A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  15 years ago, I remember being excited to find Ian Fleming's explanation of how to write a thriller. I saved the text of that article from the Internet directly into Evernote. As I look back, I think that is probably my favourite piece of text that I've saved in my notes over the years. This morning I did a little experiment. I asked Gemini what Ian Fleming‘s advice is for writing a thriller. Within seconds, Gemini gave me not only the original text but also a summary and bullet points of the main points.  Does this mean that many of the things we have traditionally saved in our digital notes today are no longer needed? I'm not so sure. It's this and many similar uses of our digital note-taking applications that may no longer be necessary And that nicely brings me on to this week's topic, and that means it's time for me to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Ricardo. Ricardo asks, Could you discuss more about note-taking in your podcast, as I have difficulties regarding how to collect and store what's important? Hi Ricardo. Thank you for your question.  When digital note-taking apps began appearing on our mobile phones around 2009, they were a revelation.  Prior to this innovation, we carried around notebooks and collected our thoughts, meeting notes and plans in them.  Yet, given our human frailties, most of these notebooks were lost, and even if they were not, it was difficult to find the right notebook with the right notes.  Some people were good at storing these. Many journalists and scientists were excellent at keeping these records organised. As were many artists.  And we are very lucky that they did because many years later, those notebooks are still available to us. You can see Charles Darwin's and Isaac Newton's notebooks today. Many of which are kept at the Athenaeum Club in London, and others are in museums around the world.  It was important in the days before the Internet to keep these notebooks safe. They contained original thoughts, scientific processes and information that, as in Charles Darwin's and Isaac Newton's case, would later form part of a massive scientific breakthrough.  Darwin's journey on HMS Beagle was a defining moment in scientific history. It provided the raw data and observations that would eventually lead to his theory of evolution by natural selection.  That was published some twenty years after his journey in his book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.  During Darwin's five-year journey around the world, he filled 15 field notebooks with observations and sketches—these were roughly the same size as the iconic Field Notes pocket notebooks you can buy today.  Additionally, he kept several Geological Specimen Notebooks. These were slightly larger than his field notes notebooks. He used these primarily to catalogue the fossils and rocks he collected Darwin also kept a large journal during his travels, which he used to record data and incidents.  These were all original thoughts and observations.  Today, all that information is freely available on the internet and, of course, in books.  What's more, with AI tools such as Gemini and ChatGPT, finding this information today is easy. I, like many people today, rarely use internet searches for information. I simply ask Gemini.  This means there's no point in saving this information in my digital notes. All my searches are saved within the Gemini app, as they are in ChatGPT and Claude.  But your original thoughts, ideas and project notes are unique. It's these you want to keep in your digital notes.  Much like Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton wrote down their thoughts and observations, your thoughts, observations and ideas should be collected and stored.  When Darwin travelled on the Beagle, he was 22 years old. When he published The Origin of Species, he was 45.  And perhaps, like Darwin, not all your ideas today will have an immediate practical purpose. But if you don't keep them, they never will. This is why it's important to keep them where you can find them later.  And that's where our digital tools today are so much better than the paper notebooks we kept. We can find anything, any time, from any digital device we have on hand.  I remember reading Leonardo Da Vinci's biography, and he often travelled to other parts of Italy. If he needed to reference a note he had made—and he made copious notes—and he did not have the right notebook with him on his travels, it would have taken him days to retrieve the information.  We don't have that problem today.  So, when it comes to collecting, be ruthless in what you keep.  I have a notebook in my notes app called “Suppliers”. This is where I store the names of the companies I regularly buy things from.  For example, I get my clothing from several preferred retailers. I buy my woollen jumpers (sweaters) from Cordings of Piccadilly. In the note I have for Cordings, are my sizes and the website address.  This makes it easy for me to find what I am looking for and order. I use Apple's Password app to store my login details, so once I have found what I want, I can order it very quickly.  Amazon makes this even easier with a “Buy It Again” section, so if I am running low on Yorkshire Tea, I go to Amazon, click Buy It Again, and within a few seconds, I see Yorkshire Tea and can order straight away.  Ten years ago, I kept all that information in my notes. Today, I don't bother as it's faster to go directly to Amazon.  Another use I have for my digital notes is to keep all my client meeting notes. Each week, I will have around fifteen to twenty calls with clients, and I keep notes for each call as I write feedback, which I send to the client after the call.  These are unique notes, and each one will be different, so using the Darwin/Newton principle—keeping thoughts, ideas and observations in your notes—they will be kept in my notes in a notebook called “clients”. What's great about this is I have over eight years' worth of client notes in Evernote, which feed ideas for future content as they're directly relatable to real experiences and difficulties.  Another useful note to have in your notes is something called an “Anchor Note”. This is a note where you keep critical information you may need at any particular time.  For example, I keep all the subscriber links to my various websites there, which can be quickly copied and pasted whenever needed.  I also have the Korean Immigration office website there, since it's not easy to find, and I only need it every 3 or 4 years.  Depending on how security-conscious you are, you can also keep your Social Security and driving license numbers there, too.  How you organise your notes depends on you and how your brain works. However, the more complex your organisational system, the slower you will be at finding what you need.  Now this is where computers come into their own. Whether you use Apple, Google or Microsoft, all these companies have built incredible search functionality into the core of their systems.  This means as long as you give your note a title that means something to you, you will be able to find it in five or ten years' time.  I remember once my wife asked me for a password to a Korean website I had not used in ten years or more. I couldn't remember it, and I didn't have the password stored in my old password manager, 1Password.  As a long shot, I typed the name of the website into Evernote—the note-taking app I've been using for almost fifteen years—and within a second, the website with my login details was on my screen.  If I'd tried to find that information by going through my notebooks and tags, I would never have found it. I let Evernote handle the hard work, and it did so superbly.  However, that said, there is something about having some basic structure to your notes. I use a structure I call GAPRA. GAPRA stands for Goals, Areas of Focus, Projects, Resources and Archive. It's loosely based on Tiago Forte's PARA method.  I find having separate places for my goals, areas of focus and projects makes it easier for me to navigate things when I am creating a note.  My goals section is for tracking data. For instance, if I were losing weight, I would record my weight each week there.  My areas of focus notebook is where I keep my definitions of my areas and what they mean to me, and it gives me a single place to review these every six months.  My project notebook is where I keep all my notes for my current projects.  The biggest notebook I have, though, is my resources notebook. This is a catch-all for everything else. My supplier's notebook is there, as is information about different cities I travel to or may travel to in the future. As I look at that notebook now, Paris is the note that has the most information. (Although Osaka in Japan is getting close to it)  I also have places to visit in Korea that I keep for when my mother visits—which she does every year—so I can build a different itinerary for her each year.  The archive is for old notes. I'm not by nature a hoarder, but I do find it reassuring that anything I have created is still there and still searchable.  And that's it, Ricardo.  You don't need to keep anything that is findable on the internet or in AI; that's duplication. But what I would highly recommend you keep are your original ideas, thoughts, and meeting notes (even if they are being summarised by AI. How AI interprets what's been said is not always what was meant)  And if, like me, you prefer to take handwritten notes, you can scan them into your digital notes app so you have a quick reference even if you don't have your paper notebook with you.  I hope that helps, and thank you for your question, Ricardo. And thank you to you, too, for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.   

Creating strong passwords is a modern headache. Simple ones are easy to hack. Complex ones are hard to remember. And using the same password everywhere is just asking for trouble. This episode begins with a smarter, practical strategy for creating passwords that are both secure and memorable.

From how men and women hear sound differently, to why women tend to live longer, to how hormones influence behavior in surprisingly specific ways, these differences are deeply rooted in biology and evolution.

She holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University and is author of Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution (https://amzn.to/3SgBUlO). Rats, insects, bees, deer, spiders — the world is full of creatures we label as “pests.” But what actually makes an animal a pest? And why do humans respond to some species with fear, anger, or extermination, while others get sympathy or protection? Bethany Brookshire explains how humans often create pests through our own behavior, and what our reactions reveal about us.

