George made his first million as an entrepreneur and spent it.He grew up in feast or famine. Swore he would do the opposite. Then recreated the exact same pattern with more zeros, bigger crashes, and equal chaos.The money story he inherited was running his business without his permission for 20 years. He didn't know it had a name until he sat down with Ryan Lee.This episode is the implementation guide.This is a direct follow-up to Episode 734 with Ryan D. Lee. George breaks down the three-part path from Ryan's conversation into a clear, executable framework: rewrite your money story, answer six questions that build a target, and calculate the one number that makes it all measurable. In that order. For a reason.What You'll Learn In This Episode:The two economies and which one is running you right nowHow to identify the money story you inherited and where it shows up in your businessSix questions that move you from scarcity to abundance to prosperityWhat a strike number is and how to calculate yoursWhy knowing your floor eliminates the hiding places and the endless chaseHow to apply gain thinking to financial progress so you stop quitting before you get thereKey Takeaways:✔️Show me your last month's bank statement and you will see exactly what you value, whether you meant to or not.✔️The dependency economy has a system running you. The ownership economy means you run the system from the inside out.✔️You do not have a money problem. You have an unowned story, an undefined target, and an invisible number. Fix those in order.✔️You cannot consciously reject a money story and outrun it at the same time. You will recreate the same pattern with bigger numbers.✔️Six questions in two sets: What do I want? Why does it matter? Who must I become? Then: Who am I? Why am I? How do I use my gifts in service of others?✔️Your strike number is not the dream number. It is the floor. The bare minimum monthly number needed to keep the lights on.✔️Once you know your floor, you run out of excuses to keep avoiding yourself and chasing more.✔️Progress is measured from where you started, not against an ideal you have not reached. Twenty percent of the way to your strike number is not failure. It is measurable gain from zero.Timestamps & Highlights:[00:00] — The bank statement test and a confession about the first million[01:18] — The two economies: dependency vs. ownership[06:00] — Part 1: The money story rewrite and how to identify yours[12:00] — Where the inherited story shows up in business decisions[17:00] — Part 2: Six questions that build the target[22:00] — Scarcity to abundance to prosperity, in order[27:00] — Part 3: The strike number explained[30:00] — Why knowing the floor eliminates the hiding places[33:00] — How to apply the gain framework to your strike number[35:00] — The three actions to take this weekYour Challenge This Week:Three things.

Daron Acemoglu is an Institute Professor of Economics at MIT and a recipient of the 2024 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, which he shared with Simon Johnson and James Robinson for research on how institutions shape prosperity. He is also the bestselling co-author of Why Nations Fail, The Narrow Corridor, and Power and Progress. In this episode, Robinson and Daron discuss the future of liberal democracy in an age of artificial intelligence. More particularly, they talk about how AI could undermine democratic institutions, whether tech billionaires have accumulated too much power, and why Daron believes current approaches to AI could produce an increasingly unequal, two-tier American society. They also discuss the importance of the 2026 elections, Zohran Mamdani, disagreements between the center and far left, and Daron's proposal for a renewed “working-class liberalism.” Daron's latest book is What Happened to Liberal Democracy?: Remaking a Politics of Shared Prosperity (Dutton, 2026).Daron's Website: https://www.daronacemoglu.comWhat Happened to Liberal Democracy?: https://a.co/d/0f0qGMxtOUTLINE00:00 What Is Liberal Democracy?09:30 How Does AI Undermine Democracy?18:30 Are the Tech Billionaires Out of Control?24:50 AI Is an Existential Threat27:18 How AI Will Turn the USA into a Two-Tier Dystopia35:17 Other Views on AI38:19 Why the 2026 Elections Are So Important for the Left42:30 What Makes Mamdani a Great Politician?45:58 The Far Left vs the Center Left: Who Should Win?52:00 Working Class Liberalism

Vanessa breaks down the biggest scientific takeaways and most actionable gems from her recent conversation with Dr. Lee Breen, one of the world's leading researchers in protein metabolism, resistance training and skeletal muscle health across the lifespan. Before diving into the latest research, Vanessa shares an exciting update from her postpartum fat-loss and body-recomposition journey: she has lost five pounds since beginning her gentle fat-loss phase two weeks ago. She explains the four simple food swaps that reduced her intake by only approximately 150–200 calories per day, why the initial change likely includes water and glycogen as well as body fat, and how she is using three to four resistance-training sessions per week to gradually reveal her muscle while continuing to exclusively breastfeed baby Taylor. Vanessa also shares why she is deliberately giving herself the longest possible runway, why she does not expect to continue losing five pounds every two weeks, and why she plans to wait until Taylor begins eating solid foods before bringing Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting days back into her routine.

One of the biggest themes from Dr. Breen's research is that losing weight and improving your body composition are not necessarily the same thing. Vanessa explores why the scale cannot tell you whether you are losing fat, water or metabolically active tissue; how much lean mass may be lost during significant weight loss; and why regaining weight after dieting or discontinuing a GLP-1 medication could potentially leave someone with less muscle and a higher body-fat percentage than when they started. She also examines how much protein may be needed to protect muscle during weight loss. Is approximately 1.4 grams per kilogram enough, or should you aim closer to 2–2.2 grams per kilogram? And how should that target change based on your body size, activity level, age and the aggressiveness of your calorie deficit?

