What if the key to reducing chronic pain, improving mobility, sleeping better, and even slowing the effects of aging has been hiding in plain sight? In this fascinating episode of The Girlfriend Doctor Podcast, Dr. Anna Cabeca welcomes back naturopathic physician and quantum biology expert Dr. Catherine Clinton, author of Optimize, for a deep dive into one of the body's most overlooked healing systems: fascia. Together, they explore why fascia has been called the body's "Cinderella organ"—overworked, underappreciated, and essential for healthy movement, energy production, nervous system regulation, and longevity. Dr. Clinton explains how chronic stress, trauma, inflammation, hydration, mitochondrial function, and even our thoughts influence this remarkable connective tissue network. Dr. Anna also shares her personal journey through PTSD, insomnia, heart coherence, equine therapy, and a profound experience with dry fasting that transformed her understanding of the body's electrical nature and healing potential. You'll discover practical ways to support your fascia and nervous system through movement, light exposure, hydration, gratitude, circadian rhythms, and simple daily habits that help your body shift from survival mode into true healing. Whether you're dealing with frozen shoulder, stiff joints, chronic inflammation, autoimmune challenges, burnout, or simply want to optimize your health as you age, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on the future of medicine—one that begins by helping the body feel safe enough to heal. Key Timestamps 00:00 – Why frozen shoulder, joint pain and stiffness may be connected to fascia 04:45 – Trauma, chronic stress, inflammation and the nervous system 11:50 – Heart coherence, gratitude and retraining the brain for healing 18:10 – Can the body truly heal if it doesn't feel safe? 23:20 – Dr. Anna's equine therapy experience and what horses reveal about our nervous system 31:10 – What fascia really is—and why it's far more than connective tissue 39:30 – Piezoelectricity: how fascia generates the body's electrical energy 49:15 – Why hydration, mitochondria and movement keep fascia healthy 58:30 – Structured water, minerals and optimizing cellular hydration 1:09:20 – Daily habits for optimizing energy, longevity and healing through quantum biology 1:17:30 – Final takeaways: reconnecting with nature, joy and the body's innate healing intelligence Memorable Quotes Dr. Catherine Clinton: "Trauma really is defined by anything the system can't handle. It's not the event—it's what overwhelms the system." Dr. Catherine Clinton: "The body needs to feel safe before it can shift into rest, repair, and healing." Dr. Catherine Clinton: "Pain, inflammation, and disease can be viewed as a loss of electrical charge within the body." Dr. Catherine Clinton: "Movement hydrates fascia. When fascia is hydrated, it glides, communicates, and generates electrical energy more effectively." Dr. Catherine Clinton: "Each relationship we build with nature is an invitation back to safety, resilience, and healing." Dr. Anna Cabeca: "Healing is so much bigger than chasing symptoms." Dr. Anna Cabeca: "Your energy doesn't lie. You may think you're holding it together, but your body tells the truth." Dr. Anna Cabeca: "If it brings you joy, you're on the right track." Dr. Anna Cabeca: "Investing in your physical health is investing in your physical wealth." Dr. Anna Cabeca: "Don't be overwhelmed. Just choose one next right step toward healing."

In this episode of Nursing EDge Unscripted, host Dr. Raquel Bertiz and Dr. Kellie Bryant welcome Dr. Jasline Moreno to discuss Objective Structured Teaching Encounters (OSTEs) and their growing role in nursing education. Dr. Moreno explains how OSTEs provide simulation educators with structured opportunities to practice teaching, receive feedback, and strengthen essential facilitation, prebriefing, and debriefing skills in a psychologically safe environment. The conversation explores common challenges faced by novice simulation educators, including the transition from clinical expert to effective facilitator, and how OSTEs help bridge gaps in educator development. Dr. Moreno also shares practical insights into designing and implementing OSTEs, including the use of standardized learners, peer evaluation, and virtual delivery models. The episode concludes with a discussion of the future potential of OSTEs as a competency-based workforce development strategy that can enhance educator preparation, leadership development, and healthcare practice across a variety of settings.Dedicated to excellence in nursing, the National League for Nursing is the leading organization for nurse faculty and leaders in nursing education.

