Have you ever looked at your planner and thought, “I'm behind in everything — I can't keep up”?”If you're an overwhelmed mom with a to-do list that feels like it's running your life, this little episode is for you. These past few weeks have been a blur here—ER visits, medical to-dos, homeschooling catch-up, family visiting, and a cold—and even with all of that, my planner is still covered in crossed-out tasks and undone lists. Maybe you're living a week like that too.In this gentle mini-reflection, I share the moment everything broke open for me—when I was moving nonstop yet still felt painfully behind—and the simple, faith-filled reset that helped me breathe again. You'll hear why our brains get stuck in the “I can't catch up” loop, the verse that steadied my heart, and a tiny shift that can bring clarity right in the middle of a very full life.If your mental load is heavy and you feel behind in everything, this episode will give you a breath of grace and a practical next step without adding more to your plate.XOXO,KatieWould you like to bless this show?

Send us a textIf “I'll start tomorrow” keeps turning into next week, this fast, punchy guide will help you start today. We break down the five silent saboteurs that derail momentum—comfort voice, perfection trap, invisible audience, dopamine dealer, and excuse expert—and show how to beat each one with small, decisive moves that take less than five minutes.We open by naming the patterns that sound helpful but stall progress. The comfort voice tells you to rest when you need to move, so we swap vague intentions for 120-second starts and simple setups that make action easy. Perfection pretends to protect quality, but it blocks reps, so we lean on constraints, quick deadlines, and the rule of one: one draft, one take, shipped. If you fear judgment, the invisible audience is smaller than you think; use low visibility as a training ground and publish to learn, not to impress.Next, we tackle the dopamine dealer that lives in your phone. Ten minutes of scrolling stretches into an hour without a plan, so we budget attention with timers, notification silencing, and out-of-reach devices. Urges fade when you don't feed them, and active recovery beats passive grazing. Finally, we confront the excuse expert. Time isn't found, it's assigned, so we anchor priorities with one non-negotiable before noon and the smallest possible version of your habit to protect identity and momentum.By the end, you'll have a clear checklist to move now: choose a tiny first step, add a constraint, make distractions costly, and ship something imperfect. No pep talk, just proof through action. If this helped you take even one step today, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a push, and leave a quick review so more people can turn intention into progress.

In this #amwriting podcast Write Big session, Jennie Nash talks with author Mary Laura Philpott about the surprising choice she made after her acclaimed book Bomb Shelter—to stop writing on purpose. Mary Laura shares how, after pouring everything into that project, her gut told her she didn't need to rush into another, despite the pressure of “what's next?” from the industry and readers. This conversation reframes writing big not as chasing ambition, but as honoring your gut and giving your whole heart to whatever season you're in—even if that means not writing at all.TRANSCRIPT BELOW!THINGS MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST:* Mary Laura Philpott's website* Bomb Shelter* The New York Times ReviewSPONSORSHIP MESSAGEHey, it's Jenny Nash, and if you've been writing a new book through the month of November and wondering if it's any good, this might be the perfect time to work with an Author Accelerator certified book coach to get a professional gut check.

