Trevor and Eugene sit down with neuroscientist and content creator Emily McDonald (aka EmOnTheBrain) to explore how our brains shape the way we think, feel, and behave. From the real limits (and possibilities) of neuroplasticity to the surprisingly persistent pull of old habits, McDonald breaks down what's actually happening inside our nervous systems. Along the way, the trio dive into Emily's own neurological journey, how elite athletes train their brains for peak performance, and even the spiritual energy of Sedona — all in an effort to understand how we change, and why our brains don't always make it easy.

We are back at you again. We've got another fun topic today. This is one, honestly, we talk about these a lot. We talk about morning huddles. That's what we're gonna do, spoiler alert, morning huddles. We talk about these a lot, but I feel like we have not had an awesome recording, an awesome podcast recording on this in quite a little while. So I'm actually super excited for what's to come. And I've got Ms. here with me today. cleared her calendar for some podcasting time with me today, which I always appreciate and adore. And we're actually, we pre-record these, you guys know this, so I'm just gonna drop this now. It kind of makes it a little funky, because this may be the end of March. I'm not sure where you're gonna get this, where this drops, so enjoy. But we're getting ready for our in-person mastermind. We'll be having another one in September, so that's why I don't mind talking about it. It's the end of February now, recording for March. But we're getting ready for our in-person event. Literally two days from now. I can't believe that I moved podcasting here, but Trish I think we were I was at least sick I had to reschedule everybody's been sick, but holy cow what an amazing week I feel like the energy and the team is is crazy We've got a slew of doctors and office managers coming to Phoenix tomorrow ⁓ At the airport is gonna be wild and I'm excited to see everybody in person Trish. How are you? How excited are you for this mastermind? Trish Lee Ackerman (01:26) so jazzed. They've just been so fun. It's one, it's always just neat to actually be able to like touch the people that we work with, hug the people that we work with, shake hands with the clients, with the new clients, and just on site is always just really, really, really fun. So I am very, excited for this and our weather is perfect for the people that are coming from the cold. So they'll be very happy. The spouses that are attending will really be enjoying the pool. It's just going to be a great, a great experience for everybody. The Dental A Team (01:43) I agree. I agree. think end of February in Phoenix has to be one of the best ideas we've ever had. I remember a couple years ago I have a practice out in Georgia and she and her girlfriends do, they do trips every year and it's this girls trip and it's so cute and it's so fun and they came out here and it was, it would have been like two weeks ago our time now so beginning of February which is always, February in Phoenix is, I think it's the best time. of the year to be in Phoenix. Hands down, February in Phoenix is my favorite month. And it poured. And it was freezing. And she's like, girl, we came here because it was snowing at home. And I was like, I they went to Sedona and it was freezing. And I was like, ⁓ dang it. But now, fast forward, this weekend ⁓ is literally the best time of the year to be here. And when we go in person, the reason this is super relevant is we do Trish Lee Ackerman (02:34) I bet. The Dental A Team (02:51) Morning huddles we implement with all of our practices. We strongly believe in them. We will tell you why. When we come in person to you, we get this really cool energy. And gosh, we love being boots on the ground in offices, seeing where you guys work, seeing how you work together, getting that intel and that information. And it's just, I think all consultants can say, sets us on fire. Having you guys all come to us is just like heartwarming in a way. It touches our souls that you want to be here with us and it's just a different, it's a different energy, a different vibration and having so many really cool brains and minds melding together to help one another and seeing the community and the camaraderie is just so cool. And I just, I'm so excited. So we're, we're stoked. The next one's in September. If you're not coming to this one or you're not, by the time you listen to this, you're not reminiscing on how cool it was. You better be here in September. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. That's how you're going to get your ticket. You tell us you want to be here, we'll figure out a way. with that, we won't be talking about morning huddles this week because we do them as consultants. But Trish, morning huddles, I know, are super important. think every consultant probably on Earth right now is like, you should be doing morning huddles, especially Dental A Team consultants. What is your why behind a morning huddle? How do you explain the practices? How do we convince the people here that are like, we don't need morning huddle. What's your why? Trish Lee Ackerman (04:28) My why is because number one, communication to me is always like, you're never going to lose from communicating. When you have everybody on the same page in the morning to kind of start to direct the show for the day, it prepares you for those hiccups that can actually come up. There's this, I might have shared this with you, Tiff, there's this, and I don't remember the name of it, but it's a Navy SEAL video. And basically the title of it is like, if you want to change the world, make your bed every morning. The Dental A Team (04:55) Yes. Trish Lee Ackerman (04:58) When I watched that, was like, making the bed every morning, that's the morning huddle for the dental teams. And what he shares is like, if you can't do a simple task, like make your bed in the morning, how are you supposed to be prepared as your day goes on to face something more challenging? Because that's a simple task. The morning huddle is also, it's a pretty simple task, but it's kind of a big one because you get to look at this. Yes, you get to look at the schedule as a team. We don't need to go patient by patient by patient. Everybody can see that they're on the schedule. What we're looking for is our opportunities and to celebrate a win. Like do we have a win from yesterday? That will certainly get the team charged up. But what is happening today? Who's coming in and where are the opportunities, especially like say from the hygiene department, who's coming in on the hygiene schedule today with an existing treatment need? It's clear it's there because they didn't do it last time. We talk to them about it. when can we collaborate real quick on what are we going to do differently today? Do we need new photography? Like what's the story with that patient? But it's to align us as a team, note, like find our places. Like this would be a good place for an emergency. And, and again, just create clarity and accountability on what that day looks like right now. We know the dentistry changes many times and can throughout a day. However, again, when we orchestrate together as a team in the morning and we start to direct the show, those days will, it's almost like it's guaranteed they're going to flow easier. They just are. The Dental A Team (06:38) Yeah, in compare to pull out your, your Navy SEAL video and like really combine those pieces. What you, what you said in there was preparing for preparing for the day. If you can do this task, like when something more difficult comes along. So it made me think as you're speaking there, you're saying, talk about the unscheduled treatment and what are we going to do differently? Because what I, what that said to me that I smashed those two things together in my brain. And I thought, well, if I'm the hygienist or dental assistant and then I'm like, okay doc, what do you want to do? One, efficiency is my jam. One, that is a waste of time. If I've got the patient there but I have to wait for the doctor to come in to have a conversation about the treatment that was on there, we're losing time, we're losing trust, we're losing an opportunity. And then two, if I have to troubleshoot those all day, we haven't already troubleshot them, I'm troubleshooting those all day. and my mill breaks, my mill, my crown broke in the mill. And now I'm troubleshooting that. Plus I've got another patient coming in that has unscheduled treatment that I'm responsible for that I have to get scheduled and I have to get their re-care. But this thing just over here, and now the ultrasonic is spilling water all over the floor. Like if I could have gotten all of those other small, like making the bed style stresses out in the morning with my team informed plans, this broken crown. The ultrasonic, the phones went down, the internet isn't working today. My car broke and I can't get to my appointment. All of these things, these happen every day, every single day. So I think Trish, you'd like, I talk about morning huddles all the time, you guys, but you just changed it. You just even changed the small perspective for me just now and got me lit up of how can I help practices reduce small variable stresses. so that those big stresses have space to live. Trish Lee Ackerman (08:37) Right. Yep. That's exactly it. And if the doctor, you know, let's say there is a nine o'clock patient coming in that has unscheduled treatment from the last visit, but the doctor is now, like his time has now been used up with an emergency and his other patient has three composites that are trying to That's how he's fun. Now, hygienist is always already prepared because we talked about it this morning. We know new photography is going to be necessary and ask the right question. The doctor may not even need to go in there. The Dental A Team (08:55) Yeah. Trish Lee Ackerman (09:07) during that particular time. So it's just the organization of those what ifs that can happen throughout the day. Many teams, what do they usually tell us Tiff? Our huddles aren't productive and we'll go what? Because they literally just sit there and review the schedule. We don't need to. Yeah, I know me too. I'm like, well, no wonder it's boring. That's 15 minutes of your life that you could have slept in 15 more minutes. But when they do just kind of just pull out the meat and potatoes. The Dental A Team (09:08) Yeah. Yeah. And drive's been crazy. Seriously. Trish Lee Ackerman (09:36) Where do we have opportunities on the schedule today? If that, nine o'clock hygiene patient does have existing treatment needs, are we able to slide them over and say, 10, can we make some other things work? And when they do it more like that, when they look at it more as like they're trying to design the business for the day versus just review who's coming in for the day, then they do find them way more productive. The Dental A Team (10:02) Yeah, I completely agree. I thought, Trish, as you were talking there too, I thought how many doctors complain, how many team members are listening today and you can hear your doctor say, how do you not have an x-ray? Or they come in the room or how many hygienists, I know even as a dental assistant, I get so frustrated if he walked in the room and he's like, I need an x-ray. And I'm like, ⁓ I could have had that for him. Like I could have been prepared. I want to be a step ahead. so that we're saving those spaces. And you mentioned like doing the treatment