Episode 5413: Taking Action Against Sharia State In Texas

Ryan and I talked about what actually separates people who build successful businesses from those who stay stuck thinking about it. We got into the mindset that drives real entrepreneurs, why urgency and action matter more than perfect planning, and how most people misunderstand networking. I shared the lesson a mentor taught me early in my career about sales being at the center of everything in business and in life. We also discussed how real opportunities come from doing the work first, building real skills, and creating value that makes people want to work with you. The conversation also touches on leadership, hiring great people in the wild, and why surrounding yourself with people who are winning is one of the fastest ways to grow.

You know what you should do. You're just not doing it. The gym bag is by the door. The draft is open on your screen. The email's been sitting there for three days. And somewhere underneath all of it is the same quiet assumption running the show: that you have to feel like it first. That motivation comes before action.  What if that's backwards? That's the premise behind Morita therapy, and it's the reason this conversation with Gregg Krech might rearrange how you think about getting things done. Gregg is the Executive Director of the ToDo Institute, a Naikan education and retreat center in Vermont.. He is also the author of several books, including: "Naikan: Gratitude, Grace, and the Japanese Art of Self-Reflection," "A Natural Approach to Mental Wellness," "The Art of Taking Action," and "Question Your Life."   For nearly thirty years Gregg has been teaching an approach called Morita therapy developed a century ago by a Japanese psychiatrist to treat severe anxiety, and it offers a genuinely different way of dealing with the feelings that stop us. Here's the core of it. When we have a difficult feeling, like anxiety, depression, anger, or the urge to quit, we think we have two options: express it or suppress it. Morita therapy offers a third. Acceptance.  You coexist with the feeling, and you take action anyway.  In this conversation we get into how you actually build that skill, not as a concept, but as something you train like free throws or piano. We cover why motivation is optional, what the maxim "lead with the body" means, why the smartest people often get the most stuck, and how to use your attention to relieve suffering in real time. We talk about recovering from real setbacks like job loss and divorce, and end on a surprisingly freeing idea about indecision: why what you do after you decide matters far more than the decision itself. Some highlights from the episode: 02:36 Origins of Morita Therapy 06:39 The third options  10:48 Thoughts vs actions  13:31 Purpose and feelings 17:24 Practice restraint and action 21:37 Directors vs actors  24:20 Willpower  27:27 Motivation and optionality 29:09 Lead with your body 30:38 Setbacks 33:29 Attention 35:37 Meditation  41:00 Breath practice 45:31 Resistance 48:24 Exercises over maxims 55:22 Indecision and commitment Enjoy!

Lately my wonders and ponders have been really impactful as I'm learning things about myself I either overlooked or didn't realize. Owning my greatness has been a journey, for sure, and I am continuing to pull out bags, look at the contents, and decide to throw some of that baggage out (both literally and figuratively). I've been pondering topics like love at work, fierce conversations (like those Susan Scott tells us about in her book of the same name), attachment vs. commitment, and so much more. In this episode I share some ideas and ponderings that might look like coincidences, but are really the universe working on my behalf. I mention Marcus Buckingham's new book "Design Love In," Byron Katie's "Loving What Is," and Steve Farber's "Love is Just Damn Good Business," as well as this video which inspired the Assume - Receive - Repeat process. https://youtu.be/9CXIYKDIR3c?si=38OaxjFGttBkD7gi Here is the link for the Enlightened Leadership Lab: www.emergentculturelabs.com/leadershiplab

What if the biggest wake-up call of your life became the reason you completely reinvented your future? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Janet McConnell, a Senior National Champion Bodybuilder who began competing in her late 40s, Janet brings decades of experience in strength training and lifestyle habits that support cognitive health, resilience, and vitality. As the author of Elements of Aging Well, she blends science-backed insight with real-world strategies to help women age with confidence, strength, and purpose.  Janet shares how a shocking health diagnosis at age 46 forced her to confront the reality of burnout, unhealthy habits, and the long-term impact of putting herself last. Instead of accepting prescriptions as her future, she made a bold decision to change her life through one consistent habit: resistance training. If you've ever wondered whether you've waited too long to prioritize yourself, this episode will challenge everything you believe about aging and personal transformation.   What You Will Learn: How one consistent habit can create massive health transformation over time. Why resistance training is one of the most powerful tools for healthy aging and cognitive health. How high-achieving women often disconnect from their health while building successful careers. Why mindset shifts must happen before lasting behavior change can occur. How Janet reversed alarming health markers without extreme dieting. What happens physically and mentally when strength training becomes part of a long-term lifestyle. Why aging does not automatically mean decline or loss of vitality. How identity and purpose evolve when transitioning out of corporate life. Why women over 45 should rethink the way they approach fitness and longevity. How healthy habits become votes for the person you want to become.

