We discuss how Apple is quietly opening doors for developers while possibly sidestepping antitrust concerns. The conversation wraps with thoughts on the streaming landscape, including Apple TV+'s price increase, Apple Music's expansion to TuneIn, and the broader implications of rising subscription costs. As always, the panel shares candid takes, bold predictions, and personal workflows that Apple power users will find invaluable.

In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with Aaron Williams about the Strong Towns movement and its local group in Dover. Williams explains that Strong Towns was founded by civil engineer Chuck Marohn, who identified that North American communities were building more infrastructure than their tax base could sustainably maintain. The movement focuses on practical, data-driven solutions to urban challenges like street safety and housing crises.A key concept discussed is the distinction between "roads" and "streets," - roads are designed for efficient movement between destinations, while streets serve as platforms for community collaboration and wealth creation. Williams argues that mixing these functions creates dangerous "stroads" that are neither efficient for travel nor conducive to local business activity. The conversation explores how Dover can orient its infrastructure toward constituents rather than just traffic flow.Williams describes his group, Strong Towns Seacoast, which meets monthly at Juniper Kitchen and advocates for incremental improvements to Dover's transportation infrastructure. Their recent successes include supporting curb bump-outs on Central Avenue and advocating for expanded bike lanes throughout the city. Parker discusses ongoing projects, including pedestrian crossing improvements that should be completed by year's end.The discussion also touches on housing policy, with Williams explaining how Strong Towns advocates for zoning changes that allow neighborhoods to adapt and grow while preserving character. Both speakers emphasize the importance of small, incremental changes that can be implemented quickly rather than waiting for large, comprehensive projects.In This Week in Dover History, we learn about Dover residents' concerns in 1925 regarding a potential national coal shortage and the rising cost of living.
Text your thoughts and questions!Have you ever dismissed a small step because it feels like it won't make a difference, or felt discouraged when you don't see immediate results? We live in a culture that glorifies big leaps and instant success, but the truth is, lasting change is built through the small, consistent choices we make every day. The biggest mistake is undervaluing these small actions, often quitting right before the magic happens.In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I dive into the power of small steps and why they create big, lasting change. I share insights from foundational productivity books like The Slight Edge and Atomic Habits, and give you four simple steps to embrace consistency, build new habits, and trust the process.I cover the following topics:How cultural pressure for instant gratification makes us dismiss small steps and leads us to quit before we see results.The science behind why our brains favor bad habits that offer instant rewards, while good habits with delayed benefits feel like so much work.How the "compound effect" means that small, consistent actions accumulate into dramatically different outcomes over time, for better or for worse.Four actionable steps to embrace small steps: reframing what "small" means, celebrating small wins, focusing on your identity, and using habit stacking.My personal story of learning to play guitar to illustrate how small, consistent practice leads to significant skill acquisition over time.Don't let the simplicity of a small step fool you. The small choice you make today is shaping your future self. What will your first small step be?Thank you for listening!

Pollinators play a critical role in our food system, but their decline has immediate consequences for food security, public health, and the resilience of ecosystems. The Bee Conservancy was created in response to that reality. What started as a grassroots effort has grown into programs that bring pollinator gardens across the city, provide seeds and support to urban farmers, and engage residents in community science to track bee populations. Today, I’m joined by The Bee Conservancy’s Rebecca Louie, to hear about how the organization has expanded since she joined in 2019, the partnerships that have brought unexpected resources to the table, and the importance of asking for help. Her perspective offers lessons for anyone starting out in the nonprofit world, or simply looking for meaningful ways to contribute.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a dreadful sports accident left James Clear relearning how to walk, he discovered a life-changing truth: greatness comes from tiny, repeated actions.

We'll talk about living in alignment with your values, choosing compassion over judgment, and embracing the lifelong process of becoming a better version of yourself, on your terms. If you've ever felt the pull to grow but didn't know where to start, this conversation is your invitation to take the next small, true step.

