#906. Brianna LaPaglia is back on the pod — and 2025 treated her like the full-on rollercoaster it was. In this episode, she's spilling everything: the fear, the growth, the career pivots, the solo adventures, and all the stuff she's never had the chance to fully explain. We talk the iconic Tarte Turks & Caicos trip, surviving Special Forces (and yes, the pain, sweat, and chaos that came with it), saying goodbye to BFFs and saying hello again to PlanBri Uncut, learning to be alone for the first time in forever, and the kind of self-discovery that hits differently when you've been through a lot. Plus, she's giving us the real talk on dating, life lessons, and what she's bringing into 2026!

Is the supernatural power seen in the New Testament still available to us today? Can the human heart truly be satisfied by Jesus alone? What does it mean to be "married to Christ”?Dr. Mary Healy—a professor of Biblical Theology and a consecrated woman—joins the podcast to share her radical journey of faith. The conversation also dives deep into the charismatic spiritual gifts, such as healing, prophecy, and tongues, which Dr. Healy argues are "normal" for the Christian life rather than extraordinary rarities.NEW: Check out our Merch store! https://shop.lilaroseshow.com/Join our new Patreon community! https://patreon.com/lilaroseshow - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

The Father Hoods crew spins back with a legendary throwback, this time linking up with Steve Rifkind and his sons, Alex and RyRif, for the first-ever father-sons episode! They dive deep into growing up in hip hop royalty—Steve breaks down his early days in the game and how he built bridges with Wu-Tang Clan, while Alex shares how he juggled basketball and music, inspired by his dad's grind. RyRif keeps it real about growing up with a busy, big-time dad and learning to navigate life in the spotlight. The conversation hits both heart and hustle: Steve reveals which son mirrors him and who's the calm one, Alex spills why he pivoted from hoops to running his own label, and they talk the balance between business and family. Steve keeps it authentic, sharing how he never censored music around the kids, leading to hilarious throwback moments like Alex's “Like A Pimp” memory. They also dive into relaunching Loud Music Group, RyRif's impact on the project, and how lessons flowed both ways between father and sons. Oh, and RyRif's single “Run It Up”? Funkmaster Flex already blessed it with bombs on debut. Real talk, family vibes, and hip hop legacy all in one episode.

Let me start with a disclaimer—this isn't a political editorial. It's a conversation about ideas. Lessons from business, design, culture, and philosophy that might help us grow—individually and collectively. And if you disagree, email me at ConvoByDesign@Outlook.com. I welcome the debate. As this year closes, I'm feeling a mix of frustration and optimism. This moment feels chaotic—as does most of life lately—which is why I often end the show with, “rise above the chaos.” We can't eliminate it, but we can manage what's within our control. The Stoics told us that long ago: focus on what you can control, release what you can't, act with virtue, and let obstacles sharpen resilience. This essay is about taking back even a small amount of control through the work we do and the spaces we shape. The Problem with Trend-Driven Design This year, phrases and hashtags flew faster than ever—Quiet Luxury, Brat Green, Fridgescaping, Millennial Grey. Much like the “big, beautiful bill” language we've all heard tossed around in political discourse, design's buzzwords can distract from what actually matters. They generate attention, not meaning. They look good on social media, not necessarily in the lived experience of a home, workplace, or public square. So instead of centering our design conversations around fleeting edits, let's pivot toward the global innovations that are transforming the built world in ways that truly matter. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Design Hardware – A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home! TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep Real Innovation Worth Talking About Across the globe, designers, architects, and researchers are developing ideas that transcend buzz. These are the concepts with longevity—the ones shaping smart, resilient, human-centered spaces: Biophilic Design, rooted in the work of Edward O. Wilson, Erich Fromm, and Japanese shinrin-yoku, continues to reframe our relationship with nature. Net-Zero Architecture, pioneered in Canada, Germany, and Australia, redefines building performance through projects like Seattle's Bullitt Center and Colorado's RMI Innovation Center. Smart Homes and Invisible Tech, building on early Asian innovation, hiding