A few things on the agenda today. First, RFK Jr. and the MAHA crew want medical schools to dedicate around 40 hours, roughly 20% of preclinical training, to nutrition education. I have some thoughts. We already have dietitians, med school is already a fire hydrant, and the Krebs cycle had it coming, but this isn't the way. Then a Mark Cuban appreciation segment, because he's out there on X dragging the entire healthcare system toward transparency. His latest pitch: someone buy a hospital, charge Medicare rates for every single thing, expose every dollar in and out, and prove whether Medicare for All can actually work. In theory, I'm in. In practice, you can't slash physician pay without first addressing the $500,000 in debt that gets people into the door. The Australian model, a real public safety net coexisting with a private system, makes more sense to me, but only if we fix the training pipeline first. After the break, ophthalmology. A young man got a bamboo shoot to the eye six months ago. Healed up fine. Now he's waking up at 2 AM in excruciating pain, no trauma involved. That's a recurrent corneal erosion. I walk through why it happens, why CPAP can make it worse, and the whole treatment ladder, ointment, bandage contact lenses, superficial keratectomy, corneal micropuncture. Also: don't let your cornea melt. That's the headline. Takeaways: RFK Jr. and MAHA are pushing medical schools to dedicate around 40 hours, or 20%, of preclinical training to nutrition, a shift that ignores the existence of dietitians and would crowd out essential physiology and disease education Mark Cuban has floated a real-world test case for Medicare for All: buy a hospital, charge only Medicare rates, and operate with complete financial transparency to show whether the model is sustainable Any serious move toward Medicare for All or an Australian-style public-private hybrid will require addressing the roughly $500K in training debt physicians carry; otherwise the math doesn't work and recruitment collapses Recurrent corneal erosion happens when an old abrasion never fully reattaches to the underlying stroma, patients typically wake up in severe pain because the eyelid scrapes loose epithelium across a dry cornea overnight, and CPAP without a good seal makes it worse Treatment escalates from aggressive nighttime lubrication (erythromycin ointment, Genteal gel) to a bandage contact lens, and in stubborn cases to a superficial keratectomy or corneal micropuncture to create a smoother, more firmly attached corneal surface To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Most "healthy" drinks aren't what they claim—and your body feels it long before you realize why. In this episode, Justine Reichman sits down with entrepreneur Bryan Appio, founder of Dry Water, to unpack what really happens when you start paying attention to what's inside your hydration. After losing everything during the pandemic, Bryan hit a breaking point that forced him to rethink his health from the ground up—leading to a product built on transparency, not shortcuts. They dive into the hidden truth behind "natural flavors," why most electrolyte drinks are loaded with sugar or unnecessary salt, and how the wellness industry often prioritizes profit over clarity. But more importantly, this conversation shifts how you think about everyday choices: what you drink, how you fuel your body, and why simplicity might be the most powerful upgrade you can make. This episode will change the way you read labels—and the way you take care of yourself. Key Takeaways: Why "natural flavors" can hide dozens of unknown ingredients The real problem with most electrolyte and hydration drinks How small daily habits impact long-term health Why clean, simple ingredients matter more than marketing claims The mindset shift that turns failure into your next breakthrough If you've ever felt tired without knowing why—or questioned what's really in your food and drinks—this conversation will hit home. Meet Bryan:  Bryan Appio is the founder and CEO of Dry Water, a next-generation hydration company committed to clean ingredients, transparency, and everyday wellness. A lifelong entrepreneur, Bryan previously built and exited an early staffing "gig economy" model, before redirecting his focus to health and sustainability after the pandemic exposed his own gaps in nutrition and hydration. Motivated by personal health challenges and a deep frustration with misleading "natural flavor" claims and sugar-laden sports drinks, Bryan spent years reverse-engineering the hydration category. He developed Dry Water as a daily wellness solution built on real fruit, plant-based ingredients, zero sugar, and no artificial additives, designed to support gut, brain, and metabolic health while minimizing reliance on pills and highly processed products. Under his leadership, Dry Water has grown from kitchen experiments to a national brand available in major retailers like Walmart, Walgreens, Target, and Kroger, reaching hundreds of thousands of customers largely through education-driven, word-of-mouth growth rather than heavy ad spend. Bryan's approach centers on regenerative business principles: investing in consumer education, prioritizing clean supply chains even when crops fail or costs rise, and refusing to compromise on non-negotiables around ingredient integrity. A strong advocate for women's sports and youth wellness, Bryan has partnered with League One Volleyball (LOVB) to bring cleaner hydration to thousands of young athletes and professional players, aligning performance with long-term health. Through Dry Water, he is demonstrating that it is possible to scale a profitable, high-growth CPG brand while honoring transparency, ethical sourcing, and the long-term well-being of people and planet.

Senate Public Health Chairman Hob Bryan said the lack of transparency around the governor's program to spend millions in federal rural health dollars in Mississippi is "almost the Saturday Night Live parody of secrecy." Bryan and his House counterpart, Chairman Sam Creekmore, share their frustrations over lack of input from communities, and the Legislature, in how the state spends federal rural health care money.

Most people think healthcare is broken by accident.Mark Cuban says it isn't.In part two of our conversation, he explains the hidden companies who really control healthcare, where AI is headed, and the biggest opportunities most people are missing.He also shares the advice he gives young people, the three “superpowers” he believes matter more than talent, network, or money, and the one question he thinks everyone should ask themselves.

