What is the Fed, and why does Jerome Powell seem to have Wall Street on speed dial? This week, we unpack the power and purpose of the Federal Reserve—who runs it, who appoints them, and how their decisions ripple through everything from Treasury bonds to your credit card APR. We break down the rates the Fed actually controls (spoiler: it's not all of them) and why those moves matter. Plus, if the Fed is supposed to be independent, why does it feel like politics—especially Trump's calls for lower rates—are always lurking in the background?Next, we ask, “Is the upper middle class having an identity crisis?” We dig into the surprising squeeze on America's “comfortably wealthy.” From overcrowded Amex lounges to bidding wars for average homes, we explore how rising wealth—especially among the top 10%—is making luxury feel less exclusive. We explore what it means for expectations around lifestyle and status, and how the wealth ladder is getting more crowded at the top.In Part 1 of our series on the evolution of payments, we dive into the rise of credit cards and how they reshaped the way we spend. We explore the move toward a cashless society—fueled by digital wallets and tap-to-pay tech—but also spotlight the pushback: small businesses are passing credit card fees onto customers, and even some places going cash-only. So where are we really headed? Is cash dying, or just evolving?Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J.

What if the average UK tech worker could reclaim almost an entire workday each week without extra hours simply by harnessing AI tools like ChatGPT and robotic process automation more effectively? In this episode, I sit down with Oliver Latham from Pearson's Enterprise Learning and Skills division, to unpack research revealing how intelligent automation frees tech professionals from repetitive tasks and opens space for creative strategic collaboration. Instead of fuelling fears of mass job losses, the data reveals a more optimistic human‑centred view of how AI will reshape roles, reshuffling responsibilities rather than replacing people. Oliver and I discuss which tasks are most ripe for automation, for example code refactoring to backup procedures, and how that shift could alleviate the UK's tech skills shortage by letting workers focus on high impact projects. We weigh potential challenges too and note that organisations will need to rethink job design, invest in upskilling power skills such as communication and learning agility and build a culture of continuous development. As we look ahead we explore how large language models and robotic process automation differ in their impact across roles, why learning cultures must evolve to deliver micro learning at the point of need alongside robust credentials and how teams can reorganise around a new division of labour that includes both human and AI agents. Oliver offers practical advice for tech leaders wondering where to start and how to maintain agility as change accelerates. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by AI hype or are curious how automation could give you back precious hours each week, this conversation offers fresh perspectives on AI's real value in tech. How would you redesign your job if you had an extra day each week, what would you stop doing and what would you start?

As it turns out, aging isn't just about wrinkles and gray hair. It's about your immune system silently giving out years in advance. If you're dealing with chronic stress, sleep issues, inflammation, hormone shifts, or just feel like your body is aging faster than it should, there's a test that might explain exactly why—and how to turn it around. I sat down with Nikolina Lauc, CEO of GlycanAge, to unpack the science of glycans—those powerful, complex sugars that serve as early warning signals for disease and inflammation, even a decade before symptoms show up. Nikolina shares how glycans can predict things like hypertension and rheumatoid arthritis years before they happen, how menopause accelerates aging by 10+ years, why stress adds 15 years to your biological clock, and how hormone replacement, moderate exercise, and even switching from HIIT to yoga can roll your biological age backward. This is the kind of info that gives you back control of your health.   “We can predict hypertension six years ahead of time with 98% accuracy. We can predict rheumatoid arthritis 10 years ahead of time with 92% accuracy.” ~ Nikolina Lauc   In This Episode: - Backstory: What are glycans, and why should you measure them? - Research and predictive power of GlycanAge - What to expect from a GlycanAge test - Top factors that improve your biological age - The effects of stress on your biological clock - Exercise and its effects on aging - Key aging differences between men and women - Things to do if your biological age is high - How to get the GlycanAge test   Products & Resources Mentioned: GlycanAge Biological Age Test: You can get it from https://glycanage.com  Puori PW1 Protein: Get 20% off with code WENDY at https://puori.com/wendy  Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil: Try a full-size $39 bottle for just $1 to cover shipping at https://getfreshwendy.com  Heavy Metals Quiz: Start at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Nikolina Lauc Nikolina Lauc is the co-founder and CEO of GlycanAge and has helped pioneer a revolutionary way to measure biological aging through glycans—complex carbohydrates that change with immune system wear and tear. Her father, a renowned glyco-biologist and the second most published scientist in the field, developed one of the first biomarkers of molecular aging. GlycanAge has since analyzed over 200,000 samples—more than 85% of all human glycan data globally. Nikolina is on a mission to make early detection and personalized prevention mainstream.

