Do you feel more comfortable with a drink in your hand at social events?   For years, my solution to social anxiety was simple: head straight to the bar, grab a drink, and feel that familiar wave of relief wash over me as the edges of my nervousness softened. But what happens when that glass becomes less of a choice and more of a requirement for feeling comfortable around other people?   Listen in this week to hear three thought swaps that will help you start questioning whether you're really more comfortable with a drink in your hand. This isn't about avoiding social situations or telling yourself alcohol is bad. It's about understanding the difference between masking discomfort and actually feeling comfortable in your own skin.   Find a personalized approach that helps you change your habit in my new book, The Ultimate Guide to Drinking Less, here: https://rachelhart.com/guide/   Discover alternative approaches to drinking less inside our membership program, Take a Break: https://rachelhart.com/tab/   Get the full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://rachelhart.com/445

We thought deeply about the societal implications of Paw Patrol before this amazing episode! The main science discussion involved a pair of strange, counter-intuitive wrinkles of physiology. The first was the sometimes paradoxical finding of higher hemoglobin A1c in many elite athletes. The second involved a new paper addressing a connection between suppressed thyroid hormones and low energy availability. Both phenomena demonstrate how physiology is a complex system. Also, it's possible that concerning bloodwork means one thing... or the polar opposite. We have fun breaking it all down!And this one was full of great topics! Other topics: Megan's Just Say No To Rhabdo training run, David's first treadmill workout on the comeback trail, a follow-up on bowls and buckets, the winter training plan, findings jobs in running, the pardon of Michelino Sunseri, running form 101, altitude tents, structuring training weeks, prepping for Survivor, fueling winter races, what to do about elevated heart rate, and lots more.This one is full of nuance. And after you listen, you'll realize that “full of Nuance” should be in the back room and cost extra.We love you all!

What if chronic inflammation, mold exposure, or unresolved emotional stress were silently accelerating osteoporosis or osteopenia?In this eye-opening episode, functional bone health expert Debi Robinson sits down with Dr. Kelly McCann, a leading functional MD and environmental medicine specialist, to uncover the hidden triggers behind bone loss that most women never hear about.Dr. McCann explains how mast cell activation (MCAS), mold toxicity, and environmental chemicals can weaken bones, disrupt hormones, and fuel chronic inflammation. Together, she and Debi explore the deeper terrain of bone health—how your immune system, nervous system, and even emotional experiences shape your risk for osteoporosis and osteopenia.This episode goes far beyond calcium and vitamin D. It's about understanding the environmental, biochemical, and emotional roots of bone loss so you can build strong, resilient bones for life.What You'll LearnHow mast cell activation (MCAS) contributes to inflammation that accelerates bone lossThe link between mold exposure, toxins, and the development of osteoporosis or osteopeniaWhy your symptoms may be communication, not malfunction, especially when it comes to bone healthHow emotional stress, trauma, and dysregulation of the nervous system can weaken bonesPractical, actionable ways to reduce toxic load and support bone densityHow to create balance physically, emotionally, and energetically to strengthen your bones from the inside outAction Steps Audit your environment: Look for hidden mold, water damage, or chemical exposures that may be fueling inflammation and bone loss.Clean up your kitchen: Swap non-stick pans for stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic to reduce toxin exposure that affects bone health.Hydrate and nourish: Drink filtered water and build meals around whole, anti-inflammatory foods to support osteoporosis and osteopenia.Reduce daily toxic load: Avoid synthetic fragrances, plastic bottles, and harsh cleaners that may disrupt hormones and bone density.Calm your stress response: Use breathwork, meditation, or gentle yoga to regulate your nervous system and protect your bones.Seek functional support: Work with a practitioner if you suspect mold toxicity, MCAS, or chronic inflammation impacting your bones.Resources & LinksLearn more about Dr. Kelly McCann: The Spring CenterListen to more episodes of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle PodcastStrengthen from the inside out: Healthy Gut, Healthy Bones ProgramVisit debirobinson.com for resources and upcoming eventsDebi's TakeawayBone health is about much more than nutrients—it's about your environment, your stress levels, and how your body communicates with you.As Dr. McCann reminds us, inflammation, toxins, and emotional stress can erode bone strength just as powerfully as nutritional deficiencies. When you listen to your body, address hidden triggers, and create safety in your inner world, your bones can finally begin to rebuild.Your body isn't failing—it's speaking. The more you listen, the stronger your bones can become.