How to communicate with impact when the stakes are high.Communication isn't about getting information out. It's about making sure it gets through. In an era of fragmented attention and endless platforms, the challenge isn't finding ways to speak—it's finding ways to connect.According to Farnaz Khadem, Vice President of University Communications at Stanford, great communicators start with three questions: What's the goal? Who's the audience? And what does the data tell us? Whether guiding a university through a crisis, helping experts share their ideas with broader audiences, or deciding where a story should be told, she believes effective communication centers around understanding people. "People want to know what's actually happening," she says. "And if what is happening is you don't know what is happening, you have to tell people you don't know."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Khadem joins host Matt Abrahams to discuss the importance of preparation, transparency, and active listening when communicating during uncertainty. From navigating the opportunities and risks of AI to crafting stories that create genuine connection, she shares practical lessons for building trust, adapting to changing audiences, and communicating effectively when the stakes are highest.Episode Reference Links:Farnaz KhademEp.22 Under Pressure: How to Communicate Clearly and Timely During a Crisis Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:38) - Communication Fundamentals (03:58) - Choosing the Right Channel (05:38) - Building Communication Networks (06:50) - Coaching Better Communicators (08:44) - Crisis Preparation (10:47) - Crisis Response (12:40) - The Power of Storytelling (14:28) - AI in Communications (17:29) - The Final Three Questions (24:23) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.To see what Scribe could look like for your organization, head to scribe.how/thinkfast and mention Think Fast for your first month of Scribe Capture free. 

President Donald Trump abruptly reversed his longstanding opposition to public disclosure of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein's network, telling House Republicans to back a measure requiring the Department of Justice to release Epstein-related files. He previously labelled the disclosure effort a “hoax” and actively resisted it, but as bipartisan and intraparty pressure mounted—including from conservative lawmakers—the tide shifted and he pledged to sign the bill if passed.The legislation mandates the DOJ to publish all unclassified records tied to Epstein's investigations within 30 days, with limited allowances for redactions only to protect victims or continuing probes; it explicitly bars withholding records on the basis of embarrassment or political sensitivity. The move comes amid growing scrutiny of Epstein's ties to powerful figures and renewed demands for accountability, even as questions linger about Trump's motivations for this pivot and whether it signals a genuine commitment to transparency or a tactical retreat under mounting pressure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:How Trump reversed course on the Epstein files as his administration faces lingering suspicion about their release | CNN Politics

What do you do when life hands you a diagnosis — and you're the person everyone else depends on?Deb Krier was a “good patient” kind of person. Annual physical. Mammogram. Did everything right. And still didn't make it home from the hospital before the phone rang.What followed over the next decade was 34 surgeries under general anaesthesia, a stage zero diagnosis that leapt to stage four almost overnight, septic shock with a 75% fatality rate — and a surgeon who told her husband she would be dead by midnight.Her response? Excuse me. I get to vote.In this episode, Deb — cancer advocate, strategic advisor, creator of TryingNotToDie.live, and host of the Business Power Hour — shares what she's learned about leading through a health crisis without losing yourself, your business, or your people..If you've ever pushed through difficulty alone because you feared what people would think — this one is for you.You'll learn:Why hiding a health crisis from your clients almost always backfiresHow to maintain decision-making authority when your brain has short-circuitedWhat solopreneurs need to put in place before a crisis hitsWhy asking for help is not weakness — it's what warriors doKey Takeaways: Isolation is the enemy. The instinct to hide a health crisis from your clients and colleagues is understandable — but it's the thing most likely to make everything harder.Transparency converts people into supporters. When Deb told her clients the truth, they didn't pull away. They asked, what can we do to help?You are the decision-maker — even when the white coats disagree. Give yourself the time to grieve, gather yourself, and then choose the path that is right for you.Bring backup to the hard appointments. A level-headed person by your side can hold onto information your shocked brain can't process.Build your systems before you need them. Automated invoicing, a backup contact, someone who can handle the basics — these are not just illness preparations. They're what lets you take a vacation too.The strongest thing you can do is ask for help. Reaching out — to a friend, a counsellor, a faith community, a stranger on Facebook — is not weakness. It is what warriors do.Gratitude doesn't have to be grand. It can be as simple as: I woke up. The project didn't get done, and the world didn't stop.About Deb KrierDeb Krier is a cancer advocate and strategic advisor for executives and business owners navigating the personal and professional impact of a cancer diagnosis.