today, same day treatment. If we've already talked about it as a dental assistant, I've preset a tray, not opened, right? But I've got everything that I need that I can throw in a room for when that patient says yes, because we already talked about it. But being a dental assistant, and I speak from the dental assistant space, because I was a dental assistant for a really long time, and I loved it. And being the dental assistant, it would drive me nuts when I didn't have the space, the capacity or the forethought. I didn't know something was coming. And then the hygienist comes at me frantic and rushed because she's like, my gosh, he wants to do this now. And he said it and I didn't, and I'm like, okay, like I'm taking on your energy. And I'm like, my gosh, like now everybody's frantic. And now the feeling goes wrong. And what should have been 30 minutes just took an hour and a half. And the patient that should have been fine, that had a scheduled appointment is now waiting because we just, we weren't prepared. And then I think I offended an office once I didn't mean to but I think I did because they're they loved the doctors loved to go through every single appointment and literally to the point of like 20 modl and I'm like, are we talking about it because it should be a crown? No, that's what we're doing And so I told them like you're just basically telling your team that you can't they can't read a schedule Trish Lee Ackerman (11:48) I'm not wearing glasses. That's exactly it. The Dental A Team (11:57) you should have already done this. Everyone should have already looked at the schedule and if you want to meet with your dental assistants and powwow for every single appointment that way, by all means, but your hygienist in your front office, they were checked out 20 minutes ago. They're out. I think I slightly offended them, but they changed it and they left it. It was fine. Sometimes that's my job, right? It's like, sometimes we have to say the things you don't want to hear and move forward with grace. So we did it. And then you you mentioned well when you mentioned a lot of practices are like they're not productive. I agree. So Trish agrees Sometimes they're not productive. So we come in and we help you make them productive another thing that I hear that I've had to troubleshoot with some offices and I know you have as well is We can't all be there early enough right maybe I have some doctors right I have some moms that drop their kids off in the morning and so they're really kind of skating in or some hygienists that are kind of skating in and Or they've got split shifts. So they've got so many people that they've got multiple, you know, shifts coming in. And I've got some things that I've trouble shot, but what do you, how do you help them navigate that as well Trish to still get the prep and we call it like winning your day. Like how are we, how are we going to win today? Trish Lee Ackerman (13:11) That is a common one, especially for like the larger practices. You know, I have a doctor, I have a practice that there's five doctors, everybody's coming in at different times. So what we have done with that team is they just have, have like mini huddles with their OM. So before, you know, if the, let's say one group comes in at eight, next group comes in at nine, that group comes in at 8.45 and they meet with the OM. So the OM sometimes it's like on some days does depend. She's having three separate huddles. but she's running them just as efficiently as if it was an entire group. So those team members that are coming in at the later shifts, their focus is on like their columns, their hygienists that they're working with that day and the doctor. But as far as like getting out of it, there's always a solution to have a huddle, like always. Some teams will say like, well, we could do the end of the day. I never, ever, ever, ever recommend that. The Dental A Team (13:59) always. Trish Lee Ackerman (14:09) People want to go home. Dentistry is hard. It takes a lot out of us. And if you expect a team to want to sit with you at 4 p.m. or 4 30 p.m. to review tomorrow, it's probably going to land on deaf ears. But those other split shifts, that's the way it's handled. So you have your key people. They meet with the O.M. that is, you know, that was present for the main, the big morning. It's just delivered in a smaller group, but the alignment gets to stay the same. The Dental A Team (14:30) All the other ones. Yeah. Yeah, it's like you're running it like there, you have so many doctors. So you're running it, those doctors are essentially working as an office, right? So you're running them as an office rather than like the full office because you're doing that doctor, their assistants, their hygienist and the crew that will be together. So I love that. I've also had a, I've had a doctor, he was, he was a really funny guy, is Louisiana. ⁓ Trish Lee Ackerman (14:46) Exactly. Yeah. The Dental A Team (15:04) And so he just, he was just a funny guy, you know, and he was like, well, me and my truck, right? Like he's coming in with his big dually from an hour away because he lives on a farm. And he's like, I can't, I can't leave any earlier. And I was like, that's fine. You've got speakerphone in your, your truck. It's going to be surround sound. You're there with them on surround sound in your truck. And he was like, you're right. And I'm like, there's no excuse. You're not doing anything else. You're just driving. So. Trish Lee Ackerman (15:29) Okay. Yes. The Dental A Team (15:33) get there and he actually ended up more often than not getting there on time to do the huddle because he was intentional about it. was just, you just have to, you have to get through the block. You know, you have to see that there is a way around and normally you're gonna accomplish what it is that you're trying to do. I also have another office, both of us have been into this office together. We've done them together and they are really good at Blocks, very good at blocks and they have a lot of blocks, a lot of blockers for huddle because they just, they just, they do. The timing is just not right for 90 % of the team. And that's really, that's really hard. And it's kind of, it was kind of defeating almost to them. Like, this is something that I'm hearing you, we should do this, but like, can't, you know, and it was defeating for them. And I was like, cool, do it at lunch. So what they do is they'll do a 15 minute huddle at the end of their lunch hour. So they go to lunch a little early, you know, they kind of adjusted their schedule there and they'll huddle for the next 24 hours. So they do this afternoon and tomorrow morning and then look at tomorrow afternoon, but then split the day. So they're kind of adjusted it a little bit, but they're still meeting. And what you said in the beginning Trish was communication. And for most of my practices, and I think We all experience this, Trish. Doctors come in and they're like, we need systems and our communication sucks. I'm like, well, you have systems and your communication is because you're not talking to each other. And so they're all in their own little worlds. They're in their own lanes. And what happens is we get this idea of what we want it to be in our lane. know my patients. I'm handling my patients. You do you. And we get siloed. And this and handoffs force communication. Trish Lee Ackerman (17:10) Yes. The Dental A Team (17:33) so that the team is a team. We can't be a team without actually talking to one another and it forces that. And so even for the practices that have to do splits, but they're talking to their OM, their OM is the glue, which actually Trish, what you did there and what they've done is solidify even more that the office manager is the glue of the practice because she's the one that they rely on. Trish Lee Ackerman (17:58) the heart of cell. The Dental A Team (18:02) to ensure that they're communicating correctly. it doesn't, morning huddle, nothing we do. Nothing we do has to be exactly the same as the way somebody else did it. And I think that's the beauty of our consulting and the way that we work with our clients is that we are going to take the system and the idea that we know works and we're tailor it around what's going to work for you. So it's not a one size fits all. It's not an everyday at 7.45, everyone in the country. is meeting for a morning huddle. It's just not. And I have other practices that will do it by video, by Slack. So they'll record the morning huddle, and then the office manager is responsible for meeting with them, and they watch the video together. And kind of very similar, but they've got the video, so they've got the input from the first team, because the doctors and the assistants do kind of mingle a little bit more. ⁓ So it's kind of stacking communication throughout the day. But I think the biggest piece there is it's, yeah. Trish Lee Ackerman (19:01) That's another good one. That is a good one. I personally have not had to roll it out, but I've worked with some practices that have done that. And I mean, there was no complaints and I was on a call with Kiera and ⁓ she was talking to a practice about doing that. So mean, there's always a way. There's always a way. It would just be 15 minutes to look at today and maybe even tomorrow, depending on the size of the team. today, today is really the most important. If we can get 15 minutes. The Dental A Team (19:17) Yes. Yes. Trish Lee Ackerman (19:30) somehow, someway, everybody seeing the plan for the day, then it's probably going to be a much better day than it could have been if you didn't have the 15 minutes set aside for this. The Dental A Team (19:41) I agree. I agree. All right, Trish. So thank you. I really wanted this to be on the go. A why on morning huddles? Because we've talked about morning huddles so much before. And most of our practices, at least, are doing them. I think our action items should be, if you are not doing a huddle, what are the top three things, Trish, that you would tell the doctors and practice managers out there to implement tomorrow if they are not doing morning huddle already? Trish Lee Ackerman (20:10) and not even considering it like they're not gonna have it. Okay, then they've got to do, then they've got to have some form of like say a shared Google Doc where there's the schedule and they can put notes. Somebody's gotta have, they've got to have a view of the day with some kind of commentary that they can go in and I mean, Slack there's that, but maybe just the Google Drive, the schedule's there, they add their commentary, it's reviewed. The Dental A Team (20:13) Yep. Trish Lee Ackerman (20:38) They may be even initial so that they've read it. They can add more commentary, but something with this day in the office has got to be reviewed by the key team members for sure. And if that is something that they do, via a shared document, then that's what they do. it's got, like it's kind of a non-negotiable. It's got to happen. They're going to run into chaos. It's not fair to them. and to have just something at a glance, that wouldn't even take 15 minutes. That'd probably be more, maybe even like five if they were doing it individually. But each provider does need to have a key team member with them. They need to review the day and add commentary and read any other commentary that was placed there. The Dental A Team (21:26) Awesome. Thank you. Thank you. Perfect. All right, guys, go take a look at what you're doing. If you're doing morning huddle, phenomenal. Thank you so much.

