Ever worked somewhere that claimed "we're a family" but treated you like anything but? Stephen Bump has seen both sides—and he's building something different with Persperity.In this conversation with Cam and Otis, Stephen shares his journey from Air Force leadership to founding a consultancy that's deliberately challenging the "always-on" culture of modern business. "They actually treated people really well and understood that people had a life outside of work," he reflects about a former employer that got it right.From battling his own "shiny object syndrome" to making tough calls about which opportunities to pursue, Stephen offers a refreshingly honest look at the early stages of building a purpose-driven business. Plus, Otis shares a laugh-out-loud story about military decision matrices that anyone who's ever had their carefully-crafted presentation ignored by the boss will relate to.Whether you're scaling a business, leading a team, or just trying to find work that respects your whole life, Stephen's practical approach to building a company that values both results and people will leave you with actionable insights.More About Stephen:Strategic leader with deep expertise in life sciences, defense, and aerospace. At Persperity, I lead multi-million dollar initiatives for Fortune 500 clients, enabling them to scale within regulated industries. My career spans high-stakes program management with the U.S. Air Force, impactful continuous improvement projects at Eli Lilly, and Lean Six Sigma transformations. I started Persperity for two reasons: to help life sciences companies break through manufacturing and regulatory roadblocks so they can scale fast and meet demand, and to give employees the flexibility they crave without losing sight of meaningful, purpose-driven work. #10xYourTeam #LeadWithPurpose #PeopleOverProcess #AntiAlwaysOn #WorkLifeRespect #PurposeDrivenLeadership #BuildBetterCulture #FromMilitaryToMission #StartUpWithSoul #RealLeadershipMatters #NoMoreFakeFamilyChapter Times and Titles:The "We're a Family" Business Trap [00:00 - 12:00]Introduction to Stephen BumpThe problem with companies claiming to be "family"What good employers do differentlyLife Outside of Work Matters [12:01 - 17:00Building flexibility into early-stage businessesHow different life phases change what employees valueStephen's approach at PersperityFighting Shiny Object Syndrome [17:01 - 25:00]"Just because there's an opportunity doesn't mean you should go after it."Defining your business focusStrategic decisions in life sciences manufacturingWhen Gut Feeling Trumps Analysis [25:01 - 30:00]Otis's military decision matrix storyThe value of the process, even when the outcome is predeterminedFinding a balance between analysis and intuitionWorking On vs. In the Business [30:01 - 40:00]Stephen's honest struggle with stepping back"For me, working on the business means doing billable work."Building fences to prevent founder burnoutConsulting Relationships That Work [40:01 - End]The challenge of clients who don't follow adviceBuilding trust through expertiseFinal thoughts on creating meaningful workStephen BumpWebsite: https://persperity.net/

In coaching, the biggest blocks are often the ones we can't see—because we're too busy wearing them. In this episode, we uncover the three most common masks that show up in the coaching world: overachieving, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. These masks might appear productive or noble on the surface, but they're actually rooted in fear—and they can sabotage both you and your clients.If you're a coach, chances are you've worn one (or all) of these masks yourself. You may also see your clients hiding behind them—pushing themselves to burnout, waiting endlessly for “perfect,” or sacrificing their needs to keep others happy. We'll break down how these masks form, how they quietly erode progress, and how to help yourself and your clients take them off.This episode is a must-listen for any coach who wants to create deeper transformations. You'll walk away with powerful mindset shifts, practical reframes, and reflection questions to move from self-protection to self-expression—for you and the people you serve.To start a successful coaching business, visit ⁠www.thrivingcoachacademy.com⁠.

Common college debt traps are avoidable! Emilie Chowdhury was lucky to learn smart money habits early on, but after nearly a decade in the corporate world, she realized most of my friends—brilliant, educated women—had never been taught how to manage their finances. And the truth is, we shouldn't have to rely on luck to learn this. Financial education should be accessible to all of us. That's what sparked this community: no MLMs, no get-rich-quick schemes, no clickbait. Just honest, approachable, and supportive guidance. Inspired by the power of strong female friendships, Emily's mission is to give you the tools to take control of your money so you can thrive, not just survive. In episode 585 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Emilie decided on Northwestern University, what was special about Alpha Chi Omega, her journey from the corporate world to financial literacy education, what inspired her, how you can flip the "I'm a broke college student" mindset, what are some budgeting strategies for college students, tips to improve chapter-wide financial literacy for treasurers, how to avoid common college debt traps, how to get started with investing, and small steps you can take to own your first home. Enjoy!

