What if the moment you finally said “enough” became the spark that built your legacy? We sit down with DeShandra (Monet) Cullins—a survivor, mother of five, entrepreneur, and author of You Good, Sis?—who turned lifelong trauma into a blueprint for healing, purpose, and generational change. From escaping intimate partner violence to walking into a shelter with her daughters, she shares the precise steps that moved her from survival mode to building a beauty brand that began in a women's shelter and grew into a platform for women's empowerment.DeShandra opens up about complex PTSD and why it's often misread as “just depression.” She breaks down how chronic trauma reshapes a nervous system, how EMDR helped her separate triggers from identity, and how simple daily structure—miracle mornings, hydration, journaling—became anchors that outlast motivation. We also spotlight the insidious tactics of financial abuse and the practical pivots that counter them: turning tax refunds into startup capital, learning credit repair and business credit, and using honest landlord letters to rebuild housing stability.At the heart of the episode is ROOTS, her five-part framework—Reveal, Own, Open, Turn, Sustain—that integrates inner work with business strategy. You'll hear how bold lipstick shades named for power and courage helped her reclaim her voice, why “Monet” was armor and “DeShandra” is integration, and how the You Good, Sis? book and journal teach check-ins that prevent burnout before it breaks us. If you care about survivor advocacy, faith-informed healing, entrepreneurship, or building legacy from hard beginnings, this story will change how you think about resilience.Learn more about DeShandra and her work at www.deshandracullins.com or www.discoveringdeshandrasolutions.com and on Instagram at @discovering.deshandra

Guest Nuno Loureiro Panelists Eriol Fox | Victory Brown Show Notes In this episode of Sustain, host Eriol Fox and co-host Victory Brown are live with Nuno Loureiro, Lead Designer at the Ethereum Foundation, at Devconnect Conference in Buenos Aires. Nuno shares his journey in digital design and discusses his role in focusing on ethereum.org. He highlights the challenges of designing for open source platforms, including the difficulty of onboarding and collaborating with designers. He also touches on UX challenges in the context of blockchain technology, emphasizing the importance of trust and design for mass adoption of open source tools. The discussion further explores how the Ethereum Foundation engages with the community for design feedback and the decentralized nature of project narratives. The episode concludes with Nuno spotlighting Penpot, a tool he believes is changing the landscape design. Hit download now to hear more! [00:00:34] Nuno shares his background in digital and product design and joining Ethereum Foundation to focus on Ethereum.org as a learning portal. [00:02:13] He shares the biggest design challenges at the Ethereum Foundation starting out with a major challenge which was opening a design system to open source collaboration. [00:04:08] Eriol asks how good design and usability relate to sustainable open source. Nuno argues UX is the main blocker for mass adoption of open source tools and uses tools like GIMP as an example. [00:05:00] Victory asks how Nuno brings more designers into the ecosystem and elevates design conversations. He admits he's “not doing enough” and notes how hard it is to balance paid work with open source contributions and critiques designers, including himself, as poor collaborators compared with developers. [00:06:27] Eriol reflects on how both coders and designers get deeply attached to their work, and notes that vulnerability and openness to critique are hard but necessary for sustainability of open source to grow. [00:07:54] Eriol brings up Vitalik's talk, Founder of Ethereum, at Funding the Commons, where he emphasized reliability as critical to UX and poses a question to Nuno. He explains what Ethereum Foundation's current “three mantras” are. [00:11:49] A question is brought up about how design decisions for new features are made inside Ethereum and what others can learn. Nuno clarifies the Ethereum Foundation does not own the protocol or roadmap and is a community based approach. [00:13:26] Victory asks how Ethereum gathers UX feedback from users. Nuno says they rely heavily on third party projects that do their own UX research. [00:14:43] Nuno spotlights Penpot, an open source design tool he uses and believes is changing the design landscape.

