Jennifer Jehl joins Something For Everybody this week. Jennifer is a Masculinity Coach, Author and Mom of 3. In this conversation, we explore the complexities of modern relationships, particularly focusing on the impact of social media on youth, the critical role of fathers in child development, and the importance of male mentorship. We discuss the challenges of leaving toxic relationships and the journey of self-discovery and healing. The conversation also delves into the dynamics of masculinity, parenting strategies, and the nature of attraction in relationships, emphasizing the significance of rejection as a tool for personal growth -
Let me start with a disclaimer—this isn't a political editorial. It's a conversation about ideas. Lessons from business, design, culture, and philosophy that might help us grow—individually and collectively. And if you disagree, email me at ConvoByDesign@Outlook.com. I welcome the debate. As this year closes, I'm feeling a mix of frustration and optimism. This moment feels chaotic—as does most of life lately—which is why I often end the show with, “rise above the chaos.” We can't eliminate it, but we can manage what's within our control. The Stoics told us that long ago: focus on what you can control, release what you can't, act with virtue, and let obstacles sharpen resilience. This essay is about taking back even a small amount of control through the work we do and the spaces we shape. The Problem with Trend-Driven Design This year, phrases and hashtags flew faster than ever—Quiet Luxury, Brat Green, Fridgescaping, Millennial Grey. Much like the “big, beautiful bill” language we've all heard tossed around in political discourse, design's buzzwords can distract from what actually matters. They generate attention, not meaning. They look good on social media, not necessarily in the lived experience of a home, workplace, or public square. So instead of centering our design conversations around fleeting edits, let's pivot toward the global innovations that are transforming the built world in ways that truly matter. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Design Hardware – A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home! TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep Real Innovation Worth Talking About Across the globe, designers, architects, and researchers are developing ideas that transcend buzz. These are the concepts with longevity—the ones shaping smart, resilient, human-centered spaces: Biophilic Design, rooted in the work of Edward O. Wilson, Erich Fromm, and Japanese shinrin-yoku, continues to reframe our relationship with nature. Net-Zero Architecture, pioneered in Canada, Germany, and Australia, redefines building performance through projects like Seattle's Bullitt Center and Colorado's RMI Innovation Center. Smart Homes and Invisible Tech, building on early Asian innovation, hiding circuitry and functionality behind seamless design powered by Apple, Google, and Amazon ecosystems. Prefab and Modular Construction, originally exemplified by structures like the Crystal Palace and the Sydney Opera House, now reimagined by firms such as Plant Prefab. Passive House Design, born in Germany but rapidly shaping U.S. projects in California, New York, and the Pacific Northwest. And the list goes on: Self-Healing Concrete by Hendrik Marius Jonkers Guggenheim Abu Dhabi by Frank Gehry Bët-bi Museum in Senegal by Mariam Issoufou Powerhouse Parramatta in Australia Pujiang Viewing Platform in China by MVRDV Landscape and biophilic approaches—Wabi-Sabi gardening, edimental gardens, climate-adaptive landscapes, and indoor biophilia—are redefining how we engage with natural systems in daily life. Even infrastructure has become a site of innovation: CopenHill/Amager Bakke, Denmark's waste-to-energy plant with a ski slope Urban Sequoias by SOM—skyscrapers designed as carbon sinks 3D-printed timber in Germany, Finland, and France This is the work that deserves our attention—not the color of the week on TikTok. Rethinking the Shelter Space For years I described architecture as a language, design as a dialect, and landscape as the narrative. Mies van der Rohe famously introduced the concept of architecture as language. It caught on, and then the bandwagon effect took over. But today, the metaphor feels insufficient—especially for the shelter space, where people spend their lives, raise families, work, heal, and age. The shelter space isn't like a retail store or restaurant, where design