This episode explores the real stories, leadership decisions, and human flaws behind Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson.From Franklin's entrepreneurial mindset and inventions, to Washington's quiet leadership and willingness to step down from power, to Jefferson's role as philosopher, writer, and dealmaker, this conversation goes far beyond what most of us learned in school. Rich and Greg connect history to modern leadership, business, and civic responsibility, showing why these lessons still matter today.Sponsored by Eco-Cool HVAC, a veteran-owned Harford County business committed to comfort and community.Send us a textVote for us hereEco-Cool HVACYOUR FRIEND IN THE SUMMERS & WINTERS!

In this episode, Marta explores the Five R's of Parenting — relationship, regulation, reflection, repair, and resilience — and how these pillars shape the humans our children become.Rather than striving for perfection, this conversation centers on presence: how connection builds safety, how regulation opens learning, and how repair transforms rupture into trust. Marta shares personal reflections and real-life family moments, illustrating how conscious parenting begins with the work we are willing to do within ourselves.Through grounded psychology, heartfelt storytelling, and simple tools for everyday life, this episode offers a compassionate roadmap for raising children who feel worthy, seen, and secure.It's an invitation to slow down, get curious, communicate honestly, and create a relational home where emotion is met, not managed.This is a gentle but powerful conversation about the kind of parenting that heals — one where connection comes first, growth is shared, and resilience is built through love, not pressure.
Dr. Marcus joins Dr. Thema to discuss the importance of holistic reparations as they explore his thought provoking book in light of the American Psychological Association resolution on Individual, Collective, and Intergenerational Trauma Recovery: Considering the Restorative Roles of Resttition and Reparations. Dr. Marcus Anthony Hunter is a professor of sociology and African American studies at UCLA. He is also the author of "Radical Reparations: Healing the Soul of a Nation," among other titles. In his last book, he talks about the many forms of reparations and things the nation can do to bring healing and repair to descendants of enslaved Africans. He is committed to raising awareness about the many contributions of Black people towards building the United States of America. Mixed & Edited by Next Day Podcast info@nextdaypodcast.com
The Story of the Blob Tree - Ian Long Interview – Rethinking Transference in Person-Centred Therapy In Episode 360 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', they explore rupture and repair in counselling, looking at the inevitable ruptures that can occur in the therapeutic relationship and how recognising and repairing these moments builds resilience and strengthens the therapeutic alliance. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ian Long, illustrator and co-creator of the iconic Blob Tree, about the origins, evolution, and global impact of these powerful visual tools in therapy and education. And finally in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken rethink transference in person-centred therapy, offering insight into how these dynamics show up during training and why they matter - even outside of client work. Rupture and Repair in Counselling [starts at 03:30 mins] Rory and Ken explore rupture and repair in counselling, emphasising that relational ruptures in therapy are not failures but essential opportunities for growth, learning, and repair. Key points discussed include: Ruptures are normal in therapy and can result from misattunement, transference, or triggering of past trauma. Common signs include client withdrawal, silence, defensiveness, or abrupt subject changes. Effective repair relies on naming the shift gently and being curious about the client's inner experience. Understanding your own attachment and trauma patterns is crucial for managing ruptures. Repairing a rupture models emotional resilience and can deepen the therapeutic relationship. Supervision is essential for processing ruptures and supporting ethical, attuned practice. The Story of the Blob Tree – Ian Long Interview [starts at 23:20 mins] Rory speaks with Ian Long, the illustrator and co-creator of the Blob Tree, about how this simple yet profound tool has supported emotional expression worldwide for four decades. Key points from the interview include: The Blob Tree features a group of non-verbal, genderless characters that reflect different emotional states and interactions. Originally created for youth work, the tool has become widely used in counselling, education, and social work. It facilitates expression for those who struggle with words, including children, non-verbal individuals, and trauma survivors. The success of the tool lies not just in the illustrations but in the skill of the practitioner asking open-ended, exploratory questions. The Blob Tree and related tools are now used in over 150 countries and across various disciplines, including business and humanitarian work. Ian reflects on his creative partnership with the late Pip Wilson and the lasting legacy of their work in fostering emotional literacy. Rethinking Transference in Person-Centred Therapy [starts at 44:58 mins] Rory and Ken challenge the notion that transference has no place in person-centred practice, encouraging students to explore how it shows up in training and personal development. Key points include: Carl Rogers acknowledged transference, though he chose to respond to it rather than interpret it. Transference can occur even outside of client work - in group projects, PD groups, and skills practice. Feelings like the urge to rescue, impress, or withdraw may signal countertransference and warrant reflection. Journaling, peer reflection, and personal therapy can support deeper understanding of relational dynamics. Bringing transference into PD groups (not as blame, but as exploration) helps develop emotional awareness. Recognising these patterns early prepares students for ethical, attuned work with future clients.

