Their products use clinically proven ingredients, are tested before and after formulation, and they donate vitamins to needy kids. Maybe more importantly, their products do what they say they're going to do. Listen to this feedback about Joint Health Plus! "My ankle and knee pain was completely gone in a week. Amazing!" - Kim "I thought I was on the verge of having to give up running due to severe hip pain and luckily discovered Previnex - complete game changer for me!" - Anna "I am so grateful for Joint Health Plus! As a certified fitness professional and still an extremely active, competitive amateur athlete, I was getting discouraged with an increase in pain simply kneeling down, or bending down to the floor and getting back up while assisting clients, or in my own training! Once deciding to give this product a try, I was floored when I finally noticed I was not bracing in anticipation of pain when I had to kneel down; not whincing in discomfort upon standing! Thank you, Prevenix!" - Jessica Joint Health Plus is so powerful because the main active ingredient is clinically proven to reduce joint pain, reduce joint stiffness, and improve joint flexibility in just 7-10 days. It's also clinically proven, not just tested, but actually proven in double-blinded, placebo- controlled studies to protect joint cartilage from breaking down during exercise.

Thank you MOBO Board! Invented by renowned physical therapist Jay Dicharry, MOBO helps you stabilize your stance with an innovative rocker board that's set up on two fins. The design effectively forces you to drive your big toe into the board to improve your stability. I was pretty arrogant going into my first session on the MOBO Board. How hard can it be to balance, right? Well, I was humbled pretty quickly! Even if you're a good runner, better balance, stability, and proprioception is going to help you have a more powerful stride and prevent more running injuries. You'll learn how to improve the efficiency of the kinetic chain from your hip to your big toe. Because as Jay likes to say, it's not just how strong you are, but how well you use that strength. I was recently at a weekend physical therapy workshop (lol I was the only running coach) and learned how important (and rare) this simple movement is.

Amazon can take a shocking cut of your revenue before you even count product cost, shipping, and overhead, and that reality is forcing sellers to get far more disciplined about inventory and profit. We sit down with returning guest Chelsea Cohen to talk about what she's learned as SoStocked moves through acquisitions and into a larger corporate ecosystem, and why that shift makes real-time visibility into fees, forecasting, and unit economics even more important for day-to-day decisions.We get specific about the hidden margin killers that sneak up on Amazon FBA brands: storage fees, aged inventory fees, capacity constraints, and mismeasured products that land in the wrong FBA fee tier. Chelsea shares how smart sellers build a regular overstock plan, move slow inventory without panic, and think in contribution margin terms so they can spot which SKUs are quietly draining cash. We also talk through the pricing trap, why raising prices doesn't always work, and how to weigh profit dollars against the workload and complexity that come with higher volume at thinner margins.On the tactical side, we cover wasted ad spend audits, negative keywords, reimbursement opportunities (including AWD mistakes), and how Amazon Warehousing and Distribution can help with inbound and capacity when used as a lever instead of a full dependency. We close by looking at how AI is starting to move from “answer my question” to “recommend my next action” in inventory management, plus what needs to be in place so sellers can trust the numbers. If you got value from this, subscribe, share it with a seller friend, and leave a review telling us which fee or profit leak you're auditing first.Ready to scale your Amazon business?

"You never know what insight or information you're going to glean from someone, and so I want to be open to surprises. And not have any preconceived notions of what, who this person is, what they're going to tell me, imposing my own values, beliefs, whatever on them, because it's all a discovery," says Pulitzer Prize-winner Barry Meier, whose piece "You Can Run" appears in The Atavist Magazine.Barry Meier is here for another Atavistian chat! Yeah, these have not come out in as timely a manner as I had hoped. The late delay of the “revived” one with Mac Montandon, and having pods that were getting moldy in the can too precedence. Anyway …Barry Meier has won this little award you might have heard of called the, what is it, oh, yes, the Pulitzer Prize as part of a team of reporters in International Reporting for the New York Times. He's also been a finalist for the Pulitzer and a two-time winner of the George Polk Award. He's got a new piece out for The Atavist magazine titled: You Can Run: When their parents ripped two young sisters from their privileged lives, gave them fake names, and took them on the lam, they thought it was because their father was in trouble with the IRS.

