Today we are talking about something that I think we all need to know about…  How to reset your dopamine. And before you think this is going to be one of those extreme episodes where I tell you to throw your phone into the ocean, stop drinking coffee, sit in a dark room for three days and eliminate everything fun from your life… That is absolutely not what we are doing. Because dopamine isn't bad. We need dopamine. Dopamine is part of what makes us want things. Pursue things. Work toward goals. Get up and go. The problem is that we are living in an environment where we can get enormous amounts of stimulation with almost zero effort. Open Instagram. Refresh your email. Check likes. Open TikTok. Eat something hyper-palatable. Buy something. Get a notification. Watch another episode. Click another video. Check your texts. Pick up your phone because you have 17 seconds with nothing to do. We have essentially eliminated boredom. And I think we need to talk about what that is doing to us. Because I don't think most people have a motivation problem. I think some people have made normal life too boring compared to the stimulation they consume all day long.   Think about this. Working toward a goal is slow. Building a business is slow. Getting stronger is slow. Improving a relationship is slow. Reading a book is slow. Learning something difficult is slow.     But your phone can give you novelty every half second. So what happens when your brain gets accustomed to incredibly stimulating rewards that require almost no effort? The things that actually build an awesome life can start feeling painfully boring.   And THAT is what I want to change today. I've been going deep into what Andrew Huberman, Chris Williamson, Stanford addiction psychiatrist Anna Lembke, Peter Attia and Gary Brecka have discussed around dopamine, reward, pleasure, discomfort and motivation. And there is one massive theme that keeps coming up: We need to stop getting so many rewards without earning them.   We need less cheap dopamine… And more earned dopamine. More accomplishment dopamine. More anticipation. More effort. More challenge. More doing hard things and feeling awesome afterward.   So today we're going to talk about what dopamine actually does, why our modern environment can completely screw with our motivation, what people mean by a dopamine reset, and most importantly… How we actually do it. Not forever. Not perfectly. But intentionally enough that normal life starts feeling interesting again.       Because imagine waking up and actually WANTING to work on your goals. Imagine sitting in your car without immediately opening your phone. Imagine finishing a workout and letting that accomplishment be the reward instead of instantly needing another stimulus. Imagine being fully engaged in dinner. Or a conversation. Or a walk. Or your kids. Or your work. That's what we're after. Not less enjoyment. More enjoyment from the things that actually matter. FIRST… WHAT IS DOPAMINE? Dopamine isn't simply the "pleasure chemical" This is probably the biggest misunderstanding. Dopamine plays a huge role in motivation, pursuit, learning, reinforcement and determining what your brain decides is worth pursuing again. Think less "this makes me happy" and more: "Go get that again." It's a molecule heavily involved in wanting and pursuing. Huberman explains dopamine in terms of baseline and peaks You have a baseline level of dopamine. Then certain experiences generate temporary increases above that baseline. The important part is what happens afterward. A big dopamine peak can be followed by a period where dopamine activity falls below where it was previously. This is part of why something incredible can sometimes leave you feeling strangely flat afterward. The higher and more frequently we chase enormous peaks, the more ordinary activities can start losing their appeal. Think about it like contrast If you eat incredibly sweet processed foods all day… A blueberry doesn't taste very sweet. There isn't anything wrong with the blueberry. Your reference point changed. The same general concept applies here. When your environment becomes filled with intense stimulation… Quiet feels boring. Reading feels boring. Work feels boring. Walking feels boring. A normal conversation feels boring. Your life didn't necessarily become boring. Your stimulation threshold changed. WHAT I MEAN BY "CHEAP DOPAMINE" I'm going to use the phrase cheap dopamine throughout this episode even though scientifically dopamine itself isn't cheap or expensive. What I mean is: A high-reward experience requiring very little effort. Things like: Endless short-form videos Constant social media refreshing Notifications Online shopping Gambling Highly processed foods Video games for hours and hours Constant snacking Drinking Continually checking texts Refreshing email Internet rabbit holes Watching episode after episode after episode Constant novelty And here's the key… None of those things has to be inherently evil. It's the dose. The frequency. And whether you've lost control over your consumption. There's a massive difference between choosing to watch a movie on Saturday night… And being literally unable to stand in an elevator for 25 seconds without checking your phone. That's the part I want us to notice. THE WORLD HAS REMOVED THE WAITING This might be one of the biggest problems. Almost everything used to have some friction. You wanted food? You cooked it. You wanted entertainment? You waited until your show came on. You wanted to talk to your friend? You called them. Maybe they weren't home. You wanted to buy something? You drove somewhere. You wanted information? You found a book. Now? Everything is immediate. Food. Entertainment. Shopping. Attention. Validation. Communication. Information. Novelty. Almost every human desire has an app attached to it. And our brains evolved in an environment where rewards generally required work. Now we can receive reward after reward while lying horizontally on the couch. That is a massive mismatch. THE PLEASURE-PAIN SEESAW One of my favorite explanations comes from Dr. Anna Lembke. She describes pleasure and pain almost like opposite sides of a balance. When we repeatedly push hard toward pleasure… Our brain tries to restore balance. And over time, you may need more of the stimulus just to experience the same effect. This is incredibly obvious with severe addiction. But I think it's useful to recognize much milder versions in ourselves. Have you ever: Opened Instagram for five minutes and 45 minutes disappeared? Finished a show and immediately needed another episode? Finished dessert and started looking for something else sweet? Checked one notification and then somehow checked four different apps? Picked up your phone without consciously deciding to? That automatic reaching is important. You aren't necessarily choosing anymore. You're responding. And I want us to get back into choosing. WHY NOTHING FEELS EXCITING ANYMORE Sometimes people say: "I'm unmotivated." "I don't feel like working." "I can't concentrate." "I'm bored." "I don't really feel excited about anything." Obviously there can be many medical, psychological and situational reasons for those feelings. But there is another question worth asking: How much stimulation are you consuming? Because if you're exposing yourself to novelty constantly… Your brain never gets a chance to be bored enough to create. Never bored enough to think. Never bored enough to solve a problem. Never bored enough to decide what you actually want. We're treating boredom like an emergency. I actually think boredom is incredibly productive. Some of my best ideas happen when there's nothing else coming into my brain. And we are filling every single empty pocket.   DOPAMINE STACKING Huberman talks about something that I think is fascinating: stacking multiple dopamine-producing experiences together. Think about a workout. Exercise itself can be rewarding. But now we add: Pre-workout. Favorite playlist. Phone. Texts. Social media. Energy drink. Maybe stimulants. Maybe a reward meal afterward. Maybe we post the workout and check responses. We've taken one intrinsically rewarding activity and stacked reward upon reward upon reward. And his point isn't that you can never do those things. It's that you don't necessarily want every good experience in life turned up to 100 every single time. Sometimes train without the perfect playlist. Sometimes walk without the podcast. Sometimes drink the coffee without simultaneously scrolling Instagram. Sometimes eat without watching television. Separate the rewards. You don't have to eliminate pleasure. Stop supercharging every experience. LEARN TO LOVE EFFORT This might be my favorite part of the entire episode. We need to stop making the reward exclusively something that comes AFTER the work. "I'll work out and then I can have this." "I'll finish this project and then I'll reward myself." "I'll complete my work and then I'll scroll." There's nothing wrong with celebrating accomplishments. But we also want to train ourselves to associate the effort itself with something positive. Because if the entire purpose of doing something difficult is the reward waiting at the end… The work becomes something you're trying to escape. Instead: "This discomfort means I'm getting stronger." "This is hard because I'm growing." "I'm proud of myself for doing this when I don't feel like doing it." "This is what keeping promises to myself feels like." "This is who I am." That shift is huge. The workout becomes the win. Doing the work becomes the win. Keeping the promise becomes the win. USE DISCOMFORT ON PURPOSE This theme comes up across a lot of these conversations. We're living in an unbelievably comfortable world. Temperature-controlled houses. Food everywhere. Cars. Couches. Entertainment. Delivery. Escalators. Amazon. Everything is optimized to eliminate friction. But voluntary discomfort can be incredibly valuable. Exercise. Walking. Strength training. Running. Sauna. Cold exposure when appropriate and done safely. Doing something physically difficult. Getting outside when conditions aren't perfect. Taking the stairs. Having the difficult conversation. Doing the work you're avoiding. The idea isn't: "Suffering is good." The idea is: Stop organizing your entire life around avoiding discomfort. Because