In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis and Michael Rowntree interview Dr. Tom Wadsworth to explore a controversial question: Is our modern understanding of “worship” truly biblical? Dr. Wadsworth, a New Testament scholar, argues that what we call “worship services” today is drastically different from the gatherings of the first-century church. Instead of a primarily vertical act of offering praise to God, he proposes that early Christian assemblies focused on mutual edification – building up one another through teaching, encouragement, and the practical application of the “one anothering” commands found throughout the New Testament. Dr. Wadsworth traces the history of our modern “worship” concept, exploring its roots in the second century and onward, highlighting the influence of Roman Catholic traditions and the evolving understanding of the Lord's Supper. He also unpacks the crucial distinction between preaching (proclamation to outsiders) and teaching (discipleship within the community), and challenges the assumption that the early church was simply a new version of the Old Testament temple. 0:00 Introduction7:26 Origin of Worship Language12:54 Exploring Vertical Lines of Worship in Scripture18:50 Are We Over-examining the Differences?26:38 Redefining Worship33:06 What Did a New Testament Church Look Like?37:02 A Matter of Purpose?44:16 Teaching50:44 Modern Discipleship Practices53:58 Closing ThoughtsABOUT THE GUEST:Dr. Wadsworth is a New Testament scholar with a PhD from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. @tomwadsworth

What happens when a $2 trillion cryptocurrency market suddenly requires monthly audits? Blake and David break down the Genius Act, the new federal stablecoin legislation that just created a massive opportunity for auditors—but also potentially recreated the chaotic "wildcat banking" era of the 1800s. You'll learn why every stablecoin issuer now needs monthly attestation reports and annual audits, creating hundreds of new recurring revenue streams for accounting firms willing to take on the risk. Plus, they explore whether there are enough auditors to actually make this system work, and what happens if quantum computing breaks cryptocurrency security. The episode also covers PCAOB leadership changes under the new administration, live-tests AI agents trying to enter invoices (spoiler: it's messier than the hype suggests), and updates on the 23 states now offering alternative CPA pathways.SponsorsMissive - http://accountingpodcast.promo/missiveRelay - http://accountingpodcast.promo/relayCloud Accountant Staffing - http://accountingpodcast.promo/casChapters(01:17) - AI in Accounting: Browser Integration (02:35) - Major News: The Genius Act and Its Implications (03:38) - Sponsor Shoutouts and Livestream Interaction (05:06) - Audit News: Erica Williams and PCAOB Changes (08:27) - Federal Audit Failures and OMB's Strategic Reset (09:48) - AICPA's New Fraud Detection Standards (12:52) - Sponsor Highlight: Missive (15:38) - Fraud Case Study: Christine Hunsicker's $300M Scam (20:08) - Deep Dive: The Genius Act and Stablecoins (41:21) - The Risk of Stablecoins and Financial Contagion (42:07) - Quantum Computing Threat to Bitcoin (42:38) - The Challenge of Upgrading Cryptocurrency Systems (43:22) - Summary and Predictions for Accounting Firms (43:38) - Fraud in the Traditional Banking System (44:08) - Relay: The Small Business Banking Solution (45:43) - Pig Butchering: A Growing Fraud Problem (48:05) - The Case for a Federal Stablecoin (50:26) - Alternative Pathways for CPA Licensure (52:02) - Decline in CPA Licenses and Modernizing Education (54:59) - Cloud Accountant Staffing: Solving the Labor Shortage (56:01) - Agentic AI: The Future of Automation (59:13) - Challenges and Potential of AI in Accounting (01:02:31) - The Role of AI in Data Entry and Research (01:17:53) - Conclusion and Final Thoughts  Show NotesTrump signs landmark GENIUS Act, hailing "exciting new frontier" for crypto - CBS News https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-signs-genius-act-crypto-bill/Fact Sheet: President Donald J.

