On this Thanksgiving week 2025 and episode 304 of Take Flight Weekly, I revisit one of the most powerful performance basics in my playbook: gratitude. Not the soft version. The real thing. The kind that rewires your brain and anchors you when life is chaotic. I'll walk you through my personal affirmation that starts with "I am so happy and grateful," unpack why I built it the way I did, and connect it to what the science of gratitude is proving right now. Then we'll get tactical with a simple, elite-level gratitude strategy you can execute in five minutes a day. In Q4 2010, I was under real financial pressure. The business was hard, the numbers were tight, and I realized I had zero chance of winning if I didn't get control of what was happening between my ears. My goal was simple: Keep my emotional frequency at 51 percent or higher. Slightly more optimistic than pessimistic. Around that time, I was studying Bob Proctor and John Assaraf. They made one point that landed hard: Success starts in your mind long before it shows up in your bank account. So I wrote my own affirmation, and I've now said it tens of thousands of times. Meta-analyses of gratitude interventions show consistent gains in life satisfaction and mental health. Neuroscience work shows that gratitude practices light up reward and regulation centers in the brain. It's not just a "nice idea" anymore. It's a proven performance tool. The Anatomy of My Affirmation → "I AM" – The two most powerful words. Your subconscious accepts whatever follows. → "So happy and grateful" – Happiness and gratitude are inputs, not trophies. They're a frequency you decide to live in. → "That money, success, and introductions" – Gratitude keeps you focused on opportunities you already have. → "Flow to me" – The kind of flow that shows up when your mindset, actions, and relationships are aligned. → "In ever increasing quantities from a myriad of different sources" – Gratitude is a flywheel that compounds over time. → "For the betterment of all those involved" – I never wanted success that only worked for me. → "My life is perfect" – I choose to see my current reality as raw material, not punishment. → "Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better" – Pure 1% better math. What the Science Says → Gratitude improves mental health – Reduces anxiety and depression → Gratitude changes the brain – Activates reward and regulation regions → Gratitude improves physical health and sleep → Gratitude strengthens relationships → Structured gratitude tools work in as little as 6-10 sessions Three Gratitude Habits for Advisors → The 60-Second Morning Affirmation Before you touch your phone, stand up, breathe deeply, and say your affirmation. Say it like you mean it. → The Weekly Gratitude Text or Voice Memo Once a week, send one client, mentor, or team member a note saying specifically why you appreciate them. No pitch. Pure appreciation. → Gratitude Reset in Real Time When anxiety spikes, stop for thirty seconds. Name three things you're grateful for in that exact moment. Use gratitude as a pattern interrupt. I coach to happy and grateful results, not production. Production is a lagging indicator. Execution of being grateful is a leading indicator. When you're grounded, happy, and genuinely grateful, your business expands with less friction. That's not woo-woo. That's strategy. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
In this episode of Walk, Don't Run to the Doctor, we take a deep dive into statins, their true benefits, their real risks, and the massive role lifestyle plays in shaping heart disease outcomes. Rather than accepting oversimplified medical advice, this episode empowers you to think critically, understand uncertainty in medicine, and make fully informed decisions about your own health. You'll learn how to interpret risk statistics (like relative vs absolute risk), why lifestyle may outperform medication for many people, and why statins are helpful for some—yet potentially unnecessary or harmful for others. If you've ever been told "your cholesterol is high, you need a statin," this episode will give you the tools to ask better questions and understand whether that advice truly applies to someone like you. Key Takeaways: -Medical uncertainty is real — many "facts" are actually opinions without solid or applicable evidence. -Statins help some people more than others: -Strong evidence for people who already had a heart attack. -Much smaller benefit (sometimes minimal) for healthy, active people without prior heart disease. -Absolute vs. relative risk matters: -A "25% reduction in risk" may really mean only 1 fewer event per 100 people. -Lifestyle changes can reduce risk by 50–80%, often outperforming statin benefits—especially for people who exercise, eat whole foods, avoid smoking, keep weight down, and drink moderately. -Statin risks are real: Muscle pain: up to 1 in 10 Diabetes risk increased: about 1 in 200 Possible cognitive impairment (enough for an FDA warning) Polypharmacy (multiple medications) increases uncertainty and side-effect risks.

