I sat down with Dr. Srikumar Rao, one of the most popular speakers from the Embodiment Conference, to explore what really makes people happy or unhappy. We talked about why most of us aren't living in the “real world”, how our mental chatter creates unnecessary suffering, and the practical ways to step out of that trap. Srikumar shares how ancient wisdom traditions can be translated into everyday life without losing their depth, and why letting go of the need to control everything is key to freedom. We discuss the limits of success, the illusion of security, and how to shift your mindset so joy becomes less conditional.

本期节目，我们以斯坦福跨性别生物学教授琼·拉夫加登的著作《进化的彩虹》为起点，一起探索生物世界里那些“非模板”的性别角色和广泛存在的同性性行为。为什么在进化中看似“不利于”繁殖的同性性行为没有被淘汰？它仅仅是“意外”还是隐藏着不为人知的进化优势？我们还会将目光投向人类本身，回顾从备受争议的“同性恋基因”Xq28研究，到近年来大规模的全基因组关联分析（GWAS），科学是如何一步步揭示性取向的复杂性的。当我们试图用简单的模板去框定复杂的生命时，这个模板本身才是问题所在。⏰ 时间轴00:26 《进化的彩虹》，开启一场关于生物多样性、性别与性的科学探讨。06:48 打破性别模板：从雄性可变雌性的小丑鱼，到“爸爸怀孕”的海马，再到拥有“假阴茎”的雌性鬣狗，见识自然界中颠覆想象的性别角色。16:21 人类的性别光谱：Facebook上的56种性别选项是什么？聊聊间性人群体在“二元论”社会中所面临的困境。21:05 动物界的同性性行为：以倭黑猩猩和日本猕猴为例，看同性间的亲密行为如何成为化解矛盾、巩固联盟，甚至只是为了“Have Fun”的社交方式。30:04 同性恋的进化优势？黑天鹅的雄性配对会共同“偷蛋”育雏，其后代存活率竟远高于异性家庭。33:24 “同性恋基因”为何存在：探讨适应性假说、基因多效性以及“叔叔假说”，揭示同性恋可能带来的隐性繁殖优势。40:12 科学如何研究同性恋：回顾从1993年备受争议的X染色体“同性恋基因”研究，到2019年近50万人的大型GWAS分析，科学认知发生了怎样的变化？46:59 最终的思考：我们总是试图寻找某个“致病基因”，这是否源于一种想把“非模板”病理化的倾向？也许，多样性本身就是答案。故事征集正在听节目的你是否有过性别认同的艰难时刻呢？你与同性朋友是否有超越友谊的联结呢？如果你愿意与我们分享你的故事，欢迎在shownotes中填写问卷给我们投稿。

In the latest episode ofThe New Stack Agents, Naveen Rao, VP of AI at Databricks and a former neuroscientist, reflects on the evolution of AI, neural networks, and the energy constraints that define both biological and artificial intelligence. Rao, who once built circuit systems as a child and later studied the brain's 20-watt efficiency at Duke and Brown, argues that current AI development—relying on massive energy-intensive data centers—is unsustainable. He believes true intelligence should emerge from low-power, efficient systems, more aligned with biological computing.Rao warns that the industry is headed toward “model collapse,” where large language models (LLMs) begin training on AI-generated content instead of real-world data, leading to compounding inaccuracies and hallucinations. He stresses the importance of grounding AI in reality and moving beyond brute-force scaling. Rao sees intelligence not just as a function of computing power, but as a distributed, observational system—“life is a learning machine,” he says—hinting at a need to fundamentally rethink how we build AI.Learn more from The New Stack about the latest insights about the evolution of AI and neural networks: The 50-Year Story of the Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of Neural NetworksThe Evolution of the AI Stack: From Foundation to AgentsJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

In a recent essay in Foreign Affairs, the scholar and former U.S. official Ashley J. Tellis makes a provocative argument about India's foreign policy. In a piece titled “India's Great-Power Delusions,” Tellis argues that Indian policymakers have their priorities wrong. Instead of pushing for what they call “multipolarity” in the international system, Indian leaders should align more closely with the United States. Tellis insists that India will be able to fend off China, its far stronger rival in Asia, only with U.S. backing. But it may lose that support if it continues to express skepticism about U.S. leadership and courts U.S. adversaries. Tellis's essay has provoked huge debate—in Washington, in New Delhi, and in the pages of Foreign Affairs. In this episode, Dan Kurtz-Phelan brings Tellis into conversation with two of his critics: the former Indian foreign secretary Nirupama Rao and the analyst Dhruva Jaishankar. Kurtz-Phelan spoke with them on July 25, a few days before the Trump administration announced 25 percent tariffs on India, the latest twist in ongoing negotiations with New Delhi over a new trade deal. Tellis, Rao, and Jaishankar debate India's pathways to power in the September/October 2025 issue of Foreign Affairs. Their disagreements touch not just on the directions of Indian and U.S. foreign policies but also on the very nature of international order in the twenty-first century.

Today's guest is Aaron Gatti, founder of Brami, the fastest growing pasta brand in the U.S. Aaron's story begins on a small farm in southern Italy, where he spent childhood summers with his grandparents. Not by choice, but because his parents couldn't afford childcare back in the States. It was there he discovered the lupini bean, a Mediterranean superfood once used to fuel Roman warriors and the same ingredient his grandmother credits for helping her survive World War II. Years later, that inspiration became Brami, a pasta made in the mountains of Molise, Italy, using just two ingredients: durum wheat semolina and lupini bean flour. No shortcuts, no over-processing — just premium Italian tradition with modern nutritional benefits. While most alternative pastas in the U.S. are ultra-processed and nutritionally empty, Brami stands out by going back to the source. With a vertically integrated supply chain, they control everything from milling to storage, delivering quality you can taste and trust. The result? Brami has grown 1,404 percent year over year and is now sold in over 5,000 stores nationwide, outpacing legacy brands like Goodles, Rummo, and Rao's. On this week's episode you'll learn: • Why better for you pasta doesn't mean sacrificing flavor, and how Brami lets you taste Italy every day • The secret to a healthy, one pot Italian meal that's as easy as it is nutritious • What makes Italian food feel so satisfying, and how Brami captures that with a twist • How the lupini bean went from family secret to venture backed superfood • How Brami scaled in retail and increased sales by 40 percent at Whole Foods

