Hola amigos! Welcome back!Is dieting really making you happy? How does your focus on weight serve you? What if there was an alternative to achieving health besides a weight goal? There is an alternative mindset.Highlights of this episode:Introducing Kia Bourne, RDNDiet culture vs. anti-diet mindsetDiscussing the weight and body relationshipDiet culture and eating disordersIdentity past weightAnnouncements:Trigger warning – discussions about suicide are present.Read Kia Bourne's blog post: THE BLACK & WHITE MINDSET: Has the anti-diet movement gone too far?Episode Summary Kia helps clients reject diet culture mindset. Afterall, fitness and nutrition are more than weight loss. Up until recently, there has not been another option for health outside of targeting weight loss. Traditionally, diet culture is front and center. It's a mentality and a set of beliefs. Something to take on to improve our health. Diet culture misses out on the actual person, it doesn't talk about the strain about the person's value or their relationship to food. It focuses on weight only to look better. It doesn't talk about your emotional and mental health under the weight loss regimen. But there are alternatives to weight loss to be healthy. Kia has noticed that many people are struggling with weight and struggling to fit in to the thin paradigm. Whether or not they identify with having an eating disorder, everyone has a need to be accepted. If being accepted involves thinness, then using food in an unhealthy way to achieve that thin ideal is problematic.  Techniques to be in an anti-diet mindset include relaxing the body through breathing awareness, which helps us connect to our body. Another is kindness. Giving space to make changes, rather than spending time beating ourselves up. A good question is, who are you beside from your weight? Where do I go from here?If you like this episode, then download the show wherever you listen to your podcasts at Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, Google, iHeartRadio, Castbox, etc!Hit that subscribe button so you won't miss another episode. Big Ask: Leave a Review!

Having trained more than 60 Division 1 quarterbacks in the past several years, quarterback coach Will Hewlett has quickly become one of the country's most sought after experts on the position. Hewlett is known for his focus on elite-level passing mechanics, helping quarterbacks improve speed of release, accuracy, and performance under pressure. “Traditionally, the quarterback has been one of the most under- coached positions on the team,” says Hewlett. “Playing QB can be both frustrating and rewarding. I love seeing the progression from a youth camper into an elite position player – physically and mentally.” Parents and coaches alike have seen the progress Coach Hewlett can bring about in a young QB – often referred to as the “difference maker”. Hewlett is constantly traveling throughout the country working with quarterback prospects from coast to coast. Hewlett says, “I love working with developing talents all over the country. To meet with a young player's coaches, see the programs and even watch the progress unfold on Friday nights is as fulfilling to me as anything in my career.” Hewlett has consulted with NFL, UFL, and NCAA coaches and continues to work with quarterbacks in the SEC, ACC, Big 10 and other conferences. In addition, Coach Hewlett is a top-ranked speaker at the Glazier Clinics tour, the largest football coaching clinics with over 26,000 active members and has co-authored a top selling book on passing mechanics. Hewlett is the first Australian-born quarterback to play NCAA football. His playing career extended to the pro-ranks, with a stint in the Arena League. His college experience included the University of Nevada and the University of Dubuque.

Traditionally and historically, the stock market has always been a good barometer for the economy, but that hasn't been the reality in the modern era.    Even today, the stock market is on a steady incline, and in great shape - seemingly nothing to see here, right? Unfortunately, no. In reality, the economic fundamentals do not match this optimistic trajectory.    Even though the irrationality of the market going up continues to rule the day, we have to be aware that we're truly in for a reckoning this year.    What are the glaring signs that there's a lot more to the economy than what is being reported? What should we actually be looking for in order to avoid getting caught up in the financial hype machine?    In today's episode, our producer Matt Johnson returns, as we discuss the truth about the market and what you won't hear in the media..