This is a Write Big Session, where I'm bringing you short episodes about the mindset shifts that help you stop playing small and write like it matters. Today, I'm talking to Mary Laura Philpott about the idea of trusting your gut. This is a critical component to writing big, and I asked Mary Laura to come speak to us because a very interesting thing happened to her after the publication of her second book, Bomb Shelter: Love, Time, and Other Explosives. This book is so good. It's a book about being a parent and a daughter and a spouse and a person in the world. And what happened was that she stopped writing—on purpose. Her gut told her, “I'm done now.” And it struck me that if we could understand what makes a successful writer choose not to write; maybe we could understand better what makes us each choose to write big. So welcome, Mary Laura.Mary Laura PhilpottHello, friend. Thanks for having me.Jennie NashAh, I'm so excited to have this conversation. I've been wanting to have it for a very long time.Mary Laura PhilpottOh, good.Jennie NashSo thanks for joining us. This is maybe your second, third, fourth time on the Hashtag AmWriting Podcast—you're a fan favorite. So welcome back. To set this conversation up, I'm going to read a little snippet from The New York Times review of Bomb Shelter, which was written by Judith Warner, and in which she called your book a “master work.” I'm going to read the end of her review, because it really sets up this question that we're going to be talking about.So she writes: “I want to say something negative about this book. To be this positive is, I fear, to sound like a nitwit. So to nitpick—there's some unevenness to the quality of the sentences in the final chapter—but there's no fun in pointing that out. Philpott already knows. I'm telling this story now in present tense. She writes, ‘I'm still in it, not yet able to shape it from the future's perspective. The story is still being written, and that's all right. The only problem is having to wait to read what comes next.'”So—you wrote this book, which was your second book…Mary Laura PhilpottSecond book of this type—yes, kind of second, second memoir.Jennie NashSecond book of this type. And you get this beyond rave review in The New York Times by this luminary reviewer, in which she says, “I can't wait to see what you write next.” And here we sit some years later, in which the answer is—there is nothing next. So can you talk about that? Can you talk about how you—first of all, what that feels like?Mary Laura PhilpottYeah, it's—I mean, you know this feeling of before a book is even on shelves, people are already asking, “So what's next? Like, what are you working on?” You know? And then you go on tour, and every question everywhere is, “So what are you working on now?” There's this relentless, kind of—this churning wheel of productivity behind it all. And so I'm used to that, and I was used to that feeling of, okay, the book is out, people are talking about it, but I need to be working on something next, because that's always been how it is. But I was tired. That was a really—I love that review so much, and I love the way this book was received—but it was a really emotional book to write, and it was a really emotional book to tour with and go out and talk about for several weeks on end. And so when I came back home, I was like, you know, I get to decide how this little hamster wheel of productivity goes—and I have decided I need a break, and I'm going to focus on, you know—I had, like, one or two years left with my kids at home before they left the nest. I was like, I'm just going to be at home. I'm going to focus inward. I'm just going to be kind of living life on my own terms. And I did that for about a year—and then another year—and now it's been... let's see... here we are in 2025... It's been three years since that book came out. I have not written another book, and I have never been so calm about not being in the middle of writing another book. It just feels like I don't have something I urgently need to say.Jennie NashYeah.Mary Laura PhilpottAnd I also feel—there's something rebellious in the beginning about saying, “I'm not going to do it.” But once the rebellion kind of burns off and you realize, actually, I don't owe anyone anything—like, I'm not under contract for another book. I had the sort of miraculous timing of my editor for Bomb Shelter and for I Miss You When I Blink retiring right after Bomb Shelter came out, so I don't even have an editor breathing down my neck going, “Come on, what's your next thing?” So I've been experimenting with saying I'm retired. When people ask me, like, “What are you working on?” I say, “I might be retired. I don't know if I am. It might be temporary. It might be—this might be like Ross and Rachel: are we on a break, or are we broken up? I don't know.” But I am so calm and happy with the decision not to be getting up every day and sitting at my desk. It's like a cord has been cut in me—and I don't feel any guilt about it.Jennie NashSo you said you feel that you don't have anything to say. When you started these books and your other books and projects, did you feel that?Mary Laura PhilpottAlways! Yes. Like, I—for myself and for other people—like, I need to get this on paper. There's that therapeutic part of writing: I need to get this on paper and organize it so that I can understand what it is I think. That's not enough of a reason to go through the misery of publishing a book, but it's something. And then there's the other part—where you, or for me, where once I figure out what it is that I'm thinking as I'm putting it on paper, I realize there are other people who may feel this way, and translating it into words is a gift. And it's something that I want to be able to do for readers, and I want to enter into that two-way conversation with my words and my readers. And it's not that I don't have anything interesting to talk about right now—it's just that I don't have anything keeping me up at night, begging to be translated and, therefore, you know, urging me to the page. I've started and stopped little—not books, but like other little projects here and there—where I'm like, oh, maybe I want to play around with this idea. And then I put them down, and I just feel... it's honestly the first time in my life I have felt no guilt about not working on the thing that everyone thinks I should be working on. And it's so weird because other people seem to have really strong feelings about it.Jennie NashI was going to say, what are people's reactions when you say, “I might be retired”?Mary Laura PhilpottThe other day—okay, so I'm going to tell you about this event I went to the other day. It was a book event for a woman who we all know, who's pretty well known, and this is her—I don't know—fourth or fifth or sixth book and it's very much anticipated by its readers. And she's exactly my age—she's 51—and when I went to this event, I ran into a lot of other book people who I know, and of course, the first question everyone asks: “What are you working on?” So I decided to test out my line, and I would say, “I think I might be retired.” The vehemence with which people go, “No, you're not! Like, shut up!”—I got told “Shut up” so many times. Like, what? Why? Why do people have this strong reaction? But then—and then, you know, I'm such a people pleaser that if enough people say, “Shut up. No, you're not,” I start to question myself. I'm like, maybe I should try? I don't know. I don't want to disappoint everybody. But then we sat down for the discussion part of this event, and someone in the audience asked this fellow writer, “Where do you want to be in ten years? Look ahead ten years and tell us what you see.” And she said, “In ten years, I will be in my early sixties, and I think by then I'd like to hang it up and live life just for me.” And I felt so viscerally and instantly—oh, no, I do not want to wait ten years. I wanted to yell out, “You don't have to wait till then!” But, you know, to each her own—and she may have ten years more of wanting to be out and about and hustling and doing this.Jennie NashYeah, yeah. So it sounds like you wouldn't characterize what you're feeling as burnout. It's not—it's not like, “Oh, I burned out, and I'll get back to it someday.” It feels really as if you arrived at a different place.Mary Laura PhilpottIt feels like—yes, it feels more like closure than like burnout. And that has changed. That feeling has changed over the last two to three years. In the beginning, it did feel like burnout—like, when I came home from that book tour, I was wrung out. I mean, I was thrilled, it was—it was amazing—but I was tired. And I thought—I remember you and I talking about this and saying, “You know what? I've just—I left it all on the field. I'm exhausted, and I need to take a year-long nap.” And then, over time, it became more of an “Okay, I'm not burned out. I actually feel fine. I'm just taking a break.” And I've talked to—you and I have a good friend in common, Laura Vanderkam, who writes a lot about productivity, and she and I had a conversation once where I was like, “I think what this is, is a break. Just—I'm going to take a pause, and I'll decide when I'm done pausing. When I'm done pausing.” And that may be what it is. I do tend to live life kind of cyclically, so I might cycle back into “Now I want to do this,” or “Now I've written that.” But right now it feels like this really peaceful closure. And even if I do write something again—which, come on, I mean, I probably will at some point—the part that feels closed is the hustle part. The part that—a lot of us don't actually really enjoy that much—which is not the writing of the book or the, you know, nice conversations with the readers, but the part where it's like, okay, you've got to put together this tour schedule, and you've got to answer all these questions for these promotional essays, and—and now you've got to—you know, this promotional machine that—“Go get your photo taken again.” I'm so sick of my face...Multiple Speakers[Both laughing]Jennie NashRight?! It's the performing aspect of being a writer.Mary Laura PhilpottYeah.Jennie NashDid—does any of this have to do with the fact that Bomb Shelter...? I know we talked about it at one point—that you felt, while you were writing it, that this—that it was good. Like, you knew that your vision was matching the execution. And then the world reflected back to you that yes, it is good—you did do that, and at a really high level. Particularly that one. There were a lot of reviews like that, but that sort of was the shining—you know, shining star. Was there a—do you think that the fact that you wrote the book—you know, we're always trying to write the book that we envision, and we don't always get there—and it feels like you got there. Does that have to do with this feeling, do you think?Mary Laura PhilpottMaybe—because there—I mean, you're right, there is almost always a gap between—before we write the thing—this wonderful, amorphous idea in our head where it's like, “This is just a shining galaxy of thoughts,” and then you get it on paper, and its like, “Oops, I killed it. I flattened it.” And there's always this gap between the two. And with Bomb Shelter, I really did—it has the smallest possible gap of anything I've ever written. And so maybe, you know, maybe that is part of it—that I feel like, what else am I waiting for? Like, what else could I want to do? If you get down to the pure reason of why we do this and what draws you to the page—and also the part of my personality that is, for better or for worse, kind of Type A and achievement-driven—this is... maybe I got to that point where I was like, well, I got the A-plus-plus-plus. What else could I try to get? I don't think that's entirely it, because it's not the whole reason that I write. I don't think it's like, “I got the A-plus-plus-plus, now there's nothing left to say.” When there's something to say, I'll say it. But I do—I think you're right that that's part of it.Jennie NashAnd the idea of writing for other people—that there's the writing, and then there's the connecting with other people, knowing that you're doing it for other people, then being out there in the world with those people— Is there a world in which you would write something that doesn't go into the world? Or is that not... I feel like that's something I would not be able to do at this point in my— But I'm so wired and attuned to writing for consumption.Mary Laura PhilpottYeah.Jennie NashI mean, I write for myself. Of course I write the things I want to write—you know, all those things are true—and, yes, for other people.Mary Laura PhilpottYes. Well—and I tend to be similar to you in that regard. And there's so much—you know, we talked a couple minutes ago about the difference between the therapeutic reasons why you start writing and then the actual hard, somewhat miserable work of getting it from the therapeutic version to something that is publishable. And that takes such discipline and real care for the art of it—of turning this thing that was helpful for your own brain into a piece of art that is worth someone investing in and putting out there in the world. I think—I do—I mean, in a way, I kind of write all the time, and you are similar to me in this. Like, we email, we—you know, we're very communicative people, so the writing part of my brain is doing something all the time. And I have started a few little weird projects here and there where I'm like, “Oh, I've had an idea for this,” and I'll, you know, write a few pages and then just kind of set it aside—without feeling like I've got to go attack it with that discipline that turns it into something.Jennie NashYeah.Mary Laura PhilpottAnd maybe that's the part of my brain that's just tired—that's like, I'm still tired. And when I am untired, I will go back and pull those things out and play with them some more. I don't know.Jennie NashYeah, yeah. Well, I love your characterization of that, because I have been talking about this—this newish idea—or I have newish words around this idea of calling it “Write Big”. And people often, I think rightly so, mistake that for big ambition, big goals, big wins, big success, big money—you know, all those things. And it's not that at all, actually. It's the doing the thing with your whole heart.Mary Laura PhilpottYes!Jennie NashNo matter what the thing is.Mary Laura PhilpottAnd not holding back.Jennie NashAnd what you're saying is that the cost of that for you—you're not going to do something. It's not that. And the cost of that for you is too high.Mary Laura PhilpottAt the moment it is. At the moment, when I think about—when I look around at the life I'm in—and this is professionally and personally—there's this interesting confluence, which is, I'm in my... I've just finished my first year of empty nesting. So this has been the first year of my life since I, you know, first had a baby, where my days do not in any way revolve around a school schedule, a nap schedule, a feeding schedule, etc. And then I did maybe the dumbest thing ever—and I adopted a puppy, who does have feeding and nap and all this other stuff. And so all my displaced maternal energy has now been funneled into this puppy, whom I absolutely love—but he is a wild and crazy ‘Looney Tune'. And when I look at the way my days look right now—which is the get up, make my coffee, walk the puppy, feed the puppy, you know, teach the puppy how to sit—and I think, do I feel like trading that right now for getting a dog sitter and going into my office and writing for multiple hours? I don't. I don't want to trade that right now. I may change—I fully reserve the right to change my mind and be like those, you know, sports players who are like, “I'm retired,” and then the next season, they're like, “I'm out of retirement.” Maybe I'll come out of retirement. But right now, what I want to do is feed my puppy, teach my puppy, be available on a moment's notice. If a kid says, “Hey, I was the understudy for this play, but I got called up to be in a performance this weekend,” I want to be able to jump on a plane and go and not have other commitments. I'm enjoying that. And I do fully recognize—I should give this disclaimer—that this is a very privileged situation I am in. My income from books is not what paid our mortgage. I'm married. I have a spouse with a job that has health insurance, you know, so I'm able to make decisions. And I do feel the financial consequences of these decisions. Like, it's not a small deal for me to be like, “I'm not going to write another book,” because that would have been important income—but it's not the only income in our house. So I'm not—if I had still young children coming up, lots of tuitions to pay, mouths to feed—this might not be so easy for me to just be like, “I want to play with my puppy.”Jennie NashRight, right. Well—the idea we started with, of writing big, is trusting your gut. Not writing is trusting your gut. All of this starts and ends with: what do we think, what do we feel, what do we want to say?Mary Laura PhilpottYeah.Jennie NashThose are such hard things to know, and it feels like you're just really tuned into that right now. And you talked at the very beginning—you said that it feels peaceful. Can you just maybe, to end our conversation, describe that feeling? Because that, I think, is what we all are looking for with our work—whether we're doing it or not doing it—is peace around it.Mary Laura PhilpottYeah. I think a big part of the peace—and I wish I had found this earlier, when I did still have things to say and I was writing—because I think it could have removed a lot of distraction for me in writing big, the way you say—is tuning out other people's voices. And if you are the type of person, as I am, who—like, when the Olympics are on TV and I see the person doing the high jump, I'm like, “I bet I could do that if I went and—” like, which obviously I cannot. But I have that part of my brain that's like, “Should I try to do everything I'm capable of doing? Like, I can't. I can't leave anything undone. I should. I should go try to be the best at everything I could ever be the best at.” Because, you know, other people expect me to work hard and produce things. And to be able to tune out that inner voice and other people's voices—those voices that equate productivity with worth—and, you know, “If people aren't talking about the new thing you've done, then how do you even prove you're worth the air you breathe?” Disconnecting from those voices is what led to the peace. And I think I was beginning to disconnect from that while I was writing Bomb Shelter. I think that's why that book worked, in some ways—because I really—I mean, remember, I wrote it during the pandemic. I wrote it when I was stuck at home. I had less contact with the outside world than ever before. We did not know what book publishing was going to look like. We did not know if there would ever be another book tour. So I really did write that book in a bubble of having as little outside input as possible. So I think that's the—maybe, if there's any key to peace—it's tuning out voices that you just don't need.Jennie NashI love that. I love that so much. And I think we will end our conversation there, because it's so profound and it's so good.Mary Laura PhilpottThank you for having me.Jennie NashWell, for our listeners—until next time, stop playing small and write like it matters.NarratorThe Hashtag AmWriting Podcast is produced by Andrew Perrella.