Thank you to the folks at Sustain for providing the hosting account for CHAOSSCast! CHAOSScast- Episode 128 Check out the original GR-OSS OUT episode on the GR-OSS OUT podcast: https://podcast.gr-oss.io/15-openssf-community In this episode of CHAOSScast, we have a special crossover episode with the GR-OSS OUT podcast, hosted by Tabatha DiDomenico from G-Research and featuring special guest Stacey Potter, Community Manager at the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF). Stacey shares her journey into open source, which started in software license compliance and marketing before she found her passion in community-building through projects like Weaveworks and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) ecosystem. Her experience spans the full project lifecycle from early-stage incubation to graduation, giving her a unique perspective on how healthy, sustainable open source communities grow. A central theme of the conversation is what makes open source communities truly welcoming. Stacey emphasizes the importance of clear documentation, accessible contribution guidelines, well-labeled “good first issues,” and, above all, kindness. Reducing the fear of “doing it wrong” is critical, especially for newcomers who may feel intimidated by contributing code in public. Creating psychological safety helps transform curiosity into long-term participation, and contributors feel mentored rather than judged. Community health, she notes, is fundamentally about people, not just processes or tooling. The discussion also explores how marketing skills translate into community leadership. Stacey reflects on the difference between top-down messaging aimed at executives and bottom-up engagement with developers. Understanding your audience, meeting contributors where they are, and fostering authentic relationships are essential to building trust. At OpenSSF, she is helping shift perceptions so contributors understand that participation is open to everyone, not just member organizations. She also believes it's important to support education initiatives and strengthen developer experience across projects. Finally, Stacey highlights several OpenSSF initiatives and projects that could benefit from broader community involvement, including Scorecard, Minder, and OpenVEX. She also previews upcoming events and a new ambassador program designed to make open source security more accessible, and even fun! The episode closes with encouragement for listeners to get involved, contribute to the projects they rely on, and help build secure, welcoming open source ecosystems.

You hit a great month, maybe your first £10k, £20k, maybe £50k and you're buzzing. Then next month... nothing. You're back to wondering if anyone's going to buy, back to panic mode, back to good old chaos.Stable success is built in the boring repetition that comes after the peak. And for high achievers? Boring feels dangerous. You're used to the adrenaline, the rush of a surprise sale, the high of not knowing if it'll work.But chaos with good outcomes isn't stability.In today's episode, I'm breaking down what stable success actually looks like when £20k, £30k, £50k months aren't your high, they're your baseline. I'm walking you through the five pillars that allow you to hold consistent revenue: predictability, boring discipline, clean boundaries, emotional neutrality and not panicking. And I'm giving you the subconscious work and action steps to build each one.If you've been hitting great months but can't seem to sustain them... This one's for you.Topics covered on Stable Success:Why does predictable revenue feel less exciting than chaotic wins?What does boring discipline actually look like in practice (and why your brain resists it)?How do clean boundaries protect your capacity to scale without burning out?Why does emotional neutrality matter more than celebrating every win?What's the subconscious pattern that triggers panic mode when things feel quiet?How do you track your numbers without getting lost in data?What are the non-negotiables that actually move revenue in your business?How do you teach your subconscious that slow doesn't mean broken?Connect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeFind the full show notes & more resources at www.rebeccahaydon.com/podcast/

I'm joined by Dr. Špela Šalamon, Nuclear Medicine Specialist Physician and biomedical scientist. She has contributed to global efforts in understanding and mitigating the impacts of COVID-19 and published several papers addressing the risks following COVID-19 infections, emphasizing the necessity for proactive health measures. In October of last year, she co-authored and published the AJPM Focus review article, COVID-19 is “Airborne AIDS”: provocative oversimplification, emerging science, or something in between? The review compares and contrasts “observations of the immunological impacts of COVID-19 and HIV infections […] examining shared and distinct mechanisms, such as immune dysfunction, vulnerability to opportunistic infections, accelerated aging and neurocognitive disorders, […] highlight[ing] critical parallels and their implications.” // Episode notes + transcript: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/spela-salamon // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast

Guest Lucas Fada Panelists Eriol Fox | Victory Brown Show Notes In this episode of Sustain, host Eriol Fox and co-host Victory Brown speak with Lucas Fada, the head of partnerships at Drips Network. Lucas shares insights from his over a decade of experience in early-stage startups, focusing on making open source software projects financially sustainable through strategic partnerships. They discuss the methodologies Lucas employs to secure funding for open source projects, the types of projects that attract funders, and how Drips Network aims to create a 'super app' for funding open source builders. Lucas also provides valuable advice for open source projects on becoming more visible to funders and highlights the essential role of ecosystems like Web3 in supporting open source. Additionally, he emphasizes the importance of moving beyond traditional philanthropy and crisis management in open source funding. Press download to hear more! [00:00:23] Eriol introduces Lucas, and he explains what doing partnerships for Drips Network entails. [00:01:50] Before approaching funders, Lucas shares that Drips looks for people or teams that have already funded OSS or spoken publicly about it. [00:02:56] Victory wonders what kind of projects funders are interested in. Lucas explains funders tend to focus on high-visibility libraries rather than deep dependencies and goes into funder motivations to “give back” vs ecosystem needs. [00:05:17] How can projects become more fundable? Lucas dives into this in two parts and he announces they are building a ‘super app' for funding open source builders. [00:07:49] Lucas elaborates on what package registries could do. One example he mentions is that Drips launched a “Fund Me” button for GitHub repos, like “Buy Me a Coffee” but crypto-based and fee free. [00:09:19] Eriol notes that many projects associate marketing with proprietary, corporate culture, but marketing is really just communication. Lucas suggests the community could develop a shared marketing team that helps projects share their story. [00:10:53] What can funders do proactively to support open source and critical digital infrastructure? Lucas' top advice is: Talk to your own developers. [00:13:07] Why Web3? It's one of the most OSS-driven spaces; blockchains are typically open source and modular. Lucas wants OSS funding to move out of philanthropy/emergency rescue mode into something more strategic and ongoing. [00:15:25] Lucas shares how they are making OSS maintenance a viable elaborating on how Drips is building funding pathways for different stages of an OSS career: Dependency funding, Direct grants, Retroactive grants, and Drips Wave. [00:17:58] Drips is working with UNICEF to create funding mechanisms for several high use Digital Public Goods and how governments in the global south could encourage youth to join open source bounties. Eriol acknowledges skepticism about bounties and highlights their benefits.

Guest Devansh Mehta Panelists Eriol Fox | Victory Brown Show Notes In this episode of Sustain, host Eriol Fox and co-host Victory Brown are at Devconnect Conference in Buenos Aires with Devansh Mehta from the Ethereum Foundation, to unpack one of the hardest problems in open source: how to fund the public good infrastructure that everything else depends on fairly, ethically, and at scale. They dig into quadratic funding, “credit assignment,” dependency graphs, Goodhart's Law, and how AI can help, without taking over. Also, why open networks still struggle to compete with corporations and what new funding mechanisms like Deep Funding are trying to change. Hit download now to hear more! [00:00:22] Eriol introduces Devansh, and he tells us about the work he does at Ethereum Foundation. [00:01:32] He explains two core problems: Funding loop and Credit assignment. [00:03:57] He identifies two failure modes: Popularity contests and lobbying & favoritism and shares why he found quadratic funding very liberating. [00:05:48] Devansh uses Bitcoin as a simple model: miners get all the credit for a block and the new BTC is the funding loop. [00:06:51] He defines public goods as value created minus value captured and argues the real challenge is linking revenue centers to cost centers. [00:09:19] Devansh proposes a 3-step model for connecting revenue and OSS dependencies: Build an accurate dependency graph, weight the edges, capturing “how much value I get from you, and send money into one address and let it flow through the graph by weights. [00:11:28] Goodhart's law is explained, and Devansh warns metrics like stars/downloads break once tied directly to money and he gives some solutions to use non-deterministic AI and human judgement. [00:16:04] Victory wonders how we can make this more ethical. Devansh notes that experts have the biggest conflict of interest, and he introduces cryptographic ideas: Confusion and Diffusion. [00:18:27] Devansh analogizes funding mechanisms are like recommendation algorithms and critiques the current RFP/grant system common in non-Web3 open source. [00:21:01] Find out where you can follow Devansh on the internet and he shares the Ethereum Foundation believes in the “policy of subtraction” and highlights some key partners in deep funding: Seer, Pond, and Drips.