In this episode of the Tactical Dent Tech Podcast, I break down one of the most overlooked — yet powerful — parts of marketing for dent technicians: the hook. A hook is the first few seconds of a video or the first line of a post that grabs attention and pulls people in. And just like fishing, some hooks work… and some don't. In this episode, I explain how I test hooks, why the first three seconds matter more than ever, and how the right hook can turn content into a predictable lead source. We cover: What a marketing hook really is (and why it's called a hook) Why attention spans keep getting shorter How I test hooks on Instagram and ads Action shots vs tool shots — and when each works Using written hooks in posts and ads Breaking customer resistance with simple CTAs Why "Upload Your Dent" works so well Turning winning hooks into predictable marketing assets If you want more leads without relying on insurance companies or door knocking, this episode will help you think differently about how you present your business online. Test your hooks. Find your winners. Then turn them on like a machine. Welcome to the Tactical Tech Movement.

Light heals at the deepest level. Red light therapy supercharges your cells, slashes inflammation, boosts energy production, and tackles everything from chronic pain to cancer support in ways that feel almost too good to be true. In this episode, my friend Jonathan Otto joins me to unpack the massive science behind photobiomodulation and why it's one of the most powerful tools for real healing. He shares clinical studies showing dramatic pain reduction, faster wound healing, hair regrowth, mood lifts, bone density gains, and even tumor shrinkage. We talk about how red light drives ATP production, fixes cellular respiration, triggers stem cell activation, and helps the body detox heavy metals and toxins naturally. Jonathan explains why this therapy outperforms sunlight in key ways and how simple daily sessions create lasting changes across skin, brain, thyroid, joints, and more. "If you go without oxygen for a few minutes, you're wrecked. And what red light is doing is it's correcting how your cells go through cellular respiration, which is the breathing of cells." ~ Jonathan Otto In This Episode: 03:17 - Jonathan's background 05:55 - What is red light therapy 14:06 - Applications of red light therapy 23:13 - Red light therapy for healing and energy 26:12 - Improving mood with red light therapy 30:11 - Bone density improvements and sarcopenia reversal 36:58 - Red light therapy for pain relief 43:24 - Red light therapy for weight loss 50:07 - How red light therapy supports wound healing 54:24 - Red light therapy for cognitive function 1:00:09 - Jonathan's red light therapy products Products & Resources Mentioned: Puori Creatine+: Get 20% off at https://puori.com/wendy with code WENDY.

