From defensiveness and truth triggers to slowing down your reactions and separating someone else's mood from your responsibility, we share practical mindset shifts that create more peace at home and in your friendships.Key Topics Covered:• The connection between defensiveness and hidden truths.• Why pausing before reacting changes everything.• Separating your partner's emotions from your own sense of worth.• The role tone plays when giving and receiving feedback.• Helping kids regulate before expecting repair or apology.• Teaching children awareness of how their words impact others.• Navigating the sting of feeling like a means to an end as a parent.• Modeling reciprocal conversations and emotional awareness at home.• How past friendship wounds shape present reactions.• Real life examples of working through friendship conflict without escalation.LINKS AND RESOURCES:HERSELF AMAZON STOREFRONT: https://amzlink.to/az0BrkLl5pX9u HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastLet's connect!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

Life does not move in straight lines. Plans change. People leave. Seasons shift. Pressure arrives without warning. In Built for Disruption, we examine the reality that disruption is not something to avoid but something to prepare for. This episode unpacks a foundational truth: when pressure hits, you do not rise to the occasion. You fall back on your preparation. Adaptability is not discovered in crisis. It is built in calm seasons through daily discipline, structure, and intentional discomfort. We explore how disruption reveals what you have actually built your life on. If stability depends on comfort or outcomes, disruption will shake you. If identity is tied to a role or title, disruption will threaten you. But when identity is anchored in values and reinforced by consistent discipline, disruption becomes a refining force rather than a destructive one. This conversation also introduces practical steps for building capacity. Protecting non negotiables. Training discomfort on purpose. Separating emotion from identity. Increasing margin before it is required. Deciding who you are before pressure demands it. Leadership maturity is not measured by how well you perform when things are predictable. It is revealed by how steady you remain when everything shifts. Disruption is coming. Preparation is optional. This episode challenges you to choose discipline now so that when life demands hard things later, you are ready. Thank you for joining us on this insightful journey!

Today, Ceri talks to those of you who know exactly what they need to do but still can't quite bring themselves to do it. Not because you don't care. Not because you're incapable. But because the task feels loaded.  It might be an email you keep rewriting. A proposal you keep circling. A conversation you know you need to have. You stay busy. You prepare. You research. You tweak. And somehow the hardest thing never quite gets done. It's a common experience for so many of the artists Ceri works with. So, you only need to listen in to find out how to get the things you´re avoiding done. KEY TAKEAWAYS We tend to think prioritising is a logical skill. Decide what matters most. Do that first - In real life, especially in creative work, prioritisation is emotional. When a task carries emotional weight, the brain treats it differently. When you avoid a task, it's rarely about laziness - it's your nervous system protecting you from something that feels risky.   You don't need more discipline; you need systems that fit your brain: visible time slots, clear steps, templates, and processes to follow. The fewer decisions you have to make, the better. Separating thinking from doing and working alongside others makes emotionally heavy tasks feel doable, not overwhelming.   BEST MOMENTS “Difficulty prioritising isn't about knowing what matters. It's about regulation. Attention, emotion, and effort are linked.” “Make time visible. Short defined time blocks with a timer help counter the feeling that a task is endless. When time is visible, the brain can relax.” “Separate thinking from doing.” “Use a shared presence, working alongside someone else, even silently, helps many people stay anchored. This is often called body doubling.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events. She has sold artworks to major museums and private collectors and commissioned thousands of works across diverse media, from renowned artists such as John Akomfrah, Pipilotti Rist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Vito Acconci. Now, she wants to share her extensive knowledge with you, so you can excel and achieve your goals. **** Ceri Hand Coaching Membership: Group coaching, live art surgeries, exclusive masterclasses, portfolio reviews, weekly challenges.

Numerous demonic entities are discussed and taught in the modern deliverance movement, and one of those is the spirit spouse. Leaders who hold to this belief teach people that this demon can invade one's dreams at night and have intimate encounters with them. It is said that this can stem from soul ties of past relationships, generational bloodline curses, witchcraft, and even scrolling on social media. Is this Biblical?Join me as we examine this teaching from Abednego Lufile and Tiffany Buckner, and we consider what Scripture has to say about this teaching.

