Podcasts about Scrolling

This week on The Heat is On…Big Tech on Trial, we reached a turning point.After weeks of testimony, we heard from the final witnesses — including Meta's paid medical expert, internal researchers, and YouTube leadership. New details emerged about deleted watch history data, internal warnings about teen risk, and what company executives knew about under-13 enforcement.Then came closing arguments.Mark Lanier argued that platform design targeted Kaley from a young age. Attorneys for Meta and YouTube pushed back, claiming there is no proven causal link between social media and mental health struggles, for Kaley or anyone else.Friday morning, the jury began deliberating.Now nine jurors must decide:Were these platforms negligently designed in ways that substantially contributed to Kaley's anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts? Or not?We're inside the courtroom translating what this case means for parents everywhere — because these trials aren't just about one child. It could shape the future of accountability for TikTok, YouTube, Meta, and Snap Inc..Verdict watch has begun.The Heat is On...Big Tech on Trial is an investigative mini-series by Scrolling 2 Death, in partnership with Heat Initiative.Video Editing expertly provided by Jacob Meade.

What's SHE Up To Now Day 2966? Doom Scrolling, Supersize Challenges, Budgets, Skool Community And Spring Break!!! Pop here every day for a dose of different business building perspective: https://facebook.com/supersizebusiness #supersizeyourbusiness #supersizyouuchallenge #supersizeyourbusinessannualchallenge #supersizeyourbusinesschallenge #moneymonth #documentthejourney #financialhealth #givevalue #skoolcommunity #budget #doomscrolling #springbreak #businessbuildingperspective Well, hi there! SHE shares her journey, starting her "online business" video series 2966 days ago due to vision challenges that made "journaling" difficult. This "inspirational video" highlights her decision to overcome her initial fear of "video marketing" to share what works for her, serving as a powerful "motivation video" for personal development.

En este episodio hablamos del “síndrome del scrolling” y de cómo la comparación constante puede llenarnos de frustración, ansiedad e inseguridad. Aprendemos que el contentamiento no es conformismo, sino gratitud por lo que somos, por lo que tenemos hoy y por la historia única que Dios está escribiendo en nosotros.

Silence. Depth. Patience. Sitting with one thought has become incredibly challenging in a world dominated by mindless notifications. We've put multitasking on a pedestal only to discover that there is no such thing as doing two things simultaneously. Switching between tasks quickly, juggling the realm of binary code without much thought, has led us down a path where the vast majority of people struggle with all kinds of mental issues. FOCUS, a fundamental pillar in life, business, health, relationships, and many other areas, has lost its appeal. Scrolling until your thumbs are numb and your brain is fried is the new thing. The consequences of this shift are devastating. What we see today is the tip of the iceberg. Will the narrative crumble? Will we remember how to turn inward and pull wisdom from inside? This is entirely up to each and every one of us. It's one decision away. However, we have to be brave enough to choose wisely, commit, and walk the path. Learn to Reverse-Engineer Life-Cycles Before you continue to scatter your energy and pour your precious life force onto meaningless projects, objects, and conversations, sit down in a quiet place and reverse-engineer your life. Life has taught us to wear many hats. The number, color, and weight of our hats depend on which cycle we are in. In spring, we learn to walk, talk, play, and discover the very basics of what we call life. Most of the time, we are taken care of, we're fed, dressed, and protected by family and friends. It's the cycle where we learn how to craft our unique hats and wear them with pride. Summer is the time when we ‘go out to hunt'. We work hard, start businesses, climb the corporate ladder, travel the world, and create a family. The hats we wear increase in size, and with that, responsibility takes new shapes and forms. Autumn is the season where we reap the rewards IF we planted the seeds in spring and took care of our beautiful garden in the summer. It's the time when we delve deeper into relationships and give things in life a fresh perspective. The hats we wear in this life cycle are rich, albeit very colorful, through the skills, knowledge, and experiences we have gathered over the years. In winter, the hats become lighter, albeit warmer, as you wear them with pride, irrespective of other people's good opinion. It's the time when you give away your hats and share the wisdom gathered under the hood with those willing to listen and who appreciate your tidbits. The amazing benefit of doing this “tough” exercise, which involves facing one’s deepest fears, shadows, and regrets, lies in the insight we can gain, which translates into changing our course if we notice our ship is off track. The earlier in life you do this exercise and the more often you sit down to course-correct, the bigger the impact it will have. Minimizing regrets while living a fulfilled, joyful, and blissful life and adhering to one's passion fills our batteries with energy. Strip Away the Noise. Sit with Yourself Consistently. The noise in the “outside realm” is set to get louder if we don't find inner peace. Whether we like it or not, we create our reality, and if we don't like what we see in the mirror, it's up to us to change the input. Pick your thoughts and battles wisely. Learn to sit in silence and get to know yourself. The higher your addiction to gadgets, notifications, and distractions, the more difficult it will be to sit with one thought. Do it anyway. Teach yourself what you forgot, namely, to focus on what's most important to you. You're the captain of your life, so think and act accordingly. Attend a Live Webinar. Schedule a Consultation. The post Forget Multitasking. Sit with One Thought. appeared first on StrengthInBusiness.

