Rachael Schwartz coaches women through fat loss without making any of them track calories.None of them.Not her 1:1 clients.Not her group coaching (which sometimes runs 300 people deep).That probably sounds like the opposite of what I usually say. Because it is.I think calorie tracking is one of the best tools out there for fat loss.Rachael disagrees because she believes tracking creates problems for the people she works with.Perfectionism.Obsessing over the number.Throwing the day out because they went 200 calories over.Her system gets around that by building structure into everything.Instead of "hit your numbers," her clients get parameters:Protein servings sized to them.Specific eating windows.A built-in dessert every day (she calls it BID).One treat meal a week with actual rules around it.Drinking nights capped at two with specific drinks.It's basically a pick-your-own-adventure meal plan with guardrails. The calorie deficit happens, they just don't see the math.We also had a pretty good debate over intermittent fasting (she thinks it backfires for most women because they get too perfectionist about the timing).And we disagreed on whether fasting itself provides longevity benefits or whether it just makes a calorie deficit easier to hit.But the conversation that surprised me most was peptides.A few years ago Rachael was firmly anti-Ozempic. Now she's been microdosing for months.Not for weight loss — but for inflammation, energy, and what she described as "feeling like a sponge that finally got wrung out."She's also been experimenting with NAD+, GHK-Cu (the copper peptide for skin and hair), BPC-157 for gut health, and a few others.We got into where this is all headed — and why she thinks microdosing GLP-1s will eventually be classified as a longevity tool, not a weight loss drug.I'm more cautious. But I think she's probably right about where this is going.We get into:Why Rachael's clients lose weight without tracking a single calorieHer actual system (built-in dessert, treat meals, alcohol rules, eating windows)Why "the habits that get you lean should be the same habits that keep you lean"The intermittent fasting debate — and why she thinks it backfires for most womenHow her view on Ozempic completely flippedMicrodosing GLP-1s as a longevity tool, not a weight loss toolThe other peptides she's experimenting with right nowWhy she rates exercise as a drug — and why the data backs her upWhere weight loss medication is probably heading in the next 10 yearsClick below to listen to this great conversation!Find Rachael on Instagram: @rachaelschwartznutrition

What does a dedicated meditation practice look like off the cushion and in the real world? On this episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, hosts Jon Macaskill and Will Schneider sit down with Chris Lee... former Green Beret, 18 Delta medic, author of Beyond the Battlefield, and newly signed president of Machine Mentality alongside Nick Lavery. Chris came on to talk about why meditation is the quiet superpower that most men keep putting off, and what actually changed when he stopped treating it like a checkbox.Chris shares his walking meditation practice (72 steps per lap in his backyard, nearly killed the grass), the moment he realized he'd been matching his breath to his pace instead of his pace to his breath, and why flipping that became a metaphor for his whole life. He talks about the shift from knife-handing his daughters to being present during driving lessons, the self-talk change that cracked everything open, and a psychedelic-assisted therapy session where he heard: stop striving for peace, just be peace.Jon shares his own meditation gap... learning the practice in 2015, dropping off, and coming back in 2017 when his newborn daughter's nighttime feedings forced him to rediscover the tool. Will talks about teaching non-doing meditation to high performers in New York and why you'll never out-clever your own mind.The episode gets practical with the five-minute rule, the gym analogy for beginners (start with 45 seconds, not an hour), and two responses to common meditation pushback that are worth remembering: "I can't quiet my mind" is like saying "I'm too dirty to take a shower," and the deadlift analogy for people who think sitting still is a waste of time. Chris closes by guiding a liquid light body scan meditation.What you'll hear in this episode:Chris's walking meditation practice and matching pace to breath as a life metaphorThe self-talk shift: being gentle when your mind wandersHow meditation changed Chris's parenting with two daughtersJon's nighttime feeding story and rediscovering the toolThe five-minute rule and why 45 seconds is a great place to start"I can't quiet my mind" = "I'm too dirty to take a shower"The deadlift analogy for meditation skepticsNon-doing meditation and why fighting your mind gives it controlPeace as a reservoir, not a mountaintopSleep, alcohol, the Brick device, and variables that affect your practiceCommunity and accountability for sustaining a meditation habitGuided liquid light body scan meditationChris's book: Beyond the Battlefield (available now) Chris's upcoming book: Beyond the Serpent (early 2026) Chris on Instagram/TikTok: @coach_chris.lee Machine Mentality with Nick LaveryFull episode: https://pod.fo/e/34fabfText MTM to 33777 for updates on new episodes, the A2A course, and resources from Focus Now Training.Jon's book, DIAL in Your Leadership: 4 Non-negotiables for Leading with Clarity, Trust, and Purpose, is available now on Amazon. https://a.co/d/0hYwI2SzFollow Men Talking Mindfulness, Jon Macaskill, and Will Schneider for more.Hosted on Ausha.