A business can look profitable. The broker can call it “SBA pre-qualified.” The numbers can seem solid. And the deal can still be a disaster waiting to happen. Because financing doesn’t just help you buy a business. Structured badly, it can trap you in a deal that should never have closed in the first place. Ami Kassar has seen what happens when buyers get this wrong. One e-commerce acquisition he discusses was built around a single product. Just weeks after the transaction closed, a better product hit the market. The business was dead. And that’s only one version of the risk. Buyers jump into industries they’ve never operated in. They rely too heavily on one product, one supplier, or one sales channel. They treat lender pre-qualifications like guarantees. They rush because a seller wants to close fast. Or they take expensive “easy money” because speed feels more important than structure. That’s where deals get dangerous. In this episode, Jaryd sits down with Ami Kassar to unpack what buyers need to understand before taking on acquisition debt — from why SBA pre-qualifications may mean far less than you think, to what lenders actually look for in you and the business you’re buying. They break down how to improve your fundability before the right deal appears, why post-close liquidity matters, when seller involvement can help get a transaction financed, and why working capital should be part of the conversation before you ever sign on the dotted line. But the bigger lesson goes beyond getting approved. Ami believes the smartest financing strategy is the one that gives you maximum flexibility — because the goal isn’t to build the biggest portfolio, take on the most leverage, or grow at a pace that destroys your sleep. It’s to structure a deal you can actually live with.
Battlefield medicine is as much an enabler and force multiplier as good logistics. Whilst this is acknowledged by many, including those in the US Army, there is a peculiar absence of consideration for Battlefield Health in selection and development of its new command and control system. Major General (retired) Edward Dorman, a proven combat leader and master logistician, digs into what is needed for medical C2 as an operational consideration in the future, about which lessons are relevant from both US experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan and from partners experiences in Ukraine and wider contemporary conflict. Structured data alone is not the answer, neither is agentic AI, Large Language Models, or boutique systems. The conversation has a realism about Battlefield Medicine and Healthcare that has been absent for too long.

In Episode 212 of the Equipping ELLs podcast, Beth Vaucher opens the practical application series with the domain she believes has the single biggest impact on language acquisition — and the one most ELL classrooms are still not doing enough of. Not speaking in general. Not asking a question and hoping someone answers. Structured, intentional, daily speaking practice designed to work for every student at every language level in the room.Beth opens with something every ELL teacher will recognize — the moment you build speaking time into a lesson, give students a prompt, say "talk to your partner," and watch higher-level students carry the conversation while lower-level students nod along or wait for it to be over. She names the actual problem clearly: it was not the speaking practice that failed. It was the structure. And she lays down the foundational principle that runs through the entire episode: structure is not a limitation on speaking. It is the condition for speaking.For ELL students at Stages 1 through 3, the reason they do not speak is almost never that they have nothing to say. It is that they do not yet have the language to say it. Sentence frames, conversation cards, and talk moves give students the bridge from their idea to the English words to express it. That bridge — not the idea itself — is what structured speaking activities provide.Beth walks through five activities in depth. Sentence frame partner talk is the most versatile entry point — a four-step protocol that takes three to four minutes, can be used at any point in a lesson, and reaches every level through tiered frames. Beth adds two specific techniques that dramatically increase quality: whisper time before partner time, and deliberately varying partners rather than defaulting to whoever is sitting nearby.Think-pair-share with the ELL upgrade goes beyond the standard protocol by adding a sentence starter for the share-out — "My partner said blank and I agreed because" or "My partner said blank and I had a different idea because." This elevates the linguistic demand from repetition to paraphrasing and synthesizing, which is some of the most important academic language development possible.Numbered Heads Together — a Kagan cooperative learning structure — solves the accountability problem in partner and group talk. Every student gets a number, every student must be ready to share, and the discussion within the group prepares ELL students to share out with confidence rather than being cold-called. Paired with a share-out sentence frame it gives lower-level students the exact structure they need to participate in front of the class.Academic conversation cards shift speaking from answering questions to genuinely engaging with another person's ideas — building on, respectfully disagreeing, asking for clarification. Beth identifies this as one of the most overlooked and most important language functions for academic language development, noting that even adult learners need explicit structures to do this well.The five-minute daily speaking routine is Beth's highest-impact recommendation — not a specific activity but a consistent daily structure that starts every session the same way. A picture prompt on the board, a sentence frame, thirty seconds of whisper time, partner talk, and a brief share-out. Members of Equipping ELLs consistently report this routine as one of the biggest drivers of language growth because consistency compounds over time. Routine beats variety for language acquisition.FREE CHALLENGE: equippingells.com/challenge or DM CHALLENGE to @EquippingELLs. Includes speaking activity templates and over $100 in free resources.
Subscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupThis week on All Killer No Filler, we're giving you a preview of Agency Confidential, the new podcast from our co-founder Jeff, and this episode's is a truly killer.Jeff sits down with Nick Shackelford, who's everywhere in DTC. Three agencies (Structured, Konstant, Lucid), an events business, and a decade of showing up on every feed, stage, and group chat. Jeff calls him the Coca-Cola of ecommerce. Eric calls him the Drake of DTC.But halfway through, Nick stops and shares something he says he's never told publicly. Last July, cash got tight and he had to bridge the gap on one of his companies. Not with a loan or a raise, but by getting paid as a public agency owner to talk about SaaS products. Ten years of being a face turned into a cash-flow lever almost no other owner has.Then it gets stranger. That same decade of posts and videos is now training data for every LLM on earth. Ask ChatGPT or Claude about DTC agencies and Nick, Structured, Konstant, and Geek Out all come up. A personal brand he built to win deal flow quietly became free distribution in a channel that didn't exist when he started.They get into the real cost of being the face, why building a faceless brand (like DTC and Pilothouse) trades built-in pull for durability, AI in the agency space, and why Nick thinks the market's about to splinter back into specialists.What they cover:The never-shared story of how Nick bridged a cash-flow gap in a rough monthWhy a personal brand is a lever most agency owners don't haveHow ten years of content became free distribution in AI searchThe real cost and risk of being the face of your agencyFace vs. faceless: durability, transferability, and selling the businessWhere Nick thinks the agency market is heading in 2026Who this is for: Agency owners, DTC operators, and founders weighing whether to build in public or build something that doesn't hinge on one person's face.Catch the preview here, and if you like it, go subscribe to Agency Confidential for the full episode.Timestamps:00:00 Nick Shackelford on building agencies and personal brands02:19 How Nick built three agencies and scaled operations11:59 Why AI is changing agency work and client communication27:56 How a personal brand became a business advantage39:18 Why AI will bring back specialized agenciesSubscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupAdvertise on DTC - https://dtcnews.link/advertiseWork with Pilothouse - https://dtcnews.link/pilothousehttps://www.pilothouse.co/?utm_source=AKNF627Follow us on Instagram & Twitter - @dtcnewsletterWatch this interview on YouTube - https://dtcnews.link/video
⚠️ Hidden Assets Can Ruin Your Divorce Settlement! | Los Angeles Divorce ⚠️ Hidden or undisclosed assets can dramatically affect the fairness of a divorce settlement. California law requires both spouses to fully disclose all income, property, debts, and financial accounts. Failing to identify hidden assets may result in an inequitable division or disputes later, making thorough financial transparency essential.
In this powerful episode, Amanda Rose of The Rose Channel returns to share the extraordinary near death experience that transformed her from a woman trapped in an abusive relationship into a fearless public speaker and voice for voluntaryism. Amanda recounts leaving her body in 2014 during a moment of deep trauma, merging with source consciousness, and experiencing herself as a massive dragon flying above the earth, feeling infinite parental love for all of humanity. She explains how that spiritual catalyst stripped away her fear, insecurities, and old programming, ultimately leading her to Larken Rose and to the stage, where audiences could not believe her first talk was her first. The conversation goes deep into the nature of love versus hate, the origins of evil, the danger of simmering in vengeance, and why she believes the desire for dominion over others is the true dividing line between heaven and hell. Amanda also shares practical wisdom from her new ebook, Awaken Your Dragon: A Guide to Becoming a Confident, Commanding Public Speaker, a workbook that teaches you to rewire negative thought patterns, silence imposter syndrome, and unlock your authentic voice. The book is available on Amazon for $19.95, or you can purchase it directly from Amanda by emailing roseresources@protonmail.com. Plus, get the details on Approaching Humanity, the first ever live event hosted by Amanda and Larken Rose, happening Saturday, July 18th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Sedona Performing Arts Center in Sedona, Arizona.

