With Joe Flacco, Jameis Winston, and Jimmy Garoppolo all off the table, the Bucs' plan B for replacing Baker Mayfield is Brett Rypien — signed to the practice squad, not the active roster — while undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels makes his first career start Sunday against Green Bay. Rick Stroud lays out a sobering stat: since 2024, rookie quarterbacks are a combined 56-89, and the backup quarterbacks who've actually won games around the league this season (Case Keenum, Mac Jones, Carson Wentz, Drew Locke) all share one thing Daniels doesn't have — real NFL experience. Rick and Steve debate, half-seriously, whether a Bucs fan should even want a win right now given a stacked, quarterback-heavy draft class, before agreeing there's too much season left and too bad a division to consider punting on it. They also dig into where the blame really lies for Tampa Bay's offensive collapse — Baker's tendency to extend plays into sacks and holding penalties, Zach Robinson's predictable play-calling, an offensive line that isn't as bad as it looks — and note the one thing working: Chase McLaughlin hasn't missed a field goal all year. A mailbag question revisits why Mike Evans really left for San Francisco, and Rick makes the case that Evans saw a closer path to a Super Bowl elsewhere as his own mortality became real after his first-ever injury-shortened season.The back half looks ahead to a jam-packed week: MLB's wild-card round (Yankees leading Boston, Padres and Braves both winning thrillers), the NHL's opening night, and the Lightning's regular-season opener Thursday at the Rangers, plus a scheduling headache with the Rays' ALDS Game 1 and the Lightning's home opener both landing Saturday night. Rick and Steve also mark the sixth anniversary of Tampa Bay's first boat parade and pitch (not entirely jokingly) a stadium renovation tribute to Tom Brady's Super Bowl trophy toss.Segments:Jalon Daniels named starter; what backup-quarterback history says about his chances against Green BayIs the offensive line really the problem, or is it Baker Mayfield and play-calling?Mailbag: Why did Mike Evans really leave for San Francisco?MLB wild card round recap: Yankees-Red Sox, Padres-Cubs, Braves walk-off winNHL season opens; Lightning open Thursday at the Rangers, home opener collides with Rays ALDS Game 1Sixth anniversary of Tampa Bay's first championship boat paradeSponsor: Breitling Boutique, International PlazaTimestamps:0:09 – Bucs' backup QB plan revealed: Brett Rypien to the practice squad, Jalen Daniels named starter2:27 – Why experienced backups matter: Case Keenum's big Monday night4:15 – Rookie QBs are 56-89 since 2024; should a Bucs fan want a loss right now?7:00 – Is the offensive line really the problem, or is it Baker Mayfield and play-calling?16:23 – What Daniels has going for him: 50+ college starts, calm demeanor17:36 – Backup QBs went nearly undefeated this weekend; the risk the Bucs took at QB222:46 – Sponsor: Breitling Boutique, International Plaza24:13 – Sixth anniversary of Tampa Bay's first championship boat parade28:33 – Mailbag: Why did Mike Evans really leave for San Francisco?33:22 – Mailbag: Where does the blame fall for the Bucs' offensive struggles?39:12 – MLB wild-card recap: Yankees-Red Sox, Padres-Cubs, Braves walk-off win40:10 – NHL season opens; Lightning-Rangers Thursday, Saturday scheduling conflict with Rays ALDS Game 1 Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Jen Pollock Michel and I talk about A Rule for the Rest of Us and what Saint Benedict might offer people who will never live in a monastery. We start with the anxiety of optimization and the strange burden of unlimited freedom, then ask what happens when we're left to manufacture our own meaning. Jen explains what a rule of life actually is, why small daily habits can do what ambitious goals can't, and how we learn to hear God's voice through Scripture and community. We also talk about keeping a rule from becoming self-help, and about discipleship that fits the life we actually have.A dual citizen of the United States and Canada, Jen Pollock Michel is an award-winning author, speaker, and podcast host living in Cincinnati.

Galliford Try Holdings PLC (LSE:GFRD, FRA:3WC) chief financial officer Kris Hampson spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the construction group's latest results, growing order book, margin progression and outlook for 2027, as well as its approach to acquisitions and shareholder returns. Hampson said Galliford Try delivered a sixth consecutive year of growth across key metrics, supported by its building, infrastructure and specialist services operations. Adjusted profit before tax rose 24% on revenue growth of 3% to nearly £56 million, with adjusted divisional operating margin advancing from 3% to 3.5% and average cash up 21% to £216.2 million. "We make revenue, we turn it into profit, and we turn that profit into cash," Hampson said. Looking ahead, he highlighted the £4.3 billion order book, up 5%, with more than 90% of current-year revenue already secured, alongside 60% for 2028. He said 91% of the order book sits within long-term frameworks and 95% is with government and regulated clients. Hampson also discussed opportunities across water, highways, education and affordable housing, including growth tied to AMP8, newer frameworks on improved terms, and expects continued progression towards the group's 4% adjusted operating margin target for 2030. On capital allocation, Galliford Try announced a £15 million share buyback alongside its results, following last year's £10 million buyback. Hampson also discussed the company's active M&A pipeline and its commitment to maintaining a dividend at 1.8 times cover based on adjusted EPS.

