Scarcity mindset doesn't always look like clutter piling up on the counter. Sometimes it shows up in the old jeans we keep “just in case,” the items we paid good money for but no longer use, or the way we white-knuckle our finances and schedules out of fear of not having enough. In this episode, I unpack what scarcity mindset really is, why it forms, and how it quietly influences our decisions around our homes, and our time. We'll talk about the “logical” gremlin thoughts that keep us stuck, the nervous system's role in holding on, and how faith and fear often get tangled together without us realizing it. Through Scripture and practical reflection, I'll help you begin to discern what's rooted in wisdom versus what's rooted in fear — and how letting go can be a step of trust, not loss. If you've ever felt uneasy releasing things, control, or old patterns, I am praying this conversation will meet you right where you are.

Rosita had the clients, the credibility, and years of mindset work—but underneath, her body was still gripping. Scarcity, competition, and the fear of losing clients kept her over-controlling her growth. In this episode, Rosita shares how going all in on Body Talk shifted everything. By working with her body—not just her mind—she released competition, stopped gatekeeping her work, and began leading collectively. Through changes in posture, nervous system response, and identity, she unlocked deeper conviction, ease, and momentum, resulting in her biggest month yet. This conversation reveals what quantum leaps actually require: embodied trust, uncomfortable decisions, and the willingness to lead before it feels safe. If you've done the work but still feel a subtle grip around your next level, this episode will land.JOIN BODY TALK HERE

She breaks down three common lies (performing growth instead of doing it, living in “someday,” and performing for an audience) and offers steps to get honest: a reality-check person, a calendar/bank audit, and saying the true thing out loud.

Episode Summary:What happens when you stop chasing trends and start trusting conviction? In this episode, Miles Witt Boyer and Jared Mark Fincher sit down with educator and business coach Nathan Chanski for a grounded conversation about building a sustainable creative business without getting dragged around by the industry's panic cycles. This is not a gear talk. It is about belief, leadership, clarity, and learning how to speak what you actually know.What We Talk About:• How Miles and Jared work together as best friends and creative partners• Why Nathan's education feels different because it comes from lived experience, not recycled theory• The tension between hustle culture and healthy urgency, especially around inquiry response time• Why pricing matters, but is rarely the only thing holding someone back• The yearly industry loop of “inquiries are down” and how fear reinforces fear• Trends that come and go: film, editing styles, AI panic, and why none of them fix the fundamentals• Preparing for big stages and fighting the deeper version of imposter syndrome: “Is what I have to say important enough?”• Nathan's mindset shift: stop trying to serve everyone, serve the one person who needs to hear it• Navigating platform pressure, criticism, and why you do not need to speak on what you do not understand• Why in person connection still matters in an online world and how it grounds leadersKey Quotes:“I'm not trying to impress everyone. I'm trying to help someone.”“Scarcity is a loop. Abundance is an arc.”“Not saying something isn't saying something. It's just not saying something.”“Stay your narrow road. Trends come and go.”Aftercast:In the Aftercast, Nathan goes practical and shares a tangible takeaway for photographers inside the PHOTOCO community, including how to think about business muscles beyond pricing and what actually moves the needle when inquiries feel slow.

Update: As of February 21, 2026, the Trump administration now says they will set the new "Global Tariff" rate at 15% (not 10%), maintaining the same effective rate on Switzerland, at least for 150 days. On this episode, we unpack breaking news that sent shockwaves through the watch world: the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Trump-era emergency tariffs, instantly voiding the recent 15% levy on Swiss watches. We explain what this actually means for collectors and retailers, why refunds remain a massive open question, and why—despite the ruling—don't expect watch prices to suddenly drop. Between looming replacement tariffs, a weakening dollar, and ongoing currency pressure against the Swiss franc, volatility is far from over. We then dive into COSC's newly announced “Excellence" chronometer standard and ask the uncomfortable question: is this meaningful progress, or a defensive half-measure against METAS? We break down how the new accuracy benchmarks compare, why third-party certification still matters culturally, and how ever-stricter chronometer claims may be setting unrealistic expectations for mechanical watches that have to survive real life on the wrist. Finally, we look at Audemars Piguet's remarkable 2025 performance—up 10% in a brutal market—and what's driving it: massive price increases, a shift toward high complications, boutique-only distribution, and a growing focus on lifetime customer value. We also explore AP's evolving brand strategy under new leadership, the push toward experiential retail, and why the very clients AP wants most may have the least patience for its increasingly gated buying process. It's a wide-ranging conversation about tariffs, accuracy, and how modern luxury watch brands are reshaping their futures. Openwork is a weekly podcast about how the watch industry actually works. An unfiltered look behind the scenes — no press releases, no hype, and no sponsored takes. Hosted by Asher Rapkin and Gabe Reilly, co-founders of Collective Horology.