Nearly five years ago, in a very early episode of Budget Nerds (before the podcast feed!), Ben and Ernie discussed their top three favorite things to do in YNAB. Today they are revisiting that concept to share what still lights them up about using YNAB. Some things include slick new YNAB features such as focused views, others hearken back to the simple beauty of giving every dollar a job and reconciling accounts.   Ben's current top 3: Reconciling accounts -- in typical nerdy fashion, Ben reconciles manually before his pending transactions clear with the bank, then compares the balances afterward to ensure they match. It's the harder, but (for him) more satisfying way. Moving money out of overfunded accounts with "fill up to" targets. Ben uses a lot of targets that require him to fill up to a target amount in the category, but not all of those dollars are used every month. By using the overfunded focused view, he can pull those unneeded dollars out of the overfunded categories and voila! It's like finding $20 in the pocket of your jeans. YNAB as a system of record. Ben's librarian comes through here. YNAB isn't just a tool for managing your money, it's also a useful database of your financial data. You can easily query it to find transactions for years past based on the payee or even notes you left in the memo field. This comes in handy when doing taxes, meeting with your accountant, or trying to figure out what restaurant you ate at and loved on vacation four years ago.   Ernie's top 3: Cost to be me -- this is a newer feature that adds up your targets and shows you what it takes to fund your current lifestyle. You can compare this against your expected income and see how much margin you will have any given month. Assinging into future months using the auto-assign feature. Ernie's addicted to seeing those pie charts for future months fill up! Available amounts. This has been a feature of YNAB forever, but it still brings Ernie joy. Scrolling through his categories and seeing the available amounts brought Ernie a sense of peace and comfort when he first started using YNAB, and it still does today. These are real dollars, not hypothetical future dollars, and they are there to work for you.   Follow Budget Nerds on YouTube Budget Nerds Livestreams: https://www.youtube.com/@YNABofficial/streams Budget Nerds Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuIUGmbCDklkDCDm-cQqv2g   Share your YNAB win with Ben and Ernie! budgetnerds@ynab.com

ProducerHead Bars is a space for ideas that stand on their own. Short reflections and studio frameworks pulled from experience, conversation, and the ongoing pursuit of becoming a better producer.This entry focuses on a simple but powerful strategy for overcoming creative paralysis: The Piñata Method.The Problem: Creative FreezeEven experienced producers run into moments where they sit down to make music and freeze. Sometimes it looks like procrastination. Scrolling. Cleaning the studio. Doing anything except the thing you actually sat down to do.But procrastination isn't necessarily laziness. More often, it's a signal of overwhelm. When the scope of a project exceeds your perceived ability to navigate it, the brain chooses avoidance instead of action.The issue isn't capability. It's clarity.The Piñata MethodThe Piñata Method is a way to break overwhelming creative projects into pieces until the next step becomes obvious. Instead of staring at the entire goal, you smash the project open and look at what falls out.Imagine your goal is to complete a 10-track album.At first glance, that's a massive undertaking. But if you smash that project open, working backwards, you start to see its components: 10 mastered songs.Smash those again and you see: 10 mixed songs.Smash those again and you see: 10 produced tracks.And before that? Individual production sessions.By working backwards from the finished goal, you create a clear map from the end point to the very next step. In this example, the path to a finished album starts with something much smaller: Opening your DAW and beginning one session.Capacity ChangesYour capacity as a producer is not fixed.Your skills improve. Your schedule changes. Collaborators enter or leave the process. Life shifts.The Piñata Method accounts for this. The goal remains the same, but the structure of the steps can adapt. If your capacity grows, steps may combine. If your capacity shrinks, you simply break them down again.The map evolves, but the destination stays intact.The TakeawayCreative paralysis rarely comes from a lack of ability. It comes from trying to tackle too much at once.The Piñata Method reminds you that every large creative accomplishment is just the accumulation of smaller actions.A wall is laid one brick at a time.An album is finished one session at a time.So if you're feeling stuck, take the project in front of you and smash it open. Break it down until the next step is clear.Then take that step.Once you begin moving again, the possibility of everything you're trying to create returns with you.Connect with Toru:* Website: torubeat.com* Instagram: @torubeat* YouTube: @torubeat* Spotify: Toru* Apple Music: ToruJoin The ProducerHead CommunityWhen you subscribe you'll get access to the full collection of Invisible Instruments, Sonic Stimulus Vol. 1, a royalty-free sample pack created for the community by Toru, access to ProducerHead Bars write-ups and extended frameworks, and an additional opportunity to have your music featured in The Pocket, a monthly community curation from ProducerHead.This episode was co-produced, engineered and edited by Matthew Diaz.From ProducerHead, this is Toru, and in a way, so are you.

