More people than ever have a therapist, yet 1 in 3 US adults report symptoms of depression or anxiety. So what gives? Is therapy even working? I had on a top clinical therapist and she said no, it's not, but there is something we can do to feel better. Dr. Maytal Eyal is a top practicing psychologist whose writing has been featured in The Atlantic, TIME, Wired, and Psychology Today, and her insights have appeared in NPR, BBC, Vogue, Vox, The Guardian, and Cosmopolitan. In this conversation, we dive into what we can all do instead of 1:1 therapy to feel better, how to know if therapy is working for you, and we answer many of your therapy questions.

If we're doing everything to optimize and track our health, then why do so many of us feel so bad? Today I'm talking about why optimization culture is harming us, my personal experience with it, and most importantly, I'm sharing the single thing that we should be doing instead (which I have not heard be part of the discussion at all).

This Omni Talk Retail Fast Five lightning round covers a little bit of everything, from the passing of legendary Fed chairman Alan Greenspan at age 100 and the question of who deserves the title of favorite economist, to whether Chris and Jenn are Prime Day shoppers (spoiler: neither is exactly hitting refresh at midnight). They also weigh in on Jersey Mike's overtaking Chick-fil-A as Florida's favorite fast food chain and Jenn makes a strong case for the family-sized sub. Plus, in honor of the Fourth of July weekend, Chris shares his pick for favorite historical U.S. figure, and it involves one of the all-time great presidential nicknames. A fun, fast, and slightly chaotic end to another great episode of the Omni Talk Fast Five. ⏩ Tune in for the full episode here: https://youtu.be/k2JviUlR0-Q

This Omni Talk Retail Fast Five segment reacts to Target's decision to name fashion icon Isaac Mizrahi as its first-ever Creative Director at Large, a brand new role in which Mizrahi will advise on product design, mentor Target designers, and help the retailer reclaim its iconic cheap chic identity. Chris Walton and Jenn Hahn aren't exactly wowed. While they agree that creativity never hurts, both question whether a lack of design vision is actually what's holding Target back right now or whether the real issues are operational, from store execution to service to merchandising. Chris draws on his Target background to push back on the nostalgia play, invoking the legendary Missoni sellout as a reminder that you can't go back to the well and expect the same magic twice. They also wonder aloud where Mizrahi's influence will begin and end across a portfolio this broad and whether this headline is more about buzz than genuine strategic direction. ⏩ Tune in for the full episode here: https://youtu.be/k2JviUlR0-Q

This Omni Talk Retail Fast Five segment breaks down the explosive June 2025 e-grocery data from Brick Meets Click and Mercatus, which showed a 28% year-over-year surge to $9.8 billion, with delivery, pickup, and ship-to-home all posting gains of 25% or more. Chris Walton and Jenn Hahn dig into what's really driving the growth, from the rise of the free delivery era to why time-starved consumers are leaning on online grocery harder than ever. Chris makes the case that regional grocers shouldn't just benchmark against Walmart and Amazon. They should be looking to Sweden, where grocers are making e-grocery profitable despite $35-an-hour starting wages. They also discuss why Walmart is quietly gobbling up grocery market share, what hard discounters like Aldi are doing right, and why Jenn's 80%+ online grocery habit might be the canary in the coal mine for traditional supermarkets everywhere. ⏩ Tune in for the full episode here: https://youtu.be/k2JviUlR0-Q

This Omni Talk Retail Fast Five segment tackles Kroger's Q1 fiscal 2026 earnings, where the grocery giant posted $46.1 billion in total sales and announced that its e-commerce business turned a profit for the very first time, ahead of schedule. Chris Walton and Jenn Hahn give credit where it's due, but push back hard on the feel-good narrative. With identical sales missing expectations, e-commerce growth lagging the broader market surge discussed in the previous headline, and CEO Ron Ferens admitting that only two out of five stores are in very good condition, the duo asks whether Kroger's digital milestone is a genuine turning point or a shiny distraction from deeper operational challenges. They also weigh in on what a real turnaround looks like, how much runway a new CEO deserves, and why the store experience still has to be at the center of any recovery story. ⏩ Tune in for the full episode here: https://youtu.be/k2JviUlR0-Q

