In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of Mark from southwest Oregon, whose life was permanently changed by a late-night encounter on a snowy mountain road near Grants Pass. What first appeared to be a small tree standing along a ridge revealed itself to be something towering, powerful, and far too close for comfort. That moment in the late 1980s set the course for decades of reflection, research, and unexpected encounters across some of the most active wilderness corridors in the Pacific Northwest.Living near the Applegate and Rogue River regions, Mark shares how reports quietly surfaced over the years from hunters, firefighters, law enforcement, and everyday outdoorsmen who trusted him enough to speak. He recounts a recent investigation near Butte Falls involving thermal imaging, night vision, and his 165-pound wolf hybrid, where the forest seemed to move with intention and the night carried sounds that still defy explanation.From repeated 3AM vocalizations near Wolf Creek and Glendale, to unsettling activity in the Diamond Lake region and Highway 138 corridor, Mark paints a vivid picture of southern Oregon as a place where something continues to operate just beyond the edges of certainty. He also reflects on the stranger elements reported by credible witnesses—anomalous lights, missing time, and phenomena that challenge simple classifications.Mark's grounded, thoughtful perspective brings weight to every detail. His story spans decades, terrain, and testimony, offering a rare look into ongoing activity in one of the most compelling regions for Sasquatch reports in the country.Join us as we explore Mark's experiences and the enduring mystery unfolding in the forests of southwest Oregon.

This week we tackle two small business valuations, reveal how AI collapsed 30 hours of professional work into 90 minutes, and share a golden rule every investor needs to hear: you make your money on the buy.Interesting Deal / File of the Week: Valuing a Small BusinessWe were asked to provide valuation guidance on two small businesses for partner buyouts. We walk through the full professional process — from understanding the purpose, to analyzing financials, to writing a defensible 6–10 page letter — and why that work typically costs $5,000 to $10,000. Then we show how AI let us complete both valuation letters, with full schedules and methodology, in just 90 minutes. We also discuss the growing problem of non-professionals using AI to imitate professional work — and what that means for the industry.Lesson Learned of the Week: Buy Bank DebtWorking with a manufacturing client in financial distress, we break down why understanding liquidation value from the bank's perspective is critical to your negotiating position. We also explore an alternative deal structure: instead of refinancing the full loan, have a new lender buy out the existing bank's position at a discount — illustrated by a real acquisition where $3 million in debt was purchased for $1.5 million.What I'm Thinking About: Make Money on the BuyA golden rule for investors and entrepreneurs: your profit isn't made on the sale, and it isn't made on the value you add — your profit is made on the buy. We discuss why you should avoid competitive sale processes and instead create deals from a unique knowledge base. We reference a real debtor-in-possession lending example generating 50%+ annualized returns, first secured — the kind of deal no one hands you. You have to build it.#Business #Deals #Valuation #SmallBusiness #AI #PrivateCredit #BankDebt #Investing #Leadership #SinclairRange #WinningMomentum

How can strategy stay intentional when planning cycles keep shrinking?In episode 263 of At The Table, Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson examine how the pace of change has transformed strategic planning. What once centered on five or ten-year plans now often lives within a three to six-month horizon.Rather than viewing this shift as chaotic, Patrick and Cody explain why a short-cycle strategy can be more responsible and effective. They explore how clarity of purpose and strong organizational health provide the stability needed to navigate constant change.Topics explored in this episode: (00:03:57) Why Planning Horizons Have ShrunkTechnology and the rapid flow of information have dramatically accelerated the pace of change.Businesses and industries now evolve so quickly that long-term certainty is nearly impossible.(00:07:24) Planning Without PanicA short-term strategy should not be confused with constant urgency or chaos.Leaders can use sprint-based planning and frequent reassessment to stay intentional and focused.(00:11:13) Values Replace Long-Term PredictionsClear purpose and behavioral values now anchor organizations more than long-range forecasts.Teams should focus on reaching the next base camp rather than mapping the entire journey.(00:14:08) Organizational Health Creates ResilienceStrong culture and clarity provide stability when strategies must change quickly.Healthy organizations can survive rapid shifts while competitors without strong foundations struggle.This episode of At The Table with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com.