Vanessa explains why protein and resistance training are most powerful when used together, why at least two whole-body resistance-training sessions per week can provide an effective starting point, and how training tells the body where the amino acids from dietary protein are needed. She also unpacks Dr. Breen's research comparing whey and pea protein in middle-aged and older adults. Whey produced a greater leucine response—but did that translate into more muscle protein synthesis over the complete 10-day intervention? The full results were more nuanced than a simple animal-versus-plant-protein conclusion. They also revealed something potentially even more important about the effect of resistance training on the muscle's ability to use the protein being consumed. Vanessa finishes with Dr. Breen's fascinating prehabilitation research showing that a single resistance-training session helped protect older adults' muscle during five days of bed rest, emerging evidence on whey protein and glycemic control, and the essential questions anyone using a GLP-1 medication should consider to help protect muscle and improve the quality of their weight loss. In this episode: Vanessa's latest postpartum fat-loss and body-recomposition update How she lost five pounds during her first two weeks of gentle dieting Why those five pounds are unlikely to represent body fat alone The four simple swaps that reduced her intake by approximately 150–200 calories per day Why she expects her rate of weight loss to slow from here How she is approaching fat loss while exclusively breastfeeding Why she is deliberately giving herself a longer fat-loss runway Her goal of protecting her muscle—and potentially more facial fat and collagen—this time Why she is waiting until Taylor begins solid foods before reintroducing PSMF days How three to four weekly resistance-training sessions are supporting her body recomposition Why she plans to complete another DEXA scan at the end of the process Why losing weight and improving body composition are not necessarily the same thing How much lean mass may be lost during significant weight loss Why lean mass loss is not always identical to contractile-muscle loss What may happen to body composition when lost weight is regained The potential consequences of losing fat and muscle but regaining predominantly fat Why the scale should not be your only measure of progress DEXA scans, measurements, strength, performance, photographs and clothing fit Why muscle preservation must be built into a fat-loss plan from the beginning Is 1.4 grams of protein per kilogram enough during weight loss? When 2–2.2 grams per kilogram may provide additional muscle protection Why the conventional protein RDA should not be treated as an optimal fat-loss target When goal weight, adjusted body weight or estimated lean mass may provide a more appropriate calculation Why protein and resistance training work better together How training helps your muscles use the amino acids you consume Why two whole-body resistance-training sessions per week can be an effective starting point How to begin resistance training without a complicated program or gym membership Why breakfast may be the most important protein meal to improve The potential benefits of approximately 0.4 grams of protein per kilogram per meal How to create a breakfast containing approximately 25–40 grams of protein Why two eggs may not provide as much protein as many people assume When protein's appetite-suppressing effect is helpful—and when it may not be Why an enormous protein shake could be counterproductive for a frail older adult with a low appetite Whey protein vs. pea protein in Dr. Breen's latest research Why whey produced a greater leucine response Did the higher leucine response produce more muscle protein synthesis? Why well-planned plant protein can still support muscle remodeling When protein quality may become more consequential Why nothing has consistently outperformed whey protein Why whey can be especially efficient when calories or appetite are limited The benefits of a "food first, but not food always" approach When a protein supplement can be a practical tool Why ingredient quality and third-party testing matter Could one resistance-training session help protect muscle for five days? What prehabilitation may mean before planned surgery or predictable inactivity How Vanessa used a similar strategy before delivering her babies Why building muscle now creates a reserve for future illness, injury or inactivity Can whey protein help improve post-meal glycemic control? Why the idea that whey is automatically bad for blood sugar because it stimulates insulin is overly simplistic Previous research using approximately 15 grams of whey with or before carbohydrate-rich meals Dr. Breen's ongoing trial in adults over 75 with obesity and type 2 diabetes The difference between completed findings and promising ongoing research Why protein, resistance training and diet quality become more important—not less—when using a GLP-1 medication The questions every GLP-1 user should consider about protein, strength, fiber, micronutrients and long-term maintenance Vanessa's practical action plan for losing fat while protecting muscle BACK TO SCHOOL SALE!

Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!Want to come inside La Menarderie? On Saturday, September 19, Wendy is opening the doors (virtually!) for a live tour of the château she and her friend Liz have been bringing to life in the French countryside. Come see the treasures she's sourced, what they've been working on, and this beautiful old property while it's still very much in progress. The tour is live on Zoom and will not be recorded.JOIN THE LIVE TOUR: wendy-harrop.myflodesk.com/lamenarderietourIn this episode, Wendy sits down with Christine Carron of Good Jelly to challenge the idea that meaningful progress requires more pressure, discipline, or hours spent working. Christine helps highly capable creatives find patterns of progress that honor how they actually work, rather than forcing themselves into someone else's system. Together, they explore what changes when you stop treating yourself like an assembly line, recognize the wins you usually dismiss, and begin leading your creative work with more spaciousness, self-trust, and delight.They explore:Why your creative process is allowed to look different from everyone else's and change from one project, season, or day to the next How perfectionism and undefined finish lines keep you working without ever feeling the momentum of what you've completed Christine's practice of creating “done boosts” by naming your endpoints and becoming flagrantly generous in acknowledging your progress This is a conversation about making room for creativity without running yourself into the ground. If you're doing meaningful work but constantly focused on what remains unfinished, Christine offers a more sustaining way to recognize your progress and keep moving.Connect with Christine:Website: https://www.goodjelly.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-carronInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/leagueofgoodjelly/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodjellyWatch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gwb5WONWrI8Referenced in this Episode:Aransas Savas' Episode, The One Question that Shifts Everything: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1872382/episodes/18652692 Episodes with Rachel Jackson:How to Stop Performing and Start Trusting Yourself | Rachel Jackson: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1872382/episodes/18586302Saying Yes To Your New Version With Rachel Jackson: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1872382/episodes/13455977________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?