circuitry and functionality behind seamless design powered by Apple, Google, and Amazon ecosystems. Prefab and Modular Construction, originally exemplified by structures like the Crystal Palace and the Sydney Opera House, now reimagined by firms such as Plant Prefab. Passive House Design, born in Germany but rapidly shaping U.S. projects in California, New York, and the Pacific Northwest. And the list goes on: Self-Healing Concrete by Hendrik Marius Jonkers Guggenheim Abu Dhabi by Frank Gehry Bët-bi Museum in Senegal by Mariam Issoufou Powerhouse Parramatta in Australia Pujiang Viewing Platform in China by MVRDV Landscape and biophilic approaches—Wabi-Sabi gardening, edimental gardens, climate-adaptive landscapes, and indoor biophilia—are redefining how we engage with natural systems in daily life. Even infrastructure has become a site of innovation: CopenHill/Amager Bakke, Denmark's waste-to-energy plant with a ski slope Urban Sequoias by SOM—skyscrapers designed as carbon sinks 3D-printed timber in Germany, Finland, and France This is the work that deserves our attention—not the color of the week on TikTok. Rethinking the Shelter Space For years I described architecture as a language, design as a dialect, and landscape as the narrative. Mies van der Rohe famously introduced the concept of architecture as language. It caught on, and then the bandwagon effect took over. But today, the metaphor feels insufficient—especially for the shelter space, where people spend their lives, raise families, work, heal, and age. The shelter space isn't like a retail store or restaurant, where design is often intended for those who pass through briefly while the people who labor there navigate the leftover space. The shelter space must serve those who inhabit it deeply and continuously. And that shifts the conversation. Design begins with the usual questions—purpose, function, users, goals, budget. But these questions don't define design. They only outline it. There is no universal purpose of architecture or design, no single philosophy, no singular “right” answer. The shelter space varies as widely as the people living within it. So instead of treating architecture and design as technical processes, we should approach them philosophically. A Philosophical Framework for Design Stoicism offers clarity: Accept that budget overruns and changes will occur. Respect the expertise of the designer you hired. Invest in authenticity rather than dupes. Create environments that support health—clean air, clean water, noise reduction, resilience. Utilitarianism reminds us that choices have consequences. If the design decisions you make are based on influencer content instead of expertise, the result is no surprise. And now, a new framework is emerging that could transform our shared spaces entirely. Sensorial Urbanism: Designing the City We Actually Feel One of the most compelling movements emerging globally is Sensorial Urbanism—a shift from focusing on how the city looks to how it feels. It's neuroscience, phenomenology, and inclusive design rolled into a multi-sensory toolkit. Five Key Sensory Principles Soundscaping Water features masking traffic. Acoustic pavilions. Designed sound gardens. Paris' Le Cylindre Sonore. Soundscape parks in Barcelona and Berlin. Smellscaping Native flowers, herbs, and aromatic trees restoring identity—especially critical after disasters like wildfires. Kate McLean's smellwalks map a city's olfactory signature. Tactile Design Materials that invite touch and respond to temperature—stone, wood, water—connecting inhabitants to place. Visual Quietness Reducing signage and visual clutter, as seen in Drachten, Netherlands, creates calmer, more intuitive environments. Multisensory Inclusivity Design that accommodates neurodiversity, PTSD, aging, and accessibility through tactile paving, sound buffers, and scent markers. Why It Matters Because cities didn't always feel this overwhelming. Because design wasn't always rushed. Because quality of life shouldn't be compromised for aesthetics. Sensorial Urbanism reconnects us with spaces that are restorative, intuitive, and emotionally resonant. A city is not just a picture—it is an experience. The Takeaway for 2026 Rising Above the Chaos: Lessons from 2025 for a Smarter 2026 HED (3-sentence summary): As 2025 closes, the design and architecture world has experienced unprecedented chaos and rapid trend cycles. In this episode, Soundman reflects on lessons from business, culture, and global innovation, emphasizing resilience, purposeful design, and human-centered spaces. From Stoic philosophy to sensorial urbanism, this conversation offers guidance for navigating the next year with clarity and intentionality. DEK (Expanded description): Twenty twenty-five tested the design industry's patience, creativity, and