Operational Civic Leadership: Public Service, Transparency, and Grassroots Strategy with Ebie LynchIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Ebie Lynch, a candidate running for California Lieutenant Governor under the platform of Ebie Lynch for California, to explore the structural friction points currently stalling civic efficiency and community wellbeing. Ebie, a 24-year Air Force veteran and former specialized prison nurse, brings an analytical, mission-first perspective to public governance, dismantling the gridlocked partisan rhetoric that often alienates everyday citizens. This conversation delivers an intentional operational framework for enterprise leaders, community advocates, and civic minded professionals who are looking to eliminate regulatory debt, foster absolute budgetary transparency, and apply disciplined grassroots strategy to solve the compounding cost-of-living crises facing local economies.Civic Infrastructure: Driving Economic Resilience and Accountability through Mission-First GovernanceThe primary bottleneck dragging down regional economic vitality is the systemic accumulation of excessive regulatory red tape and unexamined public overhead. Ebie Lynch argues that when a government structure operates without clear internal accountability, it naturally introduces friction into local business pipelines, forcing small-to-mid-sized enterprises to pass administrative costs directly down to working-class consumers. True structural scalability within a civic ecosystem is achieved by simplifying licensing procedures, establishing "one-stop-shop" permitting systems, and mapping public tax spending to empirical data tracking models. By treating government spending as a strict corporate balance sheet that demands clear reporting, leadership can cut through waste, ease unnecessary tax debt, and allow regional businesses to retain the capital necessary to drive predictable market expansion and lower everyday cost burdens.Transitioning public healthcare and food logistics into self-sustaining, cost-effective engines requires a top-down commitment to preventative design and localized supply chain optimization. Many institutional frameworks make the expensive mistake of treating downstream illnesses with hyper-reactive, high-cost medical interventions rather than designing proactive, preventative community infrastructure. Real systemic optimization is unlocked when executive leadership builds cross-functional partnerships between regional healthcare providers and local agricultural producers, leveraging California's vast resource abundance to deliver fresh produce directly into localized distribution points. Shifting corporate and community wellness programs toward this preventative, thesis-driven approach significantly mitigates out-of-pocket operational costs, ensuring that health infrastructure protects human capital rather than bleeding corporate or civic margins.Furthermore, building an authoritative and resilient movement in a highly competitive arena demands a disciplined approach to grassroots media and authentic narrative design. When an independent cause or emerging enterprise lacks access to massive institutional capital, it must bypass traditional gatekeepers by leveraging organic digital channels, word-of-mouth networks, and consistent thought leadership. Maintaining strict emotional discipline and civility in the face of marketplace noise or digital setbacks serves as a critical differentiator that positions an enterprise or a leader as a steady, trusted authority figure. When operational precision, radical transparency, and human-centric audience engagement are synthesized under a unified strategy, a grassroots initiative successfully maximizes its reach. This structured model transforms individual participation from an ad-hoc choice into a powerful, collaborative force capable of multiplying long-term institutional value.About Ebie LynchEbie Lynch is a decorated United States Air Force veteran, a former specialized prison nurse, and a dedicated civic candidate running for California Lieutenant Governor. Drawing from more than two decades of rigorous military logistics management and clinical healthcare oversight, Ebie infuses a high-accountability, people-first philosophy into public policy. She is an independent strategic advisor and grassroots advocate focused on helping communities eliminate administrative bottlenecks, improve public health access, and implement sustainable economic reforms.About Ebie Lynch for CaliforniaEbie Lynch for California is the central digital hub and campaign infrastructure platform backing Ebie Lynch's run for Lieutenant Governor. The platform provides voters, business owners, and local advocates with direct access to data-driven policy whitepapers, community permitting reform proposals, and transparent public budgeting frameworks. Through structured volunteer action plans and clear educational outreach, Ebie Lynch for California enables citizens to participate directly in scaling civic transparency and reviving local economies.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeEbie Lynch for California Campaign Website: ebielynchforcalifornia.comKey Episode HighlightsThe Mission-First Leadership Model: Applying 24 years of disciplined military systems engineering to streamline complex public governance pipelines.Eradicating Regulatory Debt: Strategic frameworks to simplify local business permitting and licensing to stimulate grassroots market growth.The Preventative Healthcare Shift: Constructing cross-functional supply loops between local agriculture and health networks to lower out-of-pocket medical overhead.Absolute Budgetary Transparency: Utilizing strict, data-driven non-financial audits to report exactly how public capital is distributed.The Grassroots Authority Blueprint: Overcoming institutional funding barriers by leveraging digital media and human-centric storytelling to scale a movement.ConclusionThe conversation with Ebie Lynch reinforces that true organizational optimization—whether in a corporate enterprise or a public entity—requires a balanced synthesis of structural discipline and transparent accountability. By standardizing internal performance metrics, removing process friction from the frontline, and protecting long-term foundational value, leaders can transform a volatile environment into a streamlined, high-performance asset.