Atai Life Sciences CEO Dr Srinivas Rao talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's recent topline results from its Phase 2b trial evaluating BPL-003 for treatment-resistant depression. Rao described BPL-003 as a short-acting psychedelic with a total psychedelic duration of under two hours. He said, “The majority of patients were actually discharge ready by 90 minutes.” The study, conducted in nearly 200 patients, used three dosing levels and showed that the 8mg dose produced a change of over six points on the MADRS scale at four weeks — a benefit that persisted through eight weeks. He noted the findings confirmed strong efficacy and durability, comparable to psilocybin but with a significantly shorter duration of effect. The safety profile was positive, with no serious adverse events and the vast majority of side effects being mild or moderate. Rao also previewed next steps, including data from an open-label extension and a two-dose induction strategy. He confirmed plans to meet with regulators for end-of-Phase 2 guidance. Beyond BPL-003, Atai is progressing VLS-01 and EMP-01. VLS-01 is in a Phase 2b study, expected to report in Q1 next year. Rao also updated viewers on RL-007, a non-psychedelic cognitive enhancer in development through Recognify Life Sciences. Although RL-007 showed numerical improvement in a recent Phase 2b trial, it didn't meet statistical significance, and Atai plans to explore partnership opportunities rather than continuing development in-house.

With millions of students beginning their summer vacation, theaters across the country are raising the stakes tocontend in the fiercely competitive market.随着数百万学生开始暑假，全国各地的剧院都在提高赌注，以在竞争激烈的市场中竞争。As of Sunday, the summer box office—the year's longest movie season, lasting from June 1 to Aug 31—has raked in over 2.54 billion yuan ($354.5 million), close to last year's 2.825 billion yuan during the same period, according to the showbiz information live tracker Maoyan Pro.根据娱乐圈信息实时追踪机构猫眼专业的数据，截至周日，夏季票房已超过25.4亿元（3.545亿美元），接近去年同期的28.25亿元。夏季票房是今年最长的电影季，从6月1日持续到8月31日。Currently topping the summer charts is the crime film She's Got No Name, starring A-list actress Zhang Yizi. Inspired by a 1945 domestic violence case, the film depicts an abused wife who murdered her husband in Shanghai.目前，在夏季排行榜上名列前茅的是由一线女演员张一姿主演的犯罪电影《她没有名字》。受1945年一起家庭暴力案件的启发，这部电影描绘了一位在上海谋杀丈夫的受虐妻子。Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, the eighth installment of Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise's long-running espionage action franchise, has taken the second spot, followed by the dinosaur-themed sci-fi blockbuster Jurassic World Rebirth.《任务：不可能》是好莱坞超级明星汤姆·克鲁斯长期从事间谍活动系列的第八部，排名第二，紧随其后的是以恐龙为主题的科幻大片《侏罗纪世界重生》。A total of 104 films have been released or are set to debut this summer, with animated films—a family-friendly genre—emerging as one of the season's biggest draws.今年夏天，共有104部电影上映或即将上映，其中动画电影——一种适合家庭观看的类型——成为本季最受欢迎的电影之一。Japanese animated film Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback, and Endless Journey of Love, a Chinese animation feature about the romance between an assassin and a fishing village girl, have respectively ranked as the fourth and sixth highest-grossing titles of the summer.日本动画电影《名侦探柯南：单眼闪回》和中国动画电影《无尽的爱情之旅》分别排名夏季票房第四和第六。Highly anticipated upcoming animated films include Curious Tales of a Temple, which is an innovative retelling of Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) novelist Pu Songling's masterpiece Liaozhai Zhiyi (Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio), and The Legend of Hei 2, which will once again bring to life the titular black cat demon—a shape-shifter capable of transforming into an adorable boy.备受期待的即将上映的动画电影包括《天宫奇闻》，这是对清朝（1644-1911）小说家蒲松龄的代表作《聊斋志异》的创新重述，以及《黑传说2》，它将再次将名义上的黑猫妖变为现实——一个能够变成可爱男孩的变形器。With more live-action tentpoles gearing up for the lucrative season, highlighted projects also include Dongji Rescue, based on the true story of Chinese fishermen rescuing British prisoners of war from the sinking Japanese cargo ship Lisbon Maru in the 1940s, and The Lychee Road, which fictionalizes a Tang Dynasty (618-907) low-level official's difficult mission to transport the fruit from which the movie's title is taken.随着越来越多的真人帐篷杆为利润丰厚的季节做准备，突出的项目还包括《东吉救援》和《荔枝路》，前者基于20世纪40年代中国渔民从沉没的日本货船里斯本丸上营救英国战俘的真实故事，后者虚构了唐朝（618-907）一名低级官员运输电影标题所指水果的艰巨任务。"The summer season is heating up with a variety of genres and themes," said Rao Shuguang, president of the China Film Critics Association.中国影评人协会会长饶曙光表示：“夏季正以各种类型和主题升温。”Despite the Chinese film market facing various challenges—from the unprecedented expansion of short videos to decreasing investment—domestic filmmakers have been actively developing new methods to attract and resonate with audiences, he added.他补充道，尽管中国电影市场面临着各种挑战——从前所未有的短视频扩张到投资减少——但国内电影制作人一直在积极开发新的方法来吸引观众并引起共鸣。"A healthy and mature market isn't just about runaway hits like Ne Zha 2—it's about having a steady stream of high-quality films across all genres. Different movies need to find their right audiences—that's how a sustainable industry can be built and kept growing," Rao said.饶说：“一个健康而成熟的市场不仅仅是像《哪吒2》这样的热门电影，而是所有类型的高质量电影源源不断地涌现。不同的电影需要找到合适的观众，这就是一个可持续的产业如何建立和保持增长。”。Propelled by the summer blockbusters, this year's box office has reached 29.9 billion yuan, according to live tracker Beacon.据实时追踪公司Beacon称，在夏季大片的推动下，今年的票房已达到299亿元。Chen Jin, a veteran analyst at Beacon's research institute, said that the industry expects the summer season to boost morale and accelerate recovery.Beacon研究所资深分析师陈进表示，业界预计夏季将提振士气，加快复苏。domestic violencen.家庭暴力/dəˈmɛstɪk ˈvaɪələns/blockbustern.大轰动/ˈblɒkbʌstər/

