June is Men's Health Month, making it a perfect time to highlight the importance of men's health. In a conversation hosted by Janet Michael on The Valley Today, Dr. Isaac Prince—a primary care physician at Valley Health Primary Care—joined to discuss critical health topics that men should be aware of. With his insight, Dr. Prince underscored the importance of regular check-ups and the often-overlooked aspects of mental health for men. "Health's always a culmination of things," said Dr. Prince. "One of the more overlooked aspects of men's health is mental health. Men tend to bottle up emotions due to societal stigmas, which can lead to severe health issues like obesity, metabolic syndrome, and elevated blood pressure and cholesterol." He emphasized that while everyone knows the basics of eating healthy and exercising, the underlying reasons for not following these principles often go unaddressed. "Why is somebody not taking care of themselves? Why is somebody not exercising or eating healthy? Often, these habits are symptomatic of deeper mental health issues." Prince pointed out the value of having a primary care physician, noting that women are generally more proactive about their health. "That's why women live longer than men. They tend to go to the doctor more regularly," he stated. He stressed the importance for men to build a trusting relationship with their healthcare providers. "You might only see a doctor every ten years, but regular check-ups can catch issues before they become emergencies." The conversation addressed common health issues men face, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. "These are often silent conditions that can be deadly if undiagnosed," Prince warned. He noted that issues like high blood pressure are often called the 'silent killer' because they can go unnoticed until it's too late. "Regular exercise and dietary adjustments can prevent these issues," Dr. Prince continued. Moderate exercise—like walking, hiking, or swimming for about two hours a week—can make a significant difference. "Exercise doesn't mean you need to run marathons. Even moderate intensity is beneficial," he said. Dietary changes, such as reducing salt and red meat intake, can also help manage these health concerns. Dr. Prince also highlighted the importance of mental health in preventing physical ailments. "Undiagnosed mental health issues can lead to serious physical health problems like high cholesterol and blood pressure," he said. He recommended that men should consider annual physicals as a preventive measure. Janet noted the importance of families working together on health issues. "Often, if the husband has high cholesterol and the wife is feeling depressed, they can both benefit from a joint exercise routine," Dr. Prince explained. This collaborative approach can make lifestyle changes more sustainable and effective. Dr. Prince encouraged families to utilize all available resources, including wellness plans provided by employers. "Utilize all resources that you have," he advised. These programs often include regular physicals and lab work, which can help catch potential issues early. As the conversation wrapped up, Dr. Prince offered straightforward advice: "Get outside, get exercise, and get fresh air. Stay motivated, eat your fruits and vegetables, and schedule that annual physical." His final message was a reminder to prioritize health, not just for oneself but for the entire family. Valley Health Primary Care is currently accepting new patients, and there are openings at various locations. "The sooner you get the appointment set up, the better," Prince said. For men and their families, taking proactive steps today can lead to a healthier tomorrow.

In this opening episode of the Summer Q&A Series, Nicole addresses one of the most heartfelt and relatable spiritual struggles: “What do I do when I can’t hear God’s voice?” Drawing from James 1:2–8, Nicole unpacks why God may feel silent in seasons of confusion or pain—and how that silence could actually be an invitation. With compassionate insight and biblical depth, she offers listeners practical wisdom for enduring trials, examining their hearts, and pressing deeper into God’s promises. This is a powerful episode for anyone feeling stuck, discouraged, or distant from God. Main Takeaways You’re Not Alone in the Silence: Even faithful believers experience seasons of unanswered questions or silence from God. James 1 Offers a Roadmap: Troubles are opportunities for growth, not obstacles to joy. When we ask for wisdom, God will give it—but we must ask with faith and undivided loyalty. Mixed Motives Can Muffle God’s Voice: Sometimes our desires are entangled with fear, selfishness, or cultural pressure. Regular self-examination can purify our requests. Endurance Builds Spiritual Maturity: The waiting seasons are formative. Joy, wisdom, and clarity come with time and perseverance. God’s Promises are Steady Anchors: Holding tight to the truths of Scripture can help steady your faith during spiritually dry times. For Further Bible Study: Bible Verse References James 1:2–8 – Consider trials as joy and ask for wisdom with faith Jeremiah 29:13 – “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Matthew 11:28 – “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened…” John 10:10 – “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 14:6 – “I am the way and the truth and the life…” John 16:33 – “In this world you will have trouble.