In this Sunday Solo, Sarah explores “the long story”—the idea that our lives are part of a vast web of interconnection across people, lifetimes, timelines, and dimensions. She shares why zooming out can be genuinely soothing (your anxiety stays valid… it just gets smaller), then offers personal stories that cracked open her trust in reincarnation: a striking synchronicity thread featuring Robert Redford, and her child's vivid memories of an “old dad.” Sarah also explains how she experiences the Akashic Records—less like immediate, verifiable proof and more like resonance, pattern recognition, and a deep felt sense of being seen without judgment. The episode closes with an invitation: try shifting perspective into the long story, and share your own experiences.   Keywords + topics: Medium Curious Podcast, Sarah solo, long story, zooming out of anxiety, reincarnation, past lives, soul groups, Akashic Records, synchronicities, spiritual comfort, metaphysical, consciousness, intuition, mediumship, Perdita Finn, Jim Tucker, Linda Howe, pathway prayer. Key Takeaways Perspective is medicine. Zooming out doesn't invalidate anxiety—it helps it stop running the whole show. Follow the thread. Synchronicities can be “breadcrumb trails” that build meaning over minutes, weeks… or lifetimes. Kids sometimes say the quiet part out loud. Past-life-style memories (whether you interpret them literally or symbolically) can reveal how mysterious consciousness is. Akashic Records = resonance over receipts. For Sarah, the records feel less like “proof” and more like pattern, knowing, and deep compassion. The long story reduces pressure. If love and learning continue, you don't have to perfect everything in one lifetime. Scarcity shifts with consciousness. A change in mindset—from separation to “one with the cosmos”—can change the felt experience of need.   “When you're losing yourself, who you are, go sit under a tree.”

Epstein List Meltdown, RFK & Kid Rock's “Bro Workout,” and NYC's Print-Money Housing Plan Dan and Corey riff on the awkwardly named “12 day war” and the possibility of another Iran conflict, arguing U.S. war cycles and shifting goalposts (from nukes to missiles/protests) mirror past regime-change disasters like Libya, Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. They spend time on Epstein, insisting elites across both parties are implicated, questioning why there's no major public uprising, and describing how internet “fog” and clips like the Leslie Wexner deposition hot-mic muddy real accountability. Comedy bits include Dan's vivid dream about arranging a Jake Paul–sanctioned fight with Tim Pool, plus a long roast of an RFK Jr./Kid Rock workout video. They mock AOC's Munich foreign-policy “word salad,” praise Tim Burchett's anti-DOJ/uniparty rant, and hammer NYC socialist-style housing proposals (government-funded rent, printing money), warning rent caps and higher property taxes lead to slums. The episode closes by tying inflation to war spending (via a Dave Smith clip) and criticizing Democrats for not releasing Epstein files or pursuing indictments sooner. 00:00 Welcome to Libservative: War Jokes & the ‘12-Day War' Name 02:02 This Week's Rundown: AOC, Aliens, Epstein Fallout & More 02:59 Cutting Back on Booze = Vivid Dreams (Jake Paul vs Tim Pool) 06:36 RFK Jr + Kid Rock's ‘Ultra-Gay' Workout Video Breakdown 11:17 Epstein List: Why No Mass Protests & Why ‘It's All of Them' 18:11 Wexner Deposition Hot Mic & How the Internet Warps Everything 23:50 Accountability Crisis: Monarchy vs ‘Republic, If You Can Keep It' 28:50 DC Is One Party: Shutdown Votes, Schumer/Pelosi, and the Massey Feud 34:47 Iran War Watch: Mission Accomplished Theater & Moving Goalposts 41:08 Regime Change Blowback: Libya, Iraq, Syria as Warnings 42:45 War Isn't a Marvel Movie: The Real Costs of “Quick” Strikes 45:39 Ron Paul Was Right: Predictable Middle East Outcomes & Inflation at Home 46:56 Escalation Signals: Base Evacuations, Military Assets, and Israel's Endgame 49:10 “They Want to Be Freed” Myth: Rally-'Round-the-Flag & Speaking for Other Nations 55:53 From Foreign Wars to Domestic Freedom: Ali, Hampton, MLK & Class vs Race 01:04:43 Pivot to NYC Politics: Zoran Mamdani's Housing Plan Under the Microscope 01:07:18 ‘Housing Is a Right'?

