Midlife doesn't ruin men.Avoidance does.In this episode of the ALLSMITH Podcast, Bryce Smith sits down with Greg Scheinman for a raw, grounded, and unapologetic conversation about ownership, responsibility, and what really happens when the stories you have been telling yourself stop working.This is not a conversation about blaming systems, circumstances, or childhood forever.It is about the moment in life where the mirror gets honest.Greg and Bryce explore why midlife is not a crisis but a reckoning.Why comfort has quietly replaced courage for so many modern men.And why taking radical ownership of your health, your energy, your relationships, and your direction may be the most important decision of your life.They talk masculinity without cosplay.Discipline without shame.Strength without ego.And growth without burning your life to the ground.If you feel successful on paper but restless in your body.If you sense you are drifting instead of choosing.If you know deep down that excuses are costing you more than effort ever will.This episode is for you.The forge is hot.And ownership is the entry point.⸻WHAT WE EXPLORE IN THIS EPISODE• Why midlife exposes the truth about how you have been living• The difference between accountability and self punishment• How comfort slowly erodes strength, presence, and leadership• Why most men are exhausted but not actually empty• Health as a responsibility, not an aesthetic• Masculinity beyond anger, dominance, or collapse• Brotherhood, isolation, and the cost of doing life alone• Why waiting for motivation keeps men stuck• Redefining success beyond money and optics• How ownership unlocks energy, clarity, and freedom⸻STANDOUT QUOTES“You do not wake up lost. You drift there quietly.”“Midlife does not demand perfection. It demands honesty.”“Comfort is not neutral. It is either serving you or slowly stealing from you.”“Most men do not need a new life. They need to stop avoiding the one they are in.”“Ownership is not about blame. It is about power.”“You cannot build a strong future while protecting weak stories.”“Discipline is not punishment. It is self respect in motion.”“Your body tells the truth long before your words do.”“The middle of life is not the end. It is the forge.”⸻KEY TAKEAWAYSOwnership is freedomBlame keeps you stuck. Ownership gives you options, energy, and direction.Midlife is feedbackYour health, relationships, and fulfillment are reporting back on how you have lived.Comfort is costlyShort term ease often trades away long term vitality and presence.Strength is a responsibilityNot for ego. Not for image. For leadership, longevity, and service.You cannot outsource meaningNo amount of success compensates for disconnection from self.Brotherhood mattersIsolation accelerates decline. Honest connection builds resilience.⸻WHO THIS EPISODE IS FORMen who feel restless but cannot name whyMen who are successful but disconnectedMen ready to stop negotiating with excusesMen who want strength without toxicityMen who want ownership without shame⸻Greg Scheinman on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/gregscheinmanForged Not found.Thank you for Listening!

