On episode 303 of Take Flight Weekly, I walk you through one of the most overlooked yet powerful opportunities in our relationship business—holiday gifting and handwritten notes. Every advisor knows they should send something during the holidays, but few do it strategically. The difference between an average gesture and a lasting impression comes down to timing, thoughtfulness, and execution. This isn't about spending more money; it's about being intentional. Your goal isn't to impress—it's to express. The power of a well-timed, authentic note or gift lies in its ability to make someone feel seen, appreciated, and remembered. Timing is Everything USPS 2025 Domestic Mailing Deadlines: → First-Class Mail: December 18 → Priority Mail: December 19 → Priority Mail Express: December 21 Send early to stand out. Once you cross December 15, mailboxes explode. You want your message to land before the clutter. Best Practice: → Send cards between November 29–December 8 → Ship gifts between December 10–15 → Send New Year's cards between January 2–10 Strategic Playbook for 2025: → November 15: Finalize your Top 100 list → November 22: Order cards, gifts, and packaging → December 1–10: Send handwritten notes → December 10–15: Deliver gifts → December 26–January 5: Send "New Year Gratitude" notes Handwritten Notes: The Data → Open Rate: 90–99% versus 20–30% for email → Response Rate: 10–15% engagement versus 1–3% for printed mail → ROI: Nearly double compared to printed equivalents → Retention: Clients receiving 2+ handwritten notes per year are 80% more likely to refer or transact again → Physical mail activates stronger memory and emotional response centers than digital communication → 70% of consumers say handwritten notes make professionals appear more trustworthy Real-World Results: → Local company tested printed versus handwritten: handwritten cards generated more than double the conversion rate → Luxury brands saw 16–56x ROI with handwritten direct mail → Open rates increased from 42% to 90% by switching to handwritten notes How to Write the Card 3–5 sentences is the sweet spot. Structure: → Greeting – Use their name → Personal Connection – Reference something specific → Gratitude – Acknowledge their trust → Forward Look – End with optimism → Signature – Hand-sign it. Always Time: Plan 3–4 minutes per card. 50–75 cards = 4–5 hours total. Break into two or three 90-minute sessions. A four-minute handwritten card can sit on a client's desk for four months. That's marketing you can't buy. Gifting Principles → Keep It Local and useful → Stay under $100 per client → Personalize with a handwritten note → Align with your brand Birthdays Matter If holidays are your annual gratitude statement, birthdays are your year-round connection opportunity. Clients receiving 3+ personalized touches a year are 70% more likely to reach out first when they have a need. The Close Compare the ROI: → $500 postcard campaign: 1% response rate → $5 handwritten note: 10–15% response rate and deeper loyalty That's the kind of ROI you can't buy with clicks. It's earned through authenticity. If this resonated, share it. Subscribe at @askjimmiller. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared dives deep into one of the most fascinating frontiers in functional nutrition—brain energy. He unpacks how ATP fuels your mind, why BDNF acts like “fertilizer for neurons,” and how lifestyle stressors, toxins, and poor sleep can dim your mental lightbulb. From there, he explores the natural tools that can reignite focus, memory, and long-term cognitive vitality. You'll hear how powerhouse nutrients can support mitochondrial performance, boost brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and promote sharper thinking—without the crash of caffeine or pharmaceuticals. Jared wraps up with three practical, results-driven protocols: one for focus and ADHD support, one for immediate memory and cognition, and one for long-term prevention of cognitive decline. Each stack can be customized to fit your individual goals so you can think clearer, focus longer, and age smarter—naturally.Brain Boosting Protocol CollectionShop the collection!

In this episode of ‘All Things Endurance Podcast,' host, Rick Prince chats with Laura Healey – the senior manager of Research & Sport Science at Puma. In this podcast, Laura discusses the science and make up of super shoes, as well considerations regarding their use and application.  Below are the specific areas that Rick and Laura chat about during this episode:  1.       Could you please tell our listeners a little bit more about yourself?2.       Is there an exact definition of a ‘super shoe,' or more specifically, are there any aspects of a shoe that are needed to make it a ‘super shoe?'3.       First there was the focus on barefoot/minimal footwear, which is often attributed to the ‘Born to Run' book. Now the over-cushioned ‘super shoe' seems to have largely replace the minimalist focus. Could you discuss this transition from one extreme to another?4.       Is there one aspect of super shoes (i.e., foam, carbon plate, etc…) that is responsible for the increase in performance, or is it largely an equal combination of all aspects?5.       Due to the height, are over-cushioned shoes less stable when running around tight turns?6.       Initially, super shoes were viewed as only racing shoes. However, has that changed to the point where a lot of people also train in super shoes?7.       Without giving away any proprietary information, what are some of the key considerations that go into making a super shoe?8.       Price aside, are there any reasons why someone might not want to purchase super shoes?9.       Is there any research out there that discusses if super shoes increase, decrease or have no effect on injury rates? Or is it still way too early to have statistically significant data on in this area?10.  Aside from the usual fit recommendations, are there any other considerations or guidelines that a runner should be aware of when trying on super shoes?  To learn more about Puma and to check out their shoes, please visit: www.puma.com