challenge followed by satisfaction is very different from pleasure followed by emptiness. One you earned. One you consumed. We need both fun and hard things. But modern life has heavily tilted us toward consumption. DON'T START YOUR DAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S DOPAMINE Here's something I think would change a lot of people's lives. Do not roll over and immediately hand your brain to your phone. Because instantly you've got: Texts. News. Instagram. Email. TikTok. Other people's emergencies. Other people's opinions. Other people's lives. Other people's accomplishments. Other people's bodies. Other people's vacations. Other people's businesses. Other people's problems. Before you've even decided what YOU want your day to look like. I would rather protect that first part of the morning. Wake up. Water. Sunlight. Walk. Workout. Journal. Think. Plan. Work. Whatever your routine is. Just don't immediately flood your brain with novelty. You should decide the direction of your day before an algorithm decides it for you. THE 2.0 DOPAMINE RESET Okay. Here is what I would actually do. Not some insane internet detox. A realistic reset. RULE #1: Identify YOUR cheap dopamine Ask yourself: What do I compulsively reach for? Not what does the internet tell me is bad. What has control over ME? Maybe yours is: Instagram. TikTok. Shopping. Sugar. Video games. News. YouTube. Email. Texting. Something else. Identify the top one or two. Don't try to become a monk overnight. RULE #2: Take a meaningful break from the biggest offender If something truly feels compulsive, consider taking a real period away from it rather than constantly trying to moderate it. Try deleting it for a week. Maybe two. Maybe 30 days. See what happens. You might be shocked by how often your hand reaches for an app that isn't there. That's valuable information. RULE #3: Stop filling every gap This is a HUGE one. We're bringing back empty space. Stand in line. Just stand there. Drive five minutes. No podcast. Walk around the block. No headphones. Sit outside. Do nothing. Take a shower without content playing. Cook dinner without a video. You are retraining yourself to tolerate a lower level of stimulation. And here's the funny thing… After a while it doesn't feel low stimulation. It feels peaceful. RULE #4: Create phone-free zones Pick places where your phone does not belong. Examples: Bedroom Dinner table Gym Family time Bathroom First hour of the morning Last hour before bed Don't rely purely on willpower. Change your environment. Leave the phone somewhere else. Make the bad habit inconvenient. RULE #5: Turn off almost every notification Notifications are someone else deciding when your attention moves. Think about that. Unless something legitimately requires immediate attention… Turn it off. RULE #6: Stop stacking everything Coffee + Instagram + television + food + texting? No. Pick one. Workout + podcast + scrolling between sets + energy drink + Instagram? Simplify it. Let an experience stand alone. Food can just be food. Coffee can just be coffee. A walk can just be a walk. A conversation can just be a conversation. RULE #7: Get your dopamine through pursuit This is the big replacement strategy. You can't just remove things. You need better things to move toward. Exercise. Building something. Learning. Working. Creating. Sports. Relationships. Adventure. Goals. Competition. Skill. Experiences. Meaningful challenges. Get obsessed with something difficult. That is completely different than being addicted to consumption. RULE #8: Do one hard thing every day I love this rule. Every day, intentionally do something that you'd rather avoid. Workout hard. Make the phone call. Send the proposal. Clean the closet. Have the conversation. Finish the project. Run the hill. Get into the cold water if that's safe for you. Walk when you'd rather sit. Do the thing you've been procrastinating. You start creating evidence: "I don't have to feel like doing something in order to do it." That is power. RULE #9: Prioritize sleep Your brain isn't operating independently of your body. If you're chronically sleep-deprived, everything becomes harder. Motivation. Impulse control. Training. Food choices. Emotional regulation. Focus. Peter Attia and Huberman both hammer sleep for a reason. If we're trying to optimize our brain while sleeping five hours… We're focusing on the wrong end of the problem. RULE #10: Morning sunlight and movement Huberman talks frequently about getting outdoor light early in the day to anchor your circadian system. I love pairing that with movement. Outside. Walk. Light. No Instagram. Let your nervous system wake up naturally. It's incredibly simple. And simple things done repeatedly tend to beat complicated hacks. THE 24-HOUR CHALLENGE Here is your challenge. For the next 24 hours: No phone for the first 30 minutes after waking. No social media until you've completed something productive. Turn off unnecessary notifications. No phone while eating. Take one walk without headphones. Do one difficult thing you've been avoiding. No double-screening. If you're watching TV, you're not also scrolling. Put your phone outside your bedroom tonight. Let yourself experience boredom. Notice every time you instinctively reach for stimulation. Don't judge yourself. Observe yourself. Because awareness is the beginning of changing anything. THEN TRY SEVEN DAYS Now let's level it up. For seven days: Reduce your biggest cheap-dopamine behavior dramatically. You don't need to eliminate all pleasure. In fact, please don't. Go to dinner. Laugh. Drink your coffee. Listen to music. Hang with friends. Enjoy your life. This isn't punishment. We're trying to reclaim our ability to enjoy NORMAL things. That's the goal. Less artificial stimulation. More real life. ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION Before you reach for something, ask: Am I choosing this, or am I escaping something? That question can completely change things. Why am I opening Instagram? Because I intentionally decided to spend 15 minutes enjoying it? Fine. Or because this task got difficult? Why am I eating this? Because I'm hungry and I want it? Fine. Or because I'm uncomfortable? Why am I drinking? Because I'm celebrating with friends? Or because I can't tolerate sitting with how I feel? Why am I checking email for the 47th time? Because I'm waiting for something important? Or because working on the project in front of me is harder? That pause between impulse and behavior… That's where your power is. CHEAP DOPAMINE VS EARNED DOPAMINE This is the easiest way I can summarize the episode. Cheap dopamine: Consume. Scroll. Click. Watch. Refresh. Snack. Buy. Escape. Earned dopamine: Build. Train. Create. Learn. Connect. Explore. Compete. Finish. Accomplish. The first category isn't evil. But if the balance of your life is overwhelmingly consumption… Don't be surprised when your motivation disappears. Shift the ratio. More creating. Less consuming. More doing. Less watching. More participating. Less observing. More real life. Less digital life. WE NEED ANTICIPATION BACK I think anticipation is disappearing. When everything is immediately available… There's nothing to look forward to. And looking forward to something is part of the fun. Plan the trip. Wait for Friday night. Save the amazing dessert for dinner. Don't buy everything the second you want it. Put the concert on the calendar. Build toward the race. Earn the reward. Delay things intentionally sometimes. The waiting isn't ruining the experience. The waiting IS part of the experience. YOUR LIFE SHOULD NOT NEED CONSTANT ENTERTAINMENT This might be the line I want you to remember. You should not need to be entertained every minute in order to enjoy your life. Your kids shouldn't either. We need boring car rides. We need afternoons with nothing scheduled. We need conversations without phones. We need walks. We need staring out the freaking window. We need thinking. We need daydreaming. We need opportunities for our brains to say: "Okay… what should we do?" Creativity often appears after the stimulation disappears. THE GOAL IS NOT LOWER DOPAMINE This is important. We're not trying to crush dopamine. We're not trying to become emotionless. We're not trying to avoid things that make us feel amazing. We're trying to protect our ability to feel amazing. That's different. We want the vacation to feel incredible. The concert. The accomplishment. The amazing dinner. The business win. The race. The adventure. The hug. The goal. The experience. We just don't need to manufacture an artificial mini-version of that feeling 800 times between breakfast and lunch. Leave some room. Let your baseline exist without constantly smashing the stimulation button.   Here's what I think is so interesting about all of this. We have designed a world where almost everything that used to require effort can now be accessed instantly. And that sounds like freedom. But if we're not careful… Convenience becomes dependence. Entertainment becomes distraction. Pleasure becomes compulsion. And access becomes addiction. The answer isn't to reject modern life. I'm certainly not giving up my phone. I'm not giving up coffee. I'm not giving up Instagram. I'm not giving up amazing food or concerts or trips or all the fun things. I want MORE life. That's actually the entire point. I don't want to spend my life looking down at a screen getting tiny rewards when there are enormous rewards available by actually participating in life. I want the dopamine from doing the workout I didn't want to do. Building the business. Taking the trip. Making the memory. Trying something new. Getting really freaking good at something. Having an amazing conversation. Being completely present with my kids. Creating something I'm proud of. Doing something hard. That's the dopamine I want more of. And maybe the simplest takeaway from this whole episode is this: Stop making pleasure so easy and effort so optional. Let yourself work for things. Let yourself wait for things. Let yourself be bored. Let yourself struggle. Let yourself anticipate. Let yourself earn some of the really good feelings. Because when we stop trying to make every moment maximally stimulating… Something really cool happens. Normal life starts becoming awesome again. And that is how to be awesome at resetting your dopamine.