True Crime Today concludes its interview series on the Charity Beallis case with former FBI special agent Robin Dreeke examining why this case resists the simple domestic violence framing many outlets have applied.Charity Beallis wrote publicly that she was a victim. She claimed she feared for her life. But the documented record shows allegations cutting in multiple directions — not just one.Randall Beallis pled guilty to misdemeanor battery. His previous wife Shawna died from a gunshot wound in 2012, ruled a suicide. But Charity had a 2013 arrest for allegedly pointing a firearm at a man. Her own father petitioned for custody of her child, alleging she was dangerous. And according to a 2021 police report, that same father allegedly told investigators Charity confessed to shooting Shawna.Randy Powell later told media he never said Charity was involved — only that "she knew who did it." That's a significant contradiction.Robin Dreeke spent 32 years in federal law enforcement. He's seen cases that looked simple on the surface but weren't. In this interview, he examines how investigators handle situations where both parties have documented allegations against them, where witness statements shift, and where the comfortable victim-perpetrator narrative may not fit the evidence.The investigation is ongoing. No arrest has been made. No cause of death has been released. We don't presume to know who is responsible. We only know that Eliana and Maverick are gone.Content on this site is based on publicly available information and reflects commentary and opinion.

Top Stories for January 10th Publish Date: January 10th PRE-ROLL: Kia Mall of Georgia From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, January 10th and Happy Birthday to Rod Stewart I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Affordability a top concern as lawmakers prepare for Georgia legislative session Srim Academy to host series of free seminars for young parents Christkindl Market drove 77% increase in downtown Lawrenceville visitors All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: EAGLE THEATRE STORY 1: Affordability a top concern as lawmakers prepare for Georgia legislative session When Georgia lawmakers head back to the Capitol next week, it’s all about affordability—or at least that’s the plan. House Speaker Jon Burns isn’t mincing words: “We’re laser-focused on making life affordable,” he said Wednesday, pointing a finger at property taxes for crushing the dream of homeownership. “For too many families, it’s slipping out of reach. We’ve got to fix that.” Meanwhile, Senate Republicans are eyeing income taxes. A committee led by Sen. Blake Tillery wants to nix the 5.19% tax for individuals earning under $50,000 (or $100,000 for couples) and eventually scrap it altogether by 2032. But affordability isn’t just about taxes. Rising medical costs? A mess. The end of federal health insurance subsidies? A looming crisis. Burns says the House will tackle health care, focusing on keeping doctors in Georgia by expanding residency programs. STORY 2: Srim Academy to host series of free seminars for young parents Srim Academy, a Montessori school in Norcross, is kicking off a series of free seminars for young parents—because, let’s face it, parenting is hard. Topics? Everything from potty training and screen time battles to fostering independence and getting kids to actually move their bodies. The first session, “Fostering Your Child’s Independence: Lemonade, Ladybugs and Learning,” happens Saturday, Jan. 31, at 10:30 a.m. at 5511 Williams Road. Expect 90 minutes of practical advice, hands-on activities (think crafts and cooking), and maybe even a few lightbulb moments. Led by Srim’s seasoned faculty and guests from Gwinnett Building Babies’ Brains, it’s all about building confidence—for kids and parents. Bonus: giveaways! Details? Visit www.srimacademy.com or call 678-808-9813. STORY 3: Christkindl Market drove 77% increase in downtown Lawrenceville visitors Lawrenceville’s first year hosting the Atlanta Christkindl Market? A total game-changer. Nearly 371,000 people visited the market during its debut season downtown—more than double the attendance from its Buckhead days, even with fewer open days. And here’s the kicker: 159,500 of those visitors wandered over to the Lawrenceville Square, boosting local restaurants and shops by 77% compared to 2024. Free parking, shuttles, and a glowing Winterlight Walk helped draw crowds, with visitors from 48 states. Downtown businesses saw sales jump 5–30%, and vendors reported 20–30% higher sales than the previous year. The collaboration between the city and Gwinnett County was key, with County Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson adding, “This event showed what’s possible when partnerships thrive.” Lawrenceville’s officially on the holiday map. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets STORY 4: 2026 Beer Chaser 5K Registration is open Whether you’re a speed demon or a beer-loving stroller, the Beer Chaser 5K is calling your name. On March 7, Suwanee Town Center Park transforms into a St. Paddy’s Day celebration with a twist—running, sipping, and plenty of green. This isn’t your average 5K. Sure, it’s a Peachtree Road Race qualifier, but it’s also a beer lover’s dream. Choose your adventure: run straight through or stop at five beer stations along the scenic Suwanee Creek Greenway. Each station features a different Georgia brewery, so your taste buds get a workout too. Not into mid-run sips? No worries. Every runner (21+) gets a full beer at the finish line. And the party doesn’t stop there—StillFire Brewing is hosting an after-party with live music, food trucks, and 25 beers on tap. Registration starts at $55 for the straight-through option or $65 if you want those beer stops. Prices go up Feb. 1, so don’t wait. Oh, and don’t forget your festive St. Paddy’s Day gear—there are prizes for best costume, best group, and best kilt. Proceeds benefit Kiwanis Charity, supporting local causes like the North Gwinnett Co-Op and Children’s Healthcare. Details? Head to SuwaneeBeerFest.com/beer-chaser-5k/. STORY 5: Lanier Islands Resort looks back at 2025, forward to an exciting 2026 Lanier Islands Resort just wrapped up a big year—its 50th anniversary—and it’s clear they’re not slowing down anytime soon. Recognized as one of Georgia’s Best Vacation Destinations, the resort is leaning into its legacy while planning some exciting upgrades for 2026. Last year was packed: a new chapel and garden for weddings, a free summer concert series, the return of Magical Nights of Lights, and even a lantern festival that drew 4,500 people. Oh, and they snagged awards from The Knot, WeddingWire, and GolfPass, among others. Looking ahead? A $3 million refresh for Legacy Lodge, a revamped golf clubhouse, and Georgia’s first lighted Par-3 course. Plus, new events like a Fall Songwriter Series. Big things are coming. We’ll be right back. Break 3: GCPL Passport STORY 6: Rep. Andrew Clyde announces 2026 Congressional Art Competition Hey, high school artists in Georgia’s Ninth District—Congressman Andrew Clyde wants *you* to show off your talent in the 2026 Congressional Art Competition. Got a creative spark? Here’s your chance to have your work displayed in the U.S. Capitol for a whole year. Submissions are due Feb. 20, and the process is simple: send a digital image of your piece first, and if you’re a finalist, drop off the physical artwork by March 13. The theme? Anything that reflects North Georgia—think landmarks, industries, or even your school. Accepted mediums include paintings, drawings, mixed media, photography, and more. Just keep it two-dimensional, under 26x26 inches framed, and under 15 pounds. Oh, and no copying or controversial content—this is about originality. Questions? Call Clyde’s Gainesville office at 470-768-6520. Let’s see what you’ve got! STORY 7: Gwinnett Chamber introduces Elevate Business series The Gwinnett Chamber is shaking things up with the launch of the Elevate Business Series (EBS)—a fresh, expanded take on their long-running Small Business Series. Starting in 2026, this revamped program is all about helping small and medium-sized businesses level up with sharper insights, practical strategies, and tools to thrive. Why the change? Simple: demand. Attendance has been climbing, industries are diversifying, and businesses are hungry for deeper, more advanced content. “Elevate reflects how far we’ve come—and where we’re going,” said Megan Lesko, the Chamber’s Senior VP of Membership. The first event? Feb. 24, featuring Media Frenzy CEO Sarah Tourville on strategic communications. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: Sugar Hill Ice Skating Rink Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

In today's episode of Made for Impact, Petia opens her heart and shares the life-changing shift that happens when we reorder our priorities — not around hustle, business, or self-development — but around God. As a former entrepreneur who once led a big team and prioritized productivity and results, everything changed when she became a follower of Christ.

