From Bob Marley to Chogyam Trungpa and Ram Dass, David and Raghu explore the many paths that lead us back to one love.This time on Mindrolling, David and Raghu discuss:David's work filming Bob Marley The attempted assassination of Bob Marley in Jamaica, 1976 David's encounter with Bob after his cancer diagnosis The profound impact of Bob Marley on David Silver's lifeThe many forms that transformation comes inAn explanation of Mahayana Buddhism How Chogyam Trungpa made complicated concepts more practicalTrungpa's teachings in Training the Mind and Cultivating Loving KindnessRam Dass's book There is No OtherCheck out the book recommended by David in this episode: A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James “Bob's friendship had metamorphosed my whole life. His magnitude as a divine messenger was enough to change me. That coupled with the most potent music I'd ever heard was enough to seep Bob's special essence into my own heart and recover me so often from despair, doubt, or depression.” –David SilverAbout David Silver:David Silver is the former co-host of the Mindrolling podcast. He is a filmmaker and director, most recently coming out with Brilliant Disguise. Brilliant Disguise tells the unique story of a group of inspired Western spiritual seekers from the 60s, who in meeting the great American teacher, Ram Dass, followed him to India to meet his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba, familiarly known as Maharaj-ji. Two days before he left his body, Maharaj-ji instructed K.C. Tewari to take care of the Westerners, which he did resolutely until the day he died in 1997. Silver's #1 charting MGM/UA/Warners film, “The Compleat Beatles” is the critically acclaimed biopic movie about history's most famous band. The term ‘rockumentary' was first applied to this two-hour movie. Rolling Stone recently described the film as a “masterwork.” Silver's Warner Brothers' feature film, “No Nukes” also started the whole trend of music/activism feature documentaries. Be on the lookout for David's upcoming book! “The idea that we are alone and striving alone is corrosive. As soon as we can overcome that, we find an even deeper pleasure but it has nothing to do with acquisition, competition, and matters of repeated forms of hatred and animosity.” –David SilverSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our most dreaded workouts, hill running for Easy Days, “super trainers”, and how much should you expect to improve?
Tomasz (Tomek) Kowalski is a triathlon coach with a great track record of athletes racing Kona, among them age-group world champions and podium finishers. With the IRONMAN World Championship coming up again in Kona we cover everything age-group triathletes need to know to have a successful race there, including when to fly out, training and tapering on the island, heat preparation at home, equipment choices, and pacing, fuelling and hydration on race day.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:The single most common reason a Kona race goes wrong for age-groupers, and roughly how much of the damage it accounts for.When to fly out: the time-zone rule of thumb, the trade-off between arriving early and arriving fresh, and whether you need to fully adapt to Hawaiian time at all.Training on the island: how much lower your watts and paces can be at the same RPE, how long the last long ride and run should be, and whether to keep touching threshold in the final three weeks.Swimming in the last ten days: open water or pool, how to structure an open water session with no buoys to swim between, and how to use the Hoʻala training swim.Heat preparation before you travel: a hot water immersion protocol with durations and water temperature, and why using a CORE temperature sensor or sweat testing gets less weight than you might expect.Kit for the heat: aero or road helmet, visor or no visor, three headwear options for the run, and whether to change from trisuit to running kit in T2.Pacing the swim, bike and run: how many watts to expect to give up compared with a cooler Ironman, and how the impact of the rollers changes depending on how strong a cyclist you are.Fuelling and hydration in the heat: the body mass loss on the bike that puts your run at risk, and how easily caffeine intake creeps too high.SHOWNOTES, LINKS, RESOURCES AND RELATED EPISODES:That Triathlon Show Community on ROUVYThat Triatlon Show Group Ride on ROUVY - 5 October, 18:00 CET (12pm ET, 9am PT), 25 km / 15.5 miles on the Kona bike course.

Cody discusses how his sprint training has evolved toward a simpler, more dynamic, and intuitive approach. He explores the role of tempo running as both aerobic work and a high-volume elastic stimulus, building lower-leg capacity and preparing the body for faster sprinting. Cody also shares thoughts on flexible warm-ups, training around real-life constraints, general-to-specific strength development, resisted and loaded sprinting, and why experimentation and self-awareness can be powerful tools for long-term speed development.