One of my biggest goals this year is to become a more interesting person by learning more intentionally. Instead of letting free time disappear into scrolling or passive entertainment, I started building something I call a monthly curriculum - a framework that helps me explore new ideas, develop hobbies, and be more intentional about how I spend my time. In this episode, I walk through my March curriculum, including the theme I'm focusing on, the nonfiction book I'm reading, the hobby I'm trying, and the small lifestyle upgrades I'm making.I also share lessons from my February curriculum and how you can realistically incorporate something like this into your life even if you work full time.In this episode we cover:

On America at Night with McGraw Milhaven, Andrew Day, Senior Editor at The American Conservative, discussed his piece “In Iran, Trump's Luck Runs Out,” analyzing the shifting political dynamics in Tehran, the limits of pressure-based strategies, and how recent developments could affect U.S.–Iran relations and broader Middle East stability. Later, Axel Burlin, author of Beyond Brain Rot: How to Stop Scrolling Your Life Away, joined the program to talk about the growing problem of digital overconsumption. Burlin explained how constant scrolling affects attention, productivity, and mental health, and offered practical strategies for regaining control over screen time in an increasingly addictive online world.

You've heard me say it a thousand times: the right man exists. Today I'm proving it.For the first time ever, I'm bringing my husband Sean onto the show — not for a cute couples episode, but because I've been getting the same message from women every single week: "Amanda, I love what you teach. But I don't actually believe a man like that exists."So I handed Sean the mic and let him answer that himself.In this episode you'll hear Sean talk about what his dating life actually looked like after his divorce, why he put therapy in his dating profile, what he was filtering for on the apps, and why a strong, confident, financially independent woman didn't intimidate him — it's what made him stop scrolling.He also tells you exactly what he'd say to the woman who is about to give up right now.This is the Play: Make Him Stop Scrolling Play. And the thesis is simple: high-value men exist. But they won't stop for just anyone. So you have to make him stop scrolling.

Do you ever find yourself "mindlessly" scrolling through your feed, only to realize thirty minutes have passed? In this episode of The Mindfulness Podcast, hosts Nita, Lele and Pat explore the intersection of digital technology and mental well-being. In this episode, we discuss: Curating your experience: How to use mindfulness to audit your feed and the algorithms that drive it. The Dopamine Loop: Understanding the "insidious" ways social media is designed to capture our attention through emotional triggers. Practical Boundaries: Tips for reclaiming your time, from turning off notifications to banning phones from the workspace. The "Boredom" Benefit: Why the lost art of being bored is essential for the "default mode network" of our brains. Featured Practice: Stick around for a guided 50/50 mindfulness practice where we use our phones in real-time to observe our physical and emotional reactions to social media apps. Join us as we learn how to reap the benefits of technology without succumbing to the consequences.

In today's fast-paced world, finding focus can often feel like an impossible feat. Cody Cook-Parrott shared that when our attention is scattered due to overstimulation and technology addiction, we unintentionally lose a part of ourselves. Addressing this requires us to step away from shame, gently asking what we might be avoiding, and experimenting with practices that reclaim our attention through small, intentional changes. Through Cody's insights, we learn that being present starts with small actions—whether it's logging out of social media, turning off your phone for a few hours, or taking conscious walks. Such practices help center us, improve our health, and revitalize our ability to show up in our lives. As I work towards intentional living, I invite everyone to explore these practices and experience the profound benefits of being fully embodied and present.

