In this podcast Dr. Jenelle Kim, a ninth-generation Traditional Oriental Medicine practitioner, explains how she assesses a patient's health through observation, pulse, and tongue diagnosis, focusing on the balance of yin and yang. She details the concept of yin and yang, explaining how imbalances manifest physically and emotionally, providing examples like dry, cracked tongues (yin deficiency) and fat, wet tongues (spleen deficiency). The interview explores the importance of Qi (vital energy), its flow through meridians, and how stagnation leads to various health problems. Dr. Kim emphasizes the three M's: medicine, movement (like Qigong), and meditation (mindset), highlighting the crucial role of self-awareness and self-regulation in maintaining balance and preventing burnout. #chinesemedicine #naturalmedicine #healing ==== Dr. Jenelle Kim IG: @drjenellemkim ==== Thank You To Our Sponsors!

In episode 5 Dr. Karyne Messina and Dr. Harry Gill talked about what can happen when middle-age and older adults watch screens too much as opposed to engaging in other important tasks in life during Erik Eriksson's last two stages of development. In the “Generativity versus Stagnation” stage (ages 40-65), productive individuals focus on contributing to society by raising families, engaging in meaningful work, and connecting with their communities. This can't be done in optimal ways when people spend too much time watching screens. Excessive screen time may also lead to a sense of stagnation if it prevents individuals from engaging in life in meaningful ways. In the “Integrity vs. Despair” stage (65+ years old), people who are connected to others don't watch screens excessively because they are engaged in life in their later years reflecting on what they have accomplished whether it is through writing books or sharing information with others in different ways. Too much screen time can interfere with the ability to engage in a meaningful review of one's life. Instead of sharing wisdom with younger generations, older adults who focus of watching screens for many hours a day may become isolated and disconnected from real-world interactions, potentially leading to a sense of despair. Dr. Messina discussed the fact that adults who spend 6 or more hours a day on social media platforms tend to be much more depressed and anxious than those who don't. Dr. Gill talked about the effects of too much screentime on sleep, explaining how blue light emitted by screens interferes with falling asleep because of the lack of production of melatonin. This prevents people from falling asleep. They both talked about the benefits of turning off phones and televisions early in the evening so that a person, couple or family can have quality time participating in some type of meaningful activity versus watching what people on screens are saying or doing. Another topic included in this podcast and YouTube video outlined ways to mitigate problems associated with too much screen time. Dr. Messina focused on the importance of community which she thinks is important at all ages. If getting together in person isn't possible, talking with a friend on the phone is better than using this device for passive purposes such as scrolling through social media posts. Dr. Gill reminded people how important it is to meet in person and said some of his patients have actually enjoyed going back to work full-time once they have gotten used to it again. He added that screen aren't always negative later in life if people aren't able to meet in person. For example, if older people can't drive or easily meet with friends or family members in person, he said some of his patients have weekly Zoom meetings with others which helps them feel connected. Drs. Gill and Messina talked about being addicted to screens and what people can do about this condition which starts with a commitment to set limits and make rules about screentime. Finding other worthwhile or pleasurable activities was included in the discussion such as listening to music, reading, painting, doing crossword puzzles, etc. Learn more about your ad choices.

Over the past decade, productivity and innovation have fallen behind because the Trudeau Government Policy made sure that our natural resources stayed in the ground. We are responsible for our decline - and now we have Mark Carney vying to be the next Prime Minister. Does he really expect Canadians to believe that he has abandoned his own outdated environmental dogma? Can Canada endure another four years of Liberal-engineered decline? Bryan Gould is the CEO of Aspenleaf Energy Limited - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Good morning, friends! Are you finding yourself stuck in the same routine, feeling like your days are just blending together without purpose? In this episode of Mornings with Monette, we're diving deep into a powerful mindset shift: moving from a Cynical Pessimistic Mindset to a Visionary Mindset. I'll share why the real culprit behind feeling aimless is a lack of vision and how taking 100% responsibility for your life can change everything. As Proverbs 29:18 says, ‘Where there is no vision, the people perish.' Together, we'll explore how embracing God's guidance and creating a clear vision can bring joy, fulfillment, and momentum back into your life. If you're ready to stop merely existing and start truly living, this episode is for you!”