Has the fear of being trolled ever impacted how you show up online? It definitely has for me, and sometimes I feel like I can't share all the things that I want to in case I attract hate. Today on the podcast I'm chatting to Rhiannon Louden, who is a brand and wedding photographer, all about an incident where she got trolled and exactly how she handled it. A big facet of this conversation is about values, and I love that it comes back to something that has been chatted about on this podcast so many times before: the importance of your brand values. Rhiannon shares a candid story about a reel featuring a trans wedding that attracted significant hate, and how she navigated that storm while protecting her clients and standing by her beliefs. We touch on personal branding, attracting the right clients, running your business with integrity, and why "going viral" isn't always the dream we think it is.   Key Takeaways: Viral isn't always a victory: Rhiannon shares how a reel hitting 5 million views brought a wave of hate rather than just "success". It serves as a reminder that visibility without the right audience can be damaging. Values act as a filter: Being vocal about your values (e.g., trans rights) effectively repels people who don't align with you. While the trolling was difficult, it ultimately solidified her niche and signaled safety to her ideal clients. Client care comes first: When the post blew up with negative comments, Rhiannon's first priority was her couple. She communicated openly with them and gave them the option to delete the post, prioritizing their mental health over the "viral" reach. Have a crisis plan: It is helpful to think about how you would handle trolling before it happens. Having a process—like warning clients or knowing when to turn off comments—can help you stay calm in the moment. Separating your brands: We also discuss Rhiannon's decision to run two separate brands (Rhiannon Neale for weddings/families and Rhiannon Louden for branding) to ensure her messaging stays clear and relevant to each specific audience.   Episode Highlights: 02:00 – Rhiannon's journey from journalism to photography and moving to Scotland. 04:00 – The decision to split her business into two distinct brands to clarify her messaging. 06:00 – The story of the viral reel: How a post celebrating a trans wedding attracted millions of views and a storm of hate. 13:00 – Handling the fallout: How Rhiannon communicated with her clients and gave them the power to decide the post's fate. 15:00 – The aftermath: Why repelling bigots is actually a business positive, and how it has led to more aligned inquiries from the LGBTQ+ community. 19:00 – The reality of viral fame: Why we need to stop romanticising the idea of "blowing up" online.   About The Guest: Rhiannon Louden is a photographer and brand mentor based in Scotland. She runs two businesses: Rhiannon Neale, focusing on alternative, documentary-style wedding and family photography, and Rhiannon Louden, where she offers personal brand photography and mentorship for female entrepreneurs. She is passionate about diversity, inclusivity, and helping business owners show up authentically. You can find her wedding work at https://rhiannoneale.com/ and her branding work at https://www.rhiannonlouden.co.uk/   Mentioned in this episode: Rhiannon's Viral Post: The reel discussed regarding the trans wedding (though comments are turned off!).

We've been taught to avoid it — to hide it, shame it, or outwork it. But what if failure isn't the thing that destroys confidence… what if it's the thing that builds it? In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with Jane Chen, co-founder of Embrace Global and author of Like a Wave, We Break, to talk about what happens when success collapses — and why that moment might be the most honest, transformative chapter of your life. Jane shares the raw story of losing the company she poured a decade into, how her identity unraveled alongside it, and the healing journey that followed — from redefining resilience and self-worth to learning how to listen to her body, sit with discomfort, and rebuild from a place of authenticity instead of achievement. This conversation dives deep into: Why failure is a confidence builder, not a confidence killer How achievement can become a trauma response Separating your worth from your results, titles, and accolades Knowing when to keep pushing — and when it's time to stop The role of self-compassion, community, and psychological safety in leadership Why breaking isn't the end… it's often the beginning Because confidence isn't built by never falling apart. It's built by trusting yourself to rise again. This episode is a powerful reminder that failure, fear, and doubt aren't detours — they're part of the path. When we stop chasing perfection and start honoring what's real, we build the kind of confidence that actually lasts. Thank you to our sponsors! Sex is a skill. Beducated is where you learn it.