For seven years, Caroline D'Amore built Pizza Girl around one model: get it into supermarkets. Then a tragedy she never saw coming, the LA fires, handed her the business she'd actually been missing the whole time.Key Takeaways:Watch your crisis response for a business signal: Pizza Girl's turnkey B2B event program came directly out of the community pizza donations Caroline organized during the LA fires.Separate your personal story from your market research: Naming and building her first product around personal reasons instead of what the market wanted cost her early traction.Close a product line before it compromises your values. Caroline shut down her supermarket sauce division rather than water down the ingredients to hit retail margins.Filter every idea through one question. "Does this directly correlate to a sale" now decides what her team spends time on, not what's fun to market.Take outside capital when it lets you move faster. Caroline gave up full ownership for investors who let Pizza Girl scale its facilities and trucking instead of growing at a slow uphill pace alone.Revenue / Growth Insight: The B2B turnkey program, tabletop ovens and subscription par-baked pizzas sold directly to hotels, offices, and event venues, grew from one hotel account to 30 venues across LA in months, a faster and higher-margin path than the original supermarket retail model Caroline spent seven years building.Pizza Girl WebsitePizza Girl LinkedInPizza Girl InstagramPizza Girl FacebookPizza Girl YouTubeCaroline D'Amore InstagramCaroline D'Amore LinkedInGordon Ramsay Food Stars Caroline D'AmoreWork with She Built It® Media She Built It® Instagram She Built It® CEO, Melanie Barr InstagramMelanie Barr LinkedInShe Built It® LinkedIn

