What actually happens when generosity, influence, and habits collide in your business development work? That's the question I dive into in this second conversation with my friend Todd Sattersten, publisher of Bard Press and author of The 100 Best Books for Work & Life. We pick up exactly where Part One left off, right at the intersection of relationships, vulnerability, and connecting with others in a way that actually moves your work forward. From the surprising science behind why "givers" rise to the top (and sometimes sink to the bottom), to the behind-the-scenes mechanics of hospitality and how we make people feel in every interaction, this episode pushes far past surface-level tactics. In this conversation, I explore the nuance in generosity, the structures behind positive influence, and six books that can fundamentally reshape how you implement, focus, and stay consistent. We dig into the practical edges of reciprocity, the real reason some professionals burn out while others thrive, and why habits ultimately drive identity and long-term success. If you've ever wondered why some people seem to glide forward with clarity while others stall out, this episode reveals the less obvious patterns hiding underneath.   Topics We Cover in This Episode:  The subtle mistake that drains value from your "help" without you realizing it How hospitality reshapes the way clients experience your work The six psychological levers that quietly shape every business interaction A habit-building framework that works even when motivation doesn't How to create focus in a world that constantly tries to distract you The identity-level shift that fuels long-term growth The surprising reason goals alone can actually limit your success If you want to deepen your relationships, sharpen your focus, and build the habits that fuel long-term success, this is an episode you'll want to sit with, not just listen to once.   Resources Mentioned: Order your copy of Give to Grow Get the Supplemental materials for Give to Grow Get a copy of your GrowBIG Playbook today!

After seven seasons and one very contested transporter accident, we welcome Voyager executive producer and co-creator of Tuvix, Ken Biller, for a wide-ranging conversation about the legacy of Star Trek: Voyager. Guest co-host Earl Green joins John to explore the creative pressures behind the series finale, the constraints of '90s television, and how a light-hearted idea about a goofy transporter mix-up became one of Trek's most morally complex debates. Also: alternate titles, unwritten sequels, and that time Ken was a Jeopardy! answer. It's a candid, thoughtful look back from someone who was there from the first season to Endgame.

It's my last week of teaching for the year, and I've been reflecting on the supplemental books that have been most successful with my elementary and early intermediate students this year. The new year can be a great time to start fresh: with new repertoire, new technical routines, or new creative challenges for our students.As we prepare for the Spring semester and look forward to lessons resuming in January, I want to share nine collections I've been using with my students this year. Some are etudes based on specific technical patterns, others are solo repertoire books. Most of these are available through Piano Safari, though they can be used alongside any method book. For reference, my elementary and early intermediate students are in Piano Safari Levels 1-3 and range from 2nd-7th grade.If you're looking to refresh your teaching materials for January or add some variety to your studio library, I hope you'll find a few gems here that spark your interest.For show notes + a full transcript, click here.Resources Mentioned*Disclosure: some of the links in this episode are affiliate links, which means if you decide to purchase through any of them, I will earn a small commission.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and publisher, Todd Sattersten to unpack his brand-new book The 100 Best Books for Work & Life. After spending thousands of hours studying the world's top ideas, Todd distilled them into three massive themes: the core beliefs that shape how we grow, the foundational skills we all need, and the proven strategies for implementation. Together, we explore why purpose matters more than you think, why progress—not perfection—is what keeps us motivated, and how the strongest relationships (both personal and professional) can radically improve your success. We also break down lessons from books on goals, growth, habits, vulnerability, and the surprising science behind becoming your best self. This conversation skims across decades of research, the best thinkers in the world, and hundreds of lessons that can transform your trajectory. If you've ever wondered what to prioritize, where to focus, or how to build a career and life you actually love, you'll hear ideas you can implement today—along with the stories, examples, and science that make them stick. Topics We Cover in This Episode:    The surprising way Todd chose the "100 best" books—and why categories came after the insights The core belief every high performer needs before any real growth can happen A mindset shift from one of the world's most famous researchers that proves anyone can improve The daily and weekly habits scientifically shown to increase happiness, productivity, and clarity Why three layers of your social network influence you far more than you realize The uncomfortable—but essential—truth Brene Brown uncovered about connection and professional success A story of how following intuitive energy (instead of logic) can redirect an entire career The one type of progress that dramatically increases motivation—and how to track it in under 15 minutes   If this episode sparks something in you—an idea, a curiosity, or even the sense that it's time for a shift—I'd love for you to dive into Part 2 where we continue the conversation with generosity, influence, habits, and implementation. And if Todd's insights resonated, check out The 100 Best Books for Work & Life and start building your own roadmap for growth. Your next breakthrough might be waiting in the pages of a single book—or a single idea you hear today.   Resources Mentioned: Order your copy of Give to Grow Get the Supplemental materials for Give to Grow Get a copy of your GrowBIG Playbook today!