We recorded a regular Shtark Tank conversation with Tuvia Eisenman—about sales, chessed, and life in Israel.Then the war broke out.Tuvia was called back to reserve duty, and he joins us now from his IDF base with an emergency update. He walks us through the past few days, shares what it's like on the ground in the Jordan Valley, and offers powerful reflections on what soldiers and their families are facing right now.After the update, we return to the original conversation, recorded just days earlier. Tuvia shares how a yeshivish kid from Passaic ended up serving in the IDF, building a sales career in Israel, and using those skills to raise millions for nonprofits around the world. We talk about the art of listening—how it drives both sales and parenting—and how he balances intense frontline experiences with raising a family and living a life of purpose.We also dive into the world of nonprofit marketing and fundraising. Tuvia offers a frank take on why most campaigns fall flat, how organizations can do better, and why peer-to-peer giving—though messy and personal—is actually one of the frum community's greatest strengths.

The Traumas of Police Work and Drowning Deaths, Special Episode. The badge doesn't always protect the heart. Retired Seminole County Sheriff's Sergeant Mark DiBona knows that truth all too well. After more than three decades in law enforcement, spanning from Braintree, Massachusetts to the heart of Florida, DiBona's battle wasn't just with criminals, it was with the lasting traumas of police work, the devastating toll of a baby's drowning death, and a fight for his own life. The episode is also promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other platforms. “I couldn't save that baby,” Mark shared in this episode of The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast now streaming on for free on their website, in addition to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn. “And that day nearly cost me my life too.” Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . The incident that nearly broke him happened in Seminole County, Florida, where DiBona had built a respected career within a sheriff's office, with 1,400 employees and nearly $170 million budget. Seminole County, nestled in Central Florida and part of the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford metro area, is no stranger to public safety challenges. But few hit as close to home as the tragic, preventable death of a young child. The Traumas of Police Work and Drowning Deaths. Drowning: Florida's Hidden Crisis Florida tragically leads the nation in child drowning deaths. In 2023 alone, 97 children in the state lost their lives to drowning. Residential pools, bathtubs, and even buckets of standing water claim lives year-round, particularly during the spring and summer months. Lack of proper supervision, faulty or missing safety barriers, and elopement behaviors in children are just a few of the contributing factors. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. DiBona responded to one such scene: a baby in medical distress from drowning. Despite doing everything he could, the child couldn't be saved. “That was it for me,” he admitted. “I'd seen violence, accidents, suicides, but that baby…I still hear that day in my sleep.” The Weight of the Badge, Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The Traumas of Police Work and Drowning Deaths. Law enforcement officers are at a significantly higher risk of developing PTSD than the general population. Studies show between 7% and 19% of officers experience symptoms consistent with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The causes? The trauma is layered and relentless: Regular exposure to gruesome scenes and high-stress situations. Emotional and psychological burdens from the decisions they make. Cumulative trauma over years without real recovery time. Isolation and internal pressure to "stay strong" at all costs. Mark DiBona was no exception. “I developed PTSD, depression, anxiety…and it showed” he revealed, pausing to reflect. “There were times I didn't want to live anymore. I didn't think I was worth saving.” You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. His Recovery and a New Mission But he was saved, through faith, therapy, purpose, and community. DiBona, now a nationally recognized speaker and advocate, travels the country as the “Rock Star of Mental Health,” speaking about suicide prevention, first responder wellness, and the traumas of police work. His voice is raw, honest, and hard-won. The Traumas of Police Work and Drowning Deaths. “I want every cop, firefighter, EMT, dispatcher, any first responder, to know: You can come back from the edge. I'm proof,” he said. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. He co-founded Behind the Tin an initiative aimed at protecting those who protect others. His story, shared widely through podcasts, various news and radio outlets, and social media platforms like their LinkedIn and Instagram, is saving lives by shining a light on what he calls “the silent injuries” of the job. “I always considered myself a cop's cop,” DiBona said. “But I didn't know I'd have to learn how to save myself too.” Spreading the Word, Saving Lives Mark believes the issue of PTSD in law enforcement isn't just under-reported, it's dangerously misunderstood. The macho culture, fear of judgment, and lack of institutional support often silence those who are suffering. The Traumas of Police Work and Drowning Deaths. “We lose more cops to suicide than to gunfire. Where's the outrage? Where's the support?” he asked. With his Christian faith as an anchor, Mark now views his darkest days as fuel for his purpose. He regularly appears in news features, podcasts, and mental health panels, using platforms like Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) to reach first responders in crisis. Listen to his full interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website for free, also on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or most major podcast platforms. The Traumas of Police Work and Drowning Deaths. Through his advocacy and public speaking, he's become a beacon for those walking the same dark path he once did. Whether on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or standing behind a podium in front of hundreds, his message remains consistent: “There is help. There is healing. And you are not alone.” Learn useful tips and strategies to increase your Facebook Success with John Jay Wiley. Both free and paid content are available on this Patreon page .

