1 John 2 pt10 - Spotting Counterfeits by Ray Jensen

Every hashgachah peratit story that we hear is meant to strengthen our emunah that Hashem is intimately involved in every detail of our lives. He knows exactly what we need and can provide it in the blink of an eye. Our responsibility is to recognize this, and to pray with the deep belief that Hashem is always with us. The rabbi from yesterday's story shared his own powerful experience. A few years ago, he needed a critical medical procedure that could only be done in the United States. The cost: forty thousand dollars out of pocket. He had nowhere near that kind of money, and the procedure was essential. He reached out to a chesed organization for help, and then, without much of a plan, boarded a plane from Israel to New York. When he landed, he called his mother for advice. With only $250 in his pocket and no idea where to turn, he was desperate. His mother suggested he try a very wealthy man who was known for generosity and who lived in Monsey during the summer. She urged him to knock on his door and ask for help. So he took $100 — almost half of the little money he had — and paid for a taxi to the man's house. He knocked repeatedly, but no one answered. The house seemed empty. Frustrated, he called his mother back. She had no more ideas. Now he was stuck in Monsey, drained of money, no plan, no connections — and the hot sun beating down on him. Then he became very thirsty. Spotting a shul, he went inside to look for water. Inside the hallway was one man, pacing back and forth, engrossed in a phone call. The moment he saw the rabbi, he stopped and asked who he was. When the rabbi told him his name, the man's face changed. "I know who you are," he said. "You're here trying to get a medical procedure, and you need $40,000." The rabbi was stunned. He had never seen this man before. How could he know so much? The man began interrogating him, demanding to know who had told him to come to this shul. The rabbi insisted that no one told him — he had simply come in because he was thirsty. The man explained: "I raise millions of dollars every year for people in need. But the demand is so great that I sometimes have to hide out in different places just to breathe. Today, I picked this shul, where I was sure no one would disturb me." At that very moment, he was on the phone with the very chesed organization the rabbi had contacted, discussing the rabbi's case. They had asked him to take on raising the $40,000, and he had flatly refused, saying he already had too many obligations. But now, staring at the rabbi who had just "randomly" walked into the building, he realized this was not random at all. "Now I see that Hashem Himself sent you here," he said. "And because of that, I will raise the money for you." And so it was. The rabbi received the full $40,000 for his medical procedure. Think about it. He stepped off a plane into a city of millions of people and millions of buildings. Hashem led him straight to the one building, at the one moment, where the exact person who was destined to be his messenger was waiting. Hashem can do the same for each of us. The more we strengthen our belief and pour our hearts into tefillah, the more clearly we will see His hashgachah in our lives.

How to spot counterfeits.
In this episode of Tea with GaryVee 91, I talk about why most people already know what to do — they just don't want to put in the work. We break down the importance of discipline, how to spot cultural trends early, and why judging yourself for how you handle adversity only slows you down. I also share how to truly understand your customers' pain points and what to look for when choosing the right partners for your business. If you care about building something that lasts, this episode will give you both the mindset and the strategy.

https://jo.my/3ew2xh Incident Reporting & Root Cause Analysis: Tools for Root Cause Analysis If something goes wrong in your facility, how you respond matters just as much as what happened. That's where incident reporting and root cause analysis come in. These two things help us figure out why incidents happen—and more importantly, how to stop them from happening again. It's not just paperwork. It's prevention. Reporting gives us the facts. Root cause analysis provides us with the fix. When done right, they work hand in hand to build a safer warehouse for everyone on the floor. Here's the thing: incidents don't always scream for attention. Sometimes it's a small slip, a near miss, or a pattern that's just starting to form. Spotting it early and digging into the root cause can keep the next one from being a serious injury. Here are a few ways to strengthen how your facility handles incident reporting and root cause analysis: Start with the 5 Whys. If something seems off, ask “Why?”—five times in a row. Sounds simple, but it helps peel back the layers. For example, A worker trips. Why? There was a cord in the walkway. Why? It wasn't secured. Why? The cable cover was missing. You get the idea. You're not just treating the symptom—you're chasing down the source. Use a fishbone diagram for bigger problems. When it's not clear-cut, bring in a fishbone diagram—also known as the Ishikawa method. It maps out possible causes like equipment, process, people, or environment. Great for breaking down multi-layer issues without getting overwhelmed. Write it down. All of it. Don't rely on memory. Document what happened, what was found, and what was done to fix it. Include who was involved, when it was reported, and any immediate actions taken. If it's not written, it didn't happen. Look for trends over time. One-off incidents are one thing. But if the same kind of issue keeps showing up? That's a red flag. Reviewing reports monthly or quarterly can reveal patterns before they lead to bigger problems. Share what you learn. Don't keep it locked in one department. If a root cause is found and corrected, others can benefit too. Post it on a safety board. Bring it up at shift meetings. Use those lessons to raise the bar across the entire warehouse. As always, these are potential tips for you. Please be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility. Incident reporting and root cause analysis aren't just for when something goes wrong. They're tools to keep things going right. When you treat every incident or near miss like a clue—and not just a checkbox—you're building real safety awareness. The more eyes on the process, the better. Everyone in the warehouse can help spot hazards, flag concerns, and push for fixes that last. It's how you stop repeat problems before they start. Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time—have a great week, and STAY SAFE! #Safety #SafetyCulture #IncidentReporting #RootCauseAnalysis #WorkplaceSafety #StaySafeAtWork

