Podcasts about redirecting

Someone tells you to move money out of the joint account. Someone else says stop depositing your paycheck. Your attorney raises temporary orders. Each piece of advice may sound reasonable on its own — but divorce decisions rarely stand alone. In this episode of We Chat Divorce, Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan break down why making major financial decisions based on one conversation, one professional's limited view, or someone else's divorce experience can backfire — and how to evaluate advice against your complete financial picture instead. They walk through three common situations that deserve a closer look before you act: Moving money out of a joint account — what expenses are paid from it, what has to be disclosed later, and how credibility comes into play Redirecting your paycheck to a separate account — the household cash flow domino effect, and a real client story where one-off advice cost a spouse 65% of the couple's cash Temporary orders — how they shape the financial patterns and expectations that follow, and why you need organized financial information before deciding Plus: why giving your spouse a heads-up before a necessary financial move can protect your credibility, your negotiation, and your long-term outcome. IMPORTANT: If there is abuse, danger, coercive control, or an immediate financial emergency, taking protective action and getting appropriate professional help comes first — always. 4 TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE Good decisions are supported by coordinated information, not isolated answers. Ask whether additional financial information could change a recommendation. Ask how one proposed action might affect the rest of the marital estate. You don't need to solve the entire divorce in one day — understand the next decision and how it connects to everything else.

Alzheimer's can make yesterday disappear, but it can also make love get very specific, very fast. I'm talking with Dan Phillips from the Georgia Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, and his story hits on every level: a grandmother diagnosed, a career pivot into advocacy, and then the brutal reality that multiple people he loves are living with the disease. We keep it real about what families actually face, including denial, confusion, and those moments when you realize you're hearing heartbreaking news for the “first time” over and over again.We break down what “redirecting” really means in dementia caregiving and why picking your battles isn't giving up, it's protecting someone's nervous system. Dan shares how humor can be a lifeline, from a perfectly timed joke to what we call the “lie of love,” the kind, creative story that calms fear when the truth would only reopen the wound. We also talk caregiver stress, why caregivers can go down first, and why getting help doesn't mean you love your person any less. Sometimes it's the only way to get back to mother-daughter time instead of patient-caregiver time.Then we zoom out to hope and action: early warning signs people miss, why early diagnosis matters more than ever, and how Alzheimer's research is changing fast, including biomarker blood tests and treatments that can slow progression for some. Dan also explains the Alzheimer's Association's Do What You Love program, where dinner parties, pickleball, golf, church cookouts, and community events turn into funding for research, care, and support.If this conversation makes you feel seen, share it with someone who's carrying this quietly.

