For years, James felt trapped in the same cycle.He'd lose 20 pounds. Gain it back.Start another diet. Repeat.James spent years searching for the "right" diet. He tried . . .Atkins.South Beach.Calorie tracking.Intermittent fasting.Each one helped him lose weight.Each one eventually became too restrictive to maintain.And every time he regained the weight, he blamed himself.He began believing he lacked discipline… or that something was simply wrong with him. Then he discovered a completely different way to approach weight loss.Instead of chasing another diet, James learned how to build consistency, reduce the emotional power of the scale, and create habits that actually fit his life.In this conversation, James shares the mindset shifts that helped him stop starting over and finally experience both lasting weight loss and peace of mind.IN THIS EPISODEJames' history with Atkins, South Beach, calorie tracking, and intermittent fastingWhy every diet worked—but never lastedThe emotional impact of repeatedly regaining weightHow the scale became tied to his self-worthThe danger of believing you're "different"Why consistency matters more than perfectionEscaping the all-or-nothing mindsetBuilding a sustainable lifestyle instead of chasing another dietFinding peace with food, the scale, and yourselfJoin Corey's Email Newsletter: https://LoseFatList.comANTI-DIET CLASS: https://AntiDietClass.com

Reprogram your thoughts with these "I AM" daily affirmations centered on trust, gratitude, and unshakeable faith that life is working in your favor. Repeat these positive affirmations daily to interrupt the old habit of assuming the worst before a moment even has the chance to unfold. Each time you repeat the session, you'll feel calmer, more grounded, and more willing to let life surprise you with good. Most people jump straight to worst-case thinking the instant something goes wrong...and most never actually chose that reflex. It was built over years of disappointment, reinforced every time something inconvenient got written off as a disaster before it had the chance to play out. But there is a better alternative. A few minutes spent here, and you're shifting into trust and gratitude instead of panic and judgment...a subtle shift that, practiced consistently, changes how you experience every setback for the rest of your life. This episode offers: - Affirmations that build unshakeable trust in the timing of your life - A positive mindset practice for recognizing setbacks as setups for something better - Gratitude affirmations that make peace with both the ups and the downs - Affirmations that train you to look for the good in every situation, instead of jumping to conclusions - Closing affirmations on peace, prosperity, law of attraction, and attracting good things naturally Make this part of your daily routine...listen first thing in the morning, in a stressful moment, on your commute, or right before bed. Be sure to listen all the way through to experience the full benefits. The more consistently you return to it, the more naturally trust and gratitude start to feel like your default response to life, instead of something you have to talk yourself into. #affirmations #dailyaffirmations #positiveaffirmations Check out the Wake Me Up Mindset Coach app: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://studio.com/wakemeup⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Emotional intimacy is absolutely critical for strong marriages.And yet, I am speaking to more and more young people who are becoming emotionally intimate with their dating partners, only to feel as though they have endured an "emotional divorce" if the relationship does not work out.Even more, I am seeing more and more married couples experiencing the trauma of infidelity, and again, learning that the spouse who cheated first became emotionally intimate with another person.The fact is, we must be extremely careful who we share our deepest needs, desires, and experiences with, so as to protect against the deep pain that results from being emotionally attached to the wrong people.Join me for a special episode of Rinse and Repeat, as we open our Bibles to Proverbs 4 (among other passages) and learn how we can develop appropriate emotional boundaries in our relationships.(RAR2026EP32)

“You just have to believe that at some point it's going to translate into the actual result you want. These close calls aren't only going to be my defining story.”My guest for today's episode is Vince Ciattei — U.S. 5000m champion. At 31 years old, roughly 24 hours after losing the 1500m final by five hundredths of a second, Vince went back out at Icahn Stadium and won the 5K national title in 13:46.75 — an event he had raced once in the previous five years. It was the first national title of his career, and it came after a run of fourths, thirds, and seconds that have stretched across nearly a decade as a professional.Vince trains with Under Armour Dark Sky Distance in Flagstaff under Stephen Haas. He went to Virginia Tech, where he only became good enough to go pro in his fifth year. He came back from an injury straight away as a pro. He finished fourth at the 2024 Olympic Trials by a quarter of a second and has been on the edge of breaking through internationally for years, and this year it finally started to crack open — a 3:30 personal best in Rabat behind Yared Nuguse, Isaac Nader, and Azeddine Habz, a Diamond League schedule that treated him as a competitor rather than a time-trialer, a 13:13 at Payton Jordan in May, and then a weekend in New York where he went from reading a LetsRun writeup at 4 a.m. declaring he had missed his best shot to standing on top of the podium less than twelve hours later.In this conversation we get into all of it: The sports psychologist who helped him reframe a decade of near-misses as a trajectory rather than a verdict; The 24-hour turnaround between the two finals and what it took to flip the switch — including the middle-of-the-night LetsRun read, the drug testing chat with his mom afterward, and the moment when Kasey Knevelbaard came by with 250 to go and the race turned into a Dark Sky one-two.We also get into what Rabat and Ostrava showed him about where he actually stands internationally, the Diamond League final, the World Ultimate Championships, and the target that's been quietly driving his entire season: the World Road Running Championships mile in September, where he'll wear the Team USA uniform for the first time.____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSCORE: The CORE 2 Thermal Sensor takes the guessing out of heat training.

“You can't recreate the feeling that Josh created for me as a coach in any synthetic way. It had to have been done the way that he did it.”My guest for today's episode is Danny Mackey, the head coach of the Brooks Beasts Track Club.Almost two weeks before we recorded this, Josh Kerr ran 3:42.66 at the London Diamond League and took 47 hundredths of a second off Hicham El Guerrouj's mile world record — a mark that had been on the books for 27 years. Danny is the guy who wrote the training for it. He's been coaching Josh for eight years now and this year he's also got Brandon Miller running 1:42.19 to win in London seventy minutes before Josh's race. It was an epic day for the Brooks Beasts.This one is a coach's-eye reconstruction of how a world record actually gets built. We go back to the workouts in Albuquerque in 2024 when Danny first told Josh he thought the record was there. We get into the PowerPoint pitch to Brooks. Danny walks through how he writes training. We talk about the ninety-minute whiteboard meeting where a few grown men argued over tenths of a second for pacing and what Danny was thinking standing trackside with 350 meters to go. And finally, how this has transcended beyond the running community.The best part comes toward the end when he reveals who this was all for. We last had him on in 2023 after the World Championships after Josh won gold, so it was only fitting that we got him back on after another momentous occasion.____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSCORE: The CORE 2 Thermal Sensor takes the guessing out of heat training.

