Podcasts about Spotting

Most people spend twenty years climbing a mountain, reach the top, and realize they never wanted the view. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Robert Glazer to break down why core values are the most underused tool in leadership. They get into where your values actually come from, why you can't coach them into the people you hire, and why most leaders are measuring their teams with the wrong scorecard entirely. If you've ever hit a milestone and felt nothing, this conversation explains why, and what to do about it. Here's what you'll learn: Why your core values were set early in life, and what it costs you to lead without knowing them How to hire for the values people actually live instead of the ones they perform in interviews What separates a real company core value from a poster on the wall nobody believes in The view from the top is only worth it if you picked the right mountain to climb.

Join me today as we talk about symptom spotting during IVF through the lens of hypervigilance — why the nervous system becomes obsessed with searching for "signs," how body surveillance takes hold during infertility, and why healing may begin with learning to experience the body as a home instead of a project.

Today, we are breaking down the psychological differences between connections that are healthy and those that are just comfortable... because comfortable doesn't always mean healthy.

You didn't burn out. You just finally called your own bluff. The diagnosis isn't the story — what you do after it is.   In This Episode: Why the ADHD diagnosis is just a moment — the real story starts after Owning your triggers before things go nuclear in business and life Why awareness without action is useless for ADHD Entrepreneurs   What You'll Take Away: Labeling yourself isn't progress — changing your actions is Spotting the small triggers stops the big explosions ADHD isn't your personality — it's wiring, not a headline No system or diagnosis fixes you unless you use it The world won't change for your brain. You work with it, or you drown   ABOUT THIS EPISODE This episode The Impulsive Thinker® breaks down what really happens after getting an ADHD diagnosis as an Entrepreneur. The Impulsive Thinker® shares why knowing you have ADHD isn't enough — it's what you do next that matters. Triggers, ownership, emotional outbursts, and responsibility land hard. Raw details show how easy it is to hide behind the label, or to use awareness as an excuse not to act. This hits every ADHD Entrepreneur fed up with empty talk and ready for something real. Still using society's measuring stick? Hit play — this is for you.   Email me about it at andre@theimpulsivethinker.com. Remember — ADHD failure is measured on society's measuring stick. Not yours. Your brain runs on interest, not importance. That's not a flaw. That's a different operating system. ADHD is not a deficit. It's a difference.

Ever drown in AI prompts…only to watch your conversions flatline? I felt the same frustration when I first tried AI everything sounded generic, hooks underwhelmed, and my students weren't getting better results. Then I flipped the script. The real winners won't be the ones who outsource their brainpower but those who fuse AI with their own mastery and human insight. Today on the podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on the three pivots you need to thrive in the age of AI: • Weaving your unique expertise into every AI prompt for one-of-a-kind messaging  • AI analytics hacks to uncover hidden patterns in your own data (and your competitors')  • Simple AI workflows that slash onboarding times and supercharge fulfillment  • Spotting new problems in a shifting market and building offers that resonate  Plus, get a sneak peek at next week's episode with my buddy James Wedmore, where we'll dive into how to quantum-leap your results once you've nailed these foundations.

For many board gamers, Spiel des Jahres is simply the little red pawn on a game box. Spotting it on a shelf often suggests that a game is worth paying attention to. That's not only true in the German-speaking board game world, but also in many other countries, including the UK. Over the years, winners such as The Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, and Ticket to Ride have helped establish the award as one of the most influential honours in tabletop gaming. Yet, there is a lot more to this story. According to its own history and mission statements, the annual prize was never intended to be the end goal. Instead, it was created as a tool to encourage people to play games, to promote games as a cultural asset, and to help the wider public discover the value of gathering around a table. In the first in a series of articles, I want to look at this further.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/06/09/spiel-des-jahres-the-award-that-was-never-really-about-awards-topic-discussion/Useful LinksSpiel des Jahres (German): https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/Spiel des Jahres purpose (German): https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/sinn-und-zweck/Spiel des Jahres history (German): https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/geschichte/Spiel des Jahres FAQ (German): https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/faq/Jürgen Herz: https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/die-jury-alt-2/juergen-herz/Spielwarenmesse: https://www.spielwarenmesse.de/en/Harald Schrapers: https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/en/harald-schrapers/Martina Fuchs: https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/en/the-jury/martina-fuchs/Koschwitz zum Wochenende interview with Harald Schrapers. 31 July 2023: https://koschwitz-zum-wochenende.podigee.io/562-neue-episodeFive Games for Doomsday interview with Martina Fuchs. 9 June 2025: https://5g4d.com/podcasts/spiel-des-jahres-special-jury-member-martina-fuchsMusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Music: "Stylish Hip Hop", "Chill Hip Hop", "Ambient Lounge", "Weekdays" and "Way" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

On this episode, Vince talks with private investigator and cybersecurity expert Robert Siciliano, about some of today·s biggest threats to individuals building wealth. They discuss how AI and deepfakes are making voice and video fraud harder to detect, fueling a surge in high-dollar consumer scams, how emotions, loneliness, and default human trust drive victimization, and the importance of situational awareness and self-knowledge of vulnerabilities. They also discuss reframing security as risk management rather than paranoia, and practical defenses such as using password managers with unique passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, credit freezes, and VPNs on public Wi-Fi.

What makes a back tuck clean? When is a dancer really ready? And why does the technique matter more than just getting over? Leah Holliday returns to break down two of acro's most sought-after skills: the back tuck and back layout. This conversation goes beyond the mechanics. We talk about the mental blocks that stop progress, the drills teachers skip (and shouldn't), the spotting mistakes that compromise safety, and what it actually looks like when these skills are done right. If you've ever felt pressure to push a student faster than they're ready, or wondered why some dancers can do all the drills but can't commit to the skill, this episode will give you clarity and a path forward.

