Buying an Infinite Banking policy is the easy part - knowing how to use it is where it gets real. Jim Oliver and Kyle Reese tackle a problem they see repeatedly: people investing real money in IBC policies, only to realize they were never taught what to do next. The conversation moves past illustrations, cash value, and policy mechanics and into the lived experience and what's important: developing the knowledge and confidence to actually take control of the banking function in your life. A well-designed policy has value, but the person operating the system ultimately determines what they can build with it. Key Takeaways - IBC is a concept and a process, not simply an insurance policy. - Knowing how to use the system matters more than the system itself.  - Learn from practitioners who actually implement the strategies they teach. - Education builds the confidence required to take control of your capital. Think long-range. Building a banking system is a long-term practice, not a quick financial transaction. Want to Learn the IBC "Swing"? Jim and Kyle are offering listeners a copy of Becoming Your Own Banker by R. Nelson Nash to people who are willing to read it and have a conversation afterward about what it means and how the concepts could apply to their situation.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. James 4:6 – God's Grace is for the Humble. 1 Corinthians 15:58 – You Can Stand Firm in Your Faith. Psalm 9:10 – Knowing God Builds Your Faith. Philippians 4:8-9 – The Right Way to Think. 2 Corinthians 7:6 – God Comforts Me When I am Discouraged.

Let's talk about the AI elephant in the room: hallucinations.

What's the right way to wake up?In this reflection on Psalm 5, John Ortberg continues the daily rhythm begun in Psalm 4.Evening is the time of peace. Morning is the time of hope.And don't worry: you don't have to become a morning person.John explores how Psalm 5 gives us a practical way to begin an ordinary day with God, even when we wake up carrying heavy burdens, difficult circumstances, or unanswered questions.Drawing from the ancient Christian invitation Sursum corda, “Lift up your hearts,” and the wisdom of Francis de Sales, John invites us to preview the coming day with God.What meetings are ahead?Who will you encounter?Where might you be tempted?Where might you have an opportunity to serve or encourage someone?Bring your actual day to God.Then wait expectantly.Maybe we shouldn't call the thing that wakes us an “alarm clock” at all.As John puts it, perhaps we need a resurrection clock.God has given you another day. This one will never come again.In this episode:Psalm 5 as a morning prayerThe rhythm of Psalms 3, 4, and 5Why you don't have to be a morning personWaking up with God when life feels heavySursum corda: Lift up your heartsWhy waking shouldn't begin with alarmFrancis de Sales on morning prayerPreviewing your day with GodPreparing for difficult interactionsLooking for opportunities to serveWhy morning is the time of hopeThe “resurrection clock”Living this day surrounded by God's careScriptures: Psalm 3:5 • Psalm 4 • Psalm 5 • Proverbs 27:14 • Psalm 118:24#Psalm5 #JohnOrtberg #MorningPrayer #Psalms #Prayer #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #MorningRoutine #Hope

Did you know the Bible gives us a way to go to sleep?In this reflection on Psalm 4, John Ortberg explores what sleep can teach us about surrender, control, prayer, and trusting God.Drawing from Answering God, John points out a fascinating biblical rhythm: evening comes before morning.Genesis says, “There was evening, and there was morning.”Sabbath begins at sundown.Psalm 4 gives us an evening prayer before Psalm 5 gives us a morning prayer.Why?Because before we wake up, accomplish anything, solve anything, or even become conscious of the new day, God is already at work.Every night, sleep asks us to relinquish our grip on our work, our relationships, our problems, our thoughts, and our need for control.The world keeps turning.God remains awake.And we can rest.In this episode:Psalm 4 as an evening prayerWhy the biblical day begins at nightEugene Peterson on evening and morning prayerSleep as an act of surrenderWhy we struggle to relinquish control"Search your hearts and be silent"Historical "first sleep" and "second sleep"Reviewing your day with GodGratitude before bedPsalm 4:8 and sleeping in peaceLearning to trust God's providence while we sleepScriptures: Psalm 3:5 • Psalm 4 • Psalm 5 • Genesis 1 • Genesis 2:2–3#Psalm4 #JohnOrtberg #Sleep #Prayer #Psalms #EugenePeterson #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #TrustGod

Today's Promise: Philippians 4:8 What are you thinking about today? The thoughts we allow to fill our minds have a powerful influence on how we live, how we respond to challenges, and even how we view God. Today's promise is a powerful and practical reminder to focus your thoughts on what is true, honorable, pure, lovely, and worthy of praise.   It is easy to become overwhelmed by the negativity, fear, and worry that surround us every day. But you don't have to let those things control your thoughts. You can choose where you set your mind. And when you focus your thoughts on Jesus, His goodness, and His promises, your faith begins to grow.   Today, decide to refocus your thoughts on God. When negative thoughts come, turn your attention back to His goodness. Let your thoughts become a source of faith, hope, and encouragement to those around you.

