Professional contractors are powering Ireland's workforce, marking a significant shift in hiring dynamics, according to new data from Matrix Recruitment. Women and those over 50 are outperforming in the contract market, while exclusive recruitment partnerships are emerging to tackle a competitive hiring landscape. Matrix's latest Q2 2025 Workforce Trends Report spotlights a growing demand for contract professionals, increased pay transparency, and a new emphasis on diversity, flexibility, and sustainability expertise. "Employers are leaning heavily on contractors to maintain output during hiring freezes, project surges, and hard-to-fill roles," says Breda Dooley, Head of Recruitment at Matrix Recruitment. "Our clients are prioritising agility, and the data shows it's changing who gets hired and how." Contracting on the Rise Contract roles have become central to workforce planning in Ireland; indeed, some 85% of businesses planning to hire on a contract basis in 2025. "Companies are leveraging contractors to cover critical gaps, reduce long-term headcount costs, and accelerate delivery on strategic projects," says Breda. "To support this shift, Matrix offers flexible contract and temporary hiring solutions, including fully managed payroll services to ensure fast, compliant onboarding without overburdening internal HR teams." Women and Older Professionals What's more, for the first time in five years, female contractors are earning more per day than men, according to Matrix data. The average day rate for women across IT, engineering, and healthcare reached €565, compared to €548 for men - a €17 per day historic pay gap in favour of women. Contractors aged 50+ are also in high demand for their expertise and dependability, particularly in technical and operational functions. "The market is recognising the value of lived experience and reliability," says Breda. "Women and older professionals are becoming an integral part of workforce strategy - and that's reflected in pay and hiring activity." Candidate versus Application In recent years, the Irish jobs market has undergone a rapid transformation with the rise of e-recruitment and technology. Nearly all of the Global 500 companies now use some form of online recruitment, which has major benefits and downsides. While job ads are generating high application numbers, many of these applicants lack relevant experience or genuine engagement with the role or employer, notes Breda. "A true candidate is someone who meets the criteria and is sincerely interested in the position," she says. "Quantity doesn't equal quality and hiring managers need curated shortlists, not inboxes full of generic CVs. Although job boards generate huge application numbers, that doesn't equate with viable candidates." Exclusive Recruitment Partnerships Matrix reports a surge in exclusive recruitment arrangements in engineering, finance, and manufacturing, as companies seek faster hiring cycles and better outcomes: "With exclusivity, our consultants can dedicate more time and deliver higher-quality shortlists," says Breda. "It helps reduce time-to-hire and boosts candidate experience. By contrast, multi-agency models often lead to slower results and duplicated efforts." Remote and Hybrid Flexibility The Q2 report also found that remote and hybrid work options remain a top priority for candidates, particularly in finance, office support, engineering, and quality/laboratory roles. A significant portion of Irish managers even implement "hushed hybrid" arrangements to allow their teams flexibility against company policy. However, Matrix advises that clear communication around this helps employers attract stronger talent and achieve better offer acceptance rates. "Flexibility isn't just a perk anymore: it's a strategic advantage," says Breda. "Companies who prioritise hybrid options benefit from a broader and more diverse talent pool." Bottlenecks in Hiring The report concluded that employers still face delays in int...