In this episode of Unleashing Intuition Secrets, host Michael Jaco sits down with security contractor Daniel Banyai to discuss his background in firearms training, an attempted military career cut short by injury, and his later work in private security operations after 9/11. Banyai explains how he purchased 30 acres in Poultney, Vermont in 2013 and developed the Slate Ridge shooting range and training school. He describes building the facility using extensive safety berms and guidance from a declassified U.S. Army range manual designed to ensure rounds remained contained. According to Banyai, the range was equipped with the capacity to train civilians, law enforcement, and government personnel. The conversation turns to the legal conflict that followed. Banyai alleges that local officials revoked what he says was a valid building permit years after construction began, imposed court orders restricting use of his property, and pursued criminal contempt charges against him. He further claims he was pepper-sprayed and beaten during an arrest, charged with a felony, and incarcerated — during which time the town demolished approximately $1.6 million worth of Slate Ridge infrastructure. Banyai describes what he believes was a campaign of media misrepresentation, local political hostility, and misuse of permitting authority. He now speaks publicly about his case as an example of what he views as government overreach and property rights violations. This episode presents Banyai's perspective on the Slate Ridge controversy, the clash between local governance and individual property rights, and the broader debate over land use, enforcement power, and constitutional protections.

In this episode, Alan Dunne and Cem Karsan explore a market that appears calm on the surface yet increasingly unstable underneath. As indices move sideways, they discuss how options flows and structured products are reshaping market behavior, driving rotation rather than direction. From the weakening of former leaders to the rise of defensives, the conversation turns to what these shifts may signal about a broader topping process. They also examine the growing influence of AI narratives, political incentives, and global tensions, not as isolated shocks but as forces building pressure within the system. The result is a discussion about how markets evolve when structure, policy, and sentiment begin to move out of sync.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Follow Cem on X.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 Intro to the Systematic Investor Series00:23 Performance check: CTAs strong, trend tailwinds03:13 Range-bound indices, but big dispersion and rotation03:45 Why options pin the index: dealer flows and vol compression05:42 Dispersion mechanics: idiosyncratic risk, falling correlation07:32 Rotation as a topping process: leaders fade, defensives rise09:54 OPEX and quarterly expiries: why timing windows matter11:56 The March support effect, then weaker flows into April17:02 AI narrative shock: anxiety, backlash, and policy consequences22:32 Populism versus deflation stories: why inflation returns32:43 Gold outlook: secular bull, but expect two-sided volatility45:45 Rates as “tectonic plates”: vol compressed now, release later50:23 Midterms, incentives, and the fight for control57:42 Liquidity loop: markets stop rising, collateral stops expandingCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

Pool Pros text questions hereThis Friday episode digs into one of the most argued topics in pool care: range chemistry and the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI).Rudy takes us back to 1936 and the work of Wilfred F. Langelier, who developed a model to prevent municipal water pipes from dissolving or scaling shut. LSI was never designed for swimmers. It was built to answer one simple question:Will this water dissolve calcium carbonate… or deposit it?That's it.Pools adopted LSI later because plaster behaves like municipal concrete. Your pool is essentially a miniature water system — just with sunscreen and cannonballs.What LSI Does (and Doesn't Do)LSI predicts calcium carbonate equilibrium. It protects:PlasterGroutHeatersSalt cellsTile linesWhat it does not tell you:If chlorine is killing pathogens fast enoughIf chloramines are risingIf nitrification is occurringIf biofilm is formingIf oxidation demand is being metLSI protects the vessel. It does not guarantee sanitation.Where 7.2–7.8 Came FromNo single person invented the modern pH range. It evolved from the overlap of:Human physiology (comfort and irritation)Chlorine chemistry (HOCl vs OCl⁻ balance)Cement durability researchRegulatory standardsEven phenol red test kits influenced it — operators standardized what they could clearly see and control.The Cyanuric Acid Blind SpotIf you don't subtract roughly one-third of CYA from total alkalinity before calculating LSI, your saturation balance is wrong.And LSI does not account for chlorine kinetics at all.You can have:A perfect 0.00 LSIHigh CYASlower disinfectionRising combined chlorineBiofilm quietly developingThe plaster may be safe. The water may not be optimal.Salt Cells, Heaters & MicroenvironmentsLSI models bulk water.Inside salt cells and heaters, localized pH spikes can create scaling even when your overall LSI reads balanced. Context matters. Temperature matters. Ionic strength matters.Water chemistry is not binary — it's gradient-based.The Real TakeawayRange chemistry isn't stupid. It's probabilistic. It works under average conditions in average pools.The mistake is believing ranges are universal laws.LSI is necessary — but not sufficient. Balance is not a number. It's interaction between thermodynamics, kinetics, microbiology, and material science.Stop worshiping the calculator. Start managing the system.