Thanks to our partners Promotive and Wicked FileWhat if you left college with an engineering degree and an MBA, only to realize your best opportunity was back home in the family auto shop?In this episode, Hunt Demarest sits down with Brad Templin of Scott's U-Save, a fourth-generation automotive professional and second-generation owner running multiple locations across the Midwest. Brad shares the real story of what it's like to return to a family business after pursuing a corporate career, work alongside your mom, and navigate the challenges of succession planning in an era when private equity is knocking on every door.Drawing on his own journey from aerospace engineering to MBA to tire tech, Brad explains why he spent his first six months working in the bays, how he and his mom built mutual respect through honest communication, and what it takes to grow a business when you're competing against both private equity buyers and the temptation of a comfortable corporate salary.This episode tackles the hard conversations every family business faces: working with parents, handling disagreements when personal relationships are on the line, deciding between private equity offers and building something on your own, and why succession planning doesn't have to mean selling to the next generation or selling out completely. Brad also shares practical advice on how to maintain family relationships when business tensions run high, and why honesty — even when uncomfortable is the foundation of making it work.What you'll learn…(03:15) How a fourth-generation automotive family built and rebuilt across 100 years(04:35) Why Brad's great-grandfather invented the hub-and-spoke model in the 1920s—the same strategy private equity uses today(08:50) The influence of education on career paths(12:00) Cultural shifts in the automotive industry(15:33) Building trust and respect in a family business(18:15) Why Brad spent six months as a tire tech before taking on leadership(24:50) Investigating family dynamics in business(28:59) Navigating growth and trust: Separating business disagreements from personal relationships(30:00) Why Brad admits he's not the 'bootstrap entrepreneur' — and why that's okay(34:15) Private equity: How Brad and his mom decided whether to sell or keep building(37:35) The real question: 'Are we still having fun?' — and why that matters more than the money(43:10) The future of the industry(48:30) Brad's advice for struggling family businessesThanks to our partner PromotiveIt's time to hire a superstar for your business; what a grind you have in front of you.

Addiction Series, Part 1: Separating fact from fiction.In this episode Joseph and Paula dig into one of the most important topics they explore on the show: addiction — what it really is, what it isn't, and why compassion matters so much. They break down common misconceptions, unpack the ongoing debate about whether addiction is a disease, and explore the many factors that contribute to it, including brain changes, genetics, trauma, environment, and social influences. Above all, the hosts emphasize that addiction is not a moral failing, but a complex human condition — and that recovery is absolutely possible.They will continue the conversation in the next episode as they look deeper into the important aspects of addiction, recovery, support, and what healing can truly look like.Do you have any questions?

Andrew Li grew up feeling like an outsider.At 12 years old, he was sent to boarding school.Far from home. Far from family. Feeling like a fish out of water.After graduation, reality hit fast. He couldn't even land entry-level hotel jobs.Not leadership roles. Basic ones.Eventually, someone gave him a chance.So he started at the bottom.Making beds. Cleaning rooms. Doing the jobs nobody talks about.No ego. Just work.Over time, small wins stacked. Confidence grew through repetition, not shortcuts.Years later, that same kid who felt out of place found himself leading one of the most iconic lifestyle brands in the world: Zouk Group.From housekeeping… to the CEO's chair.Seriously incredible.But success didn't solve everything.Imposter syndrome showed up.Pressure multiplied.The title got bigger, and so did the weight that came with it.That's when the real work began.Separating who he is from what he does.Learning to lead without ego.Mastering the inner game.Andrew's story is a reminder that success is built quietly, long before anyone is watching.It's hard to beat the person who just keeps showing up.Andrew did.I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.Guest - Andrew Li (https://www.instagram.com/andrew_m_li/)Connect with me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelxcampion/Work with me: https://www.michaelxcampion.com/

Many founders hit a ceiling not because they lack vision but because they're still the one executing everything.