In dieser Folge steht das Thema »Künstliche Unitelligenz« im Mittelpunkt – ein Begriff, der aus einem Artikel aus dem Spectator stammt: Britain has become a pioneer in Artificial Unintelligence. Was genau verbirgt sich hinter dieser Idee? »Artificial Unintelligence is the means by which people of perfectly adequate natural intelligence are transformed by policies, procedures and protocols into animate but inflexible cogs. They speak and behave, but do not think or decide.« Wie werden aus Menschen mit natürlicher Intelligenz bloß unflexible Rädchen? Wir reflektieren die zunehmende Strukturierung und Standardisierung in Organisationen, um mit wachsender gesellschaftlicher Komplexität umgehen zu können. Ein Ausgangspunkt der Episode ist die Frage, warum wir in immer mehr Organisationen eine strukturelle und individuelle Inkompetenz erleben? Ein Zitat aus dem genannten Artikel fasst es treffend zusammen:  »‘I didn't find anything in common in these cases,' I said, ‘except the stupidity of your staff. I expected him to get angry, but he maintained a Buddha-like calm. ‘Oh, I know,' he replied, ‘but that is the standard expected now.'« Wie konnte es so weit kommen? Liegt es an der Industrialisierung, die laut Dan Davies in The Unaccountability Machine besagt:  »A very important consequence of industrialisation is that it breaks the connection between the worker and the product.« Oder hat es damit zu tun, wie wir mit Überwältungung durch Information umgehen. »When people are overwhelmed by information, they always react in the same way – by building systems.« Sind Menschen, die individuell denken, in solchen Systemen eher hinderlich als hilfreich? Doch was passiert, wenn komplexe Probleme auftreten, die Flexibilität und Kreativität erfordern? Sind unsere Organisationen überhaupt noch in der Lage, mit unerwarteten Situationen umzugehen, oder arbeiten sie nur noch »maschinenhaft« nach Vorgaben – und das mit einem Maschinenverständnis des 19. Jahrhunderts? Ist die Stagnation, die wir seit Jahrzehnten spüren, ein Symptom dieses Systemversagens? Und wie hängt das mit der sogenannten »Unaccountability Machine« zusammen, die Davies beschreibt und die man im Deutschen vielleicht als »Verantwortungslosigkeits-Maschine« bezeichnen könnte? Kann es sogar sein, dass manche Strukturen bewusst als »self-organising control fraud« gestaltet sind? Ein weiteres damit verbundenes Thema ist: Wie beeinflussen moderne Prognose-Tools wie Recommender Systems unser Verhalten? Dienen sie wirklich dazu, bessere Entscheidungen zu ermöglichen, oder machen sie uns hauptsächlich vorhersagbarer? »Menschen, die dies und jedes gekauft/gesehen haben, haben auch dies gekauft/gesehen« – ist das noch Prognose oder schon Formung des Geschmacks? Und was ist mit wissenschaftlichen Modellen komplexer Systeme, die oft relativ beliebige Ergebnisse liefern? Formen sie nicht auch die Meinung von Wissenschaftlern, Politikern und der Gesellschaft – etwa durch die überall beobachtbare schlichte Medienberichterstattung?  Bleibt außerdem der Mensch wirklich »in the loop«, wie oft behauptet wird, oder ist er längst ein »artificial unintelligent man in the loop«, der Empfehlungen des Systems kaum hinterfragen kann? Die Episode wirft auch einen kritischen Blick auf naive Ideologien wie das »Scientific World Management« von Alfred Korzybski, der schrieb:  „it will give a scientific foundation to Political Economy and transform so-called ‘scientific shop management' into genuine ‘scientific world management.'“  War dieser Wunsch nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg verständlich, aber letztlich völlig missgeleitet? Und warum erleben wir heute eine Wiederkehr des naiven Szientismus, der glaubt, »die Wissenschaft« liefere objektive Antworten? Wie hängen solche Ideen mit Phänomenen wie »Science Diplomacy« zusammen? Die zentrale Frage der Episode lautet: Wie erreicht man, dass Menschen in Verantwortung korrekt im Sinne des definierten Zwecks der Organisation entscheiden? Doch was ist überhaupt der Zweck eines Systems? Stafford Beer sagt:  »The purpose of a system is what it does.« Stimmt der definierte Zweck – etwa Gesundheit im Gesundheitssystem – noch mit der Realität überein? Warum entscheiden Ärzte oft defensiv im eigenen Interesse statt im Interesse der Patienten? Und wie überträgt sich dieses Verhalten auf andere Organisationen – von Ministerien bis hin zur Wissenschaft? Davies beschreibt das ab Beispiel des akademischen Publikationswesens so:  „A not-wholly-unfair analysis of academic publishing would be that it is an industry in which academics compete against one another for the privilege of providing free labour for a profitmaking company, which then sells the results back to them at monopoly prices.