In this short podcast episode, Bryan talks about considerations for washing commercial coils and water challenges techs might face. Despite being the topic of debate within the last several years, cleaning coils matters and will affect performance. When washing coils, we use Refrigeration Technologies Viper cleaners (especially Venom Packs) when we actually need cleaners. No matter which cleaner you use (or if you don't), you want some pressure and a high flow rate when rinsing, but keep in mind that some pressure-washers may produce too much pressure and too little flow; the sweet spot is around 300 PSI, and microchannel coils require extra caution. In terms of commercial maintenance contracts, we often have a lot of coils to wash and may not have adequate water access for the job. We find that the best move is to ask the client to install plumbing infrastructure that allows for better water access. If they refuse, you can increase the labor charge due to extra hose setups, reduced pressure, etc. The client must also be able to provide safe access to the coils; do not write a proposal or carry out a maintenance procedure if techs cannot carry out the work safely. Strict chemical policies are important, too. Water-first approaches are best; if a water wash is sufficient, use just water and only escalate to chemicals if there is a clear need for a stronger cleaning. If you use chemical cleaners, use the proper dilution ratio; over-concentrated cleaners can damage coils. Chemicals also require more rinsing, and it's more economical to do as little rinsing as possible. Pre-rinsing, adding cleaner from bottom to top, letting the cleaner dwell, and rinsing off is the ideal sequence. If you encounter water challenges on the ground, you can use a ground-based water trailer with a high-output, low-pressure washer attached. If the issue is on the roof, a battery-powered washer can help (like the Dewalt 20V MAX cordless power cleaner); they draw from vessels of water, like 5-gallon jerricans. Remove the casing if you need to (making sure the client pays for that additional labor), and rinse from the inside out.

I got a new house cleaner this week and days later I was still finding little details I had never noticed before. Nobody asked her to fold towels like origami or style the curtain ties. She did it because that is what mastery looks like up close. In this episode, I break down why the little touches are what make people remember you, why letting experts do what they do best actually multiplies your output, and why real clarity in life always comes from subtraction, not addition. Key Takeaways The little touches you add without being asked are what separate good from truly exceptional. Mastery shows in the details that others do not even know to look for until they see them. Letting other people operate in their zone of genius frees you to stay focused on yours. A small, personal gesture can create loyalty that lasts years and pays dividends you never expected. Clarity and growth come from subtraction. Remove toxic thoughts, clutter, and calendar noise before adding anything new. Action Steps Identify one area in your work or relationships where you can add an unasked-for detail that elevates the experience for someone else. List two tasks you are currently doing yourself that someone more skilled could handle, then take a real step toward delegating them. Audit your calendar, your mental habits, and your relationships this week and subtract at least one thing that is adding noise without adding value. Notable Quote The little touches are what say, I am a master of my craft. I have enough reps to know what separates me from everybody else.

The Warning We Have Forgotten #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT #USA250 #America250 #Nation250The Warning We Have Forgotten"Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock."— Matthew 7:24THE STORYWashington knew it would happen. He said so publicly, and then spent the rest of his life watching it begin.His Farewell Address, delivered in September 1796, is one of the greatest documents in American history and one of the least read. His warning was specific and urgent: "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports." Not helpful additions. Indispensable supports.He went further: "In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labour to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness." A man who works to remove religion and morality from public life, Washington said, has no business calling himself a patriot.He warned against excessive partisanship, foreign entanglements, and the accumulation of national debt. He named the temptations that would always threaten the republic and warned against them with the plainness of a man who had nothing left to gain and only the truth left to give. He was ignored on nearly every point. Promptly and comprehensively.THE REFLECTIONThere is something almost unbearably poignant about a great man's farewell wisdom being set aside by the very people he served. Washington had earned the right to be heard. And the warning he left was grounded not in political theory but in lived conviction: without God, republics fall.Matthew 7:24 is the conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount. The wise man builds on rock. The foolish man builds on sand. The difference between them is not intelligence or resources. It is whether they have heard Christ's words and done them.Washington was applying the same principle to a nation. Build on religion and morality and the storms will come and the house will stand. Remove those pillars and build on human cleverness, and the end is predictable.We have had two hundred and fifty years to test Washington's thesis. Every generation that has honored the pillars has prospered. Every generation that has subverted them has suffered. The warning was left for us. We still have time to hear it.THE PATRIOT'S PRAYERLord, we confess that we have been among the generations that neglected the warning of the wise. We have allowed the pillars to be weakened, in our public life, in our schools, in our homes. We repent of the neglect and ask You to help us rebuild. Let this anniversary be not merely a celebration but a rededication, a return to the rock on which this nation was founded. In Jesus' name, Amen.PRAY IT FORWARDWhat one thing can you do this week, in your home, your church, or your community, to strengthen the pillars of religion and morality that Washington called indispensable? Ask God to show you, and do it.

In this episode, I explain what “Attract Money on Autopilot” really means. Old thoughts, beliefs, expectations, and past experiences can create money blocks and keep you repeating the same results. When those patterns are running in the background, they can affect your relationship and results with money without you even realizing it. By beginning to rewire those patterns, you can become more open to attracting money naturally and creating a nice, steady flow. I also share details about my free Attract Money on Autopilot workshop.

