In this hard-hitting throwback episode of The Unapologetic Man Podcast, host Mark Sing breaks down one of his most effective methods for creating a seamless, natural first kiss, the Slide and Kiss Method. This strategy is designed for moments where attraction is clearly present, but the kiss hasn't happened organically yet, and you need to confidently lead things forward without killing the vibe. Mark explains why the first kiss should feel spontaneous and memorable, how to properly read a woman's signals before escalating, and why men must lead while still calibrating to her level of interest. Using real-world experience, humor, and step-by-step instruction, he walks you through exactly how to execute this method in a way that feels confident, masculine, and smooth, while still allowing room to abort if the timing isn't right. Key Takeaways: - How to recognize clear signs that a woman wants to be kissed. - The step-by-step breakdown of Mark's patented Slide and Kiss Method. - How to recover smoothly if your timing is off. - Why women act as the "barometer" for escalation and timing.

THE PERSONAL RULE OF CHARLES I AND THE SLIDE TOWARD REBELLION Colleague Jonathan Healey. Tensions rise as lawyer Edward Coke champions the Petition of Right against Charles I's arbitrary imprisonment and taxation. After the Duke of Buckingham is assassinated by a disillusioned soldier, Charles dissolves Parliament in 1629, beginning a decade of "personal rule." He levies controversial taxes like "ship money," which judges uphold, fearing the public. Religious rigidness led by Archbishop Laud and the ruthless administration of the Earl of Strafford alienate the populace. Charles's attempt to impose a new prayer book on Scotland triggers a rebellion, causing his control over England to collapse. NUMBER 31680 CHARLES II

So who should actually pay on a date, and what are you meant to do when the bill arrives and someone suddenly gets a bit weird about it. This week’s Friday Drinks tackles a DM from someone newly back in the dating world who’s trying to work out whether she’s being too picky, or whether she’s just finally noticing the stuff she used to brush past, like the keeping score, the silence that feels like a test, and the little gold digger jokes that aren’t really jokes. We talk through what’s a fair preference, what’s an early warning sign, and how to be clear about your money values without turning dinner into a negotiation, and we asked the community what they think is normal early on because honestly the answers are revealing. We're also talking bridging loans, which always sound simple until you’re the one trying to buy before you sell and you realise how much of it comes down to timing, pressure, and having a plan if things don’t happen as quickly as you hoped. Victoria breaks down what they actually are, when they can make sense, and where the risk really sits, and as always we’ve got community money wins and broke tips that are both useful and unhinged at the same time.

The way you've been setting personal goals is the very thing holding you back from living your biggest life. It's time to ditch the SMART framework and finally create goals that align with the woman you're becoming.Episode Summary:In this week's fiery episode, Laurie dismantles one of the most overused—and misused—tools in personal development: the SMART goal framework. You've been told to make your goals specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. But when it comes to midlife transformation and building your actual BEST LIFE? That framework might be doing more harm than good.Laurie explains why applying a corporate goal-setting system to your deeply personal hopes, dreams, and desires keeps you stuck in external validation and false deadlines. She dives into why midlife is the exact moment to let go of achievable, "relevant," and time-bound goals—and finally start designing your own definition of success.You'll learn:Why throwaway goals feel good—but don't change your lifeHow focusing on what's “achievable” shrinks your visionWhy setting personal goals based on relevance is total BSThe sneaky toxicity of arbitrary deadlinesHow to shift from performance-driven goals to purpose-driven dreamsShe also introduces the BEST LIFE™ framework—a game-changing, trademarked system she uses with all her coaching clients to move from burnout to breakthrough.If 2026 is the year you finally start living for you, this episode is a must-listen.Resources Mentioned:Click here to learn more about 1:1 or group coachingFollow Laurie on Instagram: @schoolofmidlifeTake the Conversation Deeper:Laurie wants to hear from YOU.

If you’ve ever thought you should see a financial advisor, but also wondered if it's a now or later thing… this one’s for you. We’re chatting about that stage so many of us sit in. You want to do the right thing with your money, but you’re not sure whether a financial advisor makes sense for your current situation. We talk through when financial advice can really help, when it’s probably not necessary, and the other ways you can get clarity without spending a small fortune. Then things turn into a moral mine field... What do you do when you’re watching a situation unfold that doesn’t sit right with you, and you don’t actually have the authority to fix it? This week we dive into a DM from someone who’s deeply worried about a dog that’s been injured, emergency care paid for, but follow-up vet visits that keep getting pushed back. It opens up a really uncomfortable conversation about caring more than the person responsible, where the line is between helping and overstepping, and how hard it is to sit with concern when the final decision isn’t yours. Plus, as always, we’ve got community money wins, broke tips that are actually useful, and the kind of Friday chat that reminds you you’re not alone in any of this.$10 meals with Chelsea: Visit her website here and listen to her episode with us here.

