Text your thoughts and questions!Do you ever wonder what tools are actually behind a productivity coach's own systems? Last week Lisa walked through the seven techniques she uses daily to keep her life and business running. This week, she's going deeper into the tech stack—the actual tools—behind those techniques. But this isn't a "best tools" list. It's Lisa's preferred tools list: the ones she's chosen, stuck with, adapted, or swapped out over time.In this episode, Lisa shares her personal tech stack, from the analog-meets-digital RocketBook for note-taking, to Todoist for fast, low-friction task capture, to the Google Suite that touches nearly every other tool on her list. She covers how Calendly eliminates scheduling back-and-forth, why Trello still fits her brain for visual project tracking (podcast guest pipelines and even recipe organization), and how ClickUp supports her podcast production workflow with her team. She also talks through Kit (formerly ConvertKit) for email automation and e-commerce, Canva for design and training recordings, and Riverside for high-quality remote podcast recording. Lisa closes with a few honorable mentions—WordPress/Divi, Voxer and WhatsApp for async coaching, and built-in social media schedulers—and reinforces the guiding principle behind every choice: process over platform. She figured out what she needed each tool to do for her before she ever committed to it, and that's the mindset she wants listeners to carry into their own tool decisions.Key Takeaways:Discover why "process over platform" should guide every tech tool decision, not the other way around.Learn how RocketBook bridges analog note-taking with digital storage for easy reference and sharing.Explore why Todoist's simplicity and low friction make it ideal for fast task capture and recurring tasks.Understand how Google Calendar, Drive, and Docs form the backbone of scheduling, storage, and writing workflows.Learn how Calendly integrates with Google Calendar to eliminate scheduling confusion and automate confirmations and reminders.Discover how Trello's Kanban-style boards support both project tracking (podcast guest spots) and personal organization (recipes).Explore why sometimes the best tool is the one your collaborators already use, like ClickUp for podcast production.Learn how Kit consolidated email automation and e-commerce into one streamlined platform.Discover how Canva simplifies design work and even supports recorded training presentations.Understand why Riverside's local recording ensures clean, reliable podcast audio and video quality.Explore honorable mentions like WordPress/Divi, Voxer/WhatsApp, and built-in social media schedulers.Learn why switching tools should only happen when it's genuinely worth the time and cost.Thank you for listening!

One month shy of five years. That is how long Big Trees MD ran on the electronic health record it opened with, and this month, that ended. Not because Dr. Maryal Concepcion went looking for something shinier, but because the terms under which her patients' data lived changed, and she could not accept them.In this solo episode, Dr. Concepcion documents the switch in real time from her rural Direct Primary Care practice in Arnold, California, which she owns with her husband, Dr. Jeremiah Fillo, and runs with a fully virtual team. No vendor names, on purpose. The names change. The framework does not.Built from The Toolkit's Battle of the EHRs issue, where over 200 DPC EHR users shared what they use and why, this episode walks through how to choose an electronic health record that grows with your practice instead of boxing you in:Why an EHR is the memory of your practice, and why the DPC version of this decision is nothing like the fee-for-service versionThe 10 categories to score every EHR on, from membership billing and charting speed to support quality and scalabilityThe 5 questions to ask before you switch, starting with "what problem am I really trying to solve?"How to run a demo on your terms: build a fake patient, count clicks out loud, ask about migration before features, and ask the question nobody asks, which is "how do I leave you?"Why you should research who owns the EHR company, especially as private equity and venture capital creep into Direct Primary CareRunning the real math: subscription, add-ons, switching costs, and exit costs over a three year horizon, plus what an hour of your life is actually worthThe hidden costs no spreadsheet captures: patient trust, the emotional weight of change, and the 90 day post-switch reality checkThings have changed since the Summer 2025 issue published, and the second Battle of the EHRs opens for voting in Q1.

