Scrupulosity is often misunderstood as a faith problem — but treating it that way is one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck.In this episode of The Restored Minds Show, licensed therapist Matt Codde, LCSW explains why scrupulosity isn't about faith, belief, or not trying hard enough — and how fear hijacks religious themes and projects onto God, salvation, and belief systems.If you've been told to pray harder, believe more, or do more religious behaviors — yet still feel anxious, distressed, or disconnected from peace — this episode will help you understand what's really happening and what actually leads to recovery.Rather than trying to solve scrupulosity through faith-based reassurance, Matt explains why healing comes from addressing the fear loop and nervous system state, not the content of the fear itself.
What do you get when you mix a CPA, a homeschooling mom of three, two podcasts, and a “try anything once” mindset? In today's episode, I'm joined by my friend Teran Sands - CPA, content creator, and host of What Your CPA Wants You to Know and Well This Wasn't the Plan. She shares what it's like to co-host two different podcasts and how her path led her into podcasting in the first place. With over 364,000 Instagram followers and a rapidly growing online presence, Teran breaks down why she approached the launch of her second podcast differently than her first, why waiting for things to be perfect can hold you back, and how she treats her content like a real business by using data to guide growth. We also dive into navigating negative comments, why online success rarely happens overnight, and how consistency and experimentation fueled her momentum. We wrap things up with a live coaching session focused on monetizing her homeschooling podcast, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the same strategic questions and ideas I use in my one-on-one podcast consultations.

Are your meetings indistinguishable from 1940s wartime sabotage tactics? You're not alone. In this episode, Rebecca Hinds, author of Your Best Meeting Ever: Seven Principles for Designing Meetings That Get Things Done, reveals why corporate meetings have become the single most dysfunctional practice in modern organizations—and how to fix them. Brandon and Rebecca explore a radical idea: what if we treated meetings like products, applying the same design principles that make great products great? From "meeting doomsday" (a complete calendar reset) to Amazon's study hall approach, Rebecca shares actionable strategies that organizations like Slack, Dropbox, and Shopify have used to declare war on meeting bloat. You'll discover why double-booking has become a toxic badge of honor, how the visibility bias makes us associate presence with productivity, and why crowdsourcing your agenda using the "Dory method" can transform boring monologues into engaging collaboration. Rebecca also tackles the AI paradox—why more meeting bots might be making your meetings worse, not better—and shares the "iron rule" that every leader needs to embrace. If you've ever walked out of a meeting wondering what you just accomplished (or why you were even there), this episode is your blueprint for change. Don't miss Rebecca's insights on why meetings are the most important—and least optimized—product in your organization.

What if burnout, inflammation, and "doing everything right" but still feeling awful isn't a failure—just a missing map? In this episode of Unconventional Life, host Jules Schroeder sits down with functional medicine expert, genetic strategist, and stand-up comic Dr. Sam Shay. Together, they unpack why health optimization breaks down during major life transitions, how functional medicine bridges data and lived experience, and why inflammation, genetics, and nervous system load are often the real root issues. This episode is for anyone navigating midlife transitions, chronic symptoms, or energy crashes—and it matters because without a roadmap, even the best tools won't get you where you're trying to go.

Tracy Stuckrath is the founder of thrive! meetings & events, where she helps planners, venues, and chefs stop accidentally poisoning their guests (a low bar, but here we are). After being diagnosed with a food allergy and realizing she couldn't safely eat at her own events, Tracy built a mission around safer, more inclusive hospitality, and later launched the "Eating at a Meeting" podcast during COVID. Susan and Tracy talk about safety, systems, and signage. • Simple tools that actually make event planning smoother • How Tracy's career pivots happened without a "master plan" • The moment she realized the industry wasn't feeding people safely • Why the people who "get it" fastest usually have restrictions themselves • How kitchens and front-of-house accidentally play telephone with allergens • Why labeling food lowers liability instead of raising it • The top nine allergens that cause most reactions • How food allergies and celiac can count as disabilities under the ADA • Why smaller, more intentional menus may beat endless buffet chaos • What the future of event menus could look like: fewer surprises, clearer trust • The one phrase Tracy wants the industry to stop saying immediately *** Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Inclusive food practices are a business decision, not just a courtesy. Treating food allergies and dietary restrictions seriously reduces risk, builds trust, and makes events more accessible and welcoming. When guests feel safe eating, they participate more fully and remember the experience for the right reasons, which directly impacts brand perception and loyalty. 2. Most food-allergy failures aren't about ingredients — they're about communication breakdowns. Problems usually happen when information gets lost between sales, planners, kitchens, and front-of-house teams. Clear systems, standardized language, and consistent labeling matter more than heroic last-minute fixes. Inclusion fails when teams don't talk to each other. 3. Smaller, more intentional menus outperform "abundance." The future of event food is fewer choices that are clearly labeled, thoughtfully designed, and easy to trust. Guests don't want endless options they can't safely eat. They want a handful of well-considered ones that reflect care, place, and purpose.

