Donald Trump's attacks on longtime US "allies" have forced Western leaders to admit their warmongering foreign policy was hypocritical. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney said the truth in his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos: the "rules-based order" was "false".

If you struggle with health anxiety or body hyper-focus, you know how quickly a sensation can turn into fear.A tight muscle, a flutter, a strange feeling and suddenly your mind is scanning, analyzing, and reacting as if something is wrong. This guided meditation is designed to interrupt that cycle. Rather than trying to calm yourself through reassurance or distraction, this practice helps you do something more effective: learn to notice physical sensations without reacting to them. Using principles from nervous system regulation, interoceptive exposure, and cognitive defusion, this meditation teaches your body and brain a new association, that sensations can exist without meaning danger. In this meditation, you'll practice: Observing physical sensations without labeling them as threats Separating sensations from anxious thoughts Reducing body hyper-monitoring Allowing discomfort without resistance Teaching your nervous system safety through experience, not reassurance This is not a relaxation only meditation.It's a skill-building practice meant to retrain your response to bodily sensations over time. Listen when you feel stuck in your body, hyper-aware of sensations, or caught in the fear → reaction loop.The goal isn't to make sensations disappear, it's to change how you respond to them.

In this episode, Sharran reveals the five key strategies he's using to sharpen his mind and avoid falling into intellectual laziness.Sharran emphasizes the importance of reducing short-form content consumption, choosing long-form materials, rethinking how we outsource to AI, and even re-evaluating entertainment to improve focus. The most powerful strategy, though, is making writing a daily habit to keep your mind engaged and thinking clearly.If you're ready to start thinking more clearly and stop getting dumber, tune in to hear how these simple practices can make a big difference in your personal and professional growth.“Our minds get stronger when we can actually think because when we think clearly, it's easy to write.”- Sharran SrivatsaaTimestamps:02:15 - Reducing short-form content consumption04: 17- The benefit of choosing long-form content06:31 - How over-relying on AI can stunt intellectual growth11:01 - Stop taking advice from influencers17:21 - Flipping the creation to consumption ratio19:14 - Replacing mindless entertainment with more meaningful activities22:14 - Writing as the antidote to intellectual decline25:18 - Recap: How to stop getting dumberResources:- The Next Billion by Sharran Srivatsaa - https://sharransrivatsaa.substack.com/- Acquisition.com - https://www.acquisition.com/- Board Member: ARC Multifamily Real Estate Investing - https://arcmf.com/- Board Member: The Real Brokerage - https://www.joinreal.com/Connect with Sharran:- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/likesharran- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sharransrivatsaa/- X - https://x.com/sharran- LinkedIn - http://www.linkedin.com/in/sharran- YouTube -

If you feel inflamed, exhausted, stuck in recovery mode, or like your body just doesn't bounce back the way it used to, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Adam Boender, chiropractor-turned-peptide educator, to unpack how men can reclaim their health, energy, and recovery—without shortcuts or hype.   Dr. Adam shares how peptides actually work at the cellular level, why most men don't have a deficiency problem but a communication problem inside their bodies, and how strategic tools like peptides, nutrition, and movement work best when paired with discipline and intention. We go deep on recovery peptides, fat loss versus weight loss, GLP-1 medications, food quality, inflammation, and why no supplement or peptide replaces doing the hard work. This episode is a masterclass in health, responsibility, and long-term performance for men who want their bodies—and lives—back.   Timeline Summary [0:00] Why this episode is for men who feel inflamed, tired, and stuck [1:41] How Larry and Dr. Adam connected after a serious knee injury [2:38] Recovering from a ruptured patellar tendon and the urgency to heal [3:03] Dr. Adam's background as a chiropractor turned peptide educator [3:27] Teaching clinicians how to use peptides safely and effectively [4:08] Why peptides are still misunderstood by most men [6:20] From one-on-one practice to helping clinicians impact thousands [8:38] Family illness and the catalyst for Dr. Adam's career shift [10:16] Why "one-to-many" impact matters in healthcare [11:15] How peptides supported Larry's accelerated recovery [12:23] Getting off crutches and braces weeks ahead of schedule [13:33] Why peptides work best when paired with discipline and rehab [16:12] What peptides actually are and how cellular communication works [18:20] Epitalon: the "reset peptide" for sleep, recovery, and longevity [20:37] BPC-157 as the "multivitamin" of peptides [22:10] Gut health, inflammation, and joint recovery explained [24:17] How BPC-157 increases blood flow and healing in joints [26:13] Recovery break and nutrition fundamentals [28:04] Why BPC-157 and TB-500 are often paired together [29:16] TB-500 and stem cell signaling for tissue repair [31:09] Copper peptide for collagen, joints, and longevity [35:09] Injectable vs. oral peptide absorption [36:21] GLP-1 medications explained simply [38:12] Fat loss vs. weight loss and why protein intake matters [41:03] Why muscle preservation is critical during fat loss [43:03] Genetics, obesity, and the myth of "bad genes" [48:36] Peptides as tools—not magic bullets [50:54] Defining true health as the ability to heal [53:05] Why processed food is breaking our bodies [55:07] Eating real food as the foundation of health [57:32] Fueling your body like a high-performance machine     Five Key Takeaways: Peptides improve cellular communication, but they don't replace discipline, movement, or nutrition.  Inflammation and poor recovery are often communication problems, not deficiencies.  Fat loss is not the same as weight loss, and preserving muscle must be the priority.  Genetics load the gun, but lifestyle pulls the trigger, especially with health outcomes.  True health is the body's ability to heal, not just the absence of disease.      Links & Resources MicroFactor Pack: https://1stphorm.com/products/micro-factor/?a_aid=dadedge Opti-Greens 50: https://1stphorm.com/products/opti-greens-50/?a_aid=dadedge Post-Workout Stack: https://1stphorm.com/products/postworkout-stack?a_aid=dadedge Collagen with Dermaval: https://1stphorm.com/products/collagen-with-dermaval/?a_aid=dadedge Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1434     Closing Remark If this episode challenged how you think about health, recovery, or responsibility, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

