In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche delve into the challenges of burnout and overwork, discussing how developers can regain control over their time. By emphasizing the importance of finding balance in software development, they offer practical techniques for staying productive without compromising well-being. Rethinking Hustle Culture in Software Development “Productivity isn't about motion. It's about momentum—in the right direction.” – Rob Broadhead The myth of endless hustle runs deep in tech. Developers often mistake working late nights for progress—but it usually leads to burnout and declining code quality. The key to achieving balance in software development is recognizing when it's time to slow down. Warning Signs You're Losing Balance as a Developer Declining communication or code quality Constant frustration or tunnel vision Difficulty disconnecting from work Feeling like you're always behind The solution often lies not in working harder—but in pausing with purpose. Using Strategic Pauses to Regain Balance in Software Development One of the most effective ways of finding balance in software development is to embrace micro and macro pauses. These breaks help reset your mindset and restore focus. Micro breaks: Pomodoro sprints, quick walks, or code reviews Macro breaks: Weekend retreats, sabbaticals, or screen-free days Michael notes that even seasoned pros struggle with stepping away. But taking intentional time off isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. Developer Tip: Code Commit and Mental Reset When feeling overwhelmed, commit your progress, walk away, and revisit it later with a fresh mindset. This small act can realign your thinking and productivity. The Role of Pivoting in Achieving Work-Life Balance in Tech Sometimes a pause isn't enough—you need to pivot. And in the context of finding balance in software development, pivoting means realigning your goals, projects, or even your work relationships. Types of pivots discussed: Switching tools or tech stacks Killing ineffective features Saying no to toxic clients Shifting job roles or responsibilities When to Pivot for Developer Success Are you stuck solving the wrong problem? Are sunk costs keeping you on the wrong path? Is your current direction still aligned with your goals? If not, it may be time to pivot and prioritize balance. Tools and Tactics for Finding Balance in Software Careers To close the episode, Rob and Michael outline several tools for creating balance in your developer workflow: Timeboxing and Pomodoro sessions Weekly journaling to identify stress triggers Asynchronous communication to reduce meetings Workspace adjustments for deep work vs. ideation Optimize Your Work Environment for Software Development Balance Experiment with different workspaces for different tasks—coding, brainstorming, or planning. These physical cues help your brain switch gears and stay fresh. Final Thoughts: Building a Sustainable Career in Software Development Finding balance in software development is more than a productivity hack—it's a mindset shift. Whether you're pausing for five minutes or pivoting away from a demanding client, your ability to reset and refocus determines long-term success. When developers learn to pause with purpose and pivot with intention, they don't just write better code—they build better careers.

Story at-a-glance Independent testing of 51 popular toothpaste brands revealed 90% contained lead, 65% arsenic, 47% mercury, and 35% cadmium. Only six toothpastes tested clean Heavy metals enter toothpaste through contaminated raw materials like hydroxyapatite, calcium carbonate, and bentonite clay used in manufacturing Lead and cadmium disrupt cellular functions, causing kidney damage, osteoporosis, anemia, and various other health complications Despite evidence, toothpaste companies refuse to remove heavy metals. Some even use legal means to intimidate whistleblowers Switching to a homemade toothpaste made from coconut oil, baking soda, and essential oils offers safer protection compared to mass-produced alternatives

Tara unleashes a scathing exposé on the mounting evidence of COVID vaccine harm—from shocking peer-reviewed studies estimating up to 600,000 U.S. deaths to new research linking the shots to miscarriages, infertility, and deadly autoimmune diseases. She warns that mRNA injections will soon expand into flu shots and urges listeners to reject them outright. Switching gears, she highlights the growing rift between Donald Trump and Elon Musk over record-breaking deficit spending and the “big beautiful bill,” calling it a dangerous distraction that threatens America's information ecosystem. Tara argues that without Musk's ownership of Twitter and its uncensored reach, Trump's 2024 comeback—and the survival of free speech itself—could be doomed.

