Ben and Brent kick off The FAN Morning Show's final hour of the week talking Blue Jays and the team's recent run of form. Sportsnet's own Shi Davidi joins the conversation to discuss Toronto's main needs as they near the midway mark of the season. He looks into how to address the starting rotation, why moving Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to third in the order has payed off, who (or what) could carry this team to the postseason, and the odd man out in the Jays' soon to be overcrowded outfield. To end the week, the boys revisit Connor McDavid's situation in Edmonton as he heads into the final year of his contract (25:29). Ben and Brent investigate what could sway his decision to stay in Edmonton, what the organization could do to make sure he's happy, and where his other main destinations might be.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Why does a 72-year-old play about 333-year-old witch trials still feel urgently relevant today? Arthur Miller's The Crucible has become theater's ultimate evergreen story, because it captures something timeless and terrifying about human nature—our willingness to destroy each other when fear takes hold.When Miller's play premiered on January 10, 1953, audiences immediately understood it wasn't really about Salem. This was Miller's bold response to McCarthyism, a thinly veiled critique of Senator Joseph McCarthy's communist witch hunts that were tearing through American society. Miller had taken the Salem witch trials and transformed them into a mirror, forcing 1950s America to confront its own capacity for panic and persecution.But here's what makes The Crucible truly remarkable: it didn't stop being relevant when McCarthyism ended. In our current era, when we're so quick to label people as enemies and deny their humanity, Miller's allegory feels more essential than ever. The play's central question—what happens when a community turns against itself in search of hidden enemies—remains one of the most important questions we can ask.Whether you know the play from school, the stage, or the screen, whether you have family who lived through the Red Scare or ancestors who witnessed Salem's trials, The Crucible speaks to something universal about the human condition. It reminds us that in times of crisis, we all face the same choice: Will we stand with the mob, or will we find the courage to stand for justice?Buy the book: The Red Scare by Clay RisenBuy the Play: The Crucible by Arthur MillerBuy the book: The Enemy Within by John DemosHelp Us Build Our Patreon Community⁠⁠The Thing About Witch Hunts WebsiteThe Thing About Salem WebsiteCheck out our new podcast: The Thing About Salem on YouTube!⁠⁠Sign up for our Newsletter⁠⁠Donate to The Thing About Witch Hunts Fieldwork Fund

Welcome to "Messenger to Messiah," our exploration of the timeless message of Malachi on the Gospel Spice podcast. In this first lesson of our six-part series, Stephanie Rousselle, our teacher, walks us through the timely relevance of the Book of Malachi for our contemporary generation. Our series aims to dive into the intricacies of Malachi's message, with an emphasis on its pertinence to today's societal landscape. Stephanie approaches this study with humility and the hope that it serves you meaningfully! You are invited to purchase the workbook that contains everything you need to take your experience of the Book of Malachi deeper! For each of the six lessons, you will find a complete listening guide, questions to go deeper (on your own, with a friend, or a group), as well as a worksheet to study further themes. Go to https://www.gospelspice.com/malachi for more. And BONUS! We're giving you all the workbook content for THIS EPISODE, the first in the series, completely for FREE! Go to  https://www.gospelspice.com/malachi to download it as our gift to you. The Book of Malachi, the last book of the Old Testament, addresses the pressing question, "Lord, how have you loved us?" This question, emerging from a context of hardship and perceived abandonment, resonates with the existential uncertainties we often face. This inquiry transcends time, mirroring our own struggles to see God's love during difficult times. Malachi's name, meaning "my messenger," underscores the significant role of his prophecy. The etymology of the name is echoed in Malachi's life, calling and message. Its implications draw parallels between earthly and angelic messengers throughout the Old Testament. We are also offered a detailed historical backdrop, mapping the trajectory from Moses through the judges, kings, and the era of Babylonian exile, leading to the restoration under leaders like Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah. This historical perspective enriches our understanding of Malachi's audience—people who had endured a tumultuous past yet stood at the cusp of spiritual revival. Malachi interprets the juxtaposition of God's love for Jacob and rejection of Esau. The discourse around love ('ahav' in Hebrew) emphasizes God's unwavering choices and the perceived enmity of Esau's lineage, the Edomites, against Israel. In looking forward, Malachi's prophecy foreshadows the role of messengers like John the Baptist, preparing the way for Jesus, who is the ultimate Messenger. This anticipation reflects our own call to serve as messengers in the world today, spreading God's love and laying the groundwork for spiritual awakening in the Name of Jesus, our Christ and King. Stephanie concludes by encouraging us to recognize God's love in both blessings and adversities. She challenges us to list God's blessings, seeing His hand in every circumstance, much like Paul's thorn that became an opportunity for divine glorification. This series is an invitation to embrace the words of Malachi not merely as historical accounts, but as vibrant truths applicable in our lives. Malachi urges us to become aware of our roles as God's messengers today. You are invited to journey with us through this series and to seek to understand how God's love permeates every aspect of our existence. We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.