You've tried the calendars, the timers, the hacks. They work for two weeks and then stop. Jenna Free says that's not a discipline problem. It's a regulation problem.Jenna is a counselor for ADHD with ADHD, author of The Simple Guide to ADHD Regulation, and has worked in-depth with over 1,000 people through her ADHD Regulation Method. Her position is direct: dysregulation is not a fixed trait of the ADHD brain. It is a learned response to a lifetime of friction. And it is the reason every other system eventually fails.We cover her three-level regulation framework, why she skips meditation and breathing exercises entirely, how dysregulated beliefs quietly block delegation and visibility in your business, and what physical signs most ADHD business owners have normalized as just a Tuesday.What We CoverWhy regulation has to come before any other system or toolThe three levels Jenna works on: nervous system, thoughts and beliefs, behaviorWhy negative self-talk and urgency feel like they work, and what they actually cost youHow dysregulation shows up as delegation avoidance and RSD in businessThe first practical step to start noticing and interrupting dysregulation todayConnect With Jenna Free Book Title: THE SIMPLE GUIDE TO ADHD REGULATION: The Secret to Finding Balance, Getting Things Done, and EnjoyingSocial Media Links & Show Notes:TikTok: @adhdwithjennafree ; www.tiktok.com/@adhdwithjennafreeInstagram: @adhdwithjennafree ; www.instagram.com/adhdwithjennafreePodcast: ADHD with Jenna Free; https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/adhd-with-jenna-free/id1801356817Website: https://www.adhdwithjennafree.com/Here is the link for the free PDF I mentioned www.adhdwithjennafree.com/adhdguide P.S.

Ever noticed the more desperately you want something, the further it slips away?  In this episode, Hillary explores one of the most misunderstood spiritual principles — the law of detachment — and why the energy of desperation and attachment is actually incompatible with receiving what you desire.What you'll learn in this episode:Why attachment to an outcome (in business, money, or love) creates a frequency of lack that repels the very thing you wantThe difference between detachment and not caring — you can be fully devoted and desire something deeply while still releasing how it has to lookHow Hilary's own experience during a recent launch showed her how attachment literally affected her sales — and what she did to shift itWhy decision-making from the mind always carries attachment to an outcome (and what to use instead)How Human Design strategy and authority acts as a powerful detachment toolThe concept of "being delusional" — why your desires should feel bigger than what your current consciousness can plan forWhy the process is the outcome, and how who you become along the way is the whole pointPractical ways to notice when you're in attachment energy and how to shift back into overflowHilary mentions:Podcast series on Human Design energy typesThe Advanced Human Design Certification — currently in pre-launch with best pricing (link below)THE EXPANSION LIVE TOURTHE EXPANSION: Expand into your highest potential and timelineBecome CERTIFIED in HD in the Advanced Human Design CertificationInstagramGet your free Human Design Chart

Are you rejecting your best hire without realising it?In this episode, I break down one of the most common hiring mistakes: using the CV as a decision, instead of a filter.Most candidates don't tick every box on paper. But the best hires rarely do.I share how top hiring managers think differently — looking beyond keywords, brand names, and job descriptions to find real potential.In this episode:Why CVs are often used as a rejection toolThe “missing keyword” problemWhy ex-Google doesn't mean what you thinkThe human traits that actually predict performanceWhy your hiring issue might be a thinking problem, not a talent problemIf you're hiring right now, or planning to, this will change how you evaluate candidates.

