In 1969, a satirical book, The Peter Principle, suggested promotion led to incompetence.It was written by a Canadian Professor of Education, Dr Laurence J Peter and playwright Raymond Hull. The book was a parody of management theory, but its core message struck a chord with many: “In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence". It became an instant classic, selling millions of copies around the world. In 2021, Alex Last told the story of how Dr Peter came up with his theory using an archive interview he gave to the BBC in 1974. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

We explore how childhood experiences shape our adult relationship with money, especially for those with ADHD who receive an estimated 20,000 more negative messages than praise by age 10.• Children with ADHD often develop shame-based beliefs from chronic criticism• These negative messages literally rewire the developing brain• The prefrontal cortex (responsible for decision-making) is affected by both ADHD and chronic stress• Financial struggles in adulthood often stem from childhood shame rather than just executive function• Conventional financial advice fails because it doesn't address the underlying emotional wounds• The pattern creates a feedback loop: shame triggers fear, which impairs executive function• Healing begins by recognizing and addressing the emotional needs of your inner child• Breaking the shame cycle allows financial management to improve naturallyWhat moment in this explanation resonated most with you?

In this episode of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence sits down with Patrick Pianezza, co-writer of the new EMS film “Code 3”, a deeply honest and compelling portrayal of life on the ambulance. The film stars Rainn Wilson (“The Office”), Lil Rel Howery (“Free Guy”) and Aimee Carrero (“Elena of Avalor”), delivering a powerful performance that captures both the pressures and the humanity of EMS work. Using real-world experiences and stories from the field, “Code 3” highlights the passion, dedication and emotional toll experienced by EMS professionals every day. From burnout, to systemic challenges, the movie invites the public into the high-stakes world of emergency medical services, showing both the challenges and the heart behind the uniform. Patrick and Rob discuss not only the storytelling process, but also the personal experiences that informed the movie. Pianezza candidly shares the emotional toll of EMS work, the reality of burnout and the importance of mental health support for first responders. This episode is both a celebration of the dedication of those who serve in 911 and a call for awareness and gratitude for the vital work they perform. “Code 3” opens in selected cinemas on Sept. 12, 2025. Memorable quotes “I remember going to one of my old bosses and saying, ‘I think I'm burning out.' The reaction I got was this dark chuckle … ‘We're all burnt out. Get back on the truck.' That kind of festering mentality is not healthy.” — Patrick Pianezza “Six out of six people that I have worked with have unfortunately [died by] suicide, and the suicide rates for first responders is double that of the regular population … which is a statistic we need to fix.” — Patrick Pianezza “And it is … a good representation of life on the truck, on the street, with a guy who's clearly burned out; but a person that cares, that has passion, commitment and will always do the right thing.” — Patrick Pianezza “There was no way to confront the story without talking about salaries, without talking about reimbursements … No one's gonna see a movie about Medicare, Medicaid, but we are as honest as we can be.” — Patrick Pianezza “This movie is nothing more than a gratitude tour for everyone who works in 911 … I'll be a broken record here: thank you for what it is that you do because it matters. I've been in those boots and I'm here to tell you thank you.” — Patrick Pianezza “And as I say in my review, those who know me know my ability to take tactical naps during movies. Well, this one got two eyes open and absolutely five stars.” — Rob Lawrence Episode timeline 00:00 – Introduction: Rob Lawrence introduces Patrick Pianezza and the film “Code 3” starring Rainn Wilson 02:31 – Origins of “Code 3:” How the project started and the vision behind telling an authentic EMS story 05:01 – Creative team & casting: working with actors, crew and Rainn Wilson 08:01 – On-the-Street authenticity: translating real EMS experiences into the film 12:01 – Depicting burnout: emotional and mental challenges in EMS work 16:01 – Mental health & seeking help: Autobiographical elements and confronting burnout 20:01 – Systemic issues: salaries, Medicare, and Medicaid reimbursement challenges 24:01 – Impact on families & relationships: emotional toll beyond the job 27:01 – Personal reflection: Patrick's journey, struggles and growth in EMS 29:01 – Gratitude tour: purpose of the film and acknowledging EMS professionals 32:01 – Closing thoughts: film release details, upcoming trailer and final messages of appreciation Enjoying the show?