Most people don't know how to tell if their financial advisor is great—or just great at sounding confident. In this episode, Pete and Dame unpack the real red flags to watch for when you're getting financial advice… without turning it into a witch hunt. They'll break down the difference between a bad actor and a bad fit, decode advisor-speak (“We'll rebalance with a tactical overlay!”), and show you how to spot when someone's more interested in selling than solving. Plus, they'll explain what good advice actually feels like—clear, consistent, and curious about your life. This isn't an “advisors are evil” episode. It's a smarter take on how to protect yourself and still believe in the power of good guidance.
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with teacher and mind-body guide Sam Miller to unpack why your symptoms aren't the problem, they're your body's solution. We dig into repression, the shadow, nervous system myths, and how to actually allow emotions to complete so you can return to real regulation (without biohacks, force, or fixing).What I Cover in This Episode:✨ Symptoms as the solution — Why anxiety, fatigue, pain, and ED behaviours are the healing process trying to complete, not enemies to fight✨ Repressed charge & the shadow — How unfelt fear/grief/anger get stored in the body and surface when you're finally safe enough to feel✨ The “allowing” method — A simple, titrated way to meet sensations (not stories) and let the energy finish its arc✨ Breath that doesn't backfire — When breathwork helps, when it overwhelms, and how to “be breathed” at the edge of resistance✨ Primary vs. secondary emotions — Spotting shame/anxiety as blockers so you can access the real thing underneath✨ Coping mechanisms with compassion — Why food rules, over-exercise, purging, biohacking & perfectionism were brilliant adaptations...until they weren't✨ The nervous system reframe — Regulation isn't something you do to yourself; it's what happens when you stop resisting what wants to move✨ Integration matters — Why the sleepy, foggy “after” (tingles, yawns, warmth) is your system updating, not you “relapsing”✨ Identity, control & safety — Letting the costume fall away, meeting the fear of rejection/abandonment, and building inner safety as the adult self✨ ED specifics — Extreme hunger, purge urges, and the “runner's high” explained through survival energy (plus what to do in the moment)Powerful quotes from the episode:
Overthinking shows up as research without drafts, resumes that never get sent, and weeks of “planning” with nothing shipped. In this episode, I map out concrete ways to move from thinking to doing without burning out. We walk through fear types (failure, rejection, judgment, and even success) and simple reframes that keep you moving. You'll learn how to turn rejection into useful data, set one clear priority each day, and use time blocks and short deadlines so work actually leaves your laptop. We also cover how to pace growth so a bigger role feels sustainable, not scary, and how to build lightweight systems and feedback loops so you improve with every rep. If you're applying, aiming for promotion, or restarting after a stall, you'll leave with a clear way to pick an action, ship it within 24 hours, and review what happened. No pep talks, just steps.