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in campaign finance and government transparency. The speaker takes a critical look at the Colorado Secretary of State's website, Tracer, which is supposed to provide transparent access to campaign finance data. However, the system is woefully outdated, with a user interface that's more like something from the Clinton administration than a modern technology platform.The speaker shares their own frustrating experience trying to navigate the system, which is supposed to be a one-stop-shop for campaign finance information. They highlight the numerous issues with the system, including its inability to be accessed during business hours on Wednesdays, its lack of updates since 2014, and its cumbersome design that makes it difficult for even the most determined users to find the information they need. The speaker also cites a report from the Center for Public Integrity, which graded Colorado's transparency portal a dismal D-minus.The speaker uses this as a case study to question the transparency of the Marks for Governor campaign, which has been accused of campaign finance irregularities. They point out that the campaign's financial reports are not audited for compliance, and that the system relies on an "honor system" rather than actual checks and balances.If you're interested in learning more about the issues with campaign finance transparency in Colorado and how it affects the state's elections, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's in-depth analysis and discussion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Novien Yarber is the Senior Learning Officer at Prebys Foundation, where he helps the foundation listen, reflect, and learn from its work with community partners. Known around the office as “Dr. Novi,” he brings a rare combination of rigor, warmth, and curiosity to the practice of evaluation. Before joining Prebys, Novi served as Director of Leadership, Philanthropy, and Social Impact at the University of San Diego's Nonprofit Institute, where he led community-focused programs at the intersection of leadership and social change This Episode: What does it look like when a foundation takes a closer look at itself? In this episode, Novi and Grant reflect on what Prebys heard from grantee partners through its most recent Grantee Perception Report. The conversation explores both the affirmations and the invitations for growth, including how grantees perceive Prebys' leadership, impact, adaptability, transparency, and relationships across San Diego County. This episode offers a candid look at how a foundation makes sense of feedback, wrestles with trade-offs, and thinks about its role in community. Novi and Grant discuss one of the central tensions in place-based philanthropy: how to keep learning and responding to changing conditions while also being clear and predictable for the organizations doing the work every day. They explore what real transparency requires, why trust matters for shared learning, and how funders and grantees can build relationships strong enough to hold wins, losses, lessons, and setbacks.  Key Moments: [2:02] What the Center for Effective Philanthropy is and why the report matters [10:28] Why relationships are central to place-based philanthropy [23:55] How deeper trust can support shared learning between funders and grantees [30:39] Grant reflects on adaptive leadership, values, and predictability [38:08] Novi connects transparency with accountability  Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Center for Effective Philanthropy – A national nonprofit that supports more effective philanthropy through research, data, and resources for foundations and donors. Prebys Foundation – A place-based foundation working to advance purpose, opportunity, and belonging across San Diego County. Healing Through Arts and Nature – A Prebys-supported approach that expands access to arts, culture, and nature as resources for youth mental health and well-being.  Take Action: Practice Transparency – Share not only what you decide, but what you are learning along the way. Being open about process can build trust, even when the answers are still evolving. Build Relationships That Can Hold Honesty – Invest in relationships where people can share what is working, what is hard, and what needs to change without fear of losing trust. Stay Open to Feedback – Treat feedback as an opportunity to grow, not as a final judgment. Listening, reflecting, and adjusting are part of building stronger organizations and communities. Credits:This is a production of the Prebys FoundationHosted by Grant OliphantCo-Hosted by Crystal PageProduced by Adam Greenfield, Tess Karesky, Edgar Ontiveros Medina, and Crystal PageEngineered by Adam GreenfieldProduction Coordination by Tess KareskyVideo Production by Edgar Ontiveros MedinaThe Stop & Talk Theme song was created by San Diego's own Mr. Lyrical Groove.Download episodes at your favorite podcatcher or visit us at StopAndTalkPod​cast​.comSpecial thanks to the Prebys Foundation TeamIf you like this show, and we hope you do, the best way to support this show is to share, subscribe

Years ago, I tried something in my own practice that seemed like an obvious win: a 24-hour call center to make sure every call got answered. It made sense on paper. It failed in practice, and not for the reasons you'd expect. In this episode, I tell the full story of why the call center didn't work, what it taught me about the relational nature of chiropractic, and how that exact same lesson applies to the AI tools showing up in chiropractic offices today. I walk through a real conversation I had with a client who was being pitched a dynamic phone number system, essentially the modern, automated version of the same mistake I made years ago. From there, I lay out a simple principle for evaluating any technology in your practice: if it's only benefiting you and not your patients, it's worth reconsidering. I break that principle into two practical questions, transparency and frequency, and use some uncomfortable personal examples, including my own dentist, to show what happens when a practice gets either one wrong. This episode is not anti-technology. I use AI constantly in my own work. It's about making sure the tools you adopt strengthen the doctor-patient relationship instead of quietly eroding it. Topics Covered - The full call center story: why it seemed smart, why it failed, and what I'd do differently - Why chiropractic's high-touch, relational nature makes it different from most other businesses adopting automation - The dynamic phone number example and why "the technology exists" isn't the same as "you should use it" - The core principle: if the technology only benefits you, reconsider it or change it - Transparency: why patients should always know when they're interacting with technology, not a person - Frequency: how to tell the difference between helpful outreach and harassment - A real example of a raving fan turning into a lost patient because of over-automated follow-up - Why marketing advice built for mass audiences (Gary Vee, Dan Kennedy style "mail until they buy or die") does not translate to a practice with a few hundred patients - How to evaluate your own practice's current automation honestly If you want a free look at your website and local search, request a review at RocketChiro.com.