John is "The Voice in My Helmet" on Instagram, but there is so much more to this story. What if a single ride could reset your sense of time, place, and what truly matters? We sit down with John Gorley from eastern New Mexico—yes, the neighbor down the dirt road where the stars burn bright—to trace a journey that moves from Route 66 nostalgia to the modern meaning of riding for peace, love, and presence. This isn't a gear checklist or a speed brag. It's a story of how two wheels can carry us into deeper connection with each other and the land.We start with small towns and big skies, then zoom into the centennial energy around Route 66 and what happens when interstates bypass history. John's Honda Goldwing becomes a quiet hero: a machine so smooth it disappears, leaving the ride to do the talking. The heart beats loudest during a father-daughter trip that runs Albuquerque to Sedona, the Grand Canyon, and Las Vegas, then drops into Death Valley where June heat boils gas and vapor-lock forces a hard stop. Less than a day later, they're above 12,000 feet in Yosemite, playing in snow. In between, there's ice cream, laughter after a parking lot tip-over, Highway 1's cliffs, the Avenue of the Giants' humbling scale, and the eerie beauty of Nevada's Highway 50, the loneliest road with Pony Express ghosts and a horizon that never seems to arrive.“The voice in my helmet” isn't a brand—it was his daughter, the navigator, the companion who turned miles into meaning. When she said he'd miss that voice, she named a feeling every rider knows: the way presence sounds when you're truly in it. John now uses that phrase on Instagram to share short, unscripted notes from the road—sunrises, quiet encouragement, and reminders to notice the light. We talk about why positivity matters, how riding can dissolve worry, and why gratitude grows when we choose the slow road, the older route, the scenic pass. Colorado's Million Dollar Highway, Silverton's night silence after the last steam train departs, and the Cumbres and Toltec line add texture to the map and proof that wonder is a renewable resource.If you crave stories that honor small places, reliable bikes, family bonds, and the simple joy of stepping outside, this one's for you. Hit play, ride with us through heat and snow, and rediscover the peace that waits on the other side of the next bend. If it resonates, subscribe, share with a riding friend, and leave a review to help others find the road.