Today we're beginning a brand-new series that I believe addresses one of the most important distinctions we can make in the Christian life.We're going to talk about Union and Communion.Here's the foundational thought for this entire series: Union is what is true because of Christ. Communion is our participation in what is true.When we confuse those two things, the Christian life can very quickly become an exhausting attempt to accomplish something that Christ has already accomplished.Hester Ministries⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Present Truth Academy ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Rorschach God⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Your athlete trains hard, shows up, pushes through every session. Then out of nowhere, the progress stops. In this episode, Coach Julian breaks down the four recovery habits that separate athletes who keep improving year after year from athletes who plateau and stay there, and none of them involve training harder. You'll learn why sleep might be the most underrated performance variable an athlete has, the simple ratio coaches use to manage training load before it causes an injury, the honest research on deload weeks and why they matter over months, not days, and how tracking daily readiness can catch fatigue before it becomes a setback. We close with what overtraining syndrome actually looks like, and why it's what happens by default when these habits are missing. Real research, real numbers, and habits you can start building this week. From Prepare For Performance in Rockville, MD. Learn more at trainwithpfp.com.

Literature and Learning: A History of English Studies in Britain (Oxford University Press, 2025) by Stefan Collini The study and teaching of English literature is generally regarded as one of the central disciplines in the modern university, yet for much of its history it struggled to gain academic legitimacy and was frequently derided as 'a soft option'. Its early professors responded by emphasizing its scholarly character, foregrounding philology and literary history in ways that marked the syllabus far into the twentieth century. Stefan Collini provides here the first full account of the discipline's development from its late-eighteenth-century beginnings up to the early 1960s. Paying special attention to institutional settings, he challenges numerous assumptions about the character of universities in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. From the detailed exploration of syllabuses, exam papers, and other institutional records, the impact of literary criticism is revealed to be later and more partial than is commonly assumed. Rather than seeing the early teaching of English literature as 'a substitute for religion' or 'a means to soften class conflict', Collini emphasizes the role of ideals of learnedness and scholarship, as well as of external factors such as opportunities for employment in the civil service and secondary school-teaching. There are full discussions of the parts played by such figures as John Churton Collins, A.C. Bradley, George Saintsbury, and Walter Raleigh, together with sceptical analyses of the decisive significance usually attributed to Matthew Arnold, T.S. Eliot, I.A. Richards, and F.R. Leavis. Separate chapters are devoted to neglected aspects of the story such as the role of Classics, the importance of the subject for women's higher education, and the connections with English teaching in schools.

Literature and Learning: A History of English Studies in Britain (Oxford University Press, 2025) by Stefan Collini The study and teaching of English literature is generally regarded as one of the central disciplines in the modern university, yet for much of its history it struggled to gain academic legitimacy and was frequently derided as 'a soft option'. Its early professors responded by emphasizing its scholarly character, foregrounding philology and literary history in ways that marked the syllabus far into the twentieth century. Stefan Collini provides here the first full account of the discipline's development from its late-eighteenth-century beginnings up to the early 1960s. Paying special attention to institutional settings, he challenges numerous assumptions about the character of universities in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. From the detailed exploration of syllabuses, exam papers, and other institutional records, the impact of literary criticism is revealed to be later and more partial than is commonly assumed. Rather than seeing the early teaching of English literature as 'a substitute for religion' or 'a means to soften class conflict', Collini emphasizes the role of ideals of learnedness and scholarship, as well as of external factors such as opportunities for employment in the civil service and secondary school-teaching. There are full discussions of the parts played by such figures as John Churton Collins, A.C. Bradley, George Saintsbury, and Walter Raleigh, together with sceptical analyses of the decisive significance usually attributed to Matthew Arnold, T.S. Eliot, I.A. Richards, and F.R. Leavis. Separate chapters are devoted to neglected aspects of the story such as the role of Classics, the importance of the subject for women's higher education, and the connections with English teaching in schools. Drawing on extensive use of institutional archives and records as well as the writings of contemporary participants, the book offers a vivid and wide-ranging history of English-as-discipline and its centrality across academic, literary, cultural, and educational life over the past two year hundred years, as well as a resounding testament to its continued importance and relevance today.

Confidence comes after you begin.We cover:Why fear looks like drowning when it is often a puddleWhy you do not need confidence before you actHow past experiences make a small step feel hugeWhy “I'm frustrated” is not the same as “I'm leaving”Fight, flight, and freeze — and what each one is protectingHow fear gets used to control, cover, or avoid being exposedTrading humiliation for patienceAligning your fight with the desire of your heart: a life worth living, not comfort in shameIf you keep waiting to feel ready, the fear stays wide. If you take the inch-deep step with your eyes open, you collect proof that you can stand.Try this after you listenName the fear in one sentence. What are you actually afraid will happen?Separate history from this moment.

I believe your body is the most important asset you have, and most business owners are treating it like an afterthought. In this episode of Building Billions, I sit down with my friend Russ Yeager to talk about why generic health and fitness advice is failing people and what happens when you start optimizing the individual instead of the population. We get into genetics, bloodwork, precision nutrition, supplementation, and training, and why the process has to start with normalizing the body before you ever start chasing performance. Russ shares what he’s seen firsthand with the business owners he works with and how dramatically their health, confidence, leadership, and performance can change when they finally understand what their individual body needs. We also talk about the massive opportunity this creates for trainers, gym owners, nutritionists, physical therapists, chiropractors, nurse practitioners, and other health professionals. I don’t believe the future of health is one person trying to do everything themselves. It’s a team of experts working together around one individual, using real data to create a truly personalized approach. Russ has already built a successful business helping people transform their bodies, and now we’re working together to help health professionals do the same while building more valuable, profitable businesses. If you’re in the health and fitness industry and want to become the authority in your market, this conversation will show you what’s possible.Support the show: http://cardoneventures.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens to your organizational culture when a valued employee leaves?In this episode of The Experimental Leader, Melanie Parish and Mel Rutherford explore one of the often-overlooked moments in leadership: how we handle employee departures. Even when an exit is complicated by frustration, conflict, or disappointment, the way leaders respond sends a powerful message to the people who remain.Mel and Melanie discuss why failing to acknowledge an employee's contributions can become a cultural trap—and how thoughtful, authentic recognition can turn a departure into an opportunity to reinforce what your organization values.You'll hear practical insights on how to:Recognize an employee's contribution, even when the ending isn't perfect.Understand what remaining employees are watching when someone leaves.Protect and strengthen organizational culture during times of transition.Separate gratitude for someone's contribution from the circumstances of their departure.Support the idea that people can grow beyond an organization—and that this can be a sign of healthy leadership.A good goodbye isn't just about the person who is leaving. It's also about the people who stay and the culture you are continuing to build.Listen to this episode of The Experimental Leader and consider: What message does your organization send when someone walks out the door?Get the Leadership Blueprint FREE:Visit the Leadership Blueprint course and use code ODYSSEY at checkout to access it for free.Keep experimenting.