The 7 Profitable Parts of a Business with James Brown   If you think scaling a business means sacrificing your life, family, and freedom—this episode will shatter that belief. In this week's episode of The Profit Answer Man, we talk to James Brown, the founder of Perseverance Squared and the Business Accelerator Institute, who shares how he built an $8M law firm across four cities—without grinding 80-hour weeks. Instead, he built a business that bought back his time, gave him freedom, and funded his life purpose. Whether you're a solo operator, multi-location service provider, or scaling a firm—this episode gives you the roadmap to do it profitably and sustainably, all while putting Profit First.   In This Episode, You Will Learn: How James went from GM assembly lines to law school to running an $8M firm. The myth of the hustle and why "buying back your time" must be part of your strategy. The game-changing moment Profit First reshaped how he viewed business finance. How he systematized his firm so well, he could travel for weeks—and revenue didn't drop. The difference between a business owner and an operator (and how to become the former). What you can implement today to take your hands off the wheel without crashing your business.   Key Takeaways: Build to Exit Before You Need To. James sold his law firm at 49—not because he had to, but because he planned for it. “I never wanted to be 60 and still reviewing client files,” he said. Profit is a Habit, Not an Event. Switching to Profit First forced him to be intentional. He stopped hoping for leftovers and started allocating profit first—literally. If You're the Bottleneck, You're the Problem. The business didn't need him. That was the goal. "I designed my firm so I could leave at a moment's notice," James shared. The systems ran the business. Business Should Fund Your Life—Not Consume It. When his son got a last-minute hockey invite in Europe, he packed up and went for three weeks. No stress. That's the power of designing the right systems from day one. Coaching Is a Force Multiplier. James has now helped over 450 business owners scale smarter—not harder—through his coaching and accelerator programs.   Guest Bio: James Brown is the CEO and Founder of Business Accelerator Institute and Perseverance Squared. He launched his first business in 1994 and scaled it to $8M in revenue, eventually selling it to pursue his passion for coaching entrepreneurs. As a former fractional CEO and SLFU Program Manager, he launched Small Law Firm University and developed a marketing program generating $2M annually. James is the co-author of the best-selling book Shift Happens and holds a JD from St. Louis University and a business degree from Lindenwood University.   Conclusion: Are You Running a Business or Just Working a Job? James' story proves what we teach: a business should be built to give you time, money, and freedom—not steal them from you. If you're stuck in the weeds, constantly solving problems, and unsure where your profit is going—it's time for a change. You don't have to build alone. We're here to help you implement Profit First, take control of your cash flow, and scale strategically.   Links: Website: BusinessAccelerator.Institute  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/businessacceleratorinstitute  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/business.accelerator.institute/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/businessacceleratorinstitute Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@business.accelera YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@Business.Accelerator.Institute  Podcast episode landing page: BusinessAccelerator.Institute/profitanswerman Course: https://courses.businessaccelerator.institute/?am_id=ProfitAnswerMan    Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

In this explosive broadcast, Tara reveals why the so-called “Twelve-Day War” with Iran is far from finished. She breaks down how Iran's uranium enrichment program, run largely by Chinese scientists, survived U.S. bunker-buster strikes because critical stockpiles remain buried under Isfahan—a site too deep to destroy. Tara argues Iran is effectively a Chinese proxy, and warns that regime change or further strikes may be inevitable, as Israel openly threatens to eliminate the Ayatollah. Switching gears, Tara celebrates the Supreme Court's landmark decision curbing the power of liberal judges to impose nationwide injunctions—something she calls “judicial dictatorship.” The ruling means district judges can no longer single-handedly block Trump's entire agenda. With analysis from Andy McCarthy, Pam Bondi, and Ted Cruz, she explains how this restores constitutional balance and frees the administration to act without being hamstrung by partisan courts. The segment closes with a warning: If Democrats return to power, they will revive funding and legal protections for Iran's nuclear ambitions—and America could face an emboldened, nuclear-armed adversary backed by China.

This week on BEHIND THE LENS, we're taking a look at a new indie film that just released in select theatres and on Eventive VOD on Friday, SWEET RELIEF, with writer/director/editor NICK VERDI. And we'll take one more look at Dances With Films 2025 with the oh-so-funny mockumentary AMERICAN COMIC with director/cinematographer/editor DANIEL J. CLARK and writer/actor JOE KWACZALA. AMERICAN COMIC helped close out the festival last night. First up, let's turn our lens to SWEET RELIEF. Written and directed, and edited, by NICK VERDI, SWEET RELIEF is a film that starts as a slow burn, gaining momentum as seemingly unrelated characters and storylines begin to interweave until the shocking, explosive climax in this arthouse thriller. Parents and teachers in a small New England town are in a panic over kids playing SWEET RELIEF, an online murder challenge in which the player must nominate someone they'd like to see die. Three teenagers play the game as a joke, unaware of the dire consequences awaiting them. Meanwhile, Jess and Nathan are a bored, millennial couple struggling to get by. Nathan is annoyed with his mother, and Jess is annoyed with Nathan. Jess's curiosity and boredom lead to a dangerous situation of her own when she meets Gerald, a confidential police informant and perhaps a sadistic child killer. Switching gears now, let's bid farewell to Dances With Films 2025 with one of its closing night films – the hilarious mockumentary AMERICAN COMIC and my exclusive conversation with director/DP/editor DANIEL J. CLARK and writer and actor JOE KWACZALA, who I had a chance to speak with on Saturday before the world premiere of AMERICAN COMIC debuted last night. AMERICAN COMIC is a verité-style mockumentary that follows two up-and-coming stand-up comedians, who, despite their superficial "cultural" differences, share remarkable similarities when it comes to egotism, self-destruction, and social ineptitude. As the film satirically pulls back the curtain on the unique subculture of stand-up comedy, self-absorbed competitiveness intensifies, leading to some shocking and unexpected revelations. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