In this powerful episode of the Authors On Mission podcast, hosted by Danielle Hutchinson, debut author Deonna Kay sits down to share the journey behind her novel The Measure of Enough. Drawing from her own experiences as a domestic abuse survivor, Deonna explains how fiction can provide a more authentic lens on trauma than traditional narratives that often avoid difficult truths.Her book explores themes of childhood abandonment, identity, and the central lesson of defining “enough” for oneself—freeing from the need for external validation. She also reflects on the challenges of writing in isolation for six years, the importance of community support, and the lessons she's applying to her upcoming psychological twist novel.✨ In this episode, you'll gain practical tips such as:

Motherhood can quietly shift the emotional balance in a partnership. In this conversation, we explore why resentment toward a partner is so common after having a baby and why it is not a personal failure, but a researched, predictable relationship stress point. The transition to parenthood often exposes invisible labor, unequal expectations, and emotional strain that many couples were never taught how to name, let alone fix. We also talk about practical starting points for repairing connection. From making invisible labor visible, to changing how conflict is communicated, this episode focuses on teamwork, fairness, and ongoing conversations that prevent resentment from hardening into distance. The goal is not perfection or 50-50 equality, but shared understanding and intentional partnership. What we discussed: Why resentment often grows after becoming parents The emotional and physical load many mothers carry Research showing relationship dissatisfaction in the first year postpartum How partnership dynamics affect postpartum mental health The concept of making invisible labor visible Dividing responsibilities in a way that feels agreed upon, not forced Why equality is not always 50-50, but fairness still matters Separating the partner from the problem Communicating needs without blame or accusation How suppressed resentment turns into bitterness The value of weekly relationship check-ins Addressing partners who resist conversations about workload Explaining impact instead of arguing details How shared labor improves emotional and physical intimacy Why connection is built through everyday support, not grand gestures Want more?

In this candid and wide-ranging conversation, Michael Blank reconnects with Rod Khleif, multifamily investor, educator, and entrepreneur, to unpack what's really happened in real estate over the past few years. Together, they discuss the current multifamily downturn, rising expenses, distressed assets, and why pain in the market often creates the greatest opportunities. The episode also explores alternative asset classes, operating businesses, syndication beyond apartments, and how investors can position themselves for what's coming next.Key Takeaways Multifamily is going through a real reckoning, driven by rising interest rates, expenses, and maturing debt—not a broken asset class.Separating the past from the future is critical — what happened over the last two years doesn't define the next cycle.Syndication is the transferable skill, applicable to real estate, senior housing, self-storage, and even operating businesses.Distress creates opportunity, especially with forced sales, refinancing challenges, and upcoming loan maturities.Partner selection matters more than ever — misaligned or weak partners can destroy otherwise solid deals.Diversification across asset classes and strategies can create resilience during volatile market cycles.Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)Schedule a Free Strategy Session with Michael's Team of AdvisorsExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramJoin the Nighthawk Equity Investor ClubReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsSyndicated Deal AnalyzerGet the Book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing by Michael BlankFor full episode show notes visit: https://themichaelblank.com/podcasts/session510/

Former White House Chief of Staff & Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel joins the Chuck ToddCast for a wide-ranging conversation on the forces shaping America’s political and economic future. He discusses why the 2028 election will be about what’s ahead—not what’s behind—and argues that understanding AI, energy, and the changing nature of work is now essential for anyone seeking leadership. Emanuel makes the case that education and vocational training remain the clearest pathway to the middle class, warns about declining reading proficiency, and examines what schools must do to prepare students for a rapidly evolving world. He also explores how both parties lost their way on education, why fundamentals matter, and what voters are really demanding from the system. The discussion then turns sharply to politics, power, and the health of American institutions. Emanuel weighs in on Trump-era controversies, Congress’s weakened role, and concerns about election integrity and the post-election environment. He outlines how Democrats can rebuild a winning coalition by welcoming independents and former Republicans, focusing on economic fairness, and preparing for a potential 2026 wave election. The episode closes with a global lens—covering U.S.–Israel dynamics, political polarization, wealth inequality, and whether national service could help reunite a fractured country—framing a central question: if the midterms fail to reset the trajectory, what comes next for American democracy?

