Dr. Jahn discusses the founding of the German Veterinary Clinic, the evolution of fear-free and zero-pain practices, and her mission to elevate behavioral health in pets.

Whether you're a seasoned pet owner or a first-timer, this episode is packed with insights on how to build a healthier, happier relationship with your pet.Quotes1:58 – As a profession, we're amazing at taking care of the physical health needs of our pets, but we're not so great at recognizing and treating mental and emotional ill health disorders.3:41 – What I loved about the UAE is that sense of opportunity—that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.5:31 – Zero pain is a movement geared towards better recognition and management of pain in pets—especially chronic pain, which is often overlooked.7:01 – Fear-Free is about reducing anxiety and stress in pets. It starts from the moment they leave their home to when they arrive at the clinic.9:32 – Becoming double board-certified means I can now educate, write, and contribute globally to improve animal lives.11:12 – Trinity Veterinary Behavior is my way of giving back—helping both professionals and pet caregivers improve behavioral care.13:11 – These courses are like being a fly on the wall in my consultation room—they teach what every pet owner or professional should know.18:46 – Dominance theory is one of the biggest myths in pet behavior—these outdated training styles can actually cause harm.21:28 – Positive reinforcement is scientifically proven to be quicker, more effective, and free of negative side effects like fear and aggression.27:10 – We're creating an open concept where pet parents can stay with their pets—even during procedures—because it matters emotionally.28:11 – That experience I had as a frightened four-year-old in the hospital shaped everything I do now to ensure pets never feel that way.Useful LinksWebsite: https://trinityvetbehaviour.com/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/drkatrin_vet_psychiatrist/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-katrin-jahn/: The Matrix Green Pill Podcast: https://thematrixgreenpill.com/Please review us: https://g.page/r/CS8IW35GvlraEAI/review

On this episode, Marc talks with Brian Anderson, author of "Loud and Clear: The Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound and the Quest for Audio Perfection," published in June of 2025. It's a detailed and compelling tale of how the Grateful Dead, over the first decade of their existence, continually created and expanded their own sound system into a gigantic tower of speakers known as the Wall of Sound. Scores of techs, roadies, and other fascinating figures worked on this monstrous array of gear, which delivered clear, almost mystical sound throughout the venues to which the Dead hauled it.As Brian writes, "Our world has been radically shaped by the Dead, regardless of one's own relationship with the band. And their fabled PA of the early 70s is perhaps the most striking example of that outsized influence."You can buy "Wall of Sound" here.We hope you enjoy Marc's conversation with Brian Anderson!

Investigative journalist Charles Piller explains the remarkable story of fraud he has uncovered in Alzheimer's Disease research, which he discusses in a new book: Doctored: Fraud, Arrogance and Tragedy in the Quest to Cure Alzheimer's. Charles argues the result of this is that Alzheimer's research and treatment has been set by years - if not decades. He goes on to discusse the trial data on which several Alzheimer's drugs, including Aducanumab, Lecanemab and Donanemab, were approved. Charles says the data is unconvincing and  the side effects – including brain swelling and bleeding -  concerning. Doctored: Fraud, Arrogance and Tragedy in the Quest to Cure Alzheimer's by Charles Piller is published by Icon Books. Charles Piller is an investigative journalist who works for the journal Science. His work has also been published in a number of other publications including The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.