It's estimated that organizations spend somewhere between 50% to 200% of an employee's annual salary to replace them, depending on the level and complexity of their role.Not only that, when someone leaves, it impacts morale, our organization, and ultimately our mission. So, it benefits nonprofits to keep our employees.In this episode, we talk to Rachel Platt, an HR leader and people strategist with  over 20 years of experience who helps nonprofits think through their entire talent lifecycle from hiring to exiting.We are exploring the reasons behind the seemingly normal high turnover in the nonprofit sector, the role of learning and development in reversing this talent loss, how to use this to get buy-in, and low-cost ways to develop and engage your staff.▶️ The Real ROI of Reducing Turnover (and How Training Helps) with Rachel Platt ▶️ Key Points:0:00:00 From in-house HR to Plattinum Consulting0:08:45 What's really behind high nonprofit turnover0:12:59 Low-cost ways to develop your staff0:17:55 The far-reaching benefits of training your staff0:24:06 How to get training buy-in from a retention POV0:29:04 What the best learning leaders are doingResources from this episode:Catch up with Episode 103: 5 Low-Cost Leadership Development Activities for Organizations with Tight Budgets.Also listen to Episode 168: Create Environments Where People Stay, Grow, and Thrive with Julie Winkle Giulioni.Join the Nonprofit Learning and Development Collective: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/nonprofit-learning-and-development-collectiveWas this episode helpful?

In this episode, Dr. Kelly Sandberg, Chief Medical Quality Officer and Pediatric Gastroenterologist at Dayton Children's, and Dr. Katherine Winner, Division Chief of Psychiatry at Dayton Children's, discuss the quality improvement initiatives driving lower mental health readmissions. They share how individualized programming, follow up calls, standardized processes, and collaboration are strengthening care across inpatient and crisis settings.

A McGill University study found that childhood adversity combined with altered brain insulin signaling increases metabolic disease risk in women, even before clinical signs like diabetes or heart disease appear Early stress reprograms brain regions that govern reward, impulse control, and energy balance, raising visceral fat storage and disrupting insulin sensitivity decades after the original stress occurred Women with higher brain insulin signaling activity were more vulnerable to metabolic harm from childhood stress, showing greater fat gain and a higher risk for metabolic syndrome than men Stress-related metabolic disruption often remains undetected because changes like visceral fat buildup and inflammation occur below standard clinical thresholds, delaying recognition until the disease is more advanced Reducing ongoing stress, improving insulin sensitivity, limiting linoleic acid (LA) intake, restoring energy production, and supporting hormonal balance can help counteract early stress and lower long-term metabolic risk

If your sport doesn't allow you to bring primary reinforcers onto the competition field with you, then at some point you need to work through removing those reinforcers from your training. This week Shade and I talk about the process of reducing reinforcement while minimizing frustration on the part of both dog and handler. 

We have covered the subject of whether to include the decidual (innermost) layer when closing the uterine incision during cesarean section (CS) on at least 2 episodes. The most recent was in September 2025, when we focused on a published (September 2025) systematic review and meta-analysis from the Green Journal. Back then, we compared those new findings to our prior episode from 2023 on the same matter. Well, we are back at it again with the same subject as there is a new EXPERT REVIEW from the AJOG on hysterotomy closure technique which just came out January 2026. What did these authors conclude? There are also some controversial suggestions made by the authors. Listen in for details. 1. Antoine C, Meyer JA, Silverstein J, Buldo-Licciardi J, Lyu C, Timor-Tritsch IE.

