Paul Thomas Anderson) Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, and Burt Reynolds. OK, pump the brakes, before we start...this is a commentary about predatory practices in the entertainment industry as a whole (What? No!)?! We go deep on the real life ramifications of the joys of drug use, putting various acts on tape(s), the explosion of popularity of VHS cassette itself, and the ones we watched at school. Also, how big does the needle have to be for all these drops; 16, 17 inches? Listen now!

Creatine is undergoing a massive cultural shift. No longer confined to bodybuilding subcultures and gym shakers, this deeply researched supplement is having a mainstream renaissance. Today, the conversation on social media isn't just about muscle hypertrophy—it's being driven by women, busy parents, and adults in their 40s and 50s who are discovering its profound benefits for cognitive health, cellular energy, and menopause support. Despite its science-backed benefits, a significant barrier to entry has remained: the friction of consumption. Modern consumers want the cognitive and physical advantages of creatine, but they don't want the hassle of carrying shaker bottles, mixing powders at the office, or prepping supplements before a PTA meeting. Recognizing this shift in consumer behavior, JiMMYBAR! spent 19 months and 167 formulation batches to solve the ultimate functional food challenge: stability. Because creatine traditionally degrades quickly when exposed to moisture or processed into food products, creating a shelf-stable format required rigorous food science innovation. Following 15 months of strict stability testing, JiMMYBAR! has successfully launched America's first stable creatine protein bar. This innovation removes the friction from functional wellness, making the daily benefits of creatine accessible, portable, and delicious for a broad American demographic. The Problem: Traditional creatine powders require liquid mixing, cause mess, and lack portability for non-gym settings. The Formulation Challenge: Creatine is notoriously unstable in standard food production, often converting into the useless byproduct creatinine. The Solution: 19 months of R&D and 15 months of rigorous stability testing to ensure active, effective creatine delivery in every bite. The Flavor Profile: Formulated to match JiMMYBAR!'s signature taste standard, bypassing the gritty texture common in powder alternatives. Behind this breakthrough is a unique brother-sister founding team dedicated to democratizing clean, functional nutrition. Driven by the belief that high-performance ingredients should fit seamlessly into everyday life, the founders spearheaded the exhaustive R&D process required to bring this first-to-market product to grocery shelves. By bridging the gap between clinical-grade supplementation and grab-and-go convenience, JiMMYBAR! is shifting the narrative from "gym gains" to everyday vitality.

What if "student voice" isn't the goal? In this episode, guest Adam Fletcher reframes the conversation around Meaningful Student Involvement—a deeper, more transformative approach built on student–adult partnerships, confronting adultism, and cultivating personal engagement from kindergarten through graduation. Adam argues that education is not just preparation for democracy—it is the bedrock of civil society itself. When students are true partners in learning, teaching, and leadership, schools become places where young people practice being community members, decision-makers, and engaged citizens now. You'll walk away with practical frameworks (the Three-Legged Stool of School Transformation and the Cycle of Student Engagement) and real examples from classrooms, schools, and national initiatives that make this work tangible at any level. What You'll Learn Why student voice alone is not enough The difference between student voice, engagement, and meaningful involvement How adultism quietly shapes schools—and how to confront it What personal engagement really looks like (beyond compliance) The Three-Legged Stool: structure, culture, and attitudes The Cycle of Student Engagement: listen → validate → authorize → act → reflect Concrete examples from a classroom, a school, and a national policy initiative Why meaningful student involvement may be the most important response to AI in schools Timestamps 00:00 Why students must be drivers in a transformative time 02:00 What "meaningful student involvement" really means 03:00 What student voice is—and what it is not 05:00 Student–adult partnerships explained 06:30 Understanding and confronting adultism 08:10 Personal engagement vs. compliance 12:15 The Three-Legged Stool: structure, culture, attitudes 16:00 The Cycle of Student Engagement framework 20:00 Examples: national PTA policy work, a K–12 school transformation, and a third-grade classroom 24:00 Common challenges: competition vs. collaboration in education systems 26:30 AI, corporate interests, and why student involvement matters more than ever 28:00 Where to start: The Guide to Meaningful Student Involvement 31:00 Learning from non-white and Indigenous perspectives on democracy 33:00 Where to find Adam's free resources and publications Get Your Episode Freebie & More Resources On My Website: https://www.lindsaybethlyons.com/blog/258 Connect with guest Adam Fletcher  Website: adamfletcher.net

Starting an LLC as a PTA, treating blind patients in home health, and what a startup shutdown looks like from the inside — Kenny covers two years of non-traditional career moves in one episode. Kenny left his first outpatient clinic for a startup, moved into an unexpected clinical director role when one of the owners left, and then watched the whole thing shut down in 30 days — on his birthday. From there he turned down three job offers and started his own LLC as a home health contractor while navigating new fatherhood. In this episode: What treating a 100% blind home health patient actually looks like — no demonstrations, all verbal and tactile cues The flexibility scales: why inconsistent income can be worth it when you have a family to work around What starting an LLC as a PTA actually involves, and what nobody teaches you in school The mortgage reveal: the one thing he wishes someone had warned him about before he became tax-efficient as an LLC contractor Subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Podbean.

On February 16th, 2011, police officers arrived at an elementary school in Irvine, California, demanding to speak with PTA president and school volunteer Kelli Peters after receiving an anonymous tip claiming she had been driving erratically around the school and had drugs in her car. Officers searched Kelli's vehicle and discovered marijuana, a pipe, and prescription pills inside. Kelli insisted they weren't hers and pleaded with the officers, who agreed the circumstances seemed suspicious. But no one could have prepared for the truth that would eventually come to light.This episode is sponsored by:Casper: save up to 30% on mattresses and up to 35% on everything else when you go to Casper.com. Hiya Health: receive 50% off your first order.