What kinds of concerns are reported to the College, and what can nurses learn from them?In this episode of The College Connection Podcast, hosts Kelly Kean and Wanda Squires sit down with Brenda Carroll, Director of Professional Conduct Review, to discuss some of the more common allegations and complaints received by the NL College of Nurses.The conversation explores recurring areas of concern, what these complaints can tell us about professional expectations, and how nurses can use these lessons to support safe, ethical and accountable practice.It's a practical look at professional conduct—not just what can go wrong, but what nurses can learn from the concerns that come before the College.The NL College of Nurses offers a Toolkit for Resolving Professional Practice Issues here: https://nlcn.ca/standards-and-practice/practice-resources/toolkit-for-resolving-professional-practice-issues/ Hosted on Acast.

Support the show on PatreonIn this third episode, we give you a practical manual to take control of your fermentations and improve your farm's profitability. We start with the basics — what is actually happening inside your tank, where the microbes come from, and why your coffee is going to ferment whether you want it to or not. Then we go through five ways commercial microbes can make you money: consistency batch to batch, long fermentations you can run safely, lifting the score of your worst cherries rather than your best, clearing bottlenecks in your wet mill, and extending your coffee's shelf life. We cover what a well-run fermentation actually looks like — the cleaning, the monitoring, the record-keeping — with a step-by-step blue-barrel protocol for smaller farms and guidance on when to move to tanks. We also look at the investment sums needed for commercial yeasts and how to justify them. And we finish with the difficult questions — the environmental worries, whether using a starter culture is the same as adulterating your coffee, and how to talk about all of this with buyers who may view commercial microbes with suspicion.Related podcast episodes:Lucia: #72: Planning Your First Coffee Fermentation Trials?

In part 5 of our Back to Basics series, we explore reactive regulation, a powerful approach to managing your nervous system in moments of anxiety, overwhelm, or shutdown. Learn how to use your body's natural stress responses to create a personalized toolkit for finding more calm and intentionality amidst life's challenges.3 Takeaways:Reactive Resourcing: Reactive regulation is like a first-aid kit for your nervous system – a set of tools that provide temporary safety cues to help you bridge the gap between stress and regulation in moments of dysregulation.Meet Your System: The principle of “meeting your nervous system where it is” and “tool layering” is essential – rather than forcing calm when activated or high energy when shut down, acknowledge your current state first and then incrementally guide yourself toward regulation.Proactive Practice: Proactively practicing your reactive regulation tools in low-stress situations makes them more accessible and effective when you're facing bigger challenges.CLICK HERE for the full show notes, resources, and 3 tangible takeaways! *click here to view the impala video I referenced in the episode—Ps.

Text your thoughts and questions!Do you ever feel like your days are filled with tasks, but you still struggle to decide what to work on first? Maybe every morning starts with a long to-do list, constant interruptions, and the exhausting mental effort of figuring out what deserves your attention next.The problem isn't always that you have too much to do. Often, it's that your work lacks a clear rhythm. Without a reliable structure, every decision requires energy, context switching drains your focus, and it's easy to fall into reactive mode instead of making intentional progress.In this episode, Lisa revisits one of the podcast's most popular productivity coaching sessions and explores how creating a schedule inspired by the familiar rhythm of a school day can help you reclaim focus and reduce decision fatigue. Drawing from her coaching conversations with Lauren Yee, she explains how assigning recurring "subjects" or themed focus blocks to your week creates a flexible framework that supports deeper work without becoming rigid or restrictive.You'll learn why school-style time blocking works so well for many people, how playful and personalized labels can make your schedule more engaging, and why transition periods between activities are just as important as the work itself. Lisa also shares practical tips for adapting this approach to different lifestyles, including entrepreneurs, caregivers, people with unpredictable schedules, and neurodivergent brains.This week, episode 327 of the Positively Living® Podcast explores how using a school-inspired approach to time blocking can reduce decision fatigue, improve focus, and help you build a schedule that feels both structured and sustainable.Key Takeaways:Discover how a school-day framework can simplify your weekly schedule.Learn why recurring themed time blocks reduce daily decision fatigue.Understand how context switching impacts your focus and productivity.Explore why batching similar work together helps your brain work more efficiently.Learn how assigning "subjects" to your week creates clarity without rigidity.Discover why playful labels can make your schedule more engaging.Understand how naming your work intentionally helps you connect with its purpose.Learn why transition periods between tasks are essential for maintaining focus.Discover how "passing periods" can reduce overwhelm and prevent burnout.Explore the difference between working in your business versus working on your business.Learn why your schedule should be built around your real life—not your ideal one.Understand how flexible time blocking can support unpredictable schedules.Discover why reviewing and adjusting your schedule is part of the process—not a sign of failure.Learn how curiosity and experimentation create more sustainable productivity systems.Explore why this approach works especially well for people who crave structure but resist rigidity.Discover how themed scheduling can benefit neurodivergent brains by adding novelty and engagement.Learn how to identify the five to seven major categories of work in your week.Understand why you don't need to schedule every hour to experience the benefits of time blocking.Discover how starting with one themed day each week can make the process feel more approachable.Learn why creating a schedule with rhythm, variety, and flexibility leads to greater consistency and less overwhelm.Thank you for listening!