What if the real reason your Airbnb isn't booking has nothing to do with your decor, your rate, or your “perfect guest,” and everything to do with numbers you've never even looked at? Most hosts guess, tweak, and stress when bookings drop. In this solo episode of the STR Sisterhood podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on the exact data you need to stop guessing and start diagnosing your listing like a CEO.Inside the episode, I dive into:A recent wake-up call in my own business when my data vanished, and why turning on the Professional Hosting Tools toggle is a non-negotiable for every single host.How to understand your first-page search impression rate and your search-to-listing conversion (click rate) to ensure guests choose your door over the competition.Spotting the hidden deterrents like surprise checkout fees, incomplete photos, or aggressive house rules—that make guests click away without booking.Why cleanliness, check-in, and communication are the three category scores that can quietly drag down your performance if left unchecked.A simple, step-by-step practice to establish your baseline numbers today, choose one lever to pull this month, and review the results in 30 days.But this isn't just about staring at charts and graphs. It's about moving out of the drama and into leadership. I walk through how to audit each of your properties individually so you can see the exact story the data is trying to tell you. You'll hear how small, intentional adjustments to your hero photo, headline, or booking rules can radically alter your inbound demand and shift your business from a stressful side-hustle into a high-performing asset.If you're ready to stop playing guessing games with the algorithm and start making decisions based on cold, hard facts, this framework is your playbook. Get ready to log into your dashboard and step fully into leading your business with data.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS:[00:00] Welcome to a data-driven STR Sisterhood podcast episode, where I open up about the frustration of empty calendars and the shift away from reactive hosting[02:21] I share a recent experience of losing access to my Airbnb insights and the urgent setting every host needs to check [03:53] How mixed property data can mislead STR hosts and why individual listing insights matter [04:43] The first Airbnb metric hosts should track: listing views and why they matter most [05:26] The importance of first page search impression rate and how it impacts Airbnb visibility and bookings[07:14] I break down click rate as a key Airbnb metric and how it reflects how often guests choose your listing over competitors[08:17] How listing-to-booking conversion rate helps Airbnb hosts diagnose what's stopping guests from booking [09:23] Why reviews are a performance metric and how Airbnb category scores directly impact visibility and bookings[11:09] How consistent Airbnb metric tracking and community accountability turn data into clarity, confidence, and scalable growthGolden Nuggets:“You cannot improve what you don't measure.”“If nobody is seeing your property on Airbnb, nobody is booking it, that's the top of the funnel, and if it's tiny, nothing else matters.”“That's how CEOs operate. We test, we measure, we adjust.”“Knowing the numbers is one thing, sitting in a room with other women who are looking at the same levers and watching what works, that's the part that changes everything.”“You don't build this business to be buried by it. You built it to be free in it.

Left-behind dog poop is annoying. But it's also a sign of anti-sociality.Spotting unidentified poop outside is an unfortunate and unavoidable part of being alive, but in some cities, there's a scourge being left behind by some people's four-legged friends. Manuela López-Restrepo, writer and producer at All Things Considered, couldn't stop noticing it – and she wondered if it might be a sign of something deeper going on. Paired with dogs popping up in places they maybe shouldn't be – she wondered: can dogs be a vector for anti-social behavior?

A pool doesn't turn cloudy for no reason, and it rarely gets fixed by “just add more chlorine.” When water looks dull, hazy, or starts showing algae, we use a simple three-step reset that gets results fast because it treats the whole pool system: filtration, sanitation, and circulation.We start where most people don't: the filter. A dirty sand filter, DE filter, or cartridge filter can choke off flow, kill circulation, and trap the very debris you're trying to remove. We talk about knowing your clean starting PSI, what high pressure is really telling you, and the real-world signs you'll see at the skimmer or spillway when water isn't moving. If you skip this step, you can shock all day and still watch the pool stay cloudy.Then we get specific about shocking to the right level and why “err on the side of more” often makes sense when algae, combined chlorine, or heavy organic load is present. For saltwater pools, we cover when to hit boost or superchlorinate, when to dial output to 100%, and how a dirty or failing salt cell can quietly be the reason chlorine dropped to zero. Finally, we dig into the underrated move that ties everything together: running the pump 24 hours (sometimes 48), how to do it with an Intermatic timer or automation, and how to explain the electricity cost versus chemical cost to customers.If you want a practical playbook for fixing cloudy pool water, improving pool circulation, and delivering better results as a pool service pro, press play. Subscribe, share this with a pool tech who needs it, and leave a review with your go-to method for turning a pool around.We walk through the three-step process we use to turn a cloudy, algae-prone pool back to crystal clear blue without wasting chlorine. We focus on filtration, shock-level dosing, and nonstop circulation so the water actually has a chance to recover.• Spotting early signs of poor pool water quality like cloudiness and algae  • Cleaning or backwashing first so flow and circulation recover  • Using filter PSI and visual flow clues to diagnose restriction  • Sand, DE, and cartridge filter actions that “move the needle”  • Shocking to the right free chlorine level based on severity  • Setting expectations with customers about no-swim windows  • Using salt system boost and turning output to 100%  • Troubleshooting why chlorine hits zero and preventing repeats  • Running the pump 24 to 48 hours using timers or automation  • Explaining electricity cost versus chemical cost to customers  Join the pool guy coaching program.

Reid. Rising to prominence as the dynamic drummer for the hitmaking 1980s R&B band The Deal, Reid seamlessly transitioned from the stage to the boardroom, cementing his status as a visionary producer, iconic songwriter, and major label force. Throughout his illustrious career, his taste and leadership guided the culture as the co-founder of LaFace Records, and later as the chairman and CEO of some of the most powerful major labels in music history, including Arista, Island Def Jam, and Epic Records. Bringing his journey full-circle, he continues to nurture the next generation of musical innovators through Mega, his powerful label venture launched in partnership with global superstar Usher. Joining hosts Philionaire, Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony of Louis York, and Tamone Bacon, Reid engages in an open, free-flowing conversation about what it takes to shape the sound of a generation. Right from the jump, the chemistry is electric as Reid jokingly auditions to become the podcast's official fifth cast member, setting a warm and celebratory tone for an episode dedicated to giving an industry hero his well-deserved flowers. This first installment dives straight into the mind of a musical architect, exploring Reid's eclectic taste in music and his enduring philosophy on talent. The hosts cue up special video questions from fans, prompting Reid to share his candid thoughts on everything from his dream biopic casting to how he embraces AI as the next evolutionary tool for creatives and drawing a fascinating parallel to his own early days mastering the drum machine in the 1980s. He also pulls back the curtain on his legendary ability to spot undeniable star power, describing how true icons "move the air" the moment they step into a room. As the conversation unfolds, listeners are treated to an inside look at the history-making partnerships that defined an era. Reid reflects on his early days with Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds in The Deal, surviving on "pride and being broke" while studying the mastery of Prince and Luther Vandross. The episode highlights the magical intuition behind some of his biggest triumphs, including the unorthodox breaking of Toni Braxton via the Boomerang soundtrack. Grounded in a deep, mutual respect for the craft, this first part captures the essence of a man who never let boxes define him, cementing a legacy built entirely on an uncompromising love for music.

