With juicy listener questions, viral video clips, and laugh-out-loud moments, Spirit dishes on how to spot performative affection vs. the real deal, why relationships fall apart when you stop trying, and why it's totally OK to expect (and get!) more from love.  SHOWNOTES Infidelity, ownership, and why it's NOT your fault The hard convo: when “life stuff” gets in the way of intimacy The MANY forms of infidelity, yes, emotional and financial too The ultimate red flag: when you start to shrink Why the real offense is when you stick around Take your power back, he doesn't need to change for you to leave Why we crave validation from the very people that hurt us Are your “forevers” even aligned?

In this provocative and reflective episode, Dr. Dan interviews transformational coach Thomas Blottenberger about purpose, self-awareness, and what it means to grow from the inside out. Together, they explore how culturally inherited narratives, survival-based programming, emotional numbness, and the performance trap silently shape our lives — and how to break free. Thomas shares the story of his own awakening, describing the internal disintegration that precedes meaningful change. He discusses the courage required to face long-standing patterns and the liberation that comes from choosing curiosity over shame. Through exploring themes of authenticity, leadership, emotional mastery, presence, and empowerment, this episode challenges listeners to rethink the stories they tell themselves and reconnect with who they really are. In addition, Dr. Dan and Thomas dive into the myths of work-life balance, the power of presence, why optimizing the external never creates lasting fulfillment, and how the process of becoming requires patience, compassion, and reflection. They explore how our earliest experiences shape adult behaviors, how men often externalize their power, and why transformation requires slowing down rather than “fixing.” This conversation is an invitation to wake up, sit in awareness, release old narratives, and consciously choose a life aligned with your purpose, integrity, and deepest values.