In this episode Andrea Samadi revisits a 2020 conversation with trainer Jason Wittrock, exploring how movement, recovery, and nutrition interact to support learning, adaptation, and performance. They discuss sustainable eating strategies—like focusing on food quality, experimenting to find what works for you, and using tracking as a short-term tool rather than a lifetime rule. The episode also highlights the power of example: staying consistent with healthy habits even when others resist, trusting the process, and choosing one manageable change to practice until it becomes part of your life. Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we bridge neuroscience, social and emotional learning, and human performance so we can create measurable improvements in our well-being, achievement, leadership, productivity, and results. I'm Andrea Samadi, and if you've been following along through Season 16, you'll know that we have been building what I call The Brain's Operating System for Human Performance—a neuroscience-based framework designed to help us understand how the different systems of the brain and body work together to influence how we learn, adapt, connect, lead, and ultimately perform. Today, we are completing Phase 3: Movement, Learning, and Cognition, where we have been following this central pathway: Movement creates the stimulus. Recovery allows the brain and body to respond. Adaptation is the change that follows. And improved performance is the outcome we are working toward. Throughout this phase, we have explored how movement activates the brain, how exercise primes attention and learning, and how recovery determines our readiness to perform. We have also examined how sleep, cardiovascular fitness, strength, nutrition, and metabolic health influence the way the brain and body adapt over time. For this final episode of Phase 3, we are returning to a conversation that played an important role in my own health journey. Today, we revisit my interview with personal trainer and fitness model Jason Wittrock, who first appeared on this podcast in Episode 94[i] in November 2020. On this episode, we explore: ✔ Why food quality can matter more than rigidly chasing numbers ✔ How hunger and fullness provide useful information ✔ Why tracking should teach us—not control us ✔ How experimentation builds body awareness ✔ Why consistency matters more than short-term perfection ✔ How leading by example can influence others—even when we cannot see it yet I first discovered Jason in late 2016 or early 2017, when I was standing at a crossroads with my health. I knew I needed to make some changes, but I didn't yet know what those changes should look like. I had heard people talking about keto coffee and the potential benefits of a ketogenic diet, including increased energy, greater mental clarity, and weight loss. So, like many people searching for answers, I went to YouTube and typed in, “How do you make keto coffee?” One of Jason Wittrock's[ii] videos appeared. That video became the beginning of a much larger journey for me—one that changed the way I thought about nutrition, energy, exercise, and metabolic health. What made Jason stand out wasn't only the information he shared. It was the intention behind it. He would speak quickly and enthusiastically about what he was doing, what he was eating, and why—and then he would say something simple: “Hey, I'm just trying to help.” And I believed him. Jason also emphasized something that has remained with me ever since: it isn't enough to follow a diet or health plan for 30 or 45 days. If we want lasting results, the changes must become part of the way we live. That message stuck—all these years later. I began making keto coffee, experimenting with new foods, learning what macronutrients were, and discovering what worked best for me. I began paying much closer attention to how nutrition affected my energy, mental clarity, and physical performance. I still make the occasional keto coffee and have MCT Oil next to the blender, and Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter in the fridge. ‘ What started with one YouTube video became part of a much broader investigation into the habits that support brain health, my metabolic health, as well as longevity. And this is exactly why Jason's work belongs at the conclusion of Phase 3. Movement is a powerful signal—but the body does not adapt to movement in isolation. Adaptation is also shaped by how we fuel the body, regulate blood sugar, support metabolic flexibility, sleep, recover, and repeat our habits consistently over time. Exercise, nutrition, sleep, fasting, and recovery are not completely separate health strategies. They are interacting signals that tell the brain and body how to respond, rebuild, and perform. As we revisit this interview, you'll hear some of my questions from the earlier years of my health journey. Science continues to evolve, and so have many of my habits and perspectives. But the central lesson remains highly relevant: Lasting change rarely begins with having every answer. Sometimes, it begins with one trusted voice, one new idea, and the willingness to take the first step. Almost six years after recording this interview, I can say that I still trust Jason's guidance on nutrition. As I reviewed these clips, they almost brought tears to my eyes because I could see how accurately his words predicted what would unfold years later. It was almost as if he were saying, “Keep going. Trust the process.” And when I look at the lasting changes in my own life and family, I can now see what he meant. CLIP 1: ESCAPING THE CAGE OF CONSTANT TRACKING In Clip 1, (click to watch VIDEO clip) Jason challenges the idea that we need a perfect calorie target or precise macronutrient formula to improve our health. He explains that nutritional needs vary from one person to another—and even from one day to the next. This makes it difficult for an online calculator or outside expert to determine exactly what an individual body needs at every moment. From Jason's perspective, one potential benefit of a well-formulated ketogenic diet is that it may help some people experience steadier energy, fewer cravings, and greater awareness of their natural hunger and fullness cues. Instead of constantly counting calories or tracking every gram of protein, fat, and carbohydrate, he encourages people to begin with the quality of the foods they eat and then observe how their bodies respond. Jason uses the image of a lion in the wild compared with a lion in a cage. The lion in the wild responds naturally to hunger and fullness. The lion in the cage represents someone constrained by spreadsheets, calorie targets, and rigid food rules. His central message is that nutrition should be sustainable enough to support your life—not so complicated that tracking the plan becomes your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM CLIP 1 There is no single perfect formula for everyone. Calorie and macronutrient recommendations are estimates. Individual needs vary according to activity, sleep, stress, health, body composition, personal goals, and many other factors. When I first watched one of Jason's “What I Eat in a Day” videos, it gave me a starting point. At that time, I didn't really know what to prepare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I ate healthy foods, rarely ate sugar, but knew I could improve with what I was using as energy. Jason's meals gave me a basic framework. From there, I adjusted the foods and portions to make his approach work for me. If you want to see a more recent video of what he eats in a day, you can visit his Instagram[iii] page. Food quality matters. Jason recommends beginning with nutrient-dense, minimally processed foods rather than focusing exclusively on calories or macronutrient percentages. This was a huge paradigm shift for me. At the time, I could tell you the calorie count of almost any food. But after listening to Jason, I stopped thinking only about calories in and calories burned. Instead, I began noticing which foods left me feeling satisfied, energized, and full. Hunger and fullness provide useful information. Learning to recognize physical hunger, satisfaction after eating, cravings, changes in energy, and fullness can help us understand how different foods affect us. This was another eye-opener for me. I began experimenting with intermittent fasting and eating within a defined window. This practice helped me learn what hunger actually felt like without immediately becoming afraid of it. With time, my body became more accustomed to recognizing hunger cues and waiting until it was time to eat. This became useful when I was traveling. If I couldn't find a restaurant or food choice that worked for me, I learned that I could wait rather than eat something simply because I was uncomfortable with feeling hungry. I also learned that drinking water could sometimes help that hunger feeling to feeling pass. Tracking can be helpful—but it is only a tool. Tracking may help someone understand portions, macronutrients, (how much protein, carbs or fats are in a certain food) or eating patterns. But when tracking becomes rigid, stressful, or