On this episode, I cover the ABCs of professional communication, just as I teach them to my MBA students. One of the simplest ways to elevate your professional communication—whether you're writing an email, pitching a strategy, or presenting to senior leaders—is to filter your message through three words: Active, Brief, and Clear. They sound basic, almost obvious. But in practice, they create a powerful discipline that separates high-quality communicators from everyone else. Active: Own the Message Active communication is energetic, direct, and accountable. It starts with the choice to use active voice—"We analyzed the data" instead of "The data was analyzed"—but it goes beyond grammar. Being active signals leadership. It tells your audience who is responsible, what action is being taken, and why it matters. It brings confidence to your tone, clarity to your reasoning, and momentum to your message. Brief: Respect Attention Being brief isn't about cutting until your message feels hollow. It's about stripping away anything that dilutes the point. In a world full of competing priorities and overloaded inboxes, brevity is a form of respect. Shorter sentences, concrete words, clear slide titles, and focused agendas make your message easier to absorb—and easier to act on. Brevity doesn't mean simplicity of thought; it means simplicity of delivery. You're curating the signal, not broadcasting the whole noise. Clear: Make Understanding Effortless Clarity is the culmination of the first two principles. When your message is active and brief, clarity emerges naturally—but it still needs intention. Clear communication uses plain language, not jargon. It uses structure—beginning, middle, end—to guide your audience. It uses formatting and visual hierarchy to make information scannable. Above all, it ensures that your audience never wonders: What does this mean, and what should I do with it? Clarity is not optional. It's the price of admission for influencing decisions. Why ABC Matters When communication is active, brief, and clear, it's easier to trust—and harder to misunderstand. Your audience feels more confident in you. They're more likely to remember your message. And they're far more likely to act. Whether you're writing a memo, drafting a slide deck, or speaking in a meeting, the ABCs give you a repeatable way to refine your thinking and elevate your delivery. Active shows ownership. Brief shows respect. Clear shows mastery. Together, they define the core of effective business communication.

Shorter days, less sunlight, gray skies, and changes in routine can mess with your mood and energy. In the Pacific Northwest, Sara calls it the Big Dark for a reason. In this episode, she breaks down why the winter blues happen, why they hit harder when you are alcohol free, and the practical strategies that help you stay grounded instead of slipping backward. Sara shares the story of her first winter living in a camper trailer on the land while building her house. The lack of natural light, heavy rain, and isolation hit stronger than expected, and it became the first time she truly understood how intense the winter blues can feel, even deep into sobriety. She now approaches every winter with intention and has built a winter-specific sober toolkit to stay emotionally steady. Through personal experience and research, this episode teaches you how to recognize winter blues, how to distinguish them from seasonal affective disorder, and how to protect your alcohol free identity during the months when cravings or old coping mechanisms may begin whispering again. You will leave with five winter-proof strategies that help you stay energized, connected, and proud of your choices, even when the season feels heavy. What You Will Learn 1. Why the Winter Blues Happen How reduced sunlight lowers serotonin. How longer darkness disrupts circadian rhythm, leading to fatigue, fog, and increased melatonin. Why people in northern latitudes are more susceptible. How environmental factors like rain, darkness, and isolation intensify the emotional dip. 2. How Winter Impacts Your Alcohol Free Journey Lower mood plus lower energy can increase cravings and relapse risk. Lack of motivation can sabotage routines that usually protect your sobriety. Social withdrawal and loneliness can make old patterns feel nostalgic or tempting. Winter can become a unique season in your recovery, requiring specialized tools and preparation. 3. How to Know Whether It Is the Winter Blues or Seasonal Affective Disorder Winter blues tend to be mild and temporary. SAD is more persistent, more intense, and repeats each winter. Sara stresses the importance of not minimizing clinical depression and reaching out for professional support when needed. 4. Five Strategies to Protect Your Sobriety This Winter Light exposure and environment Use a light therapy lamp. Increase brightness in your indoor spaces or embrace warm lighting if it brings comfort. Explore vitamin D supplementation. Get your face outside for whatever sunlight exists that day. Routine and structure Keep consistent wake times. Resist the urge to retreat into isolation. Anchor habits that reinforce your non-drinker identity. Maintain community engagement even when motivation dips. Movement, connection, and purpose Move daily even when it is dark or rainy. Bundle up, put on the rain gear, and get outside. Plan intentional social touchpoints. Reaffirm your personal why and your identity as a non-drinker. Ask for support when things feel off Speak up early. Share your experience with a partner or community. Build a winter strategy before you are struggling. Seek professional care if symptoms feel intense or prolonged. Mindset reframing See winter as a season of reinvention rather than defeat. Lean into coziness, warmth, and slow living. Remember that you no longer use alcohol to numb through winter. Identify at least one win each day that happens because you did not drink. Key Takeaway The winter blues are real, and they are rooted in biology and environment. But with preparation and intentional practice, you can navigate this season with confidence instead of slipping into old patterns. Winter can become a powerful part of your alcohol free story, a season of inner strengthening, and a time to build the resilient version of yourself who will step boldly into spring.