This week inside the courtroom, science took center stage — and the stakes were higher than ever.Dr. Kara Bagot, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who helped develop the NIH's landmark ABCD brain study, spent five days on the stand. She testified that to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, Kaley developed social media addiction — and that YouTube acted as the “gateway,” beginning at just six years old. She walked the jury through the platform features that fuel compulsive use: infinite scroll, autoplay, algorithms, notifications, likes, filters, Shorts, Reels, and the lack of meaningful age verification.Under intense cross-examination from Meta and YouTube's attorneys, Dr. Bagot held her ground — insisting on context over yes-or-no soundbites. Jurors watched closely. When she was finally excused, there as a quiet applause.Then came former Meta safety executive and whistleblower Arturo Bejar. He testified that by 2019, Meta researchers had identified addiction as a serious issue — but leadership discouraged even using the word, replacing it with “problematic use.” He described internal knowledge of harmful design choices, ineffective safety tools, and what he called “dark patterns,” including the infamous “blue button” that discouraged user reporting.Arturo also testified that age verification is not technically difficult — and that Meta could remove millions of under-13 users if it chose to.Next up was child safety expert and mom, Brooke Istook. Brooke powerfully described the generational tech gap, Instagram's growth team promoting FINSTAs, misleading safety promises, and the no-win position families face trying to supervise platforms designed to outmaneuver them.By week's end, the Plaintiffs rested their case and the Defense began calling witnesses in the form of video depositions.Meanwhile, outside this courtroom, the pressure is mounting. Big tech lobbyists have infiltrated important online safety legislation and 33 new families across 19 states have joined the consolidated JCCP litigation, with Roblox newly added to the complaints.Thousands of families. Dozens of states. And now jurors — everyday people — watching some of the richest companies in the world fight a single family over what caused a young girl's harm.These are the tobacco trials of our generation.We're inside the courtroom translating it all in real time — joined this week by Christine Almadjian, legislative consultant and courtroom observer, and Lennon Torres of Heat Initiative — bringing you the moments that mattered, the legal context behind the strategy, and what it means for families everywhere.Because this fight isn't abstract.It's about the apps in our kids' pockets.It's about truth, justice and accountability.And it's about whether these companies will finally be forced to change.We stand with families.The Heat is On...Big Tech on Trial is an investigative mini-series by Scrolling 2 Death, in partnership with Heat Initiative.Video Editing expertly provided by Jacob Meade.

We have here in our first slide a personality sitting, and you'll notice the aura around her. She has a myriad of images; and if we sit in a similar posture and note what we have moving about in our aura around our minds, we might notice something similar. Can you identify any objects in there, anybody? Are they descriptive enough to identify any of those things? Twitter? Social media? God! That's all there is nowadays. There is nothing else besides Twitter and social media, so that must be all that's there. We do have, according to the ancient wisdom literatures, a reservoir of impressions. So, what to do about all that? Let's look at the first slide. Slide number three says everything is recorded and stored in your mind—in your subconscious mind. It's a storage place, and the aggregate of our mental impressions becomes what one professor at Carnegie Mellon (if I'm not incorrect—is that the professor that uses this phraseology of 'Default Mode Network', or is it another one?)—we've been in conversation with several academics lately, because we're doing a project of sharing ideas from the Bhagavad-gītā and ancient wisdom literatures with leading academics. In any case, one of them (and JM will find it) said this aggregate of mental impressions—recognized in modern psychology also as our subconscious mind's storage of thoughts, impressions, and feelings—creates what's called a 'Default Mode Network.' And drawing upon that Default Mode Network, we might engage in what's called 'mind scrolling.' You know our phones... does anybody have a phone near them right now? If your phone is within arm's reach, give me a sign. A few people? It's nearby, right? If you look into your phone, it seems to have an unlimited source of faces, impressions, ideas, and so forth. Our mind is kind of like that. Whatever channels you've allowed on your device, whatever you've downloaded to your device—it's all....(12:26) ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #successsadhana #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Burnout is not a badge of honor. For years, working 22-hour days and never taking holidays was worn as proof of resilience. But the reality is different.

What really happens inside one of the most powerful companies in the world?This week, we sit down with Brian Boland, a former senior leader at Facebook (pre-Meta), who spent more than a decade helping build and scale Facebook and Instagram's advertising systems — and later testified in court about what he saw.Brian was in the courtroom for nearly five hours. In this candid conversation, he pulls back the curtain on:What it feels like to testify under oath against your former companyHow Meta's internal culture shifted after whistleblowers like Frances Haugen spoke outThe reality of Mark Zuckerberg's power inside the company — and why the board can't remove himHow algorithms are built, tested, and optimized — and why even engineers don't fully understand their long-term impactsWhether Meta is truly incentivized to limit teen usageThe truth about ad revenue from minorsHow accurate age-estimation technology really is — and why that mattersWhat whistleblowing actually costs the people who do itBrian doesn't call for the end of social media. In fact, he believes these platforms could be built to strengthen communities. But he's clear: the current incentives — profit, growth, daily active users — drive decisions that put engagement above safety.He also shares what he told executives, including Mark Zuckerberg, before he left — and the response he received.If you've ever wondered:Are these platforms intentionally habit-forming?Do they really know how young users are?Could they reduce harm if they wanted to?Why don't more insiders speak out?This episode is essential listening.It's a rare, inside look at how power, profit, algorithms, and accountability collide — and what it might actually take to force change.The Heat is On...Big Tech on Trial is an investigative mini-series by Scrolling 2 Death, in partnership with Heat Initiative.Video Editing expertly provided by Jacob Meade.Research mentioned in the episode: Social media platforms generate billions of dollars in revenue from U.S. youth: Findings from a simulated revenue model (Raffoul article)