Nathan and Cameron explore whether Christian worship and evangelicalism have become too tacky, discussing the relationship between church culture, aesthetics, sacred spaces, contemporary worship, evangelism, art, and authentic Christian fellowship. Drawing on Bonnie Christian's In Defense of Evangelicalism, Nathan and Cameron examine the meaning of “tackiness,” the influence of class and culture on evangelical churches, smoke machines and big-box church design, high church versus low church traditions, the role of intentionality in worship, and whether churches sometimes prioritize cultural relevance and marketing over theological substance. They also discuss Christian art, symbolism, sacred spaces, The Pilgrim's Progress, worship in spirit and truth, generational differences, church leadership, and the importance of communicating the right message through music, architecture, décor, and other symbols, offering a thoughtful Christian perspective on evangelical culture, beauty, worship, and the tension between reaching people and preserving a sense of the sacred.Book Link: ⁠https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/818937/in-defense-of-evangelicalism-by-bonnie-kristian/⁠DONATE LINK: ⁠https://toltogether.com/donate⁠  BOOK A SPEAKER: ⁠https://toltogether.com/book-a-speaker⁠ JOIN TOL CONNECT: ⁠https://toltogether.com/tol-connect⁠  TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

We're apes stuck in a zoo of our own design. Christopher Ryan, author of Civilized to Death, reveals what modern life is really doing to us.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1383What We Discuss with Chris Ryan:Civilization loves writing its own Yelp reviews — the story that it saved us from lives that were nasty, brutish, and short is propaganda. We never doubled the human lifespan either; a wave of child deaths dragged the average down, while hunter-gatherer adults routinely reached their seventies.Many of the problems civilization brags about solving, it created. Contaminated water, crushed teeth, and the plagues bred by crowding and livestock all arrived with us. It's like lighting your house on fire, then showing up with a bucket and expecting thanks.Pick the yardstick and you win the argument — so we count GDP, tennis rackets, and mango slicers instead of loneliness, chronic pain, and despair. By honest measures, record anxiety and suicide among the young point to a culture built for commercial interests, not human ones.Agriculture wasn't a triumphant invention — it was an emergency irrigation fix during drought that ratcheted into a trap. Surplus grain needed storing, storing needed guarding, guards needed bosses, and the cascade rolled on to taxation, hierarchy, patriarchy, and slavery.The good thing is that none of this is destiny, and, for the first time in human history, we can choose how we live. This week, shrink your world to human scale: learn your neighbors' names, get into nature, share the caregiving, and find work that feels more like play.

The fastest way to kill a good initiative inside your law firm is to bring in too many decision-makers and give them no deadline. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill answer listener questions about why good ideas stall inside law firms, when impatience is an advantage versus a liability, and what effective delegation actually requires. Here's what you'll learn: Why reducing the number of decision-makers is the fastest way to eliminate operational friction How setting deadlines and working backwards from a go-live date forces real execution When a high-upside initiative deserves patience and when low returns signal you should move on Why delegating without clear context and constraints puts the outcome outside your control If speed and patience feel like opposites inside your firm, this conversation will sharpen how and when to use both.

Episode Summary Tuna is far more than a familiar item on supermarket shelves or a staple of sushi menus. More than five million metric tons of tuna are caught each year, supporting a global supply chain valued at more than $40 billion and providing food and economic security for millions of people. The fishery is particularly important to small island nations, where tuna-related income can account for a significant share of domestic revenues. But getting tuna from ocean to consumer involves an intricate global network of fishing fleets, processing facilities, exporters, importers and markets. Different tuna species also serve distinct markets, from canned skipjack and albacore to high-value bluefin destined for fresh and premium markets. Because tunas migrate across national boundaries and entire ocean regions, managing them sustainably requires countries to coordinate through regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs). The conversation examines how these organizations make decisions, why consensus can be difficult, and how harvest strategies are changing the approach to fisheries management. The recovery of southern bluefin tuna demonstrates the potential of a long-term, pre-agreed management framework: after the stock had been severely depleted, its biomass quadrupled by 2020, ultimately contributing to its removal from the critically endangered list and the fishery achieving MSC certification. With all tuna RFMOs committed to implementing harvest strategies but only 10 of 23 commercially harvested tuna stocks having adopted them, initiatives such as All Tunas 2028 are focused on accelerating progress while encouraging seafood companies, governments, scientists and other stakeholders to become more engaged in fisheries decision-making. Featured Guests Katy Hladki — Senior Officer, International Fisheries Team — The Pew Charitable Trusts Key Topics Covered The global economic, social and nutritional importance of tuna fisheries The complex journey of tuna from fishing vessels to processing facilities and consumer markets Major commercially harvested tuna species, including skipjack, albacore, yellowfin, bigeye and bluefin How regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) coordinate tuna management across international waters The challenges of reaching consensus among countries and stakeholders with different interests Harvest strategies as a science-based, pre-agreed framework for long-term fisheries management The recovery of southern bluefin tuna and what its management history demonstrates Why only 10 of 23 commercially harvested tuna stocks currently have established harvest strategies The role of seafood companies, retailers, wholesalers and distributors in tuna fisheries advocacy The All Tunas 2028 initiative and its goal of advancing harvest strategies across tuna fisheries The importance of transparent fisheries data, independent vessel monitoring and stronger compliance The potential impacts of climate and environmental change on fisheries management Key Takeaways Tuna is a globally significant resource. More than five million metric tons are harvested annually, supporting a supply chain worth more than $40 billion and contributing to food and economic security around the world. International cooperation is essential. Because tuna are highly migratory and can be harvested by vessels from many different countries, effective management requires coordination through RFMOs. Harvest strategies can provide greater predictability. By establishing management rules and objectives in advance, harvest strategies can reduce uncertainty and help balance long-term sustainability with economic needs. Southern bluefin tuna demonstrates what effective management can accomplish. After severe depletion, the stock's biomass quadrupled by 2020 under a harvest strategy, and the species was subsequently removed from the critically endangered list. Progress is happening, but adoption remains incomplete. All tuna RFMOs have committed to implementing harvest strategies, yet only 10 of 23 commercially harvested tuna stocks had adopted them at the time of the conversation. Seafood businesses have a role beyond purchasing seafood. Retailers, wholesalers, distributors and other companies can engage directly in fisheries policy discussions and advocate for management decisions that protect long-term supply. Better data and monitoring are critical. Transparent fisheries information, independent vessel monitoring and strong compliance systems can improve both management decisions and confidence in their implementation. The future of tuna depends on broad engagement. Governments, fisheries managers, fishers, scientists, seafood companies and consumers all have a role in supporting healthy tuna populations and resilient seafood systems.