What are the best movies from six of the greatest directors ever? Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns go filmmaker by filmmaker through the careers of Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Paul Thomas Anderson, Stanley Kubrick, and Christopher Nolan to choose the films that best define each director. From Tarantino's pop-culture-changing Pulp Fiction to Scorsese's gangster classic Goodfellas, Fincher's dark thriller Seven, PTA's powerhouse drama There Will Be Blood, Kubrick's horror landmark The Shining, and Nolan's massive historical epic Oppenheimer, this episode is a full movie-lover deep dive. The guys also discuss the difference between a director's “best” movie and their personal favorite, why some films age better than others, and how certain movies reshape an entire genre. Before the main topic, Lance and Tyler review recent viewings including Who Will Stop the Rain?, Marathon Man, Billy Idol Should Be Dead, Hooper, Widow's Bay, Mortal Kombat 2, and Batman Beyond. #BestFilms #BestMovies #LegendaryDirectors #QuentinTarantino #MartinScorsese #ChristopherNolan #StanleyKubrick #DavidFincher #PaulThomasAnderson #PulpFiction #Goodfellas #Oppenheimer #TheShining #TheNextReel #moviereview SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - / @nextroundlive FOLLOW TNR ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zlofzLZht7dYxjNcBNpWN FOLLOW TNR ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-round/id1797862560 WEBSITE: https://nextroundlive.com/ MOBILE APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-round/id1580807480 SHOP THE NEXT ROUND STORE: https://nextround.store/ Like TNR on Facebook: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Twitter: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Instagram: / nextroundlive Follow everyone from the show on Twitter: Jim Dunaway: / jimdunaway Ryan Brown: / ryanbrownlive Lance Taylor: / thelancetaylor Scott Forester: / scottforestertv Tyler Johns: /TylerJohnsTNR Sponsor the show: sales@nextroundlive.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Een betekenisvol schoolexamen krijgt vorm wanneer scholen hun visie, vakmanschap en vertrouwen in leerlingen met elkaar verbinden. Wat wil je dat leerlingen laten zien? Welke toetsvorm past daarbij? En hoe kan het Programma van Toetsing en Afsluiting (PTA) ruimte bieden voor eigenaarschap, samenhang en verdieping? Dit is de derde aflevering in een drieluik over het waardevol schoolexamen, gemaakt in samenwerking met de VO-raad en het programma Voortgezet Leren. Centraal staat de vraag hoe je samen werkt aan een schoolexamen dat niet alleen zorgvuldig en betrouwbaar is, maar ook herkenbaar aansluit bij de identiteit van de school en de ontwikkeling van leerlingen. Te gast zijn Maaike Ditzel, docent Nederlands op Dalton Den Haag, mentor van 6V, schoolopleider en voorzitter van de examencommissie, en Sjabbo Smedes, teamleider van de mavo aan het Bonhoeffer College in Enschede. Aan de hand van voorbeelden zoals leeskringen, mondelinge examens, flexibele toetsvormen en een profielwerkstuk in de vorm van een dichtbundel laten zij zien hoe toetsing meer betekenis kan krijgen. Maaike vertelt over een oud-leerling die haar eigen poëzie wilde uitgeven en daarbij onderzoek deed naar puberpoëzie, vormgeving, papierkeuze en publicatie. Zo werd het profielwerkstuk niet alleen een verplicht eindproduct, maar een persoonlijk en inhoudelijk leerproces waarin ruimte ontstond om vakinhoud, eigenaarschap en creativiteit met elkaar te verbinden. De examencommissie speelt daarin een belangrijke rol: als bewaker van kwaliteit, maar ook als gesprekspartner die helpt om ruimte binnen de kaders goed te benutten. Kernpunten uit het gesprek:

Každý z nás už bol aspoň raz zmanipulovaný. Svetlom... Lebo či už ste boli na dobrom koncerte, v divadle, na evente alebo v jaskyni, keď ste odišli spokojní, môže za to aj dobrý svetelný dizajn. Najlepší je ten, ktorý diváka či návštevníka manipuluje – vedie ho konkrétnym smerom a posilňuje v ňom istú emóciu. Či sa to udeje a ako sa to udeje je prácou svetelného dizajnéra Jána Ptačína. Ten už má okrem iného za sebou osvetlenie niekoľkých slovenských, ale aj svetových jaskýň. S čím musí bojovať svetelný dizajnér pri osvetľovaní jaskyne a kde všade môžete vidieť Jánov rukopis – aj o tom je tento diel Nedeľnej Talkshow.

This week we continue our Paul Thomas Anderseason with his San Fernando Valley epic, Boogie Nights. We talk about the inception of this film as a short, then later as a long ass script that had Hollywood abuzz.

On this episode of Next Level: Good Vibes Only, Jessica and Darren Salquist reflect on the journey of becoming—how growth doesn't happen all at once, but one intentional step at a time. Inspired by the Chinese proverb, “To get through the hardest journey, we need only take one step at a time, but we must keep stepping,” this conversation explores the power of momentum, self-awareness, and learning to celebrate how far you've already come. Through honest reflection, they unpack the tension between our past, present, and future selves—and how easy it is to become so focused on who we're trying to become that we forget to fully live in the present moment. Jessica and Darren share personal stories about transformation, journaling, meditation, fitness, identity shifts, healthy aging, and the quiet victories that often go unnoticed by everyone else but deeply matter to us. No matter where you are in your journey, this episode will encourage you to keep stepping, keep growing, and keep showing up for the life you're creating.Follow Darren Salquist, Life Changer, Self-Mastery + Heroic Performance Coach, PTA, and Personal TrainerIG: @salquid ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/salquid/⁠⁠Linkedin ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/darren-salquist-3836b770/⁠⁠FB: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/darren.salquist?mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠⁠Follow Jessica Salquist, Life Changer, Nationally Board Certified Reflexologist, Heroic Performance Coach, and Executive LeaderIG: @reflexologyjedi ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/reflexologyjedi/⁠⁠Linkedin: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-salquist-46b07772/⁠⁠FB: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/salquistjessica?mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠⁠Find us both on IG @nextlevelreflexologycoaching ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/nextlevelreflexologycoaching⁠⁠Wellness + Coaching — Next Level Coaching and Reflexology Website: ⁠⁠www.nextleveltransformationalcoaching.com⁠⁠ Check out Heroic.us to enroll in a coaching program and be part of an amazing community.Buy the book Arete here: ⁠⁠https://a.co/d/ctXhK7A⁠⁠ (on Amazon)

