Podcasts about Stimulus

Honey, I shrunk the stimulus! In their third entry on the Great Recession, the Shuffle Bois trace President Obama's response to a cratering economy. After introducing the cast of neolib ghouls with whom Obama surrounded himself, they go through the history of Fall and Winter 2008/9 up to Obama's signing of the stimulus package. They also discuss Keynesianism, the Cassandras of the time, what might have been, and the Clintonite presidency that we actually got.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. You can love Jesus, believe the calling is real, and still whisper, “I'm just tired.” That's the moment we're naming and confronting: the middle stretch where the vision hasn't changed, but your energy has. Using Acts 20:22–24, we look at Paul walking straight toward hardship with a settled heart, determined to finish his race with joy and to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. From there, we get painfully practical. We talk about endurance you can actually live out, starting with the everyday picture of a mother who keeps loving through rebellion and disappointment, and the kind of patience it takes to serve people when you're not getting instant reward. We also unpack why many people don't walk away from God in a dramatic moment, they drift slowly from spiritual exhaustion, emotional fatigue, and the weight of routine. We name the real costs of discipleship and Christian leadership: giving up control, comfort, preferences, your sense of timing, and the approval of others. Then we sit with Jesus' words in Luke 9:23 and the often-forgotten word “daily,” defining endurance as sustained obedience without emotional reinforcement, faithfulness when outcomes are delayed, and continuing when clarity fades but the calling remains. We close with four practices you can start now, plus a hopeful picture of God weaving even the dark threads of your story into something beautiful over time. If you're in a waiting season, fighting burnout, or trying to stay faithful to your calling, press play and come back to these anchors.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. Waiting for a giant, dramatic calling can feel spiritual, but it can also keep us passive. We sit on our hands, hoping for a microphone, a title, or a once-in-a-lifetime assignment while the holiest work of our lives is already happening at the dinner table, in a marriage, on a job site, in a classroom, or in a simple conversation with a friend who is barely holding on. We explore a different way to think about calling: commission as recognition, the Spirit opening our eyes to what God has already entrusted to us. We ground that shift in Scripture and in a deeply practical theology of everyday discipleship. Colossians tells us that whatever we do can be done in the name of Jesus and unto the Lord, which breaks the false line between sacred and secular. If we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, then God's presence moves with us. That means workplace ministry is real, parenting is kingdom stewardship, friendship can carry healing, and marriage can become a visible testimony of grace through forgiveness and sacrificial love. We also talk about why heaven values faithfulness more than fame, and why ordinary obedience often becomes the loudest sermon. Near the end, we ask pointed questions that make this personal: where has God already entrusted you with influence, what “ordinary” assignment have you underestimated, and what could change if you lived like God can show up at any moment.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. Chains, tribulation, uncertainty, and still Paul says yes. We start with Acts 20 and sit with a question that refuses to stay theoretical: what do we do when following Jesus costs us comfort, control, and a carefully protected life? We're talking about kingdom vision, not as a slogan, but as a way of seeing that changes what we ask for, what we pray for, and what we're willing to endure.We use a simple camera zoom image to expose a common pattern: living zoomed in on preference, safety, and personal fulfilment. That mindset easily turns church into a consumer choice and faith into comfort maintenance. When we stay self-focused, our prayers get smaller, our risk tolerance disappears, and our impact fades. Kingdom vision does the opposite. It pushes us to zoom out, to ask what God wants to do through our lives, and to recognise that Scripture constantly ties one surrendered “yes” to the wellbeing of others, from Abraham and Moses to Esther and Paul.Then we bring it all down to street level with practical discipleship: integrity at work, excellence when nobody requires it, serving with intention, and leading at home with honesty and courage. We talk about how spiritual leadership is happening either way and why ordinary obedience repeated over time can echo for generations. If you've felt the nagging thought “there has to be more than survival,” this is your invitation to see the bigger picture.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. Chains and tribulations were waiting for Paul and he still moved forward, not because he loved suffering, but because he refused to live small. That moment in Acts 20 sets up a challenging idea: many of us are not held back by failure, we are held back by comfort. We talk about what it means to “zoom out” and see our lives the way God sees them, with purpose, mission, and a long horizon that stretches beyond our own preferences.We use a simple camera metaphor to get practical about Christian discipleship and spiritual formation. When we live zoomed in, church turns into a consumer choice, prayers shrink to personal maintenance, and faith becomes a tool for convenience. Kingdom vision asks better questions: What does God want through my life? Who is waiting on my yes? What kind of life is actually worth giving my life to? Along the way, we name the fear-driven culture of self-protection and contrast it with the bigger biblical story of Abram, Moses, Esther, and Paul, where obedience creates ripple effects that outlive the moment.This also gets specific about daily leadership: choosing excellence when culture normalises minimum standards, thinking in terms of legacy and multiplication, and treating time, money, relationships, and service as resources for the kingdom of God. We end close to home with spiritual leadership in the family and the power of ordinary obedience repeated over time.