Text your thoughts and questions!Do you ever have a routine that looks great on paper but somehow feels disconnected, mechanical, or difficult to stick with? Maybe you have the right systems in place, but you're moving through them like a checklist instead of feeling genuinely engaged with what you're doing.The structure of your routine matters, but structure alone isn't always enough to create lasting change. When your habits start to feel hollow or you're struggling to stay consistent, the missing piece may not be more discipline or a better system—it may be meaning. The way you experience what you're doing can make all the difference.In this episode, Lisa explores the powerful difference between routines and rituals and why you need both to create habits and systems that actually work for you. She explains how routines provide the structure and consistency needed to build habits, while rituals add intention, meaning, and personal connection to the things you're already doing. You'll hear how small sensory cues, intentional transitions, and meaningful details can transform an ordinary routine into something you genuinely want to return to.Lisa also shares a real-life example of helping a client create a writing ritual, along with the personal rituals she uses for journaling and recording the podcast. You'll discover how to build rituals into routines you already have without adding unnecessary complexity, spending money, or starting over. The goal isn't to create a perfect ritual—it's to make what you're already doing feel more intentional, personal, and sustainable.This week, episode 326 of the Positively Living® Podcast explores the difference between rituals and routines and shares how adding meaning, mindfulness, and personalized cues to your existing habits can help you create systems that feel more like you.Key Takeaways:Learn the difference between a routine and a ritual and why both are important for sustainable habits.Discover how routines create structure, reduce decision fatigue, and build consistency.Understand how rituals add meaning and intention to the actions you're already taking.Recognize the signs that you may have routines without enough ritual—or meaningful intentions without enough structure.Learn why you don't need to create an entirely new practice to build a ritual.Discover how sensory cues like music, scent, lighting, and favorite tools can signal to your brain that it's time to shift into a particular activity.Explore how a writing ritual helped one of Lisa's clients transition from a busy workday into focused creative time.Learn how intentional transitions can help your brain recognize that you're moving from one type of work into another.Discover how Lisa uses a personalized ritual to make her monthly journaling practice more meaningful.Understand why rituals help you move from automatic to aware and from pushing through to being present.Learn how to identify one existing routine that could benefit from more meaning and intention.Discover how to use a brief intention to connect what you're doing with why it matters to you.Understand why your ritual should remain simple enough to survive busy and overwhelming seasons.Learn how your favorite tools and supplies can make an existing routine more enjoyable and personal without requiring a shopping spree.Explore how functionality, sustainability, and personal preference can all become part of a meaningful ritual.Discover how visual cues can help you transition between different types of work.Learn why the experience of doing something matters just as much as the steps required to accomplish it.Explore how small, intentional details can make your productivity systems feel more personalized and sustainable.Understand why routines help you get where you want to go, but rituals are what make those routines yours.Thank you for listening!