adaptability. In this reflective episode, we explore the pitfalls of trend-driven design, the enduring value of service, and the innovations shaping architecture globally — from net-zero buildings to multisensory urbanism. With examples ranging from TimberTech decking to Pacific Sales' trade programs, we examine how designers can reclaim control, prioritize meaningful work, and create spaces that heal, inspire, and endure. A philosophical lens, practical insights, and actionable guidance make this a must-listen for professionals and enthusiasts alike. Outline of Show Topics: Introduction & Context Reflection on the chaotic year of 2025 in design and architecture. Disclaimer: this is a philosophical conversation, not a political editorial. Invitation for audience engagement via email. Trends vs. Meaningful Design Critique of buzzwords like “quiet luxury” and “millennial gray bookshelf wealth.” Emphasis on global innovation over social media-driven trends. The gap between American design influence and international innovation. Global Innovations in Architecture & Design Biophilic design and its philosophical roots. Net-zero buildings: Bullitt Center (Seattle), RMI Innovation Center (Colorado). Smart homes, modular construction, and passive house adoption in the U.S. vs. abroad. Focus on Service & Professional Support Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home: Pro Rewards program and exceptional service. TimberTech: innovation in sustainable synthetic decking. Importance of performance, durability, and client-focused solutions. Philosophical Approach to Design Architecture as experience, not just a visual language. Stoicism, utilitarianism, and mindfulness applied to design. Sensorial urbanism: engaging all five senses in public and private spaces. Emerging Global Examples of Innovation Self-healing concrete (Henrik Marius Junkers), Copenhill (Denmark). 3D printed timber in Germany, Finland, France. Climate-adaptive landscapes, Wabi-sabi gardening, inclusive urban design. Moving Beyond Social Media Trends Rejecting influencer-driven design priorities. Returning to performance, resilience, and quality of life. Practical guidance for designers in all regions, including overlooked U.S. markets. Closing Reflections & New Year Outlook Encouragement to rise above chaos and focus on what can be controlled. Goals for 2026: intentional, human-centered, and innovative design.

In this post-Christmas edition of Talking Real Money, Don McDonald and Tom Cock dismantle one of the most seductive myths in personal finance: the promise of high returns, no risk, and tax-free income. Using the lawsuit filed by Kyle Busch against Pacific Life as a case study, they expose the dark mechanics of indexed universal life insurance—hidden commissions, opaque costs, fabricated indexes, and returns that quietly disappoint. The episode then pivots to listener questions on diversification mistakes, Roth vs. traditional 401(k)s, late-career pivots into financial advice, ETF selection for retirees, and why doing less with your portfolio almost always beats doing more. 0:04 Post-Christmas welcome, Kyle Busch jokes, and why rich people get fleeced too 1:18 Indexed Universal Life explained (and why it's not an investment) 1:45 The “bank on yourself” fantasy and why it never dies 2:27 $10.5 million in premiums and promises of $800K tax-free income 3:20 Why IULs avoid SEC and FINRA scrutiny entirely 4:21 The sixth premium notice that blew up the deal 4:41 How IULs implode if you stop paying—and why everything can vanish 5:52 “Tax-free income, high returns, no risk” exposed as marketing fiction 6:01 Hidden commissions, alleged 35% payouts, and zero disclosure 7:37 Proprietary indexes designed to benefit insurers, not investors 8:50 Internal Pacific Life doc: “Don't call yourself a financial planner” 9:57 Why consumers can't see costs, commissions, or real returns 11:37 Real-world IUL returns: roughly 3–5% annually 12:23 Why even Kyle Busch doesn't actually need life insurance 13:44 Caveat emptor—and why “Life” in the firm name should trigger alarms 14:03 Listener portfolio question: 60/15/25 isn't diversified 14:53 The S&P 500 isn't “the market” (and seven stocks prove it) 15:54 Simple global solutions vs. portfolio over-engineering 17:11 Podcast tech humor and March seminar tease 17:22 Listener praise—and teaching people how to find podcasts 18:11 2026 seminar date confirmed: March 7 19:23 Career pivot at 53: CFP vs. AFC vs. Series 65 22:02 Why fiduciary firms are hiring—and sales shops are traps 23:22 ETF selection for retirees: growth, risk, and tax efficiency 24:27 Why Morningstar confuses more than it helps 25:07 Dimensional, Avantis, and keeping portfolios simple 26:20 Final thoughts, free fiduciary consults, and year-end wrap Learn more about your ad choices.