2023's greenest night started with Mr & Mrs. DTW getting a chance to listen in on us recording our episodes with Jim & Elaine.  We then head to a pre-party dinner with Stacy & Brett, Mr & MrsDTW, Jim & Elaine, Echo & Falcon.  Back at the Sexpartment, we change  where sneakers replaced heels before heading to the club. One lap around the club, Echo suggests to a wide-eyed younger couple the magic word: orgy. They might not join, but 10 of us do and Elaine wastes zero time dropping between Nessa's thighs while Jim's already tangled with strangers. MrsDTW calls shots like a swinger Spielberg; Falcon rails Nessa while Elaine rides her face. Cross-talk, blindfolds, and the first squirt tsunami hits when Elaine unloads on Jim.  Then G finger-blasts her into a room-crossing geyser that freezes eight other mid-thrust bodies in awe. Post-nut, the room's a puddle. The other couple bolts for a shower.  Falcon yanks on G's boxers, frowns “these don't feel right.” Echo hand him his own pair and Falcon returns them to G soaked. Underwear swap = official. Back at the bar, Curtis & Racheal, Grant & Morgan, Rock & Mandy, everyone lipstick-smeared and grinding. Ride home with Jim & Elaine in the backseat, crossing birthday fantasies off a very sticky list.  Email your questions to Nessa here to be part of "Ask Nessa".

How often do you catch yourself thinking, "A drink makes everything better"?   Maybe it's at parties, during vacation, or just unwinding after a long day.

We chocolatized our life before this amazing episode! The main topic was a new study on elite marathoners measuring responses to different carb intakes, finding a 2.6% lower oxygen cost at 120 grams per hour compared to 60 grams per hour. It showed massive carb oxidation rates at high outputs. In 10 years, we might look back on this study as a game-changing moment in the science of endurance performance. And this one had so many cool topics! Other topics: Megan's biggest uphill treadmill threshold workout, David's Zwift racing, the strange connection between energy intake and iron deficiency, how hydration could influence stress responses, the predictive power of smiling in pre-race photos, Anne Flower's 50 mile world record, other records at Tunnel Hill, whether to walk onto the track team, offseason layoffs, race week nutrition, and AI messaging.Stick around for a beautiful affirming Listener Corner message!

What if crypto's brutal UX wasn't a flaw but a feature… for machines? In this episode, Bitcoin OG Erik Voorhees joins us to reveal why crypto wasn't built for people; it was built for AI.

But today, he lays out a thesis few are talking about: that AI will adopt crypto faster than humans ever could, and privacy isn't just a human right, it's a machine necessity.~~~~~

A declining spirit of gratitude is the first warning light that a believer's heart is slipping. Looking to the scriptures, we examine God's clear command to give thanks in everything (1 Thess. 5:18), trace the deadly spiral that begins with ingratitude (Rom. 1:21), and learn how to thank God and the saints around us.Key Scriptures:1 Thessalonians 5:18 – “In every thing give thanks…”Colossians 3:15–17 – Peace ruling, Word dwelling, every act with thanksgiving.Romans 1:21–22 – “Neither were thankful…”2 Timothy 3:2 – “Unthankful” in the last-days list.1 Thessalonians 5:12–13, 18 – Esteem leaders, be at peace, give thanks.Ephesians 1:3 – All spiritual blessings in heavenly places.Psalm 100:4–5 – Israel's thanksgiving (contextual contrast).3-Day Gratitude Reset ChallengeStart any day—finish strong before turkey day!Day 1 (Eph. 5:20): List & read aloud 10 specific spiritual blessings in Christ.Day 2 (Phil. 4:6): Swap every complaint for one thanksgiving prayer.Day 3 (Col. 3:17): Perform one act of service; thank God by name for that person.