In this episode, Chuck Todd reacts to the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl, then examines the political shockwaves rippling through Washington after Donald Trump’s controversial and widely condemned post about the Obamas, placing it within the broader context of Trump’s long history of racial controversies and growing unease inside his own coalition. As criticism emerges from Republican lawmakers, conservative legal voices, and even Olympic athletes, Todd explores signs that Trump’s influence may be weakening—fueled by internal party fractures, controversial foreign policy moves, and a leadership circle increasingly insulating him from reality. With a surge of congressional retirements, warning signs from special elections, and historical trends favoring the opposition party, the conversation turns to whether Republicans are heading toward a major electoral setback—and whether worsening controversies, including ongoing fallout from Epstein-related revelations, could further reshape the political landscape before November. Then, former White House Chief of Staff & Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel joins the Chuck ToddCast for a wide-ranging conversation on the forces shaping America’s political and economic future. He discusses why the 2028 election will be about what’s ahead—not what’s behind—and argues that understanding AI, energy, and the changing nature of work is now essential for anyone seeking leadership.

The episode closes with a global lens—covering U.S.–Israel dynamics, political polarization, wealth inequality, and whether national service could help reunite a fractured country—framing a central question: if the midterms fail to reset the trajectory, what comes next for American democracy? Finally, Chuck comments on the fallout from the mass layoffs at the Washington Post, hops in the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the history of the Iranian revolution and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

That voice in your head isn't noise. It's your brain trying to coach you through life. I talk to myself constantly, and science actually backs it up as a legit tool for clarity, focus, and emotional regulation. Athletes do it. High performers do it intentionally. Kids do it naturally before we tell them to stop. If you've ever been caught talking to yourself, congratulations. You were actually paying attention to the person who understands you best. The real goal isn't silencing that voice. It's making sure it's on your side. Featured Story A few weeks ago, I hit a breaking point. After 19 years of this show, I was bored and no longer walking my talk. The marketplace changed, people listen differently, and I'd outgrown the pure motivation thing but kept forcing it. One day, I just broke. Said screw it. You heard it show up on a Monday when I asked for feedback on my theme song and blew everything up. Nothing faked, nothing planned. Just me going all in or not at all. Within a week, I settled into what I think is the most authentic work I've ever done. And you're only seeing about 20% of what I'm capable of. Important Points Your inner voice isn't random chatter. It's emotional regulation, problem-solving, and your brain coaching you forward. When you hear your own voice, something in you knows you exist. It's grounding, awareness, proof you're really here. Self-criticism becomes self-sabotage fast. Make sure that voice in your head is on your side, not working against you. Memorable Quotes "I'm not telling you how to vote or see the world. Personal growth doesn't work when someone hands you a worldview." "The goal isn't to silence the voice in your head. The goal is making sure it's on your side and helping you move." "Talking to yourself doesn't mean you're crazy. It means you're meeting with the one person who actually gets you." Scott's Three-Step Approach Notice whether your inner voice is coaching you forward or criticizing you backwards. Pay attention to it right now. Interrupt the negative pattern when it starts. Reframe it, redirect it, and move yourself in a helpful direction. Be kind to that voice because you're spending your life together. Make it a conversation worth having every day.

In this episode, Kim sits down with eating disorder specialist Sarah Burney to unpack what's really going on beneath "food noise," body dissatisfaction, and chronic struggles with eating. This conversation moves beyond surface-level advice and into the deeper emotional, neurological, and relational drivers of disordered eating. They explore why food is rarely the actual problem, how shame quietly fuels the cycle, and why changing your body never resolves the underlying distress. Sarah also clarifies common misconceptions around body dysmorphia versus negative body image, explains when professional support is warranted, and offers a grounded framework for helping both yourself and loved ones without reinforcing shame. This episode is for anyone who feels consumed by food thoughts, stuck in body-based self-worth, or confused about where healing actually begins.