In this episode, I'm talking about why so many attempts to change your relationship with food seem to fizzle out, even when you're motivated and genuinely want things to be different. Because constantly starting over doesn't mean you're lazy, uncommitted, or missing some magical piece of information. We're digging into the deeper reasons certain behaviors stick around, what they may actually be doing for you, and why curiosity is often far more helpful than criticism. This conversation goes beyond meal plans and motivation and gets into the questions that most people never think to ask. Quotes "We don't lead with the question, what do we do about this? We lead with the question, what is this actually all about? It's the question that changes everything when someone is really willing to look at it, because the answer is usually not what you think it is." "Most of us are so focused on fixing the behavior that we haven't stopped to ask what the behavior is doing." "The reason change feels so hard isn't because you're weak; it's because something would have to be given up if you changed. Meaning, if the behavior is protective in some way, shape, or form, it's providing something for you." "You don't need to know the answer yet. The key is starting to think about this and removing the blame that we're pointing at ourselves and starting to ask questions." "Sometimes this isn't something that you can do alone, and that's where you might need a real person like a therapist or a dietician. Sometimes we need people who can see the patterns that we're too close to see." Frequently Asked Questions Why do I keep failing when I try to change my eating habits? Repeatedly struggling with food does not necessarily mean you lack motivation or discipline. Many behaviors serve a purpose, and understanding what they are providing can help create lasting change. Why do I sabotage myself around food? What feels like self-sabotage is often a protective pattern. Behaviors around food may be helping you cope with emotions, stress, shame, or fear, even when those behaviors are no longer serving you well. Why is giving up dieting so scary? For many people, dieting feels tied to safety, control, belonging, or fear of weight gain. Letting go of those rules can bring up emotions and beliefs that deserve attention and support. What does fear of weight gain really mean? Fear of weight gain often goes beyond the number on the scale. It can be connected to shame, past experiences, fears of rejection, or beliefs about worth and acceptance. Why do I feel stuck between wanting recovery and wanting to stay the same? Feeling pulled in two directions is called ambivalence, and it is a normal part of recovery. Having conflicting feelings does not mean you're doing anything wrong. Does structured eating help with disordered eating? Structured eating provides consistency and helps create a foundation for healing. Many people benefit from eating regularly throughout the day rather than relying on hunger cues alone in the early stages of recovery. Do I need a therapist or a dietitian for eating disorder recovery? Support can be helpful when you're too close to your own patterns to see them clearly. A therapist or dietitian can help you understand what is driving your behaviors and provide practical tools for recovery. Resources Be sure to sign up for my weekly newsletter!

In this episode of Future Finance, Paul Barnhurst and Glenn Hopper sit down with Nick Jain and Daniel Settel, co-founders of Eagle Rock CFO, to discuss how AI is reshaping FP&A and fractional CFO services. Nick and Dan explain how their AI-powered system combines structured data processing, automation, and financial expertise to help companies analyze complex financial data faster, reduce manual workload, and uncover hidden value in their operations.Dan and Nick are co-founders of Eagle Rock CFO, a financial advisory firm helping mid-size businesses grow faster and improve profitability. They combine AI and technology to deliver operational finance insights at a fraction of traditional consulting costs. Both are Harvard Business School graduates, with undergraduate degrees from Stanford and Dartmouth. Dan previously co-founded FinTech company Zanbato and worked as a professional investor at PrimeCap, while Nick has experience in private equity investing and scaling companies across SaaS, footwear, and trucking.In this episode, you will discover:AI works best when paired with structured financial data, not raw inputsWhy deterministic systems still matter alongside AI in finance workflowsHow Eagle Rock's 5-step system improves financial analysis accuracyWhy human oversight is still needed in AI-powered FP&A systemsHow fractional CFOs can save 20–50 hours per month using AI toolsNick and Daniel demonstrate how AI is transforming finance by automating analysis while still relying on structured systems and human judgment. Their approach shows that the future of FP&A is not fully autonomous AI, but a hybrid model where AI enhances decision-making, improves efficiency, and strengthens financial visibility.Follow Nick:Website: https://www.eaglerockcfo.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickmjain/Follow Dan:Website: https://www.eaglerockcfo.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dsettel/Follow Glenn:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gbhopperiiiFollow Paul:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thefpandaguyFollow QFlow.AI:Website - https://bit.ly/4i1EkjgFuture Finance is sponsored by QFlow.ai, the strategic finance platform solving the toughest part of planning and analysis: B2B revenue.