Today, the Two Mikes welcomed back Mr. Brandon Weichert for a discussion of international affairs and the dangers that are accumulating from them for the United States. Currently, Mr. Weichert is the Senior National Security Editor at the National Interest journal. He also is a best-selling author on many of the topics we spoke about. Mr. Weichert argued convincingly that the war in Ukraine is lost and has been lost for a good time. There really is nothing for President Trump to do but to walk away from Ukraine, Zelensky, and NATO. America has been disastrously involved in Europe's terminal inability to stay out of war since 1917 and have won two wars for them. Now we are involved in a third war started and wanted by the Europeans, the Western intelligence agencies, and Biden, and we find that the cocky European bastards, their governments, their controlled media, the UN, and their intelligence agencies – probably with the CIA and the Mossad – are trying to suck the United States into a nuclear war with Russia. Enough is enough, if European regimes wants a nuclear war with Russia, let them have it. The end of Western Europe as it is and the annihilation of the NATO treaty can be nothing but good news for the United States. In the Middle East, Mr. Weichert said that it certainly appears that Benjamin Netanyahu is going down and that he does not care that he will be taking Israel down with him. Over one million Israelis have already fled their country. The war does on and on in the Middle East and the Israeli military continues, on Netanyahu's orders, to try to kick all the Palestinians to death, while simultaneously trying to draw the United States into satisfying the lust of Netanyahu and his circle – which includes most of the Congress and the wealthiest of Jewish-Americans – for all-out war with Iran. The key to getting out of this mess is obvious, dump the Israelis and let them fend for themselves against the coming war of retribution that will be thrown at them by the Bin Laden-inspired descendants of the untold number of Arab people – fighters and civilians -- who have been killed, incarcerated, assassinated, tortured, and murdered by the U.S.-backed Israel's military and intelligence organizations since 1948.   Mr Weicher's most recent book -- The Shadow War: Iran's Quest for Supremacy is available at Amazon and other booksellers, as are his two excellent previous books Biohacked: China's Race to Control Life and Winning Space: How America Remains a Superpower.

The Author Events Series presents Rebecca Romney  | Jane Austen's Bookshelf: A Rare Book Collector's Quest to Find the Women Writers Who Shaped a Legend  REGISTER In Conversation with Allie Alvis  Jane Austen's Bookshelf investigates the disappearance of Austen's heroes--women writers who were erased from the Western canon--to reveal who they were, what they meant to Austen, and how they were forgotten. Each chapter profiles a different writer including Frances Burney, Ann Radcliffe, Charlotte Lennox, Charlotte Smith, Hannah More, Elizabeth Inchbald, Hester Lynch Thrale Piozzi, and Maria Edgeworth--and recounts Romney's experience reading them, finding rare copies of their works, and drawing on connections between their words and Austen's. Romney collects the once-famed works of these forgotten writers, physically recreating Austen's bookshelf and making a convincing case for why these books should be placed back on the to-be-read pile of all book lovers today. Jane Austen's Bookshelf will encourage you to look beyond assigned reading lists, question who decides what belongs there, and build your very own collection of favorite novels. Rebecca Romney is a rare book dealer and the cofounder of Type Punch Matrix, a rare book company based in Washington, DC. Rebecca is the author Printer's Error: Irreverent Stories from Book History (HarperCollins; with JP Romney) and The Romance Novel in English: A Survey in Rare Books, 1769-1999; her current book is Jane Austen's Bookshelf (Simon & Schuster), chronicling her efforts to build a book collection of Austen's favorite women writers. Since 2011 she has appeared as the rare book specialist on the History Channel's show Pawn Stars; she was also featured in the 2019 documentary The Booksellers.  Allie Alvis is Curator of Special Collections of the Winterthur Library, where they are responsible for the stewardship and engagement of the collection. They have previously worked as an antiquarian bookseller at Type Punch Matrix (Washington, DC) and as the special collections reference librarian for the Smithsonian Libraries and Archives. Allie's research is diverse and far-reaching, with interests in physical patterns of use in books, the history of ephemera, and Arts and Crafts bookbindings. They are particularly involved in the study and act of using social media for communicating book history, and maintain popular accounts across various platforms as Book Historia. The 2024/25 Author Events Series is presented by Comcast.

