Podcasts about Separate

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly continues the series “When Drinking Less Feels Hard” by looking at one of the most common places drinking less can feel difficult: social situations where alcohol feels like part of the fun and everyone else is drinking.This episode explores two powerful Alcohol Core Beliefs: alcohol makes things more fun and alcohol creates connection. These beliefs often show up around dinners out, parties, weekends, vacations, celebrations, and those moments when you had a plan—until you were surrounded by other people drinking.Molly explains why the challenge is not simply being in a bar, at a restaurant, at a party, or on vacation. The deeper issue is that your brain may have learned to associate alcohol with belonging, ease, confidence, playfulness, and connection. When that belief is running in the background, choosing to drink less can feel like choosing a lesser version of the experience.But alcohol is not the source of your humor, warmth, courage, or ability to connect. Those parts of you already exist.In this science-forward episode, Molly breaks down how alcohol expectancies, social cues, dopamine, reward prediction, and alcohol myopia can make drinking feel automatic in social settings. She also shares how to challenge the thoughts that make alcohol feel necessary and how to build new evidence that fun, connection, and belonging are still fully available when you drink less.You'll learn how to use the 4S process—See, Soothe, Separate, and Shift—to question the belief that alcohol makes everything better. Instead of relying on willpower in the moment, Molly encourages you to create a doable drink plan ahead of time, protect your awareness before alcohol narrows it, and practice proving to your brain that you can enjoy social situations without giving alcohol all the credit.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why social situations can make drinking less feel harder than drinking less at homeHow the beliefs “alcohol makes things more fun” and “alcohol creates connection” fuel desireWhy “everyone is drinking” can feel so powerful, even when you genuinely want to drink lessHow alcohol expectancies shape what you believe a drink will do for youWhy familiar cues like restaurants, vacations, Friday afternoons, and celebrations can trigger urgesWhat alcohol myopia is and why “I'll decide later” is often not a strong enough planHow to separate the facts of a social situation from the story your brain is tellingHow to use the 4S process to challenge old beliefs and practice new onesWhy alcohol may be present during fun and connection without being the cause of either oneKey Takeaway:Alcohol may be present during fun, connection, celebration, and belonging—but that does not mean alcohol created those things.When you stop giving alcohol full credit for the experience, you can begin reclaiming your own confidence, humor, warmth, playfulness, and ability to connect. Drinking less is not about having less fun. It is about learning that fun was never dependent on alcohol in the first place.Mentioned in This Episode:Mostly Dry July: The Daily begins July 1st.Join Molly for daily support, coaching, and practical tools to help you create a peaceful relationship with alcohol throughout the month of July.Learn more at: https://mollywatts.com/mostlydryjuly/Resources:Join the Alcohol Minimalist Facebook group for support, conversation, and real-life strategies for changing your drinking habits.Learn more about Molly's programs and resources at mollywatts.com.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Menopause has always been linked to sleep disruption, but the story has changed dramatically since we last covered it in episode 3. Hot flashes and night sweats still matter, but newer research is pushing us to think more broadly about brain temperature regulation, insomnia, mood, sleep apnea, cardiometabolic risk, and a new generation of nonhormonal medications that directly target vasomotor biology. In this episode we will: Revisit why menopause so often produces sleep-maintenance insomnia  Explore the KNDy neuron/neurokinin pathway and why drugs like fezolinetant and elinzanetant matter  Separate hot-flash awakenings from true insomnia disorder  Discuss CBT-I, hormone therapy, and nonhormonal treatment options  Explain why sleep apnea and cardiometabolic risk should not be overlooked in midlife womenTo find out more about this week's podcast sponsor Moonbird, please use the following link: https://www.moonbird.lifeOriginal intro music Vigilanteology by Abhinav Singh (copyright 2026) Original outro music Vigilanteology (reprise) by Abhinav Singh (copyright 2026)Produced by: Maeve WinterMusic by: Dr. Abhinav Singh (@sleep_vigilante), all rights reservedMoreTwitter: @drchriswinterIG: @drchriwinterThreads: @drchriswinterBluesky: @drchriswinterThe Sleep Solution and The Rested ChildThanks for listening and sleep well!