View This Week's Show NotesStart Your 7-Day Trial to Mobility CoachJoin Our Free Weekly Newsletter: The AmbushWhat if the fitness metrics you're obsessing over aren't telling you what you think they are? HRV. VO2 max. Resting heart rate. Zone 2. Wearables have given us more data than ever… but do you know how to use it to inform your training?In this episode of the Ready State Podcast, Kelly and Juliet Starrett sit down with renowned strength and conditioning coach Joel Jamieson to cut through the noise around cardiovascular fitness, recovery, and resilience. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience coaching UFC champions, Olympic athletes, special operators, and professional sports teams, Joel explains why a higher HRV isn't always “better,” what Zone 2 training is really trying to accomplish, and why your aerobic engine matters even if endurance sports aren't your thing.They also explore how to balance low, moderate, and high-intensity training, practical ways to measure whether your conditioning is actually improving, and why stress outside the gym has to factor into how you train. The takeaway? Better fitness isn't about chasing a perfect score – but about understanding what your body can handle, how well it recovers, and how to train accordingly.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy a higher HRV doesn't always mean you're better recoveredWhat Zone 2 training is actually trying to accomplishWhy cardiovascular fitness is important for improving resilienceHow to balance low, moderate, & high-intensity conditioningWhy stress outside the gym should influence how you trainKey Highlights: (00:00) Intro: Joel Jamieson on HRV & Conditioning(03:33) The HRV Problem for Midlife Athletes(05:13) What Is HRV?(09:41) The Evolution of HRV Tracking(13:32) What's a Good HRV?(16:18) Morning vs Overnight HRV(20:49) Why Higher HRV Isn't Always Better(24:00) HRV, Resting Heart Rate, & Heart Rate Recovery(26:50) Chest Strap vs Wrist-Based HRV(29:33) How to Improve Your HRV(34:10) How Fast Cardiovascular Fitness Declines(37:53) Training Intensity Zones Explained(43:30) Low, Moderate, & High Intensity Training(45:59) Why Low-Intensity Training Builds VO2 Max(48:33) Is VO2 Max Testing Worth It?(51:04) The Cooper's Test(55:09) How Fast Can Conditioning Improve?(59:55) Team Athletes & Recovery(1:01:46) Life Stress, HRV, & Training(1:04:00) Lifestyle Sets Your Gym Limits(1:05:21) Infinite ShelfHuge thanks to our sponsors,Momentous, LMNT, and BEDGEAR.
What if one of the most important parts of your ultramarathon training isn't another long run, hill workout, or strength session? What if it's training your mind? In this episode of Run the Riot, I sit down with ultrarunner, clinical hypnotherapist, mindset coach, and NLP practitioner Holly Grahn, founder of Hypno Gold. Holly recently completed her first 200-mile race at the Divide 200, and we dig into what it took to prepare for that kind of challenge—not only physically, but mentally. Holly shares how she used visualization, mental rehearsal, positive reframing, gratitude, and self-hypnosis before the race so that when things got difficult, her mind was already trained to look for a way forward. And things definitely got difficult. We talk about sore feet, massive climbs, long stretches between aid stations, pouring rain, hallucinating a monkey wearing sunglasses, catching her boyfriend Rob around mile 100, and ultimately finishing their first 200 miler together. But this conversation goes much deeper than racing. Holly explains how the beliefs we carry about ourselves can affect the way we train, race, work, and live. We talk about self-doubt, fear, anxiety, feeling like we're "not good enough," and why simply telling yourself to be positive isn't always enough. Holly also explains what hypnotherapy actually is—and what it isn't—and how she works with athletes and other high performers to identify thought patterns that may be holding them back. We talk about: • Holly's journey from a shy kid who struggled with self-esteem to ultrarunner and hypnotherapist • Her early ultramarathons and the lessons she learned the hard way • Preparing physically and mentally for the Divide 200 • Why mental training should happen before race day • Visualization and mental rehearsal for difficult race situations • Turning negative thoughts into useful beliefs • Looking for evidence that supports the person you want to become • Talking to yourself like you would talk to a friend • Gratitude as a tool when an ultra gets difficult • Breaking huge challenges into the next aid station—or even the next step • Learning from DNFs rather than allowing them to define you • Why identity affects behavior • What hypnotherapy actually feels like • The difference between stage hypnosis and clinical hypnotherapy • Self-doubt, anxiety, fear, sleep, procrastination, and self-sabotage • The Hypno Gold app Holly created for athletes and high performers • Why there may be much more inside you than you've discovered yet One practical takeaway from Holly that I really liked: write down a negative belief you're carrying, rewrite it into something that moves you toward your goal, and then start looking for actual evidence that supports the new belief. Training the body matters. But when you've been moving for days, you're exhausted, your feet hurt, and everything inside you is telling you to stop, your mind becomes part of the equipment you're carrying. ### Connect with Holly Grahn **Hypno Gold:** https://www.hypnogold.com/ **Hypno Gold App:** https://hypnogold.passion.io/ **Instagram:** @hypno_gold_app **Facebook:** Hypno Gold **Schedule a session with Holly:** https://schedulewithhypnoholly.as.me/ **Email:** info@hypnogold.com Holly's Hypno Gold app includes sessions covering areas such as performance, mindset, sleep, anxiety, procrastination, self-sabotage, emotional healing, and personal growth.