Whoever made this movie must have the initials Y and Y, because they are too wise! This week we're talking about The Swap, which has surprisingly become one of our top rated DCOMs. Tune in as BenG and Kelsey discuss how this movie actually has some pretty great heart, the logistics of extending a phone plan so you have more time to reverse a body swap, and why Porter is one of the best characters in all of DCOMS.

In this episode, we sit down with Matt Crosby from Bitcoin Magazine Pro, one of the sharpest data-driven analysts in the game, to unpack whether this bull market is just catching its breath or already topping out. Matt gets into onchain signals, volatility compression, ETF flows, and why the current cycle looks nothing like 2017 or 2021.~~~~~

Are you living a "Thanks... but" life? In this powerful series, "Gratitude," we explore the universal struggle of minimizing God's blessings by focusing on the next problem. We dive into the haunting story of the ten lepers from Luke 17, uncovering the radical choice of the one man who turned back to express his thanks, finding not just a cure, but a spiritual wholeness. We then tackle the ultimate "Gratitude Killer"—the habit of grumbling—revealing how spiritual amnesia and a sense of entitlement turn miracles into monotony. Learn the practical discipline of the "STOP and SWAP" to rewire your heart, interrupt your hurry and worry with worship, and start seeing the daily, miraculous provision of God all around you, allowing you to shine like a star in a crooked generation.

Can Celsius Holding navigate the hidden energy drinks market risks involving the Alani Nu and PepsiCo DSD distribution swap? Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ: CELH) had quarterly revenue of $725.1 million, which was up 173% YoY. Excluding the Alani Nu acquisition-related financial impact, CELSIUS brand revenue grew 44% YoY. And if you were wondering about Alani Nu, it's second quarter revenue was $332 million…which equates to around 99% YoY growth! According to Circana last 13-week retail sales data, CELSIUS increased by 31% YoY...remaining the third-largest energy drink brand in the category with a dollar share of 11.2%. Alani Nu increased retail sales 114% YoY and is now the dominant fourth player in the U.S. energy drinks market with dollar share of 7.2%. And Rockstar Energy retail sales decreased 9% YoY and is the seventh-largest U.S. energy drink with dollar share of 2.4%. If we look at Celsius Holdings combined brand portfolio, it reached 20.8% of dollar share for the last 13-week period...ranking it third and trailing only Red Bull and the combined Monster Beverage portfolio. Additionally, if you were to consider the last 52-week period ending July 20, 2025…Celsius Holdings retail sales surpassed $5 billion. Celsius Holdings has experienced massive growth in convenience stores, foodservice (e.g. fast food restaurants), mass retailers like Walmart, the club channel in retailers like Costco, and the Amazon marketplace. And international expansion presents significant opportunity for incremental growth over the next three to five years. With the Celsius brand basically at full distribution now…growth will be unlocked through a strategic growth framework that John Fieldly recently branded as “more people,” “more places,” and “more often.” The other major aspect of “Celsius Holdings and PepsiCo strengthening its long-term strategic partnership” comes into play, as Alani Nu will move into the PepsiCo DSD distribution system (officially starting in December). Everyone knew the most obvious decision to optimize for a “short-term reward” was Celsius Holdings transitioning Alani Nu from its piecemealed national (mostly independent) DSD network to the PepsiCo system. However, I can't fault Celsius Holdings for making A LOT of noise by effectively “pulling off the biggest “trade” the U.S. energy drinks market has seen over the past decade.” But it's the question around “timing” that has me fired up! But it's time for Celsius Holdings to prepare…because winter is coming! Firstly, Celsius Holdings efficiently must handle market challenges stemming from swapping Alani Nu distribution rights. Next, Celsius Holdings must successfully catch the Rockstar Energy proverbial falling knife. Then, the shift to zero sugar, functional energy drinks, has essentially fueled one of the fastest-growing segments in beverage…and Celsius Holdings had been unequivocally defining it. Yet, with the addition of Rockstar Energy, Celsius Holdings must now reorient itself top to bottom around being a total energy portfolio…and not a performance-forward and modern energy portfolio that possesses this powerful “challenger mindset.”