This is not financial advice. __________________________________ Most physicians building a side business fall into one of two traps with "the number." 1: Trying to fully replace clinical income right out of the gate. Anything short of that full salary feels like failure, so healthy early-stage progress gets misread as "this isn't working." 2: Never setting a number at all. You're busy with webinars, LinkedIn posts, and calls, but you can't tell whether the business is working because you never defined what "working" means. Dr. Mike Woo-Ming reframes the goal: your real number isn't your income. It's your freedom number; the smallest monthly amount of outside income that lets you drop a call shift, cut a clinic day, or reclaim a Sunday. That number is almost always a fraction of your salary, and that's the point. Financial freedom isn't matching your W-2; it's buying back your time dollar by dollar.  He shares his own story of setting an ambitious $10,000 per month target early on, watching the gap feel like failure every month, and only turning the corner when he lowered the bar to what would actually change his life (starting with covering a car payment).  Two physician case studies drive the point home: one who set a realistic freedom number and kept going, and one who quit a promising venture because it failed to hit an unrealistic sprint-style target in the first few months. The episode ends with a practical three-step exercise you can finish in 5–10 minutes tonight: Freedom number: Smallest monthly amount that changes one specific thing about your week. Proof number: First repeatable revenue that proves the concept works (often far smaller). Time check: Divide by the hours you're realistically willing to give; adjust if it becomes another full-time grind. Once you have the right number, the same business often stops feeling behind and starts feeling ahead. Three Actionable Takeaways: Your freedom number is not your salary: Calculate the smallest monthly outside income that lets you change one concrete thing (drop a call, cut a clinic day, reclaim a weekend). For most physicians this is a few thousand dollars a month, not a few hundred thousand a year. Separate proof from freedom: Early on, track a much smaller "proof number" (first repeatable paying customers or first $500–$1,000 per month recurring). It answers "Does this concept work?" long before the freedom number arrives. Run the time check: If reaching your freedom number requires another 30–60 hour week on top of clinical work, the math isn't freedom, it's a second job. Adjust offer, price, or timeline until the hours fit the life you actually have.

The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic - Diamond Host Whether you are craving a person that is unavailable or an experience that is unavailable, what is it about the unavailable that has it be so much more interesting? People often have a craving for the unavailable and it can be for many different reasons. In this episode we will explore: The neuroscience behind cravings Do people just like having a craving, or does it need to be fulfilled When can a craving become an obsession How to stop craving the unavailable Join Milica Jelenic, Sex & Intimacy Coach, Holistic Health Practitioner on this episode of The Pleasure Zone where we will discuss, "Craving The Unavailable". 5 Key Takeaways Craving the unavailable can feel safer than having a real relationship. Fantasy allows you to desire someone without facing the vulnerability, responsibility, and effort of actually being together. Inconsistent attention can intensify craving. Small moments of attention or affection can create powerful dopamine highs that keep you wanting the next interaction. Ask whether you're craving the person or the feeling they give you. You may actually be seeking the attention, validation, excitement, connection, or emotional high associated with them. Separate the fantasy from the reality. Ask whether you would genuinely want the relationship—with its incompatibilities, expectations, vulnerabilities, and everyday realities—if that person suddenly became available. Choose yourself first. Identify what you believe this person will give you and begin fulfilling those needs within yourself instead of making them responsible for filling the void.

Anxious-avoidant attachment, emotionally immature in-laws, panic attacks, and what if the unicorn has rabies? Tony tackles his first live Q&A in a year, where you'll hear answers to these questions and many more. Recorded live with daughter Sydney moderating, Tony takes real questions from real listeners: what happens when you spot narcissistic traits in your spouse's parent before they do, how to stop reacting and start building the pause, and the complete origin story of the anxious-avoidant loop — the pattern he sees in almost every couple who walks into his office. If you keep pursuing while your partner withdraws, this episode names what's actually happening between those two nervous systems. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Understand why handing your spouse the word "narcissist" for their own parent asks them to reinterpret an entire childhood — and what tends to work instead. Move through the four stages of awakening, from "you don't know what you don't know" to unconscious competence. Separate observation from judgment ("she hasn't texted back" vs. "she doesn't care about me") using the pre-pillar of Tony's four pillars of a connected conversation. Meet Jack and Jill: how anxious and avoidant partners find each other, fall into the pursue-withdraw dynamic, and begin to break the loop. Work with your biology during a panic attack — extended exhales, co-regulation, and why being told to "calm down" triggers psychological reactance. Tony Overbay is a licensed marriage and family therapist who has spent more than 20 years — and 15 to 20 couples a week — watching these patterns play out in real time.

Why does a simple comment from your partner suddenly feel like an assassination attempt on your entire character?In this episode, Dr. John introduces the Inner Kingdom: a practical model for understanding the competing voices inside every man. There's the wounded young Squire, the heavily armed Knight, the emotionally honest Lover, and the wise King who is supposed to be running the place.Unfortunately, the Knight is fast, reactive, and already holding your phone.You'll learn why criticism can trigger old wounds, how protective reactions sabotage relationships, and how to reclaim the throne before sending that text beginning, “Let me be perfectly clear…”In This Episode Why feedback can feel like a verdict on your worth The four figures within the Inner Kingdom How childhood experiences become unconscious rules Why the Knight confuses discomfort with danger The vulnerable emotions hiding beneath anger and defensiveness What mature, values-driven self-leadership looks like Five real-life triggers involving work, marriage, friendship, parenting, and aging The THRONE method for responding instead of reacting Why progress is measured by your speed of return—not by never losing your cool How ProxyHe can help when your wisest voice has apparently left the building Meet the Inner KingdomThe Squire carries old wounds and beliefs such as “I'm not enough,” “I don't matter,” or “I'm going to be rejected.”The Knight protects the Squire through anger, defensiveness, control, fixing, withdrawal, sarcasm, or the ancient masculine ritual of reorganizing the garage instead of discussing a feeling.The Lover carries tenderness, grief, fear, longing, pleasure, and the desire for connection—the feelings that often reappear disguised as irritation, numbness, or a federal case concerning the dishwasher.The King listens to the entire court and chooses the response that serves your values, relationships, and long-term goals.The goal isn't to exile any of these voices. It's to stop the loudest one from grabbing the crown, the sword, and your group chat.The THRONE MethodWhen you're triggered, use THRONE to restore choice: T — Track who is present: Is this the Squire, Knight, Lover, or King speaking? H — Halt the reaction: Pause before attacking, defending, fixing, withdrawing, or pressing Send. R — Regulate the body: Body first, story second. Slow your breathing, release your jaw, and feel your feet on the floor. O — Open the court: Hear what each part fears, protects, feels, and needs. N — Name the wise choice: Separate the present facts from the old story and identify the response that serves your values. E — Execute and evaluate: Take the smallest right action, review what happened, and repair any harm. Key TakeawaySelf-mastery isn't domination of the self. It's wise stewardship of the self.You will lose the throne sometimes. The real measure of growth is how quickly you return—and whether you can repair the damage without offering the classic non-apology, “I'm sorry you felt that way.”That isn't an apology. That's your Knight wearing a Groucho Marx mustache.Bring it one real situation: the conversation you're avoiding, the reaction you regret, the decision you can't settle, or the draft message beginning, “I wasn't going to say anything, but…”Try Proxi He free at Proximity Coaching.

