Recess was the highlight of the day when we were kids but here's the thing: In life, too much recess means we're missing the real purpose. Distracts are like an endless recess pulling us away from what really matters. This week, it's time to put down the distractions, refocus, and get back to the mission God has for us. Let's stop wasting time and start making it count.
P.E. or Recess...One of them has to go. Based on your experience, which one is it?
On the Salcedo Storm Podcast:Travis Morgan covers legal issues for the Texas Scorecard.
What if the decline in childhood mental health, self-regulation, and academic engagement could be traced back to a missing piece of the school day? In this powerful and passionate episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with the founding team of Say Yes to Recess, a grassroots movement turned national nonprofit fighting for more play, more time outside, and more humanity in our schools. With just 22 minutes of average daily recess—and many kids getting even less—this conversation peels back the layers of how educational priorities have shifted dangerously away from the needs of the whole child. The team shares how they went from frustrated parents to successful policy changemakers and how you can start a chapter in your own state. This is the rallying cry. Recess is not a break from learning—it is learning. Movement builds brains. Free play teaches the life skills that Fortune 500 CEOs are begging for. And the best part? Kids want to do it. Say Yes to Recess is leading the charge, and this episode shows you why the time to act is now. Visit sayyestorecess.com to learn more, donate, or launch a chapter in your state.

I had a great time talking with Bridget Shirvell about her new book Parenting in a Climate Crisis; A Handbook for Turning Fear into Action - I may have gotten a little excited when she was talking about the contents of the book, knowing there was a chapter about activism... Bridget is a freelance writer, and has done pieces for Martha Stewart and PBS, Conde Nast and New York Times, and others about food, travel and the environment. Having her own young child inspired her to write the book, to prepare young people to take on the world that we leave, by teaching the love of nature.From her website: "In this urgent parenting guide, learn how to navigate the uncertainty of the climate crisis and keep your kids informed, accountable, and hopeful–with simple actions you can take as a family to help the earth.Kids today are experiencing the climate crisis firsthand. Camp canceled because of wildfire smoke. Favorite beaches closed due to erosion. Recess held indoors due to extreme heat. How do parents help their children make sense of it all?

Episode 4673: The 3 R's For Victory Recess, Rescission, And Redistricting
The rollercoaster of medical school transitions is hitting some peaks, from the first nerve-wracking days of clerkships to the unglamorous realities of OB-GYN rotations. M3 Elvire Nguepnang, M2 Gizzy Lundquist, M3 Jeff Goddard, and M1 Katherine Yu open up about the leap from textbooks to patient care, beginning advanced clerkships, and just staying on the path—and why it's okay to feel a little lost. Along the way, they share their experiences with delivering placentas, unpack how seemingly minor lessons from preclinical years suddenly become crucial in the real world, and the new sensory ability they'd choose if they could.

Jack Shannon is the Co-founder and CEO of Recess, a brand activation platform for top consumer brands, like PepsiCo, General Mills, and Milk Bar. With over 15 years of experience scaling innovative marketing solutions, he and his partner have scaled Recess from the ground up. Jack is also an investor in Venvee and Editframe. In this episode… As retail media networks proliferate and demand more brand dollars, many companies struggle to identify which channels deliver results beyond the major platforms like Amazon and Walmart. With hundreds of fragmented options, it's increasingly difficult to measure ROI, target consumers, and justify media spend. How can brands identify a scalable, performance-driven alternative that bridges physical and digital touchpoints? Experiential marketer and media strategist Jack Shannon advises brands to leverage performance-driven sampling and targeted real-world applications. This includes using mobile data to reach high-density shopper audiences in environments like gyms, schools, and apartment communities — places where people are naturally engaged. By blending audience targeting, digital amplification, and measurement tools like store lift analysis and loyalty data integration, experiential marketing can drive bottom-funnel metrics and long-term customer loyalty. In this episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant sits down with Jack Shannon, Co-founder and CEO of Recess, to discuss measuring and scaling experiential marketing. Jack talks about sampling as a form of performance media, how social amplification and real-world data drive meaningful outcomes, and how to reach offline audiences.

