https://hub.controlandcompound.com/business-masterclass-webinar-replay   Did you know the first $1,400 many Canadians pay in federal taxes goes toward servicing government debt?   Most Canadians hear terms like deficit, debt, and government spending every day, but few understand how those decisions impact mortgages, retirement planning, business owners, and future tax rates.   In this episode of Control and Compound, Darren sits down with Devin Drover of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation to discuss where taxpayer dollars are going, why government deficits matter, the capital gains tax controversy, housing affordability, and what Canada's growing debt could mean for future generations.   Whether you're a business owner, investor, professional, or simply trying to understand Canada's financial future, this conversation breaks down complex issues in a practical and easy-to-understand way.   Topics include: • Government deficits and debt • Capital gains taxes • Taxpayer rights • Housing affordability • Small business competitiveness • Government spending and accountability • Canada's economic future

Welcome multi‑platinum Nashville session drummer, Aksel Coe! Since moving to Nashville in 2018, Aksel has quickly made a name for himself as one of the city's most sought-after session drummers, having recorded on many of today's top country, pop, and indie tracks. Recent recording credits include Ella Langley (ACM Song of the Year 'Choosin' Texas'), Role Model, Holly Humberstone, Zach Bryan, Sierra Ferrell, Willow Avalon, K. Flay, Margo Price, Orville Peck, Sasha Alex Sloan, Cody Jinks, Sam Barber, Wyatt Flores, and Joshua Bassett, among many others. We dive right into Aksel's diverse musical upbringing and his journey from the West Coast to Nashville. Aksel shares invaluable advice and perspective on the home recording process — from creating efficient workflows on and off the drums, when and when not to cheap out on gear, and how to create and effectively market your own sample or loop pack. We discuss avoiding burnout, Nashville's shifting studio landscape, and of course, his acting debut in the 2025 biopic 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.'

Episode Summary The Boys is officially over, and Frank and Thomas dig into a series finale that split the internet right down the middle. They break down why Homelander's fall hits harder than the backlash suggests, where Kimiko's powers felt rushed, and how Butcher's heel turn landed for comic readers versus everyone else, before scoring both the finale and the full 2019 to now run. From there, they jump to the big screen for The Mandalorian and Grogu, a movie they both enjoyed while admitting the plot is paper thin and the whole thing feels like stitched-together episodes. The centerpiece is a long-awaited sit down with Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, who returns as Uncle Iroh in Avatar: The Last Airbender season two on Netflix and plays Captain Carson Teva in the Star Wars universe. He opens up about adapting a beloved animated series, why he avoids the deep lore cuts when building a character, the reckoning Iroh faces in the live-action version, and the everyman appeal of Carson Teva. He also reflects on Kim's Convenience, the season six that never happened, and why he thinks tearing down something new before watching it is a waste of energy. Timestamps and Topics 00:00:00 Intro and Weekly Catch-Up 00:03:52 The Boys Series Finale Review 00:25:27 The Mandalorian and Grogu Review 00:47:01 Interview With Paul Sun-Hyung Lee 01:20:55 Rapid Fire Questions 01:24:06 Network Updates and Weekly Recommendations Key Takeaways The Boys finale earned an 8 out of 10 from both hosts, with the full series landing at a 9, praised for ending on a hopeful note that the good guys can actually win if they stick together. Homelander losing his powers reveals who he always was underneath the facade, a takedown the hosts rank among the best villain endings on TV, even if the way he lost them through Kimiko felt like a quick fix. The Mandalorian and Grogu works as crowd-pleasing, kid-friendly Star Wars but lacks a real character arc, scoring around a 6 to 7 with both hosts feeling it plays like several episodes cut together. Paul Sun-Hyung Lee approaches adaptation by serving the scripts rather than chasing deep lore, and the live action Avatar gives Iroh a real reckoning for his role in the siege of Ba Sing Se that the cartoon glossed over. Carson Teva works because audiences connect with the grounded everyman in a universe full of Jedi, a role compared to Nick Fury, Agent Coulson, and even R2-D2. Kim's Convenience remains a point of deep pride for Lee, who still wishes fans had gotten the Appa and Jung reconciliation from the original play, but stands by going out on top. Quotes "When those were stripped away, he no longer could act like the same person." (Thomas, on Homelander) "The good guys can just straight up win." (Frank, on the finale's message) "We're so specifically Korean that it becomes universal." (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, on Kim's Convenience) "If you don't watch it, you can't talk smack about it." (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, on hating something unseen) "Go out on top if you're going to go out." (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, on ending Kim's Convenience) Call to Action If you enjoyed this one, subscribe so you never miss an episode, leave us a review wherever you listen, and share it with a friend who needs convincing on the finale.