Happy Father's Day to all the men who show up to provide for their families, I hope you remember to enjoy spending time with your children this weekend as you have earned it. Don't let others rob you of YOUR time, they will still be there on Monday, but your children will continue to grow older every day whether you participate in their lives or not. Remember to show them you care by spending your time in ways YOU choose that create happiness. Be the example of balance you want them to experience now, as well as learn how to treat their off-time and their own children when those days come.That means you have to start recognizing the excuses you allow to make up your day, and on a deeper level, your character. Each day, you wake up with the freewill to choose every action you make, or disregard. Stop making excuses and start focusing on executing. If you want something to happen, make a plan you can follow that will make it achievable. The plan isn't meant to be the only way to obtain your success, but to serve as a reminder of the goal and possible checkpoints if you find yourself straying from your motivation and commitment before completion.Don't say you are going to do things you know you have no intention of ever doing, that only makes your word that much weaker and unreliable. Justifying your excuses won't get you any closer to actually accomplishing your goals, it only wastes your precious time. Allowing others to overpower your values in order to fit in is ingenuine to who you are and will wear you down to someone unrecognizable. YOU have to be the one to stand your ground when it comes to your beliefs. If they truly love you, they will accept you even if they do not agree with your values. If they choose not to support your decisions, then maybe it is best to do it without them involved. Commitments are hard enough without justification of all the ways you can cheat yourself. Remove those obstacles now if you really care about seeing the mission accomplished. QUIT CHEATING ON YOU. Separate yourself from the people who don't share your values of success and enthusiasm for betterment as a human being. Discover those excuses you keep making, face them head-on so that you can eradicate those shady justifications, and move on intentionally towards the goals you desire most.

Martin Bosley joins Emile to share this recipe. You can replace the prunes with fresh dates if you wish, just make sure both have been pitted before using them. You will need a pie dish with a removable base about 20cm in diameter. Recipe below! Prune and Mascarpone Tart with Port Syrup Serves 12 600g Prunes or dates, pitted 100g Raw sugar 750ml Port 500g Sweet Pastry - store-bought is fine 60g Caster sugar 4 lemons, for the juice 600g Mascarpone 600ml Cream Put the pitted dates or prunes, the juice of 3 lemons, the raw sugar and port into a saucepan and pace over the heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain the dates from the syrup and set aside to cool. Place the syrup back in the saucepan and simmer until thick. Heat the oven to 200C. Rollout the pastry into a circle larger than the pie plate, leaving enough pastry to fold up around the edges. Carefully lift the pastry up and onto the pie plate, patching it up if required. Leave the excess pastry hanging over the edges. Line the pastry case with foil or baking paper, filled with baking beans or rice. Leave to chill in the fridge for 20 minutes. Bake the pastry case for 20 minutes, lift out the parcel of beans and return the pastry shell to the oven for another 10 minutes until pale gold in colour and dry to the touch. Beat the caster sugar, juice of one lemon, the mascarpone and cream until firm. Chop one third of the drained marinated prunes into the mascarpone mixture and combine together. Fill the tarts with the mascarpone and arrange the remaining prunes across the top. Pour the reduced syrup over the top just before serving.
Shoulder chops make for an economical lamb meal and by slow cooking them you get tender, succulent meat every time and the lemons and capers provide a great foil for any fattiness in the lamb. Serves 4 Ingredients 4-6 lamb shoulder chops ½ cup white wine ½ cup stock or water 1 tsp dried oregano ½ tsp season salt and grind of pepper 1 lemon, skin on, thinly sliced 1 bunch baby carrots, washed 6-8 garlic cloves 2 tbsps. capers Method Preheat oven to 170C. Lay the chops flat in a roasting dish. Add wine and stock (or water). Season with oregano, salt and pepper, then scatter over lemons slices and garlic cloves. Add carrots in one corner of the dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake for one and half hours. Remove the foil, scatter over capers and cook for a further 20-30 minutes, uncovered, until the lamb is nicely browned and falling from the bones. Before serving, tilt the dish and skim the fat, leaving only the cooking juices to drizzle over meat. Serve the lamb with either mashed potatoes or pumpkin and/or boiled peas. Nici's Note: I like to cook fatty meat dishes ahead of time, then cool it down and skim the excess layer of solidified fat off before reheating and eating – it's a little bit healthier and less heavy this way.