On today's show we are talking about the adoption of AI in the workplace. We're going to look at three studies that were done last year by Harvard University and the Boston Consulting Group. The third was done by Microsoft and looked at about 370,000 employees using Copilot. The studies looked at AI usage and productivity gains for certain types of tasks. The results were quite striking.The study found that even with widespread initial usage for the first three week, many employees stopped using AI in their daily work. In fact, the true adoption of AI in daily work seems to be following an 80/20 rule with nearly 80% dropping the use of AI almost altogether. For those on mobile devices, usage continued, but the usage shifted to being more like a search tool rather than a full on AI assistant.The issue doesn't appear to be related to basic training. People are averaging 6 hours of training and they learn how to generate prompts. The issue is that they hit a wall. The study found 20% monthly active usage. The rest are dormant after that initial period. So why am I telling you this? This is a real estate podcast, not an AI podcast. Real estate investing is a business like any other business. It has all of the same basic functions. It has a finance function, operations, customer service, quality assurance, project management. All of these functions can have their productivity improved to some degree with the adoption of AI somewhere in the workflow. -----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

What do you want the second line of your obituary to say? For most people, it reads "father of three" or "survived by spouse and children." For Childfree people, that line looks different. This episode tackles the identity crisis that comes when your career defines you and you're facing a major transition without the traditional markers of legacy.Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP® sits down with Drew Blickensderfer, two-time Daytona 500-winning crew chief and current Competition Director at Front Row Motor Sports, to discuss his transition from crew chief to leadership after nearly 20 years at NASCAR's highest level. This conversation reveals how Childfree people can create legacy through leadership, not lineage.Key Takeaways:The obituary question reframes identity: What do you want the second line of your obituary to say? Legacy through leadership, not lineage: Childfree people build impact through mentoring, developing talent, and doing the morally right thing for others' careers. Being Childfree enabled career longevity: Crew chiefs rarely last 19 years. No children meant Drew could travel 36-38 weeks per year, miss no little league games, and pursue his dream longer than peers with family obligations.Platinum rule over golden rule: Treating people how you want to be treated fails with different generations and learning styles.Small wins sustain teams through adversity: When winning seems impossible (35 losers every NASCAR race), celebrate incremental progress. Episode Host:Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP® - Founder & CEO of Childfree Wealth®, Childfree Trust®, & Childfree Insights. Jay embedded with Drew's NASCAR team for a year to research leadership and legacy for Childfree individuals, creating what he calls his "secret project" exploring how people build impact without traditional lineage.Meet the Guest:Drew Blickensderfer - Competition Director at Front Row Motor Sports. Two-time Daytona 500-winning crew chief with 19 years in NASCAR. Drew transitioned from crew chief (NASCAR's "head coach") to competition director, managing multiple teams instead of one. Being Childfree allowed him to travel constantly and stay in his role longer than most, while now entering an encore career with better work-life balance.About Childfree Life by Design: Childfree Life By Design is dedicated to helping Childfree individuals thrive by providing resources, guidance, and community.

Dasa and Andy discuss the joy and magic inherent in the game of golf. From a beginner overcoming the shanks, to Jenny hitting a 200 yard drive, the game is full of magic if we pay attention. They explore why golf analysis treats rounds of golf the same way the doctors in "The Pitt" treat a dead body, and talk about why this common approach may be causing more harm than good. They end by suggesting that not trying to fix things could be the first step to improvement for every golfer.

