Episode 3614: Emily Guy Birken explains how simple organizational systems can reduce everyday expenses and stress. From creating a consistent laundry routine and maintaining a snack-ready pantry to managing paperwork with an effective filing system, these practical habits help prevent wasted money, eliminate late fees, and make daily life run more smoothly. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://ptmoney.com/organize-your-life-save/ Quotes to ponder: "Getting organized may seem like it requires discipline, but in fact the opposite is true. Once you put habits in place and make them automatic, you don't even have to think about organization." "The trick to organizing paperwork is having a simple system." "Making the change in habits is a slow process, but even tackling one bad organizational habit will make a big difference, both in your stress level and in your finances."

Episode 3613: Emily Guy Birken explains how building simple organizational habits can reduce waste, prevent unnecessary spending, and make everyday life run more smoothly. From meal planning to maintaining a shared family calendar, she shows how a little preparation can help you save money on groceries, gifts, home maintenance, and more. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://ptmoney.com/organize-your-life-save/ Quotes to ponder: "The solution to the food wasting problem is meal-planning." "All that matters is that all events are posted in the same place and that everyone in the family has access to it." "Planning out your meals in advance (or even just your dinners) forces you to think about what ingredients you have at home, allows you to only shop for the ingredients you need, rather than going on a grocery binge, and makes you plan out your week with the difficult days in mind."

Episode 3612: Jeff Rose explains practical steps for gaining control of debt by creating a realistic budget, tracking income and expenses, and identifying true disposable income. He also shows how cutting unnecessary spending and using extra cash to make debt overpayments can help reduce debt faster and lower overall interest costs. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.goodfinancialcents.com/simple-ways-to-improve-your-debt-management-skills/ Quotes to ponder: "Budgeting is about knowing how your finances work and controlling what you do with your money, in other words, not letting your money control you!" "Your disposable income is essentially the amount you have left on a monthly basis to pay towards your non-priority debts and, if you have any spare after doing this, to save and to spend on non-essential goods/services." "Overpaying your debts can be an excellent way to improve your debt management skills."

Andrew Ambrosino leads development of the Codex desktop app at OpenAI. Nearly 100% of OpenAI employees—not just engineers—now use Codex weekly. A lifelong builder with a background spanning engineering, design, product management, and founding companies, he is now responsible for turning the Codex desktop experience into what he calls “the best desktop app that has ever existed, full stop.”In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. Why AI has completely flipped the product development process2. What “taste” really means as a professional skill, and why it is emerging as the most valuable capability in an AI-first workplace3. Why Andrew believes the Codex app would have failed if they launched it last November (vs. in February)4. The “zone defense” model for how product managers at OpenAI operate when everyone can build anything5. How roles are collapsed on Andrew's team, and why eliminating the concept of roles entirely is a big mistake6. How Andrew uses Codex to run his own workflows7.

Episode 3610: Rosalyn Palmer explores how what we commonly experience as anger is often a protective response masking deeper emotions such as hurt, fear, frustration, or feeling disrespected. By learning to identify these underlying triggers and challenge initial assumptions, listeners can gain greater emotional awareness, respond more thoughtfully to difficult situations, and break long-standing reactive patterns. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://rosalynpalmer.com/getting-to-the-root-of-your-anger/ Quotes to ponder: "Another way to gain clarity in any situation where you become angry is to ask yourself: “What is it in me that becomes angry at this person/situation?” and also “What is it about this person/situation that makes me angry?”." "Self-evidently it is a good idea to remove yourself as much as possible from trigger people and situations but this may not always be entirely possible as we live in families and communities and work with others." "As you will know, we are hardwired to avoid such situations and our bodies can easily kick into flight or flight mode."