The long-running battle to remove Prince Andrew from Royal Lodge has been less about real estate and more about status, optics, and consequence. Royal Lodge, a sprawling property in Windsor Great Park, became a symbol of Andrew's continued proximity to royal privilege even after he stepped back from public duties following the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. As public pressure mounted and his formal roles were stripped away, questions intensified over why he continued to occupy one of the most prestigious royal residences. Reports indicated that King Charles sought to streamline royal finances and reduce the footprint of working royals, which in practice meant reassessing Andrew's position at Royal Lodge. The property carries substantial upkeep costs, and critics argued that a non-working royal facing serious reputational damage should not retain such a high-profile residence funded, directly or indirectly, through royal resources.The dispute reportedly stretched over years, marked by negotiations, financial maneuvering, and quiet but persistent pressure to relocate Andrew to smaller accommodations, such as Frogmore Cottage. Andrew resisted, citing the long-term lease he holds on Royal Lodge and asserting that he had privately funded renovations and maintenance. The standoff became a proxy war over accountability: whether symbolic consequences would match the gravity of the scandal that engulfed him. While Andrew maintained his right to remain under the lease terms, the broader monarchy faced reputational strain so long as he continued residing there. The struggle over Royal Lodge ultimately reflected the tension between legal entitlement and public legitimacy, underscoring how deeply the Epstein fallout reshaped Andrew's standing within both the Royal Family and public life.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In this episode of 5 O'Clock Apron Podcast, Claire is on home turf, in Bristol and walks to Dee Ryding's house. Dee is an undertaker and owns the funeral parlour Divine Ceremony. Dee calls herself an undertaker and champions the phrase “Lovers in Life – Helpers in Death” as the strapline to her business. It was a blazing hot day in June for this recording, Claire marching the short walk to meet with Dee and cook together in her bright, sunny kitchen in Bishopston. Claire knocks on the front door, to be met by Dee, already in an apron and raring to go with one of her favourite - very much battered and splattered - cookbooks to hand, 30 Minute Indian by Sunil Vijayakar published in the year 2000 by Octopus. Within minutes Claire and Dee are chopping and chatting together, cooking one of Dee's favourite curries from the book. It is a recipe Dee swears by, and cooks often for her family. Over the years, because Dee has now been cooking this recipe for a good many years now, Dee has made her own adjustments, tinkering with the recipe to suit her, and her children's tastes. Claire has wanted to cook with an undertaker for the podcast since way back in Series 1, and truthfully, this episode is everything Claire had hoped it would be. Dee and Claire discuss many topics as they cook, from the practical, such as artfully arranged spice drawers and a love of measuring spoons to the more profound, what happens to our bodies after we die and what impact Queen Victoria had on the modern funeral. There is a brief, but poignant moment in the recording, when Dee and Claire's discussion tackles some of the bigger questions life must throw at us, with Claire having to steady herself, her emotions getting the better of her, composure regained, the pair continue cooking, the curry smelling utterly delicious. This is an extraordinary episode of 5 O'Clock Apron Podcast, listen in, wherever you get your podcasts, as you cook along in your own kitchen and marvel at what a tonic food and cookery can be to everyday life, for everyone. Dee's Chicken and Cashew Nut Curry Recipe Serves 4 Ingredients; 1 onion, roughly chopped 4 tbsp tomato puree 1 heaped tbsp Greek style yogurt 2 garlic cloves Thumb sized piece of ginger, peeled Juice ½ lemon ¼ tsp ground turmeric 2 tsp garam masala 2 tsp salt 70g lightly toasted cashew nuts 800g diced, skinless chicken thigh 3 tbsp coconut oil, or use ghee or neutral oil 50g dried apricots, thinly sliced 300ml hot chicken stock, or use water 1- 3 tsp hot aubergine pickle 200g baby spinach leaves Big bunch of coriander, stalks finely chopped, leaves roughly chopped Method; In a food processor, add the onion, tomato puree, 50g of the cashew nuts, ginger, garlic, turmeric, lemon juice, yogurt, salt and garam masala and process to form a smooth, thick paste. In a large wide frying pan, add the coconut oil and the onion paste, cook the paste over a moderate heat for around 4 - 5 minutes, until the paste takes on a darker colour and begins to smell very fragrant. Add the diced chicken thighs and mix well to combine. Add the hot stock to the pan and add the apricots and coriander stalks. Give the pan a good mix and put a lid on the pan. Cook the curry over a moderate to low heat for around 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the lid, stir through the baby spinach leaves and add the hot aubergine pickle, more or less, and to taste. Check the seasoning, adding more salt, lemon juice, spicy pickle or use chopped fresh chilli, to taste. Serve with steamed rice or naan, roti or paratha and add the remaining cashews and the chopped coriander leaf to the top of the curry to serve. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner of Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: All about Eggs & Pasture Raised Chickens with Kristy, Deprescribing & “De-Supplementing” with Dr. Curt Dearing [0:00:00] Intro, Nutrition World Updates, and Ed's Bodybuilding Prep Ed announces a new partnership with Azure: Bringing ~100 new holistic food items into Nutrition World. Examples: maple syrup, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, organic chicken breast, cheeses, farm butters. Ed shares he's preparing for the Chattanooga Fitness Bodybuilding Contest (his 4th year): Being coached by Matt Davis (Train Station gym). Current approach: high protein, ~40% fewer calories, focused fat loss. Matt had him do a high-carb refeed day (~300g carbs vs his usual 50g) which dramatically improved his energy and look. [0:9:11] Protein, Longevity, and Why Ed Focuses on Eggs Ed emphasizes a higher-protein diet, especially for aging, muscle maintenance, and longevity. Core diet elements he advocates: Higher protein Healthy fats Colorful vegetables (in smaller but consistent amounts) Notes many women under-consume protein, which accelerates muscle loss and impacts longevity. Introduces guest Kristy, a long-time