"What if failure isn't a flaw, but a feature of our human learning system?"In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession explores how shame and performance-driven identities can distort our future and block authentic growth. Instead of striving for perfection, Rebecca invites us to see failure as a sacred curriculum, the very path to wisdom, resilience, and purpose.Drawing from both neuroscience and scripture, she reframes the way we relate to setbacks in business and life, showing how reflection, not regret, is the path to character and calling.In this episode, you'll learn:How shame traps the brain in survival mode,  and how stillness helps rewire it for growth.Why reframing failure fuels dopamine and neuroplasticity better than success alone.A spiritual and scientific approach to letting go of guilt and embracing your true identity.Things to listen for:(00:00) Intro(00:51) The power of letting go of shame(01:41) The trap of perfectionism in business(03:43) Embracing failure as a feature(04:28) Spiritual awakening and presence(08:40) The impact of shame on the brain(11:50) Biblical examples of redemption(17:47) Reframing failure in business(23:00) The role of dopamine in learningConnect with Rebecca:https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/Free webinars - New dates added continually: https://shop.standtallinyourstory.com/products/free-webinar-reconnect-recharge-moving-from-disconnected-to-deeply-fulfilledBusiness is Human Masterclass: https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/businessishumanmasterclass

Origins in Lev Vygotsky's work: helping people accomplish tasks with support. Relevance to hoarding and recovery. Application of Scaffolding to Hoarding Recovery Psychological, cognitive, and emotional elements in hoarding. Physical and organisational skill deficits in people who hoard. Differences and interplay between psychological barriers and practical skills. Illustrating support levels: from high assistance to independence. Personal examples demonstrating that support needs can resurface over time. The Changing Nature of Scaffolding Scaffolding shifts in form and amount as people progress or encounter setbacks. Individualisation: What's supportive for one may not be for another. Types of Scaffolding for Hoarding Recovery External supports: therapists, peers, coaches. Direct instruction and physical assistance. Environmental modifications. Tools and resources. Social encouragement and accountability. Assessing current functioning. Matching support to challenge level (not too easy, not too hard). Gradually reducing support as independence grows. Scaffolding for Neurodivergent Individuals Adjustments for ADHD: Shorter work periods, built-in breaks. Accountability partners and visual reminders/checklists. Adjustments for Autism: Predictable routines. Clear rules and decision trees. Sensory-friendly environments. Executive Function Challenges and Tailored Scaffolding Strategies like breaking down decisions, using templates, "parking lot" systems for deferred decisions. Recognising that executive function can be context-specific and fluctuate. Importance of Emotional Scaffolding Emotional regulation during dehoarding. Need for self-soothing and distress-tolerance skills as support is reduced. Informal and Internal Scaffolding Peer support, self-talk, problem solving, reminders. Adapting systems in the home as a supportive structure. Habituation and Evolvement of Support Systems Reminder fatigue and strategies to combat it (rotating formats, colours, locations). The necessity for systems to evolve as needs and effectiveness change. Mindset Shifts and Realistic Expectations Acceptance that supports may need to be re-engaged during crises or setbacks. Not viewing return to scaffolding as failure - progress and healing aren't linear. Testing assumptions about personal limitations. Re-evaluating and Customising Support Creating, testing, and modifying practical systems in the home with or without outside perspective. Recognising the value of trying new strategies even if initial skepticism exists.