Tweetable Comments "Don't outsource your humanity." "People are human first and colleagues second." "Trust is a noun and a verb." "We can solve for respect, right? We can solve for trust." Intro Note: This transcript has been edited for clarity, readability, and length while preserving the core conversation and key insights from the episode. In this episode of b Cause Work Doesn't Have to Suck, Erin Hatzikostas talks with Minda Harts about workplace trust, the seven trust languages, leadership communication, rebuilding trust after mistakes, giving better feedback, psychological safety, and why leaders need to stop outsourcing their humanity. Why Trust Is the Real Workplace Issue Erin: I'm fascinated by your background because I'm like, "Oh yeah, she's all about trust. She's a speaker." And then I'm like, "Oh wait, she's a professor. Oh wait, she's a filmmaker. Oh wait, she wrote books." I'm curious about trust. It's not exactly the sexiest topic, but there must have been a moment or story that made you obsessed with it. Minda: The obsession actually started during COVID. I was living in New York City at the time, and I woke up around three o'clock in the morning. I kept hearing this voice saying, "The issue is always trust." I didn't think too much about it in the moment, but I wrote "trust languages" in my notes app. Over time, I kept coming back to it. The more I thought about all the writing I'd done over the years, I realized the real problem I was trying to solve was trust. In the workplace, when certain things happen, there's usually an expectation underneath that isn't being met. That erodes trust. But often, people don't even know they're doing it. So I started to see that it's not just a trust issue. It's also a communication issue. If the other person knew what you needed, could that get trust back on the tracks? In personal relationships, trust is a no-brainer. If I can't trust you, I don't know if this relationship is going to work. But in the workplace, we give people a pass for doing things that aren't trustworthy, and we never have conversations about it. The Seven Trust Languages Erin: I love the idea of trust languages because everybody thinks of love languages. You have seven trust languages. Where does it start? Do you need to understand the other person, or are these seven things everyone needs to do? Minda: My thesis is that we all have a primary, secondary, and tertiary trust language. There may be a time when we're speaking all of them, but if I'm a leader and you report to me, and I want to get the most productivity out of my entire team, not just my go-to people, then in our next one-on-one, I'm going to ask, "What does trust look like to you?" I want to make sure we have the most harmonious working relationship possible. I want to make sure you get the most out of being on this team. So what does trust look like to you? When someone answers that question, they'll usually tell you two or three of their trust languages without even knowing the labels. If I know feedback is important to you, or transparency is important to you, I can make note of that. Then when we're working together, I remember, "Erin values transparency. She values when I'm not being ambiguous. She values feedback that's meaningful and insightful." I tell people it's about the double E's. We're either enhancing trust or eroding trust. Erin: Always up or down. Minda: Exactly. We may not be able to solve everything at work, but we can solve for respect. We can solve for trust. The Question Every Leader Should Ask Erin: That question is so powerful. I used to lead a lot of employees, and I'm thinking, "Crap, if I could've simply said in one meeting, 'Trust is important. What does trust look like for you?'" Minda: I never had a manager ask me that. Not because they didn't want trust with me, but because we're all moving so fast in the workday that we forget there's a human on the other end. The data shows that if we have more trust, we're more productive and less anxious. I don't want to be the reason someone is spiraling through the day and not even know it. Erin: Imagine asking that in an interview when you're trying to attract the best talent. You think people aren't going to flock to that? They're going to be like, "Wow, I've never heard that before." Minda: Yes. And I write about that in the book. If you know acknowledgement is important to you, ask questions in the interview process that help you see whether that environment can provide it. Some people don't naturally say, "Great job. Thank you for delivering that project. I don't know where we'd be without it." That may not be the language they're most comfortable giving. But you may need that to survive and thrive at work. So tell people what's important to you. Advocate for yourself. We're not always going to work for the person who asks, "What does trust look like?" Sometimes you have to take the bull by the horns. Erin: And by sometimes, we mean most of the time. How to Ask for the Trust You Need Erin: Most of our listeners are leaders, but let's be honest, they're also employees. Everybody wants to be a great leader, but they also want to know how to be led better. Can you give an example of how someone might use the trust languages in an interview to understand what kind of manager they'd be working for? Minda: One trust language that is really important right now is sensitivity, which is about empathy and being mindful of our actions, tone, and behaviors. If I were interviewing, I might say, "Many people work together in the workplace, but they experience the workplace differently. If I reported to you and there was a natural disaster where I live, and I couldn't get into the office three or five days a week, how would we handle that?" That question tells me a lot about the manager. If they say, "Absolutely. Were you impacted by the fires? I know that must have been tough," that tells me something. But if they say, "Maybe you should move somewhere else because we need someone in the office five days a week," that tells me something too. You start to see how people humanize you, or whether they're robotic. Sensitivity, Security, and Psychological Safety Minda: Another example is what happens in meetings. We've all been in a situation where someone says a joke that isn't funny to everyone. Does the leader sweep it under the rug and let that person keep saying inappropriate things in team meetings? Or, if I have an issue, can I bring it to you without fear of retribution? A lot of trust is eroded in big team meetings. People speak over each other. People say things that are inappropriate, not necessarily because they woke up deciding to be inappropriate, but because they're used to talking any kind of way. That's where psychological safety comes in, which is connected to the trust language of security. Even if we have a difference of opinion, there should still be enough respect for me to have a good conversation with you. And if someone gives feedback, how do you receive it? Do you say, "I've never heard that before," and get defensive? Or do you say, "Let me consider what you're saying. Tell me more. Let me ask some questions." These behaviors keep showing up at work, and people don't always realize how detrimental they can be. Erin: Everybody's different. I'm thinking about two people who support my business. One is more on the sensitivity side. If something gets messed up, I know I need to