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. “Chains and tribulations await me, but none of these things move me.” Paul's line in Acts 20 is a gut check for anyone trying to follow Jesus with real endurance. We take that same courage and bring it into everyday Christian leadership: not the kind that talks about vision, but the kind that moves with it. Because a bleedable vision is never just a motivational idea. It's a calling that changes your calendar, your priorities, your relationships, and the way you make decisions.We wrestle with a phrase that sounds harmless but can hide a deeper problem: “I'm waiting on God.” Sometimes we're not waiting at all. We're resisting movement. We talk about why obedience opens doors and why stagnation quietly drains purpose. We name the real blockers that keep people stuck: waiting for certainty, overthinking every detail, fear of failure, and fear of stepping outside comfort zones. Then we offer a better definition of failure that keeps you moving: failure is quitting, not trying and learning along the way.The turning point is Acts 8 and the story of Philip on the desert road. God doesn't hand him a full blueprint. He simply says “Go,” and Philip discovers the assignment while he's moving, right down to God providing water in the desert for baptism. We end with a challenge and a prayer: be available, because someone else's breakthrough may be connected to your yes.If this encouraged you, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who feels stuck, and leave a review so more people can find it.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. Your life might already be the calling you keep asking God to reveal. We build this message around “recognition” and “commission” not as a launch into something flashy, but as a clear-eyed realization that God has already placed influence in your hands through relationships, responsibilities, and everyday opportunities. Drawing from Acts 20, we talk about finishing our race with joy, even when obedience costs something, and why “none of these things move me” is a mindset worth chasing. From there we get painfully practical: Colossians 3:17 and 3:23 give us a simple rhythm for Christian living, whatever you do, do it in the name of Jesus and do it wholeheartedly unto God. That turns workplace ministry, family life, and hidden service into real kingdom work. We push back on the church myth that only pastors, missionaries, or platform people are “called,” and we ask the better question: not “Do I have influence?” but “How am I stewarding it?” We talk about parenting as discipleship, marriage as ministry, and friendship as stewardship of grace, including a moving story from driving a city school bus that shows how deeply kids recognize love and respond to steady care. We also hold the tension between global mission and local faithfulness, because the mission of God is both. If you're ready to stop waiting for a “big calling” and start treating ordinary faithfulness as holy, listen through to the commissioning invitation.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. Chains, uncertainty, and pressure are guaranteed in life, so the real question is what keeps you moving when the cost gets real. We sit with Acts 20:22–24 and Paul's fierce clarity: he walks forward knowing suffering awaits, yet he's determined to finish his race with joy. That kind of joy is not hype and it is not denial. It is what happens when the gospel of the grace of God becomes more precious than our own comfort, control, or safety.From there, we get painfully practical about vision and calling. I share my own pattern of getting excited about “new and doable” ideas, then watching motivation fizzle out, and why that reveals the difference between personal preference and true conviction. Then Malawi puts a face on the word “need.” Clean water wells stop being an abstract project and become a daily line of buckets, a village searching for water, and a ministry we cannot casually walk away from. Love does that. It makes the mission stick.That's where the phrase “a bleedable vision” comes in: a God formed burden you refuse to stop, even when it costs time, predictability, approval, and comfort. We connect that to long haul ministry like Celebrate Recovery, where endurance is proven in staying when it is hard, unclear, and unrewarded. We close with questions you can use to test what drives your decisions and a simple prayer for surrender.If this challenges you, share it with a friend who feels stuck, then subscribe and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. The most dangerous place for your faith isn't the beginning, and it isn't the big crisis moment. It's the middle, when you're still doing the right things but you feel tired, unseen, and unsure it matters. We talk straight about burnout, drifting from exhaustion, and the quiet way a God given vision can erode when nothing seems to be happening.We connect Paul's words about finishing the race to real life endurance: sustained obedience without emotional reinforcement, faithfulness when outcomes are delayed, and continuing when clarity fades but the calling remains. Along the way, we name what following Jesus actually costs us: control, comfort, timing, and approval. We also dig into Jesus' command to take up the cross daily and why “daily” changes everything for discipleship, purpose, and spiritual maturity.Then we get practical. We break down the three pressures that crush perseverance: internal fatigue, external resistance (including distractions that look like good opportunities), and invisible delay. We also share four ways to endure: reduce the vision to daily faithfulness, re anchor in calling rather than feelings, build sustainable rhythms of renewal through prayer, Scripture, community and rest, and refuse to interpret God's delay as denial. If you're questioning your calling because the fruit is slow, this will re steady your heart.If this encouraged you, subscribe so you don't miss what's next, share it with a friend who's in the middle, and leave a review to help more people find the show.Support the showwww.Turning180.com