In the second part of his interview with journalist Nick Witchell, Steve and Nick delve into the world of AI and cyber. Steve shares his thoughts on autonomous cyber defense and argues that major actors like the ISF, large private enterprises, and the UK's National Cyber Security Centre, must lead the way and support small and medium-sized businesses in keeping pace with technological advancements. The two also discuss the future of AI, cautioning that we aren't as prepared as we need to be… Key Takeaways: Small and medium-sized businesses must receive support to stay up-to-date with new technologies. As more automation is introduced into business operations, understanding of one's crown jewels and how to protect them is increasingly important. AI is advancing rapidly with evermore funding, and globally society is not preparing as well as it needs to for what's to come. Tune in to hear more about: Steve's view on autonomous cyber defense (00:55) The National Cyber Security Centre and its role in the cyber resilience of UK businesses (3:36) How AI will impact jobs in cyber (7:55) Standout Quotes: “You'll never get me going into an autonomous car. I just won't do it. And people will say, ‘Yes, they're being looked after by some bloke in a tower somewhere who's watching it.” I'm not buying it. I've been working in technology for far too long to know that it is fallible. And so I think we have to really move toward much more transparency in our understanding of where the AI tool is active, the data that it's using, the decisions it's making.” - Steve Durbin “We are looking for large private enterprise to be working collaboratively with people like the NCSC, with people like the ISF, to really help some of these smaller organizations that don't have the luxury or resources available to them to keep a pace with [technology].” - Steve Durbin “If you go back to the internet, we didn't do a good enough job of trying to forecast the way in which the internet was going to be used. We put it out there and we said, ‘Let everybody use it and let's see where it goes.” We are doing, I fear, a similar kind of thing with AI.” - Steve Durbin Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Financial due diligence is common practice when companies merge or one business acquires another. Cyber security due diligence, however, is not quite as common. Yet, in a world where the threat landscape changes by the day and risk is growing increasingly complex, solid cyber security practices are more important than ever. Today, Steve and Tavia dig into this very topic, and, more specifically, what role cyber security has in a merger or an acquisition. How is a cyber security review done? Why are they important? How do we balance speed with thoroughness? How do we interpret the results? There's a lot to dig into here. Key Takeaways: Cyber due diligence is paramount in a corporate acquisition or merger. Risks of not doing cyber due diligence include both financial and reputational. Cyber due diligence is a team game. Tune in to hear more about: Who should be responsible for conducting the cyber review (4:34) How organizations can build cyber into their due diligence process (14:05) Examples of where insufficient cyber due diligence proved costly (19:05) Standout Quotes: “You can't play a team sport without a team. And for me, M&A is a team game. You can't go it alone. I think it would be a mistake for somebody to think that they could do this kind of work solo. Because as we've seen with cyber maturing, it now touches so many different parts of the organization. You do need to be involved.” - Steve Durbin “I think people are getting it. What I'm seeing now is people get it, but they don't know how to do it. That's where the cyber professional really now has to step up.” - Steve Durbin “Pre-deal, I think it is about being focused. It's about identifying, prioritizing the high risk areas that are out there that you want to look into. It's about doing things like making sure that the governance is there. It's about scanning for some of the known vulnerabilities. If you are in one particular market sector and you're buying a company in another because of expansion growth, you're going to need to be covering off a whole range of different things that perhaps might be unusual for you because you haven't been having to look into those areas.” - Steve Durbin Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Many MedTech companies focus heavily on FDA clearance but overlook a critical layer of U.S. market entry: state-level compliance. In this episode, Etienne Nichols speaks with Adam Steadman, CEO of MDD Options, to unpack the real-world challenges that derail commercialization after regulatory approval. From navigating state-specific registration, sales tax laws, and distribution logistics to choosing between direct and distributor-based strategies, Adam shares hard-earned insights for avoiding the "second valley of death" post-clearance. Whether you're a domestic startup or an international company entering the U.S., this episode arms you with a tactical understanding of compliance landmines and scalable go-to-market strategies.Key Timestamps00:02 – Intro: The real MedTech “valley of death” after FDA clearance04:45 – Why U.S. state-level registration is misunderstood and overlooked08:15 – State-level definitions of medical devices and why they differ11:20 – Strategic go-to-market options: Distribution vs. Direct17:00 – How regulations vary drastically by state (CA, TX, etc.)21:50 – The real risks of noncompliance: lawsuits, bad PR, and due diligence failures26:15 – Why distribution agreements can stall your growth (and how to avoid it)34:30 – Sales tax & use tax: The hidden compliance trap39:10 – Logistics, warehousing, and long-term liabilities in contracts44:55 – Overlooked pitfalls: Secretary of State filings and income tax in 36+ states51:15 – Software as a Medical Device (SaMD): U.S. compliance still applies55:30 – Selling to the U.S. government vs. private sector buyers59:20 – Veterinary devices and why they still need regulatory controls1:03:10 – What a winning go-to-market strategy actually looks like1:10:25 – Adam's final advice to MedTech startups (foreign and domestic)Standout Quotes"You're not entering one country—you're entering 50 states and D.C. Each with its own rules, definitions, and tax laws."—Adam Steadman explains why U.S. MedTech entry requires a state-by-state strategy, especially for international companies."None of the strategics want your warehouse management system—they want your product, your sales, and your proof of market fit."—Steadman on why building non-core infrastructure slows down commercialization and valuation.Top 5 TakeawaysFDA Clearance ≠ Market Readiness – State-level registrations, sales tax laws, and pharmacy board definitions often delay or block commercialization.Distribution Isn't Always a Shortcut – National distributors may have misaligned incentives and can lock you into exclusivity that hinders growth.Sales Tax is a Regulatory Minefield – 46 states require separate sales tax registration, exemptions tracking, and monthly filings—even if you're tax-exempt.Beware of Long-Term Contracts – Logistics and distribution contracts often lock companies into rigid terms that prevent pivots or acquisitions.Speed to Market Is Strategic – Getting to market fast is often the difference between becoming #1 or #3—and #3 often gets nothing.MedTech 101What Is “Nexus” and Why It Matters for Sales Tax?“Nexus” refers to the minimum level of economic activity that triggers tax obligations in a given state. For example, selling $100,000 of devices or 200 transactions may establish nexus, requiring you to register for sales tax. Unlike VAT in Europe, U.S. sales tax laws are state-specific, making this a major compliance hurdle for MedTech companies.References & Resources