Summary: In this conversation, PJ and Joey Morin explore the intricate relationship between psychology and exercise, discussing how mental states can influence physical performance. They delve into the limits of human strength, the consequences of heavy lifting, and the importance of recovery techniques, including sleep and biohacking methods. The discussion also covers effective workout strategies, the science behind rep ranges, and the role of genetics in muscle development. Additionally, they touch on the controversial topic of peptides and their impact on athletic performance, as well as the benefits of altitude training for enhancing VO2 max.Takeaways: The human body has built-in mechanisms that limit strength to prevent injury.Optimal arousal states can enhance performance in strength training.Heavy lifting can lead to long-term joint and tendon issues.Recovery methods vary in effectiveness; personal experimentation is key.Sleep quality is more important than quantity for recovery.Different individuals have unique responses to various workout strategies.Rep ranges can influence muscle growth, but personal experimentation is essential.Genetics play a significant role in muscle development and training outcomes.Peptides may not be considered 'natural' but can aid recovery.Altitude training can significantly improve VO2 max and overall performance.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Biohacking and Personal Background02:28 Eddie Hall's Deadlift and the Role of Biohacking03:24 The Limits of Human Strength and Brain Mechanisms06:10 Superhuman Feats and the Power of Belief10:13 The Consequences of Heavy Lifting and Steroid Use15:35 Injury Recovery and Biohacking Benefits15:52 Comparing Recovery Methods: Saunas, Red Light, and Cupping18:58 Hot Showers and Circulation for Muscle Recovery20:25 Sleep Quality vs. Quantity for Recovery21:12 Exploring Cardio and VO2 Max24:11 Effective Workout Strategies for Different Goals24:58 Understanding Rep Ranges and Muscle Building28:44 The Role of Genetics in Muscle Development32:24 The Debate on Natural vs Enhanced Athletes37:21 Altitude Training and Its Benefits

Join Kev as he explores the question of quantity -vs- quality in property investing. He talks about the quality of house, tenants, refurbs and and reveals the most important things you need to weigh up when purchasing property. KEY TAKEAWAYS  You have to think about mortgage -vs- cashflow but also growth. You can get good tenants in all income brackets in all areas of society, just because someone has money and can pay more, it doesn't mean they will be a higher quality tenant. Knowing your area is essential to finding quality tenants. They will be ‘areas within areas' and one street can make all the difference. The monthly rental profit isn't the only number to focus on, you also should look at the capital growth opportunities. A lower quality area means less capital growth but you probably will have a higher cash flow as your initial outlay is less. Whether you focus on quantity or quality, the most important thing is that you just get started and don't procrastinate! BEST MOMENTS   "Are you sacrificing quality for quantity?” “You need to know your area” “Your return in the North looks better in the South” “What I am always focused on is cashflow, cus cashflow is the oxygen for the business” "It doesn't matter if you go for the quality or the quantity, what matters if you go for something" VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

What I've heard is a scene flooded with well-meaning producers who often sound exactly alike. Tools once locked behind studio doors now sit on every laptop, and the consequence is clear: presets rule, random samples of half-forgotten hits scatter everywhere, and every third track chases the same Afro-House rhythm. Variety exists, but you have to dig deeper than ever to find it. Catch-Up 2025 exists for that very reason. Quantity over quality is wearing thin Party Favorz screens hundreds of promos each week, covering every style under the dance umbrella. The inbox overload means true standouts must punch harder than ever before. When 30 tracks recycle the same kick, bass patch, and “nostalgia” hook, listeners start wondering whether they're hearing a playlist or a single endlessly looping song. The “biggest dance songs of 2025” must clear a higher bar, yet the supply of fresh ideas keeps shrinking. That sameness forced me to lower the usual entry threshold just to assemble this Catch-Up 2025 mix—and I do not lower bars lightly. A remix masterclass from Lola Young & David Puentez Still, flashes of genius shine. Lola Young's soulful “Messy” has owned my headphones since January. Early bootlegs skimmed by with polite Future-House padding, fine for playlists but hardly memorable. Then David Puentez arrived. He kept Lola's raw vocal front and center (even if the verses are a little buried underneath the mix), ratcheted the tension with a snarling synth stab, and slipped in some Stutter House nobody saw coming. The result hits like a confetti cannon on a festival main stage—proof that originality can burn through the noise. This is exactly the mindset the biggest dance songs of 2025 need. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7e13RNXQ7w Streams, stats, and the shrinking spotlight Remember when dance singles pulled 20 million YouTube streams in a week? Now a clip clears 1 million and the industry calls it a “smash.” Much of that traffic moved to Spotify and Apple Music, but pulling numbers is still tougher than ever. Compiling data for Catch-Up 2025 became an exercise in compromise. Lowering stream requirements let slower-burning records claim a slot, and I'm betting some late-season releases will surge before the final Top Dance Songs of 2025 list drops in December. For now, this midpoint snapshot reflects reality—even if reality needs a caffeine shot. John Summit keeps things interesting Credit where it belongs: John Summit refuses to coast.