Gene Zannetti talks with Purdue wrestler Joey Blaze about the mindset shift from freshman year, where he put unneeded pressure on himself as a higher-ranking recruit, to reframing wrestling as something he gets to do rather than has to do, staying level-headed after big wins to avoid the high that leads to the very next loss, how shifting his match evaluation from win or lose to did I do the right things keeps him from going too high or too low, what he says to reset mid-match when things go wrong, and his advice to young wrestlers that being a good person in all areas of life takes the stress off wrestling and lets you actually enjoy it.Sponsored by Young LeeTimestamps:3:08 - Freshman year overthought things as a higher-ranking recruit4:29 - Shifted to gratitude: I get to do this, not I have to do this6:09 - Learned to stay level-headed after big wins to avoid the next low7:52 - Evaluates matches on did I do the right things, not win or lose9:00 - Pre-match routine: remind yourself how awesome this is, then go through the checklist11:37 - Mid-match reset: if he can score seven points fast, so can I14:01 - Marcus as the ultra-competitor big brother — healthy rivalry that fueled both of them22:11 - Advice to young wrestlers: be a good human and wrestling takes care of itself

Today, I tackle a pretty sensitive subject:  the difference between "Doing The Right Thing" and "Doing It Right." Let me be very clear:  I believe that working to save your marriage is heroic work.  It is pretty counter-cultural in our world of "throw away."  We do it with stuff and relationships.   I also believe that working on saving a marriage is courageous.  It's pretty scary to be in the middle of a crisis, and to CHOOSE to work on the relationship.  That is the definition of courage -- feeling fear, and choosing to act, anyway. Sometimes, I watch people who want to do the right thing, but they don't do it the right way.  "No Contact Rule," Reverse Psychology, hypnosis, spells. . . you name it, I see people try it. And I watch their efforts fail.  Their desire to change things is absolutely there.  But the approach is in trouble.  It kind of reminds me of deciding to diet, then choosing an ice-cream diet.  Probably not going to get the results you want (although it does sound delicious). Starting with the best of intentions is a great beginning point.  But it has to be followed with an approach that works. Let's talk about Doing The Right Thing, AND Doing It The Right Way.   RELATED RESOURCES No Contact Rule Is Crap So Is Reverse Psychology And Shortcuts Aren't And "Try Anything" Fails But This System Works

How can higher education scale its reach without sacrificing academic rigor or student outcomes? In this episode of An Educated Guest, host Todd Zipper sits down with Dr. Vijay Kumar, Dean of Penn Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, to discuss the changing landscape of engineering, robotics, and academic leadership. Drawing on nearly 40 years of experience as a researcher and administrator, Dean Kumar shares his vision for expanding educational access and explains why measuring higher education excellence through selectivity alone misses the broader purpose of institutional impact.The conversation dives deep into Penn's pioneering efforts in modern learning, including expanding their online graduate programs to reach thousands of non-traditional learners worldwide. Dean Kumar unpacks Penn's decision to launch the Ivy League's first undergraduate degree in Artificial Intelligence—emphasizing "Intelligence Augmentation" and systems engineering over simple software generation. He also shares how AI is reshaping classroom assessment, driving faculty toward Socratic oral exams, team-based problem solving, and higher-order critical thinking.Finally, the discussion explores the power of cross-disciplinary collaboration and university commercialization. From developing an AI-driven mRNA Biofoundry alongside Penn Medicine to building an entrepreneurial ecosystem that takes robotics startups from university labs to the Nasdaq, Dean Kumar offers a hopeful, forward-looking playbook for the future of higher education. Tune in for a masterclass on technology, pedagogy, and institutional leadership.

Learning to read is one of the most important skills a child develops - but teaching reading requires more than simply exposing children to books. It requires an understanding of how the brain learns to read and the evidence-based practices that help learners build strong foundations.Host Lynn McLaughlin welcomes Mary-Anne Mouawad, Founder and Director of The Reading Clinic and a literacy educator with more than 25 years of experience supporting children, youth, and adults on their reading journeys. Mary-Anne shares her passion for the Science of Reading and explains why explicit, systematic, sequential, and multisensory instruction matters. They explore how readers develop skills, why some learners struggle, and what parents and educators can do to provide meaningful support.In this episode, you'll discover:

Well... it depends!Italian has several verbs that can translate as “to stop” in English - smettere, smetterla, fermare and fermarsi - but they are NOT interchangeable.In this episode, I'll help you understand the logic behind each one, so you don't have to memorize another confusing list of rules.***And if you love learning Italian verbs this way - understanding the logic behind them instead of memorizing endless conjugation tables and rules - this is exactly how I teach inside my course Fluent With Italian Verbs.Inside the course, I'll help you finally make sense of Italian verbs and learn them in a brain-friendly way, so you can stop overthinking every verb and start using them more naturally when you speak.