20201 Vital Plan & Coffee for Heart Health Podcast | Dare To Be Vital BookFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCAST1. Vitamin D Dramatically Reduces Heart Attack RiskNew American Heart Association data shows that maintaining vitamin D levels >40 ng/mL for ~4 years cuts recurrent heart attack risk by 52%. Most participants required 5,000 IU/day—far above the current FDA recommendation—to reach optimal levels, making vitamin D testing and personalized supplementation a critical and cost-effective intervention.2. Structured Exercise Improves Cancer SurvivalA large randomized trial in colorectal cancer patients found 90% survival with structured exercise vs. 83% with health education alone (a 42% relative reduction in mortality). Supervised and behaviorally supported exercise—not just information—is required to produce this survival advantage.3. Exercise Should Be Prescribed as Medicine for Cancer PatientsThe transcript highlights mechanisms—myokines, reduced inflammation, better fitness, and increased natural killer cell activity—that explain why exercise reduces cancer mortality. Recommendation: oncologists should prescribe personalized strength and fitness programs as part of cancer care.4. Exercise Is One of the Most Powerful Sleep OptimizersA study of 380 medical students showed:* Low physical activity = poor sleep quality* Being overweight or stressed worsens sleep* Strength training is the most effective exercise modality for improving sleep.The message: Use movement—especially strength training—to break the “doom loop” of poor sleep and inactivity.5. Vitality Is a Skill: Small Daily Choices CompoundThe episode reinforces two overarching themes:* Vitality is a skill you can learn, practice, and improve.* Vitality powers performance—especially through the synergy of exercise, sleep, vitamin D, strength, and connection.The weekly action: Get your vitamin D level checked and optimize it with guidance from your doctor.Copyright VyVerse LLC, All Rights Reserved This is a public episode.

Wisdom AI sells to enterprise data teams, empowering them to deploy AI data analysts that automate analytics functions traditionally handled by human analysts. As a former Rubrik co-founder and Google search ranking engineer, Soham identified the analytics problem firsthand while scaling Rubrik from intuition-driven to data-driven operations. In this episode of Category Visionaries, Soham shares how four Rubrik alumni are building a category-defining solution in the data analytics space, the tactical insights from targeting mid-market accounts to optimize deal velocity and onboarding experience, and how AI buying committees shifted from experimental budgets in 2024 to gatekeepers requiring departmental champions in 2025. Topics Discussed: Leveraging mid-market focus to compress sales cycles while refining onboarding as core product differentiation The transition from gut-based decisions to data-driven operations and why analytics remains unsolved Taming LLMs for precision and explainability requirements in enterprise analytics contexts Strategic navigation of the data ecosystem following the FiveTran-DBT merger and positioning against Snowflake, Databricks, and cloud providers Overlaying product-led trial motions on enterprise sales to maintain momentum during extended procurement cycles AI committee evolution from 2024's experimental phase to 2025's security-focused consolidation mandate Pursuing 10x productivity gains versus incremental improvement in established analytics markets GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Use mid-market to build onboarding velocity as moat: Rubrik deliberately targeted mid-market accounts despite being an enterprise product that closed eight-figure deals. This served two strategic purposes: compressed sales cycles enabled faster learning loops, and the necessity of quick onboarding forced the team to build exceptional admin experiences that became their primary differentiation. For B2B founders, mid-market isn't just easier logos—it's a forcing function for product refinement that creates competitive advantages when moving upmarket. Find problems through operational scar tissue, not market research: Wisdom AI originated when Soham tried moonlighting as engineering's data analyst during Rubrik's scaling phase and discovered he couldn't do it effectively. This wasn't a customer interview insight—it was firsthand recognition that even sophisticated technical leaders with dedicated focus couldn't wrangle data for operational decisions. The problem proved ubiquitous across every business leader optimizing top line, bottom line, and operations. B2B founders building for enterprises should prioritize pain points they've personally hit in operational contexts where existing solutions demonstrably failed them. Engineer time-to-value in minutes for PLG overlay on