Your willingness to see what you do not want to see in yourself.We are flawed. Every single one of us. We fall short of our own standards. We get petty when we should be understanding. We get bitter when we should be forgiving. We justify our actions to protect our ego.And even when we are aware of it, it is still easy to slip back into the patterns that hurt us and hurt others.This episode is not about shaming yourself. It is about honest connection with yourself. If you are guarded, bitter, angry, or defensive, those emotions are valid. You are entitled to feel them. But are they taking too much of a toll. Are they helping you build the life you want.I talk about why genuine connection with others starts with connecting to yourself. That includes seeing your shortcomings clearly. Therapy can be incredibly helpful in this process. Not because it is just talking, but because it helps you uncover what your ego would rather hide and then take action on it.Scrolling your phone and being told you are always right feels good. But deep down, you know when you are not aligned.This episode challenges you to reflect privately. No one else needs to hear your answers. Are your reactions building the life you want. Or are they protecting wounds that need to be healed.If you want genuine confidence, lasting growth, and an inside/out life, it starts with radical honesty.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Are your habits helping or hijacking your brain? This clip explores how learned routines like toothbrushing, with oral health linked to heart disease and dementia, contrast with habits we never learned for our minds.This segment examines why calorie-rich foods and constant phone access exploit evolved instincts, why Christmas grazing happens, and how removing cues helps. Practical ideas include keeping junk food and phones out of reach, placing your phone in another room for meetings or class, and exercising daily despite excuses unless you're genuinely ill.

This week, we're joined by Meta whistleblower Brian Boland, who appeared as a witness in this trial, and law student Christine Almadjian, who has spent hours inside the courtroom watching this case unfold. Christine is also a legislative consultant with END OSEAC.Thousands of families, school districts, and dozens of states have filed consolidated lawsuits against TikTok, YouTube, Meta, and Snap Inc., alleging their platforms were deliberately designed to addict and harm children. Some are calling this “the tobacco trial of our generation.”The first case centers on Kaley — a child like yours and mine — facing the most powerful companies in the world.This week, YouTube's VP of Engineering defended the algorithm as internal documents revealed research linking excessive use to addiction, sleep disruption, anxiety, depression, and body image issues — along with features like autoplay designed to increase watch time. We heard testimony that kids using YouTube while logged out are treated like adults, with no safety features enabled.A data expert challenged Meta and YouTube's reported ad revenue from minors, citing “significant errors and contradictions,” followed by testimony from Kaley's therapist.Then Kaley took the stand.She described creating multiple accounts to like her own videos and posts, sneaking her phone at night, spending up to 16 hours a day on Instagram, feeling panic without her device — and still, at 20 years old, struggling to stop. When asked whether she had addiction, anxiety, depression, or body dysmorphia before social media, her answer was simple: no.Meta and YouTube pushed back hard, pointing to family conflict and school bullying. In just a few weeks, the jury will decide if social media was a subsantial factor in her mental heath struggles.This case isn't just about one family. It's about millions of kids — and what happens next affects all of us.The Heat is On...Big Tech on Trial is an investigative mini-series by Scrolling 2 Death, in partnership with Heat Initiative.Video Editing expertly provided by Jacob Meade.

