In this Daily Shift, Celeste explores how boundaries don't need intensity or anger to be effective. Aggression isn't authority — clarity and consistency are. This episode is a reminder that a calm, steady "no" carries more power than a reactive response. Firm doesn't have to mean forceful. Small shifts create big change.

The Trump administration is considering possible executive action that could require banks to begin collecting citizenship information from new and existing customers, according to a blockbuster scoop in The Wall Street Journal. Dylan Tokar, who cowrote the article for the WSJ, talks about what's behind the effort and what it means for banks. He also discusses the CFTC's battle with state governors over prediction markets, the launch of crypto banks and Coinbase CEO Brian Johnson's role in the center of the fight over stablecoin yield.

Why do revolutionary ideas so often come from outsiders? Do good scientists sometimes crowd out great ones? Do we still have room for scientific cowboys? And what is the relationship between national security and modern science? Are scientists participants in a larger game they barely see? What if the most important ideas are the ones you’re not allowed to hear about? From Crick and Watson to nuclear bombs and AI, today we’ll cover it all with physicist, mathematician, and iconoclast Eric Weinstein.

This week, Alex is joined by Rank 1 player (rounded up) and fan-favorite creator: Husky Puppies! The duo kicks things off by answering the community's burning question: Is the current Marvel Snap meta actually horrible? They break down the "uninteractive" nature of Star-Lord decks, discuss how to counter them in High Infinite using cards like Super Giant and Cosmo, and debate the best ways Second Dinner could nerf the card (Make him an Activate? Require a card play alongside floating energy?).Then, it's time for new card reviews! Alex and Husky discuss why the new Series 5 card Kraglin is a massive skip, why Magus is a bottom-tier release, and debate whether Drax (Avatar of Life) is the ultimate release valve for Ramp decks. Plus, Alex goes to bat for Jack Flag, calling it the best release of the month, while Husky remains skeptical until a spicy Aurora synergy is uncovered.Finally, they open the Mailbag to discuss the growing frustration around Card Shop FOMO and why waiting weeks for a specific card to rotate into the shop is creating unnecessary friction for players.Join Alex Coccia and special guest Husky Puppies as they chat about this and more on this episode of The Snap Chat—and catch Cozy and Alex every week as they discuss all things Marvel Snap.Have a question or comment for Cozy and Alex?

Prayers Big Enough To Require God By Archie Gilmer

Are you obsessing over utilisation numbers but still wondering why your clinic isn't as profitable as it should be?In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, we unpack the truth about utilisation and why time-based metrics alone can give clinic owners a false sense of security. We break down the difference between being busy and being profitable, explore financial utilisation, revenue per consult and revenue-to-salary ratios, and explain how service mix and client types directly impact your bottom line. We also dive into practical strategies for smarter diary management, benchmarking against your top performers, leveraging technology to reduce admin time, and why sometimes you need to “shrink to grow” to remove inefficiencies and unlock sustainable growth.If you want to move beyond surface-level metrics and build a leaner, more profitable clinic, this episode will change the way you think about utilisation forever.Need to systemise your clinic?

Sermon Series on Why Follow Jesus? by Pastor Chris Bossio

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Dr. Ross Greene, clinical psychologist and creator of the Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) model, to unpack why traditional rewards and punishments often make behavior worse — not better. We dive deep into why "because I said so" stops working, what your child's frustration is actually communicating, and how to shift from authoritarian control to collaborative leadership that builds trust, accountability, and critical thinking.   If you've ever thought, "Why is this not working anymore?" this episode will give you a radically different lens — and practical tools you can use immediately.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Why power struggles are so common in parenting [2:00] Introducing Dr. Ross Greene and the CPS model  [6:17] Why rewards and punishments don't solve the real problem  [8:33] Concerning behavior as a frustration response  [12:04] The 3-step collaborative problem-solving process explained  [16:19] Real-life example: solving teeth brushing battles with a 3-year-old  [30:56] Curfew conflict and how to navigate teenage resistance  [37:16] How collaborative parenting builds critical thinking  [41:56] Why authoritarian parenting may cause long-term harm  [47:06] Developmental variability — why every child is different  [49:23] Why noncompliance is informative, not defiance  [56:31] Accountability through collaboration — not punishment      Five Key Takeaways Concerning behavior is a signal, not a character flaw. It communicates an unsolved problem.  Rewards and punishments modify behavior — they don't solve the underlying issue.  The 3-step CPS process (Empathy, Define Adult Concern, Invitation) reduces conflict and builds trust.  Noncompliance is information. It tells you an expectation may exceed your child's current skill set.  Collaborative leadership builds accountability, emotional regulation, and critical thinking.      Links & Resources Dad Edge Alliance Preview Call: http://thedadedge.com/preview Dad Edge Business Boardroom (Mastermind): https://thedadedge.com/mastermind Dr. Ross Greene — Lives in the Balance (Free Resources): https://livesinthebalance.org Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1442   Closing Remark   If this episode challenged how you think about discipline, accountability, and leadership at home, don't just sit on it — put it into practice.