enterprise sales: Wisdom AI's experiential quality—users get excited when they try it, not when they see slides—creates PLG opportunity despite enterprise positioning. The critical difference: sales-led motions tolerate weeks to first value and build confidence through process, but self-serve requires hook-to-value in minutes with zero support. Soham's insight is using PLG not for credit card swipes but to maintain champion enthusiasm during lengthy procurement processes. B2B founders should architect trial experiences that deliver standalone value pre-data connection, creating internal advocates who sustain momentum through AI committee reviews. Treat ecosystem navigation as first-class GTM workstream: Wisdom AI's success depends on partnership execution with Snowflake, Databricks, and cloud providers—all potential competitors with their own AI initiatives. The FiveTran-DBT merger created immediate dynamic shifts requiring repositioning. Rather than viewing partnerships as business development, Soham frames ecosystem navigation as core GTM infrastructure requiring dedicated strategy and repeatable playbooks. B2B founders in platform-adjacent spaces should staff for partnership complexity early, recognizing that integration points and co-selling motions often determine market access more than direct sales capacity. Architect for AI committee gatekeepers with departmental executive sponsorship: The market fundamentally shifted from mid-2024's "experimental AI budgets, try everything" to 2025's centralized AI committees focused on security, tool consolidation, and preventing organizational wild west scenarios. Soham's tactical response: secure champions owning specific important departments who can navigate approval hierarchies while trial experiences maintain grassroots excitement. The implication for B2B AI founders—assumption of longer cycles, security scrutiny as table stakes, and explicit strategies for climbing from individual enthusiast to organizational deployment become non-negotiable enterprise sales requirements. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Special Episode — Recorded live at the Oppenheimer Research Conference 2025. In South Africa's fight against rhino poaching, data—not emotion—drives progress. Conservation researchers Dr. Timothy Kuiper and Lucy Chimes share the results of their multi-reserve study on what actually reduces poaching. From aerial patrols, drones, and canine units to the controversial dehorning strategy, they discuss what works, what doesn't, and why context matters. The evidence shows dehorning can significantly reduce poaching—but only when combined with strong security, community partnerships, and demand-side solutions. A rigorous, evidence-based look at how science is shaping the next chapter of rhino conservation.
Gratitude and anxiety cannot coexist. It is a scientific fact that gratitude reduces anxiety. From a physiological and neuroscience perspective, the brain can't experience both anxiety and gratitude simultaneously. The benefits of a gratitude practice can be profoundly impactful. How does gratitude reduce Anxiety? Gratitude reduces anxiety by shifting us from a state of negative thinking to a more positive one. Additionally, the benefits of a gratitude practice include the release of positive hormones in the brain, such as serotonin and dopamine. When Serotonin and Dopamine are released, stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline are reduced. In an article on Research.com, researchers shared 35 scientific benefits of practicing gratitude. The benefits are physiological and psychological. Gratitude can help improve sleep, reduce blood pressure, and prevent overeating. It can also stimulate your immune system, motivate you to exercise more, improve your patience, and help you feel more confident. Additionally, it can reduce envy or jealousy, increase optimism, and make you more forgiving. And the list goes on. Gratitude is powerful. How gratitude and the brain work together. Gratitude evokes positive thinking, thereby fostering cognitive restructuring. Cognitive restructuring is a therapeutic process that involves reshaping negative, potentially detrimental thoughts into more positive and effective ones. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to form and reorganize new neural connections, thereby altering its neural wiring and firing patterns. Both are powerful tools for managing anxiety and dysfunctional thought patterns. Why do you need to start a gratitude practice? There are many benefits of gratitude. Gratitude shifts your perspective to what is going well, rather than focusing on what could go wrong. You can think of gratitude as a natural antidepressant because it releases dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin—positive neurochemicals in the brain. Read the full show notes and access all links.