Sarah saw an old clip from the Ruins season of the Challenge with Susie and Sarah together, and we discuss why the boys bullied Sarah. We learn why time seems to be speeding up for everyone, and what you can do to slow it down. Sarah explains the strange nature of the Kardashians editing and why she enjoys vacuous movies and tv while Susie, who is a big fan of superficiality normally is a documentary junkie. We discuss why elephant seals drop like a stone in the ocean when they're sleeping, and why humans are far more vulnerable when they snooze each night. Susie finally watched Jaws a half century after it's premiere, and she has some thoughts about the "f*cked up" plot, the illogical title, and questions about the sequels. This is the belated movie review no one asked for, but everyone needs.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Right now, you can stack our code BRAINCANDY at https://cozyearth.com on top of their sitewide sale - giving you up to 40% off in savings.

Family and friendship are among God’s greatest gifts, yet they can also be some of life’s hardest places to navigate. Today's prayer and devotional from Alicia Searl reflects on a phrase her father often said: “You only get one dose of family.” Over time, grief and loss transformed those words into a deeper truth: “You only get one dose of family, so love them like it’s their last day.” As we enter the Thanksgiving season—a time that often highlights both joy and tension—Scripture calls us to something higher: “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone” (Hebrews 12:14). Peace in relationships doesn’t happen by accident. It requires humility, forgiveness, patience, and a grateful heart. Alicia reminds us that when we invite God into our relationships, He softens our hearts and restores what is broken. Through His Word, the Lord points us toward hope (Jeremiah 29:11), healing (Psalm 147:3), and restoration (1 John 4:20). This season, as you gather around tables and reunite with those you love, consider the sacredness of your time together. Psalm 90:12 urges us to number our days so we may gain a heart of wisdom. Life is brief. Our relationships matter. And every moment of grace, peace, and patience reflects the heart of our relational God. Choose gratitude. Choose peace. Choose love—even when it’s difficult. God is honored in these choices, and He promises to work within them. Today's Bible Reading:“Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.” – Hebrews 12:14 Takeaway Truths God gives us the gift of family and friends for His divine purposes. Peace in relationships requires effort, prayer, and the work of the Holy Spirit. Time with loved ones is sacred and fleeting—choose to use it well. Gratitude softens the heart and opens the door for healing and unity. Let’s Pray Faithful Father, we are so thankful that You give us the gift of family and precious friendships. As a relational God, we know that You command us to cherish and deepen these relationships by nourishing them with love and cultivating peace. Oh, but we need Your help, wisdom, and guidance. Please help us foster a heart of gratitude this beautiful season that softly calls us to see the many blessings You have so graciously provided. Allow us to show and give thanks to those You have so lovingly placed in our lives with our words, actions, and deeds. Grant us the means to be peacemakers and restore hope and healing to relationships that need Your hand of mercy. When various waves of emotions arrive, temper our thoughts, calm our hearts, and soothe our souls with Your Word of Truth. We want to live intentionally, honoring You with our time, because our days here on this side of eternity matter and hold a greater purpose. I am so very thankful that one day all will be restored, and I eagerly anticipate the glory that awaits us as we spend eternity with You, in peace, love, and divine unity. Thank You for that hope. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Send us a textWelcome to another unfiltered Members Only episode where Trent and Aaron spiral into storytime chaos—ripping into everything from the cult of military influencers to the sacred tradition of roasting yourself in the team room. Aaron drops the mic with a jailhouse tale involving littering (yes, really), an angry Ohio cop, and a court date just days before shipping to Lackland. They torch the idea of stolen valor and the performative milfluencer scene, and Trent calls out the “no true Scotsman” nonsense that infects veteran one-upmanship.Oh, and they both agree: if you're using “retired” to feel better than someone with a med board—get over yourself. This one's packed with spicy opinions, war room gossip, and just enough UFC banter to keep your BMF belt warm.

Another year flying by? Another birthday that came too fast? I get it. Time feels like it's speeding up every single year. But what if I told you that you can actually slow time down? Not with some weird trick, but by understanding how your brain processes time. When you rush around all day, time flies. When you slow down and focus deeply on what matters, time expands. I've been studying Einstein's theory of relativity and Benjamin Hardy's work on extreme goals, and I'm going to show you how to take control of your time starting today. Featured Story My birthday's coming up. November 21st, if you're wondering. And like clockwork, I catch myself thinking the same thing I think every year. Is it my birthday again already? Didn't we just do this? When I was five years old, waiting for Christmas felt like forever. A year was an eternity. Now? A year feels like a month. But I've figured something out. When I'm rushing around all day, busy-busy-busy, trying to get everything done, time absolutely flies. Days blur into weeks. Weeks blur into years. When I slow down and focus deeply on the work that matters? Time stretches out. The day feels longer. I get more done and still have time left over. That's what relativity looks like in real life. Important Points When you run fast all day trying to get everything done, your entire life speeds up and years fly by before you know it. Slowing down and focusing deeply on essential goals actually makes time expand and gives you all the free time you'll ever need. Setting extreme goals with compressed timelines forces you into deep work mode where time slows down and you accomplish what matters most. Memorable Quotes "When you go fast, fast, fast, everything goes fast. The days, the weeks, the years, your life flies by when you do that." "When you slow down, when you hold space for yourself, things change." "Time slows down and you enjoy your day like you were born to." Scott's Three-Step Approach Set an extreme goal that's so big it almost scares you, then compress the timeline to force your focus on what actually matters. Stop rushing through your to-do list and start holding space for deep work on the essential things that move you toward your goals. Focus on results relevant to your dreams and watch as time magically slows down and you find free time you didn't know existed.

