It's been awhile since we've gotten back to our roots on this podcast by reviewing some red light therapy research. By happenstance, both studies are concerning the oral cavity. The first article looks at photobiomodulation's effect on dentin hypersensitivity (one big reason why I wish I had RLT back when I was a kid!). The second study looks at various wavelengths, amongst red and NIR light, to see their impact on penetrating the tooth and, ultimately, having an effect on the dental pulp. Before we talk about the research in today's episode, I do review the newest, updated version of the BioBlue Capsules. While there are no changes relative to the recipe of those supplements, there has been an improvement with how the supplement is produced that drastically alters the color of the capsules and likely improves its delivery to the body.Lastly, I wanted to cover an amazing testimonial that we received about our BioBlue Leuco products and how it completely abolished a customer's IBS symptoms. The interesting part is that they were initially using the supplement in an effort to mitigate and reverse eyesight issues. In the end, they were pleasantly surprised and pleased with the life-changing results they received ​when their chronic IBS disappeared. While there isn't much research on MB or leucoMB on gut health, it does makes sense that this person saw positive results, as we do have plenty of mitochondrion living in our gut. Mitochondria did evolve from bacteria after all! ​​ If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

In this enlightening episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee delves into the mindset differences that significantly affect business success. Inspired by a friend's journey into franchise ownership, Baylor explores how different attitudes and levels of experience shape outcomes in similar business environments. This episode emphasizes that while businesses might operate under identical circumstances, it's the perception and action that differentiate success from stagnation. Baylor discusses the importance of experience and its impact on business performance, highlighting how those with passion and a background in their field tend to thrive. He explains that experience, whether personal or learned from others, is crucial for making informed decisions. The narrative is enriched with anecdotes from successful franchise owners, emphasizing the need for passion and customer-centric approaches. Baylor urges listeners to adopt a mindset of abundance, sharing knowledge freely rather than hoarding it, as part of a practice that aligns with the law of reciprocity. Key Takeaways: Real success in business or any venture requires an adaptable mindset, emphasizing opportunity over adversity. Experience, whether gained directly or sought through mentors and resources, is integral to making effective business decisions. Sharing knowledge freely can lead to long-term success, supporting the principle of reciprocity. Passion and dedication to providing excellent customer service contribute significantly to business success. Approaching business challenges with a prepared, informed perspective can minimize unnecessary mistakes. Notable Quotes: "You can be cut from the same cloth and still make different garments." "You either A, have to have experience, which is great, or B, hire it." "There are people out there that are sharing information willingly every day." "Be one of those people that's a giver...when you're somebody that has a heart to give and has a heart to share, it will come back to you." "If you're a giver, you'll never go out of style."

Get ready for an exciting upcoming episode of Broadway Drumming 101! I'll be talking with the legendary timpanist Jonathan Haas about his groundbreaking work with the NYU Broadway Percussion Seminar. Jonathan shares how the program started, its impact on over 400 students worldwide, and how it gave young musicians a real taste of Broadway—playing with top percussionists, sitting in active pits, learning about unions at Local 802, and getting advice from icons like contractor John Miller.We'll also dive into how a simple lunchroom conversation sparked the creation of the NYU Broadway Orchestra Program. You won't want to miss these incredible behind-the-scenes stories about Broadway music education and what it takes to succeed.Subscribe now to Broadway Drumming 101 on your favorite platform and turn on notifications so you'll be the first to know when this episode drops!Virtuoso timpanist Jonathan Haas has raised the status of the timpani to that of a solo instrument throughout his unique career that has spanned more than twenty years. From classical concertos to jazz and rock & roll, from symphonic masterpieces to the most experimental compositions of living composers, Haas has championed, commissioned, unearthed and celebrated music for his instrument, becoming, as Ovation magazine hailed him, "The Paganini of the timpani."His concerts on the world's most prestigious musical stages and