This episode is part of the "Inches Are All Around Us" series looking for all the little pockets—inches, if you will—that comprise the greater than $1 trillion in healthcare waste in this country annually. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Many of these inches, if we hack them out, will actually improve patient care because these inches are just like the friction that's in the middle. To this end, I started thinking about FQHCs (Federally Qualified Health Centers), which are (these FQHCs in this context, if you think about it) kind of a great laboratory for scrappy and amazing case studies about finding and cutting out waste with some serious fiscal discipline. The thing with FQHCs and why they are great places to I spy inches of waste is really because if an FQHC has a budget shortfall, they cannot solve it by cost shifting to commercial patients, commercial members, commercial plans. They have no commercial patients.  Also, they have a patient population that many would consider challenging, and they cannot restrict access. They gotta make do with what they have. They must have actually true fiscal discipline. They either figure out how to be efficient, or their patient population does not get care. But what tipped me over the edge to revisit this episode from 2021 with Gary Campbell—who is the CEO of an FQHC, by the way—I picked the show to revisit because of my conversation with Nikki King, DHA, that I had earlier this year (EP470). Nikki and I caught up, and she is now the CEO of an FQHC in Indiana. I had interviewed Nikki, by the way, about rural health a few years ago (EP338). So, go back and listen to that if anything I say today you find intriguing for other reasons. Tribe, this is interesting to think about what I'm about to tell you. Really. I've been thinking about it for six months. I wanna start out here recapping my aforementioned catch-up conversation with Nikki King as the lead-in to my conversation with Gary Campbell to follow. And to be specific here, Gary Campbell is the CEO of an FQHC in Virginia called Johnson Health Center; and Nikki King is CEO at Alliance Health Centers in Indiana. Let me tell you one thing that Nikki King did. There are many things that she did, but here's one that she told me about. Nikki realized after talking and listening to their patients that one of the biggest barriers to getting care at her FQHC for patients was no transportation. Also, as most FQHCs, they were short on funds. So, doing things like free Ubers or something like that was not an option. So, you know what Nikki did? She thought about where her patients are. For example, most referrals to their addiction treatment services came from the courthouse—a judge remanding, if that's the right word, someone to treatment. So, two birds with one stone style, Nikki marched over to the courthouse facilities person and asked if they had any open office space at the courthouse, you know, work from home and all of that. Maybe there were some open offices. Well, the courthouse did. They had some open offices. So, now rent-free or almost rent-free, I don't, I'm not sure, when a judge says to somebody, "Go get addiction treatment," that judge can also point down the hall and the patient can just walk over. Nikki did the same thing, setting up a clinic in a day care center. She set up a clinic in a homeless shelter and right by a big basketball court. You compare and contrast this, I don't know, "just get it done" approach to all of the times that you hear about "some cash-strapped entity" who decides the best thing to do immediately is new construction. Pay to build brick and mortar and then in perpetuity, of course, pay all the costs and the snow removal and the security and the utilities and repair for that new construction. And they could be an FQHC building new buildings—one of the less scrappy ones—but it also could be a big, consolidated health system or anybody in between. It's amazing how many times you hear "razor-thin margins," and then you hear "new construction" in the same sentence. I'm like, "Yeah … gotcha. Upsize." Call it my Pennsylvania Dutch and Bronx heritage. But yeah … head exploding. That was a tangent. Bottom line, however, I say all this to say FQHCs (the ones with great leadership, at least) are a wonderful case study to look for insights on how to operate in an environment that cannot rely on, again, raising commercial rates and cost shifting to balance the budget, right? Let's not forget, there are two very different ways to end up with no profit: One is genuine struggle. The other is simply being very good at spending every dollar that is given to you. For plan sponsors, this is a vital distinction, regardless of how loud anybody cries poor, any clinical partner who lacks fiscal discipline isn't struggling; they're inefficient. And we do not have a market in healthcare to be able to tell who's struggling versus who is inefficient. So, yeah … keep that in mind and listen to episode 490 and 492 after this one with Shane Cerone and Sam Flanders, MD, for more on the whole "there's no market" theme, as well as more on the fiscal discipline topic. But again, this is why FQHCs are such a good case study here, because there's an upper limit to how much money they have. In most circumstances—I mean, barring some big donation or something like that—but under most circumstances, they have a revenue cap that they have to be disciplined enough to work within. Okay … one last thing before we kick into the show today. I wanna be really clear here. Fiscal discipline isn't something that any individual doctor or nurse or other clinician can tackle in a vacuum. Or even any given administrator. It is a leadership imperative. Great leadership doesn't just manage the clinical side. It takes accountability for the administrative waste that keeps margins thin and prices high. So, here's actionable advice for anybody listening, regardless of what you may or may not have to do with FQHCs. If you're a plan sponsor looking for a clinical partner, consider, like, what Nikki King is doing and the thinking that Gary Campbell is gonna talk about as a benchmark. Real value comes from finding the organizations that treat fiscal discipline as kind of a mission critical strategy, because these days, with all the affordability issues, it is financial toxicity is clinical toxicity. I mean, maybe you can find an organization that actually does unit cost accounting. Listen to the show with Mick Connors, MD (EP495). Okay … as I said earlier, my guest today is Gary Campbell, who I spoke with in 2021—so this is a deep cut from the archives, but it's also a really great show. Gary, as I said earlier, is CEO of Johnson Health Center, which is an FQHC, in Lynchburg, Virginia. He's also the president of Impact2Lead.

In this episode of Shrink for the Shy Guy, Dr. Aziz dives deep into one of the sneakiest traps that keep us stuck: deferring decisions. Whether it's fear of making the wrong choice, wanting more clarity, or simply waiting for the “perfect time,” delaying decisions comes at a steep cost—and it's often invisible until it's too late. Dr. Aziz unpacks how avoiding decisions drains your confidence, erodes momentum, and reinforces the illusion that you're not ready or capable. He shares a radically freeing mindset shift that allows you to make powerful choices now, even if you're scared, uncertain, or don't feel 100% “ready.”

I explore the counterproductive nature of trying to "fix" anxiety and how this can inadvertently reinforce its presence in our lives. Instead of viewing anxiety as an adversary to conquer, I encourage listeners to reconsider their approach and shift to a mindset of coexistence and understanding.Drawing on the themes from our recent discussions, I highlight that anxiety, while challenging, is a natural human experience. It's important to differentiate between healthy stress that comes and goes and anxiety that lingers, causing distress. Many of us fall into the trap of fixing mode, believing that we must eliminate anxiety entirely before we can lead fulfilling lives. This perspective can lead to constant self-monitoring, excessive reassurance-seeking, and avoidance behaviors that ultimately entrench our anxiety rather than alleviate it.The episode emphasizes the paradox that comes with the insistence to fix anxiety. Every time we obsessively monitor our feelings or seek validation from others, we signal to our nervous system that something is amiss, thus heightening our anxiety rather than softening it. I propose a radical shift in our mindset—inviting listeners to treat anxiety not as a problem, but as a companion on the journey of life.