Most B2B podcasts fail because they skip strategy and jump straight to recording. In this solo episode of Pipe Dream, host Jason Bradwell breaks down B2B Better's Podcast to Pipeline Framework, a six-step system designed to turn a podcast from a “nice content idea” into a revenue-generating GTM asset. Jason's core point is that marketing strategy matters more than microphones. The goal isn't to ship episodes, it's to create commercial momentum. That's why B2B Better positions itself as a podcast marketing agency, not just a production company: a podcast should drive pipeline, create revenue, and ultimately turn a profit. Anything else becomes a vanity project that dies after a handful of episodes. From there, he walks through the six phases: 1) Strategy development (the most skipped step). Instead of asking what gear to buy, brands should define what success looks like, who the audience is, and what messages matter. Jason runs strategy workshops with stakeholders across marketing, sales, product, and leadership to build a “show blueprint” that clarifies the what/why/who/how and prevents random feedback from derailing things later. 2) Funnel mapping. Most companies treat podcasts as top-of-funnel awareness only, but Jason argues podcasts can move buyers through awareness, consideration, evaluation, and conversion when you map content intentionally. He introduces B2B Better's distribution grid to align segments and content to different buyer awareness stages and distribution paths. 3) Pre-production. This is the setup work that makes recording smooth: scripting, guest booking and research, and establishing visual/audio treatments so the show feels consistent and intentional. 4) Creative treatment. Here Jason draws a key distinction: production is editing raw footage into a finished episode, while producing is editorial oversight and strategic control to ensure the episode hits the right messages. Many brands only buy production, but what they really need is a producer who can guide the conversation and keep the content aligned to the goal. 5) Integrated campaigns. Distribution and promotion shouldn't be “repurpose one episode into 100 assets.” Jason pushes back on that trend because it often creates redundant content that doesn't move the needle. Distribution has to match the objective: brand awareness might mean short clips plus paid spend; ABM might mean sales enablement and targeted account plays. 6) Reporting and optimisation. A show isn't static. Someone needs to review performance at the episode, channel, and show level with what's working, what isn't, and what market feedback is signaling and then feed that back into strategy (stay the course, pivot, or double down). If you're launching a B2B podcast or already have one that feels like it's going nowhere, Jason's framework is a practical way to treat podcasting like the GTM asset it should be, align every phase to commercial outcomes, and avoid the “six episodes then abandon it” trap. 00:00 - Introduction: From concept to commercial results 01:30 - Why B2B Better is a podcast marketing agency 03:00 - Phase 1: Strategy development and the show blueprint 06:00 - Phase 2: Funnel mapping and the distribution grid 09:00 - Phase 3: Pre-production essentials 11:00 - Phase 4: Creative treatment - producing vs production 14:00 - Phase 5: Integrated campaigns and smart distribution 17:00 - Phase 6: Reporting and optimisation 20:00 - How to get started with B2B Better Connect with Jason Bradwell on LinkedIn Check out Jason's several tools in building guest lists: HubSpot CRM Clay Apollo Explore B2B Better website and the Pipe Dream podcast
Great dentistry doesn't sell itself if patients can't see it. Many dentists struggle to explain conditions, earn trust, and grow into the type of practice they want because their communication relies too heavily on words. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt sits down with Dr. Zach Sisler, cosmetic dentist and educator, to break down the three lessons he learned the hard way about dental photography. You'll learn how photography improves case acceptance, strengthens branding, sharpens clinical skills, and creates better communication with patients, labs, specialists, and your team. If you want photography to work for your practice instead of sitting unused, listen to Episode 1001 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Dental photography helps clinicians get out of their own way by letting patients see conditions instead of hearing long explanations.What dentists find impressive in photos is often different from what patients want to see, which is typically full-face smiles and relatable transformations.Consistent photography strengthens a practice's brand and helps patients recognize what services are possible.Treating camera equipment as an investment requires daily use; unused equipment produces no return.Reviewing clinical photos allows dentists to self-critique and continuously improve their restorative outcomes.Photography improves communication with labs and specialists by providing clearer information and better collaboration.Snippets:02:20 Who Dr. Zach Sisler is and how his practice evolved.05:00 Why dental photography is a non-negotiable for modern practices.07:47 How photography helped Zach get out of his own way with patient communication.12:05 The difference between what dentists want to see and what patients want to see.18:14 Why branding matters and how photography supports it.19:16 Treating camera equipment like gym equipment to get a return on investment.23:26 How photography improves clinical self-critique and growth.29:23 How photos improve lab and specialist relationships.34:23 Addressing time concerns and when to invest in photography.36:29 How much of the photography should be delegated to the team.Dr. Zach Sisler Bio:Dr. Zach Sisler is a cosmetic dentist and educator practicing in rural central Pennsylvania. He transitioned a traditionally focused practice into an aesthetics-driven practice by integrating comprehensive dental photography, advanced restorative techniques, and consistent branding. Dr. Sisler teaches hands-on photography and over-the-shoulder restorative courses, both in his office and on-site for dental teams across the...
"I'll just do it myself" sounds responsible — until it becomes the habit that traps you. Every time you step in, you trade time for control, energy for certainty, and short-term relief for long-term pressure. Doing everything yourself doesn't just slow growth — it builds a business that can't move without you. Knowledge stays in your head, systems never get documented, and your availability becomes the bottleneck. Over time, that creates exhaustion, resentment, and the feeling that your business is heavier than it should be. The shift doesn't start with hiring. It starts with a better question. Instead of "Who can I give this to?" ask: "What would need to exist for this not to need me?" Processes, standards, and simple systems make delegation safer — not riskier. Bottom line: You're not failing at leadership. You've just been paying a price no one warned you about — and now you get to choose differently. ✨ Stay Connected & Get Exclusive Access: Join the Private OmniSAM Community: omnisam.com.au/gsdgroup Facebook Group: gsdfb.omnisam.com.au Follow on Facebook: facebook.com/sallysparkscousins Watch the Live Stream & Subscribe for More Updates: OmniSAM YouTube: youtube.com/@omnisamsoftware Sally Sparks-Cousins YouTube: youtube.com/@sallysparkscousins
Most fundraising events won't fail in 2026 because donors changed. They'll fall short because the experience didn't.In this “home team” conversation, we call out what organizations are still getting wrong—and what the best teams are already doing differently. From the death of the “hybrid event” as a livestream add-on, to why “simpler” events aren't a trend (they're a correction), this episode is a straight-up standard-setting breakdown of what excellent looks like next year.What Most Organizations Will Get Wrong in 20261) Thinking “hybrid” means “in-person + camera.”The crew makes the case that the COVID-era definition of hybrid is done. If you want a remote audience, you have to build a real, intentional experience for them—not tack on a tripod in the back of the room.2) Blaming donor behavior instead of clunky execution.Donors still want connection. They still want to give. What they won't tolerate anymore is friction—long check-in lines, confusing processes, and experiences that feel outdated compared to the convenience they get everywhere else.3) Treating “simpler events” like a trend.This isn't minimalist chic—it's reality. Too many revenue moments, too many “things,” too many asks… and guests hit a wall. Simplicity is the correction that improves the donor experience and makes it easier to execute well.4) Planning from the inside out.If you start with revenue goals and budget constraints, you'll design a functional event—not a memorable one. The teams that win in 2026 start the other way: outside-in. What should guests feel? What should flow effortlessly? What should disappear?Who This Episode Is ForDevelopment directors, event leads, and nonprofit teams running signature events where “good enough” isn't good enough—especially if your board, major donors, and top sponsors will be in the room and you can't afford a clunky experience.Key TakeawaysIf you want remote participation, design for remote—don't livestream an in-room event and call it a day.Donor expectations aren't the problem—your execution is.More programming doesn't equal more money. It often equals guest fatigue.Start with the guest experience, then build the revenue mechanics around it.Connect with Handbid:https://www.handbid.com https://www.instagram.com/handbidauctions/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/handbid/
Friend, can I speak to you heart to heart about your body and your faith for just a moment? So many Christian women love Jesus, read their Bibles, pray sincerely — and still feel overwhelmed, discouraged, and stuck in their health journey. In this episode, I share five truths God had to teach me about treating your body like a temple — not a project to perfect. For a long time, I used fitness to try to fix what only God was ever meant to heal. So often, we bring our faith into every area of life — except this one. And yet, God cares deeply about how we steward our bodies, not from a place of perfection, but from a place of grace, wisdom, and trust. In this episode, you'll hear: Why fitness was never meant to fix your worth Why your body is not a problem to solve, but a handmade, uniquely designed temple to steward Why what worked before may not work in this season How to stop fighting your body and start partnering with God How to ask God for wisdom for the season you're in If you've been stuck in the cycle of: trying harder → feeling worse → starting over… this episode is for you. This is not about more discipline. It's about more grace. More wisdom. And learning to care for your body the way God always intended. Ready to Walk This Out With God? If you're longing for a faith-centered way to walk this out — not alone, not in confusion, but with wisdom and support…