In Part 2 of Episode 271, Leighton Sheldon shares a real-life story from the front lines of buying vintage collections — a high-value deal that nearly fell apart over a PSA 8 card with visible debris trapped inside the slab. Hear how Layton kept his cool, navigated the seller's emotions, and helped turn a tense situation into a productive outcome. Then the panel dives into a deep and at times philosophical conversation about quality vs. quantity in card collecting. What is “quality”? Is it about condition, value, scarcity, or personal meaning? What happens when your lower-grade card has better eye appeal than a higher-graded one? Joe, John, Jeremy, and Layton all weigh in with personal anecdotes, including collecting regrets, consolidation strategies, and how beauty in the hobby is truly in the eye of the beholder.

In this episode, I catch up with Jenna to chat through the CrossFit nutrition course—and let's just say, we've got thoughts.We talk about how the course leans hard into body composition and aesthetics, and how that doesn't always reflect what everyday athletes actually need. Jenna shares her experience from the Torian Pro, and we dig into why nutrition for performance is so different from just eating to look a certain way.We also bust a few common myths—like carbs being the enemy, or insulin being something to fear—and talk about the pressure to stay lean in the CrossFit space, even when it's not always healthy or realistic.If you've ever felt confused by the mixed messages around food, macros, or what you “should” look like as someone who trains, this one's for you.Time Stamps:00:00 Introduction to CrossFit Nutrition Course02:57 Insights from Torian Pro and Athlete Nutrition05:59 The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of CrossFit Nutrition09:02 The Sickness to Fitness Continuum11:49 Genetics vs. Nutrition: The Bigger Picture14:57 Authors and Credibility of the Nutrition Course18:10 Understanding Insulin and Its Role21:03 The Misconception of Carbohydrates23:58 Body Composition and Health Markers27:00 The Pressure of Body Fat Percentages30:09 The Dangers of Low Energy Availability32:53 Conclusion: Rethinking CrossFit Nutrition35:07 Cherry Picking in Research36:01 The Importance of Body Composition36:31 Eating for Wellness38:46 Understanding Macronutrients40:13 The Role of Vegetables and Fats42:40 Debunking Myths about Oils44:40 Navigating Carbohydrates and Sugar46:47 The Challenge of Meal Planning50:58 The Quantity of Food and Performance55:01 Setting Realistic Dietary Goals01:01:16 The Role of Supplements and Mental HealthClick me for show notes!

Can women take a career pause without losing their ambition—or themselves?Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled – a platform dedicated to supporting women navigating career pauses and caregiving with clarity, confidence, and ambition – explores the deeply personal and often unspoken challenges modern mothers face today. Neha opens up about her own journey leaving a high-powered tech career to become a full-time parent—and how that decision sparked a redefinition of what success truly means. She shares the emotional complexity of motherhood, letting go of guilt around childcare and building a support system for your children, the importance of financial independence, and how career breaks can become a time of intentional personal growth rather than a step backward. Overall, she believes, investing in yourself is not selfish. RESOURCES: Learn more about The Power Pause by Neha Ruch: https://www.thepowerpause.com/CHAPTERS: 00:00 Navigating Hair Care and Personal Choices03:01 Balancing Work and Family Life05:49 Redefining Ambition and Career Pauses08:57 Financial Independence and Partnership Dynamics12:00 Intentional Growth During Career Pauses14:45 Quality vs. Quantity of Time with Kids23:00 The Importance of a Supportive Network for Children26:07 Navigating Guilt and Trust in Parenting28:57 Conversations Around Family Vision and Support31:52 Flexibility in Work: A Double-Edged Sword38:57 Redefining Success and Presence in ParentingLISTEN NOW: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-well-better Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/get-well-betterYouTube: Or search “Get Well Better by The Lanby” on your favorite podcast platform!VISIT THE LANBY: Explore membership and learn more about The Lanby's functional medicine approach:https://www.thelanby.comFOLLOW THE LANBY ON SOCIAL: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelanby TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thelanby LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thelanbySTAY IN THE KNOW: Subscribe to The Lanby newsletter for health tips, podcast drops, and expert insights: https://www.thelanby.com/newsletter