Episode 3611: Kalen Bruce explains why financial success isn't just about eliminating small expenses or focusing only on major financial decisions. He argues that true conscious spending comes from understanding where every dollar goes, using budgeting and spending awareness to align daily choices with long-term financial goals. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://freedomsprout.com/conscious-spending/ Quotes to ponder: "Look, it's easy to want the best of everything: We want to go out all the time, live in a great apartment, buy new clothes, drive a new car, and travel any time we want. The truth is, you have to prioritize." "We need our kids to understand that our finances aren't determined only by big wins or only by small buys. Our financial future is based on every single choice we make." "As ugly of a word as it is, a budget is the key to conscious spending."

Episode 3609: Darrow Kirkpatrick explores the complex question of how much wealth parents should leave to their children, weighing the benefits of financial security against the risks of entitlement and diminished purpose. He argues that thoughtful legacy planning, open family communication, and strategic giving during life can create a healthier balance between supporting future generations and preserving meaningful, independent lives. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.caniretireyet.com/how-much-should-you-leave-to-your-kids/ Quotes to ponder: "23% of pre-retirees would ideally like to spend all of their savings and let their children fend for themselves. In contrast, a mere 9% say they want to save as much money as possible to pass on to the next generation." "Many people feel an obligation to preserve and pass on at least the principal they've inherited to future generations, rather than consuming it themselves." "The sense of entitlement that comes from unearned wealth can stunt growth, subvert meaning, and contribute to depression and destructive behavior."

Fifteen years after her cancer diagnosis, Sheila Dillon asks what role food could play in cancer treatment, prevention and recovery - and why it is still so often overlooked.Earlier this year, the Government published a new 10-year National Cancer Plan for England, aiming to save 320,000 lives and ensure three in four people survive at least five years after diagnosis by 2035. It's been welcomed as an ambitious strategy, yet some say it has little to say about diet. References to food focus largely on reducing obesity - by making supermarkets to monitor and report on sales of healthy and unhealthy foods, and expanding access to weight-loss drugs. It also includes commitments to improving hospital food for children with cancer, and introducing prehabilitation programmes via the NHS App by 2028. So where does that leave food itself - in treatment, in recovery, and in the risk of relapse?Featuring interviews with: Clare Doney, the clinical lead for personalised care for the Northern Cancer Alliance covering the North East and North Cumbria. Dr Giota Mitrou, Executive Director of Research and Policy at World Cancer Research Fund International Prof. Robert Thomas, head of oncology at the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine, part of University College Hospital and consultant oncologist at Addenbrooks hospital in Cambridge.Produced by Natalie Donovan for BBC Audio in BristolResources:https://mywellbeingspacenca.nhs.uk/https://www.wcrf.org/living-well/living-with-cancer/cancer-and-nutrition-helpline/These links will take you to an external website.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.prospecttherapy.com/blog/2023/12/1/ky0iiakglgb3uj9id5szt1vwa7ics1-wgbhf-c68kj Quotes to ponder: "Doom spending is a term used to describe the pattern of compulsive or impulsive buying driven by feelings of anxiety, stress, or a sense of impending doom." "The act of purchasing items might provide a brief distraction or a momentary sense of control, but it doesn't address the root cause of anxiety."

Welcome to Episode 313 of Autism Parenting Secrets. This week I'm joined by attorney Aaron Siri, Managing Partner of Siri & Glimstad and author of the new book Vaccines, Amen. Aaron has spent more than a decade challenging government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and public health institutions on issues related to medical freedom, informed consent, and transparency. In this conversation, we explore why vaccines are treated differently under the law than almost any other product, what Aaron discovered through years of litigation and public records requests, and why parents should understand the difference between scientific consensus and scientific evidence. Regardless of where you land on these issues, this discussion highlights the importance of critical thinking, asking better questions, and making informed decisions in a world where complex topics are often reduced to simple talking points.