Pool chemicals do not wait for a “big mistake” to hurt you. Most injuries and long-term health problems come from tiny shortcuts repeated every day: bare hands on trichlor residue, a loose muriatic acid cap in the truck, or a quick DE recharge with no mask because you are trying to move fast. We share the safety habits we rely on in the field, including why gloves that actually resist pool chemicals matter, how we think about eye protection without going overboard, and what to do when routine starts making you careless.We also get specific about common products pool service techs touch constantly. Trichlor tablets can leave potent residue that chews through the wrong gloves. Muriatic acid can splash from one small transport error, so we break down smarter storage in cases, why loose bottles are asking for leaks, and what immediate rinsing should look like. Then we zoom out to chemical compatibility and transportation, including why acid and chlorine should never share a case and how a rear-end collision can turn poor separation into a toxic problem.Some of the biggest risks are the ones people shrug off. Diatomaceous earth (DE) dust is an inhalation hazard tied to silica exposure, so we talk masks, low-dust DE, and alternatives like perlite. Even test kits are not automatically “safe” just because the bottles are small. We cover OTO reagent hazards and why checking the Safety Data Sheet (SDS or MSDS) helps you make better decisions for your health and your business. If this helped, subscribe, share it with a pool pro who needs it, and leave a review so more techs find practical pool chemical safety guidance.We walk through the real-world risks pool pros face when handling common pool chemicals and how simple protective habits prevent burns, splashes, and long-term exposure. We also spotlight overlooked hazards like DE dust and OTO test reagents, then share practical ways to store, transport, and use chemicals more safely.  • wearing nitro-coated gloves to prevent chemical burns and skin exposure  • understanding why trichlor tablet residue can be especially harsh  • preventing muriatic acid splashes with better storage and cap checks  • protecting eyes with consistent eyewear and safer handling routines  • separating acid from chlorine during transport and storage to avoid toxic reactions  • treating DE powder as an inhalation hazard and using masks plus low-dust options  • reading SDS sheets to understand hidden risks in everyday products  • reconsidering OTO-based test kits and handling reagents with more care  Join the Pool Guy Coaching Program.

Once you have learned the fundamentals of Infinite Banking and decided to put it into action, one question tends to surface almost immediately: What is the best whole life insurance company for Infinite Banking? It is a good question. The carrier you choose forms a long-term relationship, one that stays in place for the rest of your life if you keep the policy in force. https://youtu.be/QzNg3h_7tcI So let's be upfront: this article will not hand you a ranked list of the best dividend paying whole life insurance companies by name. Public comparisons between named carriers are riddled with the bias of whoever is doing the comparing, and ranking companies without knowing what you are trying to accomplish is the wrong way to do it. What you will get instead is more durable than any ranked list: the criteria to evaluate any carrier with confidence, on your own terms. Table of ContentsWhy the Whole Life Insurance Company You Choose Matters for Infinite BankingHow to Choose a Whole Life Insurance Company: The Criteria That Actually MatterCriterion 1: It Must Be a Mutual CompanyCriterion 2: Dividend History, Not Today's Dividend RateCriterion 3: Financial Strength Ratings, Used CorrectlyCriterion 4: Ease of Doing Business and Alignment With Infinite BankingThe Right Way to Compare Whole Life Insurance CompaniesWhy Working With an Infinite Banking Practitioner Changes the DecisionChoosing the Right Company Is About Fit, Not RankingsFrequently Asked QuestionsHow do I choose the best whole life insurance company for Infinite Banking?What makes a whole life insurance company good for cash value?Why doesn't The Money Advantage rank specific whole life insurance companies?Does the company have to be a mutual company?Is a mutual holding company a bad sign?Should I pick the company with the highest dividend rate?How important are financial ratings when choosing a carrier?What is the right way to compare whole life insurance companies?Does the company matter more than my own behavior? Key takeaways: This is a decades-long relationship, not a one-time purchase Look past surface numbers like illustration projections and ratings alone Four criteria matter most: mutual structure, dividend history, ratings used correctly, and ease of doing business, plus alignment Compare carriers by stress testing them, not racing their illustrations A knowledgeable practitioner adds real value on top of these criteria Why the Whole Life Insurance Company You Choose Matters for Infinite Banking With term insurance, the company mainly needs to be solvent enough to pay a claim someday. Whole life insurance built for Infinite Banking is different. You are storing capital and using the cash value throughout your life. The death benefit may not be paid for decades. If the insured survives to the policy's contractual maturity age (often age 120 or 121), the policy endows, and the value is paid to the owner. That makes this one of the most consequential financial choices you will make. It is easy to judge a company by what is easiest to see: a bigger illustration number, a higher rating than the next carrier on the list. But those numbers are effects, not causes. They are the visible result of internal factors most people never think to check. It is a bit like judging character by appearance. You are only seeing half the picture. What actually matters is whether a company can weather economic cycles and stretches of low interest rates across the entire span of your policy, not whether it looks strong today or even over the next ten years. One more thing worth sitting with: among solid, well-established mutual carriers, the differences that matter to your outcome are often smaller than people assume. Your own behavior, how consistently you fund the policy, and how you use it, tends to shape your results more than which specific company issued the contract. How to Choose a Whole Life Insurance Company: The Criteria That Actually Matter Here is how to evaluate the internal qualities that drive long-term performance. Criterion 1: It Must Be a Mutual Company This filter is non-negotiable. A mutual company, or a mutual holding company, is owned by its policyholders. When it performs well, profits are distributed back through dividends. A stock company works differently: its primary beneficiaries are stockholders, and sharing in that upside would mean owning the stock itself, not just holding a policy. For Infinite Banking, you want to be an owner. Dividends grow your cash value beyond the guaranteed rate and fund paid-up additions, which pushes the death benefit further ahead of the cash value. Because the two are designed to meet around age 120 or 121, dividends are built to compound larger over time. Do not let the word "holding" throw you off. The nuance between a mutual company and a mutual holding company matters less than you would think. What is worth knowing here is why a mutual converts in the first place. It is usually about raising capital, sometimes under regulatory pressure, but often simply to fund better systems through a merger. The better question is not whether a company converted, but why. Criterion 2: Dividend History, Not Today's Dividend Rate Resist comparing two illustrations and picking whichever shows the higher declared rate. Rates shift year to year, and the same stated rate does not mean the same thing at two companies, since how a dividend is credited to your policy is proprietary information that varies by carrier. What deserves your attention is the track record. Has the company paid dividends with discipline through the Great Recession and other hard times? The large, established mutuals in this space have paid dividends for well over 125 years, and many have never missed a payment. Resist chasing whichever company posted the single highest dividend in its history, too. A one-year spike can be propped up by other business lines entirely unrelated to your policy. What you want is stability: a company that avoids wild swings in either direction, a sign of disciplined management built to sustain performance long term. A quick aside on bonds, since this trips people up. When interest rates rise, the market value of existing long-dated bonds falls. That is real, but only if those bonds are sold. A well-run insurer simply keeps collecting the yield and lets them mature at par. Insurers manage across a hundred-year horizon, not daily headlines, which is exactly the consistency you are trying to identify. Criterion 3: Financial Strength Ratings, Used Correctly Agencies like AM Best, Fitch, and Moody's, along with composite scores like Comdex, offer an objective read on financial strength. As a rule of thumb, look for carriers in the top ten of these systems, ideally the top five. Do not stop at the letter grade. Look at the trajectory. Is the company's capital-to-asset ratio strong and improving? That signals its ability to weather economic turmoil across the full life of your policy, not just hold up well in calm markets. Criterion 4: Ease of Doing Business and Alignment With Infinite Banking This is the most overlooked criterion. A carrier can have excellent ratings and an attractive illustration and still be difficult to work with. Every insurer must allow policy loans by law, but not every insurer makes that process easy. A company with more of an accumulation mindset may be slower to process loans, harder to reach, or saddled with a clunky portal. Some carriers publish service metrics, like the percentage of calls answered within a set time, and those are worth checking. Alongside ease of doing business sits philosophical alignment. Does this carrier actively support the Infinite Banking community, or merely tolerate it? Carriers vary a lot on paid-up additions flexibility: how much you can skip in a given year, and how much you can catch up later if life gets in the way. That flexibility is worth understanding before you commit to a design. The Right Way to Compare Whole Life Insurance Companies It is tempting to pull up two illustrations and pick whichever shows the bigger number. Resist it, since chasing the higher dividend rate this way tends to mislead more than it helps. The one certainty about any illustration is that it will end up being wrong. The non-guaranteed portion extrapolates today's dividend rate forward as if it will never change. It will change. The guaranteed portion shows what would happen with zero dividends ever paid, which is not realistic for a carrier with a century-plus history of paying them. Neither column is where you will actually land. A better approach is to stress test the policy instead. What happens if dividends drop for a few years? If you miss a premium? If you skip paid-up additions for two or three years and then resume? These "life happens" questions reveal more about how a policy will perform for you than any projected number ever could, and notice how much of this still comes back to your own behavior. Why Working With an Infinite Banking Practitioner Changes the Decision Everything above is something you can evaluate on your own. That is the point. But there is real value in working alongside someone who knows this terrain well. A knowledgeable practitioner typically works with a modest number of carriers, often four to six, understanding a handful deeply rather than spreading thin. That depth matters because the nuances between carriers are hard to master at scale. A good practitioner also tends to have real relationships within these companies, which can occasionally open doors that would otherwise stay closed. The goal is not just picking a company. It is matching the right company, policy design, and professional guidance to your situation. Choosing the Right Company Is About Fit, Not Rankings ...

