What happens when you wake up one day and realize you've been asleep for 20 years successful on paper, but dead inside? For Brian "Dixon" Dixon, that realization came after a near fatal pulmonary embolism. But it didn't have to. In this powerful episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Brian Dixon, Colorado based adventurer, speaker, and author of the upcoming book Hold My Beer, I'm Going to Change My Life. Dixon shares his raw, personal journey from decades of misalignment, chasing the wrong career, surrendering his dreams, and becoming a "man zombie," to a life changing breakthrough at age 52, when he finally launched a paraglider off Lookout Mountain, a dream he had buried for 25 years. Gerald and Dixon explore the "provider trap" that causes so many men to lose themselves, the small signals of misalignment we ignore until a crisis hits, and the antidote: Hold My Beer energy, a non negotiable, committed launch toward the one thing that still lights you up. Dixon offers a simple "man zombie test" to check in with yourself, explains why most people never recover their fire, and proves that it's never too late to stop talking about the old days and start living the new ones. Whether you're feeling stuck, burned out, or just vaguely numb, this episode will give you the permission and the push to say, "Hold my beer, I've got something I need to do." Ready to wake up? Listen now and learn how one committed launch can start a positive flywheel that changes everything.   What We Discuss [00:00] Introduction [02:01] Meet Brian "Dixon" and his upcoming book [04:39] The "hold my beer" moment that changed everything [05:35] Living 20 years in misalignment and autopilot [06:46] Financial collapse and personal reset after 2008 [07:42] The life-threatening health scare that sparked change [09:12] Rediscovering a lost dream: paragliding off Lookout Mountain [10:56] Turning one decision into a life transformation [13:55] Defining "hold my beer energy" [14:27] The hidden danger of the provider trap [17:55] Losing yourself in responsibility and routine [19:00] Why making time for yourself is essential [20:52] How to realign your life before a crisis hits [22:09] The "man zombie test" and self-check questions [24:05] Tackling misalignment one decision at a time [25:11] Why commitment, not interest, drives transformation [26:19] Building a positive momentum flywheel [27:08] Reigniting passion at any stage of life [30:13] Signs you're losing your fire and how to reverse it [31:56] It's never too late: overcoming the "I'm stuck" mindset [34:35] Where to find Dixon and what's next  Notable Quotes [05:56] "My passion and my fire for life went to sleep, and I call it a man zombie stage. I basically went into autopilot for 20 years." – Brian Dixon [08:35] "After the pulmonary embolism, I said: I am halfway through my life. I am 44 years old and I have been asleep this whole time." – Brian Dixon [15:21] "I feel like men can lose themselves inside of that provider ship piece – they don't have any guardrails for their own dreams." – Brian Dixon [21:56] "The big thing is, it's tough for men to actually know they're asleep. If you're taking a nap in the middle of the night, you don't know you're asleep." – Brian Dixon [22:23] "When is the last time you did something just for you? Not for your boss, not for your spouse, not for your kids? These check-in questions can help you avoid the hospital." – Brian Dixon [24:20] "Eat the elephant one step at a time. Find the one thing that's most misaligned. Then hold my beer – non-negotiable. Nothing's going to stop me." – Brian Dixon [24:44] "When you launch a paraglider, we call it a committed launch. Life or death. That's how you should treat Hold My Beer." – Brian Dixon [30:56] "If you ever find yourself where most of your conversation is about how things used to be, that's a trigger signal. Your fire is going out. You should be talking about what you're planning on doing right now." – Brian Dixon [31:35] "You don't quit snowboarding when you get old. You get old because you quit snowboarding." – Brian Dixon [33:59] "It's never too late if you can kindle that fire again." – Brian Dixon   Resource and Links Brian "Dixon" Dixon Website: www.gowithdixon.com Book: Hold My Beer, I'm Going to Change My Life (coming Fall)   Productivity Smarts Podcast Website - productivitysmartspodcast.com Gerald J.