In recent years, headlines warning about microplastics in fish, water, and even the human body have triggered widespread anxiety. While fear-based narratives grab attention, they also keep the nervous system in a chronic stress state—driving inflammation, impaired decision-making, and accelerated biological aging. The question is no longer just environmental, but deeply personal: what happens when alarming headlines age us faster than reality? For those committed to healthy longevity, constant environmental alarmism can quietly undermine well-being. Chronic stress is a known driver of inflammation and epigenetic dysregulation. When fear replaces evidence, people make choices that are not only unnecessary—but often harmful to both human health and the environment.Chris DeArmitt, PhD, is an internationally recognized materials scientist and founder of the Plastics Research Council. After reviewing more than 6,000 peer-reviewed studies, he challenges widely accepted myths about plastics, microplastics, ocean pollution, and toxicity.

A lot of the crybabies cry that I'm a Calvinist, because I believe in total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace and perseverance of the saints.

If you struggle with health anxiety or body hyper-focus, you know how quickly a sensation can turn into fear.A tight muscle, a flutter, a strange feeling and suddenly your mind is scanning, analyzing, and reacting as if something is wrong. This guided meditation is designed to interrupt that cycle. Rather than trying to calm yourself through reassurance or distraction, this practice helps you do something more effective: learn to notice physical sensations without reacting to them. Using principles from nervous system regulation, interoceptive exposure, and cognitive defusion, this meditation teaches your body and brain a new association, that sensations can exist without meaning danger. In this meditation, you'll practice: Observing physical sensations without labeling them as threats Separating sensations from anxious thoughts Reducing body hyper-monitoring Allowing discomfort without resistance Teaching your nervous system safety through experience, not reassurance This is not a relaxation only meditation.It's a skill-building practice meant to retrain your response to bodily sensations over time. Listen when you feel stuck in your body, hyper-aware of sensations, or caught in the fear → reaction loop.The goal isn't to make sensations disappear, it's to change how you respond to them.

In this episode, Stacey Morgan and Rhee Gold kick off the new year by tackling a topic every dance studio owner and teacher knows too well: procrastination. As studios return to full swing and workloads ramp up, Stacey and Rhee explore why we put important tasks off — especially the big ones that feel overwhelming or uncertain. They unpack how pressure can sometimes spark creativity, but also how constant delay leads to unnecessary stress. Together, they share practical tools to help studio owners move forward with confidence, including: Using a brain dump to clear mental clutter Separating personal and business tasks Prioritising what truly matters Breaking large projects into manageable action steps Creating better file systems and organisation habits Rewarding progress to build momentum They also discuss how leadership styles, preparation habits, and different working personalities impact productivity — and why perfectionism, self-doubt, and decision fatigue often sit at the heart of procrastination. Whether you’re avoiding your timetable, recital order, marketing plan, or newsletter, this episode offers encouragement and realistic strategies to help you stop putting things off and start moving forward.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Rich Bish Era, I am sharing a very embodied around of wisdom for me after 13 years of a LOT of experience in these areas. They are rarely taught but essential (and inevitable) for long-term growth: failure, rejection, and a clear, unwavering vision.Drawing inspiration from a recent industry panel I attended and my own business experience, this conversation dives into why many people are taught how to succeed - but not how to fail - and how this gap often leads to hesitation, self-doubt, and stalled momentum.Throughout the episode, I cover:Why failure is a necessary part of mastery and growthThe importance of practicing progress rather than rehearsing perfectionHow emotional assumptions can distort rejectionWhy follow-up and persistence are leadership skillsThe role of belief and long-term vision in overcoming obstaclesThis episode is for anyone building a business, career, or personal vision who wants to develop resilience, clarity, and forward momentum. Tune in now!Episode Highlights: 01:00 – Why we're harder on ourselves than we would be on others 02:30 – Why success is taught, but failure is not 03:27 – Practicing vs rehearsing: how growth actually happens 08:00 – Separating facts from assumptions in rejection 12:30 – Emotional attachment and its impact on decision-making 16:00 – The importance of belief and long-term vision 20:00 – Why following up is not rejection 23:48 – The cost of delaying commitment 24:30 – Why your vision matters more than external opinions 27:00 – Support, education, and next steps