Justin Bieber Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Justin Bieber has spent the past few days back in the center of the pop culture conversation, with the most meaningful development being renewed attention around his music, his marriage, and a possible expansion into business. According to AOL and Design Scene, he shared behind the scenes images from his 2026 Coachella set and then teased what appears to be a new audio venture called SKYLRK Audio, a move that could matter long term if it turns into a real brand launch rather than just a social media tease. A surprise appearance by Bieber and Hailey at The Kid LAROI's show in Los Angeles also drew heavy attention, with TMZ reporting that fans spotted them in the VIP area and circulated clips quickly. That same evening, the pair looked relaxed and publicly affectionate, which matters because the Biebers have lately been keeping a lower profile than in past eras. There are also fresh social media whispers that Bieber briefly appeared in a Twitch session between June 11 and June 13, according to a Facebook post that presented the moment as reported but not independently confirmed. If true, it would fit his recent pattern of highly informal, unexpected online appearances that instantly trigger fan frenzy. Another circulating social post from Instagram shows Hailey arriving at Madison Square Garden for a Knicks and Spurs game two days ago, adding to the couple's run of high visibility outings. Separate social clips and posts claim Bieber was seen in Beverly Hills greeting fans, but those reports are too thinly sourced to treat as verified. The biggest unconfirmed buzz is the chatter around a World Cup appearance and a few speculative entertainment posts that mention Bieber in connection with music and gaming events, but none of those claims are backed by major reliable outlets. The only firmly grounded thread here is that Bieber remains unusually active in public through concert appearances, shared family moments, and business teases, all of which suggest he is carefully maintaining relevance across music, fashion, and lifestyle branding. For listeners of Justin Bieber Biography Flash, the story right now is less about a single headline and more about a quiet but important repositioning: Bieber still commands attention every time he appears, and these recent moments hint at both a personal stability phase and a possible new commercial chapter.

As a therapist in private practice, there can be a moment when you realize that you are the one responsible for caring for your future financial needs. No employer is automatically setting aside money for your retirement, your maternity leave, your next chapter, or the bigger life goals you're holding. In this solo episode, I walk through how to think about future-focused financial planning in a way that feels practical, compassionate, and doable. Whether you're saving for retirement, preparing for parental leave, building a cushion for a future goal, or simply wanting to feel more secure, this conversation is about creating simple systems inside your business that support both the life you're living now and the life you're building over time. Ready to feel more calm and confident about your money? Do you feel confused, ashamed, or uncertain about your finances? Are you craving support to help shift your money mindset and transform your relationship with money? Are you ready to develop the skills and confidence you need to finally take control of your business finances and build a practice that actually takes care of you? If so, I'd love for you to join me for one of my free online workshops, designed specifically for private practice owners who feel stuck—whether it's mindset blocks, avoidance, or the technical side of managing money. In just one hour together, you'll learn practical tools, strategies, and next steps to move forward in your business (and your life) with clarity, intention, and ease. Click here to explore upcoming workshops and save your spot or register to get the replay. Creating Financial Support for the Version of You Still to Come One of the most difficult parts of private practice finances is that most of us were never taught how to think this way. Many therapists carry financial anxiety, money avoidance, or complicated money stories into business ownership and then feel pressure to somehow know exactly what to do. A helpful place to begin is by asking yourself, “What will my future self need from me?” From there, you can start building small, steady habits that help you care for both your present-day needs and your longer-term financial goals. Separate business bank accounts can be a simple and supportive tool for creating more clarity. And using an adapted Profit First system — including a dedicated account for big goals — can make saving for retirement, future leave, or other long-term plans feel more tangible and less overwhelming. You don't have to do it perfectly or all at once. Start small, keep it sustainable, and let consistency carry some of the weight. Small Systems Can Build Financial Confidence The practical side of financial planning becomes much easier when there's a clear structure supporting it.

It all started when she saw her extremely skilled colleagues struggle with the money side of business. Some had even left private practice, or were avoiding starting one, because managing finances was just too stressful. So Linzy set out to support helpers and healers with developing peace of mind about their money. Since so many were never taught money skills, she focuses on the “how” of making the business side of private practice doable — and even super satisfying.