In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we travel to the frozen frontiers of the Arctic to uncover one of conservation's most inspiring success stories — the revival of the Arctic fox in Svalbard and Fennoscandia. Host Anish Banerjee is joined by Nina Elisabeth Eide from the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA), who shares her remarkable two-decade journey studying and protecting wild canids in one of the world's harshest environments.Once reduced to barely 40–60 individuals, the Arctic fox population in Scandinavia teetered on the edge of extinction due to overhunting, climate change, and competition with red foxes. Through dedicated efforts in wild canid conservation, the population has rebounded more than tenfold to nearly 600 foxes — a triumph made possible by scientific research, adaptive management, and international cooperation.Nina describes how her PhD work in Svalbard explored the ecology and spatial behaviour of Arctic foxes, revealing how these resilient predators adapt to shifting prey availability across coastal and inland tundra. She explains their extraordinary biological adaptations — from thick fur and fat reserves to metabolic slowdown — that allow them to endure months of Arctic winter without freezing even at –40°C.The discussion delves deep into the innovative conservation measures behind the Arctic fox's recovery:Supplemental feeding stations strategically placed near den sites to enhance pup survival and reproduction.Red fox control programmes that limit competition in critical Arctic habitats.A successful captive-breeding and reintroduction programme, which has released over 460 foxes into the wild, boosting eight distinct sub-populations across Norway, Sweden, and Finland.Long-term genetic monitoring, collecting nearly 800 DNA samples annually to track individuals, maintain genetic diversity, and assess the success of reintroduced foxes.Beyond the science, Nina reflects on the emotional highs of conservation — from the joy of releasing foxes into the wild to the collective sense of achievement when a once-critically endangered species begins to recover. Yet, she warns that ongoing threats like climate change, habitat fragmentation, and red fox expansion still pose challenges to the long-term survival of Arctic biodiversity.This episode offers a rare glimpse into the perseverance and ingenuity that define modern wildlife conservation.

What if the very doubts you're trying to silence are actually helping you become more confident? In this episode, I sit down with Kelli Thompson, leadership coach and author of Closing the Confidence Gap, to unpack the truth about confidence — why it's not about never feeling fear, and how curiosity and self-compassion are your biggest power moves. We explore the "But First" mindset that keeps you stuck, the cost of expensive thoughts, and the powerful shift that happens when you start listening to your body's wisdom, not just your head. Kelli and I dive into real, actionable frameworks for building confidence that sticks — whether you're preparing for a big promotion, leading a team, or simply trying to stop second-guessing yourself. Her tools are practical, evidence-based, and surprisingly heart-centered. If you've ever wondered how to feel confident before you've "earned" it, this conversation will change the way you see yourself and your leadership potential. Topics We Cover in This Episode:    The surprising difference between confidence and cockiness — and how curiosity bridges the gap Why your "But Firsts" are secretly sabotaging your success How to turn expensive thoughts into valuable ones that propel your growth Why compassion (not criticism) is the key to lasting confidence The 4-part "LESS" model for doing less while achieving more How to make smarter decisions using your head, heart, and gut together Simple daily practices to build self-trust and resilience What your body is trying to tell you — and how to actually listen   If you've ever doubted your readiness, your worth, or your next big move, this episode will remind you that confidence isn't something you wait for — it's something you create through action, awareness, and self-compassion. Listen in, take notes, and don't forget to check out Kelli's book Closing the Confidence Gap for even more powerful tools to boost your peace, potential, and paycheck.   Resources Mentioned: Order your copy of Give to Grow Get the Supplemental materials for Give to Grow Get a copy of your GrowBIG Playbook today!