In this Daily Shift, Celeste explores the difference between forgiveness and access. Letting go of resentment doesn't mean reopening the door or restoring the relationship as it was. This episode is a reminder that forgiveness is internal, while reconnection is a choice. You can release the weight of hurt without re-entering the same pattern. Healing doesn't require proximity. Small shifts create big change.

Micah 6:6-8Daniel Newman, Guest Speaker

Let's talk about something deeply unsexy but incredibly important: pre-op clearance for cataract surgery. After watching a colleague get sent to their own primary care doctor for a seven-minute procedure under minimal sedation, I realized how far we've drifted from common sense. Cataract surgery is one of the safest, most routine operations in medicine, yet we're still funneling millions of patients into unpaid, unnecessary pre-op visits. In this episode, I break down how we got here, why ophthalmologists end up looking like the bad guys, and how liability culture, not patient safety, is driving a lot of these decisions. Then we pivot to something more personal and more complicated: chronic eye pain after LASIK, why it's so hard to treat, and why psychiatry might need to be part of the care team more often than we're comfortable admitting. Takeaways: Why requiring universal pre-op H&Ps for cataract surgery is more about shifting blame than reducing risk. How liability fear has quietly reshaped outpatient surgery policies and strained relationships with primary care. The uncomfortable truth: ophthalmologists are trained to assess surgical risk and shouldn't outsource it by default. Why chronic neuropathic eye pain after LASIK is rare, devastating, and incredibly hard to explain, especially when exams look normal. How reframing psychiatry as a collaborator, not a last resort, might help patients whose pain lives at the intersection of eye and brain.

What is consciousness — and how should biology explain it?In this second conversation with Professor Kevin Mitchell, we examine whether consciousness can be fully accounted for within physics alone — or whether biological organization introduces new levels of explanation.Mitchell develops a non-reductive naturalist framework in which organisms are genuine agents, higher-level causal structures matter, and subjectivity cannot be ignored in any adequate theory of mind.We explore:• What needs explaining when we talk about consciousness• The limits and strengths of physicalist reduction• Weak vs strong emergence• Biological organization as a causal framework• Downward causation and levels of explanation• Organisms as agents rather than passive mechanisms• The role of the conscious subject• Mental causation and explanatory gaps• Teleology in evolutionary systems• Whether artificial systems could instantiate subjectivityTIMESTAMPS:(0:00) – Introduction(0:32) – Kevin's Approach to Consciousness(1:12) – Consciousness and the Requirement of a Subject(3:59) – AI, Functionalism, & Biological Naturalism(7:37) – Embodiment, In-Mindedness & Experiential Bedrock(11:19) – Control Architectures, Attention, and Illusionism(15:21) – Selfhood Perspectives: Jennings, Graziano & Humphrey(19:08) – Temporal Continuity & Brains as Semantic Engines(23:03) – Top-Down Causation and Dynamical Self(27:00) – Levels of Selfhood & Autobiographical Continuity(30:43) – Neuroscience, Psychiatry & Emergent Mental Phenomena(38:15) – Altered Subjectivity & Embodiment in Injury(44:06) – Life, Consciousness, and AI Agents(50:23) – Philosophy, Science & Indeterminacy(56:28) – Neural Noise, Decision-Making & Agency(1:10:48) – Reasons, Choices & Moral Development(1:20:43) – Emergence, Transcendence & First-Person Neuroscience(1:26:50) – Kantian Structures & Perception(1:30:35) – Defining Mind & Relational Perspectives(1:34:52) – Final ThoughtsEPISODE LINKS:- Kevin's Round 1: https://youtu.be/UdlkYGbuD7Q- Kevin's Website: https://www.kjmitchell.com/- Kevin's Blog: http://www.wiringthebrain.com- Kevin's Books: https://tinyurl.com/2p9yjzxr- Kevin's Publications: https://tinyurl.com/mskdpvce- Kevin's Twitter: https://twitter.com/wiringthebrain- Consciousness needs a subject:https://philpapers.org/rec/MITCNA-2- Reframing the free will debate: the universe is not deterministic:https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11229-026-05455-7- Beyond Mechanism—Extending Our Concepts of Causation in Neuroscience:https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ejn.70064- Undetermined: Free will in real time and through time:https://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/articulo?codigo=10358095- The origins of meaning - from pragmatic control signals to semantic representations:https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/dfkrvCONNECT:- Website: https://mindbodysolution.org - YouTube: https://youtube.com/@mindbodysolution- Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/mindbodysolution- Twitter: https://twitter.com/drtevinnaidu- Facebook: https://facebook.com/drtevinnaidu - Instagram: https://instagram.com/drtevinnaidu- LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/drtevinnaidu- Website: https://tevinnaidu.com=============================Disclaimer: The information provided on this channel is for educational purposes only.