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick dive deep into the concept that “conflict avoided is conflict multiplied.” They explore how isolation—whether from entrepreneurship, chronic illness, or strained relationships—can impact health and happiness, and why honest, humble, and methodical communication is the antidote. Drawing from personal stories, clinical experience, and frameworks like Patrick Lencioni's trust pyramid, they share practical tools for building trust, fostering win-win relationships, and showing up as better leaders, partners, and humans.   #IntegrativeYou #ConflictResolution #TrustBuilding #AuthenticLeadership #EntrepreneurLife #RelationshipGoals #Vulnerability #WinWin #PersonalGrowth #ConsciousCommunication #LimitlessLiving   3 Key Takeaways: Avoiding Conflict = Multiplying Problems: When we dodge uncomfortable conversations—at work, home, or with ourselves—we're actually allowing issues to fester and grow. Facing things head-on (with humility, not aggression) builds trust and leads to better outcomes. Trust Is Built Through Vulnerability and Win-Win Intentions: True trust isn't just about keeping promises; it's about creating space for open, honest dialogue where everyone can win. Vulnerability and methodical communication are the foundation. Quality > Quantity in Relationships: It's not about how many people fill your life, but the depth and fairness of those connections. Prioritizing clear, caring communication transforms relationships—from business to family.    Quotes:  “Conflict avoided is conflict multiplied. The last thing we want is for frustration to fester—addressing it directly, with humility, actually builds trust.” “The goal is trust. And trust is created from a win-win relationship… If everybody's winning evenly, there's maximal trust.”   Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify   2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

In recent years there has been a growing need for transparency within sustainable action taken by businesses. This is due to the rampant increase in greenwashing, which only serves to diminish the focus on genuine efforts, in addition to creating a culture of mistrust within stakeholders and consumers. To combat this, certain organisations have taken on the task of encouraging and supporting the accurate public disclosure of environmental data. Such is the case with today's focus, the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). In this episode Mel Blackmore discusses what the Carbon Disclosure Project is, what is required to earn an A rating, provides some tips on how to get that A rating and explains the pros and cons with getting involved with the project.    You'll learn ·      What is the Carbon Disclosure Project? ·      What are the requirements to achieve an A rating? ·      Top tips for earning an A rating in the CDP ·      What are the advantages of earning a CDP rating? ·      What are the disadvantages of getting involved with the CDP?   Resources ·      Carbon Disclosure Project ·      Carbonology ·      Contribute to Mel's carbon verification commitment research by taking her Survey   In this episode, we talk about: [02:05] Episode Summary – Mel discusses the Carbon Disclosure project, including what's involved with taking part, how to achieve an A rating and the pros and cons of the project.    [03:00] Why is there a need for the CDP? An increased number of investors and financial institutions, in addition to clients are demanding more than just financial reports. They want to know what a company's environmental footprint is, and at this point, it's time to move on beyond simply making pledges. Ultimately, key stakeholders are looking for a commitment to sustainability and for accessible information to help them understand how an organisation is managing its climate risks and opportunities. This is where CDP comes in. A key component of getting the coveted A rating within CDP involves independent verification of greenhouse gas emissions. [04:45] What is the Carbon Disclosure Project? CDP is a global non-profit that runs the world's leading environmental disclosure system. For over two decades, it has revolutionized how companies, cities, states, and regions report their environmental impacts. They ask thousands of organizations to disclose data on climate change, water security, and deforestation. This data is then used by investors, purchasers, and policymakers to make informed decisions. The CDP questionnaire covers a wide range of topics, from governance and strategy to risk management, targets, and of course, greenhouse gas emissions. Companies receive a score from D- to A based on the completeness of their reporting, their level of awareness of environmental issues, their management of those issues, and ultimately, their leadership in addressing them. [05:40] We want to hear from you: Mel is currently running some research around CDP and the key drivers behind carbon emission verification, and would appreciate your feedback if you have a few minutes to spare. The results are completely anonymous, and it should only take 5 – 10 minutes. You can take the survey here. Thank you in advance to any contributors! [09:10] What is required to achieve an A Rating? – There are a number of key requirements, including:- 1.    Comprehensive Disclosure and Data Quality: This is foundational. You need to provide accurate and complete data across all relevant sections of the CDP questionnaire. This includes detailed information on your Scope 1, Scope 2, and increasingly, your Scope 3 GHG emissions. 2.    Strong Governance and Strategy: CDP looks for clear evidence that environmental issues are integrated into your company's core business strategy and that there's robust board and management oversight of climate-related matters. This means having a defined climate strategy, understanding your climate-related risks and opportunities, and demonstrating how you're incorporating these into your financial planning. 