In this episode of Run the Numbers, CJ sits down with Michael Stanisz, Partner at Revenue Management Labs, the person companies call when their pricing model stops making sense. For decades, software pricing was predictable: sell more seats, add more margin. But with AI, every usage prompt has a real cost, and the old economics no longer hold. CJ and Michael dive into what happens when your product looks like software but behaves like infrastructure, how pricing power erodes as features become free, and why value-based pricing might not be as customer-friendly as it sounds. They also explore the chaos of real-world pricing: from Microsoft cloning your startup to measuring ROI when your product's impact is undeniable but hard to prove; all wrapped in sharp insights and a few “we still run this on DOS” war stories.—LINKS:Michael on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-stanisz-27418a28Revenue Management Labs: https://revenueml.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: https://www.mostlymetrics.com—RELATED EPISODES:“Anything new needs to have AI core to its offering”: Amy Butte, How Navan Is Redefining Finance OpsFrom Credit Karma to Notion: CFO Rama Katkar on Leading Finance Through Every Growth Stage—TIMESTAMPS:(00:00:00) Preview and Intro(00:02:23) Sponsor – Rillet, Fidelity Private Shares, and Mercury(00:05:27) The new economics of AI pricing(00:07:51) When variable costs replace software margins(00:10:30) The fall of 80% SaaS margins(00:13:23) From premium feature to table stakes(00:15:07) Sponsor – RightRev, Tipalti, and Aleph(00:19:12) Spotting a feature before it becomes a commodity(00:23:31) The real cost of switching and why stickiness matters(00:27:46) The rise of AI white labeling(00:30:03) Outcome-based pricing — altruism or strategy?(00:34:22) Rewarding throughput and avoiding “tollbooth” pricing(00:36:29) Measuring usage and why telemetry matters(00:40:49) What makes a value exchange credible(00:44:14) Cost avoidance vs. revenue gain(00:46:02) The stages of pricing maturity(00:49:49) Why startups see what big companies can't(00:52:09) When hype meets hard costs in AI(00:55:17) When customers refuse to leave on-prem(01:03:29) Credits and Sign-Off—SPONSORS:Rillet is the AI-native ERP modern finance teams are switching to because it's faster, simpler, and 100% built for how teams operate today.

In this episode, I'm sharing why the whole “you are your own niche” narrative is complete BS - and what to do instead. This idea sounds empowering, but it's actually holding so many brilliant business owners back from real growth. I talk about how I came to this realisation myself, what finally clicked when I started niching down, and why clarity is your best marketing strategy. I'll walk you through how to attract the right clients without boxing yourself in, how depth creates demand, and how to niche in a way that still feels authentic and expansive. If you've been resisting the niche conversation, this one's going to shift everything.

Practical Guidance for Managers When it comes to managing workplace issues, prevention is always better than cure. In this episode 253 of the Employment Law & HR Podcast, we dive into why early action matters, how to spot the signs of trouble, and practical steps you can take to stop minor issues from escalating into costly legal problems. In this episode, we cover: Why early action is often avoided by employers and managers. The real cost of delaying action on workplace concerns. Spotting the early warning signs that something isn't right. How to have effective “fix it” conversations with employees. When to use mediation as a tool to rebuild trust. How recent legal developments under the Employment Rights Act 2025 increase the need to act early. “The best employers set their teams up for success by addressing concerns before they become conflicts.” Why This Matters Too often, organisations wait too long to address performance or behaviour concerns—leading to grievances, resignations, or tribunal claims. Early, fair, and well-documented action not only reduces legal risk but builds trust and stronger workplace cultures. Common Scenarios Where Early Action Makes a Difference A small clash over workload expectations turns into a bullying allegation. Personality clashes that go unchecked end in formal grievances. Persistent lateness leads to dismissal and an unfair dismissal claim. Failure to address wellbeing concerns leads to long-term sickness absence. Practical Tips from the Episode Use simple, open language: “I've noticed a change — is everything okay?” “Let's talk about how we can resolve this early.” Document informal conversations. Consider mediation early to prevent escalation. Escalate when the issue involves serious allegations or risks. Key Takeaways Act early — don't wait for issues to grow. Communicate openly, calmly, and empathetically. Keep records of informal actions and discussions. Mediation can save relationships and reduce conflict. Seek professional advice when in doubt.