In this episode, Cosmo Jiang (General Partner at Pantera Capital) breaks down exactly how Solana could grow into a multi-trillion-dollar asset, and why institutions are betting big while retail investors check out.

What's up Bros? We watched another delightful installment of the Wife Swap. Melissa and Joyce trade places as Melissa attempts to be less type A and Joyce learns that keeping the house clean is about more than just cleaning up. Yet again, the swapped family is delightful. Melissa gets close to the kids in a hurry and much like Angie, she is ecstatic to be back with younger kids. Reminds her of the good ol days. On the flipside, Joyce walks into the Gorga's world and a spotless house. Joe even comes off good in this episode. We never expected to love the Wife Swap show so much, but here we are!!!

We stretched the ketones-as-robot-butt metaphor to its limits for this awesome episode! The main topic was a new study measuring fatigue resistance in marathons. Athletes completed lab tests prior to a marathon, with final results correlating with different attributes. Unfortunately, the athletes weren't fueling during the protocol. What is this, 2005?! We broaden it out for conclusions that apply to everyone. Fatigue resistance without carbs is a stupid human trick, and there's no need to play that game.And this one was full of our favorite topics! Other topics: Megan's return to the site of her heart issues 4 years ago, David's scooter debut on the path to going pro, SiS Beta Recovery, the weird science of CurraNZ, how the New York City marathon was influenced by high carb approaches, high carb taking over the roads, the UCI's strange declaration on ketones, mileage ranges in training plans, how training philosophy changes for outliers, dealing with unintentional underfueling, introducing the uphill treadmill, Megan's field hockey and track history, and doubles.We love you all!

We’ve been told that “good” parents never take their eyes off their kids — but what if that’s the very thing making childhood (and parenting) harder? In this fascinating chat, Dr Justin Coulson sits down with Lenore Skenazy — New York Times bestselling author of Free Range Kids and co-founder of Let Grow — whose viral act of letting her 9-year-old ride the NYC subway alone sparked a global movement. Fresh from her TED Talk, Why You Should Spend Less Time With Your Kids, Lenore dismantles the “terrible lie” that children can’t handle life on their own — and reveals why the best learning, confidence, and resilience often happen when parents step back. KEY POINTS The fear-driven parenting trap — and how media and culture made “unsupervised” a dirty word. The myth of “better safe than sorry” and why it’s hurting our kids. How independence builds competence (and true confidence). What happens in a child’s brain when they solve problems without adult help. The staggering truth about “stranger danger” and why it’s wildly overblown. How to make it normal again to just open the door and let kids play. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Independence leads to competence — and competence leads to confidence.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Lenore Skenazy’s TED Talk: Why You Should Spend Less Time With Your Kids Free Range Kids by Lenore Skenazy— New York Times bestseller Let Grow nonprofit: letgrow.org Range by David Epstein ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Open the door. Let your child play or walk somewhere safely on their own. Resist the rescue. When your child faces a small problem, pause before stepping in. Swap “be safe” for “trust yourself.” Let your language build courage, not fear. Talk about freedom. Ask your kids what independence means to them — and listen.