Silver is breaking out, and Michael Oliver says the move may be entering an acceleration phase with most gains potentially arriving by summer. In this Sprott Money Monthly Wrap-Up, Craig Hemke and Oliver (Momentum Structural Analysis) discuss the unusual late-month trading disruption, why attempts to restrain markets can create a “compression effect,” and how that could fuel explosive upside in silver, including his long-term $300–$500 outlook. They also cover gold's strength and its breakout versus the S&P, why spread breakouts often mark the beginning of a larger trend, and why miners may be “reborn” as they reprice higher relative to gold alongside silver's improving performance versus gold.

This week's Talkhouse episode is particularly exciting for me, since my two guests are also two of my favorite songwriters and singers ever—and they happen to be big fans of each other. It's Matt Berninger and Eric Bachmann. Eric Bachmann was a massive part of the ‘90s indie-rock explosion as the snarling voice behind Archers of Loaf, a band that released four incredible albums in its relatively short run. But Bachmann ditched most of that genre's signifiers afterward and has spent the last quarter-century writing and recording incredible songs both under the name Crooked Fingers and under his own. His records are more in line with Tom Waits or Townes van Zandt than Pavement, and his deep catalog is worth a deep dive. You could start pretty much anywhere, so it might as well be with the brand new Crooked Fingers album Swet Deth. It's the first time Bachmann has dusted off the Crooked Fingers name in more than a decade, I'm assuming because it sounds like a more fleshed-out affair. He also invited some friends to provide backing vocals on a few tracks, including Superchunk's Mac McCaughan, Sharon Van Etten, and today's other guest, Matt Berninger of the National. Check out the Crooked Fingers song “From All Ways,” which features Berninger's distinctive voice. Fun fact: When the first two Crooked Fingers albums were reissued about 10 years ago, Bachmann asked two of his biggest fans to write the liner notes. One, I'm proud to say, was me, and the other was Matt Berninger, the intense baritone frontman of the National. As you'll hear in this chat, Matt has been a fan of Eric's since back in the Archers days. Berninger of course has had an incredible career in roughly that same timeframe, leading the National from small clubs to huge venues with a thoroughly unimpeachable catalog of smart, dark songs. (These two have those adjectives very much in common.) In addition to fronting the National, Berninger has stepped away on occasion for side projects and solo records. His latest release under his own name is Get Sunk, which came out last year. He's about to launch a Canadian tour followed by some dates in Europe—catch him if you can, the solo shows are a different vibe than the National, but no less worth your time. This wide-ranging conversation starts with a discussion of Bachmann's recent heart attack—a scary situation that's going to keep him off the road for a bit. They also talk about working together on “From All Ways” and a semi-secretive new thing that they've been hatching for the past couple of years. It's a great, deep chat between two guys who obviously admire each other's music a lot. If you're not familiar with both, I strongly suggest a deep dive. Enjoy the episode.

