Indiana sustainability strategy is shifting from pollution prevention alone to resource efficiency, circular economy, water reuse and supply chain resilience. Paul Melillo, director of business development and principal at Metric Environmental, explains how the Indiana Partners for Sustainability is making that transition as it prepares for its 29th annual conference Sept. 10 in Indianapolis.Melillo describes the voluntary Partners Pledge, which asks member companies to identify sustainability improvements, attend events and report annual metrics on materials, landfill disposal, recycling and energy use. He makes the economic case in simple terms: businesses pay for waste when they buy materials and again when they dispose of them. Reducing waste can cut costs while improving environmental performance.The discussion also previews the conference program, including keynote speaker Bruno Pigott, executive director of the WateReuse Association, the Governor's Award for Excellence, and concurrent afternoon tracks focused on sustainability success stories and water. Melillo says water demand tied to data centers and major manufacturing developments is likely to be part of the conversation, alongside PFAS and infrastructure planning.Looking beyond the conference, Melillo argues that Indiana businesses need to prepare for more supply chain transparency, product life cycle scrutiny, carbon footprint reporting, water-use disclosure and recycling expectations. The organization supports members through quarterly facility meetings, peer sharing, consulting partners and a recorded library of more than 200 presentations.Learn more at inpartnersforsustainability.org.

09 01 26 Reducing Compaction by Ag PhD
He sold his pool company from the middle of a world cruise, then came home with a sharper take on where pool service is headed. Harold Evans returns to the Poohway Podcast Show to share the wild logistics of closing a deal while traveling, why Hasa felt like the right long-term partner for his brand, and what he's learned after years of building tools and training for working pool pros.From there, we get practical and opinionated about what actually creates value in a backyard. We talk Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) and why balanced water is about protecting heaters, surfaces, and warranties, not just “passing” a test kit. Harold explains why reducing friction matters, how an LSI app helps techs make better calls faster, and why teaching the “why” beats handing out rote habits that break the moment conditions change.We also take on the uncomfortable business side: customers watching service visits on cameras, inflation crushing margins, and the temptation to do less work for the same price. Harold makes the case that chem-only service and every-other-week stops can become expectation traps, especially as DIY pool owners gain access to Amazon parts, AI-driven advice, and endless online info. We close with a bigger industry lens on online education, trade shows, consumer demand, consolidation, and what it takes to stay profitable without racing to the bottom.If you want more profit, fewer headaches, and a pool service business that can compete in the DIY era, listen now, then subscribe, share this with a pool pro friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.We catch up with Harold Evans on how his family business sale came together mid-cruise and why he believes education is still the strongest differentiator for pool pros. We dig into LSI, the real cost of “faster” service, and how DIY tools, Amazon, and inflation are forcing the pool industry to rethink value.• The behind-the-scenes story of selling a pool company while traveling• Why education beats product-pushing for long-term customer trust• What LSI is for and why it is not a sanitation metric• Reducing friction so busy techs actually use water balance tools• Why spending less time on-site can destroy perceived value• The risks of chem-only and every-other-week service models• How inflation quietly erodes profit when rates do not change• DIY customers, AI, and Amazon reshaping parts access and expectations• Distribution inventory pressure and why pros are ordering online more• Online training vs trade shows and why consumer education mattersJoin the Pool Guy Coaching Program.