Can't walk because of knee pain? This could save your legs AND your knees! Join hosts Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips as they interview interventional cardiologist Dr. Sid Rao about Genicular Arterial Embolization (GAE) – a groundbreaking minimally-invasive procedure targeting the root cause of osteoarthritis knee pain. What makes GAE revolutionary: • Performed through a tiny nick in the skin • Targets inflamed blood vessels feeding the painful knee • Can provide significant pain relief without major surgery • Potentially delays or eliminates the need for knee replacement • Quick recovery compared to surgical alternatives This innovation is especially crucial for peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients caught in a dangerous cycle: They need to walk to improve circulation and grow natural bypasses around blocked arteries, but knee arthritis pain prevents them from this essential exercise. Dr. Rao will explain how this procedure works, who's an ideal candidate, and how it could be a game-changer for maintaining mobility and independence. ] #KneePain #PAD #ArterialDisease #MinimallyInvasive #WalkForHealth #InnovativeMedicine #VascularHealth

The reality is when we have accountability, there is better basic care. There's higher efficiency. There's like we get stronger team engagement. We're able to have better profitability in the business. We're able to have a happier, more cohesive team. All these things are super, super powerful for you. And the reality is that these are gonna be some effective strategies to help you create that culture of ownership in your practice. So.   You guys know us, we are the Dental A team. We love what we do. We love being here with you. We love serving you. We love giving you tips and tricks to make your practice even better and easier. So that's what we're about. That's what we're here for. And we are so excited to have you here. The reality is we have coached hundreds of practices, thousands of team members and helped them figure out exactly how to give this ownership feel, how to give accountability feels, how to be able to do these things within your practice. And I'm happy to share those things with you.   We do work in person and virtually with practices. We work across the nation and we do it in a fun and effective way. We're truly the experts in consulting and it's something that I just love and obsess of working with clients. Today, I just want to do this quick short actionable episode with you guys so that way you guys could go implement them. I like it to be tactical, practical, having a good time. What do you say? I'm here for it. I hope you're here for it. So step one to get this ownership and accountability is   Kiera Dent (02:16.386) Number one, you wanna have clear expectations and empower decision making. So something that we did just recently was we changed up job descriptions and we were able to make it to where people knew exactly what their decision making power was. And I thought that that was something so just weird. I was like, do people really need to have this? And what I realized is they do, they need to know, they need to know what is it? Like, what can I make decisions on? And Britt and I talked a little bit about these six principles.   of how to make decisions of like, number one is look into it, report it and I'll decide what to do. Number two is look into it, report alternatives with pros and cons and your recommendation. Number three is look into it, let me know what you intend to do, but don't do it unless I say yes. Number four is look into it, let me know what you intend to do and do it unless I say no. And five is take action, let me know what you did. Six is take action, no further contact required. And what's interesting is when you start to give team members   kind of even these levels, which one do you want them to do? How can they make it? What are the areas that they have control over to make decisions and really empowering your team? That way it doesn't fall all back onto to leaders. This really can help them start to feel a sense of ownership because now they know, they know their department, they know the areas that they can actually influence and impact because otherwise it just becomes blaming, it becomes waiting, it becomes like, hey, we don't really know. And so what you've got to do is you've really got to make sure that there's clear defined roles.   I notice the front office is often what I call sloppy soup. We don't know who's doing what, everybody's doing everything and no one is actually accountable. Nobody actually can do things. They have no idea what they're doing. And so let's get out of that. Let's figure out what are the clear roles, what are the responsibilities, and what is the KPI or key performance indicator? What is the number that that role is going to actually impact and have an effect over? That's really what we wanna look into. We wanna dive into that. That's gonna help them out.   Then within that, we help them also know what is your decision making authority and also who do you report to within that. What this now does is we've just set the rules of the game. Your team now knows who do I talk to? What can I make decisions over? What my number is? What my job is? There's a lot less confusion. And I know this sounds like so cliche and like, but Kara, that's really it. A lot of times the ownership just comes from a lack of clarity. It comes from a lack of, don't even know what I need to do. This is where we're going to be able to get.   Kiera Dent (04:36.27) people super empowered, super on top of it, super on their A game and helping them to really be able to make decisions. A lot of times people don't have ownership, not because they don't care, because they don't want to, but because they honest to goodness just don't know, like they feel they can't take the ownership, they feel they can't make the decisions. So I have really loved those six areas of how can I get feedback? So when Brit has a project or we're working on something new, so let's say we're rolling out a new project or we're hiring a new team member.   I try hard to tell Britt like, okay, this is a number four. So look into it, let me know what you intend to do and do it unless I say no. And when you're working with new team members and new leaders, sometimes they are gonna be at this like look into it, report and I'll figure out what to do. But that doesn't give a lot of ownership. That gives a lot of dictation and dictatorship rather than ownership. And so if you really, really want to have your practice flourish, help them know what the clear expectations are, what their role is, and then what their decision-making authority is.   There's a practice that I watched do this really, really, really successfully. Well, and what's interesting is the owner doctor picks, like they are, they're growing, they have multiple practices, multiple locations. And the owner doctor picks and says like, this is where we're going to actually have the practice be after that, the team members get to make all the rest of the decisions and it's leadership and then the office managers. And I think what's really incredible about that of the rules of the game have been laid out and then they're allowed to make those decisions. How much ownership do think this practice has? It's insane.   and they fall through and they're accountable because they feel that they actually can contribute. They feel like they can own this. And I think that's one of the biggest pieces to helping your teams have that. So that's number one. So call to action on that is like, your key responsibilities, figure out the KPIs, get clear job descriptions, and then help them know what the decision-making power is. How can they do this? And even start using those six steps. They really, really, really do help. It's been incredible to watch it work out. Step two is going to be making sure that they have measurable goals and accountability system.   