Send us Fan MailYou pull into the driveway after a full day. Patients, staff, meetings, inbox, all of it. You open the door and immediately there are more people who need something from you. And you have nothing left.If you have ever sat in your car in the driveway just a little longer than you needed to, you are not broken. You are not someone who doesn't love the people waiting for you inside. You are someone who has been on stage all day with no time off stage. And today we are going to fix that.What we cover in this episode:On Stage vs. Off Stage: What It Actually MeansOn stage is any time your energy is going outward. You are performing in some kind of role, whether that is physician, leader, parent, partner, or PTA secretary. It includes clinic, charting, inbox, staff interactions, and yes, family time counts too if you are managing emotions and playing a role.Off stage is genuine time where there is no performance element. You are just a human being allowed to exist. A solo walk, reading for pleasure, crafting, time with friends who know all your secrets and expect nothing from you. It is not scrolling social media while you tell yourself you are resting. It is actual restoration.The Gray ZoneSome time feels like it should be off stage but is actually draining you. Social media is the big one. If you are reaching for your phone out of habit and putting it down feeling worse, that is gray zone time, not off stage time. We have to be honest about this or the audit will not work.Introversion, Extroversion, and What You Actually NeedThis is a spectrum, not a binary. More introverted physicians need quiet solo time to recharge. More extroverted physicians might actually need more time with people they genuinely choose, not just the people at work. Neither is better. Both require intention. And where you fall on that spectrum can shift depending on stress, illness, life season, and what you are carrying right now.The AuditThis is a doing episode. Here is what we are walking through together:Step 1: Map one to two weeks of your actual schedule. One week if your schedule is fixed. Two or more if you are a hospitalist, nocturnist, or work variable hours. Include work time AND home time. Both matter.Step 2: Label everything. On stage, off stage, or gray zone. Be honest. Family time that feels like a performance goes in the on stage column even if you love your family deeply.Step 3: Look at the ratio. Where is your off stage time? Is there any? How does that balance feel?Step 4: Reflect. Does this match what you actually need given where you are on the introversion/extroversion spectrum? What would need to shift, even just slightly, to give you more of what you need?Making Changes Without Flipping the TableSmall shifts create sustainable change. Before you decide you need to leave medicine, consider whether you have actually had any off stage time lately. Not as a reason to stay if you truly need to go, but because we do not make our best decisions from a completely depleted state. Protect one or two off stage blocks per week.

An Unflinchingly Raw, Coming Out Memoir of Addiction, Trauma, and Recovery, Within the Landscape of NY/NJ and the Criminal Underworld of WaikikiTeen junkie. Criminal prodigy. Meth kingpin. PTA mom. Lesbian. Nikki Mammano has lived many lives, each with its soaring highs and crushing lows. Now, as a recovering addict and mother of two (young adults) in her 50s, Mammano tells her tale at last in BREAKING GOOD: A Memoir (March 2026; Regalo Press; ISBN: 979-8895651681; Trade Paperback Original; $19.99). At 20, Nikki arrived on the breathtaking island of Oahu, raring to start classes at the University of Hawaii and serious about turning over a new leaf. Before leaving the mainland, she had made a promise to herself not to party too hard, and her roommate Deb, a friend from her wild teenage years in New York's Hudson Valley, seemed to be on the same page. Yet to Nikki's surprise, Deb already had a roommate: her cokehead boyfriend. Within a flash, Nikki's college dreams and savings went up in smoke. By 22, she was a full-blown meth addict. Living on the streets of Oahu, she did whatever it took-begging, borrowing, stealing-to feed her habit. How the hell did she get there?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Forgive us our slight post-Oscar delay, dear listeners, but here we are for our eighth annual year-end review show, which we call 2025: Juke Joints and a Few Small Beers in honor of two of the year's (and perhaps the decade's or even the century's) most unforgettable films. This episode represents an exciting step for us as, for the first time, we welcome a guest: the redoubtable Kerry Cowan, brilliant teacher, lifelong film fan, and an old old friend of mine. Looking back at the year in film that was 2025, we noted that this was the first year since we started back in 2018 that we all really had trouble narrowing the field to a top ten. In the past, we've often had to stretch for the last couple, ending up with Top 7 or Top 8 lists. This year, as you shall see below and hear within, our problem was what to leave off. In a year of triumphs from sources both expected and unexpected, perhaps the best thing about the year was the return to form of some of our favorite directors: Coogler with "Sinners", PTA with "One Battle", our beloved Chloe with "Hamnet", Aronofsky with the underseen "Caught Stealing", Del Toro with "Frankenstein", Aster with "Eddington", Bigelow with "House of Dynamite" and the astonishing Richard Linklater with not one but two wonderful films. As always, we considered the eternal question of which of these films will be watched by anyone in 25 years, let alone show up the Sight and Sound poll in 2032. No doubt whatsoever about "Sinners" and "One Battle". I would throw "Eddington" on that list, as uneven as it is, since it points to a vivid moment in the American pageant, reminding us exactly when it was that we lost our minds. "Hamnet" will surely be there, and we suspect that the luminous "Train Dreams" might have some legs down the road. With Michael in the lead, we all loved "Sentimental Value" (besides the facial morph montage). None of us cared much for "Bugonia", though I actually came within 10 minutes of liking a Lanthimos film before that ending. We also ended up underwhelmed by "Marty Supreme", which personally killed me with its 50's setting clashing with 80's synth-pop throughout. Yes, we would have gotten the idea that the go-go Wall Street/American Psycho 80's had its roots in figures from the 50's like Marty without being hit over the head with it musically. Trust your audience, filmmakers! As for the Oscars themselves, it was another great party this year, only slightly spoiled by the fact that Michael won the pool by a landslide again this year. It's now 98 years and running with no black person winning for Best Director, but it's hard to complain about Paul Thomas Anderson finally winning after 14 nominations in almost 30 years of work. And the Cinematography award going to Autumn Durald Arkapaw, the first woman and black person to win that one, indicates that we may in fact be making progress. And they got it right with Michael B (finally), the lit-from-within Jessie Buckley (best acceptance speech), and "Sentimental Value"'s win for Foreign Language Film. As for the show itself, Conan was fine, though the bits were hit and miss as usual. We loved the "Bridesmaids" reunion, the "Moulin Rouge!" one not so much, and loved the painfully accurate "Casablanca" bit with Sterling K. Brown where plot elements have to be restated every couple of minutes or so to accommodate declining attention spans. And they finally got the necrology right, though we wish we had more time to see who came onstage for Rob Reiner; Rachel McAdams' tribute to Diane Keaton was lovely, but it did turn out that Babs' singing voice was not exactly like butter. So kick back, relax, and enjoy Kerry's star turn as our D'Artagnan, our Fourth Musketeer, as Team Vintage Sand reflects and reports on what was perhaps the best year in film since we started this lunacy some eight years ago, in the Before Time.