Most independent practice owners know the practice and their personal life are supposed to be separate. Separate entities, separate accounts, separate tax returns. Almost none of them have built the structural separation that makes that true when things get hard. EP185 covers the three systems that explain why one bad quarter in the practice becomes a personal financial event, and the firewall that stops it. System 1 — The Entanglement: No formal salary. No distribution schedule. Whatever is left in the business account goes home with the owner. In a good month: $40,000. Mortgage, 529, investment contribution. In a bad month: $14,000, covered with personal savings. The savings account does not come back as fast as the practice does. System 2 — The Bad Quarter Multiplier: The cascade that runs from a billing disruption straight through to the owner's personal financial decisions. Collections drop. Distribution skipped. Mortgage still goes out. Investment contribution paused. Operational decisions made under financial stress — delay the hire, pull back on marketing, hold off on the software upgrade that would have fixed the billing gap that caused the problem. That practice is always one bad quarter away from making decisions a wealthier version of itself would never make. The Cascade in Numbers: Payer delays 45+ days → Operating account drops → Owner stops paying themselves first Denial rate spikes 5% to 14% → $28K/month delayed or lost → Personal savings tapped for household bills Key provider unexpected leave → Volume drops 30% → No distribution for 60 days Contract renegotiation stalls → 90 days cash flow uncertainty → Investment contributions paused indefinitely System 3 — The Firewall: A market-rate owner salary that does not move with revenue. A distribution schedule tied to net profit after a defined reserve threshold. Personal savings that build independent of what the practice has on hand. In a bad quarter: the salary still goes out, the distribution pauses, and the operational decisions come from strategy instead of personal financial pressure. Referenced: Profit First by Mike Michalowicz — the formula flip that makes the firewall mechanical. Three actions this week: Calculate your real owner salary — what you would pay someone else to do your job Define your operating reserve threshold — one month of payroll minimum, two months standard Schedule a financial separation review with your accountant — ask what a 30% revenue drop does to your personal finances Episode breakdown: 00:00 The $380K practice that one quarter turns 03:00 The big idea: revenue is not wealth 06:00 System 1: The Entanglement 10:30 Working vs. broken — the same practice, two outcomes 13:30 System 2: The Bad Quarter Multiplier 17:00 The cascade and what it actually costs 20:00 System 3: The Firewall 24:30 Profit First applied to a medical practice 27:00 Three actions this week 31:00 Free resource + EP185 tease Resources Mentioned Payment Posting Audit Checklist (free): eligibility.natrevmd.com/payment-posting-checklist Practice Revenue Leak Scorecard (free): eligibility.natrevmd.com/nrm-revenue-scorecard-v3 Book a free 30-minute audit call: calendly.com/heather-natrevmd RECOVER Diagnostic Quiz: natrevmd.com/quiz Book referenced: Profit First by Mike Michalowicz

What if the sense of separation you feel is not the truth of who you are? Most people spend their lives searching for happiness, love, and a feeling of belonging. Yet beneath all of those desires is a deeper longing: the desire to remember our connection to something greater than ourselves. In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, explore the journey back to oneness and discover why the peace you seek has never been outside of you. Drawing from Yoga philosophy, this teaching reveals how the belief in separation creates fear, loneliness, and struggle—and how awakening to your true nature brings freedom. You are not separate. The infinite within you is the same presence that lives within every person, every creature, and all of creation. As this understanding deepens, spiritual awakening becomes more than an idea—it becomes a living experience. This talk explores: • Why the heart longs for wholeness • The illusion of separation • The deeper meaning of love, lover, and beloved • How embracing compassion and kindness transforms your life • The connection between consciousness, unity, and inner peace Through timeless spiritual wisdom, you are invited to see yourself—and the world—in a new way: not as isolated individuals, but as expressions of one infinite reality.

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly kicks off the series When Drinking Less Feels Hard, inspired by real responses from the Alcohol Minimalist community about the hardest parts of changing drinking habits.Today's episode focuses on one of the five Alcohol Core Beliefs: Alcohol Helps Me Relieve Stress.Alcohol can feel like relief in the moment because it creates a short-term shift in the brain and body. But that does not mean it is actually reducing stress. Molly explains how alcohol can disrupt sleep, increase next-day anxiety, and keep the brain stuck in the loop of believing alcohol is necessary for relaxation. This episode helps you look at stress drinking with curiosity instead of shame, and offers a practical way to challenge the belief that alcohol is the best or only way to unwind.In This Episode Why alcohol feels calming at first  The difference between a state change and real stress relief  How alcohol can affect sleep, anxiety, and next-day resilience  Why the brain learns to associate alcohol with relief  How to use See, Soothe, Separate, and Shift to challenge the urge to drink Key TakeawayWanting relief is human. But alcohol often borrows calm from tomorrow instead of creating real relief today.Listener PracticeBefore drinking in response to stress, pause and complete this sentence:“I need a drink because…”Then use the Alcohol Core Beliefs process:See: I'm having the thought that alcohol will relieve this stress. Soothe: Of course my brain is offering this; I've practiced this pattern. Separate: The fact is I'm stressed. The story is that alcohol is required. Shift: I can create real relief before I decide what to drink.Choose one action that actually addresses the need underneath the urge.Resources Mentioned:Alcohol Core Beliefs MindmapSee, Soothe, Separate, ShiftWhen Drinking Less Feels Hard seriesLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Quick SummaryIn this candid solo episode, Kelsey Reidel breaks down four mindset shifts she's observed over nearly a decade in business — distinctions that separate entrepreneurs who stay stuck from those who keep growing. Inspired by a morning hike and a Marco Polo conversation with two long-time entrepreneur friends, Kelsey shares real scenarios, personal stories, and honest reflections on what it actually takes to build a sustainable business.In This EpisodeWhy "junior" vs. "experienced" has nothing to do with how long you've been in businessThe real purpose of your first event, launch, or marketing experiment (hint: it's not profit)Why experienced entrepreneurs still slide into DMs — and why you should tooHow to turn every "no" into a source of intelligence rather than a source of shameThe emotional regulation strategies that keep seasoned entrepreneurs from spiraling when things go sidewaysKey TakeawaysYour first event is a research project, not a revenue event. Kelsey grew her events from 10 women in a free coffee shop to 80 women at a sold-out, fully sponsored venue — one small step at a time. Start with three people if you have to.The unscalable work is where the business actually gets built. No matter how big your email list, DMs, coffee chats, and personal follow-ups still move the needle. The most successful entrepreneurs never stop doing this work."No" means "not yet" — treat it like data. Every objection tells you something your messaging isn't addressing. Get curious instead of shutting down.One hard week isn't a business crisis. The experienced entrepreneur has systems to process difficult events without letting them derail the entire plan.You are your business's biggest cheerleader. The moment you start to believe it's not working, your revenue reflects it. Protect your confidence fiercely.Memorable Quotes"Hosting your first event is never about profiting on day one. It's about brand-building, visibility, relationship-building, and market research — all rolled into one.""The experienced entrepreneur never outgrows the unscalable stuff. They just get more intentional about it.""When people say no, it usually means 'not yet,' or 'I don't have the information I need.' Get curious — don't shut down."Resources MentionedKelsey's Website: KelseyReidl.comKelsey's Instagram: @KelseyReidlChicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. & John Archambault — Kelsey's go-to reminder that it's A to B, not A to ZMarco Polo app — Kelsey's favourite tool for voice-note conversations with business friendsRain or Shine event in Prince Edward County — July 17th (details on Kelsey's Instagram)About the HostKelsey Reidl is an entrepreneur, fractional CMO, and host of Rain or Shine (formerly Visionary Life).