friend and staff member who homesteads and raises eggs that Ed eats 12–18 per week. [0:11:04] Homesteading with Kristy: How She Raises Chickens and Protects the Flock Kristy's setup: Around 100 chickens, plus goats, dogs, cats, and a donkey (Bradford). Lives “on the prairie” (rural, wooded property). Uses no chemicals on the property (no weed killers, pest sprays, etc.). She wants chickens to “do chicken things”—roam, peck, eat bugs, move soil—rather than be treated like pets or indoor animals. Predator control: No perimeter fence; previously lost some chickens to a fox attack. Now uses Bradford the donkey and a Great Pyrenees dog for protection: Donkey alerts and deters daytime predators like hawks and owls (stomping and loud calls). Pyrenees patrols at night, primarily deterring coyotes. Roosters herd hens into cover when threats appear. Motivator: Kristy's passion for knowing where her food comes from, and controlling at least part of her family's food system. [0:15:09] Structured Water, and Animal Hydration Kristy filters all animal water with a high-grade system (not just a basic fridge filter): Removes contaminants without completely stripping all minerals (not full RO). Then she “restructures” the water with a swirling device (structure unit): Mimics water flowing over rocks in nature, believed to add “life” and energy back to the water. She and Ed both report feeling better hydration from structured water (less persistent thirst). All of her animals receive this filtered/structured water. [0:17:26] Egg Production, Breeds, and Why Yolk Color Matters Kristy keeps multiple chicken breeds: Shell color = breed, not nutrition (white, brown, cream, etc., are just different breeds). Example: White Leghorn → white eggs, Rhode Island Red → darker brown eggs. Key nutritional indicator: yolk color She aims for deep orange yolks. Pale yellow yolks signal lower nutrient density, especially protein and nutrient intake from the chickens' diet. Production basics: Most hens lay about 5–6 eggs per week, especially in their first 3 years. Ed and Clint estimate she's getting hundreds of eggs per week in total. Kristy's flock policy: She has a “no-kill” policy for older hens, keeping them for tick and bug control and the social flock structure. Acknowledges some people cull flocks after 2–3 years, but she tends to keep productive, healthy hens past 4 years. [0:19:37] Industrial Eggs vs. Pasture-Raised: Animal Welfare and Nutrition Ed contrasts Kristy's setup with CAFO operations (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations): Chickens crowded in small cages, poor conditions, bad feed. Notes such operations often use antibiotics—partly for disease, but also because they fatten animals. Kristy's holistic management: No antibiotics; uses natural anti-parasite and immune support: Pumpkin seeds for worms Homegrown herbs like oregano and rosemary She builds a strong “terrain” (internal environment) in the animals so they resist disease better. Discussion that what chickens eat (seed oils, moldy grains, etc. in industrial systems) ultimately affects the nutritional quality of the eggs humans eat. Nutritional highlights of eggs: Choline in yolks (brain and cognitive health). A “perfect protein” with high biological value and broad micronutrients. Eggs historically rank at the top for turning dietary protein into muscle due to a complete amino acid profile. Cholesterol discussion: Ed challenges the blanket fear of cholesterol: Cholesterol supports hormone production and brain function. Notes that the real risk markers are advanced lipoproteins like ApoB and Lp(a), not total cholesterol alone. Personal example: Ed eats 12–18 eggs per week. & his cholesterol is extremely low by clinical standards. Conclusion: Quality eggs are encouraged, especially from pasture-based systems like Kristy's, or higher-quality options in stores. [0:23:15] “Organic” vs. “Pasture-Raised” and Misleading Egg Labels “Organic eggs”: fed organic feed but may still be confined indoors with no outdoor access. “Pasture-raised”: hens are outdoors on pasture, doing natural chicken behaviors; often superior in welfare and nutrition. Both agree: If forced to choose, pasture-raised is preferable to organic-only. They call out labels bragging about “vegetarian-fed” hens as misleading: Chickens are not natural vegetarians; they're omnivores that eat bugs. Forcing a vegetarian diet moves them away from their natural food and may reduce egg quality. Kristy shares a quirky but natural behavior: Chickens love scrambled eggs as a treat. She feeds them scrambled eggs and crushed shells. Rationale: Eggshells are rich in calcium, which hens need to build strong new shells. She simply cracks and throws shells; no elaborate processing.. [0:27:25] Refrigeration vs. Room-Temperature Egg Storage Kristy's explanation: Freshly laid eggs have a “bloom” or natural protective coating that makes them shelf-stable if not washed. Unwashed farm eggs can sit at room temperature for ~6 weeks or more. Store-bought eggs are washed and must be refrigerated, because washing removes that protective coating. You cannot safely leave standard grocery-store eggs on the counter. Ed highlights this as another example of nature's built-in protective design. [0:32:28] Deprescribing and “De-Supplementing” with Dr. Curt Dearing Ed reintroduces Dr. Curt Dearing to expand on a prior show about deprescribing (reducing excessive medications). Common scenario Curt sees: People on many prescription meds plus a large number of supplements, overwhelmed and confused. They want to simplify, optimize, and know what really matters. Curt's consult approach: Review all meds and all supplements, then: Remove what isn't necessary. Emphasize foundational lifestyle and core supplements. They warn about a false sense of security: Some people think “I'm taking a pill, so I don't have to change my habits.” This applies to both pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. [0:36:00] The Core Four, Lifestyle First, and Limits of Medication-Only Approaches Ed references his “Core Four” foundational supplements (detailed in a free ebook on The Holistic Navigator): Designed as tier 1 essentials vs. lower-tier “nice-to-have” supplements. Curt's stance: Diet and exercise are the primary pillars. Supplements should support, not replace, healthy habits. Example: People on metformin or berberine may keep eating poorly yet feel “covered” because their blood sugar numbers look better. This is managing symptoms, not addressing root causes. [37:15] “Beyond Cholesterol” and Advanced Heart Risk Testing Curt mentions his upcoming ebook “Beyond Cholesterol” (targeting Amazon release): Argues standard lipid panels (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL) are