is often intended for those who pass through briefly while the people who labor there navigate the leftover space. The shelter space must serve those who inhabit it deeply and continuously. And that shifts the conversation. Design begins with the usual questions—purpose, function, users, goals, budget. But these questions don't define design. They only outline it. There is no universal purpose of architecture or design, no single philosophy, no singular “right” answer. The shelter space varies as widely as the people living within it. So instead of treating architecture and design as technical processes, we should approach them philosophically. A Philosophical Framework for Design Stoicism offers clarity: Accept that budget overruns and changes will occur. Respect the expertise of the designer you hired. Invest in authenticity rather than dupes. Create environments that support health—clean air, clean water, noise reduction, resilience. Utilitarianism reminds us that choices have consequences. If the design decisions you make are based on influencer content instead of expertise, the result is no surprise. And now, a new framework is emerging that could transform our shared spaces entirely. Sensorial Urbanism: Designing the City We Actually Feel One of the most compelling movements emerging globally is Sensorial Urbanism—a shift from focusing on how the city looks to how it feels. It's neuroscience, phenomenology, and inclusive design rolled into a multi-sensory toolkit. Five Key Sensory Principles Soundscaping Water features masking traffic. Acoustic pavilions. Designed sound gardens. Paris' Le Cylindre Sonore. Soundscape parks in Barcelona and Berlin. Smellscaping Native flowers, herbs, and aromatic trees restoring identity—especially critical after disasters like wildfires. Kate McLean's smellwalks map a city's olfactory signature. Tactile Design Materials that invite touch and respond to temperature—stone, wood, water—connecting inhabitants to place. Visual Quietness Reducing signage and visual clutter, as seen in Drachten, Netherlands, creates calmer, more intuitive environments. Multisensory Inclusivity Design that accommodates neurodiversity, PTSD, aging, and accessibility through tactile paving, sound buffers, and scent markers. Why It Matters Because cities didn't always feel this overwhelming. Because design wasn't always rushed. Because quality of life shouldn't be compromised for aesthetics. Sensorial Urbanism reconnects us with spaces that are restorative, intuitive, and emotionally resonant. A city is not just a picture—it is an experience. The Takeaway for 2026 Rising Above the Chaos: Lessons from 2025 for a Smarter 2026 HED (3-sentence summary): As 2025 closes, the design and architecture world has experienced unprecedented chaos and rapid trend cycles. In this episode, Soundman reflects on lessons from business, culture, and global innovation, emphasizing resilience, purposeful design, and human-centered spaces. From Stoic philosophy to sensorial urbanism, this conversation offers guidance for navigating the next year with clarity and intentionality. DEK (Expanded description): Twenty twenty-five tested the design industry's patience, creativity, and adaptability. In this reflective episode, we explore the pitfalls of trend-driven design, the enduring value of service, and the innovations shaping architecture globally — from net-zero buildings to multisensory urbanism. With examples ranging from TimberTech decking to Pacific Sales' trade programs, we examine how designers can reclaim control, prioritize meaningful work, and create spaces that heal, inspire, and endure. A philosophical lens, practical insights, and actionable guidance make this a must-listen for professionals and enthusiasts alike. Outline of Show Topics: Introduction & Context Reflection on the chaotic year of 2025 in design and architecture. Disclaimer: this is a philosophical conversation, not a political editorial. Invitation for audience engagement via email. Trends vs. Meaningful Design Critique of buzzwords like “quiet luxury” and “millennial gray bookshelf wealth.” Emphasis on global innovation over social media-driven trends. The gap between American design influence and international innovation. Global Innovations in Architecture & Design Biophilic design and its philosophical roots. Net-zero buildings: Bullitt Center (Seattle), RMI Innovation Center (Colorado). Smart homes, modular construction, and passive house adoption in the U.S. vs. abroad.