I bought a watch thinking only about market value—what I paid versus what I could get back out of it. It was supposed to be a flip. Easy math. Simple plan.Then I dropped it.The crystal cracked, the repair bill came in, and suddenly I had more in the watch than it was worth. At that point, selling it didn't really make sense anymore. Once I had more invested than the market value, it stopped being inventory and started being something I needed to keep.That's when it became my favorite watch.Not because it was perfect—but because it cost me something.In this episode, I reflect on how value changes when investment enters the picture, and why the things that cost us the most often end up meaning the most. It's a story about loss, perspective, and the quiet ways God keeps investing in us—time, grace, patience, mercy—even when the world says we're not worth it on paper.Because sometimes the things we're meant to hold onto don't make the most financial sense…they just make the most sense for the soul.SponsorsThe Adcock AgencyA&D Tire

In this mini episode, Dr. Derrick Hines breaks down one of the most surprising findings in modern health research: the strongest predictor of long-term health and longevity isn't nutrition, exercise, or supplements — it's relationships.Drawing from decades-long data, this episode explores how connection, belonging, and social support directly influence inflammation, mental health, resilience, and overall well-being. It reframes health beyond individual habits and highlights why isolation quietly undermines even the best lifestyle choices.Topics Covered:-- What long-term health studies consistently reveal-- Why loneliness and isolation harm physical health-- How relationships influence inflammation and longevity-- Rethinking health beyond diet and exercise alone-- Simple ways to prioritize connection as part of health

Are you exhausted all the time? In this solo episode, Darin breaks down why so many people feel chronically exhausted despite eating clean, exercising, and "doing everything right." He explains how modern life disrupts mitochondrial function, circadian rhythm, stress signaling, and nutrient availability, and why fatigue is not a personal failure, but a biological signal. This episode offers a grounded, practical roadmap to restoring energy by realigning your environment, habits, and daily rhythms with how the body is actually designed to function.     What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why chronic fatigue is exploding—even among healthy, active people How mitochondria do far more than "make energy" The role of circadian rhythm, light exposure, and timing in energy production Why stress, overtraining, and modern lifestyles drain cellular energy How emotional suppression and unexpressed stress affect vitality The difference between forcing energy and allowing energy Simple daily practices that support mitochondrial repair How breathwork, stillness, and social connection restore resilience Why nutrition alone isn't enough without rhythm and recovery How to realign your biology with the modern world     Timecodes 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife and the intention behind this episode 00:00:32 – Sponsor: TheraSage and natural frequency-based healing 00:02:10 – Happy New Year + why this conversation matters now 00:02:37 – Are you exhausted even though you're "doing everything right"? 00:03:26 – The modern energy crisis and rising chronic fatigue 00:04:12 – Why surface-level health advice no longer works 00:04:27 – Mitochondria: more than energy factories 00:04:59 – Circadian misalignment, EMFs, and modern stressors 00:05:36 – Overtraining, stress load, and lack of recovery 00:06:00 – Fatigue as a signal, not a lack of discipline 00:06:18 – How artificial light disrupts internal clocks 00:07:25 – Discipline as alignment with natural rhythms 00:07:36 – Emotional release, primal expression, and energy recovery 00:08:47 – Why "why am I tired all the time?" is exploding online 00:09:24 – The mitochondria as environmental sensors 00:10:06 – Stress signaling, thoughts, and cellular energy flow 00:11:18 – Breathwork and slowing the nervous system 00:12:24 – Social connection and low-stress signaling 00:13:02 – Sponsor: Bite toothpaste and eliminating plastic exposure 00:15:19 – Morning sunlight and circadian priming 00:15:52 – Reducing artificial light at night 00:16:15 – Nutrients that support mitochondrial function 00:17:29 – Sleep timing, consistency, and repair 00:18:20 – Evening routines and melatonin protection 00:19:46 – Small daily steps compound into real energy 00:20:17 – Antioxidants, inflammation, and recovery 00:20:49 – Training smarter, not harder 00:21:31 – Breathwork, sauna, and recovery rituals 00:22:26 – Nutrition, protein, and polyphenols 00:24:37 – Five daily energy takeaways 00:25:24 – Energy is permitted, not forced 00:26:03 – Listening to the body and closing reflections 00:26:49 – SuperLife Patreon and community support     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.     Find More from Darin Olien: Instagram: @darinolien Podcast: SuperLife Podcast Website: superlife.com Book: Fatal Conveniences     Key Takeaway "Fatigue isn't failure.

Today's guest is Hayden Mitchell, Ph.D.  Hayden is a sports performance coach, educator, and researcher specializing in movement ecology and pedagogy, helping coaches design environments that support learning, resilience, self-actualization, and sustainable athletic performance through play and exploration. There is a great deal of conversation in sports performance around methods, including exercises, drills, systems, and models, but far less attention is given to coaching itself. Coaching methodology quietly shapes how athletes experience training, how they relate to challenge and failure, and ultimately how fully they are able to express themselves in performance. On the show today, Hayden speaks about exploring how coaching and physical education shape not just performance, but the whole human being. Hayden shares his path through sport, teaching, and doctoral work, including how life experiences changed his approach to leadership, control, and play. Together they discuss movement ecology, value orientations in coaching, such as mastery, learning process, self-actualization, social responsibility, and ecological integration, and why environment often matters as much as programming. The conversation highlights rhythm, joy, and exploration, along with practical ways coaches can use restraint, better questions, and playful constraints to help athletes own their development.

(https://www.just-fly-sports.com/podcast-home/) Timestamps 0:00 – Hayden's coaching background 6:42 – Learning through experimentation 13:55 – Movement quality versus output 21:18 – Constraints based coaching 30:07 – Strength that transfers 39:50 – Variability and resilience 48:26 – Developing youth athletes 57:41 – Decision-making under fatigue 1:06:10 – Simplifying training programs 1:14:22 – Long term coaching philosophy Actionable Takeaways 6:42 – Learning through experimentation builds better coaches and athletes. Early coaching growth often comes from trying ideas, observing outcomes, and refining approaches. Allow room for trial and error in training rather than locking into rigid systems too early. Encourage athletes to feel and explore movement solutions instead of chasing perfect reps. Reflection after sessions helps clarify what actually transferred versus what just looked good. 13:55 – Movement quality creates the foundation for sustainable performance. Chasing outputs too early can hide inefficient movement strategies. Build positions, shapes, and rhythm before emphasizing max speed or max load. Use submaximal work to groove coordination and reduce compensation patterns. Improved movement quality often raises outputs without directly training them. 21:18 – Constraints guide learning better than constant verbal correction. Design drills that naturally guide athletes toward desired solutions. Reduce cue overload by letting the task do the teaching. Constraints promote adaptability instead of dependency on coaching feedback. This approach scales well in team settings with limited coaching bandwidth. 30:07 – Strength training should support movement, not replace it. Choose lifts that reinforce postures and force directions seen in sport. Avoid chasing strength numbers that disrupt rhythm or coordination. Use strength work to enhance confidence and robustness, not fatigue accumulation. Strong athletes still need to move well under dynamic conditions. 39:50 – Variability is a key driver of resilience. Expose athletes to multiple movement patterns and speeds. Avoid over standardizing drills to the point of robotic execution. Small variations build adaptability without sacrificing intent. Resilient athletes tolerate change better during competition. 48:26 – Youth athletes need exposure, not specialization. Prioritize broad skill development over early performance metrics. Multiple sports and movement environments improve long term ceilings. Avoid labeling young athletes too early based on temporary traits. Early diversity reduces burnout and overuse issues. 57:41 – Decision-making matters when athletes are tired. Fatigue reveals movement habits and decision quality. Train cognition alongside physical outputs when appropriate. Simple competitive games expose real world decision challenges. Performance under fatigue reflects true readiness. 1:06:10 – Simple programs executed well outperform complex plans done poorly. Clarity improves athlete buy in and consistency. Fewer exercises done with intent beat bloated sessions. Complexity should serve adaptation, not ego. Great programs are easy to repeat and sustain. 1:14:22 – Long term development requires patience and perspective. Short term gains should not compromise future potential. Progress is rarely linear, especially in young athletes. Coaching success is measured in years, not weeks. Build athletes you would want to train again in five years. Quotes from Hayden “Good movement solves a lot of problems before strength ever enters the conversation.” “When you design the environment well, you do not need to talk nearly as much.” “Outputs are easy to measure, but they are not always the most important thing.” “Variability is not chaos. It is preparation.” “Athletes who only know one solution struggle when conditions change.” “Young athletes do not need more specialization, they need more experiences.” “Strength should support expression, not restrict it.” “Simple does not mean easy. It means intentional.” “Fatigue exposes habits, not flaws.” “The goal is not just better athletes, but athletes who last.” About Hayden Mitchell Hayden Mitchell, PhD is a sports performance coach, educator, and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of movement ecology, pedagogy, and human development. He has coached and taught across a wide range of settings, from youth and collegiate sport to military, adaptive populations, and general fitness, working with ages 4 to 90. Hayden holds a doctorate in Human Performance and Sport Pedagogy and focuses on how environment, values, and teaching behaviors shape learning, resilience, and performance. His work emphasizes play, rhythm, and self-actualization, helping coaches and athletes move beyond rigid systems toward practices that develop both performance capacity and the whole human being.