C'è una frase che nessun nutrizionista vorrebbe mai dire ad alta voce: tutti mentono. Non per cattiveria — spesso senza nemmeno saperlo.→ Gli studi sull'auto-reporting alimentare mostrano che le persone sottostimano il proprio introito calorico fino al 50%, convinte di star riportando correttamente: non è menzogna consapevole, è una storia più comoda che il cervello racconta a se stesso prima ancora di arrivare in studio→ Il 40-50% dei pazienti abbandona il percorso dietetico entro 5-6 mesi — non per mancanza di volontà, ma perché il concetto di dieta come costrizione è strutturalmente fallato fin dall'inizio→ Lo sgarro del weekend azzera davvero 5 giorni di dieta perfetta? La risposta è nelle Rapid Fire Questions — ed è secca quanto scomoda→ Il nutrizionista del 2026 con GLP-1, monitoraggio digitale e pazienti sempre più informati: cosa cambierà davvero del mestiere, cosa sopravviverà e cosa invece è già morto senza che ce ne siamo accortiSe hai mai avuto un paziente che giurava di aver seguito tutto alla lettera — o se sei tu quel paziente — questo episodio parla esattamente di te.

In this conversation, Dr. Michelle Weiner shares her evolution from chief resident in interventional pain medicine to pioneering integrative practitioner who treats chronic pain through a biopsychosocial-spiritual lens. Double board-certified in Interventional Pain Medicine, Physical Medicine, and Rehabilitation, Dr. Weiner reveals why traditional procedure-focused approaches often fail chronic pain patients and how she discovered more effective ways to create lasting healing.Dr. Weiner's journey started with her background in nutritional science and athletics, leading her through physical medicine and rehabilitation before specializing in interventional pain. But day after day of performing procedures without truly connecting with patients left her frustrated and seeking deeper solutions. Her introduction to medical cannabis as chair of Florida's advisory committee opened her mind to personalized medicine and treating the whole person rather than just diagnosis codes.You'll hear about her unique approach to fibromyalgia, which she reframes as "central sensitization" to empower rather than limit patients. Dr. Weiner explains how trauma and adverse childhood experiences prime the nervous system for hyperreactivity, leading to chronic pain that becomes centrally mediated rather than structurally based. Her practice now integrates cannabis protocols, ketamine therapy, and comprehensive team-based care to address the root causes of both physical and emotional pain.Dr. Weiner also shares her personal ketamine experience during training, including a profound vision that later manifested in real life, demonstrating the spiritual dimension she now incorporates into treatment. You'll also hear practical insights about building an integrative practice, the importance of set and setting, and why true healing requires addressing the person with the diagnosis, not just the diagnosis itself.What You'll Learn in This Episode· Career transition insights - How Dr. Weiner evolved from high-volume interventional procedures to relationship-based integrative medicine and why she felt traditional approaches were "stringing patients along"· Central sensitization framework - Why she avoids the term "fibromyalgia" and instead explains central sensitization to empower patients and create hope rather than diagnostic limitations· Biopsychosocial-spiritual model - How incorporating the spiritual dimension creates awe-like effects and connections that traditional medicine misses, supported by neuroscience research· Medical cannabis integration - Her role on Florida's Medical Cannabis Advisory Committee and how cannabis opened conversations about personalized medicine and treating individual endocannabinoid systems· Trauma's role in chronic pain - How adverse childhood experiences and physical trauma prime the nervous system for hyperreactivity and chronic pain development· Practice building strategies - Practical advice about insurance credentialing, marketing to other providers, creating therapeutic environments, and building multidisciplinary teams· Set and setting importance - Why the physical environment, staff training, and patient preparation are crucial for maximizing ketamine therapy outcomes· Patient education approaches - How she explains that healing happens during the neuroplastic window after ketamine, not during the infusion itself, and why "more is not better"· Team-based care model - Working with coaches, therapists, and specialists trained in pain reprocessing therapy and somatic approaches to support comprehensive healingEpisode 57 show notes:00:00:00 - Teaser: Heart-Forward Medicine and True Passion 00:00:19 - Introduction and Dr. Weiner's Background Overview00:02:00 - Educational Journey: From Nutrition Science to Pain Medicine 00:05:13 - Colleague Reactions to Non-Traditional Approach00:08:37 - The Pivotal Moment: From Procedures to Purpose 00:11:04 - Cannabis Integration and