Today's conversation is a homecoming—back to the body, back to character, and back to what it means to be a man. My guest, Mark Walsh, challenges the modern habit of living entirely in our heads—cut off from sensation, boundaries, and responsibility. We talk embodiment not as fitness or aesthetics, but using physical training to develop character, emotional regulation, and presence. From Stoicism and shadow work to doing hard things on purpose, this episode is about reclaiming awareness, expanding range, and building the discipline required to choose better behavior. We also confront the cult of modernity: hyper-individualism, happiness culture, pleasure-seeking that produces pain, and the loss of religion, community, and moral formation. Mark makes the case that happiness is secondary to meaning and commitment and that true freedom is forged through discipline, not the absence of limits.

RSVP HERE we won't host another Open House until later this spring.A personal turning point became a company, a community, and a test of what values-driven leadership actually costs.Lindsay Pinchuk sits down with Zibby Owens to talk about how a deeply personal reset evolved into a media company built on instinct, trust, and conviction. Zibby shares how her work as a podcaster grew from meaningful conversations with authors into live events, publishing, and a broader community shaped by paying close attention to what resonated. How do you keep building when there is no clear roadmap and the business keeps changing?Zibby shares how she makes decisions inside a business that refuses to stay static. She explains how creating an umbrella brand helped her clarify who the company exists for and what truly belongs, even when that meant letting go of projects she loved. Structure arrived when it was necessary, not because she chased scale, but because the work demanded it.Zibby also talks about the cost of showing up publicly with conviction after October 7th. She reflects on backlash, strained relationships, and the emotional weight of choosing to speak openly. That choice led her to step more fully into her role as an advocate, using Zibby Media to create an anthology that gathered stories and offered connection during a moment of crisis.This episode shows listeners what it really takes to grow a business without a script, hold firm to your values, and keep showing up when the stakes are personal as well as professional.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Leadership, Visibility, And Responsibility After October 7th 02:22 Building Zibby Media Without A Traditional Business Plan 06:01 Becoming A Podcaster And Turning Conversations Into Community 08:16 Expanding From Podcast To Publishing Company And Bookstore 13:55 Rebranding To Zibby Media And Creating An Umbrella Brand 18:31 How To Know When A Business Idea Is Not Working 22:46 The Cost Of Speaking Publicly And Staying Authentic 26:45 National Book Awards Decision And Defining Values In Business 29:05 Creating An Anthology And Stepping Into Advocacy 34:39 The Hard Realities Of Growth: Hiring, Events, And Monetization 40:58 Advice For Women Building A BusinessConnect with Zibby Owens:Follow Zibby on Instagram Follow Zibby Publishing on Instagram Follow Zibby's Bookshop on Instagram Follow Totally Booked with Zibby on Instagram Visit Zibby Media Visit Zibby's websiteJoin us for the Dear FoundHer...

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared St. Clair explains why supplement companies and their labels—and even educators like Jared—have to sound so careful about the claims they make. You'll learn how DSHEA (the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act) reshaped the supplement industry in the 1990s, why brands can say “supports healthy joints” but can't say “treats arthritis,” and what “structure/function claims” really mean. Jared also breaks down the FDA-required disclaimer (“These statements have not been evaluated…”) so you know what it does and doesn't imply about whether a product works. Finally, he gives a practical label-reading skill most shoppers miss: serving size math, so you can tell what you're actually getting per capsule and per day.Additional Information:Vitamin Raid YouTube VideoEpisode BlogInventory Reduction Sale!For the first time ever, we're bringing to you our inventory reduction sale online.

EP:175 Are you secretly parenting from fear? In this episode of Thrive Like a Parent, I break down fear-based parenting and how letting your kids sit in the driver's seat might be quietly burning you out and confusing their brains. I share my own story—raising two boys who've walked through deep grief, my fears about their mental health, and how I swung too far into “all emotions, no boundaries” before I learned to bring logic, structure, and leadership back into our home. You'll hear real-life examples of what this looks like: from chores and morning routines, to what happens when your child refuses to go to school, says “I hate you,” or melts down when you set a limit. We talk about: Why so many of us are scared to set boundaries (and terrified we'll “mess up” our kids) How structure = safety for your child's brain What natural consequences can look like without shaming, isolating, or punishing Simple ways to start shifting from passenger to confident, compassionate leader in your home Why parenting the child in front of you, not the child you fear they'll become, changes everything If you're exhausted, drowning in guilt, and terrified of “ruining” your kids, this episode is your permission slip to get back in the driver's seat—with love, clarity, and leadership that actually supports your child's emotional and neurological health. If this episode hit home for you: Screenshot and share it on your stories and tag me @brookeweinst so I can cheer you on.