Political Storm in India | Fadnavis Traps Anti-Hindi Alliance | Rahul's Surrender before Tejaswi

This week, we look at the outcome of the case against Sean ‘Diddy' Combs in the US - and how evidence of domestic abuse, coercive control, and power dynamics were ignored and misunderstood with the help of our media. We also discuss those viral videos of fans queuing to see Chris Brown, a convicted abuser, on the same week he stands trial for Grievous Bodily Harm. After the break, welfare is taking a bashing on both sides of the Atlantic. But did you know the UK and US already fall far down the rankings when it comes to state benefits? Labour has been ridiculed for yet another ‘U-turn', as benefit cuts are reversed and Rachel Reeves' crying face is plastered on every front page. Is it the ableism of the U-turn coverage, or the sexism or the Reeves coverage, that'll win this week's media storm prize? We end with Eyes on Palestine - has the world had the wool pulled over its eyes by Netanyahu's "new aid plan"?

Trump is trapping the Democrats with their predictions and lies about his policies, and his policy results.According to one expert, Trump's handling of China has the Saudis mad at China. The Arabs are mad at them as well. Next, Trump is winning the argument on illegals. His policies will bring $150.7B (cost of illegals in 2023) back into the treasury. That's $1156 per taxpayer. Almost $16T over a decade, and that doesn't include all the savings.Trump confounds the “experts”. And he's redefining "expert" to its previous meaning. Their power and influence has traditionally played an important role in society – but this authority is increasingly being questioned from many sides.The "experts'" opinions are being brought down by Trump's results.

The email said, “I talked my spouse into going to therapy.” Another one asked, “How do I drag my spouse to therapy?” Oof. The first person was proud of the “convincing.” The second person got my response: You Don't! (Unless, of course, you want to damn the process from the very beginning… and in that case, drag away!) Marriage therapy tends to be the default response to a marriage crisis (although the stats would not support this as the preferred action). If there is a problem, time to head to therapy! First task: get a spouse there. By pressure, if necessary. I think there is a (false) belief that if you can just get them there, the therapist will work some magic and convince the spouse to work on the marriage. The therapist won't/can't. And your spouse won't. Fail/fail. But why? There are some Therapy Traps that you fall into when you try to drag a spouse into therapy (I cover the Traps in the podcast episode below). And in the process, you actually cause further entrenchment on the part of your spouse that things won't work out. Yep, it makes things worse. I explain why in this episode of the Save The Marriage Podcast.  Listen below. RELATED RESOURCES Therapy Problems Can You Save It Alone? Can Your Marriage Even Be Saved?