A trap is most effective when it serves as a calculated surprise rather than a predictable pattern; if you trap every possession, a disciplined team will eventually find the open man and make you pay. The ideal moment to pick a trap is often during a "dead-ball" transition or immediately following a made basket when the opponent's lead guard is slightly casual with their entry. By identifying the weakest ball-handler on the floor and timing your trap to catch them near the sideline or the "coffin corner," you maximize the psychological pressure and increase the likelihood of a panicked pass or a 10-second violation. The "Where" of the trap is just as critical as the "When," with the half-court line and the corners acting as your "third defender." A successful trap should aim to pin the ball-handler against a boundary, effectively cutting off their vision and limiting their passing lanes. Coaches should drill the "No-Split" rule, ensuring that the two trappers are knee-to-knee and utilizing active, high hands to mirror the ball without reaching for a foul. When you pick a trap in the mid-court area, it forces the offense into cross-court "skip passes" that are high-risk and high-reward for your interceptors. Mastering these specific "trap zones" in January ensures your defense has the versatility to disrupt an opponent's rhythm during the high-stakes conference schedule. Finally, the decision to pick a trap must be rooted in your team's current personnel and the specific scouting report of the opponent. If you are facing a team with a dominant, high-IQ point guard, trapping may be your only way to get the ball out of their hands and force the "other" players to make decisions. However, a trap is only as good as the rotation behind it. Your three "interceptors" must be fully committed to reading the ball-handler's eyes and anticipating the escape pass. By using member calls and film study to identify which opponents struggle with "hot" pressure, you can strategically implement different traps—like the "Diamond" or "1-2-1-1"—to turn a close game into a blowout in a matter of minutes.

The narrative is seeded, the pitfalls are many and the dangers are huge. Responsibility is concentrated and blame can be more easily assigned. There are now actors more interested in chaos than restraint. It makes him look like a tyrant. AI is explained, moralized and described to death. Greenland is important for national security. Standard procedure for the MSM is to distort all stories. Domestic terror cells were activated yesterday. Why is the insurection act promoted by both political parties? All media outlets are pushing it too. Unconventional warfare is now raging. RINO's sing a sad tune. The law and the narratives are no longer alligned. Framing is more important that facts. Full authority means a concentrated spotlight. It's all a show. Passport issues are now common for Americans. The purple ones are temporary. How do you lose your passport? People are training overseas to overthrow our government here. FAFO started here. Specific shows sent pointed messages. A look back at some previous immigration related shows. The Jewish side of the welfare fraud. Let's play fair with terrorism accusations. China has military bases in Canada. Now is the time to stop playing the games and concentrate on what is truly important.

What does it actually mean to be vegan? For most people, the answer is simple—until it isn't.This week on Food for Thought (celebrating 20 years!), I explore what happens after someone stops eating animal products…when the (seemingly) neat definition starts running into the messy reality of the world we live in.Most of us don't actually live by strict definitions, but when real-life scenarios arise that defy simple answers, conflict and confusion can follow, leading to questions like:What about plant-based foods made on shared equipment?What about burgers cooked on the same grill as meat?What about taking life-saving medications that may have been tested on animalsWhat about sugar filtered with bone char?And then there's the bigger question underneath all of it: Who gets to decide what “counts” as vegan? After all, this isn't the Boy Scouts, where you take a pledge, earn merit badges, and defer to a Scoutmaster. Why does it feel like that to some people?In this episode, I talk about how an intention rooted in compassion and wellness can unintentionally morph into something else entirely—a purity test. One that confuses the public, exhausts vegans, and sometimes pushes people away from even making kinder, healthier choices in the first place.I also revisit the origins of the word vegan and why it was never meant to function like religious dietary law, a moral checklist, or a tool for policing one another.In this episode, we look at:* Why “becoming vegan” isn't about dogma or doctrine* How perfectionism undermines progress* Why some grey areas are personal lines—not universal rules* And why focusing on purity distracts us from the real problem: the billions of animals brought into this world only to be killedIf you've ever struggled with grey areas as a vegan, this episode is for you. And if you're not vegan but have been turned off by what looks like rigidity or contradiction, this conversation is for you too.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott delivers a complete three-part psychological analysis of the Nick Reiner case—examining what was happening in Nick's mind, how the Reiner family became trapped in a 30-year cycle, and why the mental health system failed despite unlimited resources.Nick was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder around 2020. His medication was changed one month before the murders after he complained about weight gain. Sources say he now admits killing his parents but believes his incarceration is a conspiracy. His meds still aren't stabilized.The Reiners had "grown used to" Nick's behavior. They brought him to parties because they were afraid to leave him alone. They paid for 18-plus rehab stays. Michele reportedly said "we've tried everything."Dr. Drew said 30-day programs were "almost meaningless" for Nick. He needed permanent custodial care. Patient autonomy laws let him refuse. The Reiners did everything families are told to do—and it still ended in tragedy. Shavaun explains what went wrong at every level and what other families need to understand.#NickReiner #RobReiner #TrueCrimeToday #MentalHealth #Psychology #FamilyDynamics #ShavaunScott #SystemFailure #SchizoaffectiveJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The fastest way to make a service company unsellable is building it around a personal brand.  When clients hire you—because of your reputation, your name, and your specific expertise—you haven't built a business; you've built a high-paying job.  And as Gavin Bell realized, you can't sell a reputation.  Gavin was known as the "Facebook Ads Guy" in the UK. He was making good money, but he knew that to build a sellable asset, he had to fire himself as the face of the company.  He rebranded his firm from "Gavin Bell" to "Yatter," productized his service, and systematically removed himself from sales and delivery.  The result? He sold Yatter to a larger agency, Velstar, in a deal that closed just one minute before a major tax deadline.  In this episode of Built to Sell Radio, Gavin breaks down exactly how he made the switch.