You and Tom spend this episode unpacking a surprisingly liberating idea for investors: that average is good enough. Kicking off with your own story about a two-star podcast rating, you two stumble into a bigger truth—most people are chasing a level of portfolio perfection that doesn't matter. Christine Benz's Morningstar piece becomes the backbone of the discussion, contrasting “maximizers” (engineers, tinkerers, over-optimizers) with “satisfizers” (simple, diversified, sane). From there you hit Tesla's trillion-dollar pay package drama, Bito's goofy “dividends,” SGOV vs. CD ladders, fears about private equity sneaking into retirement plans, and a few classic Don-and-Tom tangents. The message: stop overthinking, build a sensible portfolio, and go live your life. 0:04 Don's two-star review existential crisis and the epiphany about doing things for joy 1:16 Why being “average” in investing (and life) is perfectly fine 1:45 Elon Musk compensation debate and ETF shareholders not getting a vote 3:12 Don's “brilliant raving lunatic” take on Elon and Tesla's dominance 4:38 The kings of tangentiality finally introduce the show 5:55 Christine Benz and the “Good Enough Portfolio” philosophy 6:36 Maximizers vs. satisfizers explained (plus Bogle bobbleheads) 8:53 Why over-optimization rarely improves results 9:56 Happiness and second-guessing: satisfizers win 11:22 Time costs, tax worries, and the illusion of finding a perfect portfolio 12:33 Two-fund vs. ten-fund portfolios and why simplicity works 13:55 Working harder doesn't usually make you richer—your job does 14:25 Listener letter: long-time fan from Silverdale reminisces about 1988 15:26 Tom recalls being put on the air after several glasses of wine 16:03 Acorns user asks about BITO's wild “dividends” 18:10 Why BITO's payouts are actually return of capital and cannibalization 19:58 BITO's volatility roller-coaster (standard deviation 53) 20:12 SGOV vs. CD ladders for short-term retirement cash 22:07 Why emergency funds shouldn't sit in a Roth IRA 22:58 Listener concerned about private equity creeping into 401(k)s 23:52 PE risks, political pressure, and greater-fool concerns 25:27 Don thanks listener “AlwaysLearning1953” for the positive review 26:49 Murder of Crows, sound effects, and the power of scary crows 27:36 New Tales Told update—more stories on the way 28:38 Saturday live show reminder and flyover banter 28:58 Don's Kansas/Leavenworth childhood story detour Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Ninja Selling Podcast, Northern Virginia Realtor and Ninja, April Myers, explores what it really looks like to stay magnetic, consistent, and growth-minded when life gets very real. Based in Arlington, Virginia, with @properties in the DC suburbs, April shares how her background as a recruiting leader and VP of strategic growth helped her become fearless in sales and build powerful relationships with agents across her market. Those relationships are now a major asset in her real estate business. But the heart of this episode is deeply personal. In late 2024, April's husband, who has epilepsy, experienced a seizure after more than 10 years without one, and then another in early 2025. He lost his driver's license for nearly a year, which meant April became the full-time driver for her husband, her young son, and her clients… all while working in a volatile DC-area market with layoffs, uncertainty, and a government shutdown. Despite all of that, April is on track to grow her business by roughly 20% over last year in a market that is not up 20%. She walks through, very candidly, how she did it: mindset work, strict time blocking, non-negotiable morning routines, consistent FLOW (both live and auto), and a refusal to become a victim of her circumstances. This episode is a powerful example of Ninja principles in action when life is anything but easy. Key Takeaways Mindset first, always. April made a conscious decision early on: "I will not be a victim of my circumstances." That choice, to be a player instead of a victim, became the foundation for everything that followed. Systems let your business run while you're running. Before her family crisis hit, April had already built a solid Ninja business plan, a database, and consistent habits. When life got harder, those systems kept the business moving even when time shrank. Time blocking is self-preservation, not punishment. April blocks her calendar for real estate reviews, monthly emails, FLOW activities, and even which clients get a review each month. By deciding ahead of time, she removes the thinking burden from "future April" and just executes. FLOW is her superpower: auto + live. About 225–240 people in her database, with ~150 local in the DMV. At least two emails per month: one local lifestyle/events email and one real estate/market update from her Gmail. Regular mailings: quarterly newsletters, postcards, topical or seasonal pieces, plus tools like Homebot, and a vendor guide. Live FLOW: birthday calls, home anniversaries, client service calls every week, and at least one client dinner a month. April rarely "misses a beat" with her FLOW, even in a chaotic year. Recruiting experience turned into a massive advantage. Years of recruiting 175–200 agents made her fearless on the phone, great at conversations, and deeply connected to top agents in her market. These relationships now help her get offers accepted in competitive situations. Look for silver linings in hard seasons. When her husband lost his license, April chose to use extra time at school pickups, games, and events to go deeper with other parents, neighbors, and community members. That intentional presence has led to unexpected, high-quality clients in a tough year. Consistency beats "doing it all." April openly admits she didn't do as many open houses as she "should" have, but she stayed consistent on the core Ninja activities she could execute. The result: her business is up in a down market. Memorable Quotes "I refused to become a victim of my circumstances." "I still look back on the last 10 or 11 months and think, 'I don't know how I did it.' But I knew I needed a plan and a system to run my business like a business." "Those years recruiting agents made me fearless. If you can call Realtors every day who don't want to talk to you, it's a lot easier to talk to people who actually do want to talk to you." "I wanted to be an anomaly. I was already going to be, so why let this stop me?" "I started getting up a half hour to an hour earlier every day. I needed that time for affirmations and mindset because it keeps me grounded and sane." "It's like going to the gym. It's hard at first, and you don't see changes, but change doesn't happen overnight. You start to see results, and that keeps you going." "Trust the silver linings. Something hard might be happening, but there might be something better around the corner that you can't see yet." "We say the three keys to success are mindset, skill set, and action, in that order. I couldn't control what happened, but I could control my response to what happened."

The Steelers have depth, next man up is a real thing with some substitutes appearing to out play some injured starters. Should Mason Rudolph, James Pierre and Malik Harrison keep the majority of the reps. If the playoffs started to the Steelers would host the Buffalo Bills, yeah the same Bills they host in week 12. It's an 7-game journey to AFC North supremacy, the NFL playoffs & hopefully Super Bowl LX (60) in Santa Clara, California. Time to stack wins, it sounds far away, but it's not.

Every average agent wants to know what top producers are doing differently to get their results. They're in the same market, dealing with the same obstacles, and working with the same number of hours, yet somehow, they keep pulling ahead. Over the years, we've noticed clear patterns: top producers share the same habits, and struggling agents share the same mistakes. The contrast couldn't be clearer. Top producers don't rely on luck or talent; they rely on discipline. Their edge isn't in the big things; it's in the small, repeatable actions that make up their daily routine. But it's not just about structure; it's also about boundaries. There's a rhythm to how top producers move through their day; a structure that keeps them focused while everyone else is reacting. What do top producers do every single day? How are they so effective with their time management? In this episode, we're breaking down what a real top producer's day looks like, the routines, time blocks, and mindset shifts that separate consistency from chaos. Things You'll Learn The day starts the night before Top producers don't wait for the morning to get organized; they close out the previous day with reflection and a plan. How do you make preparation part of your routine? Prioritization drives everything Top producers focus on the handful of calls and conversations that actually move the business forward. What does your version of a focused day look like? Structure creates freedom The best agents know exactly when their day ends, and that clarity makes them more productive. How do you use time blocking to draw the line between work and downtime? Time blocks keep chaos out Lead gen, follow-up, research, and even thinking time are all scheduled and protected for top producers. What time blocks could make your business feel more consistent? Host Bio Greg Harrelson is a real estate agent, coach, trainer, and owner of Century 21 The Harrelson Group. He has been in the real estate business for over 30 years and has been professionally trained by coaches like Mike, Matthew, Tom Ferry, Chet Holmes, and Tony Robbins. He is in the top 1% of all Realtors nationwide. His goal is to empower his clients with the information necessary to make sound financial decisions while being sensitive to the experience one is looking for in real estate ownership. The Harrelson Group has been the leading office in the Myrtle Beach real estate market for years, and they have recently added a new office in Charleston, SC. Abe Safa is a highly experienced real estate expert with over two decades in the industry. He is a key leader at Century 21 The Harrelson Group, where he specializes in helping clients navigate complex real estate transactions with ease.