Welcome to Uptime Spotlight, shining light on wind energy’s brightest innovators. This is the progress powering tomorrow Allen Hall: Nicholas, welcome back to the podcast.  Nicholas Gaudern: Thanks, Allen. Great to be back.  Allen Hall: So there’s a lot going on at Power Curve, and I saw some news online about Power Curve in India.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yes.  Allen Hall: Which is a new development.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah, so we’ve been working in India for, for some years now, and we have, uh, more than 100 turbines out there with our equipment on, primarily vortex generators so far. And what we’re seeing in India is some of the highest AEP gains we’ve ever recorded with our vortex generators And I think a lot of this is being driven by the fact that in certain parts of India, there’s some very unique, uh, environmental conditions, climatic conditions, and there’s parts of the year, like the dry season up in [00:01:00] the north of India, where you’re getting this very sticky dirt accumulating on the blades. And it’s really quite dramatic when you see the photographs, but that means that the blades are actually starting to, to stall, have flow separation on them.  Allen Hall: I’ve seen pictures of that. Yeah. I was really shocked at the time, uh, ’cause I didn’t know it was just kind of a black, gooey- Yeah … kind of tar-like substance- Yeah, yeah on the blades, and, uh, it, it was only on there a limited time. As soon as the monsoons come through and the rains hit, it would wash, eventually wash it off. Yes. But while it’s there, you could see the airflow over the blade surfaces. You, you could definitely see separation happening really early on those blades. Dramatic.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah, absolutely, and I think the, um… Like you say, it’s not all year. No. But it doesn’t have to be all year to have a huge impact on, on how many, you know, megawatt hours you’re getting out the other end. So there’s a few months of the year where this problem is particularly severe, maybe sort of December through to February, something like that. And what we’re finding is that when you see, uh, the power curves for these [00:02:00] turbines, some of them aren’t even hitting rated power. They’re not able to hit rated power because there’s so much flow separation on the blades.  Allen Hall: Wow.  Nicholas Gaudern: And that, I mean, just imagine that. You’ve got a two megawatt turbine, for example. Maybe it doesn’t cast- get past 1.5 megawatts for this, uh, time of the year. I mean, that’s crazy.  Allen Hall: Does the turbine try to adjust itself when that happens? Because the pictures I s- have seen indicates, like, the turbine is pitching the blades to, ’cause it knows- It can- …  Nicholas Gaudern: what the wind  Allen Hall: speed is- I mean, yeah … and it knows what it should be putting out, and it’s not putting that out. Nicholas Gaudern: It’s very turbine specific, kind of controller logic specific, but what we see is even the turbines that try to do something, they’re very limited in how much pitch authority they have from the controller. They might be able to just do a little bit, a degree. Okay. Two degrees. You know, very, very small pitch adjustments. And when you have this kind of dirt on the leading edges, a degree of pitch ain’t gonna save you really. Um- N-  Allen Hall: no. And I think that’s what we’re seeing. And it’s not gonna get that power back. No, no.  Nicholas Gaudern: No.  Allen Hall: But does it add extra load onto the blade structurally over [00:03:00] time when you do that?  Nicholas Gaudern: In terms of the pitching, or-  Allen Hall: Yeah, in terms of the pitching, where you’re trying to be more aggressive on the angle of attack to get the power out of the turbine. Potentially. And the winds are still pretty strong, you just, the blades are inefficient.  Nicholas Gaudern: I think it’s one of those things where there’s, there’s so many interconnected items with the dirt and the controller and the structure. It’s actually pretty difficult, I think, to say with confidence how much life impact you would have from that. But what I would say is the more that you might end up trying to pitch, if that’s what’s going on on some machines, that obviously puts wear on the pitch bearings themselves. But yeah, I think at the moment we’re kind of at the beginning of really trying to understand how some of these turbines do deal with this phenomenon. But what we’re trying to do is get to a point where the turbine doesn’t really have to deal with it. Because if you fix the problem at the source, which is stop the flow separating, then the controller doesn’t really have to, to worry. It doesn’t have to try to, to fix it itself.  Allen Hall: Yeah. That makes a lot more sense. Just the number of images I’ve seen over the last couple years from India-  Nicholas Gaudern: [00:04:00] Yep …  Allen Hall: you realize how difficult it is to operate a wind turbine there.  Nicholas Gaudern: So even when we, um, have this issue for a few months that we’re resolving with the VGs, we can still be seeing over the whole year more than 5% increases in annual energy production. Because those months are really important. Um ‘ Allen Hall: Cause that’s when they need the  Nicholas Gaudern: power. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. For sure. And this is primarily coming from the vortex generators towards the tips of the blades. So that’s where you’re having this, uh, heavy contamination issue, and that’s where all the power would be produced. So kind of the outer third of a blade is 50, maybe 60% of the power production of a turbine, maybe closer to 50. So that means that if you have a problem out there, it’s, it’s a big problem in terms of your annual energy production. So-  Allen Hall: Right …  Nicholas Gaudern: the VGs are, what they’re doing is they are, they’re injecting energy back into the flow. Allen Hall: Redirecting the flow, in a  Nicholas Gaudern: sense. So, so basically you have all this contamination on the leading edge. It’s generating more turbulence. The flow isn’t able to retain, uh, remain attached [00:05:00] across the entire chord length. So the VGs are putting energy back into the flow and allowing it to remain attached all the way to, uh, to the trailing edge. Allen Hall: So even with the blades are dirty-  Nicholas Gaudern: Yes …  Allen Hall: you get that power out- Exactly … put, that you really desire or-  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah …  Allen Hall: are paying for. Yeah. You, you paid a lot of money for that turbine- Yeah, exactly … you need to get the power out of it.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah.  Allen Hall: And-  Nicholas Gaudern: So of course, you know, that suggests that if you had a, a super clean blade, you went and pressure washed it, uh, you would get, uh, an increase in power as well, and that’s true. You, you- That’s true … you will do. But that’s a one-time thing. Um, so- And  Allen Hall: it’s expensive to do- Yeah … and time-consuming.  Nicholas Gaudern: Exactly. Maybe a few days later, the dirt’s back. So- Sure … you know, it’s not really a sustainable thing for you to be going out washing these blades the whole time. And washing the blades may not be great for the surface of the blade either. So, you know, a VG is just sat there the whole time. It doesn’t matter if it’s dirt, bugs, erosion, frost, it’ll recover those losses that, that you’re seeing.  Allen Hall: Do the VG installations in a situation like that, [00:06:00] the actual location differ because of the contaminants that are present and the kind of, uh, leading edge effects that you’re seeing? Do you design it for that environment? Or- Yeah … is every- Oh, you do. So- Yeah, we  Nicholas Gaudern: do. I mean, typ- typically our, our VG arrays are turbine model specific. But in India, we’re finding we’re actually having to be more site specific as well. Oh,  Allen Hall: wow.  Nicholas Gaudern: Because some of this contamination is so severe, we’ve seen that we need to design the VG layout a little bit differently to make sure that we’re giving enough, uh, energy recovery potential when you have these really severe, uh, situations. Allen Hall: Are you using the AeroVista tool to do that? How do you, how do you quantify the contamination that’s happened on the leading edge at a particular moment or roughly on scale a- and then try to model that? That just seems like a difficult computation.  Nicholas Gaudern: It is. And, um, you know, we’re, we’re getting better all the time. AeroVista is definitely part of that. So AeroVista’s primary function really is to look at, um- [00:07:00] AEP losses due to structural damages, things like erosion. But actually, erosion behaves very similar to dirt when it comes to, like- It, right … aerodynamic behavior. Yeah. So we can actually use kind of the AeroVista engine to help us understand what is the loss from different levels of contamination. So we can add contamination levels into AeroVista, as well as, uh, erosion. And we can start to look at, well, what happens if the blade looks like this? What if it looks like this? And then this gets combined with our computational fluid dynamics, our CFD models that we’re running, three-dimensional, two-dimensional. We sometimes do some aeroelastic modeling as well. So we basically have a big toolbox, and like with any engineering problem, it’s about picking the best tool for the job. So we just go in, and we have all these great tools, and we, we put them together in a workflow that allows us to design the, the best solution for each site that we look at. Allen Hall: And it’s not India-specific in terms of leading-edge contamination. No. I’ve seen pictures from the US, Brazil, um, [00:08:00] Australia, a number of places where there’s just bugs. Yeah. Right? Those, especially in places where there’s large bugs- Yes. … you kind of get this splatter effect going on. Yeah. And you can have a really contaminated blade surface. In the US, in the middle of the US, you’ll have grasshopper season, and-  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah, absolutely …  Allen Hall: tho- those grasshoppers are big, and they splatter. And they leave a disaster. We’ve seen  Nicholas Gaudern: that in, uh, in the Midwest, for sure. Oh, yeah. Some really, really severe contamination from bugs.  Allen Hall: And you, you don’t think about, as an engineer or a site supervisor, that- All right. This sort of, uh, grasshopper season that happens is affecting my AEP, but 100% it is. And that stuff is gooey, so if you ever drive through the Midwest in the summertime- … you run through, uh, any kind of insect swarm and try to get it off your vehicle. Yeah. It takes some scrubbing.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah. It re- it really does. And imagine when you’ve gotta go up there for, like, 100-meter diameter rotor.  