Send us a textPerfection is the prettiest excuse to stay still, and it's costing you the future you want. We share a simple, repeatable method for starting now—no hype, no waiting for the stars to align. The three-brick approach helps you take a tiny first step, observe it without judgment, and protect your momentum until change sticks.We begin with the real reason people stall: they're hunting for the perfect time. It never shows. Instead, we break the start into the smallest credible action—like putting on your running shoes or standing in the gym for ten minutes—so friction falls and action begins. From there, we shift into gentle measurement. Track what you did, not what you didn't. When you see proof, your brain buys into the story that you can keep going.Then comes rhythm. We explore how to keep a streak alive with minimum viable versions, identity cues, and environment design so you don't rely on motivation. The deeper insight ties it all together: build your wall before you need it. Start coaching before the crisis, launch the podcast before the pressure, train before the deadline. When life gets loud, you'll lean on a structure already standing.Expect clear examples, quick prompts, and the nudge you need to move today. If you're tired of waiting for perfect, this is your sign to lay one brick and let momentum do the heavy lifting.

A small monthly pledge makes you a Supporter, and the Science of Sport Community awaits!Show notesToday on the Spotlight, we kick off with a chat about whether your running shoes are causing injuries (4:24). This, after a former elite runner has sued Nike for an injury she claims was the result of running in carbon fiber plated footwear. Ross and Gareth talk about the complexity of running injuries, why proving a single cause is a near-impossible task, but why the claim is not necessarily a total no-hoper, given what we know about injury and these particular shoes. We look back at some precedents, sort of, where shoe companies have settled after claims, but with some very important subtle differences.We then shift to Track and Field for a pair of stories (32:29). World Athletics crowned their Athletes of the Year this week, with Mondo Duplantis and Sydeny McLaughlin-Levrone taking the overall honours. We throw some praise Mondo's way, and not because he's virtually unbeatable and playing with the World Record. We also discuss Grand Slam Track, which is surely in its final days after the depth of its latest financial hole were announced, and Track and Field Athletics, whose supposed demise may have been greatly exaggerated (37:23)We finish with a couple of contact sports stories. Ross co-authored a paper he thinks could transform how Rugby Union handles contact training to minimize head impacts (47:40). And we spotlight listener Petulant Skeptic, whose insights on infections and hand-washing in hospitals shed light on Guardian caps and reducing concussion risk (58:39).Oh, And Finally, Ross has a tale about a mattress that will do things you simply won't believe. Or at least, you shouldn't!Links to some articlesFormer elite runner sues Nike after being injured in AlphaflysIt's not all frivolous - this paper suggests a possible injury riskInjuries are multifactorial and very complex as this Umbrella Review makes clearOne of the papers I published with Dr Nic Tam on barefoot running, showing that even 8 weeks of supervised progression didn't turn us all into smooth barefoot runners, and may thus increase injury risk for manyVibram settled - not for causing injury, but for false claimsReducing full contact training in Rugby barely reduces head impacts in elite men's players - the paper we discussedThe outstanding post by Petulant Skeptic on what infection and handwashing may tell us about Guardian caps Hosted on Acast.

Your hormone levels are perfect. Your doctor says everything looks great. So why do you still feel like garbage? When cortisol is running the show, your cells can't use the hormones you're taking. This episode of the Medical Disruptor reveals why BHRT works brilliantly for some people and fails completely for others, even on identical doses. We'll cover how chronic stress hijacks your entire hormone network, what cortisol dysregulation actually looks like in your daily life, and the exact levers you need to stabilize before your hormone therapy can finally work. You'll learn what to track for two weeks, which lifestyle changes actually move the needle, and what tests to request when your doctor says your labs are fine but your body disagrees. If you've been told to just increase your dose or that your symptoms are "probably stress," this gives you a better framework. The problem isn't that you need more hormones, it's that your system can't use what you're already taking. Looking to schedule a consultation with Dr. E?