The bipartisan 2016 Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (Lautenberg) Amendments enacted extensive changes to the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) that many hoped would set the law on a new course, address its widely recognized challenges, and accelerate U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) actions to address public health threats. Since then, four administrations have put their mark on implementation of the amended law. The past ten years have seemed like a roller coaster of competing legal interpretations of some of the Lautenberg Amendments' most significant provisions, scientific debate and analyses, rulemakings, delays in meeting TSCA deadlines, and major milestones. To celebrate Lautenberg's ten-year anniversary, the Environmental Law Institute, the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health, and B&C convened an all-day conference: TSCA Reform -- Ten Years Later. The podcast you are about to hear is the keynote address from the conference. It features Dr. Lynn R. Goldman, former Assistant Administrator for Toxic Substances at EPA and Dean Emerita at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health, speaking with former Senator Tom Udall, a key advocate of Lautenberg, and Bonnie Lautenberg, the spouse of former Senator Frank R. Lautenberg. Many credit Lautenberg's passage in no small part to Bonnie's extraordinary advocacy. ALL MATERIALS IN THIS PODCAST ARE PROVIDED SOLELY FOR INFORMATIONAL  AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES.

Bigotry and open hatred against South Asians and Muslims has become a common, foundational viewpoint among Texas Republican officeholders and candidates - Bo French's ridiculous and widely-condemned comments about Texas Longhorns fans being the most egregious recent example. We invited Chanda Parbhoo of the SAAVE Texas Education Fund, one of Texas's largest AAPI organizations focused specifically on South Asian civic engagement and outreach, to give us the view from within her community and to explore with us that community's strength, resiliency and contributions to our state.Learn more about the SAAVE Texas Education Fund at https://saavetxeducationfund.org/.Thanks for listening!

