Joe Holder is a performance coach, Nike Master Trainer, and wellness strategist who works with elite athletes, artists, and brands at the intersection of fitness, mindset, and longevity.If you want real results by summer, this episode lays out exactly how to use the next 12 weeks to build strength, improve conditioning, lose fat effectively, and create a body that looks and performs better. We break down how to get into solid general shape in the first 4–6 weeks, then transition into smarter “toning” phases that focus on muscle balance, symmetry, and definition. Joe explains the difference between building vs. toning muscle (and why most people get this wrong), plus what most people miss when structuring a workout plan that actually delivers visible change.You'll learn how to use the three types of cardio strategically, including when cardio helps recovery instead of hurting progress, and how to apply progressive overload, de-load phases, and supercompensation so your body keeps adapting.We also get tactical with carb cycling, sustainable fat loss, training with PCOS and how to monitor short-term progress so you build real intuition about what's working.Joe shares the key difference between rigid routines and flexible frameworks, what elite athletes and celebrities do differently, and how to stay consistent long enough to see real momentum.If you're ready to treat the next 3 months like a focused training camp and walk into summer feeling strong, lean, and dialed, this episode is your blueprint.This episode is brought to you by:Save 15% off my favorite Red Light Mask from BON CHARGE by using code BLONDE at www.boncharge.com.For a limited time, Prolon is offering 15% off sitewide plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-Day program!

 Heavy hitters like Larry Fink and Paul Atkins have said that tokenization is the future, but acquiring and managing tokenized assets can be a tall order for the average retail investor. Today's company is working to change that, with a unique strategy that provides value far beyond market exposure. Marco Santori is the Chief Executive Officer of Solmate, which trades under the symbol SLMT. Solmate is an institutional infrastructure company accelerating Solana's growth, and giving investors exposure to Solana's native token, SOL. Marco is a treasury company pioneer, launching the very first Altcoin treasury on Nasdaq, and he was a partner at Pantera Capital where he helped to structure some of the industry's best performing treasuries. Marco was also the Chief Legal Officer at Kraken, one of the world's largest digital asset exchanges, served as the President of Blockchain.com, and he was a partner at the law firm Cooley, where he led the firm's global fintech team. Today, Marco joins us to explain how Solmate's infrastructure flywheel creates value, what makes Solana unique among blockchains, and how the emergence of digitized capital markets will impact the world of finance.Highlights:Blockchain basics (2:22)What is Solana?

Doug McHoney (PwC's International Tax Services Global Leader) is joined by Steve Kohart, a New York City-based international tax partner at PwC and former advisor to the OECD's Center for Tax Policy and Administration. Doug and Steve discuss the January side-by-side agreement's implications for US-parented multinationals, why Pillar Two remains relevant through QDMTTs, and how the CBCR transitional safe harbor bridges to the permanent simplified ETR safe harbor. They unpack what ‘simplified' really means: financial accounting standards, denominator and numerator adjustments, deferred tax ‘bad DTLs,' and the practical reality of a third set of books. The conversation also covers JV complications, Chapter 6 M&A/reorg rules, transition provisions (9.1.1–9.1.3) and excess negative taxes, new flexibility for return-to-provision adjustments, integrity rules, and what guidance and compliance planning teams should prioritize next.

After 17 years in business, I hit record-breaking revenue. And behind the scenes? My business was leaking profit, energy, and alignment. In this solo episode of Can't Be Contained, I'm pulling back the curtain on what I'm doing differently in 2026 — and why simplifying everything has been the most profitable decision of my career. We're talking: The hard truth about revenue vs. profit • Why I consolidated my entire tech stack into one platform • Shifting from complexity to clean systems • The move toward low-ticket offers and scalable impact • Building an all-female leadership team with strong energetic boundaries • Phone addiction, creativity, and protecting life force • Why recalibration years aren't failure — they're initiation This isn't a strategy episode. It's a recalibration episode. If you've built something successful but it no longer feels sustainable, this is your permission slip to simplify, refine, and build from nervous system alignment instead of pressure. Sometimes letting go is the most profitable move you'll ever make.

In the film New Jack City, a gangster gets angry at his girlfriend and tells someone to “cancel” her. Years later, people on social media started using this exact word to say they will stop supporting famous people who make bad choices. It shows how a simple movie line can grow into a word that everyone uses to talk about problematic artists today.

