Staff retention is one of the biggest conversations happening across the hair and beauty industry right now. In this Mini Moment, the girls sit down with Abbe from Koko Cosmetica to unpack what actually keeps great team members in your business and why it's rarely about perks or pay rises.Instead, it comes down to something much more human: creating a safe, supportive environment where your team feels respected, heard and able to live their lives outside of work. Because the truth is, your team aren't just employees, they're people building their own lives alongside your business.We talk about the small leadership habits that build loyalty over time, from respecting personal boundaries to paying people properly, and why often the biggest shifts start with looking at ourselves as leaders first.What we cover:Why creating a safe work environment matters mostLetting staff live their lives outside workSupporting sick leave and personal time properlyWhy leadership self awareness is essentialThe importance of paying staff correctly and on timeWhy consistency builds trust within your teamA great team culture isn't built in big gestures. It's built in the small, everyday ways you show your people they matter.Mentioned in this episode:

Send a textA child who misses a quarter of classroom words isn't daydreaming—they're falling through a gap we can close. We dive into World Hearing Day with a focus on kids, where hearing care intersects with brain development, language growth, and classroom success. From missed fricatives to fragile confidence, we trace how small losses cascade into academic and social struggles, and why bringing services to schools and community hubs changes everything.We unpack two imperatives that drive real progress. First, prevent what's preventable: treat middle ear infections quickly, teach safe listening before earbuds become a habit, watch for ototoxic risks, and stop pushing wax deeper. Second, identify early when prevention falls short. Timely school screenings, tight referral pathways, and affordable evaluations protect the brain's language window and keep kids from being mislabeled as distracted or defiant when they're actually fighting to hear. Screening without follow-up is just noise; systems turn awareness into outcomes.You'll hear practical steps for families to normalize annual hearing tests, not just basic school screens, and for educators to advocate for consistent district protocols and follow up on every referral. For clinicians, manufacturers, and policymakers, we outline how community partnerships, school-based initiatives, and scalable access solutions expand reach and reduce inequity. Throughout, we return to a core truth: we don't hear with our ears; we hear with our brain. When hearing care reaches communities and classrooms, it fuels literacy, confidence, and a sense of belonging.If this message resonates, help us carry it forward.

If you want anywhere near a business, it's hard. There is no secret club. No magic strategy. No shortcut that only a few people know about. In this episode, the straight talking and unapologetically honest Sam Mangan joins us for an unfiltered, no fluff conversation about what it actually takes to build something meaningful and why so many people are chasing the wrong things.We unpack the myth of instant success and the obsession with access. Meeting the CEO will not save you. A viral moment will not build your foundation. Success is built in relationships, in uncomfortable conversations, in asking better questions, and in choosing to do the hard thing when no one is watching.This episode is a reality check and a reminder. Every business is a dumpster fire behind the scenes. Every operator is putting out fires daily. If you feel like you're struggling, you're not alone. Everyone is in a lifeboat. The difference is not who avoids the hard. It's who chooses it.What We CoverWhy “it's hard” is not a strategyThe myth of the secret formula for successWhy networking is about people, not business cardsThe truth about instant gratification and social media successWhy extraordinary outcomes require extraordinary effortHow to ask better questions in businessWhy ideas are worthless without executionThe importance of relationships at every levelTimestamps00:00 – Episode Summary02:29 – The real reason Sam quit04:18 – Being blunt but still kind05:34 – Sam's honest Bond panel rant08:38 – The rise of free content10:37 – The danger of delusional ambition11:27 – The fake influencer illusion13:58 – The hard work reality check14:59 – Raising kids around money18:04 – Questioning self help culture22:19 – How to spot fake coaches23:12 – The questions real consultants ask31:20 – Networking to find real answers36:52 – Why gatekeepers deserve respect38:27 – Putting relationships before transactions39:23 – When kindness genuinely pays off40:03 – The unexpected Celine Dion story44:35 – Dating app filters and authenticity45:42 – Coffee shop loyalty lessons48:31 – Why change starts today49:21 – Lessons from the Aspire podcast53:13 – Ideas are nothing without execution55:33 – How Sam built his business57:47 – Why networking takes practice01:00:28 – The ego free celebrity insight01:02:25 – Coming back to home base values01:11:33 – The truth that failure is universal01:13:18 – Final reflections and wrap upMentioned in this episode:https://www.salonrising.com