Mindfulness is often recommended for OCD and anxiety — but for many people, it doesn't work the way they were told it would.In this episode of The Restored Minds Show, licensed therapist Matt Codde, LCSW explains why mindfulness fails for OCD and anxiety disorders when it's misused — and how it actually fits into real recovery.If you've tried mindfulness, meditation, or grounding techniques and felt frustrated, guilty, or like you “failed,” this episode will help you understand what really went wrong — and why it wasn't you.Rather than seeing fear, intrusive thoughts, or anxiety as problems to eliminate, Matt explains how misunderstanding the role of mindfulness often turns it into a distraction, a coping strategy, or another form of avoidance — which keeps the anxiety loop going.

Building a premium home services brand goes far beyond offering great marketing or competitive prices; it's about vision, culture, and empowering your team. In this inspiring episode of The Better Than Rich Show, host Mike Abramowitz welcomes legendary business leader and author Cameron Harold (“Vivid Vision”, “Double Double”, “The Second in Command”) for an actionable deep dive into scaling service companies, building lasting culture, and creating real leverage as an owner.  Cameron shares the mindsets and mechanics behind transforming 1-800-GOT-JUNK? from $2 million to over $100 million in six years—explaining five foundational levers every growth-minded business owner should master. The conversation covers vivid visioning, strategic price increases, “cult-like” cultures that attract top talent, free PR, operational delegation, and how leaders truly scale by investing in their people.   Timestamps: [00:00] Intro: Mike welcomes Cameron and sets the stage [00:31] Dream 100 goals, mastermind connections, and Cameron's business journey [09:30] How to make vision part of weekly and quarterly business rhythms [10:39] Why customers care about your growth mission [18:28] Selling to the true decision maker (female buyers) [19:41] Adopting tech early: online booking and increasing direct web sales [22:05] Reducing cost, increasing profits, and meeting modern buyer expectations [23:21] Leveraging PR: Press pitch angles and media momentum [28:30] Sharing wins for lasting impact—Cameron's “Digital Trifecta” method [30:15] The five timeless growth levers for any leader [33:42] Investing in your leaders: training, check-ins, and ongoing development [36:38] Operational skill-testing and real-world coaching for managers [39:08] The case for delegation and avoiding bottlenecks [41:21] Moving from tactician to business builder: mindset and peer learning [43:31] When to hire executive assistants, operations leadership, and COOs [45:14] Structuring your team for growth: revenue, then back-end support [46:12] Sales/marketing launch tactics: branding, visibility, and referral programs [48:31] Optimizing the sales funnel and identifying biggest leverage points [50:35] The importance of visibility on business metrics [51:15] “Better Than Rich”—Cameron shares his life philosophy [52:30] Contact info for Cameron and learning more about COO Alliance  [54:00] Mike's final gratitude and Cameron's closing thoughts  Key Quotes Vision without execution is hallucination. If you don't have an executive assistant, you are one. The path of least resistance is to delegate and grow your people. Employees will listen to an outside expert more than they'll listen to you. You'll always run a small business if you keep saying, I'm the only one who can do this.  Key Takeaways  ● Clarity of vision powers growth — Crafting a detailed “Vivid Vision” rallies teams and unlocks strategic direction. ● Charge like a premium brand — Raising your prices and positioning as the top tier creates margin for excellence and talent. ● Build a culture people want to join — Treat culture as a magnet for employees and customers, not just an internal perk. ● Free PR is your untapped megaphone — Pitching unique, repeatable story angles gets you noticed without a massive budget. ● Invest in your leaders to multiply results — Scaling happens when you consistently develop your managers and delegate with intention.  Links Mentioned  ● Cameron Herold Website: https://cameronherold.com/  ● COOALLIANCE Podcast: https://cooalliance.com/podcasts/  ● Cameron Herold's Books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00845CG2S/allbooks?ingress=0&visitId=ae58d421-3a31-4aa9-8c31-47281e3ee829&store_ref=ap_rdr&ref_=ap_rdr&ccs_id=9c67f461-05f2-4cbf-8974-49aa3571fad1  ● Better Than Rich BTR 

In this episode of FinTech Layer Cake, Reggie Young sits down with Gokul Dhingra, Co-Founder and CEO of Narrative, to unpack how AI is reshaping compliance, oversight, and growth in the fintech ecosystem. Narrative is tackling one of the industry's biggest pain points—the rising cost of compliance and risk management—by turning oversight into a source of efficiency and even competitive advantage.Gokul shares how banks and fintechs can align around shared objectives, why complaints data is an overlooked goldmine for growth, and how Narrative uses AI to reduce operational thrash while keeping humans in the loop. The conversation digs into the misconceptions about AI “hallucinations,” the subtle ways bias shows up in both humans and algorithms, and why empathy is the ultimate differentiator in building trust with customers and regulators alike.If you've wondered what it takes to scale innovation in a highly regulated environment without sacrificing trust—or how AI can be deployed responsibly in financial services—this episode offers a roadmap from someone building it in real time.

