Marketers often find themselves caught between the promise of high-tech innovation and the reality of fragmented consumer data. Matt Spiegel, EVP of TruAudience Growth Strategy at TransUnion, joins Matt Britton on The Speed of Culture podcast to discuss how established analytical frameworks are finding new life in the era of artificial intelligence and privacy changes. The discussion highlights why the most significant hurdle in digital transformation often involves the human element rather than the software itself.Follow Suzy on Twitter: @AskSuzyBizFollow Matt Spiegel on LinkedInSubscribe to The Speed of Culture on your favorite podcast platform.And if you have a question or suggestions for the show, send us an email at suzy@suzy.com Hosted on Acast.

What if the insurance industry could move at the speed of modern technology?In this episode of Making Risk Flow, Christian Stobbs, we revisit one of our top episodes of 2026 where Juan de Castro sits down with Christian Stobbs, Chief Strategy & Corporate Development Officer at Markel, joins host Juan de Castro to discuss what it takes to build a preeminent specialty insurer in an increasingly technology-driven market. Christian explains why speed, customer obsession, technical expertise, and principled decision-making must work together as a unified competitive advantage. The conversation explores how insurers can localize strategy across international markets, reduce costly operational inefficiencies, and deploy AI to enhance underwriting and claims without losing critical human judgment. Christian also shares why transformational technology initiatives should operate with startup-style urgency, how AI will reshape underwriting roles, and why the insurers that adapt fastest will define the future of specialty insurance. Fan Mail: Got a challenge digitizing your intake?

Life is a battle. Not just the obvious battles we see around us, but the deeper battles that shape who we become. On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black explores the six battles every person will face: Man vs. Nature – the unexpected storms of life Man vs. Man – conflict with others Man vs. Society – the pressure to conform Man vs. Himself – the internal war between fear and faith The Spiritual Battle – the unseen struggle between light and darkness The Battle for Identity – the greatest battle of all, because who you believe you are determines how you fight every other battle. Joining Mr. Black is Lt. Col. Phil Cochran, a retired Air Force F-16 fighter pilot, pastor, and author of Lessons Learned at the Speed of Sound. Drawing from years in the cockpit and years behind the pulpit, Lt. Col. Cochran shares how the disciplines required to fly a fighter jet reveal powerful spiritual truths about faith, courage, pressure, failure, and perseverance. LIM Radio s11e29 In the Fight of your life Outline.docx Together they discuss: Why even a one-degree drift can lead to disaster over time The importance of spiritual disciplines in staying on course Preparing for life’s battles before they arrive Why Scripture is our Critical Action Procedure when spiritual emergencies strike How proper preparation prevents poor performance Mr. Black also challenges listeners to become Powerful, Peaceful, and Present warriors—leaders who remain calm under pressure, disciplined in their actions, and fully aware of the people and opportunities God places before them. This isn’t just a conversation about aviation. It’s about leadership. It’s about faith. It’s about identity. Because the greatest battle you’ll ever fight isn’t against your circumstances. It’s the battle for who you believe you are. This is an Hour of Power for anyone ready to stop drifting, stand firm, and fight the good fight of faith. Inspiration. Education. Application. When you live your life like it matters… it does.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brian Kula took Nsima and me through a full speed session, then broke down the principles he has used with elite athletes, including Christian McCaffrey. We talk about why speed should be the priority, how to return to sprinting without getting hurt, why the best athletes still master the basics, and how rhythm, recovery, foot strength, and smarter weight-room training build real athleticism.Special perks for our listeners below!

This is a bold statement but I fully believe it.  The speed at which you recover from life's setbacks has a bigger impact on your future than almost anything else. Examples … Someone says something super rude. Or you get disappointing news. Or you make a big mistake you're so bummed about.    The event lasts a few minutes... but for so many people, the emotional impact lasts for days or longer!  I've been thinking a lot about this lately, and I think one of the greatest skills you can develop isn't avoiding difficult moments... It's learning how to recover from them faster. Imagine two people. The exact same upsetting thing happens to both of them. Person A needs seven days to recover. Person B needs seven minutes. Now imagine that happens hundreds of times over the course of a lifetime. Who builds the better life? Today we're talking about one of the most valuable life skills you can develop... How To Be Awesome At Resetting Fast. Because you can't always control what happens to you... But you can absolutely control how long you let it affect you.      Stop Measuring Failure... Start Measuring Recovery Time Alex Hormozi talks often about speed. Speed of decisions. Speed of learning. Speed of action. But one thing he demonstrates over and over is speed of recovery. He doesn't pretend successful people avoid problems. He believes they simply spend less time emotionally attached to them. Ask yourself: How long do I stay upset? 10 minutes? 10 hours? 10 days? The longer recovery takes... the more expensive every setback becomes. Great performers compress recovery time.   Build Reset Rituals Successful people don't rely on motivation. They have reset systems.   Examples: "I had a bad meeting." → Walk outside. "I argued with someone." → Journal. "I skipped my workout." → Schedule tomorrow before bed. "I feel overwhelmed." → Brain dump.   The faster your ritual... the faster your recovery. I've been through harder.    This is not the worst thing that's ever happened to you.  Identity Doesn't Change Because Of One Decision Or Situation  Mark Manson talks about identity being built through repeated behaviors rather than dramatic declarations. Environment and consistent actions matter more than forcing yourself through shame.  One bad decision doesn't erase years of good ones. One great workout doesn't make you healthy. It's averages. The stock market doesn't go straight up. Neither do you.     Hormozi's Philosophy Alex Hormozi says something along these lines all the time: You don't become exceptional by avoiding hard things. You become exceptional because hard things stop surprising you.   Your response becomes automatic. Problem? Solve. Mistake? Adjust. Failure? Learn. Move. No drama. Just data.   The Compound Effect Of Fast Resets Imagine two people. Both make 200 mistakes this year. Person A Needs seven days to recover. Person B Needs seven minutes.   Who wins? Not because they're smarter. Not because they're more talented. Simply because they spend dramatically more days moving forward. That difference compounds over years.   Challenge For the next 30 days... Stop trying to be perfect. Instead... Become obsessed with shortening your reset time. Miss your workout? Reset tomorrow. Bad conversation? Don't carry it into the evening. Eat poorly? Next meal. Made a bad decision? Learn. Adjust. Move. Your goal isn't to eliminate mistakes.   It's to become someone who never stays down for very long. Because life will keep knocking you off course.   The people who build extraordinary lives aren't the ones who never fall... They're the ones who become world-class at getting back up.   If you remember one thing from today's episode, let it be this: One bad moment should never become a bad day. One bad day should never become a bad week. One bad week should never become a bad year. Your greatest superpower isn't avoiding setbacks... It's refusing to live there. Reset. Refocus. Take the very next right step. That's how extraordinary lives are built... one fast reset at a time.