Being able to call someone's name lets them know you see them, you hear them, you care about them, and they're important to you.Post-Hurricane Helene recovery in Western North Carolina needs capital that treats local entrepreneurs as builders, not charity cases. Jeffrey Kaplan, CEO of Optimist Ventures and Director of Venture Asheville, is helping make that possible with a new fund designed for Asheville's real economy.During this episode, Jeffrey explained how Venture Asheville grew out of the region's economic development work. The team had already planned to launch an accelerator and fund before Hurricane Helene. Then the storm hit. Assumptions changed. Fundraising changed. The community changed.Rather than step back, Jeffrey and his team pivoted. Optimist Ventures raised its first fund, invested in seven companies last year and is preparing to invest in 13 more.That matters because, as Jeffrey said, “net new job growth creation is coming out of small businesses.” He sees local entrepreneurship not as a side project but as core economic development. In a place better known for hospitality, food and beverage, health and wellness than high-growth startups, that shift is powerful.The fund pairs philanthropy with investment capital. Each participating company receives $50,000. Half is a grant. Half is structured through a Shared Profit Agreement note, or SPA Note, a new instrument Optimist Ventures created to avoid the limits of traditional grants, debt and equity.Jeffrey described the thesis this way: “Could we create a localized fund that wasn't a debt fund, that wasn't onerous equity, that would also have a built-in liquidity system to get returns to investors without strangling our founders, without forcing exits or acquisitions or IPOs?”The answer became a purpose-fit profit-sharing model. Companies repay from net profit over six years. The structure encourages founders to reinvest, take care of employees and grow sustainably instead of chasing a quick exit.Jeffrey made the impact plain: “Every dollar stays here in Asheville. Every dollar helps recovery. Every dollar is creating a job.”I love this model because it brings dignity and accountability together. Founders get capital and support. Philanthropists get meaningful local impact. Investors get a potential return tied to rebuilding a resilient economy.Optimist Ventures is also welcoming community investors through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign at ventureasheville.com. That makes this work even more exciting to me. It gives people who care about Asheville a chance to participate in the recovery not just as donors but as investors in the future of the community.tl;dr:Today's episode shows how Optimist Ventures blends grants and investment for Hurricane Helene recovery.Jeffrey explains the SPA Note, a profit-share model designed for resilient Main Street businesses.Today's episode highlights Asheville's choice to rebuild toward what can be, not just what was.Local investors can support recovery through regulated investment crowdfunding and learn more at ventureasheville.com.Jeffrey's superpower, remembering names, reminds us that dignity begins with seeing people.How to Develop Remembering Names As a SuperpowerJeffrey's superpower is remembering names. He told me names matter because they “make such an impression when you're trying to build a network and build community.” For Jeffrey, this is not a party trick. It is a practice of respect. He said, “Being able to call someone's name lets them know you see them, you hear them, you care about them, and they're important to you.” In his work, where social capital helps move philanthropy, investment and entrepreneurship together, remembering names becomes a tool for trust.Jeffrey especially practices this superpower with children. When he meets a friend's child or sees a kid at an event he is emceeing, he learns the child's name immediately, calls them out and invites them to help. He does this because kids need special attention and affirmation. He believes being seen by an adult can shape a child's self-esteem and sense of possibility. That simple act of remembering a name becomes a way to say, you matter here.Say the person's name back immediately after you hear it.Ask how to spell the name so you spend a few extra seconds with it.Visualize the letters of the person's name over their head.Repeat the name early in the conversation to build memory.Connect on LinkedIn or another appropriate platform soon after meeting.Make the name conversation playful by asking about nicknames, spelling or origins.Practice with everyone, including parents at school, kids at events and casual acquaintances.By following Jeffrey's example and advice, you can make remembering names a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileJeffrey Kaplan (he/him):CEO, Optimist VenturesAbout Optimist Ventures: Optimist Ventures is a post-Hurricane Helene economic recovery fund based in Western North Carolina. It pairs $50,000 in capital with a 14-week accelerator for capital-efficient, community-rooted growth, targeting companies with $150,000 to $2 million in revenue. The fund blends grant and investment capital through a new instrument it created called the SPA Note, a hybrid grant-plus-investment structure designed to fund founders in disaster-affected communities without the usual friction between philanthropic and investment capital.Website: optimistventures.coCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/VentureAVLOther URL: ventureasheville.comBiographical Information: Jeffrey Kaplan is CEO of Optimist Ventures and Director of Venture Asheville.

For decades, startup success followed a familiar path: build a prototype, raise venture capital, hire a team, develop a product, and hope to reach market before the money runs out. Artificial intelligence is rewriting that playbook. An effective AI capital strategy now requires founders to think beyond fundraising and focus on building systems that create value long before investors write a check. In Part 2 of our conversation with Danny Carpio, we explored how AI is reshaping venture capital, startup economics, and software development. The discussion wasn't about replacing investors — it focused on a much larger shift: AI is lowering the cost of building products while raising the importance of strategic execution. As development gets cheaper, founders have to prove they can build sustainable businesses, not just impressive technology. About Danny Carpio Danny Carpio is an organizational architect, systems builder, and the author of The Unfirm: The New Unit of Scale Is You. Over the past 13+ years, he has designed operating models, governance structures, and investment architectures for venture-backed startups, decentralized organizations, and multi-entity networks. His work has helped organizations raise and manage eight-figure capital pools, incubate new businesses, and build scalable systems where no established blueprint existed. A licensed attorney, Danny also brings legal and governance expertise to selected clients, integrating operational strategy with practical business execution. Learn more about Danny and his work on his LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danny-carpio-9703a043/. AI Capital Strategy Changes the Role of Venture Capital Traditionally, venture capital solved one primary problem: it gave startups enough money to build products that would otherwise be too expensive to create. That equation is changing. Modern AI tools let small teams prototype applications, create marketing assets, automate operations, and validate ideas at a fraction of the historical cost. That means founders can test assumptions before they ever seek outside funding. Danny described this shift as moving structural barriers farther downstream. Instead of requiring significant investment just to get started, entrepreneurs can now build meaningful proof before approaching investors. That doesn't eliminate venture capital — it changes its purpose. Rather than financing basic product development, investors increasingly accelerate companies that have already shown traction, market understanding, and operational discipline. Capital is becoming an accelerator instead of the starting line. AI Capital Strategy Rewards Builders Who Reduce Risk Investors have always looked for promising ideas. Today, they're also looking for founders who understand uncertainty. Throughout the discussion, Danny emphasized that markets are changing so fast that no one has a complete blueprint. Because of that, founders need to demonstrate adaptability rather than certainty. Successful entrepreneurs are no longer expected to predict the future perfectly — they're expected to: Test assumptions quickly Learn from customer feedback Adjust direction intentionally Repeat the process continuously An effective AI capital strategy demonstrates learning velocity. If a startup can validate assumptions every few weeks instead of every six months, it becomes far easier for investors to evaluate both the product and the leadership team. AI Capital Strategy Depends on Cross-Functional Thinking One of the strongest themes from the conversation was that technical excellence alone is no longer enough. Developers remain essential. Business leaders remain essential. Product thinkers remain essential. But AI lets each discipline contribute earlier than ever before. Danny encouraged developers to partner with business-minded collaborators much earlier in the development cycle, instead of waiting until the software is nearly complete. Likewise, founders should involve technical experts before making major strategic commitments. This collaborative approach cuts expensive rework and improves product-market alignment. In practical terms, modern startups benefit from combining: Technical expertise Customer understanding Business strategy Legal guidance Product design AI accelerates each discipline individually. Systems thinking is what connects them into a competitive advantage. The strongest startups don't build faster because of AI — they make better decisions because the right people collaborate sooner. AI Capital Strategy Requires Better Feedback Loops One recurring idea throughout the interview was the importance of continuous feedback. AI dramatically shortens development cycles — but it also shortens the time it takes to make expensive mistakes. As founders produce prototypes faster, they have to evaluate them faster too. Danny described this as building feedback loops that operate at every level of the business, from daily work to long-term strategy. That philosophy applies across an organization: Review customer feedback frequently Measure product adoption consistently Revisit strategic assumptions regularly Validate technical decisions continuously Without these feedback mechanisms, AI just lets organizations scale poor decisions more efficiently. Businesses with disciplined review processes, on the other hand, gain the confidence to move quickly because they know problems will surface early. AI Capital Strategy Is Really About Execution One of the most valuable insights from the conversation challenged a common startup assumption. Many founders believe funding creates success. In reality, funding amplifies execution. Money can't: Compensate for unclear priorities. Replace customer understanding. Fix poor communication between technical and business teams. Instead, investment magnifies whatever already exists inside an organization. The same principle applies to AI. Founders who understand their customers, document their processes, and iterate intentionally get tremendous leverage from modern AI tools. Meanwhile, organizations chasing technology without operational discipline often produce more activity than meaningful progress. AI makes it easier to build products. It does not make it easier to build successful businesses. Conclusion Artificial intelligence is transforming far more than software development. It's redefining how startups are funded, how products are built, and how competitive advantages are created. An effective AI capital strategy recognizes that funding alone is no longer the differentiator it once was. Today's founders have unprecedented opportunities to validate ideas, build early traction, and demonstrate execution before approaching investors. Those who combine technical expertise with strategic thinking and continuous learning will stand out in an increasingly crowded marketplace. The future belongs to organizations that treat AI as a force multiplier for disciplined systems — not as a shortcut around them. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community