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly revisits the past episode on why habits can feel unbreakable—and why the real issue is often not the behavior itself, but the story we keep repeating about it.Your brain is not broken. It is designed to recognize patterns, conserve energy, and repeat what feels familiar. But when familiar patterns are fueled by negative self-talk, change can feel harder than it needs to be.Molly explains how the negativity bias keeps us focused on what went wrong and shares a simple framework to help interrupt old thought patterns: See, Soothe, Separate, and Shift.What You'll Learn Why your brain defaults to familiar habits.  How negative self-talk keeps old patterns alive.  Why one mistake can feel bigger than five wins.  How to separate facts from stories.  How to practice a next-best thought that supports change. Key TakeawayYour habit is not unbreakable. It is learned.And if your brain can learn one pattern, it can learn another. Changing your relationship with alcohol starts with changing the story you tell yourself about what is possible.Mentioned in This EpisodeThink Thursday Negativity bias  Negative self-talk  Habit change Alcohol Minimalist Facebook GroupMaking Peace with AlcoholUntil next time, choose peace. ★ Support this podcast ★

By Phoebe Nieves & Simon Cocking. We look at The 8 Laws of Employee Experience, see more about this book here. This book comes at an interesting time, with a push back from some employers, HR departments and companies who feel that meeting the demands of employees have become too high. Initially when reading this book, we were wondering if there was an anti-woke agenda even being laid down here. Naturally in a period of flux and discourse between different generational needs, perspectives, and goals, it is a tricky path to navigate. Do new entrants have unrealistic expectations from what work should be offering them. At the same time, for employers, it can feel like the amount of time necessary to be expended, to get people up to speed, and delivering a suitable level of work done in return for renumeration offered, is seriously challenging. Jacob Morgan does a good job of finding a wide range of opinions and perspectives to help the reader navigate this challenging subject. The story of his own grandfather, newly arrived in the US, Georgian, barely speaking English, but clearly determined to work hard and return the faith in the first person who would hire him, is a smart, logical, and relevant anecdote. Immigrants are often some of the best hires, they want to work, have moved heaven and earth to even be in their new country, therefore they could be some of your best hires. It is unfortunate we live in a time where it is an easy, lazy, cheap trick to demonize those that look or sound different to us, when they may be a fantastic future asset to your company. Morgan aims to take through the nuances of how to find the best people people for your business, and to then continue to ensure there is value for all parties. Companies with the best retention rates are always to be looked at, and to also have an open door for returning ex-employees too, as they can then bring even more value. Therefore holistic attitudes and approaches can often bring more, and better value for the company and those who work for you, both now, in the past, and in the future. This was a thought provoking read, and one that will reward return visits too. More about the book here Organizations around the world have lost their way. It's time to get back to basics and focus on what really drives people and performance. In chasing talent, organizations have turned employee experience into an entitlement culture – lavishing perks without accountability, lowering standards in the name of empathy, and confusing short-term fixes with long-term solutions. The result? Performance suffers, leaders are scared to lead, and culture drifts. The 8 Laws of Employee Experience is a reset, a new framework to build a future-ready organization in an AI driven world. Best-selling author and professionally trained futurist Jacob Morgan shows that employee experience must return to its core: a value exchange where employees contribute, grow, and lead, and where organizations enable them to thrive. Based on over 100 CHRO interviews at companies like Verizon, Delta, Hilton, IBM,and LVMH, Morgan lays out eight unshakeable laws that form the new operating system for the future of work. This book isn't just about where we are today – it's about where employee experience is going over the next decade, and how leaders can design the future instead of being dragged into it. After reading this book you'll learn how to: Separate signal from noise in an era of trend-chasing with the STEEPLE methodology Discover the eight laws required to build a future-ready organization and how to implement them Use futurist frameworks like the Cone of Possibilities to map out multiple employee experience scenarios Conduct a future-ready audit to see where your company stands today and where it must go next Explore the five potential futures of employee experience and how to steer your organization towards the right one Challenge the myth that employee experience is about making people happy Combining...

Tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger, sword. St. Paul lists them all in this section of his letter because he has faced most of them personally and he knows the Christians to whom he writes are facing the same and losing hope. He tells them plainly: none of it can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Christians have been holding on to these verses through every kind of suffering for two thousand years because the promise is that Christ does not let go, even when everything else does.  The Rev. Roger Mullet, pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Buffalo, WY, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Romans 8:31-39. To learn more about Prince of Peace, visit princeofpeacebuffalo.org. Why does doing the right thing sometimes feel impossible? Why do feelings of guilt follow us even when we've been forgiven? These aren't new questions. St. Paul wrote his letter to the Romans for a church he had never visited, and yet he addressed the struggles every Christian knows firsthand: the weight of the law, the persistence of sin, the sufficiency of what God has done in Christ. Romans covers enormous ground. Paul moves from the universal problem of sin through justification by faith, the role of baptism, the war between flesh and spirit, God's faithfulness to Israel, and the shape of life together in the body of Christ. There's a reason the Reformation was born in this letter. Join us on Thy Strong Word as we open up Romans, weekdays at 11am or on-demand anytime, at KFUO.org.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

In this episode, Jake Gilbreath and Brian Walters unpack what legally qualifies as separate property, how to prove it in court, and what happens when separate and community property get mixed together over the years. They wrap up the episode by debunking some of the most common misconceptions they hear from clients about separate property, including why having something "in your name" doesn't automatically make it yours. If you're going through a divorce in Texas or just want to protect what's yours, our legal team can help.

(3) Finally, the pair shifts to Persian diplomacy and the "dispensation for deception." Germanicus explains how Iranuses strategic deceit to survive existential threats, specifically aiming to separate United States interests from Israel. They speculate that modern leaders may settle conflicts through informal "backdoor handshakes" or social media posts rather than traditional documents. Drawing on Byzantine history, they suggest appeasement and payoffs can be more effective than direct combat. The dialogue ends with the Spartan legend of a boy who allowed a hidden fox to disembowel him to avoid public shame.1716

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about one of the heaviest and least discussed burdens in first responder work: the decisions that cannot be undone, the calls that replay on a loop, and the weight of outcomes that live permanently in the mind (Amazon Affiliate) of the person who was there. Every first responder carries them. The split-second choice that went wrong. The moment where a different decision might have changed everything. The call that ended in a way no one wanted. This episode does not offer easy answers — because there are none. But it does offer something most first responders never get: an honest, direct conversation about what it means to carry something you cannot put down and cannot go back and change.

My driver snapped on hole one, and it became one of the most powerful lessons I've had in a long time about what it really means to be committed to success. Too many people pack up and head back to the clubhouse the moment their go-to method stops working, and I refuse to be that person. In this episode, I break down why your attachment to a specific path is the very thing limiting your potential, and how shifting your focus to the result changes everything. Key Takeaways The thing you rely on most will eventually fail you — in golf, business, and life. Being committed to a path instead of a result puts a hard ceiling on your potential. There is always another way to get to the top — someone else just might be taking a different trail. Developing multiple skills, clients, and revenue streams protects you when your primary method breaks down. The score can still be the same — you just may have to play a different game to get there. Action Steps Identify the one thing you are most dependent on right now — a client, a skill, a strategy — and start building a backup immediately. Write down your core result, not your method. Separate what you want to achieve from how you currently plan to achieve it. The next time a plan falls apart, pause before quitting and ask yourself: what is another path to the same result? Notable Quote If you're committed to the path saying, I wanna be successful as long as and only as long as it goes this way, then there's gonna be a limit on your potential.