On this episode of Next Level: Good Vibes Only, Jessica and Darren Salquist sit down with Kelly Dean Yagelniski to explore a powerful idea—what if you treated your life like your most important project?Drawing from his book Master Life Projects, Kelly shares how so many of us are highly effective in managing work, deadlines, and responsibilities—yet struggle to bring that same structure and intentionality into our personal lives.  After facing his own challenges with stress, health, and misalignment, Kelly realized that life deserves the same level of planning, clarity, and execution as any professional project. This conversation dives into how to break big goals into 30-60-90 day “life projects,” focus on what truly matters, and build momentum through small, consistent daily actions.Together, they unpack the biggest obstacles people face—low energy, too many priorities, and self-doubt—and introduce a powerful tool: the Minimum Viable Project. Instead of waiting for the perfect plan, it's about taking the smallest meaningful step forward today.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck in “I'll get to it someday,” this episode will help you simplify, focus, and start designing your life with intention.Your life isn't something you manage later—it's the project you build right now.Find Kelly Dean Yagelniski's book, "Mastering Life Projects" at https://a.co/d/0djVXoQ7Get in touch with Kelly Dean YagelniskiEmail: kelly.dean@kdsi.caPhone: 403-690-1184LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kdyags/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kelly.yagelniskiAmazon Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G3FPY9SMFollow Darren Salquist, Life Changer, Self-Mastery + Heroic Performance Coach, PTA, and Personal TrainerIG: @salquid ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/salquid/⁠⁠Linkedin ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/darren-salquist-3836b770/⁠⁠FB: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/darren.salquist?mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠⁠Follow Jessica Salquist, Life Changer, Nationally Board Certified Reflexologist, Heroic Performance Coach, and Executive LeaderIG: @reflexologyjedi ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/reflexologyjedi/⁠⁠Linkedin: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-salquist-46b07772/⁠⁠FB: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/salquistjessica?mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠⁠Find us both on IG @nextlevelreflexologycoaching ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/nextlevelreflexologycoaching⁠⁠Wellness + Coaching — Next Level Coaching and ReflexologyWebsite: ⁠⁠www.nextleveltransformationalcoaching.com⁠⁠ Check out Heroic.us to enroll in a coaching program and be part of an amazing community.Buy the book Arete here: ⁠⁠https://a.co/d/ctXhK7A⁠⁠ (on Amazon)

Veľa každodenných procesov riešime dizajnovo, ale nevnímame to tak. Napriek tomu je dizajn v podnikaní i v bežnom živote všadeprítomný, a to z neho robí strategickú biznisovú disciplínu. „Dizajn je najlepší vtedy, keď si ho nevšímame. Vtedy máme pocit, že je to úplne samozrejmé, hoci niekto vynaložil veľa úsilia, aby to tak navrhol,“ hovorí v rozhovore Jakub Ptačin, dizajnér, podnikateľ a majiteľ Studia Echt. Kedy je správny okamih, aby značky zmenili svoj dizajn? „Čas na redizajn prichádza vtedy, keď chcú niečo nové povedať, keď nastala vo firme nejaká zmena – napríklad sú modernejší, ako vyzerajú, prišli s nejakou inováciou alebo prichádzajú na nový trh.“ V procese rebrandingu je často najťažšie, keď má firma identifikovať svoju unikátnosť a práve vtedy pomáha externý pohľad. Dizajnér zdôrazňuje, že značka môže byť príjemná, estetická, ale aj vizuálne agresívna až vtieravá a napriek tomu funguje. Dôležité je, aby vždy naplnila očakávania. „Ak spotrebiteľ zistí, že značka nenapĺňa to, čo sľubuje, alebo že produkt nie je dobrý, už sa nevráti a môžete mať akokoľvek pekný vizuál.“ Špecifickým problémom Slovenska je, že mu chýbajú veľké a silné značky, ktoré by boli známe aj mimo hraníc. Nie je to pritom problém malého trhu. „Stačí sa pozrieť na Slovinsko – tam je Krka, Gorenje či Elan. Nám také silné značky veľmi chýbajú, pretože práve tie sú zdrojom kapitálu v krajine,“ hovorí dizajnér. Dizajn ovplyvňuje aj nástup AI. Podľa Ptačina pomáha tvoriť veľké množstvo relatívne dobrých aj výborných výstupov, ale zároveň nás extrémne zavaľuje. „Zrazu sa môže stať, že ľudia budú hľadať niečo úplne iné, nedokonalé, možno roztrasené a nakrútené starou kamerou.“ Kam teda smeruje dizajn budúcnosti? Moderuje Eva Mihočková. V rozhovore sa dozviete: prečo je dizajn strategická biznisová disciplína, kedy by značky mali redizajnovať, aké finančné straty predstavuje slabý brand, aký brand má Slovensko ako krajina, prečo na Slovensku chýbajú veľké značky, ako AI mení dizajn značiek.