3.    Verified Data: To truly hit that "A" list, your Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions, and a significant portion of your Scope 3, must be independently verified. This isn't just a suggestion; it's an essential criterion for the leadership level. Independent verification provides crucial assurance to stakeholders that your reported emissions data is accurate, reliable, and trustworthy. It also minimises the risk of “Greenwashing”. 4.    Science-Based Targets and a Robust Climate Transition Plan: CDP is increasingly emphasizing the need for companies to set ambitious, science-based targets for emissions reductions, aligned with a 1.5°C global warming scenario. In addition, having a publicly available, credible climate transition plan that outlines how you will achieve these targets, including specific actions, metrics, and progress tracking mechanisms, is now a must for "A" list companies. 5.    Value Chain Engagement: For many companies, the most significant emissions lie within their supply chain. To achieve an "A" rating, you'll need to demonstrate robust engagement with your suppliers to measure and reduce their emissions, and address environmental impacts across your entire value chain. 6.    Continuous Improvement and Transparency: The "A" rating isn't a one-off achievement. It reflects a commitment to continuous improvement in your environmental performance and a willingness to be transparent about your journey, including challenges and successes. [15:05] Top tips for achieving a CDP A Rating:- Tip 1: Plan Ahead and Start Early. CDP reporting is an annual cycle, and it's complex. Don't wait until the last minute! Start gathering your data, assessing your internal processes, and identifying any gaps well in advance. This includes planning for your verification process. Tip 2: Invest in Robust Data Management Systems. Accurate and comprehensive data collection is paramount. Consider leveraging sustainability software that can help you track, calculate, and manage your GHG emissions data efficiently. This reduces manual errors and streamlines the reporting process. Tip 3: Understand the Verification Process. This is where an accredited verification body, like Carbonology, becomes invaluable. Verification Bodies work to an internationally recognized standard, typically ISO 14064-3, to ensure the accuracy and reliability of your GHG emissions data. The process involves: ·      Defining the scope: What emissions are being verified? ·      Data review: Examining your underlying data, methodologies, and calculations. ·      Site visits (where applicable): Physically verifying operational data. ·      Report generation: Providing an assurance statement on the accuracy of your emissions. Tip 4: Engage with a CDP-Accredited Verification Body. CDP specifically requires third-party verification from an independent external organization that is accredited and competent. Look for bodies with proven experience and accreditation to international standards like ISO 14064. They can guide you through the process, identify areas for improvement, and ensure your data meets the stringent requirements for leadership points. Tip 5: Conduct a Gap Analysis. Before you even begin your disclosure, perform a thorough gap assessment against the latest CDP questionnaire and essential criteria. This will highlight areas where your current disclosures fall short and allow you to address them proactively. Tip 6: Focus on Quality over Quantity. While comprehensive disclosure is important, ensure the quality and accuracy of your data. It's better to provide high-quality, verified data for a focused set of emissions than to report broadly with unverified or unreliable numbers. Tip 7: Train Your Team. Ensure your internal team understands the CDP requirements and best practices for sustainability reporting and data collection. Building internal capacity is essential for maintaining high-quality disclosures year after year. [20:35] The pros of voluntary disclosures: Enhanced Reputation and Brand Value: Disclosing and performing well on platforms like CDP showcases your commitment to environmental responsibility. This can significantly boost your reputation among customers, employees, and the wider public, attracting conscious consumers and talent. Risk Management and Resilience: The disclosure process forces companies to identify and assess their environmental risks – from climate change impacts to resource scarcity. This proactive approach allows for better risk mitigation strategies, building greater business resilience. Cost Savings and Operational Efficiency: The process of measuring and managing environmental impacts often reveals opportunities for greater efficiency, such as reduced energy consumption, waste reduction, and optimized resource use, leading to tangible cost savings. Competitive Advantage: Being a leader in environmental transparency can differentiate your company in the marketplace, especially as sustainability becomes a key consideration for clients and supply chain partners. Competitive Advantage: Being a leader in environmental transparency can differentiate your company in the marketplace, especially as sustainability becomes a key consideration for clients and supply chain partners. Preparation for Future Regulation: Voluntary disclosure puts you ahead of the curve. As environmental regulations become