Inspired by watching visitors in Sedona bury their faces in their phones rather than soak in the stunning surroundings, Jim dives into the science behind why we're addicted not to our devices, but to avoiding ourselves — unpacking dopamine loops, variable rewards, and how constant scrolling has become a tool for escaping self-reflection. Jim reveals that the average person spends just three minutes a day in genuine self-reflection yet two and a half hours on social media. That imbalance isn't just a time problem — it's an identity problem. Every major spiritual tradition, from Buddhism to shamanism, points to silence not as a practice but as a natural state of being. The noise of our devices keeps us living on the outside, cut off from the authentic power within. This episode is a call to stop running and start listening — to yourself. Jim offers one simple, powerful challenge that can begin your transformation today. What You'll Discover in This Episode: (00:00) The phone addiction hiding in plain sight — Jim opens with a striking scene in Sedona and reveals that our phone obsession isn't about devices — it's about avoiding the silence and depth of our own inner world. (05:51) Dopamine, doom scrolling, and the slot machine in your pocket — Jim breaks down the brain science of variable rewards and why we're wired to keep scrolling, chasing the next dopamine hit the same way a gambler pulls a lever. (11:09) Silence triggers the default mode network — Why the brain literally interprets stillness as danger, and how burying ourselves in social media is a way to sidestep self-reflection, anxiety, and unresolved emotions. (18:24) Social media steals your soulful identity — Constant stimulation keeps us trapped in a 3D external identity, disconnected from the higher, more powerful essence of who we truly are. (25:30) Every spiritual tradition points to silence — From Buddhism to shamanism, the path to wisdom and transformation has always run through stillness — not apps, algorithms, or content. (32:00) The 60-second practice that starts it all — Jim's practical challenge: before you scroll, pause for one minute and notice what arises — because what surfaces in that silence is exactly what you've been avoiding. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway You are not addicted to your phone — you are addicted to avoiding yourself. Every scroll is a retreat from your own power and wisdom. The silence you've been running from isn't empty; it's full — full of the answers your analytical mind can never find. The next time you reach for your phone, pause for 60 seconds. The discomfort that rises isn't a signal to scroll. It's an invitation to evolve. Stop digging the hole. Get quiet. The power you've been seeking externally has been inside you all along.