In this deeply personal episode, I share my full story — not just how I entered the health and fitness world…but how I discovered the missing piece that changed everything.The Injury That Changed EverythingI take you back to being a teenage athlete — strong, competitive, and deeply connected to my body — until a life-altering moment shifted everything.At just 16 years old, I was in a severe accident that led to emergency back surgery and one devastating message:“You'll never play sports again.”My world became smaller.My body became something to manage… instead of something to trust.The Wake-Up CallIn my early 20s, after a night that left me feeling completely disconnected, I had a moment of truth:“Who have I become?”That question became my turning point.Instead of accepting the story I had been given, I made one simple decision:I signed up for a gym.No plan.No knowledge.No certainty.Just a willingness to begin.Rebuilding Through RepetitionWhat followed wasn't perfection — it was consistency.Copying workoutsShowing up week after weekLearning through doingReconnecting with my body slowlyAnd then something incredible happened:My pain started to disappear.I got off medication.I began running — first 5 minutes… then an hour.A moment that once felt impossible became reality.And in that moment, a new purpose was born:“If I can do this… I need to help others do this too.”The Search for the “Right Way” to EatAs I built my career — studying exercise science, becoming an athletic therapist and osteopath, opening gyms — I became obsessed with one question:What is the right way to eat?What followed was a journey through nearly every diet:Calorie countingLow-fatAtkinsPaleoKetoZonePlant-basedEach backed by science.Each promising results.Each adding another layer of confusion.When Knowledge Turns Into FearWhat started as education slowly became obsession.Food became:Something to controlSomething to label as “good” or “bad”Something tied to my identity and worthAnd behind the scenes, something deeper was happening:Fear.Despite being the “expert”…Despite coaching others…Despite knowing everything about nutrition…My relationship with food was unraveling.From Discipline to BingeingWhat began as a controlled “cheat meal” evolved into something far more intense:Weekend-long binge cyclesEating in secretHiding from clientsFeeling completely out of controlAnd then came the realization that changed everything:“I can't stop.”Not because I didn't know what to do —but because something deeper was driving the behavior.The Missing Piece: The Nervous SystemThis is where everything shifted.I realized:If someone like me — with this much knowledge, discipline, and experience — is struggling…This isn't about food.It's about the nervous system.It's about safety.It's about patterns happening beneath awareness.I also saw the same pattern in the people I was working with:They could follow a plan.They could get results.But the moment the structure disappeared…They went right back to old habits.Download my free guide, Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating, and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