not enough. Advocates for advanced tests like ApoB, Lp(a), and coronary calcium scores. Example case: A patient with LDL of 212 on atorvastatin. Curt notes that LDL alone can be “dangerous or harmless” depending on the underlying particle types and inflammation. Coronary Calcium Score: Patient's score is 0, which is reassuring but not a free pass. Calcium score detects calcified plaque, not soft plaque, and doesn't capture inflammation. Curt emphasizes HS-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) as a marker of systemic inflammation, which drives soft plaque formation. [0:40:22] Medications in the Case Study: Statin, Nexium, Amlodipine, Zoloft Curt walks through a specific patient on multiple meds: Atorvastatin (statin) Curt questions its necessity given: Calcium score of 0 Lipid values that don't look catastrophic Recommends advanced lipid testing and provides patients with evidence-based reasons to discuss with their provider if they want to stop. Nexium (PPI) Discusses risks of long-term proton pump inhibitor use: Impaired absorption of magnesium, calcium, micronutrients Possible cognitive, kidney, and bone issues. Insists on a taper, not cold turkey, due to rebound reflux. Amlodipine (blood pressure med) Often can be tapered fairly quickly, especially when: Lifestyle changes are implemented (diet, exercise). Magnesium intake is optimized (many people take too little magnesium). Curt's view: conventional medicine often drives blood pressure too low in older adults; some elevation is physiologically adaptive. Zoloft (SSRI) Must be tapered, like most psychiatric meds, to avoid withdrawal and symptom flare. [0:46:10] Magnesium, Omega-3s, and Simplifying the Supplement Stack Curt reviews the patient's supplement list and simplifies: Multivitamin: Advocates a high-quality multi (not basic synthetics like Centrum). Prefers one that already includes CoQ10 (e.g., 100 mg), so separate CoQ10 can be discontinued. Vitamin D: Should be taken with vitamin K to direct calcium into bone and away from arteries and organs. Omega-3s: Many people take half the necessary dose. Recommends triglyceride-form omega-3s like DHA Extra (~960 mg DHA) for inflammation and blood pressure. Magnesium: Suggests glycinate or taurate forms for better absorption and blood pressure benefits. Probiotics: Curt suggests taking breaks (e.g., a month off) and rotating brands/strains, including spore-based types. Seasonal products: The patient takes quercetin + stinging nettle for allergies. Curt recommends seasonal use only for seasonal allergies, saving money and reducing pill fatigue. For lipids and blood sugar, Curt favors BerberCol (berberine + bergamot) to: Improve numbers (to satisfy doctors). More meaningfully affect ApoB and related risk markers. Weight & energy: Patient had been using weight-loss products. Curt shifts focus to fixing sleep and overall lifestyle rather than stacking more “fat burners.” Saffron: He distinguishes between saffron extracts for mood vs. saffron for weight management—formulation details matter. [0:54:57] Closing: Funding for Alternative Health and Supplement Tax Benefits Ed shares policy/legislative updates: Alternative health funding preserved in the federal budget. Initial fear that support would be cut; instead, it was kept in the proposed budget. The Dietary Supplement Access Act proposal: Would classify dietary supplements as a qualified medical expense in the IRS code. Allow individuals to claim up to $500/year (and $250 for married filing separately) for supplements. Could apply to common products like multivitamins, vitamin D, etc. if/when finalized.

Red-faced, tie askew, and ready to sound the alarm at a moment's notice — Disney Pixar's "Anger" from Inside Out is a surprisingly accurate picture of what it feels like when that emotion takes the wheel. In this practical and grace-filled episode, Vivian Bricker uses that familiar character as a jumping-off point for an honest conversation about one of the most common struggles in the Christian life. Anger is not wrong in itself. It is a God-given emotion. But when we act on it without pause, without prayer, and without the Spirit's help, it leads us somewhere we never intended to go. James 1:19-20 offers a deceptively simple prescription: be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires. The Greek word used here, orgēn, carries the weight of wrath and indignation, and James knew exactly how destructive it could become in the life of a believer. Vivian reminds us that the antidote is not suppression but surrender, bringing our anger before God, giving ourselves time and space to let the wave pass, and asking the Holy Spirit to replace inner stirrings of wrath with serenity, kindness, and hope. Nothing is impossible for God, and that includes transforming even our most impulsive, red-faced moments into something that glorifies Him. Bible Verse "My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires." — James 1:19-20, NIV Ponder Today Anger is an emotion, not automatically a sin. It only becomes sin when we act on it without restraint (Ephesians 4:26). The goal is not to never feel angry but to pause, pray, and respond in a way that reflects Christ rather than our impulses. Being slow to speak is a spiritual discipline. James calls us to stop, slow down, and think before we respond. Talking with God before we reply to an anger-provoking situation is one of the most practical acts of faith we can practice. Give yourself time and space when anger rises. A walk around the block, a call to a trusted friend, a few songs, a moment of prayer. Creating distance between the provocation and your response is not avoidance; it is wisdom. Human anger cannot produce God's righteousness. No matter how justified our anger feels, acting from a place of unmanaged wrath will not bring about the righteous outcomes we desire. We must invite God into the situation before we respond. Ask God to weed anger out by His work in you. This is not a battle you fight alone or win by sheer willpower. As you study Scripture and invite the Holy Spirit to do His work, He will equip your heart to release anger and receive peace in its place. A Prayer for You Today Dear God, anger tries to control me at times, but I am choosing to give control over to You. Help me to be slow to speak and slow to become angry. When anger rises like a tidal wave, help me ride it out and allow it to pass. In every situation that provokes anger in my heart, give me space to think and remind me through Your Spirit to turn to You first. Remove any inner stirrings of wrath and replace them with serenity, kindness, contentment, and hope. Thank You for molding me to be more like Your Son. All glory belongs to You. Amen.