Allen Hall: Right. ‘ Nicholas Gaudern: Cause that’s quite a challenge. So I think, yeah, they have all these challenges, uh, in terms of environmental conditions, and a lot of people consider aerodynamic [00:09:00] behavior blades quite binary. Either the blade is clean or the blade is dir- Or it’s dirty or it’s dirty. Right. But it’s this entire spectrum. It’s everything in between, and I think that is kind of a little bit of a different way of thinking about the problem. And then it makes the argument around why to put VGs there kind of, uh, easy to, to answer, because the blade is never really truly clean. Allen Hall: No. I… Unless it’s right after a rainstorm- Yeah … I rarely see clean blades. Okay, so the … If VGs are going on, are you using the DragonScale VGs to solve some of the India problems, some of the contamination problems?  Nicholas Gaudern: So DragonScale’s not in India yet. That’s something that we’re looking at. So we, um, we got all the tooling finished for DragonScale some months ago now, and we’re shipping DragonScale kits. Uh- Oh, wow. Okay … not, not to India yet, but they are out in, in the field, and we’re gonna be having some more out just in the next couple of weeks, actually, which is quite exciting. We’re doing our first project, um, in Canada.  Allen Hall: Oh.  Nicholas Gaudern: So we’re starting to kinda come across the, the pond with the VGs now, [00:10:00] with the DragonScale VGs. Allen Hall: So the DragonScales, uh, uh, uh, thank you for bringing a, a sample here today, but the, the DragonScales are really interesting in terms of just the way the airfoil shapes are and how they’re s- kinda stacked and layered- Yeah … and there’s different depths to them, heights to them, to get the flow back where you want it to. Yeah. And it, I guess it depends on where you are on the blade. If you’re near the root, they’re gonna look something like this. Exactly. Yep. If you’re getting near the tip, they’re  Nicholas Gaudern: much  Allen Hall: smaller- Yeah, we have some smaller ones. Yep … scale, scale of this. So- This then, the Dragon Scales do require a little bit of computational knowledge of what’s going on- Yep with the blade. And as you say, they- You just can’t willy-nilly stick  Nicholas Gaudern: them on … they’re, they’re quite different. You know, they’re quite different from a standard triangle of VG.  Allen Hall: Right.  Nicholas Gaudern: And, you know, there’s lots of ways that you can create a vortex aerodynamically. And triangles- Sure … create a vortex, sure, but they, they really create one through a process of separation. Yeah. You have a flow hitting this, this plate that’s angled to the flow. It’s rolling over the top, and it’s tripping into a, into a vortex. But that’s quite a draggy way [00:11:00] of- It is … creating a vortex. Yes. Um, so VGs work. We’ve seen that. You know, we have more than 2,000 turbines now with VGs, so we, we know they work. Yeah. But Dragon Scale, the whole idea is not that we … This is still a VG. It’s still creating a vortex. Sure. But it’s doing it in a much more efficient manner, so we get the same lift recovery benefits, lift boosting benefits, but at a much lower drag. So we have a better drag ratio. ‘Cause it’s the drag, right? Allen Hall: It’s the drag. The little triangular-  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah …  Allen Hall: vortex generators are draggy.  Nicholas Gaudern: So anything you stick on a blade, it, it has a drag. It has a parasitic drag component. Um, they have a huge benefit that outweighs that. That’s why we put them on.  Allen Hall: Yeah.  Nicholas Gaudern: But of course, you can always do better. And I think here we really try to take inspiration from, from lots of the aerodynamic developments we’ve seen over the past decades in aviation and motorsport and, and these other disciplines. Allen Hall: Right. I always say these look like a Formula One  Nicholas Gaudern: add-on. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. A bigger blade. Or maybe some front slats of a aircraft or some, uh, gas turbine cascading elements- Oh, sure.  Allen Hall: Yeah …  Nicholas Gaudern: these  Allen Hall: kind of things. Yeah.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah.  Allen Hall: Gas turbine people would easily recognize this. Yeah, [00:12:00] I  Nicholas Gaudern: think so.  Allen Hall: Uh, so the, the Dragon Scales then in terms of, uh, the location of them on the blade, would it differ than the triangular VGs in terms of generic location? A, a  Nicholas Gaudern: little bit, but broadly it’s the same because- Okay … you know, ultimately the fundamental physics of what we’re trying to do hasn’t changed.  Allen Hall: Sure.  Nicholas Gaudern: Um, so we’re kind of, we’re addressing the same areas of the blade. But the Dragon Scale gives us a bit more flexibility. We can have these three fin versions that create a very powerful vortex, so we find those down in the root, ’cause that’s where we just want as much lift as possible. Right.  Allen Hall: Yeah. Right.  Nicholas Gaudern: Uh, but out at the tip we actually have a two fin variant. Oh. Because there we’re, we’re more focused on L over D. We wanna maximize our lift-to-drag ratio.  Allen Hall: Sure.  Nicholas Gaudern: Because that’s where the drag really hurts you, out towards the tip.  Allen Hall: So are they in a strip form then? Yes. Very similar to the triangular VGs? Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah, exactly. So the, the smaller ones on the strip, just because they’re only, like, five millimeters high.  Allen Hall: Yeah. They wanna  Nicholas Gaudern: see more- So otherwise it’s, it’s kind of watchmaking if they’re individual- … little pieces, uh, going down on the blade. O-  Allen Hall: okay. Yeah. Well, that’s fascinating. All right. Uh, I wanna talk about [00:13:00] Silent Edge before I, I lose you today. The Silent Edge product has been out in the field- Mm-hmm … and there has been some noise testing done, which I always think is very interesting because I’ve- Yeah … I’ve watched videos from, mostly from DTU, explaining how they do this, where they got the microphones around. And like- Yes … wow, that’s a really complicated test to go pull off. But you just got through a series of these-  Nicholas Gaudern: We did …  Allen Hall: noise tests with Silent Edge. And you have the results back.  Nicholas Gaudern: We do, yeah. I mean, it was a really exciting, um, test program, and we were partnered together with, uh, Statkraft, who very kindly lent us a few of their wind turbines up in Sweden. Uh, and we are working with the Danish Technical University, DTU Wind, to help with the measurements and actually figure out what’s going out on the turbine. So this was a project that we were, um, able to secure some funding from, from the Danish, uh, EUDP. So that’s the Energi [00:14:00] Teknologisk Udviklings- og Demonstrationsprogram.  Allen Hall: Right.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah. Nothing to do with the EU. It’s a very, it’s a Danish thing. Danish, yeah. But there is EU in the name. Right. Um, so they supported this project with Statkraft and DTU, and what we found is that when we put a Silent Edge on a, uh, it was like a two, two and a half megawatt machine, it had no serrations before. Okay.  Allen Hall: So we measured- So just a out of the factory blade.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah, exactly, and it was in good condition. It had had a recent repair campaign, so the blade was in, in good shape. And then what we did, uh, or what DTU did, is they went out and they measured the noise of this turbine according to the IEC standard. So there’s an IEC standard on how you should measure noise and what microphones to use and how to post-process it, and then we installed the Silent Edge serrations. And firstly, before we’d even done any measurements, we had people out at site, and they, they live out there. They’re the technicians. They see these- Okay turbines every day, and they went, “What, what have you, what have you done to, to this turbine?” Because it sounded so different. It sounded much [00:15:00]quieter. The, the quality of the sound was very different, and they just, they just stepped out the car and went, “Wow.” “This is, this is really impressive.” Um-  Allen Hall: So what, give me a description of what the sound is. I know generally, when you come with a standard blade, it has that kind of shoop, shoop-  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah, exactly … shoop. It basically just really brings down that perceived loudness of the sound, so it’s just a m- it’s a much quieter sound, and we’re also taking out quite a lot of low frequency component.  Allen Hall: Okay.  Nicholas Gaudern: That’s what- These serrations are really targeting the lower frequencies, so kind of around the kilohertz and, and under. Allen Hall: Mm.  Nicholas Gaudern: That’s where these things are really starting to bring down the, um, the decibels.  Allen Hall: This- So, okay. So Silent Edge is, uh, sort of a unique design, or is a unique design i- in terms of the- What you see on the typical trailing edge, which are a bunch of triangles or dino tails, right? Yes, dino tails. Yes,  Nicholas Gaudern: yeah. Allen Hall: Dino tails is, was the generic term for years, and they looked like dino tails, so, so it’s a good description- Yeah … of them. But these more, look more like a cathedral in  Nicholas Gaudern: a sense. Yeah, these, these are quite different though. So we have kind of this iron-shaped, uh, tooth fundamentally, [00:16:00] but we have three different tooth sizes, uh, and they’re asymmetric. Allen Hall: Mm.  Nicholas Gaudern: And I would love to come here and tell you that we know exactly how this works. Um, but I can’t unfortunately, and, and that’s just how it is sometimes with engineering. We cannot simulate this in the detail required to really understand exactly why each geometric feature does what it does. And if someone claims they can do that, then, then I may be a bit suspicious. Or, or I’d really like to talk to them, one of the two. Um, but that means that to develop this kind of product successfully, you have to go to the wind tunnel. Okay. Because the simulation is so demanding. So we go to the wind tunnel. We spent a lot of time in the Paul Ricard wind tunnel at DTU, so we can measure aerodynamics and acoustics at the same time And we went with lots of components and 3D prints, and we iterated through design paths, and we came up with this, I think it’s a really wonderful shape we’ve ended up with. And it was proven out in the field because the final result was we reduced the overall sound [00:17:00] pressure level of the turbine by five decibels. And that is- Whoa … that is huge.  Allen Hall: That’s a lot.  Nicholas Gaudern: So in terms of, like, perceived, uh, loudness of the sound, that’s like a 30% reduction. So this is why the, the technicians who st- stepped out the car heard such a difference, because it’s a massive reduction in, in what the turbine produces. So  Allen Hall: you’re lowering the decibels coming off the, the trailing edge. Yeah. But also moving around the frequencies so it’s a little less-  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah, so a lot of that- … uh- That… So the- …  Allen Hall: noticeable  Nicholas Gaudern: also … the five decibels, that’s, that’s this OASP, or we call it overall sound pressure level. This is an integration of all of the reductions we see across the frequency spectrum. Oh,  Allen Hall: okay.  