Are you tired of feeling stuck, controlled by negative emotions and self-doubt? Dr. David Snyder challenges the idea that willpower alone drives change. He explains how the body and mind constantly communicate—and how shifting your physiology can instantly change your mental state. Through breathing, posture, and focus, you can break negative cycles and tap into more empowering emotions. It's not about fighting your nervous system; it's about learning to use it. Real transformation, he says, can begin with something as simple as how you stand or breathe.Standout Quotes:• “You are not the way you are because of the things that happened to you. You are the way you are because of the way you recorded the things that happened to you.” – Dr. David Snyder• “Your physiology controls your psychology. The first thing you should do, before anything else, is to control your posture.” – Dr. David Snyder• “Anything outside of your awareness is outside of your control. Just because you're not aware of it doesn't mean it isn't controlling or influencing it.” – Dr. David Snyder• “Your nervous system is one of the most pathologically driven question answering mechanisms on the planet. It must, beyond all reason, seek to answer any question you give it, no matter how stupid the question is.” – Dr. David Snyder• “You will run out of body parts long before your unconscious mind runs out of ideas for getting your attention.” – Dr. David SnyderKey Takeaways:• Practice the color breathing technique daily, focusing on transforming negative emotional states by visualizing a color representing your desired feeling.• Experiment with power poses for two minutes before challenging situations to boost confidence and shift your physiological state instantly.• Map out your typical negative emotional triggers and design specific posture and breathing patterns to interrupt those automatic responses.• Create a personal "state change" protocol using physical movement, breath work, and mental imagery to reset your emotional landscape quickly.• Record and review your emotional patterns, identifying how your body responds to different psychological states and learning to interrupt unproductive cycles.Episode Timeline:[00:26] How influence actually works in real time[02:33] Language tricks that mess with your memory[06:10] What your body posture says to your brain[08:28] Why bad moods stick and how to flip them[18:16] Shift your emotions by moving your body[24:42] Willpower works better with the right stance[33:55] Play more seriously if you want real change[45:39] Your brain edits memories more than you think[55:28] Turn pictures in your head into real feelings[59:44] Make this stick by using it every single dayTo learn more about Dr. David Snyder and everything about NLP, visit:Website: https://www.nlppower.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DavidSnyderNLPInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidsnydernlp

Choose a skill, practice it with three different people, and ensure you're both the subject and operator to embed the technique deeply into your muscle memory.• Start your esoteric skill development with Franz Barden's "Initiation to Hermetics".