Around the world, we're seeing declining sperm counts, rising infertility, more erectile dysfunction, and lower testosterone—even in younger men. These trends aren't just affecting family planning; they're pointing to something much bigger happening in men's health. Joining me today on The Dr. Hyman Show is Dr. Michael Eisenberg, a Stanford researcher and leading voice in male reproductive health. We talk about why sperm quality matters far beyond fertility—and how everyday health choices quietly shape it. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. [YOUTUBE THUMBNAIL] We cover: • Why sperm quality may be one of the strongest early indicators of overall health and longevity • How metabolic dysfunction, belly fat, and low testosterone impact fertility and sexual function • The role environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors play in declining sperm counts • What men can do right now to protect fertility and long-term vitality When we look at fertility through the lens of whole-body health, it changes how we think about prevention, risk, and longevity. Male fertility isn't just about reproduction. It's a signal. Register for The Ultra Learning Series: Functional Fertility on Thursday, February 12 at 12PM ET here.

Did you know that gaslighting doesn't only happen in romantic relationships, but can show up in families, friendships, workplaces, spiritual spaces, and even inside your own mind long after the other person is gone?In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau talks honestly about gaslighting, not as a buzzword, but as something that slowly teaches you to doubt yourself. Your memory. Your feelings. Your intuition. Drawing from her own experience and the work she's done with clients, Susan explains how gaslighting can leave you disconnected from your body, unsure of your truth, and constantly questioning whether you were right or wrong.She shares why the impact of gaslighting often continues long after the relationship or situation has ended, and why that ongoing self-doubt isn't a flaw. It's a survival response. Susan also talks about what healing really looks like, and it's not dramatic or confrontational. It's quiet and reparative. Learning to believe in yourself again. Reducing contact with invalidating energy. Setting clearer boundaries. Letting yourself rest, pause, and be silent without guilt.This episode is a gentle reminder that if you were gaslit, you were not weak. You were trusting, open, and human. Healing begins when you stop looking to others for closure and start choosing yourself, even when it feels uncomfortable.In This Episode:[00:00] Introduction [01:30] Gaslighting beyond romantic relationships[02:46] Defining gaslighting and its effects[04:02] Common phrases and accountability avoidance[05:22] Impact on intuition and self-trust[06:44] Personal experience and disconnection[08:57] Overriding intuition and survival response[10:10] Self-abandonment and explaining pain[11:12] Avoiding invalidating people and relearning self-care[12:18] Reparative self-care and trusting yourself[13:33] Physical responses and recognizing gaslighting[14:37] Slowing down and silence without guilt[15:49] Setting boundaries and reducing exposure[17:46] Distance as protection, not punishment[18:42] Self-love as loyalty and choosing peace[19:47] Why people stay and the role of hope[22:02] Healing feels quieter and rooted[23:13] Freedom from needing admission[24:34] The loop: replaying conversations[25:33] Closure comes from within[26:40] Breaking the loop and nervous system repair[27:47] Longer gaps and present-moment healing[28:53] Self-love means releasing the need for clarity[29:30] Conclusion Notable Quotes[03:26] “You stop asking, ‘Is this okay?' And start asking, ‘Am I okay for feeling this?'”[04:58] “Most gaslighting comes from people who cannot tolerate accountability.”[08:45] “Gaslighting separates you from your inner knowing.”[11:22] “You weren't too much. You were too aware for someone who needed control.”[12:09] “Self-care isn't a bubble bath. It's relearning how to listen to yourself without apology.”[13:24] “Your experience is valid because you lived it.”[19:15] “I choose peace over being right.”[21:18] “Staying doesn't mean you were weak. It means you were human.”[21:39] “Leaving is not a failure. It's wisdom arriving.”[25:53] “The same person who distorted your reality cannot be the one who restores it.”[27:47] “Some chapters do not end with understanding. They end with self-respect.”[28:42] “My peace does not require permission.”Susan GrauSusan Grau is an internationally celebrated intuitive life coach, a key opinion leader, author, medium and speaker, who discovered her ability to communicate with the spirit world after a near-death experience at age four.

When you sit down with several advanced practitioners in building a cybersecure environment, you learn about several factors that will ensure success. These include simplified system procedures, continuous education, and the value of taking visibility to a new level. Everybody reading this has encountered situations where a security initiative is mandated, and it must be applied to legacy systems. This "bolt-on" approach is expensive and frustrating to security professionals who have their hands full with current maintenance projects. Keith Christensen from NETCOM addresses that concern with reviewing automation and reducing the attack surface. For example, with too many applications, the patch process can be time-consuming. Systems must leverage AI to automate patching. The total number of applications must be examined and reduced to minimize the attack surface. Johann Wallace presents a variation on alert fatigue, calling it "task saturation."  He believes AI can help reprioritize tasks that require labor. Continuous education is a part of everyone's job, according to Dr. Matt Turk from DARPA. To that end, they are offering a colloquium on resilient software systems. Brian Meyer from Axonius maintains that visibility matters. It starts with understanding what is on your network and the tools available to solve cybersecurity problems. In fact, modern technology may not solve existing problems.