CEO, president, and founder of the Clinician Burnout Foundation Jodie Green and physician advocate and physical therapist Kim Downey discuss their article "Why wellness programs fail health care." Jodie and Kim explain why traditional wellness initiatives often add to the burden rather than relieving it for exhausted medical professionals. They introduce the concept of the quicksand effect where meaningful help becomes impossible to grasp amidst systemic failure and advocate for immediate practical support like transportation and child care. The conversation covers alarming statistics regarding physician suicide and nurse safety in the U.S. while addressing the critical difference between burnout and moral injury.

As I prayed about today podcast episode, I sensed God saying to me that there would be people listening today that are ready for their lives to change. In fact they would be desperate to change. Main Points:1. Some of you here today need to hear a word from God.  And what he wants to tell you is that he wants to change you.  The Christian life is fundamentally a changed life.  His change is not something that you can simply do by yourself.  It's going to take the power of God in your life and it's going to require you to cooperate with God.2. Change begins with a relationship with Jesus Christ.  In that moment we are changed, but we continue to change.3. How does change happen?  When we are in Christ!  We struggle because we focus on externals instead of the internals.  We are looking at changing our behavior.  God wants to change our hearts.  Real and lasting change begins on the inside!  Once we place our faith in Christ, he begins to work on the inside.  We began a process of inner renewal. It can only occur through the surrender of our lives to God.Today's Scripture Verses:2 Corinthians 5:17 – “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!”1 Peter 5:5 – “God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Can you believe this is the final episode of 2025? It feels surreal to be closing out another year of the City Girl Savings Podcast—211 episodes of financial education, mindset shifts, and real conversations about building the life you want through better money management. If you've been tuning in all year…whether this is your very first episode or you've listened to all 50+ episodes released in 2025…I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Truly. Your support, your listens, your shares, your reviews, your messages about how an episode changed your perspective... they all mean the world to me and the entire CGS team. This podcast started back in January 2022 as a way for me to share what I've learned about money, mindset, goal-setting, and creating the life you want on your own terms. Over the past four years, it's grown into such a powerful space for women to learn, grow, take ownership of their financial futures, and realize they're not alone in their money struggles. As we close out another incredible year, I've been reflecting deeply on what 2025 has taught me—not just as a money coach working with clients every week, but as a woman navigating her own financial journey, personal growth, health challenges, business evolution, and life transitions. So in today's final episode of the year, I'm sharing five powerful money lessons that 2025 taught us, along with practical ways to apply each one in 2026 so you can reach brand-new levels in your financial journey. And because I'm passionate about the transformation that happens when you have support and guidance, I'm also sharing how working with a money coach can help you implement these lessons with clarity and confidence. Grab a notebook, open your Notes app, or get ready to screenshot some key takeaways, because these five lessons are the perfect foundation for the new year ahead.   Here's What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why discipline beats motivation for lasting financial results The role of mindset in determining your money success or struggles How financial systems create freedom instead of restriction Building accountability through money coaching and support systems Real client success stories: credit score increases, debt payoff, mindset shifts The power of imperfect action over waiting for perfect conditions   The Perfect Year-End Reflection: After 211 episodes and countless client transformations, these five lessons represent the most powerful shifts that create lasting financial change. Whether you crushed 2025 or struggled through it, these insights will help you enter 2026 with clarity, confidence, and a concrete plan for growth.   Here's a glance at this episode: [02:29] Discipline Over Motivation: Why the hard days make the biggest difference in your financial progress. [05:10] Mindset Transformation: How money coaching rewires your relationship with money, confidence, and self-worth. [09:27] Systems Create Freedom: How financial organization eliminates stress and creates lasting peace with money. [11:56] Progress Over Perfection: Why waiting for the "perfect time" keeps you stuck and how to take imperfect action.