What if the biggest challenge facing therapists isn't burnout… but evolution? In this special bonus episode, Sarah shares her keynote from the inaugural Revolutionary Practice Summit, exploring why therapists must evolve—not just professionally, but personally—to meet the realities of practicing in today's world. Drawing from trauma theory, developmental psychology, leadership research, systems thinking, and her own experience as a therapist and group practice owner, Sarah offers a compelling vision for the future of psychotherapy. Rather than asking therapists to simply become more resilient, she invites us to expand our capacity for complexity, uncertainty, and collective care. In this keynote, Sarah explores: Why therapists must do their own work The hidden cost of pathological empathy Why self-care alone isn't enough Organizational trauma and unhealthy workplace cultures Vertical development and therapist maturity The "meta-crisis" shaping mental health today Power, leadership, and the future of psychotherapy Why healing must happen at the individual, organizational, and systemic levels Whether you're a therapist, supervisor, practice owner, social worker, or graduate student, this keynote is an invitation to imagine what our profession could become—and the role each of us plays in creating it.

What if budgeting wasn't about restriction, but about giving every dollar a purpose? This week, Roger sits down with Jesse Mecham, founder of YNAB (You Need A Budget), to discuss the power of intentionality with money. Together, they explore how asking one simple question, "What is this money for?" can reduce financial stress, improve decision-making, and help align your spending with the life you want to create. Roger also answers listener questions on rebalancing retirement portfolios, qualified dividends, supporting adult children, calculating net worth, and whether financial planners have financial planners of their own.OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE OF THE RETIREMENT ANSWER MAN(00:00) Roger introduces this week's conversation on intentionality with money, previews his interview with Jesse Mecham, and shares updates on the August replay schedule and upcoming Social Security series.RETIREMENT TOOLKIT FEATURING JESSE MECHAM(03:06) Roger sits down with Jesse Mecham, founder of YNAB, to discuss how approaching money with intention instead of restriction can reduce financial worry and help you align your spending with what matters most. LISTENER QUESTIONS(38:47) Christine asks about rebalancing her retirement portfolio.(43:00) Peter asks about qualified and ordinary dividends.(47:28) Paul asks about supporting adult children financially.(56:05) Ron asks whether future taxes should be considered when calculating net worth (58:38) Lisa wonders whether financial planners have financial planners of their own.SMART SPRINT(01:01:55) Reflect on how intentional you are with your money and consider reading Jesse Mecham's book, Never Worry About Money Again, to help align your spending with the life you want to create.CLOSING THOUGHT(01:03:23) Roger reflects on the summer goals he set earlier in the year and encourages you to revisit your own intentions before the season ends. REFERENCESNever Worry About Money Again by Jesse MechamYNAB (You Need A Budget)Submit a Question for RogerSign up for The NoodleNote: The opinions expressed are for informational purposes only and should not replace personalized advice from licensed professionals.

"Trauma" has become a controversial word in the current culture wars. It's a point of pride for some, an excuse for others. But trauma is undoubtedly real, and it effects the body. Dr. Christy Gibson, author of The Modern Trauma Toolkit, has studied the neurophysiological effects of trauma and how we can alter the body's reflexive responses to find post-traumatic growth.