What we're gonna do is we've got job descriptions, it's defined, they know what their number is, but now like what are the goals? What are we even reaching for? And then how do we follow up on this? So Tiff and I were talking about this with a client and it's interesting because when you actually have strong accountability with your practice, team members flourish. But if we don't have accountability, we don't follow up if something's off track. We don't look into it and ask them like, hey, I noticed this, what is your plan to get this back on track? This is going to really struggle because A, our numbers are going to go down.   Kiera Dent (07:02.678) And B, our accountability is really lacking. And it's wild because when you start to track your KPIs and we track them consistently, and then when they're off track, we figure out why and we get them back on track. Like it's this whole tracking progress and having follow through to make sure things are actually moving forward. Otherwise we just sit there. Otherwise team members are just like, well, we track numbers for the sake of tracking numbers, but what does it really matter? Or we don't even track numbers. You're looking for trends and we want to teach our team to look at these numbers, their KPIs, the numbers that they have.   We want to teach them to use these numbers to be able to be levers. and I talk about this often of how numbers are levers in a business. And once you know what your numbers are, you can actually then know, I raise our production? Do we need to increase our diagnosis? Do we need to increase our case acceptance? Do we need to decrease our costs? Do we need to make more outbound calls? Like what really needs to happen? And we utilize all those numbers to figure out exactly what we're doing with it. So it really becomes something of like,   tracking on a scorecard and all of our practices track it. We have team members tracking this. And then we teach leaders how to follow through with accountability. And accountability is really just being consistent in a lot of ways and empowering them like, hey, this number's off track. What's your game plan? What's your plan for it? And this way we can constantly review it. So we recommend tracking your numbers weekly and then reviewing them in depth monthly is what we do with a lot of our offices to make sure that our numbers are moving forward, that things are tracking in a really good way. This is what it's going to be. And what's crazy is   People who start using KPI trackers, people who start tracking their numbers with their team is going to be an area where they actually like truly they start hitting numbers that they've never hit and they're like, wow, just as tracking numbers, instantly we started to become more profitable. Instantly we start to have more production on the schedule. Why? Because we're focused on it. And what you focus on is what you're going to achieve. So if we're focusing on these numbers, you better believe they're going to start to increase. We then start to change systems and implement other pieces based on what the numbers are telling us.   Otherwise, we're not gonna change things. So this is where it's super powerful and super fun because now you've got numbers. You've got all these different pieces that are going to impact it and influence it that are really truly going to help you and your team thrive. So really building up a simple tracking system to track those KPIs weekly and monthly is going to exponentially help you. And then number three, when I think about ownership, like...   Kiera Dent (09:23.022) I don't know how to say this in a polite way, so I'll just say it. I also think for owners realizing that your team, you are still the owner and team members might not take as much ownership and that's not to say there's anything wrong. So I think also being like realistic with what's going on with it, but then also really truly highlighting those who take ownership. So within our company, we have our team read extreme ownership. We have pens, I'm not even joking. I have it right here, I saw it.   Literally, extreme ownership. have pens, there we go, sorry, extreme ownership. And we share it with our team and we remind them that we want them to have extreme ownership. I want them to take ownership of their position. I want our leaders to take ownership of their departments within the realms. Remember, we put the bumper lanes there of what are the realms and what can they do? And then I want them to truly take ownership of their practice. I want to constantly highlight team members that are taking ownership.   So we put that in our Friday five shout outs. put that in our core value shout outs. I put that in highlights in the team chat of celebrating and encouraging when people are taking ownership. And then if someone's not having that honest conversation with them of, this is what I'm expecting. What's going on? What are the hurdles? What are the stumbling blocks and how can we overcome those together? That way we can truly own our business. And I think when I realized like bottom line is a lot of team members may never care about the business as much as I do. And that's okay.   I really hope you heard that. That's okay. But there will also be a lot of team members who do care about the business like you do. They care about it maybe even more than you do and that's really beautiful. And so hold on to those ones who are truly incredible and they own all their positions and then also be okay when people aren't necessarily that way. They don't necessarily care about it as much as you do. That's also okay. But we wanna create a culture of ownership. We wanna create a culture of accountability and follow through. We wanna create a culture.   where we're following through on numbers and KPIs. And that's something that we're super, super, super paramount about doing. This is going to help you really have it. And it's wild, because when I watch offices highlight people and shout people out and I watch it within our team and I watch it within other teams, people start to follow through on that. We had an ownership award all last year and it was really fun to see who was winning ownership and who was the person who was taking this on and who was getting those MVP awards. And what's wild is you will see an increase for Rao.   Kiera Dent (11:46.446) you'll see an increase in culture and you'll see an increase in ownership being taken in your practice. So whatever you need to do to create a culture and recognition of that, I would recommend highly implementing that. So this was a quick down and dirty episode with you of these quick actionable items for you of number one, creating clear expectations and job descriptions, making sure that we really are super crystal clear and empower that decision-making ability. Then after that, we wanna make sure we've got tracking our KPIs with accountability and follow through.   So we don't just track for tracking, we track with actual follow through updates, making sure we're getting the results that we're looking for. And lastly, finding a way for us to celebrate those who are taking great ownership within our practice and our company, really truly empowering them, giving them the praise, giving them the recognition and teaching our team that this is the culture that we want. Giving them, like I said, the reading opportunities, different opportunities, letting them know this is the culture that we want to have.   We want extreme ownership. We want to have our team taking ownership. I want you to feel like this is your practice because it is. So if this is your practice, what do you want to do? How do we want to behave? What are the core values we want to be living by and really empowering your leadership team to influence and push that forward for you. The reality is this is going to be a way to help you increase ownership and accountability within your practice. And it seems so simple, but just because it's simple and easy does not mean that it's easy to execute on.   These things take office as time, it takes change, takes change to shift a culture, it takes change to implement ownership and accountability. And so really taking that on and committing to that, you are going to be so much happier in your practice. So with that, I honestly believe that if you want to build this high performing team with true accountability, ownership, really getting them to take it on, DM us, we're here to help you. This is what we do day in and day out. I would love to help you send us a message on Instagram.   or check out our website.