The discussion shifts to the Vision Pro, with reflections on Apple's strategy, pricing challenges, and comparisons with competitors like Meta and Xiaomi. Panelists agree that the Vision Pro is still a high-end, early-stage device, but are optimistic about future consumer-focused versions. Software updates take center stage as the team reviews iOS 18.6, macOS Sequoia 15.6, and watchOS 11.6—all featuring important security and bug fixes.

Today's inquiry comes from Kay, who is grappling with anxiety following a series of significant health scares. Through her story, we explore the struggles of chronic stress and the challenge of returning to a state of calm. As we delve into her situation, it becomes clear that understanding and practicing self-compassion is crucial in this journey back to emotional balance.I emphasize the importance of the RAIN technique that Kay mentions, which serves as an effective tool for navigating difficult emotions. I break down the four steps of RAIN: Recognize, Allow, Investigate, and Nurture. This method encourages a mindful approach to one's feelings, transforming reactivity into self-acceptance and compassion. Recognizing emotions, allowing them to exist without judgment, gently investigating their origins, and nurturing oneself through comforting practices can foster a sense of peace during moments of anxiety.Drawing from Kay's experiences, I highlight the necessity of patience as one recovers from a period of high stress. I remind listeners that healing is not linear and that taking small, steady steps can significantly impact their journey. Breathwork, for example, can be a foundational practice. I explain how techniques like belly breathing and conscious exhalation cultivate safety in the nervous system, allowing individuals to break the cycle of tension and anxiety.#AnxietyRelief #ChronicStress #NervousSystemHealing #EmotionalRegulation #RAINTechnique #SelfCompassion #MindfulnessPractice #BodyBasedHealing #MentalWellness #StressReduction #VagusNerve #GroundingTechniques #PresentMoment #SelfCareJourney #InnerPeace #EmotionalWellbeing #AnxietyHelp #CalmYourMind #Breathwork #Visualization #PodcastTips #GinaRyan #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #HealthAnxiety #OvercomingAnxiety #DailyHabits #FeelYourFeet #HummingForCalm #Decompress #HealYourBody #BeKindToYourself #ResilienceBuilding #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Episode #163 : Traveling to London with a mix of excitement and nerves can be as daunting as it is exhilarating. I remember discussing this with my eyelash queen, Marie, while she carefully crafted my lashes. Her journey to pursue a master's degree was a reminder that taking one small step leads to big changes. This episode is about those small, consistent actions that build momentum in life, whether it's planning an adventure to Wimbledon with my husband, Brian, or deciding to leave the kids behind for a much-needed escape. Amidst global concerns and travel alerts, we're choosing to embrace the thrill of new experiences. Marie's story is a testament to the power of breaking out of comfort zones. We often get trapped in routines, dreaming of something more but hesitating to act. It's not about the flashy success stories; it's about the everyday actions that propel us forward. I share how relentless consistency, like making that one phone call or sending that email, can be transformative. The episode underscores the idea that the everyday grit, not the glamorous moments, paves the path to achieving dreams. The mundane, unglamorous tasks are where progress happens. I recount setting up my studio's internet, a task I'd rather avoid, as an example of how constant motion leads to overall progress. Juggling responsibilities is part of the journey, and having children only heightens the need for efficiency. From transitioning out of a long finance career to building a media presence, I've learned the importance of keeping promises to oneself. Whether you're seeking personal growth or a career shift, it's about owning your journey, one determined step at a time. Passion and hard work can truly transform your life, and I hope this episode encourages you to believe that you can achieve your dreams with perseverance.
Change doesn't always come with a breakthrough—it often begins with a single small step taken with intention. Brianna Wiest shares her wisdom on how micro shifts, emotional awareness, and self-compassion can transform not only your habits but your entire life. With clarity and heart, she explores the power of slowing down, embracing seasons of transition, and building emotional architecture that supports lasting growth. Her perspective reminds us that the life we're waiting for is already unfolding—one small, consistent choice at a time. Key Takeaways: Small, intentional actions create momentum for long-term transformation without overwhelming your nervous system. Emotional architecture helps you process feelings as teachers, not obstacles. Self-sabotage often masks a deeper need for safety or care—identifying those needs can break the cycle. Consistent routines and community connections are essential to staying grounded during life's in-between seasons. Trusting your journey means surrendering to the present and aligning with your own pace of growth. About Brianna Wiest: Brianna is the bestselling author of the books 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think, The Mountain Is You, The Pivot Year, and more. Her books have sold millions of copies, regularly appear on global bestseller lists, and are currently being translated into 40+ languages.