What can you actually do to support gallbladder health—before or after gallbladder removal?In Part 3 of our Gallbladder Series, we move from theory into practice. After exploring the relationship between the gallbladder, microbiome, hormones, and bile acids in Parts 1 and 2, we discuss the clinical tools, supplements, dietary strategies, and testing considerations we use to support patients with gallbladder dysfunction, bile acid disorders, and post-cholecystectomy symptoms. We explore why some patients continue to struggle with digestive symptoms long after gallbladder removal, how hormone fluctuations impact bile flow, and why supporting the microbiome may be one of the most overlooked pieces of gallbladder care.Whether you're dealing with gallstones, bile acid diarrhea, digestive symptoms after surgery, or simply want to better understand how to support healthy bile flow, this episode is packed with practical takeaways.✔ Conventional approaches to gallbladder disease and gallbladder removal✔ Why removing the gallbladder doesn't always solve the entire problem✔ The long-term microbiome consequences of cholecystectomy✔ The connection between gallbladder function, metabolism, and insulin resistance✔ Taurine and glycine for bile acid conjugation and bile production✔ Bitter herbs and how they support bile flow and gallbladder function✔ Dandelion, gentian, chicory, and other classic digestive bitters✔ Phosphatidylcholine, lecithin, and cholesterol balance within bile✔ Choline supplementation and gallbladder support✔ Magnesium and gallbladder motility✔ Ox bile, TUDCA, UDCA, and digestive enzyme support✔ Psyllium fiber and bile acid regulation✔ Butyrate and microbiome support after gallbladder removal✔ The estrogen–microbiome–gallbladder connection✔ DIM and calcium-d-glucarate for estrogen metabolism✔ NAC, milk thistle, and liver support✔ Hormone replacement therapy considerations in patients with gallbladder disease✔ Functional testing options for patients with gallbladder concerns✔ How these concepts have changed our clinical approach to patient care✔ Gallbladder removal may be necessary, but it should also prompt a deeper look at why gallbladder dysfunction developed in the first place.✔ Taurine, glycine, bitters, magnesium, and phosphatidylcholine can all play important roles in supporting bile production and flow.✔ The microbiome is central to bile acid metabolism and should be considered in patients with ongoing digestive symptoms.✔ DIM and calcium-d-glucarate may help support healthy estrogen metabolism and reduce gallbladder stress in susceptible individuals.✔ Post-cholecystectomy patients may benefit from additional support for digestion, microbiome balance, fat-soluble vitamins, and bile acid regulation.✔ Hormones, bile acids, the liver, and the microbiome are deeply interconnected systems that influence one another in meaningful ways.Part 1: Gallbladder Physiology, Bile Acids & The MicrobiomePart 2: The Estrogen–Gallbladder Connection: Hormones, Menopause & Bile AcidsPart 3: Practical Strategies for Supporting Gallbladder Health Before and After SurgeryMusic provided by Blue Dot.

What do you do when life doesn't go according to plan? In this deeply personal episode of I Dare You, I sit down with my daughter, Hannah Johnson — the first-ever third-time guest on the podcast — for an honest conversation about starting over after painful change.

It's raw, real, and full of hard-earned wisdom for anyone navigating a reset they didn't ask for. If you're walking through change — or know someone who is — this episode is a reminder that your story is not over, and starting over may be one of the bravest things you ever do.

Text your thoughts and questions!Do you ever tell yourself you'll rest after you finish everything on your to-do list—only to discover the list never actually ends? Or find yourself feeling guilty the moment you slow down, convinced you haven't earned a break yet?Many of us understand that rest is important, but knowing we need it and actually making space for it are two very different things. Productivity culture has taught us to see rest as a reward instead of a requirement, leaving us exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering why we're still running on empty.In this episode, Lisa explores the biggest barriers that keep us from getting the rest we truly need and shares practical strategies for making rest part of everyday life. Building on last week's conversation with Gary Ware, she explains why rest isn't something you have to earn, how to identify the types of rest that genuinely restore you, and simple ways to weave meaningful breaks into even the busiest schedule. You'll discover that sustainable productivity begins with rest—not after it.This week, episode 324 of the Positively Living® Podcast explores how to find time to rest and shares practical strategies for making restorative rest a realistic part of your daily life.Key Takeaways:Understand why rest is a necessity—not a reward you have to earn.Recognize the mindset shifts that make prioritizing rest feel so difficult.Learn why productivity actually depends on consistent, restorative rest.Discover why rest looks different for everyone and how to identify what truly restores you.Explore how your Joy List can help you reconnect with activities that energize you.Learn to notice which activities leave you feeling refreshed versus more depleted.Understand Gary Ware's Macro, Micro, and Mezzo Rest framework and how to apply it.Discover simple ways to improve the quality of your sleep through better sleep hygiene.Learn how a consistent wind-down routine prepares your nervous system for deeper rest.Explore practical five-minute micro breaks that actually help you recharge.Understand why scrolling or checking email doesn't count as true rest.Learn how transition rituals between tasks reduce stress and improve focus.Discover how "When-Then" habit triggers make restorative breaks easier to maintain.Learn why scheduling larger blocks of restorative time requires intentional planning.Recognize how starting with one small, consistent change creates lasting habits around rest.Thank you for listening!