“When we ignore our personal, emotional, and social needs, we end up striving instead of thriving.”In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession unpacks how the modern obsession with control, metrics, and optimization can disconnect us from what really fuels growth—our authentic human needs.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of OnBase, host Chris Moody sits down with Lydia Hutchison for a powerful conversation on what works in modern B2B prospecting. Lydia explains why typical AI-personalized messages fail to cut through and how relevance, rooted in deep customer understanding, wins every time.She unpacks her triple-touch framework, the value of tone and timing, and the human psychology that underpins effective outreach. Lydia also reveals her favorite high-converting tactic that combines manual research with real-time relevance. If you're struggling with connect rates, sequence performance, or objection handling, this episode offers a fresh, actionable perspective.Key TakeawaysRelevance Trumps Personalization: Generic personalization wastes the prospect's time. Relevance speaks directly to their daily pain and success metrics—and that's what drives replies.Triple-Touch Strategy Works: Lydia advocates a three-channel approach—phone, LinkedIn, email—for testing message resonance and adjusting in real-time based on feedback.Lead with Psychology, Not Scripts: Authentic, thoughtful outreach begins with understanding how people accomplish their tasks—and how you can help them do it more effectively.Objections Aren't Always Real: Recognize the difference between a true objection and simple disinterest. Learn to use tone, timing, and multichannel follow-up to stay human and helpful.AI is a Research Assistant, Not a Salesperson: When used well, AI can support better outreach by helping reps research personas and challenges, but it shouldn't write your messages for you.Quotes“Everybody is getting their job done without you. So your job is to show them how to do it better—not tell them they're doing it wrong.”Best Moments (0:56) Lydia Hutchison's Journey into Sales (2:59)Developing Expertise in Sales Execution and Prospecting  (8:00) Differentiating Relevance and Personalization in Prospecting(12:09) Key Factors to Make a Sales Message Stand Out (14:19) Example of Focusing on Relevance Over Personalization (16:27) Process for Ensuring Consistent and Compelling Messaging Across Sales Teams(18:34) Approaching Objection Handling (20:33) Actionable Advice for Struggling Prospecting Teams Shout-outsJason Bay – Lydia recommends Jason for practical advice on sales openers and messaging, especially for go-to-market teams.

