Solving Insomnia: 5 Proven strategies to help you sleep through the night is a series published in Authority Magazine. This episode is part of that interview. Shawna Robins asked, "What would you advise for people should do if they wake up and can't fall back to sleep. Dr. Vickie's answers might surprise you. Check out Authority Magazine for the full interview coming soon.  5 Proven Strategies to Help You Sleep Through the Night Adjust your expectations: It is normal to wake up 5-7 times during the night. But trying harder to sleep makes sleeping harder.  Don't do clock math. Calculating how much sleep you'll get if you fall asleep now is counterproductive.  Rest, just rest. Embrace non-sleep restorative rest.  Turn off your mind. This one is definitely hard. Try cognitive shuffling.  Get out of bed if laying there is distressing. If you can't relax, get up and leave the bedroom and do something boring or soothing until you feel sleepy.  Solving insomnia isn't easy. Check out the resources on my website.

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Guest: Nick Maggiulli is the Chief Operating Officer and Data Scientist at Ritholtz Wealth Management. He is the best-selling author of Just Keep Buying: Proven Ways to Save Money and Build Your Wealth, and his latest book is called The Wealth Ladder. Nick is also the author of OfDollarsAndData.com, a blog focused on the intersection of data and personal finance. Notes: Money works as an enhancer, not a solution: Like salt enhances food flavors, money amplifies existing life experiences but has little value by itself without relationships, health, and purpose. "Money by itself is useless... without friends, family, without your health, it doesn't add much... it enhances all the other parts of life." Nick beat his dad's friends at chess when he was 5 years old because he practiced more than they did. He got more reps. He did the work. It's not that he was a chess prodigy. He just worked harder than his opponents did. And he still does that today. Practice creates expertise beyond intelligence: At five years old, Maggiulli could beat adults at chess not because he was smarter, but because he had more practice. Consistent effort over time can outcompete raw talent. "I could beat them, not because I was smarter than them, only because I had practiced something... In this very specific realm, I could beat them." Consistent writing builds compound advantages: Writing 10 hours every weekend for nine years created opportunities including book deals and career advancement. The discipline of regular practice compounds over time. "I've been writing for nine years... I spend 10 hours a week every single week for almost a decade now, and that helps over time." The most expensive thing people own is their ego. How do you add value when you're in a job that doesn't have a clear scoreboard (like sales)? Think... What gets accomplished that otherwise wouldn't have without you? Add value through time savings and efficiency: In roles where impact isn't immediately measurable, focus on how much time and effort you save others. Create systems that make your colleagues more efficient. "How do I save our operations team time? How do I save our compliance team time... I'm designing better oars that'll give us 10% more efficiency." Money amplifies existing happiness: Research shows that if you're already happy, more money will make you happier. But if you're unhappy and not poor, more money won't solve your problems. "If you're happy already, more money will make you happier... but if you aren't poor and you aren't happy, more money's not gonna do a thing." Ego is the most expensive thing people own: Trying to appear wealthier than you are prevents actual wealth building. Focus on substance over status symbols. "People in level three that wanna look like people in level four end up spending so much money to keep up with the Joneses." Follow your interests for long-term success: Passion sustains you through inevitable obstacles and rejection. Maggiulli wrote for three years without earning money because he genuinely enjoyed it. "Follow your interest because when you follow your interest, you're more likely to keep going when you face obstacles." The "Die with Zero" philosophy, advocated by Bill Perkins, encourages people to prioritize experiences and fulfillment over accumulating maximum wealth, suggesting spending money strategically to maximize lifetime enjoyment. Nick defines six levels of wealth based on net worth, ranging from $0 to over $100 million. These levels are: Level 1: $0-$10,000 (paycheck-to-paycheck), Level 2: $10,000-$100,000 (grocery freedom), Level 3: $100,000-$1 million (restaurant freedom), Level 4: $1 million-$10 million (travel freedom), Level 5: $10 million-$100 million (house freedom), and Level 6: $100 million+ (philanthropic freedom).  Nick also notes a shift in asset allocation as one progresses through the levels. In the lower levels, a larger portion of wealth is tied up in non-income-producing assets like cars, while higher levels see a greater emphasis on income-producing assets like stocks and real estate. Wealth strategies must evolve by level: The approach that gets you to level four ($1M-$10M) won't get you to level five ($10M-$100M). Higher wealth levels typically require entrepreneurship or equity ownership. "The strategy that you use to get into level four is not going to be the strategy that gets you out." Know when "enough" is enough: Level four wealth ($1M-$10M) may be sufficient for most people. The sacrifices required to reach higher levels often aren't worth the marginal benefits. "The rational response for an American household once they get into level four is... maybe I take my foot off the gas and just enjoy life more." As a data scientist, Nick leverages data to provide business intelligence insights at Ritholtz Wealth Management, where he also serves as Chief Operating Officer. His work involves analyzing data to answer business questions, identify trends, and build predictive models. For example, he might analyze lead conversion rates, client attrition, or investment patterns to inform business decisions. Financial independence requires separate identities: Maintain individual financial accounts within marriage for independence and easier asset division. Pool resources for shared expenses while preserving autonomy. "Everyone needs to have their own accounts. They need to have their own money... especially important for women." Nick and his wife have a joint + separate bank account(s). Here's how it works: All of your income and your partner's income flows into this joint account. That income is used to pay for all shared expenses. Any excess left in the account (above a certain threshold) can either be left in the account or distributed equally between you and your partner (to your separate accounts).