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode 632, And It's About Navigating Job Site Challenges For Small Construction Businesses As a small construction business owner, you're not just a builder; you're a problem-solver, a negotiator, a project manager, and often, the first one on-site and the last one to leave. While the vision for a completed project is always clear, the path to getting there is often paved with unforeseen challenges, daily inconveniences, and persistent problems. I've seen it time and again from my vantage point, both as a previous construction business owner and now a construction bookkeeping specialist: these job site issues, if left unchecked, don't just delay projects – they eat into profits, strain client relationships, and can even jeopardize the future of your business. But here's the good news: recognizing common pitfalls is the first step to conquering them. 1. The Relentless March of Labor Shortages The U.S. construction industry is grappling with a significant shortage of skilled labor. Finding qualified carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and other tradespeople can be a constant headache, leading to project delays, increased labor costs, and a struggle to take on new work. How to Handle It: Invest in Training & Apprenticeships: Partner with local trade schools, community colleges, or established apprenticeship programs. Grow your talent by investing in on-the-job training for less experienced workers. Competitive Compensation & Benefits: Review your wage scales and benefits package. Offering competitive pay, health insurance, and retirement plans can significantly improve attraction and retention in a tight labor market. Employee Referrals: Encourage your current, trusted employees to refer candidates by offering a bonus for successful hires. Cross-Training: Train your existing crew members on multiple tasks to increase their versatility and cover gaps when a specific skill is in short supply. Utilize Technology for Efficiency: Leverage project management software to optimize scheduling and minimize wasted labor hours, maximizing the productivity of your existing workforce. 2. Escalating Material Costs & Supply Chain Disruptions From lumber and steel to concrete and specialized components, material prices can fluctuate significantly, and supply chain issues can lead to frustrating delays. This unpredictability makes accurate bidding and project profitability a constant challenge. How to Handle It: Early & Bulk Ordering: When feasible, order materials well in advance, especially for items with long lead times or volatile prices. Consider bulk purchasing when storage and cash flow allow. Multiple Supplier Relationships: Cultivate strong relationships with several suppliers. Having backup options is crucial for urgent needs or when your primary supplier faces delays. Price Escalation Clauses: Include clauses in your contracts that allow for price adjustments if material costs exceed a certain percentage, protecting your profit margins from sudden spikes. Explore Alternatives: Be open to using alternative materials or construction methods that offer cost savings or improved availability without compromising quality or code compliance. Real-time Cost Tracking: Utilize robust accounting and project management software to track material costs in real-time against your budget, enabling quick adjustments. 3. Navigating the Regulatory Maze: OSHA, Permitting, & Local Codes The U.S. construction industry is heavily regulated, with strict rules from federal agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), as well as complex state and local permitting and building codes. Non-compliance can result in substantial fines, project delays, and legal liabilities. How to Handle It: Prioritize Safety (OSHA Compliance): Implement a comprehensive safety program to ensure compliance with OSHA regulations and maintain a safe work environment. Conduct regular safety meetings (toolbox talks), provide proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and ensure all workers are trained on OSHA regulations relevant to their tasks. Regular site inspections are key. Dedicated Compliance Officer: For larger businesses, consider designating a team member to be responsible for staying up-to-date on all relevant regulations and ensuring compliance. Permit Proactiveness: Start the permitting process early. Understand the specific requirements of each municipality you work in, as these can vary significantly. Consult Experts: Don't hesitate to consult with legal counsel, an experienced construction bookkeeper, or a safety consultant to ensure full compliance. Documentation is Key: Maintain meticulous records of all safety training, inspections, permits, and communications with regulatory bodies. 4. Poor Communication & Coordination Among Stakeholders Construction projects involve numerous moving parts: your crew, subcontractors, suppliers, architects, engineers, inspectors, and, of course, the client. Miscommunication or a lack of coordination can lead to costly errors, delays, and friction. How to Handle It: Implement Project Management Software: Utilize software designed explicitly for construction that enables centralized communication, scheduling, document sharing, and progress tracking, accessible to all relevant parties. Daily Huddles & Weekly Meetings: Conduct brief daily huddles with your on-site team to review tasks, address immediate concerns, and assign responsibilities. Hold weekly meetings with key subcontractors and the client for larger updates. Transparent Chains of Command: Define who is responsible for what and establish clear reporting lines to ensure accountability. Documentation of Decisions: Follow up verbal discussions with written summaries (emails or notes in your project management system) to avoid "he said, she said" disputes. Manage Client Expectations: Set realistic expectations from the outset regarding timelines, budget, and potential challenges. Implement a formal change order process for any scope adjustments. 5. Cash Flow Challenges & Budget Overruns Delayed payments from clients, unexpected expenses, and inaccurate cost tracking can quickly lead to cash flow issues and projects spiraling over budget, jeopardizing your business's financial stability. How to Handle It: Accurate Job Costing: This is my wheelhouse! Implement a robust job costing system that tracks every expense (labor, materials, equipment, subs) against specific projects. This helps you identify where money is being spent and where you might be losing profitability. Detailed & Realistic Bidding: Don't underbid to win a project. Include a reasonable contingency fund (typically 10-15%) for unforeseen issues. Progress Billing: Structure your contracts to allow for progress payments based on milestones achieved. This ensures a steady inflow of cash as work progresses. Aggressive Invoice Follow-Up: Don't let invoices sit unpaid. Have a straightforward process for following up with clients on outstanding payments. Leverage Technology: Utilize accounting software integrated with your project management tools to automate invoicing, track receivables, and monitor cash flow in real time. Building Success, One Solution at a Time Being a small construction business owner in the U.S. is not for the faint of heart. The challenges are significant, but they are not insurmountable. By proactively addressing these common job site problems with thoughtful planning, clear communication, strategic technology adoption, and a strong financial management system, you'll not only overcome obstacles but also build a more resilient, reputable, and profitable construction company that stands strong for years to come. Your foundation for success is built not just on steel and concrete but on sound operational and financial practices. P.S. We wish our construction community fathers a "Happy Father's Day" this coming weekend for being actual builders, both at work and at home! Your dedication to your craft inspires those around you, and the strength you show on the job site mirrors the strength you provide to your family. Thanks for laying a solid foundation of love, support, and hard work in our lives. Enjoy your special day—you've earned it!