In this week's Interview Classic podcasts, we jump back to ten years ago this week (5-26-2016) when PWTorch editor Wade Keller interviewed Jim Ross with a predominant focus on WWE's announcement that Smackdown goes live on Tuesdays in July and would include a distinct roster from Raw. Ross dissected the possible benefits and pitfalls of such a major change in WWE's structure, looks back at the prior brand split and what is different today, his preference for how the separate rosters would be structured and how champions should be ideally featured. Also, live calls and emails delved into more aspects of the brand split and other topics.

Visit https://focusnowtraining.com/a2a-course to sign up NOW!!Marcus Aurelius said it nearly two thousand years ago: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own. On this episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, hosts Jon Macaskill and Will Schneider sit down with Andy Riise... army officer, mental performance coach for NFL athletes including the Chicago Bears, and host of the Skull Sessions podcast... to break down the approval trap and why it's quietly running most men's lives.Will lays the biological foundation. Fear of negative evaluation, FNE, is one of the most studied patterns in clinical psychology. Your brain processes social rejection through the same neural circuits it uses for physical pain. Getting dismissed in a meeting registers the same way getting punched does. That's evolutionary wiring, not weakness.The guys get into the spotlight effect (Cornell research showing people overestimate how much others notice them by roughly double), Andy's story of deliberately sitting with a different group at the West Point prep school mess hall, and Alyssa Liu's gold medal comeback after quitting figure skating to rediscover why she loved it in the first place.Jon, Will, and Andy walk through how FNE shows up in daily life: the yes-man pattern at work that stalls careers, the reassurance-seeking in relationships that erodes attraction, the Disney dad trap of buying approval instead of earning respect, and the deepest layer... the ghost. Most men are performing for one or two specific people from their past, and they've been doing it for decades.Andy teaches the BASS framework he uses with NFL athletes for real-time emotional regulation. Will adds a values audit and a spotlight effect experiment. And Jon talks about how purpose is the single biggest antidote to approval-seeking, which ties directly into the A2A (Awareness to Action) course launching through Focus Now Training.What you'll hear in this episode:Why social rejection activates the same brain circuits as physical painThe spotlight effect: half as many people are watching you as you thinkAndy's West Point mess hall story and why crossing social lines is the real macho moveAlyssa Liu's gold medal run and the next-play mindsetHow FNE shows up at work, in relationships, with kids, and in communityThe ghost concept: who you're still performing for decades laterBASS framework: Breathe, Accept, Separate, ShiftMotivational interviewing basics: OARS (Open questions, Affirmations, Reflective listening, Summarizing)Purpose as the antidote to approval-seekingAndy's podcast: Skull Sessions (available everywhere) Andy's TEDx talk: Fight to Win the War from WithinFull episode: https://pod.fo/e/3abd25Text MTM to 33777 for updates on new episodes, the A2A course, and resources from Focus Now Training.Jon's book, DIAL in Your Leadership: 4 Non-negotiables for Leading with Clarity, Trust, and Purpose, is available now on Amazon. https://a.co/d/0hYwI2SzFollow Men Talking Mindfulness, Jon Macaskill, and Will Schneider for more.Hosted on Ausha.

Jon Hartley proposes a new agreement modeled after the 1951 Accord that would separate the missions of the Federal Reserve and the Treasury. Under this plan, the Fed would focus strictly on short-term rates and price stability rather than long-term debt management. (4)1801 THOMAS ROWLANDSON

