Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta are joined by Tamara Hubbard, MA, LCPC, a licensed clinical professional counselor and food-allergy parent. Together, they dig into what food allergy anxiety actually looks like in teenagers, why some teens take more risks as they get older, and what parents can do to support their teens without making things worse. What we cover in this episode is about food allergy anxiety in teens: What makes teenagers a high-risk group for food allergy reactions. Independence is increasing at the exact same time parental oversight is decreasing, and that combination creates real safety concerns. What food allergy risk-taking actually looks like. It is not always what parents expect, and some of it is just teens figuring out how to belong. Food allergy social anxiety is its own distinct experience. The fear of looking different, being a burden, or standing out can drive behavior just as much as the fear of a reaction. Why parental anxiety matters more than most parents realize. The way parents talk about food allergies often directly affects how teens handle them. How to build confidence and ownership in your teen. What to do when a teen is either too anxious or not anxious enough. *********** Made in partnership with The Allergy & Asthma Network.

Matt and Jen discuss the concept of being in the "arena" versus being a spectator or cheerleader in various aspects of life, such as business and fitness. They highlight a social media post about a U.S. senator's views on capital gains, noting the divided opinions of commenters who haven't experienced entrepreneurial risks. They emphasize the importance of personal experience and resilience, sharing their own struggles with business and health. They stress that being in the arena involves taking risks, facing challenges, and growing through failures.

A sermon for Easter 7 (May 17, 2026) Acts 1:6-14 When the apostles had come together, they asked Jesus, “Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?” He replied, “It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. While he was going and they were gazing up toward heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them. They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up toward heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day's journey away. When they had entered the city, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying, Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. All these were constantly devoting themselves to prayer, together with certain women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as his brothers.

Jeff Adamson, the athlete-turned-entrepreneur who co-founded SkipTheDishes and Neo Financial, says Canada isn't producing many new household brands because it has become too focused on managing legacy institutions instead of building new ones. He argues both the business culture and regulatory environment need a major shift—making it not just admirable but irresistible for people to take risks, build companies, and stay in Canada.This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

B2B marketing keeps asking why it can't earn the same attention as consumer brands — then keeps writing copy that reads like a product spec sheet. The problem isn't the category. It's that most enterprise marketers confuse explanation with storytelling and call the result strategy.Ryan Hammill, Creative Director at ServiceNow has built campaigns that ran post-Super Bowl and earned 99th-percentile creative effectiveness scores — not by chasing flash, but by getting ruthlessly clear on what a human being actually feels when they choose enterprise software. He makes the case that cutting the B2B bullshit isn't an aesthetic choice: it's a revenue strategy. From Idris Elba to Notorious B.I.G. to the moment Taylor Swift's kiss cut to his AWS spot, Ryan explains how humanizing invisible technology at scale actually works.Bullet PointsWhy the Fernando Machado 6-to-1 multiplier argument should change how every CMO thinks about creative risk — and why most don't let itHow ServiceNow's character-driven campaign structure borrows more from The Office than from enterprise SaaS playbooksThe brand-vs-demand false binary: what Airbnb's ad spend restructure teaches B2B companies about search efficiency and brand gravityTimestamps:0:42 Introduction & Ryan's Background1:31 From Agency to Tech: The Career Journey5:50 ServiceNow's Bold Brand Identity8:53 B2B Storytelling: Cutting Through the Jargon18:24 Risk-Taking and the Two-Way Door Mentality21:10 The AWS NFL Campaign: A Case Study26:14 AI, Buzzwords & Authentic Messaging31:39 Brand Building vs. Demand Generation38:19 The Emotional Intelligence of B2B Buyers41:18 Proudest Work & What's Next