Matt Crosby shares how getting caught selling drugs led him from a Rhode Island county jail to serving time in a state prison. In this episode, Matt breaks down the choices that put him on that path, what county jail was really like compared to state prison, and how incarceration forced him to confront the reality of his decisions. He speaks honestly about the mindset that comes with drug dealing, the shock of incarceration, and the long-lasting impact prison has on your life even after release. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStory #RhodeIslandPrison #TrueCrime #LifeInPrison #RealLifeStory #CrimeAndPunishment #ExConStory #prisonexperience _____________________________________________ Thank you to FRONTLINE HEALING FOUNDATION for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://frontlinehealingfoundation.org/ to donate or share their mission. _____________________________________________ Connect with Matt Crosby: Instagram: babershop_matt Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Getting Raided at a Young Age & Early Criminal Trouble 02:20 Meet Matt: New Hustles, New Opportunities 03:30 Growing Up in Providence, Rhode Island 05:35 Family Life, Childhood Trauma & Home Environment 07:10 Getting in Trouble Young & Pushing Limits 09:00 First Arrest: My Introduction to the System 12:30 High School, Alternative Programs & Being Labeled 13:40 The Bag of Money That Changed Everything 16:00 Life as a Small-Time Dealer & Street Reality 20:15 The Raid That Ended It All: Arrest & Charges 22:28 Jail Intake: First Night Locked Up 24:18 Doing Time in Minimum Security Prison 27:07 Daily Prison Life: Group Showers & No Privacy 29:15 Prison Food, Fights, and Contraband 32:40 Prison Politics, Respect & Social Hierarchy 37:00 Release Day, Probation & Adjusting to Freedom 39:20 Life After Prison: New Struggles & Temptations 45:00 Parenting After Prison: Morals & Responsibility 51:15 Breaking the Cycle & Repairing Family Relationships 55:30 Final Reflections: Growth, Regret & Redemption Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textHoliday leftovers taste different when the gifts don't add up and the neighbors are acting wild. We crack open the post-Christmas reality: what happens when generosity meets expectations, and why a “practical” present can land like a punchline. Then we step into a real-life scandal across the street—overtime Wednesdays, a leased house, a quiet cul-de-sac, and a hard decision about what to do when trust collapses. The stories are messy, the advice is unfiltered, and the humor softens the edges without dodging the truth.From there we wrestle with the big moral question: when you hear a domestic blowup, do you step in or stay out. We trade experience over theory—what safety looks like, how optics can flip the script, and why being a good neighbor can be riskier than it sounds. The conversation widens into who “cheats better,” how routines hide secrets, and the petty genius of revenge-by-unlocked-phone. And then the mood shifts to the soft spot under the tough talk: kids, Santa, tooth-fairy letters, and the way cash-in-an-envelope becomes a dad's quiet love language.We close with a nostalgia bender and a ringside view: Ninja Turtles vs. Power Rangers, Fallout and The Last of Us on screen, and Jake Paul's 96-million-dollar masterclass in promotion. Respect the hustle, question the craft, debate the matchups—while admitting the villain everyone pays to see can still win the night. Hit play for a ride that moves from gift etiquette to neighbor drama to pop culture rabbit holes, all with the energy of friends who argue hard and laugh harder.If you're feeling it, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop a review.

In this episode, we break down A FEW GOOD MEN — one of the most intense courtroom dramas ever made and a master class in dialogue, tension, and character conflict. We dive into Aaron Sorkin's sharp writing, Rob Reiner's direction, and how the film creates explosive drama using nothing but ego, truth, and moral pressure. We analyze Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson's legendary confrontation, why "You can't handle the truth!" became iconic, and how the movie turns ideology into its own form of warfare. From the courtroom structure to the character motivations, we explore why A Few Good Men still holds up as one of the smartest and most gripping dramas ever put on film.