I heard the view from the top is amazing,” Chen Ning said excitedly.Zh: 她是个充满活力的女孩，像阳光一样，所到之处总是热闹非凡。En: She was a lively girl, bringing vibrancy wherever she went, much like the sunshine itself.Zh: 梅琳则不同，她一向务实而谨慎。En: Mei Lin, on the other hand, was pragmatic and cautious.Zh: 她走在队伍的后面，不时留意着周围的细节。En: She walked at the back of the group, paying attention to the details around them.Zh: 梅琳对玉佩情感深厚，但更看重的是家族的声誉。En: While she had deep emotions tied to the jade pendant, she valued the family's reputation even more.Zh: 就在这时，天边乌云开始聚集，气氛逐渐紧张起来。En: Just then, clouds began to gather on the horizon, and the atmosphere gradually grew tense.Zh: 雷声隆隆，雨似乎随时会倾盆而下。En: Thunder rumbled, and it seemed like rain would pour down any moment.Zh: 梅琳建议大家下山避雨，陈宁则坚持要在雨停后继续登顶。En: Mei Lin suggested they descend the mountain to avoid the rain, while Chen Ning insisted on continuing to the summit after the rain stopped.Zh: “我想单独去找找玉佩。”李伟忽然开口，声音坚定。En: “I want to go look for the jade pendant by myself,” Li Wei suddenly spoke with determination in his voice.Zh: 他必须把玉找回来，心中的愧疚与责任感正在驱使着他。En: He had to find the jade, driven by guilt and a sense of responsibility.Zh: “你知道玉的来历吗？”陈宁好奇地问。En: “Do you know the origin of the jade?” Chen Ning asked curiously.Zh: 李伟点点头，沉默了一会儿说：“三十年前，是奶奶给了我家族的故事。En: Li Wei nodded, fell silent for a moment, and then said, “Thirty years ago, it was Grandma who gave me the family's story.Zh: 她说这块玉保护了我们的祖先。”En: She said this piece of jade protected our ancestors.”Zh: 在梅琳与陈宁的担忧注视下，李伟一个人离开了。En: Under the watchful and worried eyes of Mei Lin and Chen Ning, Li Wei left alone.Zh: 他攒着希望，步伐坚定地走向一处偏僻的小径。En: Filled with hope, he walked steadily towards a secluded path.Zh: 就在雨点滴落的刹那，他在一颗大树下发现了一丝闪光。En: Just as raindrops began to fall, he noticed a glimmer beneath a large tree.Zh: 是玉佩！En: It was the jade pendant!Zh: 李伟快步上前，捡起它。En: Li Wei quickly stepped forward and picked it up.Zh: 玉佩在雨中闪烁着微光，李伟的内心仿佛也被洗净了，他感到一种从未有过的安宁。En: The jade pendant shimmered in the rain, and Li Wei felt an unprecedented sense of peace, as if his heart had been cleansed.Zh: 此时，风雨愈发猛烈，En: By then, wind and rain intensified.Zh: 李伟急忙返回，找到梅琳和陈宁，他们一起躲进一个山洞，听着外面的风雨狂怒，不禁开始反省。En: Li Wei hurried back, found Mei Lin and Chen Ning, and they took shelter in a cave, listening to the raging storm outside, prompting some reflection.Zh: “你做得很好，李伟。”梅琳说道，她眼中的怀疑神情已换成了欣慰。En: “You did great, Li Wei,” Mei Lin said, her eyes no longer filled with doubt but with relief.Zh: “谢谢你让我们也了解了这块玉的故事。”陈宁补充道。En: “Thank you for letting us learn about the jade's story too,” Chen Ning added.Zh: 风雨渐止，剩下的是清新空气和更加紧密的友情。En: As the storm subsided, only fresh air and a tighter bond of friendship remained.Zh: 李伟知道，这次旅程不仅让他找回了玉佩，也让他找回了面对生活勇敢的心。En: Li Wei realized that this journey had not only allowed him to retrieve the jade pendant, but also rediscover a courageous heart to face life.Zh: 从那天起，李伟变得更加开朗，与家人间的距离也更近。En: From that day on, Li Wei became more cheerful, drawing closer to his family.Zh: 他在黄山的经历犹如那枚玉，闪耀在记忆深处，温暖着他的每一个未来。En: His experience on Huangshan was like that piece of jade, shining in the depths of his memory, warming every future moment of his life.