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. Chains and tribulations are not the kind of forecast most of us want, yet Paul walks straight toward Jerusalem with a clear aim: finish the race with joy and stay faithful to the ministry Jesus gives. We sit with Acts 20:22–24 and ask what it looks like to “lead your life” as a disciple who takes responsibility for direction, choices, and endurance instead of drifting with fear, comfort, distraction, or culture.From there, we get painfully practical: vision must move. We talk about the difference between saying we are “waiting on God” and actually resisting change, and we name the quiet killer that can look spiritual on the outside: stagnation. You will hear the line that keeps echoing through the message, “Obedience opens doors, stagnation never will,” along with a challenge to stop demanding a full blueprint before taking a faithful step. Courage is not the absence of fear; courage is movement despite uncertainty, so sometimes the most honest next step is simple: do it afraid.A story about learning to drive brings the point home: you cannot steer a parked car, and you cannot steer a parked calling. Then Acts 8 turns into a case study in active faith as Philip obeys God's small direction down a desert road and discovers the real assignment while he is moving. We close by widening the lens to mission, outreach, and serving, because people matter to God and our yes can ripple further than we will ever see.If this challenged you, subscribe, share this with a friend who feels stuck, and leave a review.

The Space Between Stimulus and Response

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. A vision can feel inspiring right up until it asks something from you. We start with Paul in Acts 20:22–24, heading toward Jerusalem with no promises of comfort, only a steady warning of chains and tribulation and still he says, “none of these things move me”, because he wants to finish his race with joy. That tension sets the stage for a deeper question: how do we follow Jesus with endurance when the path is costly and unclear?We tell a real story of how abstract problems become personal when you see faces and names. Malawi is no longer “needs somewhere overseas” but people we've eaten with, prayed with, and grown to love. One well becomes a lifeline for thousands, and then the request comes for a second well, forcing an honest confession: we can't easily say yes with limited resources and we also can't say no. That is where purpose and mission stop being theory and start reshaping priorities, giving, and leadership.From there we define what we call a “bleedable vision” and we draw a hard line between preference and conviction. Preference fades when it gets inconvenient; a surrendered calling stays when it gets resisted, when it costs more than expected, and when nobody claps. We share the long-haul cost of ministry through Celebrate Recovery and ask the questions that matter: What drives your decisions? What have you walked away from too easily? What matters to God that needs to matter to you?If you're hungry for Christian purpose, discipleship, leadership, and a faith that holds under pressure, press play.

The Practice of Finding Space Between Stimulus and Response

You know that moment when you completely overreact to something small — and even as it's happening, part of you is watching and thinking, why am I like this?That reaction has a name. And understanding it changes everything about how you see yourself under pressure.There's one thing that has to happen before you can change a stress response - and most people skip it entirely. This week's Hi-Cap Move gives you a practice that creates a gap between the trigger and your response - so you stop being hijacked by a reaction you didn't choose and start building the awareness that makes change actually possible.-->>> Register for The Capacity Audit free live workshop June 3rd 