Today, Steve is speaking with Rear Admiral Brian Luther. After more than 30 years in the US Navy and at the Pentagon, Brian is now president and CEO of the insurance firm Navy Mutual. Brian talks about what he learned about leadership in his time commanding an aircraft carrier in the Navy and how he has translated his skills into working in the private sector. He and Steve also discuss how leaders can move from a tactical mindset into a logistical one, and prepare your team for worst case scenarios. Key Takeaways: There might be differences between generations or people of different cultures, but fundamentally most people want the same things, and basic respect goes a long way. As a leader, don't get bogged down in tactics. Remember to think about the logistics, so there is a plan B if something goes awry. Technology can be an immensely useful tool, but don't get overly dependent on it. Tune in to hear more about: The three stages of leadership (7:46) Conducting business in volatile regions (12:28) How a tabletop drill can reveal important weaknesses in your organization's crisis response (18:48) Standout Quotes: “You have to very clearly articulate to the people what you want done. And if it's very specific, you say, ‘I want this done,' and if it's generic, you say, ‘I want this outcome,' right? You can't say I want a general outcome when you have something specific in mind, because they're going to go off and do it whatever way you want. But if you're very clear, ‘I want this done this way,' or ‘I just want this outcome,' and you decide, delegate, disappear, you'd be amazed at what people can do.” - Brian Luther “If you go there and give them an opportunity to see you as just who you are, and learn them just as they are, you find that there's more in common than people would give credit for. So I would always say, before you go internationally, take some time to learn where you're going and respect the culture that you're going to be operating in.” - Brian Luther “There are tremendous benefits associated with technology, but any strength pushed too far is a weakness [...]. Don't be overreliant on something, and you put all your eggs in that one basket and you lose it, and then you don't have a second or a third option. You should be asking yourself, ‘What if I lose this, what if they figure out a way to foil that?' Because, remember, we put something out there, and in a strategic competition, there's move-countermove all the time. […] So use it as a tool, but don't be totally dependent on it that if someone takes that tool away from you, your whole organization collapses.” - Brian Luther Mentioned in this episode: Dear InfoSec Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Are you tired of feeling stuck by limiting beliefs and lack of motivation? Dr. David Snyder offers a powerful system to reprogram your subconscious mind, unlocking your true potential for success, health, and happiness. In this webinar, he shares his decades of expertise in personal transformation, martial arts, and energy healing, revealing principles of state control and pattern recognition to create lasting change. Through interactive exercises, you'll learn to cultivate positive emotional states, banish fear, and develop a strong sense of identity. Are you ready to break free from your limitations and step into the life you've always dreamed of? Standout Quotes: “You can make your life exactly what you want it to be. You can push away anything that gets in your way.” – Dr. David Snyder “Safety rules are arbitrary decisions made by the unconscious mind about what you're allowed to have, what you're allowed to do, what you're not allowed to have, and what you're not allowed to do.” – Dr. David Snyder “The ability to influence and persuade—to communicate with people in such a way that they eagerly want to do what you want them to do—is the most important skill any human being needs. In a society where getting ahead and moving forward relies on ethically and honestly motivating people to want to do what you want them to do, it's essential that they also like you for it.” – Dr. David Snyder “You don't have to believe any of this for it to work for you. You just have to do the drills. If you do the drills, the magic literally happens, and you just keep doing it until you're exactly where you want to be.” – Dr. David Snyder Key Takeaways: Identify and remove the "safety rules" that are holding you back from achieving your goals.

Standout Quotes: • “You can be, do, or have anything you want in this life, but first, you have to become the person to whom that can happen.” – Dr. David Snyder • “Everything human beings do is in response to feeling. But everything we do also involves some form of alteration to our current state of consciousness.” – Dr. David Snyder • “Fragmentation of consciousness is really only useful when you want to create chaos in someone's mind, leading to confusion, which in turn creates a state of hyper-suggestibility.” – Dr. David Snyder • “You can be the nicest person in the world, but if nobody sees you or notices your actions, you're not visible, and they're going to forget about you.'” – Dr. David Snyder • “Each time you come into a life, you have a different set of lessons. The idea that you can be enlightened in one life and not in another isn't accurate.'” – Dr. David Snyder Key Takeaways: • Identify the person you need to become in order to achieve your desired outcomes and start taking steps to develop those necessary traits and characteristics. • Experiment with techniques like magic frame, spinning, and color breathing to help dissolve limiting beliefs and amplify the qualities that will allow you to manifest your goals. • Practice maximizing your absorption and focus when attempting to access flow states, rather than evaluating or judging the experience. • Surround yourself with people you're attracted to, but focus first on building genuine friendships and rapport, rather than romantic pursuits.

Standout Quotes: “You should know where every account is, which custodian it is with, which bank you're banking with, what the retirement plans look like, and all that stuff.” “In divorce, you're never going to have the same lifestyle; it's always going to be different.” “The whole purpose of having alimony and us fighting for it is to give you that bridge to get to the other side and into your new life.” “The last thing you want to do is have to call little Johnny and little Susie and tell them that you're going to be living on their couch at the age of 85.” Key Takeaways: Take inventory of all your financial accounts, assets, and debts. Make sure you know where everything is and have access to all relevant information.