Beyond the Scale: Christian Podcast on True Transformation and Faith-Based FitnessWe all know someone who looks “difficult” on the surface—loud, late, defensive, maybe even carrying a chip on their shoulder. In this episode of the Build Different Podcast, I (Drew Cost) share the story of a client who seemed that way at first… until I sat down with her 1:1.Behind the walls, she had a powerful testimony: losing over 100 pounds, surviving an ugly divorce, moving to a brand-new state, and fighting the fear of losing all the progress she worked so hard for.This conversation isn't just about fitness—it's about faith, inner healing, and true transformation.

It's Thursday, and time for our Week in Politics with the Times Picayune's/The Advocate's editorial director and columnist, Stephanie Grace. Today, we discuss President Trump's proposal to send the National Guard to New Orleans and how Gov. Jeff Landry has responded. Ask anyone in New Orleans, and they know: Hurricane Katrina was such a devastating disaster because of the catastrophic failure of the city's levee system. In the storm's wake, the federal government built an entirely new levee system, and the state created entirely new organizations to oversee it. Despite the upgrades, water policy critics are warning that politics could be undermining the city's most important protection against the next storm. The coastal desk's Eva Tesfaye tells us more. You have an idea, and you convince your friends to join you in realizing it. They move to another city, in this case, New Orleans. But just before that vision is about to take center stage, Katrina hits.That's what happened to The NOLA Project when they were getting ready for their first production as a theatre company in 2005. But the group returned to the city and persevered, often performing their works outside of traditional venues and in “found spaces.”Founder Andrew Larimer and original company member and second artistic director, AJ Allegra, tell us more about the theatre's unique origin story.___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich.

Ever wonder what it takes to build a restaurant that becomes a beloved community staple? Kevin from Pedaler's Pub joins the B-Team Podcast to share the remarkable journey of transforming from school teacher to successful restaurateur.Kevin's story is refreshingly genuine – starting with a homemade wood-fired pizza oven on a trailer where he perfected recipes before taking the entrepreneurial leap. His philosophy is beautifully simple: serve good food at fair prices, stay open later than everyone else, and maintain unwavering quality. This approach has created not just a restaurant, but a Bentonville institution that recently expanded from 2,500 to 9,000 square feet while keeping its original charm and character.What truly sets Pedaler's apart is the incredible team Kevin has assembled. In an industry notorious for turnover, his general manager has been there since day one, eleven years ago. His bar manager? Ten years. As Kevin puts it with characteristic straightforwardness, "You can't suck and work here." This commitment to excellence extends to every aspect of the business, from their meticulously crafted wood-fired pizzas (where the oven operator serves as "the quarterback" of the entire kitchen) to their fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.The expanded location holds some delightful surprises too – like a full golf simulator room available for private rental, pool tables with ample space, and plans for a future patio. Kevin walks us through the challenges of maintaining pizza perfection when cooking with wood fire, the careful decisions behind menu evolution, and why their branded take-home cups have become collectors' items around town.Whether you're a longtime Pedaler's fan or haven't yet experienced their chicken bacon ranch pizza (a kitchen staff favorite) or their legendary wood-fired spinach artichoke dip, this episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the heart and soul of a restaurant that embodies the best of Bentonville's dining scene.Head to 500 South Main Street to experience Pedaler's Pub for yourself, or follow them online to learn more about their story, menu, and special offerings. Your new favorite pizza place (and so much more) is waiting!