This Omni Talk Retail Fast Five segment covers Bed Bath & Beyond's Legendary Coupon Hunt, a 21-day nationwide sweepstakes inviting customers to dig out their old iconic blue 20% off coupons for a chance to win a $100,000 home refresh. Chris Walton and Jenn Hahn don't hold back. With only around 22 Bed Bath & Beyond branded stores still open and a grand prize that signals the brand isn't exactly betting the house on this one, the duo rates this squarely at a 99 out of 100 on the gimmick scale. They also compare it to Jeep's equally eyebrow-raising George Washington World Cup giveaway and debate whether buzz-worthy stunts like these can ever translate into real, lasting customer loyalty or whether they're just noise. ⏩ Tune in for the full episode here: https://youtu.be/k2JviUlR0-Q

This Omni Talk Retail Fast Five segment examines Ahold Delhaize's decision to appoint former Amazon Fresh executive Claire Peters as CEO of Ahold Delhaize USA and what the hire could mean for one of the largest grocery retailers in the U.S. Chris Walton and Jenn Hahn discuss why Ahold Delhaize looked beyond traditional grocery talent, what Claire Peters' experience at Amazon, Woolworths, and Tesco brings to the role, and whether an unconventional leadership hire is exactly what the company needs. They also explore the growing trend of retailers recruiting executives from outside their core industry, why fresh perspectives can spark transformation, and whether taking a chance on nontraditional talent is worth the risk. ⏩ Tune in for the full episode here: https://youtu.be/k2JviUlR0-Q

 The ADHD advice that we see on social media is often not the advice that's going to help us the most.

So today, ADHD Therapist, Jenna Free, joins me to rank ADHD advice from the internet (from superior advice to advice you should ignore). After getting diagnosed with ADHD at age 32, Jenna developed a revolutionary approach to ADHD that has helped her and thousands of women.

I tried everything to trip up this AI — wrong time zones, "can I meet this weekend," pushing for deal details — and she never cracked.   Here's why: she's built to be compliant by design. The second you start talking rates, terms, or returns, she doesn't hesitate, she doesn't pitch — she goes straight to "let's book a call." That's the whole point. Likable, helpful, and squarely inside the lines.

Coming from Florida, Nancy continues exploring the powerful theme of what has been entrusted to sons by the Father. Reflecting on conversations with Oxford participants and drawing from John 15, 1 Corinthians 3, Matthew 25, and Isaiah 54, she reveals the difference between being responsible to people and being responsible for people. Nancy challenges listeners to embrace faithful stewardship while refusing the burden of self-production, reminding us that sons are called to abide, obey, plant, and water—but only the Father can bring the increase. This episode is a call to trust His process, honor what has been entrusted to you, and allow Him to produce enlargement, fruitfulness, and multiplication according to His purposes. Thanks for Listening! Nancy McCready Ministries is committed to building cultures of personal and corporate discipleship so that believers can walk in maturity and their destiny with the Father.

Your shorts feel tighter. You feel hotter, puffier, stickier and more exposed. You catch one bad reflection or try on something you haven't worn since last summerSuddenly your brain has a complete nervy breakdown(idk why this reminds me of angus thongs and perfect snogging… but kinda that crazy)But you?You drop calories. Add cardio. Clean everything up. Get back in control.Yep… summer has a weird way of making your body feel like an emergencyBut is fat loss actually the phase your body needs right now? Or is it the thing that will be the reason behind your belly being a huge problem after 40? After 50?-----------------Find me @transformxruby on instagram and tell me what IS PLAYING OVER IN YOUR HEAD about this whole body transformation thing... where you are getting tripped up... i will do my best to help you with a free assessment :) ** just say you came from the podcast**------------------You can lose weight without ending up with the lean, strong and defined body you pictured You can become smaller without creating more shape. And you can keep trying to reveal muscle that you have never given yourself enough time, food or effective training to build.In this episode, we're talking about:• why summer can make you feel physically fuller without proving you have suddenly gained body fat• the difference between strategically choosing fat loss and emotionally reacting to discomfort• why dieting feels so reassuring when maintenance feels uncertain• why “toned” is not a number on the scale• how repeated summer shreds keep cutting your muscle-building phase short• why eating more only works when your training creates a genuine reason for your body to adapt• what effective training, progressive overload, carbohydrates and recovery have to do with the shape you want• why maintenance is not a break from progress—it is where so much of the useful work happensThis is not an anti-fat-loss episode.Some women need a fat-loss phase. Some women are completely ready for one.But if every tight pair of shorts, bad photograph or uncomfortable body day sends you straight back into restriction, that is not strategy. That is emotional relief dressed up as a plan.The body you want is not just a fat-loss outcome.You cannot keep cutting the building phase short and then wonder why there is nothing new to reveal.I was talking to a client about this yesterday, and I could hear the desperation in her voice. She'd spent three years—three years—white-knuckling her way through summers because she felt like if she wasn't "tightening up," she was losing control.We forget that we are allowed to take up space. You do not need to earn the right to exist in the summer. You don't need to shrink before you participate in your own life.I shared this episode because I'm so tired of seeing brilliant, capable women interrupt their own progress because they got scared by a photo from a barbecue. If you're feeling that urge to cut right now, listen to this first. I want you to build something that lasts, not something you're just trying to survive until September.I'm in your corner. Let's stop letting the shorts be the boss.Apply for a free consult:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqaxMDfbPYPYVui3BgSClnDXTj4BWjRvPkbBHuK5CP7SQsIw/viewform?usp=sf_linkDirect link to DM me on IG:https://ig.me/m/transformxruby And if this episode hit home, follow 100% real with ruby, leave a five-star rating and share it with the woman who thinks she needs another summer shred.