In this episode of The Fitness League Podcast, we dive into the psychology behind consistency, effort, and long-term behavior change in health and fitness. We explore why so many people lose momentum, how broken feedback loops sabotage progress, and why celebrating small wins may be one of the most powerful tools for sustainable change. This conversation breaks down the science of motivation in practical, real-world terms—from behavioral activation and competence building to the importance of autonomy, relatedness, and visible progress signals. We also discuss the psychology behind "open loops" and how the Zeigarnik effect can either keep you engaged… or mentally drained.

There's a point where your to-do list stops being helpful and starts becoming a quiet source of stress. Many dental hygiene students fall into the pattern of writing detailed to-do lists that feel productive, but don't consistently lead to action. Dana is sharing practical ways to approach task management more intentionally, including using short, defined time blocks, prioritizing what truly needs your attention, and assigning tasks to specific times instead of letting them sit unresolved. The goal isn't to do more—it's to follow through on what you've already identified as important.

Our Head of Europe and Asia Technology Research Shawn Kim discusses AI's move from passive chatbots to active agents—and how this influences tech supply chains.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Shawn Kim, Head of Morgan Stanley's Europe and Asia Technology Team. Today: A foundational shift in the development of AI and its broad market implications. It's Tuesday, May 5th, at 3pm in London. Think about the last time you asked a chatbot to write a summary or a draft. Or maybe answer a query. It was probably useful. But you were also still driving the interaction: asking, refining, copying, checking, and moving the work forward. Now imagine a system that does not just respond, but acts. It remembers what you asked last week, understands your preferences, works across digital tools, plans a workflow, and adapts as circumstances change. That is the shift from GenAI to agentic AI: from AI that helps with thinking to AI that helps with doing. GenAI is mostly passive. It takes a prompt and produces an answer. Agentic AI is active – less a copilot for one task but an autopilot for multi-step workflows. The distinction is key because computing requirements are changing. In GenAI, large language models and GPUs handle much of the thinking. GPUs, or graphics processing units, process many calculations in parallel, making them central to modern AI models. In agentic AI, CPU becomes more important. CPUs, or central processing units, coordinate tasks and connect systems to the broader digital infrastructure. Agentic AI also depends on three stacks: the brain, or the large language model; orchestration, where the CPU manages the doing; and knowledge, which is memory.Memory may be the most important layer. An agent that knows your preferences, documents, tone, and task history becomes more useful over time. That creates a context flywheel. The more context it collects, the more personalized it becomes, and the harder it is to leave. Typically, in computing, we think of memory as storage, mainly. We need to rethink this. Memory is also continuity. When an AI system can use past experiences, memory becomes a long-term state, shared knowledge, and behavioral grounding. And that matters because LLMs have fixed context windows. Once a conversation exceeds that window, older content falls off. For simple questions, that may be fine. But for a coding agent working across a large codebase over days or weeks, it is a major limitation. Serious work requires persistent memory, short-term orientation, and active retrieval – remembering prior decisions, understanding changed files, and finding relevant codes without the user pointing to every dependency. For investors, the implication is clear – agentic AI changes the bottlenecks. We see CPUs as the new bottleneck, with memory seeing the highest content increase. We estimate as much as 60 percent, or $60 billion of incremental CPU total addressable market by 2030, within a total CPU market of more than $100 billion. We also estimate up to 70 percent of incremental DRAM bit shipment tied to this theme. That makes us more positive on supply chains including memory, foundry, substrates, CPU and memory interface, and capacitors and CPU sockets. These areas benefit from content growth, pricing power, and capacity constraints into 2027. As AI moves from answering questions to taking actions, investors should watch the infrastructure behind the shift. Because in the agentic era, the next big AI leap may be less about the prompt, but more about the processor. Thanks for listening.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years. In this episode she's speaking with Eric Ries about his new book, Incorruptible, Why Good Companies Go Bad... and How Great Companies Stay Great.   