Control can look a lot like leadership. But it's control. In this episode of Roots of Success, McFarlin Stanford facilitator Kevin Keim tackles one of the most expensive blind spots in the landscape industry: owners who have accidentally trained their teams to wait for permission on everything. Kevin walks through what real delegation looks like versus abdication, a four-part framework for transferring genuine ownership, and five questions that reveal exactly where you are the bottleneck, so you can start removing yourself from the day-to-day before it removes you from the work that matters. THE BIG IDEA: Create the Systems so you are no longer the system KEY MOMENTS: • [00:30] Welcome — Kevin Keim Introduces the Owner's Blind Spot: You're the Bottleneck [01:00] The Pattern: Your Team Is Behaving Exactly the Way You Trained Them [03:00] Delegation vs. Abdication: The Distinction That Changes Everything [04:15] The Four-Part Delegation Framework: Outcome, Ownership, Authority, Accountability [06:30] Outcome vs. Process: Why the Path Matters Less Than the Result [08:00] Five Diagnostic Questions Every Owner Should Ask Themselves [10:30] Question 3 — What Information Exists Primarily in My Head?

In episode 272, Coffey talks with Amie Fox about inclusive recruitment as a skills-first strategy — and why getting disability inclusion right across the hiring lifecycle unlocks better outcomes for all types of diverse talent. – HRSOUTHWEST October 11-13, 2026 – Good Morning, HR listeners can use the promo code 2026-CoffeyGMHR-100 to save $100 on an HRSouthwest full conference registration at https://hrsouthwest.com!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ They discuss inclusive recruitment defined as removing intentional and unintentional barriers so the best-skilled candidate can move through the process without obstruction; honest, specific job descriptions that reflect actual role requirements rather than aspirational proxies and that allow unqualified candidates to self-select out; disability as the inclusion starting point — with the disability community twice as likely to be unemployed as non-disabled peers despite being frequently over-educated; the average $300 cost of a reasonable accommodation in the US and available government funding through state and county workforce boards to offset it; skills-based hiring as the most equitable screening approach because it focuses on demonstrable job-relevant competencies rather than credential proxies; AI and assistive technology as equalizers for candidates and employees with disabilities, enabling participation and independence in ways previously unavailable; designing the application process intentionally — including accessibility of job postings, assessments, and office environments — to remove barriers before the interview stage; how to handle disability disclosure in interviews, ask practical accessibility questions, and kick the elephant out of the room without legal risk; the medical model versus social model of disability and why moving past fear of offense is the key to unlocking genuine inclusion conversations; and onboarding as the most critical retention tool — including pre-start communication, 90-day planning, accommodations setup before day one, and maintaining connection so new hires know where the bathroom is.