Hub & Spoken: Data | Analytics | Chief Data Officer | CDO | Strategy
In this episode, we look at the real story behind transformation in data and AI, and why the classic big bang approach often fails to deliver lasting impact. Jason explores when large-scale transformation programmes do make sense, like when you're starting from a fundamentally broken place, or when disruption is the goal. But he also digs into the messy reality of what usually happens: slow delivery, rigid plans, lost trust, and a disconnect between activity and real outcomes. He then makes the case for iterative change. A more human, responsive, and sustainable way to build meaningful transformation over time. With real-world examples and sharp reflections, Jason shares how small, focused steps can create big shifts, and how to blend bold vision with practical delivery. This episode is full of insight for business and data leaders navigating change, delivering transformation, or just trying to make something actually stick. ********** Cynozure is a leading data, analytics and AI company that helps organisations to reach their data potential.

Our Belgian connection runs deep, built on shared moments, mutual admiration, and a steady stream of talent that never seems to dry up. The latest to surface is Ben Kamal: Brussels-based DJ, promoter, and soon-to-be label boss. In recent years, Ben has been a staple in clubs like C12, Fuse, and Funke, as well as festivals like Paradise City and Horst. He's carved out a sound that's both precise and personal, equal parts deep, minimal, and melancholic. As a resident of Lola Haro's Small Steps series and curator of nights at bis.club, he's been steadily shaping a mood, a narrative, a space. And with the first release on his new label ov guidance about to drop, featuring a.brehme and signall kommt (aka z@p), that space is about to get even more defined. Listening to the mix Ben made for us feels like watching dusk fold into night in slow motion. The arc is patient, but the details are razor-sharp: fluttering hats, muted basslines, strange shadows between the kick and the silence. There's movement, but it's not linear. It loops, it lingers, it pulls you inward. It's not about big moments, it's about micro-decisions that add up to something more enduring. Call it dusk-lake energy. Call it perfect for the other side. https://soundcloud.com/benkamal https://www.instagram.com/benkamal__/ Write up by: @gilleswasserman Follow us on social media: https://soundcloud.com/itsdelayed https://linktr.ee/delayed https://www.delayed.nyc https://www.facebook.com/itsdelayed https://www.instagram.com/_____delayed https://www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: info@delayed.nyc

