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. In this podcast episode, Carina breaks down how applicant tracking systems are actually using AI today, why automated resume “fit” scores are often inaccurate for scientific roles, and where simple automations still drive real decisions. 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:

What if the scarcity you feel around money isn't about your bank account at all, but about old stories from childhood still running the show?

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.

What can the rise and fall of great civilizations teach us about our current moment? Nicolai Tangen explores this timely question with Johan Norberg, renowned author of "Peak Human: What We Can Learn from the Rise and Fall of Golden Ages."

The conversation covers the vital role of openness in driving innovation, why immigration has been crucial to every thriving civilization, the dangers of retreating from globalization, and how "strategic tolerance" can make nations stronger.

With many firm initiatives already targeting 2026, Paul shares how leading firms translate today's client conversations into concrete capacity, revenue, and staffing plans for the next 12–24 months.Key takeaways:Listen for life‑event signals. Clients rarely say “I need an exit plan.” They hint at transitions—succession, burnout, relocation, health, or market shifts. Train your team to hear those cues and start planning early.Valuation isn't a finish line; it's a starting point. Regularly benchmark the business so owners can align pricing, client mix, and structure with their eventual exit timeline.Make planning continuous. Replace last‑minute Q4 models with a cadence of mini‑check‑ins that combine numbers with narrative: goals for the next 1–5 years, risk tolerance, and capacity constraints—both client and firm‑side.Charge for strategy with confidence. Longstanding relationships don't make advisory “free.” Clarify scope, package outcomes (e.g., exit readiness, tax savings roadmap, sale prep), and communicate the value long before a transaction looms.Redesign roles for impact. Shift staff from “cranking numbers” to managing relationships and discovery. The result: better insights, earlier interventions, and more profitable engagements.Think 2026 now. If 75% of your big projects already point to 2026, formalize forecasts, staffing plans, and pricing updates today.Whether your clients are five years from a sale or just exploring growth options, this episode shows how to move from reactive calculations to proactive advisory—without awkward money talks.Timestamps00:00 Intro and why planning sneaks up on firms03:55 Why 2026 planning starts today06:45 Spotting exit triggers in normal conversations11:15 Numbers vs. life events: bringing both into planning16:15 Pricing advisory in long‑term relationships20:25 When to discuss valuation (and how often)24:20 Turning staff into relationship managersKeywords (primary/secondary/long‑tail) Primary: year‑round tax planning, advisory services for accounting firms, business valuation, exit planning, 2026 firm planning Secondary: CPA firm capacity planning, client discovery, pricing advisory, scope management, relationship management, revenue projections Long‑tail: how to price advisory for long‑term clients, signs a business is ready to sell, continuous tax planning vs Q4, training staff for client advisory, building a 2026 capacity plan

In this heartfelt, high-energy conversation, Stephanie Bohn—entertainment veteran turned startup founder—traces her journey from American Express to 13 years at Warner Bros., scaling Rotten Tomatoes, a pivotal stint at Netflix, and ultimately to purpose-built entrepreneurship. Stephanie shares how “raising your hand before you feel 100% ready” opened doors to building new business lines (hello, early App Store days) and leading through ambiguity. We dig into her time as CMO at Chief, the power of peer boards for executive women, and what servant leadership looks like in practice. The episode turns deeply personal as Stephanie opens up about her daughter's Rett syndrome diagnosis, the broken systems families navigate, and how that sparked Truly Care—a mission-driven platform connecting families with specialized caregivers and guiding them to underused respite resources. It's a masterclass in turning obsession into action, finding champions, and designing a life that sustains both ambition and wellbeing.We cover:Spotting and pitching opportunities before you're “ready”Intrapreneurship at scale: apps, IP, and the Rotten Tomatoes playbookInside Chief: “who mentors the mentors?” and changing the face of leadershipCaregiving as infrastructure: access, affordability, and dignityDefining servant leadership and leading by removing obstaclesFounder fuel: memoirs, The Pitch podcast, and mindset rituals that stickGuest links:LinkedInWebsiteInstagramMic-drop moment: “If you're obsessed with the idea, break it into nano-steps, find your champions, and build the scaffolding until it exists.”