What if the biggest struggle your child faces isn't motivation at all, but a hidden set of brain-based skills that help them start tasks, stay organized, manage time, regulate emotions, and follow through? These are executive function skills  and for kids with ADHD, they can feel nearly impossible to access. In this episode of The Soaring Child Podcast, Dana Kay welcomes executive function expert Hannah Bookbinder, a licensed social worker and educator with almost 30 years of experience helping ADHD kids build these skills in practical, meaningful ways. Hannah explains what executive function really is, how ADHD derails it, and why even the brightest, most capable kids often feel defeated by daily routines. Together, Dana and Hannah break down simple, real-world strategies families can begin using right away,  from training time awareness, to using visual cues, to building routines that actually stick. Hannah also shares the story behind her new book and the MyToad App, a tool designed to teach time management, organization, accountability, and focus in one supportive space. If your child struggles with getting started, staying organized, remembering steps, or managing overwhelm, this conversation will leave you feeling understood, encouraged, and equipped with practical tools to help your child thrive.

Send us a textRFK's shift on U.S. dietary guidelines sparks a hard reset on low fat dogma and the war on red meat. We connect the dots between chronic disease, ultra processed foods, and a return to real, satisfying meals built on protein and natural fats.• Why flipping the food pyramid challenges low fat norms• The scale of chronic illness and obesity in the U.S.•The case for saturated fat and red meat in a balanced diet• The role of sugar and ultra processed foods in weight gain• Why older studies fell short and how industry swayed views• Practical targets for protein, fat, and real food choices• Simple swaps like butter and whole milk for better satietyNutrition just got a plot twist: the old low fat playbook is out, and real food is back in the spotlight. We dig into RFK's move to flip the food pyramid logic and explore what it means for anyone tired of chasing conflicting diet rules while feeling worse year after year. With chronic conditions rising and obesity entrenched, we ask a simple question what if the default guidance has been steering us away from the foods that keep us strong and satisfied?We break down why saturated fat and red meat deserve a fair hearing, not a blanket ban, and how shaky, industry influenced research helped sugar and ultra processed foods skate by for decades. You'll hear a frank look at study quality, confounders, and why observational headlines rarely translate into smart decisions at the dinner table. Then we get practical: how to center meals on protein, include natural fats, and use fruits and vegetables to round out a plate that actually keeps you full. From butter over margarine to whole milk instead of skim, we show why simple swaps can change your energy, cravings, and mood.By the end, you'll have a clear blueprint to cut the noise: eat real food, prioritize protein, hit your fat targets, and choose carbs that match your activity. No moralizing, no macros obsession just a balanced approach that respects how the body works and fits real life.

Inspired by a question from a follower, Valencia Shannon, this episode explores what “stranger danger” really looks like for autistic children and why traditional advice often falls short.Shannon walks you through: Why autistic kids experience safety, fear, and impulse control differentlyHow to teach safe vs. unsafe situations instead of relying on fear-based messagingReal life scenarios you can practice with your child in public, at school and onlineThe very real dangers of online gaming, social platforms and sextortionWhy supervision and monitoring are not about control — they're about protectionShannon also shares personal stories about her son Jordan, including why, at 29, safety planning and supervision are still necessary due to impulse control and lack of fear — and how meeting your child where they are is not failure, it's love.

If you have ever set a goal you truly cared about... only to watch yourself slowly drift away from it, this episode is for you. In today's episode, Dr. Stacy breaks down why most goals fail — and it has nothing to do with motivation or discipline.

If 2026 already feels busy and it's barely started, you're not imagining it. Joe Saul-Sehy and OG sit down with renowned time management expert Laura Vanderkam to tackle one of the biggest stressors Stackers face. Feeling like there's never enough time to do the things that matter, including managing money well. Laura helps break the myth that better time management means squeezing more productivity into already packed days. Instead, the conversation centers on intentional time use: how to protect space for what matters most, reduce decision fatigue, and build simple systems that make life (and money) feel lighter. If you've ever said "I don't have time to deal with this right now" about your finances, this discussion will feel uncomfortably familiar in a good way. From there, the show zooms out just enough to connect time decisions to money decisions. Joe and OG explore why financial stress often comes from neglect rather than bad choices, and how a few well-timed actions (like organizing documents, planning ahead for aging parents, or setting aside focused "money time") can prevent massive headaches later. No doom and gloom economics here, just a reminder that uncertainty is always around and preparation beats prediction every time. The episode also takes a thoughtful turn toward caregiving and elder planning, a topic many Stackers are quietly juggling while managing careers, kids, and their own goals. Laura and the team talk about how planning before a crisis saves not just money but emotional energy, one of the most overlooked resources of all. This is a conversation about doing less reacting, more choosing, and building a 2026 where your calendar and your bank account work together. What You'll Hear: • Why "being busy" isn't the same as using time well • Laura Vanderkam's practical strategies for reclaiming focus and presence • How small pockets of time ("time confetti") quietly drain energy • Simple ways to create space for money decisions without overwhelm • Why procrastinating financial tasks often costs more than bad investing • How to think ahead about caregiving without panic or perfection • What documents and conversations make future decisions easier • How to prepare for uncertainty without obsessing over headlines If you want to start 2026 feeling more in control (not just of your money but of your life), this episode offers a grounded, encouraging roadmap. No hustle culture. No financial fear tactics. Just smart conversations about using your time wisely so your money decisions get easier, not harder. Listen for the moment when "I don't have time" turns into "I'm choosing what matters."

Your circadian rhythm controls vital organ functions, including how your liver processes nutrients and filters toxins. Exposure to artificial blue light disrupts this rhythm, triggering a chain reaction that destabilizes liver health German researchers found that long-term artificial light exposure alters liver gene expression and melatonin production, contributing to the development and progression of fatty liver disease over time An earlier controlled animal study showed that constant light combined with a high-fat diet led to more weight gain, insulin resistance, and gut-derived liver inflammation than the same diet under normal lighting The circadian disruption caused by artificial light doesn't just affect the liver; it's linked to obesity, Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hormone-driven cancers, and higher rates of depression and anxiety Simple steps like dimming household lights after sunset, wearing blue-blocking glasses in the evening, and limiting screen time at night can help realign your circadian rhythm and protect your liver

In this episode, Ben Azadi explains how most people unknowingly block fat loss every night through poor bedtime habits, not food quality or calories. True fat burning and anti-aging happen during sleep when hormones are properly aligned. Ben breaks down a simple, science-backed nighttime routine that lowers insulin and cortisol, boosts melatonin and growth hormone, and activates deep fat-burning sleep. Key takeaways include: Stop eating at least 3 to 5 hours before bed to avoid insulin spikes and suppressed melatonin Late-night eating blocks fat burning and accelerates aging Cortisol must be low at night for fat loss to occur, achieved through slow nasal breathing and gratitude Darkness after sunset is essential, as artificial light suppresses melatonin and disrupts circadian rhythm Cooler bedroom temperatures (65–67°F) enhance deep sleep and overnight fat loss Alcohol, late workouts, doom scrolling, and nighttime snacking sabotage sleep and metabolism Ben also explains why calories are a distraction, not the root cause of fat loss resistance, and why focusing on hormones leads to sustainable results, especially for people over 40 or postmenopausal. The episode includes practical solutions for waking up at 2–3 a.m., how fast results typically appear, and why fixing sleep is one of the most powerful anti-aging and fat-loss strategies available.