T3 is the most talked-about thyroid hormone — and the most misunderstood. In this episode of the Thyroid Answers Podcast, Dr. Eric Balcavage breaks down Total T3 and Free T3 using a clear, Q&A-style format to address the most common questions, mistakes, and treatment traps patients and clinicians fall into. You'll learn: What T3 actually represents — and what it does not The difference between Total T3 and Free T3 (and why you need both) Why low T3 is often an adaptive response, not a deficiency Why adding T3 medication can help short-term but worsen physiology long-term Why "chasing Free T3" is one of the biggest mistakes in functional medicine How stress, inflammation, illness, dieting, and medications alter T3 levels Why labs can improve while patients feel worse How to interpret T3 correctly within the full thyroid panel This episode is essential listening if: You've been told your T3 is "low-normal" but still feel terrible You feel better on T3 medication at first — then worse Your labs look good, but your symptoms don't match You want to understand thyroid physiology beyond numbers and ranges
What if instead of trying to "stop the scroll," you started talking to your audience like they already care about what you have to say? I'm sitting down with Mackenzie Heflin to talk about how coaches and experts can use storytelling to build real community and make sales, without gimmicky hooks, performative content, or feeling like you have to constantly be "on" online. We talk about what it actually looks like to treat platforms like Threads, TikTok, and Instagram like a private community instead of a stage, and why that shift changes how people connect with you, trust you, and decide to work with you. Mackenzie shares how to educate without overwhelming, how to use client stories when it's not your lived experience, and how storytelling becomes one of the most effective long-term sales tools for experts.

