Scott Gussin grew up in New York, lost his mother at seven years old in a moment that changed the direction of everything that followed, fell into selling weed and hash and LSD coming of age in the 1960s and 70s, and eventually built one of the most specific and most audacious international drug smuggling operations available — bringing hash from Morocco to the United States across a career that spanned thirty years before it finally ended. _____________________________________________ #crimestory #drugsmugglers #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to AG1 & HUNGRYROOT for sponsoring this episode: AG1: For a limited time, save 20% on your first subscription order of AG1 Next Gen or AG1 Pro at https://drinkag1.com/lockedin _____________________________________________ Hungryroot: Explore my Hungryroot Digital Cookbook "The Commissary Upgrade" at https://hungryroot.com/LOCKEDIN _____________________________________________ Buy Scott's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Gus-All-Years-Combined-Samson/dp/B0H34MTKSV _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Roadblock with hash on board 00:37 Guest intro: Scott's story 00:57 Growing up in Portchester 01:21 Losing his mom at 7 03:37 A parade of housekeepers 06:59 The housekeepers get weird 08:03 Getting into weed at 15 10:42 Meeting Reuben and the LSD 13:58 Hash vs. weed explained 17:28 Pricing the product 20:00 Spotting 'heads' back then 22:45 Only two straight jobs 25:05 The ignorant law enforcement 26:18 Cops don't recognize hash 27:25 A trippy traffic stop 32:26 Acid buddy becomes a JW 37:23 After high school 38:18 Dodging the Vietnam draft 40:56 College for connections 44:40 Hitching with a pound of weed 46:16 The business mindset 47:42 Leaving college for California 48:09 Meeting Cassidy and the Morocco plan 50:47 The cocaine trip that wasn't 54:30 Selling the boat, new plan 57:03 Bringing Stella along 58:59 Buying the VW bus 01:01:39 Buying hash on the mountain 01:05:28 Driving with 44 pounds 01:07:09 Coming upon a roadblock 01:10:47 Getting past the roadblock 01:13:52 Setting up at the beach house 01:16:34 Building the secret stash bed 01:18:57 A month in Morocco 01:20:00 The sign to leave 01:22:45 The Moroccan customs search 01:27:20 The ferry and the dolphins 01:28:24 Easy entry into Spain 01:32:40 Cassidy's anger and laughter 01:33:46 Shipping the bus to Montreal 01:35:28 Swapping the bed in Canada 01:37:53 Crossing into the US with the bed 01:39:13 Selling the hash, big profits 01:43:36 Trust in the old days 01:44:29 Bust risks in Spain and Morocco 01:46:19 The failed second attempt 01:49:01 The near-disastrous boat trip 01:54:15 How long did the career last? 01:54:55 Back to New York, then Arizona 01:59:32 The Laguna Beach connection 02:02:20 Cowboy Neil's operation 02:04:41 The North County partnership 02:07:12 Weighing and distributing 02:09:00 The two-year plan 02:10:16 Thai stick and new markets 02:14:19 The big deal in Laguna 02:17:20 The gift suitcase 02:18:51 The DEA roadblock 02:21:17 Three hours of interrogation 02:25:00 The search comes up empty 02:27:24 Scared straight by the DEA 02:29:04 Overall earnings and taxes 02:32:59 The DEA's advice: leave California 02:36:41 Moving to Florida and new businesses 02:38:00 The mistake that ended it all _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka
Carbs have become the new "fat is bad." Moms are showing up terrified of bread, rice, even fruit. In this episode, Brooke breaks down whether carbs actually cause weight gain, how many you really need, and the one shift that matters far more than cutting carbs out completely. What You'll Learn Carbs aren't the enemy, the type is what matters. Weight gain usually comes from processed, low-fiber carbs, not carbs in general. Swapping for higher fiber, more nutrient-dense options changes everything. There's no universal carb number. Needs shift based on activity level, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and life stage. A balanced plate matters more than hitting a specific gram target. Simple swaps make a big difference. Chickpea or lentil pasta, a brown rice and quinoa mix, higher fiber bread, and protein-packed breakfasts keep you fuller and prevent blood sugar crashes. Fiber needs increase with perimenopause and menopause. Aim for 25 to 30 grams a day. Higher fiber intake is linked to lower insulin resistance and even a 20% lower risk of hot flashes. Pairing carbs with protein and fat prevents blood sugar spikes. This is what actually curbs bingeing, not carb elimination. Keto isn't necessary for most moms. It has a place for specific medical conditions, but it's not the default answer for everyday weight loss. Carbs aren't what's derailing your progress, the type and the pairing are. Swap in more fiber, balance your plate with protein and healthy fats, and stop fearing the foods that actually give you energy to keep up with your kids.