Psalm 1 | Westminster Shorter Catechism 2-3 | 16 November 2025

In this special episode of Cloud Wars Live, Bob Evans speaks with Chad Wahlquist, Architect at Palantir, about the company's explosive Q3 growth and the accelerating adoption of its AI Platform (AIP). They explore how AIP serves as an operating system for the enterprise, enabling customers to achieve global optimization, faster ROI, and model flexibility. Wahlquist also talks about Palantir's open, interoperable architecture and its commitment to delivering value at speed, especially for customers in high-stakes, high-pressure environments.Operate Smarter, Not SlowerThe Big Themes:Speed to Value: Many companies still operate under the assumption that meaningful transformation requires multi‑year timelines (two to three years, sometimes more). Palantir is pushing the idea that you must deliver value in months, three to six months, rather than years. This shift is critical because when business markets move fast, and when competitive advantage erodes quickly, speed becomes a differentiator. If you wait for years, you may miss the window or be out‑paced.Interoperability and Ecosystem Integration: The platform isn't trying to lock you into a “box” you must keep your data in; it instead emphasizes plug‑in interoperability with systems you already have. Wahlquist mentions connectors, SDKs, APIs, and plug‑ins to partners like Snowflake, Databricks, SAP, NVIDIA. The concept: if you already have investment in some systems, don't throw them away; just connect them. This increases the speed to value and reduces friction.Ambition, Willingness to Operate in Crisis: Wahlquist points out they often engage with customers who are under pressure. These customers need value now, not two or three years out. Situations like supply chain disruption, plant outages, labor issues, etc., are real. This situational urgency forces companies to adopt architectures and partners that can deliver now. The takeaway: It's not enough to believe you'll transform in the future; transformation architecture must be built for today's fires.The Big Quote: “Our goal is really: how do we scale our customers and the outcomes they're delivering — not just the number of customers?"More from Chad and Palantir:Follow Chad on LinkedIn or get an overview of Palantir's Q3 in its letter to shareholders.

This week on The Freelancer's Tea Break, I'm sharing 3 ADHD-friendly time hacks that actually work (and honestly, they'll help anyone feeling frazzled right now):

