Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
Power dynamics can still register in the nervous system, but when pressure and relational strain ease, it's often a sign of identity-level alignment. This episode explores why hierarchy feels different when your body no longer braces for safety.Power dynamics don't disappear just because you're more aligned.Hierarchy still exists. Authority still registers. Systems still function the way they always have.What often changes first is how your body meets those dynamics.In this Saturday episode on Horizontal Alignment, we explore how Identity-Level Recalibration begins to show up in real relationships, conversations, and leadership moments, not through effort or performance, but through presence.This episode is especially resonant if you've noticed that:Conversations with authority feel quieter than they used toYour body still registers hierarchy, but doesn't spiral afterwardYou're no longer replaying interactions or managing yourself internallyPower dynamics feel noticeable, but less personalYou're staying connected without shrinking or posturingRather than explaining power dynamics, this episode stays with the lived experience of meeting them from a different internal place.When alignment deepens, the nervous system still reads the room, but it no longer assumes danger. Responses become proportional. Context returns. Self-judgment softens without effort.This is not detachment.It's regulation.And it's one of the quiet byproducts of this work.This episode reflects the heart of Identity-Level Recalibration: not changing behavior, but changing the internal orientation that behavior flows from.Today's Micro Recalibration:When you notice a power dynamic today, ask quietly:“What does my body do, and how quickly does it settle?”No fixing.No correcting.Just notice how fast you return to yourself.That return is alignment in motion.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration → Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you → Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

What makes Lyme disease resolve quickly in some people but turn into a life-altering chronic illness in others? In this episode, world-leading immunologist Dr. Michal “Mikki” Tal, Principal Scientist at MIT, explains what her team is discovering through the MAESTRO Study — the largest clinical research project in MIT's history and the first of its kind to include real Lyme patients in a multi-system biological analysis. Dr. Tal's work sits at the intersection of immunology, bioengineering, and women's health, uncovering how infections like Lyme and COVID can cause persistent inflammation, immune miscommunication, and hormonal imbalance. Through MAESTRO, she's mapping how recovery breaks down — and what can be done to predict, prevent, and ultimately reverse chronic illness.
Send a textIn this episode of Authors Who Lead, I sit down with Samantha Sweetwater to discuss how her book True Human: Reimagining Ourselves at the End of Our World evolved from scattered ideas into a cohesive manuscript through patience, humility, and honesty.We explore what it means to write during a time of ecological, technological, and cultural transformation—and why authorship requires more than inspiration. Samantha shares the four-year journey of shaping her ideas, letting go of what didn't belong, and allowing the book to mature into its final form.Timestamp:00:00 Reimagining humanity in the Anthropocene04:10 Writing to reveal oneself08:56 Guide to radical civilizational transition10:13 Responses to the personal transformation chapter13:24 Navigating a transcontextual crisis16:34 Patience nurtures ideas into form20:49 Why this book resonates24:56 AI cover art collaboration29:09 Authors' long-term success plan32:35 Regenerative devotion and resilience35:01 Books thrive through community38:03 True Human: the author journeyFull show notesCOMMUNITY PROGRAMS