In this episode, we detail the oral microbiome and its relationship with the intestinal microbiome, detailing the oral-gut microbiota axis. We discuss the stepwise development of oral biofilm, the transition from plaque to dental calculus, and potential systemic impacts of oral dysbiosis, while highlighting intestinal health and focusing on Fusobacterium nucleatum. We then detail possible symptoms of oral dysbiosis as well as testing modalities. Topics:1. Overview of the Oral Microbiome and the Oral-Gut Axis - The oral cavity and the gut: microbially dense sites. - These regions are anatomically distinct but connected and capable of influencing each other. - The oral microbiome: bacterial species, fungi, viruses, archaea, protozoa. - Microbial distribution is influenced by the topography and chemistry of various oral surfaces. 2. Oral Cavity Anatomy and Microenvironments - The oral cavity is divided into the vestibule and oral cavity proper. - Lined by oral mucosa, which varies in structure. - These anatomical variations create unique ecological niches that support different microbial populations. 3. Tooth Structure and Relevance to Microbial Colonization - Teeth are embedded in the alveolar processes of the maxilla and mandible. - Tooth structure. - Long-term microbial colonization and biofilm development. 4. Biofilm / Dental Plaque Development - Biofilm begins with the formation of the acquired pellicle.- Pioneer species secreting extracellular polymeric substances (EPS).- Secondary colonizers coaggregate.- Coaggregation is species-specific.- Example.- Aerobes can lower local oxygen levels, creating micro anaerobic niches that support obligate anaerobes. 5. Maturation of the Biofilm  - Biofilm composition shifting to anaerobic, proteolytic species such as P. gingivalis. - F. nucleatum: a bridge species. 6. Mineralization and Formation of Dental Calculus - Mineralization, calcium and phosphate deposition. - Dental calculus. - Can promote further accumulation and worsen inflammation. 7. Oral Dysbiosis  - An imbalance in the oral microbial community. - Potential signs and symptoms. - Halitosis, swollen or bleeding gums, tooth sensitivity, new cavities, dry mouth or altered taste, recurrent infections, coated tongue, plaque buildup near the gumline. 8. Oral-Gut Axis and Systemic Implications - Physical, chemical, biochemical, and immunological barriers aid in preventing oral bacteria from colonizing the gut. - Oral bacteria can potentially impact intestinal health. -  F. nucleatum and IBD. 9.

“Data gives us clarity, but without vision, it can also lead us straight into confusion, fear, and burnout.”In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession unpacks how the modern workplace obsession with data can quietly disconnect us from purpose, progress, and people. Drawing from neuroscience, scripture, and her years as a coach and consultant, Rebecca explains how a relentless focus on analytics can put our nervous system into overdrive, and shut down the creativity and intuition we desperately need to lead well.Whether you're a manager overwhelmed by spreadsheet demands or a leader asking for one more dashboard to feel in control, Rebecca makes the case for returning to a more faith driven way of decision making. She reminds us that it wasn't spreadsheets that parted the Red Sea, it was vision, belief, and divine guidance.In this episode, you'll learn:How to recognize fear-driven leadership patterns masked as controlWhat neuroscience says about balancing analysis with intuitionActionable ways to reconnect to your purpose, your team, and your faithThings to listen for:(00:00) Intro(00:43) 90-Day summer reset program(01:25) The pitfalls of data overload(05:34) Balancing data with vision and intuition(11:20) Practical action plans for leaders(16:19) Measure your life by what God can achieveConnect with Rebecca:https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/

In this reprise episode of Ojai Talk of the Town, we sit down with writer and historian Mark Lewis to explore one of the most unsettling chapters in American cultural history — the Hollywood Blacklist. Mark's feature in the Fall 2015 issue of the Ojai Quarterly dove deep into the fear-fueled politics of the late 1940s and '50s, when actors, writers, and directors were exiled from the entertainment industry for alleged Communist ties.Many of those key figures lived in Ojai - names like Paul Jerrico, Michael Wilson and Dalton Trumbo, where they found a haven and an understanding community.Through richly detailed storytelling and incisive commentary, Mark reveals how the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) hearings not only destroyed careers but also reshaped Hollywood and American public life. We discuss the rise of informants, the toll on personal lives, and the eerie parallels between that Red Scare era and the social media-fueled cancel culture and political polarization of today.This conversation isn't just a history lesson — it's a warning. As we reflect on the past, we're forced to ask: how do we protect freedom of expression without falling prey to fear and conformity? We did not talk about Vaclav Smil's latest work, impending screw worm disasters or the rise of our new digital overlords.Don't miss this hauntingly timely discussion on art, politics, and the enduring fight for the soul of American storytelling.

More people watch YouTube on their televisions than any other streaming service, including Netflix, Disney+, or Amazon's Prime Video. However, despite a wide embrace from the public, as well as high-profile original programming from hosts and creators like Sean Evans, Amelia Dimoldenberg, and the Good Mythical Morning duo of Rhett and Link, the Television Academy has largely overlooked YouTube shows in its Emmy consideration. Challenge Accepted host Michelle Khare hopes that it will change sooner rather than later. Khare's nonfiction series is being submitted this year in the Best Hosted Nonfiction Series or Special category, alongside past winners such as David Letterman (My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman) and Stanley Tucci (Tucci in Italy).