Thomas TrowardThe Teacher and the ManAn Intimate MemoirBy Harry Gaze “Far and away the ablest statement of philosophy I have met — beautiful in its sustained clearness of thought and style, a really classic statement.”— William James, Philosopher & Psychologist About This BookThe only portrait of Thomas Troward ever penned by someone who knew him personally — Harry Gaze's intimate memoir is an irreplaceable window into the life, philosophy, and quiet genius of one of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries' most transformative thinkers.Thomas Troward (1847–1916) was no ordinary philosopher. A divisional judge in British-administered Punjab, he spent decades applying the rigorous logic of the courtroom to the deepest mysteries of mind, spirit, and existence. His celebrated Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science — delivered to a small but enraptured audience at Queen Street Hall in 1904 — ignited the New Thought Movement and went on to inspire luminaries from William James to the creators of the 2006 film The Secret.Yet Troward the man remained elusive — until Harry Gaze wrote this book. A fellow New Thought teacher, lecturer, and publisher of the periodical Life Culture, Gaze enjoyed a rare personal correspondence and friendship with Troward. Drawing on private letters, first-hand encounters, and the accounts of those closest to Troward — including Higher Thought Centre founder Alice Callow — Gaze brings the philosopher vividly to life: warm, witty, fond of practical jokes at home, and staggeringly precise in his intellectual vision.Originally published in 1958, Thomas Troward: The Teacher and the Man traces how a retired civil servant from India stumbled into London's metaphysical circles, developed the system of Mental Science that would shape modern spirituality, and quietly influenced early Alcoholics Anonymous, Ernest Holmes' Science of Mind, and generations of seekers who followed. It is biography, memoir, and celebration in one — indispensable for anyone who has encountered Troward's ideas and wishes to understand the man behind them.What You'll Discover InsidePrivate Letters Revealed: Includes rare personal correspondence between Troward and Gaze, offering direct insight into Troward's philosophical development and private thoughts.The Only Personal Portrait: Written by a man who knew Troward directly — the sole memoir to portray him as a living, breathing individual rather than a distant intellectual icon.Mental Science Explained: Gaze breaks down Troward's core teachings on the subjective and objective mind, the creative power of thought, and the universal principles of Mental Science.Rich Historical Context: Covers Troward's years in India, his emergence in London's Higher Thought Centre, the legendary Edinburgh Lectures, and the 1914 New Thought Congress.Who Should Read ThisEssential reading for students of the New Thought Movement, Law of Attraction, Science of Mind, and metaphysical philosophy. Ideal for readers of Wallace D. Wattles, Genevieve Behrend, Ernest Holmes, and Neville Goddard who want to trace the roots of modern mind-science back to one of its most brilliant originators. Equally compelling for historians of Victorian and Edwardian spirituality and anyone fascinated by the unlikely figures who quietly shaped how the modern world thinks about the mind's power over reality.

Every six to twelve months, I sit down and strip out everything that's not working. I cut. I simplify. I get back to basics.Because that's when my business works best—when I'm focused on what actually moves the needle, not just doing busy work for the sake of busy work.At the end of last year, I did this again. And the four changes we made freed up space, allowed us to focus, and helped us have our best months ever while still working part-time.If you're feeling overwhelmed by all the moving pieces in your business—this episode is for you.I'm walking through the Traffic Light Process I use to figure out what stays and what goes, plus the four things we simplified: bringing ads back in-house, pulling back on social media, ditching video podcasting, and streamlining our offer suite.Simplifying isn't just about cutting things. It's about making room for what actually matters. And for the next new things that come along.Want to chat about simplifying your business?