Could allowing patients to choose their own appointment times help reduce missed visits and shorten NHS waiting lists? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Alison MacDonald, European Lead and Senior Vice President at Nordic Global. Alison brings an unusual combination of clinical and technology experience as a registered nurse who moved into digital health over 15 years ago. Her career began in community nursing, where she was asked to lead an electronic health record project because colleagues thought she was good with computers. What initially appeared to be a simple exercise in converting paper forms into digital records encouraged her to question whether healthcare could redesign the process rather than copy it onto a screen. We discuss Nordic's work with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust on patient self-scheduling and automated earlier appointment offers. Before the program, missed outpatient appointments were removing valuable clinical capacity while administrative teams spent time calling patients and rearranging bookings. Cambridge introduced self-scheduling through Epic MyChart, allowing patients to select appointment times through the patient portal. Alison says the DNA rate fell from 5% to 2.2% during the program. According to the supplied results, over 20,000 patients successfully scheduled their own appointments and over 3,000 accepted offers to attend earlier when cancellations created availability. Patients moved appointments forward by an average of 16 days. Forty percent of accepted earlier appointments occurred within seven days of the offer, while 7% took place on the same or following day. Administrative teams also saved an estimated ten minutes for every self-booked appointment. Alison explains why patient control can improve attendance. People can choose times that work around employment, caring responsibilities, travel, and family life instead of receiving a fixed appointment through a letter or telephone call. Patients can also cancel or reschedule without waiting for somebody to answer the phone. The operational lesson goes beyond appointment booking. Healthcare systems may be able to recover existing capacity by examining missed appointments, theater scheduling, waiting list processes, pre-visit questionnaires, and patient communications before concluding that every problem requires additional staff or facilities. We also discuss where AI is producing practical results in healthcare. Alison points to medical imaging, emergency department triage, waiting list management, clinical documentation, and workforce deployment. She warns against discussing AI as one generic solution because each application requires a defined use case, suitable data, workable processes, governance, and staff adoption. Ambient clinical documentation offers one example. An AI scribe can record a consultation, prepare a structured note, and pass it to the clinician for review and correction. Alison cites an NHS evaluation reporting a 23.5% increase in direct patient interaction time and an 8.2% reduction in appointment length. Interoperability remains another major challenge. Healthcare journeys cross hospitals, primary care, community services, and specialist providers that may use different systems or a mixture of electronic and paper records. Even basic differences, such as one organization measuring pain on a five-point scale and another using ten points, can prevent reliable comparison. Alison recommends agreeing on common data standards, defining the minimum patient information required during care transitions, including interoperability requirements in procurement, and avoiding bespoke integrations that make future information sharing harder. Digital access also requires balance. Online services can improve convenience, but healthcare providers must retain appropriate alternatives for patients who lack digital skills, connectivity, confidence, or access. Could your healthcare organization improve patient access and staff capacity by redesigning one familiar process before purchasing another large technology platform? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts with me.

Late August and early September are important times for migrating butterflies like monarchs, swallowtails, and painted ladies, and the plants in our gardens can make a real difference. This week, Joanne shares simple ways to support butterflies by providing the right host and nectar plants, even if you only have a small garden, a patio, or a few containers. Some of the topics covered in this week's episode: Host plants are just as important as nectar plants: Learn the difference between plants butterflies feed from and the specific host plants they need for laying eggs and feeding caterpillars. Late summer is an important time to support migrating butterflies: The garden season may feel like it is winding down, but late-August and early-September butterflies still need reliable food sources before migration. A butterfly-friendly garden is part of a healthier, more biodiverse garden: Reducing harsh chemical use — and tolerating some caterpillar feeding — will help create a diverse garden that supports butterflies, other beneficial insects and ultimately birds as well.

Edmund Fitton-Brown critiques the term "economic D-Day," explaining that Pakistan's mediation in Iran is self-interested, driven by fears of secondary US sanctions. These sanctions have suffocated Iran's economy, reducing oil exports and sparking hyperinflation. Iraq also struggles with contradictory policies, balancing its US alliance with pro-Iranian gestures, such as securing tanker passage through the Strait of Hormuz. In the Red Sea, the Houthis demand tribute from Saudi Arabia to halt attacks on tankers and pipelines. Fitton-Brown warns that paying the Houthis only delays their long-term expansionist goals against Saudi territory and Israel. (7)
Wall Street has declared yet another “year of the stock picker.” Don and Tom examine Morningstar and SPIVA data showing how few active large-cap funds beat their benchmarks—and why high fees, trading costs, taxes, short horizons, and fierce competition keep the odds tilted toward low-cost diversification.Then Greg asks where stocks and bonds belong while he begins Roth conversions. The discussion covers asset location, small-cap value exposure, international diversification, tax brackets, IRMAA, and keeping the portfolio's overall risk level intact.Finally, they tackle an all-U.S. Roth for a 20-year-old, a couple's pre-retirement glide path, and a pricey Fidelity target-date fund that can be replaced inside a Roth without creating a tax bill.