Most powersports dealers have some form of reinsurance in place. Most of them have no idea what is actually in it.Gene Silas has been in the industry for over 30 years. Jeff Barron has been at it for 26. Together they run Brightline Dealer Advisors, one of the largest broker firms in the United States and they spend their days helping dealers understand what they actually own in their F&I back end and how much of it is quietly walking out the door in fees they have never seen.They recently did a webinar with the NPDA that generated a ton of questions. So I brought them on here to go even deeper for our audience.What we cover:Why most dealers look at only one number on their reinsurance statement and miss everything elseThe walkaway, retro, CFC, and DOWC structures explained in plain English — and how to know which one fits youProducts that can go into reinsurance: service contracts, tire and wheel, paint and fabric, GAP, and ancillariesWhy GAP should usually be kept separate from your service contract reinsurance positionThe hidden fee problem: ceding fees, loss adjustment expense, and premium tax that come off the dealer's bottom line before they ever see the moneyThe side-by-side comparison that could be costing dealers $50,000 to $60,000 a year depending on volumeWhy all fees should be visible in the admin fee and what "below the line fees" actually meansThe A account vs the B account in plain English — and why moving money to the B account as fast as possible mattersHow dealers can borrow against their own B account money and pay the interest back to themselves instead of a bankCapital gains vs ordinary income: the tax difference that can mean 18 to 20 points on millions of dollarsThe risk triangle: why reinsurance is not a set it and forget it situationEarly claims and multiple cause of loss: what it looks like when a service contract is being used as a recon toolThe disappearing deductible strategy that keeps customers coming back to your service bay and protects your bookWhy you need claim override controls and exactly who should have themThe nine questions every dealer should be asking their current reinsurance providerGene's AI tip: how to use ChatGPT or Claude to find every fee buried in your dealer agreement in minutesWhat a real advisory partner looks like vs someone just managing their own book through youGene's FTC prediction: powersports dealers have 12 months or less before enforcement starts — and what to do about it nowThe $54,000 per violation reality and why 97 automotive dealers have already faced itWatch on YouTube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixit?si=xGw636a89UUDAK20⁠Connect with Gene Silas (Brightline): ⁠gsilas@brightlinedealer.com⁠Connect with Jeff Barron (Brightline): ⁠jbarron@brightlinedealer.com⁠Connect with Jacob: ⁠https://linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berry⁠Follow the Fixit Online: ⁠https://linktr.ee/dealershipfixit⁠MotoHunt for Dealers: ⁠https://dealers.motohunt.com⁠

Send us Fan MailNathalie and Amanda go beneath the speaker and the frameworks to the private, unscripted territory of grief. In this episode, we coverWhat it costs to hold it together when falling apart isn't an optionThe parts of the story that resist being turned into a growth toolThe difference between resilience as armour and resilience as a path back to yourselfWhat genuine support actually looks like in the darkest hoursWhere grief still lives in the body today, and how to tend to itAbout our guestAmanda Anderson is a keynote speaker, trauma survivor, and mental health advocate with over 17 years of experience working in NLP, resilience, and real-world mental health. Her credentials are not academic — they are lived. Her brother was murdered. Her sister and father died of terminal illness. She survived a stroke, divorce, and sustained frontline trauma exposure. From that wreckage, she built a body of work that helps high-functioning, resilient people, the ones who have always been "the strong one", stop merely surviving and consciously rebuild something fierce and true.Her work sits at the intersection of trauma, grief, and identity. Through keynotes and writing, she gives language to the experiences people have been carrying silently for years. She doesn't offer surface-level motivation. She offers permission to stop pretending you were never hurt, and to choose, deliberately, what you build next.Resources mentionedwww.amanda-anderson.com.aulinkedin.com/in/amandakandersonSupport the show