About Ivan Van NormanIvan Van Norman is a true powerhouse of indie tabletop publishing and media innovation, bringing over 15 years of deep industry expertise to the table. Our paths cross all the way back to the very first year Gen Con introduced Entrepreneur's Alley, where our tiny 10x10 booths were literally shoved into the back corner of the convention hall, facing a wall right next to the food court. While I was out there hawking the first print run of Ascension, Ivan was launching Hunters Entertainment. Since then, Ivan has carved out an incredible track record, serving as an executive producer and host at Geek & Sundry during the wild dawn of the web-streaming boom, helping lay the early foundational blocks for massive cultural phenomena like Critical Role, and co-owning Hunters Entertainment. He's the publisher behind brilliant, boundary-pushing projects like the silent, text-messaging RPG Alice Is Missing. In this episode, we discuss the brutal realities of transitioning from a broke creator to a successful studio owner, how shifting mediums completely transform the mechanics of storytelling, and why your graveyard of discarded ideas is secretly your greatest design asset.Ah-ha! Justin's Takeaways* Everybody Prepares You for Failure, Nobody Prepares You for Success: When you're broke and just starting out, you are completely free to take massive risks because you have absolutely nothing to lose. However, the moment an indie project hits it big, the landscape completely flips. Ivan shares a wild reality check about running his first hit Kickstarter as a sole proprietor and suddenly getting hit with a massive personal tax bill he didn't see coming. Success brings structural obligations to payroll, to investors, and to an audience that wants you to repeat your tricks.* The Medium is the Mechanic: If you want your creative stories to break through the modern cultural noise, you have to design explicitly for the technology where your audience actually lives. Felicia Day and Geek & Sundry did it by leveraging the wild west of early YouTube and Twitch to unlock long-form TTRPG streaming. Alice Is Missing did it by turning a standard smartphone group text into an intensely emotional narrative engine. During our chat, Ivan's insights actually inspired me start work on a brand-new design concept right at the table: how to build an ultra-short-form video RPG engineered entirely for Shorts, Reels, and Twitch.* Less Money Equals More Radical Execution: Starting out broke right out of college gives you a massive, counterintuitive edge, because without a cash cushion, you are forced into a level of radical execution you just can't fake. Ivan and I launched right in a brutal recession, building display tables out of inventory boxes and dragging ammo cans down the hot streets of Indianapolis. That said, the real secret to surviving over the long haul as a serial entrepreneur is a beautiful touch of amnesia. We are naturally wired to avoid pain, and if you perfectly remembered the bone-deep exhaustion and near-failures of a launch, you'd never take a big risk again. You need that selective memory loss to trick yourself into thinking "this next launch will be smooth" just to find the sheer audacity to stand at the starting line again. It acts as a psychological shock absorber, wiping away the baggage of past failures so you can always approach a blank sheet of paper with total confidence. This is a public episode.