Play during opening: 0:00-0:10 …and more on today's CrossPolitic Daily News Brief. This is Toby Sumpter. Today is Friday, January 14, 2022. SCOTUS Blocks Biden VAX Mandate & Upholds Healthcare Worker Mandate https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/13/supreme-court-ruling-biden-covid-vaccine-mandates.html The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked the Biden administration from enforcing its sweeping vaccine-or-test requirements for large private companies, but allowed a vaccine mandate to stand for medical facilities that take Medicare or Medicaid payments. The rulings came three days after the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's emergency measure for businesses started to take effect. The mandate required that workers at businesses with 100 or more employees get vaccinated or submit a negative Covid test weekly to enter the workplace. It also required unvaccinated workers to wear masks indoors at work. “Although Congress has indisputably given OSHA the power to regulate occupational dangers, it has not given that agency the power to regulate public health more broadly,” the court wrote in an unsigned opinion. “Requiring the vaccination of 84 million Americans, selected simply because they work for employers with more than 100 employees, certainly falls in the latter category,” the court wrote. President Joe Biden, in a statement, said the Supreme Court chose to block requirements that are life-saving for workers. Biden called on states and businesses to step up and voluntarily institute vaccination requirements to protect workers, customers and the broader community. “The Court has ruled that my administration cannot use the authority granted to it by Congress to require this measure, but that does not stop me from using my voice as President to advocate for employers to do the right thing to protect Americans' health and economy,” Biden said. In a separate, simultaneously released ruling on the administration's vaccination rules for health-care workers, a 5-4 majority sided with the Biden administration. “We agree with the Government that the [Health and Human Services] Secretary's rule falls within the authorities that Congress has conferred upon him,” said the majority, writing that the rule “fits neatly within the language of the statute.” “After all, ensuring that providers take steps to avoid transmitting a dangerous virus to their patients is consistent with the fundamental principle of the medical profession: first, do no harm,” the majority opinion read. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, four of the six conservatives on the nine-seat bench, dissented. Kavanaugh and Roberts joined the three liberals to enforce this ruling. “I do not think that the Federal Government is likely to be able to show that Congress has authorized the unprecedented step of compelling over 10,000,000 healthcare workers to be vaccinated on pain of being fired,” Alito wrote in his dissent. FDA Issues Racist Triage Rationing for COVID Treatments https://freebeacon.com/coronavirus/food-and-drug-administration-drives-racial-rationing-of-covid-drugs/ Fron the Washington Free Beacon: In New York, racial minorities are automatically eligible for scarce COVID-19 therapeutics, regardless of age or underlying conditions. In Utah, "Latinx ethnicity" counts for more points than "congestive heart failure" in a patient's "COVID-19 risk score"—the state's framework for allocating monoclonal antibodies. And in Minnesota, health officials have devised their own "ethical framework" that prioritizes black 18-year-olds over white 64-year-olds—even though the latter are at much higher risk of severe disease. These schemes have sparked widespread condemnation of the state governments implementing them. But the idea to use race to determine drug eligibility wasn't hatched in local health departments; it came directly from the federal Food and Drug Administration. When the FDA issued its emergency use authorizations for monoclonal antibodies and oral antivirals, it authorized them only for "high risk" patients—and issued guidance on what factors put patients at risk. One of those factors was race. The FDA "fact sheet" for Sotrovimab, the only monoclonal antibody effective against the Omicron variant, states that "race or ethnicity" can "place individual patients at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19." The fact sheet for Paxlovid, Pfizer's new antiviral pill, uses the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's definition of "high risk," which states that "systemic health and social inequities" have put minorities "at increased risk of getting sick and dying from COVID-19." The guidance sheets are nonbinding and do not require clinicians to racially allocate the drugs. But states have nonetheless relied on them to justify race-based triage. "The FDA has acknowledged that in addition to certain underlying health conditions, race and ethnicity ‘may also place individual patients at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19,'" Minnesota's plan reads. "FDA's acknowledgment means that race and ethnicity alone, apart from other underlying health conditions, may be considered in determining eligibility for [monoclonal antibodies]." Utah's plan contains similar language. In a section on the "Ethical Justification for Using Race/Ethnicity in Patient Selection," it notes that the FDA "specifically states that race and ethnicity may be considered when identifying patients most likely to benefit from this lifesaving treatment." The FDA declined to comment on either state's plan, saying only that "there are no limitations on the authorizations that would restrict their use in individuals based on race." The triage plans are part of a broader push to rectify racial health disparities through race-conscious means. In March of last year, for example, two doctors at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston outlined an "antiracist agenda for medicine" that involved "offering preferential care based on race." And last year, Vermont and New Hampshire both gave racial minorities priority access to the COVID-19 vaccine, resulting in at least one formal civil rights complaint against New Hampshire. The trend has alarmed Roger Severino, the former civil rights director at the Department of Health and Human Services, who called racial preferences in medicine a "corrosive and grossly unfair" practice. "Our civil rights laws are not suspended during a public health emergency," Severino said. "We should never deny someone life-saving health care because of the color of their skin." The triage plans show how federal guidelines can encourage this sort of race discrimination. They also suggest that the FDA is making political judgments, not just scientific ones. "They're injecting politics into science," said a former senior HHS official. "That's something the Trump administration was pilloried for allegedly doing." One clear sign of that politicization, several legal and medical experts said, is the guidance's double standard between race and sex. Men in the United States have proven to be about 60 percent more likely than women to die of the disease, according to research from the Brookings Institution, and within some age brackets the mortality gap is even larger. But the FDA doesn't list sex as a risk factor anywhere in its guidance. And while the Utah scheme does take it into account, the New York and Minnesota schemes do not. Nor do they or the FDA give any weight to geography and socioeconomic status, both of which are associated with COVID-19 mortality. Instead, the triage plans give more weight to race than to many comorbidities. In Minnesota's scoring system, "BIPOC status" is worth two points, the same as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, whereas "hypertension in a patient 55 years and older" is worth just one. In Utah's scoring system, "Non-white race or Hispanic/Latinx ethnicity" is worth two points—the same amount as diabetes, obesity, and "severely immunocompromised"—while hypertension, congestive heart failure, chronic pulmonary disease, and "shortness of breath" count for one each. Men do receive one extra point under the Utah scheme, on the grounds that "male gender is associated with increased risk of severe COVID-19." Nonbinary patients, the document says, "may choose to answer" questions about their gender identity "with that background information." Speaking of Woke medicine… Microsoft WORD Will Now Offer Woke Corrections https://notthebee.com/article/microsoft-word-introduces-new-woke-feature-to-monitor-your-language?fbclid=IwAR0sxOqYrccyxxhgAfuKMSuVVCtBFRRQaHfC8qs1PZ3HmOtL4S6PU6Z8DAE From Not the Bee: Microsoft has just introduced a woke, politically correct feature that I don't think anyone ever asked for… Traditionally, Microsoft Word has been used by its 250 million users for things such as spelling, punctuation, and grammar checks. But that wasn't enough for the tech giant. They (probably) thought, "spelling and grammar checks are great and all but what we really want to do is influence and control the masses." Control is the biggest rave these days. Word will now highlight no-no words with a purple line beneath any problematic words or phrases that focus on gender, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity or even "socioeconomic status." Red lines are for spelling errors. Green lines for grammar mistakes. And now, purple lines are politically correct language police alerts. If you type a bigoted word like, let's say... "postman," Word will offer less offensive, gender-neutral alternatives like "mail carrier" or "postal worker." The software also suggests altering astronaut Neil Armstrong's famous quote from "one giant leap for mankind," to "humankind" or "humanity" instead. Who knew Neil Armstrong was such a sexist bigot... Microsoft Word knew. In the lyrics to Barry Manilow's party favourite Copacabana, Microsoft suggests Lola be referred to as a "dancer," "performer" or "performing artist" rather than a "showgirl." Word is not just policing your language (and by default, your thoughts) but it seems as though Microsoft wants us to re-write and re-imagine history by suggesting we change famous quotes. It also proposes changing "maid" to "house cleaner." Other changes include "headmaster" (Word suggests "principal"), "mistress" ("lover"), "master" ("expert"), "manpower" ("workforce") and "heroine" ("hero"). This isn't the first time Microsoft is cracking down on language, and it probably won't be the last! Just last year, Microsoft 365 tried to filter swearing and "bad behavior." Microsoft was also ridiculed in November over a video presentation showing senior execs introducing themselves by citing their race and gender pronouns. Marketing manager Nic Fillingham was filmed saying: "I'm a Caucasian man with glasses and a beard. I go by he/him."