Why does setting boundaries feel so hard — and why do they sometimes still go unrespected, even when you try to communicate them clearly? In this Quick IQ episode of Heal Yourself, Change Your Life, Brandy Gillmore answers a powerful listener question about boundaries and shares 3 key insights that make boundaries feel easier, more natural, and far more successful. Instead of viewing boundaries as something you have to defend or enforce, Brandy invites you to create them in a way that they are harmonious borders — rooted in kindness, ease, love, and mutual respect rather than frustration, stress, hurt, or emotional overwhelm. In this episode, you'll discover: Why boundaries set from frustration often create ongoing conflict How emotional energy impacts whether boundaries are respected or challenged A simple communication shift that helps people understand what you do need — not just what you don't Why consistency matters more than confrontation How subconscious emotional patterns (like feeling unheard or unworthy) can quietly sabotage boundaries The deeper connection between boundaries, stress, relationships, and physical health If you've ever felt stretched too thin, unheard, emotionally drained, or frustrated that your boundaries aren't being respected — this episode offers practical guidance, emotional insight, and a compassionate approach that supports your happiness, your relationships, and your overall well-being. As always, if this episode resonates, please share it with someone you love — or someone who may benefit from this message. The more people who feel empowered, respected, and emotionally supported, the better our world becomes. Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal?

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. In this episode of “Push the Leading Edge”, James Hawkins and Ryan Rana dive into one of the most anxiety‑provoking parts of EFT: when the caregiving system red-lights right in the middle of beautiful vulnerability. Drawing on attachment theory and years of EFT training experience, they explore “caregiving nightmares”—those predictable moments when a partner can't respond with comfort, even when their loved one is wide open and reaching. They unpack how pursuers and withdrawers each bring their attachment strategies into the caregiving role: withdrawers often “loan out their avoidance” as a form of love, and pursuers “up the ante” as their way of fighting for the bond. Rather than shaming these moves or bypassing them to “get to the heart,” James and Ryan show how to move toward the blocks themselves as emotional material, validating the attachment logic inside them and using structured, attuned interventions to help partners reclaim their caregiving systems. With rich clinical examples, regulation strategies for therapists, and practical language you can use tomorrow, this episode helps you trust the process, trust the caregiving system, and stay with the red lights long enough for new attachment experiences to emerge. Main Points from the Episode Framing: “Caregiving Nightmares” & Red Lights - Focus on stage 2 / step 6 caregiving positions, and the “back half” of vulnerable enactments. - The “red light” is the blocked caregiving system: the partner can't offer simple comfort even when they want to. Predictable Attachment Patterns in Caregiving - Withdrawers as caregivers: - “Loan out their avoidance” or self-reliance: advice, positivity, “be comfortable in your own skin.” - This is a form of love and responsiveness, but often misattuned. - Pursuers as caregivers: - “Up the ante”: test, push, or kick the tires on vulnerability (“it's just words,” “you only do this in here”). - Driven by hope and fear of being dropped again. Therapist Regulation & Preparation - Pre‑regulate before couples sessions; expect blocks as part of the process, not a failure. - If the therapist dysregulates, you now have three protection systems in the room. Working with Withdrawer Red Lights - Steps: 1. Regulate yourself. 2. Offer an attuned, assertive interruption (contain the cycle). 3. Give 3–5 concrete validations of the withdrawer's strategy as attachment‑driven care. 4. Reframe the strategy's attachment function (“this is how you love/protect”). 5. Then gently move toward the part that wants to reach. - Don't bypass the strategy; work with it as emotional material. Working with Pursuer Red Lights - Normalize that pursuers often lash out or test the first vulnerabilities they've begged for. - Validate their vision, hope, and fight for the relationship (3–5 validations). - Help them notice their somatic/empathic response to the partner's pain (1% of reach or comfort). - Avoid shaming language like “you're going to your head.” Use of Numbers & Repetition - “Magic” 3–5 validations to regulate a nervous system. - Sue Johnson's idea: clients often don't really hear you until about the 5th repetition. Tourniquets & Sender Protection - After a strong send + strong red light, layer tourniquets on the sender so they: - Feel caught and not blamed. - Are reinforced to risk again. - Never make the sender give up their experience just to soothe the blocked caregiver. Trusting the Caregiving System - Leanne Campbell's idea: trusting the process = trusting the caregiving system. - People do know how to care; the cycle paralyzes access. - Our job is to create conditions for that caregiving instinct to re‑emerge experientially. Hope, Respect, and Attachment Change - Both pursuer protest and withdrawer avoidance are hopeful, survival strategies. - Change often comes through “begrudging respect”: seeing a partner fight their old pattern for the relationship.