Nobody blinks when a doctor says you'll be on blood pressure medication for the rest of your life. Say the same sentence about an antidepressant, or Zepbound, and responses are quite different. This episode digs into deprescribing, the fast-growing clinical movement around when and how to stop medications, and asks why some "forever drugs" get a cultural pass while others get moralized. In this episode we will:Separate the real clinical debate around antidepressant tapering from the online discourseTake on the GLP-1 stigma directly, with two 2024 JAMA Internal Medicine studies that found no elevated depression or suicidality risk, and ask why "you may need this forever" reads as scandal here but shrug everywhere elseSit with the RLS story, where the science just ran the opposite direction: 2025 AASM guidelines downgraded dopamine agonists after mounting evidence of augmentation, a drug-induced worsening of symptoms, making deprescribing here the conservative, evidence-driven move, not the fringe oneAsk why hypersomnia drugs generate almost zero cultural friction at all, and what that quiet exception reveals about the other threeLand on what actually predicts whether a "forever medication" gets treated as a fact of chronic disease or a personal failing — and why RLS should make you distrust any tidy answer to that question, including this episode'sTo find out more about this week's podcast sponsor Fitnexa and their SomniPods 3, please use the following link https://go.fitnexa.com/egVvZ9 and use the code DRCHRIS10 for $10 dollars off your order.Original 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!

Today on AOTA Shorts: A group of families and education advocates in Massachusetts join a growing number of lawsuits challenging school segregation across the country.  Since the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954, America begrudgingly inched forward in its efforts to integrate public schools, and then almost immediately began backtracking on that promise systematically. Today schools are more segregated than they've been in decades, and with entrenched racial housing patterns, and a federal government that has weaponized the civil rights infrastructure against us, the problem is clear, but the solutions are not. What did we gain and lose in the era following Brown? And what lessons should we learn in this renewed fight against segregation?

https://teachhoops.com/ How Do You Build Real Confidence in Your Players? Subtitle: Why confidence is built in practice, not handed out in pep talks Show Notes Every coach has said it. "Just be confident." It has never once worked. Confidence is not a mood you talk a player into. It is a byproduct of evidence. In this episode we break down where confidence actually comes from and how you engineer it inside your program. What we cover: 1. Confidence comes from competence Players believe what they have proven to themselves. A kid who has made 500 shots from the left wing in practice does not need a pep talk when he catches it there in a game. Build the rep count and the belief follows. 2. Give them a role they can win at Confidence collapses when a player is asked to be something he is not. Define a job that fits the player in front of you, then celebrate him doing that job well. A great screener who knows he is a great screener plays free. A great screener trying to be a scorer plays scared. 3. Praise the process, correct the outcome If you only praise made shots, you teach players that their worth is tied to results they cannot control. Praise the right read, the right cut, the right shot. Then they can miss and stay confident. 4. Be specific "Good job" builds nothing. "That was a great job of getting your feet set before the catch" builds a memory the player can go back to. Specific praise is a deposit. Vague praise is noise. 5. Watch your body language after mistakes Players read your face before they hear your words. The eye roll, the turn to the assistant, the hands on the hips. That does more damage than anything you say. If you want confident players, be the same coach after a turnover that you are after a layup. 6. Let them play through failure Confidence is not built by never failing. It is built by failing and surviving it. If every mistake means an immediate sub, you are teaching fear. Leave them in sometimes. Let them fix it themselves. 7. Film is your best confidence tool Show them clips of themselves doing it right. Most players carry a highlight reel of their worst moments. Replace it. Five clips of a kid doing his job well can change how he sees himself for a month. 8. Separate confidence from playing time The end of your bench needs confidence too. Those players determine practice quality, and practice quality determines everything. Invest in them like starters. Coach takeaway: You cannot give a player confidence. You can only give him the reps, the role, and the evidence that make it impossible for him to doubt himself.

Explore the psychology of effective leadership and the hidden mental patterns that influence how you handle fear, failure, and change. A leader can learn new skills, adopt ambitious goals, and proudly claim a growth mindset—yet still remain trapped by the way they interpret the world. Sure, you might believe people can change, but... Are you willing to hear what you do not want to hear, pursue what matters instead of merely avoiding loss, and see the people around you as human beings rather than instruments. In this episode, Ryan Gottfredson explores the four mindsets that shape leadership psychology: fixed or growth, closed or open, prevention or promotion, and inward or outward. Together, they explain why two people can face the same problem and produce entirely different results. More encouragingly, these mindsets can be improved through small, repeated interventions—sometimes involving little more than reflection, better questions, and five minutes of honest journaling. Separate your identity from the possibility of being wrong. Choose a meaningful destination instead of drifting away from danger. Ask how your decisions affect the people you lead. Listen closely, find the lens you have been carrying, and decide what becomes possible when you change it.

The Secret to Overcoming Anger: Separate the Feeling from the Story

Send us Fan MailLong distance parenting plans, blended families, and Arizona child custody look very different from the inside. Billie Tarascio talks with Modern Law attorney Eilen E. Castellano Tatis, who spent her childhood moving between her mom's home in New York and her dad's home in Utah after her parents divorced. Eilen explains what her parents did right, why she still credits them at 26, and how that experience shapes the way she guides Arizona families through divorce and custody today. Eilen E. Castellano Tatis is a family law attorney at Modern Law, serving clients across Arizona in divorce, child custody, and parenting plan matters. She started her career as a homicide prosecutor in Maricopa County, moved to civil litigation at a 170 plus attorney Phoenix firm, and chose family law because it lets her advocate for people instead of entities. She earned her law degree at the University of Arizona and brings courtroom experience plus lived experience to every case.Key Takeaways:- Long distance parenting plans can still build close relationships with both parents- Kids carry the memory of how their parents handled the split- Keep children out of the middle instead of using them as messengers- Remarriage and stepfamilies change the dynamic more than the divorce itself- Parents who protect the other parent's relationship give their kids stability- Zealous advocacy and de-escalation work together in family law- Winning one argument today can cost your client the next ten years- Ask what you are actually trying to accomplish before you escalate- Family law rewards emotional intelligence as much as legal skill- Separate what feels upsetting from what needs a legal response- Criminal cases end at sentencing while family cases shape the future- Choose mentors who want you to outgrow themChapters:00:00 Meet Eilen Castellano Tatis00:58 Growing up between two households04:31 How her parents kept her out of the conflict07:41 The moment that led her to law10:29 Homicide prosecution and the toll it takes13:44 Why she moved to family law15:42 When to fight and when to de-escalate22:34 Cycling, mentors, and life outside court28:37 The clients and cases she wants mostConnect with Eilen E.