Indeed increased AI coding tool adoption from roughly 25% to 97% across its engineering organization, but getting engineers to use the tools was only part of the challenge.In this session from DX Annual, Michael Redding, Principal Product Manager, and Jeff Davis, VP of Core Infrastructure at Indeed, explain how the company used structured training, leadership support, and ongoing community engagement to help more than 2,000 engineers build practical AI skills. They share why an early train-the-trainer model fell short, how they redesigned their approach around hands-on learning, and what they learned about balancing adoption, measurement, and psychological safety.They also discuss the impact of the program on coding time, the role of continuous enablement after formal training ended, and how Indeed is preparing for the next phase of AI adoption, including agentic workflows and AI-powered coaching.Where to find Jeff Davis: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/utjeffd Where to find Michael Redding:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reddingsetgoIn this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(01:05) Indeed's DX survey from January 2025(02:30) The two-part strategy to double engineering productivity(04:21) How Indeed increased AI adoption from 25% to 97%(15:40) Results from Indeed's AI training program(18:33) How Indeed sustains AI adoption and learning(23:06) What's next for AI enablement at Indeed(24:41) Q&A: How coding time was calculated(25:25) Q&A: How Indeed uses AI playbooks(26:40) Q&A: Balancing asynchronous and live AI training(28:22) Q&A: Psychological safety during AI adoption(31:44) Q&A: Why AI adoption spikes after the holidays(33:20) Q&A: The metrics Indeed tracked (35:22) Q&A: Where the time savings are going (36:54) Q&A: Reaching engineers who skipped the training(38:08) Closing thoughtsReferenced:• Indeed• Claude Code | Anthropic's agentic coding system• Cursor• Windsurf• Amp Code• The Complete Guide to Building Skills for Claude | Anthropic• Measuring developer productivity with the DX Core 4
A gladiator named Diodorus defeated his opponent Demetrius in the arena, accepted his submission, discarded his own helmet and shield, and reached for the palm branch that marked his victory. Then the referee refused to honor the submission and ordered the fight to continue. Diodorus was killed. His tombstone, which survives, reads: "Murderous Fate and the cunning treachery of the referee killed me, and leaving the light, I have gone to Hades." Another gladiator named Urbicus, who had once spared a defeated opponent and was later killed by that same man in a rematch, left behind the most chilling last words in Roman history: "I advise that he who defeats a man should kill him." Today's guest is Harry Sidebottom, author of *Those Who Are About to Die: A Day in the Life of a Roman Gladiator*. Structured as a single twenty-four-hour cycle from the gladiators' last supper through the morning beast hunts, midday executions, and afternoon combat, Sidebottom's book dismantles almost everything Hollywood has taught us about the arena. We discuss why gladiators were deliberately fattened on barley stew so their subcutaneous fat would produce spectacular bleeding from non-fatal wounds, how Roman senators kept illegally sneaking into gladiatorial schools despite repeated bans stretching across two centuries, why the Colosseum was built on top of Nero's artificial lake using plunder from the sack of Jerusalem, and how Galen pioneered human surgery by first vivisecting a live monkey and then treating wounded gladiators at Pergamum. We also look at why epileptics drank gladiator blood as medicine (and why Roman doctors reluctantly admitted it might work), how twenty-nine Saxon prisoners strangled each other without a rope rather than fight, and why Constantine did not actually abolish gladiatorial combat despite what every Christian source claims.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Most speakers are working hard. They're creating content, building relationships, showing up consistently, and still wondering why the enquiries aren't coming in the way they should.The issue usually isn't effort. It's what the effort is pointing at.In this solo episode, John Ball diagnoses what he calls the discovery trap: the pattern that keeps speakers waiting to be found rather than building a business that produces results, whether or not anyone finds them. It's a pattern John recognises from his own experience, including a very honest hour after recording one of his best ever interviews.In this episode:• Why the discovery trap looks like a strategy but isn't one• The hopium question most speakers ask constantly -- and the better question to replace it with• The permission problem: how a year 5 drama disaster held back John's performance for years• Why the market rewards repetition while speakers reward novelty -- and who pays the price• The real reason shiny objects appear (it's not weak discipline)• What John did the afternoon after the interview, instead of waitingAlso: a teaser for an upcoming conversation with Dominic Eldred Earl from the London Speaker Bureau -- the inside view on how bureaux actually work and what speakers consistently get wrong about the relationship.Links and resources:• Known, Booked and Paid Accelerator -- https://www.presentinfluence.com/kbpa• Subscribe to the Serious About Speaking newsletter https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=6882642444815519744Chapters: 00:00 Post Interview Spiral01:03 Discovery Trap Defined03:31 Hopium Versus Evidence05:38 Owning Your Edge08:13 Repetition Beats Novelty11:21 