Welcome to another episode of The AZREIA Show! In this episode, Mike Del Prete explains why creative financing is becoming increasingly important in today's market of higher interest rates, tighter underwriting, and cautious buyers. He previews AZREIA's March 9 expert panel and the March 14–15 Creative Deal Makers Academy, and emphasizes that successful investors need to be problem-solvers with multiple tools—not "one-trick ponies." Mike walks through strategies like buying subject-to the existing mortgage for cash flow while considering disclosures, due-on-sale clauses, and exit plans, using seller financing or seller carryback deals where the seller acts as the bank, illustrated with a Sedona deal structured with payments, interest, down payment, and a balloon through title and loan servicing. He also explains how lease options allow investors to control property and profit from rent spreads and future purchase opportunities. He cautions against chasing "no money down" deals, skipping education, or assigning bad deals, and stresses the importance of attending AZREIA events and staying informed on industry legislation. Whether you're a new or seasoned investor, this episode is packed with insights on creative strategies to protect your deals, maximize profits, and thrive in any market. 01:06 Why Creative Finance Now 02:22 Investor Toolbox Mindset 04:52 Subject To Basics 07:34 Seller Financing Explained 09:39 Sedona Deal Breakdown 13:19 Lease Options Strategy 16:34 Who Should Use It 18:46 Final Takeaways and Events -- Contact Alden of Silver Crest Opportunity Fund at http://silvercrestopportunityfund.com "AZREIA does not endorse specific investments.

So often we move through life repeating the same emotional loops without realizing the deeper belief driving them. In this meditation, I invite you to slow down, breathe, and gently uncover the belief connected to a pattern in your life that may be rooted in feeling unworthy.Together, we enter a calming visualization where you create a safe inner space, clarify a true desire that belongs fully to you, and symbolically plant that intention so it can grow. From there, I guide you through releasing the belief or pattern blocking that desire so you can return feeling lighter, more aligned, and more connected to your worth. If this meditation resonates with you, I'd also love to invite our Lotus Rising community to join me in Sedona on September 12th for Lotus Rising Live.

Each year, the Tech Podcasts Network honors the most compelling innovations showcased at CES. The Best of CES Awards highlight companies whose technologies demonstrate exceptional creativity, real‑world impact, and forward‑looking vision. The 2026 awards span energy, health, wellness, wearables, and artificial intelligence, reflecting the diversity and ambition of this year's show. Five winners were selected by the hosts, production team, and the full TPN staff, each representing a different facet of technological progress.Commonwealth Fusion Systems - Scott Ertz's AwardScott Ertz of PLUGHITZ Live selected Commonwealth Fusion Systems for its work in advancing fusion energy. The company develops fusion power plants designed to deliver clean, carbon‑free energy through a fundamentally different process than traditional nuclear fission. Its approach uses compact, high‑field tokamak systems engineered to achieve net energy gain, a milestone long considered out of reach. The company's SPARC demonstration device, currently under assembly in Massachusetts, is expected to validate this capability. The award recognizes the significance of bringing fusion energy from theoretical ambition to practical engineering, marking a potential turning point in global energy development.Coroflo - Production Team AwardThe TPN production team selected Coroflo for its innovation in maternal and infant health. The company developed a smart nipple shield capable of measuring milk transfer during breastfeeding, addressing a long‑standing challenge for new parents and healthcare providers. The device offers real‑time insight into feeding volume, helping families understand whether infants are receiving adequate nutrition. This technology supports breastfeeding success during the critical early months of development and provides data that has historically been unavailable outside clinical environments. The award acknowledges the company's commitment to solving a deeply personal and widely experienced problem through thoughtful engineering.Hydrawav3 - Serge Velazquez's AwardSerge Velazquez of PLUGHITZ Live selected Hydrawav3 for its compact wellness device designed to support hydration and recovery. The system uses a portable form factor and user‑friendly interface to deliver wellness‑focused functionality intended for everyday use. The company's development process, which began as a small‑scale effort in Sedona, reflects a commitment to accessible health technology. The award recognizes the team's dedication to creating a device that blends practicality, portability, and wellness‑driven design, as well as the strong reception it received from attendees and potential partners during the show.Rokid - Don Baine's AwardDon Baine, The Gadget Professor, selected Rokid for its advanced smart glasses platform. The glasses integrate long‑battery‑life performance, real‑time translation, high‑quality audio, and extended video capture capabilities. A micro‑projector embedded in the frame enables heads‑up display functionality, including navigation overlays and contextual information. The glasses also support prescription lens integration, expanding accessibility for everyday use. The award highlights the company's achievement in delivering a wearable device that performs reliably across multiple use cases, demonstrating maturity in a category that has often struggled with durability, battery limitations, and inconsistent functionality.Algorized - TPN Best of CES 2026 Team AwardThe Tech Podcasts Network's collective Best of CES 2026 Award was presented to Algorized for its life‑detection artificial intelligence platform. The company develops models capable of identifying human presence through environmental sensing, enabling applications in rescue operations, autonomous systems, and safety‑critical environments. The technology supports scenarios where visibility is limited or obstructed, allowing machines to recognize human life even when traditional sensors cannot. The award reflects the team's belief that this capability represents a foundational advancement for physical AI, human‑machine interaction, and real‑world safety. The selection acknowledges both the technical achievement and the potential societal impact of deploying life‑sensing AI across industries.ConclusionThe Tech Podcasts Network Best of CES 2026 Awards celebrate companies that push boundaries and address meaningful challenges through innovation. From clean energy and maternal health to wellness, wearables, and AI‑driven safety, this year's winners represent the breadth of creativity shaping the future of technology. Each award honors a distinct contribution to progress, reflecting the diverse and transformative spirit of CES.