Interview with Victor Cantore, CEO, Amex ExplorationOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/high-grade-projects-target-2026-production-to-take-advantage-of-4200-gold-price-8291Recording date: 2nd December 2025Amex Exploration is advancing a gold development project in Quebec's Abitibi Greenstone belt that eliminates traditional mining financing challenges through a carefully structured phased approach. President and CEO Victor Cantore outlined how the company plans to bring its Perron property into production while maintaining an aggressive exploration program across more than 500 square kilometers of prospective ground.The company controls over 70 kilometers of strike length on one of the world's most prolific gold-producing regions. The Perron project hosts 831,000 ounces of gold at approximately half an ounce per ton, located adjacent to hydroelectric power, an available workforce, and supportive communities including local First Nations groups.Amex has structured a self-funding development model that avoids the capital-raising challenges facing most junior miners. Starting in 2027, the company will begin toll milling operations targeting 112,000 ounces annually at all-in sustaining costs around $1,100 per ounce. Pre-production revenue of $68 million combined with over $100 million from initial production phases will internally fund the $146 million capex requirement before any major construction begins."By 2027, when you're getting your first ore from there, even if gold is at $5,000 Canadian, which we're well above that today, that's over $100 million that's going to come in," Cantore explained. At gold prices exceeding $3,200 per ounce, the operation could generate margins of approximately $2,000 per ounce pre-tax.The phased approach deliberately avoids two common mining failures: tailings management facilities and incorrect mill sizing. After four years of toll milling providing operational data, Amex will invest $191 million in growth capital to build its own processing infrastructure. The company has already secured $25 million in exploration funding through 2026, supporting over 100,000 meters of drilling across existing properties and recently acquired Ontario assets. Future exploration will be funded from operating cash flow, eliminating shareholder dilution while expanding the resource base across this highly prospective land package.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/amex-explorationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

We love collaborations and this time we teamed up with Mindy and Scott from BiggerPockets Money to tackle a case study you don't want to miss: "How to go from Broke at 50 to Retired at 60!" This originally aired on BiggerPockets Money in August, and since then it received over 300,000 views and quickly moved up to the second most popular video on their YouTube Channel. Needless to say, this topic, got people talking! We spell out exactly what we would do to go from a zero-dollar net worth to a million dollars in retirement! This is a step-by-step plan that anyone who wants to retire on time can follow, focusing specifically on Barb - a recently divorced stay-at-home mom reentering the workforce with a zero-dollar net worth. Her situation represents millions of people who find themselves starting over financially in their fifties, whether due to divorce, job loss, or simply never having started saving for retirement. ===DEALS & DISCOUNTS FROM OUR TRUSTED PARTNERS===