Innovation comes in many areas, and compliance professionals need to not only be ready for it but also embrace it. Join Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, as he visits with top innovative minds, thinkers, and creators in the award-winning Innovation in Compliance podcast. In this episode, host Tom visits with Brian Holyfield, Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer at SendSafely. Holyfield discusses why the right compliance question on cybersecurity is not whether a breach will happen but when and what data will be exposed, often through vendors. He explains “blast radius” as the scope of access and data reachable during an incident and argues organizations should prioritize architecture, data minimization, and retention controls alongside prevention. He also highlights risks from accumulated file attachments, overbroad user access, interconnected systems using OAuth tokens, and “standing access” via long-lived machine credentials that can be abused without obvious login anomalies. Holyfield discusses examples involving ServiceNow and Salesforce that illustrate platform vulnerabilities, trusted upstream vendor connections, and end-user compromise, and advises leaders to inventory connections, define retention/archiving, and move sensitive data out of frontline platforms; SendSafely positions itself as an end-to-end encrypted trust layer, including for AI chatbot attachments.

Most people dread PCS season for how much it drains the bank account — Jared flips it into a $7,500 payday. Back on the show, the host of the Military Miler podcast breaks down the exact moves he used moving his family from Italy to Japan: circuitous travel memos, leave in conjunction with official travel, stacking credit card credits, and pocketing thousands in COLA and utilities along the way. But this one goes deeper than travel hacking — it's a candid conversation about budgeting overseas, why your savings rate should bend to your values, and the trap of chasing financial independence so hard you forget to live. Practical tactics up front, real talk about "enjoying the ride" on the back half. Questions Asked: What's the strategy you're using to plus up your bank account before your next OCONUS assignment? Why did your chief recommend NOT going TDY en route, and how does transient BAH factor in? How does circuitous travel work, and how much does the Air Force reimburse per person? How do programs like LICWO (Leave in Conjunction with Official Travel) and circuitous travel actually save families money? What credit card moves are you stacking to get reimbursed for flights, fees, and pet travel? Living OCONUS, have you found any apps, tips, or systems that help track expenses and stick to a budget? Why did you switch from YNAB to Monarch Money, and what won you over? How do you handle irregular overseas bills, currency exchange, and fuel cards when budgeting? Which credit cards make sense overseas (foreign transaction fees, Visa/Mastercard acceptance)? How do you decide between living on base vs. off base — and paying above your BAH? What do you give up by chasing an extremely high savings rate, and is there a better balance? Where can people find you and what are you working on? Main Topics Covered: Turning a PCS into a profit: banking ~$2,500/month in saved COLA and utilities for a ~$7,500 net gain Circuitous travel and LICWO explained — and getting a $4,500-per-person reimbursement memo "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" — advocating for better travel options instead of accepting the worst flights Keeping family in a higher-BAH location, SCRA lease breaks, and shipping goods early to save Reducing the PCS burden on your spouse as part of the service member's job Credit card strategy: airline fee credits (Amex Platinum, Ritz-Carlton), Sapphire Reserve travel credits, and getting cat/pet fees reimbursed Budgeting overseas: YNAB vs. Monarch Money, auto-categorization, and creating spending rules Handling irregular utility bills, delayed charges, currency swings, and fuel cards abroad Building a bigger emergency fund and "don't spend your utility money" advice for new OCONUS airmen Foreign transaction fees — why annual-fee cards (waived for active duty) and Visa/Mastercard win overseas Weekly money meetings and aligning spending with your values (h/t Rebel Finance School, Ramit Sethi) Using points and miles to fly family in, book cheap intra-Asia trips, and buy "free" wants (Sonos speakers) A real-world redemption: 27,000 Alaska points + $150 vs. $1,600 cash for family flights Seasons of military life — the adventure vs. community continuum, and choosing per assignment The FIRE trap: why "sacrifice everything now" is shortsighted, and enjoying the ride to financial independence Bonus: Japanese microvans and minivans (Honda N-Box, Toyota Alphard, Delica) and the weak yen Links & Resources Mentioned: Military Miler podcast (YouTube and all podcast platforms) militarytravelrewards.com Monarch Money https://www.monarch.com/ (referral link for ~50% off first year) https://www.monarch.com/referral?code=iqj4r4ixad Military Money Manual mentorship — militarymoneymanual.com/mentor Referenced first appearance: Military Money Manual episode 217 Spencer and Jamie offer one-on-one Military Money Mentor sessions.