Is it really possible for one person to make a dent in the suffering of the world? In this episode Thom explains why the most powerful contribution begins with ending our own suffering and aligning with the Unified Field through Vedic Meditation. He traces the way everyday gossip, blame and negativity ripple out into global conflict, and how twenty four hour bliss quietly reverses that trend from the inside out. Listen in for a radically practical reframing of peace, responsibility and your role in the evolution of consciousness.Episode Highlights[00:45] Q - How can individuals relieve world suffering?[01:11] A - Ending Personal Suffering to Help the World[04:05] Living in Twenty Four Hour Bliss[07:10] The Seagull and the Stolen Eggs[10:00] Where Global Conflict Really Begins[13:30] Why War Never Delivers Real Peace[16:49] Ending Gossip with Dignity and Silence[20:22] Choosing Beauty and Generosity Over Hate[23:22] Silent Presence as a Gift to PeaceYou can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/EqbrHWEtwakUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/ Registration is now open for Thom's only rounding retreat for 2026, in Sedona from May 21-25.This is your one and only opportunity this year for deep rest, stress release and consciousness expansion through industrial-strength meditation, along with twice-daily knowledge sessions with Thom.You'll enjoy delicious retreat-friendly meals and the beauty and healing powers of the Red Rocks of Sedona.

In this illuminating episode of First Contact, host Eesha Patel welcomes Lisa Puzio Strickland, PhD, a speaker, researcher, and expert in UAPs and non-human intelligences. Holding a doctorate in philosophy with an emphasis in parapsychology from the University of Metaphysics in Sedona, Arizona, Lisa brings a rare blend of academic rigor and personal intuitive experience to the conversation. Her dissertation explored how the acknowledgment of UAP and non-human intelligence — and the disclosure itself — will benefit humanity psychologically, philosophically, and spiritually. Lisa's journey into this field began in childhood, growing up in Los Angeles with precognitive dreams and intuitive experiences that both fascinated and frightened her. After a successful career in radio and television, she turned her focus inward, deep-diving into quantum physics, Heart Math Institute research, and the science of consciousness — before recognising the profound overlap between parapsychology and the UAP/NHI phenomenon. Today, she is a board member of several UAP organisations and a sought-after speaker at major conferences, including Contact in the Desert. Episode Breakdown with Timestamps: [00:00:03] – Introduction: Eesha introduces Lisa Puzio Strickland and her background in parapsychology and UAP/NHI research. [00:01:00] – Lisa's Origin Story: Growing up in Los Angeles with early precognitive dreams and intuitive experiences, navigating a conservative Baptist upbringing. [00:07:23] – Personal Experiences and the Power of Intuition: Stories of intuition saving Lisa from harm, including a mysterious woman at an airport and a car incident, and what these moments reveal about our conscious connection to the universe. [00:11:15] – Filters of Consciousness: How belief systems shape what we perceive, from orbs seen as angels to UAP craft dismissed entirely due to inattentional blindness. [00:22:11] – UAP Sightings and Personal Contact: Lisa shares her first sighting — a moving orb-like light in the night sky — and Eesha shares how her own contact began through meditation and telepathy. [00:25:54] – Types of Non-Human Intelligence: An overview of the paranormal-UAP overlap, psionics, and the four main NHI types acknowledged by government and military insiders. [00:32:08] – They've Always Been Here: A look at the deep historical presence of non-human intelligence across civilisations, and why they may have been deliberately mislabelled throughout history. [00:35:40] – The Impact of Disclosure: How UAP disclosure will transform science, metaphysics, and personal belief systems — and why humanity must remain open to radically new truths. [00:40:18] – Where to Find Lisa: Lisa shares her website, social media, upcoming projects, and UAP communities she recommends for those wanting to go deeper.

We'd love to hear from you, send us a text about your favorite show!Some oracle decks feel incredibly insightful. Others sit there looking gorgeous while you keep reaching for that one familiar favorite again and again. Every deck carries its own energy, and part of working with Oracle Cards is learning how each deck wants to work with you.In this episode, we're chatting about what happens beyond the box description — how two decks that look identical can feel totally different once they're in your hands, and why getting to know your cards like a companion (not just a tool) can help you tap into a flow of higher energy. When you learn to fully honor and exalt the energy of your Oracle Cards, you'll be blown away at the level of insight you'll receive.If you've ever wondered why bonding with certain decks feels easy while others feel blah, this episode will help you shift the way you approach your cards and bring more clarity, connection, and trust into your readings. You'll never look at Oracle cards the same way again.***2026 in-person Reiki classes in Sedona are scheduled!

What really happens when you put a room full of successful entrepreneurs together for three days in Sedona? Is it some "secret club" strategy that nobody else knows about? In this episode, I'm giving you an exclusive look inside our first 7-figure mastermind retreat of the year. This is the 10th year I've run this mastermind, and I'm sharing the raw, unfiltered observations of what is actually working in the online business space right now. We're diving into the framework that balances your growth, why your current plateau is actually an invitation to expand your "energetic container," and the one law of problem-solving that will change how you handle hurdles forever. If you've been feeling like you're working harder but staying in the same place, it's likely because you're running the wrong play. These are the specific patterns I'm seeing across the board with our highest-level students, and it's time for you to use what they're learning and step into the identity of a true Digital CEO too!