The underlying causes of health disparities are many, and sometimes healthcare providers can exacerbate disparities with how they operate. Health equity researchers have conducted "secret shopper" studies, revealing how healthcare providers limit appointments — and even treatment recommendations — to people with certain types of insurance. “Patients with Medicaid were significantly less likely to be offered appointments compared to those with Medicare or private insurance, and in many cases, clinics told us they weren't accepting any new Medicaid patients or that they didn't take Medicaid at all,” says Dr. Daniel Wiznia, Associate Professor of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation at Yale and a former member of Movement Is Life's Steering Committee. “But when we would call back with private insurance, suddenly they have plenty of appointments available for the private insurance patients,” he says. Wiznia and his colleagues also found that even when Medicaid patients were offered appointments, wait times were often much longer — delays which can have serious consequences.  “So if a Medicaid patient has to wait six weeks or eight weeks for an appointment, while a private patient just waits maybe a week, that can really impact outcomes, especially for patients with chronic conditions or urgent needs,” he says. Wiznia joined Movement Is Life's Dr. Mary O'Connor to discuss these findings in detail. He offers advice to patients who may find themselves in a situation where they're denied care due to their insurance status and explains how raising reimbursement rates for Medicaid could help address the problem.

Writers pour their hearts into their work, but unfortunately, that passion can make them prime targets for scams. From fake agents and vanity publishers to slick marketing schemes and social media impersonators, the tactics have only gotten more sophisticated over time. In this episode, we dig into the murky world of publishing scams and how they work and who they target. Along with why even experienced authors can get caught off guard. Today's guest is Victoria Strauss. Victoria is the author of nine fantasy and historical novels for adults and teens, and she's also the co-founder of Writer Beware, a watchdog group sponsored by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association. Drawing from decades of experience, Victoria shares red flags to watch out for, practical steps authors can take to protect themselves, and eye-opening stories of deception that highlight just how easy it is to get pulled in. This conversation is about awareness and empowerment. Whether you're just getting started or you're a seasoned author, you'll learn how to do your due diligence, where to turn for trustworthy resources, and how to avoid becoming an easy target in a complex industry. With tools like Writer Beware, Victoria equips authors to stay vigilant, protect their creative work, and steer clear of costly traps. Show Notes: [01:00] Victoria shares her background including publishing nine novels. She's a member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association, which is the sponsor of Writer Beware. [01:49] Writer Beware was formed with Victoria and a colleague when they became interested in writer scams. [03:36] When it first began, the most common scams for fee-charging literary agents and scam editing referrals. [04:25] Most current scams are digital and focus on self-publishers. [05:11] We learn what a vanity publisher is. [06:22] How self-publishers do everything a writer does and everything a publisher does. [10:34] One marker for a scam can be solicitation and out-of-the-blue emails. [12:42] A lot of people offer services like cover design when they don't really have the experience or expertise. Research anyone you're going to hire and their experience. [15:50] Look for what to cover in a contract, such as keeping your copyright. Watch out for scam registration services. [17:36] A DM scam where the scammer impersonates a writer and offers a marketing service recommendation. [22:21] Be aware and understand what the risks are and what to look for. [23:52] Evaluating opportunities.  [26:16] Use a credit card and report any problems.  [27:51] The newest scams are usually on social media. [28:40]  A crazy story about a literary agent who is charging upfront fees and even accepted fees for a conference and then faked her own death. [30:39] A cautionary tale of how a publishing marketing company from the Philippines scammed authors out of millions of dollars. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