Send us a textWithout Threase Baker, today's episode would never have happened....Thank you!!!!What happens when the person who commands rooms across continents can't get a 10-year-old to go to bed? We sit down with a former Reebok and Adidas executive who built categories, led massive teams in Asia, and then walked into the hardest leadership arena of his life: his own home. Stripped of titles and certainty in 2020, he discovered how much of his identity depended on work—and how little that meant to his five kids. The result is a raw, hopeful story about presence, humility, and rebuilding trust one small moment at a time.We trace his early years—divorced parents, boarding school, ice hockey and lacrosse as a lifeline—and the unlikely break that took him from door-to-door telecom to designing gear, flying solo to China, and launching Reebok Lacrosse. Then comes the undoing: burnout, a marriage in pain, and a “seeing” that shattered his autopilot. He describes mystical flashes of clarity where he could feel the depth of his children's inner lives and the ache they carried for one simple thing: Dad, do you see me? That question becomes the compass for everything that follows.This conversation is heavy on practicals and light on buzzwords. We break down a kid-led morning system built on Montessori principles that turned chaos into calm. We talk about divorce with uncommon generosity, including the choice to keep a nesting home so the kids stay rooted while parents rotate. We replace guilt with growth, framing hard seasons as nature's pruning—painful, purposeful, and profoundly fertile. And we share simple tests you can run today: a 60-second pause when interrupted, capability charts instead of nagging, a nightly “what did you need from me?” check-in, and one wise friend who can tell you the truth.He now runs Activat8, helping people uncover identity rather than chase another plan. The thesis is bold and freeing: when you know who you are without roles, your presence becomes the safest place in the house. If you've ever wondered how to move from performance to connection, or how to lead a family without a title, this one will meet you where you are and nudge you forward.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a dad who needs it, and leave a quick review.

What if the secret to balance wasn't managing your time better… but aligning it with what truly matters?In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Amy Loden Tiffany — Christian, physician, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and mom — who helps women navigate the toughest transitions of health and life with faith and purpose. From postpartum recovery to perimenopause, she knows firsthand that “time management” isn't enough if your heart and priorities are out of alignment.We talk about the moments that changed everything for her (including landing herself in the hospital) and what she learned about saying no as a form of stewardship — because when you don't say no to anyone, you can't say yes to God.Here's what we cover in this conversation:Why alignment matters more than balance or a perfect scheduleHow to protect your time by prioritizing what you say matters mostWhat it means to live by your VIPs: Values, Impact, and PrioritiesThe surprising cost of saying “yes” too often — personally and professionallyHow to steward your God-given gifts instead of carrying everyone else'sPractical ways to invite God into your daily decisions and listen for His directionIf you've ever felt stretched thin trying to do it all, this episode will remind you that boundaries aren't barriers — they're blessings.

In today's episode, former senator and government minister Katherine Zappone joins Kathy Sheridan to discuss her new memoir Love in a Time of Politics. In this wide-ranging conversation, Zappone charts her journey through Irish politics, from a fresh-faced senator appointed by then taoiseach Enda Kenny, right through to her tenure as minister for children and youth affairs. She speaks about the campaigns she's most proud of and the scandals she'd rather forget. The 71-year-old also reflects on her relationship with her beloved wife, Dr Ann Louise Gilligan who died in 2017 and the grief that followed her devastating loss. She tells Sheridan how she eventually found love again with her South African partner Jennifer and what the future now holds for the pair. But first, Irish Times opinion editor Jennifer O'Connell is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week, including Trump's unhinged behaviour aboard Air Force One and how and why the global skincare industry is targeting products towards children as young as four.Did you know The Irish Times Women's Podcast is turning ten years old?

Chaz Ebert, CEO of Ebert Digital and publisher of RogerEbert.com, joins us for an intimate conversation about continuing her late husband Roger Ebert's extraordinary legacy while forging her own path as a champion of empathy and understanding. Chaz shares how Roger's unwavering belief in movies as "empathy machines" continues to shape her work and advocacy. We dive into her new book, It's Time to Give a FECK, which expands upon the FECK Awards—a playful yet profound acronym celebrating films that embody Forgiveness, Empathy, Compassion, and Kindness. Chaz reveals how these values have become more than just criteria for recognizing cinema; they represent a transformative philosophy for living that she's now sharing with readers everywhere. Chaz also shares the inside scoop about her own film and directorial debut "Wellness Warrior" which tells the story of the creation of Rancho La Puerta, the famed wellness retreat by 103 year old Deborah Szekely - the "Godmother of Wellness." Chaz opens up about the power of forgiveness in her own journey, the compassion required to navigate profound loss, and why kindness isn't weakness but rather the strongest foundation for meaningful change. Her insights reveal how Roger's generous spirit and radical empathy continue to inspire new generations of film lovers, critics, and creators—and how she's ensuring that legacy remains a living, breathing force for good in an increasingly divided world.

In Round 97 of the Tactical Transition Tips on the Transition Drill Podcast, service transition comes in many forms. It might be opportunity, injury, burnout, new leadership, layoffs, or a change you didn't see coming. Military veterans, police officers, firefighters, EMS professionals, and law enforcement personnel often feel prepared for chaos on duty, yet struggle when transition arrives without warning. The real test isn't simply leaving service. It's building the ability to adapt when stability disappears. That's what this episode confronts head on. What happens when your future knocks and you no longer get time to prepare, you only get time to respond?Transition always carries pressure, but each phase requires a different strategy. These Tactical Transition Tips challenge a dangerous belief found across military and first responder careers. Time isn't guaranteed. Rank doesn't shield you. Stability isn't promised. The closer you get to transition, the more crucial readiness becomes. The mission is simple: live fully now, while building resilience for whatever comes next.This week's transition strategies focus on three groups:Close Range Group (transitioning immediately to one year out): Cut the Emotional Attachment NowIf something owns your emotions, it owns your choices; begin detachment training immediately to prevent hesitation from sabotaging your momentum.Medium Range Group (transitioning in five or so years): Train Your ExitUse this window to make mistakes when the stakes are low, test ideas, adjust leadership styles, and treat failure as scouting information.Long Range Group (transitioning in a decade or more): Always Be Ready to Walk in 30 SecondsBuild financial clarity, physical readiness, and emotional adaptability so you can pivot when life demands it instead of when you feel ready.Military transition, veteran transition, law enforcement transition, and life after service don't begin on a calendar date. They begin the moment you decide to stay ready.Because readiness isn't a luxury. It's a responsibility.The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service.

LET'S EAT! In this episode of the Bacon Bibles and Barbells podcast, Coaches Justin and Amanda delve into the concept of BIBLICAL feasting. Is indulging ever OK? If so, when, why, how? What does the Bible have to say? They explore its characteristics, purpose, and how to navigate holiday gatherings without guilt. We were made to feast, at the right time, for the righty reasons, with the right outlook. Always in community and with thankfulness. BUT, sometimes it's not your TIME or your TURN to be feasting like you have in the past. So they discuss the importance of planning, portion control, and mindful eating, especially during the feasting season for those people who need to be more intentional in the season that they find themselves in. The conversation emphasizes the communal aspect of feasting, the need for a positive mindset, and practical strategies for managing food choices during holidays if you are someone who tends to binge or overindulge. Listeners are encouraged to reframe their experiences and focus on the joy of celebration rather than guilt over food choices when the purpose is to feast with thankfulness, while also not letting the celebration get the best of them and their health goals in the long term. Give it a listen here or wherever you get your podcasts! Just look up Bacon, Bibles, and Barbells! Enjoy the episode!