Summary: In this conversation, Dr. Rick Parent discusses the complexities surrounding police use of force, the role of civilian oversight, and the importance of clear communication in maintaining public trust. He emphasizes the need for context and perspective in understanding police actions, the dangers faced by officers, and the significance of de-escalation techniques. The discussion also highlights the impact of mental health on policing and the necessity for a national approach to civilian oversight to improve accountability and public safety.Takeaways:• The most dangerous moment for a police officer is often routine calls.• Civilian oversight can either strengthen or undermine public trust.• There are several ways in which civilian oversight agencies need to improve their practices to help enhance public confidence.• Canadian police are reluctant users of deadly force compared to the U.S.• Clear communication is essential for public understanding of police actions.• Context is crucial in evaluating police use of force incidents.• The media often vilifies police without understanding the full story.• Timely responses from oversight agencies are critical for public trust.• Policing is an unpredictable and dangerous occupation.• De-escalation techniques are vital but should not compromise officer safety.• Mental health issues significantly impact police interactions with the public.

Ashley Herd, former Head of HR North America at McKinsey, joins this episode to discuss what effective leadership looks like in practice, especially in environments defined by speed, pressure, and increasing expectations around AI. Drawing on her experience training more than 250,000 managers, she introduces a simple but rigorous framework: pause, consider, act. In fast-moving organizations, leaders often default to speed over reflection. Herd argues that the brief pause before responding to a mistake, delivering feedback, or making a decision materially changes outcomes. It allows leaders to ask: What result am I trying to achieve? How would I want to be treated in this situation? What will the ripple effect of this action be? Several practical insights stand out: First, performance feedback remains one of the most persistent leadership failures. The issue is not usually saying the wrong thing, but saying nothing at all. Delayed or avoided feedback creates confusion, resentment, and surprises in annual reviews. Timely, specific recognition is equally important; a simple acknowledgment can shape engagement far beyond the moment. Second, leadership style often oscillates between two extremes. Herd describes "tight jeans" leadership as micromanagement that restricts autonomy, and "oversized sweatpants" leadership as excessive hands-off behavior that leaves teams without direction. The effective middle ground is structured autonomy: clear expectations combined with room to operate. Third, leaders underestimate the degree to which they influence their teams' well-being. Research shows a manager's effect on employee health rivals that of a spouse. Everyday behaviors whether following up, acknowledging effort, or setting realistic expectations, have consequences that extend beyond the workplace. Fourth, organizations face a growing gap between executive narratives about AI and what teams are actually doing. Leaders often declare proficiency while employees experiment quietly, sometimes without clarity on what is expected, allowed, or rewarded. Clear standards around AI usage, what good looks like, what is permitted, and how it will be evaluated, are now a management responsibility, not a technical one. Finally, Herd emphasizes upstream problem solving. Instead of repeatedly "cleaning up" issues after they escalate, leaders should invest in conversations, manager training, and clear norms that prevent recurring failures. This requires time, but it reduces long-term friction. For senior leaders, the message is direct: results and humanity are not opposing goals. Deliberate communication, consistent one-on-ones, and realistic workload expectations are operational disciplines, not soft considerations. For managers at any level, the framework is simple but demanding. Pause before reacting, consider the broader impact, then act with clarity.