In this episode of ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis⁠, I explore a question that has been lingering in my mind for months: What do the pillars in tarot actually symbolize on a deeper psychological level?Using Viktor Frankl's famous quote - “Between stimulus and response there is a space…,” I reflect on how the pillars in cards like the High Priestess, Justice, the Hierophant, and even the Moon might represent more than just duality or balance. I explore the possibility that these pillars symbolize psychological thresholds or liminal spaces where uncertainty, intuition, morality, projection, fear, and meaning live.I dive into the symbolism of the flowing/airy tapestry behind the High Priestess and contrast it with the heavy, obscuring curtain behind Justice, exploring how these archetypes reflect the tension between flexibility and rigidity. Through a Jungian, somatic, and trauma-informed lens, I discuss how the body often senses something before the mind can, and before the brain can organize it into language, as well as how our desire for certainty can sometimes become a defense mechanism against our discomfort with ambiguity.From there, I turn toward the Hierophant and explore the psychological impact of inherited systems rooted in religion, morality, culture, authority, and collective meaning-making. I reflect on what happens when external structures override internal knowing, and why the space between the pillars matters so much when it comes to identity, autonomy, and self-trust.I also explain why I believe the Moon belongs in this conversation, despite its “pillars” technically being towers. For me, The Moon represents what happens behind the pillars: the unconscious terrain we enter when certainty becomes hazy and we are forced to navigate ambiguity without reassurance.Toward the end of the episode, I create a brand new three card tarot spread inspired by Frankl's quote.Pulling the Magician, Six of Pentacles, and Three of Wands, I explore themes of hyper-independence, receiving support, and what becomes possible when we stop trying to survive entirely on our own.This episode is part tarot symbolism analysis, part Jungian and therapeutic exploration, and part philosophical reflection on what exists in the space between instinct and action.Want more of this type of tarot experience?Join us at the Summer Solstice Summit - a three day, virtual tarot conference June 26-28.

The phone calls could be harsh. Daniel Freedman talked to a lot of shop owners. They told him anthologies didn't sell. He explained that Stimulus was not an anthology; it was a short story collection. They continued to express cynicism. He went ahead and assembled an astonishing array of stories, galloping through numerous tones and showcasing an awesome stable of collaborators. Stimulus flaunts the heights that this medium can soar, and obliterates house style tastes. It's on those LCS shelves now. Here's your chance to prove the glass-half-empty folks that audiences crave structures free from corporate designs. The comics in Stimulus should have your mouth watering. They're science fiction and fantasy slanted idea outburts illustrated by - hold your breath - Robert Sammelin (Kali), Tomm Coker (Black Monday Murders), Filya Bratukhin(Nature's Labyrinth), Amilcar Pina (Galactic), Dilraj Mann (Dalstron Monsterzz), Lorenzo Nuti (Dragonero/Conan), Arianna Farricella (College Apocalypse), Gavin Dias (PENTHOUSE Comics), Debbie Tsoi (Split Fiction), Stefano Realdini (Captain Gaia), Dan Morison (HELL-BENT), and Henrik Sahlstrom (Mirror's Edge: Exordium). This week, we had a blast chatting with Daniel Freedman about Stimulus. The short story collection spans more than ten years of his life, and each tale explores Freedman working himself out as well as the world he finds himself trapped in. We discuss the autobiographic nature of all storytelling, the power of a short story collection, and why comics allow him to create where other mediums do not. And before all that, our kid on the beat cub reporter, Brad, regales Lisa with his journey to the Lower East Side and the Jack Kirby Way street-naming ceremony on May 11th. He discusses what and who he saw on Essex Street and even offers audio recordings of Jack Kirby Way presenters Roy Schwartz, NYC Council Member Christopher Marte, Tom Brevoort, Paul Levitz, and Jim Steranko. The King of Comics finally getting his name on an NYC street is a historic moment. Let's all celebrate as comic book readers. Stimulus is out now in trade paperback from Dark Horse Comics.

One concept. That's all we're covering today. And if you only took one thing from 260-plus episodes of this show... it might be this.Viktor Frankl survived the Holocaust and came out the other side with an idea that Jon and Will think about almost every day. Between what happens to you and how you respond, there's a gap. A space. And inside that space is where every good decision you've ever made actually lives.Most of us blow right past it. Something happens, we react. Email comes in, we fire back. Kid does something, we snap. No space in between.In this episode we break down why the gap exists, why nobody taught you how to use it, and four ways to start building it this week. No fluff. No theory you can't use. Just one concept you can try before your next meeting, your next hard conversation, or your next encounter with slow internet.This is the foundation of the Awareness to Action (A2A) course we've been building.