BUFFALO, NY — November 13, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 10 of Aging-US on October 3, 2025, titled “The role of phenylalanine and tyrosine in longevity: a cohort and Mendelian randomization study.” In this study led by Jie V. Zhao, Yitang Sun, Junmeng Zhang, and Kaixiong Ye from the University of Hong Kong and the University of Georgia, researchers investigated whether two amino acids, phenylalanine and tyrosine, affect how long people live (lifespan). The results suggest that higher levels of tyrosine are linked to shorter life expectancy in men, pointing to potential sex-specific approaches to promoting longevity. Phenylalanine and tyrosine are amino acids involved in metabolism and brain function. Both are found in protein-rich foods and dietary supplements, but their long-term effects on aging are not well understood. Tyrosine, in particular, is a building block of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, which regulate mood and cognitive function, making it a molecule of interest in aging research. The study analyzed data from more than 270,000 individuals in the UK Biobank. Using both observational and genetic methods, the researchers examined the associations between blood levels of phenylalanine and tyrosine with overall mortality and predicted lifespan. Although both amino acids were initially linked to higher mortality risk, only tyrosine showed a consistent and potentially causal association with reduced life expectancy in men. Genetic analyses estimated that elevated tyrosine levels could shorten men's lifespan by nearly one year. No significant effect was observed in women. These findings remained consistent even after adjusting for related factors, including the role of phenylalanine. This suggests that tyrosine may independently influence aging. The researchers also observed that men tend to have higher tyrosine levels than women, which could partly explain the gender gap in lifespan. “Phenylalanine showed no association with lifespan in either men or women after controlling for tyrosine.” The exact mechanisms behind this effect are still under investigation. However, tyrosine's involvement in insulin resistance and the production of stress-related neurotransmitters may be contributing factors. Insulin resistance is associated with many age-related diseases, and hormone-related pathways influenced by tyrosine may differ between men and women, potentially explaining the sex-specific outcomes. Although tyrosine is commonly marketed as a supplement for enhancing focus and mental performance, the study raises concerns about its long-term impact on lifespan. While the researchers did not directly study tyrosine supplementation, their findings suggest that people with high tyrosine levels may benefit from dietary adjustments. Strategies such as protein restriction could help reduce tyrosine levels and support healthier aging. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and explore whether diet and lifestyle changes can safely lower tyrosine levels to promote longevity.

Send us a textAs the church year comes to a close, our Holy mother Church reminds us as its her custom about the things of the end times -  things about the final days of the world, things about the our own death and things about the Final Judgment. This 33rd Sunday of OT C is no different. The 1st and Gospel readings inform us about what will happen before and at the end of time. When some people look at the wars, conflict. grief, violence and aggression, chaos and confusion in our world today, they are tempted to conclude that the end of the world is near. Our Blessed Lord has some reassuring words for those who have these catastrophic thoughts. He says, "do not be terrified". Instead He wants us to use them as opportunities to bear witness  to Him - to stand up for our faith, to recycle these thoughts in prayer to fix our gaze on him and Him alone because He is the Way the truth and the Life.  Friends in Christ, Our Blessed Lord is speaking directly to your heart and to my heart, offering us all consolation and encouraging us to continue to bear witness to Him in the difficult times we find ourselves in this world, in the trying moments of our personal lives to the best of our abilities. And if we do this, He assures us again in his own words that "no hair on your head will perish... By your endurance you will gain your lives"Oh that today you would listen to His voice, Harden not your hearts.Support the show

Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers: A Special Episode on Trauma, Health, and Hope. The average life expectancy for American law enforcement officers is just 57 years, a stark contrast to the general population's 78 to 79 years. Behind that number lies a sobering reality: a career spent protecting others often comes at the expense of one's own health. This special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast is available for free on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and many other podcast platforms. Heart disease, chronic stress, trauma, and the relentless demands of the badge all play a role. “Many officers only live a few years into retirement,” says John Jay Wiley, host of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. “That's not just a statistic, it's a tragedy that reflects the immense pressure these men and women endure.” Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In this Special Episode, available on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Apple, Spotify, and Radio, Wiley welcomes Eric Caron, a retired U.S. Special Agent and Diplomat, to discuss the unseen toll of the job, and the urgent need to protect the mental and physical well-being of those who protect us.