say, "Dude, no big deal at all." And when something is done well, I need to say the thing that's already inside my head: "You crushed it." The other person is about as far from sensitive as you can imagine. For her, follow-through probably matters more. She's my operations person. It's more like, "Erin, you said you were going to send me three videos. Send me the three videos." Understanding those people is really important. How to Rebuild Trust After You Mess Up Erin: Rebuilding trust is always a big one. Let's say you screwed something up with a client, customer, or major project. What are some ways to rebuild trust that people may not think of? Minda: One trust language that matters here is demonstration. Do our actions align with our values? I can tell you all day that I'm going to make the tacos the way you expect them every time you come to the taco truck. But if every time you come, they're made differently, I'm not demonstrating that you can trust this place. When we make a mistake, we can acknowledge it. "You know what? We have a new cook. We're training them today. But we value you as a customer." Then we pay attention. "Oh, you like your cheese sprinkled this way? Now that I know that, I want to demonstrate that you can trust us. Next time you come, I'm going to check the bag before you leave." It's the show and the tell. A lot of times in life, we want to skip over the repair part. We say, "I said I'm sorry. Move on." But rebuilding trust requires demonstration over time. I believe if trust can be broken, it can be rebuilt, if it's not egregious. But it requires action. Trust is a noun and a verb. Erin: It takes patience. When we mess up, we want instant gratification. We want the wound to be healed right away. In a big corporation, it might be, "We'll give you a fee holiday," because we want something tangible and quick. But if you slow down and accept that it may be uncomfortable for a little while, then next week you can show up differently. You can go above and beyond. You can demonstrate the repair. Minda: Absolutely. And we also have to give people the opportunity to rebuild. If we've been burned in our personal or professional lives, sometimes we come into the next situation with our defenses up. You may be the best boss I've never had yet, but if I'm still holding onto hurts and broken promises from my last situation, I'm not going to get the best out of the situation with you, and you're not going to get the best from me. So we also have to be self-aware. Is this person really eroding trust, or am I bringing baggage from past experiences? Erin: Right. It's easy to tell stories like, "The boss is mad at me because I got a three-word email." But maybe the boss is running to another meeting and isn't actually worried about the mistake you made. What to Do When You Break Trust With Your Boss Erin: Let's say you mess something up with your boss. Maybe you botch a report, lose a customer, or mess up some technology. Beyond demonstrating that you can get it right next time, what else helps? Minda: Remember that your boss is human too. They have expectations you may not be aware of, especially if you're new to the team. You might say, "I know expectations can change depending on priorities, and I want to make sure we're aligned. I really enjoy working on your team, and I want our working relationship to be strong. What do you need from me to do your best work?" Success is not a solo sport. When you ask that kind of question, they may not say, "Transparency is important to me," or, "Follow-through is important to me," but they'll tell you something that reveals what matters. Then you can make a mental note. If you say you'll get something done by five and you can't, don't workplace ghost them. Follow up and say, "I know the deadline is approaching. Could I get an extension of one hour? I'll get it to you shortly." That keeps trust on the tracks. We create narratives in our heads that people will be upset with us, but most people just want honesty. We all bump up against deadlines. We all make mistakes. The issue is how we communicate it. The Leadership Mistake That Drives Minda Crazy Erin: What gets under your skin? What's your biggest leadership pet peeve? What's the simple thing leaders do wrong that you wish they'd change? Minda: I really value transparency, which is clarity and honesty. What gets under my skin is when leaders act like employees are stupid. We see the smoke coming out of the chimney. We hear the alarms going off. Then you come and tell us, "There's nothing to worry about. Nothing to see here." You may not know why the smoke is happening. You may not know why the alarms are going off. But acknowledge it. Say, "I know you've smelled the smoke. I've smelled it too. I don't know exactly what's causing it, but once I do, I'll let you know." That feels better and keeps trust intact more than pretending nothing happened. Don't pretend we didn't just do a reorganization. Don't pretend we didn't just lay off half the team. Let's humanize it. People are human first and colleagues second. Sometimes leaders think they can't be honest because they're privy to certain information. Then say that. "I don't have all the information right now, but I understand how this might make you feel. If you have questions, book time with me and let's talk it through." That feels much better than watching someone's work friend get laid off after ten years and then pretending nothing happened. Erin: I love that. Stop thinking your employees are stupid. The bar is low, isn't it? Minda: It's so low. Don't Outsource Your Humanity Erin: I saw a post where someone asked you a question about AI, and the gremlin that came out of you was, "Don't outsource your humanity." What caused that? Minda: Someone asked me about using AI in workplace communication. I think it's important to use the tools available to us. But what can happen is I put my thoughts into an agent, then I email you. Then you put your thoughts into an agent, and now you're emailing me back. At that point, we've taken ourselves out of it. It's just two agents talking to each other. There's no nuance. The tools don't understand the history of what happened in the meeting. They're getting it from one angle. So before you press send, just because the grammar is great and the message is direct, take another look. Think about the nuance. Think about the relationship. When this person finishes reading the email, how are they going to feel? What is the relationship going to feel like? If we're just two agents talking to each other, we may not be building trust. We may be eroding it. That's why I said, "Don't outsource your humanity." Erin: Preaching to the choir. I'm an authenticity girl. Sounding smart is now suspicious. Stop sounding smart. How to Give Tough Feedback Without Eroding Trust Erin: Can we talk about giving tough feedback? Whether it's an annual review or on the fly, I think the feedback sandwich is over. Maybe that worked when people didn't know they were being sandwiched, but now we all know. How do you give transparent feedback while still building trust? Minda: One thing I created is a game called The Trust Catalyst, which helps people practice these conversations so they don't erode trust. If we're doing a one-on-one or year-end review, I'm not going to start by launching into feedback. If you sit down or appear on Zoom, and the first thing I say is, "That report you did last week