THE Leadership Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Most leaders genuinely want a strong relationship with their team, yet day-to-day reality can be messy—especially when performance feels uneven. The trap is thinking "they should change." The breakthrough is realising: you can't change others, but you can change how you think, communicate, and lead. Why do leaders get annoyed with the "80%" of the team (and what should they do instead)? Because the Pareto Principle (80/20 rule) makes it feel like you're paying for effort you're not getting—but the fix is to lead the whole system, not just the stars. In most teams, a smaller group carries a disproportionate chunk of the output, and that can irritate any manager trying to hit targets, KPIs, OKRs, or quarterly numbers. But treating the "80%" as a problem creates a self-fulfilling spiral: you spend less time with them, they feel it, motivation drops, and performance follows. In Japan-based teams (and in global teams post-pandemic, with hybrid work and remote collaboration), this spiral gets worse because "relationship temperature" matters. Instead, think like an orchestra conductor: the first violin matters, but the whole section must play in harmony. Do now: Stop "ranking people in your head" mid-week. Start "designing the system" that helps every player contribute. Can you actually change your team members' performance or attitude? Not directly—you can't rewire other adults, but you can change the environment you create and the way you show up. The leader move is internal first: adjust your assumptions, your language, your coaching cadence, and your consistency. In practice, this means you stop waiting for people to become "more like you" and start shaping the conditions where they can succeed. A simple mental shift is accepting that high performers and average performers will always co-exist in any team—Japan, the US, Europe, APAC; startups, SMEs, or multinationals. When you accept the 20/80 reality, you can focus on (1) lifting the 20% even higher and (2) getting strong coordination and reliable contribution from everyone else. Do now: Identify one attitude you bring to the "middle 60%" that's costing you results—and change that, first. How do you stop criticism from destroying motivation and trust? By eliminating the "criticise, condemn, complain" reflex and replacing it with coaching language that preserves dignity. Dale Carnegie's human relations principle is blunt for a reason: criticism rarely produces agreement; it produces defence. And when people feel attacked, they don't improve—they protect themselves, they withdraw, and they tell themselves a story about you. This is especially relevant in Japan, where public correction can trigger loss of face, and in Western contexts where blunt feedback can still backfire if it feels personal rather than behavioural. The point isn't to become "soft." It's to become effective: if the same negative approach keeps producing the same negative reaction, adjust the angle—just a few degrees—so the other person can respond positively. Do now: Before your next correction, rewrite it as: "Here's what I observed, here's the impact, here's what good looks like next time." What does "honest, sincere appreciation" look like in a Japanese workplace? It's specific, evidence-based praise—not vague compliments, not flattery, and not silence. Leaders often skip appreciation because they assume "they're paid to do it," then wonder why cooperation is hard. Yet people are highly sensitive to fake praise, and they'll dismiss it as manipulation. The fix is to praise something concrete and provable. A practical Japan example is exactly the point: "Suzuki-san, I appreciated the fact you got back to me on time with the information I requested—it helped me meet the deadline. Thank you for your cooperation." The evidence makes it believable, the detail makes it useful, and the respect makes it repeatable. Do now: Give one piece of appreciation today that includes what, when, and why it mattered—in one sentence. How do you motivate people who don't seem to care as much as you do? You motivate them by speaking to what they want—because everyone is already focused on their own priorities. If you need cooperation, it's not enough to repeat what you want and when you want it. Your team member is running their own internal agenda: career security, competence, recognition, flexibility, learning, status, autonomy, or simply a calmer workday. This is where "arouse in the other person an eager want" becomes a leadership skill, not a slogan. In a Japanese firm, the eager want might be stability and not standing out negatively. In a US startup, it might be speed, ownership, and visibility. Same principle, different cultural packaging. Listen to what comes out of your mouth—if it's all about you, you're making cooperation harder. Do now: In your next request, add one line: "What would make this easier or more valuable for you?" What should leaders do this week to strengthen team relationships—fast? Start by changing yourself "three degrees," then run a simple weekly rhythm that rebuilds trust, clarity, and contribution. If you keep approaching lower performers negatively, you'll keep getting the same negative reaction; change your approach first. Then operationalise it—because intention without behaviour is just theatre. Here's a tight relationship-strengthening checklist you can run in any context (Japan HQ, regional APAC office, or global remote team): Weekly habit What you do Why it works 2x short 1:1s Ask: "What's blocking you?" Shows support, surfaces friction 1 evidence-based praise Specific + concrete Builds motivation without fluff 2021.10.11 GEO Version How Lead… 1 "eager want" question "What do you want from this?" Aligns incentives 2021.10.11 GEO Version How Lead… 1 criticism detox Remove complain/condemn Prevents defensive behaviour 2021.10.11 GEO Version How Lead… Do now: Pick one person you've mentally labelled "difficult" and change your next interaction by three degrees—more curiosity, more respect, more clarity. Conclusion If you want stronger relationships, stop waiting for people to become easier to lead. You'll get better results by starting with what you control: your mindset, your communication habits, and your consistency. The leaders who do that build better teams; the leaders who don't keep complaining—and they're never short of company. Next steps (quick actions) Replace one critical comment with one coaching request this week. Deliver one evidence-based appreciation per day for five days. In every request, add one line that links to what the other person wants. Track who you spend time with—ensure the "80%" aren't getting frozen out. FAQs Yes—high performers still need active leadership, not neglect. Keep lifting the 20% higher while systemising support for everyone else. No—praise isn't "un-Japanese" if it's precise and evidence-based. Specific appreciation is usually accepted because it's verifiable and respectful. Yes—criticism can be useful, but condemn-and-complain feedback usually backfires. People defend themselves; improvement requires clarity without attack.