Today's youth are reinventing what it means to be cool. A surprising number of Gen Zers are actively looking to the past. They are choosing to romanticise old-school tech relics like CDs, wired headphones, and weighty digital cameras. This love for all things vintage extends into their wardrobes with a massive resurgence of Y2K (year 2000) fashion. Friday nights are increasingly filled with board games and classic card games. So why exactly is the most digitally advanced generation trying so hard to rewind?当今的年轻人正在重新定义“酷”的含义。 数量惊人的 Z 世代正在积极回顾过去。 他们选择将 CD、有线耳机和笨重的数码相机等老式科技文物浪漫化。 随着 Y2K(2000 年)时尚的大规模复兴,这种对所有复古事物的热爱也延伸到了他们的衣柜中。 周五晚上越来越多地充满了棋盘游戏和经典纸牌游戏。 那么,为什么数字化最先进的一代人如此努力地尝试倒带呢?The answer lies in a desire to slow down and find comfort. Growing up as digital natives has its perks, but Profectus Magazine reveals that around 80% of Gen Z adults worry their generation is far too dependent on technology, while three-quarters feel social media is affecting their mental health. Swapping music streaming for physical CDs or endless social media scrolling for a tactile board game allows them to unplug and step away from the digital noise. 答案在于渴望放慢脚步并寻找安慰。 成长为数字原住民有其好处,但 Profectus 杂志透露,大约 80% 的 Z 世代成年人担心他们这一代人过于依赖技术,而四分之三的人认为社交媒体正在影响他们的心理健康。 将音乐流转为实体 CD,或将无尽的社交媒体滚动转为触觉棋盘游戏,让他们能够摆脱数字噪音。 This analogue revival could actually be good for everyone. Research by psychologist Dr. Clay Routledge shows that engaging with nostalgic media and traditions can dramatically boost positive moods, reduce anxiety and help people cope with daily stress. It suggests that nostalgia can act as a stabilising, hopeful force, helping a young generation build social confidence. 这种模拟技术的复兴实际上对每个人都有好处。 Research by psychologist Dr. Clay Routledge shows that engaging with nostalgic media and traditions can dramatically boost positive moods, reduce anxiety and help people cope with daily stress. 它表明,怀旧可以成为一种稳定、充满希望的力量,帮助年轻一代建立社会信心。 Yet, all of this begs a fascinating question – can a generation truly yearn for a life they never actually lived? Studies published in Profectus Magazine show that nearly 70% of Gen Z adults experience a unique kind of historical nostalgia for eras that predated their own birth. GWI, a global market research company, reports that young people are looking back at the past through rose-tinted glasses, viewing it as a time of genuine human interaction.然而,所有这一切都引出了一个令人着迷的问题——一代人真的能够向往他们从未真正经历过的生活吗? Profectus 杂志发表的研究表明,近 70% 的 Z 世代成年人对自己出生之前的时代有一种独特的历史怀旧之情。 全球市场研究公司 GWI 报告称,年轻人正在带着有色眼镜回顾过去,将其视为真正的人际互动时代。Though there have been mixed reactions from millennials, ultimately, Gen Z's obsession with the past suggests that no matter how advanced our gadgets get, human beings may always desire a simpler way of living. For a generation that grew up entirely online, going vintage isn't just a fashion statement, it's a total vibe.虽然千禧一代的反应不一,但 Z 世代对过去的痴迷最终表明,无论我们的设备变得多么先进,人类可能总是渴望一种更简单的生活方式。 对于完全在网上长大的一代人来说,复古不仅仅是一种时尚宣言,更是一种整体氛围。

Does your caseload include kids who only want the piggy bank, the ball chute, or the same three dinosaur figures? This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at how I move children out of the cause-effect and sensory-toy stage and into richer, more complex play, without losing the relationship or the child's motivation along the way. I'm sharing a three-step bridging process I use to expand play repertoires, build executive function, and grow narrative and language skills, all while still honoring what the child already loves. What we cover: • Why variety matters: the research behind why a broader repertoire of toys and play experiences leads to better long-term outcomes • Step 1: Build rapport first: using a parent input form to learn a child's favorite toys, shows, and characters, and why front-loading relationship pays off • Step 2: Bridge, don't replace: three concrete ways to bridge high-interest and sensory activities into task-oriented movement activities: ◦ Blending sensory play (like a beans/mud bin) into a structured task ◦ Adding movement breaks to build attention and increase vocalizations ◦ Swapping the theme while keeping the structure the same • Step 3: Why task-oriented movement activities work: how they naturally build the problem → plan → action → check sequence of executive function, and lay the foundation for strong narrative skills (vocabulary, grammar, syntax, and verbal working memory) • A real example using 'The Little Blue Truck' activity from my SIS membership, including how I use songs, stickers, and movement to keep kids engaged • How to fade supports over time as kids get comfortable with the new routine Links Mentioned in This Episode