 Women have been told how we have to show up at work, in our relationships, in our families, in society at large, forever. And it turns out it's costing us way more than we thought. It's making us sick. My guest today, Sara Hirsh Bordo, is a 15-time award-winning documentary filmmaker and somebody who was hit with melanoma, breast tumors, Hashimoto's, and Epstein-Barr all at once. Instead of just treating it, she investigated it. She funded her own research of 1,000 women, the first-ever study on the relationship between empowerment and autoimmune conditions, and what she found was absolutely groundbreaking. Her study was endorsed by a former US surgeon general, and it's an absolute paradigm shift in how we think about autoimmune conditions. Sarah has since completely healed, and we're going to talk about exactly what she did in this episode.

Coming from Houston, Texas between international and domestic assignments, Nancy continues building on the themes of resoluteness, stewardship, and sonship. Drawing from the story of Nehemiah, she explores the powerful contrast between being entrusted by the Father and the rage that assignment provokes in darkness. Nancy reveals that the enemy's greatest strategy is not destruction but separation—pulling sons away from what the Father has entrusted to them through distraction, offense, criticism, comparison, or endless reactions. This episode is a call to remain steadfast in your portion of the wall, to value what the Father has placed in your hands, and to continue building regardless of opposition. The Father is forming trustworthy sons who remain faithful to their assignment and refuse to be separated from Him. Thanks for Listening! Nancy McCready Ministries is committed to building cultures of personal and corporate discipleship so that believers can walk in maturity and their destiny with the Father.

We break down community building, smart video strategy, and the business decisions that come with rapid channel growth. • building parasocial connection with on-camera presence and bloopers • responding to comments to deepen creator-viewer trust • using Discord and weekly live streams to create real community • why Shorts can attract the wrong audience for long-form videos • leaning into TV viewers with cinematic production choices • making longer videos without sacrificing upload cadence • using end screens, cards, and scripting to drive binge watching • finding topics through research papers, citations, and SEO • avoiding the trap of becoming a single-topic channel • setting boundaries, blocking fast, and not feeding haters • monetising with AdSense and selective sponsorship integrations • planning the leap to full time with savings and diversified platforms If you're interested in checking out K Passionate I'll have links in the description and in the show notes Again if you're new here hit that subscribe button 

I'm all about people being able to do whatever they want with their bodies and their faces, and I think that the hot girl era is coming to an end. I think that we're entering our ugly girl era, and there's some really convincing science as to why this is about to happen. Today, we get into the 3 factors that led us to this tipping point, what we're going to consider beautiful next as a society, and what you can do with all of this so you can feel as good as possible in your face, your skin, and your body.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson walks through a step-by-step system for creating Instagram Reels using Claude — from ideation all the way through editing and scheduling. The workflow is built around two tools working together: Claude Cowork for research and editing tasks, and browser-based Claude for scripting. By the end, the goal is a repeatable content production system, not just a one-time process. Brock covers each phase of the workflow in detail: using Claude Cowork to monitor a saved Instagram folder and pipe links into a Poppy AI board for ideation, scripting with Claude, filming, editing with Claude Cowork and Remotion, and finally adding captions and scheduling the post. Whether you're a solo creator or a business owner looking to systematize your content, this episode breaks down exactly how to set it up. Watch On YouTube 

When I first heard about Flightcast on the Podbiz show, I thought, "I have to have Rox Codes on my show." I had Rox do a Flightcast demo for members of the School of Podcasting. Rox has worked for Mr. Beast, Microsoft, Facebook and many more.In this episode of the School of Podcasting, I sit down with Rox Codes, co-creator of Flight Cast, the video-first hosting platform built in partnership with Steven Bartlett from Diary of a CEO.If you've been thinking about getting more serious with video podcasting, YouTube growth, or centralizing your stats from multiple platforms, this one is for you.This content may contain affiliate links, meaning I earn a small commission if you purchase through these links at no additional cost to you.