In this case, the court considered this issue: Did Congress violate the Constitution in the way it delegated power to the FCC to collect Universal Service Fund money, and did the FCC violate the Constitution by letting a private, industry-controlled company make those collection decisions?The case was decided on June 27, 2025.The Supreme Court held that the statutory scheme that allows the FCC to collect “sufficient” contributions to fund universal-service programs does not violate the nondelegation doctrine. Justice Elena Kagan authored the 6-3 majority opinion of the Court.The Communications Act directs the FCC to collect contributions that are “sufficient” to support universal-service programs, which sets both a floor and a ceiling on the agency's authority. The FCC cannot raise less than what is adequate to finance the programs, but also cannot raise more than that amount. Congress provided adequate guidance by specifying whom the programs must serve (rural and high-cost areas, low-income consumers, schools, and libraries) and defining which services qualify for subsidies. To receive funding, services must be subscribed to by a substantial majority of residential customers, be available at affordable rates, and be essential to education, public health, or safety. These conditions create determinate standards that meaningfully constrain the FCC's discretion.The FCC's use of the Universal Service Administrative Company to help calculate contribution amounts also passes constitutional muster. The Administrator operates subordinately to the Commission, which appoints its Board of Directors, approves its budget, and retains final decision-making authority. While the Administrator produces initial projections of carrier revenues and Fund expenses, the Commission reviews, revises if needed, and approves these figures before setting the contribution factor. The arrangement mirrors the permissible structure approved in Sunshine Anthracite Coal Co. v. Adkins, where private parties could make recommendations to a government agency that retained ultimate authority.Justice Brett Kavanaugh authored a concurring opinion, agreeing with the outcome but emphasizing concerns about delegations to independent agencies.Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson authored a concurring opinion, expressing skepticism about the viability of the private nondelegation doctrine as an independent constitutional principle.Justice Neil Gorsuch authored a dissenting opinion, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, arguing that Section 254 impermissibly delegates Congress's taxing power by failing to set a tax rate or meaningful cap on collections.The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted.

As global crises and US domestic reckonings intensify, the New York Community Commission on Reparations Remedies met this week at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, drawing attention to the urgent need to reimagine repair—not merely as restitution, but as a process of decolonization and rehumanization in a fractured United States and world. Reparations is not simply (or even primarily) about monetary compensation, but about dismantling systems of harm and colonization that still define the American state and the world system out of which it emerged and which it anchors.Literal and figurative disasters persist around the globe. Forces in the US intensify the ongoing Cold Civil War—fractured by ideological extremism, geopolitical escalations like Israel's bombing of Iran and China's projection of its Navy Aircraft Carriers into the Pacific, and performative nationalism seen in spectacles like the Trump Army Parade in Washington, DC, among others. But resistance rises. Federal District Court Judge Charles Breyer's ruling against the federalization of the California National Guard by the Trump Administration and thousands of “No More Kings” rallies across the country present formal and organic resistance in a darkening US political landscape. The 100th anniversary of the Schomburg Center gives us a moments to reinforce the fact that we must search our collective memory in order to strengthen our vision of a different country and make better decisions for how to engage politically.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode Summary: The Invisible Weight of Emotional Exhaustion and BurnoutIn this week's episode, Dr. Ali Novitsky explores the profound impact of emotional exhaustion on both mental and physical health. Emotional stress, often overlooked, can lead to elevated cortisol levels, inflammation, and hindered weight loss. Despite these effects, many hesitate to take time off for emotional well-being.Emotional Stress & Physical HealthDr. Novitsky details how emotional stress triggers physiological changes—such as fluid retention and inflammation—that directly affect health outcomes. Elevated cortisol from stress is particularly impactful on metabolism and weight regulation.Research on Emotional Stress ResponsesDr. Novitsky introduces her current research involving 150 women in the Transform program. The study categorizes emotional stress types and applies targeted interventions to help participants better manage their emotional responses and reduce burnout.The High Achiever TrapHigh achievers often overextend themselves by prioritizing others. Dr. Novitsky shares personal stories of being caught in this cycle—over-delivering and sacrificing mental health. She emphasizes the critical need for boundaries to avoid emotional inflammation and burnout.Boundaries as Emotional ProtectionSetting boundaries is essential for mental health. Dr. Novitsky explains how saying “no,” even when it's difficult, can protect emotional space and prevent burnout. She encourages listeners to assess where they need to draw lines—with others and themselves.Mental & Emotional InflammationFast-paced thinking and chronic stress often result in what Dr. Novitsky calls “mental inflammation.” She discusses how emotions drive thoughts, leading to restlessness and burnout. Creating mental boundaries helps slow this cycle.Practical StrategiesListeners are urged to take an “inventory” of their emotional health and boundaries. Tools include:Identifying areas of emotional floodingSetting personal boundariesReducing commitments that cause strainRecognizing when the dopamine hit of “yes” becomes harmfulPrograms & ResourcesDr. Novitsky highlights several FIT Collective offerings:Transform Program (72 CME credits, enrolling January)CME Nutrition Training ProgramGenetics CohortBeginner Strength and Total Fitness programsMore information is available at thefitcollective.com.Closing MessageDr. Novitsky looks forward to sharing upcoming workshop data on emotional stress types and encourages listeners to prioritize emotional self-care. Protecting your space, she says, is not selfish—it's essential.