Introduction In this episode of Coffee with Samso, we reconnect with Brett Hazelden, Managing Director of OD6 Metals, to explore how the company is navigating two of the most intriguing thematic opportunities in the market today — rare earth elements (REEs) and copper. OD6 was first introduced to the Samso audience in a very different market — rare earth sentiment was hot, clay-hosted projects were flooding the ASX, and recovery pathways were still largely unproven. Fast-forward to 2025, and the game has changed. The company's flagship Splinter Rock project in Western Australia is now underpinned by validated heap leach metallurgy, enhanced nano-filtration, and a robust understanding of orebody consistency — ticking the key boxes that separate projects with longevity from the fleeting momentum plays. At the same time, OD6 is quietly advancing a highly prospective copper VMS project at Gulf Creek in New South Wales, where historical high grades and recent drilling suggest potential for a standalone, company-making discovery. This conversation explores both sides of the OD6 story — a smarter REE flow sheet, and the search for a modern VMS discovery in an overlooked district. Rare Earths at Splinter Rock – Smarter Processing, Lower Capex, Better Product ✔ Heap Leach Breakthrough What started as a "just in case" test alongside traditional tank leach flowsheets has emerged as a breakthrough: heap leaching not only works — it offers higher recoveries, lower reagent use, and slashes capex. 75–80% recoveries from column testwork Removes the need for tanks, filters, tailings dams Simplifies the flowsheet and reduces environmental impact "Everyone expected heap leach to fail with clays. Instead, we found it performs better — less equipment, cheaper, and scalable." – Brett Hazelden ✔ Nanofiltration: A Technical Edge In August 2025, OD6 announced it had successfully trialled nanofiltration on its leach solutions — a key value unlock: Cuts acid use by 80–85% through recycling Reduces downstream plant size by 70% Enhances product purity and ESG credentials Nanofiltration acts like a REE-specific desalination process — separating heavier rare earths from light elements and allowing a high-quality EM-rich product to be recovered with minimal waste. ✔ Orebody Confidence – Consistency at Depth OD6's testwork has focused on the Inside Centre area of Splinter Rock: 120Mt @ ~1600ppm TREO (from a broader 680Mt JORC) Broad, flat geometry with 70–80m of mineralised clays Simple stratigraphy with consistent metallurgy Upcoming bulk column testing with ANSTO is validating how the ore performs across depth zones — the top 40m vs. the bottom 40m — to ensure no surprises in full-scale operations. OD6's Advantage in the Rare Earth Game OD6's rare earth mineralogy is distinct from hard rock monazite or apatite systems, allowing for ambient temperature leaching. Other projects require aggressive cracking at high temperatures — expensive and carbon-intensive. OD6's approach works at room temperature, using simpler, cheaper reagents. "You can't just apply heap leach to any rare earth project. Ours works because of our unique mineralogy — that gives us a genuine technical edge." Strategic Thinking: Beyond China, Beyond Hype OD6 is focused on developing a high-purity, globally marketable rare earth carbonate, and potentially refining it further into selective oxides (e.g., NdPr oxide). While the REE market has been volatile, OD6's strategy is focused on real offtake, real product, and long-term survivability: No reliance on inflated spot prices or unsustainable government support No hype-driven LOIs with no substance Clear cost pathway: ~USD $300M capex vs $1.2B for many peers "There's a lot of noise in rare earths, but not many with a product that works. We're now one of the few still standing, with a technically sound, economic pathway." Gulf Creek VMS Copper Project – A Sleeping Giant? While rare earths remain the flagship, the Gulf Creek Copper Project in NSW could be the catalyst that delivers near-term excitement. Historic production (1896–1912) reported grades of 2–12% Cu Drilling confirms mineralisation continues below the old mine 4.6% Cu intercepts in recent programs VMS-style system with multiple repeat structures mapped Strong magnetic signatures tied to known mineralisation OD6 is currently drilling new targets — Big Bend, West Limmon, Northwest — that exhibit geophysical and geological similarities to the main Gulf Creek lode. "VMS is a small company's holy grail. High grade, modest tonnage, fast capex. Just look at what DeGrussa did for Sandfire." With solid land access, supportive local communities, and compelling historic grades, Gulf Creek could evolve into a separate copper value centre — and even warrant a spin-out if the results continue to deliver. Samso Concluding Comments OD6 Metals today is not the company it was in 2022. This is now a business with: A technically proven REE flow sheet A heap leach process that defies conventional wisdom Clear understanding of mineralogy, product quality, and economic constraints And now, a copper discovery story brewing quietly in NSW. In many ways, OD6 is a case study in how to advance a resource project the right way — quietly, methodically, and with the long game in mind. It's also one of the few juniors with genuine dual-commodity upside — a defensive REE platform and a high-grade VMS copper wild card. For investors tired of rock chip hype and non-binding fluff, OD6 is a rare earths company with a product that works — and a copper discovery that could change the narrative altogether.