In this episode, Greg and I covered everything from LASIK stories and gym culture to CGMs and deloads, but the real theme was intentional living. We both did an unplanned digital detox over the weekend — no social media, no constant email checking, no reacting to every notification. And nothing broke. Sales still came in. Emails could wait. What we gained instead was presence — with family, with training, with real life.Phones have become the adult pacifier. Scrolling doesn't solve anxiety, boredom, or stress — it just numbs it. Time is the only non-renewable resource we have. If you're physically present but mentally tethered to your device, you're absent. So I'm doubling down on boundaries: batching emails, no reactive mornings, fewer distractions, more depth. When you remove noise, you amplify what actually matters.We also talked training — a strategic deload using machines to reduce CNS fatigue while keeping intensity high — and my current CGM experiment. Heavy training spikes glucose slightly. OMAD with high fat? Flat line. Data reinforces the philosophy: adequate fat stabilizes the response. And no, I didn't promote high fat to sell Keto Bricks — I built Keto Brick because I needed it first. Which is fitting, because March marks eight years since launch. Eight years of refining, leveling up, and doing the work.Key Takeaways:Digital detox creates clarity and presence.Most “urgent” communication isn't actually urgent.Boundaries protect your time and energy.Strategic deloads can increase long-term performance.High-fat OMAD keeps glucose remarkably stable (for me).Standards matter in natural bodybuilding — pro cards should be earned.Talk is cheap. Execution wins.Next episode we'll be reporting back post–Tough Mudder — cold, muddy, and better for it.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ

Reps. David Scott (D-GA) and Tom Suozzi (D-NY) appeared to “doze off” during Donald Trump's SOTU address. On our radar this week… “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”  – George Orwell, “1984” We opened last week's podcast with those words from Orwell's prescient dystopian novel. On Tuesday, Donald Trump lived those words in a gibbering, rambling, bitter, divisive, partisan, and lie-filled one-hour 47-minute diatribe. The speech was boycotted by dozens of Democrats … and a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court and, based on the TV ratings, the majority of Americans. Newly elected Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, in the official Democratic response, summed up Trump in one biting paragraph: “…who benefits from his rhetoric, his policies, his actions, the short list of laws he’s pushed through this Republican Congress? Somebody must be benefiting. He’s enriching himself, his family, his friends. The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There’s the coverup of the Epstein files, the crypto scams cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our. Nations capital. This is not what our founders envisioned. Not by a long shot. So I’ll ask again. Is the president working for you? We all know the answer is no.” Ryan Garza – Detroit Free Press A day later, Governor Whitmer offered her 8th and final State of the State assessment: realistic, grounded in reality, and a reflection of someone whose approval rating is 15 points higher than Trump's. Multiple polls show a stunning 60+ percent of Americans say Trump sucks while Whitmer's approval has consistently been in the low-to-mid 50's. Whitmer's speech focused on “kitchen table” issues: affordability, medical debt, housing and literacy. She somehow forgot to label Republicans as “Low IQ”, “Crazy”, “Lunatics” or responsible for all of Michigan's problems … she didn't even once blame anything on Rick Snyder … but she did take the opportunity to brag about Michigan athletes dominating the U.S. medal count at the Olympics. And she even high-fived House Speaker MAGA Matt Hall for working collaboratively on sick-time legislation! The contrasts between those two speeches frame this week's discussion. Later in the podcast, we are joined by two anti-authoritarian experts to discuss an issue facing many American families and neighbors: how we can talk with each other in this era of often-angry partisan divisions – and why it is critical that we do. We've all been there. Going to the Sunday family dinner that always devolves into a debate about Trump. A few of my extended family members are MAGA to the point where we avoid politics completely. Scrolling through Facebook and encountering that childhood friend whose feed has become a minefield of MAGA memes. For a decade, the conventional wisdom for surviving the American political divide has been “don't go there.” We've treated political topics like radioactive waste—best left buried for the sake of the relationship. The folks at the Democracy Investment Fund think that silence is costing us more than we realize. Their new free app, LSTN2U, is a bet on a radical idea: that we can actually talk to each other again, provided we stop trying to “win.” LSTN2U isn't a social media network or a news aggregator. It's essentially a flight simulator for difficult conversations. The free, nonpartisan app provides a judgment-free digital resource where users can practice realistic dialogue. We're joined by the two people behind this optimistic approach to politics: my friends Erin Dobson and Trygve Olson. LSTN2U is a free app: no upsells or hidden fees. Your data is not sold or used commercially. LSTN2U emphasizes: Active Listening: Truly hearing the “why” behind someone's “what.” Emotional Awareness: Identifying when your own “fight or flight” response is hijacking the logic centers of your brain. Boundary Setting: Learning how to stay in a conversation without losing your peace of mind—and knowing when it's OK to step back. Other issues on our radar this week that, in more normal times, would occupy an entire podcast include The appearance that Donald “Give Me the Nobel Peace Prize” Trump is on the verge of starting a war with Iran … a war that could rival the Iraq and Afghanistan wars in futility, and further alienate the United States from the world. This comes six months after Trump claimed to have obliterated Iran's nuclear weapons capabilities. Apparently obliteration has a short shelf life. The Epstein cover-up became even more evident with the revelation that dozens of documents pointing directly at Trump … including allegations of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl … have been hidden by the utterly corrupt Pam Bondi. But Republicans on Capitol Hill are more interested in the Clintons, with Bill and Hillary dragged in front of the House Oversight Committee this week for depositions that will keep the Epstein story in the headlines … but provide little else. After the Supreme Court told him his tariffs were illegal, Trump doubled down by imposing a 10 percent then 15 percent tariff on all imports. If, as Trump says, those tariffs would replace the federal income tax, it would be a huge financial windfall for the highest income taxpayers … his billionaire buddies, shifting the tax load to low- and middle-income families. Republicans are pushing to pass a bill to combat non-existent voter fraud. The so-called “SAVE” act would, in reality, burdening millions of Americans as they exercise their right to vote by requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. The proof: either a birth certificate or passport. Millions of American citizens, including low-income, minorities, seniors, and -get this- women who have a different last name than they were born with, would have to jump through hoops and incur costs to comply. FBI Director Kash Patel spent $1-million or more of taxpayer money for a thinly disguised junket to the Olympics, culminating with chugging beer with the victorious U.S. men's hockey team. Of course, he claimed official business as an excuse for his trip. New polling shows the race for Governor appears to show the race is a statistical tie, with Democrat Jocelyn Benson narrowly leading Republican John James and independent Mike Duggan. But the polling raises questions, especially because the poll was commissioned by supporters of Mike Duggan. The poll assumes James will be the survivor of a four-way GOP primary race, with 78-year-old Perry Johnson promising now to spend $10-million over the next few weeks in a statewide advertising blitz. Legislation has been introduced to limit the use of artificial intelligence to monitor workplace activity. State Representative Penelope Tsernoglou joined with Michigan AFL CIO President Ron Bieber to warn of abuses already happening as some employers use A.I. to monitor everything from computer activity to bathroom breaks. State House Speaker Matt Hall is floating a property tax relief plan funded by enacting a new tax on services – an idea once promoted unsuccessfully by Jennifer Granholm. The Department of Homeland Security says ICE officers will not interfere with voting precincts in November … but a lot of people are skeptical given the history of voting fraud conspiracy promoters making the promise.