I just teach people how to story tell." "The simplest shift I have my clients make is changing how to into how I—because it makes your audience care about you, not just the information." "When you give people too much information before they're ready, that doesn't lead to conversion—that leads to confusion."

Consistency isn't who you are — it's how your business is designed. Most people aren't inconsistent; they're exhausted from making too many decisions. When everything requires willpower, consistency breaks down. Not because you're failing, but because there are no defaults or systems in place. Consistent businesses don't rely on motivation. They rely on structure — clear weekly rhythms, simple systems, and realistic expectations. Bottom line: You don't need more discipline. You need fewer decisions. Build better structure, and consistency becomes automatic. ✨ Stay Connected & Get Exclusive Access: Join the Private OmniSAM Community: omnisam.com.au/gsdgroup Facebook Group: gsdfb.omnisam.com.au Follow on Facebook: facebook.com/sallysparkscousins Watch the Live Stream & Subscribe for More Updates: OmniSAM YouTube: youtube.com/@omnisamsoftware Sally Sparks-Cousins YouTube: youtube.com/@sallysparkscousins
In our latest update, we discuss current treatment of retinopathy of prematurity as well as new developments in disease prevention with Dr. Darius Moshfeghi, Professor of Ophthalmology, Stanford University, Director, Retina Division, Byers Eye Institute.
Internal medicine and functional medicine physician Shiv K. Goel discusses his article "Mind-body connection in chronic disease: Why traditional medicine falls short." Shiv explores the limitations of conventional medical models that focus solely on acute intervention while ignoring the emotional roots of chronic conditions. He shares the compelling story of Linda whose physical ailments were deeply connected to decades of suppressed grief and trauma. The conversation delves into the science of psychoneuroimmunology and how unprocessed emotions get stored in the body's tissues eventually manifesting as disease. Shiv explains why true healing involves not just medication but also meditation and somatic therapy to rewrite the body's internal narrative.