Philip takes a look at the latest from FUSD. Several Superintendents from some of the largest school districts in California are calling for the state to make changes to the public-school funding model.

Thank you to the folks at Sustain for providing the hosting account for CHAOSScast! CHAOSScast – Episode 127 In this episode of CHAOSScast, host Alice is joined by Matt Trifiro from the Commercial Open Source Startup Alliance (COSSA) and Daniel Izquierdo, CEO of Bitergia and co-founder of the CHAOSS Community. The discussion delves into the importance of open source community health metrics in shaping successful commercial strategies for startups. Matt shares COSSA's mission to support the growth of venture-funded open source projects by fostering collaboration among founders, investors, and customers. Daniel discusses how community health can influence the sustainability and innovation of projects. They also explore the future goals of COSSA, including establishing a working group to develop standardized metrics for evaluating community contributions and business value. Press download now to hear more! [00:00:29] Matt and Daniel introduce themselves and their backgrounds. [00:01:56] Matt explains COSSA's mission. [00:02:58] Matt cites evidence that community health can correlate with business outcomes and that investment can improve community indicators, and there's a discussion on moving beyond vanity metrics like GitHub stars. [00:05:13] Daniel shares his perspective from the Open Compliance Summit (Tokyo) and the supply chain/corporate lens: organizations want confidence the software will be safe and still maintained years from now, and he talks about measuring health via collaboration networks. [00:08:34] Matt breaks value into two buckets: Distribution and IP/innovation to explain how open source communities create startup value. Daniel adds that open source and can reduce procurement friction. [00:12:23] They touch on open source as a path to standards. [00:14:50] Matt describes how COSSA supports the startups: education, best practices, and measurement and his goal is to “convert community metrics into dollars.” Daniel notes the need for a baseline framework, then customization by industry. [00:19:38] What's next for COSSA? Matt shares COSSA is being bootstrapped, received initial Linux Foundation support, and is pursuing seed style funding. His planned membership structure is investors, founders, and customers. [00:20:36] Daniel and Matt discuss making the metric framework transparent, likely anchored via CHAOSS, and the goal to building a “Rosetta Stone” between investors and community. [00:25:49] There's a conversation on rug pulls, incentives, and lack of a shared framework. [00:28:21] Matt describes the “covenant” concept. [00:30:34] Alice wraps with mentioning COSSA's direction is clear, and a working group could be on the ramp for broader community participation. Value Adds (Picks) of the week: [00:31:20] Alice's pick is visiting outdoor Christmas light displays after dark. [00:32:27] Matt's pick is his oldest son's finishing his first semester in college.

Fast wins feel good, but they often leave you burnt out and disconnected. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf talks with Jake Knox, author of Oak Logs and Gasoline, about why slow growth is not a delay, it is the foundation. This episode is for anyone chasing results but feeling scattered, stressed, or emotionally “behind.” You will learn how to shift from quick fixes to steady fuel through small, practical habits that build resilience at work, at home, and in how you relate to yourself. About the Guest: Jake Knox is the author of Oak Logs and Gasoline and a mentor-focused coach. He shares lessons shaped by years of conversations while raising four boys, using a “campfire” metaphor to teach sustainable growth. Key Takeaways: Use “oak logs vs gasoline” to spot what is sustainable vs what is just urgency. Watch for “mess in between” as a sign your pace is too fast. Reduce stress by finishing small basics before stacking bigger goals. Build connection by being present in short daily moments with loved ones. Reset fast with 3 to 5 minutes of breathing and gratitude. Stack small wins to rebuild momentum without overwhelm.