One of the things I love most about podcasting is getting to have the conversations I wish more people could hear, especially the ones that normalize what so many of us quietly struggle with.I sit down with my friend and fellow MAPP grad Corinne Kneis, a psychotherapist and wellness educator whose work beautifully bridges empathy, mindfulness, ADHD, and anxiety.Corinne and I first met during the Master of Applied Positive Psychology program at the University of Pennsylvania, and I've long admired how she brings both science and humanity into her work. In this conversation, we explore what empathy really looks like in therapy and everyday life, why so many women mask ADHD with anxiety and perfectionism, and how mindfulness can help create space between emotional overwhelm and thoughtful response.We also talk openly about sensitivity, burnout, overfunctioning, and the strengths that often come with ADHD—like curiosity, passion, and love of learning. Corinne shares practical tools therapists use (and that anyone can apply) to regulate the nervous system, manage anxiety, and build healthier relationships with their emotions.Whether you're navigating anxiety, ADHD, burnout, or simply want more emotional clarity and self-compassion, this episode offers grounded insight and actionable strategies you can start using right away.Top 5 TakeawaysEmpathy has two forms. Understanding the difference between affective (emotional) and cognitive empathy can reduce burnout and increase compassion.Many women mask ADHD with anxiety. Perfectionism and overfunctioning are often coping strategies, not character flaws.Mindfulness creates space. Simple practices can help separate emotional reactions from cognitive responses.ADHD is not a deficit. Differences often come with powerful strengths like curiosity, passion, and creativity.Structure + play matter. Routines, humor, and nervous system regulation are essential tools for emotional well-being.Learn More about Corinne Below:Flourish Psychotherapy by Corinne KneisFollow Along with Corinne on InstagramConnect with Corinne on LinkedIn--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

In this episode, we talk about setting up our new podcast studio and how that whole process has been equal parts exciting and chaotic. From there, the conversation shifts into something we deal with daily: ADHD in a relationship and what that looks like while raising kids.We share how ADHD shows up differently for each of us and how learning to understand those differences has changed the way we communicate and divide responsibilities. We talk about building simple systems to survive the day-to-day, parenting kids who are encouraged to be themselves, and finding a balance between social lives, activities, and family time.We also reflect on how different childhood looks now compared to when we were growing up, especially with how convenience has reshaped social skills and resilience. At the heart of it all, this episode is about showing up for your partner, your kids, and yourself, even when you're still figuring it out.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the New Podcast Studio02:55 Understanding ADD in Relationships05:43 Dividing Responsibilities in Parenting08:47 Managing Overwhelm and Daily Routines11:49 The Importance of Structure and Systems14:46 Encouraging Self-Expression in Children17:58 Navigating Social Interactions with Kids20:43 Balancing Extracurricular Activities23:37 Reflections on Childhood Experiences26:35 The Impact of Convenience on Social Skills29:33 Final Thoughts and EncouragementSubscribe to my weekly reflections on SubstackFollow The Tired Dad on InstagramFollow The Tired Mom on InstagramSubscribe to Youtube Follow on TikTokFollow on FacebookFor partnerships, email collabs@tireddad.com

warmth of the modern space, sat Bram.Nl: Hij staarde naar zijn scherm, gefocust op zijn spreadsheets.En: He stared at his screen, focused on his spreadsheets.Nl: Bram was een methodische projectmanager.En: Bram was a methodical project manager.Nl: Hij hield van orde en structuur.En: He loved order and structure.Nl: Tot nu toe had alles altijd netjes volgens plan verlopen.En: So far,

wekelijkse vergadering sloegen de spanningen over.En: Tensions flared during the weekly meeting.Nl: Bram keek fronsend naar Lies' voorstellen.En: Bram frowned at Lies' proposals.Nl: "We lopen achter,"

plannen voor hun terugkeer naar kantoor.En: They laughed and made plans for their return to the office.Nl: Teruggekomen, vonden ze een beter ritme voor het werk.En: Upon returning, they found a better

n this episode of the Org Design Podcast, recorded live at the Org Design Festival, hosts Tim Brewer and Amy Springer sit down with Shannon Horne, HR leader and transformation specialist, to explore the realities of organizational design inside a global company of 11,000 employees. Shannon shares her journey into org design, the challenges of turning strategy into structure, and why confusion, turnover, and missed ROI often come when org design is treated as an afterthought. She offers practical insights on creating healthier org design cultures—where employees feel secure, leaders are transparent, and talent is repurposed rather than lost. For leaders wondering if they have an org design problem on their hands, Shannon also gives her “friend-to-friend” advice: start with discovery before restructuring, and ask whether the issue is really structure—or something deeper. This episode is packed with real-world transformation lessons and practical tips for executives, HR professionals, and organizational designers who want to avoid chaos and build resilient, people-centered organizations.