Hannah Holzum teaches us about what it really feels like to start a food blog in 2025 and why courage, community and simple systems matter more than anything. Hannah is a registered dietitian and food blogger who shares healthy, balanced takes on family favorites. As a mom of three daughters, she knows firsthand how busy weeknights can be, so she focuses on creating recipes that are simple, nourishing, and kid-approved. Her goal is to help families enjoy mealtime together without the stress of cooking multiple dishes. She is only ten months into her blogging journey, but she has already built systems, invested in smart help, and navigated the overwhelm that comes with being brand new. She walks through the mindset shifts that helped her move forward quickly, the early investments that paid off, and the importance of ignoring traffic obsession in favor of serving real people. If you are starting a blog or thinking about it, you will walk away feeling braver, clearer and less alone. Key points discussed include: Overwhelm is normal and starting anyway is the only way forward. Find your people because community shortens the learning curve and keeps you grounded. Smart investments matter including tech help and early SEO audits that prevent long term setbacks. Weekly check ins keep you aligned with your purpose, not just your to do list. Shiny objects steal momentum so simplify your focus and choose one priority at a time. Supplemental income is not failure and can support your growth while your blog builds traction. Traffic is not the point so listen to your community and create what they actually want. Courage compounds and every brave step you take opens the next one.

Understanding Subject Matter Jurisdiction: A Key to Navigating Federal CourtsThis conversation delves into the complexities of subject matter jurisdiction (SMJ) in federal courts, emphasizing its foundational importance for legal exams and practice. The discussion covers federal question jurisdiction, diversity jurisdiction, supplemental jurisdiction, and the removal process, providing insights into key rules and exceptions that govern these areas. The speakers aim to equip listeners with a structured analysis to navigate jurisdictional issues effectively, highlighting the critical distinctions and procedural nuances that can impact case outcomes.Subject Matter Jurisdiction (SMJ) is a fundamental concept in the legal world, especially for those preparing for exams like the bar or Civ Pro finals. It's the gatekeeper to the federal court system, determining whether a court has the authority to hear a particular type of case. Understanding SMJ is crucial, as a misstep can lead to a case being dismissed outright.Federal Question Jurisdiction: One of the primary ways to establish SMJ is through federal question jurisdiction, which applies to cases arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States. The well-pleaded complaint rule is central here, requiring that the federal issue be a necessary element of the plaintiff's claim. The landmark case of Louisville & Nashville Railroad v. Motley illustrates this principle, emphasizing that anticipated defenses do not suffice to establish federal jurisdiction.Diversity Jurisdiction: Another pathway into federal court is diversity jurisdiction, which requires complete diversity of citizenship between parties and an amount in controversy exceeding $75,000. This jurisdictional basis aims to protect out-of-state litigants from potential local bias. However, the rules are strict, with complete diversity being a non-negotiable requirement.Supplemental Jurisdiction: Supplemental jurisdiction allows federal courts to hear additional state law claims related to a case already under federal jurisdiction. This is governed by Section 1367, which codifies older doctrines like pendant and ancillary jurisdiction. However, in diversity-only cases, Section 1367B imposes limitations to prevent plaintiffs from circumventing the complete diversity requirement.Removal and Remand: The process of moving a case from state to federal court is known as removal, a tool available exclusively to defendants. The rules are stringent, with a 30-day deadline for filing a notice of removal and a one-year cap for diversity cases. The forum defendant rule further restricts removal in diversity cases if any defendant is a citizen of the state where the action is pending.Navigating the intricacies of subject matter jurisdiction is essential for legal practitioners. By understanding the pathways and limitations of federal question and diversity jurisdiction, as well as the nuances of supplemental jurisdiction and removal, one can effectively maneuver through the federal court system. For those preparing for exams, mastering these concepts is key to success.Subscribe now to stay updated on more legal insights and deepen your understanding of complex legal topics.TakeawaysSMJ is crucial for federal court access.Federal courts have limited jurisdiction defined by the Constitution and Congress.The well-pleaded complaint rule is essential for federal question jurisdiction.Diversity jurisdiction requires complete diversity and an amount in controversy exceeding $75,000.The Grable exception allows state law claims with significant federal issues to be heard in federal court.Supplemental jurisdiction allows related claims to be heard together in federal court.Subject Matter Jurisdiction, SMJ, Federal Question, Diversity Jurisdiction, Supplemental Jurisdiction, Removal Process, Legal Exam Tips, Civil Procedure, Federal Courts, Jurisdictional Analysis

