Podcasts about Squirrel

If taking accountability scares you, you're doing it wrong! In this episode of Troubleshooting Agile, Squirrel and Jeffrey talk about the background of the final chapter of their book, Agile Conversations, including Jeffrey's “Aha” moment watching a Kent Beck speech, why the idea of accountability teaches us to lie as kids, and what really happens when we ditch the fear and hold ourselves to account.

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: Finding Tranquility Amidst Squirrel Antics: A Winter Retreat Tale Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2026-02-25-23-34-02-sv Story Transcript:Sv: På en plats långt bort från stadens brus låg en stillsam skogsretreat täckt av gnistrande vintervit snö.En: In a place far away from the city's hustle and bustle lay a tranquil forest retreat covered in sparkling winter-white snow.Sv: Träden stod höga och tysta som vakter, medan små stigar vindlade sig fram mellan de enkla trästugorna.En: The trees stood tall and silent like guards, while small paths wound their way between the simple wooden cabins.Sv: Här sökte Lars, en stressad revisor, efter inre frid.En: This is where Lars, a stressed accountant, sought inner peace.Sv: Han hade bett om några dagar av lugn och ro för att återhämta sig från sitt hektiska liv.En: He had asked for a few days of calm and quiet to recover from his hectic life.Sv: Svea, retreatens lugna och alltid hjälpsamma ledare, välkomnade alla med ett varmt leende.En: Svea, the retreat's calm and always helpful leader, welcomed everyone with a warm smile.Sv: Hon visste att många kom hit för att hitta sig själva, och hon gjorde alltid sitt bästa för att skapa en fridfull atmosfär.En: She knew that many came here to find themselves, and she always did her best to create a peaceful atmosphere.Sv: Denna vinterdag satt Lars i meditation, omgiven av tystnaden i skogen.En: On this winter day, Lars sat in meditation, surrounded by the silence of the forest.Sv: Men något störde freden.En: But something disturbed the peace.Sv: En liten busig ekorre gjorde sina upptåg precis intill honom.En: A little mischievous squirrel was making its antics right next to him.Sv: Ekorren hoppade från gren till gren, skrattade (om ekorrar nu gjorde det) och stal showen från den frid Lars försökte finna.En: The squirrel jumped from branch to branch, laughed (if squirrels did that), and stole the show from the peace Lars was trying to find.Sv: Gunnar, Lars gamla vän, deltog också på retreaten.En: Gunnar, Lars's old friend, was also attending the retreat.Sv: Han var tvärtemot Lars; en evigt nyfiken själ, alltid redo för nya äventyr.En: He was the opposite of Lars; an ever-curious soul, always ready for new adventures.Sv: Han hade noterat ekorren och ropade muntert, “Ser du ekorren, Lars?En: He had noticed the squirrel and called out cheerfully, "Do you see the squirrel, Lars?Sv: Det är naturens lilla clown!"En: It's nature's little clown!"Sv: Lars försökte ignorera ekorren, men det lilla djurets närvaro var obeveklig.En: Lars tried to ignore the squirrel, but the little animal's presence was relentless.Sv: Ekorren vågade sig till och med fram och betraktade med sina glittrande ögon Lars och hans meditation.En: The squirrel even dared to approach and, with its sparkling eyes, watched Lars and his meditation.Sv: Mitsom han skulle stjäla mer än bara hans uppmärksamhet gjorde ekorren plötsligt ett oväntat ryck framåt, grep tag i Lars's meditationsarmband och skuttade iväg in i skogen.En: As if it would steal more than just his attention, the squirrel suddenly made an unexpected leap forward, grabbed Lars's meditation bracelet, and darted off into the forest.Sv: Lars blev chockad och reste sig hastigt, hans tankar på meditation bortflugna.En: Lars was shocked and stood up quickly, his thoughts of meditation flown away.Sv: I en oväntad rörelse av impuls följde han efter ekorren in i skogen.En: In an unexpected impulse, he followed the squirrel into the forest.Sv: Begraven i snö, kurvades stigen mellan träden, och Gunnar ropade glatt efter honom: "Låt oss springa, Lars!En: Buried in snow, the path curved between the trees, and Gunnar cheerfully called after him: "Let's run, Lars!Sv: Se det som ett äventyr!"En: See it as an adventure!"Sv: Mitt bland träden stannade Lars plötsligt.En: Among the trees, Lars suddenly stopped.Sv: Han kände snön smälta lätt under sina skor och skrattet bubblade inom honom.En: He felt the snow melting lightly under his shoes and laughter bubbling within him.Sv: Här stod han, på jakt efter en ekorre, och insåg det absurda i situationen.En: Here he was, chasing a squirrel, realizing the absurdity of the situation.Sv: Gunnar sprang ifatt honom, och tillsammans brast de ut i skratt.En: Gunnar caught up with him, and together they burst out laughing.Sv: "Det är okej", sa Gunnar.En: "It's okay," said Gunnar.Sv: "Livet är oförutsägbart.En: "Life is unpredictable.Sv: Du måste hitta glädje även i kaoset."En: You must find joy even in the chaos."Sv: Svea, som såg allt från håll, log.En: Svea, who saw everything from a distance, smiled.Sv: Lars satte sig återigen ner och nu utan armband, fann han en ny känsla av ro.En: Lars sat down again and now without the bracelet, he found a new sense of calm.Sv: Det var en ro i att släppa taget, att inte försöka kontrollera allt.En: It was a peace in letting go, in not trying to control everything.Sv: Med snövit skog omkring sig och ekorrar som små vänner lärde sig Lars att acceptera livets medgångar och motgångar med ett leende.En: With the snow-white forest around him and squirrels as little friends, Lars learned to accept life's ups and downs with a smile.Sv: Och medan ekorren tittade fram bakom ett träd, med armbandet nu liggandes glömt i snön, kände Lars något han letat länge efter - inre frid.En: And while the squirrel peeked out from behind a tree, with the bracelet now lying forgotten in the snow, Lars felt something he had been searching for a long time - inner peace.