You've seen the testimonials in the chat. Maybe you're still on the fence. This episode is the deep dive—we're breaking down exactly how IBC and options trading work together, running the actual math (even with worst-case assumptions), and sharing real results from clients who started trading less than four months ago.We walk through the order of operations: should you fund your trading account first or pay premium first? How do policy loans actually integrate with a brokerage account? And what happens when the market eventually turns?We also address the elephant in the room—why some people think this is a scam, and why that criticism fundamentally misunderstands how the strategy works.If you've been waiting for proof of concept before jumping in, this episode gives you the numbers and the framework..Chapters:00:00 – Opening segment01:35 – Credit card discussion04:42 – IBC + low stress trading integration06:18 – Three core questions we're answering this episode07:43 – Everything financial is connected—your dollars are one ecosystem09:27 – Will the bull market last forever?11:08 – Why it's felt like the bottom could fall out for five years straight13:47 – The importance of growth strategy even within protect-save-grow14:53 – What happens when the market tanks and trading gets harder16:02 – Why having capital on the sideline matters19:03 – Using one policy for investing, one as an untouched emergency fund22:13 – Treating the policy loan as interest-only (and why that's different than a car loan)25:22 – Brian's whiteboard: $50K policy loan compounding at 1%/week28:54 – Year-by-year breakdown with taxes and loan interest factored in37:42 – Worst-case scenario still produces 31% annual returns40:07 – Order of operations: fund premium first or trading first?43:58 – Why protect-save-grow means IBC comes before trading46:47 – Worst-case math revisited: 8% interest, 30% tax, 0.8% weekly returns54:18 – "Best scam I've ever been a part of"58:02 – The value of a structured education vs. free YouTube1:01:37 – Closing thoughts and how to joinKey Takeaways:IBC and trading aren't separate strategies—they integrate. Every dollar in your financial life is connected. Using policy loans to fund a trading account lets your capital work in two places at once: compounding in your policy and generating returns in the market.The math works even under worst-case assumptions. At 8% loan interest, 30% taxes, and only 0.8% weekly returns, a $50K policy loan still produces roughly 31% annual returns. With more realistic numbers, the results are dramatically better.Order of operations matters. Fund your IBC premium first, then borrow against it to trade. This keeps protection in place, maximizes tax benefits, and lets your policy cash value grow uninterrupted.You control everything. Trades happen in your own brokerage account (Schwab, Robinhood, etc.). No one else touches your money. The "scam" criticism misunderstands the structure entirely.Real clients are seeing real results. Members of our trading group are reporting 1%+ weekly returns, with some replacing significant portions of their income in under four months.Having capital on the sideline matters. When the next market downturn comes, those with cash available in their policies will be positioned to buy at the bottom

Chi's answer points to:Preparing the team—and the campus—for the future skill sets needed in modern learning environments.Meeting expanding demands: conferencing, capture, collaboration, active learning, and rapid shifts in pedagogy.Treating AV as part of a broader AV/IT solutions ecosystem, not a standalone technical island.5) Smart campus, not just AVThe conversation expands into the broader vision:AV systems already contain meaningful data (occupancy, environmental signals, usage patterns)—the opportunity is connecting it to the rest of campus.Collaboration across departments (facilities, security, events, transportation, IT, and more) becomes possible when you build a platform that can integrate.Chi shares work toward data aggregation and dashboards, including collaboration with a Data Lake approach to create better operational insight and decision-making.6) The team behind the pilotChi introduces the core members of his team and their contributions:Project coordination and process leadership (including agile/scrum-style development support)Technical design and 2D/3D modeling workflows, standards-based design language for facilities alignmentSoftware/automation engineering, signal distribution/recording, and architecture to connect devices to the cloudPartnerships with manufacturers to improve firmware/APIs and enable deeper integration at scaleJoe underscores how innovation required close collaboration between UCLA, solution providers, and manufacturers—engineering alongside engineering.7) Career growth: from technical expert to leaderJoe shifts the conversation to professional development: what changes when you move from “doing” to “leading.”Chi shares leadership themes that have guided him:Staying humble, collaborative, and relationship-drivenBalancing strong technical conviction with empathy and communicationCreating opportunities for the next generation by helping people navigate common roadblocks (communication, attitude, relationship dynamics)Treating the industry like a community—because you'll keep working with the same people for years8) The HETMA community impactChi shares how community support—especially collaborative technology evaluation and shared learning—helps smaller institutions gain access, influence, and manufacturer attention they might not get alone. Joe reinforces the higher ed ethos: we're collaborators, not competitors.Memorable Moments / Quotes (paraphrased)The awards matter because the people choose—it's advocacy, not just adjudication.The pilot isn't just “AV”—it's building infrastructure for a smart campus platform.The real work is turning AV data into insight and integration that improves the campus experience.Calls to ActionVote for Chi Hang Lo — AV Professional of the YearVote for UCLA's Classroom Modernization Pilot — Project of the YearVote for HETMA — Technical SupportAnd vote for the products, people, and projects you believe represent the best of 2025.Vote now: https://www.avnation.tv/avnation-best-of-2025-awards/Connect with Chi Hang Lo: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chihanglo/