Do the many clinical trials into high-dose vitamin C prove it can actually treat the common cold and cancer, rather than just boost the immune system? Why is there ongoing scepticism? Why are multifactorial chronic diseases so hard to study in clinical trials? What is the right dosage to get the best results from vitamin C?In this episode we have the often misunderstood topic of Vitamin C as an antioxidant to get clear on, particular the high-dose approach and particularly delivered intravenously. Despite a very clear consensus that Vitamin C is a great booster to immune function, research that shows that it helps fight the common cold or flu have been dismissed by doctors and medical researchers; as well as claims that higher doses can increase its efficacy. Other claims that Vitamin C can help fight cardio-vascular disease and even cancer have been with even greater scepticism. So what exactly can vitamin C do to assist our immune function to fight disease, and why is there so much confusion about the answer given the high quantity of clinical trials data?Fortunately today's guest has exactly the right skill set and research knowledge to separate the science from the here-say, medical doctor and orthomolecular medicine researcher, Dr. Richard Z Cheng. Dr. Cheng has a PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology; he's served as a doctor in the US military; he has consulted for the National Cancer Institute, and presented at the National Institute of Health (NIH); he has conducted clinical trials; He is the editor in Chief of the Orthmolecular Medicine New Service; He is also a fellow of the American Academy of Anti- Aging medicine; and has run anti-aging and regenerative medicine clinics in both China and the US for over 20 years.What we discuss:00:00 Intro05:15 Most animals produce Vitamin C in the body, but not primates.06:00 Oxidation & Redox: Giving or receiving an electron.11:00 After reducing oxidation the body recycles it back into vitamin C.14:00 Teamwork: sharing electrons between nutrients and vitamins.18:20 Conventional consensus: good for prevention but not treatment.21:00 Over 80K papers on Vit C on Pub Med!21:30 Linus Pauling Intravenous Vitamin C for cancer and heart disease.27:00 Shortening of common cold and lowering of symptoms - Harri Hemila.29:00 Low dose studies dilute the data on the efficacy of the high dose studies.31:00 Intravenous treatment allows much higher doses safely.33:00 Differences in absorption between IV and oral application.35:20 Pro-oxidant effect only possible at IV high dose.36:30 IV clinical trials.39:20 Cytokine storm cascades in acute respiratory distress.44:00 High Dose IV Vitamin C saved lives in China during Covid 19.50:00 Attacks following Richard's NIH presentation on Vitamin C during covid.57:00 Cardio vascular disease - Vit.

Harry talks to Marty Lederman, the former Deputy Assistant Attorney General who authored an amicus brief with a legal discovery that has shaken the Administration's attempt to deploy the National Guard to Chicago and other Democrat-led cities. Marty and Harry explain the critical oversight in the administration's reasoning, and they think through what a bruising legal defeat would mean for the effort to put boots on the ground in American cities. It's a possible game changer in a case Harry has called a "moment of truth for the High Court."