[47:36] What happens when 20 years and hundreds of conversations change the way you communicate, listen, and tell stories? In this special milestone episode, guest host Ryan Levesque turns the microphone around on Greg Gazin to reflect on the journey behind The Toastmasters Podcast, ToastCaster, and the lessons learned along the way.From launching a podcast as a Toastmasters High Performance Leadership project in 2006 to becoming host and producer of The Toastmasters Podcast, Greg shares how podcasting transformed not only his communication skills, but also the way he approaches conversations, uncovers stories, and connects with people.Along the way, the conversation revisits unforgettable moments, including interviews that created vivid “movies in the mind,” emotional discussions that revealed the human side of leadership, and the unexpected lessons that emerged from hundreds of conversations inside and outside Toastmasters.Greg also reflects on how his interviewing style evolved over time. What began as a focus on asking the “right” questions gradually became something else: learning to listen more carefully, follow curiosity, and help stories unfold naturally. The episode also includes a few behind-the-scenes stories, podcasting flubs, and some unexpected moments listeners likely will not see coming.Listeners will also hear…• How podcasting and Toastmasters helped supercharge Greg's communication skills• How Greg evolved from question asker to “story builder”• Why curiosity matters more than asking the “perfect” question• The conversation that literally gave Greg shivers while recording• A few memorable podcasting flubs and behind-the-scenes moments• The origin of Greg's “conversational runway” interviewing approach• Why some of the best podcast moments happen completely off-script• Lessons learned from guest and former co-hostSome of the most meaningful moments did not come from carefully planned questions. They came from unexpected turns, honest reflections, and the willingness to go a little deeper.And after hundreds of conversations, one lesson stands out above all: when people feel heard, remarkable stories often emerge.Greg's article, Reflecting Back: How a Simple Podcasting Project Developed into an Incredible Journey, appears in the June 2026 issue of the Toastmaster magazine. .Some additional episodes and resources mentioned in this conversation include:• #082 Introducing Greg Gazin - Newest Host of The Toastmasters Podcast • #084 Meet the 2014 World Champion of Public Speaking, Dananjaya Hettiarachchi • #100 Meet the 2015 World Champion of Public Speaking, Mohammed Qahtani• #104 Surviving Everest & the Nepali Earthquake with Sara Safari• #169 Vision Beyond Eyesight with Deborah McAlexander• #172 Confessions of a Podcast Host• #179 Finding Healing Through Service and Leadership with David Jones• #208 Don't Let Fear Hold You Back with Robert A.

The Stigma of Adult Curiosity You know it’s okay to be curious. You don’t need me to tell you that… or or or do you? Let’s think about this and we’re jumping right in. Let’s talk about curiosity and what it means to you. There have probably been a number of times in your life in which you either demonstrated curiosity or saw someone else being curious. And probably more than half the time, the person being curious was made to feel a little self-conscious about said curiosity. We sometimes equate curiosity with being nosy. Putting your interests in a place that it doesn’t belong. You know, well, leave that alone. Someone else knows about that. It’s not part of my job. I don’t know. Look, I don’t know the big picture, right? Maybe there’s a reason they do that. I don’t know. Or that information isn’t available or it’s a company secret or it’s classified. Like many things, we celebrate curiosity in children, but at some point, we don’t. At some point in someone’s developmental progress, we say, “Okay, here’s some attributes that really only stick to children.” As an adult, we don’t we don’t do that. And I think sometimes curiosity is one of those. Spotting the Spark of Genuine Interest As someone who’s given a few talks and regularly speaks up at networking events and public events, I can see curiosity from a distance. I see the sparkle in someone’s eyes. I see their face light up. And it not necessarily that I’m such a great orator, but that they’re curious about what I’m laying out. They think, “Wait a second. Okay, that’s interesting. What else? I want to hear more. They stand out to me at a distance. In fact, at a recent event, I was giving a talk and one person in the audience provided all the motivation for the talk for me. It’s because her face just lit up the entire time I was talking. You could tell that she wanted to know more and was just eating up the stuff that I was saying. and eating up is her being curious and saying, “Give me more data. I’m open to it.” That’s a cool frame of mind to be in. The Mental Energy Required to Stay Curious Well, why aren’t we all in that frame of mind 24/7? Well, it’s exhausting. Anyone who says they experience ADHD knows that for a lot of people there’s a period of hyperfocus and then there’s a period of confusion and that if you are open to a tremendous amount of data then you are processing a tremendous amount of data. I myself know I know what safeguards and restrictions I have to put on because my brain wants to process all data coming in all the time. It wants to process the two conversations going around around me in the restaurant while I’m having the conversation I’m actually involved in. I have to turn that off. And curiosity can do that to your brain. If you’re curious, you can say, “Well, why did you put that there? Why? Why is that this color? Why do you go that way? Why do you walk around the car that way? Why does this work this way? There’s a million questions. And again, as I said before, we praise children for these questions. And we chastise adults for the same. It’s very easy to put your head down and say, “Okay, that’s not my business, not my problem. I have more than enough to deal with dealing with my stuff. I don’t have the mental energy to focus on something that’s not a concern, something I don’t get paid for, something I have no control over, and frankly, I don’t have an interest in. And that’s fine. That’s perfectly fine. But but don’t let your curiosity be diminished because of a stigma or because you think you’re not allowed to or it’s a waste of energy. How Internal Questions Lead to Personal Breakthroughs Having curiosity can lead you to entirely new hobbies and even a new career. And as I said in job, career or calling, you can be focused on your job but have an entirely different calling. Your internal curiosity, in other words, your curiosity about yourself, the way you react, the way your life is, can lead you to discover things that help other people. That is a lot of the drive of how I started writing experimental psychology books. I had and have questions about my own psychology which causes me to ask questions, research, distill, and disseminate. And hopefully it helps other people who have had the same questions. Answering your own questions, not surprisingly, can help you answer other people’s questions and make you a better teacher. There are numerous examples of inventions and discoveries that were made by quote unquote normal people, quote unquote lay people, amateur astronomers, etc. that led to massive discoveries and and massive benefits for humanity because they were curious. They didn’t run into the stigma wall. They didn’t allow themselves to tell themselves that they were where they didn’t belong. Setting Healthy Boundaries for Your Inquiries Now, on the flip side of that, obviously wandering into traffic and saying, “Hey, why are you guys going this way?” Or when there’s a an active arrest going on and walking right up to the officers and saying, “Hey, what’s going on over here? What what did this guy do?” Knocking on the doors that lead to the pilots while you are mid-flight or literally grabbing the steering wheel while you’re in an Uber might all be bad ideas. They are examples of perhaps when you should curtail your curiosity. Now, there are versions of everything I just said that can be handled non-physically. You can still get answers via research, asking questions, and so forth. So, obviously, there are nuances to how you handle curiosity, but the takeaway from this is I encourage you to be curious. I encourage you to enjoy the youthful energy of curiosity and just give it a big hug when it opens its eyes every so often. That kind of thing can clarify your path, invigorate you, and kind of make you feel more alive. And I think if you’re listening to this podcast, you’re already someone that at least to a point understands that curiosity is important and you at least embrace some of it. So, keep embracing, keep looking, have fun, and I’ll see you next time.