Choosing the right pricing model can make or break a project, and understanding fixed bid vs time and materials is essential for developers, consultants, and business owners alike. In Part 2 of our Building Better Foundations interview with Charly Leetham, we explore the complexities behind scoping work, managing expectations, and balancing fairness with sustainability. This conversation dives into real experiences—both successful and painful—that highlight how important clarity is when building custom software or digital solutions. About Charly Leetham Charly Leetham brings more than 40 years of hands-on experience in building practical, reliable systems for small businesses. She earned her amateur radio license at 13, became an electronic engineer by 21, and completed her MBA while working full-time and raising two young children. Her career has spanned technical support, sales, project management, and client services, giving her a deep understanding of both technology and people. After running multiple franchises and overcoming a major business setback, she founded Ask Charly Leetham—now a long-standing digital services company supporting clients across Australia, the U.S., and beyond. Known for her clear, no-nonsense approach, Charly specializes in turning complex tech into simple, workable solutions. She also hosts Rise and Shine – Your Business Tech Boost, offering practical guidance to business owners who want answers they can trust. Facebook, Twitter / X, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website Fixed Bid vs Time and Materials: When Fixed Pricing Works Charly begins by explaining that fixed bid pricing only works when the scope is tight, clear, and measurable. If she can define every deliverable—content length, number of pages, number of images, required effort—then fixed pricing is a win for both sides. Everyone knows what will be delivered and at what cost. "Fixed bid requires fixed scope. If you can't list every deliverable, you shouldn't fix the price." – Charly Leetham But when the work involves unknowns, research, or variable technical challenges, time and materials become the safer, more honest approach. When ambiguity is present, Charly often starts with a one-hour or two-hour discovery block before offering a detailed estimate. Fixed Bid vs Time and Materials: Owning the Estimate One powerful theme from Charly's perspective is ownership. If she commits to a fixed price and the work takes longer than expected—yet stays within the original requirements—she believes it's her responsibility, not the client's problem. She compares it to car maintenance: if a mechanic quotes you a fixed price for an oil change, you don't pay extra because it took them longer internally. "If I overestimated my abilities, that's on me—not the client." Michael shares a similar story from his own experience: a large fixed-bid software project that went significantly over budget due to missed requirements and "muscle memory" business processes the client never mentioned. Even after months of discovery, unseen complexity still appeared late in development—forcing a learning experience the hard way. Hidden Requirements: The Biggest Threat to Fixed Bid Work One of the biggest takeaways from the episode is how hidden systems and unspoken workflows can wreck a fixed price project. Rob and Charly both describe situations where: Staff used spreadsheets leadership didn't know about Legacy systems connected to new tools in undocumented ways Workers avoided tools they disliked, creating shadow processes Teams hadn't been trained on the system they were supposed to use Business processes had evolved, but documentation had not These are the real reasons fixed bids go off the rails. Not because developers fail—but because the truth of the workflow is often hidden beneath assumptions. If you don't see the real workflow, your scope is incomplete. Good requirements gathering means observing actual work—not just interviewing leadership. Learning vs Billing: Handling Complexity Fairly Another powerful point from Charly is knowing when to charge for expertise and when to absorb learning time. She tells a story about spending hours researching spam protection for a client. She only billed a fraction of that time, because much of it was her own learning. The next client benefited from that knowledge instantly—and paid a fair fixed price for the solution. That balance of fairness and sustainability is what keeps clients trusting you long-term. Final Thoughts: Getting Fixed Bid vs Time and Materials Right Charly ends with practical advice for developers: stay clear and intentional. Whether you're working fixed bid or time and materials, understand what you're building, pause when you're stuck, and talk through problems with someone. Much of the development clarity comes from simply stating the issue aloud. In the end, fixed bid vs time and materials isn't just about pricing. It's about transparency, expectations, and knowing when each model protects both the client and the developer. With strong communication, clear requirements, and honest scoping, you set the foundation for projects that deliver value without surprises.

In this stirring message on the trials of Job, Jill shares what she has learned from the examples of those who responded rightly to suffering.Jill shares her own struggles with waiting through difficult situations and overcoming the temptation to think that if God doesn't answer prayers the way we want, God isn't good. Jill shows us how we can learn to say, like Job, “I will accept it, as from a good God,” and allow our situation to increase our faith and dependence on our Redeemer.

Jeff Bridges, her boyfriend, Jeff Beck, a fan boy, Roger Daltrey, the boy next door, and OJ & Nicole, her party guests. She can prove it. She's got Polaroids of all of them, and so many more. They're all in her new book, Tight Heads, available here at allnight-menu.com just in time for the holidays. It was great to sit down and catch up with my pal, Candy Clark. We used to run around BC (before COVID) and shared a bunch of Hollywood adventures, and bumped into each other at a concert or two. It's been way too long and more Zoom than not since the whole pandemic thing. Candy never stopped making the scene; I've barely dipped a toe. Time to change that. And with whom better than this exuberant, energetic, indefatigable beauty? We talked Candy's life change from Texas receptionist to New York model with $10 and a business card in her pocket. How she parlayed that to hooking up with American film royalty, an Academy Award nomination, co-starring with a rockstar, and partying with everybody, everywhere, all at once. Love this amazing woman who refuses to age or grow up. Thank God! Great stories, and she's so damn easy on the eyes. Candy Clark on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson- SWEET!

Psychic news article writer and paranormal author and ghost researcher John West guests on the Paranormal Peep Show speaking to Neil Ward. John explains about his research into various ghostly anomalies, mostly of the Roman ghost variety. He explains about the famous Roman Ghosts of York sighted by apprentice plumber Harry Martindale in 1953 at the Chancellors House which was built over a Roman road. It appears that Harry saw the Romans of the past marching down over this Roman Road, but he saw them coming through the wall of a cellar he was working on. In 1957, possibly the same Romans were seen again in the cellar but this time by a house keeper of the Chancellors house who was checking up on the building before retiring to bed. This time the Romans were sleeping, slumped accross their horses that marched them back to camp. Was it a stone tape recording, or a some kind of time slip? John shares various accounts of possible time slips with Roman horses sighted on carriages but being frightened of people in the present time who are witnessing them. We also hear of the Roman centurian seen ten feet in the air off Hadrien's Wall, presumably at the level the wall originally stood at before it began to crumble. We also discuss ghosts from Jack the Ripper time and ask if Ghosts could have been created in more modern times, such as with the killings done by Fred and Rose West of Cromwell Avenue in Gloucester in the 70s, 80s and 90s of many young women.