his ground-breaking recordings have delighted critics and listeners on both sides of the ocean. The New York Times wrote, "Wherever one finds a percussion instrument waiting to be rubbed, shook, struck or strummed, [Haas] is probably nearby, ready to fulfill his duties with consummate expertise... he is a masterful young percussionist."Most recently, Haas has garnered widespread praise and attention for his performances of Philip Glass' Concerto Fantasy for Two Timpanists and Orchestra, a piece conceived by Haas and completed because of his quest to spotlight the timpani. The Concerto Fantasy features not only two timpanists, but also 14 timpani, all placed downstage in front of the orchestra. In 2000, Haas performed the world premiere of the piece with the American Symphony, and he has subsequently performed it at Carnegie Hall and in Phoenix, New Jersey, Baltimore, Pasadena, Long Beach (California), St. Louis and Mexico City. Haas also performed the European premiere with the BBC Symphony in London, the world premiere of a chamber orchestra version with the Iris Chamber Orchestra in Memphis, the Czechoslovakian premiere with the Prague Symphony Orchestra at the International Music Prague Spring Festival, the Norwegian premiere with the Bergen Philharmonic, and he will perform the Australian premiere with the Sydney Symphony and the Turkish premiere with the Istanbul Philharmonic.Haas' successful efforts to expand the timpani repertoire have led him to commission and premiere more than 25 works by composers in addition to Philip Glass such as Stephen Albert, Marius Constant, Irwin Bazelon, Eric Ewazen, Thomas Hamilton, Robert Hall Lewis, Jean Piche, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Andrew Thomas, and many others.Haas built the world's largest timpani and debuted it in 2003 at the Aspen Music Festival. This unprecendented, incredible instrument -- nearly 6' wide and nearly 4' tall – beats the world's second-largest timpani — a 48-incher used by Amsterdam's Concertgebouw Orchestra — by almost half.Haas' recordings include the trail-blazing 18th Century Concertos for Timpani and Orchestra and Johnny H. and the Prisoners of Swing, both on Sunset Records. The latter was named for his jazz group and features innovative renderings of jazz compositions featuring "hot timpani" in front of a full jazz ensemble. His rediscovery of Duke Ellington's brilliant composition for jazz timpani, "Tympaturbably Blue," is included on this recording, as are other jazz standards played on a set of ten kettledrums.Demonstrating a remarkable versatility as a musician, Haas has performed and recorded with Emerson, Lake and Palmer, played on the Grammy Award-winning recording Zappa's Universe, recorded with Aerosmith, Michael Bolton, Black Sabbath, and explored heavy metal with his rock group Clozshave.The rarest of modern virtuosi, Haas embarked on his career as a solo timpanist by performing the only solo timpani recital ever presented at Carnegie Recital Hall in 1980. As an orchestral soloist, he made his debut with the New York Chamber Orchestra under Maxim Shostakovich and his European solo debut with the Bournemouth Sinfonietta. He made his French debut performing Andrez Panufnick's Concerto for Percussion, Timpani and Orchestra with the Orchestra de la Garde Republicaine. He was the soloist in the Druschetsky Concerto for Eight Timpani, Oboe and Orchestra with the Aspen Chamber Orchestra. He has also performed as a solo timpanist for the Distinguished Artists Recital Series at New York's 92nd Street ‘Y' and as a guest artist with the Lincoln Center Chamber Society, the Chamber Music at the ‘Y' Series, and the Newport Chamber Music Festival. He has championed new music by presenting adventuresome programming such as The Music of Frank Zappa, showcasing the music of Edgar Varese and Frank Zappa, under the auspices of Lincoln Center's Great Performers Series.Haas is the principal timpanist of the New York Chamber Orchestra, the Aspen Chamber Orchestra and EOS Ensemble, principal percussionist of the American Symphony Orchestra, and a member of the American Composers Orchestra. He performs with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra, New York Pops, and New Jersey Symphony and has performed and recorded with the New York Philharmonic, the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.A graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, Haas received his Master's Degree from the Juilliard School as a student of Saul Goodman. An inspiring teacher, he has been the director of the Peabody Conservatory Percussion Studio for twenty years and a faculty artist of the Aspen Music School, and he conducts the percussion ensembles at both schools. He has presented master classes throughout the United States and internationally at the Toho Gauken, Hanoi Conservatory, Paris Conservatory, and the Graz Percussion School. Sharing his enthusiasm for music with young people, he has presented over two hundred concert-demonstrations with his "Drumfire" program, under