What Does Extreme Heat Do?Since the pre-industrialized era, the global temperature has increased by about one degree Celsius. Although one degree may not seem significant, the consequences are increases in the intensity of heatwaves and drier conditions. In addition, in dense urban settings buildings trap and absorb this heat and cause even a higher area of heat relative to surrounding areas. The heat island effect is also exacerbated by the lack of greenery. With current fossil fuel emissions, increased heating of 1.5 degrees Celsius or more is predicted to happen globally within this decade. Among the most promising solutions to combat extreme heat in cities is the effort to promote natural systems – trees, creeks, and parks in cities and creating resilience hubs where people can stay cool and safe from dangerous temperatures.  Because heat impacts individuals in multiple ways, the response to extreme heat must also be multifaceted.  Responses to Extreme HeatThere are many possible responses to extreme heat. On an individual level, for example, when human body temperature rises to the point of heat stroke, individuals are subject to serious illness or in some cases, death.  Heat poses a particular threat when the body is physically unable to cool down. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), between 2000 and 2016, 125 million more people were exposed to heat waves than in the period before 2000. Actions individuals can take to reduce heat exposure include avoiding going outside at peak temperatures, reducing the heat inside of homes, and if reducing heat at home is not an option, going where air conditioning is available. For some vulnerable populations like farmworkers, staying inside where there is air conditioning is not an option. In some states, like California, a temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit initiates the California's Heat Illness Prevention Standard, which is enforced by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).  The Standard requires that training, water, shade, and rest be provided to outdoor workers. Currently, there is no federal protection or policy for workers who may experience extreme heat. While a proposed rulemaking is in the works, it may take years before a final regulation is completed.How to Establish Resilience and Safe HubsIn the meantime, there are key actions that anyone can take, including something as simple as making extreme heat a topic of discussion as part of increasing awareness. By spreading awareness and recognizing the consequences of extreme heat, politicians and policymakers will be much more likely to pay attention to the issue and to community necessities. Global and local temperatures are continuing to rise, and, as a result, it is important to have community access to locations with air conditioning systems, heat pumps, and safety hubs particularly in communities whose residents do not have home air conditioners. Hubs may include libraries, churches, schools, and nonprofits which can be essential for providing both a cool place to shelter and a source of information and assistance.Shifting to more green spaces is also an important solution to mitigate the impacts of increased heat. In New York, the Highline is a great example of transforming an old historic freight rail line into a park filled with rich greenery. The incorporation of nature into a previously urban dense space provides the city with more trees and access to green space. Addressing extreme heat in cities requires new approaches and creative thinking for a suite of implementation strategies to provide cooling to the public and creation of green space. Who is Our GuestJeff Goodell is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet, which focuses on responses to extreme heat. Goodell is also a journalist who has been covering climate change for more than two decades at Rolling Stone, The New York Times Magazine, and many other publications. He has a BA from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MFA from Columbia University in New York.Further ReadingLindsey and Dahlman, Climate Change: Global Temperatures (Climate.org, 2024)Dickie, Climate Report and Predictions (Reuters, 2023)California's Heat Illness Prevention Standard (Cal OSHA)Krueger, Heat Policy for Outdoor Workers (The Network for Public Health Law, 2023)Heat and Health (WHO, 2018)Heat Island Effect (The United States EPA)Climate Resilience Hubs (Communities Responding to Extreme Weather)Sustainable Practices | The Highline (The Highline)For a transcript of this episode, please visit https://climatebreak.org/alleviating-urban-heat-traps-with-jeff-goodell/

All we should say about this one is YOU HAVE GOT TO LISTEN THIS PODCAST.  As Rigger put it, "when one of our audience members told me I should really consider doing a podcast about the North American Trap Collectors Association I yawned right after I read the words Trap Collectors. But I promised when I started hosting this Podcast that I would consider ALL suggestions. So, I looked into it. The next thing I knew it was 4:00 AM and I was still online looking at traps, yes, traps! I am without a doubt totally addicted, enthralled, fascinated, I could go on. An no not because my guest Brad Davis is a charismatic guy, he's not. It is the subject of this that got me! It is INCREDIBLE. " So, there you have it gang Downrigger Dale is, shall we say "trapped" in this topic. But seriously this truly is fascinating. The members of the North American Trap Collectors Association or NATCA collect the rare, strange, and even the typical traps and many of those date back hundreds and hundreds of years. On July 10th they will be holding a great event showing, buying, selling and best of all telling their amazing stories about their traps. You'll hear about  Mouse traps, fly traps, bird traps, fish traps and get this, even Man Traps. There will be one at the event at the Larry Creek Campground outside of Florence Montana. But first listen to this podcast you are going to get "trapped" into this subject just like Rigger did. Make sure you watch this one on YouTube you will see some really cool stuff and yes you will see the Man Trap as well. Why were they trapping people in Europe hundreds of years ago?