should have been done differently," you're immediately thinking, "I didn't know this was a problem." That sets the tone for the whole meeting. Think of the seven trust languages as tools. If you have a nail, you're not going to grab a wrench first. You're going to grab the right tool. Maybe you start with acknowledgement. Maybe you start with sensitivity because you know this person has had a rough year. When you do get to feedback, make sure it's meaningful and gives the person an opportunity to grow. It's not just what you say. It's how you say it. You can say, "We need to meet these deadlines more consistently. Is there something you need from me so we can make sure you hit this mark three weeks from now?" That sounds very different from making someone feel like they may not have a job by the end of the week. I always go back to the double E's. Is what I'm about to say going to enhance this relationship or erode it? Think about what you want the end of the conversation to look like. Do you want the person to feel down and out, waiting to turn off the camera? Or is there a way that when you see each other later, the relationship still feels intact? Growing up, my mom and dad could say the exact same thing to me, but when my dad said it, I wanted to spiral down the wall because his delivery was harsh. My mom could say the same thing, and I would receive it because I knew she was telling me in a way that helped me grow. That's something leaders and colleagues can do better. When Your Peer Becomes Your Employee Erin: Here's a sticky situation: your peer becomes your employee. You get promoted, and Joe, who used to be your sidekick and confidant, is now reporting to you. How do you build this new level of trust when the relationship changes? Minda: That happens a lot, and it can be sticky depending on which side of the friendship you're on. A big part of it is transparency. Talk about the elephant in the room. You might say, "I know we have a great working relationship, and now I'm in this leadership position. There may be times when I have to put certain priorities first, but I want you to know you can always come to me. I hope we can have two relationships: our working relationship and our friendship. There may be times when I have sensitive information I can't talk about like I could before, but I hope we can find that balance." I would much rather someone be transparent with me and create that sense of security than pretend I don't exist anymore or start acting weird. Nine times out of ten, if people would communicate instead of being conflict avoidant, we could have better relationships. We create narratives that it can't work, but why not talk about how it can work? Say, "If it ever feels like our friendship isn't there, or I'm acting differently because I'm in this role, tell me. I value that." We have to say what we mean without being mean. Erin: Exactly. Say the thing you're already going to say to your coach or your partner. Why not say it to the actual person? Minda: Yes. Because now I have that information. I may think everything is fine, but you may feel like, "We used to talk every day, and now we only talk once a month." You might assume I don't care as much now that I have this leadership title, when really, I'm just busy and hadn't thought about it. Again, many of these things are communication issues before they become trust issues. Green-Lighting Yourself Erin: You haven't just focused on trust. You're also a filmmaker, and part of that is telling stories about real-life situations, friendships, and the things that make life beautiful and complicated. So many people listening are trying to make work suck less, but they're also looking for inspiration to do things that feel uncomfortable or outlandish. Can you talk about the filmmaking side? Minda: I never intended to be an author. I fell into it. So I would encourage people to remember that you can learn new things. During the pandemic, I started taking screenwriting classes because I knew I wanted to take the stories I'd been telling and share them in another medium. I wanted to be a better storyteller, and I'm a big advocate of investing in yourself. Whether I win an Oscar, a Webby, or nothing, I wanted to enhance that skill. I also thought about the intellectual property I have and how I could tell those stories in different ways. I started taking classes about six years ago. At some point, I said, "I'm not going to wait for the green light from somebody else. I'm going to green light myself." So I started making short films. I kept taking coursework, reading books, finding my crew on social media, and asking people around. Now I'm four short films in, and they've been in many festivals. It feels good to uncover a new area of my life that I'm good at. Maybe I'll win Oscars in the future. Maybe I won't. But I'm enjoying this part of my life because it's another way to get stories heard by people who may never read my books. Erin: You said something so simple: "I took a class." So many times we act like we don't even know where to start. But there's a class for everything. Minda: Everything. Erin: Just take the class. Get curious. Minda: I'll tell you and your listeners a secret. Since I was a teenager, I've always wanted to take piano lessons. Every year, I'd put it on the vision board: "Take piano lessons." And I never did. But later today, I'm taking my first piano lesson. I may end up in a recital with preschoolers, but this is for me. Sometimes we just have to do things for us. Minda's "Buck That" Story Erin: We always ask people for their "buck that" story. It's a time when you bucked the norm, went against the grain, and something good happened as a result. Do you have one? Minda: Yes. It's the intersection where I sit now. I was in corporate America for 15 years, and in 2015, I started this dinosaur thing called a blog. I was frustrated about the workplace I was in. There was no trust anywhere. The blog was a way for me to talk about what I was experiencing, not from a "woe is me" place, but from a place of, "If anybody else is feeling this way, here are the tips I wish I had used or that I'm working through." Every Monday, I put out a memo. Eventually, those memos became my first bestselling book, The Memo. I had no idea that would happen. Now I'm on book four and making films. So sow those seeds. Take the step. I left a very stable job, and I was terrified. I'm type A. I love stability because I didn't have a lot of it growing up. I thought, "Give me the gold watch. I'm here forever." Taking that leap, betting on myself, and bucking the system showed me that success isn't just one way. I think I'm a constant "buck that" girl now. That's just how I live. Erin: Once you buck it once and it works out, that's the end of the story. That's why we love to share these stories for people who are holding themselves back. One Last Tip to Make Work Suck Less Erin: What's your one last tip to make work suck less? Minda: Ask yourself, "What do I want out of work?" Sometimes we do things at work to make work work for everybody else, but we never consider what it needs to look like for us. Once you understand what you need, you can ask for it more clearly. Not what the person next to you wants. Not what someone on Microsoft Teams wants. What is really going to make you say, "This was worth the ride"? We should remember that we are good enough to deserve the best workplace possible.