A Federal Agency Has Begun Collecting Names & Religious Exemption Records https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/jan/11/biden-administration-planning-lists-employees-seek/ The Washington Times reports: An obscure federal agency has proposed creating a database capturing the names and “personal religious information” of government employees who submit “religious accommodation requests” to be exempted from the Biden administration's COVID-19 vaccine mandate. At least seven other federal agencies, including five Cabinet departments, are apparently setting up similar “personal religious information” databases, according to an analyst at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank in the District. The federal Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia, or CSOSA, published a “notice of a new system of records” in the Federal Register on Tuesday. The agency, which supervises defendants awaiting trial as well as parolees, aims to “reduce recidivism” and “integrate offenders into the community by connecting them with resources and interventions.” The federal departments of Treasury, the Interior, Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, and Transportation, as well as the General Services Administration and the Securities and Exchange Commission, have each published proposed rule-makings to implement “systems of records” tracking their workers' religious accommodation requests. While there is “some data collection that is likely and legally permissible under Title VII, when an individual at a covered agency requests a religious accommodation,” Sarah Parshall Perry, a legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation's Institute for Constitutional Government, said, “we have not seen it on a broad scale like this ever.” President Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal workers took effect Nov. 22 under an executive order he issued Sept. 9. The executive order said its terms were “subject to such exceptions as required by law.” “We're not clear on what personal religious information is going to be gathered” under the CSOSA proposal, Ms. Perry said, adding that numerous sticky questions will come up. “How does one as a federal agency determine the sincerity or lack thereof of an individual's religious beliefs?” she asked rhetorically. “Normally, information like that goes directly to the [Equal Employment Opportunity Commission] and is maintained for internal purposes, just in the case that there is a future dispute about whether or not religious discrimination exists. However, we're not told why or how this information is being used. And that smacks of religious discrimination on a grand scale.” Psalm of the Day: 23 0:20-0:54, 3:33-4:11 The King of Love my shepherd is… Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise, within thy house forever.

Modern culture increasingly encroaches on unknown, uncharted space, both geographical and mental. This primordial space is accessed during times when we unplug, slow down, and allow ourselves to incubate and connect to a deeper rhythm. Traditionally, this space was accessed in trance rituals, in journeys to underworlds and otherworlds and in festivals which exist outside of mundane time. Access to this space is the true intention of the holidays — the holy days — that are meant to be time outside of time and so serve as portals to the eternal, to true unknown wild. Yet in the modern vision, this unknown space must be quantified, categorized, mapped, and regurgitated into a commodity at all costs. Why? Beyond the obvious monetary implications, the want to colonize these imaginal slow spaces stems from a deep-seated fear — the fear of nature, of an order that exists beyond our control... and the fear that if we succumb to this larger order we may experience the annihilation of our mundane concerns and encounter instead a world that operates in slow, spiraling, billion-year cycles that have very little to do with us. Yet we vitally need these unknown spaces. Defined, articulated access to unknown space is essential to maintaining our alignment to the greater rhythms of the world around us and is therefore vital to the process of planning for and creating lasting change. In a world that is facing the consequences of its own addiction to urgency and anxiousness, access to such spaces remains essential, even in the midst of all that needs to be addressed right now. Special guest Leah Song from Rising Appalachia chimes in for this episode on the ongoing necessity of access to the deep, slow, primordial and wild.Support the show (http://www.patreon.com/theemeraldpodcast)

Each hermit, a monk who is or who will be a priest, has his own living space, called a cell, usually consisting of a small dwelling. Traditionally there is a one-room lower floor for the storage of wood for a stove and a workshop as all monks engage in some manual labour. A second floor consists of a small entryway with an image of the Virgin Mary as a place of prayer and a larger room containing a bed, a table for eating meals, a desk for study, a choir stall, and a kneeler for prayer. Each cell has a high walled garden wherein the monk may meditate as well as grow flowers for himself and/or vegetables for the common good of the community, as a form of physical exercise.[12]Next to the door is a small revolving compartment, called a "turn", so that meals and other items may be passed in and out of the cell without the hermit having to meet the bearer. Most meals are provided in this manner, which the hermit then eats in the solitude of his cell. There are two meals provided for much of the year: lunch and supper. During seasons or days of fasting, just one meal is provided. The hermit makes his needs known to the lay brother by means of a note, requesting items such as a fresh loaf of bread, which will be kept in the cell for eating with several meals. Carthusians observe a perpetual abstinence from meat.[10]The hermit spends most of his day in the cell: he meditates, prays the minor hours of the Liturgy of the Hours on his own, eats, studies and writes, and works in his garden or at some manual trade. Unless required by other duties, the Carthusian hermit leaves his cell daily only for three prayer services in the monastery chapel, including the community Mass, and occasionally for conferences with his superior. Additionally, once a week, the community members take a long walk in the countryside during which they may speak. On Sundays and solemn feast days a community meal is taken in silence.[6] Twice a year there is a day-long community recreation, and the monk may receive an annual visit from immediate family members ////LIST////Domaine des Rutissons, IGP Isere, 'Verdesse,' 2020  //Domaine Finot, Coteaux Gresivaudan Persan, 2018 ////Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/Disgorgeous)

Traditionally at Ephiphany, we celebrate 3 mysteries through which Christ was revealed in Sacred Scripture - The Adoration of the Magi, the Baptism of the Lord, and the Wedding at Cana. We look at these three mysteries and contemplate the circumstances surrounding those mysteries to get a clearer idea of how Christ chooses to reveal himself today.

Hello everyone, Sadly, I missed last week's introduction into Clay-en's season due to a little virus known as COVID wrecking havoc on my immune system. I've been writing about this silly show for nearly twenty years, and the idea of missing an inaugural post of a brand new season just wouldn't do. Insisting I quarantine from my roommate Lara, I watched the glory of Clayton's season unfold on an iPad in my germ-infested room upstairs. I knew absolutely nothing leading up to that moment. Traditionally, Some Guy in Austin and I record a podcast detailing our top-tier picks of the season. Unfortunately, the aches in my bones and my eyelids' insistence on remaining droopy eighty percent of the day hindered me from adequately preparing for the great event. Instead of spending the week learning names and stalking Instagram accounts, I developed genuine feelings for my trusty bottle of NyQuil and a love/hate relationship with the act of swallowing. In other words, I went into this episode blind. And it was glorious. Some Guy in Austin and I discuss all the important things you need to know, like: Which icebreaker got the job done?Will Salley return in a future episode (yes)Was Claire bored? Drunk? Or both?Who are the frontrunners vying for Clay-en's heart?And should I continue to watch the show each week hopped up on NyQuil? I'm kidding. Or am I? EPISODE NOTES: Here's the recap for episode 1.