And if you're like, hey, I wanna go to the next level, I want you to help our team, I want you to be able to do this, reach out. This is where we're able to help you get ownership and accountability within your practice. We have these conversations with your office manager, so you don't have to. We have these conversations with team members, so you don't have to. And it becomes something where we really can grow these teams to have high accountability, high ownership.   Kiera Dent (14:01.9) and being able to have that culture within your practice. So reach out. This is truly what the Dental A team does. This is what we're about. This is what we love to do. We are truly the best in the business at doing this. And I know that if you implement these things, you are going to see a very different practice. You're gonna see so many great things happen that you will be shocked and so happy. And with that guys, always, always, always, always make sure that the culture that you want is the culture that you're creating. You as leaders are the ones who are creating the culture. So make sure it's the culture that you want.   And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team podcast.  

Hi friends,If restocking your pantry feels overwhelming, or it's something you just don't like doing, you're not alone.In our latest podcast episode, Anna and I chat about what it means to stock your pantry in a way that supports you and your family, without the pressure for a picture perfect pantry. Photo by Annie Spratt on UnsplashWe chat about:* Why restocking your pantry matters (and how it helps reduce stress).* A few of our favorite convenience foods. * What to do if you only have five minutes today to think about restocking your pantry.Plus, we share the idea behind our No Recipe Required ebook and how it can help you simplify feeding your family. We hope you find one helpful nugget in this week's episode and that it leaves you feeling a little less pressure to do it all perfectly. We'd love for you to share some of your favorite pantry or freezer staples in the comment section below. In the episode we also mention:* Take the Frenzy Out of Feeding Membership* Pinney Davenport Nutrition (DC Area)* Lutz, Alexander & Associates Nutrition Therapy (Raleigh, NC)TranscriptEpisode 101: Stocking Your PantryElizabeth:Hi, Elizabeth. I'm so excited to talk with you today.Anna:Yes, I'm excited to talk to you! Let's jump in.Today we're talking about stocking your pantry—something that can feel either fun or kind of boring, depending on your perspective. We're going to make it fun! I think for a lot of people it can feel overwhelming, like, “Whoa, stocking my pantry?! That feels like a big task.” Why do you think this is such an important topic?Elizabeth:I agree—it can feel like a lot, and maybe even a little boring. But like you said, we'll make it fun! I think the overwhelm comes from all the suggestions out there—so many different people telling you different things. Whose advice are you supposed to follow?And then there's the idea that stocking your pantry means spending thousands of dollars on matching containers and making it all look perfect. I'm a little envious of those pantries! I've even started trying to do that before getting sidetracked, asking myself, “Wait, why am I spending all this money?”It's absolutely fine if you like having a super-organized pantry and you're able to keep it that way. But a lot of people just don't know where to begin. They hear “stock your pantry” and wonder, “Do I need to go out and buy everything on some giant list?”That's not what we're talking about. We're here to share suggestions that can help simplify your pantry—and reduce the overwhelm.Anna:Exactly. And today, we'll share a few ideas for how to stock your pantry. I also want to mention that in our Take the Frenzy Out of Feeding membership, we offer tools and templates that can help with this process. So if you're listening and feeling overwhelmed or want more support, those resources are there for you.Elizabeth:Yes! We've got our favorite frozen and convenience foods lists in there—really everything we use to stock our own pantries. Not to overwhelm, but to offer inspiration.Another thing to remember is that keeping your pantry stocked can help reduce chaos. Fewer last-minute grocery trips!Anna:Right. If you listened to our last episode, this is part of supporting yourself—building in a little structure so you're not constantly wondering, “Do I have this ingredient?” The food is right there.Elizabeth:Exactly. And when we think about stocking the pantry, something we always think about is having the ingredients on hand for your go-to meals.We talked about that in our last episode, but could you give everyone a quick refresher, Anna?Anna:Sure. A go-to meal is really anything that makes your life easier. Something you can put together quickly with ingredients you usually have on hand—maybe in 15 minutes, maybe 30, depending on your household. There's no right or wrong here.Elizabeth:Yes! Personally, I keep a running list in the Notes app on my phone. When I run out of something, I add it to the list right away. Before we had phones, I used post-its or scrap paper… but I always lost them!Now, I look at my go-to meals list, decide what I want to make that week, and check what ingredients I need. I go through my fridge, freezer, and pantry and see what's missing. I usually still forget something, but maybe only one thing.Anna:You talked about that in our last episode, too. I think I'm a little less organized than you. I'll take a few minutes to scan my pantry, fridge, and freezer. We've suggested before that once you have your list of go-to meals, you can create a pantry ingredients list from that. It's a quick way to check whether you've got the basics before you head to the store.But there are different levels of organization, and it's about figuring out what works for you.Elizabeth:Totally. And the simplest thing really is just taking a moment during meal planning to look through what you already have. Sometimes I think I have something and skip checking, then later realize I don't.Anna:Been there!So, can you walk us through your steps for keeping your kitchen stocked—maybe a recap?Elizabeth:Sure! It's mostly just that I add things to my Notes app whenever I run out. That way, when I'm making my grocery list or placing an order, I can just check that one list.Anna:We use a small whiteboard inside our pantry for that. My husband and I both write on it, but I have to remember to look at it! Your system is more streamlined.Elizabeth:Yeah, my kids are 17 and 21, so they both have phones. I tell everyone to either tell me what we're out of or text it to me so I can add it to my Notes app. It really helps to have one place to look.Anna:That's so smart. It's always that mental checklist—“What am I forgetting?”—and this simplifies it.You're a big fan of convenience foods, and I'd love to hear about your go-to items. What makes cooking easier at your house?Elizabeth:Definitely Rao's Marinara. We buy it in a three-pack from Costco. Chad, my husband, keeps our Costco list. We use Rao's for your spinach lasagna, pasta nights, pizzas—so many things!We also love the Just Bare chicken nuggets. Before that, we were really into the Trader Joe's Mandarin Chicken.Frozen waffles, frozen dumplings, boxed mac and cheese—those are weekend lunch staples or quick dinners for the kids. And I love store-bought pesto for tossing with pasta and peas.Oh, and Lundberg shelf-stable precooked rice is a big favorite. Also, frozen tortellini, pre-chopped broccoli, bagged salad, microwave green beans…Anna:Yes! And single-serve hummus, little egg bites from Costco or Trader Joe's, and toaster oven snacks like pizza bites. Cereal too—convenience foods aren't just dinner-specific!Elizabeth:Exactly. It's okay—actually, it's necessary—to use convenience foods. Life is full. Cooking from scratch every night just isn't realistic for most people.Anna:Yes! And we'd love to hear from listeners—what are your favorite convenience foods? Email us or leave a comment on this Substack post.Elizabeth:Yes, please share! I also wanted to mention our No Recipe Required e-book that's on our website. Can you tell everyone how that came to be and how it ties into pantry stocking?Anna:Sure! We wanted to offer more than just a list—we created a book that walks people through our absolute easiest meals. You don't need a recipe—just simple instructions.It's a reminder that not everything has to be made from scratch. We're bombarded with messages telling us we should be baking our own crackers and growing our own veggies. And hey, if I had space, I'd totally have chickens! But that's not realistic for everyone.So this book offers real-life meal ideas—simple, doable, low-pressure.Elizabeth:And the meals in it are mostly things you can make with a well-stocked pantry. Think: spaghetti and meatballs with broccoli. Pasta, jarred sauce, frozen meatballs, and a veggie—done.It doesn't have to be a gourmet salad. It can be sliced cucumbers in a bowl.We want to model for our kids the kind of cooking they can do when they're on their own.Anna:Yes! Okay, I'm putting you on the spot again. Let's say someone just listened to this episode and they have five minutes. What's one thing they can do today to support their pantry?Elizabeth:If they've made their go-to meals list, they could write down the ingredients needed for each one. Or simply peek in their pantry and see what they're out of.Anna:Yes, and sometimes the idea of shopping for a whole week feels overwhelming. You can just grab a few things. You don't need a full grocery trip—just get what you need to feel more supported today.Elizabeth:Totally. It takes some experimenting, but finding a system that works for you is the goal.Anna:Exactly. We hope you're leaving today with one small idea that feels helpful!Elizabeth:Thanks for listening, and we'll see you in a couple of weeks. This is a public episode.