Edward Burek of SmartKargo & Marco Ferrara of DeliverDirect talk about issues impacting small parcel delivery; fuel price reality; & keeping costs low & simple.  IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [02.04] An introduction to Edward and Marco, and their roles at SmartKargo and DeliverDirect. [03.07] An overview of DeliverDirect – who they are, what they do, and how they help their customers. [03.29] As the industry deals with ongoing fuel volatility, why Delta Airlines have a structural advantage other carriers don't have, and what it means in practice to have an airline like Delta running the middle mile for e-commerce shipments. "Fuel is the biggest cost with an airline but, because our passenger aircraft are flying around anyway, a lot of that fuel cost is absorbed – we're able to insulate and reduce what we're charging our customers." [05.52] As shippers see fuel surcharges, accessorial fees, and pricing complexity hit unprecedented levels, have surcharges stopped being about fuel and started becoming part of a business model? "There are a lot of carriers that are taking advantage of the market forces right now. A lot of businesses are built on surcharges... It's become a mechanism to dial up your revenue." [08.20] How DeliverDirect are approaching pricing differently. "It's so easy to forecast – it's a CFO's dream!... We want it to be a win-win all the way through the supply chain." [10.50] How DeliverDirect pulls together what already exists in the ecosystem, and the role SmartKargo's platform plays in making those pieces work together as a single delivery experience. [12.42] How SmartKargo is using real-time data and automation to predict shipment issues and recommend corrective actions before DeliverDirect customers feel any disruption. [13.56] Why quality data is the real foundation behind successful AI in logistics. "If you don't have good data, you can't put an AI engine over that." [14.39] From ocean backlogs to cross-border tariff complications, how big industry impacts are translating into challenges for businesses, and the impact of big e-commerce market growth. [16.42] Whether there are enough packages and profitable demand for everyone competing in a tough market, and how companies are differentiating themselves beyond just lowering prices. [19.17] The future for small parcel logistics. "What if it becomes coop-etition?!"

What if you could access the money in your investment account without selling a single share or triggering capital gains tax?In this episode of Gimme Some Truth, Ian and Alicia break down pledged asset lines (PALs) — what they are and how they work — and then introduce a newer, lesser-known alternative: the box spread portfolio loan. With lower interest rates, lower minimums, better tax treatment, and fewer restrictions on how you use the funds, box spread loans are quickly becoming a go-to strategy for investors sitting on large unrealized gains.If you've ever thought "I need cash but I don't want to sell," this episode walks you through exactly how to think about it.

This week we're all over the map in the best possible way. We kick things off talking about how AI is quietly changing everything from resumes to project work, and whether we're already at the point where talking to a chatbot feels a little too normal. From there it's back to the stuff we love: a quick tip on why new tires need a proper break-in period, Todd finally buying the monkey he's been threatening to buy for years, and a look at some of the biggest stories coming out of the Goodwood Festival of Speed. We discuss rumors surrounding Polestar's future in the U.S., McLaren's new 788 High Sport, and whether reliability will ever stop being part of the McLaren conversation. Megan joins us in the studio to talk square-body Chevys, classic truck nostalgia, and an unexpectedly deep debate about Ferrari, intellectual property, and whether automakers should have any say in what owners do with the cars they've already paid for. We wrap up with motorcycle ride plans, upcoming events around the Pacific Northwest, car show season, Goodwood highlights, and plenty of the random detours you've come to expect.