After circling the theme for a long time, we finally found the right entry point: scarcity. Scarcity here doesn't only refer to economic downturns — Hollywood strikes, collapsing box office numbers, or the cost-of-living crisis. It points to something deeper: a collective psychological state in which the imagination of a better future has eroded. When confidence disappears, desire curdles into resentment, sarcasm, and anger. We talk about a Korean film in which an unemployed man systemically eliminates his competitors just to survive. We discuss the collapse of Hollywood's liberal narrative framework. We explore why Gen Z no longer believes in Harry Potter–style heroism. In an era defined by polarization, atomization, and algorithmic manipulation, how do we find an antidote? Perhaps the answer lies in doing things that feel inefficient but concrete — bringing vegetables to a neighbor, telling a story slowly and carefully. 【时间轴 The When】 00:00 什么是“匮乏感”？它不只是缺钱，而是对未来失去信心。当希望消失，欲望会转化为愤怒和犬儒。 05:30 从《无路可逃》和《爱丁顿》说起。当资源紧缩，他人变成路障。传统“供养者”男性叙事在现代系统中崩塌。 12:11 自由主义叙事开始失效。观众厌倦好莱坞的说教，《The Studio》揭示的是文化工业的瘫痪与精英脱节。 23:36 代际断裂。为什么 Gen Z 对《哈利波特》那种九十年代式的乐观主义越来越无感，Gen Z 成长于极化与停滞之中，不再相信善恶分明的世界。 36:00 我们开始怀旧：布拉德·皮特和《F1》是一个典型例子，电影构建了一个没有政治争议、只有输赢规则的世界。传统男性气概重新被召唤。你爹还是你爹。这种叙事满足了人们对确定性的渴望，也提供了一种逃避复杂现实的方式。 47:50 性别角色回潮。《爱情盲选》和 tradwife 现象反映了在极化时代中对安全感的表演式追寻。 55: 50 AI 并未带来连接，反而放大分裂，我们开始怀疑“科技救世”的神话。《神奇四侠》中的技术乐观主义不复存在。 1:23:30 西方社会 生活成本危机加剧匮乏感。算法利用焦虑制造争吵，社交网络赛博巴尔干化是什么？ 1:35:30 结语 拒绝犬儒，从具体行动开始。真实的连接或许是对抗虚无的唯一方式。 00:00 What is “scarcity”? It's not just financial lack, but a loss of faith in the future. When hope disappears, desire turns into anger and cynicism. 05:30 We begin with No Other Choice and Eddington. As resources shrink, other people become obstacles. The traditional male “provider” narrative collapses within the modern system. 12:11 The liberal narrative loses its grip. Audiences are exhausted by Hollywood moralizing. The Studio exposes paralysis within the cultural industry and its detachment from ordinary life. 23:36 A generational rupture. Why Gen Z no longer connects with 1990s optimism like Harry Potter. Raised amid polarization and stagnation, they no longer believe in a morally clear world. 36:00 We turn to nostalgia. Brad Pitt and F1 serve as a key example. The film constructs a world without political conflict — only winners and losers. Traditional masculinity is revived. “Daddy is still daddy.” It satisfies a longing for certainty and offers escape from complexity. 47:50 The return of gender roles. Love Is Blind and the tradwife phenomenon reflect a performative search for safety in a polarized age. 55:50 AI did not bring connection; it amplified division. We begin to question the myth of technological salvation. The technological optimism of Fantastic Four no longer holds. 1:23:30 The Western cost-of-living crisis deepens scarcity. Algorithms exploit anxiety and manufacture endless conflict. What does cyber-Balkanization of social networks mean? 1:35:30 Conclusion. Reject cynicism and begin with concrete action. Real human connection may be the only antidote to nihilism. 【拓展链接 The Links】 阿花： Beyond the Machine: Creative agency in the AI landscape Personal canon by Celine Nguyen Remaking Liberalism: The Past, Present, and Future of Freedom by Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson 配图：从1998年开始的价格变化 影视/剧集： 电影《无路可逃》(No Other Choice / The AX) 电影《爱丁顿》(Eddington) 电影《F1》 电影《神奇四侠》(Fantastic 4) 剧集《The Studio》 真人秀《爱情盲选》(Love is Blind) 剧集《Abbott Elementary》 书籍/人物/概念： Daron Acemoglu (经济学家) Hanif Abdurraqib (作家/诗人) Tradwife (传统家庭主妇风潮) Cyber-Balkanization (赛博巴尔干化) Identity Politics (身份政治) 【疲惫红书 CyberRed】 除了播客以外，疲惫娇娃的几个女的在小红书上开了官方账号，我们会不定期发布【疲惫在读】、【疲惫在看】、【疲惫旅行】、【疲惫Vlog】等等更加轻盈、好玩、实验性质的内容。如果你想知道除了播客以外我们在关注什么，快来小红书评论区和我们互动。 Apart from the podcast, we have set up an official account on Xiaohongshu.

As a fundraising consultant and coach, Perry helps nonprofits develop strategies, systems, and relationships to improve their fundraising yield. She believes in creating environments that nurture all gifts - time, talent, treasure, testimony, and ties - honoring how each person is uniquely suited to make a difference within their community. Key Takeaways:Donors are partners who bring time, talent, treasure, testimony, and ties. When relationships are rooted in shared values and trust, financial support follows naturally. Sustainable fundraising honors the whole person rather than treating giving as a transaction.Scarcity culture fuels burnout, fear, and reactive decision-making. An abundance mindset focuses on transformation, sustainability, and long-term impact. Organizations that move beyond survival thinking create healthier outcomes for both staff and communities.Burnout drains capacity, while moral injury erodes trust and integrity. Misalignment between stated values and lived behavior is a common source of harm. Naming these dynamics is the first step toward healing individuals and institutions.True alignment requires that daily actions reflect the organization's declared values. Healthy conflict and psychological safety strengthen culture more than surface-level niceness. Leadership grounded in empathy and the Platinum Rule fosters belonging and lasting engagement. “People who show up to give, they often don't just want to write a check. They want to do whatever they can to help a cause that means something to them.” “Let's stop flattening people. Let's treat volunteers and donors with the same level of respect. Let's not just keep putting money on this pedestal.” “We want to treat people the way they want to be treated. We want to honor them. We want to acknowledge them. We don't want to just dismiss them and act like our way is the only way.”- Perry Radford Reach out to Perry Radford at:Website: radphilanthropy.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/perryradford/    Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

This is the third episode. The last in a three-part series. My Place, My Sovereignty. Recorded at the Eco Nomic Futures Summit. A gathering about systems—but really about people. About land. About new economies. I'm Tate Chamberlin. In this episode, I'm joined by Ruben Hernandes and Miles Richardson. The conversation starts with a simple idea that turns out not to be simple at all: knowing where you come from. For some people, lineage is clear. Stories passed down. Names remembered. Teachings held—who we are, what we stand for, where we belong. That clarity is a kind of privilege. From there, the story widens. We talk about building Indigenous economies—not as theory, but as relationship. To people. To place. To the earth itself. There's talk of sovereignty. Of sovereign wealth. Because economic activity matters. We all need it. But the system we're living inside now is built on something else—monetary capital. Scarcity. The idea that there's never enough. What Indigenous communities offer is a different application altogether. An economy rooted in reciprocity. In looking after each other. In the understanding that we're all in this together. And that idea scales up—to something much bigger. A world sense. A human challenge. Because sovereignty, in the end, isn't just about control. It's about responsibility. Stay with us.