“  Und weiter:  „The truly valuable output of the academic publishing industry is not journals, but citations.“  Was ist aus der Idee geworden, dass die Generierung von neuem und relevantem Wissen die Aufgabe von Wissenschaft, Förderung und Publikationswesen ist? Zum Abschluss stelle ich die Frage: Wie können Systeme so gestaltet werden, dass Verantwortung wieder übernommen wird? Wie balanciert man die Zuordnung von Konsequenzen mit der Möglichkeit, ehrlich zu scheitern – ohne Innovation zu ersticken? Und was sind »Luxury Beliefs« – jene modischen Ideen elitärer Kreise, die sie selbst nicht tragen müssen, während sie für andere zur existenziellen Bedrohung werden?  Die Episode endet so mit einem Aufruf zur Diskussion: Wie lösen wir diesen Spagat zwischen Verantwortung und Risiko in einer immer komplexeren Welt?

Is your team more afraid of sharing a bad idea or missing out on a great one? In this episode, Mike and Kristen dig into what truly makes a culture innovative - and it's probably not what you think. Most companies claim to value innovation, but few actually design their culture to support it. Through a framework Kristen calls the "Improvation Matrix," they explore how openness to new ideas and commitment to execution create the foundation for genuine innovation. Plus, Mike takes a delightful detour through the Museum of Failure (featuring gems like Colgate Lasagna and Limeade Oreos) to illustrate why embracing failure might be the most important element in fostering creativity. Whether your team is stuck in stagnation, drowning in noise, or trapped in rigid thinking, this episode offers practical strategies to shift your culture toward true innovation.Highlights:Kristen introduces the Improvation Matrix with two axes: openness to new ideas and level of commitmentTeams can exist in four states: Stagnation, Noise, Rigidity, or Innovation depending on their cultureThe "Yes, And" mindset from improv fosters divergent thinking and gives creative ideas room to breatheThe Museum of Failure showcases products like New Coke and Colgate Lasagna as examples of how even successful companies failThree levels of listening: listening to respond, listening to hear, and listening to understandThe Golden State Warriors' "Strength in Numbers" philosophy demonstrates how supporting teammates leads to successIncorporating play at work reduces stress, improves cognitive function, and enhances creativityLinks & Resources Mentioned:Museum of Failure Episode #7: 10 Ways Improv Makes You a Better LeaderGet your FREE 5 Day Leadership Reset Challenge guide here: https://llpod.link/challengePodcast Website: www.loveandleadershippod.comInstagram: @loveleaderpodFollow us on LinkedIn!Kristen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristenbsharkey/ Mike: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-s-364970111/Learn more about Kristen's leadership coaching and facilitation services: http://www.emboldify.com

OpenAI has released research in collaboration with the MIT Media Lab that explores the emotional impact of using ChatGPT. The study indicates that while over 400 million people engage with ChatGPT weekly, only a small number form emotional connections with the chatbot, which is primarily marketed as a productivity tool. Notably, female users reported a decrease in socialization after four weeks of use, and those who interacted with the chatbot in a voice different from their own experienced heightened feelings of loneliness. The findings suggest that users who bond with ChatGPT may face increased loneliness and emotional dependency, prompting OpenAI to submit these studies for peer review.In the competitive landscape of generative artificial intelligence, OpenAI is reportedly facing significant financial challenges, with annual operating costs estimated between $7-8 billion. AI scholar Kai-Fu Lee points out that as foundational models become more commoditized, OpenAI may struggle to compete with cheaper alternatives like DeepSea, which operates at just 2% of OpenAI's costs. Lee emphasizes that the economics of the AI industry are shifting towards open-source models, which are cheaper to produce and operate, suggesting that while OpenAI is not on the brink of collapse, the market may soon be dominated by a few key players.The podcast also discusses the evolving capabilities of AI models, highlighting