Content creation continues to expand across music, social media, and mobile video, yet high‑quality audio remains one of the most persistent challenges for creators. HISONG Music Tech introduces the Air Studio S1, a mobile recording system designed to simplify the process of capturing clean, professional‑grade sound without the need for bulky equipment or complex setup. The device combines a condenser microphone with low‑latency wireless earbuds, creating a streamlined solution for musicians, performers, and mobile storytellers.The system addresses a common problem faced by creators who rely on smartphones for video production. Built‑in microphones often struggle with clarity, noise control, and tonal accuracy, while traditional recording setups require adapters, cables, and external power sources. The Air Studio S1 eliminates these barriers by offering a plug‑and‑record experience that connects directly to a mobile device through a USB‑C interface. Once connected, the microphone becomes immediately active, allowing creators to begin recording without pairing steps or configuration menus.Integrated Monitoring Through Low‑Latency EarbudsA defining feature of the Air Studio S1 is its integrated monitoring system. The device includes a pair of low‑latency Bluetooth earbuds stored within the microphone housing. These earbuds allow performers to hear their voice or instrument in real time as it is captured by the microphone. This capability is particularly valuable for musicians who rely on accurate monitoring to maintain pitch, timing, and expressive control during performance.The earbuds also support general audio playback, enabling creators to listen to reference tracks, backing music, or previously recorded material while working. The magnetic storage system ensures that the earbuds remain secure within the microphone body when not in use, supporting portability and ease of transport.Condenser Microphone Performance and ControlsThe Air Studio S1 by HISONG Music Tech uses a condenser microphone engineered to deliver clarity and detail suitable for vocals, acoustic instruments, and spoken content. The device includes onboard controls for volume adjustment and pickup sensitivity, allowing users to adapt the microphone to different environments and recording styles. Multiple pickup patterns can be selected to accommodate solo performance, interview formats, or directional capture in noisy settings.The microphone's ergonomic design supports handheld use while maintaining a lightweight feel suitable for extended sessions. The system operates for up to eight hours on a single charge, enabling creators to record throughout the day without interruption. Wired operation is also supported through USB‑C when continuous power is required.Designed for Modern CreatorsThe Air Studio S1 reflects a broader shift toward mobile‑first content creation. Musicians often capture ideas on the go, and creators frequently record interviews, commentary, or performance clips in dynamic environments. The ability to monitor audio, adjust microphone settings, and record high‑quality sound without additional equipment supports a more spontaneous and flexible creative process.The system is compatible with both iOS and Android devices, making it accessible to a wide range of users. Additional configurations are available for creators who wish to connect the microphone to cameras, speakers, or other recording systems, expanding its versatility across different production workflows.ConclusionHISONG Music Tech advances mobile audio capture through the Air Studio S1, a recording system that integrates a condenser microphone with low‑latency monitoring earbuds. By simplifying setup, improving sound quality, and supporting real‑time monitoring, the device offers a practical solution for musicians, performers, and mobile creators seeking professional‑grade audio without complex equipment. As mobile content continues to grow, tools that streamline the recording process play an increasingly important role in modern creative work.Interview by Don Baine, The Gadget Professor.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

You love building web apps with Python, and HTMX got you excited about the hypermedia approach -- let the server drive the HTML, skip the JavaScript build step, keep things simple. But then you hit that last 10%: You need Alpine.js for interactivity, your state gets out of sync, and suddenly you're juggling two unrelated libraries that weren't designed to work together. What if there was a single 11-kilobyte framework that gave you everything HTMX and Alpine do, and more, with real-time updates, multiplayer collaboration out of the box, and performance so fast you're actually bottlenecked by the monitor's refresh rate? That's Datastar. On this episode, I sit down with its creator Delaney Gillilan, core maintainer Ben Croker, and Datastar convert Chris May to explore how this backend-driven, server-sent-events-first framework is changing the way full-stack developers think about the modern web.

Do you feel like you are losing your audience the very second a guest interview ends? Is your current podcast style actually building a bridge to your paid offers or is it just a hobby that takes up your time? Are you wondering if the interview format you were told to use is actually the reason your listeners are not buying? Many podcasters fall into the trap of neglecting their own brand authority because they are too busy highlighting everyone else. In this episode, I'm gonna share how you can shift your strategy now to make sure your show serves your business goals instead of just providing a platform for others and that there is a specific balance between solo and guest content that transforms your podcast into a reliable high-converting asset. The secret is found in a podcast structure that prioritizes your own voice through strategic solo shows. By moving toward more solo content, you improve your audience retention because people start showing up specifically for your unique perspective. This shift ensures your show is a key part of your marketing funnel rather than a separate project sitting on the sidelines. This is your guide to reclaiming your platform and establishing true thought leadership in your industry. You will learn how to use podcast networking for growth without losing your status as the primary expert. Transitioning to this model is the fastest way to drive podcast monetization and secure your expert positioning as a leader. If you are ready to stop hiding behind a microphone full of guests and finally step into your authority, this is your next step. Your show needs to be centered on your unique expertise.  It is time to stop being a supporting character in your own brand and start leading the conversation.

You did a video a while back about your 6 funds, but now you mentioned in a recent video that you simplified and are down to 3 or 4 funds. I was thinking of mirroring your 6 fund plan but now I see you have simplified, which is why I am asking if you can do a new video going over your new 4 fund plan."Join the Newsletter.