Portland, Oregon is making headlines for all the wrong reasons — Keith Wilson was just hauled into court facing 88 separate retail theft charges, with stores across Multnomah County tallying more than $115,000 in total losses. That's not a crime spree. That's a career. And Portland let it run for case after case after case before anyone intervened.Sean breaks down what it actually takes to get arrested in the Pacific Northwest — apparently something north of 87 prior theft incidents. Security footage existed. Repeat-offender records existed. What didn't exist was the political will to act until the case count became too embarrassing to ignore. Wilson now sits on $300,000 bail, which tells you everything about how dangerous repeat offenders become when cities treat shoplifting as a non-arrest offense.Portland's soft-on-crime experiment has a body count — not always in lives, but in storefronts. Retailers across Oregon, Washington, and California have been quietly closing locations for years because insurance won't cover the losses and employees can't safely intervene. Open-air drug markets absorb stolen merchandise within hours. Wilson's 88-case run is a symptom of a policy failure, not an outlier.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell — Sean will follow up on this one if it moves.#NFRP #Portland #RetailTheftGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

We've all heard the old cliché that "history repeats itself," but the Torah actually reveals a massive flaw in that idea. The Greeks believed history repeats itself. Enlightenment thinkers believed history marches relentlessly forward. The Torah suggests they're both missing something. In this episode, Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz begin with a single Hebrew word—eikev—and uncover a uniquely Jewish philosophy of history. Through the insights of Ramban, Giambattista Vico, Johann Gottfried Herder, Isaiah Berlin, and Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, they discover a vision of history that is neither an endless cycle nor a straight line of inevitable progress, but a sometimes crooked, yet ultimately purposeful journey in which the past continually echoes into the present. Along the way, they explore Vico's revolutionary claim that history—and indeed all of the human sciences—is fundamentally different from the physical sciences. Nature may be governed by universal laws, mathematical formulas, and today's algorithms, but history is lived, remembered, recorded, and thereby created by human beings. It can therefore be understood only by entering the language, imagination, memory, and lived experience of a people. From Herder they learn that every nation and culture possesses its own authentic voice, and from the Torah that every generation must reinterpret its inherited story without abandoning it. Discover why Jewish history doesn't simply repeat itself—it rhymes. Key Takeaways History Doesn't Repeat. It Rhymes - The Torah rejects both the Greek idea that history endlessly repeats itself and the Enlightenment belief in inevitable progress. Jewish history moves toward redemption, but along the way the same moral challenges return, inviting each generation to respond anew. Eikev Is More Than a Word - The opening word of the parsha—eikev—means "because," "heel," and "crooked path." Through Ramban, we discover that Jewish history is purposeful without always being direct. God's covenant unfolds through the winding paths of human choices rather than along a straight line. History Is Made by People, Not Formulas - Vico, Herder, Isaiah Berlin, and Rabbi Jonathan Sacks help us appreciate what the Torah has always assumed: unlike the physical sciences, history cannot be reduced to universal laws or algorithms. It is created by people, cultures, language, and memory—and can only be understood by entering their lived experience.