obsessive, it can make a healthy lifestyle more difficult to sustain. I used an app to track my carbohydrates, proteins, and fats during the first few months. Once I understood what worked for me and found meals I could repeat, I no longer needed the tracker. The tracking served its purpose: it taught me something. But it didn't need to control me indefinitely. Experimentation builds self-awareness. Instead of blindly following someone else's formula, Jason encourages us to test different foods and routines while paying attention to our energy, appetite, mood, sleep, and performance. I liked Jason's food choices, so I used many of his meals as a starting point and adjusted the portions for my own body and needs. Sustainability (the long-term vision) matters more than short-term perfection. The most effective nutritional approach is one that supports your health while remaining realistic enough to continue over time. I had always believed that I ate healthy foods, but I didn't fully understand how to build meals that worked for me until I began following Jason's work. His guidance helped me move from generally trying to “eat healthy” to understanding how specific choices affected my energy, focus, and performance. Now I know what breakfast foods work best for me when I have a long day, without access to food, and what refuels me after a long hike, as well as what helps me to wind down before sleep. The goal is greater freedom—not another cage. Jason's lion metaphor reminds us that a nutrition plan should help us reconnect with our bodies rather than make us feel controlled by numbers, rules, and spreadsheets. Once we learn what works for us, it becomes easier to stay on track without constantly measuring everything. I still eat many of the same foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My youngest daughter has now discovered the meals that work best for her and has become an excellent cook who prepares her own food every week. There is still one person in our house who insists he will never change the way he eats. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he might try the carrots and celery I have ready to go--someday. HOW CAN WE PUT THE IDEAS FROM CLIP 1 INTO PRACTICE? First, begin by improving the quality of one meal each day. Build it around minimally processed foods that include some protein, healthy fat, fiber, and vegetables that are appropriate for your chosen nutritional approach. Like me, once you connect with someone you trust, you can learn from them. Second, pause before eating and ask yourself: Am I physically hungry, or am I responding to stress, habit, boredom, or simply the availability of food? This concept is still important for me. I sometimes reach for a snack when I'm stressed or rushing. In those moments, I can pause and consider whether a glass of water—or a few quiet minutes—would meet the real need more effectively. Third, slow down while eating. Give your brain and body enough time to recognize satisfaction. Halfway through the meal, pause and notice whether you are still hungry, comfortably satisfied, or already full. Bob Proctor, who has appeared often throughout this podcast, used to say often: “Do you taste your food?” Are you eating slowly and mindfully enough to notice how your food actually tastes? I noticed something interesting recently while eating at a steak restaurant. I had removed alcohol from my diet at the beginning of August after realizing that I didn't really enjoy it. After the first month, I began noticing that I could taste food differently. At this restaurant, I experienced the flavor of shrimp cocktail in an entirely new way. That is a story for another episode, but it reminded me that when we slow down and pay attention, we may notice something we have missed before. Fourth, observe how different meals affect you. Notice your energy, cravings, mood, focus, digestion, exercise performance, and hunger during the hours that follow. Fifth, experiment with one change at a time. If you change everything at the same time, it becomes hard to identify which food or habit produced the result. Sixth, use numbers selectively. Tracking your food for a short period can provide useful information, but it does not need to become a permanent requirement. Let the data teach you rather than control you. Seventh, remember that ketosis (or intermittent fasting) is not the only path to understanding your appetite or metabolic health. Some people feel better following a ketogenic approach, while others do well with a balanced diet that includes high-quality carbohydrates. The important question is whether the approach is safe, nourishing, sustainable, and effective for you. Finally, if you take medication or have diabetes or concerns involving your kidneys, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, cardiovascular health, or eating behaviors, speak with a qualified healthcare professional before beginning a ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, or another significant dietary change. The goal is not to copy someone else's perfect formula. The goal is to gather information, listen carefully to your body, and gradually uncover the nutritional approach that helps you feel and perform at your best. CLIP 2: PUSHING THROUGH THE BACKLASH In Clip 2, (click the link to watch the video clip) Jason and I discuss one of the most difficult parts of creating a healthy lifestyle: continuing to make intentional choices when the people around us do not understand or support what we are doing. I described the challenge of teaching my daughters healthy eating habits while they watched their friends eat fast food and sugary foods. As a parent, it can feel as though you are the “bad guy” when you establish boundaries or offer healthier choices that your children do not yet appreciate. Jason explained that these lessons might not make sense to them when they are young, because eating well did not feel necessary to them at that stage of their lives. They really want to fit in. But that did not mean they weren't paying attention. His message was to keep leading by example. The people around us may resist our choices, criticize us, or even think we are being extreme—but they are still watching. When improving their own health eventually becomes important or necessary, they may remember the habits, choices, and lessons they witnessed. The main idea is simple but powerful: Push through the immediate backlash, because the example you set today may become someone else's roadmap tomorrow. KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM CLIP 2 People may resist what they do not yet need—or what they did not choose. Health advice can seem unnecessary to someone who has not experienced a problem, consequence, or don't have a personal desire to change. We each need to arrive at the point where we want the change for ourselves. Resistance does not mean your example is being ignored. People may question your choices while quietly observing your consistency, discipline, and results. When Jason predicted that I would notice the effects of my healthy eating choices years later, I had no idea how accurate he would be. Years after this interview, my youngest daughter now meal-preps. She is a wonderful cook, and I can learn from the foods she prepares each week. My oldest daughter (also meal preps) and thanked me for not making junk food and fast food a normal part of their childhood. They definitely ate some of these foods when they grew older, but they were grateful that those foods had not formed the foundation of what they ate when they were young. I'll never forget when she said “Hey Mom, thanks for making us eat healthy when we were little.” I remember being shocked—and grateful—that I had stayed true to what I believed was right. At the time, I sometimes wondered whether I was depriving them of experiences their friends enjoyed. People thought I was from a different planet when I told them I had never bought fast food for the kids. Years later, I could see that my example had made an impact, even when there was little evidence of it in the moment in those early years. Timing matters. We cannot force another person to change before they are ready. But we can make sure that helpful information and a positive example are available when their moment arrives. Leading by example can be more powerful than lecturing. Consistently demonstrating healthy habits gives other people a practical model they can use later. Children absorb more than they appear to. Even when children complain about boundaries we give them, or reject healthy choices, they are still learning what their family values and what healthy behavior looks like. Backlash is not necessarily evidence that you are doing something wrong. Making a change can disrupt established family or social patterns. Resistance may simply reflect that the new behavior is unfamiliar or that it challenges what others are accustomed to doing. Consistency creates a future roadmap. When health becomes personally meaningful to the people watching us, they may remember the lessons they once resisted and finally know where to begin. HOW CAN WE IMPLEMENT THE IDEAS FROM