Most people think Lean is a manufacturing methodology. Sneha Kumari lives it as a mindset.Sneha is back on Learnings & Missteps. She's the president of Merlin AI and one of the most recognized women in manufacturing; and this conversation gets into the stuff that actually moves the needle.Jesse and Sneha dig into why Lean isn't just a process tool, it's a way of thinking about simplicity, eliminating waste, and respecting people's time. That includes your team, your clients, and yes, even your kids. When you build systems — whether that's automation, AI, or a morning routine — the goal is the same: remove time as a bottleneck.They also break down how tight feedback loops change the game. Not chasing every outlier. Spotting patterns. Doing real root-cause analysis. Using an impact-versus-effort matrix to make smarter decisions faster.Sneha gets honest about what she's learned since launching Merlin AI, resilience, leading a remote global team, and how to maintain urgency without blowing up quality, safety, or delivery.And she explains what Merlin AI is actually solving: the fragmented, unpredictable mess that construction workflows still are. Orchestration and operational intelligence — predicting problems before they happen, making execution more scalable and repeatable.If you're leading people, building systems, or trying to figure out where AI actually fits in your operation, this one's for you.00:00 Feedback Loops Mindset00:14 Meet Sneha Kamari02:41 Why Lean Matters07:51 Respecting Time12:18 AI Systems Design15:27 Merlin AI Founder Lessons20:19 Mistakes And Learning22:01 Tight Feedback Loops26:42 Patterns And Priorities30:27 Orchestration Explained32:59 Operational IntelligenceGet the time management system that will make you dangerously effective: https://www.depthbuilder.com/time-management-webinar-sign-up-pageSubscribe to the Monday Morning Hugs Newsletter for thought provoking topics to accelerate your growth: LinkedIn Newsletter  Download the free PDF copy of Becoming the Promise You are Intended to Be

Dogs need more than just food and shelter. They also require mental and physical stimulation. A bored dog might appear to be lazy or a troublemaker, but in many cases, it is boredom leading to frustration that gives rise to problem behavior.

Are you stuck in a cycle of giving too much—or never quite feeling your needs are met—in your relationships? So many of us find ourselves trapped in unspoken agreements, repeating old patterns of imbalance, and wondering why our closest connections leave us feeling depleted and resentful. It's all too easy to slip into roles and routines that quietly erode intimacy, joy, and our sense of self. In this episode, listeners will discover the underlying dynamics of these "relationship contracts" and how they silently shape the balance (or imbalance) in our partnerships and friendships. Through insightful discussion, practical examples, and actionable tools, the conversation explores how to raise awareness of hidden patterns, reclaim personal agency, and foster healthier, more reciprocal connections—all while learning to have empowered conversations that turn resentment into collaboration and lasting growth. Elizabeth Webb is The Practical Priestess™ and an expert in positive psychology and human behavior. For over two decades, she's helped top leaders, celebrities, and change-makers break free from life's shackles, make empowered choices, and live a life they're excited to wake up to. Elizabeth brings her signature wisdom and wit to her debut book, Made for Magic.   Episode Highlights 05:56 Spotting the early signs of relationship imbalance. 07:08 Resentment, overgiving, and the dynamics of reciprocity. 11:08 Lovability, self-worth, and patterns of giving and receiving. 16:11 Changing unhelpful contracts: Willingness, ability, and conscious relating. 21:20 Reflecting on past patterns: Awareness and co-creation. 25:59 Clarifying needs vs. preferences in relationship dynamics. 28:54 Strategies for addressing and rewriting unspoken agreements. 35:05 Understanding the root of complaints. 38:00 A roadmap for empowered communication and requests. 40:32 Building collaboration and navigating negotiation in relationships. 45:16 When to untether: Facing unmet needs and setting boundaries.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Reflect on your current or past relationships to notice any recurring patterns where you feel depleted or resentful due to an imbalance in giving and receiving. Ask yourself if your concern is a fundamental need or simply a preference before addressing it with your partner. Acknowledge the ways you have participated or co-created the current dynamic before approaching the other person. Choose a time when both parties are calm and receptive to discuss the issue, beginning by seeking consent for the conversation. Use neutral language to share your observations and feelings about the dynamic and avoid accusatory statements. Articulate exactly what you would like to change and how you would like it to look, so your partner understands what you need. Invite your partner to share their perspective or any adjustments they'd need to fulfill the new agreement, fostering a sense of co-creation. Observe whether your partner is both willing and able to make the necessary changes; if not, consider what choices and boundaries may be needed for your well-being.   Mentioned Made for Magic (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Alison Armstrong ERP 056: Secrets To Sex Even When No One Is In The Mood With Alison Armstrong Shifting Criticism For Connected Communication (free guide)   Connect with Elizabeth Webb Website: PositivelyElizabeth.com Instagram: instagram.com/positivelyelizabeth

From Toradol shots and “rock docs” on the road, to AI tools like Suno reshaping Nashville, to cruise-ship horror stories and fans yelling requests at charity shows… this episode of Drive That in a Small Town goes all over the map in the best way. The guys swap stories about playing hurt on tour, getting hooked up by “rock docs,” demolishing Luke Bryan's band in flag football, near-disastrous 100-yard dashes, and getting smoked by a college women's softball team. They also take a hard look at AI in songwriting, the death of old-school demo sessions, and how quality songs still rise above the noise. You'll also hear heartfelt praise for John Morgan's heart for kids, a hilarious breakdown of Zach Bryan's infamous fast-break clip, cruise stories including the notorious “Poop Cruise,” a peek into publishing contracts and quotas, and a “Dip Shit” segment calling out bad audience etiquette, shady neighbors, and 5-minute voice texts. If you love small-town stories, country music, road-life chaos, and real talk about where the music business is headed, this one's for you. 02:00 Shoulder sling, cortisone shots and playing hurt on the road 05:03 High-ankle sprain, Toradol, and “rock doc roulette” on tour 09:12 Behind the scenes: how rock docs keep shows from getting canceled 11:19 Golf postponed, one-armed putting, and Def Leppard drummer jokes 13:02 John Morgan at Bethel Bible Village: connecting with kids and staying late 14:25 John Morgan's small-town roots and Chattanooga ties 14:42 Zach Bryan's legendary fast break: live reaction to the clip 18:05 Is he a team player or just a chaotic fast break?