Personalized Medicine Discovery 00:13:43 - Biopsychosocial Model and Pain Neuroscience Education 00:17:09 - Trauma Patterns and Chronic Pain Development 00:19:54 - Reframing Fibromyalgia as Central Sensitization 00:23:54 - Adding the Spiritual Dimension: Biopsychosocial-Spiritual Model 00:29:07 - Personal Ketamine Experience and Training Story 00:34:22 - Practice Building: From Employee to Business Owner 00:38:18 - Set and Setting: Creating Therapeutic Environments 00:41:48 - Patient Misconceptions and Education Strategies00:47:08 - Rapid Fire Questions: 00:53:55 - Advice to 18-Year-Old Self00:55:34 - Final Thoughts: Pain Complexity and Nervous System Healing 00:56:32 - Contact Information and Practice Locations 00:57:29 - Ending and Show ResourcesConnect with Dr. Weiner at:Website: www.drmichelleweiner.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-weiner-do-mph-276b34b9Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drmichelleweiner/

Inbal Shani (CPO and Head of R&D @ Twilio) deconstructs the transformation of the R&D org at Twilio! We explore the shift from a GM-led model to a unified platform strategy and “why structure must always follow strategy.” Inbal shares her framework for moving from output-focused metrics to input goals, prioritizing “time-to-value,” and the nuances of measuring AI products. We discuss using "R&D roadshows" as a strategic company transformation tool and why engineering leaders must master product positioning. We also dive into mental models for future-proofing your business, from "working backwards" to solve customer problems, to embedding systems thinking into the DNA of your engineering team, and critical questions to identify and optimize decisions around your company's moat.    ABOUT INBAL SHANI As Chief Product Officer, Inbal leads Twilio's R&D organization, encompassing product, engineering, and R&D operations. She is dedicated to driving platform-wide innovation, empowering customers, and delivering transformative, customer-focused solutions.   Unblocked: The context engine your coding agents are missing. Give your coding agents the context your best engineers have. Your agents can read code, but they don't know how your team works. Rules and MCPs give access to information but not understanding. That's why you still have to tell them where to look and what to look for. Unblocked gives your agents the history, conventions, and decisions behind your code so they generate mergeable output without the back and forth. It automatically surfaces the right context for every task, so agents stay on track without the set up tax or the correction loops. getunblocked.com/elc   SHOW NOTES: Catalysts for Twilio's R&D transformation and the shift away from organizational silos (2:49) Strategy Drives Structure: The lightbulb moment at a strategy offsite that demanded structural change to execute vision (5:14) Why structure must follow strategy and creating a "change-constant" culture (7:23) Implementing the “working backwards” methodology and the internal power of the PRFAQ (13:52) Tactical ways to filter customer signals and find real unmet problems versus feature requests (16:35) Shifting from output-focused goals to input goals and prioritizing "Time to Value" (18:35) Using weekly product reviews to align metrics with qualitative customer feedback (21:34) Measuring AI Products: Why AI products require behavior-based measurement instead of traditional binary testing (23:24) Building security by design with layered protection for AI-generated code environments (26:09) Mental models for future-proofing your business by acting as a "fortune teller" for needs (28:45) The R&D Roadshow: Enabling the entire company on new ways of working through storytelling (32:28) Why engineering leaders must master product positioning to bridge the gap to market (38:33) Relatable storytelling: Explaining Twilio's value to your parents to sharpen your pitch (41:47) Rapid Fire Questions (43:14)   LINKS AND RESOURCES How Minds Change: The Surprising Science of Belief, Opinion, and Persuasion - In this lively journey through human psychology, bestselling author and creator of the You Are Not So Smart podcast David McRaney investigates how minds change--and how to change minds.   This episode wouldn't have been possible without the help of our incredible production team: Patrick Gallagher - Producer & Co-Host Jerry Li - Co-Host Noah Olberding - Associate Producer, Audio & Video Editor https://www.linkedin.com/in/noah-olberding/ Dan Overheim - Audio Engineer, Dan's also an avid 3D printer - https://www.bnd3d.com/ Ellie Coggins Angus - Copywriter, Check out her other work at https://elliecoggins.com/about/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We first got to know Jeffrey back in October 2021 (see Episode 3) at a time when he was 'foot on the gas' in his career, playing for multiple artists a week, networking, meeting new friends, and ultimately laying the groundwork for a successful future as a pro-level touring drummer.

