On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with an interesting overview a study showcasing that music can speed one's recovery from surgery, less young people are using tobacco products, a new diagnosis of Alzheimer's or other dementia spurs patients to move from their home, what happens to our mind and body after losing a loved one, and new guidelines for preventing a first stroke. Then, how fast your body can bounce back into strength-training after taking time off.  Moving on, an examination of the long life of Maria Branyas Morera, who encouraged scientists to study her super-agin ability before she passed in August of 2024 at the age of 117. Researchers are studying what makes people live long, with findings showing a link of genetics, healthy lifestyle, and a healthy gut microbiome with a focus on the Mediterranean  Diet, as well as avoiding alcohol and tobacco products. Lastly, Doug and Dr. Ken answer listener questions on the topic of hot flashes, and that women with persistent hot flashes and night sweats have a 50% increased risk of developing Type II Diabetes. Another listener question is on back pain and what we can do, ergonomically, to protect our spine, as well as yoga being a preferred exercise method for back health.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

How often do you find yourself racing from meeting to meeting, rushing through tasks, or filling every silence with your own voice? In our doing-oriented culture, pausing feels uncomfortable—even counterproductive. Yet left unchecked, our instinct for action and answers can limit learning, development, and innovation.In this episode, I explore the power of the pause and why mastering it may be one of the most transformative leadership habits you can develop. Pausing with purpose—slowing down to create space for silence, reflection, and intentional action—actually accelerates your impact. It's in the pause—the space between our “doing”—that learning deepens, decisions improve, and people grow. Whether you're leading a team, coaching others, or developing your own learning mindset, this episode will help you discover the power of the pause to drive performance, engagement, and lasting change.YOU'LL LEARN:Why silence feels uncomfortable—and how our instinct to fill the space with our thinking limits growth, reflection, and learningHow embracing ma (間), the Japanese concept of “ meaningful space between”, creates the conditions for learning, understanding, and transformation The importance of intentional reflection (hansei) to cultivate a  learning culture rooted in continuous improvementWhy mastering the pause creates ripple effects across your team, transforms your leadership, and leads to better resultsThree ways to develop the power of the pause as a transformational leadership habit to create clarity, ownership, and insightIMPORTANT LINKS:Full episode show notes with links to other podcast episodes and resources: ChainOfLearning.com/56 Check out my website for resources and ways to work with me KBJAnderson.comFollow me on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kbjandersonTIMESTAMPS FOR THIS EPISODE:01:50 The benefits of mastering the pause 02:12 Why silence is uncomfortable making us want to keep things moving05:05 Katie's aha moment of the telling habit08:58 How to pause to create space for others to think10:16 How the pause is used in Japanese culture13:18 The meaning of ma (間) and how to apply this concept15:41 How reflection (hansei) is deeply rooted in Toyota's culture16:17 An example of how Agustín created pauses in the busyness of the usual work routines to give space for conversations17:47 Why the power of the pause is three-fold17:51 [ONE] Restore the PDSA (Plan-Do-Study-Adjust) cycle18:20 [TWO] Pausing gives others space to think18:46 [THREE] The pause shifts you from being reactive to proactive19:40 Three ways to practice the power of the pause19:44 [FIRST] Count silently to 10 after you ask an open question20:01 [SECOND] Schedule reflection and thinking time for yourself and for your team20:22 [THIRD] Practice the Intention Pause21:32 The benefits of holding back before sharing your idea

Think frustration is just anger? Think again. In this episode, Andrew Oxley breaks down the Four Faces of Frustration (Red, Yellow, Green, Blue) and hands you a simple filter for leading when emotions get loud. You'll discover why self-diagnosing under stress rarely works, how to run the people vs. task and speed up vs. slow down tests, and the one question every leader needs to ask: "What's it like to be on the other side of you?" We also tackle the difference between problems to solve and tensions to manage, the First Law of Problem-Solving, and a practical path to influence: serve the people you already have. Clear. Actionable. Memorable. 00:00 – Cold open & setup 03:07 – "The least frustrating interview" (ironic hook) 03:48 – Why frustration? Making complex ideas simple (Mark Twain shout-out) 05:55 – Are these literal faces?