You don't lose negotiations because you lack leverage — you lose them because you're using the wrong approach. In this masterclass episode of Negotiate Anything, we break down three simple, repeatable methods that dramatically improve your negotiating effectiveness at work, without aggression, manipulation, or burning trust. This conversation cuts through the noise to show how everyday workplace negotiations actually work — from salary conversations and promotions to project scope, timelines, and influence across teams. You'll learn how to prepare with clarity, communicate value with confidence, and recognize the subtle signals that tell you when to push, pause, or pivot. Rather than relying on charisma or confrontation, this episode focuses on practical skills you can apply immediately: reframing requests, anchoring discussions around shared value, and navigating resistance without escalating tension. These methods are designed to help you sound more credible, feel more confident, and walk away with better outcomes — consistently. If you want to negotiate more effectively without changing who you are, this episode gives you the tools to do exactly that.

Most of us walk into January with big plans and even bigger expectations. But by the time real life kicks back in - the emails, the schedules, the kids' activities - those shiny new goals start feeling a lot less manageable than they did on January 1st.   This week, we're talking about the only three things you actually need to change your life in 2026. Not 12 resolutions, not a complete life overhaul. Just three non-negotiables that will make this the year you actually follow through.   Join me on this episode as I share a different approach to creating lasting change that doesn't rely on willpower or perfect circumstances. You'll discover why the January overhaul approach sets you up to fail, and how to create habits that work even when you're tired, stressed, or overwhelmed. You'll learn specific strategies for each non-negotiable that you can implement immediately, plus a simple follow-through system that keeps you consistent all year long.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/185   Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/

As a new year begins, Stasi is joined in the studio by her husband, John, for a thoughtful conversation about the pace of life and guarding our hearts. Together they reflect on what the past year has taught them and the gentle invitation of Jesus to slow down, release false urgency, and come back—again and again—to a life deeply rooted in Him.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Proverbs 4:23 (NIV) – Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.Psalm 46:10 (NIV)  – He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'Matthew 11:29–30 (NIV) – Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Every January, we're told to start fresh by setting goals, building plans, and fixing what didn't work last year. But what if that pressure is the very thing that keeps us stuck? In this episode, I'm inviting you to try something different—something simpler, deeper, and far more sustainable. Instead of resolutions or rigid goals, what if you chose one word to guide your year? In this episode, I walk you through the practice of choosing a one-word intention—and how that single word can become a lens for your decisions, your energy, and the way you show up in both life and business. I share: Why one word is often more powerful than a long goal list How to discern your word (not the one you think you "should" choose) How I'm personally exploring the words abundance and enough this year Simple, non-overwhelming ways to actually live into your word all year long Homework Assignment After listening, take 15–20 minutes to reflect on these questions: What themes keep showing up in my life right now? What feels like it's being invited to grow or heal this year? What word feels grounding, expansive, or gently challenging -- rather than forced? Then: Write your word somewhere you'll see it often Choose one simple practice that helps you live into it (a habit, a reminder, a question, or a boundary) Let me know what your word is @mydigitalfarmer on Instagram!

In this episode of the Massive Passive Cashflow Podcast, Gary sits down with Terry Roberts, a seasoned mortgage broker with over 15 years of lending experience and a deep specialization in VA loans, investor financing, and non-traditional mortgage strategies. Terry shares his powerful journey—from homelessness, being a high school dropout, and a teenage father, to serving nine years in the U.S. Marine Corps and ultimately becoming a nationwide mortgage broker with access to 160+ lenders. His unique background in military leadership, business operations, and mortgage innovation gives him a rare perspective on how financing really works behind the scenes. Throughout the conversation, Terry breaks down why working with a mortgage broker vs. a retail bank loan officer can dramatically expand financing options for buyers and investors. He explains how veterans can strategically use VA loans to acquire duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes with little to no money down, how eligibility truly works, and how military families can build long-term wealth through real estate. We also dive deep into investor-focused loan programs most agents don't even know exist—such as asset depletion loans, rental-income-based financing, and loans that don't require tax returns, W-2s, or traditional income documentation. Terry explains how these options open doors for 1099 earners, real estate agents, retirees, developers, and foreign investors looking to invest safely in U.S. real estate. The episode wraps with a candid discussion on interest rates, Fed rate cuts, the 10-year Treasury, refinance strategies that actually make sense, and why trying to time the market often costs investors more in the long run. Whether you're a real estate agent, investor, veteran, or buyer trying to navigate today's complex lending landscape, this episode delivers clarity, strategy, and practical insights you can apply immediately.     What You Will Learn: How mortgage brokers unlock better loan options than traditional banks The real difference between a broker and a retail loan officer How veterans can use VA loans to build wealth with little to no money down Using VA loans for duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes How VA entitlement actually works (and why it's not based on property count) Investor loan options that don't require tax returns, W-2s, or pay stubs How rental-income-based loans work for investors and 1099 earners Asset depletion loans for retirees and high-net-worth investors Financing strategies for real estate agents who can't qualify traditionally Loan options for land, development, and mixed-use projects Can foreign nationals invest in U.S. real estate? (Yes—and how) Why Fed rate cuts don't directly control mortgage rates Why the 10-year U.S. Treasury matters more than Fed announcements When refinancing makes sense—even if your interest rate increases How refinancing can eliminate high-interest debt and improve cash flow Simple ways to lower monthly payments without refinancing Why relationships—not transactions—drive long-term success in real estate     Links & Resources: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TerryRobertsNMLS397987 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mortgagetipdaily LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrydroberts/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@mortgagetipdaily Website: terryroberts.com Email: troberts@emortgagecapital.com Attention Investors and Agents: Are you ready to scale your real estate business and connect with like-minded professionals?

This is part 3 of the the recording of my invited Saint Anselm Lecture, given in 2008 at Saint Anselm College. Here is the abstract of the paper: One important divine attribute Saint Anselm examines and treats is that of simplicity. His treatment brings out some surprising features of simplicity itself which escape the frameworks of the logic of created being, providing us a fuller, albeit still very partial, understanding of the true nature of that attribute. A deep problem can then arise for the created human being in the course of such speculations and investigations: How can a complex, complicated, composite created being more closely approach a perfectly simple divine being? In both our thought and in our practice, it seems that our attempts to approach God simply introduce even more complexity into things. My paper addresses that problem. The first section of the paper presents five short Anselmian lessons about the divine attribute of simplicity. The second section then frames and explores the problem. The third and final section provides an Anselmian resolution to the problem.