Why This Episode Matters:This episode isn't about hacks, gear flexes, or shortcuts. It's about the internal work that makes a long creative life possible. Birocratic opens up about imposter syndrome, optimism, failure, discipline, and the systems he's built to protect his relationship with music.If you've ever felt behind, overwhelmed, scattered, or unsure whether you're doing “enough,” this conversation offers a grounded, human counterpoint to the pressure-filled narrative surrounding modern music careers.Who is Birocratic:Birocratic is a producer and artist known for warm, melodic, feel-good instrumentals that sit at the intersection of lofi, beat music, and instrumental pop. Beyond his catalog, he's a working musician in many forms: producer, bassist, engineer, mixing engineer, and collaborator. In this episode, we hear not just about his music, but how he thinks about building a life that can actually sustain creativity.What We Dive Into:* Being “the dumbest person in the room” and why that's a gift* Playing bass in a band after years as a solo producer* Developing your ear through listening, transcription, and real-time adaptation* Why recording yourself is one of the fastest learning tools* Optimism, accountability, and separating mistakes from identity* The concept of “personal, permanent, and pervasive” thinking* Journaling, reflection, and mental health as creative maintenance* Morning pages, voice memos, and nightly check-ins* Structure as a gateway to freedom and flow* Timers, non-zero days, and realistic consistency* Saying no, setting boundaries, and protecting creative energy* Collaboration versus solitude, and why both matter* Redefining success beyond milestones and external validationThree Key Takeaways:* Growth Lives in Discomfort: Putting yourself in rooms where you're less experienced can be humbling, but it's one of the fastest paths to real development. Being surrounded by people who are better than you isn't a failure. It's an opportunity.* Structure Protects Inspiration: Clean spaces, clear schedules, timers, and reflection aren't constraints. They're what make flow possible. When the basics are handled, your creativity has room to breathe.* Success Is a Series of Good Days: Success isn't one moment or metric. It's built from showing up, doing what you said you'd do, and ending the day feeling aligned. Stack enough of those days, and the bigger picture takes care of itself.Join the ProducerHead CommunityIf you're not subscribed yet, you'll get access to submit your released music for features, send works-in-progress for feedback, plus two free tools: The Invisible Instruments (a collection of ideas to help you in and out of the studio) and Sonic Stimulus Vol. 1 (a sample pack I made specifically for this community).

#304 In this episode, I sit down with Chris Tutella, owner of Tutela Training in Clark, New Jersey, and co creator of Iron Business Blueprint with Joe DeFranco. Chris and I dig into a truth that many gym owners and fitness entrepreneurs need to hear. Most people don't actually have a lead problem. They have a structure problem. We talk about what it really takes to build a profitable, sustainable business without chasing every new tactic, the role mentorship plays in long term success, and why staying in your own lane matters more than ever. One of my favorite parts of this conversation was Chris's honesty. There were no cookie cutter answers. No one size fits all advice. Everything came back to context, clarity, and making decisions based on the unique situation of the person in front of you. If you're tired of feeling behind, overwhelmed, or constantly comparing yourself to others, this conversation will hit home. What we cover in this episode: Why more leads aren't always the answer The importance of simple business structure How mentors actually accelerate growth Staying in your lane and avoiding comparison traps Why there is no universal blueprint for success Making decisions based on your season, goals, and reality.