Problems vs. Tensions 27:41 – First Law of Problem-Solving: long-running issues = you're managing, not solving 30:00 – Mission over paycheck: engaging younger teams without the doom loop 31:14 – Litmus test: "Is it effective?" and why leaders change first 33:35 – Where to get it: Amazon + free copy via live workshop (transformingresults.com) 34:16 – "Serve, serve, serve" and the real measure of influence Website: https://www.transformingresults.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-oxley-tog Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/andrew.oxley.758 Twitter/X: https://x.com/AndrewOxley YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewoxley-theoxleygroup

On today's show we are talking about how to interact with a lender. If you're in the game of real estate, chances are you've borrowed money. Lenders come in all shapes and sizes from the traditional community and regional banks, to the larger agency debt like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, to the government sponsored loans from HUD or SBA. There are then numerous private options including debt funds, CMBS loans, preferred equity, CPACE  and mezzanine lenders. They all have one thing in common. They will go through an underwriting process that requires you to provide documentation about the borrower, the guarantor if it's a recourse loan and the property. Those requirements will be listed generally on a term sheet, and then perhaps later in the process in a commitment letter, or a closing checklist.On today's show I'm going to share what we believe are best practices, or at least I'm going to share how we manage this process in our development company. ------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

The United States plans to introduce new guidelines to accelerate defense technology transfers to partners such as Taiwan, with the aim of streamlining approval and delivery processes. Rupert Hammond-Chambers of the US-Taiwan Business Council stated that immediate defense needs are best met through off-the-shelf purchases, while technology transfers are suitable for longer timelines. Taiwan is expected to allocate its 2026 defense budget toward acquiring technology for the T-Dome air defense system and enhancing asymmetric capabilities, supported by a special defense budget of up to $32.5 billion. Discussions at the U.S.-Taiwan Defense Industry Conference also addressed concerns about gray zone tactics, blockades, and traditional military platforms. On the diplomatic front, U.S. officials do not anticipate a significant policy shift regarding Taiwan, despite ongoing discussions with China.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

It's not some catchy title that I've simply slapped on this week's episode - it is a well-researched scientifically validated phenomenon... people in flow have more time than the rest of us.More time to do just what they need to do, in just the right way, with little or no effort.And the wonderful thing is that any of us - and that includes you - can experience this phenomenon and, like most phenomenon, it is phenomenal!!However, using your mind that way you have been using it will never allow you experience this so-called Flow - you have to come to terms with who you really are and, then, allow yourself slow down... to speed up.What do I mean by "coming to terms" with yourself? Well, I could have called this episode "War and Peace" - because, if you're not at peace with yourself and who you really are, you'll be at war with everyone else, raging against the world.That's why, in this episode, I make the explicit suggestion that, to enable yourself experience the bending of time when in flow, you deliberately slow yourself down.As you'll discover as you work your way through this episode - aided and abetted by real-life stories, when we slow down, we speed up...

This is her second career and her passion. Before this, she was a director for a national insurance company for 34 years. Her website memorializes their traditional family recipes, traditions, and new family favorites. Blogging can feel lonely, but you don't have to do it alone. In this conversation, we dive into how building a trusted group of peers can accelerate growth, reduce overwhelm, and keep your passion alive. Enza shares her journey from corporate life to blogging and how surrounding herself with supportive peers has been the key to her momentum. Key points discussed include: Community beats isolation: Why blogging becomes more sustainable when you stop doing it alone. Find your circle at conferences: How in-person events can spark lasting relationships. Consistency matters: Meeting regularly keeps accountability and friendships strong. The glue is personal connection: Building bonds beyond business creates trust and longevity. Support during struggles: A group that understands your wins and setbacks keeps you grounded. Start small: Even two or three committed people can form a powerful support system. Invest in relationships: Time and energy spent nurturing connections will pay off. Look for generosity, not competition: Healthy groups share ideas freely and lift each other up. Connect with Enza Whiting Website | Instagram

Public, private and philanthropic money is proving to be a successful mix to accelerate climate action. Synopsis: Every first and third Tuesday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. When it comes to climate action, financiers are increasingly turning to the Three Ps to find the cash they need: Public, private and philanthropic money. With trillions of dollars needed annually to shift the world away from polluting fossil fuels, cash-strapped governments don’t have the financial muscle to do this. Much of the money needs to come from the private sector, with philanthropy providing a much needed boost. This mix of money from all three, called blended finance, is designed to be cheaper concessional capital. It helps de-risk early-stage investments, especially in developing nations, and helps attract more investors. In 2023, climate blended finance totalled US$18.3 billion, up from about US$6 billion in 2015. But while the amount is growing, it’s still a fraction of what is needed. Are there positive signs blended finance can be significantly scaled up? And is there a risk only certain types of projects will be attractive candidates for blended finance? Join Green Pulse hosts Audrey Tan and David Fogarty as they discuss these questions in this episode. Have a listen and let us know your thoughts! Highlights of conversation (click/tap above): 1:13 What is blended finance? 5:16 Why is blended finance becoming increasingly talked about? 8:52 What are some of the projects in Asia that could benefit? 10:40 How much money has been flowing into blended finance, especially for climate projects? 13:04 But what are some of the drawbacks – is there a risk that some types of projects will miss out? 18:06 COP30: If a roadmap for US$1.3 trillion in climate finance is sketched out, this could be a big boost.