Join the  Uplift Community App  TODAY!    There is a specific kind of loss that does more than hurt. It rearranges you. I know because I lived it. A business I believed in fell apart. A few friendships did not survive the fallout. A decision I made in good faith went sideways in a way I never saw coming. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, I stopped trusting the voice inside me that said yes in the first place. This episode isn't about the mistake. It's about what follows: confidence fading, second-guessing taking over, hovering over the brake, even with a clear path. I'll take you back to when it happened to me. After a meeting with an investor in New York City in 2012, I sat in a cafe with four close friends and business partners. Without anyone saying a word, we all knew it was over. The startup was finished. Two friendships didn't survive. For almost a year after, I was moving, but not freely. Every decision felt like a test I was set to fail. If you've been there, this episode may finally voice what you've felt in silence.   What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why being wrong about a decision and being wrong about yourself as a decision maker are two completely different things (and how your brain collapses them together in about four seconds) What your amygdala (Alli calls her "Becky") is actually doing after a painful loss, and why what feels like discernment is often just fear doing excellent costume work The two questions to ask about any decision you're still carrying at 2 a.m. How to turn the replay loop into actual data instead of an open wound Why self-trust rebuilds through small, consistent low-stakes reps, not a breakthrough moment   Timestamps: (00:21) - Introduction: How to trust yourself again when you've been wrong (01:36) - The friendship losses that made it personal (02:19) - What happens when being wrong stops being an event and starts feeling like a verdict (02:41) - The four-second leap: "that didn't work" to "I can't trust my own judgment" (03:03) - How Alli pulled back, got quiet, started hovering over the brake (03:42) - Fear as an excellent designer: it shows up looking exactly like wisdom (03:42) - What self-distrust actually looks like (running decisions by five people, scrolling for someone else's experience, "waiting on God" when you heard from him two weeks ago) (04:46) - Starting to ask a different question about what she'd lost (05:16) - Grieving the losses as real, then separating them from a verdict about her instincts (07:28) - The GPS analogy: deleting the app because it routed you through a construction zone once (08:00) - Romans 8:28: not a promise that decisions will be perfect, but a promise that He works with all of them (08:49) - What the rebuild is really about (hint: not becoming better, giving yourself permission to use the judgment you already have) (09:28) - Step 1: Separate the data from the story. Two questions to ask about the decision you're still carrying. (10:37) - The identity shift that changes everything: "I'm becoming a woman who evaluates decisions instead of using them as evidence against herself" (11:22) - Step 2: Turn regret into data. One question that stops the replay loop. (11:57) - What to do with the answer (and what to do if the answer is nothing new) (12:38) - Step 3: Stack small trust reps. Physical therapy for your confidence. (13:28) - Stacking evidence until your brain starts treating decision-making as something you can handle (14:14) - Being wrong does not disqualify you.

Every collector talks about value.But what happens when the card means more to you than the market says it should?In this flagship episode, Brett explores one of the hardest truths in collecting:Can collectors ever fully separate emotional attachment from financial decision making?This conversation digs into the tension between memory and money.

One minute we're talking hibachi onion volcanoes and yum yum sauce rage… the next minute Riz is emotionally devastated because neighborhood kids apparently think he's the cranky old guy from every sitcom ever made. Welcome back to another completely normal episode of The Rizzuto Show — your favorite daily comedy show where chaos is not only expected, it's basically HR policy at this point.This episode starts with a beautiful weekend recap that somehow spirals into a full breakdown of suburban life. Lern and Tim hit hibachi for the annual “watch a stranger launch chicken at your face” tradition, Riz discovers his Blackstone betrayed him with a gas leak, and somehow the entire neighborhood has decided he's the villain from an HOA-themed horror movie. Meanwhile, Rafe absolutely refuses to let Riz recover emotionally after learning local middle schoolers refer to his house like it's the final boss level in a video game.Then things get even weirder when the show dives into the National Spelling Bee, where everyone quickly realizes they cannot spell basic words despite being fully grown adults with jobs and mortgages. “Diarrhea” nearly destroys the studio. “Separate” becomes a psychological warfare exercise. Lern fights bravely through America's most misspelled words while the rest of the gang contributes absolutely nothing helpful whatsoever.And because this is a daily comedy show, things naturally escalate into stories about teenagers shaving their heads for gas money, broccoli-haired dudes entering their buzzcut era, and parents realizing summer break may already be a mistake. Riz's son takes $50 to shave his head and immediately regrets everything, which honestly feels like the perfect metaphor for being young in 2026.Plus:The Three Song Challenge returns and listeners somehow struggle with bands literally everyone knowsA spelling bee breakdown nobody asked forTed Nugent tour updates because apparently that's still a thingReba McEntire appreciation hourDavid Lee Roth getting emotional talking about Van HalenMidwest brunch complaints escalate over iced coffee availabilityNeato toy hysteria sends grown adults into full Black Friday modeRafe delivers possibly the greatest Adirondack chair roast in radio historyRiz contemplates rebuilding his reputation with neighborhood children using bounce houses and hot dogsBasically, if you've ever wanted a comedy podcast that feels like your funniest friends yelling across a backyard barbecue while someone accidentally starts a grease fire nearby… congratulations.