Nicole Melillo Shaw, Managing Director of Volvo UK, joins Big Boss Interview at a pivotal moment for the electric vehicle market, as the company recalls 10,500 EX30 electric cars following four battery fires globally.“It's against everything we stand for,” she says, reflecting on a situation that challenges a brand built on nearly a century of safety leadership. Despite a global failure rate of just 0.02% and no fatalities, Volvo identified the root cause in late December and immediately instructed owners not to charge beyond 70% while a fix is implemented. Repairs are scheduled to begin in late March. For Volvo, the response reflects what she describes as a precautionary, safety-first culture, even when the commercial implications are uncomfortable.Melillo Shaw examines what the recall means for consumer confidence in electric vehicles — a technology already under heightened scrutiny — even though petrol vehicles statistically present a greater inherent fire risk due to flammable fuel systems.The recall comes as electric vehicle adoption remains slower than manufacturers once anticipated, despite annual growth exceeding 20%. Volvo's UK electric sales peaked at 28% following the EX30 launch but have since stabilised at just over 22 per cent as more than 160 additional models enter the market and buyers opt for “one more petrol” or hybrid before fully switching.Range anxiety, she argues, is no longer the central issue, but infrastructure concerns persist. Confusing government messaging — pairing incentives with discussions of pay-per-mile charges and benefit-in-kind changes — continues to add to consumer hesitation.Global instability adds further complexity. Volvo has been regionalising production, partly in response to tariff pressures, building vehicles closer to the markets in which they are sold. That turbulence elevates the UK's importance as Volvo's third-largest market, where a direct-to-consumer model has delivered 40% growth and lifted market share from 2.5% to 3.5%.Government Zero Emission Vehicle mandates now require manufacturers to meet steep electrification quotas or face fines of £12,000 per non-compliant vehicle from November. Volvo discontinued diesel models in the UK in 2023 and says it could sell 100% electric vehicles tomorrow if demand existed. However, meeting regulatory targets while absorbing development costs and discounting pressures presents a commercial balancing act.Finally, Melillo Shaw reflects on her own trajectory — from Scunthorpe through healthcare brands to automotive leadership. Volvo deliberately recruited her because she had never bought a car, valuing the perspective of someone who understood the anxiety of a major purchase. She argues the industry must broaden access and challenge assumptions about who belongs in automotive careers, creating clearer pathways for talent from working-class communities.

Outdoor entertainment has grown rapidly as homeowners and businesses look for ways to extend living and social spaces beyond traditional interiors. Sylvox focuses on creating televisions engineered specifically for outdoor environments, offering durability, brightness, and weather resistance that standard indoor displays cannot match. The company has become a leading online brand in the outdoor TV category, supported by a broad product lineup that includes bathroom TVs, kitchen displays, RV televisions, and portable models designed for flexible placement.The latest addition to the portfolio is the frameless outdoor TV series, which introduces a minimal‑bezel design intended to blend seamlessly into outdoor settings. The one‑millimeter bezel creates an immersive viewing experience by reducing visual distractions and allowing the screen to integrate naturally into patios, backyards, pool areas, and commercial outdoor spaces. This design reflects a growing trend toward sleek, modern aesthetics in outdoor living environments.Durability and Performance for All Weather ConditionsOutdoor televisions must withstand conditions that indoor displays are never exposed to. Sylvox designs its products to operate reliably across a wide temperature range, from extreme cold to intense heat. The units are engineered to remain structurally sound even when temperatures exceed the recommended operating range, ensuring long‑term durability in harsh climates. Weather resistance is built into every model, allowing the displays to remain outdoors year‑round without the need for protective enclosures or makeshift coverings.Brightness is another critical factor for outdoor viewing. Sylvox offers displays that reach up to 5,000 nits, significantly brighter than standard indoor televisions. This level of brightness ensures visibility in direct sunlight and reduces glare, making the screens suitable for daytime sports, movies, and outdoor gatherings. The combination of high brightness and weather‑resistant construction supports consistent performance regardless of environmental conditions.A Range of Series for Different Outdoor ExperiencesThe frameless series is part of a broader lineup designed to meet diverse outdoor entertainment needs. The cinema series supports backyard movie nights and outdoor home theaters, offering large‑format displays that recreate the experience of watching films under the stars. The gaming series features high refresh rates, including 120‑hertz models, enabling smooth gameplay in outdoor settings. These displays allow users to enjoy console gaming, live sports, and fast‑moving content without motion blur.Sylvox also offers portable outdoor televisions with integrated stands and wheels, allowing users to move the display easily between locations. This flexibility supports a variety of use cases, from backyard gatherings to poolside viewing. Commercial environments such as restaurants, bars, and event venues also benefit from the durability and brightness of Sylvox displays, which can withstand continuous outdoor exposure while maintaining visual clarity.Accessible Pricing Through Vertical IntegrationOutdoor televisions have historically been associated with high price points, limiting their adoption among everyday consumers. Sylvox addresses this challenge through vertical integration, managing its own supply chain and manufacturing processes. This approach allows the company to offer high‑performance outdoor displays at prices significantly lower than traditional competitors. The frameless series begins around three thousand dollars, positioning it at roughly half the cost of comparable models in the market.By focusing on affordability without compromising quality, Sylvox aims to make outdoor entertainment accessible to a wider audience. The company's presence across major online retailers and its strong performance in search rankings reflect growing consumer interest in outdoor living solutions.ConclusionSylvox continues to expand the outdoor entertainment landscape through innovative designs, durable construction, and accessible pricing. The frameless series introduces a modern aesthetic that enhances outdoor spaces, while high‑brightness displays and weather‑resistant engineering ensure reliable performance in any environment. With a diverse lineup that includes cinema, gaming, portable, and specialty televisions, Sylvox supports a wide range of outdoor and lifestyle applications.