the latest version of ChatGPT, which can now blend text and image generation and respond to voice commands. Additionally, DeepSeek has upgraded its AI model, showing improved performance in coding and reasoning tasks, while Google has introduced its Gemini 2.5 Pro model, which boasts enhanced reasoning capabilities and a large token context window. These advancements indicate a trend where AI models are becoming more versatile and capable of handling complex tasks, emphasizing the importance of deployment flexibility and cost efficiency in the evolving AI landscape.Finally, the episode addresses ongoing privacy concerns surrounding AI technologies, including a new complaint against OpenAI in Europe for generating false information and a settlement reached by Clearview AI regarding privacy violations. The discussion highlights the legal implications of using generative AI tools, particularly in relation to GDPR compliance. Additionally, the podcast examines the lack of diversity in IT leadership, revealing that despite efforts towards diversity, equity, and inclusion, the demographic makeup of IT leadership remains largely unchanged, underscoring the need for continued focus on inclusive leadership in the tech industry. Four things to know today 00:00 Talking to ChatGPT Might Hurt Your Mood—And OpenAI's Bottom Line04:15 Who's Winning the AI Arms Race?

“Your body has all the tools it needs to heal—if you allow energy to flow freely. The lymphatic system, fascia, oxygen, and hydration are the keys to vitality and regeneration.” ~ Kelly KennedyEverything in the body is energy, and how well that energy flows determines your health, resilience, and ability to heal.

Bring Out Your Stagnation!In the bustling village of Progressia, every Tuesday morning, the town crier—an overworked man in a tattered robe named Nigel—pushed his old wooden cart through the cobbled streets, shouting:"Bring out your stagnation! Bring out your stagnation!"It was a longstanding tradition. Villagers would shuffle out of their homes, dragging out bad ideas, outdated habits, and half-baked projects, dumping them onto the cart so they could be disposed of properly.One day, old farmer Reginald hobbled out, dragging something heavy behind him.“Here's my career,” he grumbled. “It hasn't moved in years.”Nigel peered down at the heap of dusty resignation letters, ignored training courses, and a suspiciously untouched LinkedIn profile. He poked it with a stick.“Oh no, that's not quite dead,” Nigel said. “It just needs a bit of effort!”“Nonsense,” said Reginald. “I'm stuck, out of ideas, and might as well give up.”Suddenly, the heap of career mistakes coughed and sat up. “I'm feeling much better,” it croaked. “I think I'll take a course on Agile leadership and try networking again.”Reginald frowned. “Look, can we just throw it on the cart? Makes things simpler.”But Nigel shook his head. “You see, mate, the problem isn't that your career is dead. It's that you stopped improving. If you're still breathing, you can still grow.”A murmur of agreement spread through the crowd. People began dragging out their own half-forgotten goals—neglected gym memberships, dusty musical instruments, and an entire sack labeled "New Year's Resolutions (2009-2024)".Nigel grinned. “See? You don't need to get rid of your past—you need to upgrade it! Continual improvement, people! That's how you avoid ending up on the cart.”From that day forward, Progressia changed. Every Tuesday, instead of throwing away their “stagnation,” people took their old ideas and revitalized them—learning new skills, trying new methods, and embracing a growth mindset.And as for Reginald? Well, he got himself a Scrum Master certification and became quite the success. (Though he still grumbled about it.)Moral of the story: Don't throw yourself on the cart too soon. If you're still breathing, you can still grow!How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