Send us a textIf you're tired of chasing dead-end applications or hearing “we don't accept unsolicited proposals,” this episode is for you. We dig into how to build a smarter pipeline by prioritizing funders that welcome new grantees. Then we tackle the myth of “hard-to-fund” programs (arts, advocacy, civic education, etc.) and show you how reframing your work to match donor priorities can unlock dollars without changing your programming. On this week's episode of The Small Nonprofit Podcast, grant expert DeaRonda Harrison shares practical ways small and mid-sized nonprofits can sharpen their prospecting and reposition “tough” programs, especially in shifting political climates. You'll learn how to identify real opportunities, speak to funder focus areas, and package your outcomes in ways that resonate. The Highlights Prospect where the odds are real: Use research tools to identify funders who funded new grantees last year and build your pipeline around them instead of chasing closed doors. Positioning beats “hard-to-fund”: No program is inherently unfundable; reframe outcomes to align with funder interests. Mindset shift for momentum: Swap “our program is hard to fund” for “we haven't matched the right funder-message fit, yet.” Save time, increase wins: Stop spending time on “no unsolicited proposals” and redirect to open, new-grantee-friendly funders. Actionable Tips for Nonprofits Start your list with “new grantees” filters: Find 20–30 funders who added new organizations last year; prioritize by alignment and deadlines. Write a 1-paragraph positioning brief: For each program, list the community problem, your outcome, and 1–2 crosswalks to current funder priorities (e.g., “street outreach → community building”). Qualify fast: If a funder is closed to unsolicited proposals and has no pathway to connect, park them for later and move on. Collect proof points: Gather quotes, stories, or early indicators (surveys, sign-ups, attendance) that validate your reframed outcomes. Resources and Links Connect with our host, Maria Rio Connect with our guest, DeaRonda Harrison DeaRonda's website  Support our show.

Today's episode explores an array of different tangets: most notably, Sacco-era Mercedes-Benzes, the ALSO Elecric Bike, and a broad discussion of manual swaps. === This episode is sponsored by Battery Tender. Visit https://www.batterytender.com/ and use code HAGERTY20 for 20% off. === Derek and Jason begin the episode discussing yet another Sacco-era Mercedes-Benz fleet update - Derek's newly acquired W140 Mercedes-Benz S500 Grand Edition and the installation of a new steering box on Jason's 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth. Jason then takes a turn to discuss the new ALSO Electric Bike, a sister company of Rivian. The first Series-Hybrid Bicycle of its kind, the ALSO draws parallels in function to road cars like BMW i3 REX, where both vehicle have a backup generator propelled by an alternate energy source (in this case, pedal power). Jason gives reason for why car enthusiasts should take an interest in this new two-wheeled technology and how it might change the future of mobility. Naturally, conversation finds its way into the discussion of manual swaps and whether or not there is a case in which a manual swap is unfavorable vs. an automatic. Derek and Jason extrapolate on different types of manual swaps (IE: modifying a semi-automated manual in a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale vs replacing an automatic transmission in a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG).

Ever feel like your team is living inside a 24-hour breaking news cycle? We've been there—where every email, rumor, or policy tweak turns into a fire drill and the loudest voice sets the tone. Today we unpack a simple shift that changes everything: stop breaking glass, and start to breathe and elevate. It's not about dialing down ambition; it's about dialing down drama so urgency becomes productive, not performative.We talk through how media-style panic hijacks leadership judgment and why a smaller, saner information diet actually boosts performance. Then we get practical. Breathe means pause on purpose—step away, regulate, and buy time so your brain can think instead of react. Elevate means zoom out—expand the time horizon, define the real problem, and map options you can't see when you're nose-to-glass with the issue. With that reset, you can run two clocks: stabilize quickly on the surface while you work the root under the hood.Along the way, we share how calm leaders set culture by how they react. Label levels of urgency so not everything becomes a five-alarm. Swap gossip loops for clear ownership and timelines. Use simple, steady language—what changed, what we know, what's next—to lower heart rates and raise signal. If your org values constant alarms, it might cap your growth; the market increasingly rewards leaders who deliver under pressure without turning every update into a spectacle.If you're ready to build trust, retain talent, and make sharper calls when things go sideways, this conversation will be your toolkit. Share it with a colleague who keeps the figurative hammer within reach, and try the breathe and elevate practice on your next “emergency.” Subscribe, leave a quick review, and tell us: what helps you zoom out when the heat rises?--Visit the Lone Rock Leadership Website:https://www.lonerock.ioConnect with me on LinkedIn or to send me a DM:https://www.linkedin.com/in/russleads/Tap here to check out my first book, Decide to Lead, on Amazon.