Every church feels the tension between structure and spontaneity. When we lean too heavily into programs, the organic life of discipleship begins to shrink. When we lean too far into relational ministry without systems, things drift and become unmanageable. Most leaders end up stuck in that constant swing between order and chaos.In this episode, we talk about why that tension exists and why it is not a problem to solve but a balance to steward. Drawing from the Healthy Missional Ecosystem framework, we explore how private missional life, XGroups, LifeGroups, and corporate gatherings are designed to work together as one connected rhythm. Each space carries something essential and when one is neglected, the whole mission suffers.This conversation will help pastors and leaders see why healthy churches are not built by choosing between structure and Spirit but by creating an environment where both can thrive. When the ecosystem is aligned, disciples are formed, mission stays active, and the church grows without losing its soul.
Join Kasey Olander, Sam Won and Rebecca Carrell as they explore why the church needs to recover the lost art of lament by showing how biblical lament serves as a vital tool for navigating loss while affirming the compatibility of deep grief and Christian hope Time codes: 9:52 Misconceptions About Grief in the Church 18:16 The Structure of a Lament Psalm 22:23 The Honesty of Biblical Lament 24:41 How to Grieve With Those Who Grieve 35:35 The Pressure to Mask vs. The Compassion of Christ 43:12 Lament as a Theological Mirror 45:17 Sufferers are Marginalized 47:29 What we Should Learn from Lament Learn more about your ad choices.

https://teachhoops.com/ Making practice better starts with the elimination of "dead time" and the transition toward a high-engagement, high-intensity workflow. In many traditional settings, players spend far too much time standing in lines or listening to lengthy lectures, which leads to mental fatigue and a drop in physical conditioning. To revolutionize your sessions, every minute must be accounted for on a detailed practice plan that prioritizes "multi-skill" drills—exercises that combine conditioning, ball handling, and decision-making simultaneously. By keeping the energy high from the initial whistle and utilizing a "staccato" rhythm where segments change every 8 to 12 minutes, you create an environment that mirrors the fast-paced nature of a live game, keeping players focused and invested in the process. A second pillar of improving practice quality is the intentional shift toward "Games-Based Learning" and situational play. While block practice has its place for teaching raw mechanics, the most significant jumps in "Basketball IQ" occur when players are forced to solve problems in real-time. Instead of running a 5-on-0 weave, implement "small-sided games" like 3-on-3 with specific constraints, such as "no dribbling" or "must touch the post before a shot." This forces athletes to read the defense, communicate through screens, and understand spacing in a way that isolated drills cannot replicate. When you keep score for every segment and turn every drill into a mini-competition, you naturally raise the accountability of the group, ensuring that "game speed" becomes the standard rather than the exception. Finally, making practice better requires a commitment to consistent evaluation and post-practice reflection. Use the mid-season months of January and February to film segments of your practice, allowing you to see which drills are producing results and which are causing confusion. Shared film sessions with players can turn a "practice mistake" into a valuable teaching moment, bridging the gap between a coach's instructions and a player's execution. Additionally, listen to your "culture carriers" and be willing to adapt your intensity based on the team's physical and mental state. By balancing rigorous discipline with a willingness to keep things fresh through new challenges and AI-driven insights, you ensure that your gym remains a place where players are excited to compete and improve every single day.

This conversation explores the fascinating intersection of math, physics, and art, highlighting how these disciplines inform and inspire one another. Dr. Ronald Gamble discusses his journey as a theoretical physicist and artist, emphasizing the importance of recognizing patterns in nature and the role of creativity in scientific discovery. The dialogue delves into various topics, including the significance of symmetry in physics, the visualization of complex concepts like black holes and gravitational waves, and the influence of mathematical principles on artistic expression. Ultimately, the conversation underscores the idea that art and science are deeply interconnected, each enhancing the understanding and appreciation of the other.Takeaways Inspiration is pattern recognition. Math serves as a language to describe physics. Art and physics both seek to decode patterns in the universe. Studying nature can enhance understanding of physics concepts. Creativity is essential in theoretical physics. Symmetry plays a crucial role in understanding the universe. Art can influence scientific thought and vice versa.Chapters 00:00 The Intersection of Math, Physics, and Art 03:57 Finding Inspiration in Nature 06:16 The Art of Storytelling in Physics 08:31 Patterns in Nature and Art 10:13 The Influence of Physics on Art 12:23 Understanding Symmetry in Physics 16:46 Exploring Black Holes and Particle Physics 21:03 The Role of Tessellations in Physics 25:24 Celebrating Scientific Collaborations 27:24 The Art of Tessellation and Structure 29:06 The Power of Minimalism in Art and Science 31:05 Exploring Black Holes and Gravitational Waves 38:59 The Artistic Journey into Physics CourseFollow Ron on Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Bluesky, and find his website.Subscribe to Breaking Math wherever you get your podcasts.Follow Breaking Math on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website, YouTube, TikTokFollow Autumn on Twitter, BlueSky, and InstagramBecome a guest hereemail: breakingmathpodcast@gmail.com
In late 1916, while treating a group of patients at his psychiatric clinic at the University of Vienna, Dr. Constantin von Economo began noticing the appearance of strange symptoms that he could not account for. At the same time, in France, Rene Cruchet began noticing similarly strange and unexpected symptoms in his patients. Though the two men had never met and knew nothing of one another's patients, they would come to learn they were both witnessing the emergence of a new mysterious disease that would soon affect millions of people around the world.The illnesses documented by von Economo and Cruchet would eventually come to be know as encephalitis lethargica, or sleeping sickness, a strange condition that caused profound lethargy, hypersomnia, and a wide range of other frightening symptoms. Between 1919 and the early 1930s, millions of people all around the world contracted the illness, with nearly half of all cases resulting in death, and many more suffering long-term effects; yet a cause of the illness has never been established and the terrifying epidemic appears to have faded from memory not long after the disease itself ostensibly disappeared.