What does it actually take to build a better life? In The 12 Levers, Spencer Greenberg and Jeremy Stevenson argue that the sprawling world of self-help can be boiled down to a dozen core strategies for change. And in The Good Life, Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz share the central lesson from the world's longest scientific study of happiness.

You left corporate for specific reasons.You want autonomy. Control over your time. Work that feels meaningful and is lucrative. A business that runs on your terms, not someone else's.Here's what happens instead for a lot of independent consultants: the business gets built one micro-decision at a time. You take the client that isn't quite right because it's in hand. You agree to the schedule compromise because the engagement is clear. You keep doing the execution work because that's what comes in. And then one day you look up and realize the business you've built doesn't look much like the business you intended.In Episode 280, Melisa Liberman addresses this directly. She opens with three real consultant scenarios: one who always wanted a boutique firm but is currently exhausted from solo travel and project work, one who wants to flip her revenue model from mostly self-delivered to mostly team-delivered and doesn't know how to adjust the plane while it's flying, and one who is successful on paper but landing staff augmentation work when what she wanted was strategic advisory.None of them built the wrong business on purpose. They built it through a series of invisible trade-offs that seemed small at the time.Melisa walks through two anchor questions every independent consultant should be able to answer, then a five-step process for getting clear on the business you actually want and starting to build toward it deliberately.If you've ever looked at your calendar and thought, "How did I get here? This business isn't what I meant to build," this episode is where to start.Timestamps for Key Moments:[00:00] The question behind this episode: are you building the business you actually want?[00:03] Agenda overview[00:07] Companion resource: Grow Your Consulting Business book at melisabook.com[00:09] Two anchor questions: why did you leave corporate, and why haven't you gone back?[00:13] What actually happens: micro-decisions and invisible trade-offs[00:18] What does success actually look like for you?[00:20] Start from everything possible, not what feels realistic[00:23] The five steps to build the business you actually want[00:28] Put this episode into actionResources Mentioned:Companion Resource: Grow Your Consulting Business Book and Toolkit.

How do you know when it's worth optimizing your retirement plan and when it's better to keep things simple? This week, Roger answers a listener question by exploring Aristotle's concept of the "golden mean," arguing that the best retirement decisions are rarely found at either extreme. He explains why financial optimization should be measured by the life it enables rather than the dollars it saves and introduces the OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) as a practical framework for evaluating trade-offs. Roger also answers listener questions about stepped-up cost basis after the death of a spouse, whether dividends can be used to fund an income floor, and when bonds versus CDs make sense in today's interest rate environment.OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE OF THE RETIREMENT ANSWER MAN(00:00) Roger introduces today's discussion on balancing financial optimization with simplicity, previews upcoming episodes, and shares updates on the August replay schedule and September Social Security series.RETIREMENT TOOLKIT(02:31) Finding your "golden mean" between optimizing your retirement plan and keeping it simpleWhy retirement planning often overemphasizes financial optimizationThe difference between optimizing for money and optimizing for lifeHow Aristotle's concept of the golden mean applies to retirement decisionsUsing the OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) to make better decisionsRecognizing personal biases before making financial decisionsEvaluating trade-offs and second-order consequences before pursuing tax strategies, Roth conversions, and other optimization opportunitiesLISTENER QUESTIONS(36:35) Roger answers a listener's question about home cost basis. (41:02) Can dividend income be used to fill the gap in my retirement income floor?(44:55) Are bonds still a good conservative investment, or should I use CDs instead?SMART SPRINT(49:55) Practice using the OODA framework on a small, everyday decision this week to determine whether optimizing is truly worth the extra time and effort.CLOSING THOUGHTS(51:24) Roger reflects on how building a resilient retirement plan isn't just about protecting against uncertainty—it also gives you the confidence to lean into life and enjoy retirement more fullyREFERENCESSubmit a Question for RogerSign up for The NoodleNote: The opinions expressed are for informational purposes only and should not replace personalized advice from licensed professionals.