A pump that won't prime, a lid that won't budge, and a pad visit that's suddenly running long, this is where small, practical know-how saves the day. We walk through the real-world pool pump fixes that most techs only learn after enough scraped knuckles and repeat trips, and we keep it focused on what actually works when you're standing in front of the equipment.We dig into stuck pump lids on common pumps, including why they tighten up, how a simple rubber mallet technique can help, and when it's smarter to use a dedicated pump lid removal tool for Hayward-style lids. From there we zoom in on one of the biggest causes of mystery air bubbles and “it ran fine yesterday” complaints: the pump lid O-ring. We explain how worn, dry, pinched, or missing O-rings create suction leaks, why homeowners opening the pump can trigger priming failures, and why carrying spare O-rings is one of the best low-cost moves a pool service pro can make.We also talk pump baskets, impeller clogs, and what that low filter pressure reading is really telling you. You'll hear how to check for cracked baskets, how to clear debris from the impeller safely with basic tools, and why ultra heavy-duty baskets can backfire if they get fully packed with debris. Finally, we cover priming best practices, including using a bucket, avoiding dry starts, and how large air relief assemblies on certain pool filters can make priming faster and easier.

Fasting, nutrient timing, chrono-nutrition, and continuous glucose monitoring are all topics that have generated substantial interest, but they are also areas where exaggerated claims can easily outpace the underlying evidence. In many cases, tentative hypotheses are presented as if they were already well-established conclusions, despite the fact that the research base is often more mixed and context-dependent than popular narratives imply. It is one thing for an idea to appear biologically coherent. It is another for that idea to translate into meaningful, reliable effects in real-world interventions. In this episode, Professor James Betts discusses how to think clearly about these topics, why common errors in interpretation can lead to overstated conclusions, and what is required to properly evaluate whether an observed effect reflects a true intervention effect rather than baseline differences, inappropriate comparisons, within-group changes, or mechanistic signals being mistaken for meaningful health outcomes.

In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo coaches Dan Wentzel moments before a live call with a self-storage owner who may be open to selling a 53,000-square-foot facility through seller financing. But instead of obsessing over the numbers or trying to "close the deal," Alex shifts the focus toward something far more important: understanding the seller.   As they prepare for the conversation, Alex reinforces a foundational principle that separates average investors from great ones: focus on the seller, not the storage facility. By uncovering the owner's real motivations, goals, and timeline, Dan can structure a deal around what actually matters to them—not just what looks good on paper.   The episode also dives deep into creative financing strategy, including how to think about down payments, amortization, no-payment periods, private lenders vs equity partners, and long-term cash flow. Through real-time underwriting and deal analysis, Alex walks through how this opportunity could potentially generate six figures in annual cash flow while requiring little or no money out of pocket.   But the real breakthrough in this conversation isn't the deal structure—it's how Dan shows up. Following the previous episode's mindset reset, Alex challenges him to communicate with confidence, ask better questions, and stop approaching seller conversations from a place of need.   This episode is a masterclass in seller psychology, creative deal structuring, and the mindset required to lead conversations with confidence and clarity.   ⸻   You'll Learn How To:   Focus on seller motivation instead of getting distracted by the deal Ask better questions that uncover what sellers actually want Structure seller financing deals with stronger terms and flexibility Evaluate long-term cash flow opportunities through simple underwriting Think through equity partners vs private lender structures Show up to seller conversations with confidence and authority   ⸻   What You'll Learn in This Episode:   [0:55] Why seller conversations matter more than spreadsheets [2:33] The background of the 53,000 sq ft seller-financed opportunity [4:12] Spotting opportunity in unsophisticated storage markets [5:32] The power of three years of consistent follow-up [6:26] Why understanding seller timeline is critical [8:10] Framing questions around what the seller actually wants [9:49] Why seller financing creates major opportunity [11:20] What 100% occupancy usually signals about upside potential [12:58] Breaking down the facility revenue and asking price [14:16] Evaluating seller financing terms: down payment, interest, and amortization [16:08] Structuring no-payment periods to maximize cash flow [17:49] Calculating NOI and projected cash flow step by step [19:58] Using private lenders vs equity partners to fund deals [22:14] Why this is more of a cash flow play than an equity play [24:05] Breaking down projected cash flow over the first three years [25:58] Understanding long-term upside and exit strategy [27:05] "50% of the watermelon is better than 100% of the grape" [27:27] Preparing mentally and physically before seller conversations [27:52] Why confidence and focus matter more than perfect notes   ⸻   Who This Episode Is For:   Investors preparing for real seller conversations Listeners trying to structure creative financing deals Anyone learning how to evaluate cash flow opportunities Entrepreneurs struggling with confidence in negotiations People interested in seller financing and low-money-down acquisitions ⸻   Why You Should Listen:   Most investors spend too much time analyzing deals and not enough time understanding sellers.   This episode shows how the best opportunities come from uncovering what the seller actually wants—and then structuring a deal around it. From creative financing to confidence in communication, this conversation breaks down both the tactical and psychological side of getting deals done.   If you've ever wondered how experienced investors approach seller calls, structure financing creatively, and think through cash flow opportunities in real time, this episode gives you a front-row seat.   ⸻   Follow Alex Pardo here:   Alex Pardo Website: https://alexpardo.com/ Alex Pardo Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexpardo15 Alex Pardo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexpardo25 Alex Pardo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlexPardo Storage Wins Website: https://storagewins.com/   ⸻   Have conversations with at least three storage owners, brokers, private lenders, or equity partners inside the Storage Wins Facebook Group.

Are you waiting for a green light that's never going to come? This week, Lesley Logan dives into the "permission gap", the space between what you actually want and the action you take, often filled with self-doubt and a perceived need for validation. Whether it's the habit of using a partner as a polite excuse to say no or constantly asking, "Does that make sense?," seeking approval is a cycle that keeps you playing small. Lesley shares how a "mean" sixth-grade teacher taught her about agency and why your language needs an audit. It's time to stop second-guessing and start owning your choices. If you have any questions about this episode or want to get some of the resources we mentioned, head over to LesleyLogan.co/podcast https://lesleylogan.co/podcast/.