In the absence of a training plan or coaching, many runners get the trail or path at a running pace that just feels right. Run fast enough that you feel like you are training, but not so hard that it's too uncomfortable. Let's explore different definitions of running intensity, metrics to measure and which ones to use when: Defining Run Intensity - Run intensity refers to the level of effort or exertion you put into a running activity. It is often categorized as low, moderate, or high intensity, based on factors like pace, heart rate, breathing, and perceived effort. Here's a quick breakdown: Low Intensity: Easy, conversational pace. Your heart rate is relatively low, and you can maintain this effort for a long time. Moderate Intensity: Steady effort where you're working harder, but can still talk in short sentences. Your heart rate is elevated, and it's a great zone for building endurance. High Intensity: Challenging effort where talking becomes difficult, and you feel you're pushing close to your maximum capacity. This is often used in interval or sprint training. Rate of Perceived Exertion - Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a scale used to measure the intensity of your physical activity based on how hard you feel you're working. Unlike metrics like heart rate or pace, RPE is subjective and relies on your personal assessment of effort, factoring in sensations like breathing, muscle fatigue, and overall discomfort. Why Run to Perceived Exertion? Individualized Intensity: RPE adapts to your fitness level, energy, and external conditions (like heat or hills), offering a more personalized way to gauge effort. Improved Training: It helps balance your runs—ensuring easy days stay easy and hard days push you effectively. Injury Prevention: Avoid overtraining by recognizing when you're pushing too hard. When to Run to Perceived Exertion? Adverse Conditions: When gadgets like heart rate monitors or GPS devices are unreliable, such as in extreme weather or technical terrain. Adaptive Workouts: If you're feeling unusually tired or energetic, RPE allows you to adjust your workout to match your current capability. Race Training: For pacing strategies during races, especially if unexpected factors (like crowded race conditions) arise.   How to Run to Perceived Exertion? Use a simplified RPE scale (1 to 10): 1–2 (Very Easy): Recovery runs or warm-ups. You should feel like you can talk effortlessly. 3–4 (Easy-Moderate): Base-building runs, where you can hold a conversation without strain. 5–6 (Moderate): Steady effort runs, breathing heavier but still manageable. 7–8 (Hard): Tempo runs or intervals; talking is difficult, and you're focused. 9–10 (Maximum Effort): Short sprints or finishes; you're working at your limit. Incorporating RPE into your runs allows for more mindful training, adjusting to your body's signals in real time.   Heart Rate - Running to heart rate intensity involves monitoring and controlling your effort level based on your heart rate during exercise. This method helps align your training with specific fitness goals by ensuring you stay within optimal heart rate zones. Why Run to Heart Rate Intensity? Targeted Training: Heart rate zones align with physiological benefits like fat burning, aerobic endurance, or anaerobic power, making your training more effective. Prevent Overtraining: It ensures you don't push too hard on easy days or underperform on hard days. Performance Feedback: Tracks improvements over time as you can run faster at the same heart rate or maintain higher intensities for longer. When to Run to Heart Rate Intensity? Structured Training Plans: Ideal for workouts aimed at specific goals, like building endurance or improving speed. Recovery Runs: Helps keep effort low, avoiding unnecessary strain.   Race Pacing: Guides you to stay consistent and avoid burnout, especially during long races like marathons. How to Run to Heart Rate Intensity? Determine Your Heart Rate Zones: Calculate them based on your maximum heart rate (rough estimate: 220−age) or use a fitness test for accuracy. Common zones are: Zone 1 (50–60% of max HR): Active recovery. Zone 2 (60–70% of max HR): Aerobic endurance (easy effort). Zone 3 (70–80% of max HR): Steady-state/cardio fitness. Zone 4 (80–90% of max HR): Anaerobic power (hard effort). Zone 5 (90–100% of max HR): Maximal effort (short sprints). Wear a Heart Rate Monitor: Use a chest strap or wrist-based device for real-time feedback. Match Your Runs to Zones: Recovery runs in Zone 1–2. Long, slow distance runs in Zone 2. Tempo runs in Zone 3–4. Interval workouts in Zone 4–5. Training by heart rate takes time to get used to, especially as your pace can vary due to factors like weather, terrain, or fatigue.   