the auspices of the Lincoln Center Institute, the New York Chamber Symphony's Sidney Wolff Children's Concert Series, and the Aspen Festival Young Person's Concert Series.As active an entrepreneur as he is an artist, Haas heads Sunset Records, Kettles and Company, and Gemini Music Productions which contracts musicians for Lincoln Center, New York Pops, and many other organizations. He also works closely with percussion industry manufacturers Pearl/Adams, Promark and Zildjian, among others.Clayton Craddock founded Broadway Drumming 101, an in-depth online platform offering specialized mentorship and a carefully curated collection of resources tailored for aspiring and professional musicians.Clayton's Broadway and Off-Broadway credits include tick, tick…BOOM!, Altar Boyz, Memphis The Musical, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, Ain't Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations, Cats: The Jellicle Ball, and The Hippest Trip: The Soul Train Musical.

Read OnlineJesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits. He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick—no food, no sack, no money in their belts. Mark 6:7–8Why would Jesus instruct the Twelve to go forth to preach with authority but to take nothing with them on the journey? Most people who set out on a journey prepare ahead and make sure to pack what they need. Jesus' instruction was not so much a lesson in relying upon others for basic needs as it was a lesson on reliance upon divine providence for their ministry.The material world is good in and of itself. All creation is good. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with having possessions and using them for our good and for the good of those who have been entrusted to our care. But there are times when God wants us to rely more upon Him than upon ourselves. The story above is one of those situations.By instructing the Twelve to go forth on their mission without bringing the basic necessities of life, Jesus was helping them to trust not only in His providence for those basic needs but also to trust that He would provide for them spiritually in their mission of preaching, teaching and healing. They were given great spiritual authority and responsibility and, for that reason, needed to rely upon the providence of God to a far greater extent than others. Thus, Jesus exhorts them to trust Him regarding their basic needs so that they will also be disposed to trust Him on this new spiritual mission.The same is true in our lives. When God entrusts us with a mission to share the Gospel with another, He will often do so in a way that requires great trust on our part. He will send us forth “empty-handed,” so to speak, so that we will learn to rely upon His gentle guidance. Sharing the Gospel with another is an incredible privilege, and we must realize that we will be successful only if we rely wholeheartedly upon the providence of God.Reflect, today, upon those to whom you sense God wants you to reach out to with the Gospel. How do you do this? The answer is quite simple. You do so only by relying upon the providence of God. Step out in faith, listen to His guiding voice every step of the way, and know that His providence is the only way that the Gospel message will be effectively shared.My trustworthy Lord, I accept Your call to go forth and to share Your love and mercy with others. Help me to always rely upon You and Your providence for my mission in life. Use me as You will and help me to trust in Your guiding hand for the upbuilding of Your glorious Kingdom on earth. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” — Acts 1:8 Here Jesus tells his followers that his purpose in sending the Holy Spirit is to empower them to be his witnesses. They are to bring the good news of his coming kingdom “to the ends of the earth.” Jesus' witnesses testify to what they have seen, learned, and experienced, describing how the Lord has worked in their life and in this world. In the book of Acts, as we read about the spread of the good news, we observe Jesus' followers giving testimony about how they have experienced God working—through healings, answers to prayer, transformed hearts, and changed lives. As Jesus' followers, we grow in Christ by the work of the Spirit in our lives, and we become “good news” people. The message of God's work in our lives and the Bible's message about God's grace in Christ become powerful aids in our witness to others. People are drawn to stories about personal experience. Sharing our stories can break down barriers and build bridges to help others know the Lord. In what ways are you experiencing God's work in your life, and how will you share that with others? Ask God's Spirit to reveal how he is working in you, and to help you see what he is calling you to do. We all need the Spirit to work powerfully in us as his witnesses. Spirit of God, work in us to shape us into the image of Christ. Guide us to share with others how you are working in our lives. In Jesus, Amen.