Welcome to Overtime with the Sports Docs. On each of these mini episodes, Catherine and I chat about a new technique or treatment option in the field of sports medicine. We'll give you our quick take on the most recent data and how this data will impact our practice.Today we're tackling a topic that's coming up more and more in clinic, locker rooms, and social media—injectable peptide therapy. Specifically, we're going to walk through a recent AJSM narrative review by Mayfield and colleagues that serves as a primer for orthopaedic and sports medicine physicians.This is a great paper because it separates biologic plausibility from clinical reality. Patients are asking about BPC-157, TB-500, growth hormone–releasing peptides — often convinced these are regenerative breakthroughs — while the evidence base is still extremely limited. So, let's get started!Links:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41476424/www.cloganmd.com https://orthopedicnj.com/physicians/ashley-bassett

Ever feel like you're drowning in information but starving for clarity? That's the signal-to-noise problem, and it's killing your progress. I spent 20 years in radio learning how to cut through static, and now I'm watching successful people get buried under digital noise, endless priorities, and other people's agendas. The solution isn't working harder or consuming more content. It's ruthlessly protecting what matters and filtering everything else out. Today, I'm sharing the same framework I use with my clients to separate what moves you forward from what keeps you stuck. Featured Story About a month ago, I hit a wall with this podcast format. I was pre-producing episodes five days a week, sitting down to write dedicated motivational content, and it had become noise. TikTok and everything else was drowning out standard everyday motivation, and I wasn't going to be a noise guy. So I made a decision: get rid of everything I didn't like and figure out what I do like. For 10 days, I tried stuff, killed what didn't work, and kept experimenting. What you're hearing now is the evolution. I'm bringing you the conversations I have all day, every day, and serving you better by getting clear on signal and cutting the noise. Important Points Noise isn't the problem—your inability to filter for signal is. Pull back, refocus, and focus on what truly matters. Steve Jobs cut dozens of Apple products down to four. That ruthless focus exemplifies signal amplification perfectly. The strongest your goal clarity is, the more you'll dedicate yourself in that direction and ignore everyone else. Memorable Quotes "Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do." - Steve Jobs on ruthless focus and signal thinking. "Clarity of vision divided by cognitive distraction—my guess is you're 80% distracted and I used to be that way." "If there's too much noise and you're crazy, don't shut down. Set a goal and let it guide you through the chaos." Scott's Three-Step Approach Get brutally clear on three goals maximum—noise equals distractions and other people's priorities you're letting in. Calculate your signal-to-noise ratio by dividing clarity of vision by cognitive distraction to see where you stand. Filter every decision through one question: is this signal or noise relative to your core values and your goals? Chapters 0:02 - Why I'm fired up about signal to noise (and complaints) 2:31 - The origin story of signal versus noise in our modern world 4:40 - Dr. Benjamin Hardy and filtering for what actually matters 6:00 - Steve Jobs cut Apple down to four products and won 9:13 - How to separate signal from noise in your life 11:06 - My own podcast evolution as a signal-to-noise case study 13:22 - The signal-to-noise formula and decision filters Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify Email: support@motivationtomove.com Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast Instagram: https://instagram.com/heyscottsmith Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove Facebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

Who's built to go the distance, which clubs are being overrated, and who could surprise Europe this season?Next, the guys react to Anthony Gordon's recent comments throwing shade at the Premier League.

In this episode of The Spiritual Investor Podcast, I explore how "money blocks" are often just places where we attach meaning to energy and emotion. I share a simple practice for separating story from sensation, becoming the observer, and cultivating certainty as a clean, non-lack frequency. In this episode, you'll hear about: Allowing as the doorway to more money and happiness Separating story from emotion in the body Certainty and money neutrality as nothingness Why waiting for evidence repels abundance Momentum that's calm, grounded, and powerful The 2026 invitation: no split energy, full openness When certainty is clean, it's already done — and you become a clearer channel for what you want.   I hope you enjoy.