Addressing Key Industry Challenges through Technology: The episode will touch upon how logistics technology (LogTech) can positively impact labor, talent development, and sustainability. Bart's work aims to integrate emerging technologies into supply chain organizations, processes, and people to create more efficient, inclusive, and equitable supply chains. Data Quality is Paramount for AI Success: Bart stresses that while data is the "unsung hero" in supply chain resilience and decision-making, the quality of that data is crucial. Bad or irrelevant data can be a "bad actor," highlighting the need for high-quality, real-time, and predictive insights to get ahead of disruptions. Building Resilient and Agile Supply Chains: Given Bart's expertise and the current landscape, the discussion will likely emphasize the need for supply chains to be agile and resilient in the face of geopolitical factors, trade disputes, and market uncertainties. Technology, including AI, plays a vital role in enhancing visibility, optimizing logistics, and improving decision-making in turbulent times. Investing in Talent Development alongside Technology: Bart believes that talent is a significant constraint in supply chains. The podcast will likely highlight the importance of not only embracing technology but also investing in talent development and fostering a culture of collaboration to fully leverage the transformative potential of AI and other innovations.

Listen to Macro MarketsInvesting involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. In general, the value of a fixed-income security falls when interest rates rise and rises when interest rates fall. Longer term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes and subject to greater volatility than those with shorter maturities. High yield and unrated debt securities are at a greater risk of default than investment grade bonds and may be less liquid, which may increase volatility. Private debt investments are generally considered illiquid and not quoted on any exchange; thus they are difficult to value. The process of valuing investments for which reliable market quotations are not available is based on inherent uncertainties and may not be accurate. Further, the level of discretion used by an investment manager to value private debt securities could lead to conflicts of interest.This material is distributed for informational or educational purposes only and should not be considered a recommendation of any particular security, strategy, or investment product, or as investing advice of any kind.

Has children's play become too safe? Research suggests that efforts to prioritize safety harms children's mental and physical development during play and contribute to anxiety. One solution: introduce risk into play. We visit an adventure playground where kids play unsupervised with anything from scraps of metal to hammers and nails. Plus, what are the evolutionary benefits of play? After all, we're not the only species who like to roughhouse, sled, or chase balls. And, reclaiming play for those who have outgrown recess.

In this episode, Jeff and Becky speak with Dr. Steve Pernal, research scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, about his team's recent work monitoring Varroa destructor populations and treatment efficacy across Canada. As varroa continues to be the leading driver of colony mortality, Steve and his colleagues are collecting long-term data on mite levels, reinfestation rates, and treatment performance across a wide range of beekeeping operations. Steve shares insights from national monitoring efforts, including surprising findings on how quickly mites can rebound after treatment and the complexities of interpreting mite counts in commercial yards. The conversation covers regional differences in resistance development, what's known (and unknown) about reinfestation, and why simply applying treatments may no longer be enough to manage mites sustainably. This episode offers a grounded, research-informed look at varroa management—what's working, where the gaps are, and what Canadian researchers are doing to equip beekeepers with better tools and knowledge. Whether you run a few hives or a thousand, you'll walk away with fresh insights on what to watch for in your own operation.