Welcome to episode #984 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Steve Pratt knows how to earn attention - and not in the algorithm-chasing, trend-hopping way most marketers talk about it. As the co-founder of Pacific Content (the first agency dedicated to branded podcasts), Steve helped pioneer a model for long-form brand storytelling that respected the audience as much as it served the client. Before podcasting was a thing brands took seriously, Steve was guiding companies like Slack, Facebook, Shopify, BMW, Adobe, and Charles Schwabinto a new kind of media - one built on trust, consistency, and real creative value. That experience forms the foundation of his new book, Earn It - Unconventional Strategies For Brave Marketers. In this conversation, he unpacks why so many marketers are stuck in short-term thinking, how performance marketing is cannibalizing brand, and what it really takes to build content worth someone's time. There's insight here on the difference between being loud and being relevant, on why the future belongs to brave brands with a point of view, and how AI may flood the market with content - but only humans can still make something remarkable. Steve's career started in TV production, moved through digital innovation at CBC, and has now landed at the intersection of creativity, business strategy, and media design with his newest venture, The Creativity Business. His message is simple: the only brands that win long-term are the ones willing to put in the work, respect the audience, and be consistently great over time. For anyone wrestling with content strategy, podcasting, or how to think like a media company - this one's a masterclass. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 1:00:53.

In this episode we answer emails from Dave, Jeff and Peter.  We discuss a new risk parity ETF, ALLW, a social security claiming question and considerations, and how a listener has been misled regarding so-called dividend investing by misinterpreting a misleading source.Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterALLW Fund Main Page:   ALLW: SPDR® Bridgewater® All Weather® ETFOpen Social Security:  Open Social Security: Free, Open-Source Social Security CalculatorHartford Funds Dividend Fund Page:  The Power of Dividends: Past, Present, and FutureBen Felix Dividend Video:  The Irrelevance of DividendsBen Felix Dividend Video #2:  The Relevance of Dividend IrrelevanceBreathless Unedited AI-Bot summaryFinancial misconceptions can cost you dearly. This eye-opening episode tackles three critical investment topics that challenge conventional wisdom and may transform how you approach your portfolio.When State Street and Bridgewater Associates launched their All Weather ETF (ALLW), it promised the stability of risk parity with the pedigree of Ray Dalio himself. We dissect this new offering—examining its 175% leverage, complex asset allocation, and 0.85% expense ratio—to determine whether it delivers on its promises or falls into the same traps as similar products like RPAR and UPAR. For investors approaching retirement, understanding these nuances could be the difference between confidence and confusion in the decumulation phase.Delaying Social Security benefits remains one of retirement planning's most debated decisions. We cut through the noise of oversimplified break-even calculators to explore what truly matters: appropriate risk-free rate calculations, the value of guaranteed income streams, and perhaps most importantly, how your family's longevity history should influence your claiming strategy. For married couples, the analysis becomes even more critical as spousal benefits create powerful optimization opportunities that generic calculators often miss.The episode concludes by dispelling one of investing's most persistent myths: the magical power of dividends. When Hartford Research noted that "85% of the S&P 500's return came from reinvested dividends and compounding," many investors misinterpreted this to mean dividends themselves were responsible for these returns. We reveal how this fundamental misunderstanding leads investors astray, explain why dividend payments offer no advantage in today's zero-commission environment, and demonstrate why creating your own "dividend" through strategic selling provides superior tax control.Whether you're building wealth or planning your withdrawal strategy, these insights will help you see beyond marketing claims to make decisions based on financial reality rather than comforting illusions. Listen now to align your investment approach with actual market mechanics instead of persistent financial folklore.Have a question about risk parity investing or portfolio construction?