In November 2020 The Merriman Financial Education Foundation released “We're Talking Millions! 12 Simple Ways to Supercharge Your Retirement.” The purpose of the book was to focus on a series of very simple steps any investor might take to improve their financial future. "Understanding how to invest wisely for your future can be daunting. Many people never get started for fear of making mistakes. Others make choices based on hearsay and hope, sold on hype or risk aversion. In "We're Talking Millions!" you will learn why and how to make a handful of smart choices that can turn modest regular savings into a secure future. You'll discover "12 Small Steps with Big Payoffs," each of which can add $1 million or more to your retirement nest egg if you start in your 20s or 30s. These steps are well known.”The book has had a huge impact on an untold number of readers. The numbers are unknown because the Foundation offer the book free as a pdf, as well as a free link to the audio version (LINK) that was read by Truth Teller Don McDonald.While the book has had almost 400 online Amazon reviews (averaging 4 1/2 stars), the approximately 100 written reviews have over 95% 5 star ratings. Here is one from a young student (age 19 at the time) who is now in medical school! 5.0 out of 5 stars Life-changing book for young people interested in investingReviewed in the United States on December 17, 2020Format: Paperback Verified Purchase"We're Talking Millions" was a life-changing book. I am a 19 year-old college student who was directed toward Mr. Merriman's book as a great resource for first time investors. His book was the perfect resource for someone with little to no prior knowledge about investing.It starts by outlining the twelve steps to boost a retirement fund, listing tips and tricks along the way. One of the most helpful parts for me was that all of the investment lingo was clearly defined and explained, and I could get a very clear sense as to how each of these small steps fits into the overall puzzle. The book then outlines how to get started: explaining the "Two Funds for Life" investment plan, what investment companies are best to use, and suggesting specific investment funds.I cannot recommend this book enough!! I feel confident about my investment plan after reading this book, and I plan to share it with as many of my peers as possible. I have already given it to my sister and best friend. If you are looking for information about investing and don't have the energy to read a long, dense investing book, then "We're Talking Millions" is the book for you! It is interesting, short, and extremely informative, and I hope that it helps you as much as it helped me.Now Paul has recorded this podcast and video to discuss the 12 steps. The video was produced as part of a special offering to introduce Western Washington University alumni to The Merriman Financial Literacy Program that is working to educate all WWU students on the personal finance topics that will be an important part of their future.Our hope is you will pass along these links to others in your life who might benefit from this free educational information.Is there someone in your life you think could benefit from the discussion of these 12 huge decisions? Here are several ways to access this information: The following link is to a free pdf of our book, "We're Talking Millions! 12 Simple Ways to Supercharge Your Retirement.” A second and third link takes you to a 2 hour video and podcast on the 12 million dollar decisions. And finally a very short (12 minute) podcast or video review of the 12 decisions.

Each season of the Paper Talk Podcast holds a special place in our hearts, but Season 7 felt like a turning point. It reminded us that growth doesn't have to be loud. It can be slow and quiet, a series of steady, intentional steps that shift us in ways we don't always notice right away. And it reminded us that when we share our goals with others (and when we say them out loud) something begins to shift. As we close out this season, we want to invite you to pause with us. Pour a cup of tea, take a breath, and ask yourself: What's your goal this summer? Small Steps, Big Changes So many of us wait for big breakthroughs, grand pivots, or clear signs. But the truth is, powerful change often begins with something small: a conversation, a tiny decision, a moment of clarity. “These little steps that you're deciding right now, they're gonna be big. You might not see it right now, but you will.” - Quynh We saw it firsthand in our Mastermind community. Members taught their first workshops, launched shows, shifted their pricing models to better support global audiences, and leaned into the kind of growth that doesn't always get a headline, but transforms everything behind the scenes. Those moments matter. And they're proof that the steps you're taking today are already moving you forward even if their full shape hasn't yet revealed itself. Why We Believe in Accountability One theme ran strong through Season 7: accountability. When we share our goals out loud, we give them shape. We allow others to witness our commitment and invite support when things get messy. That's why the Mastermind has become such a cornerstone of our community. It's a container where creative entrepreneurs can declare what they want to build and know that someone will lovingly check in and cheer them forward. For Jessie, accountability looked like getting clearer on her messaging and splitting her Instagram into two accounts, one for her art, one for her teaching. It also meant tackling ads and marketing systems she'd once avoided. “Setting goals is incredibly important. That's why the Mastermind is so good. We force you to set goals and tell us what happened to them.” - Jessie For Sara, it was finally making time to overhaul her website, even though it wasn't urgent or income-generating. The support of the group gave her the nudge to move from someday to now. The Magic of Community This season also reminded us how essential community is, especially for creatives navigating uncertain terrain. For Sara, seeing Mastermind members experience their first shows and workshops was deeply moving. For Quynh, the quiet bravery of people showing up, sharing openly, and supporting one another through sticky, uncomfortable growth stood out. We've felt it, too. This community has shaped who we are, not just as artists and educators, but as humans who continue to learn from each other's vulnerability, courage, and questions. Learning as Teachers Teaching has a way of making us better learners. Quynh shared how each workshop she leads becomes richer as she refines, adjusts, and responds to feedback. Sara reflected on how much she learns from our Mastermind group even though she's one of the facilitators. Goals in Progress So what are our summer goals? Quynh plans to refine her workshops and teach four more before the year's end. She's excited about experimenting with new materials and deepening the learning experience. Sara's goal is to overhaul her website so it better reflects who she is today, not who she was ten years ago. Jessie is focused on more intentional marketing, tuning her messaging, exploring ads, and speaking more directly to both her students and collectors. These aren't goals rooted in fear or scarcity. They're grounded in curiosity and care. And they reflect our belief that when we show up for ourselves, we show up more fully for those we serve. What's Next for Paper Talk: Season 8 As we plan for Season 8, we're dreaming about deeper conversations, about pricing, sustainability, creative mindset, and everything in between. We'll continue to share what's working in our businesses, what isn't, and what we're still figuring out. And we want to hear from you! “We are giving you permission. Please let us know what you want to hear from us and how we can help you grow as a business, as an artist, as a person.” - Quynh Your voice shapes this podcast. Your questions, your insights, and your growth help guide our path forward. Share your insights with us on Instagram @papertalkpodcast, join our Facebook community discussions, or email us! What's Next for Our Mastermind: A NEW Cohort Starting in the Fall We are also starting a NEW six-month Mastermind experience in September 2025 with new and existing Mastermind members will allow deeper growth and connection.

