kind of a thing, overcrowded hospitals, poor infection prevention and control (IPC) measures. So, there is AMR within the country—there's a huge burden—and we are trying to look for the better solutions.  Local Factors Driving AMR Bacteria, they do not know the borders. We have a close connection with the other Asian countries, and we have a long border connected with the 2 big countries, which are Afghanistan and India and Bangladesh and China. So, we see that it's not limited to 1 area. It's not regional. It's also a history of travel. When the people travel from one area to the other, they carry the pathogen as a colonizer or as a carrier, and they can infect [other] people. So, it's really connected, and it's really alarming as well. You never know how the disease is transmitted, and we have the biggest example of COVID—how things have spread from 1 country to the other, and how it has resulted in a massive pandemic. AMR is similar. We have seen that it's not limited to 1 region. We are part of this global community, and we are contributing somehow to the problem. First, I'll talk about the health care infrastructure. We do have the capacities in the hospitals, but still, there's a huge population. Pakistan is a thickly populated country. It's a population of around 241 million. And with the increasing population, we see that the infrastructure has not developed this much. So now the existing hospitals are overcrowded, and this has led to poor infection control practices within the hospitals. The staff is not there. In fact, ID consultants are not available in all the hospitals. Infection control nurses are not available in all the hospitals. So, this is one of the main areas that we see, that there is a big challenge. The other thing that can contribute is the poor waste management practices. Some of the hospitals—private and public sectors—they are following the waste management guidelines—even the laboratories. But many of the hospitals are not following the guidelines. And you know that AMR is under one health. So, whatever waste comes from the hospital eventually goes to the environment, and then from there to the animal sector and to the human sector. [Another big] problem that we are seeing is the over-the-counter prescription of antimicrobials. There is no regulation available in the country right now to control the over-the-counter prescription of antibiotics. They are easily available. People are taking the antibiotics without a prescription from the doctors, and the pharmacist is giving the patients any kind of medicine. And either it is effective/not effective, it's a falsified, low-quality antibiotic for how long in duration antibiotic should be taken. So, there are multiple of things or reasons that we see behind this issue of AMR. Rational Use of Antimicrobials It is a complex process how we manage this thing, but what we are closely looking at in the country right now is that we promote the rational use of antimicrobials at all levels—not only at the tertiary care levels, but also at the general practitioner level. They are the first point of contact for the patients, with the doctors, with the clinicians. So, at this point, I think the empirical treatment needs to be defined, and they need to understand the importance of this, their local antibiograms, what are the local trends? What are the patterns? And they need to prescribe according to those patterns. And very recently, the AWaRE classification of WHO, that is a big, big support in identifying the rational use of antimicrobials—Access, Watch and Reserve list—that should be propagated and that should be understood by all the general practitioners. And again, I must say that it's all connected with the regulations. There should be close monitoring of all the antibiotic prescriptions, and that can help to control the issue of AMR. National Action Plan on AMR So, when I joined NIH, the National Election plan had already been developed. It was back in 2017, and we have a good senior hierarchy who has been working on it very closely for a long period of time. So, the Global Action Plan on AMR, that has been our guiding document for the development of the national action plan on AMR, and we are following the 5 strategic objectives proposed in the global action plan. The five areas included: The promotion of advocacy and awareness in the community and health care professionals. To generate evidence through the data, through the surveillance systems. Generation of support toward infection prevention and control services IPC. Promoting the use of antimicrobials both in the human sector and the animal sector, but under the concept of stewardship, antimicrobial consumption and utilization. Invest in the research and vaccine and development. So, these are some of the guiding principles for us to develop the National Action Plan, and it has already been developed. And it's a very comprehensive approach, I must say. And our institute has started working on it, basically towards recreating awareness and advocacy. And we have been successful in creating advocacy and awareness at a mass level. Surveillance We have a network of Sentinel surveillance laboratories engaged with us, and they are sharing the data with NIH on a regular basis, and this is helping NIH to understand the basic trends on AMR and what is happening. And eventually we plan to go towards this case-based surveillance as well, but this is definitely going to take some time because to make people understand the importance of surveillance, this is the first thing. And very recently, the Institute and country has started working towards the hospital acquired infection surveillance as well. So, this is a much-needed approach, because the lab and the hospital go hand in hand, like whatever is happening in the lab, they eventually reach the patients who are in the hospitals. Wastewater surveillance is the key. You are very right. Our institute has done some of the work toward typhoid and cholera wastewater surveillance, and we were trying to identify the sources where we are getting these kinds of pathogens. These are all enteric pathogens. They are the key source for the infection. And for the wastewater surveillance mechanism, we can say that we have to engage multiple stakeholders in this development process. It's not only the laboratory people at NIH, but we need to have a good epidemiologist. We need to have all the water agencies, like the public health engineering departments, the PCRWR, the environmental protection agencies who are working with all these wastewater sites. So, we need to connect with them to make a good platform and to make this program in a more robust fashion. Pathogens and Disease Burdon For cholera and typhoid within Pakistan, I must say these are the high burden infections or diseases that we are seeing. For typhoid, the burden is quite high. We have seen a transition from the multidrug-resistant pathogens to the extensively drug-resistant pathogens, which now we are left with only azithromycin and the carbapenems. So, the burden is high. And when we talk about cholera, it is present in the country, but many of the times it is seasonal. It comes in during the time of the small zone rains and during the time of floods. So, every year, during this time, there are certain outbreaks that we have seen in different areas of the country. So, both diseases are there, but typhoid is like all year long—we see number of cases coming up—and for cholera, it's mainly seasonal. Capacity Building and ASM's Global Public Health Programs Capacity building is a key to everything, I must say, [whether] you talk about the training or development of materials. I've been engaged with ASM for quite some time. I worked to develop a [One Health] poster in the local language to create awareness about zoonotic diseases. So, we have targeted the 6 zoonotic diseases, including the anthrax, including the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and influenza. And we have generated a very user-friendly kind of layout in the local language, trying to teach people about the source of transmission. What are the routes of transmission, if we talk about the CCHF? And then how this can be prevented. So, this was one approach. And then I was engaged with the development of the Learnamr.com. This is online platform with 15 different e-modules within it, and we have covered different aspects—talking about the basic bacteriology toward the advanced, standardized methods, and we have talked about the national and global strategies [to combat] AMR, One Health aspects of AMR, vaccines. So, it's a huge platform, and I'm really thankful to ASM for supporting the program for development. And it's an online module. I have seen that there are around more than 500 subscribers to this program right now, and people are learning, and they are giving good feedback to the program as well. We keep on improving ourselves, but the good thing is that people are learning, and they are able to understand the basic concepts on AMR.