While divorce rates among younger adults have declined in recent decades, one demographic is experiencing a dramatic rise in separation: adults over 45. According to research from Bowling Green State University, roughly one-third of all U.S. divorces now occur among couples in midlife and beyond—a phenomenon often referred to as “gray divorce.” The American Psychological Association notes that these life transitions can bring major emotional, financial, and identity-related challenges, while also opening the door to profound resilience, reinvention, and personal growth. In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Heather Theisen-Gándara, founder of Reignite Collective, to explore what it truly means to rebuild life after divorce—and why women over 40 are discovering that their next chapter can become their most powerful one yet. Dr. Theisen-Gándara shares her remarkable journey from rural Wisconsin to becoming an internationally experienced leader, educator, and mentor. As the first person in her family to hold a passport, her life expanded through extensive work and travel across Latin America, where she developed fluency in Spanish and a deep passion for cross-cultural connection. With a Doctorate in Educational Leadership, a Master's in Counseling, and more than two decades of experience in international diplomacy and large-scale organizational leadership, she has partnered with global organizations including the United States Department of State, ExxonMobil, and Baker Hughes. But behind the impressive résumé was a deeply personal reinvention story. After the end of a 24-year marriage, Dr. Theisen-Gándara faced the emotional and financial realities that many women experience after divorce. Instead of allowing that season to define her, she rebuilt from the ground up—reclaiming financial independence, prioritizing wellness, losing nearly 100 pounds, and rediscovering her confidence, identity, and purpose. Through Reignite Collective, she now helps women navigate holistic recovery after divorce by focusing on emotional healing, wellness, financial empowerment, self-confidence, and personal style. Her message is both compassionate and transformational: divorce is not the end of a woman's story—it can be the beginning of her most empowered chapter. In this conversation, we discuss: This episode is a powerful reminder that healing and reinvention are possible at any stage of life—and that sometimes the most beautiful chapters begin after everything changes.     For more information: https://www.reignitecollective.com/ Follow: @HeatherGlowsAgain   Learn more about your ad choices.

Air Date - 12 May 2026Women over 50 have been erased from the conversation about sex, beauty, desire, and pleasure for decades. They're either the punchline, the advice-giver, or completely invisible. For years, the world has handed women clinical, hollow answers. It's your hormones. It's just aging. It's the natural decay of a long-term marriage. Buy the cream. Take the pill. Try harder. But what if none of those explanations is the truth? Blending clinical expertise, nervous system and hormone science, raw midlife marriage truth, and laugh-out-loud real talk, Dr. Julie Merriman (aka Dr. Juls, The Midlife Sexpert™) joins me to talk about this and so much more.About the Guest:Dr. Julie Merriman is a licensed mental health clinician, counselor educator, burnout researcher, author, and speaker. As the founder of the Soul Joy brand, she is a leading authority for women over 50 who are navigating the intersection of professional burnout and personal intimacy.With over 30 years of clinical experience and academic leadership—including tenures as a professor, department head, and associate dean—Dr. Merriman has dedicated her career to the science of helping humans. Her work is deeply rooted in polyvagal theory and somatic neurobiology, providing a bridge between academic rigor and soul-led transformation.Her personal journey through profound burnout and a subsequent breast cancer diagnosis informs her “scorched earth” approach to healing—proving that rebirth is possible at any age.

What happens when you realize your life is drifting in a direction you didn't choose? For Sarah Allred, that moment came while sitting on the couch, eating Cheetos and watching The Bachelor… just days into her husband's medical school journey. That wake-up call sparked something deeper. Not a desire for money, but a need for growth, purpose, and identity. In this episode, Tyler sits down with Sarah Allred to unpack her journey from teaching photography classes in a tiny apartment to building a business around what she calls the “final 10 percent” that actually gets people to take action. This conversation goes far beyond tactics. It is about identity, evolution, and the courage to let go of what once worked so you can step into what truly matters. What You'll Learn The moment Sarah Allred realized she had to become an entrepreneur How she turned a simple skill into her first business What the “final 10 percent” means and why most businesses miss it Why storytelling is the real driver behind conversions and connection The hidden struggle behind visible success and what it taught her How to identify your unique edge instead of copying others The bold decision that completely transformed her business Why letting go of profitable work can unlock your next level Lessons from mentors who shaped her journey How autonomy plays a role in building the life you actually want Chapters 00:00 Meet Sarah Allred and why this conversation matters 01:34 The moment entrepreneurship became necessary 03:48 Her first step into business with photography 05:09 What she is building today and the “final 10 percent” 06:17 Why storytelling is the missing piece in business 07:24 Mentors who shaped her path 11:28 Navigating challenges and identity during tough seasons 13:20 Discovering her true strength and business breakthrough 15:08 The major shift that changed everything 17:05 Letting go of what no longer serves you 19:02 Reigniting passion and showing up differently 20:05 The idea behind her podcast and autonomy 24:25 Lessons from Detroit that changed her perspective 27:39 Final reflections and personal growth