CLIP 2? First, connect your choices to a clear personal reason. When you understand why you are exercising, eating differently, or protecting your health, other people's opinions are less likely to pull you off course. For me, these habits help me think more clearly and feel better. They also allow me to take greater ownership of my energy and performance. Second, expect some resistance. When you change a familiar pattern, the people around you may feel confused, defensive, or inconvenienced. Prepare for that response without automatically interpreting it as failure. Third, be yourself instead of constantly trying to persuade other people. Continue preparing healthy meals, exercising, recovering, and making intentional choices. Allow others to observe your consistency, energy, and results. Fourth, share with others your results, but don't expect them to join you. You can explain why a choice matters to you while giving other people the time and space to make their own decisions. Fifth, avoid turning food into a battle—especially with children. Provide healthy options, explain their purpose (food as fuel) and allow some flexibility. This took me some time. When our girls were teenagers, I eventually took them through a fast food window, but made them place their own order. Sixth, focus on what you can control. You cannot control whether someone follows your example. You can control the example you provide. Seventh, recognize small signs of influence. Someone asking a question, trying one healthy food, joining you for a walk, or remembering something you said may be enough evidence that the lesson has made an impact on them. Eating was one area where I eventually saw that I had influenced my immediate family—but it took years for that influence to become visible. Exercise was another. I have always been a regular hiker, and I took my daughters onto the trails almost as soon as they were old enough to go outside with me. For years, we hiked Camelback Mountain together during their spring break. Then one day, they came to me and said, “We aren't going hiking anymore.” When I asked why, they told me that there was almost nothing they hated more than hiking. I wasn't upset about their choice to boycott the trails. I could hike or run on my own, which I often preferred. But I wondered why they didn't enjoy the mountains or being outside. Years later, my oldest daughter began hiking with her friends and asked whether she could buy a pair of hiking shoes. I wanted to ask, “Why? I thought you hated hiking.” But I realized that all those years on the trails had not been wasted. She had been taking in the experience. She simply wanted to experience the trails with her friends as a teenager—and that made complete sense. This brings us back to Jason's central message: The people around you are taking notes. They may not use those notes today. But when change becomes relevant or necessary, your example may help them know where to begin. Push through the backlash—not by arguing with others, but by staying steady enough for your actions to speak loud and clear for you. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION To review and conclude Episode 407, Jason Wittrock's message gives us two important lessons. The first is about learning to listen to our own bodies. Jason encourages us to move away from the belief that one perfect formula, calorie target, or macronutrient ratio will work for everyone. Tracking can teach us valuable information, especially in the beginning. But the goal is not to remain trapped inside a spreadsheet. The goal is to use what we learn to recognize the foods and habits that help us feel nourished, satisfied, energized, and capable of performing at our best. Begin with food quality. Notice your hunger and fullness cues. Observe your energy, focus, mood, digestion, and physical performance. Experiment carefully. Let the data inform you without allowing it to control you. Jason's second lesson is about the influence of our example. When we change our habits, not everyone around us will understand. Some people may question our choices. Others may resist them. Our children, partners, friends, or colleagues may not see the value in what we are doing because the need for change has not yet become personal to them. But they are still taking notes. This may be the most meaningful part of revisiting this interview almost six years later. At the time, I could not see whether the choices I was making were influencing my family. I could only continue doing what I believed was right. Years later, the evidence appeared. My daughters remembered. They began making some of those choices for themselves—not because I forced them to, but because the example was available when they were ready to use it. This brings us back to the central pathway of Phase 3: Movement creates the stimulus. Recovery creates the capacity to respond. Adaptation is the change that follows. And improved performance is the result. But this episode reminds us that movement is only one of the signals shaping adaptation. Nutrition matters. Sleep matters. Recovery matters. Consistency matters. And the environments and examples surrounding us matter. In a HUGE way! The brain and body adapt to what we repeatedly do—not merely to what we intend to do occasionally. If there is one action I hope you take from this episode, it is to choose one habit you can practice consistently enough for it to become part of who you are. It might be improving one meal. It might be slowing down and tasting your food. It might be paying attention to genuine hunger and fullness. It might be drinking water instead of automatically reaching for a snack. It might be walking, strength training, sleeping longer, or giving your body the recovery it needs to adapt. Choose one action. Observe how your body responds. Adjust what does not work. And repeat what does. This is how we move from information to implementation—and from implementation to adaptation. I'll also connect this episode to a couple others that were important at the time I interviewed Jason. EP 51[iv] was with Kelly Schmidt, my own athletic trainer who taught me how to meal prep. EP 90[v] was focused on health and wellness with Luke DePron, who was the fitness trainer who taught me to always have celery and carrots in the fridge. EP 160[vi] was with Chrissy Barth, a Functional Sports Registered Dietician who offered some great advice for fueling athletes. Many of the interviews in 2020 were focused on health and wellness and are great places to review. Health and wellness does go through different phases, but many of them remain constant. Exercise and eating healthy never goes out of style. As we bring today's conversation to a close, we are not quite finished with Phase 3. Before we move forward, we have one final step: integration. Our next Episode 408, From Movement to Performance: What We Learned About Building Capacity, we will bring together the major ideas we have explored throughout Phase 3: Movement, Learning, and Cognition. We'll examine how movement prepares the brain to learn, how attention opens the gate to encoding, how recovery allows adaptation to occur, and how our daily habits influence our long-term capacity to learn, perform, and remain healthy. Episode 408 will help us connect these individual pieces into one complete pathway: Movement creates readiness. Readiness supports attention. Attention opens the gate to learning. Recovery enables adaptation. And adaptation builds the capacity for sustained performance. With that final integration, we will bring Phase 3 to a close—and prepare to take the next step in our journey. Because human performance does not happen in isolation. Once we have strengthened our individual capacity—our ability to move, focus, learn, recover, and adapt—we must ask what happens when that brain and body encounter another person. How do we perceive someone else? How does that perception create an affective response within the body? How do those internal signals become emotions? And how do those emotions influence trust, communication, connection, belonging, leadership, and performance? That is where we are going in Phase 4: Perception, Emotion, and Social Intelligence. We will follow a new pathway: Perception leads to affect. Affect contributes to emotion. Emotion influences mindsight. Mindsight shapes relationships. And relationships create—or disrupt—the belonging and psychological safety required for people to learn, lead, and perform at their best. Phase 3 has helped us understand how to build the capacity of the individual brain and body. Phase 4 will ask what happens when that brain and body enter a relationship with another human being. Because we do not simply respond to the world as it is. We respond to the world as we perceive it. And that perception shapes nearly everything that follows. Thank you for continuing this journey with me. I'll see you next time for our final Phase 3 integration episode, From Movement to Performance: What We Learned About Building Capacity—before we begin Phase 4 and explore how perception shapes our emotions, our relationships, and the impact we create in the world.