Disney'sZootopia 2 has been a huge success in the Chinese mainland, raking in more than 3.8 billion yuan ($539.69 million) at thebox office as of Sunday afternoon, making it the second-highest-grossing Hollywood film of all time in the mainland market—only beaten to the top spot by Avengers: Endgame. The movie's cumulative box office receipts in the Chinese mainland nearly double those for North America and account for nearly half its worldwide total, underscoring China's role as a major player in the global cinema landscape. With a vast and engaged audience base, the potential for growth is immense.迪士尼动画《疯狂动物城2》在中国大陆取得巨大成功,截至上周日下午票房已突破38亿元人民币(约合5.3969亿美元),成为该地区有史以来票房第二高的好莱坞电影——仅次于《复仇者联盟4:终局之战》。该片在大陆地区的累计票房几乎是北美票房的两倍,占全球票房近半数,彰显了中国在全球电影市场中的重要地位。中国凭借庞大且热情的观众群体,其增长潜力巨大。Zootopia 2's appeal to Chinese audiences was enhanced by Disney's engagement initiatives. Shanghai Disneyland's Zootopia-themed area, inspired by the first film, celebrated its second anniversary on Saturday. It is the world's only Zootopia-themed destination.《疯狂动物城2》对中国观众中的吸引力因迪士尼的互动推广活动而增强。全球唯一以动物城为主题的游乐园区上海迪士尼乐园的动物城主题园区——其设计灵感源自首部电影——于上周六迎来两周年庆典。Walt Disney Animation Studio also deliberately included Chinese cultural elements, such as characters representing the Chinese zodiac signs, in thesequel. One of the film's pivotal new characters is Gary De'Snake. Jared Bush, Disney Animation's chief creative officer, emphasized the character was introduced specifically to appeal to the Chinese audience: "We knew this was the Year of the Snake and we wanted the movie to come out the same year for sure." The story of protagonist Judy Hopps leaving her small town and finding success in the big city alsoresonates deeply with Chinese audiences at a time of rapid urbanization.华特迪士尼动画工作室还特意在续集中融入了中国文化元素,例如代表中国生肖的动物角色。影片新增的关键角色之一是名叫盖瑞的蛇。迪士尼动画首席创意官杰拉德·布什强调,这个角色正是为吸引中国观众而设计:“我们知道今年是蛇年,所以坚持要让电影在同一年上映。”主角朱迪·霍普斯离开小镇、在大城市取得成功的故事情节,也深深触动了正经历快速城市化进程的中国观众。Moreover, the adaptation of the film's script to accommodate Chinese cultural nuances and humor ensured that the story and its jokes got through to Mandarin-speaking audiences, which highlights the importance of cultural sensitivity and understanding.此外,电影剧本为适应中国文化特色和幽默风格所做的改编,确保了故事及其笑点能精准传达给普通话观众,这凸显了文化敏感度与理解力的重要性。The Chinese mainland market's irreplaceable contribution to Zootopia 2's global box office success is indicative of a broader trend where Hollywood films increasingly rely on international markets for their financial success. As noted by observers, China's massive consumer base and its openness to both domestic and imported films create a unique environment for cinematic success. The market's capability to nurture high-grossing films challenges the notion that it is turning away from Hollywood films. Instead, quality andcultural resonance continue to be the key factors determining whether films will be a hit or not with Chinese audiences.中国大陆市场对《疯狂动物城2》全球票房取得佳绩有着不可替代的贡献,揭示了好莱坞影片日益依赖国际市场实现商业成功的普遍趋势。正如观察人士所指出的,中国庞大的消费群体以及对国产与进口影片的开放态度,共同构筑了独特的电影成功环境。该市场培育高票房影片的能力,正挑战着“中国市场正疏远好莱坞影片”的论调。事实上,影片质量与文化共鸣度始终是中国观众决定影片成败的核心要素。As Hollywood looks to the future, the importance of understanding and engaging with the Chinese market cannot be overstated. The success of Zootopia 2 may chart the course ahead for future collaborations between Hollywood and Chinese filmmakers. By incorporating culturally relevant elements and engaging in meaningful localization, studios can create films that resonate with Chinese moviegoers, which will not only enhance their box office performance, but also foster cultural exchanges and understanding between the two countries.好莱坞展望未来之际,理解并开拓中国市场的重要性不言而喻。《疯狂动物城2》的成功或将为好莱坞与华语电影人的未来合作指明方向。