Speed in American football is about far more than running a fast 40-yard dash. It is the ability to create space, close space, accelerate, decelerate, change direction and repeatedly produce high-speed actions under the demands of the game. This week, Richard Graves is joined by Matt Gebert, Strength and Conditioning Coach at Ole Miss Football, to explore how speed is developed within an elite college football programme. Matt explains how Ole Miss structures speed training across the week, from acceleration and change of direction to maximum velocity, curved sprinting and conditioning. He also breaks down how the physical demands change between position groups and why offensive linemen, linebackers, running backs, wide receivers and defensive backs require different training priorities. The conversation explores the five key qualities Matt uses to assess speed development and how tools including Catapult GPS and the 1080 Sprint can help coaches understand an athlete's strengths, weaknesses and potential performance limiters. However, collecting more data does not automatically lead to better decisions. Matt explains why sports science technology must be accurate, efficient and actionable, particularly when working with a squad of around 120 athletes within strict time restrictions. Richard and Matt also discuss the balance between pushing athletes hard and protecting player availability, the value of wellness monitoring, the importance of sleep and why technology should help practitioners ask better questions rather than replace coaching judgement. Matt also reflects on how his coaching philosophy has changed during more than a decade in college football, including moving away from one-size-fits-all programming and learning to coach athletes differently, both physically and psychologically. In this episode you will learn Why speed in team sport is ultimately about creating and closing space How Ole Miss structures acceleration, maximum velocity, change of direction and conditioning work Why different football positions require different speed and strength qualities The five physical qualities Matt assesses within speed development How Catapult GPS and the 1080 Sprint are used to profile athletes Why maximum velocity is particularly important for wide receivers and defensive backs How to identify and improve an athlete's performance limiters The difference between using sports technology and practising sports science The three questions Matt asks before introducing new technology How external and internal training loads can inform programme decisions Why wellness questionnaires can start important conversations with athletes The relationship between training load, recovery and player availability Why sleep may be the most overlooked performance metric How Matt's approach to individualising training and communication has evolved Why acceleration should be a priority for young athletes in almost every sport About Matt Gebert Matt Gebert is a Strength and Conditioning Coach with Ole Miss Football, where he leads speed development work within the programme's performance team. Matt has worked in college football for approximately 13 years and is currently completing a PhD focused on speed development. His work covers linear speed, multidirectional movement, acceleration, maximum velocity, deceleration, curved sprinting and conditioning for team-sport athletes. Alongside his coaching and research, Matt regularly shares practical information about speed development and the use of sports science within high-performance environments. He is also preparing a forthcoming book focused on speed development for team-sport athletes.

How quickly can you train as a coach without compromising the quality, depth and credibility of your learning? It is one of the questions we are asked most often by people considering coach training. On the surface, it sounds like a practical question about dates and deadlines. Underneath it, there is often a much bigger story. Many people have been thinking about becoming a coach for several years. They have researched courses, imagined a different career and questioned whether coaching could become part of their future. By the time they finally decide to take action, they are ready to begin immediately. We understand that feeling. Zoe reflects on how she can spend a long time thinking through a decision, yet once she has made it, she wants everything to happen straight away. Jo shares a different perspective. When she trained as a coach, she wanted a rigorous and challenging programme that gave her enough time to absorb the experience and grow through it. In this episode, we explore the different routes available for becoming a qualified coach and explain how long each coaching qualification can take. For someone seeking foundational coaching skills, an ILM Level 3 Certificate in Coaching can potentially be completed in as little as three months. It provides a recognised coaching qualification and can be a strong route for people who want to introduce coaching into an existing role, develop their communication skills or explore coaching before committing to a deeper programme. The Level 3 route can also work well for professionals who already support people in another capacity. This could include counsellors, teachers, nurses, physiotherapists, driving instructors or practitioners working in wellbeing and personal development. They may already have considerable experience working with people and want to add a structured coaching approach to their existing skills. For those wanting to become an independent coach and support clients through more complex personal or professional change, an ILM Level 5 or Level 7 coaching qualification may be more appropriate. These programmes offer a deeper, highly experiential coach training experience. Learners are coached regularly, practise their coaching skills throughout the programme and work with a larger number of practice clients. The training explores areas such as mindset, identity, beliefs, values, emotions and sustainable behavioural change. The fastest completion time for the Level 5 programme has been around nine months, while the Level 7 programme has been completed in approximately twelve months. More commonly, learners complete Level 5 in around twelve to eighteen months and Level 7 in approximately sixteen months to two years. The length of coach training depends on several factors. The format of the programme matters, as weekly evening sessions will create a different timeline from intensive full-day training. The availability of practice clients also plays a part, along with how many coaching relationships a learner feels able to manage alongside work, family and other commitments. There is flexibility within the process. Learners generally have up to three years to complete their qualification, and additional support may be available when unexpected life events affect their progress. The aim is not to force every learner through the same timeline, but to provide a pathway that allows them to complete their coaching qualification in a sustainable way. We also discuss an important misconception: you do not necessarily need to wait until every assignment has been completed before beginning to develop your coaching business. While learners are building their coaching hours, they can start exploring their message, audience, services, branding and pricing. Practice clients may ask to continue working together or recommend the coach to someone else. With the right insurance, ethical boundaries and transparency about where they are in their training, learners may begin taking paid clients during their qualification. The real question is therefore not only, "How quickly can I train as a coach?" It is also: What type of coaching do I want to offer? How deeply do I want to develop my skills? What learning environment will help me thrive? How can I begin creating my future while I am still training? Speed matters, particularly when you feel ready for change. However, choosing the fastest coaching course is not always the best strategic decision. The right programme should reflect the type of coach you want to become and the clients you hope to support. One of the most interesting things we see is that people often begin their training eager to qualify quickly. Once they are immersed in the programme, meeting other coaches and experiencing their own personal development, many of them no longer want to rush. Coach training can become far more than a professional qualification. It can reshape how you listen, communicate, lead, think and relate to the people around you. You can begin training as a coach as soon as you make the decision and enrol. The length of the journey will depend on the route you choose, but the learning and transformation can begin from day one.