Kelly Wilde Miller is a creative mentor, author, and soul-driven entrepreneur whose journey has been profoundly shaped by her quest to find authentic expression and deep belonging. I first met Kelly in May 2021, when she embarked on a Vision Quest with Animas Valley Institute—an experience that opened a transformative path toward manifesting her soul's gifts through creativity.In this episode, Kelly shares vulnerably about her journey through profound self-discovery, including the powerful Vision Quest moment when encountering ancient handprints triggered her realization of longing and disconnection—the "song of the lost white people." She discusses the birth of Prismara, her new venture embodying her soul's authentic expression, and how creativity has become her path toward integration and fulfillment.We explore creativity as a profound act of self-expression and healing, highlighting Kelly's insight that our perceived blocks—what she calls our “maras”—are precisely the path our soul wants us to navigate to fully channel our unique gifts. Kelly also speaks candidly about navigating the complex dance between authenticity, visibility, and nervous system regulation, emphasizing the importance of creating from a place of grounded safety and embodied presence.Our conversation delves into deep questions around finding our true place—psychospiritually, metaphysically, and literally—and what it means to genuinely find oneself amidst the turmoil and opportunity of our times. Kelly shares her thoughts on conscious parenting, the journey of becoming oneself, and why choosing to live from soul is both a courageous and necessary act in today's world.This episode will resonate deeply with anyone on a journey toward authentic expression, creativity, and soulful alignment amidst the challenges and potentials of modern life.--Links & Resources* Watch this episode on YouTube* Connect with Brooks on Instagram or LinkedIn* Soulful Impact: soulfulimpact.co* Subscribe to Kelly on Substack* Follow Kelly's work at Prismara: prismaracircle.com* Check out Kelly's book, Creative Dysregulation--Chapters00:00:00 - Welcome to Soulful Impact Podcast00:02:45 - Meeting Kelly: A Soul Journey Begins00:05:20 - Finding Authentic Expression in Modern Times00:08:17 - Introducing Prismara: Birth of a Soul-Aligned Business00:11:42 - Working the Mirror: Creative Projects as Transformation00:15:36 - The Power of Presence and Embracing the Wobble00:19:32 - Authenticity as the Path to True Expression00:23:10 - The Kelly of Four Years Ago: Lost and Searching00:28:07 - Intergenerational Patterns and Finding Yourself00:33:15 - The Quest for Self: What It Really Means00:37:54 - Vision Quest Revelations: The Wall of Handprints00:42:30 - Finding Belonging in a Disconnected World00:47:05 - Consenting to Life: Saying Yes to Existence00:51:37 - The Symphony of Being in Harmony00:56:10 - Motherhood and Not Losing Yourself01:00:28 - Soul-Centric Development and Necessary Darkness01:04:46 - Raising Children from a Place of Integration01:09:12 - Living in Integrity During Challenging Times01:13:45 - Creativity as Life Force Energy Expression01:18:22 - Creative Regulation and Clearing the Channels01:22:38 - Discerning Soul's Calling from Ego's Distractions01:27:14 - The Path of Authenticity: No Going Back01:32:05 - Future Collaborations and Closing Reflections01:35:45 - Final Thanks Get full access to Soulful Impact at www.soulfulimpact.blog/subscribe

In this powerful episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we welcome Austin Shubert, a 27-year-old outdoorsman, hunter, and field technician from Zebulon, Georgia. He shares his deeply personal and emotional journey from vibrant health to chronic illness and back toward recovery. Raised in the woods, surrounded by ticks since childhood, Austin never imagined that a single tick bite could change his life.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Jim Douglas, CEO of Instabug, to unpack the hidden world of mobile app development and the hurdles developers face every time you tap an icon on your phone. Mobile apps live in unpredictable conditions, surrounded by millions of device variations and users who are quick to abandon any app that fails to deliver a flawless experience.  Our discussion begins with a deep dive into why mobile apps remain so vulnerable to user churn. Jim shares a striking figure that 56 percent of users will delete an app after a single crash, a statistic that keeps many developers up at night. He explains how Instabug's platform provides a layer of mobile observability powered by AI, which helps catch problems early and offers real insights into how real people interact with apps. Instead of guessing why a user is frustrated, developers gain clear visibility through session replays and in-app surveys that reveal what KPIs alone cannot show. Jim also outlines how Instabug aims to push mobile development into a future where self-healing apps become reality. He describes Smart Resolve, a feature that already helps automate issue resolution, marking a first step toward a world where apps can detect and fix their own bugs. This evolution frees up development teams to invest their energy in innovation rather than repetitive troubleshooting. We look ahead to upcoming changes in the mobile ecosystem, touching on expectations for iOS 19, improvements in power management using AI, and the possibility that voice interfaces will soon play a bigger role in how we interact with our phones. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone building or using mobile apps who wonders why some apps feel polished while others crash and burn. Are self-healing apps closer than we imagine, and how will that reshape the daily work of developers and the experiences we all take for granted? Join us to find out.