Dizi/ Deezi - Ab Ghousht Loves the paste made when the beans and meat are mashed together along with some sangak bread into a type of delicious, comforting paste Kaleh Paacheh - organ soup A super viscous soup made from cooked down head and hooves - in Iran most often prepared with lamb.  In the U.S., often made using beef.  Cooked with standard Persian base of friend onions and turmeric.  Traditionally also has Seville oranges (sour oranges).   Dan prefers it cooked fresh by his mom vs from a restaurant Aasheh Sholeh Ghalamkhar…to Dan, the most comforting of all Persian soups The ‘ugly step-sister' of the more popular, iconic Persian soup or aash, Aash Reshteh Made with meat, beans, and herbs   Tie in to Dan's new show on Food Networks, Raid the Fridge (first show Dec. 28th) What is the show - Four chefs and four mystery refrigerators.  Chefs will choose a fridge and create a meal, for example an omelet, using only the ingredients that are in their chosen fridge.  The winner is awarded $10k bucks! Use the ingredients you have to create Persian flavors and dishes Normalize Persian ingredients by incorporating them into other dishes - example, Dan loves to sprinkle ground limoo amani (Persian dried limes) on just about everything, especially on his ramen noodles!   References: Joon Rice Truck - mini tahchin in Queens Night Market Tahdig Tacos Vartamelon Reference to Chef Beeta Mohajari of Orange County Beetz Eats   Find more about Dan at https://www.standupdan.com and Dan Ahdoot (@standupdan)   All Modern Persian Food episodes can be found at: Episodes Co-host Beata Nazem Kelley blog: BeatsEats – Persian Girl Desperately Addicted to Food!

Women have everything it takes to be very successful, that is, more than average-level successful in STEM. We discuss: STEM opportunities that women might feel are not for them like roles in defense, physics, engineering, etc. pay extremely well so even though women would be fewer in numbers in these types of roles, they would be paid well, become independent professionals, and thrive in spite of existing challenges (more on that below). Making good money is the first step to having independence and doing well in your life regardless of personal challenges. I have lots of content on how to negotiate salary, job search, etc. Govt. salaries are public and modern policies make it so that it is considerably harder (officially) to discriminate against women, so if discrimination or harassment happens, women can address these issues now instead of living with them. This does not mean that things are perfect, the point is that policy and rules are supposed to help women get paid with equality and to address issues, so know your rights. Microaggressions against women and boys' clubs in the workplace still exist and can make it a hostile/unwelcoming environment for women. If this happens, and in spite of this, women can still thrive (not just survive) by typically being more focused than the boys-club-men, and by having a small network of high-achieving women to help them keep on track and help to pursue opportunities. It is extremely important to discuss day-to-day problems and pursue opportunities with the help of other women in your network, for example, a successful woman in your network knows about an opportunity that would be great for you, and then recommends you. This is how you can grow quickly rather than stay stuck where you are and also where you have problems (where you will go, you will have problems too, but at least, you would have progressed your career). Prioritize self-care and hire help. Traditionally, men have been able to be super successful with the help of their wives who took care of their lives, family obligations, etc. If you are to be successful, you need to realize that you can't do everything and it is highly encouraged to hire help like a housekeeper, nanny, lawncare - whatever you can afford. In high-paying jobs, chances are you can afford these and it is on you to pay for this help and help yourself get the rest you need and to practice self-care like taking a bath, getting a massage, eating, and sleeping well. If you don't do these, you will burn out and be less good at your job anyway, so these are not an option, these are essential. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/oindreebee/support

Traditionally, physicians have informed patients that long acting reversible contraceptives are “just as effective“ as female sterilization. While as a Class that statement is correct, not all individual LARCS have the same efficacy; one in particular beats all other birth control methods, hands-down. Do you know which one? In this session we will review key facts regarding female sterilization and review the individual efficacies of long acting reversible contraceptives. We will also review the historic “math model” for female sterilization.

The global pandemic that has stretched into its third year has seen not just a boom in digital sales but has ushered with it a change in how modern sellers can attract and engage with modern buyers. Traditional “spray and pray” methods that once worked, no longer have the same success rate, which has forced sales leaders to employ a new set of selling techniques. What exactly will work in 2022 for prospecting and building sales pipeline is the main topic of discussion I had with sales genius, Dan Tyre, in this episode of the Modern Selling Podcast. Dan Tyre, Director at HubSpot is one of the leading inbound marketing and sales experts on the planet. As a member of the original team in May of 2007, Dan has led the recruiting, training, and growth of HubSpot's sales team with vigor. Before HubSpot, Dan worked at four other startups of note: Businessland, as Area Director; ALI Technologies, as Founder & CEO; CelebraTech, as Co-Founder and VP of Sales; and Groove Networks, as Regional Manager. At HubSpot, Dan has pioneered the concept of alignment between sales and marketing known as "Smarketing," a core tenet of inbound marketing now followed by thousands of companies around the world. He's been instrumental in the creation and growth of several sales teams that are now thriving hives of activity at HubSpot. Dan continues to inspire and teach HubSpotters as a sales trainer, as a creator of the HubSpot Leadership program, as a blogger on the HubSpot blog. Dan's infectious high energy, especially when he talks about ‘marketing' is why I am so excited to welcome him as a guest on the Modern Selling Podcast. Download the full episode and get a taste of Dan's genius as he discusses the top sales strategies to use in 2022 to crush prospecting and better convert leads into loyal customers. How has Sales changed since 2020? I've seen a rapid evolution, here at Vengreso, with more and more companies seeking out our digital sales training courses such as Modern Sales Mastery for Teams. However, I wanted to hear Dan's insights and better understand the shifts he's seen happening and what he anticipates to come next in the world of sales. Dan shares, “I've read that over 1M sales jobs will disappear in the next 18 months. With the Great Resignation, the way that companies do business will have to change. Sales are no exception to this either. So, it's a must now than ever before to know how to be a better salesperson in 2022.” With my own sales teams, I've placed a heavy emphasis on making our sales calls, even if they are through Zoom, as interactive and engaging as possible. Modern buyers are much more sophisticated and skeptical than before, so finding ways to connect digitally with leads is critical to the success of the modern seller. Dan agrees, “Today we have to contend with the empowered buyer. This is someone who has done their research before they ever talk to a salesperson. They're going to know more about the basics of what they're looking to buy than they've ever had before and salespeople have to be ready to field in-depth questions.” Listen in to the conversation to hear what free sales resources Dan suggests that sales leaders have their teams complete to be successful in 2022. How to Win with Inbound Sales When it comes to finding data-driven ways to improve the sales process, Dan is the leading expert on what works and what will work well into the future. So, I asked him to share his expertise and insights on how sales teams can master the inbound sales process. Dan's unique six characteristics of a winning sales process is something we all should study and look to implement as soon as possible: Treat people like human beings. According to Dan, the emphasis has to be on connecting with your prospect, instead of looking to pitch them to buy. Build rapport, to establish trust first and foremost. Look to help, not sell. As I always say, selling is the art of helping – and Dan agrees. As sales professionals, we have to look to provide a solution as opposed to selling a product or service. Focus beats bandwidth. Traditionally, sales teams would take a ‘spray and pray' approach – going after volume in leads, instead of the quality of leads. Dan suggests honing in on one particular buyer persona and mastering selling to them first. Solve a problem. As with #2, when sales teams can offer solutions to their customers' problems, then they'll get much farther in their sales outreach attempts. Customer experience is the only sustainable advantage. Dan explains that the average company has 47 competitors in the marketplace. So chances are very good that someone offers the exact same service or product that you do. The difference for leads often comes down to the customer experience.  Manage sales data. This is where the role of Revenue Operations is so important. To learn more about this and AI-driven sales enablement, check out my podcast with Howard Brown. Dan provides a host of other tips and strategies you won't want to miss. Tune into the full episode to hear his sales advice and what you should be doing now to stand out in your sales conversations. Strategies for Prospecting in 2022 While we were on the discussion of what's likely to work in the future, I wanted Dan to share his perspective on prospecting. I know at Vengreso, over the past four years when we surveyed sales professionals, prospecting has continually been ranked as the hardest part of the sales cycle. In fact, out of 1,295 sales reps polled in November 2021, 69% of them said that prospecting was the most time-consuming step. So, I was curious to hear Dan's advice based on his 40+ years of sales experience. The guidance he shared is very similar to what I teach our new sales reps in their onboarding training. Dan suggests that when prospecting, especially during cold calling to: Always stand up and smile – this helps you bring high energy and engagement to the call. Thank the prospect for answering the phone – how often are we thanked for picking up the phone? Dan says that this alone is a game-changer for sales reps. Introduce yourself and pause to hear their response – prospecting is your first chance to have a conversation with the hopes of building a relationship with your lead. There's no better way to do this than to give your prospect plenty of opportunities to speak (without you launching into a full-blown sales pitch).