Send a textWelcome to this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, the podcast that brings you real-life dog training results, and sometimes human training ones too!This week, we're continuing our new series of episodes exploring what concept training actually is and how it shows up in real life with your dog. We'll be taking concepts you may have heard us talk about before, breaking them down, and making them practical, relatable, and easy to spot in your own training sessions and day-to-day interactions with your dog. This time, Lauren is joined by the amazing Sam to explore one of the most important - and often overlooked - skills in dog training: disengagement.Ever felt your dog vanish into a distraction - locked on a squirrel, snout glued to fox scent, or bee-lining toward a picnic? Listen in as we chat about the missing skill that is at the root of all those struggles: disengagement - the ability to turn away from temptation and choose you instead. Using simple, relatable analogies - like the cake you keep nibbling or the spider you can't stop thinking about - we show how fixation works in both humans and dogs, then translate that into practical training you can start today.Lauren and Sam consider why some dogs struggle more, whether it's lack of education or innate wiring, and how to meet each dog where they're at. Sam also shares one of her all time favourite games - Disengagement Pattern - a clear, repeatable game that pays your dog generously for orienting back to you. Toss one treat toward mild interest, then deliver a small jackpot for the turn-away to anchor a new value system: outside temptations are single coins; you are the bank. We explain how to adapt reinforcement - by amount or quality - to keep the contrast clear without overfeeding, and how to manage distance like a volume dial so your dog can think rather than tip into frenzy.From pheasants bursting from hedges to food scraps in city parks, we chat real-life scenarios and show how to reset, create space, and reinforce better choices. You'll hear how to chain quick wins, when to pivot to other games, and how practice at home makes walks smoother and calmer. This is a blueprint for building recall-like reliability without constant cueing, because the best behaviour is the one your dog chooses.Ready to try it yourself?

Send a textWelcome to this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, the podcast that brings you real-life dog training results, and sometimes human training ones too!This week, Lauren is joined once again by the amazing Alice, to kick off a new series of episodes where we're exploring what concept training actually is and how it applies to real life with your dog. We'll be taking concepts you may have heard us talk about before, breaking them down, and making them practical, relatable, and easy to spot in your own training sessions and day-to-day interactions with your dog. And we're starting with optimism.What if your dog's “reactivity” is really a pessimistic prediction about the world - one you could rewrite it with play? We share how teaching optimism through simple, structured games turned Bonnie, a large mastiff mix with explosive dog-to-dog reactions, into a calm, confident dog who can enjoy off‑lead time with friends and settle peacefully at home.Listen in as Lauren and Alice break down optimism as a practical training concept: when a dog learns to expect good outcomes from ambiguous situations, barking, lunging and hiding give way to curiosity and choice. You'll hear how short, rewarding games reshape neural pathways, why ditching the bowl fuels learning, and how to build habits of calm disengagement around big triggers like cyclists, fireworks and vet handling. Alice shares one of her favourite and most accessible games for boosting optimism with any dog - Noise Box - using everyday items to make novelty safe and fun.This is a story of real change grounded in games-based training, management and community support. We talk measurable wins - faster recovery, softer body language, easier check-ins - and the difference optimism makes beyond reactivity: smoother grooming, kinder vet visits and a shared sense of confidence at both ends of the lead. If you're tired of bracing for the next meltdown, this approach gives you a roadmap that feels kind, achievable and effective.Ready to try it yourself?

A 19th-century engineering marvel promised perfect efficiency and airtight security—by turning an entire jail into a rotating machine. Instead, it became a symbol of mechanical hubris, human confinement, and the strange way technology can outlive its purpose.