Nicholas Gaudern: All right. So we’re getting more reduction at lower frequencies. Right. Good. There’s also some high frequencies. But the lower frequencies matter more. So what we do when we’re doing acoustic measurement is we A-weight, we, we weight the, the noise because it relates to how the human ear perceives sound. Allen Hall: Sure.  Nicholas Gaudern: So it matters more to you, the one [00:18:00] kilohertz frequency than the 20 kilz- kilohertz frequency.  Allen Hall: Yeah. Can’t hear  Nicholas Gaudern: 20 kilohertz. E- exactly. So that’s right at the upper end. So we weight the results, and this is part of the ICE standard, to understand how the human ear perceives the sound.  Allen Hall: Oh, wow. Okay.  Nicholas Gaudern: Um, and this is where we get our, our five decibels  Allen Hall: from. So this, this was really an iterative process then- Yeah … in the DT laboratory. Yeah. Ooh, wow. I didn’t realize that. Mm-mm. I, I figured you had gotten relatively close by computational methods and then- We- … honed it a little bit …  Nicholas Gaudern: we, we come sort of computate… We do a lot of computation around the angle of the serrations, because the angle of the serration is really critical for, uh, lift generation and loads. Allen Hall: So when you’re speaking of angle, you’re talking about- E-  Nicholas Gaudern: exactly … this angle back here at the- You can see that angle there. Okay.  Allen Hall: Yeah,  Nicholas Gaudern: yeah. Because you don’t want to put a serration on a turbine and add 20% to the lift of the blade. Right. No. Because-  Allen Hall: That’s not- …  Nicholas Gaudern: lift means loads. Yeah.  Allen Hall: You know? Right. You’re adding load. Nicholas Gaudern: So you have to be very careful about how you design these products to make sure that you’re not gonna add extra load to the turbine. And, and on the flip side, you also don’t wanna reduce lift significantly, which then [00:19:00] there’ll be less power produced. So it’s a bit of a balancing act, and this is where the computation comes in. We do a lot of CFD on these to make sure that we’re, we’re handling the loads correctly.  Allen Hall: And how important is the material choice- Yeah … in terms of the noise quieting? Is there a little bit to it about, well, one, durability. Yeah. You, you want to put them on once and leave them forever, so there’s a lot of interactions between the air and these parts that are gonna flex and bend, and you got- I think there’s, you know- 20 years of  Nicholas Gaudern: doing  Allen Hall: that …  Nicholas Gaudern: the, you’ve, you’ve s- you’ve hit the, hit the nail on the head there. The durability is critical. Yeah. It doesn’t matter if you put these products on the blade, and they perform beautifully for six months and then fall off or, or snap or whatever.  Allen Hall: Right.  Nicholas Gaudern: So no, we, we make these products out of the same material as our VGs, and this is a material, uh, it’s an ASA, uh, plastic. And we’ve had these out in the, in the field for a long time now, so we know- It’s- … this, this is great.  Allen Hall: It’s ex- it’s kind of a flexible material.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah, there’s  Allen Hall: a little b- It’s stiff but flexible.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah, exactly. There’s a bit of give in there- Yeah … uh, which is important, but it’s very impact-resistant. Uh, it doesn’t really suffer much in terms of [00:20:00] UV aging, which is obviously critical- Oh, wow. Yeah … when you’re, when you’re- Very critical, yes … out in the field. Yes. So yeah, we’re, um, we’re really happy with the material choice because we know from all our other campaigns with VGs that they last. It doesn’t matter whether it’s sun, rain, ice, snow. These products can survive out in the field for 20 years. Allen Hall: That’s one of the things I’ve noticed, uh, looking at a lot o- of blade photos with OEM trailing edge serrations. That the little triangles on the back edges break off.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah. And I think- There’s  Allen Hall: a lot of them. I was shocked on  Nicholas Gaudern: some sites. One thing you have to be very careful as well is, is lifting and handling as well. Oh. So, you know, sometimes if these products are installed in the factory, then how do you safely transport that blade and lift that blade?  Allen Hall: You really can’t.  Nicholas Gaudern: So in some ways it’d be better if you put them on at site, but obviously I, I know that’s not always possible. No. So we’re typically acting, um, as, you know, a retrofit. Mm-hmm. So in that sense we, we minimize a lot of that risk of the, the transport and handling that the OEMs may have to deal with.  Allen Hall: So [00:21:00] what’s next for Power Curve? What’s h- happening this summer?  Nicholas Gaudern: So we’re gonna be really pushing to get Silent Edge and Dragon Scale out in the field more. Yeah. Um, Dragon Scale is, is really exciting, and we’re gonna get our, our first, uh, turbines in different countries equipped with these products. And Silent Edge, uh, we’re currently putting some of the finishing touches on the, um, the tooling, the injection molding tooling. So the part we have in front of us, this is actually one that we had in the wind tunnel. So this one here is a 3D print. A very nice 3D print. Oh, yeah, it’s- Uh, it’s had vapor smoothing on it, so the surface- It is really smooth is, is super nice. And you can put these out in the field. So the, the trial with Statkraft was actually with 3D-printed components. If you wanna do a trial for a few months, it’s very possible to do it with 3D prints. Oh. And I, I think they’d actually last way, way longer than that, but, you know, the test was designed to put them on, measure them, take them off again. Yeah. And that’s what we did.  Allen Hall: Offshore.  Nicholas Gaudern: Mm.  Allen Hall: Uh, uh, w- we’ve had some people write into the podcast talking about offshore wind turbines. And in the States, offshore wind turbines are [00:22:00] usually 10, 15, 20 miles from the shore, but that’s not always the case. Over in Japan and some other areas, the turbines are pretty close to shore. Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah, def- They’re  Allen Hall: almost-  Nicholas Gaudern: They’re definitely near-shore …  Allen Hall: they’re almost- Yeah. Yeah, yeah … onshore turbines, but because they’re offshore, they get really big, right? So y- you can build a really big offshore turbine. And some of the comments we have received is, “Hey, these turbines are noisy.”  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah. And, you know, the, the water surface can do some weird things-  Allen Hall: Well, that’s what I wanted to know acoustically. Okay. Yeah. That’s what I wanted to know- Yeah. Yeah … because if you have trees and hills that kind of block the noise- Yeah … that’s easy. But if you have a turbine and you live on the, essentially the beach- Yep … or real close to the shore- Yeah … that turbine is right there. In some cases in Japan, it’s not very far. Yeah. You can see it.  Nicholas Gaudern: Particularly on a still day, you know, when you have a very flat water surface, that can mean that sound is able to propagate a little bit further than maybe it otherwise would.  Allen Hall: So is there a, a real need then to pay attention to the acoustics and noise- Yeah … coming off of offshore wind turbines? Nicholas Gaudern: [00:23:00] I think, uh, c- certainly the near-shore, the things you’re describing now. Yeah. Offshore’s an interesting question because I think often, if I think about the UK and, and Denmark, they are quite offshore, and I think in that, in that sense, the noise is much less of a, a concern. And I think it may be more driven by regulatory r- requirements- Mm-hmm than actual, you know, neighbor complaints perhaps. So noise is interesting because people put serrations on for different reasons. Yeah. Some put them on because there’s a regulation. Yeah. Uh, some put them on because they want to be shown to being a good neighbor, you know, doing the best they can to reduce noise- We should  Allen Hall: try to- Nicholas Gaudern: which we should absolutely be doing …  Allen Hall: do that every time we can.  Nicholas Gaudern: And some are doing it because they have curtailment on their turbines.  Allen Hall: Yes.  Nicholas Gaudern: So in order to meet a regulation perhaps, they have to basically turn down the turbine, and it means that it spins slower. And if it spins slower, the noise is lower, sure. But the power output is also lower. And what we found is that on some turbines that are in noise modes, they’re losing 3, 4, 5% AEP- Ooh. Ouch … [00:24:00]every year because they’re having to turn down the turbine to meet a regulation or to, to satisfy, you know, uh, neighbor relationships. But just imagine what that means for finances if you put a serration on. You can turn the turbine up again, which you’re now addressing the noise at the source, so you don’t actually have to stop it spinning slower. You’re actually killing the noise where it’s being generated.  Allen Hall: So there’s a big financial incentive- Yes … to look at trailing edge and try to quiet them as much as you can, particularly onshore. I think that case has- Yeah … been well made over time. I’m always shocked that a lot of operators that, uh, even in the US Midwest, and we s- we drive around quite a bit in the Midwest, there’s a lot of turbines that are near homes.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah,  Allen Hall: absolutely. Y- you know, there’s one or two or three homes. This isn’t like there’s a suburb right there, but there are homes out there, and, and they would like to have enjoyment of their property. Yeah, of course. And if you can knock down the noise a little bit, it would make it  Nicholas Gaudern: a much more pleasant place. Well, if you take, you know, if you take 30-plus percent off the perceived loudness, that’s, you know-  Allen Hall: Oh, that’s very noticeable … that’s gonna, that’s gonna make a difference. Yeah, you’ll get a thank you letter- Yeah for [00:25:00] sure. So that’s exciting. The- Yeah … all this is exciting. It- It’s  Nicholas Gaudern: gonna be, it’s gonna be a really great summer, I think, to get more of these components out in the field.  Allen Hall: So if, uh, an operator or an asset manager wants to get ahold of Power Curve, understand what Silent Edge is, and how to get it installed or put some dragon scales on this season, how do they do that? Nicholas Gaudern: So you can check out our website, uh, powercurve.dk. That has all of our contact details on. Uh, you can find me on LinkedIn, uh, as well. I’m often around these, uh- … events that we find- Yeah … uh, in different countries. So no, look, look us up, reach out by email, phone, whatever, and we’d be very happy to talk to you. Allen Hall: Or reach out to the India office.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yes, that’s something that we’re hoping to have up and running, uh- So  Allen Hall: if you’re  Nicholas Gaudern: in India- …  Allen Hall: later this year. Yeah. Reach out. Yeah, that, that’s gonna be an exciting advancement. Yeah. Great. For  Nicholas Gaudern: sure.  Allen Hall: Nicholas, it’s great to have you on the podcast again.  Nicholas Gaudern: Nice talking to you, [00:26:00] Allen.