In today's episode, Rusty and Robyn talk with Brie Williams, Vice President and Head of Practice Management at SPDR Exchange Traded Funds. Women make up half of the population, but they are vastly underrepresented in the investment industry.  Traditionally, they have been economically disadvantaged relative to their male counterparts.  In recent years, however, there has been a changing role for women as financial decision-makers. How can financial advisors help women break through the barrier of navigating into the investing world?

In the second part of his interview, renowned agri-consultant Matt Ryan joins Emma-Louise Coffey on this week's Dairy Edge podcast to discuss practices that dairy farmers have adopted in an effort to achieve technical excellence. Traditionally, dairy farmers had extended housing periods where cows got out to grass in April or May and in 1993, Matt travelled to New Zealand which was an eye opening experience in terms of extended grazing through use of the spring rotation planner. Matt explains that the target at this time was to get out 1-2 weeks earlier and house 1-2 weeks later compared with previous years and in the early 90s, he estimates there was a £1 benefit per cow per day. When milk price moved to an A+B-C system, the focus turned to improving fat and protein constituents. Protein was particularly low owing to Shorthorn and British Friesian genetics and breeding focus for predicted fat and protein %, coupled with improved fertility and grassland management, means that the average Irish farmer has a current protein of 3.5%.

Being the end of the year, I want to look back and reflect on what worked and what didn't so 2022 can be even better! Here are my top six lessons! 1) The world is a different place. We are not going back to the way it was. It is the way is will be right now.  We are going on year three of dealing with COVID, regardless of how you feel about it. People's buying habits have changed and we have to adapt to that. Our businesses needs to shift and change and we need to offer something new. Is this one of your lessons? 2) Physical therapists are still afraid of talking about money.Money can do amazing things. You should not be afraid to talk about money. It's still circulating and it's you job to go out and find your money and do great things with it.  What could you do with your money if you had too much? Go find your money. Don't wait for it to find you. 3) Crypto is here to stay. And it is producing the next generation of generational wealth holders. Traditionally, generational wealth has been passed down between real estate and  land. There's always something new coming around the corner. The real way to learn it is to get into it. It's here. Don't ignore it. Understand it. 4) Business is a long game.Even in uncertain times, when you solve a BIG problem, put in the work and lay a foundation, your business will thrive. I'm looking for big plays, and I know they will take time. When you follow a roadmap, success will happen. Don't just create a job for yourself. Think about the next step. 5) Next year will be even better…...as long as you don't stop and never quit. Every year in my business has been better than the last. We have to focus on the quality of our business movement, not just quantity. You have to have a good team that believes in your mission. You have to have systems in place that allow you to take vacation, or open another location. If your trend is downwards, then what can we do to change it? 6) When you live by default you get what you got. When you live by design you get what you want.I belong to a mastermind and I have a coach. That may seem like a lot but its isn't for my pace. I not going to just wait around and take what's given to me. I am going to make my own fate. What are the things I need to keep doing and what are the things I can have other people do? And what do I need to start doing. Being a business owner isn't for everyone, and if it isn't for you, then it's okay to quit and do what is best for you. Figure out what you want and then go out and get it. I've heard way more excuses this past year than ever before. If someone is doing something, what's the difference between you and them? Be quick to ask for help because it's the fastest way to get what you want.