You don't need permission from men. You don't need anybody's permission except for your own. Lesley Logan 0:13  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:56  Hey, Be It babe. How are you? Oh my god. Welcome to our week. My solo series is going to be on permission. And this has actually come from some people on my team who were listening to the pod. It's like a permission to be, permission to become, and it made us go, like, so why do we feel like we need permission? Right? What's going on there? So this, today's episode, is going to be on like, why do we feel like we need permission? Especially for my lady listeners out there, and there's a few good men, and I think it's important that you kind of, I think you should listen to this, because I think it's important you might understand, like, why we are the way we are. It just makes you a better human, right? And then on Thursday, instead of a recap episode, it's actually going to be on, how do we stop second guessing ourselves, so that we're we're not needing to ask permission, because we're not second guessing ourselves, right? So in doing this research, I found some really great resources. And so we'll also have links to my sources in the episode show notes. But I just kind of was thinking about this place. So I remember, in the sixth grade, I had a teacher. Her name is Mrs. Scott. She had lots of plans. It was a great was a great classroom. She looked a little scary. I'm not gonna lie, like, who's older? I've been teaching for like, 40 years, by the time I got there and she said, you can't ask can I go to the bathroom with me? In fact, if you ever say can I do something, I'm going to ask you. I don't know, can you? And I remember thinking, like, what a stickler. Why is she so mean? And now, as I was researching this episode, I was like, what a fucking badass she was. Like, how cool that she was making sure that as a sixth grader, we are understanding that we could go to the bathroom on our own. We didn't need to ask permission if we could go to the bathroom, we need to ask permission to leave. Like, the question was actually like, may I go to the bathroom, is what she wanted us to understand. So like, may I do X, Y and Z, because she's like, you are completely capable of doing these things. And so it's really interesting how in our lives, especially as when we learn by looking at people's facial expressions and emotions, the sound in their voice, we're seeking out permission, right? Like, oh, is it safe to be here? Is it safe do these things? Am I safe to do this? And then because of that, it also just starts to roll into all the things that we do on a daily basis. And so we start finding ourselves, like asking permission for a lot of things. And so in the research I was doing, there are some really great anecdotal stories of people in the author's lives who used to be like their parent or role model, and then how that shifted to them asking permission as well. And I just found it really interesting how easy it is for that to become some sort of like, habit's the wrong word, but just like, maybe it's the right word, but just because part of our daily life. And you know, I used to work in retail before, as a Pilates instructor and even as a Pilates instructor I would hear this thing where people would go, mostly women, I need to ask my husband, I need to ask my partner, I need to ask my spouse. And it was interesting, because most of these people were not like housewives who had no job, and this was not their income. And by the way, like it's another conversation. But also, you know, if you are the house manager, you are allowing the person who's making that money to be able to make that money, because you're making their life so much easier. They don't have to do all these things. But that's a different story. But these are women who like brought income in as well. And so it was just really interesting to me. And I will say, whenever I say I need to ask my husband, is because I actually haven't made a decision and or I'm trying to nicely say no to you, but I don't want to say no yet, so I will say I it's a nice phrase to use, but I just remember thinking like, do they have to ask? Is this something they're asking permission for? They really love it. I remember them like loving how they looked in a purse or a necklace, like, just absolutely loving it, and then asking, like, hey, what do you think? And then that person going, I think you can look better in this. And then just, like, not getting the thing they want and getting the other thing. And I just remember going, oh, this is going to not be used, or it's going to be returned, because they really want the other thing, right? And so at any rate, why is this happening? Why are these women mostly asking for permission to be, to like, to desire, to have to own so let's get into it. Lesley Logan 5:08  First, these are some questions that I thought would be fun for you to journal about, post, ponder on this week. What leads me to seek social approval before making a decision? Is it a personality trait? Could it be a lack of self-esteem, or is biology a factor? So I kind of thought that that would be fun for you to think about for your own personal thing, like, do you feel a tendency to seek approval, social approval before making a decision? Is it part of your personality? Do you think it's because you're not sure about trusting yourself, or is it is biology a factor? So there's something that's going to come up in this topic as well, and in the research, it talks about permission gap. And so permission gap is a phenomenon stemming from socialization that emphasizes the caretaking and prioritizing others' needs over personal desires. So basically, we tend to think that we need to ask if we can do something, or before we do something, seek out permission or approval because we believe or feel we should be putting other people's needs before our own needs and our own desires. And so if we're going to do something that could be something that's more for ourselves, prioritizing ourselves first, then we feel like we need permission, like, hey, can I do this thing? I'll say, just before I hit record, Brad and I were redoing the schedule, and we are recording a podcast tomorrow night, when we'd normally be at the gym. And I didn't say, hey, can I go to the gym in the morning? He normally goes to the gym with me on Wednesday nights. Didn't go, hey, can I go in the gym in the morning? I just said, hey, I'm gonna go to the gym in the morning, right? And I was like, that could be taken as rude. I can see how some people would think that is rude. But also, like, he knows that getting my Wednesday workout in is a priority for me. With a very, very busy schedule, there's no other place we can move it. And I hope he knows. I'd love for him to come. But I also know he's not gonna get up at seven in the morning. He's not gonna do it. That's what we do it on Wednesday nights. So I will say I do understand that sometimes some of the things that I say or do can sound a little rude to people on the outside. And so I can understand why sometimes we use permission as a way asking permission as a way to just like, be thoughtful. But I do think it's important to know that you're doing what you're doing, otherwise you are living in this permission gap, this phenomenon stemming from socialization that emphasizes the caretaking and prioritizing of other needs and, others' needs and over our personal desires. So maybe you don't think you need permission, that's also possible. Hopefully that's true. But I also just wanted to bring up some phrases that you might be saying or thinking that could actually be like a, like a, like a yellow flag that you're asking for permission, which is, like, have you ever said, I've always wanted to blank, like, I've always wanted to go on a trip by myself. I've always wanted to learn how to do X, Y and Z. I've always wanted to try that. I've always wanted to buy that. I've always wanted to explore this. I've always wanted to if that is something that you are pondering, then somewhere along the way, you either didn't ask or didn't feel like you had permission to do the thing, right? And sometimes it means, like you just didn't have the time or the money at the time, that that's also true. But like, if you've always wanted to go back and get a doctorate, what is stopping you? Is it social approval? Okay, then we need to look at that. You know. Is it lack of self-esteem? We need to look at that. Is it a biology factor like, or is it like, hey, lack of time and money right now? But also, is it lack of time and money because we're giving it to other people and prioritizing their needs over ours? Is it? Have you ever said I stopped myself because. I stopped myself from buying that thing, from doing that thing, I, from trying that thing, from signing up for that thing. I stopped myself because. You know, I have a lot of friends and family who, I hear them say, like, oh, I was gonna do that, but I didn't because. And it's usually because