If your goal is to lose fat and build muscle at the same time, you're probably making progress much slower than you should.In this episode, Eric Bach explains why trying to chase both goals simultaneously keeps most people spinning their wheels and shares the exact roadmap he uses with coaching clients to transform their bodies. You'll learn why getting lean first creates the ideal environment for building muscle, how to structure your nutrition through each phase of the process, and what it actually takes to create lasting results instead of another short-lived transformation.Eric walks through his three-phase approach, including the Metabolic Reboot Protocol, Sustainable Shredding, and the transition into lean muscle building. He also covers calorie targets, protein intake, intermittent fasting, carb cycling, training volume, and why patience is one of the biggest advantages you can have when changing your physique.Whether you're carrying an extra 20 pounds or looking to add lean muscle without getting soft again, this episode will help you build a plan that works with your body instead of against it.In This Episode:Why most people fail trying to lose fat and build muscle at the same timeWhy getting lean first accelerates long-term muscle growthThe Metabolic Reboot Protocol explainedHow to use intermittent fasting and high-protein nutrition effectivelySustainable Shredding and carb cycling for continued fat lossWhen to transition from fat loss to muscle buildingHow to increase calories without regaining body fatThe best training splits for each phase of your transformationProgressive overload and why strength is a skillBuilding a physique you can maintain for years, not weeksIf you enjoyed this episode, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who's ready to stop starting over and finally build a lean, athletic body.

You don't have to live in the woods to get bit by a tick. It can happen in your backyard, on a walk, even pulling weeds in your own garden. In this episode of The Art of Living Well Podcast®, Marnie and Stephanie sit down with Ali Moresco, a tick-borne disease survivor, healthcare publicist, and one of the most recognized Lyme disease advocates in the country. Ali spent two years searching for a diagnosis before learning she had Lyme disease along with several co-infections, and she's turned that experience into advocacy work that has helped shape federal tick-borne disease legislation as executive board chair of Project Lyme. Ali walks through what those confusing early years of unexplained symptoms actually looked like, why standard Lyme testing misses far more cases than most people realize, and the practical prevention and removal steps worth knowing before your next walk outside. She also shares what her recovery has actually required over the better part of a decade, including where the treatment protocols and research are headed next. Whether you spend your weekends on the trail, garden in your own backyard, or just want to know what to actually do if you find a tick on you, this conversation will change how you think about prevention. Key Takeaways: Lyme disease is present in all 50 states, not just the East Coast Standard two-tier Lyme tests can be 64-78% inaccurate, especially in the early weeks after a bite Fewer than half of people infected with Lyme ever develop the classic bullseye rash Never burn, smother, or otherwise irritate an attached tick — use fine-tipped tweezers and pull straight up Save a removed tick in a bag or jar; some states and universities offer free tick testing Alpha-Gal syndrome is a tick-borne meat allergy that can also cause fatigue, brain fog, and gastro symptoms Symptoms from a tick bite can surface years later, often triggered by an unrelated stressful event or illness Recovery from chronic tick-borne illness is rarely linear and often requires a combination of treatments tailored to the individual person Episode Breakdown with Timestamps:  00:00   Introduction & Meeting Ali Moresco 01:03   Does Ali Still Enjoy Being Outside After Everything She's Been Through 02:51   Life Before Lyme Disease Was Part of Her Vocabulary 07:23   The Timeline From Tick Bite to First Symptoms 08:53   The Two-Year Path to Diagnosis 10:39   Why Standard Lyme Testing Misses So Many Cases 13:40   What Her Lowest Point Actually Looked Like 17:28   The Biggest Misconceptions About Tick Bites 19:43   Beyond Lyme: Other Tick-Borne Conditions on the Rise 20:34   Understanding Alpha-Gal Syndrome 22:31   Babesiosis and Bartonella, Explained 23:24   How to Actually Prevent Tick Bites 26:36   Prophylactic Antibiotics After a Bite 27:49   The Right Way to Remove a Tick (and What Never to Do) 29:46   What to Do With a Tick After You Remove It 30:58   Can Symptoms Show Up Years After a Bite? 32:47   Reasons for Hope: New Research on the Horizon 35:55   Inside Project Lyme's Advocacy Work 37:48   What Treatment Actually Looks Like Long-Term 44:03   The Daily Habits That Help Ali Stay Well 45:34   Where to Find Ali and Her Work 46:28   "What Does the Art of Living Well Mean to You?"