She moved into this work after a portfolio career across communications, training, fundraising, corporate responsibility, and operations exposed her to how differently people experience workplaces. A key turning point was struggling to find early employment as a visually impaired woman, which shaped her understanding of hidden barriers, workplace design, and the importance of systems that help people perform at their best. Her credibility is grounded in recent and current roles: she set up A Fox Consulting, serves as a non-executive director at Vision Ireland, and has held senior CSR and operations roles at organisations including SCOPE Eyecare & Healthcare. Through her consulting, communications, fundraising, and inclusion work, she has contributed to projects with organisations such as McDonald's, Telefonica, Deloitte, Novartis, Abbott, Newstalk, and John Sisk & Sons. Amie's work is built around the employee life cycle as the foundation for better people performance. She supports leaders and managers through coaching, training, and mentoring designed to maximise employee engagement and performance across each stage of that life cycle. Her book Mind the Blind Spot: Decision to Done and her FoxBuzz framework are practical manifestations of her central thesis: when people feel good, they perform at their best — but that idea only becomes useful when translated into clear routines, structures, and systems that work in boardrooms and in daily operations.

Welcome to the Ninth World, where civilization has ended eight times, nobody understands how anything works, and sufficiently advanced technology is mostly an excuse to point at a laser pistol and yell, "Magic!" In this first part of our How to Play Numenera series, Randall attempts to explain a billion years of lost civilizations, Ash discovers that physics are apparently optional, and Tyler starts asking the dangerous questions about Edge. Before long, we have ancient nanotechnology, mysterious artifacts, cyphers that might explode if you hoard them, stat pools that double as hit points, and a GM who can literally bribe you with XP to make your life more interesting. Also, we say "moist" far too many times while explaining a d20 mechanic. We regret nothing. Well, some of us regret quite a lot. Show Notes We're kicking off our How to Play Numenera series with a tour of the Ninth World and the Cypher System mechanics that make this wonderfully strange science fantasy RPG work. Randall walks Ash and Tyler through the Numenera setting, a version of Earth roughly a billion years in the future after eight unimaginably advanced civilizations have risen and disappeared. Their technology is everywhere, but the people of the Ninth World understand so little of it that ancient machinery might as well be magic. That gives Numenera its central science fantasy theme: sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. We dig into the Steadfast, the Beyond, and the increasingly strange places beyond civilization, along with the remnants left behind by previous worlds. Those remnants include reusable artifacts, one-use cyphers, mysterious oddities, and massive ancient structures that the characters may have absolutely no idea how to operate. Sometimes the players know they have discovered an elevator. Their characters definitely do not. From there, we get into how to play Numenera and the Cypher System core mechanics. Tasks have difficulty levels from 0 to 10, with the target number determined by multiplying the difficulty by three. Instead of piling bonuses onto a d20 roll, characters make challenges easier through training, specialization, assets, and Effort. Effort introduces one of Numenera's most interesting resource-management decisions. Might, Speed, and Intellect are not simply ability scores. They are pools that power abilities, fuel Effort, and absorb damage. Spend too aggressively and you may discover that the resource you just used to succeed is also the thing keeping your character alive. Then there's Edge, which reduces the cost of spending points from those pools. Naturally, Tyler immediately begins investigating whether enough Edge will allow him to achieve his ultimate character build: the Edge Lord. We also explore one of the signature Cypher System RPG mechanics, GM intrusions. The GM can offer XP to introduce an unexpected complication, while players can spend XP to reject intrusions, reroll critical checks, create temporary skills, trigger player intrusions, or advance their characters. The goal is not simply to punish players. A good GM intrusion makes the story more interesting, creates new opportunities, and occasionally puts something cool behind the wall that just collapsed on you. By the end, we've covered the Numenera setting, cyphers and artifacts, task difficulty, Effort, Edge, stat pools, XP, GM intrusions, player intrusions, and the basics of character advancement. It's a surprisingly streamlined system hiding underneath one of the strangest tabletop RPG settings we've explored. Key Takeaways Numenera takes place on Earth roughly one billion years in the future, after eight previous civilizations have risen and disappeared. The Ninth World mixes science fiction and fantasy by treating incomprehensibly advanced technology like magic. Numenera includes artifacts, one-use cyphers, oddities, and enormous remnants of ancient civilizations. The Cypher System uses a d20, but characters generally reduce task difficulty instead of adding large numerical bonuses to rolls. Task difficulty ranges from 0 to 10, with the target number equal to the difficulty multiplied by three. Training, specialization, assets, and Effort can ease difficult tasks and bring otherwise impossible rolls within reach. Might, Speed, and Intellect are resource pools used for abilities and Effort, but they also function as your character's health. Damage normally reduces Might first, followed by Speed and then Intellect. If all three pools reach zero, things have gone very badly. Edge reduces the cost of spending points from a stat pool and becomes increasingly powerful as characters advance. In the Cypher System, the GM generally does not roll dice. Players make both offensive and defensive rolls. GM intrusions let the GM introduce complications in exchange for XP, turning unexpected problems into part of the game's advancement economy. XP can be spent on rerolls, player intrusions, temporary skills, and permanent character advancement, creating a constant choice between helping yourself now or saving for later. Numenera encourages creativity over strict simulation. Sometimes the explanation really is, "Ancient technology did it." Most importantly, never tell the RPGBOT Discord you are trying to keep the math "moist." They cannot be trusted with that information. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Your best attorney is brilliant. Clients love them. They never miss a deadline. Naturally, you picture them taking over your firm someday. But can they run it? In this episode of Smart Lawyers Position to Transition, Victoria Collier challenges an assumption that can turn an internal succession plan into a very expensive disappointment: being an excellent lawyer means someone is ready to become an owner. Because fifteen years working beside you doesn't necessarily mean fifteen years learning how to replace you. From uncomfortable conversations about money to the leadership habits that matter when things go sideways, Victoria explores what preparing a successor actually requires. She also turns the mirror toward current owners: have you given your future successor the opportunity to learn the business, or just expected them to absorb it? In this episode: • Why your strongest attorney may not be your strongest succession candidate. • The ownership responsibilities legal training leaves out. • What keeping your financials private could mean for your transition. • How to test a potential successor's readiness beyond their legal work. • The red flags owners overlook when they're ready to be done. • Where to begin if an internal transition is part of your future. About Victoria Collier Victoria Collier is a seasoned attorney, entrepreneur, and expert in law firm sales and valuations. With a background in law and accounting, including prior military service and CPA training, she brings a unique perspective to the financial side of business valuations. She helps transform law firms into more valuable and sellable businesses while guiding attorneys through life after law. We want to hear from you!