This week, I get an opportunity to sit down and talk with someone who's own journey closely parallel's my own, coming from a musical background, being now, immersed in the training community. Cam Perry is the bass guitarist for the band Attack Attack, and has become an avid shooter, training and growing his own capability. Sharing a lot of common experiences in our background, we were able to talk about the similarities we've each been able to find in our individual practice and development musically, and making connections to our growth as shooters. Cam shared some stories on his life experience, that led to his decision to not only own firearms but to ultimately pursue the skillset and capabilities to protect himself, and those around him from the evil in the world. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and I think those of you familiar with the band and its music, may really get a kick out of our conversation. I'm looking forward to connecting again in the near future, and hopefully, even being able to attend a training even with Cam.Visit our sponsors!Our Patreon - www.patreon.com/prepared_mindset_podCustom Night Vision - www.customnightvision.comAmerican Defense Manufacturing - www.admmfg.comOrion Training Group - www.oriontraininggroup.comOne Hundred Concepts - www.onehundredconcepts.com

Why do many women struggle to assert their leadership and set boundaries effectively in personal and professional environments? This challenge often stems from societal expectations and ingrained biases that prioritize selflessness over self-care. By fostering self-awareness, embracing neuroplasticity, and learning to communicate boundaries confidently, one gears up for a transformative shift in mindset that empowers women to lead authentically and achieve personal and professional fulfillment. Mindy Vail has more than two decades of experience in leadership development, change management, education, and public speaking. Working with emerging leaders to veteran executives, her focus is cultivating a growth mindset and fostering resilience. Her new book, The Mind Shift Effect: Where Change Management Is Redefined and Leadership Is Defined (April 16, 2024), provides a wellspring of inspiration for leading meaningful organizational change.  In this episode, Mindy Vail shares about the importance of self-awareness and empathy in leadership, emphasizing the need to recognize and address personal biases that can hinder effective leadership. She highlights the significance of setting boundaries to prioritize well-being and the challenges women face in doing so. Additionally, she underscores the role of repetition and neuroplasticity in developing new habits and behaviors for personal growth and leadership development.   What you will learn from this episode: Learn to challenge these leadership myths that are getting in the way of developing your highest potential as a leader. Delve into practical tools and strategies for leadership development and personal growth.  Gain significant insights on the importance of setting boundaries, overcoming biases, and fostering a growth mindset, providing valuable guidance for women aiming to advance in their careers.   "If we want to learn a new language, if we want to master a musical instrument, it's that repeated practice and reinforcement that will help to solidify those new patterns in our minds and our behaviors." - Mindy Vail   Valuable Resources: Unlock Your Leadership Potential, Embrace Change, and Transform Your Organization with this book resource: The MindShift Effect: Where Change Management is Redefined and Leadership is Refined   Topics Covered: 02:00 - Sharing her career transition from education to the corporate world [of franchise] 05:54 - What education and franchise have in common 07:28 - Her motivation in writing her book, 'The MindShift Effect' and what is it all about 11:08 - The significance of acknowledging that others may see the world differently than you and encouraging for an open dialogue 13:17 - Shattering leadership myths 14:53 - Mind shift as change in both mindset and behavior 16:24 - How repetition helps solidify new patterns in our minds and behaviors 17:28 - Harnessing neuroplasticity to rewire our brains to effect change 19:56 - Reinforcing the idea that progress requires action, not just passive reading 21:36 - Understanding and addressing both conscious and unconscious biases is for effective leadership 24:06 - Q: How can I as a woman effectively set boundaries to prioritize my wellbeing, my mental health, and my career? A: When you can identify what is truly important to you, what your true core values are, you then can start identifying what your limits should be.   Key Takeaways: "How we become leaders is assuming that everyone's on board with us. And that is the worst thing we can do." - Mindy Vail "When we are able to just pause and take a step back and say, share with me your experience. Share with me your fear about this change or share with me what you're most concerned about in your career progression. That then opens the door to conversation that we just don't have enough." - Mindy Vail "We don't need all the answers all the time. And sometimes it's better to say, I don't have the answer. I want to hear from you. I want to7 work collaboratively with this team, and we can come to an answer together." - Mindy Vail "When we start becoming more self-aware of how our behaviors impact those around us then we start not only to become more authentic, but we create a more positive and empowering environment for those around us because we are admitting that we have flaws." - Mindy Vail   Ways to Connect with Mindy Vail: Website: https://www.themindshifteffect.com/   Ways to Connect with Sarah E.