How do you bridge the divide between how leaders show up and what teams truly want? On this week's episode of the Do Good to Lead Well podcast, I sit down with Allison Howell, CEO of Hogan Assessments, to discuss their Leadership Divide Global Report, which draws on the responses from 9,794 employees across 25 countries. The findings challenge the conventional myths about what makes a great leader, and why charisma and ambition are not enough.Allison Howell pulls back the curtain on “emergent” versus “effective” leadership, sharing why the traits that get people promoted often undermine team success. We also dive into one of the other key findings; why the attributes executives display don't match what employees crave, with nearly zero overlap. Critical leadership qualities such as cultivating trust, integrity, and humility, build both teams and organizations up, no matter the cultural context. She also shares concrete examples of the most common derailers in Hogan's research: behaviors that fast-track promotions but quietly undermine trust and morale. Allison also offers a candid look at strategic self-awareness, the value of global perspective, and practical ways any organization can move from bias to balanced judgment.If you're a leader, or an aspiring one, this episode delivers the research and real-world tactics you need to inspire true followership and foster organizational excellence in an era of rapid change.What You'll Learn- The uncomfortable truth about reputation versus identity (and which one actually runs your career).- Emergence versus effectiveness: why the leaders who get promoted aren't the ones teams need.- Why your greatest strength can also become a derailer.- The global trust crisis and the surprising place leaders are best positioned to rebuild it.- Accountability: why employees are saying "you first." - Personality is climate, behavior is weather; what that means for your ability to change.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – What is Leadership?(03:57) - Reputation Versus Identity in Leadership Assessment(06:45) - The Leadership Divide: Key Findings and Surprises(10:49) - Leadership Emergence vs. Leadership Effectiveness(13:08) - Behaviors That Get Leaders Promoted (But Hurt Teams)(20:20) - Closing the Leadership Gap: Individual and Organizational Solutions(28:06) - Balancing Ambition, Confidence, and Humility(34:59) - Can Leadership Skills Be Developed?(38:10) - The Current Context of Leadership Expectations(45:52) - Cultural Differences in Leadership PreferencesKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Hogan Assessments, Personality Assessment, Team Performance, Reputation vs Identity, Emergent Leadership, Leadership Gap, Charismatic Leadership, Strategic Self-Awareness, Leadership Development, Accountability, Integrity, Trust in Leadership, Communication Skills, Humility, Emotional Self-Regulation, Dark Side of Personality, 360 feedback, Global Leadership Trends, Data-Driven Selection, Cross-Cultural Leadership Differences, CEO Success

I think this was one of my most enjoyable dialogues in our What's new series. Maybe Sabine and I are getting more used to each other's cadence and interests or maybe it was the subject matter. Either way, I think you will find this to be a fascinating and provocative discussion of science at the forefront, and at the not-so-forefront, because that science is interesting too!We began our discussion describing a new finding of a Giant Ring of galaxies billions of light years across in the sky. The key questions are: Is it real? And is it surprising? We both have slightly different takes on this.Next we described a new measurement of the strength of gravity on scales from 80 to 800 million light years in distance. And guess what? Gravity falls off just like Newton predicted! This may seem like a big yawn, but one of the most popular models that claims to do away with dark matter would imply that Gravity would fall off differently on these scales. Does this new result kill that idea? Stay tuned.Microsoft, which has cried wolf a number of times so far when it comes to something called Majorana qubits as the basis of a new viable quantum computer just published a new paper claiming they finally have it. Sabine and I discuss why we are both still skeptical, but why the effort is worth it.Next, CERN, the large European particle physics laboratory, and the world particle physics community seem to have converged on plans for building a huge new accelerator in the current CERN site.. this time involving an underground ring 91 km in circumference, in which electrons and positrons would collide to explore the detailed properties of the Higgs particle. Is the effort worth it? Again, Sabine and I have slightly different takes on this.Fusion power, which we have talked about in a number of earlier episodes, continues to tempt humanity with the promise of unlimited energy. Many people, myself included, have tended to argue that fusion seems to be 25 years in the future, and may always be 25 years in the future. But many new efforts are underway, so who knows. Unfortunately, a group of economists has analyzed fusion in the context of other large energy programs and have argued that even if we can achieve it, it may not be as economically viable as many claim. Finally, one day Richard Feynman went to a Thai restaurant with his young companion Ralph Leighton, and wondered what he should order. Should it be the same old dish he loved or something new. An equation filled napkin later, and he had the answer. Fifty years later some cognitive scientists resurrected Feynman's napkin and explained it, and argued it might have important implications in other social situations. Such is the power of science.As always, an ad-free video version of this podcast is also available to paid Critical Mass subscribers.