In this episode, I talk about the most common (and the most counterproductive) ways that people tend to respond to mistakes.
Guest: Dr. Alexander Gates, Rutgers University - NewarkWeather doesn't just shape our daily plans — sometimes, it shapes the course of history. From floods that altered empires to storms that changed the outcome of wars, extreme weather has quietly (and sometimes violently) rewritten the human story. Today, we're joined by Dr. Alexander Gates, professor at Rutgers University–Newark and author of the upcoming book Wicked Weather. In it, he explores the natural disasters that didn't just make headlines, but changed societies, politics, and the world as we know it. In this episode, we'll talk about the historical storms, droughts, and disasters that left lasting marks on civilization, what those events teach us about risk and resilience, and why understanding the past may be one of our best tools for preparing for the future.Chapters00:00 - Introduction: Weather's historical influence on civilizations00:32 - Dr. Gates' background & inspiration for Wicked Weather01:06 - How natural disasters shape human societies03:29 - The significance of weather-related events like hurricanes, volcanoes, and earthquakes06:37 - Most impactful natural disasters in history07:30 - Volcanoes from 536-540 AD changing the global climate09:24 - The hurricane that helped end the American Revolution11:06 - Human decisions impacting disaster resilience11:40 - Break 111:42 - Building resilience: lessons from historical events13:19 - Climate change's role in intensifying weather extremes16:16 - Lessons from historical weather disasters on modern emergency preparedness17:37 - How different types of disasters prompt societal change20:44 - Responses to weather-related disasters in different countries23:31 - Break 223:33 - The importance of societal response and adaptation28:04 - The science behind storms and the importance of understanding natural causes29:28 - Final reflections: societal resilience and future preparednessSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Ever feel like you're doing everything right but still stuck going in circles? I spent the weekend at Daytona watching a guy in 19th place never hold a single lead lap. Then chaos hit. While everyone else crashed, he stayed calm, navigated through the mess, and won the race. That's the power of being prepared when it matters most. Today I'm teaching you my pre-planned response system. It's changed everything for my clients who are crushing it in business but keep getting blindsided in important conversations. This is applied awareness before the moment happens. Featured Story Years ago, I was dating Joy, who's now my wife of 19 years. I was terrible at dating but determined to nail every moment. We're at this French restaurant in Mount Dora, and she looks at me and asks, "Mr. Smith, what are your intentions, sir?" Without hesitation, I said, "My intentions are to get you to fall madly in love with me, marry me, and spend the rest of your life with me. Is that okay?" Her jaw hit the table. Was it random? Not even close. I'd practiced that response over and over. I had it dialed in and ready to fire. That's what pre-planned responses do. They turn the moments that matter into wins instead of regrets. Important Points Important conversations trigger emotions, emotions narrow your thinking, and that narrow thinking creates regret. Most regret doesn't come from bad intentions but from showing up unprepared when the moment demands your best. Pre-planned responses give you composure when stakes are high and emotions want to hijack the conversation. Memorable Quotes "Confidence in any conversation isn't about charisma. It's about preparation and showing up ready to execute." "If you think through what you'll do when you're totally surprised, you'll never be totally surprised by anything." "We're not controlling the conversation. We're controlling ourselves inside the conversation when it matters." Scott's Three-Step Approach Identify the specific conversation coming your way, what concerns you about it, and what's actually at stake here. Anticipate the angles of attack like pushback, objections, emotions, blame, and surprise questions heading your way. Write short anchor responses you can repeat calmly when pressure hits and you need composure fast under fire.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Cortes Island's second housing survey was launched on Wednesday, February 11, 2026. Like the first housing survey conducted a little more than two years ago, this was a joint endeavour between Regional Director Mark Vonesch and the Cortes Housing Society, who together provided a look at the first responses to the 2026 survey. There had already been 70 respondents when Cortes Currents interviewed Sadhu Johnston a day after the release. Sadhu Johnston: "The first survey was really, really helpful for us in guiding the work of the Cortes Housing Society. We wanted to do another housing survey to gauge where people are at and how they're feeling about the housing challenges on Cortes. Also, for us, as we're building out Rainbow Ridge, it helps to get clarity on what people are looking for in terms of their housing needs. We want to make sure we're building the right size units, the right number of bedrooms, and things of that nature," he explained. Cortes Currents: By the time Mark Vonesch was available to comment on Sunday, the number of respondents had grown to 170. Mark Vonesch: "Having data helps us make good decisions. We did a housing survey two years ago and we just released a new housing survey earlier this week. We asked similar questions to understand people's lived experience with housing, both as owners and renters. Then we added a few more questions drilling down into some of the challenges that people are having, and we asked some opinion questions on policy decisions." "We've had 170 people fill out the survey so far, which is about 15% of the island. I would like to see at least another hundred people. So, if you're listening to this and you haven't filled out the housing survey, it just takes a few minutes. The link is on the Tideline. If you subscribe to my newsletter list, it's been released there, and through the Housing Society's social media and newsletter as well. I'm also putting it up on Tideline and we've mailed it out to all the mailboxes that receive drop mail on Cortes. We're hoping to increase the number of people that fill it out this year. Last time, we had almost 25% of the island fill it out, which is huge for a survey, but obviously the more people that fill it out, the better." Cortes Currents: How long do people have to fill it out? Mark Vonesch: "We are running the survey until March 6th. We're running it for a similar time as last time—roughly three weeks—so there's lots of time for people to fill it out, but the earlier the better. We've made a few changes this year."