The Christmas Tree Lot, the Steak, and Why the Hard Part Is What Makes It Worth It In this episode, Doc Danny Matta shares a story about a Christmas tree lot in Columbus, Georgia, the best steak he's ever eaten, and how hard work—and the struggle that comes with it—makes success and reward deeply meaningful. He connects that experience to clinic ownership, growth, and why building a successful cash practice is supposed to be hard. Quick Ask If this episode helps you reframe the hard parts of business, share it with another clinician who's grinding through a tough season—and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare it. Episode Summary Documentation pain: The #1 complaint on satisfaction surveys is clinicians hating to write notes. Clair AI scribe: Clair has been trained specifically for PTs to write high-quality notes, like a meticulous student in the corner capturing everything. Time freedom: Using Clair allows clinicians to reclaim hours of documentation time and spend it with family, hobbies, or simply resting. Danny's background: Staff PT, active duty military PT, cash practice founder, seller, and founder of PT Biz, helping 1,000+ clinicians build cash practices. The Christmas tree lot job: As a teenager in Columbus, GA, Danny and his brother took a sketchy, hard manual-labor job at a Christmas tree lot near Fort Benning. Uncertain payoff: The owner warned them they'd only get paid if they worked hard—and not until the end of the season. Hard work in the cold: Long days hauling trees, sawing, tying them to cars, all while smelling Texas Roadhouse across the street they couldn't yet afford. Finally getting paid: On the last day, the owner pulled out a wad of cash, paid them what he owed, and even gave them a bonus for working hard. The greatest steak ever: They walked across the street to Texas Roadhouse, ordered the most expensive steak, and it remains the best steak Danny's ever had—because of what it represented. Meaning through struggle: The steak wasn't special because of the restaurant; it was special because of the work it took to earn it. Business parallel: The hard parts of clinic ownership—slow growth, cash stress, buildouts, staffing—are what make the wins meaningful. Normalizing struggle: Building a successful clinic that changes your life and your family's life should not be easy. Celebrate wins: Most entrepreneurs power past achievements without celebrating; Danny argues you need to mark the "steak moments." Reframing frustration: Instead of "Why is this so hard?" shift to "It's supposed to be hard—and that's why it will feel incredible when it works." Lessons & Takeaways Hard work makes reward meaningful: Wins feel better when they're earned through discomfort, sacrifice, and persistence. You need contrast: Without the "shitty stuff," victories don't stand out—you need struggle to appreciate success. Business is not meant to be easy: A clinic that creates time and financial freedom will demand hard things from you. Struggle is not a sign you're failing: It's a sign you're doing something significant and transformative. School and business are similar: Graduation and growth feel good precisely because the journey is challenging. Positive reinforcement matters: Celebrating wins keeps you moving through the next tough stretch. Mindset & Motivation Embrace the hard: Instead of resenting the grind, accept that it's the price of a different life. You're not broken: Being tired, stretched, and challenged doesn't mean you picked the wrong path. Remember what's at stake: A successful clinic can change your family's finances, your time, and your identity. Reframe the question: Move from "Why is this so hard?" to "Who am I becoming because I'm doing hard things?" Use the steak moment: Have a tangible reward in mind—your version of Texas Roadhouse—to look forward to after big milestones. Pro Tips for Clinic Owners Automate documentation: Use Clair to remove hours of note writing and free up time for life outside the clinic. Define your "steak": Choose a specific reward (trip, dinner, purchase) you'll give yourself after a big business milestone. Track your wins: Keep a running list of milestones reached so you can look back and see your progress. Expect friction: When something feels hard, remind yourself: "This is exactly what I signed up for." Build celebration into your plan: Schedule a pause to celebrate when you hit revenue, hire, or space goals. Notable Quotes "If you don't have the shitty stuff, then it doesn't feel very good whenever you get the good stuff." "Why would something that changes your life be easy?" "Anything meaningful—like a successful clinic—should be hard." "If you can just reframe from 'Why is this hard?' to 'This is supposed to be hard,' it changes everything." "The hard part is what makes the win feel like the greatest steak you've ever had." Action Items Identify one current "hard thing" in your business and consciously reframe it as part of what makes your future success meaningful. Pick a specific reward you'll give yourself when you hit your next major milestone. Write down three big wins you've already earned and how hard you worked for them. Consider trying Clair for a 7-day free trial to reclaim documentation time. Share this story with a spouse, partner, or friend so they understand why you're pushing through the hard season.

Profit First with Megan Schwan Most owners chase revenue and wonder why cash keeps disappearing. In this episode, Rocky sits down with Megan Schwan—CEO of Sidekick Accounting and a certified Profit First Professional—to unpack the simple systems that turn chaos into cash: clean books, pricing discipline, expense sweeps, and a short list of actionable KPIs. If you want fewer surprises and fatter reserves, start here. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why "good books" are your #1 tax saver—and the foundation for pricing and fraud control. How Profit First creates guardrails, gut-checks overspending, and builds real reserves. The expense analysis that finds instant profit (and all those "I thought I canceled" subs). The handful of KPIs to watch: break-even, month-end bank balance trend, gross & net margins, plus 1–2 lead metrics. Why owners must read the balance sheet (AR, debt, cash) to explain the "profit but no cash" mystery. S-Corp myths vs reality: costs, payroll, compliance, and when it doesn't save you a dime. The mindset gap: let data overrule fear and emotion—especially in weird markets. Key Takeaways: Clean books first; dashboards second. Messy inputs = misleading decisions. Profit First is a behavior system that forces lean ops and automatic reserves. Trim subscriptions and non-ROI spend quarterly. Every line needs a purpose. Track few, not many: break-even, margin, cash trend, and one lead indicator. Entity choice is strategy—don't elect S-Corp on hype; do the math. Bio: Megan Schwan is the CEO and Founder of Sidekick Accounting Services, a national, virtual accounting firm working to change the statistic that 8 out of 10 small businesses fail. For over a decade, Megan and her team have educated 1000's of owners on their business accounting and taxes in order to create sustainable and successful businesses. Being in the accounting industry for over 2 decades, Megan has seen and experienced plenty of businesses' red flags and triumphs.