All too often, founders start a company and hire an incredible team dedicated to building a company that will solve an important problem and leave the world better off.  Then they get a taste of success and life is good.  But all too often, the bankers and lawyers swoop in and the demands to “maximize shareholder value” set in.  More often than not, the company succumbs to the gravitational pull of mediocrity–or worse.  Compromises are made, rationalizations abound, and after a while people start to wonder “how did this happen?!”   Eric has thought deeply about how to structure companies so that they can remain true to their purpose and achieve great financial results.  In his interview with Kim, he shares his extensive research on companies, both contemporary and some many decades old, who have been able to make this work.   Background on Eric Ries: Over the last two decades, Eric Ries's ideas about continuous innovation, long-term thinking, governance, and market reform have reshaped company building and management practices. He is the creator of the Lean Startup method and the author of the New York Times bestseller The Lean Startup, The Leader's Guide, and The Startup Way. As a founder, Eric has put his own ideas into practice with the Long-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE); Answer.AI, an AI R&D lab; Virgil, a legal services startup; and IMVU. On The Eric Ries Show, he talks with world-class technologists, thought leaders, and executives building for the long-term. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife and three children.  His new book, Incorruptible, will be released in May of 2026.   CHAPTERS (00:00) Introduction to Eric Ries and His Work (01:31) The Motivation Behind 'Incorruptible' (04:28) The Dark Side of Business Practices (05:08) The Haunting Story of Vectura and Philip Morris (12:58) The Consequences of Corporate Governance (15:20) The Historical Context of Corporate Purpose (18:37) The Evolution of Corporate Purpose (22:07) The Impact of Purpose-Driven Companies (25:33) Understanding Financial Gravity (30:55) The Unconscious Forces in Corporations (34:43) Resisting the Pull of Mediocrity (39:14) Navigating Power Dynamics in Organizations (40:04) The Naivety of Value Creation (41:05) The Dilemma of Founder Control (42:34) Building Institutional Protections (43:36) Costco's Governance Fortress (45:57) The Cost of Governance Ratings (47:58) The Challenge of Public Companies (51:08) Taking Action for Ethical Leadership Connect with the Radical Candor team: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. X graduated two years ago and joined his father's practice with the understanding that one day it would be his. But right now, he's paid a daily rate, produces a fraction of the revenue, and has no formal path to ownership. His dad, a 35-year veteran producing $1.5M a year, loves dentistry and isn't slowing down. Meanwhile, Dr. X is sitting in half-empty chairs, struggling to grow, and watching his vision for the future clash with his father's comfort zone. In this raw MyStory episode, Craig, Peter, and Ian unpack everything Dr. X is up against: a team that doesn't see him as the leader, a business that's built around one producer, and a mindset that's quietly holding him back. Craig shares his own painful experience navigating the same dynamic with his father and the fights that nearly destroyed their relationship. The conversation goes deep on knowing your numbers, building a vision bigger than yourself, and why the hardest conversation you'll ever have might be the one that changes everything. CASE STUDY: Second-generation dentist, two years out of school, working in his father's practice with no equity and no succession plan. $2.1M practice, dad produces $1.5M, Dr. X produces $400K, hygiene makes up the rest Paid a daily rate with no production-based compensation 7 to 8 operatories currently, 2 underutilized, only in-network with Delta 4 to 10 new patients per month, net growth is negative Dad is 68, estimates 6 years left, not looking to invest capital Dr. X wants 14 ops, associates, and $500K net without producing Team doesn't know the vision, dad doesn't share it, no alignment $500K at 20% profit margin = $2.5M collections, doable with current chairs at ~$310K per chair Biggest barrier isn't capacity, it's one honest conversation with dad about vision, price, and timeline DESCRIPTION The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode: 434 HOSTS:Dr. Peter Boulden,  Dr. Craig Spodak and Ian de Jongh GUEST: Dr. X MyStory is a new Bulletproof series where real dentists share their real story: what's working, what's not, and the questions they can't get answered anywhere else. Each episode is a one-hour Master Class. Peter & Craig give practical advice, just like they do inside our Mastermind Program and at the Bulletproof Summit. The point is simple: you'll hear your own challenges in someone else's story, and leave with clear steps you can use right away to shift your mindset, strengthen your practice, and avoid the mistakes that make growth harder than it needs to be.