Fuel Her Awesome: Food Freedom, Body Love, Intuitive Eating & Nutrition Coaching
Macros, Microbes, Mindset — and What Comes Next If you're ready for a different kind of January — an invitation Over the last few episodes, we've talked about why so many smart, motivated women feel stuck with food — even when they're “doing everything right.” We've unpacked: Why macros alone don't create peace How your gut microbiome influences cravings, energy, and metabolism Why willpower fails when the nervous system doesn't feel safe And how emotional and physiological triggers often get mislabeled as “lack of discipline” In this episode, we zoom out and bring it all together — because empowered eating isn't about choosing one approach. It's about integration. What Empowered Eating Really Means Empowered eating lives at the intersection of three things: 1. Values Sustainable nutrition starts with knowing what matters most to you. Not Instagram's definition of health. Not rigid rules. But your values — family, faith, energy, longevity, joy, impact. When health goals align with values, consistency feels meaningful instead of forced. 2. Biofeedback Your body is constantly communicating through: Hunger and fullness Cravings Energy and mood Digestion and stress responses These signals aren't obstacles to overcome — they're data to interpret. When we learn to listen instead of override, the nervous system settles, clarity increases, and change becomes sustainable. 3. Nutrition Science Science still matters. Fuel matters. Structure matters. But nutrition science works best when it's applied in context — alongside your biology, your nervous system, and your real life. Macros, gut health, hormones, and metabolism are tools — not moral scorecards. The Big Takeaway Empowered eating isn't about control. It's about partnership. When values guide the direction, biofeedback provides the information, and nutrition science offers the tools — food stops being the fight, and health becomes a platform instead of a pressure point.

They break down the two-phase process: land entitlement (securing approvals for forced appreciation) and horizontal development (infrastructure like roads and utilities for ready-to-build lots). Brandon reveals how to mitigate risks via pre-sold contracts with national builders (e.g., Lennar, D.R. Horton), structure deals with 18% preferred returns and 65% LTC debt, and capitalize on current market freezes. From Tennessee's cyclical opportunities to biohacking for peak performance (cold plunges, green smoothies, sleep optimization), discover why development offers multiple exits and legacy-building potential—perfect for diversifying beyond multifamily amid rising rates.Brandon Cobb is the CEO of HBG Capital, a real estate development and investment firm specializing in single-family residential projects.

On this solo episode:Stacey dismantles the “New Year, New You” myth, arguing that motivation, goals, and good intentions fail because they attempt to change behavior without changing structure or identity.Key Takeaways:-Motivation is emotional and execution is structural.-You don't rise to your goals. You fall back to your identity.-Structure is not restrictive. It's liberating.Tweetable Quotes:"January doesn't change you. Motivation doesn't change you. Goals don't change you. And if you're relying on any of those to create real change, you're already behind." -Stacey O'Byrne"People don't fail all at once. It starts with a motivation spike… then overcommitment… then life shows up… then self-judgment. The behavior didn't fail. The structure was never there to hold it.." -Stacey O'Byrne"If your goals require daily motivation or constant self-control, they will fail. Not because you're weak.