From Complexity to Consistency: Doug C. Brown on Predictable Revenue, Follow-Up & Sales Systems In this episode of SAaes Simplified, I sit down with Doug C. Brown, CEO of CEO Sales Strategies and a renowned sales revenue and profit growth expert, for a deeply honest conversation about what really drives sales performance and what silently holds it back.Doug has built 35+ businesses and helped generate over $960M in sales for himself and his clients. But this conversation goes beyond numbers. We explore how truth, accountability, systems, and follow-up can completely transform results  including one powerful story where a single mindset shift helped a salesperson go from $140K to $2.1M in commissions in one year.Rather than relying on hype, pressure, or “10X” promises, Doug breaks down a predictable, math-based approach to sales growth that prioritizes clarity, consistency, and human connection even in an AI-driven world.We cover:How honesty with yourself can unlock exponential growthWhy most sales teams struggle (and why it often starts with leadership)The real reason follow-up is where deals are won or lostHow Doug's math-based model creates predictable revenueWhy “10X thinking” often hurts more than it helpsThe compounding power of small, consistent improvementsDetaching from desperation and selling without pressureHow systems create freedom instead of burnoutWhere AI supports sales and where humans still matter mostWhat founders must focus on before scalingTakeaways:Growth accelerates when truth replaces ego.Follow-up is one of the most overlooked revenue drivers.Predictable sales come from systems, not motivation.Small improvements compound into massive results.Sales works best when it's rooted in service, not pressure.

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Hope Ijaola, founder of Dr. Hopiola Skincare, for an in-depth conversation about the inspiration, research, and clinical expertise behind the brand—and how to build a skincare routine that actually works. Website: drhopiola.com Instagram: drhopiola BACK STORY As a physician, I noticed that many of my patients, and even I myself, struggled to tolerate certain prescription-grade skincare products, despite their proven benefits. Side effects like burning, stinging, and peeling often made it challenging to use them consistently. This inspired me to explore high-performance natural alternatives - ingredients supported by science, yet gentle enough to respect the skin's natural balance. I studied organic skincare formulation enriched with advanced training in organic cosmetic science, and I focused on botanicals that are known to: Support the skin barrier and help reduce moisture loss Lock in hydration for a softer, smoother feel Provide antioxidants that help defend against environmental stressors and maintain a youthful, supple look From there, my mission became about more than formulation. I committed to sourcing ingredients responsibly and sustainably from trusted partners with meaningful stories. I built rigorous accountability into every step of the process: from sourcing and manufacturing to sanitation, filling, packaging, warehousing, and distribution. Dr. Hopiola was born from this pursuit: skincare designed to work in harmony with your skin, your values, and your well-being     SUBSCRIBE TO ICONIC HOUR If you enjoyed today's podcast, I'd be so appreciative if you'd take two minutes to subscribe, rate and review ICONIC HOUR.

The Fact: Those are Figure Skating jumps. In competitive Ice Dancing, athletes are actually forbidden from performing these types of multi-rotation jumps. It is a common mix-up, but the two are separate disciplines! Surfing as a “One-Off” Showcase The Claim: Andrew thought Surfing was a one-time showcase sport for the Summer Olympics, similar to breakdancing. The Fact: Unlike breakdancing (which was only for Paris 2024), Surfing is a permanent Olympic sport. It debuted in Tokyo 2020, appeared in Paris 2024, and is already confirmed for the Los Angeles 2028 Games. The History of Ski Jumping The Claim: Luke suggested that ski jumping started at the Calgary 1988 Olympics with Eddie the Eagle. The Fact: Ski jumping is actually one of the original Winter Olympic sports. It has been in every Winter Games since the very first one in 1924 (Chamonix, France)—64 years before the Calgary Games. When the Games “Staggered” (The 2-Year Gap) The Claim: Andrew and Luke discussed the Games being “staggered” (Summer and Winter in different years) starting after 1988. The Fact: The change actually happened after 1992. Both the Summer and Winter Games were held in 1992 (Albertville and Barcelona). The first time the Winter Olympics were held in their own separate year was Lillehammer 1994. Canada's 2010 Gold Medal Record The Claim: Luke estimated that Canada won about 10 gold medals in Vancouver 2010. The Fact: Canada actually won 14 gold medals in 2010. At the time, this set a world record for the most gold medals ever won by a single country at any Winter Olympics.