In this episode, I'm sharing something I recently taught in a live training with a group of brilliant online coaches and entrepreneurs. It's the timeless strategies of subtraction, scaling, and automation that let me run a business without constantly having to reinvent the wheel or physically show up to sell something in order to make money. That, to me, is not the definition of freedom. And it's not the way I roll. I get real about the month my older sister passed away in January 2023, when my business still made $208,000 even though I wasn't in the mood to sell, because my sales system was already built to compound whether I was there or not. I share why I resisted funnels for two full years thinking they were "too bro marketer," how I recently made over $50K on a 10-day Hawaii trip without selling a thing, and the truth about why ads don't work for most people (spoiler: it's not the ad agency, it's the messaging). If you're ready to stop wearing the badge of burnout and finally let automation carry the weight of your business, this episode is your permission slip. Liked this episode?

This episode looks at bodybuilding before steroids became widespread, arguing that the era is far more useful (and more complicated) than the usual "pure, simple, natty golden age" story. Drs Eric Helms and Conor Heffernan break down how strength sport, judging standards, gym access, and culture shaped physiques from the 1940s through the 1950s. The big takeaway is that early bodybuilding was not a direct comparison to modern natural bodybuilding. The sport was tied to Olympic weightlifting, evaluated with very different criteria, and influenced by training tools and social norms that changed the entire game.