I sat down with Cara Chatellier, the founder and creative director of Bubbly Creative, to talk about something that hits home for every small business owner, the little things. You know, those simple, doable tweaks that don't require a rebrand or a six-month strategy sprint, yet somehow manage to make your marketing sparkle. Cara calls them her “five tiny fixes,” and I couldn't wait to dig in. Cara's agency focuses on helping women-led service businesses stand out with personality and polish. Her approach is rooted in storytelling, strategy, and plenty of real-world experience. What I love about her “tiny fixes” is that they're both practical and immediately actionable, the kind of steps that give you momentum while you're building toward the big picture. Here are a few highlights from our conversation: 1. Show Your Face Cara's first piece of advice is one that makes many small business owners squirm: put yourself out there. Literally. Swap the stock photos and text-heavy posts for images of you and your team. A professional photo shoot is worth the investment, not just because it looks great, but because it builds trust. When people can see who they're working with, they're more likely to connect and buy. 2. Don't Ignore Google Business Think of your Google Business Profile as a free billboard that most folks forget to update. Add photos, post updates, and ask for client reviews. Even with AI changing how people search, Google still looks inward first. Keeping your profile fresh helps you stay visible and relevant. 3. Ask for Feedback, the Right Way Sometimes, the best marketing insights come from the people you want to reach, not the ones already on your team. Cara suggests gathering a small group from your target audience, maybe five to ten people, and asking them to look at your content, website, or social posts. No sales pitch, just honest opinions. You might be surprised by what they see that you don't. 4. Tell Your Story on Video This is the one that makes even confident entrepreneurs gulp: video. Cara swears by it because it humanizes your brand faster than any post or blog ever could. Start small, a short clip about your founder story or a behind-the-scenes look at your work. If you're nervous, use a teleprompter app or jot down a few bullet points to stay on track. And if you really can't face the camera yet, write out your story and share it with a few photos. Then revisit it every six months as a reintroduction to your audience. 5. Stay Curious (and Keep Learning) Cara's fifth tip was the one we didn't have time to cover on the show, a little mystery to encourage you to head over to Bubbly Creative and discover the rest for yourself. Trust me, it's worth it. Key Takeaways A few small tweaks can give your marketing fresh energy without overwhelming your to-do list. Personal photos and video build connection and credibility faster than any stock image ever will. Google Business is free, underused, and powerful, make it part of your content routine. Feedback from your ideal audience is marketing gold; you just have to ask. The more you share your authentic story, the more magnetic your brand becomes. If you want to dive deeper into Cara's “tiny fixes,” head over to Bubbly Creative and check out her insights. Because sometimes, it's not the sweeping overhaul that changes your business, it's the little things you finally take the time to do.

The Kenyan Treasury last month announced a breakthrough in its years-long effort to restructure billions of dollars still owed to the China Exim Bank that were used to build the Standard Gauge Railway. The two sides agreed to convert the remaining $3.5 billion of debt from higher-interest-rate U.S. dollar-denominated loans to more affordable yuan-denominated loans, which would potentially generate $215 million in savings for the Treasury. Both Ethiopia and Indonesia are also in talks with Chinese creditors doing the same kind of currency swap to restructure billions of dollars of railway loans. Yufan Huang, a pre-doctoral fellow with the China-Africa Research Initiative at Johns Hopkins University and one of the world's leading experts on Chinese debt restructuring, joins Eric to discuss Kenya's new swap and why the promised savings could be illusory.