What if the emotions you feel are not who you are? Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I'm not confident” or “I'm an anxious person”? In this episode of the podcast, we explore principle two of our Six Principles of Emotion series: You are not your emotions. So many of us, and our clients, confuse feelings with identity. We slip into patterns of speech where we equate ourselves with an emotion, making it part of who we are. This is where coaching can create powerful transformation. By helping clients separate their sense of self from the emotions they experience, we open the door to growth, choice, and freedom. In this conversation, we reflect on how over-identifying with emotions such as anxiety, fear, or guilt can keep people stuck. We also consider how positive emotions like joy or calm can become limiting when they are tied too tightly to identity. A client might say, “I'm a calm person,” yet find themselves disturbed by stress, which creates inner conflict. Through emotions coaching, we can offer new perspectives that allow people to explore who they are beyond these emotional labels. I found myself reflecting on the liberating power of simple shifts in language, from “I am anxious” to “I am feeling anxious right now.” That pause changes everything. It reminds us that emotions are designed to move and do not define us. When clients see this, they often regain clarity, confidence, and connection with themselves. This episode is an invitation to lean into conversations around emotions in your coaching. It's about helping clients see they are more than their feelings and guiding them towards new ways of being that support their goals and wellbeing.   Timestamps: 00:30 – Why emotions are central to coaching conversations 01:00 – How clients over-identify with emotions 02:20 – Understanding emotions as temporary and designed to move 03:20 – Shifting language: from “I am” to “I feel” 06:00 – Exploring fear and preparing for confidence 08:00 – The liberating effect of separating self from emotion 10:00 – Recognising the emotions gap in coaching 13:00 – Using metaphors and perspectives to unlock insight 15:00 – When positive emotions create internal conflict 17:00 – Spotting identity narratives in coaching conversations 19:00 – Resources and training opportunities   Key Lessons Learned: Emotions are experiences, not identity. You are not your emotions. Language matters, small shifts from “I am” to “I feel” can unlock new perspectives. Over-identifying with both negative and positive emotions can create internal conflict. Coaching provides space for clients to separate themselves from their emotional experiences. Emotions coaching is about helping clients explore new perspectives, not telling them what to believe. Emotions are designed to move, getting stuck in them often signals where coaching can help.   Keywords emotions coaching, coaching and identity, confidence in coaching, separating self from emotions, emotional coaching principles, imposter syndrome coaching, managing anxiety in coaching, positive emotions and identity, coaching for emotional growth, language in coaching conversations,   Links & Resources Emotions Coaching Demo: igcompany.com/emotionsdemo http://www.igcompany.com/emotionscoaching

In the latest episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Liam Garman speaks with Ross Le Quesne, head buyer's agent at KHI Property Partners, and investor Alex Whitlock about the Melbourne property market. Ross shares his extensive experience as a broker, business investor, and buyer's agent, offering insights that Alex has relied on for guidance. The trio highlights Melbourne's modest property growth of around 15 per cent over the past five years compared with surges in other cities, suggesting a potential “once in a cycle” opportunity. Ross emphasises the importance of timing and location, noting that areas with scarcity, strong infrastructure, and access to amenities tend to appreciate more. Alex illustrates this with a recent purchase of a property marketed as a four-bedroom house that was actually two two-bedroom apartments, showing the value of local expertise. Ross also offers practical advice on financial readiness, debt management, and alternative strategies, such as self-managed super funds or commercial property. The trio then discusses the emotional side of investing, urging buyer's agents to help maintain objectivity.

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.

We all know there are things in life you probably shouldn't trust, like gas station sushi or an email from a Nigerian prince. But the same principle applies in retirement planning. Sometimes what looks safe, easy, or even “guaranteed” isn't so trustworthy when you peel back the layers. In this episode, Nathan highlights the financial versions of gas station sushi, the too-good-to-be-true ideas that can leave your retirement in ruins. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

Nir shared why curiosity is a superpower for self-improvement, the role of community in mental well-being, why “pills don't teach skills” when it comes to mental health, why testing and rewiring our beliefs is essential for personal growth, and how living with integrity aligns us with our deepest values.

A rebus -- for those of you new to the crossword-solving realm -- is a square containing more than one letter. Rebuses come in several varieties; in today's crossword we have two words per square, one intended to be read horizontally, the other vertically. Spotting rebuses is a bit of an art. Usually the tip-off is when the answer that you know, absolutely, positively, is correct ... but it won't fit. When that happens, it's time to fire up the ol' rebus key (if you're solving on the app), or print smaller (if you're solving on paper). Today's rebus celebrated a candy bar first made in York, England, and if you don't know it by now, you will shortly once you've checked out today's podcast (or done the crossword).Show note imagery: Some LACROSSE players, um, lacrosseing?