Why do you still see the old you in the mirror?For many people, changing their body doesn't automatically change how they see themselves. Even after losing weight, improving fitness, or making significant lifestyle changes, the old thoughts, emotions, and self-perceptions often remain.In this episode of Body Image Shift, we explore why that happens and how learning to appreciate, accept, and love yourself at every stage of life can help close the gap between physical change and self-perception. We discuss the emotional nature of body image, why the "old version" of you often feels so present, and a simple mirror exercise that can help you begin creating a healthier relationship with yourself.This conversation is a reminder that body image isn't just about what you see.

Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich talks to Drew and Amanda, a married couple earning around $167,000 a year with a net worth of over $800,000. On paper, they look financially successful but behind the scenes, their fixed costs are dangerously high, their savings are low, and their spending decisions are causing tension in the relationship. Drew admits he struggles with spending, while Amanda finds it difficult to say no, leaving them stuck in a pattern where money feels stressful instead of empowering.

Read Online“Rabbi, when did you get here?” Jesus answered them and said, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled. Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal.” John 6:26–27The crowd desired one thing, but Jesus desired another. This reality is common to us all. Earlier in this chapter from John's Gospel, Jesus miraculously fed 5,000 men—not counting the women and children—with five barley loaves and two fish.The crowd was so ecstatic that they wanted to carry Jesus off and crown Him king. Jesus, however, had no desire to be an earthly king, so He withdrew to a mountain to be alone.The next morning, when the crowd discovered Jesus had left, they searched for Him and found Him in Capernaum with the Twelve. When they found Him, they asked, “Rabbi, when did you get here?” Jesus' response revealed their true motivation: “You are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled.” In other words, they desired another meal. Their interest in Jesus was superficial.In John's Gospel, Jesus' miracles are referred to as “signs.” These signs point to His divine Sonship and salvific mission, revealing Him as the source of eternal life. Jesus recognized that the people sought Him not because they sought spiritual understanding or insight into His divine nature, but solely for material satisfaction—another meal. The crowd desired physical food, but Jesus desired to give them spiritual nourishment to strengthen their faith so that they would believe and receive the eternal and superabundant treasures He came to bestow. Jesus then exhorted them to work for “food that endures for eternal life.” That “food” is their belief in Him, whom the Father sent to bring eternal life.We often find ourselves desiring the passing things of this world more than we desire God. It is natural, not sinful, to experience physical hunger and desire food. But if such desires become the driving force in our lives, then they become disordered.In addition to natural desires, our spiritual desires can also become misguided. For example, if we seek Jesus in prayer solely because we have a favor to ask of Him, then we are acting much like the crowd in today's Gospel, and Jesus' words to them would apply to us: “Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.”Our pursuit of Jesus must not be centered on our own ideas of what is best for us. Only God knows what is best. We must understand this and allow Him to redirect our desires to seek what is eternal. We must not only seek but also desire God's work in our lives. His greatest work is that we “believe in the one he sent.” We must desire faith in Jesus and His eternal plan, abandoning every superficial or misguided pursuit.Reflect today on what you desire most from your relationship with our Lord. If your ambitions are earthly and fleeting, look higher. Seek the eternal realities God wishes to bestow, and work to realign your desires toward those alone. God is aware of our natural needs and will provide for them according to His will when we prioritize understanding Him, His divine Sonship, and His mission. Learn from the crowd in today's Gospel and heed Jesus' gentle rebuke. Believe in the One the Father sent—Jesus, the Son of God—and all good and eternal things will be lavished upon you according to His will. My heavenly King, You desire to be the King of my life, directing my every action and controlling my every desire. I give all control to You, dear Lord, and ask that you redirect my every ambition and desire in accord with Your perfect will. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: The Sermon on the Mount. by Guillaume FouaceSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

You can't walk 10,000 steps every day…Then sabotage yourself at the dinner table.In this episode of Road to Victory, I break down the truth about selective discipline — and why progress in one area doesn't excuse self-sabotage in another.We talk about:• Walking 10,000 steps daily and still battling food choices• The internal negotiation that keeps people stuck• Why knowing better doesn't always mean doing better• Redirecting desire instead of suppressing it• Building discipline across every area of life• Why physical self-respect changes how the world responds to you• The deeper question: what's not to love about you?This episode is about alignment.Because discipline that only works when it's convenient…Isn't discipline.Welcome to the Road to Victory.

American broadcasters and political pundits employ fear and anxiety concerning national and world affairs to persuade the Black community's political leanings and economic actions.It'd be better to compel us to unite our talents and knowledge towards the common needs in our local communities.  It'd be better to acknowledge the urgency of unity as a necessary component to address these collective interests.  Our unity and will to achieve, not our votes, are the greatest resources we have.Imploring political and governmental leaders before we solicit our own efforts is misleading guidance.  We do not need to panic in the wake of national or global turmoil if we have prepared our community.  And there is still time for us to redirect our energy towards a civic engagement that starts with what we do at home in rearing our children and keeping our communities safe and clean.  If you would like to engage with the podcast, submit your listener questions to info@NurahSpeaks.com.  Listeners can also learn more by visiting NurahSpeaks.com.You can follow Nurah Speaks on X, Instagram and Facebook @NurahSpeaks and subscribe to the channel on YouTube.

What if doubt isn't something you eliminate… but something you learn to move through? In this deeply personal solo episode, Darin opens up like never before, sharing the raw, unfiltered truth about doubt, failure, grief, and resilience. From a career-ending injury to losing everything in the Woolsey Fire, to building businesses that didn't succeed the way he hoped, this is a powerful reflection on what it really takes to keep going when life doesn't go according to plan. This isn't a tactical episode, it's a human one. A reminder that even the people you look up to wrestle with doubt every single day. The difference isn't the absence of fear, it's the willingness to act anyway.

Every single person you admire feels it. The difference is, they don't let it decide for them. They take action anyway. And when you replace doubt with vision, discipline, and consistent action… you don't just quiet the noise—you start creating the life you actually want."