The Hidden Cost of the Badge, Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers: A Special Episode on Trauma, Health, and Hope. Officers face risks that go beyond the dangers of the streets. Studies show that law enforcement professionals have: A much higher rate of heart disease, with heart attacks often striking as early as age 46, compared to 65 in the general population. Elevated risks of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, conditions tied directly to chronic stress and irregular shift work. Shorter retirements, with many officers passing away just a few years after leaving the job. “It's not just the stress of one bad day,” Wiley explains. “It's the accumulation of hundreds of critical incidents over a career, what we call death by a thousand cuts.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The Psychological Battle Caron, who spent years investigating child pornography and sex crimes, describes the haunting reality of prolonged exposure to such cases. “When you're staring into that darkness every day, it leaves a mark,” he says. “You see the worst of humanity, and it takes discipline and community to not let that darkness consume you.” Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers: A Special Episode on Trauma, Health, and Hope. According to research, trauma in law enforcement leads to alarmingly high rates of PTSD, depression, and anxiety: PTSD rates among police officers reach as high as 35%*, compared to 6.8% in the general population. Officers are far more likely to experience emotional numbing, hyperarousal, and flashbacks from traumatic events. Many suffer from compassion fatigue**, a type of emotional burnout caused by repeated exposure to tragedy and human suffering. Caron explains that repeated exposure to graphic violence and child exploitation can cause what psychologists call traumatic layering. “It's not one event, it's hundreds,” he says. “Each one leaves a scar.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The Ripple Effects The consequences of trauma ripple through every aspect of an officer's life: Emotional strain often leads to relationship issues and isolation. Negative coping mechanisms, like alcohol or substance use, are far too common. Cognitive impairment from chronic stress affects memory, judgment, and performance on duty. Physical health problems such as high blood pressure, gastrointestinal issues, and cardiovascular disease frequently follow. “Every case, every call, adds another layer,” Wiley says. “And too often, we lose great people not in the line of duty, but to the silent battles they fight afterward.” Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers: A Special Episode on Trauma, Health, and Hope.  The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Protecting Those Who Protect Us Throughout the conversation, Caron shares the methods he and his teams used to safeguard their mental health while investigating the most disturbing crimes imaginable. “We had to find ways to stay human,” he says. “Exercise, faith, humor, and having a strong support system, it all mattered.” Caron now dedicates his post-service career to helping others stay “Switched On”, the philosophy behind his bestselling book SWITCHED ON, The Heart and Mind of a Special Agent and his mindset program, Switched On Life.

In this episode of The Untrapped Podcast, Keith gets blunt about breaking plateaus in your landscaping business. Stuck doing the same $300 jobs and wondering why nothing changes? Keith shares how he raised prices, lost the wrong clients, and rebuilt around higher-ticket, white-glove packages—think bundling gutters, shrub trims, bed edging, windows, and lawn care into one profitable day. He digs into math-first pricing, route density, and incremental increases (small for existing clients, bigger for new) so your average ticket and net margin finally move. No victim mindset, no busywork trophies—just a hard "cross the Rubicon" moment: choose ownership, package value, market smarter in targeted neighborhoods, and aim for profit per day (not hours worked). If you're ready to stop playing small and start stacking real wins, this one's your wake-up call.     "When the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing — that's when you change." – Keith Kalfas   Topics Covered: The real definition of insanity in business Why raising prices feels scary (but necessary) The "higher-ticket jobs" breakthrough The power of packaged services Route density, travel time, and profit killers When staying the same becomes more painful than changing Victim mindset vs. ownership Why entertainment-driven content makes growth harder   Key Takeaways Raise Prices—Incrementally and IntentionallyBump existing clients in small steps, quote new clients higher. Confidence + consistency = better margins without a mass exodus. Chase Average Ticket, Not Hours Design your pricing around profit per day. Bigger tickets + fewer trips = cleaner math and calmer schedule. Tighten Your Route, Grow Your Wallet Route density kills dead time. Shorter drives, less fuel, more jobs done—that's real margin.   Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:  Start Getting Leads Now https://www.footbridgemedia.com/keith The Untrapped Alliance: https://www.keithkalfas.com/alliance Resources You Need To Build A Successful Business https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources

What do we want? New podcast! When do we want it? Now! This week we're talking about protests, their efficacy, and the recent laws attempting to curtail them. Plus, in this short and sweet pod we still find time to tackle peanuts, honey, and 7-Up, and monks. This episode's mistakes include: Shorter length due to weekend getaway. Citing a thread on X. Boring weirdness. Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode summaryMusic Director and saxophonist Chris Potter joins Backstage Bay Area to preview the SFJAZZ Collective's tribute to Wayne Shorter's Native Dancer. We talk about why this album matters, how the Collective reimagined its songs for today's band, Potter's personal encounter with Shorter, and what new music is on deck.What you'll hear• Why Native Dancer remains a living blueprint for jazz–Brazilian exchange• How the Collective divided up arrangements and found fresh angles on classics like “Ponta de Areia”• A rehearsal-room story that captures Shorter's mix of imagination and precision• What to expect across the three Miner Auditorium shows (setlist variety, originals, and ensemble chemistry)• Potter's upcoming projects and where the Collective heads nextGuestChris Potter — saxophonist, composer, and Music Director of the SFJAZZ Collective.Selected quotes• “The SFJAZZ Collective comes together every year to workshop new music, and this season we wanted to make a real statement with Native Dancer.”• “We each brought in arrangements. The original album is so perfectly realized that the challenge was to find our own way through it.”• “Wayne could ask you to imagine Superman flying over the mountain—and in the next breath correct a single B-flat. That balance guided us.”• “The feeling on stage is, ‘This is a band.' Mutual respect, shared history, and material we truly love.”About the music• Wayne Shorter's 1975 collaboration with Milton Nascimento braided Brazilian songcraft with jazz harmony and studio-era rhythm—music built for reinvention.• The Collective's program features the full Native Dancer songbook alongside new originals that extend its spirit.CreditsHost/Producer: Steve Roby — Backstage Bay AreaGuest: Chris PotterMusic: Excerpts as permitted by rights holdersRecording: SFJAZZ Collective sessions & interviewLinks & ticketsEvent: SFJAZZ Collective — Tribute to Wayne Shorter's Native DancerVenue: Miner Auditorium (SFJAZZ Center, San Francisco)Dates/Times:• Saturday, Nov. 1 – 7:30 p.m.• Sunday, Nov. 2 – 3:00 p.m.• Sunday, Nov. 2 – 7:00 p.m.Tickets: https://www.sfjazz.org/tickets/productions/25-26/sfjazz-collective/More info: SFJAZZ.org

From ancient curses and forbidden rituals to real-life witchcraft gone wrong, we're diving deep into the dark arts tonight. This isn't your grandma's superstition — this is Black Magic in its most sinister, shocking, and unexplained form. Join The Brohio Podcast as we summon the stories the world tried to bury.

The clocks have changed, and suddenly the world feels quieter. Evening arrives before dinner, the sky fades early, and we're reminded how much light shapes our mood. But maybe shorter days aren't about loss, maybe they're an invitation to rest, reflect, and reconnect. In today's episode, I explore the emotional shift that comes when time slows down and darkness lingers. It's my reflection on gratitude, stillness, and finding small warmths in a longer night. As the clocks change, we learn to carry light differently, not in hours, but in how we hold each other, our memories, and the quiet grace of simply being. Thank you for tuning in. With peace and love always, Amber xoxo

 Be relaxed.Most people act like puppets:    Smiling "perfectly" on cue.    "How are you?" "I'm fine!" (Lie.)    Three-second hugs.    Stiff handshakes with plastic smiles.Disgusting.Our subconscious knows—they're faking it.Now watch truly successful people:    They never force smiles or empty gestures.    They're fully present, alive in the moment.Can you learn this? Yes.How to Rewire Yourself    Breathe deeply. Feel air filling your lungs, leaving your body.    Ground yourself. Massage your palm or face slowly—focus on the sensation.    Lock your eyes on one thing (your hand, a leaf) for a full minute. No distractions.Then, when you meet others:    See them. Notice one genuine thing to appreciate.    Listen. Ask what they want—don't be a tyrant (like Trump, bulldozing people).    Hug properly. Hold for 10+ seconds. Shorter hugs don't trigger oxytocin (the "love hormone").    Hold eye contact. Breathe deeply. Connection happens effortlessly.The Silent Secret to Happiness & Success    Feel every emotion. Never suppress them—even anger or fear. Let them move through you.    Be grateful for everything. Even the struggles.    Connect with God (or your highest purpose).A grateful, present person attracts miracles.My Video: The Most Overlooked Habit of Highly Successful People https://youtu.be/UKO1RgeyqxwMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/The-Most-Overlooked-Habit-of-Highly-Successful-People.mp3

And like that, we're coming out of another "Spooky P**is Month" and back to the drudgery of season... Shorter days. Colder nights. Christmas. It's all downhill from here. SO CHERISH THESE MOMENTS! We're covering one of cinema's brightest stars and a film he wishes to have absolutely no association with WHATSOEVER! Yeah, we're covering Ti West. Of course, people will scream from the mountains, "Guys, there are other films to cover of his!" and you would be correct, but this is just kind of funny... AND GROSS! This is one of the most shameless, ickiest, nastiest looking sequels to an underwhelming horror franchise from Eli Roth and, y'know what? This rulez! Just be prepared for how gross it is, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Staying active during the winter months isn't always easy. With colder weather and shorter days, finding the motivation (and the time) to move can feel like a real challenge. In this episode, Brooke and Peyton share practical tips and simple strategies to help you stay active, even when it's dark by dinner. Whether you're battling the winter blues or just trying to stay consistent, this episode will equip you with the tools to keep moving.