In this episode, we dive into the "Abundance Era," a major shift where the supply of content has far outpaced human demand. We explore the rise of "AI slop" flooding our feeds, from 2 billion-view monkey channels to unhinged AI VTubers making $400,000 a month. As AI becomes indistinguishable from human creators, we discuss the looming threat to authenticity and the individual creator. We break down real-world examples, including digital twins of MrBeast and Snoop Dogg, and a "lawyer" channel rivaling Legal Eagle. To help you survive this wave, we outline two paths: the McDonald's-style "Scale" model and the Rolex-style "Scarcity" model. We discuss why building deep connections and IRL experiences may be the only way to defend your brand against infinite slop. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Send a textIn the mitzvah of מעשר בהמה, the animals pass one by one under the shepherd's rod — counted slowly, deliberately: one, two, three… until the tenth is designated for Hashem.A vintage Chassidic insight teaches something powerful: you can only give the tenth after you've counted the nine.When a person pauses to count what he has — his blessings, his resources, his abilities — giving no longer feels like loss. It feels natural. It feels possible. Generosity becomes lighter because it flows from awareness, not fear.Scarcity tightens the hand. Gratitude opens it.And there is something even deeper.When we make someone else happy — when we give, uplift, encourage, support — we are not only filling their cup. We are expanding our own.Giving is not subtraction. It is circulation.When we count what we have, we give more easily. And when we give more easily, Heaven responds in kind.The tenth is not a loss. It is the beginning of blessing.Support the show

Show Notes In this episode of Develop This!, Dennis Fraise welcomes Andrew Ratchford, Vice President at Site Selection Group, for a wide-ranging conversation on how the role of economic developers is rapidly expanding—and what that means for communities trying to compete for investment and jobs. As a proud partner of the Site Selectors Guild, Develop This! continues its mission of connecting economic developers with the site selection profession. This episode reflects that shared commitment: helping communities better understand how projects are evaluated and what it truly takes to deliver results. Andrew explains how the pandemic accelerated a shift away from traditional economic development toward a more holistic model—one that now includes housing, childcare, workforce readiness, placemaking, sustainability, and risk management as essential components of successful projects. Rather than simply providing data and incentives, communities are now judged on their ability to execute: align stakeholders, solve infrastructure challenges, and create environments where companies and talent want to stay. Key Takeaways Economic developers' roles are expanding far beyond traditional business attraction The pandemic reshaped priorities, forcing a stronger focus on supporting existing businesses Communities are evaluated on outcomes, not just information Housing and childcare have become critical site selection factors Transportation and infrastructure gaps can derail projects if not addressed early Stakeholder alignment is essential for project success Scarcity of resources is driving innovation in economic development strategies Placemaking is key to attracting and retaining talent Workforce strategies must evolve with changing industry needs Sustainability and risk management now play a central role in project evaluations About Andrew Ratchford Andrew Ratchford is Vice President at Site Selection Group, where he specializes in evaluating sites and infrastructure for developability, capacity, and long-term improvement potential. He manages complex requests for information (RFIs), coordinates site visits with clients and community partners, and develops strategic improvement plans to help communities become more investment-ready. Before joining Site Selection Group, Andrew built a diverse real estate and planning background across the nonprofit, public, and private sectors. His experience includes: Nonprofit housing development managing federal grants and affordable housing projects Community and regional planning for Greenville County, South Carolina Multifamily development with Graycliff Capital Partners Site selection advisory services with Global Location Strategies With more than 13 years of experience, Andrew now focuses primarily on industrial assets and infrastructure, with a special interest in energy and brownfield redevelopment. His client work has included organizations such as Nacero, Georgia Pacific, Tennessee Valley Authority, Wisconsin Economic Development, CSX Railroad, BNSF Railroad, and Hoosier Energy. Andrew holds an MBA from Clemson University and a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies from North Greenville University. He is skilled in Excel, PowerPoint, GIS platforms, and PowerBI. Outside of work, Andrew enjoys playing electric and bass guitar, hiking, traveling, cheering on Clemson football, and perfecting his lawn care game while spending time outdoors with his wife, two children, and their dog.  