Level 3 training is well suited to people seeking foundational coaching skills or adding coaching to an existing profession. Learners wanting to offer transformational coaching as an independent practitioner may benefit from a Level 5 or Level 7 qualification. A Level 5 qualification commonly takes around twelve to eighteen months, while Level 7 may take approximately sixteen months to two years. Course format, personal capacity and the availability of practice clients can significantly affect the completion timeline. Coach training should be selected according to the type of coaching you want to offer, rather than speed alone. Learners can begin developing their coaching business, services and positioning while completing their qualification. Ethical practice, appropriate insurance and transparency are essential when beginning to work with paying clients during training. A coaching qualification can create personal transformation as well as professional development. Many learners begin wanting to qualify quickly but later value having more time to absorb and enjoy the experience.   Keywords: how quickly can I train as a coach, how long does it take to become a coach, coach training, coaching qualification, become a qualified coach, coaching certification UK, accredited coaching course, ILM Level 3 coaching, ILM Level 5 coaching, ILM Level 7 coaching, transformational coaching, professional coach training, start a coaching business, coaching practice clients, online coaching qualification,

The Speed of Implementation: Collapsing Timelines to Success The value of an idea is determined by how quickly you put it into action. Knowledge alone does not create results. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why speed of implementation is one of the most powerful advantages an entrepreneur can build. Too many founders confuse learning with progress. They attend seminars, take notes, and buy courses—but never change how they operate. Information sitting in a notebook does not generate revenue. Execution does. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why the gap between learning and execution destroys momentum• How intellectual procrastination keeps businesses stuck• Why fast implementation can help you outpace smarter competitors• How rapid deployment creates a stronger and more agile organization The truth is simple: The market does not reward how much you know.

What happens when retirement becomes an opportunity to build something meaningful rather than simply step away from work?In this episode of Beyond Retirement, Jacquie Doucette sits down with Sandy Laneville to explore how retirement can become a time of contribution, connection, and personal growth.Sandy's journey began with a career in municipal recreation before she chose to stay home to raise her children. Over the years, she continued to find ways to contribute — volunteering in the community, serving as deputy reeve in her municipality, launching a pickleball club, leading women's retreats, and teaching senior fitness classes.Through her story, Sandy illustrates that retirement is not about slowing down completely — it's about choosing how you want to spend your time and energy. From helping seniors stay active to building community programs and supporting neighbors, Sandy shows how purpose can evolve through every stage of life.Her central message is simple but powerful: follow what brings you joy, listen to that inner voice encouraging you to try something new, and remember that you don't have to be an expert to make a meaningful difference.Key Topics Covered Purpose Beyond CareerWhy many people still need a sense of contribution after leaving paid workFinding fulfillment through volunteering and community involvementIdentity TransitionsAdjusting from career roles to family and community rolesDiscovering leadership and personal strengths later in lifeStaying Active in RetirementHow movement and balance training support independenceSmall daily habits that can improve physical healthCommunity ConnectionThe importance of avoiding isolation after retirementBuilding friendships and support networks among seniorsCreating OpportunitiesStarting local initiatives like fitness groups or pickleball clubsWhy you don't have to be an expert to introduce new activitiesFollowing the Voice of JoyRecognizing what brings you energy and fulfillmentLetting joy guide decisions in retirementQuestions to Reflect OnWhat activities genuinely bring you joy right now?Is there something you've always wanted to try but never had time for?How could you contribute to your community in a small way?Are there relationships you could strengthen by reaching out more often?What would retirement look like if you designed it intentionally?ResourcesMatthew Kelly's book, Slowing Down to the Speed of Joy, https://amazon.com/dp/1635825644READY TO RAMP UP YOUR RETIREMENT JOURNEY?Start here: https://beyondretirement.ca/start-here/Book a FREE call with Jacquie: https://calendly.com/jacquiedoucette/discoveryCheck out the Beyond Retirement Library: https://placeforbooks.com**************Don't forget to check out Reinvention Rebels and grab your free gift: https://reinventionrebels.com/100Reinvention Rebels, hosted by Wendy Battles, is for women in midlife and beyond who are ready to consciously design the next chapter of their lives.

Chapter 26 - In Which Phileas Fogg and Party Travel by the Pacific RailroadChapter 27 - In Which Passepartout Undergoes, at a Speed of Twenty Miles an Hour, a Course of Mormon HistoryAmerica by rail, and Verne is clearly delighted to be writing it.Chapter 26 puts the whole party on the Pacific Railroad - the transcontinental line that was, at the time this book was written, one of the genuine wonders of the modern world, and Verne treats it as such. Then Chapter 27 gives Passepartout a captive audience situation he did not ask for and cannot escape, courtesy of a very enthusiastic Mormon gentleman with a lot of history to cover and a long stretch of track to cover it on.Honestly Passepartout deserves a rest. He is not getting one. Let's go.You could've enjoyed this full episode early if you'd been a Patron!