丙午马年即将到来。在休更的两周,我们照例推荐两期旧番。本期的主题是“自然界最具牛马精神的动物之一”——蜜蜂。祝愿各位听友在马年不用像蜜蜂那么辛苦,但可以获得自己的蜂蜜。经济学是一门研究市场参与者如何通过决策与选择,来追求利益最大化的学科。各种各样原本日常的社会现象,在经济学家那里都可以变成简练的模型、或是动人的故事,平添了很多说服力。有时候,经济学家甚至连自然界中的例子都不放过。从这门学科的萌芽阶段开始,先后有三位经济学家都盯上了一种忙碌的昆虫——蜜蜂,并各自写了颇具影响力的论文。尤其是1952年和1973年,詹姆斯·米德与张五常先后关于蜜蜂与“正外部性”、以及真实市场中如何为“蜜蜂服务”定价的争论,现在读来仍是颇具趣味。相比其他农业领域,养蜂是个相对小众的出路。但正如经济学家所看到的,这个行业在美国的主要收入来源,已经逐渐从传统的自由产蜜,向“劳动密集”的果园授粉服务转移。对于地球另一侧的产蜜大国而言,这也是一个非常值得关注的可能性。本期节目,我们就从三篇经济学论文开始,看看勤劳的蜜蜂是如何与迷人的市场扯上关系的。| 主播 |肖文杰 约小亚| 时间轴 | 00:46 3个月写出一篇顶级经济学论文是什么体验04:08 1720年,经济学萌芽时期的蜜蜂寓言07:31 1952年,苹果树与蜜蜂互赠“正外部性”12:23 1972年,张五常的研究方法20:36 在果园授粉生意中被榨干的美国工蜂26:00 中国蜂蜜高产低价的原因30:08 恶劣的工作和气候条件对蜜蜂影响深远| 延伸阅读 |新制度经济学的来龙去脉-张五常的财新博客-财新网External Economies and Diseconomies in a Competitive Situation on JSTOREconomic Effects and Responses to Changes in Honey Bee HealthA bee economist explains honey bees' vital role in growing tasty almonds蜜蜂与现代农业:从“取一半,留一半”到“送蜜蜂上战场”78亿只蜜蜂消失背后《商业就是这样》鼓起勇气开设听友群啦。欢迎添加节目同名微信,加入听友群,一起讨论有意思的商业现象。微信号:thatisbiz为了营造更好的讨论环境,我们准备了两个小问题,请在添加微信后回答:1,你最喜欢《商业就是这样》的哪期节目?为什么?2,你希望听到《商业就是这样》聊哪个话题?期待与你交流!| 后期制作 |潘鑫| 收听方式 |你可以通过小宇宙播客App、苹果播客、Spotify、喜马拉雅、网易云音乐、QQ音乐、荔枝、汽水儿等平台收听节目。| 认识我们 |微信公众号:第一财经YiMagazine联系我们:thatisbiz@yicai.com
Send a textPerched above Dublin in the shadowy expanse of the Dublin Mountains, the Hellfire Club is steeped in legend, scandal, and fear.In this episode of Shadows of Ireland, we dig into the real history behind the Hellfire Club—from elite secret societies and accusations of ritualistic behavior to the lingering sense that something never truly left this place.While traveling with Secret Ireland Tours, we conducted an ITC and EVP session at the site alongside Chris Fleming. What followed were intelligent, timely, and deeply unsettling responses that challenged our expectations and demanded closer scrutiny.We break down:The historical context behind the Hellfire Club's dark reputationHow the session was conductedThe most compelling responses capturedWhy these moments stand out among our investigationsThis episode isn't about proving belief—it's about documenting experience and asking honest questions in places where history still feels alive.Put on your headphones. Listen carefully. The shadows of Ireland still speak.This October (1–9), we're joining Secret Ireland Tours for a haunted journey through Scotland, guided by renowned paranormal investigator Ryan O'Neill—seen on Haunted Scotland and Haunted Ireland, and Executive Director of Scottish Paranormal.From ancient locations to lingering folklore, this journey is about history, humanity, and the unexplained.

Osteosarcoma Webinar Series: David Ulmert, MD, PhD, an Associate Professor at UCLA, discusses his OutSmarting Osteosarcoma funded work (Because of Sydney) on high-throughput characterization of pathobiological responses in osteosarcoma tumors treated with LRRC15-targeted radiotherapy to uncover curative co-treatment approaches.Dr. Ulmert will discuss his lab's work investigating how osteosarcoma responds to LRRC15-targeted radiotherapy, with patient translation anticipated this year. Using high-throughput technologies, the team will identify biomarkers, predictive models, and key transcriptional regulators driving the TGFβ–LRRC15 axis. He will review how radiopathobiological changes and immune reprogramming are being mapped to uncover druggable events and inform co-treatment strategies, accelerating near-term impact on patient studies and next-generation therapeutic development.Dr. David Ulmert is an expert in oncology and biotechnology, specializing in cancer biomarkers and targeted therapies. His research focuses on antigens secreted by luminal tissues as novel cancer-specific targets and circulating biomarkers. He developed high-affinity antibodies against androgen receptor-regulated enzymes hK2 and PSA, now in clinical trials across the US, Europe, and Australia—in collaboration with Janssen—for radioimmunotheranostics, CAR-T therapy, and bispecific targeting. His lab also developed DUNP19, an LRRC15-targeting antibody licensed to Lantheus, with a Phase 1 trial in osteosarcoma planned for 2025. Dr. Ulmert leads UCLA's Preclinical Theranostics Program and conducts population-based studies on cancer biomarkers and risk factors with international collaborators. He is widely recognized for advancing prostate cancer research and translational immunotheranostics.