Richard A. MansfieldThe Good Life, Series Part 2

The Sunday of the Ladder reminds us that the Christian life is not a sprint, but a long obedience marked by small, repeated acts of faithfulness. St. John shows that the real struggle takes place in our thoughts, where healing begins with recognizing them and learning to turn back to Christ. Step by step, through endurance and humility, the heart is purified and made capable of peace. Sunday of the Ladder Winning the Battle of Thoughts In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Today the Church gives us St. John Climacus—St. John of the Ladder. And she gives him to us right here, in the middle of Great Lent. Not at the beginning, when everything feels fresh. Not at the end, when Pascha is in sight. But here. When we are a little tired. A little worn down. Maybe a little discouraged. And that is not accidental. Because St. John is not here to inspire us with dramatic moments. He is here to teach us how to keep going. St. John was a monk, writing for monks. And sometimes we hear that and think: "Well, that's not for me." But that's not how the Church reads him. The Church puts him in front of all of us and says: this is what the spiritual life looks like. Not because we are all called to live in monasteries—but because we are all called to be healed, to be purified, to be united to God. We are all, in that sense, spiritual athletes. And the Ladder is not a museum piece. It is a training manual. Now here is something we have to get clear right away. The Ladder is not a sprint, a quick transformation, or a series of glorious spiritual breakthroughs. It is a lifetime slog. Step by step. Fall, get up. Fall, get up again. No drama. No shortcuts. Just faithfulness. And this is where many people get discouraged. Because we want clarity, peace, and victory—and we want it quickly. But St. John shows us something different. The spiritual life is not built on big moments. It is built on small, repeated acts of faithfulness. So where does that struggle take place? Not primarily out there. Not in circumstances, other people, or events. But in here—in our thoughts. Think about your own experience. How much of your energy goes into replaying conversations, imagining arguments, worrying about what might happen, remembering what did happen, getting distracted in prayer, getting distracted in conversation—getting distracted, pulled away from what matters, from our responsibilities, from love. Most of our spiritual life is decided before we ever act—long before anyone else sees it—and often long before we notice it ourselves. At the level of thought. Now we need to say something very important. A thought is not a sin. Thoughts come. They arise. They pass through. You are not responsible for everything that appears in your mind. There are crazy people living within everyone's mind. No, you are not responsible for everything that appears in your mind—but you are responsible for what you do with it. Because the difference between peace and chaos often comes down to a very small moment: what do I do with this thought? Let me give you three very simple rules for dealing with intrusive thoughts. Not easy—but simple. Do not enter into conversation with them. When a bad thought comes, do not engage it, do not analyze it, do not argue with it, do not "just think about it for a second." Because once you start that conversation, you've already lost. Do not identify with them. Instead, you say: "This is not me. This is a thought passing through. This is normal. This happens all the time." That concept alone creates space. The resulting separation creates freedom. Redirect immediately. Don't wrestle—replace. Turn your attention to prayer, to a psalm, to something concrete, to crossing yourself, to saying "Lord, have mercy." Again and again. The teaching is clear—this is not where we need new insight. The difficulty is in doing it—this is where we need endurance. Because this is where the real work is. St. John says in Step 26 on discernment: "The beginning of salvation is the recognition of thoughts." Not controlling everything. Not fixing everything. Just recognizing—seeing thoughts clearly. Yes, that is where the healing of our minds—the salvation—begins. And most of us don't even get that far. Because we are already inside the thought, carried within it, buoyed along by the current of our emotions. We are already moving downstream, sometimes far downstream, before we even notice. In Step 4, speaking about obedience, St. John says: "Obedience is the burial of the will and the resurrection of humility." Now that sounds very monastic. But apply it here, to your life in the world. Every time you refuse a thought, every time you redirect, you are practicing obedience. You are saying: "I will not follow this. I will follow Christ." And that commitment does not happen once. It happens ten times, fifty times, a hundred times a day—quietly, unseen. Small victories that grow into a habit of victory. This is the Ladder. In Step 15, on purity, St. John says: "A pure mind sees things as they are." That's the goal. Not just avoiding bad thoughts—but becoming the kind of person whose perception has been healed. Because right now, our thoughts are not neutral. They are shaped by fear, pride, habit, passion—even something as simple as what we had for dinner last night. Please accept this: in our fallen state, we don't see reality clearly. We interpret everything through the distorted landscape of our minds—uneven, shadowed, and unstable. And the work of guarding our thoughts—slowly, patiently—allows Christ to begin to level that ground, so that what is crooked becomes straight and what is confused becomes clear. Not the clarity of desire or pride, but of Truth. Now, the fathers speak about this very strictly—especially in the monastery. And we might hear this and think: "Well, I'm not a monk." And that's true. But that does not mean the struggle is different. It means the context is different. As Metropolitan Saba has emphasized: the parish and the monastery are not competing paths. They are parallel paths. Same goal. Same healing. Same Christ. Different context. The struggle is the same. The setting is different. In the monastery, the structure supports watchfulness. In our lives, we have to build that structure ourselves—in our homes, our work, our friendships, through habits of sacrificial love, prayer, and worship. Let's be very clear about one more thing. You cannot drift up the Ladder. We don't expect strength without exercise or knowledge without study—but somehow we expect peace without discipline. Guarding your thoughts is work. Redirecting your attention is training. And this is why it feels like a slog. Because it is. It is the long, slow slog of our salvation. So what does this look like in practice? When you are replaying a conversation—stop. Do not continue. Distract yourself and focus on something else—something less destructive, something more useful. When anxiety starts spiraling—cut it early. Not later—early. Even a small, deliberate act of joy—something as simple as a change in expression—can give us enough freedom to return to the source of all joy. When you are standing in prayer and your mind wanders—don't chase it. Return. Immediately. Be comforted and instructed by their truth, and the way they connect you with the source of all truth. This is where endurance comes in—not in overpowering thoughts, but in returning again and again to what is good, what is beautiful, what is true. And now we come back to the image: the Ladder. You do not fall all at once. You do not rise all at once. You ascend—or descend—one thought at a time. Not in dramatic moments, but in quiet decisions, repeated daily over a lifetime. And this is the encouragement. If you feel like this is slow—it is. If you feel like this is repetitive—it is. If you feel like this is a slog—it is. But this is how we are healed. Not in flashes of glory, but in steady faithfulness. Because the Ladder is not climbed in monasteries alone. It is climbed in the hidden work of the heart. And when that work is done—even a little—we begin to live and to serve with clarity, with peace, and with joy. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

In this second part of our conversation, Columbia University psychiatrist and researcher Ragy Girgis examines the deeper social patterns behind the rise of modern mass violence. The discussion looks at how isolation, cultural change, and the loss of meaningful roles have reshaped the psychological landscape for many young men. Drawing on data from large case studies, the episode explores the difference between clinical mental illness and broader social breakdown. The result is a difficult but necessary conversation about what has changed in modern society and what it may take to reverse the trend.Part 1: https://youtu.be/FiZT2NnJ3mYPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go! 00:00:00 Violence, mental health, and social breakdown00:04:47 When modern mass violence began rising00:08:28 Environment, addiction, and the Rat Park insight00:13:45 Media, identity, and the cultural aesthetics of violence00:20:37 Masculinity, purpose, and social displacement00:29:07 Categories and patterns in mass violence data00:39:34 Psychological collapse and public attacks00:48:30 Isolation, media ecosystems, and cultural drivers00:57:30 Why current therapy models often miss men01:04:55 Cultural figures filling the guidance vacuum01:11:36 Alienation and the risk of ideological extremism01:17:01 Why common policy responses fall short01:21:26 Redirecting alienated young men toward purpose01:27:02 Recognizing the crisis and searching for solutions #mentalhealth #Psychology#humanbehavior #socialpsychology #ModernSociety#masculinity #MentalHealthCrisis#physicspodcast #philosophypodcast MERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

What word of caution and invitation does the final commandment offer concerning coveting?

In this final episode of the four-part series on Redirecting and Managing Behavior, Dr. Anna wraps up with five big-picture strategies that can transform your classroom, especially on the hardest days. You'll learn why giving up is never the answer and what to do instead when a lesson falls apart, how front-loading tasks with explicit instructions prevents behavior problems before they start, and why collective punishment backfires and damages the relationships you've worked so hard to build. Dr. Anna also shares practical ways to connect with students in small moments throughout the day and explains how building a class narrative gives students a sense of shared purpose that makes everything, including behavior, better. Whether you're in your first year or your fifth, these strategies will help you move from simply managing behavior to building a classroom community where students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.

If you're a mom today, chances are you've asked yourself some version of this question: "Why does my child melt down over the smallest things; and what am I supposed to do in the moment?" You're not alone. Parents are overwhelmed by big emotions, unpredictable reactions, and advice that sounds good in theory but falls apart in real life. Being told to "use your words" in the middle of a meltdown rarely works. Ignoring behavior feels wrong. And consequences without connection often make things worse. What parents are really looking for are strategies that work in kitchens, cars, grocery stores, and bedrooms at bedtime, not just in parenting books. Let's talk about what actually helps children regulate their emotions, why it works, and how you can use it consistently in everyday moments. In today's episode of Equipped To Be Connie covers: How to Regulate Your Emotions, Relate to Your Child, So You Can Redirect Your Child. -->Behavior Is Communication, Not Defiance Before any strategy can help, parents need one stabilizing reframe. -->Big Emotions Are a Signal, Not a Character Flaw Emotional regulation always starts with the parent. -->A Dysregulated Parent Cannot Regulate a Dysregulated Child -->Relate Before You Redirect Connection is what opens the door to cooperation. -->Naming Feelings Helps the Brain Settle -->Redirect with Clear, Simple Expectations When emotions run high, less language is more effective. Tune in for more practical ways to help you learn the best way to redirect your child in the middle of meltdowns and outbursts without losing your cool.