In this episode, Dr. Kelly Rees joins Chris Krueger for a candid conversation about staying close when Parkinson's changes your body, your self-image, and your relationship. They talk through what to do when touch becomes unpleasant, how to navigate mismatched desire without pressuring each other, impulse control changes related to dopamine agonists, and how couples stay connected when symptoms mean sleeping in separate beds. Whether you live with Parkinson's or care for someone who does, Dr. Rees's closing advice holds the whole conversation: don't give up on yourself. Kelly Rees, PhD is a board-certified therapist who specializes in intimacy, relationships, and sexual wellbeing in the context of Parkinson's.

How to Make Meetings More Productive and Effective Stop Wasting Time in Meetings: Focus on Decisions and Action Episode 318 (Mark is based in Toronto) Repeat of episode 167 In this conversation with Mark Ellwood we explore: why meetings should lead to decisions and action the responsibility of every meeting participant how to bring a wandering discussion back on track why different perspectives make meetings both difficult and valuable how precise instructions improve breakout discussions finding common ground during heated disagreements using veto values to uncover agreement empathetic listening before attempting to persuade asking whether people can live with a group decision knowing when to stop debating and gather more evidence drawing reluctant participants into the conversation using anonymous comments to uncover hidden concerns separating facts, feelings and speculation asking open-ended questions that encourage deeper answers creating equal voices despite differences in organizational rank when an outside facilitator can improve the meeting designing an agenda that progresses toward action ----- About our guest, Mark Ellwood: Mark helps organizations develop their strategic plan. He serves as facilitator, trainer, team builder and time study consultant. He is an inventor, a poet and a keen puzzle solver. Learn more about Mark and his services at https://getmoredone.com/ https://terrificteams.com/ ----- Key Lessons from this converation with Mark Ellwood: The purpose of most meetings is to bring stakeholders together to make decisions that lead to action. A meeting should produce something different after people leave the room. Different perspectives create challenges in meetings, but those differences also create value. Every participant has the right and responsibility to improve the dynamics of the meeting. You don't need to chair the meeting to ask for clarity or bring a wandering discussion back on track. Give breakout groups precise questions and a defined format for their answers. When disagreement becomes heated, identify the values and facts that participants agree on. Empathetic listening helps people understand opposing positions before attempting to resolve them. Consensus doesn't require everybody to prefer the final decision. Sometimes the useful question is, "Can you live with that?" When the group lacks the information required to make a decision, stop debating and gather the necessary evidence. A break can provide space for people to reconsider positions and have useful informal conversations. Watch the body language of participants who haven't spoken. Silence doesn't necessarily indicate agreement. Anonymous written comments can surface concerns that participants hesitate to voice publicly. Feelings deserve acknowledgement. Instead of arguing with someone's feelings, ask questions to understand what lies behind them. Use open-ended prompts such as "Tell me more" and "Paint me a picture" to move beyond superficial answers. Separate facts from feelings and speculation when evaluating an issue. Review past performance by asking: What happened? What did we learn? What does this mean for the future? Establish meeting ground rules that give participants an equal opportunity to speak and be heard. An outside facilitator can reduce the influence of organizational baggage, hierarchy and established relationships. Build the agenda as a logical sequence that moves participants toward decisions and action. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

Janet Caperna is back in the Haute Seat with us, and this time we go even deeper into love, marriage, motherhood, money, reality TV and the friendships that made—and complicated—The Valley. Janet tells us how a four-Corona Tulum moment changed everything when she looked at longtime friend Jason and suddenly realized the guy she had been searching for was already in front of her. From their first real kiss to her immediate “I'm marrying this man” declaration, she opens up about why Jason became her person, how they divide money and responsibilities, and why separate bank accounts and separate bathrooms might be her secret to a happy marriage. We rewind to the years Janet spent quietly watching the Vanderpump world from the background while working as an executive assistant for major names, including Cameron Diaz and Catherine Power at Avaline. Then came the move to the Valley, a closer friendship with Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor, the original “baby bottle service” concept, Scandoval reigniting interest in the group, an unexpected pregnancy—and suddenly Janet was filming season one of The Valley. Nothing is off limits as Janet talks Kristen Doute, Nia, Jax, Brittany, Ariana Madix, Jesse, Lacy, Michelle and the moment she thought photos of Michelle and Dr. Dre were AI. She reveals why she believes Raquel could have redeemed herself by returning to Vanderpump Rules, why she refuses to campaign for cast members to be fired, and why she thinks reality TV only works when you stop hiding from the cameras and show the real, raw mess. She even takes us inside the Big Bear breakdown where, seven months pregnant and cooking for everyone, she threw tortilla chips at Jason, burst into tears and made the split-second decision to let the cameras follow. We also get into Ariana's Love Island success and fashion, Janet's plans to try for baby number two, her wild 7/7/27 family-date dream, her future cookbook and homeware ambitions, and the life she actually wants when the cameras are gone. And then things take a very unexpected turn when Jesse's claimed history with Anna Nicole Smith comes up—something that shocks us, because we were there and knew Anna's life intimately. It's love, lawsuits, baby plans, reality-TV boundaries, Scandoval clues, Dr. Dre shockers and one very Undressed conversation.