What happens when a company focused on drug discovery and life sciences encounters a data problem that nobody else seems able to solve? Recorded at the IT Press Tour in Boston, this episode explores the fascinating story behind Paradigm4 and how a challenge in large-scale biomedical research ultimately led to the creation of flexFS, a cloud-native filesystem designed to tackle some of today's biggest data infrastructure challenges. Joining me on the podcast is David Freund from Paradigm4, who shares how the company was originally founded to help scientists work with enormous datasets in fields such as genomics, bioinformatics, and precision medicine. As researchers began working with population-scale datasets such as the UK Biobank, the team discovered that existing storage technologies either couldn't deliver the performance they needed, lacked the functionality required, or became prohibitively expensive at scale. Our conversation explores the moment Paradigm4 realized it would need to build its own solution, why traditional approaches to cloud storage often struggle under modern analytics workloads, and how flexFS emerged from a real-world customer problem rather than a technology trend. David also explains why object storage has become such an attractive foundation for modern infrastructure, while discussing the challenges of latency, performance, and cost that still need to be addressed. We also discuss why many organizations investing heavily in AI infrastructure may be overlooking one of the biggest constraints on performance. While much of the industry conversation focuses on GPUs and compute power, David argues that data access, movement, and management are becoming equally important considerations as AI workloads continue to grow. Along the way, we touch on cloud independence, resilience, large-scale analytics, and why flexibility across cloud providers is becoming an increasingly important requirement for enterprise technology leaders. Whether you're working in AI, life sciences, cloud infrastructure, or enterprise data management, this episode offers an interesting perspective on how customer problems can sometimes lead to entirely new categories of technology. Could the next major AI bottleneck be data rather than compute? And are organizations paying enough attention to the infrastructure feeding their most important workloads? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Hey friends, Chase here Eric Zimmer is on the show today, and this conversation is exactly the kind of reminder we all need when we are trying to change something real. You probably know Eric from The One You Feed, his award-winning podcast about wisdom, behavior change, mental health, spirituality, and what it means to live well. But Eric's new book, How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life, goes somewhere even more fundamental. It asks a question that feels especially urgent for creators, entrepreneurs, leaders, parents, and anyone trying to build a meaningful life in a world that constantly tells us to optimize everything: What if lasting change is not about becoming more disciplined, but about learning how to stop fighting yourself? That question matters because most of us have made change too heavy. We wrap it in shame, pressure, perfectionism, identity, ambition, self-criticism, and the fantasy of the big breakthrough. We get stuck waiting for the epiphany, the watershed moment, the dramatic turn where everything finally becomes clear. Eric's message is simpler, deeper, and more freeing: "There are moments that stand out because we pull them out and we pluck them out and we make them important, but they don't make sense without the moments before and after. There's all these little, deeply uninteresting moments where I made a small choice to move towards my recovery and away from my addiction again and again. And that's the way change really works." That idea is the center of this episode. We talk about Eric's journey from homelessness and heroin addiction to recovery, coaching, teaching, and writing; why your mind has a mind of its own; how to work with competing desires instead of pretending they are not there; and why small choices compound into a completely different life. This conversation is about loosening the grip. It is about getting back to the part of you that knows what matters, even when another part of you wants comfort, distraction, escape, or relief right now. Why This Conversation Matters Right Now We are living in a strange moment for anyone who wants to grow. On one hand, there has never been more access to tools, ideas, books, podcasts, teachers, frameworks, research, and practices that can help us change. That is extraordinary. But it also comes with a cost. The pressure to optimize every corner of our lives has never been stronger. Every scroll seems to bring another routine, another system, another habit, another rule, another version of the person we are supposed to become. We are constantly being asked to improve ourselves: What is your morning routine? What habit are you tracking? What are you optimizing? What are you building? What are you eliminating? What is the plan? Those questions can be useful at the right time. But when they show up too early, or too often, they can turn growth into another way of beating ourselves up. Eric's work reminds us that change begins with honesty. Before the perfect habit. Before the flawless system. Before the heroic reinvention. Before the new identity. Before the transformation story, there is a person being pulled in different directions. Wanting to change. Wanting to stay comfortable. Wanting what matters most. Wanting what feels good right now. Wanting freedom. Wanting safety. Wanting growth. Wanting acceptance. That does not mean something is wrong with you. It means you are human. And in that understanding, there is a kind of wisdom most self-improvement advice forgets. What We Explore in This Episode Eric's low point at 24 and how homelessness, heroin addiction, illness, and the threat of prison became the beginning of his recovery journey. Why the big turning point is not the whole story and why change actually happens in the small choices that come after. How to understand the "off-camera moments" of transformation that never make the montage but make all the difference. Why your mind has a mind of its own and what it means to be a motivationally complex person. How to work with what you want now and what you want most without shaming yourself for having competing desires. Why "playing the tape all the way through" can help you see past the first scene your mind wants to show you. How structure and story both shape change, and why systems alone are not always enough. How to hold change and acceptance at the same time when life refuses to fit into simple categories. Why trying smaller can create momentum when trying harder is not working. The Core Idea: Little by Little, a Little Becomes a Lot The fastest way to get unstuck is often to stop waiting for the big transformation and start paying attention to the next small choice. We get obsessed with the dramatic moment. The rock bottom. The epiphany. The vow. The clean break. The day everything changed. We want the music to swell. We want the story to make sense. Eric's story has one of those moments. At 24, he was homeless, addicted to heroin, physically depleted, and facing the possibility of decades in prison. Going into long-term treatment mattered. But Eric is careful not to confuse the turning point with the transformation. The transformation was not one