通过融入文化共鸣元素并开展深度本土化,制片方能打造出深受中国观众喜爱的影片,这不仅能提升票房表现,更能促进两国间的文化交流与相互理解。Indeed, films such as Zootopia 2 can help bridge the emotional andperceptual gaps between the Chinese and American people, especially amid political and trade tensions. They serve as a medium for mutual understanding and appreciation of their different cultures. By showcasing shared values, such as friendship, perseverance and justice, these films highlight common human experiences that transcend national boundaries. Respect and acknowledgement of cultural diversity can also help foster a sense of inclusion and connection, thus reducing stereotypes and misconceptions that often fuel animosity.诚然,诸如《疯狂动物城2》这类影片有助于弥合中美民众在情感认知上的鸿沟,尤其在政治与贸易紧张局势下,它们成为促进彼此理解、欣赏不同文化的媒介。通过展现友谊、坚韧与正义等共同价值观,这些影片突显了超越国界的普世人性体验。尊重并认可文化多样性,还能促进包容感与联结感,从而减少那些常助长敌意的刻板印象与误解。In a world where political narratives often erect barriers between nations, cultural exchanges such as those facilitated by Zootopia 2 offer a powerful counterbalance, promoting understanding and collaboration.在一个政治叙事常在国家间筑起壁垒的世界里,《疯狂动物城2》所促成的文化交流提供了强有力的平衡力量,促进了理解与合作。China has become a critical market for cinematic success. Apart from Zootopia 2, Ne Zha 2, the domestic animated hit from the Spring Festival holiday, was also a global sensation. Its 15.4 billion yuan box office revenue is the highest gross ever for an animated film worldwide. This indicates China's massive consumer base remains capable of lifting films to heights unmatched anywhere else. And this is not only true of movies.中国已成为电影成功的关键市场,除了《疯狂动物城2》,春节档本土动画大片《哪吒之魔童降世》也引发全球轰动。《哪吒之魔童降世》154亿元的票房收入创下全球动画电影最高纪录,这表明中国庞大的消费群体仍能将电影推向无与伦比的高度。而这种现象不仅限于电影领域。Through thoughtful collaboration and cultural exchange, both China and the US can enrich their cinematic landscapes, creating a more interconnected and culturally aware audience.通过深思熟虑的合作与文化交流,中美两国都能丰富各自的电影景观,从而培养出更具联结意识和文化认知力的观众群体。box office票房sequeln./ˈsiː.kwəl/续集cultural resonancen./ˈrez.ən.əns/文化共鸣resonatev./ˈrez.ən.eɪt/使…产生共鸣perceptual gapsadj./pɚˈsep.tʃu.əl/认知鸿沟
In this Season 14 review (Part 3) Andrea revisits key insights from Dr. Shane Creado on the critical link between sleep, concussions and performance. The episode explains how even mild or repeated head impacts and sleep deprivation damage the same brain regions that support learning, memory, decision-making and emotional regulation, and how one all‑nighter can reduce hippocampal learning capacity by around 40%. Practical takeaways include treating sleep as neurological recovery (7–9 hours), protecting the brain after head jolts, avoiding late alcohol and screens, and prioritizing consistent sleep routines to restore learning, resilience and long‑term brain health for athletes, students and professionals. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. As we are nearing the end of Season 14 here, it has been about reflection as we have looked back and reviewed past interviews. Our goal has not been about nostalgia, or remembering these interviews, the goal has been about integrating what we have learned. Taking what we know, aligning it with how the brain actually functions, and applying it consistently enough to change outcomes. And if there's one thing this season has reinforced, it's this: Sustainable success isn't built on intensity or focus alone—it's built on alignment. As we move into what's next, (Season 15) the focus shifts from understanding this alignment to bringing this alignment into a tangible, physical form, or embodiment. Not more information—but better execution. After hundreds of conversations with neuroscientists, educators, peak performers, and thought leaders, one truth keeps resurfacing— lasting success is never about doing more. It's about alignment. Alignment between