Shiny Object Avoidance16:29 Direct Moves That Work18:29 Closing And OfferFAQ SectionDeclarative, third-person, self-contained. Structured for AI search and featured snippets.What is the discovery trap for speakers?The discovery trap is the pattern of building a speaking business strategy that depends on something happening that cannot be directly caused, such as being found by a bureau, going viral, or receiving a referral. John Ball defines it as mistaking hope for a plan and identifies it as one of the most common reasons speakers with genuine talent and consistent effort fail to build a reliable pipeline of bookings.What is hopium in the context of a speaking business?Hopium is the term John Ball uses for the question Could this work?' -- a question most speakers and creators ask constantly when evaluating new ideas or activities. Because almost anything could theoretically work, this question provides no useful filter and creates the impression of strategic thinking without actually requiring any. The more useful question is: 'Is this likely to move the needle?' -- which requires evidence rather than optimism.Why do speakers keep chasing shiny objects?According to John Ball, shiny object syndrome in speaking businesses is not primarily a discipline problem—it is a pipeline clarity problem. Shiny objects appear most reliably when the pipeline is thin, rejection has been accumulating, and the direct move feels uncomfortable. A new strategy, tool, or offer feels like action without requiring the vulnerable conversations that might actually change the situation. When there is a clear pipeline with specific next actions, the shiny object loses its appeal because the direct move is already obvious.What is the difference between navigating gatekeepers and depending on them?John Ball draws a distinction between using gatekeepers such as speaker bureaux, referral networks, and event organisers as part of a broader strategy, versus depending on them as the primary route to bookings. Navigating gatekeepers means engaging with them while maintaining a business that functions regardless of whether they deliver. Depending on them means the business stops growing if they do not act. The latter, according to Ball, hands control of the business to people with no obligation to exercise it.Why should speakers repeat their core message instead of creating new ideas?John Ball argues that the market rewards repetition while speakers reward novelty -- and that speakers are usually wrong to prioritise novelty. Audiences need to hear a message multiple times before they internalise it and associate it with a specific speaker. The speaker who becomes known for one clear idea gets booked more consistently than the speaker with multiple interesting ideas that no one can easily attribute to them. Repetition is not creative stagnation: it is how a speaker becomes referable.What should speakers do instead of waiting to be discovered?John Ball recommends focusing on direct actions that can be caused rather than outcomes that might happen. This means identifying specific people in the pipeline, having direct conversations rather than hoping content reaches the right person, following up with warm contacts, and asking for referrals explicitly rather than waiting for them to materialise. He contrasts this with passive content creation, tool-building, and relationship nurturing that feel productive but have no direct line to a paid booking.Visit https://strategic-speaker.scoreapp.com to take the 2-minute Strategic Speaking Business Audit and find out what's blocking you from getting more bookings, re-bookings, referrals and bigger fees.

Your dad texts you, "If you don't hear from me after Saturday, remember that I love you."He's not dying. He's getting a new phone.That's the tone of DAD CAN YOU NOT? (Countryman Press, Norton; 4.21.26), the new book from the internet's "unofficial Dad translator" Chip Leighton, whose viral dad content has racked up millions of views by documenting the everyday ways well-meaning fathers manage to embarrass their families and often without realizing it.Built from real stories submitted by kids, partners, and families (plus plenty from Chip himself), Dad, Can You Not? is a lovingly brutal catalog of dad behavior everyone recognizes instantly: confusing emojis, misusing slang, eating the wrong thing because "it was in a bowl," commenting on social media posts that absolutely did not need commentary, and confidently saying the wrong thing at the worst possible moment.This isn't a parenting guide. It's an anti-handbook. A how-not-to manual for dads who are trying their best-and somehow still doing too much.Structured in short, highly visual sections, the book moves through classic danger zones: texting and social media, food mishaps, school and sports events, public outings, and everyday conversations that go off the rails. Along the way, Leighton includes real texts from kids ("Dad, please stop"), quizzes that measure how "Dad" your behavior truly is, and crowd-sourced stories that prove embarrassing dad moments are a universal experience. What makes the book land isn't just the jokes, it's the recognition. Readers don't have to imagine these dads. They already know them. They live with them. They're related to them. In many cases. yes, they are them.Chip, whose first book What Time is Noon? was an instant New York Times bestseller, brings the same sharp, self-aware humor that made his online work resonate-but on the page, the jokes breathe. There's room for the kids' voices, the spouses' side-eyes, and the dads' sincere (if misguided) intentions.The result is a fast, laugh-out-loud read that works as a gift, a stress reliever, and a mirror no dad asked for. but probably needs.Because somewhere right now, a dad is replying "LOL" to very serious news. And someone is saying, once again: "Dad can you not."