For thousands of years, clothing came straight from nature: linen from flax, cotton from the plant, wool from sheep.In the last century, synthetic fibers like polyester, spandex, and acrylic took over our closets, and most of us have never stopped to ask what that shift might be doing to us.In this episode, I break down the difference between natural and synthetic fibers, and why our skin (our largest organ) reacts so differently to each. I also share a surprising study linking polyester garments to lower fertility in dogs, and dig into the chemical treatments hiding in modern textiles, from flame retardants to stain-resistant coatings.This isn't about tossing your whole wardrobe overnight.

It's about threading purposeful classroom routines through your whole year. You know what phrase lands teachers in hot water? “Turn and talk.” Say those words and you risk either unlocking thoughtful discussion or kicking off thirty seconds of dead silence where one kid does all the heavy lifting. If you're nodding along, you're not alone.Here's the trap: we tell kids “go on, discuss,” and hope magic happens. For years, it seemed like think-pair-share should do the trick, but as revealed in this episode, just telling students to find an elbow partner and chat often flops. The primary keyword phrase—“what makes a first-week activity worth repeating”—shows up early for a reason: because summer icebreakers and one-and-done games are the junk food of classroom culture, and you deserve better.A better way? Lock in a discussion routine that actually gives every secondary student a real shot. The secret sauce described by host Khristen Massic isn't some expensive tech or complicated protocol. It's about adding one overlooked step to your discussion moves: writing. Not just thinking quietly, not just turning and talking, but jamming a quick “write” step right before the share. That move is a game changer for kids who freeze when put on the spot: multilingual learners, quieter kids, those who need extra processing time, and even the ones who get flustered and forget their ideas as soon as the spotlight's on them.Here's how it sounds in real life: students read or hear a prompt, and—wait for it—just think. No pressure. Then, every kid writes down a response, even if it's just a scribbled sentence or a couple of words. Now when they turn to discuss, nobody's scraping for something to say. It doesn't matter if they're extroverted or barely audible—the writing step puts everyone on a level field. That's how you move past, “Some kids just can't discuss,” and shift toward, “I've actually taught them how to have a conversation in this classroom.”It's not just the prompt structure either. Host Khristen Massic shares that the prompts themselves are everything. Forget, “What did you do this summer?” That kind of prompt shuts conversation down before it starts. Swapping in prompts like, “A class feels easier for me when…” or “One thing I want this class to feel like is…” pulls kids into thinking and sharing about things that matter—building connections inside the secondary classroom, not just filling airtime.A small tweak packs an extra punch: after pairing up and sharing, have kids jot down one thing they learned from their partner. It's subtle, but now kids actually listen all the way through—not sitting there waiting to talk, but seeking to really understand. That's real secondary teacher magic, quietly training students to listen with their eyes up and brains on.This discussion routine