In today's episode, Steve sits down with Tom Hardin, aka Tipperx — best known for helping expose a massive Wall Street insider trading ring. Steve and Tom discuss early warning signs that an organization might be crossing ethical or legal lines, how to build an organizational culture that promotes openness and protects from insider threats, and how to get employees to buy into things like good cyber hygiene.Key Takeaways: The most underappreciated leadership skill is listening. Compliance must never be an afterthought or just a check-box exercise.  Anybody has the potential to become an insider threat. Tune in to hear more about: The fraud triangle (4:10) How cybersecurity leaders can build a culture that discourages insider risk (7:12) Striking a balance between trust and control (15:12) Standout Quotes: “But you don't get people to speak up by telling them to speak up. You actually have to, if you're gonna tell them to do that, you have to listen up. So I always encourage leadership to work on their listening skills.” - Tom Hardin “If you have a rule that a few people break, you have a people problem. If you have a rule that a lot of people are breaking, you have a rule problem.” - Tom Hardin “You could be one decision away. Never feel like it couldn't be you. Just have a healthy paranoia when you're in situations and not to feel like that could never be me crossing a line, because that's when we're most susceptible to that.” - Tom Hardin Read the transcript of this episodeSubscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcastsConnect with us on LinkedIn and TwitterFrom the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

You ever feel like you're becoming someone new on the inside… but your life hasn't caught up yet? Like you're evolving, expanding, raising your standards — but your schedule, obligations, and energy are still organized for an older version of you? This episode is for the high achiever who's tired of hustling harder just to feel more depleted. Because becoming “unrecognizable” isn't about a glow-up, a new aesthetic, or a rebrand on Instagram. It's about upgrading the systems holding your life together — so you can grow without burning yourself out in the process. In this episode, I'm breaking down why hustle culture keeps ambitious women stuck, how burnout actually sneaks up on high performers, and why self-care alone won't fix what outdated life structures are breaking. Why rebranding yourself has nothing to do with aesthetics — and everything to do with structure The hidden identity lag keeping high achievers exhausted and stuck How emotional context switching drains your energy without you realizing it Why burnout isn't a motivation problem — it's a systems problem The real reason discipline stops working at higher levels of responsibility How hustle culture convinces you to do more when your life needs better support What becoming “unrecognizable” actually looks like in real life (hint: it's quieter than you think) Why self-care won't stick if your life infrastructure hasn't evolved How rebranding yourself requires fewer explanations, clearer boundaries, and stronger systems If you've been trying to step into your next level but keep feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or emotionally exhausted — this episode will help you see why. Because high achievers don't burn out from laziness or lack of ambition. They burn out from carrying too much without enough structure. You're ambitious, capable, and still constantly tired You're outgrowing hustle culture but don't know what replaces it You feel like your life can't hold the version of you you're becoming You're craving calm, clarity, and momentum — not just more productivity You're rebranding yourself internally, but your systems haven't caught up Becoming unrecognizable is not about becoming someone else. It's about finally living in a way that matches who you already are. And if your ambition has outgrown the way your life is set up right now — that's not a failure. That's a signal. That's exactly why I created The Reset Room — a private membership for ambitious women who want to grow, earn, and lead at a higher level without sacrificing their energy, peace, or capacity. Inside The Reset Room, we focus on: Reclaiming 10–15 hours a week through better systems (not more hustle) Reducing mental load and decision fatigue Building boundaries that don't require constant explanation Creating structure that actually supports your next level If you're done forcing yourself through burnout and ready to rebrand your life from the inside out, this is where that shift happens.