ORAU coordinates the evaluation of DOE former workers through the National Supplemental Screening Program. Through the NSSP, the U.S. Department of Energy offers free customized medical screenings to their former workers who may have been exposed to hazardous substances on the job site. On this episode of Further Together, host Michael Holtz and Wendy Benade, operations manager, and Heather O'Maonaigh, outreach manager, take a deep dive into the program, from outreach to enrollment and so much more. ORAU manages the program along with great partners, including National Jewish Health, Acuity International, Cority Software, and the Center for Health, Work & Environment at the Colorado School of Public Health. Former workers include eligible DOE federal, contractor, and subcontractor workers. The screenings are designed to identify findings consistent with occupational diseases such as chronic respiratory illnesses, hearing loss, kidney or liver disease, and some forms of cancer. Since the program was established in 2005, more than 22,500 initial exams of former workers have been conducted, and more than 11,000 follow-up exams.

What makes someone truly care about their work, their team, or even you? In this episode, I sit down with Zach Mercurio, one of the world's leading experts on the science of "mattering." We unpack why nothing can truly matter to someone unless they first feel that they matter to you — and how that insight can transform relationships, leadership, and client trust. Zach shares fascinating research, relatable stories, and practical scripts for showing others that they're seen, heard, and valued in both professional and personal settings. We dig deep into the "why" behind mattering and move into the "how" with clear, repeatable steps you can use to create more meaningful connections in every interaction. From client relationships to internal teams, you'll walk away with concrete ways to build trust, loyalty, and genuine engagement that scales. Topics We Cover in This Episode:    Why being a "good person" isn't enough to make people feel cared for The three key practices of mattering — noticing, affirming, and needing How small interactions shape trust and loyalty more than big gestures Practical questions that make others feel seen and heard instantly Why documenting details can help you build stronger relationships at scale How to give feedback that inspires change instead of resistance The psychology behind making people feel indispensable How "co-creating" with clients or colleagues increases buy-in and results   If you're ready to level up your relational skills and make every connection count, don't miss this one. Zach's frameworks are simple, science-backed, and deeply human — and they'll change the way you lead, sell, and communicate. Check out his book The Power of Mattering and visit thepowerofmattering.com for free self-assessments and templates.

Curd Appeal sells the best-looking cheeses on the block, but over the long weekend their refrigerator broke down, and now their limburger isn't the only thing that smells. The owner argues they are covered under the BP 00 03, but the adjuster spots some holes in their argument. The owner hits back with a supplemental endorsement they purchased, hoping to find coverage any way they can.   Notable Timestamps [ 03:00 ] - The five-point process for property coverage analysis includes: covered property, direct physical loss, covered cause of loss, conditions, and additional coverages/extensions. [ 04:37 ] - Mechanical breakdown (like a refrigerator going out) is often an excluded cause of loss in a standard policy. [ 07:18 ] - Supplemental endorsements for food spoilage are designed to work with the base policy and can specify limits and change base policy language. [ 08:59 ] - This food spoilage coverage extension insures against direct physical loss or damage to food stock or food merchandise contained in a refrigeration unit. [ 10:47 ] - The endorsement defines a covered cause of loss to include mechanical breakdown and power outage (change in temperature/humidity). [ 12:31 ] - This food spoilage endorsement often explicitly deletes the mechanical breakdown exclusion from the base policy, but only for that specific coverage extension. [ 13:41 ] - The food spoilage extension may only apply if the loss is not covered by Equipment Breakdown Insurance (an optional policy coverage). [ 14:10 ] - The optional Equipment Breakdown Protection Coverage in the BP 00 03 policy covers direct loss or damage caused by mechanical breakdown or electrical failure of machinery. [ 15:33 ] - The Equipment Breakdown Protection Coverage might exclude leakage at a valve or seal, which is a distinction that could make the supplemental endorsement the only source of coverage. [ 18:31 ] - Brennan provides a recap of the points above.

 Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. Featuring Mark Ratner, Scientific Director of Theralogix. In this deep dive into fertility supplements, Mark Ratner helps us decode the science behind NAD and its exciting role in longevity and reproductive health. NAD itself can't be taken directly—it must be boosted through precursors, which then power SIRTs, a family of seven proteins that regulate cellular health, mitochondrial function, and even egg longevity. Among them, SIRT1 is particularly important for egg rescue and extending reproductive potential. Mark explains how these pathways differ from the effects of coenzyme Q10, yet still play a key role in energy production within the mitochondria. We also explore the latest research on Ovasitol, an inositol supplement important for PCOS management. The new formulation, which includes added milk proteins, may enhance absorption and overall effectiveness. Finally, Mark introduces OvaNAD+, a newly available Theralogix supplement that delivers the right NAD precursor to support SIRT activation, energy production, and reproductive health. This podcast is sponsored by IVF Florida.