The next big thing isn't always your next big thing.

You can feel it — that quiet ache telling you something has to change. As this year comes to a close, you may find yourself standing at an edge. Tired of circling the same patterns. Tired of doing everything "right" and still feeling stuck. This moment isn't a failure. It's the space between who you've been and who you're becoming — uncomfortable, uncertain, and deeply meaningful. Real transformation doesn't come from vision boards, affirmations, or wanting things badly enough. Change only happens when desire is matched with different choices and different actions. When we stop performing growth and start participating in our own lives. When we tell the truth about where we're abandoning ourselves, crossing our own boundaries, or waiting for feelings to change before we act. This episode is an invitation to step out of waiting and into responsibility — not as punishment, but as freedom. To stop postponing your life for the right moment and begin choosing yourself now. This isn't about resolutions. It's about reclamation: of your voice, your energy, your truth, and your right to live with intention instead of autopilot. What we explore: Why wanting change isn't enough The illusion of manifestation without action How boundaries reveal where change actually begins The cost of self-abandonment and people-pleasing What it means to stop performing and start participating Why discomfort is often the doorway to freedom If you're ready to move beyond surface-level change and reconnect with the part of you that's been quietly waiting, I invite you to join my free five-day experience Reignite Your Spark at http://www.nancylevin.com/spark  Connect with me: Newsletternancylevin.comInstagramFacebook  

Looking back with gratitude and looking ahead with hope isn’t about pretending life is easy—it’s about trusting God in the middle of the hard parts. This devotional reframes familiar promises by reminding us that God often speaks hope into uncomfortable, uncertain seasons. Real faith isn’t polished or pain-free; it’s forged when we choose trust, gratitude, and hope even when circumstances feel unresolved. Highlights A comfortable life isn’t the norm for God’s people—Scripture consistently shows faith growing through hardship. We often celebrate biblical victories while overlooking the suffering that shaped them. God’s promises are frequently given in seasons of waiting, captivity, or uncertainty—not ease. Hope and faith are spiritual disciplines that require intentional choice, not feelings. Gratitude helps us recognize God’s faithfulness in the present, even when the future feels unclear. Trusting God’s character allows us to move forward with confidence, not fear. Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: Looking Back with Gratitude, Looking Ahead with HopeBy: Peyton Garland Bible Reading:“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) Christianity is always easier when it’s comfortable, right? When there’s no church drama, your marriage isn’t bumpy, or the children aren’t in a rebellious season. When everyone’s health is clear, the savings account is full, and the boss is flexible. But when are all of these life avenues simultaneously smooth? When is life ever not life—the chaos, the calamity, the confusion? When we read Scripture, did any of God’s people have it easy? Moses didn’t, Esther didn’t, David didn’t, and Jesus certainly didn’t. I believe that our pursuit of a comfortable life is the reason we gravitate towards certain Bible verses and willingly cut out the remaining context. We don’t mind discussing when Moses parted the waters, when Esther was crowned Queen, when David defeated Goliath, and when Jesus resurrected. But we too easily neglect when Moses died in the wilderness, when Esther risked her life for her people, when David’s sin caught up with him, and when Jesus was nailed to a cross to carry the sins of an ungrateful world. Jeremiah 29:11 is another perfect example of our desperate pursuit to polish the Christian experience. Glancing at this isolated verse, you could argue for an easy-going prosperity gospel. But Jeremiah 29:14 reveals that God’s people receive this promise in captivity. They aren’t comfortable but desperate. Their hope is wary, waning. So what do they make of a promise that seems impossible? They choose hope. They choose faith. Hope and faith aren’t easy. They certainly aren’t comfortable because they require us to practice what we don’t want to and to believe in what we don’t feel. Hope and faith are rarely instinctual. That’s what makes them spiritual disciplines. So if your heart is heavy and tumultuous, if your life has been plagued with the worst twists and turns, you are in the perfect position to welcome hope and faith into your new year. God promises us a beautiful future on the other side of hard times, but we will never appreciate, let alone recognize, His blessings if we don’t choose to pursue God’s hope and faith in our challenging circumstances. To cultivate hope and faith is to invite God to change your perspective. It’s a chance to become more like Christ in both His suffering and His glory (Romans 8:17). In my book Tired, Hungry, & Kinda