Were going back for more conversations from the show. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep CEDIA (Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association) is the global trade association for home technology professionals, specializing in smart home, automation, audio-visual, networking, and integrated systems. Its mission is to advance the home technology industry through education, certification, advocacy, and networking. Members include integrators, designers, manufacturers, and consultants who shape the connected environments we live and work in. CEDIA Expo is the industry's largest annual event for residential technology professionals. With hundreds of exhibitors, educational sessions, live demos, and global networking opportunities, it's where new ideas and innovations in smart home and AV integration take center stage. The Commercial Integrator Expo (CIX), co-located with CEDIA Expo, focuses on commercial integration technologies—from conferencing and IT infrastructure to building automation and emerging AV solutions—bringing together commercial integrators, IT pros, designers, and tech managers. Jason McGraw | Group VP and Show Director, CEDIA Expo / CIX Scope of the Show: McGraw details the scale of CEDIA Expo 2025, featuring over 350 exhibitors and immersive demo rooms that showcase integrated audio, video, and control systems. Integration Meets Design: Discussion centers on the critical partnership between integrators and the design-build community (interior designers, architects, builders). McGraw emphasizes that technology—ranging from AI and energy management to lighting—must be a foundational element of the design process, not an afterthought. The Business Case: Designers are encouraged to view integrators as essential trade partners, similar to electricians or plumbers, to better service clients and protect home networks. Dale Sandberg | Product Manager for Electronics, Sonance Aesthetic Performance: Sandberg discusses Sonance's philosophy that sound should support the design of a space rather than dominate it. The focus is on blending high-fidelity performance with discreet aesthetics. New Innovations: Highlights include the compact UA Series amplifiers designed to fit behind displays or in tight spaces, and the integration of professional-grade Blaze Audio amplifiers into the Sonance family. Outdoor Living: The conversation covers the growing trend of outdoor entertainment, where amplifiers and speakers are used to create immersive environments in backyards and outdoor kitchens. Jim Garrett | Senior Director of Product Strategy, Harman Luxury Audio Group Hidden Technology: Garrett addresses the challenge of eliminating “wall acne” through invisible speakers and design-integrated solutions that do not compromise acoustic performance. Pandemic Influence: The discussion explores how the pandemic shifted focus toward outdoor living and unconventional entertainment spaces, including garages and multi-generational gaming setups. Brand Portfolio: Insights into the product strategies for Harman's luxury brands—JBL, Revel, Mark Levinson, and JBL Synthesis—and the importance of gathering direct feedback from integrators to drive R&D.

Blaze Audio Amplifiers Sonance acquisition of Blaze Audio brand (Pascal, Denmark). Range from 60W per channel up to 400W bridged. Full DSP capability, rack-mountable, UL-rated. Outdoor applications via weather-rated cases. Design & Integration Perspective Compact electronics give designers freedom to hide gear while maintaining performance. Balancing performance and aesthetics: sound follows the design, not the other way around. Example: background music at parties that fills space without overwhelming conversation. Outdoor living trend: amplifiers and speakers enabling outdoor kitchens, theaters, and entertainment spaces. Company Ethos & Philosophy Mission: deliver complete audio solutions—amplification, processing, and speakers. Philosophy: the sonic experience should support the aesthetic experience of a home or space. Growth vision: expand residential dominance while building commercial presence. Takeaway: not just about volume—it's about creating the right experience.