Last time, we built Wizards who could survive long enough to become dangerous. That was apparently a mistake. Treantmonk is back as we take our 2014 D&D 5e Wizard builds from level 8 all the way to 20, where spell selection stops being a question of how to win a fight and becomes a question of how creatively we would like to ruin reality. Tyler is operating his floating spellbook like a magical Predator drone. Ash has discovered Bigby's Hand and immediately found exactly the wrong way to describe it. Randall continues turning Magic Missile into a personal philosophy. And Chris is here trying to explain responsible Wizard optimization while the rest of us draft spells specifically to hurt each other's feelings. By the time we reach ninth-level spells, Wish almost goes undrafted. That sentence alone should tell you how this episode goes. Welcome back to the RPGBOT.Podcast. We made it to level 20, nobody died, and reality is now more of a suggestion than a rule. Treantmonk on YouTube Content from RPGBOT DnD 5e Wizard Handbook DnD e Wizard Spells Guice Show Notes Treantmonk returns for Part 2 and the conclusion of our 2014 D&D 5e Wizard optimization builds, picking up at level 8 and taking our Wizards all the way to level 20. At this point, the training wheels are gone. Fifth-level spells bring Wall of Force, Bigby's Hand, Wall of Stone, and increasingly aggressive spell drafting. By sixth level, the choices get even nastier, and picking the right spell becomes almost as important as making sure someone else doesn't get it first. Contingency gets selected partly because it is useful and partly because denying Tyler something he wants is apparently a valid optimization strategy. That pretty much sets the tone for the rest of the episode. As our D&D 5e Wizard builds move into the high levels, each character leans harder into their particular brand of nonsense. Ash embraces illusions, confusion, and magical hands. Randall continues finding ways to make Magic Missile everybody else's problem. Treantmonk builds around control, restraint, and smart high-level Wizard spell selection. Tyler keeps sending his Manifest Mind into places he absolutely does not intend to visit personally. Then we reach seventh, eighth, and ninth-level Wizard spells, where things get properly ridiculous. Maze, Sunburst, Demiplane, Foresight, Shapechange, Power Word Kill, Meteor Swarm, and Wish all enter the conversation as the builds start moving from battlefield control into reality control. And somehow Wish almost doesn't get picked. We also get into one of the most interesting parts of high-level 5e Wizard optimization: Spell Mastery. Unlimited access to carefully chosen first and second-level spells opens up some disgusting combinations, especially when Shield, Web, Tasha's Mind Whip, Vortex Warp, Phantasmal Force, and other low-level favorites no longer need spell slots. Finally, we hit level 20 and Signature Spells, where everyone chooses their third-level favorites and collectively realizes that the Wizard's actual capstone might not feel nearly as exciting as what they received two levels earlier. After two episodes of ability scores, feats, subclasses, Wizard spell selection, optimization, and increasingly questionable tactical decisions, our Treantmonk Wizard builds are complete. The Wizards have reached level 20. The spellbooks are full.The laws of physics have filed a formal complaint. Key Takeaways High-level Wizard optimization is less about dealing more damage and more about having exactly the right tool when everything goes wrong. Spell selection gets increasingly competitive as the builds advance. There are plenty of good Wizard spells, but everyone starts wanting the same exceptional ones. Wall of Force remains exactly the kind of spell an optimized Wizard hates leaving on the table. If nobody else takes it, somebody eventually has to. Sixth-level spells show just how different optimized Wizards can become. Mental Prison, Contingency, Mass Suggestion, Disintegrate, and other options push each build further into its own playstyle. High-level D&D 5e Wizards stop merely controlling encounters and start controlling circumstances. Maze, Demiplane, Shapechange, Foresight, Wish, and similar spells fundamentally change what the party can accomplish. Wish is incredibly powerful, but the discussion with Treantmonk highlights the practical problem with having nearly every lower-level spell available on demand: you still need to remember those spells exist when you actually need them. Spell Mastery may be one of the strongest pieces of the entire Wizard class. Turning excellent first and second-level Wizard spells into effectively unlimited resources creates some absurd possibilities. Shield becomes even more ridiculous when you can cast it without spending spell slots, especially if Randall is nearby with Magic Missile and bad intentions. At level 20, Signature Spells are useful, but after getting Spell Mastery at level 18 they do not exactly feel like the grand finale of becoming one of the most powerful spellcasters in Dungeons & Dragons. The biggest lesson from the complete Treantmonk Wizard build is that there is no single correct way to optimize a 2014 D&D 5e Wizard. Control, illusions, damage, summons, utility, mobility, and general magical nonsense can all work if the spell choices support the character you actually want to play. And if all else fails, become a Wizard with a remote-controlled spellbook, hide around a corner, and make the dungeon somebody else's problem. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

TakeawaysA national monument designation can leave ranchers in limbo for years. Chris Heaton explains how a 2023 proclamation listing drainages and grasslands as protected "objects" left his family unable to get straight answers on maintaining stock ponds or adding new water improvements.The Heatons' federal lawsuit with Pacific Legal Foundation was dismissed for lack of standing, but they are weighing a refile or an appeal, and their bigger goal is to fix the Antiquities Act so no president can lock up millions of acres on their own.Submitting your story to the USDA lawfare portal can lead somewhere. The Heatons filled it out with low expectations and were invited to Washington, D.C., where they met with Secretary Brooke Rollins and her team and told their story at a press event and on News Nation.Summary of the EpisodeIn this episode of The Heart of Rural America, host Amanda Radke welcomes back Chris and Cassie Heaton, sixth-generation cattle ranchers who live in Kanab, Utah, and run a cow-calf operation on the Arizona Strip, just north of the Grand Canyon. When they first joined the show, a federal national monument designation was putting their grazing and water rights at risk. This