Long tenure sounds like a good thing - until it starts holding your business back. Here’s what I learned when I stopped treating it as a badge of honour. In this Quick Win, I’m joined again by clinical psychologist Sabina Read to unpack the hidden downside of long staff tenure. I share how high tenure at Inventium was quietly stalling innovation, what finally shifted my thinking, and why I now see shorter tenure as a healthy sign of growth. Sabina and I discuss: The hidden shadow side of long tenure Why fresh thinking often gets ignored by legacy voices How old experiences can kill new ideas before they start Why newer team members often bring better solutions A mindset shift that helped me reframe turnover Key Quote “If it’s happening at Inventium, where we talk about innovation every day, it can happen anywhere.” Listen to the full episode with Sabina here.

Big days don't require big performances; choose your size—opt out, scale down, or re-script—to protect your energy in suicide bereavement.Journal prompt: “For my next tender date, I'll protect my energy by… (opt out / scale down / re-script) because…”What “choose your size” means (so we're clear): You get to set the size of participation to match your capacity.Opt out = skip entirely this year. Example: don't attend the gathering; plan a quiet walk + candle at home instead.Scale down = attend smaller/shorter/softer. Example: 20 minutes max, sit near an exit, sunglasses/earbuds, two people only.Re-script = change the who/when/where/ritual. Example: breakfast instead of evening, meet outdoors, write a note to them and leave early with an ally. Pair your choice with one ally, one exit signal, and one regulation (long exhale, step outside). Permission beats pressure.A Flicker (Hope) — Choice lowers dread Naming your option ahead of time softens the day. Relief is data—keep it.To Rebuild (Healing) — Pick one path Opt out: “Not this year.” Scale down: “Shorter, quieter, fewer people.” Re-script: “Different place, different time, different ritual.”Take a Step (Becoming) — Make it specific Write one sentence: “On [date] I will [opt out/scale down/re-script] by [what].” Add an ally + exit cue: “[Name] will text me at [time]; I'll leave when I squeeze their hand.”Choose-your-energy menu:Hollow (low): Hollow — Choose your path and jot it in notes. One line.Healing (medium): Healing — Set one logistics step (time/location/message) and a regulation plan.Becoming (higher): Becoming — Invite a helper/witness and send the plan today.Food for Thought Today: Honoring the day doesn't mean reenacting pain. Permission is protective: you're allowed to design something your body can survive—and even, gently, feel held inside. Capacity changes; your choices can, too.Exhale. Keep what serves you; leave the rest. I'll be here again tomorrow.

What if your relentless focus on hitting 180 steps per minute is actually making you a slower, less efficient runner?Many runners, myself included, have fallen into the trap of chasing a perfect cadence number, thinking it's the key to running faster. But what if I told you that focusing on that number is actually holding you back and that true efficiency comes from rhythm and feel, not just counting steps? In this episode, I break down why cadence is a byproduct, not a goal, and reveal three simple, science-backed drills you can use to train your body's natural rhythm, reduce injury-causing impact, and become a smoother runner—all without obsessively looking at your watch.Key TakeawaysCadence isn't a number to force, but a natural result of efficient running. Chasing a specific step count skips the most important step: learning how the right rhythm feels.The goal is to spend less time on the ground with each step. Shorter, quicker steps recycle your energy better and reduce impact on your joints.You can train your brain and body for better cadence naturally. Using hills, barefoot drills, or rhythmic music helps build this feel without overthinking.Timestamps[00:13] What You'll Learn[00:53] How I Mastered Higher Cadence[01:40] Chasing Cadence As a Number[02:14] Run Science Nerd Break: Knee Protection From High Cadence[02:53] What Actually Improves Cadence[04:28] Use This To Improve Your Cadence The Right Way[05:10] 3 Ways to Improve Feel for Cadence[05:23] #1 Practice Uphill Running Pickups[06:14] #2 Do 30 Seconds Of Barefoot/Minimal Strikes On Grass[08:07] Run Science Nerd Break #2 - Barefoot Study[08:26] #3 Run With Audio Cues[10:43] Get 18 More Tips On Increasing CadenceLinks & Learnings