What happens when coaching stops being polite, and starts being honest? In this episode, we dive into the moment a bold, unfiltered piece of advice went viral, and more importantly, helped a client snap out of self-sabotage and land a major contract. This conversation pulls back the curtain on what real coaching looks like when the goal isn't comfort… it's results. You'll hear why focusing on the 10% going wrong is quietly killing your momentum, and how shifting your perspective to what's actually working can change everything, fast. We also break down the true role of a coach: not just to support you, but to challenge you. To give you the perspective you can't access when you're stuck in your own emotions—and to call you forward when you're playing small. This episode goes deep into the connection between mindset, manifestation, and action. Not the fluffy version—but the kind that requires radical self-belief, discipline, and a willingness to rewire how you think about success. And if you've ever struggled to charge what you're worth or ask for more—this is your wake-up call.

Hartwell welcomes Dr. Trisha Vinatieri, a clinical psychologist and organizational development psychologist who has spent nearly two decades treating PTSD and holding various leadership roles within healthcare systems.

Happy Potluck Saturday, Heal Squad! Kev hears Hard Knock Life and starts riffing on this idea of a full-on “Victim Con”… people getting up on stage to perform whatever made them a victim. It's funny until it's not. They go right back to something Kev's always believed… make your bed, clean your space, take care of your own stuff. Anyone can do it. He used to say it to kids, still says it now. You can hear how over it Kev is with people who just take energy… the ones who want to sit in it, talk in circles, not actually change anything. That shift of not wanting to engage the same way anymore. Anne's laughing half the time, then suddenly they're deep into potluck food… Jello molds, doilies, the weird stuff everyone grew up with.

Stacey shares her evolution from accidental leader to COO, and ultimately to entrepreneur, revealing the internal struggles, physical burnout signals, and emotional transitions that led her to make a bold exit.  If you've been questioning whether it's time to leave your current role, or wondering how to transition into entrepreneurship without burning out, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a practical path forward. What You Will Learn: Leadership is not about having all the answers but about guiding others to find their own. Burnout often shows up physically before you consciously recognize it. Leaving corporate requires both emotional readiness and strategic financial planning. True leadership balances empathy for people with the realities of business decisions. Entrepreneurship demands self-trust without the constant validation of a team. Creating space to rest and reset is essential before building what comes next.

Episode 3343: Steve Pavlina emphasizes that consistent action, simply showing up, is the foundation of meaningful progress in any area of life. By turning abstract goals into repeatable habits, you can place growth on autopilot and let small, steady efforts compound into lasting results. Commit to the process, and success becomes far more inevitable than elusive. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/12/showing-up/ Quotes to ponder: "While merely showing up, to work, to an audition, to a date, etc., won't guarantee success, it's certainly a prerequisite." "All I need to do is keep showing up, and the rest is on autopilot." "You don't need to be fancy or clever or brilliant if you can be consistent." Learn more about your ad choices.

There are mornings Arnold doesn't want to move. No inspiration, no fire — just a flat, heavy world and a bed that makes more sense than any workout. What gets him up isn't a playlist or a vision board. It's a blunt, unglamorous question he asks himself that he'd never put on a motivational poster.In this episode, Arnold shares the raw inner monologue behind his hardest mornings, and what science actually says about motivation, habit formation, and why everything you've been told about the 21-day rule is wrong. (The real timeline is longer. Most people quit right before it clicks.)The key insight: the feeling doesn't lead. It follows. And waiting for it to arrive before you begin is the most common rep people do, until not starting becomes who they are.This one's for the Tuesday mornings when nobody's watching and nothing feels exciting. Those are, Arnold argues, the only reps that actually matter.