Episode 3606: Dori Cameron challenges five common mental shortcuts that make unnecessary purchases feel justified, from assuming you can return an item to believing it can always be stored, repaired, donated, or resold later. By exposing the hidden costs in time, money, and effort behind these rationalizations, she offers a practical framework for making more intentional buying decisions and reducing clutter before it starts. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.becomingminimalist.com/myths-that-cause-overspending/ Quotes to ponder: "If you are thinking “I can always return it,” the item may not be something worth purchasing in the first place." "A rule of thumb when making a purchase is to assume it has no resale value." "When you are in buying mode, ask yourself where in your house the object will likely be a year from now."

With those gnarly Evil Dead Burn trailers hitting theaters, we figured it was about time we got caught up on the current state of affairs in Deadite world. Thankfully, Evil Dead Rise (2023) features a trans actor and, at least according to some, a trans character, so it fits our Trans Pride purposes perfectly. A new addition to the story rather than any sort of direct sequel, this flick retreads familiar (and familial) ground while exploring a new urban setting. That's right: Forget a cabin in the woods (at least for the most part), because we've uncovered a new Naturom Demonto under an apartment building in Downtown Los Angeles. We're talking lore, giving Lee Cronin another chance, and recalling our own potentially cursed missteps on a new Spooky Tuesday. This month, we're donating all of our proceeds to non-profit organizations dedicated to helping and protecting the trans community. You can help by participating in our Instagram fundraiser benefiting Transgender Law Center, joining our Patreon, or streaming both old and new episodes through the end of June. Happy Pride!References: https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/evil-dead-rise-director-lee-cronin-interview-1234829839/https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/evil-dead-rise-ending-explained-lee-cronin-1234831407/https://evildead.fandom.com/wiki/Necronomicon_Ex-Mortishttps://screenrant.com/evil-dead-necronomicon-every-version-explained/https://loganashley.substack.com/p/the-transgender-evil-deadhttps://www.thepinknews.com/2023/04/25/evil-dead-rise-trans-character-danny-morgan-davies/

In this episode, host Daniel Raimi invites podcast guest Amy Townsend-Small, a professor at the University of Cincinnati, to illuminate the history, environmental impact, and cultural significance of gas-powered streetlights. These functional fixtures lend old-time ambiance to historic districts in cities like Boston and Cincinnati, but their aesthetic comes at a cost: gas lamps leak methane at a wasteful rate, and these charming relics can drain cities of hundreds of thousands of dollars in fuel and maintenance. By integrating her field research on streetlights with cultural and historical context, Townsend-Small localizes the numbers behind gaslight emissions—and sheds light on the sentiments that might have allowed them to persist, even as fuel-efficient electric alternatives become more affordable and available.

On this slightly-lighter-than-usual episode, our hosts Flint and Ashleigh talk through: A new direct care clinic for the trans community will open in New York City, but is it all that was promised by mayor Zohran Mamdani? A quick run through of some developments around the EHRC, including some serious questioning by the Women & Equalities Committee. The sterling work done by the local government committee within UNISON. Stories of snowflakes upset that people disagree with them, in Loser's Corner!  And a nice chill one in our meat this time, with a nice long chat with nonbinary actor Luyanda Lewis-Nyawo, as featured in Baldur's Gate III, Wednesday and most recently, the new Russell T. Davies drama, Tip Toe. References: https://whatthetrans.com/ep158

Australia's High Court is being asked to consider a deceptively simple question with huge consequences: is crypto property, or merely information controlled by private keys?In this episode, Peter breaks down Poulton v Conrad, a dispute that began with Bitcoin purchased in 2013 and has grown into a major legal test for digital assets in Australia. The case raises questions about possession, control, conversion, taxation, custody, insurance, and what legal protection crypto holders actually have if assets are withheld, misappropriated, or stolen.This is not legal or financial advice. It is an educational discussion of the case and the wider implications for Australian crypto users.Key Takeaways:- Poulton v Conrad asks whether Bitcoin and other digital assets can be treated as personal property under Australian common law.- The dispute traces back to Bitcoin purchased in 2013 and later arguments over control, possession, forks, and damages.- One side argues crypto is not a physical object or bank-backed debt, but information accessed through private keys.- The other side argues crypto behaves like property because it is identifiable, transferable, rivalrous, and economically valuable.- A clear property ruling could strengthen civil remedies for stolen or misappropriated digital assets.- A ruling against property treatment could create major uncertainty for taxation, custody, insurance, and crypto platforms in Australia.Links & References:- https://link.learncardano.io/fdP2Aw- https://link.learncardano.io/6RvedE- https://link.learncardano.io/Nj84CxWebsite: https://link.learncardano.io/bQ68RcX/Twitter: https://link.learncardano.io/3a1QtvDisclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only.