Business systems are what separate a great idea from a business that can grow beyond its founder. A concept may work brilliantly in one location with the right people, the right customers, and the founder closely involved. The bigger test comes when that same experience has to work in another location, another market, or another country. That challenge becomes even more significant when the customer experience depends heavily on people. Processes can be documented, technology can be standardized, and performance can be measured, but culture, service, and human connection are harder to replicate. Pete Hull has experienced that challenge firsthand. As Founder and CEO of Fitstop, he has helped grow a fitness concept that began in his parents' garage in Australia into a global brand with more than 170 locations across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United States. Fitstop's growth provides a useful example of how business systems can support expansion without removing the human elements that made the original concept successful. It also demonstrates why sustainable growth requires more than simply duplicating what worked once. Turn What Works Into a Repeatable System Pete's path to entrepreneurship began long before Fitstop became an international franchise. After two knee reconstructions ended his pursuit of becoming a professional motocross athlete, he moved into coaching and became deeply interested in strength and conditioning, human performance, and helping people make measurable progress. Eventually, Pete began considering how he could take the benefits of one-on-one coaching and create something that could serve more people. The challenge was not simply putting more people into the same workout. He wanted to preserve the progressive nature of athletic training while creating a model that could work in a group environment. That distinction matters in almost every industry. Scaling effectively requires identifying what actually produces the result for the customer and building business systems around those elements. For Fitstop, that meant developing a centralized training methodology rather than allowing every location or coach to independently decide what the customer experience should look like. Studios operate from the same underlying programming, while individual owners and coaches can still bring their personalities and energy to the local community. Pete described the balance simply: "Your vibe attracts your tribe." That balance between standardization and personalization is one of the more difficult parts of building a multi-location business. Too much variation can weaken the brand. Too much standardization can make the experience feel disconnected from the local market. Strong business systems establish the non-negotiables while creating room for people to deliver those standards authentically. Build Systems Around the Customer Experience Operational consistency matters, but consistency alone does not create customer loyalty. A business also needs to understand what keeps customers engaged and what ultimately produces the outcome they came for. Pete's approach starts with the member experience. He explained that the fundamental responsibility of a gym, personal trainer, or fitness business is to serve its members by helping them achieve their goals. Fitstop's systems were built around that objective rather than around simply getting people through a workout. The company's group training model deliberately creates interaction among members. People train together, support one another, push each other, and celebrate progress together. Pete describes the formula as combining the science of strength and conditioning with "the art of human connection." That connection becomes part of the business model rather than something the company hopes will happen organically. Fitstop also tracks progress and gives members milestones to pursue. Members advance through statuses based on participation, testing is incorporated into programming, results can be logged in the company's app, and achievements are celebrated inside the studio. Those systems do more than encourage participation. They create opportunities for customers to recognize their own progress. Progress can be one of the most powerful forms of customer retention. When customers can see evidence that the product or service is helping them move toward something they value, they have a compelling reason to continue. That satisfaction can also become a growth engine. Pete talks about creating "raving fans" who naturally promote the business because they are proud of what they have accomplished. Fitstop supports that behavior with a referral model that allows members to invite friends into the experience. The broader business principle applies well beyond fitness. Referrals become much easier when customers have a result worth talking about. Protect the System as the Business Grows Business systems become increasingly important as an organization adds locations and moves farther away from the founder's direct oversight. Fitstop began franchising in 2017 after Pete and his wife had self-funded the first two studios. Pete had been transparent with his managers about the financials, the direction of the business, and what they were trying to build. When managers wanted to buy the studios, it helped propel Pete into franchising. The model eventually expanded internationally. New Zealand provided an important test because Fitstop had to launch during a period when the team could not simply travel there and manage everything in person. The circumstances forced the company to improve onboarding, presales, coaching education, and other systems that could be delivered remotely. That experience demonstrated something important about scalability: if a business requires the founder or corporate team to physically solve every problem, it has not truly built a scalable system. International growth increased the stakes even further. Fitstop needed enough consistency that members could recognize the brand while still allowing local operators to build relationships within their own communities. This is where franchising creates both an opportunity and a challenge. Franchisees are business owners, and strong owners will inevitably have ideas. But allowing every operator to independently change the model can quickly erode the consistency that gives the brand its value. Pete's philosophy for handling that tension is captured in another memorable phrase: "We're curious, not furious." Instead of immediately rejecting an idea, his team asks questions and looks at the data. Fitstop can compare performance across studios and examine what its strongest operators are doing. If an idea has merit, it can move through the Franchise Advisory Council and potentially become a pilot program. Successful ideas can then be introduced more broadly. Pete summarized the approach another way when describing how he responds to changes that may be premature: "I'm not saying no, I'm just saying not right now." This creates a path for innovation without turning the franchise system into more than 170 independent experiments. Use Data to Strengthen Business Systems As an organization grows, intuition becomes less reliable as the primary management tool. Leaders need visibility into what is happening across the business. Pete describes Fitstop as a highly data-driven organization. The company uses performance information to support franchisees, compare locations, evaluate ideas, and identify where an operator may need additional support. Technology and AI are increasingly part of that infrastructure. Pete specifically points to Claude as a tool Fitstop uses for business modeling, financial modeling, and evaluating studio performance. The company also has systems that allow it to monitor planning, statistics, and other performance indicators across the network. The technology, however, does not eliminate the need for human observation. Pete says he blocks out time to look at studio social media because even a short story can provide clues about the culture inside a location. Fitstop's business performance coaches also conduct annual health checks that include studio visits, financial audits, and planning reviews. That combination is important. Dashboards can tell leaders what is happening numerically, but they may not fully explain why it is happening. The best business systems create visibility at both levels. Leaders need quantitative measures that reveal trends and qualitative signals that show what customers and employees are actually experiencing. As Pete noted, people who are progressing tend to be happier and more motivated. When performance begins moving backward, whether in fitness or business, intervention may be needed. Consistency Creates the Foundation for Growth There is a temptation to associate business growth with constant innovation. New markets, new products, new campaigns, and new strategies are exciting. Yet much of sustainable growth comes from doing the fundamentals exceptionally well and repeating them. That philosophy is evident in Pete's approach to both business and personal performance. When asked about his own routines, he did not point to an elaborate productivity system or unusual high-performance ritual. Instead, he emphasized a stable lifestyle built around basics such as sleep, nutrition, hydration, training, and physical activity. "Do the basics really, really well, but just keep showing up and be consistent with it." The same principle applies to organizations. A company does not become scalable because it documented a few procedures. Business systems have to become part of how the organization operates every day. People need to understand the standards, follow them, measure the results, and improve them when the evidence supports a change. Consistency is especially important when the company is expanding into new markets. Customers should not have to wonder whether the experience they receive depends entirely on which location they happen to visit. At the same time, consistency should not eliminate humanity. Pete's approach to Fitstop illustrates how a company can globalize the underlying brand and methodology while allowing local owners and coaches to build meaningful relationships in their communities. That may ultimately be one of the most important lessons for any leader trying to turn an idea into a larger organization. Growth does not require removing people from the equation. It requires building business systems that help people consistently deliver what made the idea valuable in the first place. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

In this episode, I answer a question about an 8-year-old who loves playing games but will do almost anything to make sure he wins—including cheating, changing the rules, and creating games where the outcome is stacked in his favor. When he does lose, he becomes angry, shuts down, or refuses to continue. I explain why our goal in CCPT is not to teach a child that losing is okay. That subtle shift gives us a therapist agenda. Instead, the therapeutic goal is for the child to eventually discover that even though losing may feel awful, he can handle it. I also explore what may be underneath the need to win, including low self-esteem, low frustration tolerance, anxiety, power and control, and the child's tendency to connect losing with being a loser and failing with being a failure. Rather than stopping the cheating or correcting the rules, we remain neutral, reflect feelings, provide encouragement that isn't tied to outcomes, and trust the child to work through these struggles in the playroom. Progress isn't that the child suddenly enjoys losing—it's that eventually he can lose, tolerate the disappointment, regulate himself, and say, "Okay, let's play again."