time they share what has happened since, from a federal lawsuit to a trip to the nation's capital.Chris walks through how the designation unfolded, starting with public hearings in Flagstaff and Kingman in 2023 and the decision to exclude their private ground from the final monument. He explains why the proclamation worries him: it lists drainages and grasslands as objects to protect, their stock ponds sit inside those drainages, and the Department of the Interior told him that what they can and cannot do is up to interpretation. With help from Pacific Legal Foundation, the Heatons sued in February 2024. The case was recently dismissed for lack of standing, and they are now working with their legal team on whether to refile or appeal, with the ultimate goal of fixing the Antiquities Act.After the change in administration, the Heatons submitted their story through the USDA lawfare portal, not expecting a response. At the end of June, Secretary Rollins' office invited them to Washington, and on July 1 they met with the Secretary, her team, and Representative Eli Crane, shared their story at a press event, and appeared on News Nation. Amanda shares her own experience at the White House supper honoring farmers and ranchers, and her fight against a carbon pipeline near her ranch, as she and the Heatons talk about why speaking up matters even when it is uncomfortable.Presented by Bid on Beef | CK6 Consulting | CK6 Source | Real Tuff Livestock Equipment | Redmond RealSalt | Dirt Road Radio | All American Angus Beef | Radke Land & CattleUse code RADKE for $10 off your next All American Angus Beef order at www.BidOnBeef.comSave on Redmond Real Salt with code RADKE at https://shop.redmondagriculture.com/Check out Amanda's agricultural children's books here: https://amandaradke.com/collections/amandas-booksLearn more about Bulletproofing Your Direct-To-Consumer Beef Enterprise: https://amandaradke.com/products/bulletproof-your-beef-businessResources for producers: the USDA Law Fair website and americanlandandlegacy.org
The Pentagon has released its sixth tranche of records under the PURSUE initiative, revealing an unusual collection of UAP-related material spanning more than seven decades of American military and intelligence history. From newly released historical records involving former Project Blue Book chief Edward J. Ruppelt to documents produced under the Defense Intelligence Agency's secretive AAWSAP program—including studies involving warp drives, wormholes, and reported biological effects associated with anomalous aerospace encounters—the files offer a remarkable glimpse into the government's evolving interest in UFOs and advanced aerospace technologies. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine what the Pentagon's latest files actually reveal, including what is genuinely new in the latest release, what has been publicly available before, and what these records can tell us about more than 70 years of government efforts to understand unexplained phenomena in the skies.

James Marten on “The Sixth Wisconsin and the Long Civil War” for more info: www.chicagocwrt.org As one of the original regiments in the Iron Brigade, the Sixth Wisconsin fought in virtually all of the major campaigns of the Army of the Potomac from Second Bull Run through Appomattox, from the Cornfield at Antietam and the Unfinished Railroad Cut at Gettysburg through the confusing bloodbath of the Wilderness and the frustrating siege at Petersburg. After the war veterans struggled with the aftermaths of wounds and disease, commemorated their contributions, and remembered their fallen comrades. Prof. Marten's talk will sample the war-time and post-war experiences of volunteers like Rufus Dawes, Captain of Company K and future commander of the Sixth, as well as draftees like Gottlieb Torke, one of hundreds of mostly German-immigrants who finished the war. James Marten is professor of history emeritus at Marquette University, where he taught for thirty-six years. He is author, editor, or co-editor, of two dozen books, including The Children's Civil War, Sing Not War: The Lives of Union and Confederate Veterans in Gilded Age America, and his latest, The Sixth Wisconsin and the Long Civil War: The Biography of a Regiment. He was president of the Society of Civil War Historians from 2013 to 2015.
In Part 6 of The Negative Image series, Pastor Ryan and Sarah unpack Islamic prophecies regarding the Muslim Mahdi and examine how they intersect with biblical end-times prophecy. This episode focuses on Checkbox 14, which highlights the ancient Islamic prophecy recorded in texts like al-Mahdi, predicting that a "star with a luminous tail" (a comet) would rise in the eastern sky prior to the emergence of the Mahdi.The hosts discuss the fulfillment of this sign through Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (Su Chin Shan) in October 2024, including its observation at sunrise in the eastern sky over Egypt by renowned astrophotographer Osama Fathi, just months before Our Guy's emergence in Mecca on February 3, 2025. The episode also recaps Checkbox 13 (the 2024 Ramadan double eclipse), addresses the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and Al-Qaeda's Al-Aqsa fatwa, explores AI in relation to the Image of the Beast in Revelation 13, and refutes pre-tribulation rapture misconceptions.Books: These Final Days (Parts 1, 2, and 3) by Pastor Ryan (Available on Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible).Website & Checkbox Chart: thesefinaldays.orgCONNECT WITH THESE FINAL DAYSWebsite: thesefinaldays.orgSubscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheseFinalDaysTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thesefinaldaysFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesefinaldays X: https://x.com/TheseFinalDays

Speaking to Breakfast with Martin Bester this morning, national police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe confirmed that the police service is concerned that more bodies could potentially be discovered as investigators work to establish whether the deaths of five women in Ekurhuleni are connected. “It's a big concern and we are hoping that we won't get more bodies. The team is on the ground. We've got a multidisciplinary team consisting of experts. We've got tracking teams on the ground, we've got our criminologists who form part of our investigative psychology unit. We also have psychologists on the ground trying to study the behaviour of each, you know, case.” This was moments before it was confirmed that a sixth woman's body had been discovered in Kwa-Thema, Springs. It is the sixth woman's body found in Ekurhuleni in the past two months, but there is not yet any confirmation that the latest discovery is connected to any of the other cases.