What if vibe coding is the worst thing you could do with AI agents? The developers seeing the biggest gains aren't prompting harder. They're planning smarter, spec-first, and treating AI as a facilitator rather than a code generation engine.In this episode, Brian Madison, creator of the BMad Method, shares how a year of late-night AI experiments led him to a structured, Agile-inspired approach to building software with AI agents. Brian explains why jumping straight into agent mode without upfront planning (what most people call vibe coding) reliably hits a wall, and how a disciplined spec-first workflow breaks through that ceiling.He walks through the BMad Method's core workflow: brainstorming, PRD, architecture, UX design, and context-rich user stories, each feeding into the next so the agent always has exactly what it needs. Brian also recounts a transformative two-week sprint he ran with his team where engineers were given permission to fail, and how that single experiment changed the way his entire organisation works with AI.Finally, he reflects on what this shift means for the future of software engineering — where the unit of work is moving from tasks and stories to full features and epics, and every engineer can operate more like a tech lead.Key topics discussed:Why vibe coding hits a wall and how spec-driven dev fixes itUsing AI as a facilitator, not just a code generatorThe BMad Method: PRD → architecture → context-rich storiesHow a 2-week “no typing” sprint transformed his engineering teamGiving teams permission to fail as a leadership toolThe shift from user stories to epics as the unit of workWhy problem decomposition is engineers' biggest AI superpowerTimestamps:(00:00:00) Trailer & Intro(00:02:44) How Did the US Army Shape Brian's Journey into Software Engineering?(00:06:35) How Can Engineers Overcome Imposter Syndrome and Build Self-Confidence?(00:10:23) What Does BMad Actually Stand For?(00:13:49) What Is the BMad Method?(00:22:11) How Does BMad Approach Context and Spec Engineering?(00:29:02) What Sparked the Creation of the BMad Method?(00:44:55) What Productivity Gains Has the BMad Method Produced?(00:48:36) How Will AI Change the Unit of Work for Software Engineers?(00:55:51) How Does BMad Keep Specs and Code in Sync Over Time?(01:01:01) What Is the Best Way to Get Started with the BMad Workflow?(01:05:00) Which AI Models and Tools Does the BMad Method Support?(01:08:21) 4 Tech Lead Wisdom_____Brian Madison's BioBrian Madison is the creator of the BMad Method, an open-source framework that treats AI as a facilitator for workflows across any domain—software development, product management, operations, and beyond. Used globally, the BMad Method helps people work through complex processes using AI personas, from engineers driving spec-driven development to product managers crafting better PRDs and requirements.Currently a Senior Engineering Manager at Extend, Brian led product engineering teams toward becoming an AI-native organization and now leads the entire AI SDLC transformation for the company, using the BMad Method as a framework, reimagining how AI flows through the full software development lifecycle.Brian's approach to leadership was forged during his service in the U.S. Army, where he learned the values of servant leadership, discipline, and mission-first execution.Follow Brian:LinkedIn – linkedin.com/in/bmadcodeBMadWebsite – bmadcode.comDocs – docs.bmad-method.orgGitHub – github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHODDiscord – discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmjYouTube – youtube.com/@BMadCodeX – x.com/BMadCodeFacebook – facebook.com/@BMadCodeLike this episode?Show notes & transcript: techleadjournal.dev/episodes/255.Follow @techleadjournal on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram.Buy me a coffee or become a patron.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into Peeping Tom, the chilling and controversial psychological thriller directed by Michael Powell. Upon release, the film was condemned, misunderstood, and effectively ended Powell's career in the UK. Decades later, it's recognized as a foundational work of modern horror and a precursor to the slasher genre.We unpack the story of Mark Lewis, a withdrawn cameraman who films the fear of his victims as he murders them—turning the audience into uneasy accomplices. Along the way, we explore how the film forces viewers to confront their own voyeurism, the ethics of spectatorship, and cinema's power to manipulate.The episode examines:How Peeping Tom weaponizes the camera as both a literal and psychological toolThe disturbing father-son experiment at the heart of Mark's traumaThe film's influence on later works like Psycho and the entire slasher traditionThe themes of voyeurism, repression, and the act of watching as complicityWe also discuss Powell's stylistic choices, the use of color and framing, and how the film blurs the line between filmmaker, character, and viewer in a way that still feels unsettling today._____________________________________________________________Feel free to email at silverscreenvideopodcast@gmail.com with any comments or thoughts.