We break down how we tripled our HVAC average ticket—from $5,000 to $12,500+—and finally made sales profitable. In this episode, we walk through the painful mistakes, system overhauls, and process changes that turned HVAC from a money-loser into a real growth engine.If you run a home service business, this episode is a masterclass in why “selling harder” doesn't work—but selling better systems, earlier financing, and structured options does. We unpack how repair-first thinking killed profitability, why discount-driven comfort advising nearly sunk us, and how process—not unicorn salespeople—changed everything.In this episode, we cover:The $5K → $12.5K Jump: How our HVAC average ticket actually scaled (and why it failed at first).Repair vs. Replacement: Why “fixing everything” was a disservice to homeowners and the business.Sales Process Evolution: From selling techs → comfort advisors → systemized selling.Software & Systems: How structured options unlocked premium equipment and IAQ sales.Financing Strategy: Why introducing financing early boosted close rates by 13% and added ~$6K per job.
My most recent guests, Alice Driscoll and Louise van Haarst, talked with me about their book, Smart Conflict: How to have hard conversations at work. They introduced their Five R Model: Reflection, Regulation, Readiness, Response, and Repair. The very words “caught off guard” set the tone. You are on defense. It's a difficult conversation. Because you didn't see this coming, you do not have a response prepared for this particular situation. Alice and Louise have some sound advice: be ready with a (my phrasing) “I'm not ready” type of response. Set yourself up to be ready to take a pause and engage your mind and not just your emotions.Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Happy New Year! As many of us think about fresh starts, healing strained relationships might be part of that journey. Today, host Julie Rose revisits a powerful conversation with Justin Jones-Fosu, meaningful work researcher and author of “I Respectfully Disagree: How to Have Difficult Conversations in a Divided World.” Justin shares the deeply personal story of reconciling with his father after years of distance and hurt — not by seeking an apology, but by choosing curiosity over assumptions and conversation over confrontation. His insights remind us that reconciliation doesn't always require agreement. Sometimes it simply asks us to stay on the road with people instead of “taking the exit.” Learn more about Justin Jones-Fosu's work - https://workmeaningful.com/ CHAPTERS (0:00) Introduction (1:46) Justin Jones-Fosu on Avoidance and Curiosity (2:35) A Personal Story of Reconciliation (5:00) The Concept of 'Taking the Exit' (12:47) The Circles of Grace Challenge (16:27) Conclusion
“‘We said pledges about remembering our ancestors… loving Black (at Aisha Shule)” In this episode, Dr. Tierra Bills—Assistant Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering & Public Policy at UCLA—returns home through memory, tracing her family's East Side roots and the African-centered foundation of Aisha Shule, where “as the daughter of one of the Walimu… I had to set the tone.” She honors Mama Easter's “big presence” and the rituals that taught students their history “did not start with slavery,” then shows how that cultural grounding carried her from FAMU to UC Berkeley and into transportation engineering. Bills breaks down “mobility as a system,” asking not just how we travel, but “how easy can I get to my desired destinations?” and what happens when data, scooters, robots, and roadwork reshape daily life. From 696 detours to the I-375/Black Bottom rebuild, she insists engineers must measure real community impacts: “80% of the businesses will be shut down,” “your travel time has ballooned,” and “those who are bearing the worst impacts are those who are also most vulnerable.” It's a Detroit legacy lesson—culture as preparation, and policy as repair—and an invitation to show up at public meetings.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 87-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 28,723 on turnover of 6.4-billion N-T. The market closed higher on Monday as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing saw its share price hit a new record high on the back of reports the company plans to raise prices for its advanced chips. China carrying out live-fire drills around Taiwan China is carrying out live-fire military drills around Taiwan today and has said they will be taking place until 6 o'clock this evening in five designated maritime and airspace zones. The exercises are code-named "Justice Mission 2025." According to coordinates provided by China's Eastern Theater Command, the drills were to be staged (舉辦) in the sea and in the airspaces north of Keelung, east of Taitung, south of Pingtung, southeast of Penghu, and northwest of Taoyuan. The Ministry of National Defense says all five of the drill zones are within Taiwan's territorial waters. According to the ministry, the island's armed forces have established an ad hoc emergency operations center and are respond to developments. Cause of Taichung power outage under investigation Tai-Power says the cause of a power outage that affected over 9,000 households in Taichung's Beitun District is under investigation. The outage began at around 8:55 last night and power was restored (恢復) by 10:30. According to the Tai-Power, the outage not only affected households, but also large numbers of businesses and several fire stations located in the district. Tai-Power says repair teams arrived at the scene and found that the fault was located in the power distribution room. The state generator says personnel carried out repairs, before carrying out two power transfer operations to isolate the fault area. Repair teams also reduced the power outage in order to minimize the number of households affected. Israel PM to Meet Trump in Florida Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is scheduled to meet President Trump in Florida later today for talks that are expected to (預計,預期) focus on the Gaza peace plan, Iran and Lebanon. Blake Sifton reports from Tel Aviv China Condemns Panama Monument Demolition China has condemned the demolition (拆除) of a monument honoring the Chinese community in Panama. Panama's president echoed the condemnation, blaming local authorities and pledging the monument would be rebuilt. Overnight, videos circulated on social media showing large excavators tearing down the monument. The Chinese Embassy in Panama accused the local authorities of having “brazenly (明目張膽) and forcibly demolished” the monument and “seriously damaged the friendly sentiments of the Chinese people towards the Panamanian people.” It's the latest development as the Trump administration in the US pushes for the Central American nation to distance itself from Beijing. Turkey Armenia to Simplify Visa Procedures Turkey and Armenia have agreed to simplify visa procedures to normalize ties, according to Turkey's Foreign Ministry. The Turkish Foreign Ministry said electronic visas will be available for both countries' passport holders starting Jan. 1-st. Relations have been strained by historic grievances (不平,委屈) and Turkey's alliance with Azerbaijan. The countries have no formal diplomatic ties, and their border has been closed since the 1990s.