Host Erin Kerry Erin sits down with Shanna Pearson, founder of the world's largest ADHD coaching company, to unpack the hidden reality of ADHD in women—especially those who have gone undiagnosed for decades. They explore how ADHD often presents differently in women, why it's frequently misdiagnosed as anxiety or depression, and how hormonal changes in perimenopause can intensify symptoms due to shifts in dopamine and estrogen levels. You'll learn how mental restlessness, overthinking, and emotional dysregulation are connected to brain chemistry—not personal failure—and why managing ADHD requires more than just willpower or hormone support. This conversation also dives into practical tools for managing overwhelm, improving focus, working with your natural rhythms, and creating systems that actually work for the ADHD brain. If you've ever felt scattered, overstimulated, or stuck in cycles of overthinking, this episode will help you understand what's really going on—and what to do next. Key Topics: - How ADHD shows up differently in women - Misdiagnosis: ADHD vs anxiety and depression - Dopamine, estrogen, and perimenopause - Mental restlessness and overthinking cycles - Emotional dysregulation and low dopamine - Stimulus-seeking behaviors (doom scrolling, distraction) - Time management and working with your energy rhythms - Sleep, ADHD medication, and nervous system impact - Practical systems for email, tasks, and home overwhelm - Why ADHD management is skill-based—not just hormonal Links Mentioned: Website: adhdcoaching.com Book: Invisible ADHD Join Erin's monthly mailing list to get health tips and fresh meal plans and recipes every month: https://mailchi.mp/adde1b3a4af3/monthlysparksignup Order Erin's new book, Live Beyond Your Label, at erinbkerry.com/upcomingbook/

The topic of matchmaking agencies, now often calling themselves "matchmakers," Michael is critical of their approach. He highlights that most matchmakers are women who prioritize money as the main attribute when pairing men and women, which leads to transactional relationships, undermining genuine desire. He insists that leading with money makes it impossible to generate authentic attraction. This transactional nature blurs the lines between matchmaking and escort services, with some escorts reportedly using matchmakers as a softer version of prostitution.   00:00 - Navigating Modern Dating Challenges and "Shielding" from Stimulus 03:21 - The Reality of Modern Matchmaking and the Failure of Financial Leading 07:44 - The "Male Upgrade Struggle" vs. the "Female Glow Up" 11:47 - The Limitation of Dating Advice from Different Lived Experiences 14:55 - The Universal Male Struggle and Global Community Diversity 17:26 - Insights from Club Promotion: Social Proof and Pre-Selection 20:08 - Data vs. Perspective: Why You Shouldn't Ask Women for Dating Advice 21:42 - Proven Studies on Attraction: The Cheerleader Effect and Female Approval 24:45 - Building Social Circles and the Importance of High-Status Networking 38:12 - High-Value Lifestyles: Impact of Personal Branding and Aesthetics 52:30 - Overcoming Limiting Beliefs and the Psychology of Success 01:05:15 - Strategic Networking: How to Enter Elite Social Circles 01:22:40 - The Long-Term Impact of Self-Improvement and Community Support 01:30:31 - Final Thoughts and Episode Wrap-Up ————————————————————

Your brain is aging faster than it should, and most of the decline is self-inflicted. Neuroscientist Dr. Tommy Wood reveals the exact mechanisms driving cognitive decay, and the biohacking strategies backed by hard science that can stop it, reverse it, and future-proof your brain at any age. -Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Tommy Wood, one of the most credentialed minds working at the intersection of brain optimization, human performance, and longevity. Dr. Wood holds a medical degree from the University of Oxford, a PhD in physiology and neuroscience from the University of Oslo, and serves as Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Neuroscience at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He has published over 100 scientific papers, consulted with Olympians and world champions across more than a dozen sports, and worked directly with Formula 1 drivers to sustain elite focus and reaction time at 200 miles per hour. His forthcoming book, The Stimulated Mind: Future-Proof Your Brain from Dementia and Stay Sharp at Any Age, is the culmination of decades of research and real-world application. Together, Dave and Dr. Wood dismantle the myth that cognitive decline is inevitable, exposing how societal expectations become self-fulfilling prophecies and how the tools of biohacking, including sleep optimization, neuroplasticity training, nootropics, supplements, and strategic exercise, can dramatically shift your brain's long-term trajectory. They dig into the 3S Model of brain health (Stimulus, Supply, Support), the Yerkes-Dodson arousal curve and what it means for focus and flow states, and the surprising truth about AI, boredom, and what actually happens to your brain when you let ChatGPT do your thinking for you. This episode is essential listening for anyone serious about anti-aging, brain optimization, functional medicine, metabolism, human performance, and getting smarter without working harder. You'll Learn: Why cognitive decline is largely a self-fulfilling prophecy driven by expectation, not biology How the 3S Model (Stimulus, Supply, Support) determines your brain's long-term health and resilience What Formula 1 drivers teach us about arousal, flow states, and peak cognitive performance Why high-intensity interval training produces dramatically greater neuroplasticity benefits than Zone 2 cardio alone How creatine, nicotine, nootropics, and other supplements actually affect the aging brain The real data on alcohol, dementia risk, and what "occasional drinking" actually means scientifically How to use AI tools like ChatGPT in a way that builds brain function instead of destroying it Why boredom is a neurological necessity and how chronic low-level stimulation is quietly eroding your cognition What mitochondria and lactate signaling have to do with BDNF and long-term memory How resistance training, coordinative movement, and blood flow restriction each deliver separate and distinct cognitive benefits Thank you to our sponsors! - KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/and use code DAVE for 20% off - Neuronic | Go to www.neuronic.online Code DAVE for $100 off - Danger Coffee | Grab yours at DangerCoffee.comand use code DAVEPOD at checkout for 15% off. - Suppgrade Labs | Grab your DAKE and Minerals 101 duo at shopsuppgradelabs.com and use code DAVEPOD for 15% off today Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Tamny critiques the federal government's "command economy" response, specifically the trillions of dollars in stimulus and the Payroll Protection Program. He argues that consumption does not drive growth — investment does — and that by "hoovering up" capital from those most capable of investing and redistributing it to consumers, the government delayed natural economic recovery. The PPP propped up "the past" and prevented the necessary "creative destruction" that allows a dynamic economy to evolve. Tamny ultimately advocates for freedom as the only sustainable answer to future crises, noting that private enterprise — not government mandates — produced the vaccines in record time.