The Entrepreneur's Studio From Athlete to Entrepreneur: Shaun White on Risk-Taking, Reinvention, and Building What's NextThree-time Olympic gold medalist Shaun White shares how he's applying an elite athlete's mindset to entrepreneurship; building new ventures and reimagining the future of snowboarding.Topics Covered: • Translating an elite performance mindset into business • Finding “white space” and building in untapped markets • Taking calculated risks and committing to long-term visionWhat do you do after you've reached the top of your sport? For Shaun White, the answer wasn't stepping away, it was building something entirely new.In this episode of The Entrepreneur's Studio, Shaun shares how his journey from Olympic champion to entrepreneur has been driven by the same mindset that fueled his success on the slopes. From relentless competitiveness to detailed visualization, he explains how those habits now shape the way he approaches business, risk, and opportunity.A key turning point in Shaun's career came when he realized that being “as good as everyone else” wasn't enough. That insight now drives his approach to entrepreneurship, finding differentiation, creating new experiences, and building where others aren't looking. Whether launching his snowboard brand Whitespace or developing the Snow League, Shaun focuses on identifying gaps in the market and filling them with intention.The conversation also explores Shaun's relationship with risk. Rather than acting impulsively, he takes a calculated approach, knowing when to push forward and when to step back. He shares how visualization, preparation, and commitment helped him succeed at the highest level in sports, and how those same principles now guide his business decisions.As Shaun transitions from individual competition to leading teams and building companies, he reflects on the importance of patience, collaboration, and long-term thinking. For him, success today isn't just about winning, it's about creating something meaningful that lasts and opens doors for the next generation.• Why differentiation—not imitation—is the key to long-term success • How visualization and preparation translate from sport to business • What it means to find and build in “white space” markets“It's not enough to be as good as everyone else. You've got to be better—you've got to have something that's different.” — Shaun WhiteResources Mentioned: Woodward Training Facility Burton Snowboards Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell Good to GreatIf you enjoyed this conversation, share this episode with someone thinking about their next chapter, whether in business, sports, or beyond.https://www.auris.io/Follow The Entrepreneur's Studio so you never miss an episode:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/Youtube: http://www.youtube.comInstagram: http://www.instagram.comThe Entrepreneur's Studio is sponsored by Auris, helping small and mid-sized businesses simplify payroll and HR with powerful tools and real human support.

Roi Ben-Yehuda was one dissertation away from finishing his PhD when he realised he didn't want what was waiting on the other side. He walked away. Then years later, settled into a good job he liked, with a new mortgage and two small babies at home, he felt that pull again and walked away from that too, right in the middle of a pandemic. Both times, the "thou shalt” voice telling him to stay on course was very loud. Both times, he ignored it. But the last one he gave himself nine months to make it work or face the consequences.In less time than that, he built a company centred around the virtue behind his "unprofessionalism". One he believes to be the source of all virtues: courage. He even has a mathematical formula: courage = power x purpose ÷ dragons. The dragons are the doubt, the fear, the inner voice that tells you the risk isn't worth it. And his whole work is about shrinking them — not by ignoring them, but by naming them, auditing them, and asking one simple question: what is the cost of doing nothing?He also makes the case that we celebrate courage only when it works out. And that this is exactly how companies train people out of trying.Links to learn more about Roi Ben-Yehuda:LinkedInWebsiteAny thoughts?

Over the past three decades, Matthew McConaughey has starred in more than 50 films, won an Academy Award for Dallas Buyers Club, delivered an Emmy-nominated performance in True Detective and topped bestseller lists with his memoir, Greenlights, but he's still chasing something more meaningful. In his latest project, The Lost Bus, he tells the gripping true story of a school bus driver who risked everything to save 23 children during the 2018 Camp Fire, California's deadliest wildfire. McConaughey sits down with Willie Geist to reflect on acting alongside his teenage son Levi and his 93-year-old mother in the film and how the project deepened his perspective on fatherhood, legacy, and what really matters. He also discusses his new book Poems & Prayers, the power of belief in a cynical world, and why risk-taking has defined his career. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Terrie Moffitt, University Professor at Duke University. They explore the deep link between mental health, self-control, and the pace of biological aging, showing how early-life mental disorders can shape health decades later.Terrie describes her work with the decades-long Dunedin study, which tracks health from birth through midlife. She explains how people age at different rates, even when born in the same year and place, and how the “pace of aging” can be measured using biomarkers. Terrie shares that fast agers show early signs of physical and cognitive decline, while those with strong self-control tend to experience better health, stronger relationships, and greater financial stability as they grow older.The discussion reveals that treating mental health issues early in life could prevent chronic diseases and slow aging itself. Terrie makes a strong case for taking mental health seriously, both as prevention and as a path to a longer, healthier life. Guest-at-a-Glance