The Friction Tax: Are You Trapping Customers? Signing up takes less than a minute. Canceling takes 45. The cancellation button is buried. Customer support is difficult to reach. Returning a product requires multiple steps. A "retention specialist" keeps a customer on the phone until surrender feels easier than leaving. That is more than poor customer service. It is the customer friction tax: the extra time, effort, confusion, and frustration customers must absorb because a company benefits from making it difficult to cancel, return, receive help, or leave. In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution Podcast, Denise Thompson and John DiJulius examine when ordinary operational friction becomes deliberate customer exploitation—and what that friction reveals about an organization's priorities. When Customer Friction Becomes Part of the Business Model New York City recently adopted a click-to-cancel rule for automatically renewing and continuous-service subscriptions. Beginning October 1, 2026, covered businesses must clearly disclose subscription terms and provide consumers with a straightforward way to cancel. The fact that cancellation procedures need government regulation raises a larger customer experience question: Can an organization call itself customer-centric when it intentionally makes leaving difficult? John explains that ease of doing business should apply throughout the entire relationship—not just when the customer is ready to buy. That includes reaching support, resolving a problem, returning a purchase, changing an agreement, and canceling a service. Bad Profits Create Long-Term Damage Some companies generate revenue through what John calls "bad profits": hidden charges, excessive fees, restrictive policies, complicated contracts, or deliberately difficult cancellation processes. These practices may protect short-term revenue, but they can also: Destroy customer trust Generate complaints and negative word of mouth Increase service and staffing costs Create opportunities for competitors Force employees to defend policies they believe are unfair Increase frontline frustration and turnover Produce retention numbers that disguise customer dissatisfaction Blockbuster once generated approximately 16% of its revenue from late fees. That revenue made abandoning late fees appear financially dangerous—but it also prevented the company from adapting to a subscription model that customers increasingly preferred. Retention Is Not the Same as Loyalty A customer who remains because canceling is difficult has not been retained through loyalty. That customer has been trapped through friction. Healthy customer relationships produce repeat business, referrals, trust, and advocacy. Customer captivity may temporarily improve retention metrics, but it does not create customers who create more customers. Leaders must look beyond cancellation rates and ask why customers stay. Are they staying because they value the relationship—or because switching, canceling, or finding an alternative feels like too much work? Customer Friction Also Damages the Employee Experience Frontline employees frequently bear the consequences of unreasonable policies they did not create and cannot change. When employees repeatedly have to say, "I don't make the rules," it signals a larger system problem. Employees become the messengers for decisions designed to protect revenue, absorbing customers' anger while lacking the authority to make things right. Removing unnecessary customer friction is therefore both a customer experience and employee experience strategy. How Leaders Can Find Their Biggest Friction Points John recommends that leaders experience their organization as customers do. Purchase something. Attempt to return it. Try to cancel. Contact support. Track how many screens, calls, transfers, explanations, and approvals the process requires. Do not merely ask whether the process works. Ask how hard the customer must work to make it work. Leaders should also: Listen to customer calls and analyze customer sentiment Identify recurring complaints and escalations Examine policies that produce fees or prevent cancellations Compare earned sales from repeat customers and referrals with sales purchased through advertising Track retention after contractual obligations end Give employees appropriate authority to resolve problems Remove incentives that reward short-term revenue at the customer's expense Making it easier for unhappy customers to leave may feel risky. But making every customer feel trapped is far more dangerous. Trust is more valuable than captivity. Key Takeaways Ease of doing business must apply to the entire customer relationship, including cancellation, returns, support, and service recovery. Retention does not prove loyalty when customers face barriers to leaving. "Bad profits" may increase short-term revenue while damaging trust, referrals, employee morale, and long-term growth. Frontline employees suffer when they must defend policies they know are frustrating or unfair. Customer complaints and service-recovery situations are opportunities to demonstrate empathy and rebuild loyalty. Leaders should personally test their organization's customer journey. Repeat business and referrals are stronger indicators of loyalty than cancellation rates alone. The critical question is not whether a process works, but how hard customers must work to make it work. Memorable Quotes "Not all profit is good profit." "A customer hasn't been retained through loyalty. They've been trapped through friction." "Every company's job is to create customers who create customers." "You wouldn't have to chase new customers if you were keeping the existing ones." "Leaders need to spend time on the front line so they can feel the pain." "Don't ask whether the process works. Ask how hard the customer must work to make it work." "Trust is far more valuable than captivity."

Workplaces are awash with acronyms. We can sometimes hold an entire meeting using apparently impenetrable collections of letters and numbers. Acronyms are handy, though, when they make an important idea easier to remember and apply. R.E.A.L. leadership describes four practical attributes of effective leaders: Reliable, Empathetic, Aspirational and Learning. None of these qualities is revolutionary. The challenge is demonstrating them consistently when deadlines are tight, pressure is high and everyone is busy. What does R.E.A.L. leadership mean? R.E.A.L. leadership means being Reliable, Empathetic, Aspirational and committed to Learning. Together, these four attributes create trust, engagement, direction and adaptability. Leadership frameworks only matter when they influence daily behaviour. A beautifully designed company value printed on the wall is not much use when the boss repeatedly breaks promises, ignores employee concerns, communicates no compelling future and refuses to reconsider outdated ideas. The R.E.A.L. model gives executives, managers and team leaders a practical leadership checklist. Reliability creates credibility. Empathy helps leaders understand what people are experiencing. Aspiration connects everyday work to a bigger purpose. Learning prevents the leader and the organisation from becoming trapped by yesterday's success. This model applies across Japanese companies, multinational corporations, small and medium-sized enterprises and fast-growing startups. The balance may differ, but the underlying leadership expectations remain remarkably similar. Do now: Ask yourself which of the four R.E.A.L. qualities your people experience most strongly—and which one they rarely see. Why is reliability essential for leadership trust? Reliable leaders build trust by doing what they say they will do, keeping their promises and showing consistent interest in the development of their people. Reliability sounds obvious, but it frequently breaks down in practice. Leaders make commitments during meetings, become distracted by the next emergency and quietly forget what they promised. Employees do not forget. They watch whether the leader's words and actions match. Trust is not built by position, title or a magnificent name card. It develops when people see a predictable pattern of follow-through. This includes delivering decisions on time, providing promised resources, giving feedback and supporting an employee's professional growth. Leaders also need to connect organisational objectives with individual goals. Employees naturally wonder, "What is in this for me?" That is not necessarily selfishness. They want to understand how their effort affects their career, skills, reputation and future opportunities. When company and individual interests are aligned, leaders usually gain stronger commitment, greater loyalty and better execution. Do now: Review the promises you have made to your team during the past month. Close the loop on every outstanding commitment. How does empathy improve leadership performance? Empathetic leadership improves performance because leaders make better decisions when they understand the experiences, concerns and viewpoints of their people. Empathy is closely connected to listening. It is difficult to see a situation from another person's perspective when we have never taken the time to discover what that perspective actually is. Busy bosses often see the calm surface of the workplace but miss what is happening underneath. Employees may appear cooperative while privately dealing with confusion, frustration, excessive workloads or concerns about organisational change. Leaders who only demand the numbers may achieve short-term compliance, but they can lose ideas, initiative and discretionary effort. Position power works up to a point. Employees will often do what the boss commands because they have little choice. However, authority alone rarely unlocks creativity, honest feedback or intelligent disagreement. Empathetic leaders do not abandon standards or avoid difficult conversations. They combine accountability with curiosity. They listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions and communicate that they genuinely care about the people producing the results. Do now: In your next one-to-one conversation, spend more time asking and listening than explaining and directing. What makes an aspirational leader effective? Aspirational leaders help people see beyond immediate targets by connecting individual responsibilities to a meaningful and achievable future. Most organisations are consumed by the urgent. Teams concentrate on this month's sales, this quarter's costs, the latest customer complaint or the next internal deadline. These issues matter, but leadership also requires the ability to hover above the everyday melee and see the destination on the far horizon. An aspirational leader explains where the organisation is going, why the destination matters and how each person contributes to reaching it. A generic vision statement is not enough. The message must resonate with employees working in different functions, locations and career stages. A finance professional, salesperson, engineer and frontline manager may all contribute to the same strategic objective, but each needs to understand the goal in language connected to their own work. Leaders must repeatedly translate strategy into relevance. When employees can see the connection between today's tasks and tomorrow's achievement, routine work gains greater meaning. Do now: Explain your organisation's larger goal in one clear sentence, then show every team member how their role contributes to it. Why must leaders continue learning? Leaders must continue learning because experience only creates value when they examine it, challenge their assumptions and adapt their decisions. Many executives claim to have thirty years of experience. In reality, some have had one year of experience thirty times. They repeat familiar methods, defend favoured opinions and rely on approaches that worked in a different competitive environment. Their thinking becomes locked inside a mental vault, and somewhere along the way they lose the key. Senior people are especially vulnerable because previous success can make their judgement appear unchallengeable. They also become extremely busy working in the business rather than working on the business. Reflection, reading, coaching and experimentation are treated as optional luxuries. Learning leaders remain willing to permanently kill their favourite ideas when the evidence changes. They invite alternative viewpoints, study failures and test new approaches. This does not mean chasing every management fashion. It means remaining intellectually flexible enough to recognise when customers, employees, technology or competitors have moved on. Do now: Identify one long-held assumption about your business that deserves to be questioned rather than automatically defended. How can leaders apply the R.E.A.L. model every day? Leaders apply the R.E.A.L. model by turning each attribute into an observable behaviour rather than treating leadership as an abstract philosophy. For reliability, maintain a visible record of commitments and report back when actions are completed. For empathy, schedule regular conversations in which employees can discuss concerns, ideas and ambitions without being immediately interrupted or judged. For aspiration, connect team objectives to the organisation's larger purpose. Do not assume people can automatically see the connection. Repeat it, personalise it and illustrate it with concrete examples. For learning, build reflection into the working rhythm. After an important project, client meeting or decision, ask what worked, what failed and what should change next time. R.E.A.L. leadership does not require a dramatic personality. Introverted and extroverted leaders can both demonstrate these qualities. Nor does it depend on hierarchy. A project leader, new manager or experienced executive can all become more reliable, empathetic, aspirational and committed to learning. Do now: Choose one visible R.E.A.L. behaviour to practise consistently for the next thirty days. How can organisations develop more R.E.A.L. leaders? Organisations develop R.E.A.L. leaders by reinforcing these behaviours through selection, development, performance management and senior-level role modelling. Leadership expectations cannot live only in a training programme. Recruitment and promotion decisions should examine whether candidates keep commitments, listen effectively, communicate a larger direction and learn from experience. Performance discussions should also assess how results were achieved. A manager who reaches the target while exhausting the team, withholding information or damaging trust may create larger costs later. Senior executives have an especially important role. Employees study what powerful people do far more carefully than what corporate values say. When executives admit mistakes, seek feedback and honour promises, they make learning and reliability safer for everyone else. Leadership development should give managers opportunities to practise difficult conversations, coaching, strategic communication and decision-making. Knowledge alone is insufficient. People need feedback, repetition and accountability until the new behaviour becomes natural. Do now: Include at least one R.E.A.L. behaviour in every leadership development and performance conversation. Conclusion R.E.A.L. leadership is easy to remember, which is at least a useful beginning. Reliable leaders build trust. Empathetic leaders understand the people behind the performance. Aspirational leaders connect everyday work to a bigger future. Learning leaders keep adapting rather than becoming prisoners of their previous success. We already know that these qualities matter. The problem is that pressure, deadlines and constant activity make us forget—or convince us that we are too busy to practise them. Leadership does not become real because we understand a framework intellectually. It becomes real when our people repeatedly experience the behaviour. Let's change what they experience.