If you have a minute or two, it's less than five questions and works great on your phone or computer. Share Your ThoughtsWhat We Talk About in This EpisodeIn this conversation, we cover:What Flight Cast actually is (and who it's for)Why it's a video-first hosting platformHow “one upload, one dashboard” pushes your show to YouTube, Spotify, Apple, RSS, and audio platformsHow you can keep it simple or go crazy with customizationSimple upload, powerful customizationUpload one episode and:Send video to YouTube, Spotify, Apple, RSSSend audio everywhere elseSchedule different release times per platform (e.g., 6 AM audio, 8 AM YouTube)Use different titles, descriptions, and even different edits per platformUpload separate versions of the file (say “subscribe” in one, “follow” in another)Use AI to:Generate titles, descriptions, and chapters in your own styleAuto-format chapters correctly for each platformAll your stats in one placeHow Flight Cast pulls:YouTube viewsSpotify streamsRSS downloadsAnd rolls them up into a single “plays” metricAdditional analytics you get:Day-by-day performanceNew vs returning followersCross-platform uniquesBreakdown by platform, country, state, cityA built-in “giant spreadsheet” you don't have to build yourselfAudience overlap (who listens to episode A and episode B)Using the built-in AI chat to answer questions like:“Rank all my episodes on YouTube in the last 6 months by views in the first 24 hours.”“What's my 100-day average per episode?”Ads, programmatic, and retention dataHow Flight Cast handles:Geo-targetingProgrammatic adsDynamic ad slotsWhy retention graphs matter more than a single download numberHow to look at:Drop-off moments (what caused the skip?)Chapter jumps (what are people skipping to?)Rox's “favorite stat” and why views still matter most in his worldClips, test channels, and experimentationLets you “always be testing” in the backgroundHow to ramp up clips:Start with 1 clip/daySlowly increase to 2, 3, then 4 maxWhy this kind of ongoing experimentation is like treating your show as a recipe, not a statueMoving from audio to video (without losing your mind)Rox's core idea:Video isn't a file format, it's an algorithmOn YouTube, TikTok, Reels, Shorts: publishing and discovery are the same thingThe big mindset shift:Audio podcasting = small optimization games (SEO, cross-promo, ads)YouTube = “get good” at a few big levers:ThumbnailsTitlesIdeasIntrosWhy the first 30 seconds, title, and thumbnail matter so much more than most of us want to admitTalking-head video vs fancy productionWhy talking heads are NOT bad content:Joe Rogan is talking headsDiary of a CEO is talking headsWhy audio quality is still 80% of the experience even on videoWhen 4K matters (and when it doesn't):720 → 1080 is a big jump1080 → 4K is “nice to have,” not mandatoryFlight Cast's support for full 4K, including Apple HLS video, and why they built it to “respect” creators who go the extra mileWho Flight Cast is for and pricingTarget user: serious video podcasters / “intermediate plus”Why Rox calls it a “jackhammer”—powerful, but you don't always need that much powerPricing (at the time of this conversation):Starts around $50/month for everything except clipsHigher tiers ($100–$250/month) if you want more clips and higher download limitsBasic plan includes:Up to 50,000 downloads/monthFull 4K video, Apple HLS, no bandwidth chargesAround 3 TB of storage (which almost nobody hits)Learning YouTube: resources Rox recommendsApril Lynn Alter (YouTube channel)Patty Galloway (YouTube channel)Creator Hooks by Jake Thomas (newsletter)A dose of reality about YouTube and videoWe talk frankly about:People who spend days or even weeks perfecting a thumbnailThe sheer amount of time it can take to get good at YouTubeMy big point:It's okay if you don't have that timeJust understand what you're up against so you don't get discouragedMy biggest fear:People add video to an already full plateBurn out on videoThen quit podcasting entirelyI want you to set realistic expectationsBonus: For audio-only podcasters who still want better statsPodAnalyst.com – in beta with their pro plan free for nowTracks:Listening completion at 25%, 50%, 75%, etc.How long people are actually listeningTo me, that's the real “is my show any good?” metric:If people are only listening to 25% of an episode, that's a signalYou can track up to 10 keywords, share stats with team members, and export data while they're in beta.My TakeawaysHere's what I want you to remember from this episode:If you go into video, YouTube is an algorithm game, not just a file format.You don't need cinematic production; you do need:Strong audioA compelling titleA curiosity-driven thumbnailA sharp first 30 secondsTools like FlightCast can:Save you time by distributing everywhere from one uploadHelp you understand your audience by putting all your stats in one placeYou don't have to “go full YouTuber” to benefit from thinking like one.And again, if you're already overwhelmed with audio, please don't feel like you “have to” add video. I'd rather you keep podcasting than burn out chasing an unrealistic video workload.Links MentionedI'll have links to everything we...