In this episode, Joi Cuartero Austin is joined once again by Erik Reader for a lively and insightful conversation around the concept of Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper (LQC) — a placemaking approach that emphasizes small-scale, low-cost, and fast-to-implement strategies for revitalizing public spaces and neighborhood districts. Originally popularized by the nonprofit Project for Public Spaces in the early 2000s, LQC continues to shape how communities reimagine their built environments — even today. We dig into real-world examples, lessons learned, and how communities are using this flexible framework to create a stronger sense of place, community, ownership, and vitality. Topics Covered: What “Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper” means and where it came from How cities like Dallas, Richmond, Chicago, and Peoria are embracing DIY placemaking Examples of LQC success: from Better Block projects to guerrilla wayfinding Creative community engagement: pop-up shops, vacant lot activations, and DIY downtowns The power of “just trying something” and giving communities permission to act Metrics and outcomes: How small tests can lead to permanent change How LQC invites broader participation and fosters local pride What we'd personally love to try next in our own communities! Mentioned Projects and Ideas: Better Block Dallas – transforming a corridor with temporary interventions Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood – intersection redesign with chalk paint and bollards Walk Raleigh – unsanctioned wayfinding signs showing walk times to local spots Peoria “Ideas to Action” – pop-up engagement leading to funded community-led projects Parklets and outdoor seating – how losing a few parking spots can spark placemaking Takeaways: You don't need a million-dollar budget to make a meaningful impact. LQC gives communities permission to test ideas and rethink how they use space. Starting small can unlock new energy, increase public trust, and attract long-term investment. These quick wins can be a gateway to bigger, bolder revitalization strategies.

Simply Convivial: Organization & Mindset for Home & Homeschool
Free Brain Dump Guide: https://simplyconvivial.com/braindump | Perfectionism promises peace—but only delivers paralysis. So what happens when we let go of perfection and trust God with the story He's writing?In this episode of the Simplified Organization Podcast, I talk with Annie Rajala, a faithful mom of seven (four at home and three in glory), about how God has used hard seasons—grief, sickness, NICU stays, moving, and more—to shape her heart and home. We discuss how letting go of perfection, taking just five minutes, and trusting the Lord's timing can create momentum, peace, and gratitude in homemaking.Annie's journey is a beautiful reminder: the little things—the five minutes, the small goals, the messy journals—are often where God grows our joy the most.