He shares his journey with intermittent fasting, beginning with his upbringing in a religious household where he was expected to suppress his emotions. He describes how food became a source of comfort and how this led to struggles with weight throughout his life. Marvin recounts his early attempts at dieting and how he discovered intermittent fasting through podcasts during his long newspaper delivery routes. This discovery marked a turning point, helping him to manage his weight and emotions more effectively.Marvin emphasizes the importance of consistency in fasting, noting that it has been his greatest victory. He discusses how tracking his progress with tools like Happy Scale has motivated him to maintain his fasting routine. Marvin also shares insights into how his taste in food has evolved, preferring more satisfying and nutritious options over processed foods. He highlights the significance of setting small, achievable goals and how these have contributed to his overall success and well-being.Marvin's advice to new intermittent fasters is to start small and not feel ashamed if they can't go all out immediately. He stresses the importance of focusing on one's identity and living from that perspective, rather than striving for external validation. This approach, he believes, is crucial for long-term success and personal fulfillment.Join Gin in the new Fast Feast Repeat app for The Grown-Up Year: 52 Weeks to Listen, Play, and Nourish, as well as a growing collection of intermittent fasting resources.

Rewire how you think about wealth and money with these "I AM" affirmations centered on financial abundance, wealth mindset, and self-worth. Repeat these affirmations DAILY to interrupt old scarcity thinking before it has a chance to ruin your life. After each session, you'll feel more confident, more open, and more aligned with the financial life you actually want. Most people are stuck with the same old money stories...not enough, not yet, not for me. And worst of all, they didn't even choose this mindset. It was instilled in them by parents, society, etc. This episode offers a life-changing mindset shift. A few minutes spent here, and you're shifting into abundance and confidence instead of lack...a small but powerful shift that, practiced consistently, changes far more than just your mindset around money. This episode guides you through: - Affirmations for effortless money flow and steadily growing abundance - A wealth mindset practice that reframes your relationship with money and financial freedom - Affirmations reminding you there's more than enough success in this world for everyone, including you - Self-worth and self-belief affirmations that build your confidence as your wealth grows - Affirmations to release doubt and trust that everything is already working out in your financial favor Make this part of your daily routine...listen first thing in the morning, during a work break, on your commute, or right before bed. Be sure to listen all the way through for the full experience. The more consistently you return to it, the more naturally abundance and financial confidence start to feel like your default state, not something you have to reach for. #affirmations #wealth #money #abundance Check out the Wake Me Up Mindset Coach app: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://studio.com/wakemeup⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

She began fasting after a friend introduced her to the book Fast Feast Repeat during a gathering in Alabama. Inspired by the book, Vicki started her fasting journey the very next day and has since completed 780 clean fasts. Her story is one of transformation, as she navigated through menopause and weight gain, finding a lifestyle that made her feel good in her body again.Throughout the episode, Vicki discusses her past struggles with weight and health issues, including hormone imbalances and post-viral disease. She recounts her experiences with various diets and the impact of stress on her weight. Vicki emphasizes the clarity and energy she gained through intermittent fasting, which not only improved her physical health but also her mental well-being. Her journey is marked by personal growth and a newfound compassion for others struggling with similar challenges.Vicki offers advice to new intermittent fasters, highlighting the importance of patience and consistency. She wishes she had known that maintenance wouldn't be easy for her and stresses the need for a solid plan to handle stress and life changes. Her key takeaway is to keep the fasting routine consistent, even during challenging times, and to listen to one's body. Vicki's story is a testament to the power of intermittent fasting in achieving a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.Join Gin in the new Fast Feast Repeat app for The Grown-Up Year: 52 Weeks to Listen, Play, and Nourish, as well as a growing collection of intermittent fasting resources.