Many fitness professionals struggle to scale because they rely on hustle, one-on-one sessions, and inconsistent marketing. Others break through by installing clear systems, simplifying their offers, and structuring their lifestyle around the identity they want to build. In this episode of The Better Than Rich Show, host Mike Abramowitz sits down with Sean Garner, performance coach, creator of the Online Trainer Mentorship, and former Men's Health Top Trainer. Sean explains why most trainers burn out, how to transition from technician to entrepreneur, and why clarity, structure, and identity work matter more than raw motivation. He breaks down his frameworks for simplifying operations, eliminating overwhelm, and building a business that supports rather than consumes the entrepreneur. From online coaching systems to content workflows to daily habits, Sean shares the exact levers that shift a business from chaos to consistency. You'll learn practical strategies for offer creation, lead nurture, automation, and operational focus, along with deeper insight into fatherhood, leadership, and personal discipline. Sean's approach brings together business systems and personal mastery to create sustainable, meaningful growth. Timestamps [00:00] Introducing Sean Garner and his background in fitness and entrepreneurship [02:15] From personal trainer to online business mentor [04:50] Why most fitness pros fail to scale [07:18] Offer clarity: simplifying services to reduce overwhelm [10:43] Systems that replace hustle: onboarding, fulfillment, and content [13:58] Building a business that supports your lifestyle goals [17:34] Identity work: who you must become to grow [20:45] Leadership and team development in small service businesses [24:12] Automation for communication, scheduling, and client delivery [28:20] The power of repeatable frameworks in fitness and business [31:40] Family priorities, fatherhood, and designing a values-driven life [35:22] Morning routines, discipline, and personal productivity [38:55] Avoiding burnout and staying aligned with long-term vision [42:10] Content creation principles for coaches and educators [46:33] Why simplicity wins: reducing decisions and friction points [49:55] Lessons from coaching hundreds of fitness entrepreneurs [53:12] What it means to live “Better Than Rich” [55:40] Where to connect with Sean and next steps for listeners Key Quotes “Confusion kills momentum. Clarity is the greatest competitive advantage for any entrepreneur.” “If you don't build systems, your business owns you. If you do, the business becomes a tool for freedom.” “Identity drives behavior. Until you become the person who can run the business you want, you'll sabotage it.” “Simplicity is the real unlock. Most coaches aren't failing from lack of effort, but from complexity.” “Your business should support your family, not steal from it.” Key Takeaways Simplify your offer so clients understand it and you can deliver it consistently. Build repeatable systems for onboarding, fulfillment, communication, and content. Automate low-value tasks so you can focus on coaching and relationship building. Identity and habits matter more than tactics; personal alignment accelerates growth. Content strategy should be systematic, not reactive. Growth requires letting go of the technician mindset and stepping fully into leadership. Structure your business around the life and family you want, not the other way around.