Ever wonder what makes honey stay smooth, crystallize, or change color? There’s a lot more chemistry in that jar than you might think. That science is also what gives honey medicinal qualities. We’re visiting with Bob Binnie of Blue Ridge Honey Company in northeast Georgia, a honey producer who also purchases coast to coast, from California to New York, and from Wisconsin to Florida. Bob breaks down the sweet science behind honey: what’s really going on inside that golden jar, and how the chemistry shapes everything from how it’s stored to how it’s labeled.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textWhat if nearly half of what separates good teams from great ones can't be found on a stat sheet? We explore the real engine behind championship baseball: team chemistry. Drawing on a large-scale study of MLB teams from 1998 to 2016, we break down how player complementarities and trust explain a surprising portion of performance, and why coaches who design relationships win more when pressure spikes.We share practical takeaways from managers who mastered the human side of the game. Bruce Bochy shows how clarity and connection turn talent into titles. Joe Maddon proves that fun is a strategy, not a gimmick, sustaining energy over a 162-game grind. Terry Francona's clubhouse model highlights how empowering veteran leaders can build belief that survives slumps and setbacks. Along the way, we challenge the myth that chemistry is mystical, and show you how to spot the “glue guys” whose intangibles lift the group.You'll leave with a simple coaching blueprint: recruit for fit, not just tools; create role clarity so every player knows when, why, and how they contribute; install small rituals that strengthen bonds; and communicate consistently to build trust before the big moments arrive. We also tackle the “winning or chemistry first” debate, arguing for intentional culture-building that moves results rather than waits for them. Whether you coach high school, college, or travel ball, these stories, data-backed insights, and on-field tactics will help you build a dugout that multiplies talent.If this conversation sparked ideas for your team, follow the show, share it with a coaching friend, and leave a quick review so more coaches can find it.

Your brain is ancient, but your world is not. We unpack how a hunter-gatherer reward system runs into modern dopamine superstimuli—engineered foods, infinite feeds, one-click buys, and potent drugs—and why that mismatch can spiral into addiction. Using clear language and vivid examples, we explain cravings, compulsion, and consequences through the lens of dopamine: how normal rewards help us survive, how substances hijack that circuitry, and how constant notifications keep the throttle stuck open.We go deeper into the factors that raise or lower risk. Genetics account for roughly half of vulnerability and often determine a “drug of choice,” where one person feels sick from alcohol while another feels energized and social. Then we connect the dots between mental health and substance use. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD frequently overlap with addiction, and treating one without the other rarely works. The ACEs research shows how chronic childhood stress reshapes the brain and the body, setting the stage for later disease. PTSD flips fight-or-flight on at the wrong time, and many people reach for alcohol or cannabis to blunt nightmares and panic, only to worsen the cycle.Timing is pivotal. Teen brains run on lower baseline dopamine yet respond fiercely to novelty, making early use more rewarding and more dangerous. We share practical insights about delaying use, protecting brain development, and building real skills for stress, sleep, and conflict. A candid case study ties it together: a young adult mixing alcohol and cocaine, a missed PTSD diagnosis, and a turning point when care shifts to trauma therapy and targeted medications. The takeaway is hopeful and clear—when we treat the pain beneath the substance and rebuild healthy rewards, recovery becomes possible and durable.If this conversation helped you see addiction more clearly, subscribe, share the episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway. Your support helps more people find science-based care and hope.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

Perhaps your view of tree leaves changing color in the fall comes from a scientific perspective, providing a greater appreciation of the natural beauty of this transformation. Rod Bain reports.