What if the healthcare system your loved one relies on doesn't even know they need help until it's too late — and what would it look like if it did? In this Q1 2026 episode, Jamie Preston sits down with Matt Staub, CEO of Your Health, for a candid and wide-ranging look at how one of the country's largest home-based care providers is navigating the evolving landscape of value-based care, population health, and the human experience at the center of it all. Matt brings his characteristic clarity and heart to a conversation that is equal parts strategy, story, and honest reckoning with what the system still gets wrong. Key topics covered: Why 11% of patients account for 67% of all healthcare spending — and why most of them don't know they're in an ACO The evolution of value-based care: from quality-over-cost to outcomes + patient experience over total costs How Your Health is becoming proactive — not reactive — about falls, readmissions, and high-needs patients The quiet crisis of patient trust: down from 71% in 2020 to just 33% today, and what the correlation means for hospitalizations Real stories: a 79-year-old patient who went from barely existing to living fully — and Matt's own mom, who hasn't fallen since leaving the hospital after her stroke If you work in healthcare, advocate for someone in the system, or simply believe that better is possible — this episode will change the way you see what care can be.

Now that the children they raised are thriving, capable adults, Kelly brings a wealth of lived experience and hard-won wisdom from the school of hard knocks to every page she writes.

In this episode of The Healers Cafe Manon speaks with Dr. Marianne Pinkston, an MD and integrative medicine practitioner in San Antonio, Texas, shared her journey from traditional medicine to integrative practices. She discussed her personal battle with rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, and related health issues, emphasizing the importance of root cause medicine. Dr. Pinkston highlighted the metabolic health crisis, noting 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy. She stressed the need for personalized nutrition, exercise, and stress management. She also addressed the challenges of environmental toxins, hormonal imbalances, and the role of peptides in weight loss.  For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/dr-marianne-pinkston      Highlights from today's episode include:  Dr P says when women hit menopause and lose estrogen, their heart disease risk jumps to that of an 80‑year‑old man overnight, so smart, natural hormone support is crucial. Dr P explains everyday toxins (microplastics, fabric softeners, candles, plastics) drive estrogen dominance, disrupting hormones and promoting insulin resistance and weight gain. Manon explains correcting a hidden vitamin D deficiency (despite "normal" assumptions) dramatically improves your muscle function and ability to move/exercise, showing how one missed nutrient can block progress.

Balancing Automation and Authenticity: Real Estate Growth with Mark WeithornIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Mark Weithorn, the Founder and CEO of DPI Showcase Websites, to discuss the evolving intersection of high-tech tools and high-touch relationships. As the real estate market becomes increasingly digital, agents often struggle to find the "sweet spot" between efficient automation and the genuine human connection that closes deals. Mark shares his deep expertise in building MLS-linked platforms that handle the heavy lifting of marketing—from automated blogging to social media syndication—allowing realtors to step away from their screens and back into their communities.The "Mango Burrito" Strategy: Turning Digital Leads into Human RelationshipsThe primary challenge for the modern realtor is the temptation to "abdicate" their business to technology rather than using it to "automate" their success. Mark Weithorn explains that while having a website that pulls in real-time MLS listings and sends out weekly newsletters is essential for staying top-of-mind, these tools are merely the opening act for a personal follow-up. A built-in CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system serves as the digital brain of a brokerage, but it requires a human heart to function effectively. By using automation to handle routine birthday greetings and market reports, an agent buys back the time necessary to make a personal phone call or write a handwritten note—actions that differentiate a trusted advisor from a faceless algorithm.Success in real estate is frequently found in "low-hanging fruit"—the contacts already residing in an agent's smartphone. Mark suggests a simple yet profound exercise: scrolling through existing phone contacts to re-engage with past clients and acquaintances. This "Mango Burrito" approach emphasizes that your network is your net worth, but only if that network knows exactly what you do. By sending a personalized, non-salesy message to old contacts and inviting them to view updated website links, agents can reignite dormant referral engines. This strategy moves the focus from expensive cold-lead acquisition to the high-trust environment of existing relationships, where the conversion rate is naturally much higher.Beyond the digital sphere, Mark advocates for a return to "old school" visibility combined with modern consistency. Getting involved in local community groups—whether it's the PTA, a place of worship, or a local charity—builds the kind of long-term familiarity that breeds trust. He recommends a surprisingly simple physical tactic: distributing at least 1,000 business cards per year. In an age of digital noise, a physical card handed over during a genuine conversation at the gym or grocery store remains a powerful, low-pressure anchor. When an agent balances this local presence with a website that provides continuous value through automated education, they create a professional "omnipresence" that makes them the obvious choice when a neighbor is finally ready to buy or sell.About Mark WeithornMark Weithorn is the Founder and CEO of DPI Showcase Websites and a veteran in the real estate technology space. With a career dedicated to empowering realtors across the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, Mark specializes in creating "hands-off" marketing solutions that integrate MLS data with automated social media and email systems. He is a frequent speaker on the importance of balancing technological efficiency with community-based networking.About DPI Showcase WebsitesDPI Showcase Websites provides high-performance, MLS-integrated website solutions specifically designed for real estate agents and brokers. The company offers a "done-for-you" marketing suite that includes automated blog posting, social media syndication, and scheduled email newsletters. By focusing on ease of use and robust technical support, DPI Showcase allows real estate professionals to maintain a sophisticated online presence without the need for technical expertise.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeDPI Showcase Websites Official Website: https://dpishowcasewebsites.com/Mark Weithorn on LinkedIn: Connect with MarkKey Episode HighlightsAutomate vs. Abdicate: Why the best technology empowers personal interaction rather than replacing it.The Business Card Challenge: The power of distributing 1,000 cards a year to build local "top-of-mind" awareness.Mining Your Contacts: How to re-engage your existing phone list to uncover hidden referral opportunities.Done-For-You Marketing: A look at how automated blogging and social media sharing can save realtors hours of manual labor.Community Consistency: Why showing up regularly in local groups is the ultimate long-term lead generation strategy.ConclusionThe conversation with Mark Weithorn serves as a vital reminder that while technology has changed the way we work, it hasn't changed the reason people buy. By leveraging automated systems to handle the repetitive "noise" of marketing, you can focus on the "signal"—the deep, personal relationships that form the bedrock of a successful real estate career.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