Send a textA rapper in a Honda Civic just outplayed the internet. We break down how J. Cole's trunk-sold CDs, city-to-city drop-ins, and breadcrumb clues turned casual listeners into dedicated hunters—and why more than 200,000 people still crushed a single presale queue. The story isn't just hype; it's a blueprint for connection in a noisy era. When an artist hints this might be the last “J. Cole” album for a while and then shows up in person, the stakes change. Scarcity turns into urgency, and presence becomes the product.We dig into the album's grip and a tantalizing what-if: Cole bar-for-bar over outside producers like Alchemist and 9th Wonder. Would a fully external soundscape unlock a new chapter? The conversation widens into the Big Three debate, where craft, persona, and promotion all collide. Cole's rollout didn't chase spectacle—it built trust—while still driving record physical sales and impossible queues. We swap stories from the field, including a near-miss sighting tracked with Google Lens, and the white-knuckle hunt for tickets, VIP shock included.Culture never sits still, so we push further. Jill Scott's new album shines, Floetry's reunion sparks nostalgia questions, and a left turn to Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) reminds us why some worlds never age: strong stakes, moral weight, and style that still punches. We also unpack the latest streaming shuffle with Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. content sliding to Tubi, plus a spirited tier list of game franchises—Fallout, Mass Effect, The Sims, Dragon Age, Wolfenstein, Halo, The Witcher—to test what truly endures. Hit play for a fast, thoughtful ride through music, fandom, and the mechanics of staying power. If this run is Cole's last lap for a while, it's a masterclass in how to finish strong.

George Wright III records from the Board of Advisors Mastermind at the Ritz-Carlton in Las Colinas, Texas, sharing Prosperity Pillar #6: “I create an attitude of abundance.” He explains that abundance is created, not waited for, and that it begins before results through how you think, decide, and show up. Abundance is framed as perspective options, opportunity, energy, and confidence, while scarcity focuses on “not enough” and limitations. He encourages listeners to notice whether their questions and decisions are fear-based or creation- and faith-based, emphasizing that abundance is a decision made in advance of outcomes. He highlights gratitude as a disciplined practice that trains the mind to see opportunities “abundance in motion” and links abundance with personal responsibility rather than blame. Practical prompts include asking each morning what you can create, choosing confidence over fear, giving value without expectation, and investing time in learning.00:41 Prosperity Pillar #6: Create an Attitude of Abundance00:57 Abundance Starts Before Results: What It Really Means01:32 Scarcity vs. Abundance: The Filter Shaping Your Life02:43 Abundance Is a Decision: Choose Faith Over Fear03:29 Gratitude as a Discipline: Abundance in Motion04:12 Responsibility & Relationships: Living Abundance in Every Area04:51 Practical Ways to Practice Abundance This WeekThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

Is your interior design business feeling stuck, plateaued, or slower than you know it should be? In this episode, we unpack the real reasons talented, driven designers aren't seeing the growth they deserve—and it's not about needing a rebrand, a bigger budget, or a viral moment. It's about the invisible beliefs quietly shaping pricing, marketing, client experience, and results. Melissa shares the mindset shifts that separate six- and seven-figure designers from those spinning their wheels. From scarcity thinking and undercharging to trying to serve everyone and shrinking ambition, this conversation is a powerful reset. If growth has stalled, it's time to flip the switch, think bigger, and take bold, strategic action to build true Design Business Freedom. In this episode, you'll hear: (02:00) Scarcity thinking as invisible handcuffs—and why it's just a lens, not a law shaping your design business growth. (04:12) The myth of "it takes money to make money" and what really fuels profitable interior design success: clarity, courage, and consistency. (08:44) Why trying to serve everyone is the fastest path to no profit—and how defining who emotionally values your work transforms your marketing. (12:54) The role of burning ambition in building a six- or seven-figure design firm—and why shrinking your vision keeps you stuck. (20:40) The hard truth about expecting new results from old habits—and the strategic shifts required for real momentum. (22:49) Five powerful mindset and marketing shifts to reignite growth and position your brilliance in the marketplace. You're invited to The Designer Profit Intensive, a one day, in person, workshop at HPMKT, to redefine your business success with a rate restructure, custom marketing plan to capture your ideal clients organically, and proven design discovery to capture those same clients and deliver a remarkable design experience guaranteed.

In today's episode, we sat down with Stefanie Michele for a deeply honest, compassionate conversation about binge eating, body image, nervous system regulation, and what it really means to heal from the inside out. Stefanie shares her personal journey through 25 years of disordered eating - restriction, bingeing, orthorexia, bulimia, and anorexia - and how she found true recovery at 40. Her story alone is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, even when it feels unimaginable.We go far beyond food rules and willpower and into the nervous system, emotional regulation, trauma, and self-trust. We talk about why binge eating is rooted in scarcity (not lack of discipline), how physiology has to come before mindset work, and why shame keeps people stuck.This episode is for anyone who feels broken, out of control around food, or exhausted from fighting their body - and is ready for a more peaceful, sustainable way forward. If you've ever thought, “Why do I do this?” or “What's wrong with me?” - this conversation will help you see that nothing is wrong with you at all.“Binge eating is not a disorder of gluttony. It's a disorder of scarcity.”- Stefanie Michele“When we don't understand why we behave the way we do, we assume we're broken.”- Stefanie MicheleThis week on Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:Why binge eating feels like a “hijacking” of the body—and how it differs from overeatingHow chronic dieting, restriction, and food rules disregulate the nervous systemThe role of physiology (adequate food, carbs, movement) in emotional regulationWhy shame and self-criticism actually fuel binge–restrict cyclesHow emotional suppression (like unexpressed anger) can drive binge eatingWhat it really means to have a regulated nervous system (hint: it's not being calm all the time)How social media imagery impacts body image - and why curating your feed mattersPractical examples of using somatic tools to feel emotions without getting stuck Connect with Stefanie Michele:I am Stefanie Michele WebsiteI am Stefanie Michele InstagramI am Stefanie Michele SubstackFull But Not Finished Podcast - SpotifyFull But Not Finished Podcast - Apple PodcastsThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

Scarcity is when we are focused on the things we do not have. Abundance is when we are focused on the things we already have. This meditation hopes to help the meditator re-focus on the abundance we already have in our life. One breath at a time.