Tim Schweiger talks about his early days with Yesterday's Kids — how a homemade Everly Brothers pop-punk tape landed them a deal on Ben Weasel's Panic Button Records — and the lessons learned from years of grinding tours, before finding his footing as a solo artist and frequent collaborator with Tommy Stinson of The Replacements.Tim digs into the realities of the modern music industry, the rotating cast of musicians that make up the Middlemen, the joy of slipping covers (Madonna's "Borderline," The Beatles' "Hey Bulldog") into live sets, and talks about an unreleased track featuring Dan McMahon. He also opens up about raising a musically gifted daughter, his 75 voice memos worth of songs waiting to be recorded, upcoming shows in Milwaukee and Madison, and a summer run of dates back on the road with Tommy Stinson.Plus: the Fox Cities band Tim wishes would reunite and what he says makes a show — or a song — truly successful.https://timschweigerandthemiddlemen.bandcamp.com0:00 Introduction & Tim's Background1:11 Coming Out of Hibernation Post-COVID2:14 Yesterday's Kids & The Obsoletes: Are They Done?4:02 Panic Button Records & the Realities of Early Touring4:33 Has Touring Changed?

BULLETIN: TRUMP FIRES ATTORNEY GENERAL - SEASON 4 EPISODE 75 Trump, who attacked Iran to distract from his cover-up of and culpability in the Epstein Files disaster (and the malfeasance of his Attorney General Pam Bondi in mishandling those files) has now fired Bondi in part to distract from his attack on Iran - thus refocusing the world's attention ON the Epstein Files. Todd Blanche is the interim replacement, Lee Zeldin among the candidates for the permanent job, and a British newspaper reports the tipping point was Trump's rage that Bondi had not jailed any of Trump's democratic opponents. The Daily Mail also says he was furious Bondi seemed to have intervened in a plan to release the investigatory files on Congressman Eric Swalwell, even though Swalwell had been cleared by the FBI.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Francisco shares his research into the links between Indian and Tibetan tantric practices and the mystical teachings of Shi'ite Islam, reveals the prevalence of lucid dreaming techniques in antiquity, and emphasises the importance of the Silk Road in transmitting esoteric knowledge between civilisations. Francisco discusses the Islamic yogi, Jâbir ibn Ḥayyān; traces the historical tensions between the scholarly, jurist factions and mystics within Shi'ism; and asserts that Iranian Buddhism was a key part of the Islamic Golden Age. Francisco also argues for significant Islamic influence on Buddhism, the need for a sense of civilisational greatness, and why he believes the time has to come to reignite sacred chivalry. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep354-islamic-mysticism-tantric-buddhism-francisco-jose-luis Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:02 - Lucid dreaming techniques in a 19th century Shi'ite text 03:34 - The focal point of the Shi'ite tradition 04:28 - 4 volume Shi'ite encyclopaedia of dreams 06:21 - Links between Tibetan and Shi'ite dream yoga techniques 08:01 - Silk road, Gandhāra, and the internationalisation of Buddhism 09:07 - Jâbir ibn Ḥayyān, the Islamic alchemist and “Buddhist yogi” 11:06 - Iranian Buddhist influence on the Golden Age of Islam 14:26 - The rise of the scholar 16:20 - Islamic influence on Buddhism 17:04 - Practice over dogma in Oḍḍiyāna 19:11 - The influence of Classical Greece 19:51 - Lucid dreaming in antiquity 22:27 - Hesychasm: a Christian breath, body, and mind meditation 25:16 - A prophet is always awake 26:19 - Rosary and the influence of Christianity on Islam 28:01 - Lucid dreaming and the Desert Fathers 31:54 - Sleep deprivation to achieve mystical states 37:51 - Bardo ideas and the Iranian worldview 40:49 - Monastic routine and lucid dreaming 42:57 - Tasks to complete in the dream 43:28 - Angelic possession and contacting the Imam in dreams 50:28 - Is mystical Shi'ism practiced today? 58:22 - Francisco's initiation and anti-mystical, Occidental materialism 59:20 - Political Shi'ism 01:01:41 - Attachment to matter to the detriment of spirit 01:02:07 - The need for the spirit for civilisational greatness 01:04:13 - Francisco's mentoring 01:07:14 - Reigniting sacred chivalry 01:08:07 - Plato, Evola, and Traditionalism 01:10:19 - Use of the letter “a” in Shi'ite mysticism and other tantric similarities 01:11:13 - Entheogen use in Iranian mysticism 01:12:06 - Francisco's mushroom trip 01:13:23 - Francisco's aims 01:15:22 - Reading recommendations: Henry Corbin and Mostafa Vaziri 01:19;18 - Buddhism in Iran … Previous episodes with Dr Francisco José Luis: - https://www.guruviking.com/ To find our more about Dr Francisco José Luis, visit: - https://www.instagram.com/hludvig_tradicionalista For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James