My guest for today's episode is Josh Kerr – mile world record holder. On July 18th at the London Diamond League, in front of 60,000 people, Josh ran 3:42.66 to break Hicham El Guerrouj's record that had stood for 27 years, which was the longest-standing mile world record in the history of the event, and one that many believed might never fall. He did it by calling his shot four months in advance, locking himself into a specific date and venue before he had even finished rehabbing the calf he tore at the World Championships in Tokyo last September.Josh is already one of the most decorated middle-distance runners of his generation — world champion, two-time Olympic medalist, two-time world indoor champion at 3000 meters. But the world record puts him in a different category entirely. He is now the seventh Brit to hold the mile world record, and the first since Steve Cram in 1985, joining a line that runs through Roger Bannister, Seb Coe, Steve Ovett, and Steve Cram. The race commentator on the world feed, Tim Hutchings, called it the ballsiest world record in the history of middle-distance racing. It was hard to disagree.This conversation was recorded two days after the race, with Kyle Merber joining as co-host. We get into the full arc of Project 222. We go deep on the spike Brooks built specifically for his foot strike and what it actually contributed to the margin. Josh walks us through the whiteboard session in Albuquerque where they debated every split for an hour, the 1200m time trial two weeks out that converted the last remaining skeptics, the mental performance framework that kept him in flow state when 60,000 people were watching, and what was happening internally when he cracked that smile before the gun and went completely deaf with 150 meters to go.We also get into what Tokyo taught him, the cage door philosophy Danny Mackey lives by, and who the performance was really for…which is not the answer you might expect.____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSCORE: The CORE 2 Thermal Sensor takes the guessing out of heat training.

If you've ever wondered why you lose it faster when you're already overloaded, the answer may lie in your nervous system—not your parenting. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, founder of Regulation First Parenting™, helps families calm emotional dysregulation so lasting change can begin.Ever wonder why a tiny comment from your child suddenly pushes you over the edge? Why you lose it faster when you're already overloaded isn't about becoming a better parent overnight—it's about understanding why your nervous system reaches its limit before your child even says a word.In this episode, I explain why parenting feels impossible when your stress cup is already overflowing and how small moments of regulation can completely change what happens next.Why do I lose my patience with my child so quickly?If you find yourself snapping over something small and instantly feeling guilty, you're not alone. It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain.When your nervous system has been carrying stress all day (or even for years), your reaction isn't caused by that one moment. It's the result of everything you've been holding.Signs your stress cup is already full:Decision fatigueFinancial or relationship stressPoor sleep or hormonal changesConstant caregiving without recoveryImagine walking through the door after a long day of work, emails, and appointments. Your child complains about homework, and suddenly you're yelling before you even realize it. That's nervous system overload—not failure.Why does everything feel harder when I'm already stressed?When your body stays in survival mode, even ordinary parenting challenges feel enormous.Instead of asking, "What's wrong with my child?" Dr. Roseann encourages parents to ask:What am I carrying right now?How full is my own stress cup?What does my nervous system need before I respond?Behavior is communication—but so is your own reaction.

Send us Fan MailChris Hobson, CEO of Rare Beauty Brands, home to Patchology and Kate Somerville, breaks down the business of beauty: the insight that turned Old Spice around, what it now costs to build a brand, how to handle dupes, and the metrics founders should track.Who is Chris Hobson?He started a clothing brand in college in Canada, then joined Procter & Gamble in brand management, running Scope, Folgers Canada, Old Spice, and Secret before an MBA and a career building brands. "As a brand manager, you get trained as sort of the mini general manager of your brand."How did he turn around Old Spice?By finding an insight instead of denying the brand's age. Research showed a woman would borrow her partner's deodorant from almost any brand except Old Spice. "We came up with this funny tongue in cheek positioning of Old Spice as the last bastion of masculinity." The brand went from a distant fifth to third in Canada, and the positioning went global.What makes consumers loyal to a beauty brand?Product quality first, emotional connection second. "When you get that magic of the consumer insight married to really high quality product, that's the foundation of a brand."What insight drives Patchology and Kate Somerville?Two very different ones. "The insight for a Patchology consumer is I want a moment of joy... the act of putting on the mask slows me down from my crazy day." The Kate Somerville consumer is buying certainty from a clinic with 20 years and 250,000 facials behind it.Should beauty brands chase trends?Only in ways authentic to the brand, though Hobson is candid about the pull. "The science is sort of suspect, but hey, it's a $10 million opportunity. How do we not do it?" Brands lose themselves when they go wholesale trend focused.Why did Patchology stop marketing its science?Because consumers buy results, not mechanisms. Hobson watched women's eyes glaze over at talk of ten times more ingredient delivery, then light up when the patches came off. "Turns out all she cares about is the better results."How long does it take to build a beauty brand?Longer than founders expect, now that ad costs have erased the cheap growth era. "You've got to be prepared to raise 10 to 20 million dollars at least, and spend 10 to 20 years on it. That's the new reality."Why is it harder for indie brands to scale now?The economics of attention changed. "The advertising prices have come up and the ROI has come down, and so it's harder for young brands to make that leap."How should a brand respond to dupes?By owning the category so copies feed demand back to the original. "When a brand copies us, a rising tide lifts all boats." Patchology is up over 20 percent this year.Do dupes steal customers from the original?Within limits set by price and psychology. "They're wearing it and they're knowing in their mind, I'm not really wearing Chanel." Hobson argues most of those consumers come back.Does getting into Target or Walmart grow a beauty brand?Not without demand behind it. "If you don't have the demand generation capability in place to move that product off the shelf... you're out." Accessibility is a high stakes strategy, not a shortcut.What metrics should new beauty founders track?Repeat purchase above all, measured by cohort rather than revenue share. "The way we make money as brands is repeat purchase... if I had to go out and acquire a customer every single time, I'd go out of business."What is the biggest business lesson of his career?People. "You want to hire the A level person, even if they're a little threatening to you, because they're gonna do the job way better than you would ever do it."Listen to the full episode with Chris Hobson of Rare Beauty Brands on Skin Anarchy, available wherever you get your podcasts.Shop Kate Sommerville and PatchologyDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