Political polarization has become a top concern for Americans, surpassing issues such as immigration, inflation or crime, according to an October 2025 poll by The New York Times and Siena University. This is a major shift from before the 2024 election, when it "barely registered" as an issue. Most voters now doubt the country's divisions can be overcome.  Still, Americans also say they want leaders to cooperate across party lines. So what should be done? Liam deClive-Lowe believes that part of the answer is to make it less risky for politicians to collaborate across the aisle. He's the president and co-founder of American Policy Ventures (APV), a nonpartisan organization that works with members of Congress, philanthropists and policy leaders to “de-risk cross-partisan collaboration and pragmatic governance.”  The APV team, including former Republican and Democratic staffers, seeks to achieve this by changing the incentive structures that deepen polarization. When politicians are seen working with the other side, they are often demonized by their own base. DeClive-Lowe wants cooperation to become something that is rewarded, not punished.  APV is just one of a number of recently formed groups in the nation's capital looking to promote bipartisanship and solve the polarization crisis. DeClive-Lowe will join Commonwealth Club World Affairs to discuss the growing movement, APV's efforts, and actions ordinary citizens can take. Learn more about your ad choices.

Whitebridge is more than just a stop along the Arinelle — it's one of the quiet pivot points of The Wheel of Time that changes the direction of the story forever. In this episode of the Black Tower Podcast, we take a deep dive into Whitebridge: its history, geography, and why this seemingly unimportant town becomes the site of one of the earliest, most consequential moments in the series.

From subtle foreshadowing to long-term character consequences, Whitebridge proves that in The Wheel of Time, no place is ever truly small. Whether you're a first-time reader or a veteran who's walked the Pattern many times, this episode will make you see Whitebridge in a whole new light.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains how Rob and Michele Reiner became trapped in a cycle of crisis and normalization with their son Nick that lasted 30 years and ended in tragedy.Sources say the family had "grown used to" Nick's alarming behavior. At Conan O'Brien's party the night before the murders, other guests considered calling 911—but the Reiners just apologized and left. They paid for 18-plus rehab stays. Michele reportedly said "we've tried everything." And Nick lived in their guest house until the night he allegedly killed them.Shavaun breaks down the psychology of families who normalize behavior that would alarm strangers, how mentally ill individuals learn to manipulate the people who love them, and why unlimited resources couldn't save the Reiners. We also examine what happens to surviving family members after a parricide and why Nick's siblings reportedly oppose the death penalty.#NickReiner #RobReiner #TrueCrimeToday #FamilyDynamics #MentalHealth #Psychology #ShavaunScott #Enabling #ReinerCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