Skip the banter:When sisters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman stayed behind after a birthday gathering in Fryent Country Park, the first concern was that no one could reach them. This episode looks at the missed calls for help, the delayed search, the evidence vulnerable to weather and contamination, and the conduct of officers that deepened their family's grief after the murders. As the investigation moved from missing persons to a double homicide, questions about urgency, accountability, and dignity became impossible to separate from the case itself. Allison walks us through Bibaa and Nicole's tragic story.Support us and become a Patron!

Episode 3601: Nick Maggiulli explores four additional ways to build wealth through dividend income, rental properties, business ownership, and royalties, weighing the trade-offs between stability, scalability, and effort. He also argues that building one strong income stream can matter more than collecting many small ones, making it easier to choose opportunities that fit your personality and lifestyle. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://ofdollarsanddata.com/7-streams-of-income/ Quotes to ponder: "By focusing on building a strong foundation, you can then leverage this income to build other income streams when the time is right." "Regardless of what you decide to do, finding the right income streams for your lifestyle and personality is far more important than having more of them." "Dividend income can be useful for those who want another passive stream of income."

In this milestone episode (400), Andrea Samadi celebrates seven years of the Neuroscience Meets SEL Podcast with her husband Majid Samadi. They reflect on the journey of translating neuroscience into practical strategies for performance, learning, and well-being. Together they review core lessons — everything begins with the brain, safety before performance, how thoughts shape biology, the power of movement, recovery as a performance strategy, and the central role of relationships and support. Majid also shares leadership insights from his decades in educational sales, including stress management, motivation, continuous learning, and the guiding motto: do the right thing. They close by looking ahead to the next phase on movement, learning and cognition and invite listeners to subscribe for future episodes. Sales Leadership Under Pressure: Applying the Neuroscience of High Performance to Real-World Leadership Guest: Majid Samadi Listen to YouTube interview here https://youtu.be/SSZH3qwPqf8 Intro: Top 7 Lessons from the past 7 years Guest: Majid Samadi (Interview begins at 10:16) EP 400: Sales Leadership Under Pressure with Majid Samadi In this milestone 400th episode, Andrea welcomes back her husband, Majid Samadi, who first appeared on Episode 1 when the podcast launched in 2019. Together, they reflect on seven years, fifteen seasons, and 400 episodes of exploring the neuroscience behind achievement, leadership, learning, motivation, and human potential. In this episode, we will cover: ✔ The Top 7 Lessons Learned from 7 Years and 400 Episodes ✔ Why understanding the brain changes the way we learn, lead, and perform ✔ The neuroscience of stress, self-regulation, and leadership under pressure ✔ How high-performing leaders sustain motivation without burning out ✔ The connection between movement, learning, cognition, and peak performance ✔ Why relationships are the foundation of leadership and long-term success ✔ The role trust plays in building high-performing teams ✔ Leadership lessons learned through organizational change, uncertainty, and growth ✔ How the definition of success evolves over a lifetime and career ✔ Why no meaningful achievement happens alone As Andrea reflects on the lessons learned from hundreds of conversations with neuroscientists, educators, physicians, psychologists, business leaders, and peak performers, she shares the one lesson that stands above all the rest: Behind every meaningful accomplishment is someone who believed in you enough to help you keep going. Welcome back to Season 15 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and on this podcast, we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience so we can create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. Over the past 399 episodes, we've explored the neuroscience behind performance, learning, stress, motivation, and human potential. For this milestone Episode 400, I wanted to do something different. Instead of interviewing another neuroscientist, or reviewing past episodes, we're going to explore what happens when these ideas are applied in the real world. Joining me is someone listeners heard on EP 1[i] my husband, Majid Samadi, where we laid out the framework for future episodes, EP 200[ii] (Why we launched this podcast), and EP 300[iii] (a special episode with my Mom, Hazel MacPhail, where she taught us “how to live the good life”). I'll never forget EP 1, when I asked Majid if he would record with me to help me to launch this podcast thing I wanted to start. He had just come home from working LAUSD (in California) and he put his suit jacket on my desk, and sat down in front of the microphone. I showed him the questions I would ask him, and off we went. I learned that when you start something, it doesn't have to be perfect. Just start. What 15 Seasons Taught Me Before we begin today's conversation, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what I've learned over the past seven years and 400 episodes of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I had sketched out a framework, and had some ideas of what I wanted to cover on at least the first 50 episodes. When I started this idea in 2019, I thought I was