In this episode, I'm sharing the exact tough-love truth I give my one-on-one clients inside Play Cafe Academy and Playmaker Society—the things I say privately that genuinely help people avoid incredibly expensive, stressful, and sometimes irreversible mistakes when opening an indoor playground or play café.This audio is pulled directly from a YouTube video I recently published, and I wanted to share it here because it's that important. But if you want to make sure you never miss content that doesn't make it over to the podcast feed, be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel as well.If you're in the planning phase, this is the reality check you need before signing a lease, building a business plan, launching a GoFundMe, choosing a location, or assuming open play alone will carry your business. I walk through the most common misconceptions I see every week—unrealistic revenue projections, relying too heavily on vendors, expecting your customers to be loyal, thinking you can bring your kids to work, underestimating the impact on your relationship, and more.I'm also diving into why no one wants to fund your dream, how crowdfunding can work when used as a marketing strategy (not a funding plan), and why your startup budget, projected revenue, and marketing spend need to align if you want the business to be sustainable and your life to stay intact.My intention isn't to scare you—it's to give you the full, unfiltered picture so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and realistic expectations. A play café can absolutely be profitable and joyful, but only if it's built on truth, not wishful thinking.If you enjoyed this episode and want a part two for current owners, send me a message or leave a review.RESOURCES MENTIONED:Business Plan ToolkitWhy You Can't Bring Your Kids To Work What Opening an Indoor Playground CostsOTHER RESOURCES:Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyGetting Started With Your Play Cafe [YouTube Video Playlist]What's Working In The Indoor Play Industry 2025 GuideFund Your Indoor Play Business [Free Training]Indoor Play Courses & 1:1 Consulting WaitlistMichele's InstagramMichele's WebsitePlay Cafe Academy YouTube ChannelETSY Template ShopPrepare Your Indoor Playground For a RecessionPlay Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers Society: http://bit.ly/3HES7fDQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com Simplify and Scale with 50% OFF WellnessLiving: https://discover.wellnessliving.com/playcafeacademyActive Campaign Free Trial: https://www.activecampaign.com/?_r=D6IYK3HG

Welcome to Specifically for Seniors! Today we're delighted to introduce Tony McMullen, affectionately known as “Tony the Democrat.” His story is one of those rare grassroots adventures that begins small and blossoms into something extraordinary. Back in March of 2017, Tony invited just five friends over to handwrite postcards reminding voters about an upcoming election. Five friends, five postcards each—that was it. Yet within a month, that modest gathering had sparked a nationwide movement of 1,200 volunteers who together wrote more than 51,000 postcards. Fast forward to today, and Postcards to Voters has grown into a vibrant community of over 162,000 volunteers across all 50 states, who have collectively sent more than 22 million handwritten postcards to support critical elections.What makes this effort so special is its personal touch. These aren't form letters or computer printouts. Every single postcard is handwritten, often decorated, and mailed by volunteers who want to make a real difference. And it works. Candidates have won races by margins as slim as 95 votes thanks to postcard outreach. Beyond the victories, Tony emphasizes that the friendships, connections, and sense of purpose that volunteers discover along the way have been the most beautiful unintended gift of all.The impact has been remarkable across hundreds of races. Karen Gaddis in Oklahoma won by just 95 votes. Phil Miller in Iowa saw his campaign office windows covered with postcards from volunteers nationwide. Kevin Cavanaugh in New Hampshire won by fewer than a thousand votes. In recent cycles, Postcards to Voters has supported successful recent statewide campaigns in Georgia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, with nearly all supported candidates prevailing. Even in tough red districts where victories were elusive, the postcards built foundations for future campaigns and inspired local activists. Getting involved is simple and flexible. Prospective volunteers email Join@tonythedemocrat.org, submit a photo of a sample postcard to show legibility, and once approved can request addresses anytime through Abby the Address Bot. The genius of the program is its three-day commitment system: volunteers only take as many addresses as they can complete within three days, whether that's five postcards or fifty. There are no quotas, no pressure, and volunteers can request more addresses immediately after finishing or take breaks between campaigns. Postcards are designed to look like personal mail—neutral or friendly in style, without campaign logos—so recipients are more likely to read them rather than dismiss them as political junk.Tony reminds us that every campaign is a success because the true goal is strengthening the habit of voting among Democrats, not just winning individual races. The organization is entirely volunteer-run, with no salaries or office space, relying on modest donations to cover technology costs. With around 300 campaigns requesting help each November alone, there is always need for more hands. Even writing just five postcards a month makes a meaningful contribution to this grassroots movement that has become one of the most effective tools for voter outreach nationwide.Learn more and sign up at Postcardstovoters.org to join this inspiring community of volunteers making democracy work one handwritten postcard at a time.

This OG of directly contracted high-value networks or Centers of Excellence networks came up, name dropped and everything in the episode with Elizabeth Mitchell from PBGH, the Purchaser Business Group on Health, from two weeks ago. That was episode 491. So, welcome to this deep cut episode with Olivia Ross from way back, pre-pandemic times. This episode of Relentless Health Value revisits the concept of directly contracted high value networks or Centers of Excellence (ECEN) with Olivia Ross. The discussion explores the impact and potential of the ECEN network, emphasizing the importance of quality, price transparency, and multidisciplinary approaches in healthcare.  Olivia delves into the reasons why ECEN was significant in past PBGH projects and its current relevance, despite its eventual dismantling due to corporate changes. The episode highlights the benefits for employers in creating their own high-value networks and the positive outcomes from fewer unnecessary surgeries and better quality care. Additionally, it covers the rigorous process of selecting Centers of Excellence and how continuous quality improvement efforts benefit both employers and healthcare providers. === LINKS ===

L'inaction face au changement climatique coûte déjà plus cher que la transition, selon l'un des rapports de la Cour de Comptes de 2025. Dans cet épisode, nos invités de SNCF Réseau et du CEREMA décryptent comment collectivités et opérateurs d'infrastructures transforment cette urgence en actions concrètes.Au-delà des réponses techniques, l'épisode met aussi en lumière le paradoxe de l'adaptation :  déployée localement pour répondre aux besoins des territoires, elle doit pourtant être pensée de manière systémique, car le changement climatique ignore les frontières. Les interviewés détaillent les outils existants et les perspectives offertes par la technologie pour modéliser les scénarios, coordonner les acteurs et garantir la continuité des services.