Deputy Editor Francis Marchlinski hosts a deep‑dive discussion on the study "Functional Conduction Block During Extra‑Stimulus Mapping Masks Deceleration Zones and Reveals Additional VT Substrate." In this episode, Dr. Marchlinski explores how extra‑stimulus pacing can alter the visualization of critical conduction deceleration zones and uncover previously hidden components of the ventricular tachycardia substrate. He breaks down the clinical implications of these dynamic changes and what they mean for improving VT mapping and ablation strategies.

Welcome to another short but empowering episode of Monday Motivation, giving you a dose of inspiration as you head into your week... Today, we explore Viktor Frankl’s powerful reminder that between what happens to us and how we respond, there is a space where our power, growth and freedom live: 'Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.' Three key takeaways: Why the pause between stimulus and response is one of the most powerful tools you have in everyday life How to respond with greater intention when life feels overwhelming, uncertain or emotionally charged A simple practice to help you move from reacting on autopilot to choosing with calm, grace and self-leadership Listen in and discover how one conscious breath can help you respond in a way that moves you closer to living your dream life, whatever that means to you. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here. Have a wonderful week …and remember, it all starts with a dream

React made a lot of us feel powerful, then maintenance made a lot of us feel tired. Drew Bragg sits down with Delaney Gillilan, creator of Datastar, to argue for a different kind of “modern web” one that keeps the browser's strengths front and center and keeps your app logic where it belongs: on the server. If you've ever looked at your dependency graph and wondered how you got here, this conversation is a reset.We get concrete about what Datastar is and how it works: a tiny reactive framework built around HTML, data attributes, and signals, with a plugin system that stays out of the way. Delaney explains why most state should live on the backend, why duplicating validation and business rules in the client is wasted effort, and why hypermedia is still the simplest way to communicate what a user can do next. We also unpack the “send strings to the browser” philosophy and how that changes performance, complexity, and even team collaboration.Real-time is where it gets spicy. Delaney makes the case for Server-Sent Events (SSE) over WebSockets for many apps, leaning on normal HTTP semantics, built-in reconnects, and streaming compression to ship tiny DOM diffs efficiently. From there we talk CQRS as a mental model for command intent vs view updates, plus what this means for Ruby on Rails developers weighing Hotwire, Stimulus, and upgrades. We close with two bold companion projects: Rocket, which makes Web Components more declarative, and Stellar, a Tailwind alternative that uses parametric CSS variables for a modern design system workflow.If you enjoy deep technical takes on reactive UI, server-driven rendering, SSE, Rails, and modern CSS, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who's stuck in SPA fatigue, and leave a review with the part you disagreed with most.Send us some love.JudoscaleAutoscaling that actually works.