Chelsea were held to a frustrating draw at Stamford Bridge by a well organised Hull City side, and Simon and Manny break down a result that exposed all the familiar problems while still offering a glimpse of something better. Midfield issues. Defensive fragility. The same old story. But here is the thing — this is a game Chelsea would have lost last season. Is that progress?The hosts make a genuine case for patience with Xabi Alonso. The problems he inherited run deep, the squad still carries the mental scars and the bad habits of last season's collapse, and that kind of rot does not disappear in a matter of weeks. Alonso is building something and the hosts urge supporters to give him the runway to do it properly.There is real praise too. Morgan Rogers continues to be a revelation and is fast becoming the most important signing of the summer. Cole Palmer is back to his very best. Joao Pedro remains a constant threat. The attacking spine of this Chelsea side is genuinely exciting and the hosts cannot get enough of it.But Simon and Manny are blunt about the other end of the pitch. Malo Gusto and Wesley Fofana should not be starting games for a Chelsea side with ambitions of competing at the top. The hosts explain exactly why both need to be moved out of the first XI if Alonso is serious about closing the gap.Then attention turns to a tricky Friday night trip to Brentford before the international break — a game Chelsea simply cannot afford to slip up in.

When the future feels increasingly out of our control, how can leaders and organizations make progress? University of Pennsylvania psychologist Martin Seligman, a pioneer in the study of optimism, resilience, and human flourishing, argues that the answer is agency: the belief that we can influence outcomes and create positive change. He defines agency as a combination of three capabilities: efficacy—the belief that you can achieve a goal now; optimism—the belief that you can achieve it in the future; and imagination—the ability to envision possibilities that don't yet exist. And he explains how leaders can cultivate these qualities in themselves and their organizations, how managers can help employees overcome catastrophizing, and what AI can—and can't—do when it comes to one of the most important human capabilities: imagination. Seligman is the author of Agency: The Psychological History of Human Progress.

In this episode of Life in Progress, I'm coming to you from Barcelona to talk about something I care about deeply: the courage to keep trying, even when you get rejected, even when it's hard, and even when nothing seems to be working yet. This one is raw, honest, and personal.I get into why rejection is so much better than living with a lifetime of "what ifs," how progress is invisible right up until it isn't, and why the people we admire all have one thing in common: they kept going long past the point where it made sense.If you've been struggling lately, I hope this reminds you to rest, eat, but never quit. You don't have to wait for next year to go after the answers you need.Thank you for always tuning in.

What does progress cost us and how do we decide when the price is too high?In this episode, I'm thinking about the great Wendell Berry, my recent garden and soil struggles, the rise of data centers, and the way we've learned to value land. I'm exploring the tension between exploitation and stewardship, progress and preservation, and the important difference between asking whether we can do something and whether we should. Podcast Episode Highlights:Pondering progress these daysThinking about Wendell Berry and his influenceWhat my recent garden woes has made me think more aboutThinking about the value of landExploitation vs. nurtureCycle of life vs. straight lineThinking about contradictions, criticisms, and either/orAsking questions mattersCAN we do something vs. SHOULD we do somethingWhat does progress cost us?Final thoughtsResources Mentioned in This Podcast Episode:Learn more about Azure Standard and their non-GMO, wholesome food options (especially bulk food) here: https://www.azurestandard.com/?a_aid=ANnu0O8ySU–> Join Azure Standard for FREE and enjoy 15% off your first order of $100 or more.

1 Corinthians 13 is most often read at weddings, held up as the standard for the love we give away to another person. And it is all of that. But it is also something else — a love letter from God to us, intended to encourage the kind of self-compassion that most believers rarely extend to themselves. Every time the word "love" appears in this chapter, it translates from the Greek agape — the highest, most unconditional love that requires no relation, no condition, and no achievement. It is the love God has for His creation, including you. When First Corinthians 13:4 says love is patient, it does not only mean patient with a spouse, a difficult coworker, or a frustrating situation. It means giving yourself grace and permission to be exactly where you are. Patient with your own growth. Patient with your own pace. The same verse adds that love does not envy — which means negatively comparing your own progress to someone else's is not a loving act, including when you direct it toward yourself. And love does not boast and is not proud, which invites a searching question: is the impatience with your own progress rooted in a desire for recognition, or a need to feel superior to others? Can you choose instead to be patient with everything you have endured, changed, and overcome, whether or not your journey has been fast, visible, or impressive by anyone else's measure? The qualities of agape love practiced toward yourself are not self-indulgence. They are what make us increasingly capable of giving that same love to others. Bible Verse "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud."— 1 Corinthians 13:4, NIV Ponder Today Love is patient — including with yourself. The same grace and patience that agape love extends toward others is meant to be extended toward your own growth, pace, and progress. Harsh self-criticism is not humility. It is the absence of love. Love does not envy — and that includes comparing your progress to others'. Negatively measuring your pace against someone else's is not loving, not motivating, and not from God. Agape love allows you to live the life most suited to who you uniquely are. Impatience with your progress is worth examining honestly. Is it rooted in genuine desire to grow, or in a need for recognition, applause, or superiority over others? The question itself is an act of self-awareness that love invites. Self-compassion is not self-indulgence — it is what makes love for others sustainable. As you learn to extend agape love toward yourself, you grow in your capacity to give it away. The two are directly connected. First Corinthians 13 is a love letter from God to you. Read it as a personal word from the One whose love for you requires no achievement, no condition, and no further progress before it is fully given. You are lovable right now, exactly as you are. A Prayer for You Today God, I catch myself trying to do so many things at once that I start to behave in ways that are less than loving — to myself and, as a result, to others. Please pull me back into Your agape love. Teach me through Your love chapter how to see myself as enough, and how to believe that I am unconditionally lovable. Wash me of the pressure and anxiety I cause myself by feeling like I should be more accomplished or further along than I am. Speak to me that this life of mine is Yours, and that You love me right here and right now. Fill me with self-compassion so that I can practice the kind of love that reflects You to others. Thank You for loving me just as I am. In Jesus' name, Amen. Want More? Sign up for our free newsletter, The Good Word, for weekly biblical wisdom and encouragement delivered right to your inbox.