P&S ModCast 468 — Defensive Display Done RightWhat separates a justified defensive firearm display from brandishing, intimidation, or an unnecessary escalation? And what happens when displaying a firearm successfully stops an attack—but the defender shoots anyway?Host Matt Landfair joins firearms instructor Steve Moses, litigation consultant Shawn Vincent, and criminal defense attorney Don West for a discussion of defensive firearm displays, sound judgment, and the legal consequences that can follow a self-defense encounter.Drawing on their training and case experience, the panel examines how an armed defender's decisions look to investigators, prosecutors, witnesses, and juries. The conversation connects firearm handling and threat assessment with the broader responsibility to avoid unnecessary conflict and recognize when a threat has changed.Topics include:• Defensive display versus brandishing, and why circumstances and state law matter.• The distinction between displaying a firearm, pointing it at someone, and firing it.• Recognizing an imminent threat and reassessing when an aggressor stops or retreats.• Breaking contact, creating distance, and avoiding a return to the confrontation.• How ego, anger, and the desire to have the last word can undermine self-defense.• Safe gun handling, muzzle direction, trigger-finger discipline, and maintaining visibility of a potential attacker's hands.• Verbal boundaries, managing unknown contacts, and preparing a response before an emergency.• Training beyond shooting drills, including decisions about when to draw—and when to stop.• OC spray and other options between verbal commands and a firearm.• The tactical risks and legal consequences of warning shots.• Calling 911, video evidence, witness accounts, and the importance of context.• Jury selection, the presentation of a self-defense claim, and the financial and personal costs of prosecution.• How social-media advice, firearm slogans, and prior statements can influence decisions and complicate a defense.Real-World Cases:Michael Drejka — The panel examines the Florida parking-lot shooting and the critical distinction between drawing a firearm to stop an assault and firing after the aggressor begins backing away.Sheri McClatchy — A laundromat attendant breaks contact after an assault, calls 911, and displays a firearm when the attacker approaches again. The panel uses this encounter to discuss resolving a threat without firing.Alexander Weiss — A Minnesota traffic incident illustrates the risks of retrieving a firearm and returning to a confrontation, along with the difficulty of using a gun to control another person's behavior.Jeffrey Smith and Arthur Kohn III — A Michigan gas-station confrontation highlights how returning to an argument and introducing a firearm can compromise a subsequent self-defense claim.Dean Keller and Jeffrey Weigle — An Indiana neighbor dispute demonstrates how displaying a firearm can cause another armed person to perceive an immediate threat, with consequences for both physical safety and criminal liability.Mark and Patricia McCloskey — The panel discusses firearm handling, defensive positioning, and the consequences of pointing weapons during the confrontation outside their Missouri home.Kyle Carruth and Chad Read — The Lubbock, Texas, shooting provides another example for discussing disengagement, retrieving a firearm, and returning to a dispute.The central theme is continual judgment: circumstances change, and a defender must respond to the threat that exists at that moment. A firearm display that ends an attack does not automatically justify a shot afterward. Avoidance, restraint, competent handling, and the ability to explain reasonable decisions all matter.Recorded September 29, 2026.Host:Matt LandfairPanel:Steve MosesShawn VincentDon WestGuest Resources:CCW Safe — The Armed Defender's Dilemma, 36 Lessons for Armed Defenders, and the InSelf Defense podcast:https://ccwsafe.com/Episode Sponsors:High Desert Cartridge Companyhttps://highdesertcartridge.com/PHLster Educational Content — practical, brand-agnostic guidance on concealment and concealed carry.

Personal coaching, deliverance, e-courses, training for ministry, and mentorships! https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/training/# n this powerful episode of Prophetic Spiritual Warfare, Kathy DeGraw teaches how repeated thoughts create neurological pathways and how spiritual agreements can reinforce what you believe, expect, and experience. You will learn why negative thinking can become an automatic mental pattern and how renewing your mind can help interrupt destructive cycles. Kathy reveals how neuroplasticity connects with Romans 12:2 and the biblical command to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. She explains the importance of repetition, declarations, Scripture, faith, worship, and intentionally choosing thoughts that produce hope instead of fear. If you have struggled with mental strongholds, fear, worry, defeat, passivity, or negative expectations, this teaching will challenge you to stop reinforcing the old pathways and begin creating new ones. Learn how to take authority over destructive thoughts, change your emotional responses, strengthen healthy mental patterns, and partner with the Holy Spirit as you pursue freedom and transformation. Your thinking does not have to remain the same. Renew your mind, strengthen your faith, and begin building new pathways that lead toward peace, healing, breakthrough, and victory. #RenewYourMind #Neuroplasticity #NegativeThinking #MentalStrongholds #BiblicalMindRenewal **Connect with Us** - Website: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kathydegraw/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kathydegraw/ Podcast - Subscribe to our YouTube channel and listen to Kathy's Podcast called Prophetic Spiritual Warfare, or on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/show/3mYPPkP28xqcTzdeoucJZu or Apple podcasts at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/prophetic-spiritual-warfare/id1474710499 **Recommended Resources:** - Receive a free prayer pdf on The Power of your Words at https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/declarations-download/ - Receive a free prayer pdf on Anointing Oil at https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/anointingoil/ - Kathy's training, mentoring and e-courses on Spiritual Warfare, Deliverance and the Prophetic: https://training.kathydegrawministries.org/ - Healed At Last ~ Overcome Sickness and Receive your Physical Healing: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/healed-at-last/ - Mind Battles – Root Out Mental Triggers to Release Peace!: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/product/mind-battles-pre-order-available-january-2023/ -Kathy has several books available on Amazon or kathydegrawministries.org **Support Kathy DeGraw Ministries:** - Give a one-time love offering or consider partnering with us for $15, $35, $75 or any amount!