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk Read my NEW BOOK -- The Price of Becoming -  www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming Eric Ries is the author of The Lean Startup, one of the most influential business books of the past 25 years, and the founder of the Long-Term Stock Exchange, the first new U.S. exchange to both list and trade multiple stocks since NASDAQ launched 50 years ago. His new book is Incorruptible. Key Learnings The more successful a company becomes, the more valuable it is as a target. Companies are worth stealing and taking over. Most founders are naive about this and don't understand what's coming for them. They've been following the so-called best practices about how companies should be built, structured, and governed. Most of those best practices are value-destroying. Sol Price was a lawyer before he became an entrepreneur. He believed a lawyer had a fiduciary duty to put the client's interests before his own. So when he became a retailer, he asked: "Who's my client?" The customer. He treated the customer as the person he would rather die than betray. When competitors sold a product for less, he'd put up signs in his own store: "Don't buy this from me. You can get it cheaper somewhere else." He capped his margins at 14 percent. He paid above-market wages. It is so much easier to destroy than to create. One day, Sol came into work and couldn't get into his office because the locks had been changed. Investors had pushed him out and forced Fedmart to practice retail best practices. Within seven years, they bankrupted the company. We've built an economy that rewards people for cost-cutting without holding them accountable for the consequences to trustworthiness, brand, or culture. The origin story of Costco: Sol took two weeks off, then leased the office upstairs from Fedmart and started Price Club. One of the young guys who left with him, Jim Sinegal, had worked his way up from stock boy. Jim eventually started his own company using the Sol ethos. A few years later, their companies merged to form what we now call Costco. Wall Street routinely calls Costco the exception to every rule. Wall Street analysts say things like: "At Costco, they take money that rightfully belongs to shareholders and instead invest it in the customer experience." As if that's a criticism. Costco endures because it's protected by a governance fortress. A series of worst practices that resist outside pressure structurally. The $1.50 hot dog has been the same price since 1986. A McDonald's Big Mac was $1.60 in 1986. Today that same Big Mac in California is over $7. Costco sells more hot dogs than every Major League Baseball stadium in America combined. If they raised the combo to $7, it would be a billion dollars of extra net income. They could do it. They choose not to. "If you raise the price of the effing hot dog, I will kill you. So figure it out." Jim Sinegal said it to his COO in 2008 when costs were rising. Figure it out. Costco vertically integrated the hot dog supply chain. They own hot dog production plants in multiple cities. They worked deals with soda vendors. They did all that extra work for the privilege of not making more money on the hot dog. Harder is easier. "When you take the hard road, when you make a principled commitment, you get these almost unbelievable values. Because you're generating the most underrated and most valuable asset in all of business: trustworthiness." "Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life." Jerzy Gregorek, Olympic weightlifter. "Everybody wanna be a bodybuilder. Nobody wanna lift these heavy ass weights." Ronnie Coleman, eight-time Mr. Olympia. Everyone wants the outcome. Nobody wants to do the actual thing. Culture and mission can be cultivated, not commanded. Most leaders get this wrong. They say "I'm in charge of my team." But can you command your team to have integrity? Can you command it to have a particular culture? You have to make consistent, responsible choices, just like cultivating health in your body. Get reps. Eric gave practice talks at a Hobee's restaurant at 7 AM to six people just to get the reps. Caring and trying to do a good job is so unbelievably rare. That alone is a competitive advantage. Feedback tells you something about the person giving it, not about yourself. If someone reads Eric's manuscript and says, "This book sucks," he hasn't learned anything about the book. He's learned this person doesn't like this kind of book. When he stopped arguing with negative customer reviews and started studying who they came from, he noticed patterns. People 16 and younger loved the product. People 16 and older hated it. He learned who his product was for. Separate qualitative from quantitative feedback. Qualitative is for hypothesis generation. Quantitative is for hypothesis validation. When test readers told him a chapter wasn't working, that was qualitative. When the platform data showed nobody was getting past that chapter, that was quantitative. You need both to know what to fix. It is always too early until it's too late. Eric tells the story of a multibillion-dollar founder he warned before his IPO. The founder talked to his bankers, lawyers, and CFO. They told him Eric was a downer. The founder went public anyway with conventional governance. Five months later, his stock dropped 90 percent, and he was ousted. The best time to plant a tree is 40 years ago. The second-best time is today. Eric's checklist for building an incorruptible company: Encode your mission into the corporate charter. Most founders have never read their charter. If your mission statement says one thing but your legal charter says another, you're lying. The easiest fix: file a public benefit corp filing (PBC). Two pages. 44 states. Your lawyer can do it tomorrow. Identify your fiduciary commitments. Who would you rather die than betray? Is it your customers? Your employees? Product quality? You decide. If your answer is nobody, you're a sociopath. The whole book is for the people who actually want to accomplish something. Align your employees to that mission. Make sure everybody on the team is committed to the same fiduciary priority. Create a director's oath. Like the Hippocratic Oath for doctors, but for your board. They must pledge to commit to the company's mission. Board betrayal and investor pressure are leading causes of death of companies in the modern world. Make the directors accountable to somebody. Power without accountability is corrosive to the human spirit. Novo Nordisk is governed by a nonprofit foundation. Patagonia is governed by a perpetual purpose trust. John Lewis Partnership in the UK is governed by an employee ownership trust. IKEA, Vanguard, and REI all have these structures. The data shows these companies are dramatically more stable and higher performing than conventional structures. You are not stuck in traffic. You are traffic. People love to blame the system.