Featured Quotes: "If you want to be successful, you've got to separate yourself from the work, and you got to work on your business." — Jeff Dredge "Hindsight is a commodity if that's what you're providing… When you start getting to insight and foresight, you can charge higher fees because there's greater value to what you're providing." — Jeff Dredge "I think more than ever in today's world, we cannot be entrenched. We've got to learn to use these tools." — Jeff Dredge Behind the Story: Jeff Dredge, a CPA and founder of an accounting business, recounts his career trajectory, including the pivotal decision to pursue accounting after being inspired by a mentor's lifestyle. He explains his preference for a smaller firm that offered rapid responsibility and the journey to becoming a partner within five years. The narrative delves into his experience with selling his firm to a private equity group, the anxieties surrounding being "micromanaged," and the eventual realization of greater focus on delivery and strategy.

Playspaces are often dismissed as “nice-to-haves” with their colorful swings, slides, and monkey bars, but KABOOM! was founded on the urgent belief that they are an essential community infrastructure. The organization's origin traces back to a tragic moment when two children lost their lives playing in an abandoned car because there was nowhere safe to play in their neighborhood. That devastating inequity sparked a movement to ensure that where a child lives does not determine whether they have access to safe, joyful play. Today, as KABOOM! celebrates 30 years, the organization has evolved from building individual playgrounds to advancing a data-driven, systems-level strategy to end playspace inequity for good.We invited Lysa Ratliff, CEO of KABOOM!, to talk about why play is a critical investment in children's futures and how meaningful, lasting impact happens when communities shape the solutions themselves. In this episode, Lysa shares how KABOOM!'s co-creation model ensures that playgrounds are designed with kids and neighbors, not simply delivered to them, leading to deeper stewardship and significantly higher usage. She also explores how collective action by residents, municipal leaders, and corporate partners helps scale long-term transformation. And importantly, she highlights the environmental and public health dimensions embedded in today's playground design. At its core, this work makes clear that designing for children is one of the most powerful strategies for shaping stronger communities and a more equitable future.Listen for insights on:Co-creating with residents for lasting neighborhood ownershipBuilding cross-sector partnerships that endureEmbedding climate resilience into community infrastructure Watch this episode on YouTube!Resources + Links:Lysa Ratliff's LinkedInWhat Is Playspace InequityThe City of Uvalde and KABOOM!