You are the way you are because of the way you recorded the things that happened to you.” – Dr. David Snyder “If you can point to where you feel it, you can change it.” – Dr. David Snyder “You are not broken, there is nothing wrong with you. The feelings in your body, the stuff that keeps coming up does not mean you're broken.” – Dr. David Snyder “You are the God or Goddess of your reality. You are the king or queen of your universe. And you have absolutely every right and privilege and authority to make any change that you want.” – Dr. David Snyder “Everything you experience is a product of a code that your nervous system wrote and is running?

Will you go for it?” – Dr. David Snyder Key Takeaways: Practice the "frame game" technique daily to rapidly evolve your emotions, thoughts, and destiny through self-directed neuroplasticity. Use somatic techniques like pointing to feelings in your body and reframing pictures to methodically resolve issues, allowing deeper layers of related problems to surface for transformation. Ask yourself "What is the root cause behind this chronic issue in my life?" and seek to address psycho-emotional sources through techniques like regression, rather than just treating surface symptoms. Nurture your inner child daily with self-love, acceptance and empowering beliefs so that you can overcome limitations and break through to your full potential.

(11:06) "When I started investing in myself— even before I paid the money— I really had to take a step back and ask myself: How am I going to utilize this information? How is it going to be implemented in my business from the information of the value that was articulated about the program or service? How will I implement it in my business? I will also ask myself: Do I have access to this information already?" (13:43) "Take a step back; does your bank account, schedule, and lifestyle reflect the business owner? Because what I find is that a lot of therapists are W9, sole proprietor, entrepreneur, boss babes. They are not business owners. Because a true business owner is daily trying to figure out how they can work less."

Standout Quotes: * "You only are going to be on this earth one time, you really are not coming back again after the first time; let's make the most of it" - [Chris] * "Everything that you were mad at your parents for when you were a kid, is everything you respect them for when you're an adult" - [Chris] * "Money never mattered to my dad, being content and serving others did" - [Chris] * "I think it's a very special thing in life to really want to be good at something" - [Chris] * "If you're a parent and you actually can't give your kids the things they want, it makes it almost easy; what's tough is when you can give them what they want and you choose not to" - [Chris] * "How can you expect someone that grew up with everything easy and given to them, to ever have that burning desire" - [Chris] * "Kids don't learn by words, they learn by actions, so I can say everything I want to my kids but they're going to be watching what I'm doing" - [Chris] * "You don't keep families together, particularly with the amplification of wealth, if you're not intentionally practicing the values" - [Mike] * "We're living in a really cool generation where I think we're going to be able to tell our stories to our kids like nobody's been ever been able to do it before" - [Chris] * "There's just very few people that matter in this world that you remember because of how much money they had, it's really about what they did… you will be defined by how much people remember you" - [Chris] * "The majority of businesses that do really well hit singles and doubles over and over" * "When's enough enough?... it depends on how big of an impact you want to have" - [Chris] * The first great business decision you're going to make is who you marry" - [Warren Buffet, Chris] * "There's things in life that are either giving us energy or taking away energy" - [Chris] Key Takeaways: * Chris Powers is the Founder and Executive Chairman of Fort Capital. He is also the host of the podcast, "The FORT", as well as a serial entrepreneur with over 16 years of experience in Real Estate Development and Investment Experience. Chris is a first-generation entrepreneur with stories that shaped him down to his relationship with his children. * Chris's dad was a lawyer who valued education, however, after 13 years of being a lawyer, He decided to become a doctor. With two kids and a wife at home, He left law and started medical school at the age of 39 which took place over 8 years with a financial toll on the family. The experience during those years created the foundation for the impression Chris has about money, feeling fortunate to have been more deprived of things than his peers. Chris also learned the importance of doing things in life that give fulfillment. * Because of the experience of not having money over those years, Chris became an entrepreneur at a young age to get the money he needed. However, Chris has a fear that his success allows him to skip the chances to deprive his kids of the things they should be deprived of. * Following the passing of his dad, Chris witnessed a turnout at the funeral and stories that depicted the level of impact people felt while his dad was alive. Although it was a traumatic unexpected event, Chris felt equipped at the time to take the reins in the family because his father had trusted him very early on to do things. This taught Chris that there's a level of transparency that is healthy with children, for them to start learning early on how the family operates. * "If you study people who are extremely successful in life endeavors, there is a common thread among them where they were in a position to really want something while growing up". This has made Chris understand that it is hard but necessary to deprive kids of certain things even when they can be gotten. He is trying to teach his kids not to be overly reliant on his wealth but to forge their path. Additionally, having the nature to treat people very well even from childhood is a good foundation to build on. * Raising great children amidst wealth is a challenge, and the importance of transparency cannot be overemphasised, especially when it comes to treating people well, or other issues affecting family values. This is important to note because kids learn by watching the actions of their parents, hence the teaching values has to be transparently done through actions. This transparency also translates to work, as Chris tries to make his work fun and appealing to his kids rather than intimidating. * Chris has been very intentional about leaving content for his children to learn from, especially in recordings and this is one of the motivations for his podcast, "The FORT". * Currently, Chris is working to create intentional family traditions that build the family experience. The first of these is an annual talk recorded and kept to give the kids later in life. * Starting Fort Capital: While in school, Chris wasn't particularly trying to make a lot of money but came across someone in Real Estate who helped him learn and start Real Estate deals which resulted in his company "Fort Capital". It is a Real Estate private equity company based in Fort Worth Texas. It is focused on buying Class B industrial and multi-tenant properties, functioning as value-add buyers. As time goes by the desire to sell lessens because there have been great liquidity events from sales and holding cash from sales isn't very impactful anymore. This is beneficial especially for newcomers because Real Estate is a great tax tool. * It is easy to get overwhelmed by other companies that seem to be doing immensely well, and be tempted to keep taking high chances. However, the majority of businesses succeed by surviving and growing incrementally. * To be an entrepreneur you need someone supportive even when things aren't so great. Chris recalls how selfless his mum must have been to be supportive of his father's unexpected decision to study medicine. This played a major role in the success of his dad just like his wife plays to get him to where he is today. * Concerning his view on generational wealth, Chris believes the easy route for a lot of folks with money is to let their kids assume that it's all going to be theirs, as soon as they believe it, whether it's true or not it can alter their lives. He is yet to decide on what he will leave for his kids but currently focuses on shaping their mindset on money. "I want my kids to have something but I want them to earn it and I don't want them to live a life dependent on it; not because I think it would be bad for them to have money but I think it would rob them the joy of living a fulfilled life" * From Chris to his kids: The way they will be judged when they leave earth is by the impact they've had on others. For them to live a fulfilled life, they need to think each day, "if it was all over tomorrow, what did I leave the world"? An exercise for listeners concerning this is "If you were at your 80th birthday party, write down what you would expect people you care about to say to you". You've got one shot, make it count.