"Simply the Vest" is a dry cleaning service with a basement full of supplies, tools, clothing, and… water. After a heavy rain, the owners discovered that their sump pump had failed, causing water to back up into the basement, resulting in damage to their property. Under their BP 00 03 form, coverage for this cause is firmly excluded. However, they paid for a supplemental endorsement with some interesting technicalities… Notable Timestamps [ 02:43 ] - When assessing coverage, always start with the underlying policy form before reviewing any endorsements, ensuring clarity on the initial coverage. [ 05:32 ] - Supplemental coverages given to an insured typically identify specific needs that they have in the transaction and provide clear limits for each supplemental coverage provided. [ 08:11 ] - Endorsements can provide additional coverage for water-related claims like backup and overflow or mold, which are generally types of losses that would otherwise be excluded. [ 11:18 ] - Determining coverage requires looking at the exact policy language, fitting it to the specific scenario, and matching facts to the policy language. [ 13:45 ] - Sump pump issues often involve power outages (necessitating battery backup) or mechanical breakdown, but each claim has to be assessed based on its individual merits. [ 15:23 ] - An endorsement providing additional water backup coverage may also modify or replace the existing water damage exclusion found in the underlying BP policy. [ 17:49 ] - If a loss isn't excluded under the underlying policy, the supplemental coverage-- which could be subject to a lower limit-- would not be needed. [ 16:18 ] - Brennan provides a brief conclusion.

Mold produces mycotoxins that get into your cells, tissues, organs and glands. It manifests first in walls after a water leak and then becomes airborne and you breathe the mold spores in. Once you're exposed, it causes a whole host of health and autoimmune issues.  Symptoms I've had (but not limited to)   *Note that these symptoms don't hit all at once and progressively get intensified the longer you're exposed. This is important to mention that just because you don't (yet) have intense symptoms, doesn't mean that it won't happen* -Chronic fatigue -Thyroid issues/swollen throat -Lack of drive and motivation -Brain fog (memory issues) -Poor sleep -Dizziness (Tommy got vertigo often and nose bleeds) -Histamine issues -Sinus issues, yellow/green snot (like you should only get with a cold) -Constant sneezing -Head and sinus pressure -Inflammation throughout whole body -Headaches (sharp pings) -Metallic taste in mouth Get your home checked!

What really makes a strategy work—and why do so many professional services firms get it wrong? In this conversation with Alastair Beddow of Meridian West, we dig deep into how service-based companies can craft and implement strategies that actually stick. We explore what strategy is (and isn't), the role of evidence and data in decision-making, and why buy-in across the firm is non-negotiable if you want to move from vision to execution. I share stories and insights from my own experience alongside Alastair's expertise, and together we unpack the pitfalls of treating strategy as a static PowerPoint document rather than a living, breathing process. If you've ever wondered how to align your people, your clients, and your resources in a way that fuels sustainable growth, this episode is for you. Topics We Cover in This Episode:  Why most strategies fail before they even begin The surprising role of “saying no” in fueling growth How the “triangle” of firm, clients, and people drives every strategic choice What professional services can learn from private equity's approach to growth How to navigate the emotional challenge of pulling back from long-time clients Why short-term wins matter for long-term strategy execution A framework to ensure your strategy doesn't just sit in a drawer   If you're ready to think differently about how strategy is created, communicated, and lived out inside your firm, this episode will give you practical tools and a fresh perspective. Tune in, take notes, and start putting these ideas into practice today—because the best strategy isn't just written, it's implemented.   Resources Mentioned: Sign up for Bunnell Idea Group's free AI Business Development tool, GrowBIG AI: growbig.ai Order your copy of Give to Grow Get the Supplemental materials for Give to Grow Get a copy of your GrowBIG Playbook today!