They want you to be passive and quiet. But history tells a different story. We're joined by award-winning comic creator Ben Passmore, author of Black Arms to Hold You Up: A History of Black Resistance, to dig into the stories that history books, and Hollywood, whitewash: De-sanitizing Resistance: We discuss how films and media often strip away the political intellect of figures like the Black Liberation Army, reducing revolutionary struggle to nihilism. Community as Armor: Ben puts the focus on true resistance as mutual aid. From the Jane Collective organizing healthcare, to prisoners organizing even from solitary confinement, the most radical act is building a culture of care. The Trap of Online Activism: In an age of surveillance capitalism, Ben warns that we must move beyond the "power fantasy" of social media. Real solidarity happens offline, face-to-face, building trust that algorithms can't suppress. As MAGA's Supreme Leader expands the surveillance state through Peter Thiel's Big Brother Palantir and unleashes a KKK gestapo through ICE, we must learn from unfiltered history and understand what it actually takes to survive. January 15th is the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. The Civil Rights movement ushered in the Third American Revolution, defeating the authoritarianism of Jim Crow, which John Roberts' Supreme Court is bringing back. Listen to our episode on Stride Toward Freedom, the memoir by a young MLK Jr. after he captured the world's attention leading the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott.

It was a pleasure to visit with Nell Derick Debevoise, a leadership strategist and creator of the Lead in 3D framework. She is dedicated to helping high achievers find fulfillment without burnout by aligning three dimensions: Me (wellbeing), We (teams), and World (impact). After leading humanitarian missions in war zones and the West Bank, Nell experienced a personal collapse that taught her the dangers of being one-dimensionally focused on impact. She now advocates for Systematic Subtraction by helping leaders move away from the "more is more" mentality to find the most efficient path to their desired results. Enjoy the show!

Mohini Kissoon: When Politeness Becomes the Enemy of Team Growth—Escaping the Conflict Avoidance Trap Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "Conflict isn't the enemy. It's when we're avoiding conflict that it becomes an issue for teams." - Mohini Kissoon   Mohini shares a story about the worst self-destructive pattern she has witnessed: teams that are overly polite to avoid addressing conflicts. She worked with a team that prided themselves on being collaborative and drama-free, but beneath that politeness was a hesitancy to have difficult conversations. It started small—in sprint planning, the Product Owner would propose unrealistic scope, and people would just nod and accept. Someone might say "that's quite ambitious," but no one would actually push back. In retrospectives, feedback was always wrapped in layers of positive framing. When a developer consistently delivered work that didn't meet the Definition of Done, no one called it out directly—they just quietly fixed it or worked around it. After three months, side conversations started emerging where people would pull Mohini aside to share concerns they would never voice in the room. The team was skipping the storming phase of the Tuckman model, and this avoidance eventually led to missed deadlines and frustrated stakeholders. The key learning: healthy conflict brings the energy teams need to innovate and grow.   In this segment, we talk about the Tuckman model and why the storming phase is essential for team development.   Self-reflection Question: Is your team's harmony genuine collaboration, or is it a facade hiding unspoken frustrations that will eventually surface at the worst possible moment? Featured Book of the Week: Turn the Ship Around by David Marquet Mohini discovered Turn the Ship Around by David Marquet at a time when she was working with multiple teams and feeling exhausted from being the person everyone looked to for answers. She thought that's what servant leadership meant, but she was actually creating dependency rather than capability. The book tells the story of how Marquet took command of the worst-performing submarine in the US Navy and transformed it into the best by fundamentally changing how leadership worked. "Instead of the traditional leader-follower model, he built a leader-to-leader structure where everyone was expected to think, decide, and own their work," Mohini explains.  The key insight was that we don't just empower teams—we need to build an environment where they can grow and don't need permission to excel. This shifted Mohini's approach: instead of saying "here's what I think we should do," she started asking "what have you tried so far? What do you intend to do next?" The book also emphasizes that pushing decision-making down requires providing the knowledge and context teams need to make good decisions.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Feast of the Baptism 2026 - The Trap! by Fr. Josh Waltz

THE ANACONDA STRATEGY AND THE NEO-ENGAGEMENT TRAP Colleagues James Fanell and Bradley Thayer. Fanell and Thayer discuss the "Joint Sword 2024 Alpha" exercises, describing them as an "Anaconda strategy" where the PRC practices suffocating Taiwan through blockades and missile strikes. Thayer argues that despite these overt threats, Washington remains captured by the "neo-engagement school," mistakenly believing that economic engagement can democratize China. They critique "elite capture" within US institutions, noting that the Bidenadministration has largely continued Obama-era policies rather than confronting the reality that the CCP is transforming international norms rather than being transformed by them.