What happens after the deal closes is the question too few founders ask. In this conversation on Your N.E.X.T., Jerome Myers sits down again with Dr. Michelle Fritsch to explore why even highly successful founders feel lost, disconnected, or unprepared after exiting their businesses. Together, they unpack the often-ignored realities of post-exit life—identity loss, health decline, strained relationships, and the myth that money alone creates fulfillment. The conversation also introduces the thinking behind the Exit Ready Summit, a boardroom-style experience designed to help founders prepare not just financially, but personally, relationally, and purposefully for life beyond the business. [00:00 – 07:00] | The Question Founders Avoid Most founders ask when to exit, not who they'll be afterExits are transformational portals, not just transactions Identity loss is the biggest blind spot in exit planning [07:01 – 14:00] | Why Health Is the First Domino Burnout is often a biological warning, not a mindset failure Chronic stress erodes decision-making long before exits occur Founders often sacrifice sleep, recovery, and relationships to “push through” [14:01 – 21:00] | The Myth That Money Fixes Everything Financial readiness does not replace identity or purposeWealth without structure can magnify loneliness and confusion Time and talent atrophy without intentional direction [21:01 – 28:00] | The Identity Vacuum After the Exit Many founders experience cognitive fog and loss of relevance Structure disappears overnight, leaving emotional free-fall Divorce and relationship breakdowns often spike post-exit [28:01 – 35:00] | Why Purpose Cannot Be an Afterthought Exiting from a business is not the same as exiting to something meaningful Lack of purpose leads to isolation, depression, and disengagement Relationships that once defined daily life often disappear post-exit [35:01 – 42:00] | Who the Exit Ready Summit Is—and Is Not—For Designed for founders who want clarity, not just liquidity Not for those unwilling to be vulnerable or self-reflective Small, boardroom setting enables real conversations Key Quotes “Relevance is one of the first things founders quietly grieve after they exit.” - Dr. Michelle Fritsch Burnout is not a mindset problem.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. 15 years ago, I remember being excited to find Ian Fleming's explanation of how to write a thriller. I saved the text of that article from the Internet directly into Evernote. As I look back, I think that is probably my favourite piece of text that I've saved in my notes over the years. This morning I did a little experiment. I asked Gemini what Ian Fleming‘s advice is for writing a thriller. Within seconds, Gemini gave me not only the original text but also a summary and bullet points of the main points. Does this mean that many of the things we have traditionally saved in our digital notes today are no longer needed? I'm not so sure. It's this and many similar uses of our digital note-taking applications that may no longer be necessary And that nicely brings me on to this week's topic, and that means it's time for me to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Ricardo. Ricardo asks, Could you discuss more about note-taking in your podcast, as I have difficulties regarding how to collect and store what's important? Hi Ricardo. Thank you for your question. When digital note-taking apps began appearing on our mobile phones around 2009, they were a revelation. Prior to this innovation, we carried around notebooks and collected our thoughts, meeting notes and plans in them. Yet, given our human frailties, most of these notebooks were lost, and even if they were not, it was difficult to find the right notebook with the right notes. Some people were good at storing these. Many journalists and scientists were excellent at keeping these records organised. As were many artists. And we are very lucky that they did because many years later, those notebooks are still available to us. You can see Charles Darwin's and Isaac Newton's notebooks today. Many of which are kept at the Athenaeum Club in London, and others are in museums around the world. It was important in the days before the Internet to keep these notebooks safe. They contained original thoughts, scientific processes and information that, as in Charles Darwin's and Isaac Newton's case, would later form part of a massive scientific breakthrough. Darwin's journey on HMS Beagle was a defining moment in scientific history. It provided the raw data and observations that would eventually lead to his theory of evolution by natural selection. That was published some twenty years after his journey in his book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. During Darwin's five-year journey around the world, he filled 15 field notebooks with observations and sketches—these were roughly the same size as the iconic Field Notes pocket notebooks you can buy today. Additionally, he kept several Geological Specimen Notebooks. These were slightly larger than his field notes notebooks. He used these primarily to catalogue the fossils and rocks he collected Darwin also kept a large journal during his travels, which he used to record data and incidents. These were all original thoughts and observations. Today, all that information is freely available on the internet and, of course, in books. What's more, with AI tools such as Gemini and ChatGPT, finding this information today is easy. I, like many people today, rarely use internet searches for information. I simply ask Gemini. This means there's no point in saving this information in my digital notes. All my searches are saved within the Gemini app, as they are in ChatGPT and Claude. But your original thoughts, ideas and project notes are unique. It's these you want to keep in your digital notes. Much like Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton wrote down their thoughts and observations, your thoughts, observations and ideas should be collected and stored. When Darwin travelled on the Beagle, he was 22 years old. When he published The Origin of Species, he was 45. And perhaps, like Darwin, not all your ideas today will have an immediate practical purpose. But if you don't keep them, they never will. This is why it's important to keep them where you can find them later. And that's where our digital tools today are so much better than the paper notebooks we kept. We can find anything, any time, from any digital device we have on hand. I remember reading Leonardo Da Vinci's biography, and he often travelled to other parts of Italy. If he needed to reference a note he had made—and he made copious notes—and he did not have the right notebook with him on his travels, it would have taken him days to retrieve the information. We don't have that problem today. So, when it comes to collecting, be ruthless in what you keep. I have a notebook in my notes app called “Suppliers”. This is where I store the names of the companies I regularly buy things from. For example, I get my clothing from several preferred retailers. I buy my woollen jumpers (sweaters) from Cordings of Piccadilly. In the note I have for Cordings, are my sizes and the website address. This makes it easy for me to find what I am looking for and order. I use Apple's Password app to store my login details, so once I have found what I want, I can order it very quickly. Amazon makes this even easier with a “Buy It Again” section, so if I am running low on Yorkshire Tea, I go to Amazon, click Buy It Again, and within a few seconds, I see Yorkshire Tea and can order straight away. Ten years ago, I kept all that information in my notes. Today, I don't bother as it's faster to go directly to Amazon. Another use I have for my digital notes is to keep all my client meeting notes. Each week, I will have around fifteen to twenty calls with clients, and I keep notes for each call as I write feedback, which I send to the client after the call. These are unique notes, and each one will be different, so using the Darwin/Newton principle—keeping thoughts, ideas and observations in your notes—they will be kept in my notes in a notebook called “clients”. What's great about this is I have over eight years' worth of client notes in Evernote, which feed ideas for future content as they're directly relatable to real experiences and difficulties. Another useful note to have in your notes is something called an “Anchor Note”. This is a note where you keep critical information you may need at any particular time. For example, I keep all the subscriber links to my various websites there, which can be quickly copied and pasted whenever needed. I also have the Korean Immigration office website there, since it's not easy to find, and I only need it every 3 or 4 years. Depending on how security-conscious you are, you can also keep your Social Security and driving license numbers there, too. How you organise your notes depends on you and how your brain works. However, the more complex your organisational system, the slower you will be at finding what you need. Now this is where computers come into their own. Whether you use Apple, Google or Microsoft, all these companies have built incredible search functionality into the core of their systems. This means as long as you give your note a title that means something to you, you will be able to find it in five or ten years' time. I remember once my wife asked me for a password to a Korean website I had not used in ten years or more. I couldn't remember it, and I didn't have the password stored in my old password manager, 1Password. As a long shot, I typed the name of the website into Evernote—the note-taking app I've been using for almost fifteen years—and within a second, the website with my login details was on my screen. If I'd tried to find that information by going through my notebooks and tags, I would never have found it. I let Evernote handle the hard work, and it did so superbly. However, that said, there is something about having some basic structure to your notes. I use a structure I call GAPRA. GAPRA stands for Goals, Areas of Focus, Projects, Resources and Archive. It's loosely based on Tiago Forte's PARA method. I find having separate places for my goals, areas of focus and projects makes it easier for me to navigate things when I am creating a note. My goals section is for tracking data. For instance, if I were losing weight, I would record my weight each week there. My areas of focus notebook is where I keep my definitions of my areas and what they mean to me, and it gives me a single place to review these every six months. My project notebook is where I keep all my notes for my current projects. The biggest notebook I have, though, is my resources notebook. This is a catch-all for everything else. My supplier's notebook is there, as is information about different cities I travel to or may travel to in the future. As I look at that notebook now, Paris is the note that has the most information. (Although Osaka in Japan is getting close to it) I also have places to visit in Korea that I keep for when my mother visits—which she does every year—so I can build a different itinerary for her each year. The archive is for old notes. I'm not by nature a hoarder, but I do find it reassuring that anything I have created is still there and still searchable. And that's it, Ricardo. You don't need to keep anything that is findable on the internet or in AI; that's duplication. But what I would highly recommend you keep are your original ideas, thoughts, and meeting notes (even if they are being summarised by AI. How AI interprets what's been said is not always what was meant) And if, like me, you prefer to take handwritten notes, you can scan them into your digital notes app so you have a quick reference even if you don't have your paper notebook with you. I hope that helps, and thank you for your question, Ricardo. And thank you to you, too, for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