Are the five love languages the secret to a successful relationship? Or do they just enforce outdated relationship norms? In this episode, we dive into how love languages can be helpful, not as a guideline to express love, but as a lens to spot and respond to gaps in connection. We also share our experiences from going to couple's counseling with our ex-husbands, where we first learned about these five love languages, and how we use them in our relationship today. If you've ever felt boxed in by a quiz result or confused about what you need from your partner, this episode will help you feel seen and give you tools to go deeper. Some key takeaways from this episode include: Love languages aren't fixed. Regular check-ins, reflection, or therapy can help keep open communication about what each of you needs in a particular season. You don't have to speak just one. Love languages work best when they're used as a mix - not a label - to help your partner feel seen and supported in different seasons. Patriarchal structures still show up in our relationships, but we have the power to teach our kids (and ourselves) more equitable ways to love and live. Conversations about these structures can feel uncomfortable, but they're crucial for fostering happier, healthier relationships.

If the greatest gap between successful and unsuccessful people is the thinking gap, how can you close it? In this episode, John Maxwell is sharing the key to shrinking the distance between where you are and where you want to be! After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede sit down to talk about what John has shared and offer you practical application for your own life and leadership. Key takeaways: The most effective leaders give themselves permission to think about what's possible, not just what's probable. If I think that there is an answer, I'll become a victor. If I think that there's no answer, I'll become a victim. When facing a problem, think beyond just resolving the issue at hand. Discover solutions to eliminate the root cause and equip others to handle it in the future.

Regular listeners know that I'm obsessed with Artificial Intelligence (due to its potential to revolutionize the pro beauty industry....across categories). Having said this, I'm very much aware of the potential for AI to create challenges for both the industry and our larger world. Listen in for my take on the not-so-great side of this insanely powerful technology.
Story at-a-glance A large health screening revealed 45% of women have low hemoglobin and 75% are deficient in vitamin D; these low levels affect energy, hormones and overall health Nutrient deficiencies manifest differently across age groups, with younger women experiencing immune and hormonal issues while older women face increased risks of bone loss and cardiovascular problems Smart strategies to increase hemoglobin include consuming iron-rich foods with vitamin C, avoiding coffee/tea near meals and addressing absorption issues like gluten sensitivity While low iron is a concern in menstruating women, iron overload is dangerous and common, especially in men and post-menopausal women; high iron levels increase cancer risk and damage mitochondria Regular testing of ferritin, the protein that stores iron in your body (ideal range 35 to 45 ng/mL), and vitamin D levels (aim for 60 to 80 ng/mL) is necessary for targeted supplementation and lifestyle adjustments
Not sure how you're supposed to beat this guy Merab Dvalishvili at this point. Poison? Blow darts? The Dark Arts? Regular-ass fighting ain't working, as Sean O'Malley found out at UFC 316 on Saturday. Looked like O'Malley was trying to do the right things — stay off the cage, work the body, show improved takedown defense, get up when Merab put him on the mat. Didn't matter. Merab is just too good at what he does … and it seems like he's getting better at it. If he's gonna start throwing out nasty submissions now? Fuck it, shut it down. And then we gotta show Cory Sandhagen standing in the crowd looking like a middle school kid tryna act tough? Yeah, we're not loving that guy's chances. Plus, Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes?