In a culture that constantly rationalizes compromise, God calls His people to a radically different standard—one where sin isn't just managed, but is eliminated right down to the root.In this series - NOT EVEN A HINT - we'll unpack God's true standard for holiness, how to wield the power of grace instead of relying on willpower, and how to build an actionable strategy for purity.

Iraq experienced one of the most comprehensive sanctions regimes ever imposed on a country in the 20th century. Dr. Omar Dewachi explores the concept of medical anthropology and traces the history of the Iraqi healthcare system from the British mandate to the post-2003 era. This exploration highlights how political interventions and conflicts disrupted medical infrastructure and population health. Ultimately, the conversation examines the profound breakdown of the political, medical, and social systems that led to the death of the clinic and a collapse of trust. 00:00 Introduction 01:21 The Concept of Medical Anthropology 04:52 Dual Trajectories in Health and Social Contexts 06:31 A Career Shift Rooted in Wartime Experience 10:19 The True Toll of the Comprehensive Sanctions Regime 12:56 Infrastructure and the Early Construction of the State 17:53 Systemic Vulnerabilities and the Scales of Destruction 22:25 Healthcare Expansion as an Instrument of Statecraft 28:21 The Rhetoric of Progress and the Framing of Pathologies 31:47 Moving Beyond Conventional Battlefields 37:13 Bearing Witness to Systemic Ruination and Personal Loss 43:09 Challenging Michel Foucault's Framework 49:44 Unequal Knowledge and Visibility on the Global Stage 51:57 The Erosion of Sacred Alliances and the Shift to Commerce 53:41 The Geography of Regional Wounds Omar Dewachi is an Associate Professor of Medical Anthropology and Global Health at Rutgers University. His work examines the social, medical, and environmental fallouts of decades of war and violence in Iraq and the broader Middle East. Before joining Rutgers in 2018, Dewachi co-founded the Conflict Medicine Program at the American University of Beirut, where he taught social medicine and global health. His award-winning book Ungovernable Life: Mandatory Medicine and Statecraft in Iraq (Stanford University Press, 2017) documents the untold history of the rise and fall of Iraq's healthcare system under decades of US-led interventions. His ongoing project 'When Wounds Travel' weaves almost two decades of ethnographic research with his personal experience of displacement and his medical and public health practice across Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria. He holds an MD from Baghdad University, an MPH from the American University of Beirut, and a PhD in Anthropology from Harvard University. Connect with Omar Dewachi

An all inclusive vacation went mostly off track on food, even while workouts stayed fairly consistent.   Coming home felt like starting completely over, even though real progress had not actually been erased.   Getting back on track took two to three weeks of steady consistency, without drastic adjustments or doubled up workouts.   The bloating and weight gain from the trip lagged behind reality, making the setback feel bigger than it actually was.   The real fix for travel or any disruption is trusting consistency to close the gap, not restarting from day one.

SummaryIn this Coaches Roundtable Q&A, Chase and Chris start by talking about something many people struggle to accept: sometimes maintaining your weight is a huge win. When life gets stressful, trying to force fat loss can add even more pressure. They explain why choosing maintenance during a hard season is not giving up. It can actually help you stay consistent and avoid falling back into old habits.Then they answer a question about anxiety and weight loss. They talk about how trying to make everything perfect can make the basics feel much harder than they need to be. Missing one workout, seeing the scale jump, or having an unplanned meal does not mean you failed. Health and fitness should be part of your life, not your entire life.Next, Chase and Chris discuss digestive issues and whether they can stall weight loss. Digestive problems can change scale weight and make it harder to see the progress you are making. They cover simple habits like water, fiber, and movement, plus why ongoing digestive problems may be worth discussing with a doctor instead of guessing or cutting tons of foods from your diet.Finally, they break down cleanses and long water fasts. Do you really need to stop eating for three, five, or seven days to "reset" your body? Chase and Chris explain why these claims can be misleading, why rapid scale drops during a fast are not the same thing as pure fat loss, and why getting consistent with the basics is usually a much better plan.

1942 WINTER SCIENCE FICTION QUARTELYDrones Target Russian Space Program InfrastructureAnatoly Zak and David Livingston: Zak reports on recent Ukrainian drone strikes against vital Russian space infrastructure, including the Progress aircraft company in Samara and the Plesetsk launch site. These targeted attacks aim to impede the manufacture of Soyuz rockets and delay the deployment of Russia's Rassvet satellite constellation, intended as a military equivalent to Starlink. While Soyuz and Angara rocket systems carry essential surveillance payloads for the Russian military, early Rassvet satellites have encountered operational difficulties, failing to reach intended orbits and risking atmospheric re-entry. Additionally, economic strain from wartime spending and budget deficits threatens Roscosmos, impacting future space station development following the retirement of the International Space Station.