Brewing beer is easy. Four simple ingredients, and a process so straightforward that the earliest beers were brewed by accident when wet grains started to germinate and ferment. But brewing consistently high-quality beer is a different challenge, and the modern brewing process extends far beyond the simple equation of beer = water + malt + hops + yeast. Differentiating your product in a competitive market is a challenge that all brewers face. Doing all of this on a tight budget is a major challenge for many brewers today. While costs can be cut to an extent by purchasing cheaper ingredients, this comes at the risk of reducing product quality, consistency, or flavor.Through careful optimization of each step of the brewing process, you can improve yields and efficiency, allowing you to continue to use the high-quality ingredients that define your brand. In this presentation, you will discover the full range of tools available in the Brewer's Toolkit. Learn how to use nutrients, enzymes, process aids, flavor additions, specific yeast strains and inactive specific yeast products to improve beer quality and brewing efficiency.Eric Abbott has a B.Sc. in Biochemistry, a M.Sc. in Botany, and 20 years of experience in the beverage industry. Since 2017, Eric has brought experience as a brewer, R&D scientist, and technical sales manager to the Lallemand Brewing technical team. As the main point of contact for brewing technical support and troubleshooting, Eric is keenly aware of the challenges that brewers face everyday. In collaboration with the Lallemand Brewing innovation team, Eric works to develop new products and resources to help brewers to improve product quality and increase brewing efficiency. Eric is a father of three daughters in the Montreal area, and he enjoys kayaking on the Rivière de Milles Iles, when it is not frozen.Join us in person for CBP Connects TampaDecember 7-9, 2026Come get inspired, leave with actionable strategies: https://cbpconnects.com/

In this episode, Harmony sits down with Karina for a conversation about the wisdom that's been inside us all along. Karina explains why she never uses tarot to predict the future — instead, she reads the cards as mirrors for the archetypal patterns already shaping our lives. They talk about magnetic creation, the eight-year fear block that kept her new book on a shelf, and the Terma ritual she teaches for manifesting from alignment instead of force. Along the way, Karina does a live tarot reading on air, and the conversation turns to AI, synchronicity, and what it really means to trust your own inner guidance.

She's the creator of “A Toolkit for Awakening,” an eleven-book series weaving together tarot, astrology, mythology, psychology, and the hero's journey, and the designer of her own digital tarot deck. Her newest book, Awaken Magnetic Creation: Manifesting Your Dreams, is out now.

If you've been running hard, holding everything together, and quietly wondering, Is this really the life I want? — this episode is for you. Today, I sit down with DJ DiDonna, Harvard Business School Senior Lecturer, founder of The Sabbatical Project, and author of Big Time Off: The Transformative Power of Sabbaticals and How to Take One. DJ has spent more than a decade studying what happens when people step away from work — not to escape their lives, but to finally pay attention to them. And what he has found will change the way you think about burnout, ambition, productivity, and your calendar. This conversation is about the power of a real reset: why vacations often aren't enough, why high achievers wait too long to pause, and how extended time away can help you reconnect with your identity, purpose, relationships, and direction. In this episode, you'll learn: Why burnout is not a personal failure — it's a signal The difference between a vacation and a real sabbatical How time away can reset your identity, purpose, and priorities Why your biggest breakthroughs rarely happen when you're grinding harder How to make extended time off feel practical, not impossible This episode is your permission slip to stop treating exhaustion like a badge of honor. Hit play — and learn why stepping away may be the most strategic move you ever make.

China's growing use of economic power for strategic and political purposes has become one of the defining features of international competition. Beijing is no longer simply using trade and investment to promote economic growth—it is increasingly deploying a sophisticated toolkit of laws, regulations, export controls, market access, infrastructure investment, and technological standards to advance its broader geopolitical objectives.   In today's episode, we'll explore how China's approach to economic statecraft has evolved, how effective it has been, its impact on Chinese foreign policy – especially relations with the United States -- and what governments around the world can do in response. I'm delighted to be joined by Dr. Evan Medeiros, one of the leading experts on Chinese foreign policy, including its use of economic statecraft, to help us unpack these important issues.   Dr. Medeiros is the Penner Family Chair in Asia Studies in the School of Foreign Service and the Cling Family Distinguished Fellow in US-China Studies at Georgetown University. He served seven years in President Obama's NSC first as director for China, Taiwan and Mongolia, and then as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Asia.