Frailty, once thought to be irreversible, is now recognized as a condition that can be improved through consistent outdoor movement, restoring strength, balance, and independence in older adults Research from Canada's GO-OUT studies shows that even simple walking programs — whether guided park walks or weekly reminders — measurably reduce frailty and boost mobility in as little as 10 weeks Confidence, not just time spent walking, proved to be the strongest predictor of improvement, as older adults who practiced in supportive outdoor groups felt safer and more capable continuing on their own A Hong Kong trial found that pairing a smartphone app with outdoor fitness equipment helped older adults stay active, build exercise confidence, and improve mental well-being far beyond structured classes You don't need a gym to rebuild vitality — start with short, daily walks outdoors, add small balance or strength challenges, and work toward one hour a day to strengthen muscles, circulation, and confidence naturally

Jimmy Barrett takes you through the stories that matter the most on the morning of 11/06/25.
This episode was created in collaboration with, and first posted on, The Itch podcast. Mucus plugging is a challenge in asthma care. It's thick, sticky mucus that blocks the airways and doesn't respond to regular inhalers. Even when inflammation improves, these plugs can lower lung function, limit how well medicine works, and make asthma harder to control. In this episode, The Itch breaks down the study: “Effect of Dupilumab on Mucus Burden in Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Asthma,” published Oct. 28, 2025. The analysis looks at whether dupilumab (Dupixent), a biologic that blocks IL-4 and IL-13, can lower mucus burden and improve lung function, especially in people who start with a high “mucus plug score.” Read the paper: https://www.atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1164/rccm.202410-1894OC

Mucus plugging is a challenge in asthma care. It's thick, sticky mucus that blocks the airways and doesn't respond to regular inhalers. Even when inflammation improves, these plugs can lower lung function, limit how well medicine works, and make asthma harder to control. In this episode, we break down the study: “Effect of Dupilumab on Mucus Burden in Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Asthma,” published October 28, 2025. The analysis looks at whether dupilumab (Dupixent), a biologic that blocks IL-4 and IL-13, can lower mucus burden and improve lung function, especially in people who start with a high “mucus plug score.” What we cover in our episode about dupilumab and mucus plugging Why mucus plugging matters in asthma: Discover how thick, sticky mucus can block airways, make it harder to breathe, and why standard inhalers and steroids don't clear these plugs. How dupilumab may help: Learn how this biologic blocks IL-4 and IL-13, two key drivers of type 2 inflammation that increase mucus production and thickness. Inside the VESTIGE study: Hear how researchers measured mucus burden using CT scans and “mucus plug scores” to see if dupilumab could reduce plugging in moderate-to-severe asthma. What the results showed: Find out how dupilumab lowered mucus plug scores, reduced airway inflammation, and improved lung function (FEV₁), especially in people with high mucus burden. What this means for patients: Learn why identifying and treating mucus plugging may help improve breathing, reduce flare-ups, and make asthma easier to manage day to day.

BUFFALO, NY — October 27, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 9 of Aging-US on September 17, 2025, titled “Depletion of the TRF1 telomere-binding protein leads to leaner mice with altered metabolic profiles.” In this study led by first author Jessica Louzame Ruano and corresponding author Maria A. Blasco from the Spanish National Cancer Centre (CNIO), researchers investigated the role of TRF1, a protein known for protecting telomeres, in regulating whole-body metabolism. The results suggest that TRF1 influences metabolic health through mechanisms unrelated to its known function in telomere maintenance. Obesity and metabolic disorders are major health concerns, especially as people age. To explore TRF1's role beyond telomere protection, the research team studied both normal mice and genetically modified mice that lacked TRF1. Mice without TRF1 remained leaner over time, resisted fat accumulation, and showed healthier blood sugar and insulin levels compared to normal mice. Importantly, these benefits occurred without any detectable shortening of telomeres. The leaner body composition in TRF1-deficient mice was not due to reduced food intake or increased physical activity. Instead, the fat loss appeared to result from biological changes in how energy was processed and stored. Male mice without TRF1 gained less weight and had lower LDL cholesterol levels, even on a high-fat diet. Female mice showed milder effects, reflecting known sex-based differences in susceptibility to diet-induced obesity. This highlights the importance of including both sexes in metabolic research. “Major metabolic pathways related with energy production and regulation of metabolism homeostasis were also found downregulated in Trf1-deficient mice.” Gene expression analysis in the liver revealed shifts in several key pathways. Genes related to fat production, energy generation, and muscle growth were downregulated, while genes linked to inflammation and cholesterol synthesis were upregulated. The mice also showed signs of higher energy expenditure and a shift from using fat to protein as an energy source, possibly due to their reduced fat reserves. However, some older mice developed mild liver stress, including fibrosis and DNA damage, suggesting a possible long-term trade-off. Overall, this study expands the understanding of how telomere-related proteins influence more than just cellular aging. By identifying a connection between TRF1 and metabolism, the research opens new possibilities for targeting TRF1 or its pathways to address obesity and related conditions. Still, further studies are needed to clarify how TRF1 affects fat development and whether similar effects occur in humans. DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.206320 Corresponding author - Maria A.