Why This Episode Matters:This episode is a deep, grounded reminder that longevity in music doesn't come from chasing trends or algorithms. It comes from doing the work, living life, and letting experience shape the sound. Recorded in person at Nothing_Neue's Brooklyn studio, the conversation is reflective, practical, and quietly powerful.Who is Nothing_Neue:Nothing_Neue is a Brooklyn-based producer and artist whose work sits at the intersection of broken beat, soul, hip-hop, and experimental rhythm. Alongside his own artistic output, he works within the music tech world, giving him a rare dual perspective on creativity, industry pressure, and identity.What We Dive Into:* Why living life is essential to making meaningful music* The danger of chasing “radio friendly” or algorithm-approved sounds* Separating your artistic identity from your day job* Morning practice, discipline, and removing creative pressure* Letting unfinished ideas have value instead of forcing outcomes* Why support has to be active, not passive* Choosing an unconventional path and accepting unconventional resultsThree Key Takeaways:* You can't skip life and expect great art: Music gets better when it's informed by lived experience, not constant output.* Unconventional paths come with unconventional timelines: If you choose authenticity, you have to accept results that don't mirror anyone else's.* Practice removes pressure: When music has a guaranteed place in your day, everything else becomes bonus time.Before You Go:If you've been forcing productivity or measuring your work against someone else's success, take a step back. Build your walls, rooms, and houses before worrying about the final home. Progress isn't always loud.Chapters:0:00 – In-studio intro from Brooklyn0:57 – D'Angelo, life experience, and making music too close to the work2:46 – Why living life improves creativity4:04 – Gym vs bike analogy for creative process4:46 – Printing demos and listening away from the studio6:45 – Distance, objectivity, and breaking critical habits9:28 – Substances, creativity, and emotional avoidance11:42 – Pain, avoidance, and emotional honesty13:48 – Family, mortality, and confronting old wounds16:55 – Reprioritizing time, discipline, and energy19:57 – Discovering The Big Leap and the upper-limit problem24:38 – Self-imposed ceilings and early musical validation28:46 – Playlist Retreat, imposter syndrome, and belonging32:54 – Music as a communal experience36:12 – Letting ego step aside for collaboration40:41 – Translating inspiration into technique45:24 – How Nothing Neue practices instruments48:54 – Learning taste, preference, and musical language52:02 – Weed, reading, and rethinking time55:18 – Walls, Rooms, Houses, Homes creative framework58:53 – Morning practice and removing pressure1:03:18 – Weekday vs weekend creative routines1:05:24 – Recent releases and upcoming remixes1:06:27 – Favorite hardware and inspirations1:07:41 – Artists that changed his thinking1:07:57 – Best free tools and YouTube as education1:12:55 – Learning fundamentals vs chasing shortcuts1:17:44 – Rapid-fire questions1:18:33 – Loneliness in the music industry1:20:06 – Underrated “product” for creatives1:21:26 – Advice ignored and advice worth ignoring1:23:24 – Authenticity over chasing radio success1:24:40 – Undoing algorithms and passive consumption1:27:21 – Active support, community, and closing thoughts1:29:02 – Final recap and ProducerHead outroList of References from the Interview:Songs / Artists* D'Angelo* Lyric JonesBooks* Making Records by Phil RamoneHardware / Tools* SP-404* Alpha Juno* SeratoConnect with Nothing_Neue:* YouTube: @NothingNeue* Instagram: @nothing_neue* Spotify: Nothing_Neue* Apple Music: Nothing_NeueConnect with Toru:* Website: torubeat.com* Instagram: @torubeat* YouTube: @torubeat* Spotify: Toru* Apple Music: ToruCredits:This episode was co-produced, engineered and edited by Matthew Diaz.