Angela talks to Dr. Ash Kapoor, a longevity specialist and cellular health expert, who shares his approach to health that focuses on understanding and addressing the root causes of disease and aging, particularly through the lens of the 12 Hallmarks of Aging. Dr. Kapoor talks about the fact that true longevity is not just about extending lifespan, but about maximising independence, purposefulness, and fulfilment, explaining that modern stress depletes the body's primary energy source (ATP), forcing it to steal from the immune, hormonal, and nervous systems KEY TAKEAWAYS: Longevity Redefined: True longevity is defined not merely by living longer, but by being independent, purposeful, and pursuing fulfilment until an achievable age of 123. The Root Cause of Decline: All 126,000 known diseases can be traced back to the 12 Hallmarks of Aging, a breakdown in the body's cellular systems that is often driven by chronic modern stress A Strategy for Optimisation: Dr. Kapoor's approach involves a multi-stage strategy of detoxifying (cleaning the liver and gut), repairing (restoring hormones and nutrients, and re-establishing circadian rhythm), and renewing the body's cellular environment The Power of Inner Energy: The core problem is operating on stress-based energy (like cortisol and immune/hormonal reserves) instead of the primary mitochondrial energy (ATP) TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 0:01:25: Defining Longevity: What true "living" means beyond just existing. 0:03:00: The Science of the 12 Hallmarks of Aging and the control we have over them. 0:08:48: The link between the external world (success) and internal depletion (energy crash). 0:18:25: The fundamental strategy: Detox, Repair, and Renew in the correct order. 0:25:05: Understanding hormone depletion: Why the body "steals" hormones and the concept of "restorative hormone therapy."

My most recent guests, Alice Driscoll and Louise van Haarst, talked with me about their book, Smart Conflict: How to have hard conversations at work. They introduced their Five R Model: Reflection, Regulation, Readiness, Response, and Repair. Thinking about Response. There are times when you know the likely path a difficult conversation will take. You may know the other person well. Or you may have had a variation of this conversation before. Or both. A prepared response can prevent us from feeling tongue-tied and then resorting to silence, or unhelpful body language, or blurting out something that will make matters worse. And the very act of preparation is helpful, too. Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest? An idea or question about conflict management or conflict resolution?

Brittnie shares an honest look at raising her two-year-old daughter, Ava, and how her journey has evolved since her last appearance on the podcast. She opens up about the emotional shift from confidently breastfeeding her first two children to learning entirely new ways to feed a cleft-affected baby, and the steep learning curve that came with it. Brittnie also shares how she's turned her experience into advocacy by educating nurses through "lunch and learn" sessions, helping medical teams better support cleft families from day one.

She emphasizes that meaningful repair can prevent damage to the parent-child relationship and enhance children's self-esteem.

A twelve-year-old car can be a trusty friend or a looming money pit—and most of us don't know which until a big repair lands in our lap. We sat down with RepairSurge CEO Jon Vorisek to unpack a clear, data-driven way to decide whether to fix an aging vehicle or sell it with confidence. Drawing on usage patterns across manuals for 10,000+ models, John breaks down which repairs usually pay for themselves and where to draw the line using a simple 50-75-100 percent framework tied to your car's value.We walk through real-world scenarios—the “cheap” cabin filter buried behind a dash, DIY oil changes that aren't worth the disposal hassle, and the stealth costs of design choices that turn a $20 part into a two-hour job. You'll learn how the buyer's “uncertainty tax” works when selling a car with issues, why repairing before selling can net more money, and how to compare total cost of ownership per mile if you're eyeing a used replacement. John also shares the evolution of RepairSurge from a CD-ROM to a cloud platform with step-by-step procedures, wiring diagrams, torque specs, and live parts pricing you can pull up on any device.We round things out with quick hits from the automotive world: Formula 1's 2026 pivot to lighter, smaller cars aimed at better racing, NHRA team moves, NASCAR charter dynamics, and a tour through auto history from Lincoln's aircraft roots to the Superbird's NASCAR quirks. Plus, we touch on today's market headwinds—from tariffs to a cooling EV demand curve—and why those forces shape what we buy, fix, and sell.If you've got a high-mile car and a tough decision, this conversation gives you the math, the context, and the confidence to choose well.

It's mid-December, everyone's running on fumes, and your child just screamed "I hate you." And even though you know it's the exhaustion talking, it still stings because you're killing yourself to make the holidays special, and this is what you get in return. The truth is, the holidays amplify everything: the excitement, the overstimulation, the meltdowns, and yes, the hurtful words our kids don't fully understand yet. But here's what I've learned after years of navigating big emotions with my own strong-willed kids: how we respond in these moments matters more than we think, and there are ways to handle it that actually strengthen our relationship with them instead of damaging it. This is an encore episode from March 2023, and I'm bringing it back because this message feels especially timely right now. I'm sharing audio from an Instagram Live I recorded about an experience with my son six years ago, and then I'll walk you through three things I've learned about what to do when your child says they hate you or uses other big, hurtful words that land like a punch. In this episode, you'll discover:

What if worry stopped being a wall and became an action signal? Today we take on the everyday fears that stall big goals and break them down using a simple, repeatable framework that turns anxiety into momentum. Drawing from coaching work and the fear-setting method popularized by Tim Ferriss, we show how to move from vague dread to concrete action without pretending fear disappears. You'll leave with a t3-step tool you can use today: define the fear, prevent what you can, repair when needed. Apply it to outreach anxiety, high-stakes presentations, career shifts, or relocations. When the worry voice shows up, you'll have a script to answer it and a system to keep moving. If this helped, share it with someone who's stuck on the edge of a decision, and subscribe to get more practical frameworks for growth. Your next brave step is one question away: what's the worst that can happen?