Faithful, I dig into this idea a bit deeper: Allow God to root his purpose in your soul in a land where you once believed growth impossible… Perhaps it is time to pledge allegiance to a God we are still wary of, and in that process—no matter how wild and scary and challenging—we learn to love him in a gentler, surer way. This way grasps the good kind of love that he designed in the first place—even if Love never promises to stop the hard times but invites us to thrive amid them. And from such a purifying journey, perhaps we will genuinely love others, and deep down, we will come to call our desert a well of hope. It’s natural to create barriers to block God out when it seems the Christian life offers little reprieve for our minds, bodies, and souls. However, how can we ever have true hope, faith, and even joy if we shun the very source of these things? How will we appreciate the opportunities that wait for us in the future if we don’t adopt a heart of gratitude for God’s providence, grace, mercy, and sovereignty in the present, no matter our circumstances? Embrace a heart of thankfulness for the God who grants us hope and faith, and surrender your longing for the shallow, smooth-sailing life that offers little sustenance for the soul. Step into this new year confident in the character of a God whose goodness never wavers and whose promises are always sure. Intersecing Faith & Life:Make a list of the relationships or opportunities where you haven’t left room for God to work. Have you boxed God out because of past disappointments or because you think you can handle things on your own? How does this shape (or even manipulate) your definition of hope and faith? Ask God to rid you of any false notions you have regarding hope and faith, and allow Him room to work in your life to cultivate the beautiful future He has in store.

Visit https://teachhoops.com/  for coaching resources, practice planning tools, and player development strategies that help you create a culture where every athlete can grow in confidence and reach their potential on the court. In this episode, we explore one of the most important yet challenging aspects of coaching: inspiring authentic confidence in your players without creating false bravado or entitlement. Real confidence isn't built through empty praise or participation trophies—it's earned through mastery, small wins, preparation, and a coach who believes in their players while holding them to high standards. We discuss the delicate balance between pushing players outside their comfort zones and protecting their belief in themselves, especially when working with athletes who have experienced repeated failure or come from difficult backgrounds. You'll learn specific coaching language that builds players up without lying to them, how to celebrate process improvements alongside results, and why confidence is often a byproduct of competence rather than something you can talk into existence. We explore strategies for helping anxious players perform under pressure, rebuilding confidence in athletes going through slumps, and giving different types of players—stars, role players, and bench contributors—the specific affirmation they need to believe in their value to the team. This episode provides practical frameworks for creating confidence-building moments in practice: designing drills where players experience success, using film sessions to highlight growth, structuring playing time decisions that communicate trust, and leveraging leadership opportunities that empower athletes. We also address common mistakes coaches make that accidentally undermine confidence—like inconsistent feedback, comparing players negatively to each other, or making playing time feel arbitrary. Whether you're coaching a talented player paralyzed by perfectionism or a hardworking athlete who doesn't believe they belong on the court, you'll gain tangible strategies to help every player discover their confidence and express it through fearless, competitive basketball. building player confidence, coaching confidence basketball, inspiring basketball players, player self-belief coaching, confidence building drills, basketball player development, positive coaching methods, athlete mental confidence, basketball motivation techniques, overcoming player doubt, coaching anxious athletes, confidence through competence, player empowerment basketball, building self-esteem athletes, basketball coaching psychology, encouraging basketball players, slump recovery basketball, fearless basketball playing, coaching language confidence, player affirmation strategies, basketball culture building, trust-based coaching, growth mindset basketball, confidence under pressure, player belief systems, basketball coaching communication, athlete encouragement methods, developing confident players, Wisconsin basketball coaching, mental game basketball SEO Keywords: Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Nicholas Adkins, founder of Pink Socks Life, to unpack a simple but high impact idea. Show up with love and kindness in each now. Nick shares how a pair of knee high pink socks turned into an organic global kindness movement. From healthcare conferences to everyday