creating a platform to share neuroscience research (as it connected to Social and Emotional Learning). What I didn't realize was that the journey would change me. After hundreds of interviews with neuroscientists, physicians, educators, psychologists, business leaders, and peak performers, there are a few lessons that stand above all the rest. I'll always say it took me 50 episodes to get started. I found it really difficult to ask questions and breathe at the same time. Lesson #1: Everything begins with the brain. Whether we're talking about achievement, learning, leadership, health, relationships, or performance, success starts with understanding how the brain works. When we understand the brain, we stop fighting ourselves and start working with ourselves. We all have our own journey here. Mine started when an educator, Jeff Kleck, from EP 246[iv] challenged me to add neuroscience to my work. This was around 2014 when I had partnered with AZ Department of Education with a character ed/leadership program, and Jeff Kleck told me that I wouldn't go wrong if I wrote a whole new book that focused on the brain and learning. That's when I sat down, and started to study some of the leading researchers in this field. I've heard similar stories from other authors like Dr. Doug Fisher, who told me that he sat in classes with medical students to unwrap how the brain learns best. Lesson #2: Safety comes before performance. One of the most important themes of Season 15 has been that a dysregulated nervous system cannot perform at its best. Before growth, before learning, before leadership, the brain must feel safe. This lesson applies in our homes, our schools, our workplaces, and our relationships. I'll never forget asking Dr. David Stephen on EP 388[v] about a situation where I was under unusual stress, and my eyesight (or ability to read) stopped working. He explained the neuroscience behind this example, that I'll never forget and his solution to my problem that was to eat glucose before any important meeting or presentation. Lesson #3: Our thoughts become biology. Through experts like Dr. Caroline Leaf, Bob Proctor, Dawson Church, and many others, I learned that our thoughts are not just ideas. They influence our chemistry, our attention, our habits, and ultimately our results. What we repeatedly think becomes what we repeatedly do. This one I've believed since my days working in the seminar industry with Bob Proctor. He would hammer this concept into everyone's mind in every seminar. I just always thought this was something he really believed in, until I heard the SAME thing from Dr. Caroline Leaf, and Dr. Korotkov from Russia. It's also behind Dr. Joe Dispenza's work. To this day, I watch the words I think and say out loud. Lesson #4: Movement changes the brain. This lesson became personal. The science is clear: movement improves attention, memory, mood, resilience, and learning. But over the years, I experienced it firsthand through hiking, walking, strength training, and building daily movement into my life. This is how I've always been. I remember putting on my rollerblades when I was 16 and rollerblading to the local YMCA that wasn't really in my neighborhood. Motivation got me moving. Movement changed my brain. And this is how I still find the energy to sit at my desk and write podcasts episodes every Saturday. I have to exercise (or move) first, and then I can create. Over time this has probably been my healthiest habits. Lesson #5: Recovery drives performance. For years I focused on doing more. The neuroscience taught me something different. Growth doesn't happen during effort. Growth happens during recovery. Sleep, stress regulation, recovery, and reflection are not luxuries—they are performance strategies. This took me years to finally put into practice. Lesson #6: Relationships change everything. If there is one lesson that appears in every field of neuroscience, it is this: We are wired for connection. The quality of our relationships influences our health, happiness, resilience, leadership, and longevity. And that brings me to perhaps the most important lesson of all. Lesson #7: No meaningful achievement happens alone. People often see the finished podcast episode. They don't see the support system behind it. For 400 episodes, there has been one person supporting this mission from behind the scenes. My husband, Majid. While I was researching, writing, recording, editing, and building this platform, Majid was encouraging me when things were difficult, celebrating the wins, offering perspective when I needed it, and helping me continue when the path wasn't always clear. Many of these episodes were written because someone believed in me enough to keep me going. The podcast may have my name on it, but it has always been supported by both of us. As we celebrate Episode 400, that's the lesson I want to leave everyone with. Achievement is rarely a solo journey. Behind every meaningful accomplishment is a person, a mentor, a teacher, a spouse, a friend cheering you along the way from the sidelines, or a community that helped make it possible. The neuroscience taught me how the brain works. Life taught me that relationships are what make everything work. And that's why there is no better person to join me for Episode 400 than Majid Samadi. Welcome Majid! Thank you for taking the time to record this milestone episode with me. I know your time is limited. Before we get started, can  you share what it is that you do when you are not being strong armed to record podcast episodes for me? So, we have been covering 5 phases in Season 15, showing how the brain comes online and changes with each phase. So I've got some questions for you that will cover each phase. Does that sound good?