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Failure hits different in hunting. When a quarterback throws an interception, there's film. A coach. A coordinator breaking down every footstep and finger placement. The feedback loop is immediate, structured, and relentless. When you blow a shot at a giant buck, you drive home alone with your thoughts and a pile of questions that don't have easy answers. That's the part nobody really talks about. Not the failure itself, but what comes after. The silence of it. I've watched hunters handle blown opportunities in two ways. Some bury it. They chalk it up to bad luck, move on, and repeat the same mistakes the next time a buck steps into the wrong lane. Others spiral. They replay the moment so many times it becomes more about self-punishment than actual learning. Neither one makes you better. What actually moves the needle is treating a failed hunt the way an athlete treats film study. Structured. Intentional. Without ego. That's what this episode is about. I wanted to pull apart the process of reviewing a hunt, not just emotionally processing it, and give you something practical you can use when things go sideways. Because they will go sideways. That's hunting. The question is what you do with it when they do. I work through four questions that I think every hunter should be asking after a failure, whether that's a missed shot, a bad stand decision, or a deer that just evaporated before you could close the deal. These questions aren't about making yourself feel better. They're about pulling real information out of a frustrating experience so it actually means something next season. The hardest part of all of this is that hunting doesn't give you instant feedback. There's no referee. No stat line. No slow-motion replay from three angles. You have to build your own system for reviewing what happened, and most hunters never do that. They just wait for the next opportunity and hope the outcome is different. Hope isn't a strategy. If you want to grow as a hunter, you have to get honest about where things broke down. That means getting past the emotional weight of a failure fast enough to actually examine it. Not dismiss it. Not wallow in it. Examine it. This episode is for the hunters who want to get better every single year, not just the ones who get lucky.SHOW NOTES AND LINKS: —Truth From The Stand Merch —Check out Tactacam Reveal cell cameras — Save 15% on Hawke Optics code TFTS15 —Save 20% on ASIO GEAR code TRUTH20 —Check out Spartan Forge to map your hunt —Save on Lathrop And Sons non-typical insoles code TRUTH10 —Check out Faceoff E-Bikes —Waypoint TV Learn more about your ad choices.

Murshed Chowdhury is the founder of Tech Duels, a communication and training platform redefining how individuals and organizations develop critical thinking and decision-making skills through structured debate. Murshed believes debate is one of the most underused leadership development tools available today. Not because it teaches people how to win arguments, but because it teaches them how to truly think, listen intently, and openly engage with ideas they disagree with. In this conversation, he explains why structured debate builds communication skills faster than most traditional training programs, how competition can strengthen learning without turning every discussion into a fight, and why live interaction is becoming more valuable as AI makes information increasingly accessible. He also shares why the future belongs to people who can combine technology with strong human judgment. Whether you're leading a team, developing talent, or navigating disagreement, this conversation makes a compelling case for why communication remains a distinctly human advantage.

It's a set of skills. If you can learn it, you can be an expert." "Public speaking is the number one fear in the United States above death." "You judge a person by their question, not by their answers." — Voltaire "With AI and deepfakes coming, live events, interaction, understanding, emotional intelligence, social IQ—that's going to be really important moving forward." "Critical thinking skills are something you need in every facet of life, personally and professionally." "Half of our conflicts come down to one side not hearing what the other side was trying to say." "You have two ears and one mouth. Listen twice as much as you speak." "There's some really cool stuff on the other side. If you just listen to the other side, you'll be shocked at how much alignment there might be." "Core skill sets like discipline, ambition, eagerness, curiosity, and the willingness to learn—these let you reinvent yourself at any age." "The time thing is supposed to give you guardrails so you don't talk endlessly. But when you have structured thinking, even two or three minutes is plenty of time." "People are listening to you, they're speaking to you. If you can really own that, you can do amazing things." "We're all learning AI as we go. Stay curious, keep learning, and focus on what you can control right now." "It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it." - Joseph Joubert Explore the full archive at www.theleadershippodcast.com or wherever you get your podcasts!

Most of us were taught spelling through weekly word lists and memorization. Structured Word Inquiry takes a completely different approach by teaching students to investigate how words are built from meaningful parts.