In this solo episode, Darin dives into one of the most universal modern experiences: the feeling that time is accelerating. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and lived experience, he breaks down why time doesn't actually speed up, but our experience of it radically changes. From the impact of digital distraction and divided attention to the way novelty, memory, aging, and even COVID reshaped our internal sense of time, this episode offers both clarity and agency. Darin shows how reclaiming attention, breaking monotony, and creating richer experiences can give us the feeling of having our time back.     What You'll Learn Why time measured by a clock is different from time experienced by the brain How attention, memory, and emotion construct subjective time Why boredom feels slow while flow states feel fast How novelty creates richer memories and longer-feeling lives The role of routine and monotony in time compression How digital technology fragments attention and erases memory Why social media scrolling makes time disappear without satisfaction How COVID disrupted temporal landmarks and distorted time perception Why time feels faster as we age The neuroscience behind memory density and perceived duration Whether time itself is an illusion or a constructed experience Practical ways to slow down your experience of time How breaking routine restores a sense of fullness and presence Why life is measured in experiences, not seconds     Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the exploration of time 00:00:32 – Sponsor: TheraSage and frequency-based healing 00:02:16 – Why time feels like it's speeding up 00:03:07 – Measured time vs experienced time 00:03:39 – Subjective time and how the brain constructs duration 00:04:38 – Boredom, flow, and why time feels slow or fast 00:05:20 – Memory density and time compression 00:05:42 – Clock models vs attention and memory models 00:06:13 – Novelty, travel, and rich experiences 00:06:34 – Routine, repetition, and unremarkable days 00:07:21 – Divided attention and disappearing moments 00:07:56 – The digital shift and fragmented attention post-2000 00:08:30 – Micro-stimulation and wasted time 00:09:12 – Why scrolling doesn't equal flow 00:09:46 – Social acceleration and modern life 00:10:25 – COVID as a global experiment in time perception 00:10:55 – Loss of temporal landmarks during lockdown 00:11:57 – Sponsor: Caldera Lab and clean skincare 00:13:39 – Research on monotony and time compression 00:14:40 – Aging, fewer neural events, and faster time 00:15:30 – Childhood vs adulthood time perception 00:16:22 – Is time real or constructed? 00:16:57 – Physics, relativity, and subjective experience 00:17:56 – How to slow down your experience of time 00:18:12 – Novelty, adventure, and memory creation 00:19:00 – Sustained attention vs multitasking 00:19:37 – Breaking monotony in daily life 00:20:06 – Reducing digital distraction 00:20:25 – Enjoying life as a scientific practice 00:20:49 – Time as memory, not seconds 00:21:08 – Gaining agency over your experience of life 00:21:29 – Creating a richer year through experience 00:22:10 – Curiosity, adventure, and Darin's fascination with time 00:23:27 – Closing thoughts and call to action     Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Caldera Lab: Experience the clinically proven benefits of Caldera Lab's clean skincare regimen and enjoy 20% off your order by visiting calderalab.com/darin and using code DARIN at checkout.     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Find More from Darin Olien: Instagram: @darinolien Podcast: SuperLife Podcast Website: superlife.com Book: Fatal Conveniences     Key Takeaway Time isn't speeding up — your brain is compressing it.

In this week episode, Heath Shearon and Casey Nelson discuss the importance of standardizing processes in agencies, the impact of AI on business, and the potential societal reset from reducing screen time. They explore the challenges of implementing consistent procedures, the role of AI in modern companies, and the cultural shift towards more face-to-face interactions. The conversation also touches on the hypothetical scenario of shutting down the internet for six months and its potential effects on society. Additionally, they delve into personal anecdotes, the significance of setting goals, and the evolving landscape of the insurance industry.TakeawaysStandardizing processes is crucial for agency efficiency.AI is transforming business operations significantly.Reducing screen time could lead to a societal reset.Consistent procedures help in minimizing wasteful practices.Face-to-face interactions are becoming more valued.The internet shutdown could have profound societal effects.Agencies should focus on their most profitable clients.Building processes should involve employee input.AI tools can be both time-saving and time-consuming.Cultural shifts are moving towards more personal interactions.Setting personal goals can drive professional growth.Understanding industry trends is key to staying competitive.Chapters00:00:00 Introduction and Technical Issues00:01:00 Standardizing Processes in Agencies00:01:55 AI's Impact on Business00:15:55 Cultural Shifts and Screen Time00:20:19 Hypothetical Internet Shutdown00:25:00 Personal Goals and Anecdotes00:30:00 Insurance Industry TrendsSponsors:Smart ChoiceCanopy ConnectMAV

Can a phased transition built on price taste and convenience overcome identity, culture, and religion in shaping diets? Which mix of informational, financial, and regulatory policies shifts behavior without backlash? Where is the line between small humane farms that persist and large systems that must end? How do we align consumer values with daily choices when cognitive dissonance makes the topic uncomfortable? When does a little guilt motivate change and when does it harden resistance? What evidence would show that plant-based and cultivated options have reached parity that tips the market? How do we protect farmers and workers while shrinking harmful production at scale? What are the realistic tipping points for social norms around meat in different communities? If the expected suffering avoided each year dwarfs human history how should that reshape priorities?