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., is joined by Amanda Sattler, PhilD, consultant and researcher with Amanda Sattler Consulting, to examine fundraiser burnout and why solving it requires more than self-care. Drawing on more than 20 years of fundraising experience, including two significant periods of burnout in her own career, Sattler explains that fundraisers can be physically, mentally, emotionally, and relationally healthy and still struggle when their organizations fail to provide adequate resources, support, and shared leadership. Fundraisers have a responsibility to care for and advocate for themselves, but organizations and sector leaders must also recognize burnout as a systemic issue. Sattler describes several workplace conditions that can contribute to burnout, including excessive workload, lack of fairness, conflicting values, and weak relationships. Because the causes differ, the solutions must differ as well. Reducing workload may not solve a fairness problem, just as higher compensation may not address isolation. Effective responses require diagnosing the real issue and building stronger partnerships among fundraisers, CEOs, supervisors, boards, and colleagues. Bill and Amanda also discuss the challenge of “leading up” when fundraisers are not in the organization's ultimate decision-making role. Sattler encourages fundraisers to raise concerns before burnout reaches a crisis and to connect those conversations to organizational outcomes. Investments in staffing, technology, training, and other resources are not simply employee benefits. They directly affect fundraising capacity and, ultimately, mission delivery. The conversation then expands to the nonprofit sector's long-standing scarcity mindset and the “myth of overhead.” Using the job demands-resources model, Sattler explains that burnout becomes more likely when demands consistently exceed available resources. External pressures such as the COVID-19 pandemic or losses in government funding can intensify the problem, but often reveal organizational fragility that already existed because of chronic underinvestment in people, systems, fundraising capacity, and indirect costs. Sattler proposes a different approach: “human-centered stewardship,” where sustaining the people responsible for generating and deploying resources is treated as part of responsible nonprofit management. She also encourages fundraisers to build connections outside their organizations through professional associations, peer communities, training, and continuing education. Those relationships may not solve internal challenges, but they can provide critical support and perspective. The central takeaway is simple: caring for fundraisers is not separate from caring for the mission. Creating sustainable conditions for the people responsible for generating resources is essential to creating sustainable impact.
Most whole life advice stops at the sales illustration. This episode is the conversation that should happen after it. Brandon and Brantley walk through eight details that sit quietly in the background until the day they matter. None is a reason to run from whole life. Each is a spot where an early wrong assumption turns into disappointment years later. What we cover: Income projections assume two things nobody knows: the year your income stops and a flat dividend rate for life. Our fix is to plan around 5% of cash value at the start, not the number the software solves for. Paid-up addition flexibility has limits, and they differ by company. Cross one you did not know about and you risk permanently capping how much goes in. The waiver of premium rider is weaker than it sounds. The definition of disability turns strict fast, it is priced high, and on most whole life it will not cover your paid-up additions. Reducing the death benefit often improves cash value. A real lever, with tax traps in the first fifteen years. Not a do-it-yourself move. Term blending belongs in a cash-focused policy. The term rider raises your death benefit, which raises how much you are allowed to put into paid-up additions. Dividends tend to decline as you age. Rising insurance costs eat the dividend, and people who take the leftover as cash get caught when it no longer covers the premium. Ten-pay is not automatically the best cash builder. A longer-pay policy funded with paid-up additions often matches it and keeps your options open. High early cash value is a business product. A bigger year-one number in exchange for weaker long-term growth. Usually the wrong trade for an individual. Know what you own, and the policy still makes sense to you in year twenty.