Former NASA Chief Economist Akhil Rao explains why NASA needs economic expertise to navigate the complex—and often misunderstood—market forces that will determine the success or failure of its private partnerships. As NASA relies ever more on commercial companies to enable its own exploration efforts, it is imperative, Rao believes, to provide clear-eyed perspectives that highlight the challenges and solutions required to reach success. And why NASA puts itself at risk for pursuing faith-based program investments after dissolving the strategy and economics team at the agency a few months ago.

On this week's episode, Dr. Srinivas Rao, co-founder and CEO at atai Life Sciences, explains how his engineering background led him to the development of psychedelic compounds for treating depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. Internal drug development efforts at atai are focused on short-duration psychedelics that can work within existing healthcare infrastructure, with the potential to transform the treatment of mental health disorders. Rao also talks about atai's hub and spoke model for investing in other psychedelic companies, what MAPS/Lykos Therapeutics got wrong in the run-up to FDA's review of Lykos's MDMA candidate for PTSD, and whether psychedelic therapies need the "trip" to catalyze network disruption and neuroplasticity in the brain. This episode of the Business of Biotech is brought to you by Avantor.

Episode Title: Sleep, Stress, and Exercise for Mental Health with Cognitive Neuroscientist, Justin Verlinden Description: In this episode of the Elevate Yourself podcast, Rob is joined by cognitive neuroscientist, Justin Verlinden, to explore the intersection of sleep, stress, and exercise on mental health. Justin provides valuable insights into how exercise-induced stress impacts the body and how sleep plays a crucial role in helping our bodies recover and recalibrate. Since Justin's last appearance on the show, he's been busy uncovering new findings in his field, and he's excited to share what he's learned. He dives into the science of exercise's effects on stress and how sleep can help us process and recover from it. He also touches on an important question: Does the timing of exercise impact sleep quality, and how does core temperature come into play? As we wrap up the episode, Justin answers rapid-fire questions, giving us a personal peek into his daily routines, insights, and how his thinking has evolved since his last visit. Justin's Bio: Justin Verlinden is a Cognitive Neuroscience PhD Candidate co-mentored by Dr. Lauren Whitehurst and Dr. Jessica Weafer (formerly at University of Kentucky, presently at Ohio State University).