It is a heartwarming partnership between senior citizens and elementary school students, a partnership where seniors from a local assisted living center are showing up and reading with kids in the library. On this episode of the Supercast, we take you to Oquirrh Elementary School. That's where we see first-hand how being book buddies is building connections and companionship between the students and seniors, and bridging a generation gap. But best of all, it is inspiring a love for literacy in young children who look forward to the monthly visits from their senior friends. Audio Transcription [MUSIC PLAYING] Teacher: One of my students came back in with a huge smile on her face. I asked her how Golden Hour was and she said that it was so much fun. She loves reading with the grandmas and grandpas. Oh, they get so excited. Diana: And then we had different kids this month and last month. And some of them said, “we have to go back. That was so fun.” They love it. [MUSIC PLAYING] Anthony Godfrey: Hello, and welcome to the Supercast. I'm your host, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. It is a heartwarming partnership among senior citizens and elementary school students, a partnership where seniors from a local assisted living center are showing up and reading with kids in the school's media center. On this episode of the Supercast, we take you to Oquirrh Elementary School. That's where we see firsthand how being book buddies is building connections and companionship among students and seniors and bridging a generation gap. But best of all, it is inspiring a love of literacy in young children who look forward to the monthly visits from their senior friends. [MUSIC PLAYING] Anthony Godfrey: We are here at Oquirrh Elementary School during Golden Hour Reading, where Sun Ridge Assisted Living residents are working with students to improve their reading skills. Let's listen in. [INTERPOSING VOICES] You're going to read your book and show them how awesome you are. Here, tell you what. Wow. Hey, have you ever seen--have you ever been driving with your parents and have you ever seen this before? Well, I have. That's a long you. Called-- Good job. Good job. Anthony Godfrey I'm talking now with one of our visitors and one of the students here at Oquirrh Elementary. Tell me your name, what grade you're in. Cooper: Cooper and first grade. Anthony Godfrey: And Cooper, how's first grade going? Cooper: Good. Anthony Godfrey: And what did you guys read today? Cooper: Going Fishing. Anthony Godfrey: Oh, Going Fishing. So what did you like most about the book? Cooper: Like you have to get a special hook, like as a fish, but it's not actually a fish on it, but there's no splashing. Anthony Godfrey: And does this make you want to be a fisherman? Cooper: Yes. I really want to go fishing with my dad. Anthony Godfrey: So go home today and tell him, “Dad, I read about fishing and it's time we go fishing.” Cooper: OK. Anthony Godfrey: All right, nice to meet you. So how did it feel to be read to? First introduce yourself and how did you feel being read to today? Dale Koth: Felt great. Anthony Godfrey: Tell me your name. Dale Koth: I'm Dale Koth. Anthony Godfrey: And you're one of the early volunteers to come visit, but I understand there's something in your history that would make that not much of a surprise that you want to be at an elementary school. Dale Koth: I'm a retired teacher, elementary school teacher. Anthony Godfrey: And where did you teach? Dale Koth: I taught at Terra Linda for a while, and I also taught at Southland Elementary. Anthony Godfrey: How long did you teach? When did you start and when did you finish? Dale Koth: OK, I taught for about 29 years. I think it was in 1974. Anthony Godfrey: Wow. Over 50 years ago. Dale Koth: That's right. That's right. Yeah, in a little town called Antimony, Utah. Anthony Godfrey: OK. Dale Koth: I had nine kids. Anthony Godfrey: Nine kids in your class? Dale Koth: Five in the third, five in the second, five in the first. Anthony Godfrey: Wow. Dale Koth: No kindergarten because there were no kindergarten kids there. Anthony Godfrey: And from there you went to-- Dale Koth: I went to-- I taught every year then I went to Blanding. Anthony Godfrey: Wow. Dale Koth: And I taught Blanding Elementary. I taught three years. Then we came to the Jordan School District and I started in Southland Elementary. Taught there for about, I don't know, three years. May have been longer, but I forget. And then I went to Quail Hollow and I taught at Quail Hollow for a long time. Anthony Godfrey: Oh, wow. Dale Koth: Yeah. Then I finished up at Terra Linda and that's where I retired. Anthony Godfrey: So did you retire in the early 2000s? Dale Koth: No. Kind of in the late-- oh, yes, it's the late 1990s. Anthony Godfrey: Oh, OK. Dale Koth: You might say, yeah. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Wow. All right. Well, so you've been enjoying retirement. But is this an exciting addition to your retirement routine? Dale Koth: Yeah, I think it's great. You know, you have a good successful experience here for you and for the kids. And you know, you're doing something. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Dale Koth: And I really like it. Anthony Godfrey: Good. How many times have you been? Dale Koth: This is my second time. Anthony Godfrey: What did you love most about teaching? Dale Koth: Just watching kids progress, learn something. Anthony Godfrey: In elementary, you get to see a lot of that. Dale Koth: Oh, yes. There was a lot of it. Anthony Godfrey: What grades did you teach most? Dale Koth: Third grade. Anthony Godfrey: Third grade. That's a big one. Dale Koth: Which was my favorite grade. Anthony Godfrey: Third was the favorite. Dale Koth: That was the age when they start cursive writing. Anthony Godfrey: Oh, yeah. Dale Koth: I don't know if they still-- do they still do cursive writing? Anthony Godfrey: It's more-- not like they used to. Let me put it that way. Not like they used to. Dale Koth: If you had your way. Anthony Godfrey: Not that weird Q that looks like a 2. No, we don't do that stuff anymore. Dale Koth: OK. Yeah. Also, they learn their multiplication facts. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Dale Koth: And you could just get into reading, and like what somebody told me, the kids can be smart at that age without being a smart aleck. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, that's right. Absolutely. Well, I really appreciate your coming and just getting to watch you with the students. It's really fun to see how much you get their attention right away. Dale Koth: Yeah. Anthony Godfrey: And they stay focused when they're reading with you. So thank you for doing that. Dale Koth: That's great. What's your name? Anthony Godfrey: I'm Dr. Godfrey. I'm Anthony Godfrey. I'm the superintendent for Jordan School District. Dale Koth: You're the superintendent? Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Dale Koth: I've worked here a long time, but I don't think I've ever met the superintendent. Anthony Godfrey: Well, it's very nice to meet you. Dale Koth: I forget names a lot. Anthony Godfrey: Barry Newbold? Dale Koth: Barry Newbold. I knew Barry Newbold, yes. Anthony Godfrey: It's very nice meeting you. Dale Koth: Well, nice meeting you Anthony Godfrey: And thanks for doing this. We look forward to seeing you back next month. Volunteer: Well, great. I'll be back. I'll be back. Anthony Godfrey: We're talking now with Principal Jennifer Ludlow about the program here at Oquirrh Elementary. I know it's new. What do you think so far? Jennifer Ludlow: I love it. It's like my favorite thing and I just grin from ear to ear the hour before they come and about two hours after. Awesome. Anthony Godfrey: There's a great immediate connect with the kids and these volunteers. Jennifer Ludlow: Yes. Anthony Godfrey: Tell me about how the kids have reacted to this. Jennifer Ludlow: Oh, they get so excited. And then we had different kids this month than last month and some of them were like, “we wanted to go back. That was so fun.” They love it and they just love opportunities to read with kids or read with somebody else and get some practice. So far, it's been really positive. Anthony Godfrey: Having a new audience when you're reading out loud, so I'm going to try to impress. It really puts you on the spot, but it also puts you at your best. It helps you really be focused. Jennifer Ludlow: So yeah. And we know kids learn to read through repetition and practice and so what a great opportunity for them to practice with somebody with a lot of wisdom and experience. And we love it. It's so great. Anthony Godfrey: Add some novelty to the day and another human connection, another adult rooting for them. Jennifer Ludlow: Exactly. Someone else on their team. Anthony Godfrey: Well, it's another great thing happening at Oquirrh Elementary. Thank you very much for letting us be here today. Jennifer Ludlow: Thank you. It was a pleasure. Anthony Godfrey: We're now talking with a member of the PTA and the School Community Council. Introduce yourself and tell us how you got this idea. Alicia Abbott: My name is Alicia Abbott. I am on the Community Council at Oquirrh Elementary, also on the PTA board. So we were reviewing the stats of the school last year, and it hurt my heart to see how many kids are not reading and are not doing math. And it hurt my soul. Like literally, I couldn't handle it. And our school is amazing. I don't want to diss on our school. Our school is awesome and I love Principal Ludlow. She's amazing, and our teachers and the community here is awesome. Anthony Godfrey: And tell me, what's the impact that you have seen for the seniors and for the students doing this? I know it's only been a month. Alicia Abbott: Oh, I'm not sure I've seen an impact yet, but I feel an energy and a love of the seniors for the community here. And the impact on these kids is going to be life-changing. They are literally changing lives and the direction of the lives that these kids are stuck in, they are going to be helping them for generations, really. If you help a child, you help a generation. So I'm so excited about it. Anthony Godfrey: I think it's very meaningful when someone from the community spends time. They know their teacher has to. They know their parents have to. But when someone's choosing to volunteer and come in and be a part of their lives, I think that's a big boost to students, even beyond literacy. Alicia Abbott: Well, I have kids. I wouldn't be OK if my kids couldn't read either. So you know what? We got to put in. If we have parents working three or four jobs just to try to put food on the family table, they need help. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, absolutely. Well, thank you for being a big part of that help and bringing this idea. I'm excited to see the impact that it has over the years. Alicia Abbott: Thank you. Anthony Godfrey: Stay with us when we come back. More with the seniors and students of Oquirrh Elementary School.