What if the key to a stronger marriage isn't another technique—but a deeper understanding of your story?Dan and Becky Allender of the Allender Center join Lead Pastor Kris McDaniel and Care Pastor Jason Faulkner to discuss how understanding our personal and shared stories can transform the way we love, repair, and grow together in marriage.

In this final episode of 2025, I'm sharing something deeply personal - my relationship with anger, where it came from, and how I've worked to change it. This is one of the most vulnerable solo episodes I've ever recorded, because anger is a feeling so many of us carry quietly, especially in parenthood. This episode is for the parent who feels ashamed after snapping. For the one who feels tense all the time. For the one who is scared they might repeat what they grew up with. Your anger does not make you a bad parent. It makes you human. And change is possible. I discuss: ✔️ How anger showed up in my early life and why it became my default response ✔️ The moment with our puppy that forced me to see my patterns clearly ✔️ How stress, trauma, and burnout can pull old reactions back to the surface ✔️ What I learned through coaching, therapy, and eventually EMDR ✔️ How this work changed my nervous system, my parenting, and my day-to-day mindset ✔️ The brain science behind anger and why your body reacts before your thoughts do ✔️ What often sits underneath explosive reactions ✔️ How your window of tolerance affects everything ✔️ The real tools I use when I feel overwhelmed ✔️ How I teach my kids that feelings are allowed, but hurtful behavior is not 00:00 Scary parents are scared parents01:10 Why anger shows up in parenting02:49 When anger becomes a problem, not a protector03:09 The moment I knew I had to change05:44 Trauma, motherhood, and why anger came back06:59 How therapy helped me find peace08:48 Fear, the nervous system, and the science of anger10:59 Breaking the cycle while raising kids12:14 Tools to handle anger in the moment14:13 Teaching kids that feelings are ok, harmful behavior is not17:03 Repair, progress, and modeling growth19:48 When to seek support and why it matters21:41 You are not broken, change is possible Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

Zach sits down with Justin and Kylie Coulson, parents of six daughters and co-creators of the Happy Families movement. What unfolds is a deeply honest conversation about failure, repair, intention, and the long road toward building a family culture that actually feels good to live in. Justin shares a pivotal early-parenting moment that became the turning point of his life: a loss of control with one of their young children that forced him to confront who he was becoming as a father and husband. Kylie describes the clarity she felt in that moment—her love for Justin alongside her unwavering commitment to her children's safety—and how that line in the sand changed everything. From there, the conversation traces Justin's radical career pivot from radio to psychology, the years of study and sacrifice that followed, and the birth of the Happy Families philosophy. Together, Justin and Kylie unpack what “happy” actually means—not the absence of hardship, but the presence of connection, safety, and shared joy, especially around the family table. They share the simple but powerful structures they use to stay aligned: weekly check-ins, quarterly retreats, and a three-question framework that replaces blame with collaboration. Through stories of totalled cars, hard choices, and repaired moments, Justin and Kylie show how families are built—not through perfection, but through practised responses, accountability, and love that stays bigger than the mess. Key Takeaways We always get to choose our response – Circumstances don't dictate behavior; intention does. People matter, things don't – Safety, connection, and relationship always come before stuff. Happy families are built, not inherited – Skills like communication, repair, and emotional regulation are learnable. Hardship doesn't cancel happiness – Joy is found in meaning, not ease. Repair builds trust – Conflict isn't the enemy; unresolved conflict is. Structure creates safety – Regular check-ins and retreats help families stay aligned. Blame kills collaboration – Asking “How can we support each other?” changes everything. The table is the vision – A family that wants to be together is the real measure of success.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Justin Sonnenburg, PhD, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford University. We discuss how microbes in our gut impact our mental and physical health and how diet and the environment affect the gut microbiome. We explain how lifestyle factors such as antibiotics and Western-style diets (high fat, low fiber and rich in processed foods) can damage gut diversity and whether prebiotics or probiotics are useful tools. Throughout the episode, we highlight evidence-based dietary and lifestyle strategies for improving gut health.