In this episode of the Be Wealthy Podcast, host Brett Tanner sits down with financial educator and infinite banking expert Kyle Fuller to unpack how wealthy individuals think differently about money, liquidity, and control.Kyle shares his personal journey growing up in a large family, witnessing financial hardship during the 2008 crisis, and how those experiences shaped his philosophy around cash flow, reserves, and long-term wealth planning. Together, Brett and Kyle break down why education must come before investing, how poor liquidity destroys otherwise good strategies, and why following the crowd is one of the fastest ways to lose money.This conversation dives deep into infinite banking, wealth foundations, cash flow over net worth, and how to build a financial system that creates freedom — not stress.

In this essential episode of the New Teacher Talk podcast, Dr. Anna delivers part three of her comprehensive four-part series on classroom behavior management, focusing on five transformative strategies that address the most common challenges faced by new and early-career teachers. Discover how to establish effective routines that serve as the "invisible scaffolding" of your classroom, moving beyond simply copying what works for others to creating intentional, age-appropriate systems aligned with your specific goals. Learn the strategic four-level voice system (class voice, small group voice, partner voice, and voice level zero) that removes ambiguity and establishes clear communication expectations throughout your instructional day. Dr. Anna tackles the self-defeating habit of making excuses for challenging classes, explaining why attributing difficulties to timing or circumstances leads to lowered expectations and acceptance of inappropriate behavior. She provides practical guidance on implementing consequences with confidence, helping teachers overcome reluctance to enforce boundaries while maintaining positive relationships with students. The episode concludes with insights on bringing authentic energy and passion to your teaching, regardless of your personality type, and understanding the powerful connection between teacher enthusiasm and student engagement. Each strategy includes concrete examples and immediately implementable techniques designed specifically for educators navigating the complexities of classroom management. Whether you're struggling with transitions, inconsistent student behavior, or maintaining engagement across multiple class sections, this episode delivers the practical, evidence-based approaches you need to transform your classroom management effectiveness. Perfect for: New teachers, student teachers, teacher mentors, instructional coaches, and any educator seeking to strengthen their classroom management skills.

On today's episode, I'm joined by Jacq Gould for a grounded, honest conversation about building self trust, reconnecting with yourself, and navigating seasons where you feel stuck or disconnected. We explore what self connection really looks like in daily life, the common signs of disconnection like perfectionism, people pleasing, and overextending, and why worthiness isn't something you earn after achieving a goal—but something that's built through self trust. Jacq shares her personal journey into this work, the power of group healing, and practical tools like daily nourishment practices, collecting evidence when things work out, and knowing when it's time to redirect a goal instead of forcing it. From reframing self-talk and releasing fear-based thinking to balancing self connection through motherhood, this episode offers thoughtful insights and tangible practices to help you feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with yourself.

Lately, I've been struck by how many of our religious conversations seem to turn into debates that leave us more divided, more entrenched, and more certain, but not more understanding. In this episode, I explore the idea that the problem might not be our disagreements, but the questions we've been trained to ask in the first place. Looking at the way Jesus consistently redirected the conversations people wanted to have, this episode reflects on how faith has become more about camps and certainty than curiosity and connection and what might change if we learned to ask better questions instead.

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are getting back in our hula-hoop as we redirect worry into what we can actually control. Have you ever noticed how worry has a way of making itself very comfortable in your body? Like it doesn't just visit your thoughts, it moves in, rearranges the furniture, and tightens your shoulders while it's at it. I'm not talking about the big, dramatic worries that show up once in a while. I'm talking about the everyday kind. The background noise. The constant mental tabs you keep open that never fully close. What's interesting is how often we don't even call it worry. We call it being responsible. Being prepared. Being a good parent, partner, leader, or friend. We say things like, “I'm just thinking ahead,” or “I just care.” Meanwhile, our bodies are clenched, our minds are racing, and it feels like we're always on standby for something we can't quite name. Here's the picture that kept coming to mind for me. It's like standing in the middle of your own hula-hoop, but spending all your energy reaching outside of it. Trying to manage outcomes, predict reactions, and control situations that aren't actually yours to carry. And the more time we spend out there, the more drained we feel in here. So today, I want to look at worry from a few less popular angles. Not just whether it's helpful or unhelpful, but what it does to us, where it comes from, and what might happen if we gently brought our attention back into our own hula-hoop. Because when we focus on what we can actually work on, something shifts. We don't suddenly stop caring. We just stop carrying what was never ours to hold. Worry has a sneaky way of making itself feel productive. It shows up dressed as responsibility. As preparation. As being on top of things. And because of that, we rarely question it. We just assume that if we stop worrying, something important will slip through the cracks. But here's the thing. Worry isn't the same as action. And it definitely isn't the same as control. CHALLENGE: Notice when worry pulls you outside your hula-hoop. Each time it does, gently bring your attention back to what you can actually work on within yourself. Invest that energy in your growth and trust that you are becoming more capable than you realize. I Know YOU Can Do It!  

We're being blatantly pushed towards manipulated perception and controlled actions. Systemic problems cannot be fixed by a narrowing focus on isolated groups. It's about responsibility, not getting credit. Self focus is the later result of living in the shadows. Enduring the human experience is cathartic. The control release part is hard. Dissonance begins now. Actual audits and documented info didn't work. It took a You Tuber operation to make this an issue. Think controlled exposure. Delayed outrage signals operators. Exposure is managed. Egregious fraud exists in all states. It was well documented in the first Trump term. Why just hold Walz accountable? Infiltrators are everywhere and participants are scattered. Structures survive in a controlled burn. Narrative downgrades fed by a media that hates truth. People are waiting for someone else to fix this. Gov. Bergam saw the audit results and then made them illegal. Covid shows how truth is ignored. Elder care is the next flaming fraud factory. Cuomo killed so many. Nigeria as a crypto and money laundering center. Estonia is where digital keys are broken. Quantum hybrid AI already exists. Sensationalism makes people comfortable. Real action is just the opposite. And timing is everything.

As global powers double down on militarism and defense, Daniel Zoughbie argues that the most transformative force in the Middle East has always come from citizen diplomacy. A complex-systems scientist and diplomatic historian, Zoughbie joins Mark Labberton to explore how twelve U.S. presidents have "kicked the hornet's nest" of the modern Middle East. Drawing on his work in global health and his new book Kicking the Hornet's Nest: U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East from Truman to Trump, Zoughbie contrasts the view from refugee camps and microclinic networks with the view from the Oval Office, arguing that American security rests on a three-legged stool of defense, diplomacy, and development. He explains why Gerald Ford stands out as the lone president who truly leveraged diplomacy, how the Marshall Plan model of enlightened self-interest can guide policy now, and why nationalism, not mere economics, lies at the heart of Gaza's future. Throughout, he presses listeners toward "citizen diplomacy" that resists pride, militarism, and fatalism. Episode Highlights "We've constantly ignored diplomacy." " You don't have to be enemies with people to get them to do what is in their own self-interest." "You can build skyscrapers in Gaza. You can build the Four Seasons in Gaza and it's not going to work. You're just going to have another war until you address that core issue of nationalism." "These three Ds defense diplomacy development are the three legged stool of American security and we know how important diplomacy and development are." "From Truman to Trump, only one president, and that is Gerald Ford, surprisingly the only unelected president, gets this right." "Pride—national pride, the pride of any one individual—is toxic. It's toxic to the individual. It's toxic to the nation. It's toxic to the world." "Foreign policymaking is not just something for secretaries of state and those in power. All of us in a democracy have a role to play."