increasingly stringent globally, companies with established reporting mechanisms will be better prepared to meet mandatory requirements. Innovation and Strategic Planning: The disclosure process encourages long-term strategic planning around environmental impact, driving innovation in products, services, and processes. Benchmarking and Peer Learning: CDP provides a framework for measuring and tracking your performance over time and allows you to benchmark yourself against industry peers, identifying areas for improvement and learning from best practices. [14:15] The cons of voluntary disclosures?: Resource Intensive: Comprehensive ESG reporting, especially to the level required for an "A" rating, can be costly and time-consuming, particularly for smaller companies with limited resources. It requires dedicated personnel, data collection, and often external consulting or verification services. Risk of Greenwashing: If disclosure isn't backed by genuine action and verified data, there's a significant risk of "greenwashing" – providing a misleading impression of your sustainability efforts. This can lead to reputational damage, loss of trust, and even legal scrutiny if claims are found to be unsubstantiated. This is precisely why independent verification is so crucial. Lack of Accountability (without verification): Without external verification or assurance, the reliability and accuracy of self-reported data can be questioned, diminishing the value and trustworthiness of the disclosure. This is a major concern for investors who demand the same robustness for non-financial data as they do for financial data. Potential for Negative Public Scrutiny: Once you disclose, your data is public. This means your environmental performance, or lack thereof, can be scrutinized by activists, media, and the public. Companies must be prepared to address any critical feedback. If you'd like any assistance with carbon verification, get in touch with Carbonology, they'd be happy to help!

GM Mauricio Flores Rios' first book, Chess Structures, is a modern classic which is seemingly recommended on a weekly basis on Perpetual Chess. After nine years of work, Mauricio has recently released its follow-up, Chess Imbalances: A GM Guide. Like Chess Structures, it is a highly instructive book with a beautiful selection of games and useful guidelines to aid one's chess decision-making. We discussed the following:  His opinion on the value of the bishop pair, as well as bishop vs. knight  The surprising reason that his book often featured the games of Magnus Carlsen When to switch from “objective mode” to “survival mode” in a game  We also discussed freestyle chess, and the impact of machine learning on chess. Mauricio is a statistician by trade, who recently launched a chess instruction site called ChessMind A.I., so he was particularly insightful on this topic. There is always lots to learn from chatting with (and reading) GM Rios, and this conversation was quite informative. Timestamps of topics discussed are below.

In this week's episode, CJ dives into five powerful lessons he's learned through real-life experiments, biohacking adventures and philosophical insights. From mastering the art of opinion to activating your brain's P300 wave, these lessons will challenge you to rethink how you learn, connect and perform.Five Core LessonsYou're Only Entitled to an Opinion If You Can Argue the Other SideInspired by Charlie Munger: true wisdom means understanding opposing views before taking a stand.Beware of confirmation bubbles on social media—seek out diverse perspectives.Your Network Is Not Your Contact ListReal equity lies in the people who light up when they hear your name.Liking bias: we do business with—and refer—those we genuinely like, not just the most skilled.Play the Game to Get Free of the GameNaval Ravikant's insight: hustle intensely, but build systems so you're no longer owned by the hustle.True wealth is freedom, not an endless chase of metrics.Embrace the 40–70 Rule for Decision-MakingGeneral Colin Powell: act when you have ~40% of the information; waiting for 70% or more means you're too late.Fast action generates feedback—“wrong fast” teaches you quicker than endless analysis.Activate Your P300 “Performance Wave”P300 is your brain's spike of attention, novelty and intensity.Trigger it with new experiences, urgent challenges and deep focus to unlock superhuman clarity and memory.Key TakeawaysCuriosity over Certainty: Hold judgment until you've explored all sides.Quality over Quantity in Relationships: Focus on deep bonds, not big lists.Freedom as the Endgame: Your efforts should liberate, not entrap.Momentum Beats Perfection: Small, timely actions outpace endless planning.Signal, Not Time: You don't need more hours—just stronger, sharper stimuli.Five Actions You Can Start TodayDebate Both Sides: Next time you form an opinion, write down arguments for the opposite view.Reconnect Authentically: Text five people who haven't heard from you lately—no pitch, just genuine care.Systematize Your Hustle: Identify one repeatable task in your work or health regime and document a process to automate it.Apply 40–70 Decision Rule: Choose a stalled project; commit a “good enough” launch date once you hit 40% clarity.Design a P300 Trigger: Schedule a novel activity (e.g., cold plunge or focused micro-challenge) before a big meeting to sharpen your mind.