moments on a bus or in a grocery line, the core message stays the same. Real connection beats nonstop connectivity. You will also hear a practical reset for caregivers and high performers who pour into everyone else. Start with self love. Then use small human moments to build the muscle of compassion, presence, and empathy. About the Guest: Nicholas Adkins is the founder of Pink Socks Life, a nonprofit based in Portland, Oregon. He is also the author of Pink Socks. How a Pair of Socks Became a Symbol of Love and Connection. Over 300,000 pairs of pink socks have been gifted worldwide as a signal for belonging, kindness, and human connection. Key Takeaways: Pink Socks Life started as a simple conference strategy. Gift fun pink socks. Start conversations. Build real relationships that scale into community. The “movement” became organic when strangers in places like the Netherlands and Wales sourced pink socks to support health causes and connection. “Heartspeak” is what happens when you slow down, look someone in the eyes, and make space for their story with empathy and no judgment. Connection is different from connectivity. Phones, apps, and social platforms are tools. Real connection is presence, listening, and shared humanity. Kindness is not soft. It is operational leadership. One sincere conversation can shift a room, a workplace culture, or a hospital hallway. Love and fear show up in every moment. You choose. Love looks like compassion, patience, forgiveness, and cooperation. Fear looks like anger and shame. The real gift is not the socks. The real gift is holding space for another human, especially when they are carrying grief or struggle. If you are great at caring for others but bad at caring for yourself, start with one micro habit. Give yourself grace. Then practice love in low stakes moments. End of day reflection builds self awareness. Where did I choose love today. Where did I miss it. What will I try in the next now.

We all learn through experience, but there are moments where observation can save us time, energy, and unnecessary struggle if we are willing to pay attention and reflect honestly.I share why this kind of learning requires humility, curiosity, and perspective. We never have the full context of someone else's situation, but we can still notice patterns, outcomes, and decisions that either move people closer to what they want or farther away from it. The goal is not judgment. The goal is awareness.This conversation also moves into how we treat others when they are going through difficult seasons. If we are honest, most people are carrying something, even when it is not visible. I explain why leading with kindness, compassion, and grace matters just as much as being honest and direct. This applies to how we treat others and how we treat ourselves.From there, I connect this idea to the inside/out approach I teach through fitness and beyond. Too many people have spent years tying their worth to their body, their progress, or how they look in the mirror. Real sustainability starts when you connect with yourself, respect your preferences, and build habits you can actually live with long term.If you want to stop bumping your head into the same lessons, build awareness through observation, and create a calmer and more aligned way of living, this episode will give you plenty to reflect on.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Is Bitcoin's cycle really 1064 days? Well a lot of analysts say so… GUESS WHAT THEY ARE WRONG! We break down the REAL cycle and give a prediction on when the end might come in 2026.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Mike Bakon to explore the fascinating intersection of hardware hacking, blockchain technology, and decentralized systems. Their conversation spans from Mike's childhood fascination with taking apart electronics in 1980s Poland to his current work with ESP32 microcontrollers, LoRa mesh networks, and Cardano blockchain development. They discuss the technical differences between UTXO and account-based blockchains, the challenges of true decentralization versus hybrid systems, and how AI tools are changing the development landscape. Mike shares his vision for incentivizing mesh networks through blockchain technology and explains why he believes mass adoption of decentralized systems will come through abstraction rather than technical education. The discussion also touches on the potential for creating new internet infrastructure using ad hoc mesh networks and the importance of maintaining truly decentralized, permissionless systems in an increasingly surveilled world. You can find Mike in Twitter as @anothervariable.