These days, the health and wellness industry really isn't much better than it was years ago, especially when it comes to the chronically ill getting the help they need for healing. Some aspects have improved, but for the most part it's still the same old sea of confusion out there. Carb-free diets, milk cleanses, meat only diets, extreme water fasting, bone broth cleanses, intermittent fasting, eat-what-you-want diets, trendy supplements filled with natural flavors, or supplements that are just toxic in general...the list goes on and on. It's a wonder how the chronically ill can find their way through it all. And then there's the good ole Oxalate Theory that peaks its ugly head out every five years and torments the people who are already tormented by what ails them. There are a few reasons why oxalate fear is still here and it's the same reasons so many other fads and trends of health are still here: it's marketing, PR campaigns, shock and awe strategies based on fear, and to this day, no one really knows why people are really sick. Just say oxalates are the cause and the fear takes over; it's an easy sell, but it's not the reality. It's still a world of guessing games out there. The health movement keeps reigniting and spreading oxalates over and over again. An unfounded theory that holds people with chronic illness back and places them in a fear-based mentality with food...this is a nightmare. And as far as the influencers and health professionals that keep talking up and spreading oxalate fear, let's just say it's truly sad in so many ways. The truth is almost every food has oxalates in it, including animal protein. The people screaming their heads off about oxalates are picking on a small list of fruits and veggies, and spinach takes the biggest hit. Meanwhile, spinach is a powerful healing leafy green for the chronically ill. In this episode… Discover why oxalate fear is a recycled health trend trap that diverts chronically ill people from effective healing paths. Learn how testing for oxalates is unreliable and lacks accuracy. Find out why the fear of oxalate-rich foods is unnecessary and harmful, and why foods like spinach, celery, and potatoes are demonized. Learn how kidney stones are not caused by oxalates and why that's a flawed theory. Discover the truth about viral infections and how they are the real cause of many chronic illnesses, not oxalates. Find out why the oxalate theory is recycled misinformation and how it resurfaces periodically, misleading new generations of health seekers. Learn how mainstream and alternative health practitioners can unintentionally spread misleading oxalate fears. Even well-meaning doctors and health coaches may unknowingly promote harmful ideas due to lack of experience with chronic illness. Discover how Medical Medium tools (like celery juice and zinc) are real solutions and effective treatments for chronic conditions, as opposed to avoiding oxalates. All this and more, tune in and don't miss out on this important episode. You can revisit this episode anytime you need it. For more information visit www.medicalmedium.com

In this episode, I'm talking about how to avoid traps. A trap is something that looks fun, easy, or like a good deal but in the end, it costs you more than you thought. People fall into traps all the time because they don't see the danger until it's too late. I'm breaking down how to spot these setups before you get caught. This all comes down to discipline and learning to think before you jump. Show Notes:  [02:05]#1 Beware of the free lunch.

In this highly anticipated return episode of An Educated Guest, host Todd Zipper welcomes back Paul LeBlanc, former President of SNHU and current Chairman of the new AI education startup, Matter and Space. This captivating conversation dives deep into how Artificial Intelligence is not just a buzzword, but a transformative force fundamentally reshaping education.Paul explains how AI is being leveraged today for massive productivity gains in operations and curriculum design, challenging educators to rethink pedagogy from "product" to "process." They explore the critical question of whether AI can finally bend the cost curve of higher education and democratize access, where previous technologies fell short. The discussion also bravely confronts the societal implications of AI, from its potential to inadvertently increase loneliness if not carefully managed, to its power to unlock a "golden age" focused on uniquely human jobs like teaching, social work, and healthcare. Paul shares his vision for Matter and Space's human-centered approach to AI-powered learning and paints a compelling picture of what the learning ecosystem could look like in 5-10 years.Key Takeaways from this Episode:AI's Real-World Impact in Education: Discover how AI is driving significant productivity gains in university operations and curriculum development right now.Rethinking Pedagogy in the AI Age: Learn why educators must shift their focus from assessing "products" (like essays) to guiding the "process" of learning with AI, using advanced prompting and critical evaluation.Bending the Cost Curve: Paul's perspective on whether AI can finally make quality higher education radically more affordable and accessible, addressing the systemic challenges he outlined in his book "Broken."The Human-Centered Future of Work: A bold vision for how AI might displace information-age jobs, creating an imperative to prioritize and properly value distinctly human roles focused on care, connection, and community.AI's Societal Dichotomy: A candid discussion on the risk of increased loneliness and decreased social competency due to technology, and AI's potential to either exacerbate or mitigate these challenges by fostering genuine human interaction in learning environments.About Our Guest:Paul LeBlanc is the former transformative President of Southern New Hampshire University and now serves as Chairman of Matter and Space, an AI education startup. A renowned innovator and author of "Broken," Paul is recognized for his pioneering work in online and competency-based education, and his deep insights into the future of learning, technology, and access.

And today's topic is to avoid the dangerous traps that the world presents to us.We are in first John two and 15, and the Bible tells us not to love the world or the things in the world, because the things that are in the world are not of the father. Okay. And what are these things? What are the dangerous traps?They are the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. We went over the lust of the flesh, and the way to overcome the flesh is by yielding to the spirit. We went over the lust of the eyes. That's the second trap.The lust of the eyes describes someone who's captivated by an outward show of material things. And the way to overcome the lust of the eyes. It is to renew your mind every day. And how do you know your mind is renewed? You know your mind is renewed when you have a high value of eternal things.