They explore whether U.S. influence has shifted from leading a global order after World War II to carving out its own “sphere of influence” alongside other major powers. The discussion looks at attacks on government expertise, the idea of “restraint” in foreign policy, and how fringe thinkers on the right are shaping real political choices.

Trent shares his approach to finding elk in Oregon's tight Roosevelt country, his excitement for a first-time Utah hunt, and the joy of taking his kids into the backcountry. We dive into tactics like the cat road shuffle, reading sign, and adapting to high-pressure units with better callers and smarter hunters. From navigating micro pockets to sharing meat with buddies, this episode is loaded with practical tips and stories to fuel your elk season. Don't miss Trent's take on woodsmanship, hunting ethics, and why finding elk is the real superpower. Grab your gear and get ready to hunt smarter! Timestamp Chapters 00:00 - Intro and Season Hype: Cody kicks things off, checking the record button and getting stoked for elk season with Trent Fisher in the studio. 02:15 - Balancing Business and Hunting: Discussing the chaos of July and August in the hunting industry, cashing in family bonus points, and gearing up for multiple hunts. 05:30 - Why Utah for OTC?: Trent explains his plan to hunt Utah's OTC units for more elk encounters, comparing it to Colorado's tougher odds and the value of “at bats.” 09:45 - Trent's YouTube Mission: Breaking down barriers for new hunters, showing anyone can elk hunt with modern tools like OnX, and why Oregon's OTC is a go-to. 14:20 - Best OTC States and Strategies: Trent ranks Wyoming and Colorado as top OTC states, sharing how he targets new units and avoids over-hunted spots. 19:00 - The Cat Road Shuffle Evolved: How Trent's run-and-gun calling has slowed down for precision, focusing on benches, bedding areas, and reading elk behavior. 25:30 - Roosevelt Elk Challenges: Navigating Oregon's tight pockets, dealing with silent bulls, and using night bugling to pinpoint elk in low-visibility terrain. 32:45 - Finding Elk Without Bugles: Trent's woodsmanship approach—checking bottoms, water holes, and micro benches when bugling and glassing aren't options. 39:10 - Adapting to Pressure and Change: Discussing how better hunters and OnX have changed the game, and why finding unpressured pockets is key. 45:25 - Hunting with Kids: Trent shares lessons from taking his daughter caribou hunting and prepping his son for a Colorado backcountry hunt, emphasizing slowing down. 52:00 - Hunting Ethics and Meat Sharing: Trent's code for splitting meat with buddies—front quarters, backstraps, or 50/50 for tough pack-outs. 58:15 - Moose and Elk Meat Talk: Stories of donating moose meat in Alaska, comparing elk to ribeyes, and why one old bull was inedible. 1:04:30 - Gear Favorites and Elk Week: Trent's take on Born Primitive, First Lite, and Stone Glacier gear, plus a plug for their Elk Week video series. 1:09:00 - Wrap-Up and Season Wishes: Cody and Trent look forward to the Utah film, kid adventures, and crushing it in multiple states.

Adapt to Pressure with Micro Pockets: With better hunters and tools like OnX, success comes from finding overlooked pockets just beyond the crowd. Trent's cat road shuffle and willingness to drive hours to new spots show how mobility and persistence beat pressure. Slow Down for Kids, Speed Up for Elk: Taking kids hunting requires patience and relearning basics, but it reignites your own passion. Meanwhile, covering ground fast to find elk, then slowing for the kill, is key—especially when balancing family and hunting.

This week on Complex Systems, Patrick McKenzie (patio11) is joined by Joel Becker from METR. They discuss groundbreaking research on AI coding assistants.Joel et al's randomized controlled trial of 16 expert developers working on major open source projects revealed a counterintuitive finding: despite predictions of 24-40% speed improvements, developers actually took 19% longer to complete tasks when using AI tools, even though they retrospectively believed they were 20% faster. The conversation explores why even sophisticated professionals struggle to accurately assess their own productivity with AI tools, the industrial organization of software development, and the implications for AI's recursive self-improvement in research and development. It also touches on other perspectives from software developers using these tools professionally, and where we can expect them to improve rapidly.–Full transcript available here: www.complexsystemspodcast.com/the-great-developer-speed-up-with-joel-becker/–Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Mercury, the fintech trusted by 200K+ companies — from first milestones to running complex systems.