This week's podcast focused on one of the most common frustrations for beginner guitarists: slow chord changes. We explored why chord transitions often plateau your progress and, most importantly, offered practical strategies to fix the problem. Key Topics & TakeawaysWhy Chord Changes Can Plateau Your ProgressSlow chord changes can halt your learning momentum. This episode explores why this happens and reassures listeners that it rarely comes down to lack of talent—often, it's about how you practice.Upcoming Live Workshop AnnouncementA live “Faster Chord Changes” workshop is scheduled for June 26th at 9 PM GMT, offering live demonstrations, Q&A, and actionable exercises for improving chord transitions.Practice Studio UpdateIntroduction to Practice Studio, a new tool to track practice habits, song progress, and playing milestones, streamlining learning and identifying weak spots.The Central Concept: Efficient Movement Over SpeedOne concept discussed was that chord change speed is primarily about minimizing unnecessary finger movement. Practice efficiency and accuracy lead to increased speed as a natural byproduct.Five Most Common Mistakes Slowing Down Chord ChangesPracticing Too FastTrying to play at the speed of the original song leads to repeated mistakes. Prioritize accuracy; slow, deliberate practice will reach your goals faster.Lifting Fingers Too Far from the FretboardExcessive finger height wastes movement and makes changes less efficient. Reduce the distance your fingers travel for smoother, faster chord transitions.Ignoring Anchor Fingers or Common TonesMany chord changes share “anchor” fingers that don't need to move, or can simply slide to their new spot. Identify and utilize these pivots. Examples include moving between E minor, A minor, and C with minimal finger lifting.Practicing Songs Instead of Isolating Problem ChordsWorking through whole songs can be inefficient if the struggle is with a specific transition. Isolate and target your trouble spots directly.Ignoring Sound QualityFast changes that result in muted or buzzing strings are unhelpful. Always focus on getting a clean, clear chord sound before increasing your speed.The Shape, Sound, and Speed SystemA key theme that emerged was the “Shape, Sound, Speed” method for building reliable chord changes:Shape: Build the chord accurately, focusing on correct finger placement.Sound: Check each string individually for buzzes or mutes, adjusting until each note is clean.Speed: Gradually add movement, using a metronome and increasing tempo only after consistent accuracy.Practical routine:Minutes 1–2: Build the chord shapes with no rush.Minutes 3–4: Check and adjust for clean sound.Minute 5: Practice the transition with a metronome, focusing on fluid movement, not haste.Weekly ChallengePick your most difficult chord change and dedicate just five minutes a day using the “Shape, Sound, Speed” method. Track and share your progress through the community or podcast feedback channels.Episode RecapSeveral points were raised, including a summary of the five core mistakes and the step-by-step improvement method. Efficiency, isolated practice, attention to sound, and a mindful approach were highlighted as the best ways to make reliable progress.Resources & AnnouncementsFaster Chord Changes Workshop: June 26th, free for members or just $1 for a 2-week trial; more info through the Beginner Guitar Academy community.Practice Studio Walkthrough Video: Coming early next week for all members.Contact & Feedback: Share your experiences or seek help via the bgapodcast.com website or community channels.Remember: Faster chord changes come from moving smarter, not faster. Keep practicing, focus on efficient movement, and celebrate your progress!

How often do you find yourself rushing… even when nothing is actually wrong? You're hurrying your kids to get in the car. Speed-walking through the grocery store. Eating lunch while answering emails. Counting down to Friday. Thinking, "I just need to get through today." Somewhere along the way, I think we've started treating ordinary life like it's an emergency. I started saying these 5 words to myself... "This is not an emergency." Today we're going to talk about how to stop living like every single thing is on fire... ...because it isn't. And when you start reminding yourself that this isn't an emergency... you don't just become calmer… you become happier overall.        We Have Accidentally Turned Everyday Life Into An Emergency Think about how many times today you probably said... "Hurry." "We're late." "Come on." "We don't have time." "Let's go." Most of us are moving at emergency speed... ...without an emergency.   Ask yourself... If someone watched security camera footage of my life... would they think I was constantly responding to disasters? Or just making breakfast? Because sometimes they look exactly the same.       Examples We Rush Through Every Day Getting kids ready for school Instead of... "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!" Imagine saying internally... "This isn't an emergency." Will they still get dressed? Yes. Will yelling make it faster? Usually not. But it definitely changes everyone's morning.     Waiting in line We immediately grab our phones. Complain. Get frustrated. Instead... "This isn't an emergency." Maybe it's two extra minutes. Maybe this becomes your breathing break.   Traffic Somebody cuts you off. You're late. Heart rate skyrockets. Except... You arriving thirty seconds sooner changes almost nothing.     Grocery shopping People rush aisle to aisle. Barely noticing anyone. Never smiling. Never enjoying choosing food they'll feed their family. Life becomes one giant checklist.       Cleaning your house Instead of... "I have to get this done." Try... "I GET to create a home my family enjoys." Same task. Different experience.       Folding laundry Jay Shetty often talks about mindfulness inside ordinary moments. Laundry isn't stealing your life. Laundry IS your life. These ordinary moments ARE your life.       The "Can't Wait Until..." Trap This one is huge. People spend decades saying... "I can't wait until..." The baby sleeps through the night. They're potty trained. They're in kindergarten. Middle school. High school. College. Retirement. Vacation. Friday. Summer. The remodel is finished. When we finally move. When the house is clean. When I lose twenty pounds. Jay Shetty talks often about how our minds live in the future... and miss the only place life actually exists. Today.       What If This Was The Good Part? This might be the chapter you'll miss someday. The noisy dinner table. Little baseball cleats by the door. Teenagers asking for rides. Kids needing hugs. Messy kitchens. Dog hair everywhere. The chaos... might actually be the dream.       Looking For What's Wrong One thing I've noticed... When we're rushing... our brain becomes a problem detector. Traffic. Mess. Noise. Delays. People moving too slowly. Bad service. Rain. We're constantly scanning for irritation. Instead... What if we asked... What's beautiful about this moment? What would I miss if this disappeared tomorrow?   The Brain Finds What It Looks For If you're looking for inconvenience... you'll always find it. If you're looking for joy... you'll find that too. This is something both Mel Robbins and Jay Shetty return to in different ways: attention shapes experience. You don't control every circumstance, but you do have influence over where your mind rests.   Different Phases Of Life Young parents Instead of... "I just need bedtime." Think... "This little voice asking for one more story won't last forever."   Parents of teenagers Instead of... "I can't wait until they're independent." Think... "One day they'll stop needing me this much."   Working professionals Instead of rushing meeting to meeting... Take thirty seconds. Breathe. Drink your coffee while it's hot. Look out the window. Nothing explodes.   Entrepreneurs Everything feels urgent. Every email. Every customer. Every notification. Every opportunity. But if we're honest... very few business decisions require panic. Good businesses are built through consistent decisions... not frantic ones.       Questions To Ask Yourself Whenever you feel yourself speeding up... Ask: Is someone in danger? Is this actually urgent? Will this matter next week? Can I slow my breathing? Can I speak softer? Can I smile? Can I enjoy this? Can I choose peace instead?   My Favorite Reset Whenever I notice myself getting worked up... I literally say... "This is not an emergency." Sometimes out loud. Immediately... My shoulders drop. My breathing slows. My voice softens. I become a better mom. A better wife. A better friend. A better business owner. Not because my circumstances changed... but because my nervous system changed.   Tiny Moments That Become Better Waiting for your coffee. Watching your child tie their shoes. Cooking dinner. Folding towels. Driving to volleyball practice. Standing in line at Disneyland. Watching Little League warmups. Listening to your teenager tell a story that takes forever. Walking your dog. Sunsets. Rainstorms. Family dinners. These moments don't need to be escaped. They're the moments we're going to remember.   CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK This week... Every single time you notice yourself rushing... Pause. Take one deep breath. And simply say... "This isn't an emergency." Then intentionally slow down by just 10%. Walk slower. Talk slower. Eat slower. Drive calmer. Listen longer. Smile more. You might be surprised how much life you discover in those extra few seconds.     Life isn't usually asking us to move faster. It's asking us to be more present. The irony is that we spend so much of life racing toward the future... that we barely experience the life we're actually living. So this week... Give yourself one simple reminder. "This is not an emergency." Because most of the time... it isn't. And when you stop treating ordinary moments like crises... those ordinary moments become extraordinary. I hope this episode helps you slow down & enjoy the beautiful life you're already living.