Chris Chavez and Kyle Merber drop the full preview of the 2026 USATF Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Icahn Stadium in New York City, held Thursday through Sunday.CITIUS MAG will have daily end-of-day recap podcasts, a daily newsletter, and interviews on YouTube throughout the weekend.Watch on USATF.tv, Peacock, and NBC (Saturday and Sunday TV windows). Free tickets are available courtesy of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's 500-ticket giveaway for Thursday and Friday. If you live within a couple hours of Icahn Stadium, no excuses.Some of the events discussed in this episode:– Women's 10K (Thursday): Thin field after Karissa Schweizer scratched. Top eight from last year's USAs are not competing. Kyle's read: the scratch actually makes for a better race — more wide open.– Men's 10K (Thursday): 13 men entered. Grant Fisher versus Woody Kincaid as the headline matchup — Grant riding the momentum of his first Diamond League victory and doubling in the 5K.– Women's 100m (Friday): No MJW vs. Sha'Carri head-to-head.– Men's 100m (Friday): Noah Lyles vs. Kenny Bednarek. Noah has been everywhere at Fanatics Fest and FIFA World Cup events so the question is how much that toll has taken. Kenny knows this is a great opportunity to get one up on him.– Women's 3000m steeplechase (Saturday): One of the deepest American steeple fields of the season — seven athletes entered at 9:20 or faster. The fastest American time of the year comes out of this race.– Men's 3000m steeplechase (Saturday): Matt Wilkinson at 8:09 is the ninth-fastest man in the world and a clear favorite — remarkable given he was on crutches after last year's USAs and came back with a straight-up PR.– Men's 1500m (Saturday): Top five from last year not competing so the race opens up.– Women's 1500m (Saturday): The rest of the field will be watching Nikki rather than racing their own race, so it's becoming a Faith Kipyegon dynamic where others defer rather than attack.– Women's 800m (Sunday): Roisin Willis is the top seed and story of the year in the women's 800 — US indoor record holder, strong outdoor season, coming off a brilliant performance in Stockholm. Addy Wiley has a Diamond League victory.– Men's 800m (Sunday): Brandon Miller scratched after London. Cooper Lukhenhaus vs. Donavan Brazier as the top billing — two of three members of last year's World Championship team.– Women's 5K (Sunday): Parker Valby vs. Shelby Houlihan. These two have never raced. Parker has run 14:39 this season (going by herself, no one could hang). Shelby was fourth at Worlds, has been running 800s, 1500s, 2 miles, 10Ks — she's fit and she's an 8:15 person with the ultimate kick.– Men's 5K (Sunday): Grant Fisher the heavy favorite.____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBANDIT: For 2026, Bandit is providing support for any Unsponsored athletes competing at the USATF Outdoor Championships.

Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia reconvene to debrief the rest of the London Diamond League. Chris and Kyle Merber's emergency pod captured the immediate reaction; this episode is the follow-up, covering everything that got overshadowed by the world record.We discuss:– Preet in the building: Eight flights of stairs between the mixed zone and the seating area to watch Josh Kerr's world record run.– Post-race mixed zone: Josh got emotional exactly once — when Hannah England asked him about the mental toll of the entire process. His first beer since his December wedding was that Saturday night. For a Scotsman, six months without a beer is its own kind of suffering.– Was the world record overshadowed by the World Cup? The day before the World Cup final, England played France in a 6-4 third-place match the same evening. The next morning, BBC Sport's homepage had zero stories about Josh Kerr.– Does this get Josh knighted? Chris's very American question.– Does the mile world record mean as much globally as the 1500? Preet raises the question: the mile matters enormously in the US and UK, but does it land elsewhere?– Sawe vs. Kerr: which was bigger?– Women's 800m — Keely wins in 1:56.21: The pacemaker went through 400 in 56.8, suggesting they were targeting sub-1:55 but backed off — if she'd gone through in 55 flat as planned, it might have been a 1:55 race. Preet's context: this was Keely's 50th sub-2:00 performance and her nineteenth sub-1:57.– Would you rather have Josh's career or Keely's right now?The rest of London — the performances that got overshadowed:– Brandon Miller, 1:42.19 in the men's 800m: Nearly a full second PB, fifth all-time for Americans. Timed his kick off the final bend perfectly.– Julien Alfred, 21.66 in the women's 200: Third win in nine days.– Karsten Warholm, 46.61 in the 400 hurdles: World lead, first hurdles race win of the season, meeting record.– Ja'Kobe Tharp, 12.89 in the 110m hurdles: Fifth time under 13 seconds this season — the first athlete in history to go sub-13 in five consecutive 110m hurdles races.– Kayinsola Ajayi, 9.84 in the men's 100m: Beats world champion Oblique Seville for the second time this season — turns and looks at him as they cross the line.– Rai Benjamin, 44.05 PB in the men's 400m: Beats Matthew Hudson-Smith (44.18). First Diamond League 400m win.– Marileidy Paulino, 48.97 in the women's 400m: Fourth sub-49 this season.– Jess Hull wins the women's 3000m, 8:24.69: Fierce surge with 200 to go– Looking ahead: Josh Kerr to appear on the CITIUS MAG podcast Wednesday.

Today with Robin J. Emdon: You left the customer's house and told them you'd have the quote to them by tomorrow. Then the installer had a question. Then the admin had a question. Then another customer called about a new job. And three days later, that quote still isn't written, and you're the one who feels guilty about it. Here's the truth Robin J. Emdon wants you to sit with: this isn't a discipline problem. Robin is the creator of GetResultsology®, The Science of Getting Stuff Done, known as The Procrastination Slayer and The Momentum Architect. After realizing in 2019 that procrastination had cost him years of his own life, a six year degree that took him ten, Robin spent the shutdown of 2020 doing what he does best: researching the research on neuroscience and behavioral psychology. What he found is that capable, competent people procrastinate for a hardwired, biological reason, not because they're lazy or disorganized. In this conversation, Robin breaks down the three neurotransmitters driving whether you follow through or freeze, and gives the research behind why accountability works: a private, unwritten goal gets done about 46 percent of the time, but add writing it down and real human accountability, and that number jumps to 76 percent. LuAnn connects that research directly to a practice built into every Exciting Windows conference, where members publicly commit to a six month goal, write it on a postcard, and get held to it when the next conference opens. If a quote, a pricing review, or a piece of your marketing has been sitting for longer than you'd like to admit, this episode gives you the actual mechanism behind why, and what to do about it starting this week.

Emdon is the creator of GetResultsology® – The Science of Getting Stuff Done!, a practical, science-backed system that helps solopreneurs, creatives, and independent professionals overcome procrastination, build momentum, and follow through on the work that truly moves the needle.  Nicknamed The Procrastination Slayer and The Momentum Architect, Robin has supported clients across the full spectrum of productivity challenges — from those paralysed at the starting line to high-performers seeking more clarity and speed.  Robin's path began in his family's retail business, followed by life coach training in California in 2001. While raising two sons as a full-time single dad in South Devon, coaching took a back seat — until a turning point in 2019, when he realised how deeply procrastination had stalled his own goals. A six-year degree had taken him ten.  When the world went quiet in 2020, Robin immersed himself in neuroscience, behavioural psychology, and productivity research. Out of that came GetResultsology® and his signature momentum formula:  Do it today – Profit tomorrow – Repeat.  Robin now helps clients worldwide turn daily action into meaningful progress and attainable success — all from his quiet corner on England's southwest coast.  Connect with Robin J.