Job hunting can feel like a full-time job in itself. Scrolling listings, second-guessing roles, and trying to stand out in a sea of applications. In this How I AI episode, we walk through how AI can quietly take some of that invisible work off your plate without doing the thinking for you. We talk through how AI can support you at each stage of the job search. From spotting roles that never make it onto LinkedIn or Seek, to getting a clearer picture of what a company is really like, and making sense of job ads that feel fuzzy or overcomplicated. We also cover how to use AI to strengthen your cover letter and CV without losing your own voice, and how it can help you prepare for interviews by practicing questions and refining your answers. Neo and I discuss How scheduled AI searches can monitor company job pages and surface hidden roles Using AI to research companies through annual reports, industry context, and social chatter What AI can and cannot realistically find on platforms like Reddit and Glassdoor How to use AI to decode job ads and understand what the role actually looks like day to day Why the strongest cover letters still start with your own words Using AI to critique and tailor your CV without rewriting your experience How AI can help you prepare for interviews by generating questions and giving feedback Practising interview answers using voice or dictation mode for extra confidence Download the Job Application Pro GPT: https://amantha-imber.kit.com/09db426fdd Connect with Neo Aplin on LinkedIn and via inventium.ai, where he leads Inventium’s AI training and upskilling work with organisations and teams.