Today I'm sharing some recent big mistakes I've made, and one of them I've made more than once. While frustrating and costly, these blunders highlighted my progress in dealing with shame. Instead of harsh self-criticism, I experienced guilt, frustration, and a greater sense of self-compassion, acknowledging my high mental load and rushing. This allowed me to learn valuable lessons about slowing down and double-checking. Unlike shame, which hinders growth and ownership, compassion helps us move forward. Tune in to see how you can relate, and start giving yourself some more compassion when you make mistakes, too!

What happens when our desire for climate accountability transforms into cancel culture? In this thought-provoking conversation, author of the book Cancel Culture in Climate, Jenny Morgan breaks down how our collective approach to sustainability communication often backfires, creating fear rather than progress.Jenny explains what drove her to write "Cancel Culture and Climate" – seeing organizations retreat from public climate commitments out of fear, even as climate impacts intensify around us. She draws a crucial distinction between cancel culture (which permanently labels entities as "bad") and true accountability (which provides clear pathways for improvement).Through compelling examples like the contrasting approaches of Allbirds and Crocs, she demonstrates how transparency about both achievements and challenges creates space for collective advancement. Rather than celebrating the downfall of competitors, Allbirds showed how industry-wide collaboration benefits everyone – a refreshing alternative to the "schadenfreude" that often dominates sustainability conversations.For businesses struggling with sustainability goals, Jenny offers practical frameworks for honest communication. Instead of burying setbacks in dense reports or glossing over them with vague marketing language, she recommends directly addressing why certain targets weren't met and what's needed to overcome obstacles. This transparency invites stakeholders to contribute solutions rather than simply criticize failures.Most importantly, Jenny reminds us that behind every business decision are human beings with complex motivations. Her "motivational conversation" approach encourages exploring with curiosity, actively listening, and discovering shared values – whether communicating with family members, colleagues, or competing businesses. "If we're just focused on winning the argument," she cautions, "we will lose the argument ultimately."Discover how replacing perfectionism with progress and judgment with curiosity might be our best path forward in addressing climate challenges.

Do The Thing You DON'T Want To Do Today! In this episode of Join Up Dots, we dive deep into the uncomfortable truth behind real progress—doing what you don't fancy. It's not the glamorous, Insta-worthy moments that create success; it's the gritty, awkward actions you resist that hold the key. Whether it's recording your first video, writing for free to build a portfolio, or just hitting record on a podcast idea that's been simmering for months—success lives in the repetition of those unfancy steps. Host David Ralph shares powerful real-life stories of people who pushed through resistance and found results, not because the tasks got easier, but because they got stronger. If you're waiting for motivation or ease, you'll be waiting forever. Progress comes when you lean into the discomfort and do it anyway. Share this episode with someone who needs that nudge to get moving and tag it with #JoinUpDots #DoItAnyway #SuccessIsUncomfortable. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review. Your feedback helps us reach more people and continue bringing you valuable content. See you in the next episode!