What turns a group of students into a community?In this episode, Jocelynn shares how watching the Netflix documentary The Greatest Night in Pop unexpectedly inspired a powerful reflection on classroom culture, shared purpose, and collective identity.From a vivid childhood memory of singing We Are the World in kindergarten to intentionally using the song years later as a 7th grade social studies teacher, this episode explores how music, art, and shared experiences can transform instructional culture no matter what subject you teach.Because culture is not built through rules alone.It is built through shared meaning.In This Episode, We Explore:Why shared purpose is what turns a group of students into a communityHow music serves as an international language and a powerful instructional toolThe difference between nostalgia and intentional instructional designHow analyzing both lyrics and visual media deepens student thinkingWhy connection strengthens cognitive safety and engagementHow to reset classroom culture at any point in the yearYou'll hear how students analyzed both the 1985 and 2010 versions of We Are the World, discussed influence and platform, examined generational legacy, and expanded lesson goals beyond surface-level standards.You'll also hear how poetry, music, and collective agreements became a reset tool throughout the year — serving as a cultural anchor when energy dipped or tension rose.Instructional TakeawaysThis episode highlights practical moves you can implement immediately:Begin with shared purpose, not just proceduresUse art and storytelling as intellectual entry pointsDesign classroom agreements rooted in identity and contributionRevisit shared artifacts when culture needs recalibrationFrame learning as contribution, not consumptionAnd remember:Beginning is when you begin.Ready to Build This Foundation in Your Classroom?If you're looking for structure to help establish belonging, shared identity, and collective purpose, explore:The First 10 Days: Back to School – Building a Classroom of Belonging: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/The-First-10-Days-Back-to-School-Building-a-Classroom-of-Belonging-14072086This resource is designed to help teachers establish purpose, belonging, and shared identity from the beginning — or whenever you choose to reset.Because shared purpose is not tied to a calendar.It is tied to intention.Coaching Corner ReflectionAs you reflect on this episode, consider:What will students learn about themselves as contributors to something larger than themselves?What will they learn about their peers?What will they learn about the world?Using the AAA Reflection Framework:What am I becoming aware of about shared purpose in my classroom or school?What am I choosing to accept, challenge, or release?Small. Specific. Sustainable.AcknowledgementsThis episode references:The Greatest Night in Pop (Netflix, 2024)U.S.A. for Africa – We Are the World (1985)We Are the World 25 for Haiti (2010)

Send us a textWe're kicking off a brand new series: the Weight Loss Nevers.Most of the time you hear about what you should do to lose weight. But in this series, I'm breaking down the things you should NEVER do if you want your weight loss to last. These are the traps, the shortcuts, and the self-sabotage patterns that only make things harder.In this episode, I share the first three “nevers”:Never weigh yourself more than once a week. Daily weigh-ins will mess with your head, drive you crazy, and push you toward giving up. Once a week is plenty.Never go so restrictive you can't sustain it. If your deficit or food rules are too extreme, you're setting yourself up to fail. Sustainable weight loss comes from incremental change, not punishment.Never lose sight of your goal. Big goals matter, but so do the small “micro-goals” that keep you moving forward when the daily grind feels overwhelming.This episode is about shifting focus away from diet-industry punishment and towards realistic, sustainable strategies. It's about learning to work with yourself instead of against yourself.What you'll learn in this episode:Why weighing daily makes the scale your enemy instead of your toolThe difference between a healthy calorie deficit and an unsustainable oneHow to break big weight loss goals into motivating micro-goalsWhy deprivation only leads to overeating (and why you don't need to punish yourself to lose weight)If you've been stuck in the cycle of extremes - weighing too often, cutting out too much, or losing sight of why you started - this episode will give you a clear, compassionate reset.Looking for help on your weight loss journey?

Send us a textAuthor and researcher Dr. Colin Fisher joins Joe to unpack the invisible forces that shape teams—and why leaders ignore them at their own risk.From his book The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups Dr. Fisher shows how group dynamics are always at play, whether in a locker room, a boardroom, or on the battlefield. Together, he and Joe explore why the myth of the lone genius persists, why synergy is real but rare, and how leaders can deliberately build trust, structure, and norms that drive high-performing teams.In this episode, Joe and Colin explore:Why the Sorting Hat—not Voldemort—might be the real villain of Harry PotterHow the “lone genius” narrative hides the reality of collaboration behind breakthroughsWhat synergy really means and why structure—not speeches—is the leader's most powerful toolThe difference between relational trust and task-based trust, and why the latter makes teams excelHow group norms emerge, and why they can drive both excellence and dysfunctionWhy psychological safety is about the freedom to disagree, not surface-level harmonyHow power changes leaders' relationships with others—and why who you surround yourself with mattersWhether you're leading a squad, running a company, or just trying to understand the groups you're part of, this episode will change how you see teamwork—and give you tools to lead with intention.Since his days as a professional jazz trumpet player, Dr. Colin M. Fisher has been fascinated by group dynamics. As Associate Professor of Organizations and Innovation at University College London's School of Management, Colin's research has uncovered the hidden processes of helping groups and teams in situations requiring creativity, improvisation, and complex decision-making. He has written about group dynamics for both popular science and management audiences, and his work has been profiled in prominent media outlets such as BBC, Forbes, NPR, and The Times.