Research shows that Gen Z will be the first generation to score lower on standardized tests than their parents. A number of educators argue that the arrival of technology in the classroom was the downfall. They say that the smartboards, laptops, and other technology geared at helping schools modernize and helping kids keep up has set students back. What can reignite kids' love of learning? The leaders of the Rochester Education Foundation's Smile program say its hands-on learning experiences are boosting students' STEM skills and their passion for education — without relying exclusively on tech. We discuss it with our guests.

Christa sits down with Andrea Clark, marriage and family therapist with 28 years of experience helping thousands of women reignite spark, polarity, and devotion in their marriages. Andrea breaks down the overfunctioning-underfunctioning dynamic that kills attraction and explains how it's deeply connected to masculine and feminine polarity. They discuss why women often take on masculine energy in their marriages (managing, controlling, doing everything), how this creates distance and resentment, and what it looks like to create space for your husband to step up. Andrea offers practical guidance on how to stop overfunctioning without becoming passive, how to access your feminine energy without losing yourself, and why polarity matters for desire and connection. If you're exhausted from carrying the mental load and wondering why the spark is gone, this conversation will help you understand the deeper pattern at play.

Send a textWant your desire back without pretending you're who you were at 22? We sit down with therapist and sex therapist Brooke Bray Love to unpack how midlife women can rekindle pleasure by changing the script—less waiting to feel “spontaneous,” more creating conditions where desire can actually show up. Brooke brings two decades of clinical experience and a candid voice to topics most people still whisper about, from scheduling sex to why clitoral stimulation isn't optional for most women.We explore the big shift from spontaneous to responsive desire and why planning “sexy time” is a sign of care, not failure. Brooke breaks down practical tools—lube for hormonal changes, vibrators as legitimate aids, erotica for mental priming—and reframes “owning your orgasm” as the fastest route to confidence and clear communication. If penetration-only sex leaves you cold, you're not broken; the data says expand your menu. We also talk about how to build a transition ritual that guides your nervous system from stress to sensual, using breathwork, bilateral stimulation, and mindful touch to create safety and arousal.The conversation goes deeper into fantasies, polarity, and parts work: how strong, capable women can crave softness or submission without betraying themselves, and why fantasy is a laboratory for balance, not a contract to act. We offer a simple activity consensus tool to find overlap in desires, so you can try one aligned novelty at a time. And because culture starts at home, we share how to talk to kids about accurate body terms, consent as an ongoing process, masturbation without shame, and ethical context for porn—moving from fear to education.If you're ready to trade scripts that center someone else's pleasure for a life that centers your own, this is your roadmap.