Australian researchers have found breastfeeding can protect women against breast cancer by building up their immunity. According to a new study, pregnancy and breastfeeding produces infection-fighting T-cells that help guard against abnormal cells that could develop into cancer. - بچوں کے لیے ماں کے دودھ کے طبی فوائد پر کئی دہائیوں سے تحقیق کی جا رہی ہے۔ اب پیٹر میک کالم کینسر سینٹر کے محققین نے ایک نئی تحقیق شائع کی ہے جس میں بتایا گیا ہے کہ حمل اور دودھ پلانا خواتین کو چھاتی کے سرطان سے بچانے میں بھی مددگار ہو سکتا ہے۔
New research has confirmed Ozempic reduces the risk of strokes and heart attacks by 20 percent - even in patients who weren't severely overweight to start with. The study, which was led by University College London and published in The Lancet, found that weight loss accounted for only one third of this reduction. Auckland University molecular medicine professor Peter Shepherd says this is proof other factors are behind the slowdown of heart disease. "We know a few of them, we know a bit about how it effects heart tissue growth, we know a bit about the positive effects it has on the deposition of the lipids, but there's still a long way to go to fully understand its effects."

In this episode of The Pulling Curls Podcast, hosts Hilary Erickson and Dr. Janene Fuerch, a neonatologist at Stanford, dive into what every pregnant family should know about the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). They discuss why it's important to understand NICU basics—even if you're planning a smooth delivery—and share practical tips on how to cope if your baby needs extra care, including ways to stay connected, manage stress, and support bonding. The episode also highlights exciting innovations aimed at making NICU stays safer and more comfortable for babies and families, plus insights on hospital levels and advocacy for neonatal advancements. Big thanks to our sponsor Laborie -- LifeBubble® Umbilical Catheter Securement System LifeBubble is made of a Soft Medical Grade Silicone to minimize skin irritation, Reduces the Risk of Catheter Migration and Early Discontinuation, and Protects the Insertion Site of our most vulnerable patients. Find them on Instagram @laborie_ob Today's guest is Janene Fuerch, MD. She is a Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Division of Neonatal and Developmental Medicine, Associate Director of the Biodesign Innovation Fellowship Program at Stanford University, and Co-Director of Impact1 where she mentors and advises entrepreneurs in the pediatric and maternal space through all aspects of medical device development, from identifying clinical needs to commercialization.

The NICU can range from having just a couple of extra staff in the delivery room to having 15 people if a baby needs help, making the birth experience much more intense and involved. Planning ahead with your partner about who will go with the baby in case of separation can help make a stressful situation a little easier. About 10% of babies need some help breathing at birth, but most recover quickly; only a small percentage require NICU care beyond the basic interventions. NICUs are graded by levels (I-IV), and knowing what level your hospital offers can help families prepare—higher-level NICUs can treat more complex issues but aren't always necessary for uncomplicated births. If your hospital isn't a level III or IV, babies needing higher-level care may need to be transferred, which could mean temporary separation from parents; hospitals always work to reunite families as quickly as possible. NICU nurses are passionate, skilled, and deeply care about the babies and their families, creating a loving and safe environment even during stressful times. Parents can support their recovery and milk production by getting rest and using NICU technologies (like webcams) to stay connected—it's okay to take breaks and trust the NICU staff. Emerging technologies like Labry's Life Bubble are making NICU stays safer and more comfortable, allowing parents to hold their babies even when special catheters are in place. Skin-to-skin contact in the NICU is highly beneficial for both babies and parents, helping with bonding, milk production, and even neurodevelopment; parents are encouraged to ask staff about timing and any concerns about wires or tubes.