The International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 formally established the promotion of religious freedom as a U.S. foreign policy and national security priority. Tracing its origins and passage, Prioritizing Faith: International Religious Freedom and U.S. Foreign Policy (NYU Press, 2025) by Dr. Ashlyn Hand shows how the legislation was made possible by the convergence of growing evangelical and Jewish advocacy, the expanding international human rights movement, and a broader search for post–Cold War purpose. Yet implementation across administrations has been uneven, shaped by shifting geopolitical dynamics and internal institutional constraints.Relying on expert interviews and rich archival analysis, Dr. Hand traces how Clinton, Bush, and Obama each wove international religious freedom into their foreign policy visions while navigating competing priorities and evolving strategic interests. Through case studies in China, Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia, Dr. Hand reveals the inner workings and persistent challenges of American religious freedom policy on the global stage.Timely, insightful, and deeply researched, Prioritizing Faith offers an incisive assessment of the United States' efforts to promote religious freedom abroad, highlighting the enduring tensions between normative aspirations and the complexities of foreign policy practice.

Catastrophic fires are becoming more and more common across California. After-action reports about the fires and other disasters can help officials prevent past mistakes. But the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, or CalOES, has failed to deliver legally mandated reports on time following disasters for years. LAist Science Reporter Jacob Margolis looks at why the agency is so far behind, whether anyone is being held accountable and the worrying consequences for all Californians when we can’t learn from past emergencies until years later.

Hi Bakers, Should you make your own seeded crackers, or is it a waste of time? I get so mad eating expensive and tasteless gluten-free crackers, so I decided to try making them myself…but was it worth it??I would 100% make these again; my only complaint is that I wanted them to be crisper. I loved the simple way they came together and the healthful ingredients in them. The pumpkin and pumpkin spice with seeds and dried cranberries were festive and delicious. These crackers are a beautiful gluten-free addition to any winter table. Thinking of trying them? Here are my thoughts to help you decide. PS: After writing this, I'm heading downstairs to make another batch right now! Enjoy! CarolynPros:prettytaste goodeasy to makefree of gluten, dairy, egg, grainsfull of fiber and nutritiousCons:long bake time (more like drying)not as crisp as I hopedGluten-Free Pumpkin Cranberry Holiday Seed CrackersModified from Tasty, Thrifty, Timely's Recipe for Seeded CrackersMakes two 10” x 15” sheets of crackers (to be broken apart)Dry Ingredients1/4 cup blanched almond flour1/2 cup golden flax seeds, ground1/4 cup black chia seeds1/3 cup raw shelled pumpkin seeds1/3 cup finely chopped dried cranberries1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice1/8 teaspoon saltWet Ingredients3/4 cup water1/4 cup pumpkin puree1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrupPreheat the oven to 275F. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside. Mix wet ingredients in a small bowl. Pour wet ingredients over the dry and mix thoroughly, making sure there are no dry spots. You may need to scrape the bowl with a spatula to get everything combined. Smooth the surface of the dough and let it hydrate for 15 minutes. Divide the dough in half and spread it onto a sheet of parchment paper. Make the dough into a flat rectangle as thin as possible. I like to cover the dough with another sheet of parchment** and roll it out. Remove the top sheet of parchment and smooth the top of the dough if needed. Sprinkle with salt if desired. Bake for about 2o minutes and then rotate the pans in the oven. Continue cooking for another 20 minutes or until the crackers are browned at the edges and dry to the touch. Cool in the oven to dry them out even more. Break cooled crackers into pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Want to try the dip I made too? Easy Hot Honey Dip: Take a block of whipped and softened cream cheese (or dairy-free) and top it with 1 tablespoon of Trader Joe's Chili Onion Crunch (or other chili oil) mixed with 3 tablespoons of honey. Garnish with some cranberries, rosemary, and a bunch of your seeded crackers too.**Parchment paper is essential; without it, the dough sticks to the rolling pin and is hard to get thin enough to crisp.

Intention is generally viewed as a pit-bull kind of determination, propelling one to succeed at all costs by never giving up on an inner picture. In this view, an attitude that combines hard work with an indefatigable drive toward excellence is the way to succeed. Dr. Dyer views intention differently and explains it as a force in the universe, and everything and everyone is connected to this invisible force that allows the act of creation to take place.One of Larry's favorite books is The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne Dyer. Listen as he shares some thoughts from this book. (The Power of Intention by Wayne W. Dyer was published by Hay House is available from most book sellers.)Support the show