In manufacturing plants, the same leadership action can motivate one employee and overwhelm another. Why? It's all about brain science! In this episode, guest Falisha Karpati discusses how frontline leaders can harness brain science to build more inclusive, human-centered organizations. Falisha is a Brain-Based Inclusion Consultant located in Montreal, Canada. She holds a PhD in neuroscience and a decade of experience studying the brain. Through her signature UNITING BRAINS framework, she guides organizations through the development of inclusion-focused initiatives and provides interactive brain-based training. In this episode, Falisha breaks down how differences in how our brains are wired directly impact manufacturing leadership, communication, recognition, and team engagement on the shop floor. She covers topics like the neuroscience behind introversion and extroversion, why uncertainty creates stress in manufacturing environments, and how leaders can improve manufacturing culture by asking better questions, minimizing ambiguity, and running more inclusive meetings.  01:05 –Recognition can backfire when manufacturing communication ignores individual brain differences 02:12 – Neuroscience explains how self-awareness in leadership shapes perception, behavior, and relationships in manufacturing plants 04:54 –Manufacturing teamwork and employee engagement manufacturing improve when leaders understand natural brain diversity 9:53 – Brain science brings data—not opinions—into manufacturing management and leadership in industrial operations 11:20 – A powerful reminder that perceptions matter more than intentions in building trust in leadership and strong manufacturing relationships 13:39 – Curiosity-driven leadership starts by asking instead of assuming to close the showing up gap 15:32 – High-stimulus environments explain why leaders take shortcuts that undermine manufacturing culture and clarity on the shop floor 17:11 – Autonomy looks different for everyone, redefining supervisor development, coaching in manufacturing, and performance conversations. 19:55 – Minimizing uncertainty strengthens manufacturing safety culture, emotional intelligence, and consistent leadership behaviors 20:21 – Transparent expectations help close the expectation gap and improve accountability in manufacturing plants 22:40 – Inclusive meetings unlock manufacturing innovation by improving manufacturing communication and psychological safety 24:30 – Simple meeting practices support continuous improvement culture and better team engagement in manufacturing 28:53 – Inclusive discussions fuel operational excellence and authentic leadership across manufacturing organizations Connect with Falisha Karpati Visit her website Connect on LinkedIn and Instagram Read her newsletter Full Transcript [00:00:00]  We have some changes today. We've changed the name of the podcast since 2019. It's been mindfulness manufacturing our company name changed a few years ago to manufacturing greatness. So we're just aligning that 'cause we're gonna be here manufacturing greatness today, and we're gonna be talking about building some bridges and, and you know, how we continue to manufacture and, how we deal with changes people's moods and what's going on. And it remind me of a time when we were, had a great manufacturing line at the kickoff meeting in the morning, we recognized one of the team members showed appreciation, [00:00:30] put this person's name and picture up and gave them a little gift. they were upset with us and we're kind of like, well, hold on a minute. we did all this and this person's not very appreciative and getting to learn them a little bit more is that they didn't. They don't like that type of attention. people's brains are different. And in manufacturing it just complicates it for us 'cause we don't understand it. So fortunately I have a great guest on and friend today, Falisha Caridi. Welcome to the show. Thank you so much. [00:01:00] It's a pleasure to be here. Thanks for having me. you are an inclusive consultant. You harness brain science to build inclusive human-centered workplaces. You create space where all brains thrive. And you studied the neuroscience, having a PhD in neuroscience, which for those who don't know what it takes to get a PhD, it's a mountain. So congratulations on that. Thank you. excited to get your knowledge and expertise to talk about this on the show what did we miss Falisha when we upset that team member? how are [00:01:30] people's brains working here? a key point is that everybody's brain works a little bit differently,  Humans in general share a core brain structure. we generally have the same parts that do the same functions, but our brains also have differences. like how big certain parts are, how different parts connect to each other, and when different parts get activated. this connects with differences in behavior. so when we [00:02:00] think, behave, communicate, everything we do. Is filtered and processed through our brain. there's a, well-known quote that I love, that says You don't see the world as it is. You see the world as you are. Mm-hmm. And what that means, it's really rooted in brain science. And it means that everything you perceive, take in, think, and express. Goes through your brain. what happened [00:02:30] that day was there was a disconnect between what some team members who created that recognition process, thought this person would want and what they actually wanted,  So if we take that recognition experience, maybe it's, getting an award in front of a group And having your name called out and going on stage. if you put two people in that exact same [00:03:00] situation, their brains might react completely differently. we don't necessarily know how people are going to react, what they like, what they don't like. Unless we have those conversations and ask them. just diving into a bit more about why those differences exist, why can you put two people in the same situation and they can react completely differently? our brains are shaped by two main factors. the first is natural [00:03:30] variation in how we're born. there's a wealth of research that shows genetics are connected with many aspects of how our brain works. natural variation is great. It's what keeps us interested. Yeah. We don't wanna, you know, be communicating with people who are exactly the same as us. the natural variation is there for a reason. It's super productive and positive. the second factor is our environment. each of us is shaped from our observations and experiences over time. this includes a whole range of [00:04:00] experiences like our early childhood, our family and community environments. our experiences at school, at work, even our hobbies and interests can change our brain. there's a huge body of neuroscience research that shows brain differences related to living in different cultures. practicing different skills, traumatic experiences and much more. Basically everything you're exposed to, everything that you experience over time, especially if they're repeated or intense, experiences, can change your [00:04:30] brain. what really resonated with me is that Trevor's way is not always the best way. the way you explain like my biases, right? Like. My bias was show appreciation in front of the team. Right? And, and why would I need to check in with that person? in my early manufacturing leadership days, I missed the mark. Often, I just didn't know better. Right? Like, I just thought, you start to learn that. that's why we're hoping that if you're driving into work today, through my mistakes and Falisha's knowledge, we can save you that pain. we're gonna leave you with [00:05:00] some ideas of, what you can do today, to get in front of that. 'cause it makes sense. What you're saying is that, we just have how we grew up and, and our different, you know, the. I think of Lisa Feelman Barrett and, and the theory of constructed emotions. your personality and emotions are based on your experiences and we have different experiences  Right. they're just different. And that's what makes us unique and I like that. I was going through some of your material and I'm trying, 'cause I'm trying to, you know, like our listeners. To understand and better [00:05:30] equip ourselves so that we can, respond differently. But you had some neat research on introverts and extroverts, and I was reviewing it with Ryan, a client today, and he's kinda like, Hey, I think you skimmed over, that whole concept on introverts and extroverts. So can you unpack that for us and help us understand? Definitely. so I also wanna clarify, my background and what I'm doing now compared to what I did before. I have a background in neuroscience research, that was focused on brain plasticity and how our brains, are impacted by training. so what I [00:06:00] do now is, work with the wealth of research that's there. I don't do, neuroimaging research anymore. I used to, so I know exactly how these things work and I bring that experience now into. Applying neuroscience research in organizational context. Mm-hmm. so I summarize research, I communicate it. but the research, for example, an introversion extroversion is not something that I did myself. there's amazing researchers all around the world that have done this, so I'm more of a curator and a communicator Of the [00:06:30] research now. That's why you're on the show, right? Because we need to apply. So you're kind of like the translator for us, right? Because we're not gonna go through all this research, but we need someone like you that can say, Hey, here's the simpler version of it and here's what you can do today. So thank you for doing what you do. Yeah, my pleasure. I love it. so introverts, extroverts is one example of how. Our brain structure and how our brain works is really aligned with the behaviors that we see in the workplace and beyond. there's a spectrum of traits, of [00:07:00] introversion, extroversion. many people will fall somewhere in the middle and people can also express themselves differently. depending on different situations, different contexts might bring out, different types of behavior. so I'm just gonna generalize a little bit here, for time. And so there's research that compares people who tend to, behave more introverted ways and people that tend to be more extroverted. introverted meaning, getting energy by recharging alone, extroverted meaning, getting energy from, spending time with [00:07:30] others. And there's a really cool study that, people were in the brain scanner and while they were in the brain scanner, they were showed a series of pictures. Some of the pictures were flowers and some of the pictures were faces. So flowers is a non-social stimulus. and so, you know, we don't associate that with people, whereas the face is very social. the study found that introverts and extroverts showed different patterns of electrical activity in the brain in response to these images. So [00:08:00] in the introvert, if there was a bunch of flowers shown in a row and then a face, their brain sort of went, eh, well, it didn't really process a difference, but an extroverts, when there was flower, flower, flower face, when the brain saw the face, It got super excited. So the brain really processed a difference between the non-social and the social images. so that just shows that personality [00:08:30] traits and behaviors. And those differences we see in people are actually rooted in how the brain is processing information. we can also