What if a few workflow changes could cut your average arrival time from 44 minutes to nine and reduce secondary crashes by 30 percent? That's the lived experience industry veteran and Hall of Famer John Borowski brings to our conversation about modernizing towing operations with digital dispatch.We dig into the real reasons teams resist new tools—fear of the unknown, comfort with paper and radio, anxiety over ROI—and show how unified software turns chaos into clarity. John breaks down integrations that matter most: seamless connections with motor clubs, police calls, GPS, billing, and reporting so jobs, photos, timestamps, and signatures live in one clean record. The payoff is immediate: calmer dispatchers, fewer errors, faster ETAs, and accurate invoices. For owners watching margins, a simple per-truck subscription with no upfront fees and a free trial lowers risk while surfacing cost-per-call, profitability by account, and the data you need to negotiate smarter.Safety takes center stage. John shares how tighter dispatch, real-time tracking, and automated statuses helped DOT teams clear scenes faster and curb dangerous secondary crashes. With location visibility and dwell-time alerts, operators get an extra layer of protection and customers spend less time on the shoulder. We also tackle data security and compliance, explaining how audit-ready logs and access controls protect sensitive information while meeting agency and motor club requirements.We wrap by celebrating John's new book, Towing Through Time, and his upcoming column in Tow Professional Magazine—two more ways he's investing in the industry's future. If you're evaluating dispatch platforms or still juggling paper logs, this conversation offers a clear blueprint to scale safely and profitably.

Listen to the full episode: https://youtu.be/6jLhl8Zaznw?si=jaBuMbIWQApYpeEv Why does starting your day with protein reduce anxiety for the rest of the day? In this Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, Sal Di Stefano joins me to break down the science of blood sugar control, why intermittent fasting is "a terrible way to lose weight," and the shocking truth about cardio versus strength training for fat loss. We also unpack the biggest mistake women make when tracking progress: obsessing over the scale instead of body composition. Sal explains why 40% of weight lost through cardio comes from muscle, shares a study where strength training alone beat cardio AND strength training combined for fat loss, and reveals why psychologists now prescribe high-protein breakfasts to anxious patients. Sal Di Stefano is a fitness expert with over 20 years of personal training experience and co-host of the Mind Pump podcast, one of the top-rated fitness shows in the world. What we discuss: How protein at breakfast controls blood sugar and reduces anxiety throughout the day The two-question filter for any fitness advice: "Will I do it?" and "Is it realistic?" Intermittent fasting's original purpose and why it fails for weight loss Cortisol addiction and the binge-restrict cycle fasting creates When cold plunges hurt more than help for overstressed people Cardio vs strength training: why 40% of cardio weight loss comes from muscle The study where strength training alone beat cardio for fat loss Ditching the scale: better metrics for tracking body transformation Thank you to our sponsor: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off Air Doctor: Go to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code HUSTLE for up to $300 off and a 3-year warranty on air purifiers.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Nathan Mitchell from Broken Arrow, OK. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. Your commitment is helping deliver God's Word with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 7:4–8. And the LORD said to Gideon, “The people are still too many. Take them down to the water, and I will test them for you there, and anyone of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,' shall go with you, and anyone of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall not go with you,' shall not go.” So he brought the people down to the water. And the LORD said to Gideon, “Everyone who laps the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set by himself. Likewise, everyone who kneels down to drink.” And the number of those who lapped, putting their hands to their mouths, was three hundred men, but all the rest of the people knelt down to drink water. And the LORD said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men who lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hand, and let all the others go every man to his home.” So the people took provisions in their hands, and their trumpets. And he sent all the rest of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men. And the camp of Midian was below him in the valley. — Judges 7:4-8 You'd think losing 22,000 soldiers was enough. But God isn't finished. He tells Gideon, “The people are still too many.” This time, there's no speech to the crowd — just a strange test at the water's edge. Soldiers kneel or lap water from their hands. The result? Only 300 make the cut. No explanation about why this method mattered. No insight into the military reasoning. Just God's choice — and His promise: “With the three hundred men… I will save you.” Gideon is now down to less than 1% of his original army. From a human perspective, the odds aren't just bad — they're impossible. And that's