Primordial Earth Discovery: Researchers have identified what may be the first physical traces of primordial Earth, dating back over 4.5 billion years, suggesting fragments of the planet's original materials still exist deep within the mantle. This groundbreaking study challenges previous assumptions about Earth's turbulent beginnings and the impact that formed the Moon.Dark Matter Interactions: New theoretical work proposes that dark matter might interact with normal matter through a subtle dark force, rather than solely through gravity. This concept could help explain anomalies in galaxy rotation curves and may require highly sensitive experiments to detect these weak interactions.Spotting the Andromeda Galaxy: The Andromeda Galaxy, our closest major galactic neighbor, is visible to the naked eye under dark skies. Listeners can learn how to locate it using the constellation Andromeda and the great square of Pegasus, and discover its significance as it approaches a future merger with the Milky Way.Green Fireball Meteor Over Tennessee: Residents in Tennessee witnessed a brilliant green fireball meteor, characterized by its striking emerald hue due to high concentrations of magnesium and nickel. This event offers scientists valuable insights into the composition of meteoroids and their interactions with Earth's atmosphere.Foldable Solar Sails for Space Travel: An innovative concept involving foldable solar sails for aerobraking and atmospheric reentry could revolutionize space travel. These sails would increase drag during atmospheric entry, reducing the need for propellant and allowing for more efficient missions.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Dave Asprey—serial entrepreneur, bestselling author, and Bulletproof founder—went from making $6M by 26 to losing it all two years later. By 30, a health crash (testosterone lower than his mom's, multiple diagnoses) pushed him to spend millions hacking his biology. He ultimately built Bulletproof to $140M in annual revenue—then was removed from the board in what he calls a calculated coup that cost him hundreds of millions. Now, as CEO of Upgrade Labs, he's focused on making elite biohacking accessible. This conversation goes well beyond cold plunges and butter coffee. Dave maps the decisions he wishes he'd made sooner: firing the $28M mistake, spotting narcissists quickly, and sorting win-win from win-lose people before they poison their business' culture. We explore how birth trauma shows up in leadership, why empathy drains while compassion sustains, and how to step out of the victim–perpetrator–savior triangle. He shares hiring guardrails (the “first-wiggle” rule, real reference checks, the 60-day policy) and therapeutic/energetic tools founders can use immediately. If you're building through chaos—navigating toxic team members, your own triggers, or both—you'll leave with concrete ways to protect your company, your energy, and your judgment. Key Takeaways and Topics The $28M lesson: recognize the “first wiggle” and act right away Four categories of people (win-win to win-lose) and who to hire Red flags: instant “best friend” chemistry, envy tells, and trauma bonds How to reference-check and background diligence Empathy vs. compassion: boundaries that protect teams and CEOs Business drama patterns and how leaders step out of them Forgiveness as a nervous-system reset; going no-contact with manipulators Energy as a leadership edge: willpower and decision quality Daily levers: intermittent fasting and nighttime darkness The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.

You'll walk away with tools for: Spotting when your ego's running the show (and how to return to alignment) Using courage as your daily business strategy Creating real-time authenticity that builds trust and influence Get ready to rewrite your story — one courageous move at a time.

Intrigued by the boy's curiosity and appalled that he's never fished, Chief teaches Henry the art of fly casting with rhythmic hand claps and patient guidance. Soon, they share euphoric mornings on the lake, anchoring near a gnarled underwater branch where the scent of bedding bluegill fills the air. Henry's first catch—a shimmering bluegill—hooks him forever, and they fish together for years, forging a bond like father and son. Years later, after college, Henry returns home eager to reunite with Chief, only to learn he's confined to a nursing home. Spotting the frail man gazing longingly at a pond, Henry shares tales of Montana trout fishing, evoking Chief's youthful spirit. When Chief wistfully admits his dying wish is to fish with "his boy" again, Henry hatches a daring plan. Feigning a simple outing, he wheels Chief to the car, and they escape to Chief's overgrown property, adrenaline surging like a prison breakout. Dust-covered treasures await in the barn: fly rods Chief had saved for this very hope. Rigging the canoe and Chief's favorite popping bug, they glide to the familiar spot. As Chief inhales the musty bluegill scent and casts with trembling hands, landing a fish that bends his rod, time reverses. Pride and joy light his face, fulfilling a promise sealed in a framed photo labeled "For Henry," their final cast a triumphant echo of shared beginnings.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support

AI is changing the hiring process, but not in the way most candidates fear.