how the brain actually works, how emotions drive behavior, and how daily habits compound over time. Season 14 has been about stepping back—not to reminisce, but to integrate what we have learned into our current life. I knew the minute that I was sent a couple of video clips from our past episodes, that I had forgotten about, that while I thought I had implemented the ideas from our past guests, I had some work to go myself. For this reason, we spent Season 14 and will resume with Season 15 next January, reviewing past episodes, with the goal of noticing what we have now aligned, that's bringing us results in our daily life. Core Reflection When we started this podcast 7 years ago, the goal was simple: bridge neuroscience research with practical strategies people could actually use. What I didn't fully appreciate then—what only became clear through repetition, reflection, and real-life application—is that information alone doesn't create change. Understanding the brain doesn't matter if we ignore what to do with the information we release each week: improving our sleep reducing our stress practicing emotional regulation with consistency that actually changes who we are at the core: our identity Season 14 has been about connecting those dots. Listening again to conversations with voices like Dr. John Medina, Dawson Church, Bob Proctor, Dr. John Ratey, Friederike Fabritius, and so many others, one pattern became impossible to ignore: The brain thrives on simplicity, repetition, and finding emotional safety to implement these concepts—not intensity or a quick fix. We will take the time with each interview review to offer ways for all of us to implement the lessons learned, so that when we finish 2026, we will be able to look back, and see where our changes all began. This week, we move onto PART 3 of our review of EP 72[i] with Shane Creado, MD and his book Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes recorded back in July of 2020. ✔ In PART 1[ii], we covered: How strategic napping, morning brain habits, and even the Silva Method all work together to reset your brain, boost performance, and transform your health from the inside out. ✔ In PART 2[iii] we continued with our review, diving a bit deeper into sleep deprivation and its impact of performance (whether you are an athlete, or just someone looking to improve productivity). ✔ PART 3, we will go a bit deeper into the impacts of concussions and brain injuries on our sleep and performance. Let's go back to 2020 and revisit what Dr. Creado had to say about sleep in this last episode of this season. VIDEO 1 – Click Here to Watch In the first clip of this episode, with Dr. Creado, he dives into the connection with concussions and sleep. He says, “Most people who have had a concussion end up with sleep problems. It makes a lot of sense when you think about the brain and how it regulates sleep and wakeful cycles and then it gets jarred. But what people don't realize is that even a mild head injury can really damage your brain. Even if you're not officially diagnosed with a concussion, you don't have to lose consciousness to have a concussion. You don't even need to have any symptoms to have your brain injured in some way. And then the little injuries along the way add up over time. So the brain is as soft as butter and in a hard, bony skull. Anything that jars it, even whiplash can cause your brain to be injured. And it accumulates over time. What's interesting is that the same regions of the brain that are most damaged in head injuries are also damaged in sleep deprivation and also alcohol use. The frontal lobes, the temporal lobes and the parietal lobes at the top of the brain.”