The North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services -- the largest line item in our state's budget -- has seen a lot of change in recent years. The newest leader of that agency recognizes it, and wants to change the trajectory. "I am the sixth person in three years to be sitting in this job," Conner Swanson, who was appointed to the position by Gov. Kelly Armstrong on August 13, told us on this episode of Plain Talk. "So, I do understand to your point that there has been some turnover here and it is a big job. But I think the thing that I'm ready to bring is some stability for folks here." One of the first big hurdles he has to get over is meeting a call for 10% reductions in state budgets from the boss. Swanson said part of that will be a "back to basics" approach. "I think sometimes, in especially with this agency and how large it is, is people want us to be everything to everybody. And if you try to be everything to everybody, you're not good at much," he said. "So what we need to do is really focus on what are the core services that we need to provide." But even as there's a push to bring budgets down to something sustainable, there's also demand for services. A waitlist for a childcare program, the result of a dramatic underestimation in demand for it, was the subject of some consternation during the recent special legislative session, which ultimately didn't take the issue up. Swanson points out that the state has nearly quadrupled its outlays for childcare in recent years. "We have increased childcare funding since 2021. It was gone from about 30 million to now 115 million. So when we talk about this, we have increased the child care funding in the CCAP program by a lot and we have covered a lot of families," he said, referring to the Child Care Assistance Program. When pressed about the shortfall in meeting demand for child care assistance, Swanson said the shortfall is smaller than what's been reported -- $36 million instead of $100 million -- and that we need to zoom out a bit to consider our approach to the challenge. He argued that solving childcare requires looking beyond government subsidies to examine licensing regulations, ensuring government isn't being overly burdensome on providers while still protecting children and maintaining quality care. Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I assess the outcomes from the special session, discuss some crude comments from Democratic-NPL party chairman Adam Goldwyn, and take some feedback from a listener struggling with gambling addiction.

The North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services -- the largest line item in our state's budget -- has seen a lot of change in recent years. The newest leader of that agency recognizes it, and wants to change the trajectory. "I am the sixth person in three years to be sitting in this job," Conner Swanson, who was appointed to the position by Gov. Kelly Armstrong on August 13, told us on this episode of Plain Talk. "So, I do understand to your point that there has been some turnover here and it is a big job. But I think the thing that I'm ready to bring is some stability for folks here." One of the first big hurdles he has to get over is meeting a call for 10% reductions in state budgets from the boss. Swanson said part of that will be a "back to basics" approach. "I think sometimes, in especially with this agency and how large it is, is people want us to be everything to everybody. And if you try to be everything to everybody, you're not good at much," he said. "So what we need to do is really focus on what are the core services that we need to provide." But even as there's a push to bring budgets down to something sustainable, there's also demand for services. A waitlist for a childcare program, the result of a dramatic underestimation in demand for it, was the subject of some consternation during the recent special legislative session, which ultimately didn't take the issue up. Swanson points out that the state has nearly quadrupled its outlays for childcare in recent years. "We have increased childcare funding since 2021. It was gone from about 30 million to now 115 million. So when we talk about this, we have increased the child care funding in the CCAP program by a lot and we have covered a lot of families," he said, referring to the Child Care Assistance Program. When pressed about the shortfall in meeting demand for child care assistance, Swanson said the shortfall is smaller than what's been reported -- $36 million instead of $100 million -- and that we need to zoom out a bit to consider our approach to the challenge.

As ballots start to hit mailboxes ahead of the November midterms, Democrats are finally feeling some long-awaited electoral optimism. But to build a coalition that can defeat MAGA politics for good, the party will have to win back voters it's lost. In her new book, “How to Eat An Elephant,” Sarah Longwell, founder and publisher of The Bulwark, gives readers a blueprint to do just that. In a live conversation recorded at Sixth & I in downtown Washington, D.C., Kara and Sarah talk about the hundreds of voter focus groups Sarah's conducted since President Trump first won the White House a decade ago, how Trump convinced swing voters he was the “lesser of two evils” in 2024, and why she thinks Democrats need a stronger message on immigration. Sarah also offers her opinion on which Democrats are — and are not — best positioned to win the White House in 2028. Questions? Comments?

In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshipped.The story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible. Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.' (Deut. 18:17-18).In this study I continue in Exodus Chapter 12 verse 4 Chapter 12Verses 1 – 20 The Passover InstitutedVerses 21 – 28 The Passover CommunicatedVerse 31 – 14:31 Yahweh's Deliverance of IsraelVerse OutlineVerses 1-2 = MonthVerses 3-11 = The SymbolVerses 12-13 = The Signification and ReasonVerses 14-17 = The SymbolVerses 17 = The Signification and ReasonVerses 18-20 = The Month The Institution of the PassoverThe deliverance from Egypt [which is symbolic of bondage] is to be not only from physical but also from spiritual slavery. Israel [whom El commands or rules] is to be freed from all heathen influences and consecrated to the service of Yahweh. These commandments concerning Passover open the religious legislation of the Torah. The occasion when they were given and the manner in which they were enjoined emphasize the basic importance of that Festival in the life and history of Israel. The Exodus from Egypt is not only one of the greatest events and epochs in the history of the Jews, but one of the greatest events and epochs in the history of the world. This Exodus proves without a shadow of doubt that Yahweh is the most powerful Creator throughout the world, has He defeated all the gods of the Egyptians. 