In 1968 while Joplin, Hendrix, the Doors and Jefferson Airplane were singing about sex, drugs and rock ‘n' roll, Bobby Goldsboro was singing about “Honey.” After a career in which he sold more than 35 million records, hosted a national TV show, wrote six best-selling children's books and produced a national PBS show, you'd think the almost 85 year old Goldsboro would be winding down. Think again.Bobby Goldsboro was born in the small town of Marianna, Florida. Growing up in a modest setting, he discovered a love for music at an early age. By the time he was a teenager, he was already playing guitar and dreaming about a life in the spotlight. After high school, Bobby attended University but quickly found himself drawn more to music than academics. That passion led him to join a band called The Webs—the first real stepping stone to his career.The Webs were talented enough to catch the attention of rock legend Roy Orbison. In 1962, Orbison invited the band to back him on tour. Bobby suddenly found himself on the road with one of the most iconic voices in rock history, gaining invaluable experience. For two years, he traveled the world with Orbison, honing his skills and learning the ins and outs of the music business. In 1964, Bobby launched his solo career, and his very first single, “See the Funny Little Clown,” became a hit. The song shot into the Top 10 and introduced his unique, heartfelt vocal style to the world. More singles followed that proved he wasn't a one-hit wonder. Everything changed in 1968 with the release of “Honey.” The emotional ballad tells the story of a man grieving the loss of his wife. Goldsboro's tender delivery turned it into a cultural phenomenon. The song spent five weeks at No. 1 and became one of the decade's best-selling singles, topping charts worldwide. Love it or find it schmultzy “Honey” defined Bobby Goldsboro's career and remains his signature song.Though “Honey” was his biggest success, Bobby continued to deliver memorable music. Songs like “Summer (The First Time)” and “Watching Scotty Grow” touched audiences everywhere. Bobby's tracks showcased his versatility, blending country, pop, and folk influences while always keeping the storytelling front and centre.During the '70s, Bobby expanded his career beyond the recording studio. He became the host of The Bobby Goldsboro Show, a syndicated musical variety program that ran for several years. It highlighted his warmth, charm, and sense of humour—qualities that endeared him to audiences far beyond his music.As the '80s rolled in, Bobby gradually stepped away from the spotlight of hit records and touring. But creativity still flowed. He turned his attention to painting, creating detailed wildlife and landscape art that quickly gained recognition. Collectors admired his work, and he established himself as a respected visual artist.He also ventured into children's programming, producing the animated series The Swamp Critters of Lost Lagoon.What makes Bobby Goldsboro special is the emotional connection he forges with his audience. He has a rare ability to capture universal feelings in simple, beautiful ways. His soft, vulnerable voice made listeners feel like he was singing directly to them, a gift that explains why his songs have endured for so long.Today, Bobby Goldsboro may no longer dominate the charts, but his influence is undeniable. He continues to paint, create, and inspire, while fans old and new revisit his music with appreciation. His career is a reminder that creativity comes in many forms and that an artist's legacy isn't defined by a single moment, but by a lifetime of work.Tune in to hear Bobby relive the story of his career and let him take you back to your youth, to a time when his songs dominated the charts.Please reach out to me with any comments or feedback through the website https://www.abreathoffreshair.com.au

Welcome back to another episode of the Rick's Rambles Podcast!

Bex flips the script and puts Michelle in the hot seat. We get into the messy middle: pivoting from acting to construction to podcasting, the burnout that forced a reset, money honesty, why community matters, and how to build something you care about without losing your mind (or your keys).Key takeawaysYou don't need to burn it all down to pivot—build the bridge while you're still on it.Self-awareness is a double-edged sword; pair it with action and data, not doom-scroll metrics.Ask for help. Community is a strategy, not a weakness.Defiance gets you to the start line; consistency gets you to the finish.“Enough” is a number and a feeling—separate business goals from ego.Use “What's the evidence?” to challenge your inner critic (and your hype).Purpose = entertain + storytelling + empower — let it steer decisions.Stoicism (and tiny proofs) beat perfectionism.Women: price your value like “the average white guy” energy you joked about—confident and clear.IRL > online: in-person conversations and live shows build loyalty faster than another Zoom.Timestamps00:00 Tables turn—Bex takes the host chair; why new listeners need Michelle's backstory03:30 Regret & return: film/directing dreams, auditions, and circling back to storytelling06:30 The hard truth about building a show: ups/downs, data over dopamine13:10 Counting the invisible work: two episodes, a shoot, kids, and keeping perspective17:40 The email exercise that changed everything (friends define you at your best)19:30 From geography grad to construction—“fake it till you make it” and finding your edge23:10 Burnout → pivot to podcasting; choosing the hardest thing on purpose28:30 Learning from guests (Tim Ferriss vibe) and stitching lessons into tools for listeners (great mid-roll slot)31:45 Seasick on a fishing boat: why terrible days make great stories36:00 Marathon mindset: hubris vs. habits; micro-wins beat impulse39:15 ADHD, dopamine, and doing the boring bits your future self needs50:00 Stoicism, Ryan Holiday, and the “Daily proof > daily mood” approach52:00 What “winning” means now; the three-word filter: entertain, storytelling, empower55:10 Clothing with meaning vs. “just merch”; why the brand has to feel like a tribe56:30 What's next: live shows with community Q&A; collab with Laura (BRB)58:40 Why in-person beats Zoom for deeper conversations and loyal audience60:40 “Advice to 12-year-old me”—stop hiding, say yes, learn out loud67:00 Money, fear, and finding your “enough” line77:45 Kill comparison; use evidence; keep going—then keep going again Hosted on Acast.