Send us a textAfter a childhood in east Anchorage, Andrew Halcro worked his way up in his family's Avis Rental Car business eventually becoming CEO in 2002 after leaving the state house where he had served for four years representing the Sand Lake district of west Anchorage. After an unsuccessful gubernatorial run in 2006, he continued a popular political blog until he became the president of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce in 2012. In 2015 he unsuccessfully ran for mayor of Anchorage losing to his friend Democrat Ethan Berkowitz. Mayor Berkowitz appointed Halcro to be director of the Anchorage Community Development Authority. Through a collaboration with the Anchorage Daily News in 2021, he started a podcast called "With All Due Respect," which became extremely popular for its biting criticism of Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson. Andrew continues to host "With All Due Respect," which you can find wherever you listen to podcasts.
In this thought-provoking episode of "90 Miles from Needles, the Desert Protection Podcast," host Chris Clarke embarks on a journey to unpack the concept of desertification and its implications for environmental policy. Engaging listeners with tales of ecological history and colonial narratives, Chris explores the intersection of science, politics, and public perception in shaping how we view and treat deserts. Through an insightful discussion backed by the work of geographer Diana K. Davis, he urges a rethinking of what constitutes land degradation and calls for a more nuanced understanding that respects the intrinsic value of dry lands. Chris challenges the prevailing notion that desertification equates to ecological failure and provides a critical examination of how historical and colonial assumptions have influenced modern conservation efforts. He highlights the importance of recognizing deserts as dynamic ecosystems shaped by natural processes and human impact. This episode is an eye-opener for those interested in land use policy, environmental advocacy, and the intricate relationship between culture and ecology. Key Takeaways: Desertification Misconceptions: Reframing desertification as land degradation challenges the stereotype of deserts as barren wastelands. Historical Context: The colonial roots of desertification persist, influencing how we address ecological challenges today. Policy Implications: Misnaming ecological processes can lead to ineffective conservation measures and exacerbate environmental issues. Respect for Deserts: Deserts require a holistic approach that values their ecological role and indigenous knowledge. Call to Action: June 17 could be a day to reimagine our relationship with deserts, focusing on protection rather than remediation. Notable Quotes: "Deserts aren't mistakes. They're not broken landscapes. They're ancient living systems shaped by scarcity and timing and restraint." "When you misname the problem, you reach for the wrong tools. And sometimes... those tools make things worse." "Deserts need us to listen to people who've lived with aridity for generations." "The story matters because your choice of story determines the solutions that are available to you." "Land can be damaged in dry places, but deserts themselves are not damage." Resources: Diana K. Davis' Works: Heavily referenced throughout the episode, particularly her book "The Arid Lands." Book Recommendation: "All the Wild and Lonely Places" by Larry Hogue.

The guys are back with another episode of BMU. Reject the binary. Respect duality. Control thyself.
Hi Pod, it's James Guttman. As the holidays approach, I talk about what respect really looks like when you're raising a nonverbal child with autism. My son doesn't care about Christmas traditions, gift-opening, or big holiday moments, so instead of forcing him into them, I've learned to build the season around who he actually is.In this episode, I share how trust became the foundation of our relationship, from a moment after my heart surgery that changed how I parent forever to the everyday choices that make holidays calmer and more meaningful for him. I explain why I follow my son's lead instead of correcting him, why consistency matters more than control, and how keeping my word has shaped his behavior in public and at home.I also talk candidly about single fatherhood, rejecting the “helpless dad” stereotype, protecting peace after major life changes, and what it means to invite someone into a life that already works. This episode is about autism appreciation, setting boundaries with kindness, and choosing respect over performance, especially during the holidays.If you're a parent of a child with autism, a single parent, or someone looking to make the holidays gentler and more authentic, this conversation is for you.It's Here! Get the book – “Hi World, I'm Dad: How Fathers Can Journey to Autism Awareness, Acceptance, and Appreciation” on audio, digital, or print.Follow Us On TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