Jody Fletcher helped lead Navy organizations of up to 45,000 people. His biggest leadership lesson was simple: how you treat people directly affects how they perform.After nearly 30 years in the U.S. Navy—including service as a corpsman alongside Marine Corps Recon and MARSOC—Jody became a command master chief and senior enlisted advisor to two- and three-star generals.In this episode of Whiskey & Wisdom, Jody joins Tyler Yaw and Chris Kellum to discuss the leadership principles behind his book, Good Humans Make Great Leaders.Jody explains why leadership skills must be deliberately developed, what separates a good human from a merely effective performer, and why authority alone will never create a great team. The conversation covers self-awareness, boundaries, relationship-building, difficult personnel decisions, optimism, and the principle of “first do no harm.”The crew also pours Jefferson's Ocean Voyage 24 and debates whether aging bourbon at sea actually changes the flavor—or simply creates a better story.If you lead a team, own a business, serve in the military, or want to become someone others can trust, this conversation is for you.Subscribe to Whiskey & Wisdom for honest conversations with people building businesses, leading others, and making an impact.Find Jody Fletcher's book, Good Humans Make Great Leaders, wherever books are sold—and leave a review after reading.CHAPTERS00:00 Welcome and Guest Introduction00:51 Jefferson's Ocean Pour02:04 Does the Voyage Change the Flavor?04:14 Jody's Navy Origin Story06:09 From the Teams to Command Master Chief08:17 Why Jody Stayed Past 20 Years13:26 Learning Leadership Later in His Career14:34 Officer vs. Enlisted Career Paths19:50 Why Good Humans Make Great Leaders23:06 How the Book Is Structured24:52 Creating a Conversational Leadership Book25:56 What Makes Someone a Good Human?26:27 Assuming Positive Intent27:07 Leadership, Boundaries, and Candy27:37 Why Would Anyone Want to Lead?28:50 Building the Super Team30:22 First, Do No Harm31:48 Hiring People and Making Hard Decisions33:58 The Right Way to Let Someone Go38:26 Defining Success After Military Service43:38 Control the Controllables44:56 The Discipline of Optimism46:34 Where to Buy the Book47:46 The Reality of Publishing a Book50:25 Final Thoughts and Book Reviews51:22 Jefferson's Ocean Afterthought#Leadership #MilitaryLeadership #WhiskeyAndWisdom

Technology is supposed to make business easier. So why does it sometimes feel like it's making everything harder? In this episode of the Level Up Claims Podcast, Galen sits down with Lara Hamilton, a multifamily IT and software support leader, to talk about the intersection of technology, AI, leadership, and operational efficiency. Lara shares her unconventional path from banking operations to multifamily IT, how she learned to eliminate inefficient processes, and why businesses need to make sure their technology actually works for their people. They also dive into the opportunities and risks of AI, including data security, employee education, governance, and the importance of verifying what AI tells you. But perhaps the biggest lesson is about leadership: the goal of technology isn't to eliminate the human element. It's to free people up to do the things only people can do. In this episode: Why technology should eliminate operational friction—not create more of it The importance of documenting processes before automating them How AI can improve reporting and efficiency The security risks businesses need to consider when employees use AI Why every company needs clear AI governance policies How leaders can use technology to give employees more room to think and grow Recognizing when your IT team is overwhelmed and becoming reactive Why taking care of your people ultimately means taking care of your clients Lara's philosophy on leadership, growth, and what it means to level up Lara's perspective is especially relevant for leaders trying to navigate rapid technological change without losing sight of the people their businesses are built around.

This episode is all about nonviolent homeschool communication — specifically, the patterns that make it harder than it needs to be. Nonviolent homeschool communication starts here — with understanding these old patterns. And there is one book that has shaped how I think about this more than any other. I’ve read a lot of books on relationships, parenting, connection, and attachment over the years — more than I can count. But Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication is the one I keep coming back to. For me, it is the bible of relationships and communication. And it has changed how I show up in my homeschool in ways I didn’t expect. Here’s what it taught me. https://youtu.be/J7kN_HHX52c?si=jZyaiXFDGyilrnsw But first, how does Marshall Rosenberg define nonviolent communication? NVC (aka Nonviolent Communication) is a language of life that helps us transform old patterns of defensiveness and aggressiveness into compassion and empathy and to improve the quality of all of our relationships. (Definition provided by the Center for Non-Violent Communication). We all have old patterns that need to be transformed. And we definitely notice we have reactive, defensive, and aggressive patterns when we attempt to create relationships. Certainly, we notice this when we saturate ourselves in the homeschool parenting role. The 4 NVC Components That Transform Nonviolent Homeschool Communication Observation: Observation without evaluation consists of noticing concrete things and actions around us. We learn to distinguish between judgment and what we sense in the present moment and to simply observe what is there. Feeling: When we notice things around us, we inevitably experience varying emotions and physical sensations in each particular moment. Here, distinguishing feelings from thoughts is an essential step in the NVC process. Needs: All individuals have needs and values that sustain and enrich their lives. When those needs are met, we experience comfortable feelings, like happiness or peacefulness, and when they are not, we experience uncomfortable feelings, like frustration. Understanding that we, as well as those around us, have these needs is perhaps the most important step in learning to practice NVC and live empathically. Request: To make clear and present requests is crucial to NVC's transformative mission. When we learn to request concrete actions that can be carried out in the present moment, we begin to find ways to cooperatively and creatively ensure that everyone's needs are met. (Definitions provided by the Center for Non-Violent Communication). Here’s how each component transforms homeschool communication in real life. Lesson One — The Homeschool Communication Shift That Changes Everything “What I want in my life is compassion, a flow between myself and others based on a mutual giving from the heart.” ― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life This is what we all want: we want a flow within ourselves and between us. But we’re not all trained to enable that flow. We have walls built up to defend ourselves; sometimes we even have spikes and landmines built up to defend ourselves. Either way, those defenses don’t build relationships. Vulnerability and authenticity allow relationships to expand and grow. Nonviolent homeschool communication requires this foundation first — self-compassion. And that is an easy thing to say and a less easy thing to do. Big Emotions Journal for the Homeschool Mom Are you a homeschool mom navigating the ups and downs of daily life with your kids?