1849 CLAUDE MONETCONTENTS FOR THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-10-2026Russian Election Strategy And European SecurityAnatol Lieven notes the Kremlin closely monitors legislative elections, banning opposition parties to preempt anti-war sentiment while relying on well-paid volunteers rather than unpopular mass conscription. Meanwhile, CIA Director John Ratcliffe visited Moscow, signaling possible shifts in diplomatic representation to explore war termination talks with Russian leadership. Discussions encompass discreet Russian assistance to Iran, hybrid warfare tactics in Europe, and mutual restraint among major global powers to avoid escalating into nuclear conflict. Concurrently, Great Britain faces severe military budget constraints, leaving its reserve forces underfunded and reducing its active fleet to just five operational warships. Political opposition across Europe further threatens long-term financial backing for Ukraine. (1)SpaceX Environmental Waivers For Louisiana PortDoug Messier reports SpaceX has proposed constructing Starbase Louisiana, a massive spaceport covering 125,000 acres along a vulnerable Gulf Coast ecosystem. The proposed facility plans to feature ten launchpads arranged in five clusters, natural gas extraction operations, employee housing, and a deepwater port facility to support thousands of annual Starship Super Heavy launches. To expedite development, the Department of Transportation proposed waiving twelve federal environmental protection laws, including the Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act. While government officials argue these exemptions remove bureaucratic obstacles to supercharge commercial space exploration, conservation advocates warn that waiving regulatory oversight threatens fragile coastal habitats and likely violates statutory protections. (2)Analyzing Family Subsidies And National DebtVeronique de Rugy analyzes Vice President JD Vance's policy proposal to extend federal Child Care and Development Fund subsidies to stay-at-home parents. De Rugy contends that low-income single mothers cannot afford to leave the workforce, meaning the subsidies would primarily benefit higher-income households or families who had already chosen stay-at-home care. International examples in France, Norway, and Finland demonstrate that similar stay-at-home subsidies failed to reverse declining national fertility rates, benefiting higher-educated mothers instead. Furthermore, de Rugy criticizes proposals offering direct 5,000-dollar payments to citizens, warning that funding such initiatives through tariffs is financially unviable and would expand the national debt by over 1.35 trillion dollars. (3)Political Assets Intelligence Networks Financial TiesCraig Unger, author of American Kompromat, House of Trump, House of Putin, House of Bush, House of Saud, and Den of Spies, discusses intelligence allegations surrounding Donald Trump, evaluating claims by former Kazakh security official Alnur Mussayev that Trump served as a Russian intelligence asset. Unger distinguishes between formal intelligence agents and political assets, who may act as useful contacts or unknowing participants, while pointing out procedural irregularities regarding specific KGB directorates. He questions sending real estate representatives or political appointees rather than seasoned diplomats to negotiate complex conflicts in Moscow and Gaza. Unger also details historical Saudi political connections, noting how members of the Bin Laden family were flown out of American airspace immediately following the 9/11 attacks through private financial partnerships involving the Bush family and the Carlyle Group. (4)rones Target Russian Space Program InfrastructureAnatoly Zak and David Livingston: Zak reports on recent Ukrainian drone strikes against vital Russian space infrastructure, including the Progress aircraft company in Samara and the Plesetsk launch site. These targeted attacks aim to impede the manufacture of Soyuz rockets and delay the deployment of Russia's Rassvet satellite constellation, intended as a military equivalent to Starlink. While Soyuz and Angara rocket systems carry essential surveillance payloads for the Russian military, early Rassvet satellites have encountered operational difficulties, failing to reach intended orbits and risking atmospheric re-entry. Additionally, economic strain from wartime spending and budget deficits threatens Roscosmos, impacting future space station development following the retirement of the International Space Station. (5)Literary Evolution Of Novelist George SandFiona Sampson, author of Becoming George, explores the life and literary legacy of Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, who became the pioneering nineteenth-century French author George Sand. Sampson traces Sand's upbringing at Nohant, marked by childhood grief, an aristocratic paternal lineage blended with working-class maternal roots, and a formative convent education in Paris. After escaping a brief, unhappy marriage to Casimir Dudevant, Sand established independence in Paris, initially collaborating with Jules Sandeau before achieving immediate solo acclaim with her debut novels Indiana and Lélia. Her writings broke ground by depicting female interiority, challenging traditional marriage institutions, and infusing progressive political idealism into intimate social narratives amidst turbulent French political eras. (6)SecurityDynamics Across Latin American NationsEvan Ellis details US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's diplomatic tour across Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru to strengthen regional security partnerships. In Colombia, President de la Espriella has renewed security alignment with Washington, exited China's Belt and Road Initiative, and sought aid against Venezuelan transnational crime networks. Ecuador's President Noboa secured US anti-gang assistance and maritime vessels to counter expanding narco-trafficking violence. Meanwhile, Peru balances US counter-narcotics cooperation against deep-seated Chinese investments in mining, telecommunications, and the Chancay port. Ellis further examines judicial corruption in Brazil ahead of presidential elections, severe power grid collapses in Cuba and Venezuela, and potential tech investments in Argentinaunder President Milei. (7)R

OCTOBER 1958Commercial Space Progress And Planetary ExplorationBob Zimmerman highlights commercial space advancements, noting Stoke Space's $1 billion capital raise to develop its fully reusable Nova rockets and Isar Aerospace's historic orbital launch from Norway. Meanwhile, bureaucracy continues to hinder British spaceport development. In orbital operations, Catalyst demonstrated satellite rendezvous capabilities despite failing to save the Swift observatory's decaying orbit. Additionally, U.S. firms boycotted a Frenchsummit over restrictive proposed EU regulations. Internationally, European and Japanese orbiters successfully separated ahead of Mercury orbital insertion. However, Zimmerman raises concerns over NASA's Perseverance rover dithering on Mars without taking core samples for 15 months. (2)

I can't believe it — we recorded a live episode of About Progress, and you're invited to join us for the whole thing. My friend Julie Rose, an NPR journalist and incredible interviewer, took the mic and asked me everything: how Sticky Habits went from a failed course to a published book, what 10 years and four million downloads of podcasting has taught me, and why I finally stopped waiting for permission to call myself a writer.  This conversation is about so much more than habits or books. It's about learning to be bad at things, giving yourself permission to be mediocre, and realizing that your worth isn't tied to your output. If you've ever felt like you're doing it all wrong, or that progress is something other people have figured out — this one's for you. Order Sticky Habits!