This year the V&A Waterfront will again celebrate the New Year by shining a beam of light into the sky that will be visible for some distance across Cape Town. Traditionally the New Year was ushered in with a fireworks celebration at midnight, but in 2020 the Waterfront looked for a new way to celebrate the milestone and chose a beam of light as their new symbol to welcome in the New Year. Donald Kau, spokesperson of the V&A Waterfront joins us to tells more about the new way of ushering in the New Year. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Having a baby and knowing about starting solids can be scary, confusing and overwhelming. Our guest today walks us through it all! Caitlyn Edson is a pediatric registered dietitian specializing in infants, toddlers, and young children. She is sharing all the tips to help parents feel secure and confident to start feeding their baby! She has a passion for helping people feed their families confidently in a way that feels manageable. Caitlyn works with families of children starting solids (particularly baby led weaning), picky eaters, those with growth struggles, youth athletes, and more! Grab her free starting solids guide here! Age to Start Solids There are certain signs of readiness when it comes to starting solids. Here are the main ones: Sit unassisted: not necessarily long periods of time but at least a couple seconds or in high chair being able to sit upright.Loss of tongue thrust reflex: when you put something into their mouth you don't want them to push it out of their mouth.Show interest in food: things like them watching you closely when you eat, grabbing for your food, etc. Traditionally we used to start feeding at 4 months but current research shows these readiness skills happen closer to 6 months. But it really depends on the baby. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends closer to 6 months. How to Start Feeding Your Baby There are many correct ways to start feeding your baby, you need to do what works best and feels right for you and your family. While there are things you shouldn't do, like starting too young or feed foods that are not the right consistency for their stage, overall their really isn't a wrong way to get started. There are two main avenues with starting solids: Baby led weaning- the premise behind this feeding technique is infant self feeding, giving the baby real whole foods in a safe consistency. While some say you don't do purees at all with Baby Led Weaning, it isn't necessarily true. The idea is you want to get the infant to feed themselves. So you put the puree on the spoon and put it in their hand and they get it in their mouth.Puree feeding- starting with purees can mean making your own or buying premade foods. You can choose foods that are naturally soft like bananas, apple sauce, yogurt or you can create your own by cooking foods and blending them. Before you start any feeding, it's a good idea to take a cpr class and learn the difference between gagging and choking because gagging is normal. You never want to stick your finger in a gagging baby's mouth because it can cause choking. What Foods to Introduce First Overall, you can really start with any foods you prefer. However there are a few things to avoid or think about: Avoid allergens if you have a family history and your pediatrician recommends it. Avoid honey until they are 12 months old.Better to avoid added salt and sugar until they are older. Not only are their bodies not able to process it well, but the flavors are too strong for them.Things like meat can be hard for babies to eat due to the consistency so you may want to avoid it until they are older. We use to say to start with rice cereal but that isn't necessarily the case. You can start with anything now! Starting with softer foods is a good first step. Things like avocado and bananas, or cooked foods like apples, zucchini, sweet potatoes and squash. You want to cut the foods into long thin strips when first starting because they use their 4 fingers to pick up and it's easier for them. Once they hit 9-10 months old, they develop a pincer grasp where they are able to pick up smaller pieces. How Much to Feed Per Meal Babies are good at instinctively knowing how much to eat, but with new eaters you should start small. It can be overwhelming to have a plate loaded with food so putting a small amount on the plate will make it easier for them. A teaspoon or a tablespoon of a food or one piec...

So they made signs, asking his father what he wished him to be called.  He asked for a tablet and wrote, “John is his name,” and all were amazed.  Immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue freed, and he spoke blessing God.  Luke 1:62–64Our beautiful story continues as we grow closer to our Christmas Day celebration of the Birth of Christ.  Today we once again reflect upon the person of Zechariah, the father of Saint John the Baptist.  We recall how God blessed him and Elizabeth with this miraculous pregnancy at an old age after being barren.  The Angel Gabriel appeared to Zechariah in the temple to reveal this glorious event, but Zechariah received it with disbelief.  The result was that he was struck mute until this, the day of his birth.Today's Gospel reveals how Zechariah untied the knot of his disbelief.  He did so by following the command of the angel to name the child “John.”  Traditionally, their first born would be named Zechariah after his father.  But God had picked the name “John” and, therefore, both Zechariah and Elizabeth are given the opportunity to embrace and manifest their faith by accepting the name given to their child by God.In a sense, we can say that Zechariah “righted his wrong.”  He righted it by making the choice of faith and acting on it.  This is a great witness for all of us because all of us have failed in faith in one way or another.  In the case of Zechariah, God punished him severely, stripping away his ability to speak.  But what we see today is that this “stripping” of Zechariah's speech was not done primarily as a punishment, but so that God could manifest His glory through Zechariah's manifestation of his faith.  People are “amazed” at Zechariah as he fulfills this act of faith and names his newborn child “John.”  Thus his suffering is now a manifestation of the glory of God!In all of our lives, we can regularly point to failures of faith.  Sometimes, God sees fit to impose a severe “punishment” upon us as a result.  We may endure some suffering or hardship for our failure to heed His voice wholeheartedly.  But know that any “punishment” from God is not primarily a result of his wrath.  Rather, most often the consequences of any lack of faith is permitted by God because He has something greater in mind.  In this case, it was so that He could loose the tongue of Zechariah at the proper moment so that he could glorify God with great faith.  In our lives, we should look for Him to do the same.Reflect, today, upon any hardship you have endured as a result of your own weakness, sin or lack of faith.  Do not see any hardship as a punishment in the normal sense of that word.  Rather, see it as an opportunity through which God is calling you to give Him even greater glory.Lord, I know I lack faith in my life.  I fail to believe all that You speak to me.  As a result, I often fail to put Your words into action.  Dear Lord, when I suffer as a result of my weakness, help me to know that this and all suffering can result in giving glory to You if I renew my faith.  Help me, like Zechariah, to return to You always, and use me as an instrument of Your manifest glory.  Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2021 My Catholic Life!

For those of us who live in the Northern Hemisphere, we're right on the other side of the winter solstice. Traditionally, this is a time when we hunker down, take an inventory on our lives perhaps, and sense into what survives the enveloping dark. When we pay close attention, we're comforted to discover the light that the darkness never overcomes.  Also, check out Thomas's new online course, Gospel Meets Dharma: The Dance of Buddhism and Christianity in the 21st Century.

We are coming to the end of 2021, and it's a great time to talk about Themes. These aren't goals or resolutions for the New Year. But instead, overarching themes for your New Year or even next season.    Traditionally you might start a New Years' resolution, but these goals tend to be strict and ridged on the intended action. Say “work out every day” or “lose 10 lbs by x date”. And when we miss a day or don't achieve our goal, it derails the entire resolution, and we then have “failed.” Instead, a theme is a word or short sentence that guides you through the year or season to make more decisions towards your said theme.    My 2021 theme was Year of Discovery, so I chose activities that would let me “discover” something new throughout the year. As long as you move forward in choosing activities within your theme, you won't fail.    Themes help you avoid burnout. The broadness of themes means you can choose something different daily and still move forward with your theme. You will feel more accomplished at the end of the summer or year, having chosen activities within your theme.    Themes are easy to pivot and change as well. If you think you like learning via reading books but come to find you prefer to listen to books with your theme as “winter of learning,” you are staying within your theme and keeping motivated.    Theme can also be made seasonally to avoid the feeling like you have all year to get something done. It shortens down your time frame and pushes you toward your theme faster.   Themes are a different way to look at things and change your frame of mind.  If you want more info on Themes check out CGP Grey Join me for a live version of this podcast on Jan 2nd on World Introvert Day at 3 pm EST.