decision. It was thousands. The decision to move toward recovery again. The decision to not use again. The decision to show up again. The decision to do the next small thing again. The decision to choose what mattered most over what felt urgent right now. The on-camera moment gets the attention. The off-camera moments create the life. Eric's point is not that ambition does not matter. It is not that insight does not matter. It is not that we should abandon goals, systems, or discipline. It is that the living center of change is choice. The small one comes first. Your Mind Has a Mind of Its Own One of the big tensions in this conversation is the voice many of us carry around that says, "If I really wanted to change, this would be easier." That voice says: You should have more discipline. You should be more consistent. You should know better by now. You should not still struggle with this. You should be able to just decide. Eric's response is that we are not simple creatures. We are motivationally complex. We do not want one thing. We want lots of things. We want what we value most, and we want what feels good right now. We want to grow, and we want to be comfortable. We want to change, and we want to be accepted exactly as we are. That is why the phrase "your mind has a mind of its own" is so useful. It gives language to something we all experience. You decide you are going to do one thing, and then you watch yourself do another. You know what would help, and still you avoid it. You care deeply about the future, and still the present moment feels more real. The work is not to shame that complexity out of yourself. The work is to understand it. Play the Tape All the Way Through One of my favorite parts of this conversation is Eric's explanation of a recovery practice called "playing the tape all the way through." When we want something in the moment, our mind often shows us only the first scene. The first scene is relief. The first scene is escape. The first scene is pleasure, comfort, avoidance, or release. In Eric's addiction, that first scene was all the reasons getting high would feel amazing. But recovery taught him not to stop there. He had to keep the tape running. Then what? The shame comes back. The fear comes back. The despair comes back. The consequences come back. The craving comes back, often stronger than before. This is such a powerful tool because it makes the future less abstract. Before you avoid the work, play the tape through. Before you send the angry email, play the tape through. Before you break the promise to yourself, play the tape through. Not to punish yourself. To see clearly. Structure Matters, But It Is Not the Whole Story Eric makes an important distinction in this episode between the external architecture of change and the internal moments of choice. A lot of personal growth advice focuses on structure. Set the goal. Build the system. Make the habit obvious. Make the habit easy. Design the environment. Remove friction. Put the right reminders in place. That matters. But structure is not the whole story. Because even when you know exactly what to do, and even when you have made it as easy as possible, the moment still comes. You and the choice. Do you write? Do you walk? Do you call? Do you tell the truth? Do you choose what you want most over what you want now? When we do not make the choice we wanted to make, Eric says there is usually something happening inside us. A feeling. A thought pattern. A story. A fear. A form of self-doubt we have not learned how to work with yet. That is why real change needs both. The structure and the story. Try It Smaller Eric says something in this episode that every ambitious person should sit with: Try it smaller. That does not mean the goal does not matter. It means the path has to be walkable. When a change plan is not working, many of us assume we need more discipline. More pressure. More intensity. More accountability. But often, the better move is to make the action smaller. If you cannot write for two hours, write for ten minutes. If you cannot meditate for 30 minutes, sit for three breaths. If you cannot change your whole health routine, put on your shoes and walk around the block. If you cannot face the entire project, open the document. Small does not mean meaningless. Small means repeatable. And repeatable is where momentum comes from. Change and Acceptance Are Not Opposites Another major theme in this episode is the tension between growth and acceptance. One of the best parts of us wants to change. We want to grow, improve, heal, create, recover, repair, and build better lives. And yet, so many wisdom traditions point us toward acceptance. Presence. Contentment. Allowing things to be as they are. So which is it? Do we change, or do we accept? Eric's answer is that very often we have to do both about the exact same thing. He talks about depression in his own life. Is that something he has changed, or something he has accepted? Both. There are things he does that make depression less likely. There are practices, supports, behaviors, and choices that help. And sometimes the cycle comes around anyway, and the most skillful thing he can do is say, "Oh, this is what's here." That is not resignation. That is honesty. Wise Habits Create Momentum With Compassion The title of Eric's book is not just a catchy phrase. It is a worldview. A little becomes a lot. Not because one tiny action changes everything overnight, but because small choices compound. They build identity. They build trust. They build momentum. They begin to align our daily actions with our deeper values. Eric calls these Wise Habits. They are not just outer behaviors designed to make us more efficient. They also include inner attitudes that bring more peace, clarity, and self-compassion to everyday life. That matters because self-criticism is often mistaken for seriousness. We think if we are hard enough on ourselves, we will finally change. But harshness usually creates more resistance. More shame. More hiding. More all-or-nothing thinking. A Wise Habit does something different. It helps us move forward without declaring war on ourselves. Ask What Problem You Are Solving Near the end of the conversation, Eric offers a simple question that I love: What problem are you solving? That question is a filter. Because we are surrounded by advice. Every day, someone is telling us to start a new routine, stop eating at a certain time, wake up earlier, track something, optimize something, remove something, add something, become something. Some of those ideas might be useful. But not every good idea is your idea. Not every habit belongs in your life. Before you collect another self-improvement assignment, ask what problem you are actually trying to solve. That question brings you back to values. It brings you back to clarity. It brings you back to the life you are actually living. About Eric Zimmer Eric Zimmer is an author, teacher, speaker, behavior coach, and the creator of The One You Feed, an award-winning podcast about wisdom, behavior change, mental health, spirituality, and what it means to live well. At 24, Eric was homeless, addicted to heroin, and facing the possibility of decades in prison. His recovery sparked a lifelong exploration of human transformation, resilience, meaning, and the small daily choices that shape a life. His new book, How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life, brings together behavioral science, Zen Buddhism, modern psychology, and timeless wisdom to show how lasting transformation happens through small, repeatable choices.