As you grow as an engineer, something counterintuitive happens: the systems you build get simpler, not more complex. In this episode, I explore why senior engineers tend to collapse abstractions, accept certain risks, and reduce the surface area they're responsible for — and what drives that shift underneath the surface. Understanding the reasons behind the trend is what lets you get there on purpose instead of waiting a decade to arrive there accidentally. Early in your career, output goes up fast. You're building more than ever, especially with AI in the mix, and a lot of what you build carries real complexity. But watch engineers who have been doing this a long time and you'll notice the opposite of what you'd expect: as their craft improves, their code, their architectures, and their systems get simpler. In today's episode, I dig into why that happens — and why chasing simplicity directly is less useful than understanding the underlying forces that produce it. Simplicity Isn't the Goal — It's the Byproduct: Trying to "make things simpler" as a directive doesn't get you very far. If you can understand the core reasons complexity tends to fall as engineers mature, you can aim at those reasons instead and arrive at simplicity organically. Why Simpler Code Pays Off: Simpler things are easier to understand, which means junior engineers can pick up your code, and future-you can return to a project you've long since left and still make sense of it. Adapting a simple thing is almost always easier than adapting a complex one. The Pain of the Refactor Teaches You: A big part of this shift is scar tissue. Once you've lived through a massive refactor of a complex system, you start making different trade-offs — not from theory, but because you don't want to do that again. Collapsing Vertical Abstractions: One of the most common refactors senior engineers reach for is collapsing long chains of abstraction that only ever get used in one place. It's abstraction without reuse, and it forces you to re-load enormous context just to make a small change. Refining Your Risk Tolerance: Early on, we hedge against every possible risk. Later, we learn some risks are acceptable. Hedging is insurance, and sometimes it's very expensive insurance — paid in velocity, in onboarding difficulty, and in only being able to hire people who can hold all that complexity in their heads. Knowing When to Break Best Practices: Maybe the best practice says abstract this. But if it isn't that hard to understand, and you can get most of the benefit through better naming or tighter scoping, the "correct" move might be the wrong one. The Library Trap (In Both Directions): Seniors often take a trip through "let's not use external packages, we don't know what's in them" — and end up maintaining a shadow version of the thing they avoided. The more experienced call is often to accept the trade-off, adopt the well-documented dependency, and shrink what you are responsible for. Reducing Surface Area Creates Focus: The through-line in all of these trade-offs is a shrinking surface area. Fewer things to maintain means more focus, and more focus means the things you are responsible for get done very well. It's an open question whether those behaviors follow seniority or cause it. Drive to the Fundamentals: Think about a machine built from a ramp, a screw, a rubber band, and a motor. A more senior craftsperson recognizes the problem is fundamentally about conservation of energy, and reconfigures it down to two parts instead of eight. Slightly less efficient, maybe — but far less to teach, maintain, and break. Episode Homework: Ask yourself: what am I responsible for right now that I could simplify? Where can I get away from the tactics and the surface-level stuff, get down to the core of the thing, and focus on doing that core really well?

Then a replay of what was, for most of this show's run, its most popular episode. Hans and Brian take apart the conventional financial planning model, starting with the assumption buried underneath all of it: that anyone can predict the future. When you retire, what taxes will be, what inflation does, how long you live, how the market performs. Every one of those has to break your way for the plan to work. Only one has to break against you for it to fall apart.Chapters 00:00 – Opening segment 01:05 – Why part two of the interest rate breakdown is delayed a week 04:55 – Correction: SECURE 2.0 took the RMD penalty from 50 percent to 25 percent 06:45 – The one piece of the tax code Hans cannot steel man 07:00 – How the two gates work: 59 and a half, then 73 08:15 – Reducing the penalty to 10 percent, and why the barrier never really left 10:20 – Tax on the seed versus tax on the harvest 11:55 – Macro roundup: how a Treasury auction actually clears 14:05 – The 30-year breaks 5.3 percent, highest since 2007 14:55 – Heavy federal issuance and the approaching 40 trillion mark 15:50 – AI data center CapEx enters the rate story 16:35 – Three straight down sessions in the S&P 17:00 – Oil, Hormuz, and the lowest SPR level since 1982 20:20 – Why "cooling inflation" is still inflation 22:10 – Replay begins: the airline gig and stop being a passenger 25:50 – What the institutions want, and the four things they are optimizing for 26:40 – Pond money versus river money 27:45 – The blackjack cheat sheet the dealer hands you for free 28:50 – The conventional model in one paragraph 30:50 – Where did 65 come from, and why is it a goal at all 32:25 – The Social Security incentive trap 33:35 – The generation that struck gold on the timeline of history 36:10 – Asset price inflation is not value creation 37:10 – A proposal: let our generation take the hit 40:40 – On spending it all and leaving nothing behind 44:15 – The Waiting List, and what you would actually trade for your children 48:55 – Back to the model: predict the future 50:20 – What will tax rates be in thirty years 53:40 – If taxes double, does your plan survive 53:55 – The family budget slide and what it actually is 59:35 – 1988 prices and the case against linear inflation 1:02:50 – How long will you live, and the barrel of water on the island 1:05:35 – Market performance as a load-bearing assumption 1:06:45 – Closing segmentKey TakeawaysThe conventional plan is a stack of predictions dressed as a strategy.