exactly how God wants it. When you're down to your “less than 1%,” it's not always a sign that God has abandoned you — sometimes it's proof he's setting the stage for His glory. Gideon's reduction wasn't about military strategy; it was about making sure Israel couldn't take credit. God will sometimes allow your resources, influence, or opportunities to shrink to a fraction of what you think you need. Why? So the only explanation left is him. In everyday life, this might look like a budget cut that forces you to depend on his provision, a smaller team that makes you lean harder on his strength, or fewer open doors so that when the right one opens, you know it's from him. We resist these reductions because they feel like loss. But in God's hands, they're actually preparation. He removes what you think you need so you can discover he's all you truly need. ASK THIS: Where has God been reducing your “army” lately? How could this loss be positioning you for a greater dependence on Him? Are you tempted to measure God's ability by your resources? What would it look like to trust Him with your “less than 1%”? DO THIS: Identify one area in your life where God has reduced your resources. Instead of panicking, thank Him for the opportunity to see His power more clearly. PRAY THIS: Lord, when my strength is reduced and my resources run low, help me remember that You are setting the stage for Your power. Teach me to trust You more than what's in my hands. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Way Maker."
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Art Forester from Hudson, WI. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. Your commitment is helping deliver God's Word with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 7:1–3. Then Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him rose early and encamped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was north of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley. The LORD said to Gideon, "The people with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel boast over me, saying, 'My own hand has saved me.' Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, 'Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return home and hurry away from Mount Gilead.'" Then 22,000 of the people returned, and 10,000 remained. — Judges 7:1-3 So the Israelite army wakes up early, camped at the spring of Harod. Just across the valley, Midian's massive force waits. Every soldier counts — at least, that's what Gideon must have thought. But God sees the situation differently than Gideon does. He tells Gideon, "You have too many men." Too many? Against an army so large it can't be counted? Yes. God knows the danger isn't the size of the enemy — it's the pride in Israel's heart. If they win with a big enough army, they'll think they did it themselves. So God orders a cut. Anyone who is afraid can leave. And just like that, 22,000 soldiers pack up and head home. Gideon is left with less than a third of what he started with. The odds just got worse — and exactly how God wanted them. God will sometimes strip away the resources, people, or security you thought you needed — not to punish you, but to purify your faith. When he reduces what you rely on, it's because he wants you to rely on him. It is uncomfortable. It feels unsafe. But if our confidence rests in our numbers, connections, or abilities, then our faith isn't in God — it's in ourselves. So has God been reducing your resources lately? When God reduces our resources, he is often removing our false sense of control that we've been clinging to. Sometimes we don't even know we are clinging to it, so we resist the reduction. But fewer options force deeper faith. Less human advantage means more room for divine intervention. The question is, when God starts reducing your "resources," will you see it as a setback… or as the setup for him to show his power? ASK THIS: Where has God been cutting back your resources or support lately? How could that reduction be preparing you to trust Him more? What false securities might He be removing from your life? Are you willing to face a harder battle if it means God gets the glory? DO THIS: Identify one area where you've been depending on your own strength. Release it to God today and pray for faith to trust him with the outcome. PRAY THIS: Father, when You take away what I think I need, help me see it as Your way of drawing me closer to You. Strip away my pride and replace it with deeper trust in Your power. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Strip It All Away."

Cardiovascular disease kills nearly 18 million people worldwide each year, but natural compounds like naringin in citrus fruits are showing strong protection for arteries and heart health Naringin blocks ferroptosis, a deadly form of heart cell death during heart attacks, while silencing inflammation alarms to protect cardiac muscle under stress Human trials show naringin improves cholesterol profiles, reduces arterial stiffness, and enhances overall cardiometabolic health within just 90 days of consistent intake from citrus sources Beyond the heart, citrus flavonoids improve insulin sensitivity, lower harmful cholesterol, reduce belly fat, and stabilize blood sugar, offering metabolic benefits against obesity and diabetes Naringin also protects the liver from drug-induced damage and slows tumor growth in cancers like breast, lung, and colon by restoring cell self-destruction and cutting tumor blood supply