Josh Swihart is the founder of ZODL: the Zcash Open Development Lab. Basically a for profit reincarnation of the old Electric Coin Company, which inherited the dev teams and projects. During his previous Bitcoin Takeover podcast appearance in November 2024 (S15 E62), Zcash was a struggling privacy project with very little support and a rather disappointing price action. In June 2026, Zcash is the rising star of the cryptocurrency market, with plans to scale to billions of users and ever-improving shielding technology. In this episode, we talk about the good, the bad, and the controversial moments in the recent history of Zcash... and why Bitcoin didn't activate Zerocash yet.

The affidavit submitted by attorney Bradley J. Edwards in the Southern District of Florida lays out a detailed argument for why the U.S. government should be compelled to produce documents related to the federal handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Edwards, representing Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2, explains that the requested records are essential to proving that federal prosecutors violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) by secretly negotiating and finalizing Epstein's 2007–2008 non-prosecution agreement without notifying the victims. He asserts that internal DOJ communications, emails, memoranda, and investigative records would show what prosecutors knew, when they knew it, and how deliberate their decision was to exclude victims from the process despite clear statutory obligations.Edwards further argues that the government's resistance to producing these materials undermines transparency and prevents the court from fully evaluating the extent of the misconduct. He emphasizes that the victims cannot meaningfully litigate their CVRA claims without access to evidence exclusively in the government's possession, particularly records documenting decision-making within the U.S. Attorney's Office and DOJ headquarters. The affidavit frames the document production not as a fishing expedition, but as a narrowly tailored request necessary to expose how Epstein was granted extraordinary leniency, how victims were intentionally misled, and how federal officials acted with impunity while shielding both Epstein and themselves from accountability.to contact me:bobbycacpucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.flsd.317867.265.1_1.pdf

Natalie Ecanow explains that Qatari wealth is controlled by the Al-Thani autocracy, whose values often conflict with U.S. interests, such as their support for Hamas and the Taliban. She highlights the lack of transparency in Qatarifunding, citing a lawsuit that revealed nearly half a billion dollars in undisclosed money sent to Texas A&M University, and calls for stricter U.S. disclosure laws.

For years, child care marketing followed a pretty familiar formula: build a beautiful website, drive traffic, collect reviews, book tours, and convert families once they walk through the door. But in 2026, that path just is not as neat or predictable as it used to be. Families are researching differently, AI is changing how information gets found, and many parents are making decisions long before they ever visit a school in person.   In this episode, Jennifer sits down with Parissa Snider, Chief Marketing Officer at WatchMeGrow, for a conversation that goes far beyond ads and websites. Together, they talk about trust, transparency, parent psychology, and what the full family experience now says about your brand, from the first search to the tour to the follow-up after. This episode is a fresh look at what enrollment and marketing really mean now, and why the schools that build trust most clearly are the ones families are more likely to choose.   Key Takeaways: [5:45] Marketing now lives inside the full family experience, not just in ads or website clicks. [6:10] Parents are increasingly getting answers from AI before they ever visit a school's website. [8:10] The old marketing funnel is no longer linear and has become a messy back-and-forth decision process. [8:33] Lower website traffic does not always mean lower interest if families are still converting further down the path. [10:08] Schools need website content that helps AI understand and surface real information about who they are. [12:10] FAQs matter more than ever when they answer the actual questions families are really asking. [13:01] Transparency around difficult topics is becoming a stronger trust-builder, not a liability. [15:05] In many cases, pricing transparency creates more confidence than withholding information. [19:02] The strongest websites speak to parents' fears and needs, not just the school's features. [21:11] Families want the curtain pulled back and are more likely to trust schools that show the real experience. [22:55] Trust and reassurance are deeply human needs, which is why communication matters so much in child care. [27:11] Follow-up should uncover hesitation and uncertainty, not just push for the enrollment decision. [31:24] The schools that win will be the ones that reduce uncertainty and build trust at every step. [34:41] Families stay more connected and loyal when they feel like participants instead of observers.   Quotes: "Lower traffic does not always mean lower interest." — Parissa Snider [8:33]   "Transparency equals customers." — Parissa Snider [13:24]   "I think that starting now, consumers are not going to reward only the businesses with the biggest ad budgets. They're going to reward the businesses that reduce uncertainty and make a huge and visible effort to build trust, the ones that have trust in mind in every step of the experience" — Parissa Snider [31:24]   "Participation equals ownership." — Parissa Snider [34:38]   Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray @iamkrismurray Jennifer Conner The Child Care Success Company The Child Care Success Academy The Child Care Success Summit Grow Your Center Childcare Education Institute: Use code CDARenewal22 to get $100 off your renewal WatchMeGrow's Free Guide to Marketing 2026 Parissa Snider