Shop now Lesson Two — Homeschool Communication and Grace “All violence is the result of people tricking themselves into believing that their pain derives from other people and that consequently, those people deserve to be punished.” ― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life We do what we do because that is what we know to do in the scenario at the time. And in the words of Maya Angelou, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.“ If we have a growth mindset about life and relationships, how we show up will shift over time. Growth changes everything. Over time, we show up differently in the same scenarios — five, ten, or twenty years later — if we choose that path. Looking back in regret and shame is one option. Forgiving ourselves and growing is another. And when we grow humble and self-aware enough, we realize that others aren’t trying to intentionally cause us pain or friction either. Punishment didn’t teach us when we simply didn’t know better. It won’t serve the people engaging us wrongly now either. So we choose grace — the same grace we’d want extended to our own growing selves. This shift in perspective is at the heart of nonviolent homeschool communication. Lesson Three — What Anger Is Really Telling You “At the core of all anger is a need that is not being fulfilled.” ― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life Anger is that mighty sharp tip of an iceberg that protects our fragile hearts. It’s a useful tool to self-protect. But it also protects or keeps us from connecting with others if we self-protect too hard. Under the mighty iceberg of anger’s sharp tip is a whole lotta other big emotions. You name the emotion, it’s there. And those emotions are always fueled by our unmet needs. Nonviolent homeschool communication asks us to address those needs directly rather than react to the emotion on the surface. So we need to address our own needs and respectfully request that others meet our needs, so that we don’t spend our lives reactively, angrily demanding others meet our needs, and/or never connecting with ourselves or others. Lesson Four — The Danger of Not Knowing Yourself “We are dangerous when we are not conscious of our responsibility for how we behave, think, and feel.” ― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life You know when you’re not a parent and you have heaped judgments on your own parents parenting approaches BUT THEN you have kids??? And all you can think to yourself is DANG, this parenting thing is only easy when I’m not doing it. (& also, I can see now that my parents were doing the best they could do with what they knew to do in their parenting years, no matter how unhealthy things were). Because parenting is SO CHALLENGING at times. Every parenting book I’ve read had something to say. And I’ve appreciated most of them for something. But this core point, that we need to grow in self-awareness and self-compassion has had the most impact on my parenting approach. I’ve made the gamut of parenting mistakes. I really have. Which means I have regret. (& lest you try to console me for my perfectly imperfect parenting, I will go to my grave regretting them, but I also don’t fuel them with self-contempt). Self-shaming won’t change how I engage my kids now. Mistakes were made — I’m human. Healthy examples weren’t always available to me, and no matter how many parenting books or hours in a therapist’s office, I was bound to struggle with this one relationship: the relationship with myself. My defenses and my reactiveness towards things that hurt me or offended me or confused me were my instinctive armour and battle gear that I brought into my family life, as a wife, and as a mother. I wish this weren’t true. But it is. I had (& still have) armour and battle gear. Do I like that? Hell no. Will it serve me to pretend that these patterns weren’t mine at the beginning of my family journey? Again, hell no. I’ve learned that including practices in self-awareness has helped me see me a little more clearly (a little more, because there will always be room for more self-awareness, I’ll never see myself clearly). Or in the words of Carl Rogers, “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” Self-awareness is the foundation of nonviolent homeschool communication — and this is where it starts. Lesson Five — You Are Not Vanilla “My theory is that we get depressed because we're not getting what we want, and we're not getting what we want because we have never been taught to get what we want. Instead, we've been taught to be good little boys and girls and good mothers and fathers. If we're going to be one of those good things, better get used to being depressed. Depression is the reward we get for being “good.” But, if you want to feel better, I'd like you to clarify what you would like people to do to make life more wonderful for you.” ― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life If we don’t acknowledge who we are, that we are separate people, and that we have separate needs, we force ourselves to go underground. Our identity becomes like vanilla ice cream. Vanilla is a flavour of ice cream, sure (aka it’s a personality of ice cream types, though it is a basic personality). But it doesn’t have a specific personality, a particular flavour, or a particular texture. It has an entry-level nothingness. (Clearly vanilla is not my favourite. Bring on the peppermint chocolate chip). But we each aren’t vanilla personalities: we have our own flair, our own flavour, and our own textures. We are unique and are meant to be here for a special purpose. When we put our efforts toward being good or right, enabling ourselves to go undercover, we aren’t really us. And so does our nonviolent homeschool communication. And when we put our efforts toward fully accepting all of our parts, and each of our needs, and acknowledging our real selves, we flourish. The Homeschool Communication Tool I Use Every Day The very most important thing I gain from Marshall Rosenberg’s book, Nonviolent Communication, is this fill-in-the-blank statement. It is a useful tool: a fill-in-the-blank conversation “instruction manual” to address my needs and request someone to engage my needs (which, not coincidentally when you practice doing this for you, makes it awfully easy to engage for others too). When I see that______________ I feel ______________ because my need for ________________ is/is not met. Would you be willing to __________________? This single sentence changed my nonviolent homeschool communication more than any other tool I’ve found. So my goal in my relationships with my kids and my relationship with my partner is to make observations, clarify and express my feelings, declare my underlying needs, and ask for my needs to be met. That simple. And not easy at all.