If you've been pushing through exhaustion, ignoring your own needs to take care of everyone else, and wondering why you still feel worn down no matter how hard you try, this episode is for you. In this episode, we look at an old story about two woodcutters and what it teaches us about holistic health, faith-based rest, and why sharpening your axe matters more than working harder. This episode is for the Christian woman who is ready to take real steps toward healing. If you've tried supplement after supplement, diet after diet, and you're still exhausted, this conversation will help you understand what might actually be missing. The Story of the Two Woodcutters Two woodcutters, Jake and Jonas, competed to see who could chop the most wood by the end of the day. Jonas never stopped. Jake stopped every hour. By sundown, Jake had won, not despite the breaks, but because of them. Every time he stopped, he was sharpening his saw. This story usually gets told as a lesson in productivity. But it points to something deeper about how we care for our bodies and our health. What Ecclesiastes 10:10 Teaches Us About Sharpening Our Axe Ecclesiastes 10:10 says, "If the iron is blunt and one does not sharpen the edge, he must use more strength, but wisdom helps one to succeed." A dull axe forces us to work harder for less result. The same is true in our health. When we neglect the basics, our bodies have to work harder just to keep up, and we still fall short. Why We Should Ask God How to Sharpen Our Saw Instead of guessing our way through diets, supplements, and health trends, we can ask God how to care for our specific bodies. He knows us best. Sharpening our saw might look different for each of us, but it starts with the same question: what does God want me to prioritize? Jesus Modeled Rest and Intentionality Mark 1:35 describes Jesus rising early, while it was still dark, to go pray alone. When His disciples told Him everyone was looking for Him, He didn't rush back to meet every need. He said, "Let us go on to the next towns that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out." Jesus was intentional. He rested with God first, and He didn't try to be everything to everyone. That's a pattern worth following, especially for women who feel responsible for holding everything together. Practical Ways to Sharpen Your Axe Sharpening your saw looks different for everyone, but a few examples came up in this episode: Spending unhurried time with God, even before the day gets busy Watching what you eat and food prepping ahead of time Getting support from a friend, therapist, pastor, or church community Swapping out personal care or cleaning products for cleaner options Spending time with friends, not just family Moving your body in a way you enjoy, whether that's kickboxing, walking, or light strength training Reducing stress wherever possible, including something as simple as stopping to eat at a set time None of these are quick fixes. They're the ongoing, unglamorous habits that keep us from running on empty. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 — Introduction: your health might be suffering because you're skipping the important things 00:00–01:25 — The story of the two woodcutters, Jake and Jonas 01:25 — Ecclesiastes 10:10 on sharpening a dull blade 01:52 — What it means to sharpen our saw when it comes to health 02:21 — Mark 1:35, Jesus rising early to pray before the demands of the day 03:19 — Jesus' intentionality: "that is why I came out" 04:17 — Practical examples: food prep, community support, and personal care swaps 04:44 — A hospice worker's insight on end-of-life regrets around friendship 05:13 — Joyful movement and protecting your relationships during busy seasons 06:09 — The role of strength training as we age 06:37 — Reducing stress as one of the most important things you can do for your health 07:07 — A nurse's perspective on burnout from skipping breaks and meals 07:36 — Why God, not trial and error, is the best source of wisdom for your body Key Takeaways Working harder isn't always the answer. Sometimes what your body needs is rest, not more effort. Sharpening your axe isn't one-size-fits-all. What God asks you to prioritize may look different than what He asks someone else to prioritize. Jesus modeled rest and intentional boundaries, even when others wanted more of His time. Small, consistent habits, like eating on time, moving your body, and staying connected to friends, matter more than we often give them credit for. This episode isn't medical advice. It's an invitation to slow down, reflect, and ask God what your body actually needs. Ready to Stop Running on Empty?