In this captivating episode of Reading with Your Kids, we explore two remarkable books that go far beyond traditional storytelling. First, we meet Mason Stokes, author of "All the Truth I Can Stand," a powerful young adult novel that reimagines the story of Matthew Shepard. Stokes courageously delves into the complexity of human experiences, challenging readers to see beyond simple narratives and embrace nuanced understanding. The book follows Ash, a young gay teen navigating grief and loss, whose world is transformed by a relationship that ends tragically. Stokes brilliantly weaves historical context with personal storytelling, inviting readers—especially young adults—to engage with difficult conversations about identity, community, and truth. Switching gears, we welcome Jason Chin, illustrator and author of "Hurricane," a fascinating picture book that turns scientific exploration into an engaging narrative. Chin's passion for meteorology shines through as he explains the intricate global effort behind hurricane forecasting. From hurricane hunters braving extreme conditions to community resilience, the book offers children a comprehensive look at these powerful natural phenomena. Both authors share a common goal: empowering young readers to think critically, feel deeply, and understand the world's complexity. Chin emphasizes how understanding science can reduce fear, while Stokes encourages exploring human stories with empathy and nuance. These books are more than just stories—they're bridges to meaningful conversations. Whether discussing community support during natural disasters or exploring challenging social issues, they provide parents and children with valuable tools for connection and understanding. Perfect for families seeking books that educate, inspire, and spark important dialogues, these titles prove that children's literature can be a powerful vehicle for learning, empathy, and personal growth.

You're not imagining it—your projects might actually be running you. If you've ever felt like your design clients are unclear, unsure, or unexpectedly intense mid-project, it's likely not a personality issue. It's a systems issue. In this episode, designer Shila Griffith of SG23 Design reveals the exact processes and boundaries that keep her projects running smooth, her team aligned, and her clients confident from start to finish. From her strategic intake forms to her “you paid for that three months ago” moment of bliss, Shila walks through the real-world fixes newer designers need to confidently lead their projects. This isn't about being cold or corporate—it's about clarity, structure, and trust. You'll learn: ✅ Why upfront pricing (yes, even 50%) calms client anxiety ✅ How to spot red flags in new client inquiries ✅ The conversation that prevents renovation freakouts before they happen ✅ What to say when clients want to buy their own stuff, and why boundaries boost your quality of life If you're an interior designer looking to finally feel in control of your client process (instead of constantly catching up), this is the episode that's going to help you get there.

Former MLB pitcher and Butler boys' basketball coach Matt Clement joined the show. As someone who knows plenty about WPIAL hoops, Matt talked about TJ McConnell and the presence he had in the NBA Finals. Matt brought up a player that he had going to Duquesne around the same time TJ was on his way to Arizona. Matt said TJ has become a cult hero everywhere he goes because he's not supposed to be THIS good. Switching to baseball, Matt said there are very few players in MLB he would take over Paul Skenes. He compared Skenes to Mark Prior, who he played with in Chicago, but described him as a ‘step up' from Prior. Matt said what Skenes is doing is unlike anything we've seen before because the game has not gotten faster for him like it should have. How does Matt think the Pirates can get things jumpstarted more for Oneil Cruz and is it frustrating that we are still seeing mental errors from him? Matt said they need to be patient with Cruz even if it wears off a bit with each mistake.

Oneil Cruz was taken out of the game late last night due to lack of hustle. We applauded the move by Don Kelly, saying it's something we would not have seen from Derek Shelton. It's a good sign to show accountability. We talked about how it would have been pretty easy to sit Cruz again today due to his plate approach for the last month or so. Chris is annoyed that we are still doing this with Cruz this far into his career. Former MLB pitcher and Butler boys' basketball coach Matt Clement joined the show.