Jumping into the world of YouTube isn't just about pointing a camera and chatting away. Sure, that sounds like a walk in the park, but it's actually more like a hike up a mountain with a backpack full of gear. You'll need a decent camera, lighting that doesn't make you look like a ghost, and let's not forget the audio – because, believe me, if your audio is garbage, you might as well be not start video. Everyone's quick to say, ‘Oh, it's easy!' But if you want to grow your channel, it's not just about slapping some content together; it's about your thumbnail, your title, and that all-important first 30 seconds that keeps viewers from bolting faster than a cat from a cucumber. If you're not doing that for your audio it is more work.And don't even get me started on the thumbnails! You think you can just throw any old picture up there and call it a day? Nope! It's got to be eye-catching, intriguing, and maybe a tad clickbaity to get those lazy viewers to stop scrolling and actually watch. You know, the kind of thumbnail that screams, ‘Click me! I'm more interesting than your ex's new partner!' So, while you're busy filming your masterpiece, make sure you're also crafting a title that promises something juicy. After all, that title is like a promise to your listeners and if you don't deliver, guess what? They're not coming back.A Video StrategyTo really make your mark on YouTube, it's about strategy, baby! Think of it as a game of chess where every move counts. You need to plan your title, thumbnail, and hook like your channel depends on it – because it does! And if you're feeling overwhelmed by the thought of it all, don't worry; even the pros use tools like Vidiq to help them navigate the chaotic waters of YouTube. So, buckle up, get that gear ready, and remember: it's not just about talking into a camera; it's about crafting an experience that your audience will want to dive into headfirst. Happy filming!Takeaways: YouTube can be a blast if you have the time and budget, but it's a lot of work! People think recording video is just talking into a camera, but oh boy, it's way more complex! To really grow on YouTube, you gotta focus on the title, thumbnail, and first 30 seconds, not just the content. Don't underestimate how much effort goes into making a good thumbnail; it can make or break your video! Audio is king, but in video, the thumbnail and title are your best friends, so don't ignore them!

5 Proven Strategies to Stop Binge Eating and Reclaim Your Life Synopsis: Binge Eating Disorder is the most common—and most misunderstood—eating disorder in the world. Many people blame themselves, chalking their struggles up to a lack of willpower or addiction, never realizing there's a real psychological reason behind their pain. In this powerful session, renowned psychoanalyst Dr. Nina Savelle-Rocklin reveals the emotional roots beneath binge eating, drawing on her own journey from years of suffering to true recovery. Dr. Nina will share five proven strategies that go far beyond dieting or self-discipline. Instead, she'll guide you through the process of “emotional gardening”—getting to the root causes hidden below the surface. With warmth, expertise, and real-life wisdom, Dr. Nina will help you recognize and address the real reasons behind binge eating so you can create lasting freedom and finally reclaim your life. Discover the practical steps Dr. Nina has used with countless clients—and in her own life—to break the cycle of binge eating for good. Learn why food is never the real problem, how to identify the emotional triggers sabotaging your peace, and walk away with actionable tools to nurture healing from the inside out. Bio: Dr. Nina's personal history fuels her passion for helping others. She once considered herself "the poster child for eating disorders." After struggling for 15 years, she went to therapy for anxiety. She never disclosed her disordered eating to her therapist, yet she left therapy completely healed from all eating disorders. How was this possible? Food was never the problem; it was a negative "solution" to the problem. She became a psychotherapist because she wanted to help other people liberate themselves and find peace. Dr. Nina knows that our hidden emotions and conflicts have power over us. She believes in "emotional gardening" to get to the roots of why we're stuck. Just as we cannot see a root, but it grows the weeds, our hidden thoughts lead to the behaviors that cause pain. By digging deep, we get rid of the emotional roots and create lasting freedom. She is on the board of Rose City Center, a psychoanalytically informed flexible fee counseling and training center, where she is the Director of the Development Committee. The center's mission is to provide psychotherapy services to underserved communities throughout California. As the mother of two daughters–one biological and one adopted from China–she advocates adoption and believes that love is born in the heart. She and her family sponsor three children through Love Without Boundaries. Her special needs deaf Great Dane named Zane is also a member of the family, and the ASPCA is another favored charity. When she is not treating patients or coaching clients, you can find her hugging trees in her backyard, weight training, or watching romantic comedies with her family.  Website: https://drninainc.com/ Book: The Binge Cure https://drninainc.com/the-binge-cure/ Video Version: https://www.youtube.com/live/XTV8kh1h6Mk?si=W2I_ihiWIXSHdreF Chat with Teresa during Live Show with Video Stream: write a question on YouTube Learn more about Teresa here: https://www.webebookspublishing.com    http://authenticendeavorspublishing.com/