isn't a first-week stunt—it's a reusable system made for the real, messy arc of the school year. Why reinvent every week? Keep your classroom routines sturdy, just rotate your prompts. Use it for “getting to know each other,” reflecting on learning, or anchoring right to content when the time comes. Once kids know the steps, all their energy goes into the discussion instead of figuring out what the heck they're supposed to be doing.For any middle or high school teacher—especially if you juggle multiple preps—this approach can save your energy and theirs. Tired of hunting down dazzling new activities just to fill time? Swap in a reliable routine, change up your prompts, and focus on what works. The discussion explored why “think-write-pair-share” isn't just a fix for quiet kids or English language learners; it's the backbone for secondary classroom conversations that stick.If your students seem “bad at discussion,” this episode argues that maybe they never saw a real conversation routine modeled, let alone practiced. It's about changing who gets to participate and making classroom culture accessible, not exclusive. This isn't about teaching to the test or droning through a syllabus—this is about building work life balance for teachers by installing systems you can lean on all year, freeing you up for the real work of teaching.So, are your students struggling with conversation, or did they simply never have the structure? One small step—like adding that “write”—can change the way an entire room communicates.Teaching in the secondary world shouldn't mean doing all the talking. Set up the right classroom routines once, keep your prompts fresh, and watch your students finally do the heavy lifting.Light up your classroom with better conversations—ditch the dead air and teach like you mean it.
Relebogile Mabotja speaks to Mpho Masondo a Traditional Healer and Indigenous Knowledge Systems Specialist about destiny swapping, across many cultures and faith traditions, people believe that our lives follow a unique path or purpose. But alongside those beliefs are claims of spiritual attacks, curses, and even something known as "destiny swapping" the idea that someone's blessings, opportunities, or life purpose can be spiritually transferred to another person. 702 Afternoons with Relebogile Mabotja is broadcast live on Johannesburg based talk radio station 702 every weekday afternoon.

Michael #1: django-orjson Adam Johnson dropped django-orjson - drop-in replacements for the Django and DRF pieces that touch JSON, swapping stdlib json for orjson, the Rust-based library. Headline numbers: 10x faster serialization, 2x faster deserialization. The interesting question is why this needs to be a package at all. pip install orjson is the easy part. Adam's actual pitch: adopting it "isn't easy, especially when your framework uses json in many different parts." Django scatters JSON across JsonResponse, the test client and test case classes, the json_script template tag, and more. There's no single hook to grab, so you get a library that catches them all. Adam is refreshingly honest about the scale of the win. His words: "While database queries tend to dominate the typical Django application's runtime, the time spent in serialization and deserialization can still be significant." He calls it "a nearly free performance win" - not "this will 10x your app." That's a claim about cost, not magnitude, and it's worth keeping those straight. Worth flagging what the post doesn't cover: caveats. There are none in the article, but orjson has real ones. Django and Flask both render datetimes as RFC 822 HTTP-date (Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT); orjson does ISO 8601. It can't do ensure_ascii, it rejects NaN and Infinity (which stdlib happily emits), and it raises on Decimal. If you've got a JS client parsing dates, that's a wire-format change. Who should actually take this? If you're a DRF shop shoveling JSON all day, yes - it's cheap and it's real. If your app mostly renders HTML templates, you're optimizing a slice of runtime