of somebody else. Someone else was coming to town, someone else was doing this. A lot of people who want to be more consistent in Pilates, but they aren't, because there's always so many things coming up. I mean, like, literally, my schedule is never the same week to week. It is not possible. So I literally had to say to the team between I don't do anything before 9:15 am and I am done with my day at 4:30 you have to fit everything into that, because I need to know that I can before 9:15 and after 4:30 I can do whatever I need to do, right? I need to know that. So it's really, really important that you're just kind of taking notice, do a little audit about what you're saying, about what you're not doing that you didn't do. Now, look, if you didn't want to do it, then don't do it. You don't even need permission from me to do that, right?Lesley Logan 9:39  Or do you ever feel you need someone to tell you it's going to be okay? Like, do you seek support because maybe you think your idea or how you're feeling is crazy? Are you secretly wanting someone to stop you? Like, are you asking permission because actually you are secretly wanting someone to stop you from doing it? Right? So I thought this was really funny when I was like researching for this, so I remember, I can, I can tell you where I was in LA, driving my car when the woman who taught me Pilates, her name is Julie, she's my first Pilates instructor in LA, when she taught me Pilates, I could barely afford it, so I was going every other week for a duet, and then I was doing as much as I could remember, on the mat at home, in between, and eventually I was able to afford a weekly duet, which is very was a challenge for me but I was able to do it, and I had this like inkling, I was like, I wonder, I wonder if I could learn how to teach the mat work, and then I could teach it at her studio, and that could pay for my Pilates sessions. And I remember like, being on a call with her, and she's talking about, like, buying the studio from the other owner, and she's really excited, and like, what that means. And I was like, um, you think, like, it's gonna it'd be okay if I, like, like, taught mat classes? And then she said, oh my god, Lesley, you need to become a teacher, like, but I remember needing at that time, the Lesley at that time, needed permission to become a Pilates instructor, because I honestly thought I was a little bit crazy. Part of me maybe wanted me to for them to talk to stop me, like before, I invested in something I couldn't afford, right? But, like, I definitely was asking permission to belong in the Pilates teaching community at that time, because I went to school for communications, right? So I definitely know that there's parts of my life that was, I was absolutely asking for permission, especially the younger me, especially the way, and I'll tell you, you'll see why, because I'm going to go over some primary reasons why we're asking for permission. But like, you know, obviously, the more comp you get, the more you do things, the less you feel like you need approval from others. And I do think that after 40, like, there are certain fucks that go away. And then I've heard after 50, even you have even less fucks to give. But like, hopefully, right? Hopefully, we have future versions of us that ask for less permission. But I remember that Lesley, I think that was, was in 2007 and I did my first training in 2008 so you know that how old was I then, oh my god, like 25 right? So anyways, like I remember needing needing approval and permission to make that leap. Lesley Logan 12:09  So let's go into some primary reasons why, and just see which ones of these resonate with you. So societal conditioning and gender roles. From a young age, many women are taught to be nurturing and pleasing, often prioritizing family and partners over their own ambitions or needs. The social conditioning makes pursuing more feel selfish or unnatural. This for sure, I'm definitely, I'm the oldest child. I definitely took care of my siblings. I remember one of the times I got in trouble I didn't do one of the chores that I was assigned, but that chore couldn't get done unless my siblings had done their chores. And so because they hadn't done their chores, I couldn't do mine. So I did this other thing that I wanted to do. I read the book. I loved, loved to read. I got in so much trouble because, like, I should have made sure they got their chores done, right? And so just remembering these things when you're a child these different things, it's societal condition. Now, are my parents assholes? No, of course not. They're just being parents, doing the best they can, and making mistakes along the way. But it's interesting how we pick up on things like, oh, well, I better not read for myself next time, because I should be making sure they're doing what they're supposed to be doing. Okay, next example, the good woman, ideal and guilt. There's a lingering cultural narrative that suggests women should be grateful for what they have, leading to the feelings of guilt or shame when they desire more. And this is a really interesting right? Like, you can see it in lots of different things, like the time I'm recording this, you know, I watched the women's hockey team for the Olympics like win gold, and also, by the way, that women's hockey has not been in the Olympics, and since, you know, it's only been there since the 90s, and then since then, like we've medaled so much, medaled as much as the men, in a much shorter period of time, right? And when you look at how women's sports are supported, they're supported United States because of Title IX, which means that money has to be invested in women's sports if there's men's sports. And so it means that, you know, on subconscious levels, like everything that we're wanting is because of somebody else so we should be so grateful. We should be so thankful. And when women do often ask for more, they're often told, like, people label them like terrible things, like she's money hungry, or she's, you know, what is? What they call people who like climb the ladder or like and they take other they seem people as like they're taking people down, but they don't say the same thing about a man doing the same thing, right? So we we learn to be what a good woman is, and should be just grateful that we have that. Another reason why you might be asking for permission is fear of judgment. Women often fear being perceived as demanding, selfish or too much when they vocalize their desires. This stems from a culture that often judges women who step outside traditional roles. 100% I think we could all remember an example of either ourselves or someone we know who did something and somebody said something about them. Sometimes they're often compared to another woman who didn't do that thing. And it's like, well, she didn't do it, and so now they're pinning women against women. And of course, you're like, well, I guess when you compare those two, then she is too selfish. But like, is she? Is she? Do they do that with men? Lesley Logan 15:16  Lack of representation. A lack of role models who are unapologetic about their desires, can make women feel that they need to wait for approval, validation or the right time, the right time. Oh, we just got to wait for the right time. You know, like, no, I don't remember anybody, any male in my life, cousins, brother, being told to, like, wait for the right time. Oh, go get it. Why don't you go get it. Why don't you go talk to them? Why don't you go put yourself out there, right? Oh, Lesley, be careful. You don't want to talk too much. Oh, you don't want to be too loud. Yeah. So this is the permission gap. So this is the space between what a woman wants and what she actually does, often filled with self-doubt and the belief that someone else needs to validate her worth. So, space between what a woman wants and what she actually does. She wants to go back to school, but she stays home to care for everybody, because asking for help or asking for people in her community to take Tuesdays and she'll take Wednesdays. Well, who? Why would she be able to do that? Who is she? Is she selfish? Right? Need for safety and responsiveness. In sexual relational context, women often need to feel safe and emotionally connected to access their desires, because they may not feel comfortable acting on their own. They may wait for a partner to initiate or create the right conditions. So this one I put in there, I just wanted to keep it because permission to be often, when you do research, you'll see that there's a lot of permission to feel worthy, permission to be able to fill their desires. Desires can be sexual, but also you could just desire to have a better life, right? Desire means a lot of different things, but I will say, if you are having any like not having to understand what you truly desire when it comes to sexual needs, please look at our episodes with Dr. Celeste Holbrook and please read her book, especially those who are raised in the church and purity culture being