In this episode of Building Better Developers, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche explore how to improve team collaboration in software development through the lens of AI-driven insights. Whether you're a solo developer, part of a tight-knit team, or scaling across departments, collaboration remains the backbone of efficiency and success. What Does Collaboration Mean in Development? AI kicked off the discussion with a powerful insight: define “efficiency” in context. But more importantly, it highlighted that collaboration fuels efficiency, not just working faster, but working better. Effective collaboration avoids: Redundant work Misunderstood requirements Tech debt and burnout Rob emphasized that a productive team isn't rushing through tasks but solving the correct problems—together—on the first try. Collaboration Strategies for Solo Developers Even solo developers need structured collaboration between their tools, their future selves, and their automation stack. Top collaboration tips for independent devs: Use opinionated frameworks like Next.js or Rails to minimize decision fatigue. Automate repetitive tasks early to save time in the long run. Commit code regularly with meaningful messages. Document workflows using Notion, Obsidian, or Jira—even if you're the only one using them. Containerize development environments for repeatability and rapid setup. “Solo doesn't mean siloed. Collaborate with your tools, your past decisions, and future goals.” Enhancing Collaboration in Small Development Teams For teams of 2–10 developers, Rob and Michael discussed how tight feedback loops and structured communication are essential to avoid chaos. Recommended practices for small team collaboration: Short, focused daily standups Shared development environments Lightweight Agile or Kanban boards Early investment in CI/CD pipelines Use of pair programming or mob programming for knowledge sharing Michael emphasized Agile's power in synchronizing team efforts, avoiding duplicated work, and solving problems more efficiently as a unit. “Agile helps teams collaborate—not just communicate. It keeps everyone moving in the same direction.” Solving Common Bottlenecks Together AI highlighted four universal collaboration pain points and solutions: Slow Code Reviews - Use SLAs and rotate reviewers Unclear Requirements - Kick off with 15-minute clarification huddles Testing Paralysis - Focus on integration tests and avoid overtesting Context Switching - Block dedicated focus hours Michael zeroed in on testing paralysis, especially in early-stage projects, where developers are too busy scaffolding to write tests. Without collaboration on testing plans, critical issues may be overlooked until it is too late. Rob addressed context switching, warning against excessive meetings that fragment developer flow. Leads should shield devs from distraction by delivering distilled, actionable feedback. Final Thoughts on Collaborative Development As teams grow, minor issues scale fast, and so do inefficiencies. Tools, meetings, workflows, and expectations must all scale intentionally. Rob reminded leaders to summarize and distill information before passing it to their teams and to make clever use of tools like AI, recordings, and summaries to keep everyone aligned without wasting time. “If you're building better developers, you're also building better collaborators.” Take Action: Build Collaboration Into Your Workflow Reassess your standups and review cycles Empower solo devs with documentation and CI/CD Streamline onboarding with containers Test early, test together Protect team focus time Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting, there's always room to learn and grow together.

No one ever plans to be laid off—but in an uncertain job market, the most successful professionals are the ones who plan not to be. Last week, I hit the first part one of my layoff survival series with Top 7 Reasons for Layoffs and Questions to Ask to Avoid Them. In my newest lesson, I share 10 powerful strategies to make yourself indispensable at work—the kind of employee companies fight to keep, not cut. I covered: How to consistently deliver measurable results your company can't ignore. The exact skills that make you layoff-resistant in any industry. Smart ways to stay visible (without bragging) and build influence with decision-makers. Why adaptability and financial awareness can protect your role. The mindset shift that helps you spot company risk—and prepare early. If you're not actively working to become indispensable, you may be more replaceable than you think. Today's lesson will show you how to strengthen your position inside your company, build long-term career security, and create opportunities even in uncertain times. You don't need to be worried. You just need to be ready. If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings: 1.