Electronic Voice Phenomena — EVPs — are some of the most disturbing and controversial pieces of paranormal evidence ever recorded. Disembodied voices. Whispers on playback. Responses to questions no one remembers asking.Tonight on Late Night Legends, Tim takes us deep into the world of EVPs: how they're captured, why they terrify investigators, and whether these voices belong to spirits… or something far stranger. Joined by Frank, K, Maria, Charlie, and Ashley, the Legends break down real EVP recordings, debate skepticism vs belief, and ask the uncomfortable question — what if something is actually talking back?Are EVPs proof of life after death? Residual energy? Interference from another dimension? Or just our brains desperately trying to make sense of the noise?Listen carefully. Sometimes the scariest things aren't seen — they're heard.Here at the Late Night Legends, we think spooky season should last all year long! Join our spooky community to ask the Legends questions, and keep the conversation going!https://discord.gg/kESdgRH47U
This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!Long before “ghost hunting” had a name, Bruce Halliday was already paying attention.Growing up in a Brooklyn apartment building, Bruce experienced something that stayed with him—a deceased family friend who seemed to linger in the halls, present in a way that felt unmistakably real. It wasn't dramatic or theatrical. It was quiet, personal, and impossible to forget.That early encounter didn't fade with time. Instead, it planted a question that followed him into adulthood: if the dead remain close, how might they communicate? While others dismissed the idea, Bruce kept listening—especially to the sounds buried inside static and radio interference.Years of curiosity and experimentation eventually led to the development of what became known as the ghost box—a device that transformed random frequencies into something far more unsettling. Voices. Responses. Fragments that seemed aware.What began as a childhood encounter became a pursuit that helped reshape paranormal investigation—and how we listen to the unseen.#TheGraveTalks #GhostBox #ParanormalHistory #TrueGhostStories #AfterlifeCommunication #EVP #ParanormalResearch #HauntedBrooklyn #ClassicEpisode #LifeBeyondDeath Love real ghost stories?

What's the episode about? In this episode, hear Nina Vaswani on young men and grief during in imprisonment, childhood bereavement, masculinities and grief, trauma informed practice, comics for education and research, disenfranchised grief, grieving a death you have caused, and public health responses to grief Who is Nina? Nina is Senior Research Fellow at the Children and Young People's Centre for Justice, University of Strathclyde. Her key research interests are the experience and impact of loss, bereavement and trauma in young people and how these experiences interface and shape contact with the justicesystem. Of particular interest is the overrepresentation of young men in justice-settings, and how their exposure to loss, bereavement and trauma might shape their developing masculinities identities, behaviours and outcomes. As a result, she is also interested in institutional and organisational responses to trauma, and the realities of trauma-informed approaches in practice. Nina was also the PI on Men Minds, a coproduced research project exploring masculinities and mental health with marginalised young men.Resources When People Die Men Minds comic, whichopens with a story of bereavement in prison The prevalence study isopen access and is available here.

In today's episode, our discussion features Tycel Phillips, MD. Dr Phillips is an associate professor in the Department of Hematology and Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in the Division of Lymphoma at City of Hope in Duarte, California.In our exclusive interview, Dr Phillips discussed updated efficacy and safety data from the phase 2 EPCORE NHL-1 trial (NCT03625037) investigating epcoritamab-bysp (Epkinly) monotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). He noted that the data, which were presented at the 2025 ASH Annual Meeting, showed that several patients remained in response beyond 4 years, and that no new major safety signals were reported. Overall, he highlighted that the trial findings continue to support the use of epcoritamab as a third-line, potentially curative option for patients with LBCL. He also spotlighted the promise of synergistic polatuzumab vedotin-piiq (Polivy)–based combinations in the management of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
(Spirit Rock Meditation Center)
(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We begin by hearing from two members of the community about how they are experiencing and responding to what's happening in the larger society and world in our times. Donald then discusses how we might respond on the basis of our practice, identifying the three areas of training--in wisdom, meditation, and ethics. Guided by wisdom teachings, we can see the society and world as both manifesting greed, hatred, and delusion, and also awakened qualities. In our meditation, we can practice on many levels, including working with challenging emotions, seeing through social conditioning, and bringing mindfulness to our thoughts, emotions, and bodies. We focus especially on "ethical practice," re-framed as developing caring and compassionate responses. We briefly outline the five ethical precepts, and then focus especially on the guideline of non-harming, clarifying how this is understood both more individually and socially, identifying teachings from the Buddha, King Ashoka, and Thich Nhat Hanh. We ask what our practice of developing "caring and compassionate" responses might look like, bringing in also material from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., including his nonviolence and understanding of interdependence, and Elie Wiesel, including his commitment always to speak up whenever there is suffering.
We discuss the practicalities of running a rapid response, including crowd management, coordinating with primary services, working outside the ICU, and rapidly obtaining and synthesizing diagnostic data. Learn more at the Intensive Care Academy!