Good leaders often possess a combination of various “leadership qualities,” such as creativity, motivation, vision, and empathy. However, the most successful leaders are able to adapt to the needs of different situations, employing their diverse set of leadership skills in order to achieve their goals. Traditionally, the idea of feminine leadership is used as a kind of shorthand for an approach that places an emphasis on empathy, humility, and relationship dynamics in business practice. The result can deliver a more considered—rather than impulsive—decision-making process and subsequent action. Traits such as sensitivity, supportiveness, gentleness, warmth, cooperativeness, expressiveness, modesty, humility, empathy, tenderness, and being kind, helpful, devoted, and understanding have been cited as stereotypically feminine. But, Feminine Leadership belongs to all of us. It is a state of being that recognizes and understands the power of connecting, learning, sharing and evolving as a leader. Feminine leadership creates space for unique creativity, inclusiveness, collaboration and supportive competition. Those that step authentically into their feminine when leading are able to demonstrate insight, kindness and the desire to energetically connect to and unlock true potential in others. Listen in as Ela Staniak explains the Feminine Leaders Empowerment Methodology focusing on the three core pillars of alignment, beliefs and connection and the fundamentals of purpose, performance and creating the ultimate life!

If Jesus were coming over for Christmas dinner would you clean things up? Shine the silver? Traditionally, Advent was a time of peaceful reflection where our shortcomings become obvious in the light of pure love. In this message, Rev. Dr. Sarah Calvert encourages us to create space this Advent season, to see God in all that we do.

Pastor James Cottier, Fountain City Church. Traditionally, the season of Advent has been a time of helping us all prepare.  It is a season of preparation.  Christ has come to us, and Christ will come to us, and Advent is a time of preparing to meet him.  What does it mean to be ready to meet Christ?  Is there something required of me for when I do meet Christ?  How should I prepare so that I am ready? 

This week I explore and play with espresso roasts brewed with filter method. As such I chose our Bolivian espresso with the ibrik/Cezve. Traditionally, I'll go for a light natural coffee on ibrik to extract all those amazing fruity sweetness. This time, with a medium-light espresso roast from Bolivia, I try to minimize over-extraction and get a clean tasting cup of coffee

The fact that we're seeing an astronomical increase in everything from obesity, to cancer and depression should come as no surprise. Nearly every part of our lives has been contaminated, and our hormones are out of whack as a collective because of it, paving the way for all sorts of ailments.    The question is, if contamination is so widespread, is it even possible to ‘fix' our hormone levels? How do we begin to heal ourselves when so much of modern life is based on the factors that could put our very species at risk?   In this episode, internal medicine and hormone/peptide specialist at Medical Health Institute, Dr Rudy Eberwein shares the key to getting our hormones (and our lives!) back on track.    Three Curiosity-Driven Takeaways    Who stands to suffer the most from hormonal issues Traditionally, older men have been the ones to experience a drop in testosterone, but that's no longer the case. Which age group is suffering the most from the environmental factors causing hormone issues, today?   Why testosterone isn't necessarily linked to aggression If testosterone isn't the cause of increased aggression in men, what is?    The importance of achieving true balance in life What are the benefits of striking a balance between being full of energy and being centered and more calm?   Guest Bio-  Dr Rudy Eberwein is an internal medicine and hormone/peptide specialist. Also the founder of and Medical Doctor at A New You Weight Loss and Rejuvenation Center, Dr Rudy is passionate about helping his patients achieve a state of optimal health through a combination of lifestyle changes and targeted hormone and nutrition therapies.  To find out more, go to:  http://www.medicalhealthinstitute.com https://www.instagram.com/medicalhealthinstitute/?hl=en  https://www.instagram.com/lowtdoc/  https://www.facebook.com/MedicalHealthInstitute/

The Advent Meditations are an annual habit of the Faber Institute, offered in support of expanding and deepening your spiritual practice during the season of Advent. Traditionally offered in a written form, this year The Advent Meditations have been reimagined as audio meditations composed and presented by Tara Ludwig of the Institute. On each of the four Sunday mornings of Advent, you will receive an invitation to explore a traditional Advent scripture, via an e-mail link that will lead you to that week's audio meditation. The Meditations aim to enrich your experience of Advent not by “adding” something to your busy to-do list, but by helping you to become more alert and awake to how God is laboring in all that you are already doing to prepare for Christmas. May these meditations be a blessing to you as you await in joyful hope the coming of Emmanuel, “God with us”.

Traditionally, glancing around the campfire, more males than females were sharing each other's company and love of the outdoors.  Why?  Typically, women were not given an opportunity to learn outdoor skills as girls or young adults.  A variety of barriers prevented women from participating in outdoor recreation, especially hunting.  Expense and availability of suitable clothing was one barrier.  Manufacturers typically catered to their large market of male hunters, which forced ladies to search through their boyfriends' or their husbands' clothing only to come up with something that pinches in the chest, sags in the waist, and sleeves which covered their fingertips.  Equipment, gear and accessories were other barriers.Tradition was also a barrier.  Boys typically got the guns, and the girls got the dolls.Some of these barriers are beyond our control, but others can be removed if we simply educate ourselves.  Several of the barriers discussed relate to lack of opportunities for women, and that is a barrier that is rapidly breaking down in today's culture.   Major outdoor retailers and hunting industries are taking notice to the growing population of women who are engaging in more outdoor activities, including hunting.  Fortunately, today one can walk into any retailer and peruse the hunting department and find an entire section of clothing exclusively made for women.  Women hold the key to the future of outdoor activities for all of us.  They are participating in the sport because they want to.  They are more environmentally aware and educated about conservation issues and wildlife management.  Most importantly, these ladies will introduce their children to these activities and ensure our future of hunting will continue for generations to come.  When you recruit and empower the mom, she will involve the entire family!Enjoy!!