In 2025 Dominique needed to take some time off over the summer. I went ahead and did a series of interviews, including one with Dr Claire St Peter and Dr Carol Pilgrim, episodes 349 to 351. We were talking about stimulus control. Those episodes aired in the fall. The episode you're about to listen to was supposed to air back in the fall as well, but somehow it fell between the cracks and we moved on with other interviews instead. We talked with Dr. Stephanie Jones, Sofia Abuin and Lucy Butler about control, coercion and empathy. After that, in the run-up to the Clicker Expo we did an interview with Chirag Patel. And now finally here's Part One of a three part conversation that Dominique and I had after Dominique listened to the interview with Dr Pilgrim and Dr St Peter. You might want to listen to those episodes first, but it is by no means necessary for you to have heard that conversation for you to be able to follow along here. The conversation with Dr Pulgrim and Dr St Peter sparked lots of questions for Dominique. We begin by comparing the standard instructions for teaching cues and stimulus control with the way that I prefer to teach them. The standard instructions make use of extinction. I prefer to teach behaviors in pairs. I make use of a very powerful reminder: for every exercise there is an opposite exercise you must teach to keep things in balance. The result is strong stimulus control. Another expression that I refer to frequently when we talk about cues is cues evolve out of the teaching process. The standard instructions for teaching cues distorts the handlers ability to see cues as they are evolving. We need to be noticing what our horse is noticing and this old way of teaching cues is taking us in the opposite direction. Several stories illustrate how the teaching behaviors in pairs works to generate well understood, reliable cues.

Lower tax payments shift stimulus later into 1H26 We're in the midst of tax season, and BAC data helps us track changes in refunds, payments, and the impact on spending. Refund growth is in the high single digits y/y, but lower tax payments bring total stimulus closer to the ~25% increase we had been expecting. Aditya Bhave explains how lower payments shift the timing of benefits, potentially extending the spending lift through much of the first half of 2026. There's also evidence that higher refunds and lower payments are boosting spend, with a modest inflection since early this year. Middle- and higher‑income consumers appear to benefit most. With much of the lift tied to higher SALT deductions, we examine whether SALT states such as NY, NJ, and CA are seeing stronger spending and how weather and past wildfires may be clouding the data. We finish with whether any further measures could support lower‑income consumers and what to expect from the incoming Fed Chair.    You may also enjoy listening to the Merrill Perspectives podcast, featuring conversations on the big stories, news and trends affecting your everyday financial life.   "Bank of America" and “BofA Securities” are the marketing names for the global banking businesses and global markets businesses (which includes BofA Global Research) of Bank of America Corporation.

Register for a live Q&A with Dr. Tommy Wood on Wednesday, March 25th.Decreased glucose uptake in the brain is often considered a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. But Dr. Tommy Wood asks whether part of that metabolic signature may reflect how little cognitive demand we place on the brain.He sits down with Dr. Dominic D'Agostino for a nuanced conversation on metabolic health and cognitive function.. Dr. Wood is a neuroscientist, neonatal brain injury researcher, and author of The Stimulated Mind.This episode follows the metabolic thread through every stage of brain health. Pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes as predictors of cognitive decline. Neurovascular coupling as the reason heart disease risk factors double as brain disease risk factors. Lactate crossing the blood-brain barrier to drive BDNF production where it actually matters. Creatine as a brain energy distributor that most people still only associate with muscle. Dr. Wood lays out his Three S Model — Stimulus, Supply, Support — and makes the case that cognitive demand drives glucose uptake into the brain the same way muscular contraction drives it into skeletal muscle.Questions Answered in This Episode:Does the brain respond to energy demand the same way skeletal muscle does?What role does creatine play in brain energy distribution, and what do the clinical trials show?Can heavy resistance training produce the same brain-relevant lactate response as HIIT?How should exercise be dosed after a concussion or traumatic brain injury?Is cognitive decline in your 50s, 60s, and 70s actually inevitable, or is that a statistical artifact?Why are pre-diabetes and metabolic syndrome among the strongest predictors of dementia?The mechanistic throughline here is demand-driven metabolism. Dr. Wood makes the case that the same principles governing glucose uptake in skeletal muscle apply to the brain — and the conversation gets into what that means for how we interpret FDG-PET data, design lifestyle interventions, and think about neurodegeneration itself.Find more at DrTommyWood.comSpecial thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅ Fatty15 – Get 15% off a 90-day Starter Kit with code METABOLICLINK here✅ Troscriptions – Get 10% off your first order with code METABOLICLINK here✅ Toups and Co – Get 15% off your first order with code METABOLIC here✅ ZocDoc - Find and instantly book a top-rated doctor hereIn every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