Members of Congress are on their way home as we speak, for basically a month long recess, which is known in Congressional speak as a district work period. I want to make sure you have everything you need to take full advantage of this significant opportunity, while you have them right there, easily accessible to you home in the district. And I know. I hear you. You could be forgiven for thinking that you don't want to see another member of Congress for as long as you live, given how they've been behaving as a body lately. But whoever you've got representing you, they're who you've got right now. Even if we're displeased with them or frustrated with them, we still need to engage them. We still need them doing as much as possible on behalf of the people we serve and the work that we do. The good news is that your chances of highly successful engagement go way up when they're home in the district or state – if you know how to leverage the three best ways to engage them. In this episode, we share:How members of Congress operate differently when they're home, and how that creates exceptional opportunities for engagementThe unique advantages offered by a strategically designed program visitHow to create a powerful engagement experience at your program, that is strategically designed to produce resultsThe boring, but essential action you need to take immediately to ensure your successHow to leverage the unique features of town hall meetings for maximum impactWhat NOT to do with your messaging in a town hall settingHow to create empowering and successful opportunities for your clients, volunteers and supporters to be involved in engaging your members of Congress at homeLink: Episode 31 – How to Get Maximum Results from a Decisionmaker's Visit to Your Program

While the Epstein files scandal explodes and unfinished business piles up, Speaker Mike Johnson just sprinted for the exits—slamming the gavel on an early summer recess before anyone could say “roll call.” Congress didn't just adjourn; it staged a getaway, ducking the cameras and dodging the receipts.Jojo from Jerz grabs the megaphone and sits down with Congressman Jim Himes to drag everything into the July sunlight: Who's really winning when the People's House turns into the People's Airbnb? Why is “governance” optional when the headlines get too hot? And does Johnson seriously think democracy just pauses itself for a vacation?They torch the vanishing act that left critical crises in limbo, break down the art of hiding from hard votes, and lay out exactly why the rest of us should be demanding more than out-of-office messages and way fewer empty Chambers.Subscribe and Follow Jo:https://linktr.ee/jojofromjerz Hosted on Acast.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into President Trump urging the Senate to cancel its summer recess, Democrats in Minnesota endorsing a socialist for mayor of Minneapolis, and Hunter Biden's blistering attack on high-profile Democrats.First, they welcome President Trump's call for Senate Majority Leader John Thune to scrap the Senate's August recess so Republicans can push through dozens of judicial and executive nominations. They highlight how Democrats are using procedural tactics to stall confirmations and delay Trump's personnel and judicial selections from taking office.Next, they react to Minnesota Democrats formally endorsing socialist State Sen. Omar Fateh in the Minneapolis mayoral race. Fateh supports defunding the police and the Mamdani approach to "affordable" housing. Greg suggests Democrats have no problem with socialists, unless they're worried those socialists might lose. Jim says there doesn't seem to be anything that's too far left for more and more Democrats.Finally, they go through Hunter Biden's profanity-laced podcast interviews, in which he rips the Democrats who encouraged and forced his dad to abandon his re-election bid. Hunter Biden took aim at Nancy Pelosi and her daughter, George Clooney, James Carville, David Axelrod, Jake Tapper, the Pod Save America guys and more. They point out that a decent amount of what Hunter said was true but he's the worst possible person to deliver the message.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your skincare routine with Caldera Lab and see the difference.

Looking 4 Healing Radio with Dr. Angelina Farella – Where are all the kids during the beautiful spring and summer days? THEY ARE INDOORS! They are not outside playing with other kids directly; they are online playing games together, but in the ‘safety' of their own home, usually their bedroom, for hours and hours on end. Recess has been cut considerably, and so has physical education. Why? Are our kids really any SAFER?
Speaker Mike Johnson's decision to halt a vote on the Epstein documents resolution until after the August recess reeks of calculated obstruction. After initially posturing as someone open to transparency, Johnson pulled the plug the moment bipartisan momentum began building. His excuse—that Republicans should allow the administration space to act—is a transparent smokescreen. What he really did was take the one mechanism Congress had to demand accountability and neutralize it with a procedural timeout, shielding powerful interests from public scrutiny under the guise of calendar logistics.This wasn't about timing—it was about shielding. With bipartisan pressure mounting and the public overwhelmingly demanding the release of Epstein's records, Johnson didn't just pump the brakes—he pulled the entire emergency lever. Rather than allow a debate that might force uncomfortable truths into the light, he chose to grind the House to a halt. He suspended votes, sidelined committees, and essentially shut the door on any chance of real legislative movement. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Johnson shuts door on House vote before September on releasing Epstein files | CNN Politics

