Where did the modern idea of Santa Claus come from? Was he derived from a Greek god or a Christian bishop? Did St. Nick punch Arius in the face at the Council of Nicea? Should you teach your children that Santa Claus is real and what alternative options exist? If Santa is based on a historical figure-gone-myth, is the same true of Jesus of Nazareth?

Spontaneous human combustion refers to the death from a fire that originates without an external source of ignition and people believe that the fire starts inside the victim's body.

A few weeks ago we started a series of podcast episodes dedicated to debunking popular misconceptions around investing. In today's episode, we're continuing that discussion by covering another investment myth: that it's too dangerous to invest new money at market highs. Buying low and selling is an obvious objective for any investor, but avoiding the markets simply because they're breaking new highs is a common mistake for many. Throughout the episode, Grant dives into why this concept is a myth and data from a few studies conducted by reputed organizations that show the potential dangers of the delay in waiting till the markets fall. [04:56] Historical Data – We often use historical data to assist our investment decisions. While it is a good starting place, it comes with a lot of shortcomings. Grant reviews why we need to look beyond historical data to make savvy investment decisions. [06:33] Study on S&P 500 Returns – Grant dives deep into a study that analyses the returns of the S&P 500 companies right before the dot com bubble crashed and after the market crash. [11:13] Investing on Random Days vs. All-time Highs – Last year, the investment firm JP Morgan conducted a study to compare the returns of investing on any random day versus selectively investing only on the days when the markets reach certain points. Grant dives into the findings of this study and how they relate to the misconception. [16:20] Risks – The risks associated with investing in financial markets and some of the methods we can use to mitigate the risks and the limitations. [18:31] Looking at a Wider Dataset – Grant reviews a chart from Dimensional Fund Advisors, which uses a wider data set, a total market index, and a longer time period than the previous studies. He shares his thought on why this chart contradicts the other two studies and what investors can learn from it. [21:23] Dividends and Distributions – How dividends and distributions can reduce the impact of a market crash and significantly increase your returns if the markets do not crash. [24:37] Dollar Cost Averaging – How dollar-cost averaging helps us reduce risks associated with investments.

Some experts say communicating online before meeting IRL (that's In Real Life) can actually foster strong relationships by helping those with similar interests come together over great distances. Potential lovers overlook superficial turnoffs, and people open up to each other faster and more deeply.

Welcome to this episode of Profit by Design, a Tap the Potential production in collaboration with Small Business Consulting Group! Today’s subject is a rather juicy one: personal diet and how it can translate into our business life. As someone who has long-struggled with eating healthy and setting time aside for exercise, Mike shares how he has come to understand that a healthy lifestyle is more of a mindset than anything, and how fit people have at least one quality in common: resilience. What he has discovered is that even fit people fall off the health wagon on occasion, but they shake it off and get right back on without using the slip as an excuse to stay in an unhealthy mentality. Join Dr. Sabrina and Mike as they share their personal experiences, and Dr. Sabrina lends professional insight into the correlation between personal and business. Our habits make or break us. Dr. Sabrina teaches how “all or none” thinking sabotages us, as well as how putting Veggies First is critical to our own health and the health of our business. It’s all about consistency. Strive for consistency over perfection. Prepare for a few of your own ‘A-ha!’ moments as you listen in! Show Highlights: Mike draws parallels to how conflict with leading a healthy lifestyle can be similar to how conflict shows up in our business life. Dr. Sabrina illustrates how building good habits apply to both our personal life as well as our business life. We cannot ignore issues that come up in our business. They must be addressed and it doesn’t have to be “all or none”. We can continue our progress forward while working on a solution. Managing our stress level more effectively as entrepreneurs help us to think more from a growth mindset. Dr. Sabrina addresses the difference in success and failure mindsets and cautions us to be careful about what we tell ourselves. Here’s a helpful trick in using the word, ‘yet’! Not taking care of ourselves can lead to unrealistic expectations about what we can physically endure. The mental stress that we experience takes a physical toll. Dr. Sabrina enumerates the health consequences of constant cortisol running through our bodies. “Veggies First” - What are the good things you’re going to do today to help sustain yourself? What are you doing today to make your business stronger? Suggestions on things we can do to sustain our business and make it stronger. Take the Entrepreneurial Burnout Assessment! You will learn if your business is putting you at risk for burnout, and help Dr. Sabrina with research for the 4 Week Vacation book that is publishing at the end of this year. https://www.tapthepotential.com/assessment Links and Resources: Is your business putting you at risk for Entrepreneurial Burnout?

I recently started reading about giftedness in children. I came upon it somewhat by accident, more out of a curiosity prompted by many people commenting on Ashar’s unusual alertness since he was a baby, his incredible comprehension even before he was verbal, and always seems to be thinking. A few of these people suggested he might be gifted. So one day I googled it and became almost immediately captivated by what I was reading, mostly about the special needs of gifted children. It’s been almost 3 years of me feeling like very few typical resources have helped our family with our “issues", whether they were sleep challenges or emotional needs or boredom/stimulation needs or me feeling more inadequate than I could handle. When I happened upon the giftedness literature, I finally felt like the solutions offered for those special needs made sense for our situation and, actually, many were what I had already started to identify as being helpful for us. I felt like I found a home and people who could relate to what I had long felt — but unable to articulate — were unique challenges with our child. I finally found hope. But as quickly as I found hope, I felt more alienated from many people around me because I felt unable to share this new direction without the worry of me or my child being judged. I was even hesitant to tell Mike at first. I haven’t felt confident speaking about this to anyone short of my mom and Mike. And then… I took a leap of faith. A friend of mine who has children older than I, made a comment on a facebook post that lead me to believe that she might have a gifted child of her own. So I very hesitantly reached out and asked, point blank, if she had a gifted child. Turns out she does… and this is a conversation that followed. Resources:Is my child gifted?