Pace - Running to pace intensity involves setting and maintaining specific paces during your runs based on your goals and fitness level. This approach relies on measurable speed, helping runners stay consistent and hit desired performance targets. Why Run to Pace Intensity? Goal-Oriented Training: Enables you to train precisely for specific race goals, like a personal best or qualifying time. Consistency: Keeps your workouts structured and ensures you're working at the right level of effort. Progress Measurement: Tracking pace helps evaluate improvement and adjust training over time. When to Run to Pace Intensity? Race Preparation: Crucial when training for events like 5Ks, marathons, or ultramarathons to mimic race day conditions. Tempo and Speed Workouts: Ensures you're working hard enough to improve endurance or speed. Performance Tracking: Useful in testing sessions to assess fitness levels and adapt training plans. How to Run to Pace Intensity? Set Target Paces: Base them on your fitness level or goals, often determined through assessments (like a recent race) or pace calculators. Example: A long run at a slower, steady pace vs. interval training at faster paces. Use a GPS Watch or App: Track your pace in real time to stay on target. Match Workouts to Paces: Easy Runs: ~60–75% of your race pace, focusing on recovery and endurance. Tempo Runs: ~85–90% of race pace, maintaining a challenging but sustainable effort. Speed Work: Short, fast intervals (e.g., 400m) run faster than race pace to build speed. Running to pace is an excellent tool for precision, but it's important to stay flexible since factors like terrain, weather, or fatigue can impact your speed.   Grade Adjusted Pace - Running to grade-adjusted pace (GAP) intensity accounts for the impact of elevation changes (uphills and downhills) on your effort level. It essentially adjusts your pace to reflect how hard you're working, regardless of the terrain, allowing for a more accurate evaluation of intensity.   Why Run to Grade-Adjusted Pace Intensity? Effort Consistency: Uphills and downhills significantly alter your pace, and GAP provides a better measure of effort than raw pace alone. Smarter Training: Allows you to match your effort levels to your goals, even on hilly routes. Race Preparation: Ideal for training on varied terrain while maintaining the intensity required for flat courses or specific race targets. When to Run to Grade-Adjusted Pace Intensity? Hilly Routes: Use GAP to ensure your effort stays consistent when elevation fluctuates. Long Distance Training: GAP can help keep you within the right intensity zone during marathons or other endurance events on rolling terrain. Performance Analysis: Post-run, GAP is great for evaluating your effort compared to your intended training intensity. How to Run to Grade-Adjusted Pace Intensity? Use a GAP Calculator or App: Apps like Strava and certain running watches automatically calculate GAP based on elevation data during your run. Focus on Effort: Pay attention to how your body feels in hilly sections and adjust your pace to keep a steady effort. Uphills: Run slower than your flat-ground pace; GAP adjusts to reflect the extra effort. Downhills: Your pace naturally increases, but GAP accounts for the reduced effort. Incorporate GAP into Training Zones: Easy runs: Stay in lower GAP zones to avoid overworking on hills. Tempo runs: Use GAP to sustain the intended intensity, regardless of terrain. Hill workouts: GAP helps you measure consistent effort, improving strength and endurance. Running to grade-adjusted pace allows you to train smarter, especially in regions where hills dominate the landscape. Power - Running to power intensity involves using a power meter to measure the amount of force or effort you're exerting during a run, expressed in watts. Unlike heart rate or pace, which can be influenced by external factors, running power provides an immediate and objective measure of your effort, making it a highly efficient way to train. Why Run to Power Intensity? Objective Measurement: Power reflects your actual output, unaffected by variables like heat, fatigue, or elevation. Precision: It ensures you're training at the right intensity for specific goals, from endurance to speed. Consistency Across Terrain: Power accounts for changes in elevation and surface, helping you maintain consistent effort. Improved Efficiency: Monitoring your power output can help you refine your running form and efficiency. When to Run to Power Intensity? Hilly or Variable Terrain: Power allows you to maintain effort regardless of elevation changes, making it great for trail or road running. Interval Training: Provides instant feedback, so you can hit and sustain specific targets for each interval. Racing: Helps you avoid going out too hard or too easy by sticking to your target power zone, especially in events with rolling hills. How to Run to Power Intensity? Set Power Zones: Determine