On this week's live version of Political Breakfast, Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and host Lisa Rayam examine Georgia Governor Brian Kemp's last budget. Kemp laid it all out in his final 'State of the State' address last week, where he also set his priorities at the start of the legislative session. His budget includes a billion in tax rebates for Georgians, a 20-point reduction of the state income tax, a two thousand dollar check for teachers and other state employees and a new need-based scholarship for those attending Georgia colleges and universities. It also includes nearly 2 billion for new toll lanes on I-75 south of Atlanta, to unclog the interstate, and more money for money for new interchanges on Georgia 316 and local road projects.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.  Guest: Stephen Kopecky, M.D.  One of the biggest surprises we've seen in medicine in the past several years has been the numerous health benefits realized from the GLP-1 agonists. Originally developed for the management of diabetes, they've shown significant potential to improve cardiovascular risks, beyond controlling blood glucose and lowering hemoglobin A1c. Several studies have shown reductions in cardiovascular events including MI, stroke as well as reducing overall cardiovascular death. What is the mechanism of action for these cardiovascular benefits? Are there any differences in the various GLP-1 medications available and who's a candidate for a GLP-1 medication? I'll get answers to all of these questions and more in this podcast as I speak with Dr. Stephen Kopecky, a preventive cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic. We'll be discussing “GLP-1 Agonists and Reducing Cardiovascular Risk”.  Rx for Weight Loss: A Closer Look Series | Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development  Learn more at https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts

(6:00) You can purchase the NSNG® E-book for a small fee at https://nsng.vinnietortorich.com/product/intro-to-nsng/ What meats can you eat? What are the possibilities? (12:30) It's not required that you eat grass-fed or organic meats—eat what you can afford. Many times, you can find a local small farmer and buy a portion of beef or pork at a discount. What about processed meats like bacon, salami, and cold cuts? (18:00) How bacon is cured makes a difference. (19:00) Cold cuts can be acceptable on occasion, but they often have additives. Eggs are a fantastic food—completely nutrient-dense! (26:00) Good, real, whole milk cheeses, kefir, and full-fat Greek yogurt are all great choices. Don't be afraid of real heavy cream. Try to find one without any additives, if possible. Vinnie emphasizes that you can't eat *anything* with impunity, meaning you can't go rogue and overeat, even if you're eating healthy options. (20:00) Moving on to vegetables and fruits. (32:30) Leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables are your best bet. Onions and peppers are great, too. Enjoy savory fruits like avocado, tomatoes, and olives, but they also discuss citrus, berries, and eating fruit in season. (35:00) Nuts: High-fat nuts like pili and macadamia are the best; however, you can enjoy some others, but be careful—it doesn't take many to overdo them. (46:00) If you are trying to be vegan on NSNG, beans are a better source of nutrients than grains. If you are a vegetarian, eating eggs, cheese, and nuts is recommended to boost your protein intake. The Sweet Stuff They chat about "sweet treats." (53:00) Reducing your intake of sweet treats will change your taste buds for the better. Anna explains the intention behind including sweet treats in her cookbooks. They are meant to be just that—a treat for an occasion! Stay away from "grain-free" chips! They are made from ingredients like cassava and other root flours, which are very high in carbs.

McKay delves into the power to be found in shifting our perspective from suspicion to grace. He notes that, by choosing to believe the best in others, we bridge the social gaps that often leave us feeling isolated or misunderstood.Moving beyond the "Liking Gap," where we underestimate how much others value us, this episode examines how "positive attribution bias" can revolutionize leadership and personal resilience. McKay shares compelling accounts - from Satya Nadella's cultural shift at Microsoft to a principal uncovering the hidden struggles of a defiant student - to prove that understanding often lies just beneath the surface of a mistake. He also recounts the importance of self-belief through the lens of Miss USA Rachel Smith's recovery from a public fall and the mental fortitude of Olympic marathoners. Ultimately, our host challenges us to "lighten up" and replace judgment with curiosity, showing that giving the benefit of the doubt is not just a gift to others, but a pathway to our own peace.Main Themes:We are generally more liked and respected than our anxieties suggest.Intentionally assuming good intent reduces stress and fosters collaboration.Leadership improves when we prioritize understanding the "why" behind missed goals.Disruptive behavior often dissolves once a person's underlying struggles are seen.A strong internal belief window carries us through public failures and misfortunes.Reducing self-criticism and catastrophizing opens doors for new opportunities.Asking "I wonder what their day was like?" creates a buffer for compassion.Top 10 Quotes:"People give us the benefit of the doubt more often than not.""When you assume the best, people give you their best.""If we had judged him by the missed deadline alone, we would have punished the guy who saved us.""People rise to the story they think you believe about them.""Suspicion invites bitterness; generosity invites peace.""Once a student feels understood, disruptive behaviors often dissolve.""Giving the benefit of the doubt often means giving away your doubts.""All things are possible to him that believeth.""The belief you hold will be the ground in which seeds of hope grow in times of uncertainty.""Giving the benefit of the doubt turns tension into understanding, turns suspicion into connection, and turns judgment into grace."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