that's already near zero. The problem Adam's package solves doesn't exist in Flask or Quart. They already centralize every JSON operation - jsonify, request.get_json(), the test client, the |tojson filter - behind one provider object at app.json. So there's no library to install. It's about ten lines: import orjson from quart.json.provider import JSONProvider # or flask.json.provider class OrjsonProvider(JSONProvider): def dumps(self, obj, **kwargs) -> str: return orjson.dumps(obj).decode() # provider must return str def loads(self, s, **kwargs): return orjson.loads(s) app.json = OrjsonProvider(app) The numbers on talkpython.fm Evaluated it, measured it, and skipped it. The biggest JSON payload we serve is our MCP server returning a cached episode transcript, about 139 KB. Swapping the provider saves 0.119 milliseconds per request. That total response takes 1.1 ms We got 4.1x, not 10x - and the reason is the good lesson. Payload shape decides your speedup. The 10x is for structure-heavy data, lots of small keys where stdlib burns time in Python-level dispatch per item. Our hot payload is one giant transcript string, so the work is escaping and memcpy Calvin #2: Best Django Redis configuration for speed and size Peter Bengtsson revisits a classic: his 2017 "Fastest Redis configuration for Django" benchmark now has a 2026 update posted this week. The 2017 post pitted django-redis serializers (json, ujson, msgpack, pickle) and compressors (zlib, lzma) against each other; conclusion was msgpack + zlib as the sweet spot - avoid the json serializer, it's fat and slow. The 2026 update narrows focus to just compressors: default (no compression), zlib, lzma, and newcomer zstd. New results: lzma compresses best but is slowest; zstd is the fastest compressor on Ubuntu; differences between them are very small. Big takeaway across both: compression buys you a lot of space (2–3.5x smaller) for very little speed cost - worth it for Redis where memory is the constraint. Caveat from the author: results depend heavily on your data - his test stores short strings of numbers, so benchmark your own workload. Michael #3: Linus Torvalds puts the foot down against Anti-AI Kernel Maintainers Write up on Ars. Really good coverage by Maximillian: Time to wake up (for some) Torvalds said that “Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it. Or just walk away.” I agree with Max, putting your head in the sand and waiting for AI to go away will likely mean you won't be working professionally in software development in the coming years. The statement came amid a lengthy thread arguing about the use of Sashiko, an “agentic Linux kernel code review system” that its creators claim can, in tests, independently find 53.6 percent of the bugs that would end up being fixed by human coders in later commits. “We're not forcing anybody to use [LLM tools], but I will very loudly ignore people who try to argue against other people from using it,” Torvalds said. “Anybody who points to the problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror and pointing at themselves at the same time,” Torvalds wrote. Calvin #4: Django Steering Council backs the Triptych Project Django Steering Council issued a Letter of Collaboration backing Carson Gross & Alex Petros's funding bid for the Triptych Project - three proposals to make HTML more expressive natively, in every browser. The three additions: PUT/PATCH/DELETE methods for forms, button actions (buttons that fire HTTP requests without a wrapping form), and partial page replacement. Distills the core ideas from HTMX/Unpoly/Turbo into the HTML standard itself - no JS, no library, nothing to ship or maintain. Current focus is button actions (WHATWG #12330): Logout instead of wrapping a button in a form. Relevant to Django directly - think the admin submit row and disguised delete links; Django 6.0's template partials were already inspired by these patterns. How to help: companies can send non-binding letters of support on letterhead; individuals can read the proposals and weigh in on the WHATWG issues.