#871: Former WSJ tech columnist Joanna Stern spent a year using AI for almost everything. She had her mammogram read by an algorithm, wore a bracelet that recorded every conversation, rode in a Waymo, and let ChatGPT help her decide whether to leave the Wall Street Journal. This year-long experiment is captured in her new book, “I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything,” which reflects on what AI actually does well, what it absolutely does not, and why humanoid robots are so dang funny.

His story offers a thoughtful perspective on balancing long-term wealth with the fleeting opportunities that family life provides. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.keepthrifty.com/trade-financial-freedom-mini-retirement/ Quotes to ponder: "Enjoy these moments. They grow up so fast.

Hiring a financial advisor is a big decision. My "How to Interview a Financial Advisor" worksheet gives you the tools to navigate the process and choose an advisor who fits your goals. Download it for free. -----  In this episode, I'm joined by Cameron Passmore, co-host of The Rational Reminder and a leader at PWL Capital, to discuss whether financial advice can scale without getting worse. We explore why the portfolio problem may be easier to solve than the advice-business problem, and what advisors need to do once low-cost, evidence-based investing becomes the starting point rather than the value proposition. Listen now and learn: ► Why Cameron believes the future of advice depends on better firms, not just better portfolios ► How fee transparency could force advisors to better define and defend their value ► What scaled advisory firms can do that solo advisors and smaller practices often cannot ► How private markets, AI, and investor behavior will shape the next decade of financial advice   Visit www.TheLongTermInvestor.com for show notes, free resources, and a place to submit questions.   Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant (⁠https://thepodcastconsultant.com⁠)   Disclosure: This content, which contains security-related opinions and/or information, is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon in any manner as professional advice, or an endorsement of any practices, products or services.

Episode 3597: Christina Browning explains how a high savings rate, combined with long-term investing and compound growth, can dramatically shorten the path to financial independence. By breaking down the 4% Rule with practical examples, she shows how reducing expenses and increasing investments can make retiring in under ten years a realistic goal for some households. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.ourrichjourney.com/post/how-to-retire-in-under-ten-years Quotes to ponder: "The key to retiring in less than ten years is all about increasing your savings rates."