David Hunter says stocks have another 30% of upside left — and then the biggest crash since 1929. This week the veteran contrarian returns with his most specific targets yet. David lays out the melt-up he's been calling for, the global bust he thinks follows it, and the staggering amount of money he believes central banks will have to print to dig us out. He also shares his gold and silver targets, and gives his honest (and bearish) read on Bitcoin. We discuss: His targets: S&P: 10,000, Nasdaq: 36,000, Dow: 70,000, Russell: 4,000 — and why he just raised them  Why he sees an 80% bear market coming, not a normal recession The $20 trillion the Fed may be forced to print Why 25% inflation could hit by the early 2030s Gold to $7,000, silver to $200 — then far higher next cycle His bearish Bitcoin call — and what would change his mind The one signal he watches to know the top is in Whether you agree with David or not, few people lay out a case this clearly.

Send us Fan MailWhat separates elite jumpers from everyone else? According to legendary performance coach Jeremy Fisher, it isn't just strength—it's mastering movement.In this episode of Plates and Pancakes, Steven sits down with one of the most respected coaches in track and field to discuss the biomechanics behind explosive performance. Jeremy breaks down why sprint mechanics, posture, hip position, and technical precision are the true foundations of speed and jumping ability, and how the weight room should enhance those qualities rather than replace them.The conversation dives into developing high school and collegiate athletes, the importance of teaching movement before loading strength, and why America continues to produce talented jumpers who struggle to transition into international medal contenders.Whether you're a strength coach, track and field coach, sports performance coach, athlete, or parent, this episode is packed with practical coaching insights that can immediately improve athletic development.In this episode:* Sprint mechanics for explosive athletes* Long jump, high jump, and triple jump technique* Why biomechanics matter more than chasing bigger lifts* Developing speed through proper posture and hip position* Eccentric, isometric, and concentric training methods* Dynamic core stability for athletic performance* K-Box, VertiMax, and specialized performance training tools* Motor learning and skill acquisition* Building explosive power that transfers to sport* The future of American track and field developmentIf you're serious about speed training, vertical jump development, explosive power, athletic performance, biomechanics, strength and conditioning, sprint coaching, and track and field, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.