Today's show is all about one man: one of Wales's greatest sons, one of the football terrace's greatest sons, one of podcasting's greatest sons. We're talking about none other than the the cycling extraordinaire, the cagoule aficionado, the Cymru Connector-in-Chief, Mr Elis James. And what one thing does Elis hate above all else? Surprises. And what do we have in store for him? A surprise so big that John's smirk can almost be heard from the opening drum beat. Josh Widdicombe is also on hand to crank up the tension. Strap yourselves in for the mega-surprise of all mega-surprises. And remember, pressure is a privilege. Away from all the James-centric japes there's a World Cup-based Made Up Game that puts Elis and John's big brains to the test, and a listener reads Ghandi's biography out loud to a youth on a train.Are you feeling surprised?

JP Nerbun's 10-year-old daughter said something on the walk to the bus that stopped him cold: "She's climbing the mountain of achievement without any purpose." That one line is the heart of this entire conversation.This special episode drops on the launch day of JP's new book The Culture Captain — a field guide for athletes learning to lead from the inside out. JP sits down with longtime friend John O'Sullivan, founder of the Changing the Game Project and co-author of Captain: The Athlete's Guide to Being an Exceptional Team Leader (with Jerry Lynch). Two books. Same subject. Written simultaneously, on opposite sides of the Atlantic. They go deep on self-awareness as the foundation of leadership, why modeling behaviors beats locker room speeches, how to have a difficult conversation before you feel ready, and what it means to lead from the bench when things aren't going your way.Whether you coach athletes, lead a team, or are still figuring out who you are as a leader — this one is for you.Chapters(00:00) Intro — JP's Daughter & Book Launch(02:30) Why John Wrote Captain(05:52) Why JP Wrote The Culture Captain(15:54) The Fable Format — Why JP Chose Lily(19:00) The Four Levels of Leadership(25:13) Surprises from Writing(31:15) The Hardest Lesson to Put Into Words(34:05) Hard Conversations as Life Skills(39:15) From Sports to the Workplace(43:48) What Had to Be Left Out(47:08) Approaching a Difficult Teammate(53:05) Coaching the Reluctant Leader(59:43) Tom Brady on Playing Where You Love People(1:01:26) Success vs. Fulfillment(1:04:00) Lead From the Bench(1:09:02) How Will You Know the Book Succeeded?(1:12:43) Why This Book Mattered MostTOC 3-2-13 Quotes | 2 Questions | 1 ResourceYour fast-track to the episode's most actionable ideas."She's climbing the mountain of achievement without any purpose."— JP Nerbun's daughter, age 10"Success is the goal, but it's not the purpose.

This was a busy week for Jesse and Jenn. They went back to back to back to back interviews and live streams. And the result? We are just full of gratitude and joy, sort of like a piñata that we hope you do not hit with a bat.Our conversation pivots from the sorting hat fun Sam and Jesse are having on Substack to SpaceX's new IPO and the creepy clause in the verbage. We dive into a quick pondering of why tech bros hate us humans so much, which ends up, of course, with us fingerling over Peppermint Patty. And hey, this is what we found out off mic about the President and his use of the phrase, "Good grief!" Just sayin'.Yes, President Trump has occasionally used the phrase “good grief,” although it is not a staple in his typical vocabulary. He used the expression in a 2017 CNN interview when discussing criminal justice and police conduct, responding to the premise of a reporter's question.Send us Fan MailSupport the showSupport Curious Cat, an independent, human-made podcast!Anxious about AI?