It's very fashionable to talk about boundaries, especially in the context of relationships or expectations of others. One could argue that boundaries are useful, but once they become a cage, they become a problem.In this episode, Thom unpacks the difference between living inside sharp routines and cultivating real unboundedness, the kind that actually refreshes the nervous system and expands your capacity to meet the need of the time.Thom also explains why “control” is a false strategy in relationships, what it really means to meet another person's conscious receptivity, and how empathy becomes a practical tool for clearer expectations, cleaner communication, and less suffering.Episode Highlights[00:45] The Problem With Sharp Boundaries [04:19] Why Classic Approaches To Freedom Fail [07:34] The Shocking Truth About Repetitive Thinking [10:56] How To Break Free From Boundaries [15:10] Making Unboundedness A Daily Routine [19:17] The Goal Is Not Permanent Meditation [20:11] Q - How do we show up differently in relationships as we expand consciousness?

I so enjoyed my conversation Andy Hnilo, the man behind Alitura Naturals.Who would have ever thought that coming so close to facing death in 2011 would be the catalyst for creating an amazing and ever-growing skin care line?And the story gets even better when we learn that the mask Andy created to heal his mashed up face was the first ever product he brought to market.Andy has been using amazing ingredients such as colostrum and pearl powder before many even knew what they were. These are 2 ingredients I love keeping stocked in my home, so when I heard about Andy and his products years ago, it got my attention.In this interview, Andy gets into the story of how he got to Alitura.

What if the mathematics of nature itself could recalibrate your nervous system and unlock your body's deepest healing potential?Dr. Katie sits down with Banah Winn, creator of the Golden Ratio Frequency, to explore how sound based on the same pattern found in DNA, breath, and spiral galaxies can create profound shifts in your body and mind. Banah shares his journey from meditation and energy healing in Sedona's vortexes to discovering a frequency formula that's helped millions find coherence in a chaotic world.Chapters:04:02 - Healing inherited trauma in the body06:27 - Golden ratio as nature's baseline12:51 - Two frequencies that can disrupt cancer cells13:30 - Instant vagus nerve activation in meditation14:39 - Why fasting makes the frequencies hit harder16:30 - What fasters report when they use it daily20:00 - The 10 minutes a day rule29:11 - Why group singing amplifies healing33:22 - The hundred monkey effect and non-local consciousness35:00 - Stay coherent after the event, no crash back to baselineYou'll discover why most sound healing approaches fall short, how these specific frequencies work differently than traditional meditation music, and what happens when you combine them with practices like fasting or deep introspection.

In spiritual circles it's very trendy to speak of “raising frequency” or accessing “higher vibrations,” but what if higher vibration isn't mystical at all, but a precise description of physics at work?In this episode, Thom explores how order, coherence, and peace naturally emerge when we reduce excitation, rather than seek to raise it.Drawing on the laws of thermodynamics, Thom demystifies the subject and explains the fundamentals of sustainable change.Episode Highlights[00:45] Q – What Is “Higher Vibration”?[01:16] A – Excitation and Thermodynamics[03:46] Why You Can't Force Peace[06:29] Superfluid Helium Seeks Unboundedness[08:45] Superconductivity in Simple Terms[10:05] Meditation and Society[13:41] The Meissner EffectYou can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/8KUIB4PlifkUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/ Registration is now open for Thom's only rounding retreat for 2026, in Sedona from May 21-25.This is your one and only opportunity this year for deep rest, stress release and consciousness expansion through industrial-strength meditation, along with twice-daily knowledge sessions with Thom.You'll enjoy delicious retreat-friendly meals and the beauty and healing powers of the Red Rocks of Sedona.

We'd love to hear from you, send us a text about your favorite show!Everyone has a Beth in their life. The person who just seems to always be receiving universal reassurance. Angel numbers everywhere. Feathers, signs, little miracle synchronicities — check.And while you're genuinely happy for them, a question can start to form in the background. Why doesn't it look like that for me? Where's my parade of signs and synchronicities? Why does my connection feel different… and is there some kind of Universal Reassurance Plus package I forgot to sign up for?If you're someone who tends to hold things together, figure things out on your own, and keep moving forward even when things feel uncertain, you may carry a private hope that Spirit is closer than it sometimes feels — alongside a private fear that maybe you're not hearing or sensing as clearly as others seem to be.This episode is for that in-between space. It's a conversation about comparison, doubt, and what may actually be happening when guidance doesn't show up in obvious or dramatic ways.Listen if you're ready to stop measuring your spiritual connection against someone else's — and to remember that just because guidance doesn't look flashy doesn't mean it isn't real.***2026 in-person Reiki classes in Sedona are scheduled!