Philippa is back with Lucy Speed, who plays Stella Pryor in The Archers, for part two — and this time the Facebook group gets their say.Lucy answers questions on everything from whether Stella would save Rosie or Cleo in a disaster (the answer is very clear), to whether a prenup would make life easier for everyone at Brookfield. She talks about not knowing Stella and Pip would get together when she first joined, what Stella's wedding outfit might look like, and whether the baby question could derail the wedding entirely.Also: Thor the miniature dachshund makes his podcast debut, Lucy reveals she played thirteen different characters in Radio 4's Don Quixote, why she has loved radio since childhood, and who Stella would choose as her Race Across the World partner — with a strong case made for Rex.Part one of this interview is available now if you missed it.Topics covered: Stella Pryor | Pip Archer | Lucy Speed | Thor | Rosie | Cleo | Wedding | Prenup | Race Across the World | Rex | Radio 4 | Don Quixote | The Archers 2026SUPPORT ALL ABOUT THE ARCHERS:You can BUY US A COFFEE here: buymeacoffee.com/allaboutthearchersYou can buy our MERCH here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/aboutthearchers/shopDo join our FACEBOOK Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1127587031446013/ Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailCatherine D'Aragon, CEO of First Aid Beauty, joins Skin Anarchy to discuss how the brand built its barrier science foundation years before barrier repair became a trend, why it develops products around problems instead of buzzy ingredients, how it responds to dupes, what changed after the P&G acquisition, and the GLP-1 body care innovation coming next. Below are the biggest questions answered in this episode.Did First Aid Beauty focus on barrier repair before it was a trend?Yes. The brand was founded in 2009 around sensitive skin, and its hero product, Ultra Repair Cream, carries a clinical claim of strengthened skin barrier in seven days, long before barrier language dominated the market. D'Aragon is direct about the wave of newcomers: "There's a lot of brands that came in and said, oh, we invented barrier repair, and now we're the brand for barrier repair." First Aid Beauty simply talked about it as sensitive skin science, and every formula since has been built to strengthen the barrier.How does First Aid Beauty decide which skincare trends to follow?By evaluating the science behind the trend rather than chasing it. "We need to evaluate the science behind the trend... we don't develop product in three months. We develop product, it takes years to develop." The brand does listen to its community for new ways to use existing products: the KP Bump Eraser body scrub was developed for keratosis pilaris, but when consumers began using it to prep skin before tanning, the brand added that usage to its messaging. Trends can expand how a product is talked about, but they never start the development process.How do you build a skincare brand that lasts?Stay true to the brand DNA through every launch decision. First Aid Beauty was founded to deliver problem solving formulas for sensitive skin with a luxurious experience, filling the gap between effective but joyless drugstore products and sensorial prestige ones. D'Aragon admits the brand once drifted: "We kind of went off track and we launched product that was really not in that kind of problem solution sensitive skin, and we decided to discontinue those products." Anything that makes sensitive skin react in testing never launches, no matter how promising.Is retinol safe for sensitive skin?Conventional retinol often is not, which is why First Aid Beauty spent years solving the problem before entering the category. "We spent like three years researching and we found a very specific technology about encapsulated retinol with slower delivery, then it's less irritation." The encapsulation slows release into the skin, delivering the antiaging benefit without the stripping that disqualifies most retinol products for reactive skin.Can exfoliation work for sensitive skin?Yes, if the acids are chosen for gentleness rather than intensity. The Facial Radiance Pads pair glycolic acid with lactic acid, a gentler acid, to deliver what D'Aragon calls "real exfoliation, but without the irritation." The combination approach reflects the same principle as the retinol work: the category is not off limits for sensitive skin, but the formulation has to be rebuilt around it.Who is the First Aid Beauty customer?Not one person but several distinct tribes, which the brand studies through extended consumer research sessions. "We call it the simple girl, the person that just wants simple product that works and is tired of the trend and is tired of going to social media." Other tribes are actively problem solving specific skin concerns. The brand adapts its messaging to each tribe but never adapts the products themselves, which stay anchored to the science.How does First Aid Beauty respond to dupes?By testing them head to head rather than ignoring them or cutting prices. "We buy the product, we tried it, and we try to find why we have superiority claims. And every time we are superior versus the competition." Superiority shows up in ingredient selection, concentrations suited to sensitive skin, and even material choices like the fabric of the pads. The brand holds its accessible pricing rather than racing dupes to the bottom, and focuses on educating consumers about the differences.Are skincare dupes as good as the original?D'Aragon encourages consumers to investigate rather than assume. "Look at the concentration of the acid, of any ingredient that is important for that product. Look at the combination of ingredients and look it up and try it if you want." Her confidence comes from watching the pattern play out: many consumers try the dupe, then return to the original because it delivers on its promise.Did the P&G acquisition change First Aid Beauty?The brand gained resources without losing its identity. Access to P&G research and development means even more rigorous science, testing, and safety standards, though it can slow launches. "Sometimes we're a little bit slower to launch some products... but at the end of the day, for the consumers, I think it's a plus." The brand also kept its Boston offices and much of its original team rather than relocating to P&G headquarters, preserving the culture that built it.Are indie skincare brands tested as rigorously as big company brands?Not always, and D'Aragon says consumers rarely realize it. Speed to market can come at the cost of testing depth: "In three, four months, you have a new product coming out to life. But has it gone through all the testing? I'm not sure. The US market is not that regulated." She argues that big company ownership, often framed as diluting a brand, can actually mean a safer product because of the additional scientific rigor behind it.How does First Aid Beauty choose new ingredients?Problem first, never ingredient first. "We don't innovate by ingredient because something is buzzy. We innovate by what's the next problem to solve." Once the problem is defined, the team researches which ingredients can solve it safely for sensitive skin. D'Aragon's logic is durability: a buzzy ingredient fades within a year or two, but the problem a product solves remains, which is why Ultra Repair Cream still works across countless scenarios years later.Is First Aid Beauty launching a GLP-1 skincare product?Yes, in body care. D'Aragon revealed that the brand's next innovation targets skin changes from GLP-1 weight loss: "That's gonna be our next innovation next year, in that body GLP-1, to help people with the saggy skin." She frames it as a problem affecting every age and gender that few brands are addressing, consistent with the brand's approach of solving unsexy problems the fancy skincare world ignores.Why doesn't First Aid Beauty lead with fragrance in body care?Because the brand solves problems, and fragrance is not a problem. "There's a lot of brands that are leading with their fragrance. And we will never lead by fragrance... we're there to help you fix some problem." First Aid Beauty was in body care years before the current boom, anchored by the KP franchise, and its ingrown hair pads have become a fast growing product for men and women alike. A generic shower gel or body lotion will never launch because it solves nothing.What leadership advice does Catherine D'Aragon offer?"Agility, flexibility, adaptation, resilience are all qualities that are super important." With teams split across Boston, New York, and Cincinnati, she also insists on protecting time together in person, arguing that the human interaction lost during COVID never fully returned at brands that stayed remote, and that no amount of collaboration tooling replaces it.What career advice does she have for people entering the beauty industry?Rotate through as many functions as possible in the first decade: influencer work, PR, social media, brand marketing. Stay humble through industry cycles, because some years will be tough regardless of talent. Above all: "Be curious, try a lot of things, but also be curious outside of beauty and see what other categories are doing." She notes the industry has reinvented itself roughly 25 times during her career, and curiosity is what keeps a marketer relevant through every wave.Listen to the full episode with Catherine D'Aragon of First Aid Beauty on Skin Anarchy, available wherever you get your podcasts.Shop First Aid BeautyDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