In this Meaningful People episode, financial advisor Moshe Alpert and community advocate Shmuly Hartstein unpack why many frum “middle‑class” families earning $200–300K still feel underwater—tuition that rivals a salary, yom tov and camp costs, seminary and simcha expectations, and the quiet creep of credit‑card debt. They debate income‑based tuition and communal funding versus personal responsibility, and share practical moves: make a real plan, build a budget, ask for a raise or start a side hustle, prioritize local schools in tzedakah, consider lower‑cost simchas or out‑of‑town living, and protect your family with insurance and a will.

Dr. Ryan Sultan is a Board Certified Adult and Child Psychiatrist, researcher and Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. He is also in private practice with expertise in the evaluation and treatment of ADHD. One in six American boys is now diagnosed with ADHD. In France, it's one in 200. American children are diagnosed with ADHD at rates 30 times higher than other Western nations. We consume 80% of the world's ADHD stimulants despite being 4% of the population.There's no blood test, no brain scan, no biological evidence this "disorder" actually exists - just subjective checklists and lines of questioning. In this essential episode, Dr. McFillin challenges the validity and reliability of ADHD diagnosis, and what unfolds is a stunning revelation about how 7 million children ended up on amphetamines.

World Psychiatry, 2(2), 104-113.Funded by Johnson & Johnson (pharmaceutical company)Co-authored by Joseph Biederman (who later had to admit taking $1.6 million from drug companies without disclosure)What This Article Inadvertently Reveals:The Diagnosis Shopping Game: The article admits that using DSM-IV criteria produces the "highest prevalence rates" compared to other diagnostic systems. Translation: American psychiatry created diagnostic criteria that captures the most kids. This isn't discovering disease - it's widening the net.The 20-Fold Difference They Can't Explain: The article acknowledges a "20-fold greater prevalence of childhood hyperactivity in North America compared with England" in 1970s studies. Their explanation? Different diagnostic practices, not different children. So they're admitting the "disease" depends entirely on who's doing the diagnosing.The Admission Hidden in Plain Sight: The authors state that differences in prevalence "reflect differences in diagnostic practice rather than true differences in behavior." They're literally admitting ADHD prevalence is about diagnostic opinion, not biological reality.Even establishment researchers like Faraone admit that ADHD prevalence varies 20-fold based on diagnostic criteria used, not actual differences in children's behavior. They acknowledge it's diagnostic practice, not disease prevalence, that creates these massive variations. This 2003 paper proves psychiatry has known for decades that ADHD rates are artificially inflated by American diagnostic criteria.The Irony: This paper, trying to prove ADHD is universal, actually proves it's a diagnostic construct that changes based on which manual you use. That's not how real diseases work.

Keith Bodnarchuk, President and CEO, and Andy Carmichael, VP of Exploration of Cosa Resources Corp. (TSXV: COSA) (OTCQB: COSAF) (FSE: SSKU), both join me to review the news released on October 14th which announced the identification of multiple high priority follow up drill targets at the Darby Project.  Darby is a joint venture (JV) between Cosa and Denison Mines Corp. (TSX: DML) (NYSE American: DNN) and is located 10 kilometres west of Cameco's Cigar Lake Mine in the eastern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. Cosa is the project operator and holds a 70% interest with Denison holding a 30% interest.   Keith starts us up highlighting the prospective geology and historic work that made the Darby Project a vital component of the JV transaction with Denison. The recent identification of new drill targets as a results further analysis from the exploration team supports Cosa's thesis that Darby is a mature, discovery-ready project that will receive drilling in the year to come.   The identification of highly prospective drill ready targets came as a result of extensive historical drill core and data review at the Delta and Charlie trends by Cosa's Chairman Steve Blower and VP Exploration Andy Carmichael, as they relogged all historical Darby drill holes in June of this year. Their work confirmed desktop interpretations and generated immediate follow up targets.   When the team at Cosa reviewed the historic work by prior operators, it interpreted that of 31 drill holes on the Property targeting conductive anomalies only 13 (42%) explained their target and only six (19%) were effective evaluations of the targeted area, leaving over 80% of the Projects' 40 kilometres of conductive strike length untested. Multiple historical drill holes intersected features suggesting proximity to uranium mineralization – warranting direct follow-up drilling in the future.   Andy mentioned that with a more experienced scientific understanding and framework today, and by applying the same target identification approach that led them to discover the Hurricane Deposit in 2018, that they are very encouraged by the historical data and drill core. Coincident alteration, illite, and chlorite plus broad zones of anomalous uranium in the lower sandstone are strong indicators of a uranium bearing system in the eastern Athabasca including at the nearby Cigar Lake mine.   The Company will begin the approaching 2026 drilling season with highly prospective follow up targets at both Darby and Murphy Lake North. Keith mentioned that they are looking forward to finalizing drilling plans and budgets their joint venture partner and largest shareholder, Denison Mines, and discussed the benefit of their continued guidance and support on these exploration initiatives.     If you have any questions for Keith or Andy regarding Cosa Resources, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.     Click here to follow the most recent news from Cosa Resources   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks: https://kereport.substack.com/ https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/   Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.