How future doctors are navigating social media's impact on public education. How can a well-meaning medfluencer be sure they're actually helping? M1 Zach Grissom, M2 Fallon Jung, M3 Jeff Goddard, and M4 Matt Engelken sit down with third-year DO student Nik Bletnitsky to discuss the role of social media in medical education. Current and Future doctors are increasingly using these platforms to share medical knowledge—but, even if you're careful to offer the best information, what are the hidden dangers? The conversation covers the sometimes blurry line between education, misinformation, and contradicting someone's doctor's advice. How disclaimers work (or don't), and why the Dunning-Kruger effect can turn a curious patient into an overconfident self-diagnoser. Should doctors be influencers? Can patients trust what they see online? And is it possible to make medical knowledge accessible without accidentally making things worse?

Turning down that med school acceptance might cost more than you think. Listener “my initials are ARM” got into medical school—cue the confetti—but now that reality's set in, she's not feeling great about her only acceptance. The school is small, expensive, and far from home. Should she go anyway or risk reapplying in hopes of a better fit next year? MD/PhD students Michael Arrington, Shruthi Kondaboina, Jessica Smith, and M1 Maria Schapfel weigh the real costs of walking away from an acceptance, from the red flags admissions committees look for to the gamble of getting in again.

Changing careers is never easy—especially when it means leaving behind a high-paying, high-prestige profession to start something entirely new. But for our guest on Episode 202 of the Child Care Genius Podcast, it was a decision fueled by purpose. Mayosha Mendis, a former cancer researcher and EPA scientist, made the bold leap into early childhood education after becoming a mom—and realizing the kind of care she wanted for her own daughter simply didn't exist. Tune in to this episode as Brian and Carol sit down with Mayosha to explore her inspiring journey from the science lab to the preschool classroom. You'll hear how her early experiences as a parent shaped her vision, why her center had a waitlist within just six months, and how she's now building an expanded program complete with a gourmet kitchen, outdoor learning spaces, and a curriculum designed to nourish both mind and body. Listen in as Mayosha opens up about the challenges of ownership—what she wishes more child care providers understood about financials, why thinking like a business owner is essential, and how being part of the Childcare Genius University coaching program helped her fast-track success and avoid costly missteps. If you've ever questioned whether you're cut out for this, or wondered if it's possible to lead with both heart and business sense, Mayosha's story is one you need to hear. She's proof that even with a completely different background, you can learn the ropes, face the challenges, and build something truly meaningful—one step, one lesson, and one big dream at a time.

Have you ever asked yourself: What do artists have to learn from the octopus? Maybe not—but the question is at the heart of the work of Miriam Simun, who currently has an exhibition about her Institute for Transhumanist Cephalopod Evolution at the art space Recess in Brooklyn. And it turns out the answer is mind-expanding. Almost literally. Simun's unusual art practice can be seen as part of a serious trend in recent years of artists exploring non-human thought of all kinds in the hopes of shifting our troubled relationship to the natural world. The centerpiece of Simun's show at Recess is a series of workshops titled “How to Become an Octopus (and sometime squid).” For these, the artist guides participants through a two-hour program of “psycho-physical” exercises she has developed over many years through collaborations with marine biologists, engineers, dancers, and synchronized swimmers. She's taught the method all over the world, and the description says the classes are “open to anyone curious about cephalopods, new ways of sensing, and expanding the definition of self”—an audience which included me. Art Critic Ben Davis got in there to explore his cephalopod side, and for this week's Art Angle, he talks about Simun's art and what he took away from his experience in her workshop.