Podcasting is lousy with guests who peddle advice about starting businesses, building careers, and living full lives. Few of these gurus have actually accomplished anything. Fewer still have advice that comes anywhere close to revelatory. Mark Pincus is the rare exception. The founder of 10 companies, Mark is best known for Zynga, the gaming juggernaut behind FarmVille and Words With Friends. At its peak, Zynga was valued at more than $12 billion and accounted for 20% of Facebook's page views. It was so big, in fact, that Mark Zuckerberg once admitted to Mark Pincus, “Zynga is the only company that is capable of being an actual Facebook competitor.” Across his 30-year career, Mark — Pincus, not Zuck — developed a cheat code for building products people love and living a life anyone would admire, and that cheat code winds its way through his new book, Life at the Speed of Play. Today, he shares how he learned to trust his gut, why most founders build too much and test too little, and how failure taught him to move faster, pivot sooner, and search for real signals instead of hope.

Back again with some great questions from you!! We start with the ongoing dilemma of speed work and how to handle it best when training for long course racing. We talk with what we thought was an ex-Badger lineman about how much to increase bike volume from a 70.3 to a full. We discuss what makes a race course "fair" vs. something we feel is getting dumbed down. We talk about the warm up as it relates to racing and how we can somehow feel better after going deep into training sets. Plus, much more sprinkled in to take you to the top of the podium, or simply feel better and stick with your plan. Topics: Tour de France What a controlled swim feels like Speed work, track work and it's relation to triathlon long course training Does a former Badger lineman jump into the question pool?

Kevin Mulcahy talks about using constraints to develop more complete athletes, helping gifted players move beyond their natural strengths, and designing practices that build decision-making, speed, and adaptability. He shares practical ideas for manipulating time, space, and rules to shape behavior, discusses balancing coordination work with game-based learning, and explains how individual athlete profiles, including explosive versus endurance-oriented players, should influence speed development, conditioning, and long-term injury prevention. Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength and Lila Exogen.

How are emerging financial technologies transforming the operational landscape for freight businesses, and how can automation mitigate key operational risks like tribal knowledge? With systems development and financial literacy posing significant challenges for freight businesses, Tank Payments' co-founder Matt Rybak shares how their automated financial back-office software is simplifying the complex "factor-broker-carrier stack!"  Since money is never free, managing cash flow, accurate billing, and timely invoicing are crucial for maintaining healthy DSO (Days Sales Outstanding) cycles.  Tank Payments works continuously in the background, acting as a virtual employee to automate routine accounting tasks and manage key processes like cash posting, which minimizes the dangerous "death by a thousand cuts" caused by hidden SaaS fees. By digitizing tribal knowledge and standardizing critical back-office operations, freight organizations can improve billing efficiencies, run leaner operations, and build long-term enterprise value that ensures business continuity!   Connect with Matt Website: https://tankpayments.com/  Email: matt@tankpayments.com   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewrybak/  

Why do so many great ideas never become finished projects?

Have you been praying about your business and feeling like God is completely silent? Friend, you are not broken and he has not stopped speaking.  In this episode, I break down the real reason Christian women can't hear God clearly in their businesses, and it has nothing to do with your faith level or how hard you've been trying.  This episode introduces the S.T.A.T.I.C Blockers Framework- three core reasons you are missing God's voice: Speed (moving too fast to receive), Trust Deficit (hearing Him but not believing it's Him), and Agenda (coming to God with an answer instead of a question). Each blocker is grounded in Scripture, including 1 Kings 19:12, John 10:27, Proverbs 3:5-6, James 1:5, and Psalms 46:10. You'll learn why God's voice is a whisper not a burning bush, and why consistency in the quiet is how you build the frequency to hear Him.  You will learn a practical Four-Step Action Plan: creating a daily 15-minute God slot, writing down every business nudge you've been dismissing, identifying your hidden agenda, and praying a specific surrender prayer out loud. These are the steps that actually change things. God is not playing hide and seek with you. He is not withholding. He is a generous, communicative God who has been trying to get through and the only thing standing between you and His voice is the static you're allowing.  I pray this episode helps you get quiet enough to hear Him.   Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?   Join my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp! I'll show you how to create a podcast that makes steady income on autopilot, without relying on social media.