kind, even if your parents weren't super serious about it, there are definitely things we could talk about, and permission to feel desirable if you were at all raised around purity culture in any way. Lesley Logan 17:22  All right, last one or primary reasons why you might feel like you need permission. Internalized misogyny, a patriarchal culture that often devalues female desires, can lead to women minimizing their own needs, which in turn fuels a need for external permission to assert their own agency. I think we all know some women have internalized misogyny. I can think of a bunch of women in our political government right now, and it's annoying, because, okay, well, great, you're a pick me girl, like you're in but you think they're going to care for you. You think they're going to take care of you? No. You think that when you have an idea it's going to be used? No. You're gonna have to push it through some other male, right? So, like, internalized misogyny is something that honestly can happen without your own decision, right? Because it happens because of society. It happens because of the patriarchal culture. And so unless you can get yourself out of that situation, you might not even see what you're doing. And so I highly recommend, if you have you felt a lot of misogyny surrounding you, you might need to go find some really great women who can show you like you don't need to live under those rules. You don't need permission from men. You don't need anybody's permission except for your own. But let's be real, that is harder to do. That's what we're gonna talk about, episode two, we're gonna definitely get into how to stop second guessing yourself, because just saying, okay, here's all these things. This is why it's so hard for us, this is so hard for you to not ask for permission. Doesn't mean you're just be able to ask for, like, stop asking for permission. These are habits you have. These are things you say, like, you automatically will say when something's expensive, say I can't afford that instead of saying, oh, I'm not investing in that right now, that is something I'm really, really proud of, like, how I changed my tune on that, instead of when something was more like, is more money that I have, instead of saying I can't afford that, I'm not investing in that right now, or that's more than I want to invest in that project, or that's more than I want to invest in that thing right now. All of that makes it a choice versus I'm a victim. I can't afford it right now, right? It means I'm not asking for permission to buy something. I'm asking I'm stating why I'm not buying the thing. I don't need the permission. So it takes time. So just being mindful, and I think having the awareness first and foremost, of like, the things that you're saying, the things that you're doing, just take a notice, like, maybe this week, what you're noticing is like, how often am I asking for permission, if I look good, or if this works, or if that makes sense? You know, another thing I've been working on for the last couple of years, because I heard a female CEO say this, she said, instead of saying, does that make sense? Because that's like asking permission. Did I do a good job explaining that to you? She'll say, do you have any clarifying question for me? So that way she is stating, I know I said everything you just say in the right order, in the right way, but do you have any clarifying questions that is giving them the space to ask what they need and take assertiveness, and also you're holding yourself in a space of like, I did a really great job. Oh, your questions are okay. I can see where I missed out on that. We don't need to ask permission. Does that make sense? Right? So that's something I've been really trying to work on. Lesley Logan 20:09  So, all right, here are some other things, other signs that you might be asking for permission. Have you ever talked yourself out of something because someone else might not like it? You might not be liked, it'll be difficult, you have a fear of judgment, fear people will think you're crazy. Definitely, I have asked for permission in my past because I do a lot of weird, crazy stuff, and I'm like, I'm recognizing that, and now people just know I'm a little crazy, so that's fine, but it takes some time to get your confidence up, right? That like it's okay to be crazy. Have you ever talked yourself out of doing something because someone in your life wouldn't approve? You're afraid to look silly. You won't belong. You'll upset someone. The cost, you don't feel worthy. They might say no, so you're saying no first, and then you don't want to fail, right? Fear of failure. Then it sounds like you're in a state where you feel you need permission, and you're in that permission gap. So how do we close it? Well, I think first of all, awareness is important. I think we can't close any gap without actually noticing, like, where is this permission habit coming from? Who do we learn it from? Who do we observe it from? Not to go blame them, but just so you can, kind of, like, take the control back and realize what's going on and just notice that when you're doing it, and also those dear, amazing friends that you have, like, perhaps we need to, like, say, hey, here's what I noticed about myself. I notice that I ask like, what do you think? Instead of asking, like, tell me what your excited thoughts are, and then maybe what are some concerns you have? Like, that would be fine, because now you're asking them to, like, point out pros and cons. But just like, what do you think? Especially because a lot of us as people who never think anything good will happen to us, you know, we have those family members. We've had so many guests on the on the Be It Pod, talk about like, make sure that you're aware of who you're telling your ideas to, right? Because if you're telling your amazing ideas to people who will never believe in something possible, you're going to be, basically asking permission from people who are never going to give it. Just want you to notice what your habits are, what parts of you are feeling that permission need. Yeah, and then on Thursday, we're going to talk about how to close that gap, how to trust yourself, how to give yourself permission. That will be our episode on Thursday. So I'd love to hear how you're liking these topics. If you have topics that you're wanting me to address, you can actually send it into the beitpod.com/questions to say, hey, episode topic, and we'll put in the lineup. We're still gonna have the interviews, we're still gonna have the recaps, but we thought it'd be fun to basically, in between some of these interviews, do some of these solo episodes on some topics that maybe we could just dive a little bit deeper, that sometimes it doesn't happen in an interview because the conversation goes a different way. So thank you so much. And until next time, Be It Till You See It.Lesley Logan 22:57  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Two Missouri Longbeards Down on Opening Day | 100% WILD Ep 471 Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik recount the thrills and technical nightmares of Missouri's Opening Day. Tim kicks things off with a masterclass in small property management, detailing how he secured a 6:28 AM archery kill on a tiny 6-acre tract. You'll hear the "ninja walk" strategy he used to slip into a ground blind while a gobbler hammered directly above his head, and how he used Avian-X decoys and Matthews archery gear to close the deal in the early morning timber. Then Matt Drury details his grueling afternoon pursuit across multiple leases. After dealing with birds that refused to cross a cattle panel fence and a coyote that spooked a group of longbeards, Matt finally spots a wild turkey from his truck. However, the "moment of truth" nearly ends in disaster when his gun jams with a tom standing at a mere 15 yards. 00:00:00 – Opening Day Success & The New Bass Pro Shops Sign  00:04:52 – Hunting Turkeys on Tiny Acreage: The 6-Acre Archery Strategy  00:06:50 – The Ninja Walk: Slipping into the blind with a bird overhead  00:10:42 – Blind Setup: Managing light and movement in the timber  00:14:04 – 6:28 AM Archery Kill: Recovering a bird in the brambles  00:16:31 – Missouri Weather Trends: High barometer and opening day gobbles  00:18:40 – Fence Line Dilemma: Why birds won't cross cattle panels  00:24:59 – The Coyote Factor: How predators change turkey behavior  00:28:43 – The Afternoon Grind: Moving leases when the woods go silent  00:35:15 – Spotting a Gobbler From the Truck: The midday setup  00:38:05 – CRITICAL MOMENT: Gun jam at 15 yards and the manual fix  00:44:35 – Pro Tip: Using DeerCast Live View to listen for birds  00:51:57 – Advanced Turkey Quiz: Strutting biology and tail feather aging  00:54:15 – NWTF Scoring: Calculating the leaderboard for beards and spurs Join the Rack Pack Facebook Group :/ n73gskjt7bfb2ngc   Get ahead of your Game with DeerCast available on iOS and Android devices App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deerc...