Reference Material for the Course: The speakers briefly discussed related literature, with Jevon Perra mentioning Ken Wapnick's commentary as a great resource, identifying them as the original editor. They also agreed that the book The Disappearance of the Universe is an amazing starting point for anyone engaging with the material, as it provides a valuable take on the course's concepts.Transition to the Lesson on Honesty: Jevon Perra introduced the current lesson from the Manual for Teachers, focusing on the topic of honesty, following the previous section on the development of trust. The conversation began with the principle that all other desirable traits rest on trust, allowing one to see the value in honesty.Scarcity and Trust: Jevon Perra related the concept of trust to personal struggles, specifically describing falling into "scarcity death loops" where they feel the need to constantly work and achieve to ensure things will be okay. This activity is viewed as a source of separation and anxiety, which Brian Genovese resonated with, sharing a similar tendency toward self-torture despite achieving success.Honesty as Consistency and Integrity: The speakers defined honesty as consistency, meaning there is no conflict between what one says, thinks, or does, and no word or thought opposes another. Jevon Perra connected this definition to the concept of integrity, using the analogy of structural integrity in construction to illustrate being aligned and capable of handling stress.Integrity in Personal and Business Conduct: The discussion explored how integrity, or internal alignment, could exist even in people who are unpleasant, as illustrated by Brian Genovese's anecdote about their grandfather's practice of expressing negative thoughts to prevent health issues. Jevon Perra extended this idea to business, noting the importance of clear intentions, even when they are exploitative, contrasting this with dishonest business practices like undisclosed loan points.Ethics, Morality, and Non-Dualism: Jevon Perra contrasted ethics and morality—which are defined by rules for being a "good person" that change over time and place—with a non-dual perspective, which posits there is only one game and one player. In this non-dual view, the apparent universe requires roles like "takers" and "givers" for the drama game to exist, chosen by consciousness itself.Honesty with Self and the Illusion of Separation: Jevon Perra returned to the idea of honesty being self-deception, which is the root of conflict and anxiety when one's actions contradict their stated trust in a higher power. The belief in one's separate body and the resultant fear of death or scarcity is what causes suffering, although the true self is eternal.The Mind of God and the "Mad Idea" of Separation: Jevon Perra further detailed the non-dual concept of consciousness projecting the universe as a "step-down" of pure power, allowing for the experience of being a separate person. This separation originated from the "crazy mad idea" in the mind of God about what it would be like to not be one, leading to the projection of guilt, sin, and death.Contentment Through Acceptance and Trust: The final segment focused on achieving contentment by accepting life exactly as it is, trusting that it is what the true self or God desires. Jevon Perra argued that true contentment comes from letting go of striving and desire, which allows one to change the entire world because the world is a projection of the one mind.

In this episode Houston legend Mike D — the man many call the original King of Lean — unpacks the true story behind codeine culture in the American South. Before “lean” was a mainstream rap flex… before double cups and purple memes… there was a street-level hustle that changed Houston forever. Mike D breaks down how promethazine with codeine went from a quiet substitute for heroin to a full-blown cultural phenomenon — influencing DJ Screw, the Screwed Up Click, and icons like Pimp C, Bun B, and Lil Wayne. What started as something passed around on the corner turned into an underground empire moving thousands of dollars a day — long before law enforcement even understood what was happening. In this interview, we cover: * How Mike D became Houston's go-to supplier * The birth of “drank” culture inside DJ Screw's house * The economics of the codeine black market * Street wars between Houston neighborhoods * Texas prison brutality and plantation-style incarceration * The real story behind Pimp C's death * Addiction, droughts, and what happens when supply dries up * How music and drugs fed off each other to build a movement This isn't just a drug story. It's a story about culture, capitalism, addiction, loyalty, betrayal — and how one underground market reshaped Southern hip-hop forever. From Astroworld fights to state prison bids… from Mercedes at 16 to moving cases of syrup… Mike D tells it all. Go Support Mike!

If the majority of mobile casuals' target audience takes Ozempic, what effect does that have on games? No one's asking these questions, so welcome to the Game Economist Cast. Weight loss drugs, AI copilots, and gambling apps dominated the most expensive media real estate on earth, and games were barely in the frame. In this episode, we unpack what that signal means for interactive entertainment, Eric uncovers Riot's 2XKO downsizing to Google's Genie 3, and the future of engines. Phil previews his GDC talk on the economics of a billion-dollar cosmetic economy, Chris breaks down his attempt to design and publish a trading board game, and we ask a harder question: in a world of Ozempic and infinite AI supply, what actually happens to gaming demand? We discuss: • The 2XKO reset and the economics of niche within niche genres • Team size, burn rate, and why a 160-person fighting game team changes the break-even math • Free to play cosmetics versus box price DLC in a capped DAU genre • Why betting apps can out-monetize most games on ARPDAU • How appetite suppression might reallocate time, spending, and loop sensitivity • Genie 3 and the cost curve of game production • Engines as rule governance layers in a probabilistic content world • Cosmetic economies as foundational theory • Scarcity, signaling, and equilibrium pricing in digital status markets • Price discovery, private information, and turning trade into tabletop play Listen now!