Hello, hello — and welcome back to Greedy Bitch, the podcast for groomers who are done apologizing for wanting more. I'm your host, River Lee — founder of The Savvy Groomer — and today's episode is perfectly timed for February. Because it's the month of love… and I want to talk about who you're actually in a relationship with in your business. Not your partner. Not your dog. Your clients. Because here's the thing no one tells groomers early enough: You can be booked solid. You can be making money. You can look “successful” from the outside. …and still quietly dread your day-to-day life. And most of the time, that doesn't come from grooming itself. It comes from the relationships you've built your business on. So today, we're talking about: Fling clients Ideal clients And soulmate clients And how falling in love with your clients doesn't mean being softer, nicer, or more accommodating. It means building a business that actually loves you back. Let's talk about fling clients. And before anyone feels called out, I want to be very clear: Most groomers did not choose fling clients on purpose. We were taught to accept them. Early in our careers, the message was: Say yes. Take what you can get. Be grateful for every client. And in the beginning, that makes sense. You're building. You're learning. You're trying to survive. But somewhere along the way, temporary clients became the foundation of permanent businesses. And that's where things start to hurt. Fling clients are the clients who: Book once and disappear Only show up when they're desperate Don't read your policies Don't remember your boundaries And don't feel invested in you They're not bad people. They're just not committed. Here are a few grooming-specific examples — and I want you to notice how your body reacts as I say them. The once-a-year doodle. They promise they'll be on a schedule… but you don't hear from them again until the dog is matted and they're panicking. The “can you squeeze me in?” client. Not because of an emergency — but because they waited too long and now it's suddenly your problem. The client who disappears the moment you enforce a boundary. You correct pickup time. You enforce a matting policy. You raise prices. And suddenly? Gone. These are fling clients. And here's the part most groomers don't realize until they're exhausted: Fling clients are expensive. Financially, they: Create gaps in your schedule Require re-education every visit Take more time than they're priced for Emotionally, they: Keep you on edge Create resentment Require constant mental energy Operationally, they: Create chaos Make staffing harder Make income unpredictable And the sneakiest part? You start reshaping your business around them. You loosen policies. You over-explain. You hesitate to raise prices. You make exceptions “just this once.” That's not love. That's survival mode. Fling clients are not the problem — expecting commitment from them is. Now let's talk about ideal clients. These are the clients most groomers think they want. They show up. They pay. They're polite. They mostly follow the rules. They're… fine. Ideal clients feel safe. They don't cause drama. They don't stress you out the way fling clients do. But here's the truth that doesn't get said enough: Ideal clients often represent a comfort ceiling. They keep your business running — but not necessarily growing. You still remind them. You still explain policies. You still manage expectations. Let's compare this for a moment. An ideal client: Asks questions about price Occasionally forgets policies Needs reminders Refers people similar to them A soulmate client: Accepts pricing without debate Respects systems Follows policies automatically Refers people who already trust you Ideal clients keep you busy. Soulmate clients make things easier. This is why so many grooming businesses plateau. They're not failing. They're not doing anything wrong. They've just built a business around “good enough.” And if you've ever thought: “I should be happier than I am with this…” That's usually why. Let's clear something up right now. Soulmate clients do not magically find you because you're nice, talented, or have good vibes. That idea keeps groomers waiting instead of building. Soulmate clients are created through systems. Clear messaging. Strong onboarding. Consistent policies. And follow-through. Soulmate clients don't require convincing. They trust your expertise. They understand how your business works. Every boundary you hold does two things: It repels a fling client… and signals safety to a soulmate client. People who value professionalism are attracted to structure. People who want exceptions are repelled by it. That's not a flaw. That's a filter. Soulmate clients: Respect your time Trust your recommendations Follow your systems Refer people just like them And here's the part I really want you to hear: You don't need more clients. You need better-aligned ones. When groomers shift toward soulmate clients, we see: Smaller schedules Higher income Better retention Less burnout More predictability Business stops feeling chaotic and starts feeling calm. And that's not luck. That's alignment. If you're listening and thinking, “Why does this feel so hard for me?” Here's the truth: No one taught us this. Most groomers were trained in: Safety. Technique. Breed patterns. Not client alignment. Not onboarding. Not de-alignment. So when things feel messy, we internalize it. We think: “I'm bad with people.” “I hate clients.” “This is just how grooming is.” No. You're not bad at clients. You're under-supported. Client alignment is a business skill, not a personality trait. And skills can be learned. Practiced. Refined. When you stop blaming yourself and start building systems, everything changes. If this episode hit close to home, that discomfort isn't failure. It's awareness. Most groomers didn't intentionally build businesses that drain them. It happened slowly. Quietly. One “yes” at a time. And once you see the difference between fling clients, ideal clients, and soulmate clients — you can't unsee it. Falling in love with your clients doesn't mean overgiving. It means alignment. Clarity. Respect. And that doesn't happen by accident. That's why I created the Business Workshop Library. Inside, you'll find on-demand workshops like: Identifying & Attracting Your Soulmate Clients Onboarding Clients & Dealing With Difficult Clients Once-A-Year Clients and whether they belong in your business at all ✨ It's $200 for the year ✨ Or $50 a month You can watch at your own pace, revisit when needed, and apply what you learn to your real business. And if you're looking for ongoing support instead of one-off fixes, that's exactly what the Savvy Groomer Circle is for. Inside the Circle, you get continued education, monthly Q&As, real-time conversations, and support as you actively implement boundaries, policies, and systems in your business — not just think about them. And for those of you who want deeper access and closer support, the Inner Circle gives you just that — including direct access to me so you're never figuring this out alone. You can learn more and join at savvygroomer.com/membership If you're ready to stop building your business around flings and start intentionally creating alignment, you'll find the Business Workshop Library at savvygroomer.com/gwg As always — stay savvy, stay greedy, and never apologize for wanting more.