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we welcome back Ray Wang, Chairman and CEO of Constellation Research, and widely regarded as one of the most insightful technology analysts in the world. In a recent conversation with Christopher Lochhead, Ray Wang shared his unfiltered perspective on the biggest developments shaping the technology landscape today. From the historic SpaceX IPO to the transformative acquisition of Cursor, Ray Wang offered sharp analysis that cuts through the noise and gets to what actually matters for businesses and investors navigating an AI-driven world. The conversation covered topics that most analysts are still catching up on, including why knowledge workers need to rethink their value, what Data Inc companies actually are, and why the context layer above large language models may be the most important competitive battleground of the next decade. What makes Ray Wang’s perspective so valuable is not just his breadth of knowledge but his ability to synthesize experience into wisdom, which is precisely the distinction he draws when talking about why AI cannot replace truly seasoned professionals. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Ray Wang on AI, Knowledge Work, and the Commoditization of Expertise Ray Wang makes a clear and compelling distinction between knowledge and wisdom. He argues that knowledge has become a commodity, but wisdom, the ability to take insights and turn them into meaningful action, remains deeply human and increasingly valuable. As AI automates deterministic, repetitive tasks, what rises in importance is judgment, the capacity to learn from failure and connect dots in ways that no model trained exclusively on successful outcomes can replicate. This reframing is critical for anyone worried about AI displacing their career. Ray Wang points out that AI systems today learn only from success, with no real failure database informing their outputs. That gap is where experienced professionals earn their keep. Businesses are increasingly paying for people who have lived through cycles of failure and recovery, not simply those who can recite information retrieved from a search index. The SpaceX IPO and What Ray Wang Says It Means for the Future of Markets Ray Wang describes the SpaceX IPO as a completely new playbook, one that flipped conventional wisdom about how public offerings should be structured. Rather than allocating the vast majority of shares to institutional investors through a traditional roadshow, SpaceX directed somewhere between 20 and 30 percent of the offering toward retail investors. Ray Wang sees this as Elon Musk rewarding the individual investors who stayed loyal through years of volatility, particularly the Tesla shareholders who held on despite relentless short-selling pressure. Beyond the allocation strategy, Ray Wang highlights how Musk essentially told the markets to take it or leave it at a fixed price, bypassing the typical price-discovery process. The Nasdaq inclusion guaranteed a floor without needing the traditional green shoe option to do the heavy lifting. Ray Wang believes this model could influence how future high-profile tech companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic, approach their own public offerings, fundamentally shifting leverage away from Wall Street banks and toward founders and retail participants. Ray Wang Explains Data Inc Companies and the Context Layer That Defines AI Competitive Advantage Ray Wang has been developing a framework he calls the Data Inc company, a concept centered on the idea that businesses that treat data as their primary asset, combined with strong distribution, will dominate the AI era. According to Ray Wang, unique data sets that no competitor can access or replicate are the foundation of next-generation competitive moats. Companies that fail to own their data and build derivative products from it will find themselves structurally disadvantaged as AI capabilities become more broadly available. Taking that framework one step further, Ray Wang agrees that the real battleground is not the large language model itself but the contextual layer that sits above it. This semantic and contextual wrapper, built from proprietary data and accumulated organizational knowledge, is what gives AI outputs meaning and reduces hallucinations. Swapping out one LLM for another becomes straightforward when this context layer is robust, much like swapping one database for another in a well-architected system. Ray Wang adds one more dimension that elevates the entire conversation: persistent memory. The ability for AI systems to retain learnings across interactions and pass that accumulated intelligence to downstream systems is, in his view, the true home run of enterprise AI. Decision velocity, powered by a rich contextual layer and persistent memory, is what separates companies that merely adopt AI from those that build genuine exponential advantage from it.

"Survival mode leadership is reactive. It's not intentional. Decisions are made through urgency, scarcity, and fear of failure instead of bringing together the mission, the values, and the people around you." High-risk pregnancy physician specialist, Air Force veteran, and author Dr. Luissa Kiprono joins host Josh Seldin to explore what it truly means to lead beyond survival mode. Dr. Kiprono draws on her incredible journey—from surviving communist Romania to overcoming personal trauma—to dissect the underlying neuroscience of how fear paralyzes modern workplace cultures. Josh and Dr. Kiprono break down why the primitive "monkey brain" defaults to fight-or-flight reactions during high-stakes corporate pressure, and how conscious leaders can train themselves to find the space between action and reaction. They discuss the deep systemic cost of suffocating, toxic workplace environments—such as the "glorified suffering" and malignant blame cultures historically found in medical residencies—and contrast them with thriving organizations built on vulnerable communication, mutual trust, and robust succession planning. From learning how to defuse your own internal projection traps to empowering the "schedulers" and frontline technicians in your organization, this episode offers a vital, trauma-informed blueprint for building a resilient, psychologically safe culture. Key Takeaways: ✅ The Primitive Brain Trap: Understanding the neuroscience of why your "monkey brain" defaults to reactionary, fear-based decisions under pressure rather than leveraging the prefrontal cortex. ✅ Pausing the Reflex: Practical, learned behaviors—like taking a tactical timeout or sleeping on a hot email—to create space between a high-stakes trigger and a civilized reply. ✅ The Palpable Room Temperature: Recognizing how hypervigilance, workplace gossip, and fear of punishment destroy team engagement and cause employees to wait for the other shoe to drop. ✅ Dethroning the Rite of Passage: Why thriving organizations must shift away from historical "malignant environments" that glorify past suffering as a prerequisite for current success. ✅ Eradicating the Word "Just": How top-tier leaders build deep trust and uncover the hidden risks below the surface by eliminating self-diminishing language from frontline staff. ✅ Thriving Through Adversity: Shifting the leadership paradigm to realize that a healthy culture isn't defined by the absence of challenges, but by the presence of collaborative resilience when things break down.