Dr. Linda Duska and Dr. Kathleen Moore discuss key studies in the evolving controversy over radical upfront surgery versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy in advanced ovarian cancer. TRANSCRIPT Dr. Linda Duska: Hello, and welcome to the ASCO Daily News Podcast. I am your guest host, Dr. Linda Duska. I am a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. On today's episode, we will explore the management of advanced ovarian cancer, specifically with respect to a question that has really stirred some controversy over time, going all the way back more than 20 years: Should we be doing radical upfront surgery in advanced ovarian cancer, or should we be doing neoadjuvant chemotherapy? So, there was a lot of hype about the TRUST study, also called ENGOT ov33/AGO-OVAR OP7, a Phase 3 randomized study that compares upfront surgery with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval surgery. So, I want to talk about that study today. And joining me for the discussion is Dr. Kathleen Moore, a professor also of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Oklahoma and the deputy director of the Stephenson Cancer Center, also at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences. Dr. Moore, it is so great to be speaking with you today. Thanks for doing this. Dr. Kathleen Moore: Yeah, it's fun to be here. This is going to be fun. Dr. Linda Duska: FYI for our listeners, both of our full disclosures are available in the transcript of this episode. So let's just jump right in. We already alluded to the fact that the TRUST study addresses a question we have been grappling with in our field. Here's the thing, we have four prior randomized trials on this exact same topic. So, share with me why we needed another one and what maybe was different about this one? Dr. Kathleen Moore: That is, I think, the key question. So we have to level-set kind of our history. Let's start with, why is this even a question? Like, why are we even talking about this today? When we are taking care of a patient with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer, the aim of surgery in advanced ovarian cancer ideally is to prolong a patient's likelihood of disease-free survival, or if you want to use the term "remission," you can use the term "remission." And I think we can all agree that our objective is to improve overall survival in a way that also does not compromise her quality of life through surgical complications, which can have a big effect. The standard for many decades, certainly my entire career, which is now over 20 years, has been to pursue what we call primary cytoreductive surgery, meaning you get a diagnosis and we go right to the operating room with a goal of achieving what we call "no gross residual." That is very different – in the olden days, you would say "optimal" and get down to some predefined small amount of tumor. Now, the goal is you remove everything you can see. The alternative strategy to that is neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval cytoreductive surgery, and that has been the, quote-unquote, "safer" route because you chemically cytoreduce the cancer, and so, the resulting surgery, I will tell you, is not necessarily easy at all. It can still be very radical surgeries, but they tend to be less radical, less need for bowel resections, splenectomy, radical procedures, and in a short-term look, would be considered safer from a postoperative consideration. Dr. Linda Duska: Well, and also maybe more likely to be successful, right? Because there's less disease, maybe, theoretically. Dr. Kathleen Moore: More likely to be successful in getting to no gross residual. Dr. Linda Duska: Right. Yeah, exactly. Dr. Kathleen Moore: I agree with that. And so, so if the end game, regardless of timing, is you get to no gross residual and you help a patient and there's no difference in overall survival, then it's a no-brainer. We would not be having this conversation. But there remains a question around, while it may be more likely to get to no gross residual, it may be, and I think we can all agree, a less radical, safer surgery, do you lose survival in the long term by this approach? This has become an increasing concern because of the increase in rates of use of neoadjuvant, not only in this country, but abroad. And so, you mentioned the four prior studies. We will not be able to go through them completely. Dr. Linda Duska: Let's talk about the two modern ones, the two from 2020 because neither one of them showed a difference in overall survival, which I think we can agree is, at the end of the day, yes, PFS would be great, but OS is what we're looking for. Dr. Kathleen Moore: OS is definitely what we're looking for. I do think a marked improvement in PFS, like a real prolongation in disease-free survival, for me would be also enough. A modest improvement does not really cut it, but if you are really, really prolonging PFS, you should see that- Dr. Linda Duska: -manifest in OS. Dr. Kathleen Moore: Yeah, yeah. Okay. So let's talk about the two modern ones. The older ones are EORTC and CHORUS, which I think we've talked about. The two more modern ones are SCORPION and JCOG0602. So, SCORPION was interesting. SCORPION was a very small study, though. So one could say it's underpowered. 170 patients. And they looked at only patients that were incredibly high risk. So, they had to have a Fagotti score, I believe, of over 9, but they were not looking at just low volume disease. Like, those patients were not enrolled in SCORPION. It was patients where you really were questioning, "Should I go to the OR or should I do neoadjuvant? Like, what's the better thing?" It is easy when it's low volume. You're like, "We're going." These were the patients who were like, "Hm, you know, what should I do?" High volume. Patients were young, about 55. The criticism of the older studies, there are many criticisms, but one of them is that, the criticism that is lobbied is that they did not really try. Whatever surgery you got, they did not really try with median operative times of 180 minutes for primary cytoreduction, 120 for neoadjuvant. Like, you and I both know, if you're in a big primary debulking, you're there all day. It's 6 hours. Dr. Linda Duska: Right, and there was no quality control for those studies, either. Dr. Kathleen Moore: No quality control. So, SCORPION, they went 451-minute median for surgery. Like, they really went for it versus four hours and then 253 for the interval, 4 hours. They really went for it on both arms. Complete gross resection was achieved in 50% of the primary cytoreduced. So even though they went for it with these very long surgeries, they only got to the goal half the time. It was almost 80% in the interval group. So they were more successful there. And there was absolutely no difference in PFS or OS. They were right about 15 months PFS, right about 40 months OS. JCOG0602, of course, done in Japan, a big study, 300 patients, a little bit older population. Surprisingly more stage IV disease in this study than were in SCORPION. SCORPION did not have a lot of stage IV, despite being very bulky tumors. So a third of patients were stage IV. They also had relatively shorter operative times, I would say, 240 minutes for primary, 302 for interval. So still kind of short. Complete gross resection was not achieved very often. 30% of primary cytoreduction. That is not acceptable. Dr. Linda Duska: Well, so let's talk about TRUST. What was different about TRUST? Why was this an important study for us to see? Dr. Kathleen Moore: So the criticism of all of these, and I am not trying to throw shade at anyone, but the criticism of all of these is if you are putting surgery to the test, you are putting the surgeon to the test. And you are assuming that all surgeons are trained equally and are willing to do what it takes to get someone to no gross residual. Dr. Linda Duska: And are in a center that can support the post-op care for those patients. Dr. Kathleen Moore: Which can be ICU care, prolonged time. Absolutely. So when you just open these broadly, you're assuming everyone has the surgical skills and is comfortable doing that and has backup. Everybody has an ICU. Everyone has a blood bank, and you are willing to do that. And that assumption could be wrong. And so what TRUST said is, "Okay, we are only going to open this at centers that have shown they can achieve a certain level of primary cytoreduction to no gross residual disease." And so there was quality criteria. It was based on – it was mostly a European study – so ESGO criteria were used to only allow certified centers to participate. They had to have a surgical volume of over 36 cytoreductive surgeries per year. So you could not be a low volume surgeon. Your complete resection rates that were reported had to be greater than 50% in the upfront setting. I told you on the JCOG, it was 30%. Dr. Linda Duska: Right. So these were the best of the best. This was the best possible surgical situation you could put these patients in, right? Dr. Kathleen Moore: Absolutely. And you support all the things so you could mitigate postoperative complications as well. Dr. Linda Duska: So we are asking the question now again in the ideal situation, right? Dr. Kathleen Moore: Right. Dr. Linda Duska: Which, we can talk about, may or may not be generalizable to real life, but that's a separate issue because we certainly don't have those conditions everywhere where people get cared for with ovarian cancer. But how would you interpret the results of this study? Did it show us anything different? Dr. Kathleen Moore: I am going to say how we should interpret it and then what I am thinking about. It is a negative study. It was designed to show improvement in overall survival in these ideal settings in patients with FIGO stage IIIB and C, they excluded A, these low volume tumors that should absolutely be getting surgery. So FIGO stage IIIB and C and IVA and B that were fit enough to undergo radical surgery randomized to primary cytoreduction or neoadjuvant with interval, and were all given the correct chemo. Dr. Linda Duska: And they were allowed bevacizumab and PARP, also. They could have bevacizumab and PARP. Dr. Kathleen Moore: They were allowed bevacizumab and PARP. Not many of them got PARP, but it was distributed equally, so that would not be a confounder. And so that was important. Overall survival is the endpoint. It was a big study. You know, it was almost 600 patients. So appropriately powered. So let's look at what they reported. When they looked at the patients who were enrolled, this is a large study, almost 600 patients, 345 in the primary cytoreductive arm and 343 in the neoadjuvant arm. Complete resection in these patients was 70% in the primary cytoreductive arm and 85% in the neoadjuvant arm. So in both arms, it was very high. So your selection of site and surgeon worked. You got people to their optimal outcome. So that is very different than any other study that has been reported to date. But what we saw when we looked at overall survival was no statistical difference. The median was, and I know we do not like to talk about medians, but the median in the primary cytoreductive arm was 54 months versus 48 months in the neoadjuvant arm with a hazard ratio of 0.89 and, of course, the confidence interval crossed one. So this is not statistically significant. And that was the primary endpoint. Dr. Linda Duska: I know you are getting to this. They did look at PFS, and that was statistically significant, but to your point about what are we looking for for a reasonable PFS difference? It was about two months difference. When I think about this study, and I know you are coming to this, what I thought was most interesting about this trial, besides the fact that the OS, the primary endpoint was negative, was the subgroup analyses that they did. And, of course, these are hypothesis-generating only. But if you look at, for example, specifically only the stage III group, that group did seem to potentially, again, hypothesis generating, but they did seem to benefit from upfront surgery. And then one other thing that I want to touch on before we run out of time is, do we think it matters if the patient is BRCA germline positive? Do we think it matters if there is something in particular about that patient from a biomarker standpoint that is different? I am hopeful that more data will be coming out of this study that will help inform this. Of course, unpowered, hypothesis-generating only, but it's just really interesting. What