Do you ever start a new year or goal feeling motivated and clear, only to find yourself burned out or back at square one a few weeks later? In this episode, we break down the 3 patterns that separate leaders who sustain results from those who keep starting over. You'll learn: ✅ Why your health struggles aren't a discipline problem, but a self-leadership gap ✅ Why goals don't stick for high performers ✅ How focusing only on results or "winging it" keeps you stuck ✅ What leaders who thrive long-term do differently This episode will hekp you create a clear blueprint for an extraordinary year of health, energy, and growth... without burnout. Tune in and learn how to lead yourself first so you can finally make results stick. Highlights The 3 hidden patterns that cause high-performing leaders to burn out or keep starting over with their health goals. Why discipline and consistency aren't the real problem—and how self-leadership is the missing skill. The difference between outcome-focused, process-focused, and identity-based change (and why identity is the key to results that stick). How "winging it" creates decision fatigue—and why leaders who sustain results rely on structure and systems instead of motivation. How to build a clear, identity-driven blueprint for an extraordinary year of health, energy, and growth without burnout.

Guest Nixo Rokish Panelists Eriol Fox | Victory Brown Show Notes In this live episode of Sustain from Devconnect in Buenos Aires, host Eriol Fox and co-host Victory Brown sit down with Nixo Rokish, Protocol Support Lead at the Ethereum Foundation, to unpack how Ethereum's deeply decentralized governance actually works in practice. They dive into the nuts and bolts of coordinating 100+ core contributors across 11+ client teams, why neutral facilitation is crucial, how Ethereum's upgrade and EIP process avoids “single maintainer” failure modes, and what lessons other open source projects can steal to make their own governance more sustainable. The episode concludes with Nixo promoting the EthStaker project focused on decentralized staking. Hit download now to hear more! [00:00:38] Nixo explains Ethereum as a rare example of truly decentralized governance and she describes the Protocol Coordination team. [00:02:25] Why does this governance model matter for sustainability? Nixo says most projects rely on 1-2 key people and if they leave, the project can stall or die. [00:04:09] Eriol asks if anyone resists this decentralized, community-led governance model. Nixo says active participants are mostly enthusiastic about the process and the main friction from VCs wanting more control and social media “ship faster” pressure. [00:05:51] Eriol talks about money and influence entering open source projects and Nixo shares that core devs are motivated by building systems for many people, not concentrating profit. [00:08:00] Nixo walks through the Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) process. [00:11:38] Victory asks how they manage consensus with so many people and companies involved. Nixo explains 11+ client times, only one is within EF, other are independent companies/nonprofits. [00:13:36] Eriol reacts to how impressive it is that devs can reach consensus via facilitation and asks Nixo for advice for smaller open source projects that want to adopt similar practices. Her key advice is to have a neutral facilitator. [00:16:13] Nixo shares where you can find her on the internet and she spotlights a project she used to work at called, EthStaker.

In this episode, Jason Schroeder breaks down 3S and 5S. Sort, Set in Order, Sweep/Shine, Standardize, and Sustain and explains why cleanliness is the foundation of safety, quality, and flow. He shares why many teams fail by treating 5S as cosmetic instead of cultural, and how stability and standardization make problems visible so they can actually be solved. Jason also explains why some teams start with 3S first, and how daily cleanliness habits unlock continuous improvement and respect for people. What you'll learn in this episode: The difference between 3S and 5S and when each should be used. Why cleanliness is a prerequisite for safety and quality not an afterthought. How standardization makes problems visible instead of hiding them. Why clean environments change human behavior and enable total participation. How daily 3S/5S habits lead directly to Kaizen and continuous improvement. If cleanliness reveals the truth about your system, what is your current environment telling you right now?