You'll learn what recruiters really do when hundreds of resumes flood in, how Boolean keyword searches work, and why tailoring your resume to the job description still matters more than any gimmick. We also cover the rise of AI-driven follow‑ups and asynchronous video interviews, how to handle bot‑like application forms, and practical ways to showcase transferable skills as a career changer. This is a candid, recruiter‑level view of the ATS, specific actions to improve your visibility, and a clear picture of what's coming next in biotech hiring so you can apply with confidence.Learn more about the Collaboratory Career Hub community and access our free resources:Join our Skool CommunityTake the Free 7-day Interview Sprint ChallengeCheck out our sister podcast: Building BiotechsSend Carina a connection request on LinkedIn!Stay connected with us:

You 3.0 – Breaking Free from the Illusion of Comfort - Spotting and Capturing Windows of Opportunity There are moments in life when the atmosphere shifts—when a diagnosis, a breakup, a failure, or even a quiet reflection stares you down with a choice: stay the same or step into something radically new. I call these moments windows of opportunity—temporary portals that invite you to rise into a version of yourself you've never met before. In this episode, I share what I've learned about spotting these windows, what it takes to move through them before they close, and why You 3.0 is not just an upgrade—it's a rebirth. Drawing on my own health journey and the wisdom of mentors like Dr. Pat Gentempo, I unpack the three phases of seizing a window: The Spark of Opportunity – when motivation feels high and the timing seems perfect (but won't last). The Crux of Commitment – the struggle point where most quit, but where transformation truly begins. Integration – the moment extraordinary habits fuse into identity, and the new you becomes non-negotiable. Along the way, we'll expose the “Little Liar” that whispers excuses, explore why comfort is the most seductive trap, and reflect on what it really takes to push past survival mode (You 1.0) and even beyond the illusion of “good enough” (You 2.0). Because You 3.0 isn't a goal. It's a place you've never been—a new identity forged in decision, follow-through, and the courage to step through the window before it shuts. Dragon Thoughts: Windows of opportunity aren't random. They're tests. They don't ask if you want change—they demand to know if you're ready to become it. Make Sense?
In this eye-opening episode of Women of Impact, host Lisa Bilyeu sits down with Dr. Abbie Maroño, a world-renowned expert in lie detection, body language, and persuasion. As a top 1% performer in her field, Dr. Abbie teaches the FBI, Secret Service, and other elite organizations how to spot deception and catch master manipulators. This conversation is an absolute must for anyone who's ever wondered, “How did I fall for that?” Dr. Abbie breaks down the psychology and subtle science behind deception, explaining why it's so hard to spot a lie… even for the smartest women. Together, Lisa and Dr. Abbie examine the unconscious behaviors and stress responses that can betray a liar, and set up practical tools for anyone to become their own lie detector and take back control in their relationships and lives. SHOWNOTES The importance of lie detection for womenStress cues in body language: self-touch, hair pulling, lip touching, fidgetingRepetitive stress behaviors and their meaningFight, flight, and nonverbal cues: reading feet and body orientation Mimicry and its impact on cooperation How to mentally note “hot spots” in conversation for revisitingUsing reverse order and observation-based questioning to reveal inconsistencies Spotting distancing language and pronoun dropThe danger of master manipulators and projecting trustworthinessThe neuroscience of trust: why we judge trustworthiness in 33 milliseconds The “good” and “bad” signs of body language (and how they can be faked) FOLLOW DR.

Brandon sits down with Mita Mallick, author of The Devil Emails at Midnight, to examine how well-intentioned managers slip into bad-boss behaviors and what leaders can do to course-correct. They discuss stress and personal crises as root causes, the outsized impact managers have on employee mental health, why one-on-ones are a retention tool, and how to prevent cultures of constant urgency. You'll also hear practical tips for avoiding micromanagement, honoring names, reducing meeting bloat, and inviting real coaching from your team.

In late 2018, the Connecticut Environmental Conservation Police uncovered a chilling case involving a group of young trophy hunters. Over just a few months, they had illegally taken at least 19 deer - often during nighttime hunts near residential neighborhoods. What started as a routine investigation quickly unraveled into something far more disturbing: secret planning sessions, a manifesto detailing their exploits, and a twisted tribute to the grandfather who taught them to night hunt.