Prioritizing Customer Retention over Acquisition  Shep Hyken interviews Vance Morris, customer service speaker, service and marketing strategist at Deliver Service Now Institute, and former Disney Leader. He talks about nurturing loyal customers and creating successful businesses through exceptional customer experiences.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    What Disney customer experience principles can be applied to enhance customer service in other industries?  How can businesses create an emotional connection with customers?  How can businesses use unique customer experiences to stand out in a competitive market?  What role does employee interaction play in creating memorable customer experiences?  How does a business enhance customer loyalty without relying on points or discount programs?  Top Takeaways:    People remember how they feel when engaging with a brand, which means creating unique and memorable experiences can truly set a business apart from the competition.     Customers are willing to pay more for excellent service. An elevated customer experience often allows companies to charge a premium price and cultivate a loyal customer base.    Building emotional connections with customers is more powerful than relying solely on points and perks in loyalty programs. When customers can relate to and feel an emotional bond with the brand or its employees (it takes only one), it creates loyalty. Sharing personal stories that resonate with customers and supporting social causes that are important to them makes customers love doing business with a company.    The points and perks are incentives for customers to do business with a company, but they shouldn't be the only reason. If the customer experience isn't great, you will lose your customers as soon as a competitor comes up with a similar program or something better.    Retaining existing customers is significantly more cost-effective than acquiring new ones. Loyal customers who have had positive experiences are more likely to make repeat purchases, spend more over time, and recommend a brand to others.      Plus, Vance shares examples of fundamental business transformation through amazing customer experience. Tune in!  Quote:   "Customer service begins before the sale. It begins with marketing, preparation, and training. It begins with the first interaction your company has with your customers."    About:    Vance Morris helps businesses successfully apply Disney's principles to create memorable experiences. He is also a keynote speaker and the author of Systematic Magic: 7 Magic Keys to Disnify Any Business: How to Out Serve, Out Price & Out Market Your Competition in Any Economy.    Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.   Learn more about your ad choices.

It can be hard when you want to have more of a conversation, and the person you're with isn't talking. They might be naturally quiet, or their brain might be too stressed or overwhelmed to think clearly. In either case, there's a missed opportunity for sharing ideas. Having a way to invite someone else's participation in a conversation helps build trust and deepen the relationship. Sharing ideas when there's a problem also helps create more solutions. In this episode, Leadership Coach Deb Elbaum shares a communication tool involving two easy words that can be easily incorporated into a question to invite more engagement from the other person.

When we think about raising our children, we often all have ideas of what is best and what we want to do. Not always are we able to achieve those goals – for better or worse. But the early years, especially 0 to 3, are crucial in our children's neurological development and knowing what can benefit them and how we can overcome adversity in that time is something all parents should know. Returning to the show this week is Dr. Green Kirshenbaum, a neuroscientist, doula, and educator who is here to discuss her new book – The Nurture Revolution – and help families understand what's going on in that crucial developmental period (and beyond) and how families can utilize the benefit of nurture to help facilitate this development. Not just for new parents, this episode is one for anyone who is raising a child of any age and wants to know how we can best serve those little people we call our kids.