My guest today is David Lynn, PhD — CEO of Unity Investment Management, a private-equity real-estate firm with nearly $1 billion AUM across 74 medical outpatient buildings nationwide. A London School of Economics PhD and MIT MBA, David cuts through macro confusion with a steady, data-driven view of where capital and demographics are really pulling the market. Driving Thesis: America's aging population and the rise of personalized medicine, longevity science, and AI diagnostics are reshaping health-care real estate. Telehealth doesn't kill in-person visits — it creates more of them. And as construction costs rise and MOB supply stays tight, low-beta sectors like medical outpatient buildings are poised to outperform high-volatility multifamily and office assets. Why it matters: We're entering a post-banquet cycle — after 15 years of ultra-cheap debt and compressed cap rates. David argues that the “easy-money era” is over, but patient investors still win through cash-flow discipline and blend-and-extend lender relationships. Medical tenants are non-discretionary and financially stable; that stability will anchor returns as rates ease and capital markets thaw. Five questions David answers: Why MOBs held their value while multifamily stumbled. How telemedicine actually drives physical visits. What AI and genomics mean for future space demand. Where we are in the cap-rate cycle (and why this may be the bottom). How tariffs, immigration, and Fed policy feed through to CRE pricing. Takeaways for sponsors & LPs: • Favor low-volatility sectors with durable cash flow. • Shorter leases can beat inflation without adding risk. • Blend and extend — don't panic-sell distress. • Watch employment and energy as deflationary signals. • AI and aging will drive demand more than interest rates. If you believe steady beats speculative, this episode maps how to navigate the new cycle with a scientist-investor's lens — one rooted in data, discipline, and durable demand. David Lynn is that rare voice who bridges macro economics and boots-on-the-ground real estate with clarity and calm. *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

The Mysterious Oregon Coast adventure is in the rearview mirror, but we always like to peek back before moving on. On this edition we marvel at the fun we had on a fairly cursed tour of some of our favorite parts of the Pacific coast!   Bike prep is key — but stuff still breaks. Even a tiny crank arm pin can end a day. Know shops and backup transport. Have Plans A–F ready. Flexibility and quick pivots kept the ride alive when mechanicals hit. Buses & rideshares save tours. Coastal transit and surprise Ubers kept us moving. Greatest hits still feel fresh. Cape Lookout, South Beach, Newport — new vibes, upgrades, and slower pacing. Weather's shifting. Got one classic foggy Yachats day, but most were sunnier/warmer — pack for both. Shorter mileage = more joy. 30–40 mi days let us linger in towns and stay energized. Hydrate & fuel early/often. Morning “camel up,” steady snacks, and Red Bulls beat last year's bonk. Hotel nights reset morale. Lincoln City, Yachats, Florence stays turned stress into mini-vacations. Logistics flexibility saves cash. Mid-trip flight/car/hotel changes avoided big losses. Ditch the perfect plan. Embracing detours and improvisation brought back the adventure and fun