"Organic produce isn't necessarily not sprayed with pesticides. There's different types of pesticides. They just aren't allowed to use synthetic pesticides. Sometimes they can be even more toxic. Sometimes they have to use larger amounts because they're less effective especially given the cost difference between organic and non-organic, I don't see that it's really warranted for something" - Dr. Matthew Nagra Many people still believe that what they eat, how they live, their experiences, and even who they share their life with has no impact on their physical health.

Cortisol gets a bad rap, but it's actually one of your body's most powerful performance tools. We're diving into the science behind stress, and why cortisol isn't always the villain it's made out to be. In this episode, we unpack how your nervous system and hormones work together to keep you balanced, what happens when that system goes off track, and simple nutrition and lifestyle strategies to help you stay regulated, energized, and resilient.

In this first episode of our three-part fasting series, Simon Ward welcomes Dr. Jules Strauss to explore the evolutionary science behind fasting and what actually happens in our bodies when we restrict food intake. While fasting has become a popular topic on social media, Jules brings her decade of research in exercise metabolism to separate the science from the hype. Together, they unpack how our hunter-gatherer ancestors evolved to handle periods without food, the hour-by-hour changes that occur during fasting, and why our relationship with hunger is far more complex than we might think. Key Points Discussed: Our evolutionary relationship with fasting: Humans evolved with intermittent access to food, developing metabolic flexibility to switch between glucose and fat burning during feast and famine cycles. The fasting timeline - what happens hour by hour: From overnight fasting (insulin drops, fat burning begins) to extended fasting (liver glycogen depletion, ketone production) and the physiological stress responses that occur. Understanding hunger signals: How appetite hormones like ghrelin and satiety signals work, why hunger often disappears during fasting, and the difference between true hunger and habitual eating patterns. The real benefits backed by science: Improvements in insulin sensitivity, glucose control, and body composition - but with the important caveat that most studies are done on metabolically unhealthy populations, not athletes. Fasting as physiological stress: Why fasting increases cortisol and adrenaline, and how this compounds with training stress in athletes. Key Quotation: "We all typically will fast overnight, and you know, depending on bedtime and waking time, the duration of that overnight fast that we all have will be slightly variable... but ultimately, that overnight fast will mean that we lean slightly more towards fat metabolism."

Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC. Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.Episode 24, Season II: The Science Behind HealingIn this follow-up to last week's deeply personal episode with her dear friend Ashley, Dr. Sarah Hensley takes listeners on a profound exploration into the science behind healing — continuing the conversation that began with her story of faith.While her previous episode centered on her personal healing journey through Christ, this week Dr. Hensley expands on how faith and science beautifully intertwine — because, as she believes, faith is the very foundation of science itself.This episode speaks directly to those who want to understand the scientific how — the psychological and neurological processes that underlie emotional healing. Dr. Hensley unpacks the science of the brain, emotional regulation, and the rewiring of neural pathways that allow us to create new, healthier responses to emotional pain, conflict, and relational distress.She emphasizes that knowledge alone isn't power — it's the application of knowledge through capacity building that truly transforms us. Healing, she explains, happens when we move from intellectual understanding into embodied emotional processing.In classic “Love Doc” fashion, Dr. Hensley cuts through the noise of overcomplicated therapeutic frameworks by focusing on simplicity and mastery. She reveals how her own programs are built around just two core emotional skills — the essential foundations needed to effectively process emotions and build true relational resilience.Throughout the episode, Dr. Hensley gives credit to the pioneering scientists and psychologists whose decades of research paved the way for her work. She honors their contributions while also highlighting where she found critical gaps in the existing research — gaps that inspired her to develop her own trademarked emotional processing framework.By the end of this episode, listeners will understand not just what emotional healing is, but how it happens — from a neurological, psychological, and practical standpoint. If you've ever wanted to grasp the real, science-backed process behind transformation — and learn the same tools Dr. Hensley teaches her clients every day inside her practice — this episode is a must-listen.Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