do you think of their subset analysis? Dr. Kathleen Moore: Yeah, I think the subsets are what we are going to be talking about, but we have to emphasize that this was a negative trial as designed. Dr. Linda Duska: Absolutely. Yes. Dr. Kathleen Moore: So we cannot be apologists and be like, "But this or that." It was a negative trial as designed. Now, I am a human and a clinician, and I want what is best for my patients. So I am going to, like, go down the path of subset analyses. So if you look at the stage III tumors that got complete cytoreduction, which was 70% of the cases, your PFS was almost 28 months versus 21.8 months. Dr. Linda Duska: Yes, it becomes more significant. Dr. Kathleen Moore: Yeah, that hazard ratio is 0.69. Again, it is a subset. So even though the P value here is statistically significant, it actually should not have a P value because it is an exploratory analysis. So we have to be very careful. But the hazard ratio is 0.69. So the hypothesis is in this setting, if you're stage III and you go for it and you get someone to no gross residual versus an interval cytoreduction, you could potentially have a 31% reduction in the rate of progression for that patient who got primary cytoreduction. And you see a similar trend in the stage III patients, if you look at overall survival, although the post-progression survival is so long, it's a little bit narrow of a margin. But I do think there are some nuggets here that, one of our colleagues who is really one of the experts in surgical studies, Dr. Mario Leitao, posted this on X, and I think it really resonated after this because we were all saying, "But what about the subsets?" He is like, "It's a negative study." But at the end of the day, you are going to sit with your patient. The patient should be seen by a GYN oncologist or surgical oncologist with specialty in cytoreduction and a medical oncologist, you know, if that person does not give chemo, and the decision should be made about what to do for that individual patient in that setting. Dr. Linda Duska: Agreed. And along those lines, if you look carefully at their data, the patients who had an upfront cytoreduction had almost twice the risk of having a stoma than the patients who had an interval cytoreduction. And they also had a higher risk of needing to have a bowel resection. The numbers were small, but still, when you look at the surgical complications, as you've already said, they're higher in the upfront group than they are in the interval group. That needs to be taken into account as well when counseling a patient, right? When you have a patient in front of you who says to you, "Dr. Moore, you can take out whatever you want, but whatever you do, don't make me a bag." As long as the patient understands what that means and what they're asking us to do, I think that we need to think about that. Dr. Kathleen Moore: I think that is a great point. And I have definitely seen in our practice, patients who say, "I absolutely would not want an ostomy. It's a nonstarter for me." And we do make different decisions. And you have to just say, "That's the decision we've made," and you kind of move on, and you can't look back and say, "Well, I wish I would have, could have, should have done something else." That is what the patient wants. Ultimately, that patient, her family, autonomous beings, they need to be fully counseled, and you need to counsel that patient as to the site that you are in, her volume of disease, and what you think you can achieve. In my opinion, a patient with stage III cancer who you have the site and the capabilities to get to no gross residual should go to the OR first. That is what I believe. I do not anymore think that for stage IV. I think that this is pretty convincing to me that that is probably a harmful thing. However, I want you to react to this. I think I am going to be a little unpopular in saying this, but for me, one of the biggest take-homes from TRUST was that whether or not, and we can talk about the subsets and the stage III looked better, and I think it did, but both groups did really well. Like, really well. And these were patients with large volume disease. This was not cherry-picked small volume stage IIIs that you could have done an optimal just by doing a hysterectomy. You know, these were patients that needed radical surgery. And both did well. And so what it speaks to me is that anytime you are going to operate on someone with ovary, whether it be frontline, whether it be a primary or interval, you need a high-volume surgeon. That is what I think this means to me. Like, I would want high volume surgeon at a center that could do these surgeries, getting that patient, my family member, me, to no gross residual. That is important. And you and I are both in training centers. I think we ought to take a really strong look at, are we preparing people to do the surgeries that are necessary to get someone to no gross residual 70% and 85% of the time? Dr. Linda Duska: We are going to run out of time, but I want to address that and ask you a provocative question. So, I completely agree with what you said, that surgery is important. But I also think one of the reasons these patients in this study did so well is because all of the incredible new therapies that we have for patients. Because OS is not just about surgery. It is about surgery, but it is also about all of the amazing new therapies we have that you and others have helped us to get through clinical research. And so, how much of that do you think, like, for example, if you look at the PFS and OS rates from CHORUS and EORTC, I get it that they're, that they're not the same. It's different patients, different populations, can't do cross-trial comparisons. But the OS, as you said, in this study was 54 months and 48 months, which is, compared to 2010, we're doing much, much better. It is not just the surgery, it is also all the amazing treatment options we have for these patients, including PARP, including MIRV, including lots of other new therapies. How do you fit that into thinking about all of this? Dr. Kathleen Moore: I do think we are seeing, and we know this just from epidemiologic data that the prevalence of ovarian cancer in many of the countries where the study was done is increasing, despite a decrease in incidence. And why is that? Because people are living longer. Dr. Linda Duska: People are living longer, yeah. Dr. Kathleen Moore: Which is phenomenal. That is what we want. And we do have, I think, better supportive care now. PARP inhibitors in the frontline, which not many of these patients had. Now some of them, this is mainly in Europe, will have gotten them in the first maintenance setting, and I do think that impacts outcome. We do not have that data yet, you know, to kind of see what, I would be really interested to see. We do not do this well because in ovarian cancer, post-progression survival can be so long, we do not do well of tracking what people get when they come off a clinical trial to see how that could impact – you know, how many of them got another surgery? How many of them got a PARP? I think this group probably missed the ADC wave for the most part, because this, mirvetuximab is just very recently available in Europe. Dr. Linda Duska: Unless they were on trial. Dr. Kathleen Moore: Unless they were on trial. But I mean, I think we will have to see. 600 patients, I would bet a lot of them missed the ADC wave. So, I do not know that we can say we know what drove these phenomenal – these are some of the best curves we've seen outside of BRCA. And then coming back to your point about the BRCA population here, that is a really critical question that I do not know that we're ever going to answer. There have been hypotheses around a tumor that is driven by BRCA, if you surgically cytoreduced it, and then chemically cytoreduced it with chemo, and so you're starting PARP with nothing visible and likely still homogeneous clones. Is that the group we cured? And then if you give chemo first before surgery, it allows more rapid development of heterogeneity and more clonal evolution that those are patients who are less likely to be cured, even if they do get cytoreduced to nothing at interval with use of PARP inhibitor in the front line. That is a question that many have brought up as something we would like to understand better. Like, if you are BRCA, should you always just go for it or not? I do not know that we're ever going to really get to that. We are trying to look at some of the other studies and just see if you got neoadjuvant and you had BRCA, was anyone cured? I think that is a question on SOLO1 I would like to know the answer to, and I don't yet, that may help us get to that. But that's sort of something we do think about. You should have a fair number of them in TRUST. It wasn't a stratification factor, as I remember. Dr. Linda Duska: No, it wasn't. They stratified by center, age, and ECOG status Dr. Kathleen Moore: So you would hope with randomization that you would have an equal number in each arm. And they may be able to pull that out and do a very exploratory look. But I would be interested to see just completely hypothesis-generating what this looks like for the patients with BRCA, and I hope that they will present that. I know they're busy at work. They have translational work. They have a lot pending with TRUST. It's an incredibly rich resource that I think is going to teach us a lot, and I am excited to see what they do next. Dr. Linda Duska: So, outside of TRUST, we are out of time. I just want to give you a moment if there were any other messages that you want to share with our listeners before we wrap up. Dr. Kathleen Moore: It's an exciting time to be in GYN oncology. For so long, it was just chemo, and then the PARP inhibitors nudged us along quite a bit. We did move more patients, I believe, to the cure fraction. When we ultimately see OS, I think we'll be able to say that definitively, and that is exciting. But, you know, that is the minority of our patients. And while HRD positive benefits tremendously from PARP, I am not as sure we've moved as many to the cure fraction. Time will tell. But 50% of our patients have these tumors that are less HRD. They have a worse prognosis. I think we can say that and recur more quickly. And so the advent of these antibody-drug conjugates, and we could name 20 of them in development in GYN right now, targeting tumor-associated antigens because we're not really driven by mutations other than BRCA. We do not have a lot of things to come after. We're not lung cancer. We are not breast cancer. But we do have a lot of proteins on the surface of our cancers, and we are finally able to leverage that with some very active regimens. And we're in the early phases, I would say, of really understanding how best to use those, how best to position them, and which one to select for whom in a setting where there is going to be obvious overlap of the targets. So we're going to be really working this problem. It is a good problem. A lot of drugs that work pretty well. How do you individualize for a patient, the patient in front of you with three different markers? How do you optimize it? Where do you put them to really prolong survival? And then we finally have cell surface. We saw at ASCO, CDK2 come into play here for the first time, we've got a cell cycle inhibitor. We've been working on WEE1 and ATR for a long time. CDK2s may hit. Response rates were respectable in a resistant population that was cyclin E overexpressing. We've been working on that biomarker for a long time with a toxicity profile that was surprisingly clean, which I like to see for our patients. So that is a different platform. I think we have got bispecifics on the rise. So there is a pipeline of things behind the ADCs, which is important because we need more than one thing, that makes me feel like in the future, I am probably not going to be using doxil ever for platinum-resistant disease. So, I am going to be excited to retire some of those things. We will say, "Remember when we used to use doxil for platinum-resistant disease?" Dr. Linda Duska: I will be retired by then, but thanks for that thought. Dr. Kathleen Moore: I will remind you. Dr. Linda Duska: You are right. It is such an incredibly exciting time to be taking care of ovarian cancer patients with all the opportunities. And I want to thank you for sharing your valuable insights with us on this podcast today and for your great work to advance care for patients with GYN cancers. Dr. Kathleen Moore: Likewise.