If you’ve ever lain awake wondering what’s wrong with your homeschool, know this: you’re asking one of the same questions homeschool moms are asking every single week — you’re just doing it alone, at midnight, with a search bar instead of a friend. After two decades of homeschooling my own four kids, and six years coaching the women who do this work every single day, I can tell you this with complete confidence: the questions that keep homeschool moms up at night are almost always the same questions. Over and over. In every coaching conversation. In every Collective session. And in every message I receive at midnight from a mama trying to figure out what’s going wrong and why she can’t seem to fix it. So this summer on the Confident Homeschool Mom Podcast, I decided to address them directly. Seven episodes. Seven books. And seven questions that deserve more than a quick fix. Watch the video below — and then keep reading for the full breakdown. https://youtu.be/zkxm-irxoMQ What You’ll Learn in this Video: Why your child’s behaviour is almost never actually about you — and the personality framework that can explain it How the way you talk to your kids might be creating more friction than you realize — and what healthy homeschool communication actually sounds like The personal mental habits that are quietly making your whole life harder, whether you’re homeschooling or not Why your child needs to feel truly seen by you — and why that starts with feeling seen yourself What it actually means to let your child lead their own learning — and why that’s harder than it sounds Why so many homeschool moms feel like they’ve lost themselves — and how to find their way back Why you feel constantly in conflict with the way your life feels right now — and what radical acceptance actually means for your homeschool The 7 Questions Homeschool Moms Are Asking— And The Books That Answer Them: These aren’t random questions. They’re the same questions homeschool moms are asking — out loud and not out loud — every single week. 1. Why do I keep reacting the same way to my child — and is it actually about them or about me? The Road Back to You — Ian Morgan Cron & Suzanne Stabile What looks like defiance is almost always a collision between two completely different core motivations. Yours and theirs. The Enneagram helps you understand both — and once you do, everything shifts. 2. Is the way I talk to my kids making things worse — and what does healthy homeschool communication actually sound like? Nonviolent Communication — Marshall Rosenberg Not just how you speak to your kids — but how you listen to them. How you hear what’s underneath the behaviour instead of just reacting to the behaviour itself. 3. What do mentally strong homeschool moms do differently — and how do I get there? 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do — Amy Morin This one isn’t just about homeschooling. These are the personal mental habits that are quietly making your whole life harder. And homeschool moms are particularly vulnerable to several of them — because we carry so much and ask for so little help. 4. Does my child feel truly seen by me — and do I even feel seen myself? Feeling Seen — Jodi Carrington Kids don’t need us to be perfect. They need to feel seen. But how can we help our children feel seen when we ourselves have never felt truly seen? This episode goes there. Still with me? Good — because these are exactly the questions homeschool moms are asking most, and getting through four of them without flinching means you’re already doing the hard, honest work. 5. What does it actually mean to let my child lead their own learning? The Gardener and the Carpenter — Alison Gopnik A carpenter shapes wood into a specific, predetermined form. A gardener creates the conditions for growth — and then trusts what emerges. Most of us were taught to be carpenters. This book helps you become a gardener. 6. Why do I feel like I’ve lost myself in homeschooling — and how do I find my way back? Stop Losing Yourself — Teresa Wiedrick This is the question underneath so many other questions. You started this journey with such intention. And somewhere along the way — between the lesson planning and the sibling conflict and the never-ending needs of everyone around you — you lost the thread back to yourself. This episode is drawn from my own coaching work with homeschool mamas, and there is a whole course built around it. 7. Why do I feel constantly in conflict with the way my life feels right now? Radical Acceptance — Tara Brach Radical acceptance isn’t about giving up or lowering your standards. It’s about stopping the war with reality long enough to actually see it clearly. And from that place of clarity — choosing what to do next. So if any of these are questions homeschool moms are asking themselves at 2 am, take it as a sign: you’re not behind, you’re not alone, and you’re not the only one wondering. Not Sure Which of These Questions Homeschool Moms Are Asking Is Yours? If none of these seven quite fit, and you’re still asking your own version of “what’s wrong with my homeschool,” that’s exactly what the free Homeschool Overwhelm Quiz is for.

Trusting your instincts allows you to make confident decisions while staying true to your values, especially during periods of growth and uncertainty.What does progress over perfection mean?Waiting for perfect conditions often slows growth.

389: Is eating right after your workout causing digestive issues? What about "pre-workout" fuel? Is that really just a hoax from the fitness industry to sell you more stuff to consume? Today, I have Bronson Dent with me who is a fitness and wellness coach who turned carnivore after experiencing his own IBS issues that led him to where he is today. He was suffering with severe bowel issues that took over his life and was desperate to find relief. Through switching to carnivore, he got his life back within 90 days and is now sharing his story and debunking fitness myths everyone and their grandmother has been duped into following. We talk about fiber and if it's actually making constipation worse. If exercise is making your gut more inflamed, why sleep is critical for gaining muscle and tricks to getting a better night sleep without any supplements, and of course, we talk about the reason WHY most people want to lose weight and if that's really enough motivation.