Feeling flat during your taper? Worried you've never ridden the full 56 miles before your first 70.3? Coach Rob answers listener questions on why tapering feels rubbish (and why you'll feel so much better by race day), and why you'll ride faster on race day than in training.

This episode shares practical labor relaxation tips to help the pelvic floor soften so baby can navigate more easily, especially when contractions make it hard to drop into the parasympathetic “rest and digest” mode. It covers the jaw–pelvic floor connection (via fascia and the nervous system), using a soft jaw/open mouth, deep low vocalizations (instead of high “eee” tension), “horsey lips” and pursed-lip breathing, and a simple head-to-toe relaxation sequence partners can cue. It also highlights breathing options (box breathing or long exhales), comfort techniques that break the fear–tension–pain cycle (jiggling/massage, hip circles/shifts, hydrotherapy), and notes an epidural can sometimes help if tension won't release. Finally, it explains why the toilet can be the “dilation station”—unless it makes contractions too intense to cope.00:00 Pelvic Floor Relaxation01:22 Four Key Tips02:10 Jaw Pelvic Floor Link03:48 Vocal Sounds Practice05:41 Relaxation Sequence09:00 Breathing For Softening10:45 Fear Tension Pain Cycle11:46 Jiggling Massage Movement14:23 Hydrotherapy And Epidural16:17 Toilet Dilation Station19:03 Final Recap And Outro————

Send us Fan MailEpisode Summary: Bruce Bieber shares his personal journey from tragedy to advocacy, highlighting the systemic failures in law enforcement's handling of domestic violence cases and proposing best practices to prevent future tragedies. This episode emphasizes the importance of proactive policies, training, and accountability in law enforcement to save lives.Bruce's BIO Bruce Bieber is a national advocate for Police-Perpetrated / Officer-Involved Domestic Violence (PP/OIDV) awareness, prevention, and reform. His advocacy emerged following the murder of his daughter, Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office Deputy Abigail Rose “Abby” Bieber, in a PP/OIDV murder-suicide on January 29, 2022. Abby's two older brothers are both law enforcement officers.A retired commercial construction manager, Bruce and his wife, Sarah, spent more than four decades raising their family in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area before relocating to Florida in 2021 to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Public service has long been central to the Bieber family, with careers spanning law enforcement, fire and EMS, a US Army combat veteran, and decades of public school teaching.Following Abby's death, Bruce embarked on an intensive study of PP/OIDV and the organizational, cultural, and systemic factors that can allow warning signs to go unrecognized or unaddressed. What began as a father's search for answers evolved into a national advocacy effort. He has collaborated with leading researchers, law enforcement professionals, survivors, policy experts, and advocates across the United States to better understand the causes, consequences, and prevention of police perpetrated domesticviolence.Today, Bruce speaks nationally about PP/OIDV, using Abby's story to promote evidence-based reform. His presentations explore offender behavior, warning signs, accountability, agency culture, victim safety, and the critical role of early intervention. He advocates for mandatory PP/OIDV training, comprehensive agency policies, and cultural change within law enforcement organizations.Bruce's central message is straightforward: if PP/OIDV is predictable, and it is, then the devastation that flows from it is preventable. Through education, advocacy, and reform, he works to honor Abby's memory while helping agencies, policymakers, and communities prevent future tragedies, save lives, and strengthen public trust.Support the showOur premiere sponsor, Social News Desk, has an exclusive offer for PIO Podcast listeners.