see structural differences. in how the brain is built, there's other research that has looked on that. And they found that, introverts tend to have bigger brains in areas responsible for behavior inhibition. Meaning stopping yourself from behaving impulsively. that is a trait commonly associated with introversion is introverts [00:09:00] tend to think before speaking, before acting. and extroverts, brain extrovert brains were bigger in areas responsible for regulating emotions. And smaller in areas related to social information processing. And the way that was interpreted is that extrovert brains can be more efficient at processing social information, maybe selecting what's important and what's not. I could feel that I've had to work on pulling out my introvert. [00:09:30] I think we all have some of both, right. But I've had to practice not everything that I say people want to hear and just that filter and pause. I'm fascinated with the technology. here we are working, manufacturing, all kinds of technology, but when I hear brain scans it's not people's opinions, It's the signals as a neuroscientist, with a PhD you can see that, right? that's just, wow. Like you talk about, one of the sayings we have is that, you bring data. not opinions to a meeting and, well, here you're bringing the data. There are scans that says, Hey, this is what people do. [00:10:00] What I just did was, for that individual, I just had, a reaction which was negative to that person. And if we don't, see that and recognize that, then we may miss that. I wanna bring back the, initial story with the recognition as well. now that we have some foundation about why our brains are different and how, our behaviors actually connected with brain differences, if we reflect back on that person getting recognized when that wasn't what they're inclined for, we can imagine what was happening in their brains. [00:10:30] It wasn't. The reward circuits and the social connection circuits. It was the pressure, stress. Everybody's watching me. So that same circumstance of being recognized in one person can activate reward and in somebody else can activate stress and anxiety. we like to say that. perceptions matter more than good intentions. Yes. Right. And I think that's what we're [00:11:00] focused on learning here. so I've got my manuscript I'm working on this week and I got, I got a hand in at the end of this week for my book, I've written a new chapter on this relationship audit. it's like an internal 360, but instead of. Fixing what's wrong? We're just moving more towards what's right, right? We wanna do more of the behavior. So I've, you know, we've got some questions we ask individuals, direct reports, managers, peers, and we just ask 'em, when do you tune into me? you know, what expectations do we have of each other? Those types of conversations. [00:11:30] And I think that this work that you are doing really helps us with ideas of. How can we be more mindful? Because what we did after that event is that before we ever gave someone an appreciation, we stopped surprising people and we just started asking them, are you okay if we mention you at the meeting this morning? getting their permission seemed to work. and what I liked was when I went over, some of your material, you had three kind of takeaways That you can do now, maybe when you're [00:12:00] having one-on-ones with people or you're just interacting with them. Absolutely. it's great to hear that you took action after, that experience and learned from it Asking people for permission to, to recognize 'em, to ask them something in public is a really great practice and not connect. With the first practice, area that I, like to share, which is asking people what they want, need or prefer. [00:12:30] especially if people are really busy and don't have time and are overwhelmed, it can be really easy to make assumptions our brain naturally does that. there's a known brain bias. called the false consensus effect. Where we tend to think that people agree with us and have the same beliefs, behaviors, knowledge as we do, that's definitely me. Everyone does it. It is a human brain bias. We all share that. especially in times [00:13:00] of busyness and stress, our brains do tend to fall back on those natural shortcuts to save time and energy. but they can end up causing some strains, some conflict, reduced productivity because we're making assumptions instead of asking. So, hold on. You gotta say that again. We're taking shortcuts and what'd you say after that? we're taking shortcuts basically to save [00:13:30] time, to save time and energy. Our brains naturally do that in many different contexts. like there's so much information coming into our brains constantly  Choosing what to filter, choosing what's important. That's a natural state. we're in that all the time. Can you imagine if your brain right now was processing. Absolutely every single thing that was present in your environment. It's impossible. We can't do that. Oh no. Hang on a minute. For the listeners. Falisha has not ran manufacturing [00:14:00] plants. I. She hasn't even spent a lot of time with them, but she just described our life that is our life. this is why it's important. This is why we need to listen to you and say, okay, so what can we do? 'cause you just described manufacturing, there's so much stimulus. it's how many parts we make the last hour. Is the machine running right now? is the quality inspection done? and then we take shortcuts. That's what we do. Thank you for describing us. [00:14:30] Brain science applies everywhere. I'm happy to hear that resonates and we can make the connection with the manufacturing processes as well. so what can we do about it? So we know, you know, from the manufacturing experiences, from the brain science that. When we're busy, we take shortcuts and tend to assume instead of asking. making that intentional space to invite sharing is really important, and that can happen in some different formats. It can happen in one-on-ones. It doesn't even [00:15:00] need to be a new one-on-one, just to ask what your work preferences are. if you're already having these kinds of conversations. We can integrate questions into that. So even asking someone a general question of, you know, what can I do? What can we as an organization do to make work more productive, fulfilling, enjoyable, whatever your objective is, to make the workplace better for you? the reason you really got me thinking about [00:15:30] this was in our relationship audit was really looking as when we have a team of say, 10 people, one of the practices to sustain relationships is having regular, one-on-ones or certain touchpoints, certain meetings. but when I hear you say about, you know, ask people what they want. Right. So just because. I say, you know what? We should have a one-on-one every two weeks. I'm the leader, but that may not be the right [00:16:00] approach. that's a great example. when we're asking people what they want, need or prefer, that encompasses so many things. It can be, how they work best, schedules, certain times of day they work best. It can be a physical space, it can be communication preferences, what motivates them. There's so many different aspects here that we can touch on, and that's a great example with, how they would like to have communication with a leader How they would like to have check-ins. some people love space, [00:16:30] love autonomy, and autonomy is great for the brain. in general, autonomy is awesome. some people love to have lots of autonomy and that can look like having a conversation once every two weeks and giving space. We'll have the chat, some general objectives, some goals for the next couple weeks, and then I will go and do my work on my own with my team. I don't need to be checked in on unless I have a question. Okay. There are other people who, that [00:17:00] feels overwhelming and the way that, that their autonomy can be expressed is by choosing to have more check-ins. Someone might want to have a quick two minute check-in every morning.  What's your objective for today? have those more smaller pieces that can feel a lot less overwhelming. It can feel like there's a clear map. It can feel like you know somebody's there and supporting them more frequently. Both approaches can be fantastic if they're [00:17:30] paired with the right people. But if there's a mismatch, that's when we start to get, more concerns. Because if you imagine somebody that likes to have more space If they're being checked on daily, that can feel like micromanaging. They can feel like they're not being trusted. but then if we have somebody who likes those daily check-ins and those shorter goals, if they're not receiving that. And they're left on their own when they didn't want to be. that [00:18:00] can add stress. Oh, I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing today. am I on the right track? I'm not sure. so it's really just about adjusting everything from check-ins to how goals are set to really match with what's going to work for each individual. For the listeners, I'm sorry, but it is, it is, you know, more flexibility in our part. Right. But this is, Hey, this is 2026. This is just where we're going right now. I don't see this changing of situational leadership. we gotta [00:18:30] ask more of those questions because North America. Manufacturing got great when we did lower, more lean, had more standards, more structure. And that's great for, greasing a cylinder that we know is gonna fail after so many cycles. And we wanna do the same with humans, right? So we're gonna have a meeting every two weeks and then check on you, every three days. the reality is that with the neuroscience that you have, we're not machines. And we're different. especially with the rise of technology now [00:19:00] and AI again, that's a whole conversation. something that I really work towards is creating human-centered workplaces. We work with machines, which is great, and it really helps, advance many aspects of our society. But human-centered workplaces is really important to, Just to, to create spaces where humans can thrive, be healthy, be included, and do our best work to advance our society people who are treated like machines [00:19:30] are more likely to feel. Stressed to not be motivated to not be expressing their creativity. And that just doesn't it, it doesn't do anything for the output either. when we focus on treating everyone like humans, and you know, we have. Feelings. We have brains, we have the word, you know, we have bodies that need to be taken care of. when we really prioritize that, that's where we [00:20:00] spark the ideas, the creativity, the connection, all of the things that are great for us and also for our products. It's like going to the gym, right? you can't go to the gym for 24 hours, you gotta do a little bit of this every day, and then you build up that muscle  I don't wake up in the morning and go to the gym and say, yes, I get to work out. But I do leave there thinking, this feels good. I've invested into this. I know this is gonna pay off. I feel better about it. like you said earlier we're taking shortcuts. We're trying to take that, that quick fix where really we need to have discipline. Like when we're trying to save [00:20:30] money, you gotta put that investment now into those conversations and just how you described it. We need to keep evolving with technology and the only way we're gonna do that is if we're not spending time on lack of