On this episode of the podcast, ER physician and healthcare entrepreneur Dr. Ron Elfenbein joins the show to tell a story few Americans have heard from the inside.During the height of COVID-19, Dr. Elfenbein helped source PPE, designed intubation boxes, and worked to distribute monoclonal antibody treatments when hospitals were overwhelmed and options were limited. But after publicly criticizing the Biden Administration's decision to halt monoclonal antibodies and questioning vaccine mandates, Dr. Elfenbein found himself under federal indictment for healthcare fraud — charges stemming from billing disputes he says were selectively and politically pursued.After a grueling trial, a District Court acquitted him due to insufficient evidence to support the jury's verdict. But despite that acquittal, the weaponized Department of Justice has appealed the case, forcing Dr. Elfenbein back into court this August.If you would like to follow Dr. Elfenbein on X you can do so by searching for his handle: @RonElfenbeinMD.

Show Notes S4E1 Burnout isn't just a buzzword — it's a lived experience for many clinicians working in hospital settings. In the Season 4 premiere of Acute Conversations, co-hosts Dr. Leo Arguelles and Dr. Danny Young are joined by Kelly Murphy, PT, DPT; Maria Tucker, PT, DPT; and Laura Cataldo, MOT, OT to unpack what burnout really looks like in acute care — and what can actually be done about it. Drawing from their published work in the Journal of Acute Care Physical Therapy and their experience leading a departmental burnout initiative at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, the guests break down how burnout is defined, how it can be measured, and why it so often goes unrecognized until clinicians are already depleted. They explore the core components of burnout — emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and diminished personal accomplishment — and why acute care environments uniquely intensify each one. The conversation goes beyond awareness to action, highlighting both individual strategies and system-level interventions that can help clinicians reconnect with purpose while still navigating high-acuity, high-demand settings. From grounding techniques that work mid-shift to organizational changes that foster transparency, recognition, and trust, this episode offers a practical and hopeful framework for clinicians who want to keep showing up — without losing themselves in the process. Today's Guests: Kelly Murphy PT, DPT kamurphy0615@gmail.com Maria Tucker PT, DPT mtucker4@bidmc.harvard.edu Laura Cataldo MOT, OT lecataldoqu@gmail.com Guest Quotes: 11:14 Laura “ …in our research, it, burnout is not something that can be fixed by doing individual interventions alone. And in a setting such as a hospital, or other large organizations, you really have to focus on organizational changes as well to have an effect on burnout.” 26:21 Maria “… another like self-reflection piece is like, yeah, we’re burnt out, but also our managers and leadership and everybody, like they’re burnt out as well. … but realizing and saying, they can be burnt out and they are burnt out and we’re just experiencing a different area of burnout or a reason for burnout. But at the end of the day, we all have the same like kind of feelings.” 32:05 Kelly “ I think it just brought general awareness to how good it feels to remind our staff. Shout each other out or thank someone for their help thing. And then, gosh, I still, to this day, every day on my commute home on the train there’s one intervention that we talk about in here. Three good things. I still do that every day on the way home because I’m like, you know what? Even if this was the worst day ever and my patients. Really had a hard day all day. I can still choose three good things, even if it’s not patient care related.” Rapid Responses:  What’s your best stress relief activity on the weekends when you’re not working?  Ski and golf. Oh, we’re all answering…I like going for a walk with my dog. You know you work in acute care when… Laura “When your knee deep in bodily fluids” Maria “ When you have determined both your worst and best outcome for every single patient before you enter the room.” Kelly “ When you come down to lunch and different scrubs and you start out the day in… Or if you’re throwing away your sneakers, like it’s beyond just a bleach wipe.” Links: https://journals.lww.com/jacpt/abstract/2025/04000/assessing_and_managing_prevalence_of_burnout_in.1.aspx

Air Date 12/30/2025 The Monthly-ish Mix™ is here to get you caught up on recent news without being overwhelming! This month we start with the infrastructure of imperial violence—from Dick Cheney's legacy to the arms race to Sudan's genocide. Then we expose how power exploits ordinary people through predation and financialized desperation. But here's the thing: resistance is working and the facade is crumbling. From courtroom wins to Mamdani's victory to young Republicans fleeing and conspiracies consuming the right, we end on the insight that authoritarian control is far more fragile than it pretends.