Thom's Nutshell Wisdom: “Practice conversations to convey rather than convince.” Healthy Conversation is “present-centered.” In a healthy conversation, we don't need to know exactly what we're trying to convey. With defenses down, we learn more. How much “we,” and how much “I” can we include in any relationship? How can we get on the same side of the problem? Anxiety is at the root of why we do this. We feel threatened so we feel a compulsion to manipulate someone into our point of view. The first step of dismantling this is awareness that its happening. Then we “befriend our experience,” which we derive from the work of Nathaniel Branden. Visit our website: www.emotionalsobriety.info Follow us on social media: Instagram: thomrutledge2 Joe C.

Softer CPI readings pushed yields to multi‑month lows, while the S&P 500 churned between key moving averages amid options‑driven swings. AI‑related selling showed early signs of thawing, even as geopolitical tensions—especially around Iran—kept oil prices elevated. Economic data remained resilient, highlighted by strong capital goods orders and lower jobless claims. With GDP, PMIs, and major tech earnings on deck, investors head into next week cautiously optimistic but alert to global risks.

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast, we've got two women whose singing styles are similar in that they're both absolutely singular, unmistakable, and wonderfully out of step—just don't call it spoken-word. It's Florence Shaw of Dry Cleaning and Sue Tompkins of Life Without Buildings. As you'll hear in this chat, Dry Cleaning sort of fell together in London around 2017, when the three instrumentalists approached their friend Florence Shaw to add some vocals to the music they had been writing. It turned out that Shaw's approach—speaking dense, clearly crafted but never obvious words—slotted in perfectly with the sort of nervous-yet-precise songs they had been working on. By 2020, Dry Cleaning had signed with the venerated 4AD label and the next year released a debut album, New Long Leg, that earned comparisons to post-punk greats like Siouxsie and Sonic Youth. For their third studio album, Secret Love, Dry Cleaning worked with producer-slash-musician Cate Le Bon, and they stretched out a bit, mellowing the sharp corners a bit while Shaw experiments more with vocal melody than before. Check out “Cruise Ship Designer” from Secret Love right here. Another person that eagle-eared listeners have compared Florence Shaw to is Sue Tompkins of the legendary, kinda-lost Scottish band Life Without Buildings. Life Without Buildings only released one album, Any Other City, in their brief three-year run, but it had a focused impact. Shaw remembers hearing the record as a teen. “It blew my mind that you could free yourself from the pressure of making traditional sense in lyrics,” she told the website Hearing Things, before mentioning that she'd love to meet Tompkins one day and thank her. Well, with some recent activity on the Life Without Buildings front—Tompkins contributed vocals to a new Sleaford Mods song, and the band just announced a couple of reunion shows—it seemed like the perfect time to get them together. In this delightful chat, Tompkins and Shaw talk about the similar origins of their respective bands, how genuinely kind the dudes of Sleaford Mods are, and their understandable reticence about the term “spoken word.” They also chatted a bunch about the TV shows Dragons' Den and Eastenders, but we had to trim that in the interest of time. Trust me, it was great. Enjoy.  Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Sue Tompkins and Florence Shaw for chatting.

If you've been tracking macros for years and still don't trust yourself around food… this episode is for you! In this Boss Bitch Radio episode, I'm talking to the competitors, the ex-competitors, the MyFitnessPal queens, the women who live and die by their macro numbers. If you feel like the only way you can stay "on track" is by weighing every gram and logging every bite, we need to have a real conversation. I'm not here to bash macro tracking. It can be a powerful tool. I've used it for over a decade. I competed almost 20 times as an IFBB Pro. I know what it takes to get shredded. But I also know what it costs. If you're a competitor, former competitor, chronic dieter, or woman trying to heal your relationship with food after years of macro tracking, this episode will hit.