Flow cytometry can find a cell population in seconds, but naming it consistently across labs is a problem still unsolved. If you've ever tried to compare cytometry data across studies, CROs, or even two scientists in the same lab, you know the frustration: everyone gates their own way, and the same cell population ends up with three different definitions. That inconsistency is quietly limiting what AI can do with biotech data. Ryan Brinkman is VP Research Director of Flow Cytometry Bioinformatics at Dotmatics and Founding Director of SOULCAP, the Standard Ontology for Unambiguous Labeling in Cytometry and Phenotyping, built after years as an academic developing automated gating tools that kept running into the same naming problem. He's joined by Brian Wile, who is the General Manager of Flow Cytometry at KCAS Bio, a CRO that feels the cost of inconsistent labeling in client projects every day. You'll get a clear picture of how flow cytometry data moves from raw signal to labeled cell population, why that last step has resisted automation, and what a shared standard could unlock for machine learning models trained on this data. Ryan and Brian break down the gap between automated gating and consistent labeling, and why agreement, not just data volume, is what AI in biotech actually needs. This episode covers the mechanics of flow cytometry, an EVE Online citizen science project that trained a gating algorithm on hundreds of millions of human-labeled plots, and why cell population names like "Treg" or "natural killer cell" don't map to one agreed set of markers. Key Takeaways Gating automation solved half the problem: computers can now draw boundaries around cell populations, but nothing proves which name belongs on the result.A citizen science project turned hundreds of thousands of EVE Online players into an unlikely training set, collecting roughly half a billion labeled plots from people with zero biology background.The same cell type, like a regulatory T cell, gets defined by entirely different marker combinations depending on the lab or CRO, and those datasets can't simply be merged later.SOULCAP is running a Delphi-style consensus process among scientists worldwide to tie every cell population name to a specific, reproducible set of markers and experiments.

Trevor Foley's rise in long-course triathlon hasn't followed a typical playbook. A former college runner with almost no cycling background, he found his way into the sport with what he calls “blind confidence" — and quickly discovered a talent for producing serious power on the bike. In this conversation, Trevor shares how he made the leap from running to triathlon, what he learned from early racing mistakes, and why he mixes up his riding instead of spending every session on his time-trial bike. He also looks back on his devastating crash at Kona in 2024 and the mindset that's brought him back hungry for Kona 2026. Beyond his own racing, Trevor talks about building Foley Athletics, coaching a growing team, and helping athletes balance ambitious goals with the rest of their lives.

In this episode of the Performance Matters Podcast, Bob Mosher sits down with 2025 5 Moments of Need Trailblazer Award winner Karen Conlin to talk about what it really takes to move from a training mindset to a performance mindset—especially when you're working with a small L&D team and limited organizational support. Karen shares her journey from instructional designer to performance-focused practitioner, including how discovering the 5 Moments of Need methodology changed the way she thought about her work. She walks through a real-world proof of concept she built around legal billing workflows, how putting work and context at the center transformed the experience for new hires, and why simply providing information isn't enough when employees need to perform. But the journey wasn't without challenges. Karen candidly discusses resistance from L&D, the business, and managers; the importance of bringing stakeholders along early; lessons she learned about targeted training and digital coaching; and why organizational culture can ultimately determine how far a performance-first approach can go. Most importantly, Karen offers a practical starting point for L&D professionals who may feel they don't have the resources—or permission—to make a major shift: start with the workflow. Mapping the work with the business can change the conversation, improve training, and create a foundation for performance support.

Greg Gifford fills in for Todd to rethink some common assumptions about missions. Who should go, how should they prepare, and could Christians be making the whole thing more complicated than it needs to be? Segment 1 • Are parents unintentionally talking their kids out of missions? • Does serving overseas really require giving up your career? • What if the traditional missionary model isn't your only option? Segment 2 • What does biblical counseling have to do with the Great Commission? • Missionaries aren't the only people overseas who need discipleship. • Could a skill you already have meet a major need on the mission field? Segment 3 • Can you meaningfully serve people across the world without moving there? • What does “teaching them to observe” actually require after someone is converted? • Your 9-to-5 may be more useful to missions than you realize. Segment 4 • Do missionaries need formal training before they go? • Think you're called to missions? Your pastor may see something you don't. • Who takes care of missionaries when they're the ones who need help? ___ Thanks for listening!