Pisces season is the pre-beginning of the zodiac year. It is the liminal space before Aries, when things are still forming, dissolving, clarifying, and choosing. In this episode, I walk through what Pisces season tends to stir up, and why this particular Pisces season matters in a bigger, longer arc.The headline is the Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries (Feb 20). We have been building toward this since last summer. Neptune brings the dream, the vision, the imagination. Saturn brings the structure, the commitment, the foundation that makes something real. I talk about how I'm working with it in practice: writing it down, making a plan, building scaffolding, and taking tangible steps so the vision actually has somewhere to land.From there, we move into the rest of Pisces season's timeline: eclipse season, Mercury retrograde in Pisces, Mars entering Pisces, and the Virgo lunar eclipse that highlights the Pisces–Virgo polarity (oneness vs discernment, spirituality vs practicality, intuition vs the calendar). I close with the pivot point that changes the temperature entirely: March 20, the astrological new year, when the Sun enters Aries and Mercury stations direct, lighting up one of the most Aries-activated days I have ever seen on a chart.Episode timestamps00:00 Pisces Season Begins: Big Transits, Eclipses & the ‘Grand Finale' Energy00:48 What Pisces Really Means: Endings, Pre-Birth, Purpose & Interconnectedness03:11 Saturn–Neptune at 0° Aries: Turning Dreams Into Reality (How to Work With It)06:03 Practical Manifestation Tips: Lists, Plans, and Building Saturn Scaffolding09:10 Key Dates Kick Off: Mars–Chiron + Venus Trine Jupiter (Healing Meets Ease)12:36 Mercury Retrograde in Pisces: Shadow Clues, Re-words, and Water-Sign Caution14:58 Feb 27 Power Day: Mars Square Uranus + Sun Conj North Node + Mercury Conj Venus19:10 Mars Enters Pisces: Motivation in the Mist & Acting With Compassion22:24 March 3 Lunar Eclipse in Virgo: Pisces vs Virgo, Discernment, and Jupiter Release Valve27:33 Eclipse Family Themes: Looking Up Bernadette Brady's Take28:07 Mercury Retrograde + Eclipse Season Wrap-Up: Slow Down & Communicate29:55 Early March Sweet Spots: Venus–Uranus & Sun–Jupiter Good Vibes31:16 Venus Enters Aries: Passion, Risk-Taking & Relationship Heat32:35 March 7–8 Clarity & Magnetism: Mercury Cazimi + Saturn–Neptune Activation35:24 Transformation & Forward Motion: Venus–Pluto + Jupiter Stations Direct38:24 Fated Action Points: Mars–North Node & Mercury–Mars During Retrograde39:45 March 18–19 Tension, Breakthroughs & Healing Closure (Chiron–Eris)42:58 Astrological New Year Ignition: Sun into Aries + Mercury Direct45:45 Chart Rundown & The Most Aries Day Ever: 7 Planets in Aries (March 20)50:14 Final Takeaways: Choosing the First Step Into Your New IdentityWork with meJournée (membership): Join hereCosmic Consult (1:1): Book here — we'll look at what's being activated in your chart and map the next right stepWhere to find mecosmicmoves.com