Cash is quiet. Use Profit First to build guardrails, clean up the books so pricing and KPIs tell the truth, and revisit entity and expenses with a strategic eye. A 20-minute weekly review beats a 20-hour crisis.

Most recruiting playbooks are either too vague to matter or too corporate to inspire. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to create a magnetic recruiting playbook; one that does more than document steps. It attracts the right talent, builds deep community, and creates retention that scales. We'll cover three powerful pillars: marketing that feels human, community that creates belonging, and retention that builds belief. This isn't theory. It's a rhythm that reinforces your leadership at every level. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why most playbooks fail and how to build one that magnetizes people to your team [01:00] What a Playbook Really Is – Not a document, but a lived rhythm that reflects the culture of your team [02:00] Part 1: Marketing That Connects Define your content pillars: What should you be known for? Build a cadence: Weekly posts, monthly updates, quarterly events Show your leadership: Let the market feel what it's like to be led by you Involve your team: Shared wins and team content multiply your message [03:30] Marketing Is Not About Going Viral – It's about being consistently visible with real value [04:30] Part 2: Community That Retains Outline rhythms of connection: Weekly calls, celebrations, shout-outs Systematize belonging: Notes, gifts, personal coaching Teach peer-to-peer support: Real community isn't top down, it's side to side [05:30] Community Has to Be Structured to Scale – Templates, calendars, and shared docs bring this to life [06:00] Part 3: Retention That Lasts Four keys: Clear expectations, consistent coaching, visible progress, emotional connection Define onboarding rhythms Track growth, give feedback, build relationship Retention isn't about comp or ops, it's about belief [07:00] The Gift of Documenting the Gaps – Writing your playbook reveals where you're winging it, and that's how you get better [07:30] Final Challenge Create three sections: Marketing, Community, Retention List five things you already do and five you want to start doing Build templates, assign owners, and create checklists over the next 30 days Key Takeaways A Playbook Isn't a PDF. It's a System That Lives and Breathes – Build rhythms, not just resources Marketing Should Be Personal and Predictable – Stop trying to go viral. Start being visible Community Doesn't Happen By Chance – It happens by design and weekly repetition Retention Is Built, Not Hoped For – It requires coaching, celebration, and belief Your Playbook Makes You Scalable – It moves your leadership from your head into the hands of others You don't need to build something flashy. You need to build something real, something that grows with you, attracts the right people, and keeps your team aligned. Want help building your own magnetic recruiting playbook?

Prediabetes is common in the U.S. — around 1 in 3 people have it. And many people may not know they have it. But last year, the FDA approved the first over-the-counter continuous glucose monitor. Since then, more people without diabetes have started checking their blood glucose levels.

Albert “Shrimp” Burns rose from a teenage mechanic in Oakland to become one of the most feared and beloved racers of the 1910s. Competing on the dangerous wooden motordromes —nicknamed “murderdromes” for their lethal design—he raced in front of crowds of 20,000 spectators at a time when board-track racing was one of America's most popular sports. By sixteen, Shrimp had become a national celebrity. He rode for both Harley-Davidson and Indian, shattered records, won over crowds, and pushed his body beyond its limits. He died at twenty-two. Much of his history vanished into scattered archives, newspapers, and forgotten race programs. Shrimp: The Albert Burns Story reconstructs his meteoric rise and tragic end using hundreds of primary sources and rare photographs, reviving a lost American icon and the brutal, glamorous world of early motorsports. Author Billy Choi joins us to talk about this much forgotten era of motorcycle racing, and the racers that lived and died for the sport. With Liza, Miss Emma, Stumpy John and Bagel. https://billychoibooks.com/ www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.breakingawayadventures.com/shop/p/mi…-rally-v4 www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew womenridersworldrelay.com/ adifferentagenda.com/products/the-lost-tribe-25 motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT
