Podcasts about slowing

Ahmed Riesgo doesn't see the demand for AI compute slowing down, telling clients he sees the tech pullbacks as opportunities. "The AI future has become cheaper for you," argues Ahmed, making the case it will only get cheaper the more this tech develops. He adds that unexpected earnings strength last quarter offer more muscle to Wall Street but warns not to expect that same outperformance this season. Ahmed turns to international headlines as the U.S. and Iran continue to clash over the Strait of Hormuz. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this episode, I'm joined by Jim Schleckser, founder and CEO of The CEO Project, to break down how CEOs identify and fix the real constraint in their business. We cover practical signals for finding the “kink in the hose,” including where inventory accumulates, cycle time slows, congestion builds, or customer complaints spike—and why top-performing CEOs consistently spend meaningful time at the constraint. Jim explains when the CEO becomes the bottleneck (as the constant decider or by staying stuck in a functional role) and shares his Five Hats framework: learner/analyst and player to find constraints, and architect, coach, and engineer to solve them through business design, talent, and systems. We also dig into why values and mission are part of the operating system, Jim's grounded view of AI as mostly augmentation amid hype, and what business types may be more resilient long term.01:25 Why Constraints Matter03:27 Finding the Business Kink04:51 When the CEO Is Bottleneck07:27 Five Hats Framework09:14 Design Talent Systems Fixes12:27 Big Model Shifts and Pivots13:24 Balancing CEO Hats Over Time13:59 Client Story Clairvoyant Service14:38 Firing Unprofitable Clients15:39 Small Shifts That Matter16:13 AI as Human Amplifier17:06 Hype Cycles and ROI18:39 Is AI Creating New Value21:18 Professional Services Pricing Shock22:29 Best Businesses in an AI Future24:46 Constraints Versus Opportunities25:19 CEO Surprises and AI DoomsdayConnect with Jim: • IG: @the_ceoproject• Twitter: @the_CEO_Project • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CEOProject • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimschleckser/ • Links: Podcast: https://theceoproject.com/the-podcast/ • Website: https://theceoproject.com/ and https://jimschleckser.com/great-ceos-are-lazy/Connect with Raul: • Work with Raul: https://dogoodwork.io• Free Growth Resources: https://dogoodwork.io/resources• Connect with Raul on LinkedIn (DMs open): https://www.linkedin.com/in/dogoodwork/

What if the biggest barrier to better customer service isn't how quickly employees work, but how much time they lose coordinating with everyone else? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Kevin Yang, Head of AI at Front, about why customer conversations are becoming a valuable source of business intelligence, how AI can improve work across entire teams rather than simply making individuals faster, and the hidden coordination costs affecting customer operations. Kevin brings a unique perspective to the conversation. Before joining Front following its acquisition of his AI voice-of-customer company, Syllable, he spent 15 years as an entrepreneur. While building an office food delivery business, he experienced firsthand how customer conversations could reveal problems that traditional surveys and dashboards failed to identify. By analyzing customer feedback at scale, his team could connect specific issues directly to retention, account growth, and referrals. Today, AI makes it possible for companies to analyze enormous volumes of customer conversations and turn unstructured feedback into intelligence that can inform decisions across product development, sales, marketing, and customer success. Kevin shares how Front analyzes conversations to understand why deals are lost, why customers leave, and which topics are associated with higher sales conversion rates. The result is a feedback loop that helps companies direct product investment toward problems customers genuinely care about while giving sales and marketing teams a clearer understanding of the conversations that influence buying decisions. But the episode also challenges the assumption that giving every employee an AI assistant will transform productivity. Front's Coordination Tax research found that teams can spend almost three hours coordinating work for every hour spent solving customer problems. When a single customer request requires input from sales, finance, support, operations, or external systems, employees can lose time to emails, Slack messages, meetings, handoffs, and information searches. Kevin explains why making one person faster does little to solve this problem if the rest of the workflow remains fragmented. The bigger opportunity is to use AI across end-to-end processes, automatically handling research and analysis while allowing people to concentrate on work requiring judgment, empathy, relationships, and human decision-making. We also discuss the growing use of AI agents in customer operations and why governance becomes harder as companies move from experimenting with one agent to managing many. Kevin outlines the need to measure whether agents follow processes correctly, understand customer satisfaction, identify where failures occur, and continuously improve the knowledge and guidance available to AI systems. For business and technology leaders considering where to apply AI, Kevin offers a practical starting point. Map the work your teams perform into three categories: tasks AI can automate, tasks AI can support with human review, and tasks that should remain human. This helps companies focus investment where AI performs well rather than forcing automation into customer interactions that depend on empathy, context, and relationships. For anyone responsible for customer experience, AI strategy, operations, or digital transformation, this conversation provides practical ideas for turning customer conversations into business intelligence, reducing coordination friction, designing better workflows, and introducing AI agents with greater visibility and oversight. The opportunity is not simply to make individuals work faster. It is to redesign how work moves across the organization so employees spend less time coordinating and more time solving the problems that matter to customers.

Why America's Skilled Labor Crisis Is Slowing Home ConstructionAmerica's housing shortage isn't simply a shortage of homes. It's also a shortage of the skilled workforce needed to build them.In this episode of Selling Sacramento, I explore one of the least discussed drivers of today's housing affordability crisis: the construction labor shortage that has been building since the Great Recession. While much of the national conversation focuses on housing supply, homes cannot be built without the electricians, framers, plumbers, roofers, concrete finishers, HVAC technicians, and other skilled tradespeople who bring them to life.In this episode, you'll learn:What happened to the construction workforce after the 2008 housing crash.Why many skilled tradespeople never returned.How labor shortages continue to affect the pace and cost of home construction.Why increasing housing supply requires more than land, financing, and government policy.What this means for California, Sacramento, and the future of housing affordability.If we're serious about solving America's housing shortage, we also have to solve the workforce shortage behind it.

This is Heather Hansman's third appearance on the podcast, and if you've been listening for a while, you know how much her work has shaped my own understanding of the West. Heather is an award-winning journalist and the author of "Downriver" and "Powder Days"—two books I reference constantly—and she's back today to talk about her brand-new book, Fierce Country: The Untold Story of Three Women Who Ignited America's Love for the Wild, which hits shelves the same day this episode is released. "Fierce Country" tells the stories of three women who were pivotal in shaping how we think about recreation and conservation today, yet whose stories have largely gone untold: Georgie White, one of the first Grand Canyon river guides; Anne LaBastille, an off-the-grid Adirondack guide and pioneering climate scientist; and Dolores LaChapelle, a legendary powder skier and environmental philosopher whose ideas helped launch the deep ecology movement. These are three complicated, larger-than-life characters, and Heather weaves their wild adventures together with her own personal story in a way that makes the book resonate no matter who you are. As always with Heather's work, it introduced me to ideas I didn't even know I needed to be thinking about. Heather and I talked about how she chose these three women and why their stories were left out of the history most of us learned, and we dug into some of the big ideas woven throughout the book—the heroine's journey versus the hero's journey, the superwoman myth, and the surprising research on men and women in outdoor sports. We discussed the double standards that outdoorswomen face, especially as parents, and the culture of harassment that unfortunately still exists in the outdoor world. We also chatted about Heather's recent investigative reporting on bots gaming the recreation.gov permit system, the importance of journalism and speaking truth to power, and how five years of living with these women's stories has changed the way Heather moves through the world. I loved this conversation, and I can't recommend "Fierce Country" highly enough—the book is out today, so be sure to click through to the episode notes and grab a copy. --- Heather Hansman Fierce Country: The Untold Story of Three Women Who Ignited America's Love for the Wild Heather's First and Second M&P episodes Full episode notes and links: mountainandprairie.com/heather-hansman-3 --- THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Mountain & Prairie is listener supported via Patreon, and brought to you with support from the Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust, MIRASOL: Looking at the Sun, Patagonia Books, the Rye Resurgence Project for their generous sponsorship. --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 0:00 - Introducing Heather Hansman (again) and highlighting Patagonia books 7:00 - Book number three 8:08 - Overview of Fierce Country 12:05 - Why these women 16:22 - Georgie and Anne on the wild 19:31 - Anne vs. Thoreau 23:08 - Constraint drives creativity 26:12 - Driven by hardships 28:58 - The heroine's journey 30:45 - Female and male differences 35:40- To scold or not to scold 41:41 - Pitching the book 44:08 - Outward Bound 46:56 - Recreation.gov 50:07 - Slowing down 56:48 - Bad feminism 1:04:50 - What's next for Heather --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts

Slowing down isn't just taking a vacation or finding time to rest. Slowing down in order to speed up is an intentional strategy to improve our impact in our life and work. For Full Show Notes Visit https://www.jasonvbarger.com/podcast/slowing-down-to-speed-up/ Jason challenges the traditional corporate hustle, exploring why the most effective leaders and teams must intentionally slow down in order to truly speed up. Please rate and review the podcast to help amplify these messages to others! Summary: In a fast-paced business world, velocity is often mistaken for validation. But does running faster actually mean we are getting further? In this episode of The Thermostat, Jason V Barger deconstructs the "busyness myth" and explores the direct correlation between intentional rest and high performance. Drawing on revealing research from the Harvard Business Review, Jason highlights how constant context-switching—where professionals shift focus 300 to 500 times a day—destroys baseline productivity and degrades team execution. Instead of grinding at all hours, the most successful executives build deliberate margins to recharge their mental bandwidth and regain clarity on their highest priorities. Essential listening for C-Suite executives, operations directors, and team leaders committed to shaping compelling corporate cultures, this episode offers a practical four-part framework—seeking joy, breaking tendencies, growing like bamboo, and thorough preparation—to help you calibrate your organizational thermostat and lead with unshakeable confidence. Episode Notes & Timestamps: Intro: Jason introduces the counterintuitive concept of slowing down to speed up, challenging the idea that constant motion equals progress. A Milestone Celebration: Thanking loyal listeners as The Thermostat is officially recognized as the #13 top authentic leadership podcast in the world by Million Podcasts. The Strategic Pause: Why stepping away and taking time off is a calculated performance strategy rather than just an administrative luxury. The Busyness Myth: Insights from Jason's second book, Remember, addressing the reality of the modern distracted worker. The 30% Productivity Cliff: Unpacking a Harvard Business Review study proving that constant task-switching yields a massive drop in actual effectiveness. Strategy 1 - Seek Joy: Stepping away from the unyielding to-do list to actively pursue experiences that restore your baseline mental presence. Strategy 2 - Break Tendencies: Disrupting rigid operational routines and personal habits to stimulate fresh thinking and expand creative bandwidth. Strategy 3 - Grow Like Bamboo: Allowing your strategic ideas to mature and wander beneath the surface before scaling vertically. Strategy 4 - Prepare for Confidence: How intentional reflection and dreaming during recovery windows builds unshakeable execution confidence for the road ahead. Questions to Ponder: Jason challenges leaders to identify specific ways they will recharge to bring their absolute best when it is required. Key Takeaways for Leaders: Busyness vs. Effectiveness: Stop equating constant task-switching with actual progress; prioritize intentional focus over chaotic multitasking. Strategic Rest: Treat downtime, vacations, and daily margins not as weaknesses, but as non-negotiable performance enhancers for yourself and your team. Break Routines to Innovate: Deliberately alter your personal and professional cadences to prevent complacency and spark new strategic alignment.

The invitation God gives us is often the opposite of what our instincts tell us. When problems arise, we want to fix, plan, and act. But God invites us to pause and remember that He is already present and working. Time spent with Him is never wasted; it is where our hearts are renewed and our souls are restored. God is not asking us to accomplish more to earn His love. He is inviting us into relationship with Him. Whether it is thirty minutes or just a few quiet moments throughout the day, sitting in God’s presence, reading His Word, and praying allows us to step away from the rush and experience His peace. Jesus Himself was never hurried or driven by the need to prove His worth through productivity. Through Him, we are reminded that we do not have to carry burdens God never intended for us to hold. When we return to Him, we find the rest and strength we need for each day. Highlights: God does not measure our faithfulness by how busy we are, but by how closely we walk with Him. Isaiah reminds us that true strength comes through returning to God, resting, and trusting Him. Productivity can become a burden when we believe our worth depends on what we accomplish. Spending quiet time with God restores our hearts and helps us recognize His presence. Jesus invites the weary and burdened to come to Him and receive rest. Slowing down creates space to hear God’s voice and trust His direction. Join the Conversation Where do you feel the most rushed in your life right now?

Full Transcript Below: God Is Not Rushing YouBy Sarah Frazer Bible Reading:“For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, ‘In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.’ Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.” - Isaiah 30:15, 18 My daughter does not like to be rushed. In so many ways I am the same way. When planning things I always give myself extra time. American culture is one that is governed by time. Events start on time and we complain if we are made to wait. It is easy to fall into the mindset of rushing when being dictated by the clock. Rarely do people have time to rest, be quiet, and wait. Me included. My days are often packed with endless activities and to-do lists. For so long if I didn’t do anything on a particular day - that day felt unproductive. My to-do list can be like a taskmaster, running my day-to-day life. Somewhere along the way, I started to believe that a full schedule meant a faithful life—and that slowing down meant I was falling behind. In Isaiah 31 we read the words: “in repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength…” God’s people, the Israelites, had been running away from God, not toward him. They were about to be attacked by their enemies, but instead of going to God, they turned to other allies. They tried to fix things on their own. Isaiah, the prophet, spoke from God to tell the people that rescue would come a different way. It would come through returning to God, resting. This is counter intuitive, isn’t it? We often think the opposite: the way out of trouble is to run, move, and act! God, though, wasn’t asking for more effort but for them to return to Him. While they were rushing to solve their problems, God was inviting them to be still. You and I are the same. We rush to fix problems, stay productive, and make sure we don’t let anything “fall through the cracks.” How often do we believe that faithfulness is the same as being busy? For so long, I have believed that my purpose in life - why God loved me and what God wanted from me - was to be productive. Faithfulness isn’t about that at all. Friend, God invites us to return to him. How do we do this? Begin by sitting with God. That’s right. Stop at some point in your day (each day) to just sit and be with God. Don’t scroll. Don’t move. Just be still. Time in God’s presence is not wasted time—it is where our souls are restored. While you are sitting there, learn the value of not talking, thinking, or worrying. During that time, use a few minutes to be in His Word. Don’t rush through a reading of the Bible, but linger with it. Listen to God’s voice as you read the words (or listen to the audio). As you do, let your heart naturally speak to God in prayer. Start a conversation with God. Maybe it will be about what you read, but mostly it can be about what is on your heart. Embrace the quietness, if possible. God is not asking you to do more—He is inviting you to be with Him. Those moments, whether they are thirty minutes or 3 minutes, can make such a difference in our day. Many of us are tired not because we’re doing too little, but because we’re carrying what God never asked us to carry. Jesus says in Matthew 11:28-30, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” God is not hurrying us along. He is gently inviting us to return, to rest, and to trust Him right where we are. As we learn to slow our hearts today, may we learn how to step out of the rush and into His presence. God can teach us to trust Him in the quiet places. This stopping, even for a moment, means we don’t have to strive; God is already near. Intersecting Faith & Life: Jesus was never hurried, rushed, or needed to prove His worth by His productivity. You don’t either. As you start your day, remember to slow down and spend a few moments in prayer. Ask God to help you have strength for your day. In the dark at night, lift your heart to God again, asking Him for peace as you sleep. Where in your life do you feel the most rushed right now—and what would it look like to intentionally slow down and invite God into that space?

Slowing down sounds simple. For driven people, it can feel like dying.In this episode of Shed & Shine, Rob and Gino get into why high performers are often terrified to slow down, and what's really underneath that fear. When you stop moving, stuff comes up. Everything your soul has been trying to show you. And for a lot of driven people, that's the scariest part of all.Gino shares a conversation he had with a client who just sold his second company and can't figure out how to shift gears after 40 years of going hard. The advice? Create space. Say no. Sit with the discomfort. Because the next thing worth doing rarely shows up while you're still running at full speed.Your drive isn't the problem. It's about finding the speed where everything opens up.

Owning an eCommerce business can feel overwhelming, especially when you're wearing all the hats. Between marketing, tech issues, customer service, inventory, and everything else on your plate, it's easy to fall into the habit of trying to figure everything out yourself. In this episode, I'm sharing a pattern I've noticed over and over again... both in my own business and while coaching Shopify store owners inside the Lounge.

In this episode: A common habit that's quietly costing business owners time and momentum. The story of a problem that was solved much faster than anyone expected. An opportunity many product-based business owners never think to ask for. Why your first instinct when you get stuck may be working against you.

Tired of the constant mental chatter? Feeling drained by unresolved issues and endless to-do lists? You're a high-performer, always striving for excellence. But that drive often comes with a hidden cost: a mind full of "open loops" – those nagging thoughts, unfinished tasks, and unresolved conflicts that silently steal your energy. In this powerful discussion, we dive deep into the concept of neutrality – not as indifference, but as a strategic superpower for the exhausted high-achiever. Discover how embracing neutrality can help you: Stop the energy drain: Learn to identify and close those "open loops" that keep you mentally busy and emotionally depleted. Navigate conflict with calm: Instead of reacting and escalating, find your "defining moment" to manage situations with steady, anchored presence, even when things matter deeply. Reclaim your peace and sanity: Understand how to pause, gain clarity, and avoid the knee-jerk reactions that lead to bigger problems and deeper exhaustion. Transform relationships: Discover how a neutral stance can foster understanding, prevent damage, and create space for genuine repair, even in your most challenging interactions. Unlock more solutions: See how stepping back from immediate judgment and reaction opens up a world of possibilities and empowers you to find more effective outcomes. We'll explore practical strategies like: Noticing the "surge": Identifying what triggers your emotional reactions. Questioning your "story": Challenging your ingrained beliefs about situations and people. Asking for clarity: Slowing down conversations to truly understand, rather than assume. "Eating your popcorn": Observing situations without getting emotionally entangled. If you're ready to move beyond constant reaction and cultivate a powerful inner calm that fuels your performance without burning you out, this video is for you. Learn how to be present, hear clearly, and manage yourself so you don't "give up your sanity or your peace." Don't let open loops dictate your energy. Tap into the power of neutrality and reclaim your focus, peace, and effectiveness. If this resonated, there's probably an open loop of your own worth closing. My free Close the Loop tool walks you through it in about 15 minutes — a gentle place to start.

True greatness, according to Jesus, looks nothing like the world's version of power and status. In Matthew 20, He flipped the idea of leadership completely upside down by calling His followers to serve rather than to be served. This kind of servant leadership is not just for pastors or executives. It applies to anyone who has influence over another person, which is all of us. Slowing down to truly see the people around us, helping them move toward where God is calling them, and leading from a heart filled with God's love are the marks of someone living out the upside down kingdom. When we lead this way, the world around us begins to look a little more like Jesus.

Slowing down doesn't mean do the same things, but slower. It means to pause frequently and actively think about the passage. Read more on our website. Email daily@lsatdemon.com with questions or comments. Watch this episode on YouTube!More LSAT Demon Resources.

One of the biggest leadership lessons I've learned is that business growth doesn't require me to become more essential, it requires me to become less essential. For years, being the person everyone relied on felt like a badge of honor. I answered every question, solved every problem, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. That mindset helped me build my business, but eventually it became the very thing slowing it down. In this episode of Business on Top, I'm sharing why I believe one of the most common blind spots for high-achieving founders is the addiction to being needed. While it feels good to be the person everyone depends on, true leadership requires us to let go of control, trust our teams, and create businesses that can thrive without us at the center of everything. I'll walk you through the three stages of leadership growth, the Hero, the Bottleneck, and the Builder, and explain why the transition from founder to CEO requires a complete shift in how we define our value. You'll also hear part two of a powerful live panel discussion from the ALT Experience featuring Shannon Morrow, Jill Canes, and Jill Goodman. Together, we discuss the realities of team development, navigating turnover, having difficult conversations, building trust, and learning how to step out of the role of being everyone's answer. If you've ever felt like your business can't function without you, this episode is for you. Because the goal of leadership isn't to become more important. It's to build something that succeeds even when you're not in the room.

This episode is brought to you by Your Clockwise Week—a personalized weekly structure built around your actual life, not an ideal one. If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.There's a loop most of us know well, even if we've never named it: feel behind, find the thing that's going to fix everything, go all in for a few weeks, get derailed by life, and start over — carrying a little more shame each time. It doesn't matter whether we're talking about fitness, productivity, or building a business. The pattern is the same, and so is the trap. We keep waiting for things to get back to normal so we can try again properly. But what if that version of normal isn't coming back?Steve Kamb is the founder of Nerd Fitness, which has grown over 17 years into a platform that has coached more than 20,000 people one-on-one. His new book, How to Try Again, grew out of that work — specifically from the most universal problem he kept encountering across thousands of conversations: the all-or-nothing mindset. Steve built a four-part framework called PACT — Pause, Accept, Change, Try — to help people break the doom loop and stop waiting for ideal conditions that never arrive.Six Discussion PointsThe pause is the hardest part of PACT not because it requires effort, but because it requires restraint — and our productivity culture has no patience for it. Slowing down feels like falling behind, when it's often the only way to figure out if you're even moving in the right direction."Normal" is not a destination you return to — it's whatever your actual days look like right now, including the chaos, the interruptions, and the laundry on the floor. Waiting for a predictable routine to materialize before you start is a way of never starting.Before you commit to a goal, ask the question most people skip: What if this works? If success means you have to keep doing the thing you hate, you've picked the wrong goal. The reward for getting good at Instagram is that you have to keep doing Instagram.Treating your next attempt like a non-judgmental experiment — part scientist, part detective — removes the weight of outcome and replaces it with curiosity. You're not measuring whether you become the person you admired; you're measuring what you learned about yourself.The doom loop compounds. Every incomplete attempt doesn't just reset the clock; it adds guilt and shame to the pile you're already carrying. Recognizing the loop is the first step to using one of the escape pods Steve calls "half-assing it" — doing the most of the thing you can do today, rather than the ideal version of it.Steve effectively fired himself as CEO of his own company to get back to the work he actually loved — writing. The book that resulted is his most personal project, and it came from applying PACT to his own life: pausing, accepting who he really is, changing his role, and trying again on his own terms.Three Connection PointsHow to Try Again by Steve Kamb — howtotryagain.comNerd Fitness — Steve's 17-year-old community and platform: nerdfitness.comStop Managing Your Time, Start Crafting It — My piece on the TimeCrafting approach, which shares a lot of philosophical ground with Steve's ideas about working within your actual constraints rather than imagined ones: Read it on MediumThe conversation Steve and I had goes back sixteen years, and there's something fitting about the fact that both of us have spent that time learning — the hard way, repeatedly — that the frameworks and tools only work when they're built around the life you're actually living. PACT isn't a productivity system. It's permission to be human and then do something about it. If you've been waiting for the right moment to try again, this might be the episode that helps you stop waiting.If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness. You can follow along as it takes shape at mikevardy.com/productiveness.

We're all just trying to hold it together in a world that feels like it's burning down. Uncertainty. Fear. No end in sight. These are not just buzzwords, they are the ingredients of dysregulation. And they're stealing the best parts of us.In this raw, real, and soul-shifting conversation, I sat down with the incredible @gilldeacon to talk about her book A Love Affair with the Unknown and the question we're all asking right now: How do we be okay when things are not okay?Here's what we landed on:We don't get stronger by avoiding fear—we grow by naming it and sitting in it.Healing starts when the nervous system feels safe again. Not before.Curiosity is the antidote to control. Certainty is a myth—but wonder is medicine.Slowing down is NOT weakness, it's where the wisdom lives.Let this be your reminder: Hope is a choice. You are not broken. You've just lost access to the best parts of you. Let's get it back.You matter more than you know. We're in this together.Follow Gillian Here:@gilldeacon@aloveaffairwiththeunknown Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Alycia Anderson shares an update after a recent medical scare and is interviewed by her sister Corinna from the Slay & Pray podcast. After years without major interventions but with extensive internal reconstruction from her disability, Alycia developed severe abdominal pain and vomiting after eating a large carrot and went to the ER, where a CT scan showed an intestinal obstruction. She was admitted for four days with an NG tube to decompress her stomach, hoping to avoid risky surgery due to prior abdominal operations and scar tissue; her bowels eventually resumed function and the tube was removed. The conversation covers fear, family trauma, accepting support from Marty, Regina, and niece Ella, vulnerability about “invisible” disability issues, postponing work as an entrepreneur, and committing to slower living, dietary changes, and prioritizing health and family.

Before my open heart surgery, I realized something very important. You can't always control the situation, but you can control how you prepare mentally for it.There were definitely moments of fear, uncertainty, and a lot of unknowns. What helped me most was going back to the same mindset tools I've taught athletes, executives, and teams for years.The first thing I focused on was deep breathing. Slowing my breathing down helped calm my body and clear my mind when things started speeding up emotionally.Visualization also became important. I kept picturing myself getting through surgery successfully, recovering, and getting back to the people and moments I love most. I thought about sitting at home with my dog Puffins, enjoying the simple things we often take for granted.Meditation helped me stay present. Instead of thinking too far ahead or getting lost in fear, I focused on one moment at a time, one breath at a time.Positive self talk mattered too. I reminded myself that fear is normal, but belief still matters. I kept telling myself to trust the process, trust the people helping me, and trust my mindset.Most importantly, I leaned into gratitude. I thought about family, relationships, purpose, and all the things still worth fighting for. That mindset helped carry me through some very difficult moments.These tools did not remove the challenge, but they helped me face it with more calm, clarity, and strength.Discover the limitless potential of The Healthy Mindset Application (App) with our exclusive Application Assess, Educate, Coach approach.

Happy Friday, Regular People — Kelsey is back, the Queens are reunited, and somehow we go from vitamin C powder and whole milk to emotional survival, nervous-system burnout, and why every adult secretly needs a shed to escape humanity. We get into how modern life has basically everyone stuck in fight-or-flight mode, and how Kelsey's healer traced her anxiety, exhaustion, and vagus nerve issues back to something surprisingly simple: she wasn't nourishing herself enough. Not emotionally. Not physically. Not in any real sustainable way. Which led to a bigger conversation about how sometimes the answer isn't another supplement, guru, or podcast episode. Sometimes it's sleep. Water. Structure. Laughter. Slowing down long enough to actually feel like a person again. Plus, why Kelsey may officially need her own “operating system update.” We also spiral into the world of Regular Guy health hacks — from oregano oil and local honey to bee pollen and whole milk making a comeback — while Kev questions whether society has completely lost the plot somewhere along the way. And underneath all the chaos is a very real conversation about why so many successful people are secretly running on fumes. Then Kev takes us down a very passionate rabbit hole about campers, hideaways, man caves, “she sheds,” little nooks, crannies, and escape hatches — which honestly turns into a surprisingly deep conversation about survival, aging, relationships, and why quiet becomes priceless the older you get. Because even when you love your people… sometimes you still need a door you can close. We also talk about the emotional impact of the Heal Squad Reset event, the power of healing communities, and why people right now are craving connection, purpose, reinvention, and second chapters more than ever. Plus: Frontier Airlines survival tactics, celebrity burnout, narcissist “lolcows,” Dog & Pony updates, AfterBuzz nostalgia and whether it could come back bigger than ever, and Kev casually floating the idea of a live Regular Guy reboot workshop for anyone needing a reset.

Episode 4018: Ali Cornish explores how slowing down can help us reclaim meaning, clarity, and peace in a world driven by constant urgency and overstimulation. Through simple but powerful lifestyle shifts like slow travel, mindful breathing, unplugging from technology, and embracing quiet moments, Cornish encourages a more intentional and fulfilling way of living. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://everthrive.org/blog/2017/3/31/take-the-slow-way Quotes to ponder: "Sometimes it's necessary to take a break from living in the moment. Sometimes it's necessary to "take the slow way."" "By slowing down, we allow ourselves time to think about how we are living life. Slowing down gives us space to evaluate our choices and make new goals." "Similar to enjoying a quality beer, we should drink life slowly to appreciate the taste and savor the experience."

Dr. Paul Conti is a psychiatrist and author of the new book “What's Going Right.” This conversation flips the script on a field focused on what's wrong, and asks a different question: what's going right? We get into the three human drives, the structure of self, self-sabotage, boundaries, and the simple goodness principle. Paul is a gift, and the new book is a beautiful offering. Enjoy!