Mortgage rates tripled. The crash never came. In this Episode Kerry Lutz and Jason Hartman break down why U.S. housing didn't collapse when borrowing costs exploded. Nearly 25% of homeowners hold mortgages at or below 3%. About 65% are at 4% or less. That "lock-in effect" crushed supply and froze mobility. Fewer than 800,000 homes are listed nationwide — under 0.6% of America's 140 million housing units. Owners won't give up cheap debt. Inventory stays tight. Hartman believes this imbalance could persist into 2032–2033. Scarcity and utility continue driving prices — even after the rate shock. The conversation then shifts to immigration and rental housing. Hartman argues most undocumented migrants occupy lower-tier rentals, meaning enforcement shifts would likely hit C-class properties first. They also discuss Sun Belt migration trends and investor tools like PropertyTracker and Empowered Investor for sourcing income-producing properties. If you've been waiting for a housing crash, Kerry and Jason explain why it hasn't happened — and what could finally change the equation.

In this episode, John answers listener questions about breakups, emotional cheating, boredom in relationships, scarcity mindset, defensiveness, and what it really means to compromise without abandoning yourself. Why is it harder to let go when things ended “well”? Is emotional cheating still cheating? When do needs become “demands”? And how much space is too much space for an avoidant partner? This episode is about self-respect, emotional safety, and learning how to stay connected without losing yourself. We explore: Running into an ex and how to handle it Letting go after a breakup (especially when it ends abruptly) Scarcity vs. abundance in dating Emotional cheating and betrayal Compromise vs. self-abandonment Defensiveness and where it comes from Boredom in relationships Giving avoidant partners space Conflict over household structure If you've ever wondered whether you're asking for too much — or settling for too little — this one's for you.

Have you ever had the thought, “If I change what's working, I'll lose everything?” I coached a six-figure product business owner who was afraid that growing her online sales would tank her in-person show revenue.

Send me a some feedback!In this episode, Mike and Angie explore what it really means to “go to your neutral corners” during conflict. Rather than trying to resolve emotional tension in the heat of the moment, they explain why true resolution begins with individual self-regulation. Conflict isn't solved in the center of the ring — it's resolved in the corners, where each person takes responsibility for their own nervous system.They unpack how projection, financial fear, old wounds, and emotional triggers play out inside relationships — and why nothing outside of you can fix what's stored inside your body. This conversation draws a powerful line between unconscious survival-based reactions and conscious self-mastery, revealing how emotional regulation — not control — creates an unbreakable bond.Key Takeaways1. Conflict Is Resolved in the Corners, Not the Center of the Ring Emotional regulation happens individually before resolution can happen together.2. Your Partner Cannot Clean Up What Lives in Your Nervous System Triggers reveal stored emotional energy — they are not created by the other person.3. Financial Fear, Scarcity, and Emotional Volatility Are Nervous System Patterns External changes do not resolve internal dysregulation.4. You Attract Partners Who Expose What Needs Healing Soul-level relationships trigger growth — not comfort.5. As One Person Evolves, the Relationship Must Evolve Too If consciousness levels diverge, the gap either closes through growth or widens toward separation.Notable Quotes“Everybody thinks that conflict is going to be resolved in the center of the ring. But in reality, conflict is resolved in the corners.”“There is not a damn thing that I can do in that moment to release your anxiety, the anger, the fear, whatever's in there.”“The knife didn't create the juice. The juice was already there. The knife just revealed the juice.”“The only job of the nervous system is to keep you alive.”“It's not always about comfort. It's about growth and growing together.”Call to Action

Scarcity in sports cards is not a print run problem. It is an ownership problem.In this flagship episode, I break down why some cards feel impossible to find while others never stop circulating. The difference is not how many exist. The difference is who owns them and whether they sell. Using real examples from modern, 90s, and vintage cards, Brett walks through how ownership concentration, churn, and collector behavior shape what scarcity feels like in the market.If you want to slow down, stop overpaying for hype, and build a collection with intention, this episode gives you a new lens. One that helps you ask better questions before you spend your money and chase the next card.Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Get your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Stress, urgency, and fear are often treated like “normal life”—but what if that story is the real problem? In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana explores what it means to treat peace as a premium choice, even when life feels unfinished. This conversation is for anyone feeling overwhelmed by doom-scrolling, pressure, or scarcity thinking. Guest Robin Harris shares how early religious conditioning shaped her view of safety, why fear can become chronic in modern life, and how we can reclaim agency through nervous-system awareness, boundaries, and community—so we're not just surviving, but truly feeling alive. About the Guest: Robin Harris was raised as a preacher's kid and grew up questioning fear-based narratives around safety, faith, and the world. She supports people in shifting subconscious patterns and stepping out of survival mode, drawing on hypnotherapy and nervous-system awareness. Key Takeaways: Treat peace as a power source: fear narrows focus; peace expands choice and possibility. Reduce repeated exposure to fear narratives—especially if you're not acting on what you consume. Watch your nervous system: chronic fear is unnatural and requires intentional decompression. Start with proximity: manage your mind and emotions before trying to “fix” the whole world. Practice saying “no” to what drains you (doom-scrolling, outrage cycles, scarcity messaging). Find your people: healing isn't solitary—community sustains the hero's journey.