What if you could keep Rails pages fast, accessible, and SEO‑friendly, yet still get modern interactivity without shipping a mountain of JavaScript? We sit down with Cameron Dutro to unpack Live Component, a server‑first approach that breathes life into ViewComponent by treating state as data, rendering on the server, and morphing the DOM with Hotwire. No fragile ID wiring. No React by default. Just clear state, small payloads, and focused updates.We trace the path that led here: experiments rendering Ruby in the browser with Ruby.wasm, Opal, and even a TypeScript Ruby interpreter, and why those payloads and debugging pain pushed the work back to the server. Cameron explains the Live Component mental model—initializer‑defined state, slots, and a sidecar Stimulus controller—plus how targeted re‑renders make forms and micro‑interactions feel instant. We talk transports (HTTP vs WebSockets), serialization best practices for Active Record data, and where React still shines for high‑intensity builders and editors.Beyond the code, we dig into the bigger web story: how DX‑first choices often punish users on slower devices and networks, and why a balanced, server‑driven approach can close that gap. You'll hear real‑world tradeoffs, debugging techniques that feel like home to Rails devs, and a clever fix born from a Snake game that surfaced timing issues and led to a preempt option for queued renders. If your team wants dynamic islands without adopting a full SPA, this conversation offers a practical roadmap.Explore Live Component at livecomponent.org and the GitHub org at github.com/livecomponent.

In this episode, Dr. Tommy Woods, a neuroscientist and performance coach, shares the best practices you should follow if you want to achieve optimal brain health. He also details how how these practices are tied into your overall health. Dr. Wood introduces his 3S Model, “Stimulus, Supply, and Support,” a simple and practical way to think about how the brain adapts, performs, and stays resilient over time. You'll learn why how you use your brain is the primary driver of brain function, how cardiovascular and metabolic health influence cognition, and why sleep is where the real adaptation happens. You'll also hear powerful coaching insights on handling stress (including why you can't think yourself out of stress), practical tools to downshift when you're under pressure, and the science-backed truth that the adult brain can learn “new tricks”. And you'll also learn why mistakes (and the grace to forgive yourself and others when they occur) are so necessary for continued growth. YOU WILL LEARN: How the “Stimulus–Supply–Support” framework make “brain optimization” doable without the overwhelm. You can't “outthink” yourself out of being stressed, but you can learn effective ways to manage it. Why mistakes should be reframed as necessary and critical components to growth. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Stimulated Mind, by Dr. Tommy Wood Behave, by Robert Sapolsky The Neuroscience of You, by Chantelle Pratt NOTEWORTHY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: “The 3S are stimulus, support and supply. In terms of brain function, stimulus is the most important.” — Dr. Tommy Wood “The most important thing somebody should do for their brain health is the thing that they will actually do and do it consistently.” — Dr. Tommy Wood “You don't get stronger in the gym — you get stronger when you recover. And the brain is exactly the same.” — Dr. Tommy Wood “One of the best ways to buffer stress and build our stress capacity is exercise.” — Dr. Tommy Wood “You don't know all the amazing things that can happen if you just go out into the world and you're nice to other people.” — Dr. Tommy Wood Hosted on Acast.

GHOST CITIES AND THE STIMULUS TRAP Colleague Anne Stevenson-Yang, Wild Ride. China's growth model shifted toward massive infrastructure spending, resulting in "ghost cities" and replica Western towns built to inflate GDP rather than house people. This "Potemkin culture" peaked during the 2008 Olympics, where facades were painted to impress foreigners. To counter the global financial crisis, Beijing flooded the economy with loans, fueling a real estate bubble that consumed more cement in three years than the US did in a century, creating unsustainable debt. NUMBER 7 1946 THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI

In this episode of Makes Sense with Dr. JC, we explore a quiet but unsettling observation: as AI advances and digital content explodes, many of us are feeling less connected, less nourished, and less sure about what's real. This isn't a complaint; it's a moment of awareness. A Hmmm? From social media illusions and synthetic meaning to ancient wisdom traditions that warned us about Maya, the illusion of “not now,” this episode invites you to question a deeply ingrained belief: that life's blessings exist somewhere in the future, after you've fixed yourself, earned enough, or survived one more season. What if that belief is backwards? Through personal reflection, spiritual insight, and lived experience, including lessons from deep inner stripping rather than addition, this conversation reframes hardship, loss, and disruption as moments where the wrapping paper of illusion is torn away, revealing what was never missing to begin with. This episode is an invitation to stop running past your life… and finally unwrap the present. Make Sense?