In this solo episode, I explore something I see again and again on the fertility path. The moment a label gets attached to your body, something shifts. A word from a doctor, a number on a lab report, a diagnosis. Suddenly you are not just living in your body, you are living inside the story you were handed about it. We look at two powerful words. Placebo, where belief in a treatment creates real, measurable improvement, and its lesser known shadow, nocebo, where a negative expectation produces real, measurable harm. Drawing on a body of research, including a large meta-analysis of more than eight thousand people and the well-known work on how labeling shapes outcomes, I unpack how the words we hear, and the words we tell ourselves, land in the body in ways we can measure. Then I bring this home to fertility. The labels so many women carry, from diminished ovarian reserve to advanced maternal age to hostile uterus, carry a second emotional and physiological payload that almost no one warns you about. I share the Chinese medicine view of the Bao Mai, the channel connecting the heart to the uterus, and how what lands in the heart reaches the womb. This is the same truth that modern nocebo research is only now naming. This is not about positive thinking on command, and it is never about blame. It is about gently taking back authorship of the story your body lives inside. I close with grounded ways to separate the data from the story, soften the language you carry, and protect your inner environment in this tender season. Key Takeaways: The placebo effect is well known, but its shadow, the nocebo effect, is just as real. A negative expectation alone can produce genuine physical symptoms, not imagined ones. A 2023 meta-analysis of 130 studies and more than 8,000 people found a reliable, medium sized nocebo effect across many health outcomes. The expectation of harm was enough to create the experience of harm. Labels carry power. Research shows that simply being told a medication was a cheaper generic, with nothing else changed, led more people to report side effects and feel it worked less well. The body responds to the label, not only the substance. Belief can heal as well as harm. In the Crum and Langer hotel maids study, women who were simply told their daily work counted as exercise showed real drops in weight, blood pressure, and body fat, with no change in behavior. On the fertility path, clinical labels carry a hidden emotional and physiological payload. The reproductive system is highly sensitive to the nervous system, and a frightening label can quietly feed a fear and stress loop. Chinese medicine has described this for thousands of years through the Bao Mai, the heart to uterus channel. When the heart is calm, the message reaches the womb. When the heart is in distress, the womb feels it. What lands in the heart reaches the body. This is never about blame or forcing positivity. It is about reclaiming authorship. Separate the data from the story, question the language you have absorbed, protect your inner environment, and cultivate genuine calm.

She had spent years searching for separate answers to bloating, PCOS, poor sleep, excessive gas, and fertility struggles. Then her son developed reflux, mucus in his stool, constipation, poor sleep, and obvious digestive discomfort.She kept researching probiotics, calming remedies and nervous-system support because everything felt fragmented. Then in listening to other episodes on the podcast, she realized something that changed the entire direction of their healing… she doesn't need a separate solution for every symptom.In this episode, I'm sharing her message and revealing the deeper connection between the symptoms a mother experiences throughout her life and the symptoms that can appear in her child. We'll also talk about why we sometimes resist the answer that makes the most intuitive sense, especially after trying so many things that did not work.If you have been chasing symptoms, collecting supplements, and wondering which problem to address first, this episode will help you zoom out, understand the whole picture, and confidently choose your next step.Thanks for listening!

In this episode of the Travis Makes Money Podcast, Travis Chappell and producer Eric take a skeptical—and surprisingly nuanced—look at NFTs, Gary Vaynerchuk's continued belief in digital assets, and the difference between a failed trend and an emerging technology that may still have lasting value. They break down why most NFTs were always likely to become worthless, why a small number could potentially become valuable digital collectibles, and how entrepreneurs can recognize opportunities in overlooked markets without confusing speculation with sound investing. On this episode we talk about: Why Gary V remains one of the most influential entrepreneurial voices and why Travis and Eric disagree with some of his NFT takes The difference between an NFT's underlying utility and simply using an NFT as a digital membership or collectible Why the vast majority of NFT projects were—and likely will remain—worthless The comparison between the NFT boom and the dot-com bubble, including how a few winners can emerge from a massive speculative market Why alternative investments like NFTs, collectibles, and altcoins should be treated as speculative “play money” rather than dependable investments Top 3 Takeaways Not every failed trend means the underlying technology is worthless. Just as most dot-com companies failed while Amazon, Google, and eBay survived, a small number of NFT projects could ultimately become valuable digital assets. Separate utility from speculation. An NFT can provide access to experiences, communities, events, or other benefits, but that doesn't automatically make the asset itself a good investment. Know what you're risking. If you're investing in NFTs, collectibles, altcoins, or other alternative assets, treat the money as speculative capital—not money you need for your financial future. Notable Quotes "Ninety-nine percent of these are going to zero." "This is called fucking math." "The question is, are you good enough to pick the winners? That's hard."

Josiah Osgood — Multi-Part, Part Two: Professor Josiah Osgood continues with 58 BCE, when the rivals took separate paths; Cato went to Cyprus to model honest administration while Caesar sought military glory in Gaul. The death of Julia, Caesar's daughter and Pompey's wife, eventually severed the alliance between the two generals, allowing Cato to convince the Senate to appoint Pompey as sole consul to restore order. When Caesar crossed the Rubicon in 49 BCE, sparking civil war, Cato reluctantly followed Pompey's retreat. Following Pompey's defeat at Pharsalus, Cato fled to Utica, where he chose suicide over Caesar's clemency, stabbing himself and tearing open his own wounds to mar Caesar's victory. His death transformed him into a saint of the Republic, inspiring generations of poets and dissidents under the later Roman Empire. (2)

Forgiveness is not an all-or-nothing process. You can partially release by choosing to stop ruminating, and even if you don't feel entirely at peace yet, it is important to recognize that you have made meaningful progress.

A late text isn't a diagnosis and chemistry isn't destiny. Psychologist Dr. Max Butterfield is here to debunk viral dating advice with science.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1364What We Discuss with Dr. Max Butterfield:Viral relationship advice converts ambiguous behavior into confident universal rules because certainty sells. The halo effect makes attractive people believable and provocative claims spread, while real science says "maybe, sometimes, it depends," which rarely goes viral."If he wanted to, he would" ignores that motivation and desire are separate systems. People stall from fear, old wounds, or being buried — not indifference. Knowing what to do isn't the same as doing it, so give people room before writing them off.Separate the pattern from the story. A slow text reply is a pattern you can verify; "they hate me" is a story you author on top of it. Before committing to the worst version, tell yourself the most likely, least likely, and current story — most people default straight to worst-case.A red flag isn't one bad moment — it's a pattern that makes your life worse instead of better. The clearest one is inconsistency: a partner who pays out like a slot machine. What you actually want is the "boring" change machine that reliably returns four quarters.Audit every rule you hear — is it one anecdote or real data, and does it lean on always/never or honest hedges like sometimes? Then keep it simple: find someone you like, make sure they like you back, and try really hard to make it work.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