Learn about a new think tank that's doing some of the most important thinking on the planet. Matt Orsagh is co-founder of the Arketa Institute for Post-Growth Finance and co-author of a just-published white paper, By Disaster Or Design: How Finance Can Evolve to Avoid the Worst of the Ecological Challenges We Face and Enable the Transition to a Better Economic Model. That paper, and this episode, offer an introduction to degrowth, the rational response for a society in ecological overshoot. Degrowth is “an equitable downscaling of production and consumption that increases human well-being and enhances ecological conditions at the local and global level, in the short and long term.” We also explore how the financial industry needs to evolve as we transition to a post-growth economy. Matt is also author of the Substack column, Degrowth is the Answer. The Arketa Institute is working to “normalize the conversation around ecological economics and degrowth in the financial world.” Steve Rocco and Anastasia Linn are co-founders with Matt Orsagh. The white paper was written by the three of them, and edited by Nicholas Harland. Some upcoming events of note: April 29: Webinar to discuss the paper 'By Disaster or Design'.

Many frustrated by the perceived lack of understanding of our nation's maritime heritage requirements want new leaders with fresh ideas, unburdened by legacy entanglements. It is hoped that a younger cohort with military experience, preferably naval, in the House of Representatives and the Senate who bring to the job an additional background in business and industry will emerge to promote constructive change.Today's guest fits the bill perfectly: the new Senator from Montana, Senator Tim Sheehy.Tim Sheehy is a father, husband, combat veteran, patriot, and an entrepreneur. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy class of 2008 with a B.S. in History, Tim completed several deployments and hundreds of missions as a US Navy SEAL Officer and Team Leader, deploying to Iraq, Afghanistan, South America, and the Pacific region. Tim was honored to serve alongside many American heroes and was involved in dozens of engagements with enemy forces, earning him multiple combat decorations. Additionally, Tim completed a joint tour with Army Special Operations forces where he was privileged to complete US Army Ranger School and serve alongside the 5th Special Forces Group, 75th Ranger Regiment and other units within US Army Special Operations Command.Tim completed his active duty service as a mini submarine pilot and navigator specializing in sensitive undersea operations. After his active duty service, Tim fulfilled reserve duty as a recruiter and assessor for future naval officers. Tim was honorably discharged from the Naval Reserve in 2019.In 2014, Tim founded Belgrade-based Bridger Aerospace with all of his savings and an all-veteran team. Under his leadership, Bridger Aerospace and its sister company, Ascent Vision Technologies experienced rapid growth and created hundreds of Montana jobs. Ascent Vision Technologies was acquired by CACI in 2020, and Bridger Aerospace went public on the NASDAQ in 2023.Tim sits on the Senate Armed Services, Veterans' Affairs, and Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee.SummaryIn this conversation, Senator Tim Sheehy discusses his journey from Naval Academy graduate to U.S. Senator, emphasizing the need for a new generation of leaders in the maritime domain. He highlights the importance of revitalizing the Navy, addressing challenges in shipbuilding, and fostering bipartisan support for maritime strength. The discussion also touches on the need for innovation in naval strategy and acquisition processes, advocating for a shift in mindset towards risk-taking and adaptability in the face of modern challenges.Show LinksOperation Red WingsSix FrigatesThe Fall of KabulTakeawaysTim shares his journey from the Naval Academy to the Senate.The importance of revitalizing the Navy is highlighted.Challenges in shipbuilding and acquisition processes are discussed.Bipartisan support for maritime strength is crucial.Innovation in naval strategy is necessary for future readiness.Quantity in naval assets is as important as quality.A new shipbuilding paradigm is needed to meet modern demands.Risk-taking should be encouraged in military leadership.The Navy's historical context is essential for understanding current challenges.Chapters00:00: Introduction to Maritime Challenges and New Perspectives12:47: Senator Tim Sheehy's Journey: From Navy to Politics18:44: Revitalizing the Navy: Challenges and Opportunities24:37: Acquisition Paradigms and the Future of Naval Strategy