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Introduction to Hardware and Early Experiences02:59 The Evolution of AI in Hardware Development05:56 Decentralization and Blockchain Technology09:02 Understanding UTXO vs Account-Based Blockchains11:59 Smart Contracts and Their Functionality14:58 The Importance of Decentralization in Blockchain17:59 The Process of Data Verification in Blockchain20:48 The Future of Blockchain and Its Applications34:38 Decentralization and Trustless Systems37:42 Mainstream Adoption of Blockchain39:58 The Role of Currency in Blockchain43:27 Interoperability vs Bridging in Blockchain47:27 Exploring Mesh Networks and LoRa Technology01:00:25 The Future of AI and DecentralizationKey Insights1. Hardware curiosity drives innovation from childhood - Mike's journey into hardware began as a child in 1980s Poland, where he would disassemble toys like battery-powered cars to understand how they worked. This natural curiosity about taking things apart and understanding their inner workings laid the foundation for his later expertise in microcontrollers like the ESP32 and his deep understanding of both hardware and software integration.2. AI as a research companion, not a replacement for coding - Mike uses AI and LLMs primarily as research tools and coding companions rather than letting them write entire applications. He finds them invaluable for getting quick answers to coding problems, analyzing Git repositories, and avoiding the need to search through Stack Overflow, but maintains anxiety when AI writes whole functions, preferring to understand and write his own code.3. Blockchain decentralization requires trustless consensus verification - The fundamental difference between blockchain databases and traditional databases lies in the consensus process that data must go through before being recorded. Unlike centralized systems where one entity controls data validation, blockchains require hundreds of nodes to verify each block through trustless consensus mechanisms, ensuring data integrity without relying on any single authority.4. UTXO vs account-based blockchains have fundamentally different architectures - Cardano uses an extended UTXO model (like Bitcoin but with smart contracts) where transactions consume existing UTXOs and create new ones, keeping the ledger lean. Ethereum uses account-based ledgers that store persistent state, leading to much larger data requirements over time and making it increasingly difficult for individuals to sync and maintain full nodes independently.5. True interoperability differs fundamentally from bridging - Real blockchain interoperability means being able to send assets directly between different blockchains (like sending ADA to a Bitcoin wallet) without intermediaries. This is possible between UTXO-based chains like Cardano and Bitcoin. Bridges, in contrast, require centralized entities to listen for transactions on one chain and trigger corresponding actions on another, introducing centralization risks.6. Mesh networks need economic incentives for sustainable infrastructure - While technologies like LoRa and Meshtastic enable impressive decentralized communication networks, the challenge lies in incentivizing people to maintain the hardware infrastructure. Mike sees potential in combining blockchain-based rewards (like earning ADA for running mesh network nodes) with existing decentralized communication protocols to create self-sustaining networks.7. Mass adoption comes through abstraction, not education - Rather than trying to educate everyone about blockchain technology, mass adoption will happen when developers can build applications on decentralized infrastructure that users interact with seamlessly, without needing to understand the underlying blockchain mechanics. Users should be able to benefit from decentralization through well-designed interfaces that abstract away the complexity of wallets, addresses, and consensus mechanisms.

Real time information centers are quickly becoming the connective tissue between technology and patrol, pulling together tools like drones as first responders, automated license plate readers, fixed-camera networks, CAD and intelligence platforms to turn incoming data into decisions officers can use in the moment. The result is a shift from reactive updates to proactive situational awareness, with centers helping agencies track suspects without high-risk pursuits, tighten response decisions and support broader public safety missions. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley talks with Nikki Bell, RTIC manager with the Vacaville Police Department, and Andrea Cortez, RTIC manager with the Elk Grove Police Department. Bell brings 25 years in public safety, including early experience as a single-seat dispatcher in Dutch Harbor, Alaska, that shaped her focus on resourcefulness, operational empathy and “many hats” staffing. Cortez draws from an intelligence analysis background, applying the collect, vet, analyze, disseminate and feedback cycle to refine what the center pushes out. Both also help lead broader collaboration through the California RTIC Work Group and the National Real Time Crime Center Association (NRTCCA), sharing lessons learned on staffing, training, technology and community trust. About our sponsor Flock Safety works with more than 5,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide, delivering real-time intelligence through a holistic ecosystem of technology designed to keep officers safe, reduce crime, and build stronger communities. And if you're looking for real stories from the front lines — how your peers are using these tools to shape the future of safety in their cities — tune in to Flock's “Real Time Policing” podcast, with new episodes dropping on Wednesdays.