your Functional Threshold Power (FTP) through a fitness test, then calculate power zones (similar to heart rate zones): Zone 1 (Recovery): 55% or less of FTP. Zone 2 (Easy): 56–75% of FTP for aerobic base building. Zone 3 (Moderate): 76–90% of FTP for steady-state running. Zone 4 (Threshold): 91–105% of FTP for sustained hard efforts. Zone 5 (VO2 Max): 106–120% of FTP for short, intense intervals. Zone 6 (Anaerobic): Over 120% of FTP for maximal efforts. Use a Running Power Meter: Devices like Stryd or certain smartwatches with power sensors provide real-time wattage data. Match Workouts to Zones: Long runs: Stay in Zone 2 for endurance. Tempo runs: Target Zone 3–4 for sustained, moderate efforts. Intervals: Push into Zone 5–6 for high-intensity bursts. Training with power takes some adjustment but can lead to greater insights and efficiency in your running.   Get Gritty Tip: Mastering Run Intensity Not every run should feel like a race. One of the biggest mistakes endurance athletes make is pushing too hard on easy days and not hard enough on intensity days. The result? Stagnation, burnout, and frustration. Here's the key: Honor the purpose of each run. Easy runs should be easy—think conversational pace, building endurance without taxing your system. But when it's time to go hard, don't hold back. Speed work, tempo runs, and race efforts should push your limits, not just check a box. Challenge: On your next run, be intentional. If it's an easy day, slow down more than feels natural. If it's an intense day, embrace the discomfort and lean in. Training smart is how you break through. Grit isn't just about effort—it's about discipline. TriDot Workout of the Week:  “Threshold Repeats” vs “Recovery Run” Threshold Repeats Session Note Your goal is to perform each repeat with a consistent effort. The pace of your last repeat should be the same or slightly faster than your first. Be conservative and don't go out too hard on the first one else your later repeats will be negatively impacted. The most significant training benefit will come in how well you perform on the last few efforts. Recoveries should be at an extremly slow jog.   Main Set 2 x 9 min @ Z4 (2 min) Balance of session @ Z2 Balance of time @ Z2 Recovery Run   Session Note It's essential to manage your intensity for this session based on heart rate rather than pace and keep your heart rate well within the proper zone, even if it means walking instead of running.   Going too hard on this session will hinder your recovery from prior sessions, limit your ability to get the most out of future sessions, and deprive you of the essential training adaptations that only come with training at the lower intensity.   The pace at which you can go while maintaining a lower heart rate (and whether that is walking or running) is determined by many factors including environment, dehydration, residual fatigue, body composition, running efficiency, and aerobic fitness.   As your body composition, running efficiency, and aerobic fitness improve, you will develop the ability to go faster at your target heart rate. Maintaining your lower heart rate during these sessions is key to developing that ability.   Your heart rate is the standard of truth for your intensity level on this session. If you need to walk, then be disciplined to walk and remember that for these sessions ‘walking is winning'.

Studies show that 1 in 5 people are languishing, meaning they're not clinically depressed but are struggling with a lack of meaning, motivation, and fulfilment.Dr. Joep has spent years studying mental well-being and developing science-backed strategies to help people move from stagnation to a life filled with purpose and growth. We discuss why so many people feel like they're just going through the motions, the hidden costs of languishing, and the simple, practical changes that can lead to meaning, connection, and forward momentum in your life.If you've ever felt like stuck in life, this conversation will give you the tools to take action—starting today.TOPICS:The concept of languishing—what it is and why it affects 1 in 5 people.The key drivers of fulfilment, including connection, meaning, and personal growth.Science-backed strategies to move from stagnation to a thriving, purpose-driven life.MORE FROM NICK:Book a FREE call here to learn about the Move Your Mind Program: https://tinyurl.com/yc3zmu35Find all links here: https://nickbracks.start.page/Sign up to the website: nickbracks.comConnect with Nick on Instagram, Twitter & LinkedInMORE FROM DR.