Many presentations fall apart not because the ideas are weak, but because the slides are doing too much at once. When a single slide contains multiple messages, charts, or competing points, the audience stops listening and starts decoding. In this episode, I explain why the "one idea per slide" principle is so effective—and why it's one of the fastest ways to improve clarity in presentations. You'll learn what "one idea" actually means, how strong sentence-based titles do most of the work, and how to use visuals that reinforce your message rather than compete with it. The episode also covers where detailed analysis belongs (the appendix) and how to use the three-second Glance Test to ensure your slides support your voice, not replace it. If you want your slide decks to feel calmer, clearer, and more persuasive, this episode offers a simple rule that makes a big difference.

It's Tuesday afternoon, and there's a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today's episode, the guys discussed the Oilers' struggling bottom six, Kasperi Kapanen's return, Trent Frederic and Andrew Mangiapane being healthy scratched, and much more.We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about what the Oilers can do to get more production out of their bottom six. Given that players like Mangiapane, Frederic, and Henrique haven't scored nearly as much as we'd hope, the question was how the team can get more out of them without just trading someone away. Whether it's giving these guys a defined role or keeping them as healthy scratches, the boys tried their best to figure out a problem the coaches have struggled with all season. Changing gears, we looked at Kasperi Kapanen's return to the lineup and how having him back in the mix gives Kris Knoblauch more line combo options to play with. Given that Kapanen has missed the bulk of the season, it's going to be interesting to see how long he lasts beside Leon Draisaitl, since it's probably going to take a minute for him to get going. The guys also spent some time looking at Andrew Mangiapane and Trent Frederic as healthy scratches and what the decision means for both players moving forward. Finally, we wrapped up the episode of ONR with a round of Dan's Game. Seeing as the boys are trying to keep things fresh, Dan wanted to whip something up for the boys to give the first show of the week a little bit of a different flavour. We can't have the quizmaster on call all the time, you know? Did Dan's game work? Will it replace BM's Trivia? You'll have to listen to find out for sure.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!Powered by @bet365.

Nora Szentivanyi is joined by Michael Hanson and Raphael Brun-Aguerre to discuss the 2026 inflation outlook and what we are learning from the latest CPI reports. Led by a sharp moderation in service price gains, global core (and headline) inflation slid to just 2.1%ar in the three months to November––a 1%-pt slide from August and its lowest in five years. This downward trajectory is once again raising the question of whether the disinflation trend will continue into the new year. As in the past two years, we downplay the slide and look for a rebound in core inflation to a 3.1%ar in 1H26––unchanged from where it has settled since early 2024. In the US, a reversal of the data distortions due to the government shutdown along with further tariff pass-through is set to push inflation higher in the near-term. In Europe, core inflation should continue to moderate in sympathy with softening wage inflation, though start-of-year price increases pose upside risks to service prices.

New year pressure can feel like another thing you're supposed to fix about yourself. This session flips that—it's not about becoming someone else. It's about getting clear on what actually matters to you, and using sound to help your nervous system settle enough to hear yourself think.What this session is:A founder-guided restorative audio session built around four resonant frequencies: C for grounding, A for inspiration, G for expression, and E for personal power. This is longer and more immersive than our standard tracks—it's active, not passive. You'll be invited to reflect, choose an intention, and let the sound help you regulate while you do it. The frequencies support nervous system coherence, which research suggests can help with focus, emotional clarity, and stress recovery. This isn't background noise—it's a practice.Best use moments:When you want to start the year (or month, or week) feeling centered instead of overwhelmedBefore a big decision or life transition when you need mental spaceAfter doomscrolling or social comparison spirals—when you need to reset your internal compassSunday night or Monday morning intention-setting instead of anxiety spiralsAnytime you're tired of performing productivity and want to reconnect with why you're doing any of thisWhen you need to hear yourself again underneath all the noiseHow to listen:Headphones strongly recommended—frequencies work better with stereo immersionFind a spot where you won't be interrupted; sit, lie down, or move gently if that helps you focusYou don't have to meditate perfectly—fidgeting, shifting, note-taking, and pausing are all fineSome people use this once to mark a moment; others return to it weekly or monthly as a check-in ritualIt's an invitation, not homework—use it when it serves youYou're already whole.

New year pressure can feel like another thing you're supposed to fix about yourself. This session flips that—it's not about becoming someone else. It's about getting clear on what actually matters to you, and using sound to help your nervous system settle enough to hear yourself think.What this session is:This restorative audio session built around four resonant frequencies: C for grounding, A for inspiration, G for expression, and E for personal power. This is longer and more immersive than our standard tracks—it's active, not passive. You'll be invited to reflect, choose an intention, and let the sound help you regulate while you do it.

[It’s winter break, and everything has come to a halt here, including podcasting. We’ll be back soon, promise!] Reddit's “Am I the Asshole?” makes us question everything Reddit's “AITA?” brings out the best and worst in people—and this week, we're analyzing some choice cases through the lens of med school. M1s Srishti Mathur, Sahana Sarin, Maria Schapfel, and Mahaasrei Ghosh debate whether people in these scenarios are truly in the wrong or just victims of someone having a very bad day. We break down the pressure on pre-meds and med students to do research, the value of publications, and the “gunner” mentality. Is bench research a necessary evil, or are pre-meds wasting their time? When is it appropriate to insist on being called ‘Doctor?' Is it okay to go nuclear to take someone down a notch when they need it? Is a degree in design and marketing as important as an MD? It's a chaotic mix of ethics, egos, and existential crises—so strap in. We Want to Hear From You: YOUR VOICE MATTERS! We welcome your feedback, listener questions, and shower thoughts.

2026 "has big shoes to fill" when it comes to the Big Tech front, says Kevin Hincks. He believes 2025's AI rally will face headwinds when it comes to matching gains, but tailwinds backing AI memory chip stocks like Micron (MU) prove tech has legs to run. One corner of the market potentially running out steam: the metals race between silver and gold. Kevin also discusses breaking news in Tesla's (TSLA) deliveries, which fell year-over-year. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Want 2026 to be the year you get your money on track? This ep is the perfect place to start. It’s our very first Friday Drinks of the year and instead of doing the usual wins and broke tips, we asked the community two big questions. What was your biggest money learning last year? And what small change did you make that had the biggest impact on your finances? The answers are the perfect inspo you need if you’re feeling like you want to do better this year but don’t want to overhaul your entire life to make it happen. Then we dive into two very January-coded situations... feeling overwhelmed about where to begin when you know you want more for yourself, and navigating what happens when your money goals start to evolve faster than the people around you. This episode is all about setting the tone for your best year yet, with all the usual Friday fun and chaos thrown in.

It's our biggest Friday Drinks of the year so we're throwing a party aka our year in review. The stats, the moments that surprised us, and the community wins that honestly deserve more airtime... and of course your favourite blooper reel. Plus we get into which is cheaper, building vs buying a home. Building can look cheaper, especially online, but the reality is a lot messier. We talk about where the costs sneak in, why timelines matter, and why this decision feels very different depending on where you live and what stage of life you’re in. And because it’s summer, we talk credit cards. Should you get one to get through the next few months? When does it help, and when does it just make things harder later? We walk through how to think about it without shame or scare tactics. Need the team’s take on your money dilemma?

One of 2025's most memorable images was of Silicon Valley's billionaire CEOs lined up in the front rows at President Donald Trump's inauguration. It was visual proof of the tech industry's embrace of MAGA's authoritarian-style of politics — one it has benefited from considerably over the last year. Author and neuroscientist Sam Harris has been using his podcast, “Making Sense,” to talk about the ways tech moguls are corroding our politics, and although he used to be close with some of them, he's become a vocal critic of their support for Trump. Kara and Sam talk about why he thinks the left is to blame for the tech billionaires' shift to the right, why all of us are bad at sorting through the glut of information we find online, and the potential risks that come with the Trump administration's hands-off approach to A.I. They also talk about what possible tech regulation could look like, and whether everyday people stand a chance against tech oligarchs and their platforms. (Please note: This interview was recorded before President Trump signed an executive order to block states from passing A.I. regulation.) Questions? Comments?

What if the most loving thing you could do for your child today is protect their right to play? In this landmark 650th episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with Heather Shumaker, author of the modern classic It's OK Not to Share, to talk about why childhood no longer feels like childhood and how we can change that. Together, Ginny and Heather paint a compelling vision of kids outside for hours, solving their own conflicts, learning impulse control while they wait for the truck or the swing, and discovering that deep, creative play (and not early academics) is what truly prepares them for life. If you've ever felt the pressure to enroll in one more class, push early reading, force sharing at the park, or make everyone “be friends,” this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. Heather gives you concrete scripts (what to say instead of “be nice,” “share,” or “say you're sorry”), shows why “play fighting” and chase games are often exactly what kids need, and shares the powerful toolbox behind her follow-up book It's OK to Go Up the Slide and her middle-grade novel The Griffins of Castle Cary. As we celebrate 650 episodes, Ginny invites you to join the mission: listen in, send this episode to a friend who's worried they're “behind” because their child just wants to play, and leave a podcast rating and review. Your share might be the nudge another parent needs to slow the schedule, protect those long, muddy hours outside, and finally believe: there will always be time for academics, but there won't always be time for play.