Questions about the claim that if Christians really want to be open-minded, they need to read and study other religions before committing to Christianity, and with so many paths claiming to be the sole path, what is to be said about those who choose incorrectly?   How would you respond to someone who says, “If Christians really want to be open-minded, they need to read and study other religions before committing to Christianity”? With so many paths claiming to be the sole path, what is to be said about those who choose incorrectly?

We live in a world that is inundated with the concept of success — how to achieve it, how to maintain it. We idolise those who are successful and often try to emulate them. So much of our waking thoughts revolve around this idea of succeeding, regardless of what stage of life we're living in. But what does success actually look like in the Kingdom of God, and is success really what God calls us to? Tune in to get our takes.

There's no way around it — results require discomfort. Fat loss, muscle gain, conditioning, and discipline all come from doing what's uncomfortable consistently. In this episode, I break down why avoiding discomfort keeps people stuck and why embracing it is the only path to real fitness results.

1. SAVE America Act (Election Law & Voter ID) Core Argument The SAVE America Act would: Require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote Require photo ID to vote Democrats are portrayed as unanimously opposed, preventing passage due to the Senate’s 60‑vote threshold. Strategic Claim Cruz argues Republicans should: Force a “real” filibuster (continuous floor speeches) Make Democratic opposition politically and physically costly He frames Democratic resistance as intentional rather than procedural. Public Opinion Framing Polling is cited (CNN, Pew) to claim: Broad bipartisan and multiracial support for voter ID Democratic leadership (especially Chuck Schumer) is accused of ignoring their own voters. 2. Voter Fraud & Ballot Harvesting Claims Presented Ballot harvesting is described as: A system that enables fraud, especially among elderly or vulnerable populations Democrats are accused of: Supporting policies that increase fraud opportunities Reversing recommendations from the Carter–Baker Commission There is justification for: Photo ID laws Restrictions on mail-in voting Limits on third-party ballot collection 3.

In this episode of The Good Life EDU Podcast, Andrew Easton is joined by Tony Frontier, author of AI With Intention and director of the AI Center for Effective Teaching and Learning. Rather than approaching artificial intelligence as a technical problem to solve, this conversation grounds AI in what educators already know to be true about effective teaching and learning. Tony shares why AI represents an inflection point for the profession—and why this moment demands greater intentionality, not abandonment of core instructional practices. Together, Andrew and Tony explore how AI can either undermine or strengthen learning depending on how it's used, the importance of productive struggle, and what it means to prepare students to use AI as a thinking partner rather than a shortcut. The episode also digs into practical guidance for schools and districts around transparency, explainability, integrity, and creating shared expectations for both teachers and students.

Relationships Don't Require Work—They Require Self-Responsibility When each person owns their triggers and emotions, the relationship stabilizes and deepens naturally.2. Standards vs. Conditions Shape Relationship Health Conditions come from preferences, while standards define the non-negotiables that create safety and trust.3.