clarity,  that was your second one Minimize. uncertainty. So yeah, minimize uncertainty. we spend a lot of time doing that. what are some ideas that we can spend less time on uncertainty. our brains in general don't like uncertainty and [00:21:00] we can feel that when it happens. as an example, let's say you get an unexpected meeting invitation that says all company meeting tomorrow at noon. That's it. Your brain, most people's brains we're getting laid off. You're like, why? Why is this happening? Did I do something wrong? Did my team do something wrong? Is the company shutting down? your brain tries to fill in the gaps by guessing what it could be, and [00:21:30] that comes from the fact that our brain is protective. Our brain is trying to figure out what those missing pieces of information could be. So that we can feel prepared and better able to handle the situation when it comes. it's coming from a good evolutionary place, but it's really unproductive because we waste so much time and energy on trying to fill in those gaps. And half the [00:22:00] time we get it wrong and it's something we didn't even think of. the other point here is that when there's something that's vague, it can also be interpreted in different ways by different brains. like we were talking about before, even the same thing can create a different response in different brains. Somebody might, maybe be like, okay, I don't know. It's fine, no problem. And somebody else might, lose sleep that night and have a really tough time managing [00:22:30] that. and by providing that clarity, that certainty, the information when we're able to. that reduces the waste of time and energy and makes sure that everybody's on the same page about what's happening and prevents those different interpretations. This is resonating because in the manufacturing greatness model, there's three gaps, the second gap's the expectation gap, and that's really that space between what we believe others expect and what we believe is expected, and that [00:23:00] can go in any direction. So that's our model and it takes more conversations to close that gap. what were your tips around that? in general, if you're having communication, whether it's an email a discussion, a meeting or something else, provide as much information as is relevant. So, for example, with that meeting invitation, provide information in the invitation about. What is the topic? [00:23:30] Why is this being, why is the meeting being called? What's the agenda, for example? What are the discussion questions that people might be asked to share on, just to make sure that people know, okay, why is this happening and what am I going to be expected to do or share when I show up? And it's not just about meetings. transparency and clarity is also really important in the broader organizational structure. For example, sharing policies and procedures openly with the team. [00:24:00] Maybe that's like an internal shared drive, a binder with paper copies. There's lots of ways that can be done. also being transparent about things like criteria for promotions and raises. So we don't need people to wonder, what do I need to do to get a raise? It's there. And that's also really great for fairness. and if you're having, for example, a social event. Sharing some information about what to expect. So where are we going? Is [00:24:30] there games or activities? What's the plan for the day? that can make people feel a lot more comfortable knowing what they're getting into. It can help make it easier to choose whether somebody would like to participate or not. it can help people prepare as they feel they need to. some people like to prepare themselves in advance in different ways, so it just gives the opportunity for them to do so. That's something that I believe. I've gotten better at, I know I've worked at it, but [00:25:00] you know, even just like for a podcast guest like yourself, right before I was like, yeah, just jump in. We'll have a conversation. I got some feedback saying, It'd be better if I knew what to expect coming into your podcast. And I'd be like, that's fair. I was thinking about what I like, not about what you like, so I'm working on that That's an example of differences in communication styles  some people would be very happy to jump in and have an informal conversation. other people share their best ideas when they've had some time to prepare. Both are great. They are different, and they [00:25:30] require having that conversation, in advance to make sure that discussion fits with both people. So the last one here is, about manufacturing and our standards, we want Consistency, especially around safety, keep people safe. And then we get struggling around this fine line of also innovation, right? Where we can be more creative and have meetings and conversations that are more inclusive and, step outside the boundaries a bit. that's around your third tip there. And just [00:26:00] making these group sessions more productive. So group meetings is, is one aspect of workplaces where I find that there's a lot of exclusion, a lot of unfairness, and people aren't having their perspectives considered. And a big root of that is meeting practices that aren't inclusive. So I'll share some tips for how we can do better here. how can we [00:26:30] hold. Inclusive meetings and discussions that really facilitate equal opportunity for everyone to contribute. this connects back to the brains because each of our brains drives us to communicate and express ourselves in different ways. that means people can share their best ideas in different environments and in different ways. for example, some people share their best ideas when they've had some time to prepare. Others like to think on the spot. some people [00:27:00] communicate best through speaking and others communicate best through writings or drawings. And some people really thrive off the energy of big groups and lots of people jumping over each other. that's something I would say, especially in, North American culture, work meetings tend to be like 10 people diving in. but that also excludes a lot of people, because many people, and I'm one of them, feel really strongly about this  it can be really challenging to know when to jump [00:27:30] in. I have an idea, I have something to share, but three people are trying to talk at the same time and I have no idea when I'm supposed to start talking. and what can happen there is people just won't, Hmm, they're scared of interrupting. I don't wanna cut somebody off and they just n never find the spot, and then the topic moves on. those ideas get missed. some specific practices we can implement to make our meetings more inclusive. include, providing agendas and discussion questions in [00:28:00] advance. This overlaps with clarity and transparency as well. so team members can prepare their thoughts in advance if they like to do so. We can give a minute to think after asking a question or presenting a topic, this can feel uncomfortable at first. We are not used to that at all. But it can make a huge difference to allowing team members to really process, yeah, what do I think about that? What do I want to share here? and [00:28:30] then inviting responses, and I said try that out and see if, if team members are, have more contributions after they've had a moment to process. That's my challenge to you listener today, driving into work because you're gonna be courageous, like if you're facilitating a meeting or it doesn't really matter if you're facilitating it. You can be a participant. it's interesting because we don't take that minute. When we do, it's even more powerful in our fields of manufacturing, logistics, transportation. [00:29:00] It's all so urgent that we don't allow. The best ideas to come forward. even when I'm talking to a plant manager about getting their executive team to get together and just talk about the different, you know, how are we working together, right? Like, how are we sharing ideas? What's working and what's not? it's like, oh, I don't know if we can have time to have that discussion. Well. you're losing the money, you're tripping over the dollars and picking up the penny sometimes because we're so busy. which to me means not productive. But hey, I appreciate you [00:29:30] sharing that today. I think we all need to hear that Falisha it can feel like we're taking a bit more time, but in the end, it can be more productive because we are getting the team's best ideas and we're inviting everybody to participate, which in the end can support a better product. and a couple of last tips to help generate ideas from everyone. one of them is offering a shared document or a form where team members can share their thoughts in a written format. this can be during the meeting and also after. [00:30:00] sometimes. It can take a bit more time for a great idea to brew in somebody's brain. it's, half an hour after the meeting and they're like, oh, I wish I could have shared that. So having that form or shared doc really helps, create a space for people to add their ideas when they come. lastly, starting a discussion with a turn-taking structure, where each team member is invited to contribute without interruption. And if you are on a time crunch, there can be a time limit per person. what's [00:30:30] really important here is that everybody. Has a turn if they would like to share. They don't have to. They can pass, but everyone has a turn to share without interruption. you can ask a question, raise a topic, go around the team members. this helps ensure that everyone who would like to share has equal opportunity to do so without having to navigate jumping into an overlapping conversation. And what I find when I implement this People [00:31:00] who weren't contributing as much in other meeting formats, share fantastic ideas and feel more connected with the team. we get a broader range of ideas because everybody can share before we open it up. you can still open it up to discussion afterwards to build on the ideas and connect with each other, but That initial practice of giving everybody some space has benefits for the meeting, for team connection, for creativity, and, generating more ideas.[00:31:30]  Listening to you, it's like, oh, yeah, that makes sense. you go around every person and ask them, but. We don't do it, it's just Okay, good. We got a solution. I think we just hit the whack-a-mole. We can, we can all get outta this meeting now. And, and three people never got to contribute and probably had a better idea. I could go on for about another five hours with you, but how do our listeners get more of you, Falisha, and follow you, connect with you? what's the best basis for that? I've got a few [00:32:00] ways that we can connect, LinkedIn, Instagram, or my newsletter, brain Science for better workplaces. maybe we can put those links, in the description and I'd be very happy to connect with any of you. please feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat more about brains. thank you. Shout out to Nina Na Doley, our mutual friend and previous, guest here that, that suggested you. so glad we got to meet I've already learned so much from you, Falisha, it's just these reminders of like, it's okay. We're, we're, we're just hardwired [00:32:30] like this. We've been conditioned this way and We can make changes. We can build workplaces that align with how our brain functions. Thank you, Falisha. I appreciate you coming on the show. My pleasure. Thanks for having me.