This episode: Dr. Stephen Bruehl joins All Things Unexplained for an exploration of:* The science of UAP* UAP patterns* Statistical signatures of UAP* Inside the POSS-I paper with Beatriz Villarroel* The UAP-nuclear connection* Optical transientsStephen Bruehl, Ph.D., is a medical researcher whose background in science and statistics has recently led him into groundbreaking collaborations in the UAP field. Though fascinated by UAPs since childhood in the 1970s, Bruehl only formally entered the field in 2024, attending the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU) conference. There, a presentation by Dr. Beatriz Villarroel sparked a research idea involving optical transients and historical UAP sightings. That idea led to a year-long collaboration and the recent release of their peer-reviewed paper: Some Transients in the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS-I) May Be Associated with Above-Ground Nuclear Testing and Reports of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.Bruehl has also collaborated with Robert Powell and Sarah Little of SCU, applying cluster analysis to 216 carefully vetted UAP reports—research just accepted in a special UAP issue of World Futures. In this episode, Bruehl joins All Things Unexplained to discuss how traditional scientific tools—statistics, data modeling, and research methods—can bring new clarity to an old mystery.Watch the full video with Dr. Bruehl: https://youtube.com/live/ex0Kbhm61sU Subscribe to All Things Unexplained on YouTube: @allthingsunexplained Links:     Cluster Analysis of Features Associated with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Described in 216 Select Reports from 1947-2016 (Bruehl, Little, Powell): https://www.explorescu.org/post/cluster-analysis-of-features-associated-with-unidentified-anomalous-phenomena-described-in-216-selec      Transients in the Palomar Observatory SkySurvey (POSS-I) May Be Associated with Nuclear Testing and Reports of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (Bruehl, Villarroel): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-21620-3      YouTube: https://youtube.com/@allthingsunexplained      Shop: https://all-things-unexplained-shop.fourthwall.com      Website/support: https://allthingsunexplained.com      Video podcast playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUBNCmjIGgJjFeGxSZgrtDeW_TjIV4XHp        Dr. Mounce in Beast Games Ep. 0: https://youtu.be/gs8qfL9PNac?si=whD290YawP8WBSTH      Guest list: https://allthingsunexplained.transistor.fm/people      New to streaming or looking to level up?

This episode explores the science of long-term memory and "time-sequenced learning", a neuroscience-based instructional approach that helps students retain knowledge deeply and efficiently. Simon explains how the technique was inspired by research showing that firing synapses in a particular sequence chemically strengthens memory — "tattooing" information into the brain. This method, initially tested in schools and later scaled digitally, can compress weeks of traditional instruction into an hour while improving retention and confidence. He and Philippa discuss: The neuroscience behind learning sequences. Evidence from studies showing comparable or better results than months of traditional lessons. Applications for corporate training, police and medical education, and GCSE Physics. Broader questions about rethinking schools, exams, and what true learning means — shifting focus from rote memorisation to curiosity, creativity, and mastery.

Plants that live indoors with us over the winter — both houseplants and those that are only stored inside the house seasonally — need a few things from us to get through the darker, colder months. At the same time, too much coddling during this period of semi-dormancy can doom plants. This week, I am sharing how to prepare plants for the transition and how to strike the right balance to keep them happy and healthy.

The story behind Dr. Gerta Keller's world-shattering scientific discovery that dinosaur extinction was NOT caused by asteroid impact, but rather by volcanic eruptions on the Indian peninsula, a discovery that highlights today's existential threat of greenhouse gasses and climate change and one that sparked an all-out war waged by the scientific establishment.Part scientific detective story, part personal odyssey, The Last Extinction is the definitive account of a radical theory that has reshaped how we understand our planet's past and, as we face the possibility of a sixth extinction, how we might survive its future.For decades, the dominant theory held that an asteroid impact caused the dinosaurs' extinction. But Princeton Geologist Dr. Gerta Keller followed the evidence to the truth: Deccan volcanism, a series of massive volcanic eruptions in India, triggered a long-term climate catastrophe and Earth's fifth mass extinction. Her findings upended the field and ignited a bitter feud in modern science—what became known as the “Dinosaur Wars.”Raised in poverty on a Swiss farm and told she could never be a scientist, Keller defied expectations, earning her PhD at Stanford and battling her way into the highest ranks of Geology, eventually becoming a Professor of Paleontology and Geology at Princeton University. Her refusal to back down in the face of ridicule, sabotage, and sexism makes her story as thrilling as her science, which offers urgent insight into today's climate crisis: Sustained planetary upheaval—not a single cataclysmic event—can plunge the planet into an age of death.She is the author of "The Last Extinction: The Real Science Behind the Death of the Dinosaurs."https://www.amazon.com/Last-Extinction-Science-Behind-Dinosaurs/dp/B0DZ13NHZV http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

First-year flu, “Metcough,” “Keeney Cough” — it's called a number of names, but they all signal one thing: Illness is in the air.