Episode #100 of the Tami Talks: Unscripted Healing Podcast is more than a milestone; it's a living example of what happens when you stop forcing, start listening, and allow divine timing to lead. This episode unfolds from a spontaneous, unplanned trip to Sedona, a place known for spiritual awakening, energetic recalibration, and deep inner work. What begins as a quiet grocery store moment (“bless you” after a sneeze) becomes a soul-level meeting that confirms why this podcast exists…and why this 100th episode could never have been planned. Tami is joined by her newest soul sister, Maureen Webb, a former Chicago police officer turned spiritual guide who blends Human Design, astrology, Gene Keys, and shadow work into grounded, practical tools for healing and self-understanding. Together, they share an honest, emotional, and deeply human conversation about: Worthiness and receiving support Body image and lifelong dieting patterns Grief, the mother wound, and nervous system safety Inner child healing and shadow work (without retraumatizing) Trusting intuition before ego steps in Why this moment—and this year—matters so much If you've been waiting for a sign to trust your intuition…this might be it.
In this episode of the Fit Father Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with FFP Coach Steve Roy for a deeply human conversation about resilience, fatherhood, and why fitness is about far more than aesthetics. Steve opens up about his personal journey—from a painful childhood and early struggles with confidence, to discovering fitness as a pathway to strength, purpose, and service.Together, they explore how movement becomes medicine during life's darkest seasons, why “showing up” matters more than motivation, and how physical practice can anchor us through grief, stress, and uncertainty. This episode is a powerful reminder that fitness isn't just something you do—it's something you lean on when life gets heavy.If you've ever struggled to stay consistent, questioned your “why,” or felt knocked down by life, this conversation will meet you where you are and point you toward what truly lasts.Coming up: Come back starting Feb. 9 for a 3-part series on Finding Strength in Routines. Morning routines. Evening Routines. Seasonal Routines. You'll learn some powerful tricks to maximize your fitness plans.

Here's a truth most entrepreneurs never want to face: It's not your strategy. It's not your market. It's what's buried inside you. In this raw and transformative episode of Richer Soul, we sit down with Smoke Wallin, entrepreneur, M&A advisor, and spiritual guide who made—and lost—$50-100 million multiple times. But this isn't a story about making money. It's about discovering why all the wealth in the world couldn't turn off the "loud fan" of anxiety constantly running in the back of his head. Until one day in Nepal, at Buddha's birthplace, everything changed. 5 Soul-Level Insights from Smoke Wallin: (This isn't about making more money. It's about freeing yourself from what's driving you.) Unhealed trauma doesn't just hurt—it sabotages. Smoke kept attracting business partners who would betray him. Why? Because betrayal was his unhealed childhood wound. His subconscious kept recreating the pattern until he faced it head-on. You can achieve massive success while suffering invisibly. Smoke became CFO of a billion-dollar company at 29, raised $110 million—all while living in constant anxiety he didn't even recognize. High achievers are masters at compartmentalizing pain. Forgiveness is freedom—for you, not them. Smoke's healing breakthrough came when he made a deal with his higher self: "If I can remember what happened, I'll forgive." That commitment unlocked everything. "Forgiveness is for the forgiver, not the forgiven." Spiritual awakening is 1% breakthrough, 99% daily integration. Plant medicine opened the door. But Smoke read 400+ books, practiced daily meditation, eliminated negative inputs, and consciously reprogrammed his subconscious. That's where real transformation lives. Money is neutral—your attachment is the prison. Once you're non-attached, you can fully experience wealth without being controlled by it. Smoke now channels resources to Dignity Moves (helping homeless families) and SACRED (supporting child abuse survivors)—because significance matters more than accumulation. Why This Conversation Matters: Most entrepreneurs chase the next milestone thinking that will finally deliver peace. The next exit. The next $10 million. The next validation. But Smoke's journey reveals a deeper truth: External success means nothing if you're fundamentally unfree internally. This episode is an invitation to stop running—and start healing. Money Learning: What if your wealth-building is driven by wounds, not wisdom? Smoke's pattern of building and losing fortunes wasn't about bad luck or bad partners. It was about unresolved childhood trauma manifesting in business relationships. For many driven entrepreneurs, the relentless pursuit of "more" is actually an attempt to fill a void, prove worth, or escape pain they've never faced. This episode invites you to ask: How much is enough? And what am I really running from? By healing the wounds beneath your drive, you don't lose your ambition—you gain clarity, peace, and the ability to build wealth that actually serves your life instead of consuming it. Key Takeaway: Smoke Wallin made—and lost—$50-100 million multiple times because unhealed childhood trauma kept sabotaging his business relationships. Despite becoming CFO of a billion-dollar company at 29, he lived in constant anxiety until a spiritual awakening in Nepal and plant medicine ceremonies unlocked decades of buried memories. His breakthrough insight: "Forgiveness is for the forgiver, not the forgiven"—once he forgave, the anxiety vanished and he quit drinking without trying. Now living in "peace and joy at all times," Smoke helps entrepreneurs answer the question most can't: "How much is enough?"—proving that real wealth isn't in your bank account, it's in your soul. Guest Bio: Smoke Wallin is an entrepreneur, M&A advisor, and spiritual guide based in Sedona, Arizona. He became CFO of a billion-dollar business at age 29, raised $110 million in the bond market, and has built and exited multiple companies across various industries. After a profound spiritual awakening triggered by a Kundalini experience at Buddha's birthplace in Nepal, Smoke has dedicated himself to helping entrepreneurs navigate both the business and existential dimensions of major exits. He co-founded Dignity Moves, a homeless initiative building villages across California, and serves on the board of SACRED, supporting families affected by child sexual abuse.

Sutton Brown continues hosting the ladies in Sedona with a 1am dinner and then the following day, a dinner at the airport. Guys, we kind of love Amanda. Mostly for how much she annoys the group, how unself-aware she is and watching the group figure out how to manage with her. In The Valley, GG shows us she hasn't changed but maybe she and Dennis can make amends. Are the other couples going to make it? We hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Then, it's time to catch up on Southern Charm, and Venita's prediction about Salley and Craig's dynamic comes true in about five seconds. But how will Salley's friend-zoning affect Craig's crush on Charley?