When an 88‑year‑old Tennessee woman confronted representatives of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) when they came to survey her land for a methane gas plant project, her words—“you think you own something, you don't own nothing”—left a lasting impression on country artist John Rich.That moment became the spark for his new song “The Devil and the TVA” and the starting point for this conversation on “American Thought Leaders.”In this episode, Rich reflects on his journey from Texas family sing‑alongs to writing No. 1 hits with bands Lonestar and Big & Rich. He explains why he walked away from major record labels to protect his creative freedom, and he shares how songs like “Revelation” and “Earth to God” to connect present‑day turmoil with enduring spiritual truths.Along the way, he opens up about the lessons he has learned about faith, fame, and standing firm in what matters most.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Christopher Hill, Founder of Hands Up Holidays. Christopher takes us inside his journey from a career in finance to launching a travel company focused on eco-luxury family volunteer vacations. In our conversation, Christopher shares the story behind Hands Up Holidays, and we discuss the company's focus on family and ethical travel with a holistic approach that ensures each journey leaves a positive impact on local communities and their visitors. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Christopher built Hands Up Holidays by combining luxury travel with meaningful volunteer experiences Why personal interaction with local communities and hands-on volunteering create transformative travel experiences for both guests and host communities How Christopher creates consistency across marketing and delivery How Christopher's business model evolved to focus on families and why inspiring the next generation of world changers has become a core part of his mission Why building strong, direct relationships with local communities and ground partners was essential before launching the business How Hands Up Holidays curates unique, customizable trips that blend giving back with sightseeing and adventure Hands Up Holidays' collaborations with nonprofits, DMCs, travel agents, and brands like TOMS, and why shared values are key to their effective partnerships The Foundation of Responsible Tourism Launching Hands Up Holidays wasn't a matter of spinning up a website and sending travelers abroad. Christopher spent two years building relationships with communities worldwide. He sought firsthand knowledge—not just through professional networks, but by traveling, listening, and consulting directly with prospective partners. His approach was, and still is, to ask communities what they need, ensuring that volunteer efforts are genuinely beneficial and welcomed. Luxury, Family Focus, and Holistic Sustainability Christopher identifies three powerful differentiators that have contributed to Hands Up Holidays' success: Luxury with a Purpose: Targeting high-end travelers with a philanthropy-based model, the company opens doors for those seeking to give back without sacrificing comfort. Hands Up Holidays redefines the luxury experience to include ethical action. Family-Focused Experiences: Although originally aimed at professionals, Hands Up Holidays soon shifted focus to catering to families, especially those eager to foster gratitude and a sense of global citizenship in their children. Holistic Sustainability: Their approach isn't just about volunteering; it encompasses eco-friendly lodging, organic and local food, energy-efficient travel, and exclusively local guides. This creates a well-rounded, responsible travel experience. Collaboration and Alignment Collaboration—with communities, nonprofits, destination management companies (DMCs), and even other travel agencies—is central to Hands Up Holidays' success. Christopher shares examples from major partnerships, like working with TOMS Shoes and a skateboard company to create impactful experiences in South Africa. The key ingredient for successful collaborations is shared values, and Christopher highlights that the most fruitful partnerships arise from aligned missions.