Swapping animal protein for plant protein may help women lose weight after menopause. Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to discuss a new study he co-authored that finds replacing animal protein with plant protein may be a powerful strategy for weight loss in postmenopausal women. The study found that total protein intake did not need to change. Instead, the source of protein appeared to matter most. As women reduced animal protein and increased plant protein from foods such as soybeans, beans, and grains, they experienced significant weight loss. Dr. Barnard explains why not all protein is created equal, how plant protein may affect metabolism differently than animal protein, and why this could be especially important for women after menopause.

We're back with another episode of I Had Trials Once and this time we're joined by former Gateshead, Barrow, Blackburn, Bolton, Morecambe and current Boreham Wood midfielder Tom White. Tom sits down with Gaz & Jord as he discusses his time in football from suffering heartbreak in the recent National League play-off final against Rochdale to loving life playing men's football. The lads start the pod talking about Tom's time at Boreham Wood, their brilliant season and how difficult it was to deal with the heartbreak of losing against Rochdale in the play-off final. They then talk in depth about Tom's upbringing in the North East playing grass roots football, his experience as a youth player at Carlisle and struggling to get trials at other clubs. The trio then chat about why Tom's ACL injury was the best thing that ever happened to him as it gave him the kick start his career needed at some important loan moves. Tom then speaks about how his time at Gateshead earnt him a move to former Premier League champions Blackburn Rovers before he soon realised the move was the wrong one to make. Tom continues with his love for Barrow during his first loan spell, why he struggled to make an impact at Bolton Wanderers and his experience of working with Dave Challinor at Hartlepool. Finally, he talks about returning to Barrow on a permanent, pre-season stag do's which included swapping shirts with a murderer and George Ray's naked darts against Pete Wild.

If they can tell you where growth comes from this year, they are a strategist.Timestamps:00:00 Why Growth Hacking Is Breaking Brands03:00 Meta Andromeda Changed Creative Strategy06:00 The Problem With Optimizing Only for ROAS12:00 Building Customer Journeys Beyond Attribution20:00 Measuring Channels by Their Actual JobSubscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupAdvertise on DTC - https://dtcnews.link/advertiseWork with Pilothouse - https://www.pilothouse.co/?utm_source=AKNF619Follow us on Instagram & Twitter - @dtcnewsletterWatch this interview on YouTube - https://dtcnews.link/video
What happens when a data-driven nutrition scientist sits down with one of the wellness world's biggest advocates for whole-food living and tackles some of the most controversial nutrition debates head-on? In this powerful and nuanced conversation, Darin Olien welcomes naturopathic doctor, researcher, educator, and science communicator Dr. Matthew Nagra for an evidence-based exploration of plant protein, muscle growth, fiber, seed oils, saturated fat, nutrition misinformation, social media influencers, and the future of nutritional science. Together they unpack why outcomes matter more than mechanisms, why plant proteins perform just as well as animal proteins for strength and muscle gain, the truth about seed oils and omega-6 fats, the overwhelming evidence supporting fiber consumption, and how people can learn to evaluate nutrition claims more critically in a world flooded with misinformation. This episode is a masterclass in scientific literacy, critical thinking, and practical nutrition.