What if having less could actually give you more—more time, more energy, more creativity, and more freedom?In this episode of Badass Basic Bitch, Brianna sits down with Courtney Carver, founder of Be More with Less and creator of the Project 333 Challenge, to talk about simplifying your life, letting go of what's weighing you down, and redefining what “enough” really looks like.Courtney's journey toward simplicity began after a life-changing health diagnosis forced her to take a closer look at the stress in her life. What started with addressing debt, clutter, and an overwhelming career eventually became a completely different way of living—and a movement that has inspired people around the world to rethink their relationship with their stuff.Courtney breaks down her famous Project 333 Challenge: dressing with just 33 items or less for three months. But as Brianna and Courtney explore, this conversation is about much more than cleaning out your closet.They dive into the emotional reasons we hold onto things, how shopping can become a way of coping with discomfort, the influence of social media and algorithms on consumerism, and the surprising mental freedom that comes from having fewer decisions to make every day.From designer handbags and kids' clutter to online shopping and decision fatigue, this episode will have you looking around your house—and maybe opening your closet—the second it's over.In This Episode, We Discuss:How Courtney's journey toward simplicity beganWhy reducing stress became the catalyst for changing her lifeThe creation of Be More with Less and Project 333How the Project 333 Challenge worksWhat is—and isn't—included in your 33 itemsWhy Project 333 isn't about deprivation or sufferingHow having less helps redefine what “enough” actually meansThe emotional attachment we develop to clothes, handbags, and possessionsA simple trick for letting go of items you're emotionally attached toBrianna's experience letting go of designer bags and simplifying her wardrobeHow shopping can become a coping mechanism when other parts of life feel outside our controlWhy clutter isn't always made up of things we dislikeThe challenge of managing clutter when you have kidsHow fewer choices can benefit children, tooReducing decision fatigue through a simplified wardrobeWhy fewer possessions can create more room for creativityManaging your energy instead of constantly trying to manage your timeUsing services like Rent the Runway without falling back into overconsumptionHow Instagram, TikTok, algorithms, and online shopping influence what we think we needWhy Courtney intentionally reduced her own social media consumptionThe surprising realization that most people aren't paying attention to what you wearHow simplifying one area of your life can inspire changes everywhere elseMemorable Quote“One of the biggest benefits is realizing that nobody notices what you're doing.” — Courtney CarverKey TakeawaysSimplicity Isn't About DeprivationProject 333 isn't designed to make you suffer through three months with nothing to wear. The challenge is an experiment in discovering how much you actually need.By choosing 33 items—including clothing, jewelry, shoes, and accessories—and living with them for three months, you get the opportunity to step away from the constant cycle of wanting more and discover what you genuinely enjoy wearing.Sometimes You Need Space Before You Can Let GoGetting rid of something can feel surprisingly emotional, especially when the item represents a memory, identity, accomplishment, or version of yourself.Courtney suggests removing items from sight before deciding whether to permanently let them go. Creating distance can weaken the emotional connection and help you recognize whether you actually miss the item—or simply felt uncomfortable getting rid of it.Clutter Costs More Than MoneyEverything we own requires something from us. We have to organize it, clean it, maintain it, store it, think about it, or decide what to do with it.Reducing what you own isn't simply about having a cleaner closet. It can reduce decision fatigue and free up mental energy for creativity, relationships, work, problem-solving, and the things that matter more.Shopping Can Give Us the Illusion of ControlWhen something painful or stressful is happening outside of our control, focusing on something we can control—like what we buy—can feel comforting.But that temporary relief can eventually create another source of stress through clutter, spending, and the constant pressure to acquire more. Recognizing why you're reaching for something can be just as important as deciding whether to buy it.Social Media Is Constantly Telling Us We Need MoreInstagram, TikTok, online shopping, and personalized algorithms have created an environment where we're constantly being introduced to the next thing we're supposed to want.Courtney shares why she's intentionally reduced her own time on certain platforms and why becoming more conscious about what we're consuming digitally can help change what we consume physically.Fewer Decisions Can Create More CreativityWhen you remove dozens of unnecessary decisions from your day, that energy doesn't disappear—it becomes available for something else.Courtney has found that simplifying areas like her wardrobe gives her more capacity for writing, business, problem-solving, and creativity. Sometimes creating more space in your life literally begins by removing things from it.Nobody Is Paying as Much Attention as You ThinkOne of the unexpected lessons from Project 333 is discovering how little other people notice what you're wearing.The fear that someone will notice you repeating an outfit or wearing fewer things is often much bigger in our minds than it is in reality. Letting go of that perceived judgment can create freedom far beyond your closet.Ready to Try Project 333?For three months, dress with 33 items or less, including:ClothingJewelryAccessoriesShoesItems such as underwear, sleepwear, workout clothing used specifically for exercise, and special-occasion pieces aren't included in the 33.The goal isn't to find the perfect 33 pieces. It's to experiment with less and pay attention to what changes—your mornings, your decisions, your spending, your energy, and potentially much more.Connect with Courtney CarverCourtney Carver is the founder of Be More with Less and creator of the Project 333 Challenge. Through her books, writing, courses, and The Simplicity Space Community, Courtney helps people live with less and let go of what's weighing them down.