In this eye-opening episode, host Ashish Kothari sits down with positive psychology expert Llewellyn van Zyl to confront the double-edged sword of Artificial Intelligence. As AI shifts from a productivity tool to a source of "psychological support," we explore the thin line between technology that empowers us and technology that erodes our core human faculties. Whether you are a business leader, a mental health professional, or a curious tech user, this conversation matters because it defines the exact moment we must choose to remain the architects of our own flourishing before the algorithms do it for us.Main Topics CoveredHyperpersonalization vs. Scaling: How AI can provide granular, 1:1 care at a global scale.The "Friendship" Trap: A look at the ethical fallout when users become emotionally addicted to empathic AI models.Substitution vs. Support: The critical distinction between tools that help us grow and those that make our cognitive "muscles" atrophy.The Erosion of Agency: Why outsourcing our reasoning to AI might lead to a loss of autonomy and critical thinking.The AI-IARA Framework: An introduction to Llewellyn's model for psychologically safe AI design (Awareness, Interpretation, Intention, Action, Relational Agency, and Autonomy).The Future of the Psychology Profession: Why practitioners must learn the language of engineers to remain relevant.The AI and Future of Well-being Summit: A preview of the upcoming global gathering of experts.Key TakeawaysSkills are Muscles: When we outsource basic tasks like writing, spelling, or reasoning to AI, we don't just save time—we physically lose the cognitive capacity to perform those skills through "frictionless" living.Guard Against Engagement-Only Models: Much like social media, AI systems optimized for "eyeballs" rather than "impact" risk creating dependency and addiction rather than genuine flourishing.Demand Technological Humility: It is vital for professionals to admit what they don't know about AI to prevent harm and ensure that human-centric values are built into the "behavioral architecture" of new tools.Prioritize Agency: True well-being is the ability to write your own life story.

Step into Episode 201 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Riley, Director of Pickleball, and Casey, General Manager of Dink & Dine — a brand-new pickleball-anchored eatertainment facility that's rewriting what a night out looks like in the Valley. Four months in and sitting at a 4.9-star rating with over 110 fully organic reviews, this isn't a pickleball gym with a menu tacked on — it's something entirely different.Casey and Riley bring serious depth to this conversation. Casey went from cutting his teeth in Old Town Scottsdale's nightlife prime and graduating Scottsdale Culinary to spending 12 years growing through every level of Main Event — all the way to GM for all three Arizona locations and Regional Director covering Phoenix, Albuquerque, Denver, and Baton Rouge — before landing the opportunity to build something from the ground up with a team of hospitality consultants who asked, "Why don't we just start our own thing?" Riley's road ran through a painful divorce, a transformational pickleball flow state, a coaching company she built from scratch, overseas pickleball yacht trips, the PPA and App Tour, and even designing the world's first floating pickleball court in Croatia — before LinkedIn brought her to a facility she calls the nicest she's ever walked into. Together, they unpack four core values, the kitchen philosophy of Chef Kelly Milani, and why doing both pickleball and food at a truly high level is harder than anyone realizes — and exactly what makes Dink & Dine worth the visit.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 2:38) Intro: Episode 201, Delo's 52nd Birthday & Welcome to Casey and Smiley Riley(2:39 - 6:14) Casey's Origin: New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina, Scottsdale Culinary & Old Town Nightlife(6:15 - 8:10) Main Event to Dink & Dine: 12 Years, Regional Director & The Founding Team(8:11 - 12:33) 4.9 Stars, Organic Reviews, Hospitality Philosophy & Four Core Values(12:34 - 15:23) Riley's Story: From Divorce Court to the Pickleball Court & Finding Flow State(15:24 - 19:15) PPA Tour, Floating Court in Croatia & What It Means to Be Director of Pickleball(19:16 - 20:30) Bridging the Gap: High-Level Pickleball AND High-Level Food — Neither an Afterthought(20:31 - 37:00) Chef Kelly Milani, Kitchen Philosophy, Menu Highlights, Programming & Corporate Events(37:01 - 45:47) Rapid Fire Questions, Best Menu Items & How to Connect with Dink & Dine