TK said snakes are his biggest fear and he used to have nightmares about them. Tyler said Brent Burns used to bring snakes on a plane (like the movie title) when he would travel. TK made a funny comparison to The Liver King, who went off the deep end a bit. The Penguins hold the 11th and 12th picks in the NHL Draft this weekend – what should their plan be? Tyler wants to see the team sit back and make those picks then worry about that high pick next year. He said unless there is someone high up on their radar, there's no reason to jump up. TK got into what the Penguins are missing right now and what they could look for in free agency. TK went back to the sandpaper well and said the Pens need to add some. TK reacted to the Panthers winning another Stanley Cup. Will Erik Karlsson be back next season? Tyler labeled Evander Kane as a ‘cancer' as he was part of a deal earlier today.

Ep. 73 – Switching Mics: Kent PD Police Commander Eric Tung of Blue Grit Wellness Interviews Me on My 15-Year Mission to Support Law Enforcement and the Story Behind This Podcast. This episode is a crossover with my friend and fellow podcaster Eric Tung of Blue Grit Wellness and Blue Grit Radio. I am honored to have been a guest on his show and to be able to share it here. Here is how Eric described this episode on “Blue Grit Radio:”“If only people understood what we did.. why we do this job.. what it takes.. what it tests.. If only they knew we were people, doing our best..I connected with Abby in July 2023 and was humbled to be featured in an interview with her, (Ep. 47 of On Being a Police Officer). In it, she called out my "relentless optimism." It was one of the coolest compliments I've heard and part of me wanted to deny it since optimism is often a struggle and by no means easy. (However, I can't prove her wrong, since I'm still doing this thing called Blue Grit - and that's the whole point of it!). I've gotten to know Abby from and before that interview, and to see/hear/learn more about her. It's not just WHY she does the work, but HOW she does it, which makes me truly inspired. This is what prompted me to ask if she would be willing to flip the mics as it were and be the guest on my show. She has a servant's heart, desire to help, and humility and care in spades. I am honored to be able to share and highlight HER story, as she shares and highlights so many of ours.”Thank you, Eric! Also, I also am thrilled to share that Police1, the national law enforcement news outlet, recently published a Q&A with me about my podcast and why I do it. I'm truly grateful for the opportunity because it helps me reach more officers with my message of support. As Nancy Perry of Police1 wrote: “With no ads or subscription fees, Ellsworth's only goal is support: for officers and for the truth.” Police1 Q&A with me:https://www.police1.com/patrol-issues/policing-podcast-profiles-on-being-a-police-officer-podcast-shares-the-raw-truth-behind-the-badgeYou can find Eric on his website:https://www.bluegritwellness.com/On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bluegritradio/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bluegritwellness Tik Tok @bluegritwellness.On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-tung-a83459203/His podcast Blue Grit Radio is available on all podcast platforms.Thanks for listening to On Being a Police Officer.

This week I am re-playing my interview with advocate, Substacker, and "summoner of women's audacity," Shannon Watts in honor of the fact that her new book “Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age” released just last week. Shannon first entered that national conversation when she founded Moms Demand Action, the grassroots movement for common sense gun reform that began with a Facebook post the day of the Sandy Hook school shooting and has grown to include more than 10 million members. Shannon writes regularly for her Substack, Playing with Fire, and outlets like The Washington Post, Elle, Time, and more. She has also been named Glamour's Woman of the Year and one of Time's 100 Most Influential People.Since leaving Moms Demand Action, Shannon has been on a quest to motivate more women to use their voices to advocate for change, whether that's within their own families, workplaces, communities, states, the country, or the world. It was an honor to talk with her and we really broke it down, covering: - Knowing when it's time to transition out of what you've been doing- ADHD and how its effects have changed as she's gotten older- Switching gears from being a very public person who had to keep her private life private (to not feed the trolls) to a private person who talks about private things (menopause, ADHD) publicly- The incredible origin story of Moms Demand Action (or what I call, "the Facebook post heard 'round the world)- Her standing desk fail Thank you for listening!