Jimmy Failla, host of Fox Across America and Fox News Saturday Night, joined The Guy Benson Show today fresh off a night at the iconic NYC restaurant Rao's, where he recounted one particular interaction with a famous female singer. Guy and Jimmy then turned to politics and Pete Buttigieg's odd media blitz defending “good government,” despite his Department of Transportation being riddled with inefficiencies. Failla also weighed in on a viral story out of Brown University, where a student is facing backlash for sending a DOGE inspired email questioning what administrators actually do all day.

Tune in here to this Friday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show Chad Adams Filling in!!! Chad Adams, filling in for Brett Winterble today, kicks off the program talking about the Democratic Party's perceived political missteps and reactions to President Trump’s rhetoric. Adams argues that Democrats often react emotionally rather than with a clear governing philosophy, claiming they oppose Trump initiatives out of reflex rather than reason. He criticizes figures like Bernie Sanders and suggests the party is moving away from mainstream positions it once held. Shifting to North Carolina politics, We're joined by North Carolina Representative Charlie Miller, who represents parts of New Hanover and Brunswick Counties.to discuss the tone of the current legislative session under Governor Josh Stein, which Miller says feels more cooperative compared to the more combative atmosphere under former Governor Roy Cooper. Miller notes that while the House is one vote shy of a supermajority, some Democrats have been willing to work across the aisle. He anticipates future tension around hot-button issues like DEI, constitutional carry, and school book review policies, but says for now, cooperation is steady. We're also joined rajesh p. n. rao co-founder and CEO of World Class Health, to discuss his innovative approach to making healthcare more affordable. Rao began his journey in the early 2000s, inspired by the growing crisis of high deductibles and unaffordable care, even for the insured. He co-founded a company that partnered with self-insured employers to offer employees access to high-quality, lower-cost medical procedures abroad. Hospitals in locations like Costa Rica, Mexico, and the Cayman Islands provided care that often exceeded U.S. standards, with lower infection rates and faster recovery times.

Troy Bonde and Winston Alfieri aren't selling your father's ragu. Instead, the 25-year-old co-founders of Sauz,  a bold, culture-forward pasta sauce brand, are reimagining what it means to build a modern CPG company from the ground up. And, it's working. Launched in 2023, Sauz has quickly made a name for itself with an unconventional lineup of jarred sauces, including Hot Honey Marinara, Creamy Calabrian Vodka, Miso Garlic Marinara, and Brown Butter Alfredo. The inventive flavors, combined with a strong brand voice and sharp social presence, have propelled Sauz onto the shelves of over 6,000 stores nationwide, including Whole Foods, Sprouts, Target, Wegmans, Kroger and more. In this episode, Troy and Winston dive into their journey from outsiders to industry disruptors and how a scrappy, solutions-first mindset powers everything they do. They also talk about the intentionality behind their brand's unique digital presence and why their path to being everywhere starts with obsessing over the details. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Troy Bonde & Winston Alfieri, Co-Founders, Sauz - On location at Expo West 2025, lifelong friends and co-founders Troy and Winston share the story of how they used the proceeds from their first stint in entrepreneurship to launch Sauz. They dive into why legacy tomato sauces never resonated with them, recounting late-night kitchen experiments, early sourcing hurdles, and the crucial role a food scientist played in translating wild flavor ideas into scalable products. Troy and Winston also reveal how they convinced skeptical retail buyers that Sauz could deliver true incremental value – and the grind behind cooking sauce for 62 straight days to meet a national Target launch and how saying “I don't know” has opened doors in unexpected ways. From managing brutal supply chain stress tests to deliberately turning down more retailers than they accept, they break down how discipline and focus are fueling smarter growth. They also unpack how a “lazy” social post sparked a viral breakout, how TikTok-native content is resonating with 50+ audiences on Instagram, and their strategy for thoughtful channel expansion into club and mass. Finally, they share the tough lessons learned from retailer rejections—and how their relentless focus on innovation and digital-first brand building is catching the eye of top-tier VCs.