In an age of viral misinformation, cherry-picked studies, and extreme dietary tribes, the ability to evaluate evidence, understand nuance, and focus on real-world outcomes becomes a superpower. The strongest dietary patterns consistently point in the same direction: more whole plant foods, more fiber, less dogma, and a commitment to following the evidence wherever it leads."

I had such a great conversation with Gina Cotner, founder and CEO of Athena Executive Services, and I have a feeling this one is going to hit home for a lot of you.If you have ever told yourself, it is just easier to do it myself, you are in good company. I have said that more times than I can count. But Gina made me see that the resistance we feel around delegation is not really about the task. It is about trust, and trust is built through relationship.Gina started Athena Executive Services 10 years ago after a somewhat unexpected path that led her from being an executive assistant herself to building a firm that now pairs high-caliber, US-based virtual executive assistants with busy entrepreneurs and executives across the country. She now runs the whole operation in about 10 hours a week, and she is living proof that when you delegate well and lead with genuine care for the people around you, you get your life back.What I loved most about this conversation was how Gina connected the dots between delegation and accountability. Most of us think of those as two separate challenges. Gina sees them as deeply linked, and the thread running through both is the quality of the relationship.Key TakeawaysBetter done than perfect. The 80 percent rule is your friend. If someone can get a task 80 percent done while you focus on something else, that is a win worth taking.When you delegate, make it theirs. Gina's approach is to hand over the outcome, not the steps. Tell someone where you want to end up and then ask, what do you need from me? That simple shift puts the thinking where it belongs.Relationship is what makes accountability possible. The richer your background of connection with someone, the easier it is to hold them to their commitments without it feeling like an attack. Gina puts it simply: you are addressing their actions, not them as a person.Ask what, not anything. The word what opens a conversation. The word anything shuts it down. Swapping one for the other changes the quality of every check-in you have with your team.Start somewhere, even small. You do not need a full executive assistant to begin delegating. Make a list of the rote tasks you do every week and find one thing to hand off. Even one hour of relief matters.You can find Gina at: athenaexecutiveservices.com or on LinkedIn at: www.linkedin.com/in/athenaeaIn appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.

Linoleic acid (LA), a ubiquitous omega-6 fat in Western diets, may directly influence aggressive cancer growth by activating specific cellular pathways, according to recent animal research High levels of LA, found predominantly in ultraprocessed foods, vegetable oils, and many packaged snacks, may contribute to cancer risk The research shows that triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells in animal models thrive on LA because it appears to trigger mTOR signaling, a pathway linked to rapid tumor growth To support cellular health, consider reducing your daily LA intake by less than 5 grams per day by limiting ultraprocessed foods, nuts, seeds, and conventionally raised meats Swapping high-LA foods for more stable, healthier fats and targeted carbohydrates may support energy production and may help lower the inflammatory load that research associates with cancer progression

Hey guys, it's Diane - welcome back to Boss Bitch Radio. This one's a little different because I'm getting real about something that's been quietly taking up way more space in my life than I realized… social media. After years (literally YEARS) of being on Instagram, TikTok, and everything in between, I decided to take a step back - and wow, I did not expect what came out of it! In this episode, I'm sharing why I took a 10-day break from social media, what pushed me to finally do it, and the surprising things I learned along the way. We're talking less anxiety, more presence, and some honest realizations about how much time we spend scrolling, numbing out, and disconnecting from real life. I also open up about a recent big life transition, how that played into my decision, and what I've been doing instead of reaching for my phone 24/7. This isn't about demonizing social media - it's about becoming aware of how you're using it and asking yourself if it's actually serving you. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or just stuck in the scroll loop, this episode might hit home. I'll also share some simple ideas you can try if you're curious about taking your own break - even for just a day! If you're ready to feel a little more present, grounded, and back in control of your time and energy, this one's for you.