If you've ever stared at a blank page wondering what to write about, this one's for you.-- This weeks show is brought you by signaturestudio.me --This week I'm back with my friend Rachel Extance, an award-winning blogger and one of the best thinkers I know on how to make complicated things simple. We first spoke years ago about blogging. This time the conversation goes much further - AI, opinions, personal brand, and what happens when your content starts living in too many places at once.If you're a leader, consultant, coach or founder trying to build authority, this gives you a proper structure for what to say and where to say it.✳️ The imagination gap - Rachel's "editorial expansion prism" splits your business into five areas: identity and purpose, updates and activity, knowledge and insights, work and projects, and community and participation. Look there first and you'll never run out of things to say.✳️ Own your platform first - a blog post you create once can become an email, a LinkedIn post, a newsletter or a video script. Post it anywhere else first and you're stuck on the hamster wheel. Post it on your own website first and you're building an asset.✳️ Treat your business like a magazine - as things grow more complex, think in sections instead of one long list. Clear labels, search boxes and internal links stop people getting lost, and stop your own team duplicating each other's work.Rachel's amplifiers:✳️ Don't assume people know what you know - share the basics. What feels obvious to you is new information to most of your audience.✳️ Repeat yourself - only a small slice of your audience sees any single post. Say the same thing again. Nobody's counting.✳️ Jot things down as you go - keep a simple running list of conversations, questions and moments from your week.

This morning a nutrition client texted Krysta to celebrate a win — not a number on the scale, but a Reel that took off in 20 minutes. That tiny moment is personal brand at work: when people feel who you are, they attach to everything you're about, not just what you're selling. In this third installment of the accidental July personal-brand series, Krysta goes a layer deeper on the one question that changes everything — what do you want to be known for? In this episode we dive into:• The difference between being visible and being recognizable• Why reputation is built through repetition (and why you're not repeating enough)• The house-and-doors metaphor that lets you talk about more than one thing• How to drill past the category to the association people actually rememberVisible vs. Recognizable• Posting more isn't the fix — plenty of people are visible and still completely forgettable• "What should I post?" comes with frustrated, behind, 37-minutes-into-a-doom-scroll energy• "What do I want to be known for?" gives that same post a reason and a job• Recognizable means people know what you stand for even when your topics changeReputation Is Built Through Repetition• Most people aren't close to repeating themselves enough — you get bored long before your audience does• That post you agonized over? They half-saw it once, in line at Whole Foods, mid-notification• Repeat the point of view, not the exact words — through different stories, examples, and client moments• The house metaphor: your topics are doors (entryways into your world), and your through line is the roof that makes every room belongGo One Layer Deeper Than the Category• "I want to be known for fitness" is a category, not a reputation• Push further: which kind, for whom, solving what specific problem, with what point of view• Krysta's example — not "fitness," but the coach who helps busy women stop putting everyone else first• This is identity work: what you want to be known for in your work, your body, your relationships, and your own headThis conversation reminds us that being known for something is bigger than your public reputation — it's your private identity too. Whether you're a founder tired of reinventing the wheel every single caption or someone who just wants to feel like themselves again online, this episode offers the reframe (and the permission) to stop chasing visibility and start building recognition.This Week's Exercise: Write "I want to be known for…" at the top of a note. Don't stop at the category. Keep pushing — for whom, solving what, with what point of view — until the answer is specific enough to actually repeat.FYX Tip of the Week: Pick one thing you want to be known for, then pick the proof. If it's "someone who follows through," don't just commit to three workouts — schedule them as protected time. Choose the identity, then choose the behavior that earns it.No Such Thing of the Week: There is no such thing as being known for something you only share once in a while.

Antenatal corticosteroids are a MAJOR win in the management of preterm labor. An initial course of antenatal corticosteroids has been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes. For patients who remain undelivered after the initial course of antenatal corticosteroids, it is uncertain whether a booster course of antenatal corticosteroids reduces neonatal morbidity or increases the infection risk. The ACOG, in its current guidance, has concluded that the current evidence is insufficient to make a recommendation. Corticosteroids, especially at the doses given, are also powerful immunosuppressants. When you administer that first course, you accept a minor, calculated risk for a massive, proven benefit. But when you introduce a second course of steroids into a uterine environment that has already been ruptured and exposed to vaginal flora for weeks, you are pouring fuel on the fire. PLUS, the environment for the fetus with prolonged preterm prelabor rupture of membranes is unique. PPPROM, the chronic exposure to ruptured membranes and the resultant oligohydramnios is theorized to trigger a kind of stress response in the fetus- so the baby may make their own endogenous corticosteroid flare. So, rescue steroids after an initial course of steroids in PPROM cases has remained controversial but we have updated data that has provided new insights. In this episode, we will highlight an RCT from 2023 and a more recent systematic review and meta-analysis from May 2026 on this very subject. Listen in for details. 1.

Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia are back for a packed episode. With Preet heading to the stadium on Saturday for the London Diamond League and the aftermath of the Monaco Diamond League, there's a lot to discuss:– World Cup check-in: England squeaked through in a stressful Saturday night match that Preet describes as not fun to watch.– CITIUS MAG x New Balance at the 2026 USATF Outdoor Championships– Running's baby boom– Emmanuel Wanyonyi, 1000m world record, 1:11.83: Monaco Diamond League. Broke Noah Ngeny's 27-year-old record of 1:11.96 set in Rieti in 1999. Can he inch closer to David Rudisha's 800m WR in London?– Julien Alfred, 21.51 in the women's 200m: Third-fastest women's 200 in history behind Flo-Jo (21.34) and Shericka Jackson (21.41). Why this one is not a shocker and we're living in the best year of the women's 200m with her, Elaine Thompson-Herah, Gabby, MJW, Shericka, plus Adaejah Hodge.– Collen Kebinatshipi goes 43.44 and is now on the conversation for the men's 400m world record, if he can maybe run the first 200m a bit more aggressively. The dream matchup is still Kebinatshipi vs. Samuel Ogazi.– Masai Russell's dominance: The five fastest women's 100 hurdles times of 2026 all belong to Masai Russell. Off the final hurdle, she sometimes begins to celebrate slightly before the line — that tiny relaxation may be the difference between her and the world record.– Agnes Ngetich runs 8:08.95 for No. 3 all-time in the 3000m, but what's up with Faith Kipyegon?– Graham Blanks showcased his best kick against pros in the 5000m in Monaco, which he nearly won.– More from the Monaco Diamond League– Russia was reinstated by the International Olympic Committee but there is still more to be sorted by Seb Coe and World Athletics' stance to keep Russian and Belarusian athletes out until the war in Ukraine ends– Celebrating records by decades rather than all-time to sidestep the doping era problems– Unpacking Josh Kerr's London mile world record attempt now that the full start list has been revealed. Preet argues that most of the field will just get on the fast train with Yared Nuguse as the potential spoiler if Kerr falters. Chris wants Hobbs Kessler to play spoiler from the gun by fighting for the front early.– The women's 800m has been billed as Keely Hodgkinson's world record attempt for months but it should be framed as a comeback race for the Olympic champion. The field is legitimately dangerous with Georgia Hunter-Bell and Femke Bol.+ More____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBANDIT: For 2026, Bandit is providing support for any Unsponsored athletes competing at the USATF Outdoor Championships.