Where am I waiting for a dramatic breakthrough instead of making the next small choice? What am I trying to force that I might need to understand first? What do I want now, and what do I want most? What first scene is my mind showing me, and what happens if I play the tape all the way through? What would it look like to try smaller instead of trying harder? Where is self-criticism pretending to be discipline? What part of my life needs more structure? What part of my life needs more compassion? What am I trying to change that I may also need to accept? A Simple Practice for Making Real Change Here's something practical you can do this week. Choose one change you care about. Not ten. Not your whole life. One. Ask yourself: What problem am I solving? Then make the next action smaller than your ambition wants it to be. Open the document. Walk for five minutes. Sit for three breaths. Send the text. Put the shoes by the door. Write one paragraph. Make the call. Tell the truth in one sentence. Do not evaluate it too early. Do not turn it into a full identity. Do not decide that it only counts if it is dramatic. Do not use one missed day as proof that you cannot change. Just make the next small choice. Then notice what happens. Notice what gets in the way. Notice what story shows up. Notice whether something in you begins to trust that change does not have to arrive all at once. That is enough. Final Thought The longer I do this work, the more I believe that transformation is not something we can force. It is something we practice. It happens after the decision. After the insight. After the moment we wish would change everything. It happens in the quiet, ordinary, off-camera choices that do not look like much at first. Eric's invitation in this conversation is simple, generous, and quietly radical: Stop making change so dramatic that you cannot touch it. Get clear on what matters. Understand the parts of you that are pulling in different directions. Build the structure. Work with the story. Play the tape all the way through. Try it smaller. Return when you stumble. Little by little, a little becomes a lot. Until next time: make the next small choice, and keep feeding what matters most.

In today's episode, we work through five questions from leaders in the Skip community who are doing well by any measure: a director whose career keeps ending in short stints despite strong performance, a manager whose top performer turned adversarial, an exec fielding multiple outsized offers, a PM who does her best work with a great manager, and a first-time manager whose first report is more experienced than they are. In each case, the old playbook can't answer the real question.Key topics:• The "layoff merry-go-round": why short stints compound and what it actually takes to break the cycle• Why the decision to found should only stay on the table if you're obsessed with a specific problem — not just bullish on AI• How a sponsor-to-manager dynamic turns adversarial• "Every superpower comes with a shadow", and what that means for the manager who created the monster• Why some management relationships reach a graduation, and how to recognize when you're there• The mercenary vs. missionary question: and why the person asking usually already knows their answer• Why senior product leaders should remove "great manager" from their job search criteria entirely• The pretzel framework: how to identify the culture where you have to “bend yourself” the least• Why being "safe" as a manager matters more than matching your direct report's experience levelReferenced:• Anthropic• ChatGPT• Claude• Copilot• Facebook• Google• MetaDon't forget to subscribe to The Skip to hear me coach you through timely career lessons.

A doctor said he needed knee surgery. He said no. Robert Norris is 22 years old, has Down syndrome, and completes Ironman triathlons without a guide. He taught himself to ride a bike, swam with Navy SEALs in the Hudson River, ran the Boston Marathon through bloody blisters, and trains daily with a volume most able-bodied athletes never touch: 80-mile bike rides, 10-mile runs, 2100-yard swims. Joe De Sena sits down with Robert and his mother, Wanda, a retired Navy veteran, to unpack how a slipped kneecap became a turning point, why Robert refuses to quit under any condition, and what happens when a young man with an extra chromosome decides the hard way is the only way. This episode delivers a direct challenge: if Robert Norris can show up every single day without excuses, what is stopping you? Things You Will Learn: Why a physical setback can become the trigger for a higher standard instead of a retreat. The structure behind a non-negotiable daily routine that eliminates the need for motivation. What consistent action proves to the people who expect you to stop. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Setback-to-Standard Conversion: Use injury or adversity as the catalyst for a higher training commitment, not a reason to stop. Non-Negotiable Daily Structure: Wake time, bedtime, training order, and nutrition are locked in. Remove decision fatigue. Execute the plan. Progressive Proof of Capability: Start with one mile. Then eighteen. Then a hundred. Let results silence doubt. If this episode moved you, do not just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses. Robert Norris is a Guinness World Record–holding endurance athlete who redefined limits by becoming the first athlete with Down syndrome to complete a full Ironman triathlon independently, setting the fastest time in his category. His journey represents relentless discipline, the breaking of perceived limitations, and the building of an unshakable mindset through years of preparation and adversity.

Serhii Plokhy describes how on October 26-27, Khrushchev sent conflicting messages: a private letter offering a non-invasion pledge and a public demand to remove U.S. Jupiters in Turkey. This caused chaos in the White House, with officials fearing Khrushchev had been ousted by his military. Kennedy believed a missile swap was the only logical solution but could not agree publicly without undermining NATO credibility. Khrushchev's failure to consult Fidel Castro on these terms sowed deep resentment, creating a secondary crisis between the Soviet Union and its Cuban ally. (6)1956