4 If the household be too little = That is, if there be not persons enough in one family to eat a whole lamb, then two families must join together. The rabbis claim that there should be at least ten persons to one paschal lamb, and not more than twenty. Josephus tells us in “The Wars of the Jews”, Book 6 Chapter 9, Section 3, “from the ninth hour till the eleventh, but so that a company not less than ten belong to every sacrifice [for it is not lawful for them to feast to themselves], and many of us are twenty in a company etc. Side note: this number of a company for one Passover lamb, between ten and twenty, agrees exactly with the number thirteen, at our Saviors last Passover.5 Without blemish = Having no natural imperfection, no disease, no deficiency or redundancy of parts. On this point the rabbis have trifled most bizarre, calculating fifty blemishes that make a lamb or kid, or any animal, improper to be sacrificed: five in the ear, three in the eyelid, eight in the eye, three in the nose, six in the mouth, etc., etc.A male of the first year = That is, any age in the first year between eight days and twelve months. The Rabbis take this to mean within the first year of its birth. ‘This tender age, the type of innocence, made it peculiarly adapted for a sacrifice of the Covenant to be concluded between Elohim and Israel as a nation.'From the sheep, or from the goats = The שה seh means either; and either was equally proper if without blemish. The Hebrews however in general preferred the lamb to the kid.6 The whole assembly - shall kill it = Any person might kill the lamb, the sacrificial act in this case not being confined to the priests.In the evening = בין הערבים beyn haarbayim, “between the two evenings.” The Jews divided the day into morning and evening: till the sun passed the meridian all was morning or before-noon; after that, all was afternoon or evening. Their first evening began just after twelve o'clock, and continued till sunset; their second evening began at sunset and continued till night, i.e., during the whole time of twilight; between twelve o'clock, therefore, and the termination of twilight, the Passover was to be offered.“The day among the Jews had twelve hours, John 11:9. Their first hour was about six o'clock in the morning with us. Their sixth hour was our noon. Their ninth hour answered to our three o'clock in the afternoon. By this we may understand that the time in which the Messiah was crucified began at the third hour, that is, at nine o'clock in the morning, the ordinary time for the daily morning sacrifice, and ended at the ninth hour, that is, three o'clock in the afternoon, the time of the evening sacrifice, Mark 15:25, 33, 34, 37. Therefore their ninth hour was their hour of prayer, when they used to go into the temple at the daily evening sacrifice, Acts 3:1; and this was the ordinary time for the Passover. It is worthy of remark that Yahweh sets no particular hour for the killing of the Passover: any time between the two evenings, i.e., between twelve o'clock in the day and the termination of twilight, was lawful. The daily sacrifice (see Exo. 29:38, 39) was killed at half past the eighth hour, that is, half an hour Before three in the afternoon; and it was offered up at half past the ninth hour, that is, half an hour After three. In the evening of the Passover it was killed at half past the seventh hour, and offered at half past the eighth, that is, half an hour Before three: and if the evening of the Passover fell on the evening of the Sabbath, it was killed at half past the Sixth hour, and offered at half past the Seventh, that is, half an hour Before two in the afternoon. The reason of this was, they were first obliged to kill the daily sacrifice, and then to kill and roast the paschal lamb, and also to rest the evening before the Passover. Agreeably to this Maimonides says ‘the killing of the Passover is after mid-day, and if they kill it before it is not lawful; and they do not kill it till after the daily evening sacrifice, and burning of incense: and after they have trimmed the lamps they begin to kill the paschal lambs until the end of the day.' By this time of the day Elohim foreshowed the sufferings of Yahshua Messiah in the evening of times or in the last days, Hebrews 1:2; 1Peter 1:19, 20 : and about the same time of the day, when the paschal lamb ordinarily died, He died also, viz., at the ninth hour; Matthew 27:46-50.” Once again Josephus gives us an insight on this “The Wars of the Jews”, Book 6 Chapter 9, Section 3, ‘So these high priests, upon the coming of that feast which is called the Passover, when they slay their sacrifices, from the ninth hour till the eleventh, but so that a company not less than ten belong to every sacrifice, (for it is not lawful for them to feast singly by themselves,) and many of us are twenty in a company, found the number of sacrifices was two hundred and fifty-six thousand five hundred; which, upon the allowance of no more than ten that feast together, amounts to two millions seven hundred thousand and two hundred persons that were pure and holy; for as to those that have the leprosy, or the gonorrhea, or women that have their monthly courses, or such as are otherwise polluted, it is not lawful for them to be partakers of this sacrifice; nor indeed for any foreigners neither, who come hither to worship.'7 take of the blood, and strike it on the two side-posts, etc. = as a sign of safety to those within. The posts must be considered of tents, in which the Israelites generally lived, though some might be in houses. Though the Israelites were sinners as well as the Egyptians, Elohim was pleased to accept the substitution of a lamb - the blood of which, being seen sprinkled, by using a bunch of hyssop dipped in the lamb's blood, on the doorposts, procured them mercy. It was to be on the side posts and upper doorposts, where it might be looked to, not on the threshold, where it might be trodden under foot. This was an emblem of the blood of sprinkling (Hebrews 12:24; 10:29).8 and they shall eat = ‘'âkal' ‘‘aw-kal'' aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderKaph = (open palm) bend, open, allow, tame lamed – (shepherd staff), teach, yoke, to bindAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossThe Hebrew Letter ‘kaph' is a picture of the bent palm representing the bending or subduing of the will, the Hebrew Letter ‘lamed' is a picture of a shepherd staff or yoke. Combined these mean "tame for the yoke". An animal or land that is tamed has been worked and is complete and ready for use. Taming include; construction of holding pens, putting the soil to the plow, harvesting of crops, milk or meat. One eats once the harvest is complete. Spiritually speaking we are not talking about any type of flesh. By adding the ‘eth' we are looking forward to the time when the true Passover Lamb will lay down His life for you and I. By partaking in the eating and drinking of the bread and wine.Have any questions? Feel free to email me keitner2024@outlook.com

Kelly sits down with Jim Collins—the bestselling author behind business classics Good to Great and Built to Last—for a live conversation recorded on stage at Sixth & I in Washington, D.C., about his new book, What to Make of a Life. For over a decade, Collins studied 34 exceptional people, from astronauts to Supreme Court justices to rock stars, matching them into pairs who faced the same defining turning point in life and tracing how each person navigated what came after. They talk about the "cliff" moments that split a life in two, the disorienting fog that always follows, and why the advice we get from people who love us often says more about them than it does about us. It's a conversation about trusting the parts of yourself that don't come with a plan, and why some of the most meaningful chapters of a life can show up decades later than expected.

Series - An Exposition of Exodus Text - Exodus 9:1-12 by Nick Neves, pastor | Midweek Service | 8.19.26
Your grief is not the thing keeping you stuck. Running from it is. David Kessler spent years working alongside Elisabeth Kubler-Ross before everything he taught got tested against his own life, when his son died unexpectedly and the grief expert became the one who needed help. He talks about sitting in a grief group with his own books on the table and still not being able to say the words out loud. About discovering there is a stage past acceptance, one built on meaning instead of just getting through it. You will hear why anger is often just pain wearing a disguise, why your triggers are actually a map back to what needs healing, and why the people who seem to have it all together are usually the ones running the hardest. This conversation will change how you think about every hard thing you have survived and every hard thing still ahead.