From Cape Town to Bristol and Richmond, statues have become sites of resistance and contestation of our imperial past and postcolonial present. The Psychic Lives of Statues by Rahul Rao offers an insightful exploration of these global controversies, demonstrating that beneath their surface lie deeper struggles over race, caste, and the politics of decolonisation. Rao takes readers on a journey through South Africa, England, the US, Ghana, India, Australia, and Scotland, revealing how statue controversies have dramatically rearranged the canon of anticolonial political thought. By examining these debates through a personal and literary lens, Rao addresses the multifaceted issues of justice, cultural memory, and belonging. The Psychic Lives of Statues (Pluto Press, 2025) examines both the toppling of colonial statues and the raising of postcolonial ones, demonstrating that the statue form as a medium of representation and a bid for immortality is by no means obsolete. Engaging with artists, scholars, and activists, Rao provides fresh perspectives on how societies grapple with and reinterpret the past and present through iconography. About the Author:  Rahul Rao is a Reader in International Political Thought in the School of International Relations at the University of St Andrews, and Professorial Research Associate at SOAS University of London. He is the author of two books – Third World Protest: Between Home and the World (2010) and Out of Time: The Queer Politics of Postcoloniality (2020), both published by Oxford University Press. He is a member of the Radical Philosophy editorial collective. About the Host:  Stuti Roy has recently graduated with an MPhil in Modern South Asian Studies from the University of Oxford.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 13th of March and here are the headlines.Tamil Nadu Replaces Devanagari Rupee Symbol with Tamil Letter in Budget LogoAhead of its budget presentation on March 14, the Tamil Nadu government has replaced the Devanagari rupee symbol with the Tamil rupee letter in its official logo. The logo, featuring the slogan "Ellorkkum Ellaam" (Everything for Everyone), was unveiled by Chief Minister M K Stalin's office on Thursday. A source from the Chief Minister's Office explained that this change prioritizes Tamil over Devanagari. DMK spokesperson Savaranan Annadurai affirmed the decision, emphasizing the importance of promoting Tamil, especially amid ongoing tensions over the Centre's three-language policy.Karnataka Withdraws CID Inquiry on Bengaluru Airport Protocol MishandlingThe Karnataka government has retracted its order for a CID inquiry into alleged police protocol mishandling at Bengaluru airport involving actress Ranya Rao. Rao, arrested for smuggling 14.2 kg of gold, had her travel monitored by protocol officers. The withdrawal followed a parallel order from the Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms (DPAR), which tasked senior IAS officer Gaurav Gupta with investigating misuse of protocol services by senior DGP-rank officer K Ramachandra Rao, who is also Rao's stepfather. The investigation had raised significant political and procedural concerns.SBI Chairman: India Needs 8% Growth for Progress Despite SlowdownChalla Sreenivasulu Setty, Chairman of the State Bank of India (SBI), emphasized that India must target an 8% growth rate for sustainable progress. While the current growth rate of around 6% is a concern, Setty argued that it may be a temporary slowdown and not a reason for alarm. In an interview with The Indian Express, Setty explained that the country's long-term growth story remains intact, highlighting the importance of consumption and private capital expenditure to fuel future economic growth, even amid recent challenges.Sunita Williams' Return to Earth Delayed by SpaceX Launch ScrubNASA astronaut Sunita Williams' long-awaited return to Earth has been delayed after SpaceX scrubbed the launch of a replacement crew to the International Space Station (ISS). Williams and fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore have been stuck in space for nine months aboard Boeing's faulty Starliner. NASA had planned a SpaceX rocket launch from Florida to bring a new crew, which would have allowed Williams and Wilmore to return. However, the launch was delayed due to a hydraulic system issue with the Falcon 9 rocket's ground support clamp arm, NASA confirmed.US Officials to Visit Moscow for Ceasefire Talks Amid Escalating Ukraine ConflictSenior US officials are set to visit Moscow for ceasefire negotiations as Russia ramps up its military activities in Ukraine's Kursk region. The visit follows a meeting in Saudi Arabia where Ukraine agreed to a 30-day ceasefire, shifting pressure onto Russia. US President Donald Trump confirmed the upcoming visit, noting that a "positive message means nothing" without Russia's action. While the White House hasn't confirmed which officials will attend, National Security Secretary Mike Waltz and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff are reportedly part of the delegation heading to Moscow.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by the Indian Express.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain. Today is the 10th of March and here are the headlines.Proceedings in Lok Sabha resumed after being adjourned due to chaos over the PM SHRI scheme. Speaker Om Birla urged MPs to be seated and respect Parliament or face action. Meanwhile, the opposition staged a walk-out in the Rajya Sabha. Tensions are rising between the government and opposition, with concerns over electoral roll manipulation, violence in Manipur, and India's handling of the Trump administration. The government aims to secure Parliament's approval for grants, the Manipur budget, and the Waqf Amendment Bill.A fashion show in Kashmir's Gulmarg has sparked controversy, with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah saying his government had no involvement. The event, held during Ramzan, was criticized by Kashmir's chief cleric, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who called it “outrageous” and “obscene.” Abdullah, responding to the criticism, expressed that the show disrespected local sensitivities during the holy month. The fashion show, organized to mark the 15th anniversary of designer label Shivan & Narresh, took place on snow-covered slopes of Gulmarg on Friday. Kannada actor Ranya Rao, arrested for smuggling 14.2 kg of gold worth Rs 12.56 crore, has links to a land deal in Karnataka. Rao was the majority shareholder of Ksiroda India, a company that received 12 acres of industrial land in Tumakuru from the BJP government in February 2023. Rao, also known as Harshavardini Ranya, was arrested at Bengaluru airport on March 3 by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI). A special court later handed her over to DRI custody for further investigation. Mark Carney, former central banker in Canada and the UK, has won the Liberal Party's leadership race and will replace Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister of Canada. In his victory speech, Carney stated, “America is not Canada,” stressing the differences between the two nations. He criticized the U.S. for its resource-driven ambitions and vowed that Canada would never be part of the U.S. Carney's comments on Canadian sovereignty highlighted his commitment to protecting the country's identity and way of life. Syria's new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, vowed to hunt down Bashar al-Assad loyalists after over 830 civilians were killed in brutal massacres on Syria's west coast. The deaths occurred from Friday to Saturday and targeted Alawite communities. Sharaa, whose rebel group, Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), overthrew Assad's regime in December, promised to hold those responsible for the violence accountable. His speech, broadcast on TV and social media, marked a firm stance against Assad loyalists amid escalating violence in the region.  This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by the Indian Express.

Ever feel like the world just doesn't get what's happening inside your brain? In this episode of the I Have ADHD Podcast, I sit down with my client and colleague Dr. Priyanka Rao, and we dive headfirst into the wild, twisty world of ADHD and autism—especially how it shows up in women.We're talking about the real stuff—like why it's so dang hard to get diagnosed, the silent battles happening behind the scenes, and why neurodiversity-affirming care is a game-changer (spoiler: it's life-changing). Dr. Rao opens up about her late-in-life diagnosis and lets us in on what she wished she knew sooner.Oh, and hormones? Yep, they're in the mix too. We cover how they mess with ADHD, the overlap with autism, and—most importantly—how you can speak up and advocate for yourself during assessments.I also unpack some heavy hitters: perfectionism (ugh), why self-diagnosis is totally valid, and how the mental health field needs to step it up when it comes to cultural competence and understanding neurodivergent brains.This episode is packed with insights, personal stories, and practical tips to help you feel seen, heard, and ready to take on the world (or at least that overdue to-do list).www.ashamh.comwww.asha-coaching.com@ashacoachHit play and let's get into it!Watch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD?