A relationship that has never been stress-tested does not qualify as stable. It qualifies as unverified. Absence of visible rupture does not equal strength. It equals absence of data. Tonight's episode challenges the cultural reflex that treats raised voices, anger, and fierce disagreement as automatic indicators of toxicity. That reflex confuses discomfort with danger and quiet with health. Constructive conflict operates as a load test. Not to glorify chaos. Not to normalize cruelty. Not to excuse disrespect. A real load test asks one question: Can this bond bend without snapping? When two people enter a heated, non-violent confrontation and later return with intact respect, restored access, and altered behavior, something measurable occurs. The bond acquires memory. Not memory of pain. Memory of survivability. Memory that disappointment does not equal abandonment. Remember that anger does not equal exile. Memory that rupture does not end belonging. That memory changes the future nervous-system response.

The final episode of Your 2026 Body Blueprint brings the entire series together.  In Part 1, Ted explained why most men over 40 age faster than they should.     In Part 2, he broke down why weight loss alone doesn't equal health.     In Part 3, he showed how men should train to preserve muscle and strength with minimal time.     In Part 4, he explained why cardio and cardiovascular fitness are essential for longevity—even if you already lift.   And  In Part 5, he shared a clear, evidence-based approach to nutrition that supports metabolic health, longevity, and fat loss without quitting your social life or eliminating foods you enjoy.   And in Part 6, he talked the most underestimated drivers of how you age: sleep, stress, and lifestyle.   Now, in Part 7, Ted explains how to organize everything into a realistic, year-long system built around one outcome goal—fat loss—and the process goals that actually make it achievable. This episode focuses on training structure, cardio decisions, nutrition fundamentals, recovery, measurement, and the behavioral shifts required to make progress stick over time.  You'll learn:  Why choosing one outcome goal leads to better long-term results than chasing multiple goals  How to structure strength training for fat loss while preserving muscle after 40  How calorie and protein tracking simplify fat loss and improve food choices   Why data tracking prevents emotional decision-making and plateaus  How recovery and stress management determine whether fat loss succeeds or fails  Why identity and habit reprogramming matter more than willpower  What Ted discusses in this episode:  (00:00) Introduction  (01:47) Setting Realistic Goals for Long-Term Success  (05:19) Effective Training Strategies for Fat Loss  (12:36) The Role of Cardio in Your Fitness Journey  (16:27) Mastering Nutrition for Optimal Results  (22:03) The Importance of Tracking and Measurement  (24:30) Avoiding Burnout and Ensuring Recovery  (27:18) Behavioral Change and Long-Term Success  (30:48) Client Success Story: Chad's Transformation  (33:15) Final Thoughts and Encouragement

Margo is joined by Daisy Fancourt—Professor of Psychobiology & Epidemiology at UCL and a globally recognized leader in understanding how creativity and social connection influence our health. From her early days designing arts programs inside hospitals to directing major WHO initiatives and publishing over 250 papers, Daisy has spent her career documenting the profound, measurable impact of creative engagement on stress, aging, recovery, cognition, and community wellbeing. In a world that often treats the arts as extra or a luxury, Daisy reframes them as essential—showing how even the simplest creative rituals can foster joy, resilience, health and a deeper sense of belonging in our everyday lives. Margo and Daisy discuss: How Daisy's early work in hospitals revealed the power of creativity as a health tool What research shows about the arts reducing stress and supporting cognitive resilience Why we're conditioned to see creativity as a luxury—and how to reframe it as necessity The role of music, movement, and environment in emotional and physical healing Innovative approaches like dance for Parkinson's and creative play for children with disabilities How small, accessible creative habits can improve daily wellbeing Why talent doesn't matter—process is what delivers the benefits Mentioned in this episode: https://sbbresearch.org/ Connect with Daisy: https://profiles.ucl.ac.uk/44526-daisy-fancourt Art Cure: The Science of How the Arts Transform Our Health Connect with Margo: Website: www.windowsillchats.com Instagram: @windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill https://www.yourtantaustudio.com/thefoundry