Art Marketing Podcast: How to Sell Art Online and Generate Consistent Monthly Sales
Episode Summary The most powerful skill you can learn in 2026 isn't Photoshop or marketing — it's typing what you want into a chatbot. Plain English is the new programming language, and you already speak it. But most artists get garbage results from AI. Why? Because AI isn't dumb — it's blind. It doesn't know your business, your customers, your prices, or your voice. The fix is simple: context files. In this episode, I break down exactly how to create context files that turn generic AI into YOUR personal assistant — and I give you a prompt that lets AI interview you to build the file automatically. The "Interview Me" Prompt Copy and paste this into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Art Helper: I want to create a context document about my art business that I can use with AI tools. Interview me by asking one question at a time. Cover these areas: - Who I am as an artist (background, medium, style) - Who my customers are (demographics, where they find me, budget) - What I sell (products, price points, bestsellers) - How I talk/write (voice, tone, words I use) - My business goals for this year After the interview, compile everything into a clean document I can save and reuse. Ask me one question at a time and wait for my answer. The Context File Menu You don't need all of these. Pick 2-3 to start and build from there. # Document What's In It When It Saves You 1 Artist Bio Story, background, philosophy Grants, press, about pages 2 Customer Avatar Who buys, demographics, budget Marketing, emails, ad copy 3 Product Lineup What you sell, prices, sizes Listings, sales copy 4 Brand Voice How you write, words you use/avoid All written content 5 Tech Stack Computers, printers, software, OS ANY tech issue — instant diagnosis 6 Collector List Past buyers, what they bought, notes Follow-ups, Christmas cards 7 Show Calendar Art fairs, festivals, deadlines Planning, logistics 8 Pricing Strategy How you price, margins, why New work, negotiating 9 Marketing Channels Where you show up, what works Strategy, focus 10 FAQ Doc Questions people always ask Responses, website copy 11 Vendor List Framers, printers, suppliers Reorders, troubleshooting 12 Studio Setup Physical space, equipment Insurance, optimization 13 Art Style Guide Medium, techniques, subjects Press, commissions 14 Business Goals Revenue targets, 1yr/5yr vision Planning, accountability 15 Competition Notes Who else, how you're different Positioning, marketing Where to Save Your Context Files ChatGPT Projects: chatgpt.com → New Project → Upload files Claude Projects: claude.ai/projects → New Project → Add to knowledge base Gemini Gems: gemini.google.com → Explore Gems → New Gem File formats that work everywhere: PDF, Word docs, plain text, Markdown Related Episodes Context is King: Stop Having First Dates with ChatGPT Every Time (2025)
Key Takeaways: Boards should recognize that different states of incorporation may require different processes by which shareholders can bring derivative actions against directors and officers. Conducting and demonstrating a fair and reasonable process in the best interest of the company should be the goal of the board.Directors should be knowledgeable about who (e.g., which directors) can be involved in the decision-making related to a derivative action based on how the law in state of incorporation may define “independence” in such matters. Responses to such actions should always be done with the advice of qualified and experienced legal counsel to protect both the board from liability by ensuring the business judgment rule is properly considered, shareholder demands are properly investigated, complexities and conflicts of interest are managed, and appropriate communications are made throughout the process.

I've been using the term "machiavellian" for years. Recently, I looked it up. Today, I'm sharing what I found. Machiavelli was a teacher of "evil". He believed virtues were a waste of time. He said successful founders and supporters of government must be violent murderers to sustain control. Fear is a more powerful motivator than fear, so he encouraged brute force and violence as a means to an end. We can combat this type of thinking by encouraging empathy, connection, and morality.