How would you encourage sustainable behaviour?  You might assume logical messages work best.  Stuff like “the average three-hour flight creates ~250–400 kg of CO₂”.  But today's guest on Nudge has tested logical messages.  And they don't work.  Today on Nudge, Toby Park from the Behavioural Insights Team explains how renaming a meat-free dish doubled its sales. Why targeting home-movers made Americans 400% more likely to cycle. How social norms can increase sales by 20%. And the reframing led the majority of Brits to choose energy-efficient fridges.  ---  Watch the bonus episode: https://nudge.kit.com/27720ca0ad Connect with Toby on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/toby-park-67773279/  Read Toby's Net Zero Report: https://shorturl.at/Wy8RP How to Build a Net Zero Society: https://shorturl.at/0PcRk Sign up for my newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew-22213187/  Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/  --- Sources:  Das, G., Spence, M.

People with disabilities —especially women of color —face unique, often invisible, barriers when it comes to accessing breast health care. From physically inaccessible mammography machines to bias and misinformation among providers, the breast cancer experience can look vastly different for women with disabilities. In this powerful conversation, disability advocate Monique Stamps opens up about the systemic inequities faced by people with disabilities in the health care system. Drawing from her own lived experience and professional advocacy, Monique explores how we must move beyond compliance — beyond ramps and accessible doors — to build a truly inclusive breast health system that serves everybody.

In episode 216, Dan and Michael chat with Lightning Jay and Abby Reisman about their article published in Theory & Research in Social Education, “The social studies discourse instrument: Validating an observation tool for classroom discussions.”

For years, I've watched women, especially moms, ignore their own needs in ways that go beyond putting family first. There's this magical thinking around wardrobe - "I just won't plan to spend anything for clothes" - but that could be considered avoiding responsibility for self-care. Research from Harvard shows that making daily choices actually extends longevity. When elderly nursing home residents were given simple decisions to make, they lived longer than those who had everything decided for them. Getting dressed gives you dozens of opportunities every day to exercise choice and practice self-care. In this episode, I share how my five levels of style psychology are actually progressive forms of self-care, from basic body protection to authentic self-expression. Plus, I explain the psychology behind why avoiding style choices creates a negative cycle - and how small, conscious clothing decisions can help you reconnect with caring for yourself. Most moms think getting dressed is just another chore to get through, but actually it's one of the most accessible forms of daily self-care. Download the Guide to Design Psychology.

In this episode, Dr. Jill is joined by Dr. Chris D'Adamo, a leading researcher in integrative health and nutritional immunology, to discuss the critical role of beta glucans in supporting and modulating the immune system.

Burnout has reached epidemic proportions among professional women. The numbers tell a sobering story: 43% of women leaders report feeling burned out compared to just 31% of men at the same level. What's driving this disparity? Our powerful conversation with the VEST Team reveals two key culprits: perfectionism and people-pleasing.Research from the University of British Columbia shows that perfectionism is strongly linked to anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Multiple studies also show women are more likely to engage in people-pleasing behaviors at work, often out of fear of being seen as difficult or unlikable. Join us as we dive into the science behind these patterns, exploring how perfectionism correlates with anxiety and depression, while people-pleasing gradually erodes our boundaries until we're running on empty. The most illuminating moments come when our team shares their personal struggles with these tendencies, from the pressure to be "supermoms" and "super workers" to the fear of what might happen if they stop doing so much.We discuss what rest actually looks like in different seasons of life. For those with young children, it might be just an hour to choose what you do yourself rather than responding to others' needs. We share simple but powerful strategies: replacing "should" with "could," taking a pause before automatically saying yes, time-blocking to ensure dedicated rest periods, and perhaps most importantly, getting comfortable asking for help.We also talked about how perfectionism and growth cannot coexist. When we demand perfection from ourselves, we create an environment where learning and authentic connection become impossible. By reframing rest not as a luxury but as an essential professional skill, we open the door to greater creativity, better decision-making, and sustainable success.Whether you're a chronic people-pleaser, a perfectionist, or simply feeling the weight of trying to do it all, this episode offers both validation and practical tools to break these patterns. Join our conversation and discover how establishing healthier boundaries can transform not just how you feel, but how effectively you lead.