In today's episode of 'The Valley Today,' host Janet Michael sat down with the team at Blue Ridge Habitat for Humanity to discuss their impactful work in the community. The episode featured an in-depth conversation with Executive Director Kim Herbstritt, Aging in Place Coordinator Brittany Day, ReStore Manager Matt Sharp, and Assistant Manager Izzy France. Kim detailed Blue Ridge Habitat's mission and accomplishments, shedding light on the comprehensive home ownership and repair programs. She emphasized the organization's focus on providing affordable, decent housing and the importance of community support through donations and purchases from the ReStore. In the discussion about home ownership, Kim debunked the common misconception that Habitat gives homes away for free. She explained the rigorous process involving an application, mortgage payments, and a sweat equity requirement of at least 250 hours, which includes crucial tasks such as housing counseling and basic home repairs training. She also mentioned the organization's role in fostering generational wealth and community health through stable housing. Switching gears, Janet talks with Brittany Day about the Age Well Council and the Aging in Place and/or Critical Repairs program. Brittany shared heartwarming stories of seniors reclaiming their independence through simple but vital modifications like ramps and grab bars. She highlighted the collaborative efforts with other organizations to address food insecurity, transportation, and social isolation among seniors. The conversation then turned to the ReStore, where Matt Sharp and Izzy France gave an overview of the diverse range of items available for purchase, from furniture and appliances to construction supplies and tools. They encouraged the community to support by donating items in good condition and explained the easy, streamlined process for both donations and pickups. The episode wrapped up with a reminder from Janet and her guests to visit Blue Ridge Habitat's website: https://www.blueridgehabitat.org/ and follow them on social media for updates and opportunities to get involved. This conversation underscored the transformative power of community support and the pivotal role Blue Ridge Habitat plays in enhancing the lives of local families, seniors, and veterans.

In this episode, we tackle one of the most significant financial decisions tech professionals face: knowing when and how to walk away from a job—whether that's to retire or move to another opportunity—especially when equity compensation is in the mix. We emphasize the mental and financial distinction between retiring permanently and transitioning to a new firm. Retirement means permanently stepping away from income and needing a long-term strategy to generate cashflow from your assets. Switching firms, on the other hand, is temporary unemployment with the potential for new income and equity.We walk through how to determine readiness for either scenario. For retirement, it's essential to assess total wealth, stress test sustainable spending, and build a reliable paycheck from assets. For switching jobs, we need ample cash reserves and liquidity, as job searches are unpredictable in length. Equity compensation plays a central role—particularly what we leave behind. We highlight the importance of reviewing company plan documents to understand if retirement will trigger accelerated vesting or forfeiture of RSUs.When it comes to timing, especially for those with stock options or RSUs, planning ahead is critical. If possible, we want to spread taxable events over multiple years to manage the tax burden more efficiently. We also discuss evaluating whether to hold or sell company stock after departure. The decision hinges on one's financial goals, income flexibility, and risk tolerance. Behavioral aspects come into play too—avoiding regret by making informed, goal-aligned choices and not falling into the “shoulda, coulda, woulda” trap.Taxes are unavoidable, but they can be managed with proper planning, especially when dealing with capital gains, ordinary income, and potential AMT from equity compensation. We stress the importance of integrating equity compensation into a long-term financial plan, using it to meet both short-term liquidity needs and long-term diversification goals.Company-specific events like IPOs, mergers, layoffs, or vesting schedules can all influence the decision to leave. Evaluating those triggers through the lens of your goals helps in deciding whether to act now or wait. Lastly, we return to the value of working with a financial planner and the need for intentionality. Walking away—whether to retire or transition—is rarely simple, and it's okay to find the decision hard.

Picture this: it's late at night, the kids are asleep, and you find yourself reaching for those irresistible cookies while pondering why you never wear headphones. This episode kicks off with such mischievous moments before we dive headlong into the fascinating history of the US dollar's detachment from the gold standard in 1971, and why cash might feel a little less jingly in your pocket these days. We then tackle the sports world, light-heartedly debating whether Tom Brady's mega-net-worth warrants his frequent appearances in advertisements, and how we find ourselves throwing around terms like hat tricks, turkeys, and three-peats in everyday conversation. Switching lanes, our discussion turns to the roaring engines of luxury cars and the rugged allure of trucks like the Ford F-250. We revel in the practical versus the posh, exploring how our choices on the road reflect our lifestyles and aspirations. Music lovers will find resonance as we navigate the evolving soundscape, from Morgan Wallen's country charm to the groundbreaking rhythms of Kendrick Lamar and Tyler the Creator. Alongside, we muse over the changing musical landscape and our personal taste shifts, raising questions about whether it's the artists or we who have evolved. As the conversation broadens, we reflect on the intricacies of immigration policies, sharing personal anecdotes and insights into the challenges faced by those in pursuit of the American Dream. From the rocky terrain of geopolitical conflicts to the serene greens of a golf course, we traverse a multitude of engaging topics. And just when you think we've covered it all, we discuss home renovations, the prospect of building a golf simulator, and the legalities of home defense. Join us on this eclectic journey, where humor, history, and heartfelt stories blend seamlessly to create a podcast episode that's as diverse as it is dynamic.