Chris Terrell introduces a new episode format by sharing an impromptu hot seat coaching call from his Guild program's maintenance class. The featured coaching conversation is with Misty (a previous guest) who has lost about 190 pounds and maintained it, but struggles to add exercise consistently. Chris also mentions a free three-week audio weight loss coaching course available at becomingthin.com.In the coaching call, Misty explains her rigid standard that “exercise” must be a 45–60 minute gym session, combined with a chaotic schedule, low enjoyment of the gym, and lack of a compelling goal. She likes activities that feel like normal life (hiking, paddleboarding, lake swimming) and notes fear around goals that might expose physical limitations (including pulmonary concerns). Chris and the group identify the root causes as philosophy/definition of exercise, unrealistic expectations, and focusing on “being better” rather than building the habit of showing up. Alex shares his own progression from very small fitness goals (VR workouts/kettlebell swings) to daily training, emphasizing that intrusive resistance thoughts can remain while the habit continues.Chris guides Misty toward lowering the minimum standard to something “insultingly easy,” focusing first on consistency and accountability rather than the perfect program. He suggests setting a small, repeatable baseline (e.g., three days a week for 10 minutes for several weeks), allowing overdelivery without raising the standard too soon, reducing friction by taking tiny next steps (putting on workout clothes, driving to the park), and pairing exercise with enjoyable elements (music, audiobooks, scrolling, phone calls). He reinforces that since Misty isn't chasing a specific performance goal yet, she can sample different activities and let a motivating goal emerge later. The episode ends with Chris highlighting how root cause analysis and coaching can shorten the time it takes to solve recurring problems.00:00 Welcome Back, Champion: Learning From Failure00:34 Chris's 125-Lb Story & the 6 Levers That Change Results01:13 Why This Episode: A Real Coaching Call on Adding Exercise03:06 Quick Plug: Free 3-Week Weight Loss Coaching Course04:01 Misty's Roadblocks: Gym Hate, Time, and a Chaotic Schedule06:08 Finding a Real Fitness Goal (Pushups, Pullups… or Something Bigger)08:08 The Real Root Cause: Rigid Definitions & Fear of Not Being Capable12:47 Resetting Expectations: What Counts as Exercise?

#689: Most people think forgetting a name means their brain is failing.  Dr. Majid Fotuhi, a neurologist who taught at Johns Hopkins and Harvard, sees thousands of patients convinced they have Alzheimer's – only to discover they're dealing with poor sleep or stress. Dr. Fotuhi joins us to break down the difference between cognitive decline, dementia and Alzheimer's disease. He explains why chronic stress physically shrinks your hippocampus — the thumb-sized memory center in your brain — and how twelve weeks of lifestyle changes reversed cognitive decline in 84 percent of his patients. We talk about the five hidden taxes draining your brain: sedentary lifestyle, poor sleep, junk food, chronic stress and mental laziness. Scrolling social media after work counts as mental laziness, even if your day job involves intense focus. Dr. Fotuhi offers a different framework: five pillars that compound over time. Exercise ranks first because it multiplies mitochondria in your brain cells, reduces inflammation and generates new neurons in your hippocampus. Walking 10,000 steps daily cuts Alzheimer's risk by 50 percent. Sleep comes second. Your brain rinses itself during deep sleep, flushing out amyloid — the core protein in Alzheimer's disease. One night of poor sleep increases amyloid in your brain. We cover nutrition (skip the junk food debate), mindset (heart rate variability breathing reduces Alzheimer's footprints) and brain training. Dr. Fotuhi memorizes 70 names in a single lecture and explains his technique for remembering credit card numbers using mental imagery. The conversation covers London taxi drivers who grew their hippocampus by memorizing 10,000 streets, why stress management beats supplements, and how Swedish students learning Arabic increased their brain volume in three months.

This week on The Wellness Scoop, we're talking about why variety in movement matters for long-term health, what new data is telling us about the rise in bowel cancer among younger adults, and why so many of us are starting to question how screens shape our time, attention and wellbeing. We break down large new studies showing that mixing up how you move, even in small amounts, is linked to a lower risk of early death, and why the benefits level off long before extremes. We then explore new data on bowel cancer in under-50s, looking at alcohol intake, ultra-processed foods, red and processed meat, fibre and physical activity, and what the evidence consistently shows helps reduce risk without fear or all-or-nothing thinking. We also dig into research showing that scrolling is the most common but least enjoyable way we spend our free time, and what people actually find more rewarding instead. Finally, we explore the growing return to analogue living, from craft hobbies and physical books to analogue bags and low-tech swaps, and why this shift may be less about nostalgia and more about reclaiming attention in an increasingly digital world.

It's Friday and time for the weekend... but why are the weekend's so chaotic?!? It's supposed to be the resting time, but with little kids in the house you're lucky if you can get a 5 minute nap in. This weekend, Kelly is headed to the Chicago auto show and debating on doing a viral trend on the way there. Is it cute or thirsty?  Speaking of social media, Kelly and Lizz have some new Fast Lane Philosophies to do with social media. This might influence you to take some time off social media. But not too much time away from the Car Mom of course. Could it be your new micro-hobby? Kelly is about to make giving up sugar for lent her new micro-hobby! Will she make it?  A listener sent a message asking for advice on two row SUVs and Kelly also has more advice on where to get your kids clothes. In Industry News, they speculate on what could be announced at the Chicago auto show, the Santa Fe redesign and which car companies are spending on commercials for the big game on Sunday. Most importantly, what are Kelly and Lizz going to be eating during the Super Bowl? They break down their menu for you!