Zoughbie is a complex-systems scientist, historian, and expert on presidential decision-making. He is associate project scientist at UC Berkeley's Institute of International Studies, a faculty affiliate of the UCSF/UCB Center for Global Health Delivery, Diplomacy, and Economics, and principal investigator of the Middle East and North Africa Diplomacy, Development, and Defense Initiative. He is the author of Kicking the Hornet's Nest: U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East from Truman to Trump and of Indecision Points: George W. Bush and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. His award-winning research has appeared in journals such as PLOS Medicine, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, and Social Science and Medicine. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of UC Berkeley, he studied at Oxford on a Marshall Scholarship and completed his doctorate there as a Weidenfeld Scholar. Show Notes Middle East Background and Microclinic Origins Daniel Zoughbie recalls visiting the Middle East as a child—"frankly horrified" by what he saw UC Berkeley protests over the Iraq War and post-9/11 U.S. policy in the region Metabolic disease and type 2 diabetes as an overlooked "greatest killer in the region." Neighbors in the West Bank sharing food, medicine, and blood-pressure cuffs—leads to the "micro clinic" concept Good health behaviors, like bad ones and even violence, can be contagious through social networks Social Networks, Anthropology, and Security Social anthropology, political science, and international relations Medical problems as simultaneously biological and sociological problems Understanding Middle East security demands attention to decisions "at the very bottom" as well as "the view from above" October 7 and 9/11 illustrate how small groups of people can "change the world with their decisions." Complex Systems and Foreign Policy Complexity is always increasing, and diplomacy and development exist to slow it down. Definition of "complex system": as one where many inputs produce outcomes that cannot be reduced to single causes. "We almost have a new law here, which is that complexity is always increasing in the universe. And the role of diplomacy and development, as I see it in international relations, is to slow things down. It's to stop complexity from advancing so that people have time to cool their tempers and to solve major security crises." Type 2 diabetes as a model for thinking about how city planning, economics, relationships, and habits interact He applies that lens to international relations: nations, leaders, institutions, and history form a "cascade of complexity." From Refugee Camps to Presidential Palaces George Shultz and Tony Blair: decision-makers as "real human beings," not abstractions Theological and ideological forces—such as certain apocalyptic readings of scripture—that shape U.S. foreign policy Gnosticism and eschatology within American right-wing Christianity Painstaking global health work on the ground and sweeping decisions made in Washington, Brussels, or New York Twelve Presidents and One Exception Kicking the Hornet's Nest: analysis of twelve presidents from Truman to Trump through the lens of Middle East decision-making Core claim: Only Gerald Ford truly rebalanced the three Ds of defense, diplomacy, and development. U.S. policy in the Levant: heavy reliance on militarism, coups, and covert actions while underinvesting in diplomacy and development Claim: "Far better alternatives were on the table" for every administration, yet consistently passed over. Gerald Ford, Kissinger, and the Path to Peace Daniel contends that the 1967 and 1973 wars were both preventable and nearly became global nuclear catastrophes. Ford inherits the presidency amid Watergate and national division, but keeps Henry Kissinger at State. Ford presses Israel and Egypt toward serious negotiations, empowering Kissinger's shuttle diplomacy and personal ties. A sharply worded letter threatening to "reconsider" the U.S.–Israel relationship Ford's diplomacy and the development of Camp David and the enduring Egypt–Israel peace based on "land for peace." Pride, Personality, and Presidential Failure Did Ford's temperament keep him from making himself the center of the story? In contrast, many presidents and other leaders write themselves "thickly" into the narrative of the conflict. Pride—personal and national—as a toxic force that repeatedly undermines U.S. policy The Iraq War and democracy-promotion agenda and the self-defeating nature of moralistic, militarized crusades Marshall Plan and Enlightened Self-Interest George Marshall and harsh punishment after World War I helped produce Nazi Germany The Marshall Plan models an "enlightened way of viewing the American self-interest": rebuilding Europe and Japan to secure U.S. security. He contrasts that with the neglect of the Levant, where aid and institution-building never matched military activism. Marshall's genius lies in locating the intersection between others' deepest needs and American capabilities. Militarism, Iran, and Nuclear Risk Recent U.S.–Israel–Iran confrontation as an "extremely dangerous moment"—with 60 percent enriched uranium unaccounted for JCPOA as an imperfect but effective diplomatic achievement, but dismantled in favor of militarism Claim: Bombing Iran scattered nuclear material and increased complexity rather than reducing the threat. He warns that one nuclear device could be delivered by low-tech means—a boat or helicopter—endangering civilians and U.S. forces in the Gulf. The only realistic path forward: renewed multilateral diplomacy between U.S., Israel, Iran, Russia, China, Pakistan, India, and regional actors Ethical Realism and Max Weber "Ethical realism"—Max Weber's distinction between the ethic of the gospel and the ethic of responsibility Statespeople bear responsibility for using force, yet the greatest can still say "here I stand and I can do no other." Claim: True leadership seeks a higher ethic where national interest aligns with genuine concern for others. Gaza, Nationalism, and Two States Welcoming the end of active war between Israel and Hamas and critiquing reconstruction plans that ignore politics Conflict is fundamentally nationalist: a struggle for self-determination by both Jewish and Palestinian peoples Claim: Economic development without a credible political horizon will not prevent "another October 7th and another terrible war." In his view, only partition of mandatory Palestine into two states can meet legitimate self-determination claims. For example, "You can build skyscrapers in Gaza… and it's not going to work" without addressing nationalism. Citizen Diplomacy and a Better Way Foreign policy is not only the work of secretaries of state; democratic citizens have responsibilities. American University of Beirut and the Gaza Baptist Hospital as fruits of citizen diplomacy Claim: Educational and medical institutions can change lives more profoundly and durably than military campaigns. Redirecting resources from bombs to universities and hospitals to reduce the need for future military interventions An invitation to citizen diplomacy: informed voting, sustained attention, and creative engagement for a more just peace Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.  

Power struggles feel like part of the toddler job description, but they don't have to run the whole house. In this episode, I break down what's really happening in those intense moments and how small shifts in tone, control, and connection can turn things around. This isn't about “winning” a battle. It's about helping your child feel capable while keeping your own sanity intact. We talk through the everyday situations that spark the most battles, why strong-willed kids push back as hard as they do, and how to meet them with calm authority instead of getting pulled into the chaos. You'll learn how to give healthy control without giving up your boundaries, how to use your child's growing cognitive skills, and how to de-escalate when emotions spill over on both sides. If you're tired of standoffs at mealtime, bedtime, the bathroom, or anywhere in between, this episode will help you feel more steady, more clear, and less stuck in the tug-of-war. In This Episode, We Cover: ✔️ Why it takes two to have a power struggle ✔️ When to give control and when to step in ✔️ How to offer choices without losing structure ✔️ Simple scripts that shift the tone instantly ✔️ Using cognitive development to your advantage ✔️ Redirecting repetitive demands without escalating ✔️ How to recover when things go sideways ✔️ Playfulness as a tool for reducing tension Want more?

In this episode of Paradigm Shifting Books, Stephen and Britain Covey explore a core principle from Dr. Craig Manning's The Fearless Mind, how to turn fear into focus. Drawing from Dr. Manning's work with Olympians, NBA champions, and top business leaders, they unpack the truth that fear cannot be eliminated but it can be reframed and redirected.Britain opens up about one of the most pressure-filled experiences in sports: returning punts in the NFL before a stadium of 80,000 fans. He shares a deeply personal poem, Your Bravest Self, written as a reminder that courage is not the absence of fear, but the choice to move forward despite it. Together, they discuss how learning to carry fear rather than silence it, can unlock calm, clarity, and confidence.They close with three simple, actionable steps inspired by Dr. Manning's teachings: breathe, anchor, and act. They explain how these can help anyone, whether you are facing a high-stakes meeting, a big presentation, or a defining moment in life.Tune in to discover how to reframe fear as your invitation to focus and perform at your best when it matters most.What We Discuss[00:00] Introduction[00:17] Turning fear into focus from The Fearless Mind[02:22] Britain's real-life experience facing fear in the NFL[04:33] The poem “Your Bravest Self” and its meaning[08:19] Redirecting fear[10:02] Three steps to turn fear into focus[11:51] Free throw routine analogyNotable Quotes[01:33] “You can't eliminate fear, but you can train your mind to handle it differently.” — Stephen[08:17] “It's okay to feel fear.