Before she was charged, Sarah Grace Patrick delivered a funeral eulogy for her mother and stepfather. They are the same two people she now stands accused of killing. This episode returns to that speech as an early piece of evidence in a case that is now heading for trial.This is a focused update, not on courtroom proceedings, but on a public statement made before the legal process began. Jack examines how Sarah Grace Patrick framed their deaths, in her own words, before the arrest, before the lawyers, before the strategy.The eulogy was prepared. It was deliberate. And in many ways, it may reveal what mattered most to her at the time. Structure, emphasis, and omission become central.The trial has been delayed. But the core question remains. Did she do it? And if she did, why did she do it?This episode does not answer that question. It brings forward the original words and asks what they show us about Sarah Grace Patrick's understanding of what had happened — and what may already have shifted inside her.Want more from Never A Truer Word?

Most people find the Old Testament confusing, dusty, or even intimidating. But what if it's actually the essential foundation for everything you believe about Jesus Christ? Today, we unlock the "Library of Books" that makes up the first half of our scripture and discover why it is the indispensable foundation of the covenant. Summary: In this introductory lesson, we lay the groundwork for a year-long journey through the Old Testament. We move beyond seeing it as a singular book and begin to view it as a diverse library of 39 books. Key themes include: The Foundation of the Covenant: Understanding why the Old Testament is the root from which the New Testament, Book of Mormon, and Doctrine and Covenants grow. Structure and Organization: A breakdown of the Hebrew Bible (the Tanakh) and its three parts: the Torah (Law), Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings). The Power of Translation: Exploring how the Bible moved from Hebrew to Greek to English, and why the Joseph Smith Translation is vital for our study. Finding Christ in the Old Testament: Moving past the "dead letter" to see the "living spirit" of the Messiah on every page. Call-to-Action: Which book of the Old Testament has always felt the most "sealed" to you? Let us know in the comments, and let's commit to opening it together this year!