Please introduce yourself. Teacher: Hi, I'm Anashele. I'm a first-grade teacher at Oquirrh Elementary. One of my students came back in with a huge smile on her face. I asked her how Golden Hour was and she said that it was so much fun. She loves reading with the grandmas and grandpas. She was reading a book about pets and she said that it was so much fun because books help her learn. They make her brain grow every day and she loves to read because she has so much fun doing it. Really seeing them learn to read is my favorite thing because they walk in the door at the beginning of first grade really not knowing how to read. And now I have students like the student going to Golden Hour and reading her own story about pets. So I love seeing that growth throughout the year. Anthony Godfrey: Thank you very much. It's great to be here talking with you. We're here talking with another one of our volunteers today. Collette Craig: Collette Craig. Anthony Godfrey: Collette. Now I understand Collette, that you used to be a teacher. Collette Craig: Yes. Anthony Godfrey: Tell me about your teaching career. Collette Craig: I was a cluster teacher. Anthony Godfrey: Where was that? Collette Craig: Clusters were east side and then west side. I taught at, I think, nine different elementaries. Anthony Godfrey: What district were you in? Collette Craig: Jordan. Anthony Godfrey: In Jordan District. What were some of the schools where you worked? Collette Craig: Let's see. Midvale. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Collette Craig: Sandy. Then they went west to Terra LInda, but not at the same time. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Collette Craig: And Monte Vista, Heartland. Anthony Godfrey: Wow. You really did cover a lot of area. Collette Craig: Oh, yeah. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Collette Craig: If you know culture history, it was all east side at first. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Collette Craig: And then they opened up west side. Anthony Godfrey: Right. What years were you teaching? When did you start and when did you finish? Collette Craig: 1985, I think. Anthony Godfrey: Is that when you started? Collette Craig: Uh-huh. Anthony Godfrey: And when did you finish? Coll: I finished in 20 years later. Anthony Godfrey: 20 years later? OK. 2005. OK. Very good. And 20 years later, you're back volunteering, reading with students. Collette Craig: Yeah. Anthony Godfrey: How has that been? Tell me about that experience. Collette Craig: This is my first time. It's been good. I didn't know what to expect, but it's been good. Anthony Godfrey: Good. Tell me about the students you've worked with so far today. Collette Craig: Oh, they're great. They're cute. Yeah, they're great. What else can I say? The pH sound is really hard for them to grasp. Anthony Godfrey: The pH sound. Hey, it doesn't make sense. Why does pH sound the way it does? No one will ever know. What did you like most about teaching? Collette Craig: I liked it when they got something. When they finally understood something. You had spent weeks, sometimes months on the same thing, and they finally got it. It's like, yay. Anthony Godfrey: It's rewarding. It's rewarding. Well, you're helping do that again, so thank you. Collette Craig: You're welcome. Anthony Godfrey: We're talking now with the activities director from Sunridge Assisted Living and Memory Care. Thank you for talking with us today. Introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about what's happening. Diana: My name is Diana. I'm working in the center for eight years and we have a purpose to have activities with purpose. So this activity is amazing for our residents because they find their friendship. They have a purpose in life, teaching kids. Also, that bring memories to them. We have some teachers participating in the activity, and that is amazing for them. They really enjoy it. The first time when we came, they came back telling the other residents, “that was so fun. We teach kids. That was amazing.” So we want to back. And today, when we back, other friends came with them. So that is amazing. They found a purpose coming here. Anthony Godfrey: Tell us more about the facility. Diana: OK. Our community has two areas. One is for memory care. The other one is for assisted living. We have seniors with some difficult to walk or to get medicine. So we assist them to get the most normal life like they knew it. So part of that and really important part of the life is to have activities. So we have activities every day from Monday to Sunday and we have our clubs. We have sewing clubs, cooking clubs. We have outings. We go one time a month to a different restaurant. Each week, we go to Walmart or to Smith's to do shopping. We have also assisted shopping. So we have volunteers to come with them and assist them to get whatever they want in the store. So that is part of the normal life like everyone knows. We have different things to make them feel like this, “I feel happy today.” And that is our purpose, to have them happy, to have them participating in every activity we have. And that is my satisfaction to see them when they are happy. And when I came with them last time, I saw their happiness in the faces. And it's just like a miracle to see them, how they share with the kids, and the kids accepting them. And it's like a miracle. Miracle happen. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, wonderful. Well, thank you very much for making us a part of those activities and a part of the lives of these seniors. Diana: It's a pleasure. Thank you to let us participate in this program too. [MUSIC PLAYING] Anthony Godfrey: Thanks for joining us on another episode of the Supercast. Remember, “Education is the most important thing you will do today.” We'll see you out there.