Sponsored By ClickFunnels Live - Las Vegas Date: October 22nd I will be speaking and teaching this material live on stage with exclusive bonuses for attendees. Virtual seats available. Join me In this episode, Sean breaks down the single most important element of your marketing: the hook. Learn why the first seven words you write can literally determine whether your content gets ignored or generates sales. This is the foundation episode of Season 7's 16-episode roadmap to building a growth engine that pays for itself every 30 days. Key Takeaways What Is a Hook? A hook is whatever people see, read, or hear first. It's the opening line of your video, the first words in your headline, your email subject line, or the visual that pops up before you speak. Without a killer hook, nothing else in your marketing matters. The Two Types of Hooks Verbal Hooks: Labels that call out your audience Sharp questions Conditional statements ("If you're struggling with X...") Commands Bold statements Lists Mini stories Provocative statements Nonverbal Hooks: Pattern interrupt visuals Unusual props Surprising camera cuts Distinctive sounds Pro tip: Combine verbal + nonverbal for "multimodal" hooks that hit attention from multiple angles. The 70-20-10 Rule 70% - More of what's already working (your proven winners) 20% - Winner-adjacent content (variations on proven hooks) 10% - Big, crazy, new experiments The Hook Tracker System Create a simple spreadsheet with: Hook name Actual hook copy Outcome/results Link to where you used it Always test at least 2 hooks per campaign - never just pick one and hope. Resources Mentioned Free Tools (Available in Show Notes): Hook Tracker Template - Simple spreadsheet to track what's working AI Hook Generator Prompt - Generates 55+ world-class hooks in under 2 minutes across 11 categories including: Pattern break hooks Open loop hooks Identity ping hooks Status and safety hooks Reward preview hooks Proof hooks Pricing hooks Fast cash/lightning hooks Closing hooks Branding hooks The 30-Day Payback Engine Connection Strong hooks = Better attention = Cheaper clicks = Better show-up rates = Faster upsells The Goal: Make your gross profit in the first 30 days cover your customer acquisition costs, so your growth pays for itself. Hook Examples by Business Model SaaS Companies: "Launch fully configured in 4 hours, or we pay your first month" Course Creators: "One module in 7 days that fixes your most urgent pain—and you keep it forever" Service Providers: "Strategy session booked in 60 seconds + $197 credit if we can't help" Weekly Hook Creation Rhythm Monday: Research - Collect 10-20 outlier hooks from your niche Tuesday: Write 50 hooks total (35 from winners, 10 winner-adjacent, 5 moonshots) Wednesday: Record 10 hook variations per content package Thursday: Edit - Pair hooks with content sections and CTAs (assembly line style) Friday: Ship across platforms and update your hook tracker Weekly: Keep top 10%, kill bottom 10%, repeat Critical Hook Rules ✅ For email subject lines: 7 words or less ✅ For social: You have 0.007 seconds to stop the scroll ✅ Clear beats clever - Every. Single. Time. ✅ Shorter is stronger - If you can cut words and keep impact, do it ✅ Split test everything - Use A/B testing (10% one hook, 10% another, winner gets 80%) Common Hook Mistakes to Avoid Vague hooks - If your audience can't self-identify instantly, it's too broad Fancy words over simple promises - Don't get cute All verbal, no visuals - Make it multimodal when possible Guessing instead of tracking - Log everything Starving the 70% - Stop reinventing weekly; repeat what works 100x more than you think This Week's Homework Write These Hooks (Manually or Using AI Tool): 3 identity hooks ("If you're a [blank]...") 3 question hooks ("What if you could [blank]?") 3 conditional hooks ("When you finally [blank]...") 3 command hooks ("Stop doing X and start...") 3 strong statements ("Here's the truth nobody's telling you...") 3 list/step hooks ("The 5 ways to...") 2 nonverbal ideas (weird prop, unusual sound, visual element) Deploy This Week: Pick your top 5 hooks Read them out loud Tighten each one (cut every unnecessary word) Add to your hook tracker Test at least 5 hooks this week DM Sean your top 3 and tell him which one you think will win What's Next Next Episode: Building Your Content Factory Learn how to take 50 hooks + 5 content sections + 3 CTAs and create 150+ content variations per week without burning out. Season 7 Roadmap Preview Lead System Series (4 episodes): Hooks that make people stop Building your content factory Branding that creates instant trust Turning customers into your marketing team Sales Series: Closing without feeling sleazy Building undeniable proof Delivery Series: Making each customer worth more Retention strategies Profit Series: Lightning offer plays Premium pricing strategies Simple margin improvements Final Episodes: Offer stacks and architecture Proof systems that scale Complete 90-day game plan Connect with Sean DM your top hooks and results at https://www.instagram.com/thinkingbigcoaching Remember: Everything you create needs a HOOK.