If your offers aren't converting the way they should be, it might not be your content, your audience, or your price. It might be the fact that there is no real reason for someone to buy right now.Kendra explains why scarcity is not about being manipulative or “salesy,” but about helping people make decisions instead of staying stuck in endless maybe-later mode.

If you have people watching, liking, and lurking but not purchasing, this episode will hit home.You'll learn how to use ethical, clean scarcity in your marketing, why open-ended offers quietly kill conversions, and how to create clear timelines that actually support your audience in taking action.

What makes a bun dance?In Episode #513 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: the definition of abundance versus how futurists/technologists and everyday folks actually use it, the conflation of “lots of something” with “zero friction access,” whether abundance must be global or can be meaningfully local, test the concept across water, food, intelligence and money, why more does not equal free (or even better), scarcity's persistent psychological pull, whether a world of replicators (à la Star Trek) would make us healthier or simply more indulgent, Dyson spheres/Matryoshka brains/chess engines and why perfect performance is boring compared to messy human stories.

Lamborghinis dominate pop culture – from rap lyrics to blockbuster movies – but the reality is few people actually own them. Every year, the luxury carmaker delivers around 10,000 vehicles worldwide. Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann says that scarcity is central to the brand's appeal. On Bold Names, Winkelmann joins WSJ's Tim Higgins to explain how the company leans into exclusivity, why it's choosing hybrids over a fully electric future, and how tariffs and global trade pressures are challenging the business.

What is the best scarcity on Sorare: Limited, Rare, Super Rare, Unique, or Set?In today's SorareAndrews, we'll break down the real pros and cons of every scarcity on the platform. This isn't about hype or flex value, it's about:• Cost vs. upside• Competition depth• Prize pools and payout structures• Time commitment• Stress, variance, and expectationsWhether you're just starting out, scaling up, or reconsidering where you're allocating your budget, this conversation is about finding the right scarcity for you, not chasing what works for someone else.

The Emotional Traps That Quietly Destroy Your Finances Most financial problems aren't caused by lack of knowledge. They're caused by emotion. In this episode, I walk through the four emotional traps that keep people stuck with money. Avoidance. Scarcity. Guilt. Shame. These patterns don't just slow progress. They quietly sabotage it, even when someone knows exactly what they should be doing. We talk about why people avoid their numbers, why scarcity keeps them small, how guilt turns abundance into punishment, and why shame convinces people it's too late to change. You're not broken. You're not behind. You're just operating without a system. Once emotion is replaced with clarity and structure, everything changes. Episode Timeline and Highlights 0:00 Why money issues are emotional 1:30 Avoidance and financial paralysis 4:00 Scarcity mindset explained 6:00 Guilt and self sabotage 8:00 Shame and the fear of starting over 10:30 You're not broken you're untrained 13:00 The next step toward freedom Key Takeaways • Avoidance creates short term relief and long term damage • Scarcity keeps you stuck in survival mode • Guilt punishes growth • Shame stops progress before it starts • Systems remove emotion from decision making Quotables "Avoidance gives short term relief but long term consequences." "Scarcity convinces you to stay small even when growth is available." "You don't need more willpower. You need a system." If one of these emotional traps resonated with you, you're not alone. But nothing changes if nothing changes.

Collapse has long been discussed in the public imagination as something that happens suddenly, immediately turning the world upside down. But history shows that collapse is more often characterized by the slow unraveling of a civilization. Usually, this is due to some combination of resource scarcity, economic stagnation, and compounding disruptions to productive capacity – yet it's barely perceptible in the day-to-day lives of the people within it. What are the signs that we could be living through such a moment right now, and if we are, how does history tell us to prepare for what's to come?  Today, Nate is joined by Balázs Matics, the author of the popular Substack blog The Honest Sorcerer, to explore the systemic reasons behind civilization's potential collapse, the importance of energy security, and the growing effects of geopolitical instability. Balázs emphasizes the overlooked importance of industrial inputs such as diesel fuel, and the implications of this as more parts of the world face resource scarcities. Together, they also discuss the possibilities of more localized production and communities rooted in compassion and cooperation as ways to navigate a post-growth future. As economic, geopolitical, and resource issues become more pressing, what will this mean for the future of environmental concerns such as global heating? What economic and industrial signals should governments actually be paying attention to in order to understand the health of a society? Finally, how can the humans paying attention to this story open up discourse where they live and start sowing the seeds of more resilient communities, even as the web of global complexity unravels?    About Balázs Matics: Balázs Matics is the author of the Substack blog The Honest Sorcerer where he writes on the topics of energy, economics, industrial materials, and other matters relevant to the future of civilization. He is located in Eastern Europe, where he is an industrial product engineer by training and has two decades of experience in manufacturing, supply chain, and project management at various multinational corporations. Having been involved in a number of international projects and after completing a 2 year post-graduate leadership program in supply chain and logistics, he has developed a unique understanding of the interconnected nature of our world and technologies.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

He explains the challenges of finding viable deals, emphasizing the importance of building relationships with property owners, particularly those who have owned their parks for many years.