Tune in with Maria Romano's new episode of True Love Knots, as she shares the things you should know when closing a wedding ceremony.

"What the ceremony is going to run so smooth, and you're going to feel so good. And everybody's going to be so charged with love because you started the ceremony." Key Takeaways: The closing remarks are just as important as the opening remarks. Remind the guests about the announcement they need to hear before pronouncing the couple. Always acknowledge the presence of the guests, even if the guests attend virtually.

Joining this episode of the True Love Knots is the most sought out wedding officiant, Maria Romano. Maria Romano is the founder of True Love Knots, a program she created specifically to help those looking for love later in life. Today, Maria underlines the significance of not having preconceived notions about someone you're dating before getting to know them. Standout Quotes: “You are on your 50s 60s and 70s and beyond and you're back in the dating world and it's different, it's definitely a little different than it was many years ago. And especially if you were in a long-term relationship, and now to be thrust into the dating world.” [Maria] “Sometimes we assume something about somebody, and we don't give them a chance. Don't always assume, give somebody at least an hour and a half of your time. And the three-date rule at least three dates.” [Maria] Key Takeaways: Just because someone isn't traveling at this time in their life doesn't imply they won't later or that you can't have a connection with someone and travel when necessary. When we make assumptions, this is what happens. And what we're doing is shortchanging ourselves; you're shortchanging yourself, not anyone else, by not giving that person the opportunity to see if they're compatible. Certain habits are unchangeable. Maria is not a fan of smokers. That's just something she cares about, and it's one of her core principles. Many of her customers share this sentiment, as well as the desire to eat healthily. It's also vital to eat healthily, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy yourself during the holidays. You'll be shocked to learn that if you give someone a second or third chance to get to know them, and they get to know you, you could end up in a long-term relationship.