Bruce Pringle of Bookmap shows how to see confirmed stop runs and iceberg orders, revealing who's actually in control of the move and why futures' centralized order book gives retail a transparency edge. He introduces a hands-on Pilot Program that focuses on one setup using Replay + the Bookmap Journal to prove an edge with stats before scaling. The MBO bundle surfaces factual stop/iceberg transactions; filters (including standard-deviation thresholds) and cumulative sub-charts help separate signal from noise and spot regime shifts. They walk through a cascading stop-run example, the common “vacuum” rebound after sellers are washed out, and how icebergs often absorb flow on the other side.Sponsor: Top One FuturesLink: https://www.asfx.biz/tof Code: ASFX for 50% off Sponsor: TradezellaLink: https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx Code ASFX for 20% off

Sorry Baby is a movie that makes no apologies. No apologies for how moved you'll be by its depiction of a character (and her cat) working through their trauma in a wintry Massachusetts town. No apologies how for much you'll laugh in a film that for all extents and purposes is a tale of sexual assault. And no apologies for how ambitious it is – playing with time and playing with chronology. Which is why we're excited to welcome onto the show this week, the one and only Eva Victor, the film's writer, director and star.Until this impressive debut feature, Eva was best known for a series of online videos – videos that eventually caught the attention of one Barry Jenkins, director of Moonlight and one of the first ever guests on Script Apart. Spotting a flair for comedy and observations about the human condition in those viral shorts, the story goes that Barry reached out to Eva inviting them to send him a screenplay that his production company might be able to produce. What Eva came back with was a tale of a college student whose life is upended by a bruising betrayal of trust by their academic mentor. When we meet them years later, the film's protagonist, Agnes – played by Eva – seems to be trapped in carbonite by those events, while all manner of change and chrysalis cruelly occurs around her. Their best friend, Lydie, played by Naomi Ackie, is gliding through milestones in her life. The world is moving on. Agnes, meanwhile, still has a way to go in putting the past behind them. In the spoiler-filled conversation you're about to hear, Eva and Al get under the skin of that captivating character. They tell us about how the initial idea for Sorry Baby involved a character who habitually attended court hearings. We get into the film's non-linear structure and its mirroring of how recovery from assault is a journey full of movement back and forwards in time. We also discuss the scenes cut from their shooting script that would have made for a quite different movie – including a non-sequitor sequence involving two random guys talking about sandwiches for two minutes in the middle of one of the movie's most important scenes, and an earlier encounter with Pete, the sandwich shop owner with whom Agnes shares a pivotal moment of quiet human co-existence, in the film's beautiful third act.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Now I focus on being very specific and detailed, even if I'm only speaking to 100 people.” “If you try to juggle 10 different strategies, you won't be great at any of them. Simplicity always wins.” “Retention is everything. Even if you don't sign new clients for a couple months, recurring revenue keeps your business alive.” “It's going to take much longer than you think, probably double or triple the time. But if you stay consistent, it's worth it.” Links & Resources Connect with Zach on Instagram: @fortifiedstrength Learn more about my program, The Nourished Business Accelerator: DM me NBA on Instagram

In this episode of The Stacking Benjamins Show, Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug share the top five warning signs your advisor may not have your best interests at heart.

Send us a textForget the war stories from guys who graduated 20 years ago—this is the raw, unfiltered prototype of today's Air Force Special Warfare candidate. At just 22, this dude has maxed every test, trained like a psycho, lived in a recreated basic training bay, and even did medic work in Ukraine… all before stepping foot in selection.

How do you identify stories with poison in them? They never say "TAKE THIS POISON." They always coat it in chocolate first...- "Make Me Famous" pitch reviews segment continues with "The Ghost Train". Maybe this is the episode wherein Nate finally likes a pitch.- Then the guys turn to stories that start out sweet but conceal poison in the end.- Harry Potter and The Hunger Games both start a story with something admirable (the underdog, self-sacrifice). That's the chocolate.- But once you like the chocolate, an author *can make you eat anything after that... even poison (self-pity, dissatisfaction, ungratefulness, victimhood mentality).- To demonstrate how a true underdog story works, Nate reframes the story of Joseph and the coat of many colors (not what that is).