In today's episode, we dive into the juicy topic of being a "bad boss" to ourselves as entrepreneurs. Isn't it funny how some of the very behaviors that made us decide to stop working for a bad boss, are often some of the same behaviors we do to ourselves. Things like overworking, neglecting self-care, not setting boundaries, working unreasonable hours, and more. Together, we explore how these bad boss behaviors can lead to burnout and resentment, So, if you're ready to stop being a bad boss to yourself and start thriving in your entrepreneurial journey, this episode is packed with insights and encouragement just for you!

Story at-a-glance Foam rollers are cylindrical devices that apply pressure to muscles, helping relieve tightness and inflammation while improving flexibility and range of motion Research shows foam-rolling significantly boosts flexibility immediately after use, but provides minimal improvements in athletic performance like jumping, sprinting, or strength training Foam-rolling is theorized to work through three mechanisms — loosening fascia around muscles, improving blood circulation and temperature, and activating nerve receptors that reduce pain perception Studies demonstrate foam-rolling enhances pre-workout preparation by improving ankle mobility and single-leg balance, making it effective for warming up before exercise as well Four basic foam roller exercises target major muscle groups — hamstrings, back, calves, and quads, each performed for approximately 30 seconds per area

Randall Carlson is known for his interdisciplinary work as a geomythologist, architectural designer, and researcher into the connections between ancient mysteries and modern science. He is particularly recognized for his exploration of sacred geometry, catastrophism, and the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis. He is also known for his work on ancient civilizations, climate change, and the potential for cosmic impacts to have shaped Earth's history. Here's a more detailed breakdown:Geomythology and Catastrophism:Carlson is known for his work integrating geological and mythological evidence to suggest that Earth's history has been punctuated by large-scale, sudden catastrophic events, rather than solely gradual change. He is a proponent of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, which proposes that a comet or asteroid impact during the Younger Dryas period (roughly 12,800 years ago) caused significant environmental changes. Sacred Geometry and Ancient Mysteries:Carlson explores the patterns and proportions found in sacred geometry and their potential connections to ancient civilizations and their architecture. He believes that these patterns hold clues to understanding the universe and the nature of reality. Research and Public Outreach:Carlson has organized numerous expeditions to document evidence of past catastrophic events and has presented his findings through lectures, classes, and multimedia programs. He has also been featured in documentaries, podcasts, and books, including Graham Hancock's "Magicians of the Gods". He is also a co-host of the Kosmographia podcast. Architectural Design:Carlson is a master builder and architectural designer, and he applies his understanding of sacred geometry to his design work. He is also a Freemason, which he says informs his understanding of ancient symbolism and architecture. Focus on Cycles and Patterns:A core theme in Carlson's work is the idea that Earth and its civilizations are subject to cycles and patterns of change, influenced by cosmic events and other factors. https://randallcarlson.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

In the midst of the television coverage of Soccer Aid, a celebrity soccer match organised by Unicef, the audience was told that “one in six children around the world are currently living through war”. Listener Isla got in touch with More or Less to ask whether the claim was correct, so we tracked down the source to an organisation called the Peace Research Institute Oslo.Research director Siri Aas Rustad tells us how they worked out a figure for the number of children living near to a “conflict” and the big differences between that and something most people would think of as “war”.If you've seen a number you think we should look at, email the team on moreorless@bbc.co.ukPresenter: Lizzy McNeill Producer: Nicholas Barrett Series producer: Tom Colls Production co-ordinator: Brenda Brown Sound mix: Giles Aspen Editor: Richard Vadon