【聊了什么The What】 电影颁奖季随着奥斯卡2026的完结落下帷幕，本期疲惫娇娃一年一度又来带着大家来例行盘点奥斯卡。先从争议开始，我们讨论了《K-pop猎魔女团》获奖感言被粗暴掐断引发的亚裔“噤声”事件和流媒体如何让学院派感到“被蚕食”的恐惧。几个娃也重点解析了年度大热《一战再战》与《罪人 Sinners》：艺术家电影人PTA是如何交出一份让大众满意的答卷？Ryan Coogler又是如何用恐怖片外壳包裹美国南方的移民血泪？我们对比了最佳男主提名的甜茶和获奖的Michael B. Jordan的表演（如果好奇我们对于甜茶的看法，请移步隔壁百花newsletter仔细阅读），也讨论了我们喜欢的导演赵婷和贾法·帕纳西。全球秩序分崩离析的当下，好莱坞的美式中心主义叙事在还站得住脚吗？敬请收听本期节目一探究竟。 Welcome to the annual Oscars recap by your neighborhood film and pop culture critics: CyberPink. We start off with controversies: discussing the "silencing" of Asian voices after the acceptance speech for K-Pop Demon Hunters was abruptly cut short, and exploring the ongoing battle between rise of streaming giants and the traditional film industry the Academy represents. We then jump into the heavy hitters: “One Battle After Another” and “Sinners” – how did auteur Paul Thomas Anderson deliver a film that (finally) satisfied the masses? And how did Ryan Coogler use the framework of a horror film to envelop the blood, sweat, and tears of the American South's immigrant experience? We compare the performances of Best Actor nominee Timothée Chalamet and winner Michael B. Jordan (if you're curious about our hot takes on Timmy “Sweet Tea”, please head over to our Baihua Newsletter for the full debrief). We also share our love for directors Chloé Zhao and Jafar Panahi. In an era where the global world order is fracturing, is there still space for an America-centric narrative in Hollywood?

The 98th Academy Awards delivered on every promise of drama, history, and cinematic excellence. In this episode of Chaos Culture Radio, we break down the 2026 Oscars, where Paul Thomas Anderson's political thriller One Battle After Another took home Best Picture, and Michael B. Jordan secured his first-ever Oscar for his dual role in Sinners.In this episode, we discuss:The PTA Sweep: After 14 previous nominations, Paul Thomas Anderson finally claims Best Director and Best Picture. We analyze his poignant speech about the "housekeeping mess" we're leaving for the next generation.Michael B. Jordan's Moment: A deep dive into MBJ's historic Best Actor win for Sinners, his tribute to the Black giants who came before him, and the snub that left Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet empty-handed.The Record-Breaking Wait: Amy Madigan wins Best Supporting Actress for Weapons—40 years after her first nomination—setting a new Academy record.History in the Making: Autumn Durald Arkapaw becomes the first woman and first Black person to win Best Cinematography for Sinners.The "Tie" Heard 'Round the World: Why the Best Live-Action Short category ended in a rare tie for only the seventh time in history.Viral Moments: From Conan O'Brien's "Aunt Gladys" parody to Teyana Taylor putting PTA in a celebratory headlock.Episode Quote: "You make a guy work hard for this... let's have a martini." — Paul Thomas Anderson on his long-awaited win.

Sinners and One Battle After Another finally got to lock up on the biggest awards stage there is...and they both got plenty of gold. PTA won 3 trophies and his One Battle got the top Oscars (Picture and Director, plus 4 others), but the record-breaking Sinners (nominees-wise, at least) saw Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan honoured for writing and acting. This 726th edition of Have You Ever Seen breaks down every single winner of every single award, has a few thoughts about the night's politics (it was a LITTLE more finger-pointing than it has been in other recent years) and we had that long, but necessary tribute to the many people who died.