What happens when a patient can't communicate with the team caring for them? On this episode of the Elevate Care podcast, host Christin Stanford talks with Erin Dougherty Cieszynski, Manager of Guest Relations and Patient Experience at Main Line Health, about what language access looks like once a policy meets a patient in an exam room. This conversation is part two of a series with Main Line Health, following a leadership-level discussion on operational strategy with Suzanne Smith. Check out part one! Erin brings over 12 years of patient advocacy experience to a conversation grounded in real moments from the floor: emergency department visits, registration desks, and the quiet handoffs between nurse, patient, and family. She walks through how Main Line Health moved from reactive interpreter use to automatic activation, why a universal sign-on changed adoption rates among clinicians, and how something as simple as a badge buddy can close a communication gap before it becomes a safety risk. Erin also shares how an ASL interpreter helped identify a hearing-impaired patient as a victim of human trafficking, connecting the dots between language access, patient safety, and trust. Throughout, she reframes language services as a driver of stronger patient outcomes, better satisfaction scores, and increased community referrals, not just a regulatory requirement. Key Takeaways Language access should be automatic at the start of care, not a last resort. Reducing friction through universal app sign-on, badge buddies, and dual handsets drives faster clinician adoption. Patients who feel heard are more likely to return, refer others, and engage in preventive care. Language access touches the entire patient journey, from registration through discharge and follow-up. Strong interpreter access supports both patient safety and staff satisfaction. Health systems should expect deeper digital integration and a shift toward population-mapped language access strategy.

They explain how treasury teams can assess technology and identify where outdated tools create the most drag, and how to prioritize upgrades without trying to replace everything at once. The discussion also covers ISO 20022, APIs, AI, cloud-native architecture, interoperability, and why treasury should regularly review its technology stack to maintain a practical runway for future change. 2026 Treasury Technology Analyst Report The Hidden Costs of Complexity in Treasury Operations (2026) TMS and TRMS: Choosing the Right Treasury System in 2026 (2026) Treasury Assessments: What to Review and How Often (2026) Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:16 What is treasury technology debt? 02:45 Common forms of technology debt 04:28 How outdated technology impacts treasury 06:44 Identifying and prioritizing technology debt 10:25 Payment standards and ISO 20022 11:31 Reducing technology debt strategically 14:15 APIs, interoperability, and modernization 15:40 Building a sustainable technology roadmap 16:31 Final thoughts 16:48 Outro ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABOUT STRATEGIC TREASURER ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Strategic Treasurer is recognized as a top tier consulting firm in the area of treasury and risk management.

Microplastics and nanoplastics are now found in food, water, and air, and research suggests they accumulate in organs such as the liver, pancreas, kidneys, and brain. Laboratory and animal studies indicate they may contribute to oxidative stress, inflammation, and insulin resistance in these areas The same biological changes linked to microplastic exposure are also associated with Type 2 diabetes, including impaired blood sugar control, disrupted gut bacteria, and metabolic dysfunction that develops long before symptoms appear In animal studies, nanoplastics, which are microscopic, crossed the blood-brain barrier, where they triggered inflammation, interfered with how brain cells use glucose for energy, and contributed to memory and learning problems associated with cognitive decline Your body has a built-in defense system called Nrf2 that helps neutralize oxidative stress and repair cellular damage, and many nutrients found in colorful fruits, herbs, spices, and other plant foods help activate this protective pathway While eliminating all microplastic exposure is no longer realistic, reducing everyday plastic use, supporting healthy metabolism, tracking HOMA-IR, and eating a wide variety of nutrient-rich whole foods help strengthen your body's resilience against plastic-related damage