The resignation of Madison Sheahan, an ICE deputy director to run for Congress might look like a routine political move, but it says more about the internal state of immigration enforcement than any press release. ICE is increasingly being pulled between two competing instincts: governing and performing. Tom Homan represents the former, focused on operational reality and risk management. Kristi Noem represents the latter, treating enforcement as a political identity meant to generate headlines and loyalty. Those approaches are not compatible, and when senior officials start eyeing exits into electoral politics, it usually means the institution itself is under strain.On Capitol Hill, leadership is once again trying to stitch together a spending package just robust enough to avoid a shutdown. Progress exists, but only in the narrowest technical sense. Most discretionary funding is unresolved, and Homeland Security remains the pressure point. That is intentional. Immigration funding is leverage, and no one wants to give it up before extracting political value. The result is a familiar pattern: public urgency, private hesitation, and a quiet hope that the consequences land after the next recess.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

It should be getting more attention than it is. Reducing reliance on China for rare earths and other key materials is not a culture war issue. It is basic national security planning. In a Congress addicted to short-term fights, this stood out as an example of lawmakers thinking beyond the next headline or election cycle.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:56 - Interview with Anna Gorisch00:27:17 - Update00:28:16 - Senate Spending Package00:29:27 - Madison Sheahan Resignation00:32:20 - Mineral Reserve00:33:27 - Interview with Anna Gorisch, con't01:13:44 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Inflammation is at the center of many of today's most common chronic diseases — but what if the real starting point isn't where most people think?   In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, host Chuck Carroll is joined by gastroenterologist and best-selling author Dr. Will Bulsiewicz for a wide-ranging and deeply human conversation about gut health, chronic inflammation, and the hidden role that stress, loneliness, and modern lifestyle play in making us sick.   Drawing from his new book Plant-Powered Plus, Dr. Bulsiewicz explains why the gut is a central command center for the immune system and the brain, and how dysfunction in the microbiome can drive everything from digestive distress to depression, anxiety, and long-term disease. He also opens up about his own personal health journey — including burnout, weight gain, and metabolic illness — and how healing his gut transformed both his life and his medical practice.   This episode goes beyond food to explore the science of the brain-gut-immune connection, the impact of chronic stress and isolation on inflammation, and why true healing requires more than just changing what's on your plate. If you've ever felt successful on the outside but unwell on the inside, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and hope.  

In this solo episode, Darin breaks down one of the most misunderstood drivers of behavior change: environment. We've been taught that success comes down to discipline, motivation, and willpower, but neuroscience tells a very different story. Darin explains how modern environments hijack the brain's reward system, override conscious choice, and quietly shape habits before we even realize it. This episode is a practical, science-backed roadmap for redesigning your surroundings so healthy behaviors become automatic and self-sabotaging patterns lose their grip.     What You'll Learn Why willpower is a weak and unreliable backup system How your environment shapes behavior before conscious choice The neuroscience behind cues, habits, and automatic behavior Why modern food and tech are engineered to hijack dopamine How stress amplifies cravings and impulsive behavior The link between cortisol, dopamine, and habit formation Why changing your environment works better than "trying harder" How visual cues influence food choices and cravings Why phones, notifications, and color overstimulate the brain Simple ways to design a SuperLife environment that supports your goals     Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of sovereignty 00:00:33 – Sponsor: TruNiagen NAD⁺ supplements and why verification matters 00:02:18 – Introducing today's topic: environment vs willpower 00:02:42 – Why willpower has been misunderstood 00:03:18 – Willpower as a weak backup system 00:03:32 – How surroundings shape habits automatically 00:03:53 – The neuroscience of behavior change 00:04:01 – Dopamine hijacking in modern life 00:04:14 – Designing environments that make good habits automatic 00:05:06 – Why this topic matters more than ever 00:05:46 – External cues and automatic brain responses 00:06:18 – Hippocampus, basal ganglia, and habit loops 00:06:55 – Nudge theory and environmental design 00:07:31 – Why willpower shouldn't lead behavior change 00:07:55 – Food cues, stress, and cravings 00:08:20 – Phones, notifications, and dopamine overload 00:09:05 – Reward prediction and cue-driven behavior 00:10:02 – Redesigning environments to reduce addiction 00:10:34 – Stress hormones and habit reinforcement 00:11:30 – Sponsor: Our Place non-toxic cookware 00:13:34 – Stress, scrolling, and lost time 00:14:26 – Junk food, stress, and compulsive eating 00:15:12 – How environmental cues shift food desire 00:15:28 – Engineered foods and reward circuits 00:16:09 – Tech cues, stress, and attention hijacking 00:17:06 – Practical solutions: designing a SuperLife environment 00:17:48 – Kitchen setup and visual food cues 00:18:41 – Workspace design and single-purpose zones 00:19:08 – Reducing digital dopamine triggers 00:19:32 – Using grayscale mode on your phone 00:20:32 – Social environment and behavior modeling 00:21:21 – Community, support, and the SuperLife Patreon 00:22:18 – Bringing nature into your home 00:23:19 – Environment influences habits more than willpower 00:23:52 – Why inaction keeps you stuck 00:24:13 – Changing your environment to change your life 00:24:26 – Closing thoughts and call to action     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Our Place: Non-toxic cookware that keeps harmful chemicals out of your food.