India's history isn't just the story of one nation—it's the story of one-sixth of humanity. It's also a lens for understanding how colonialism, democracy, and globalization shaped the modern world. This mini-series offers a human-centred perspective on that remarkable story, focusing on how politics and trade impacted the lives of ordinary Indians. In Part 1, we explored the decline of the Mughals and the long stretch of British rule. In Part 2, we turn to India's independent journey as the world's largest democracy. To guide us through this complex history, I'm joined again by Bishnupriya Gupta, a professor of economics and the author of the excellent Economic History of India. In this episode, we discuss:The legacy of British colonialism in independent India / Why India fell behind the economic miracle of East Asian countries like China / The successes and challenges of India's democracy in shaping its economic future / What happened to inequality in India during independence?As always, we finish with my guest's reflections on humanity.MENTIONS Past episodes: What About China (with Yasheng Huang, #44-46)Keywords: Independent India | British colonialism | British Raj | Indian nationalism | Indian industry | Economic inequality | Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru | Nehruvian period | National Congress | China miracle | Human capital formation | Literacy | Primary vs higher education | Poverty reduction | LINKSRead more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠OnHumans.Substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

The life of Michael Parenti is truly extraordinary, as he witnessed two significant cultural movements that changed the word. Growing up in Malibu, he went to school with the likes of Sean Penn and Charlie Sheen, met a young Madonna before she was an international star, hung out in Bob Dylan's house, and saw live acts like Nirvana and Red Hot Chilli Peppers long before MTV made them famous. As an internet entrepreneur, he became involved with the Bitcoin Foundation and also saw the early days of Ethereum. He attended hundreds of events, spoke with some of the people who are completely unapproachable today, and found himself in the middle of something magical, naive, and revolutionary. In this episode, we talk about the backstage politics that Michael Parenti witnessed and what it was like to believe in the cyhpherpunk dream more than a decade ago.

Send us a textAbout the Guest:Frankie Russo is an entrepreneur, speaker, and author who specializes in business growth, innovation, and leadership. He has built and scaled multiple successful companies, including one that grew 60x in three years and was eventually acquired by a Fortune 500 company. Frankie is also deeply involved in helping individuals overcome addiction and personal stagnation. His book Breaking WHY: Hacking and Rebuilding Strategic Emotions for Authentic Success explores the intersection of purpose, passion, and business strategy. He is the host of The School of Weird podcast, where he dives into the power of embracing your uniqueness.About the Episode:In this episode of GrowthReady, Frankie Russo breaks down what it truly means to be "growth ready", and it's not what most people think. He shares insights on how failure, rather than success, is the real foundation of growth and why stagnation is a greater threat than failure itself. Frankie discusses the "stagnation spiral," the importance of identifying problems honestly, and why embracing your "weird" is the key to unlocking limitless growth.Throughout the conversation, Frankie and the host explore how businesses and individuals can break free from outdated models, reframe their approach to success, and consistently evolve. They also discuss the balance between personal and professional growth, and how self-honesty and emotional awareness play a crucial role in long-term success.Key Takeaways:Growth comes from failure, not from success. The biggest mistake people make is fearing failure instead of learning from it.Stagnation isn't just a business problem - it's a human problem. It sneaks up when we get too comfortable with the way things have always been done.There are five key villains in the stagnation spiral: denial, status quo, silos/isolation, rigid beliefs, and disengagement. Recognizing these in yourself or your business is the first step to breaking free.Many businesses double down on old strategies when growth slows, leading to burnout and disengagement. True growth requires embracing change and being willing to break the old model.Awards and recognition feel good, but they don't teach anything. Real lessons come from adversity and challenges.Your unique, "weird" qualities hold the key to your best work. Embracing your weird creates a culture of innovation and creativity.Growth starts with brutal honesty—about your business, your habits, and your mindset. The best way to spot denial is to ask yourself, "What have people been telling me that I've been ignoring?"Trying to change things outside of your control leads to frustration and burnout. Instead, focus on what you can change—often, that starts with yourself.Chasing success and growth as an end goal is flawed. Instead, commit to the process of continuous evolution and problem-solving.

Japan was once on track to become the world's largest economy, but after decades of stagnation, that future never came. From the post-war boom to the Plaza Accord, risk-averse business culture, and an aging population, Japan's rise and plateau have fascinated economists for years. Yet, despite its economic slowdown, the country still enjoys high job security, low inflation, affordable housing, and a high quality of life. But can any country remain stagnant forever without serious consequences? Or has Japan found a way to defy economic expectations? Let's dive into the paradox of Japan's economy and what it means for the future. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