‘Tis the season, right? Traditionally, this time of year celebrates spirituality and festivities – including Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa. In modern day America, however, the Winter Solstice signals the faithful to gather from afar in monumental temples to worship our nation's supreme secular deity: Big Time Sports! Get ready for a non-stop frenzy of football, basketball, soccer, and more – with devout fans making tribal pilgrimages to their sacred stadiums and arenas. But whatever the sport, the name of the game these days is the same: M-O-N-E-Y, for the people's sport franchises are firmly in the grip of a self-regulating handful of secretive, überrich, autocratic, corporate owners. We might worship the team that actually plays the sport, but our money mostly goes to this ruling clique of billionaire barons. Consider those gargantuan houses of worship where the games are played. We The People (including non-worshipers) paid for nearly all of them with tax dollars, usually with no chance to vote on the giveaway. Yet, a few dozen profiteering team owners are given control of the venues. They set and collect the outrageous ticket prices and are even allowed to gouge the faithful by charging $15 for one small beer! Most insulting, these rich public welfare moochers pocket millions of extra dollars a year by turning these huge edifices (even those built with the people's money) into private billboards by selling off the so-called “naming rights” to the highest corporate bidders. Thus, dozens of our major sports facilities don't honor the cities they're in, the citizenry, or even the team. Instead they're gaudily plastered with brand names like FedEx Field, Minute Maid Park, RCA Dome, and Toyota Center – as though they're corporate owned. The money game is yet another corporate swindle, made even more corrupt by its expropriation of America's sporting spirit for private greed.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and ButcherBox. As the science of longevity has exploded in recent years, we have more access to innovative therapies, techniques, knowledge, and technology than ever before. Traditionally, we view aging as an inevitable consequence that happens to our bodies as we get older. We think that as we gain more years of life, it is a given that we begin to slow down, become less agile, lose our memories, and gain more chronic diseases. We define these things as “aging” when they're actually signs of dis-ease that can be prevented and often even reversed. In this episode of my new MasterClass series, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about creating vibrant, optimal health, to feel younger at any age. We discuss the latest science on whole-body health and longevity and share simple, accessible tips that you can use right now to start feeling younger at any age.

Traditionally, Mondays are the easiest crosswords of the week, designed to appeal to novice solvers, and today's puzzle certainly lives up to the tradition. It included a lot of old favorites, --  40A, Degs. for entrepreneurs, MBAS;  18A, Taj Mahal locale, AGRA; and 63A, Nintendo competitor, SEGA. It also had, once again, a clue that Mike fell for (insert analogy with Charlie Brown, Lucy, and football  right here), 12D, Prez dispenser?, ATM (ha!). One day he'll spot that ATM clue ... maybe ...

Traditionally when we set our business goals, we do so around a certain dollar amount or hitting a specific number. The challenge with this approach is that it doesn't truly spark our motivation, because believe it or not, most of us aren't actually money-focused people.  What's the most productive way to set our goals, and how do we start identifying what actually drives us?  In this episode, I share how to start setting goals that inspire and fuel you to take action.  Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode  How to set goals that keep you motivated and focused  When it comes to setting goals, money is just a means to an end. How do we identify what we're really after?  The path to productive goal setting  What do we need to ask ourselves in order to set our goals more effectively?  How to set goals around what inspires you If you love helping and serving people, how do you make that part of the goals you set?

Over the holiday season here, we're running some of our favorite episodes from years past. This one is with Mike Schneider, who actually has taken another role since this show was recorded. Other than that, the information that Mike shares during this episode from 2020 is all good. So, let's do this thing. Disclaimer before we get started here: This show is probably a 300-level class in pharmaceutical/PBM relations. If you are tuning in for the first time and you aren't pretty familiar with the role of PBMs, I would go back and listen to, say, episode 241 with Vinay Patel or episode 166 with Tim Thomas from Crystal Clear Rx. OK, now that that's out of the way, if you're still with me, this episode is like a ride on a roller coaster. I talk with Mike Schneider. And we get into, you know, kinda deeply, the what and the why behind the “Big Three” traditional PBMs deciding that now might be a fantastic time to set up GPOs. PBMs are pharmacy benefit managers—there's three huge ones. GPO stands for group purchasing organization. Traditionally, these GPOs have purchased drugs and supplies for hospitals and other providers at, according to their marketing materials, volume discounts. So, the unfolding story here, in a nutshell, is that ESI (Express Scripts) set up a GPO called Ascent in Switzerland. Optum has had an Ireland operation going in full swing for a while. And now we have CVS Caremark setting up a GPO called Zinc. These GPOs are not like normal GPOs working with hospitals, but instead, these GPOs are the entity which is now going to negotiate with pharma companies. In the past, it was the PBM that was negotiating with the pharma company to get rebates. Now it's this GPO entity. “But wait,” you may say. “Wasn't there an executive order the other day requiring PBMs to, for example, pass through all of the rebates that they're collecting to patients?” Indeed, there was. And that rule doesn't say anything about GPOs having to do the same, especially GPOs in, let's just say, Switzerland. It's a tangled web we weave.

“Why don't some large countries just print a little bit of money and buy bitcoin and stick it on their reserves for example; and if you were to see those cracks in the dam start to appear, and you were to start to see that happening, that's potentially a really explosive moment.”— Lyn AldenLocation: RemoteDate: Monday 22nd NovemberProject: lynalden.comRole: MacroeconomistIn the last month alone, Bitcoin has hit all-time high prices, Bitcoin on exchanges has hit multi-year lows, and El Salvador announced a $1 billion Bitcoin bond to fund the development of a Bitcoin city.At the same time, economic signals have started to flash red. Inflation is on the rise: it's hit 6.2% in the US and is rising at the fastest rate in decades. Traditionally strong bond markets are under pressure and currencies in some parts of the world show signs of distress. The dichotomy is that whilst some search for safe havens, with the lack of a positive yielding bond market, many are looking to riskier assets. The economic conditions for bitcoin to become a recognised international gold-like reserve asset are upon us. The scope and scale of bitcoin adoption suggest that major players are literally buying into this narrative. In this interview, I talk to macroeconomist and investment strategist Lyn Alden. We discuss the lack of yield in bond markets, El Salvador's bitcoin bonds, inflation and the direction and role of the Fed.This episode's sponsors:Gemini - Buy Bitcoin instantlyBlockFi - The future of Bitcoin financial servicesSportsbet.io - Online sportsbook & casino that accepts BitcoinCasa - The leading provider of Bitcoin multisig key security.Exodus - The world's leading Desktop, Mobile and Hardware crypto wallets.Ledger - State of the art Bitcoin hardware walletCompass Mining - Bitcoin mining & hosting-----WBD427 - Show Notes-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show by doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: BitcoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | Deezer | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.