Squirrels are a common sight, seemingly everywhere in wild and urban nature. Their chattering antics in city parks delight us while their raids on our backyard gardens and birdfeeders never fail to exasperate. But squirrels are more than amusing backyard entertainers, and few of us know much about them or fully appreciate their role in keeping the environment healthy. As stress on the natural world intensifies, should we be paying more attention to the plight of squirrels?In Squirrel: How a Backyard Forager Shapes Our World (Island Press, 2025), Nancy Castaldo shines new light on this familiar backyard mammal, exploring their staggering diversity (they're found on all continents but Antarctica) and the many surprising ways they shape our world, our communities, and our cultures. Each chapter explores an aspect of squirrels and their close and sometimes fraught association with humans: their importance to myriad ecosystems through sophisticated food-caching strategies; their introduction to nineteenth-century urban parks as adorable ambassadors for nature; their complicated global status as both invasive and endangered; their role as celebrated cultural icons and social media memes; and ultimately, why we must prevent population declines and protect their well-being while we can. Like other wildlife species, squirrels are increasingly stressed by climate change, and their speculative fate may foreshadow our own. The book includes a detailed bibliography, an exhaustive list of squirrel species and their status, and tips for coexisting peaceably with squirrels in our yards and neighborhoods. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

A restaurant experienced a power outage lasting over an hour and a half. Because of the outage, they decided to close for the rest of the evening, claiming lost revenue from missed dinner service. PLRB weather tools will help us explore outage duration, date and time, location, and eventual cause. As we investigate, we'll encounter an efficient proximate cause issue, the electrical currents exclusion, and a fried squirrel.   Notable Timestamps [ 00:00 ] - The episode sets up a real-world insurance scenario: a restaurant closes after a 90-minute power outage and claims lost revenue, raising questions about cause, duration, and coverage. [ 00:38 ] - Investigating a power outage starts with verifying the exact date, time, duration, location, and cause, all of which are critical inputs for determining whether a claim may be payable. [ 02:29 ] - Using PLRB's power outage report, investigators can search by address and date range, view outages within a one-mile radius, and see results on an interactive map and data table. [ 03:14 ] - Outage data comes from utilities nationwide, gets updated every ten minutes, and covers about 87% of U.S. electric customers. This report helps establish whether an insured location likely lost power. [ 05:04 ] - The report shows outage IDs, UTC timestamps, customer counts, utility names, estimated restoration times, and potentially the confirmed cause, all exportable in a shareable PDF. [ 06:53 ] - Determining the outage cause is essential because many policies distinguish between natural events and artificial causes, which can directly affect coverage decisions. [ 08:19 ] - In this case, investigators found the outage was caused by a squirrel contacting electrical equipment, leading to arcing that damaged a transformer and knocked out power. [ 13:04 ] - The court rejected "but for" causation and made a ruling that did not invalidate the policy exclusion. [ 17:49 ] - Dylan summarized upcoming PLRB Weather/CATs developments.

What if being "professional" in emails… is actually killing your sales? Most marketers are still crafting polite, question-heavy messages; meanwhile, former stand-up comedian Ray Engan is using humor to sell 30% more, revive ghosted prospects, and build instant connections that AI can never replicate. In this episode, we get real about: Why questions create walls with strangers (not connections), the fatal "polite prism" mistake that makes you invisible, and why humor isn't about being funny but being memorable. Plus, Ray shares the 7-word email with a 100% open rate and why "acceptably unusual" beats perfectly bland every single time.

Bushy Tail: The Curious Squirrel by Florence P Bullis https://www.amazon.com/Bushy-Tail-Squirrel-Florence-Bullis/dp/B0B3VTTDWW Bushy Tail The Curious Squirrel By: Florence P. Bullis The camp may be home for several squirrels, but only one called Bushy Tail, shows up regularly and he is into everything. Bushy Tail, a lively, energetic, inquisitive creature of the forest, reclaims the campground as his permanent residence. Nothing is beyond his ability to investigate and report back to Chatter, his mate. The campers all appear to have fun, especially with a character like Bushy Tail around. If there are more squirrels than these two, the others are too shy to be seen in the campsite at the same time as Bushy. A young couple with two small boys are quite challenged to live for six weeks in a conestoga-like, fold-down camper trailer. The campground is located in Florida with a shower and restroom building close to the site. A natural pool is provided for recreation, and Bushy Tail’s antics entertain at least this one camper family. Florence P. Bullis combines a little fiction with a bit of non-fiction in poetic form, from a squirrel’s point of view with humor and excitement, filling the experience with treasured memories worth sharing back home and with future campers. About the Author When her own children had grown and produced children of their own, Florence P. Bullis began gathering the journals of her memories to share with the next generation. Her hope is that in the lives of this electronically connected culture, the joy of experiencing nature is not lost. Florence is now a retired LPN and an author of 5 other books: Including Vision of Two Ships, an auto-biography and Welcome Holy Spirit, a 50 day devotional. From her kitchen window, she often checks on the lively black and brown squirrels, wild turkeys, groundhogs and an occasional deer that appear in her backyard. More episodes of Bushy Tail may be pending.

Let me describe someone you probably manage right now: she's brilliant, creative, and a pattern recognizer, but she's also... a lot. She might have 17 browser tabs open, interrupt enthusiastically in meetings, or struggle with "simple" expense reports while crushing complex strategy. You might be thinking she just needs better time management or executive presence, but what if I told you that isn't a performance issue? In this episode—which I'm thinking of calling "Squirrel"—we are talking about late-diagnosed ADHD, the invisible disability hiding in plain sight among your highest performers. In this episode I'm discussing the "neurospicy" talent hiding in plain sight and why what looks like burnout is actually unsupported neurodivergence.