Chuck Eesley, a professor of management science and engineering, studies entrepreneurship across diverse contexts – from refugee entrepreneurs in Uganda to semiconductor startups navigating U.S.-China economic policy. His research on recent export controls revealed a counterintuitive outcome: Rather than solely strengthening U.S. semiconductor innovation, these policies accelerated Chinese investment in its own domestic chip industry, boosting startups there as much as – or more than – here. This finding underscores how global technology markets are deeply interconnected: Barriers can produce unintended consequences that accelerate innovation abroad rather than protecting it at home. Open technology trade and investment create larger markets for American innovations, strengthen collaborative partnerships, and demonstrate that interconnected markets drive progress for all participants. “Entrepreneurial talent exists everywhere,” Eesley tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Keith Milner. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to inspire aspiring entrepreneurs by sharing Keith Milner’s journey from corporate America to entrepreneurship. It emphasizes discipline, leadership, risk-taking, and strategies for building generational wealth, particularly for underrepresented communities. Key Takeaways Foundational Lessons from Childhood Growing up in a disciplined, hardworking family taught Keith accountability, integrity, and the principle of choices and consequences. Education was highly valued in his household, shaping his drive for success. Corporate vs. Entrepreneurial Mindset Corporate careers can feel secure but are often riskier because you lack control over your destiny. Entrepreneurship offers greater control and potential for generational wealth. Leadership and Teamwork Lessons from sports—teamwork, discipline, and leadership—translate directly into business success. Establishing a common goal and coaching employees is crucial, but underperformers must eventually be let go. Risk and Value Many African-Americans view entrepreneurship as risky, but Keith argues it’s less risky than employment in an at-will state. Success depends on creating value that customers are willing to pay for. Franchising Journey Relationships opened doors to Jersey Mike’s franchise ownership. Entrepreneurship requires hands-on involvement—Keith still works in his stores when needed. Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs Adopt a growth mindset and positive attitude. Follow the Five P’s: Plan, Prepare, Produce, Pivot, Persevere. Understand that entrepreneurship is a daily grind—“Every morning in the jungle, the lion wakes up running.” Notable Quotes On discipline and accountability:“If you said you were going to do something, you did it. If you were told to do something, you got it done.” On choices:“We make choices every day, and if you don’t make the right choice, there are consequences.” On entrepreneurship vs. employment:“Entrepreneurship and small business ownership is the best way to create generational wealth.” On leadership:“There are very few things in life you can do alone. You need people, you need a team.” On success formula:“You control the inputs, and therefore you can charge what you want—as long as you generate enough value.” On entrepreneurial mindset:“Plan, Prepare, Produce, Pivot, Persevere.” Swahili proverb:“Every morning in the jungle, the lion wakes up running… The question becomes, who’s going to run the fastest?” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HEADLINE: Lessons from the Swiss National Bank: Risk-Taking, Exchange Rates, and Fiscal Responsibility GUEST NAME: John Cochrane SUMMARY: Economist John Cochrane analyzes the Swiss National Bank (SNB), noting it differs greatly from the US Federal Reserve by investing heavily in foreign stocks and bonds to manage the Swiss franc's exchange rate. The SNB's massive balance sheet carries risks accepted by Swiss taxpayers and the Cantons. Switzerland, being fiscally responsible (running no budget deficits), finds central banking easier. Cochrane advises that the US Fed should not be buying stocks or venturing into fiscal policy. 1890 SWISS

Over the past three decades, Matthew McConaughey has starred in more than 50 films, won an Academy Award for Dallas Buyers Club, delivered an Emmy-nominated performance in True Detective and topped bestseller lists with his memoir, Greenlights, but he's still chasing something more meaningful. In his latest project, The Lost Bus, he tells the gripping true story of a school bus driver who risked everything to save 23 children during the 2018 Camp Fire, California's deadliest wildfire. McConaughey sits down with Willie Geist to reflect on acting alongside his teenage son Levi and his 93-year-old mother in the film and how the project deepened his perspective on fatherhood, legacy, and what really matters. He also discusses his new book Poems & Prayers, the power of belief in a cynical world, and why risk-taking has defined his career. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