What if the problem with treating the R sound isn't the child—but the way we train it? In today's episode, we step outside the field of speech-language pathology and borrow powerful, evidence-based principles from exercise science and kinesiology to rethink how we treat speech sound disorders. Why? Because exercise science has done what our field largely hasn't: isolated what actually works using controlled trials, precision, and specificity. Speech is a complex neuromuscular skill. Treating it like flashcards and passive listening don't make sense—and they don't produce durable change. In this episode, you'll learn how five core principles from exercise science directly apply to improving the R sound efficiently: • Why “practice makes permanent” and how the 80% challenge point prevents habituating errors • How progressive overload explains why complex clusters outperform isolated sounds • Why auditory bombardment is passive and inefficient when therapy time is limited • How compound training (paragraphs, clusters, movement, literacy) creates system-wide linguistic change • Why specificity matters—and why speech therapy must look like real speech to generalize This episode challenges the status quo in therapy and makes the case for treating speech as the neuromuscular endurance task it actually is. If you're tired of plateaus, endless cueing, and R programs that don't generalize, this conversation will change how you think about treatment starting Monday morning.
The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
In this Q&A episode, I'm joined once again by Uncle Joe for a deep, honest conversation around one of the most painful places a man can find himself—feeling unwanted, disconnected, and hopeless in his marriage. We respond to a question from a husband who hasn't felt physical or emotional connection from his wife in over two years, and we unpack what really breaks down in marriages long before intimacy disappears. This conversation goes far beyond surface-level advice. We talk about why most men were never trained for marriage, how resentment quietly builds, why treating marriage like a contract destroys connection, and how changing your internal narrative can shift everything. We also bring in perspectives from men inside the Dad Edge Alliance to show how humility, coachability, and intentional skill-building can restore trust, safety, and leadership at home. If your marriage feels distant or stuck, this episode offers clarity, hope, and a path forward.

Marriage breaks down through narratives and resentment long before intimacy disappears. Treating marriage like a covenant—not a contract—changes everything. Emotional deposits made consistently rebuild trust and safety over time. When couples unite against the problem instead of each other, restoration becomes possible.

Key Episode TakeawaysOral Wegovy is real, but it's not “just a pill version of the shot.” Absorption rules, dosing schedules, and patient selection matter a lot more than most headlines suggest.Switching from injections to oral GLP-1s requires a plan. The transition isn't one-size-fits-all, and dose timing, GI tolerance, and expectations need to be managed carefully.Weight regain after stopping GLP-1s is common, but not universal. SURMOUNT-4 data shows large variability, reinforcing that biology, not willpower, drives outcomes.Maintenance matters as much as weight loss. Some patients need continued therapy at lower doses, while others may maintain with lifestyle plus strategic medication use.Stopping abruptly is usually the worst approach. Gradual transitions and realistic long-term strategies reduce rebound weight gain.GLP-1s are chronic disease tools, not short-term fixes. Treating obesity like hypertension or diabetes leads to better outcomes and fewer surprises. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Monisha Bhanote to explore a kind of noise we often ignore. The quiet signals our body sends long before something breaks. Headaches we normalize, fatigue we push through, gut issues we brush off and sleep we sacrifice because life feels busy. Monisha reminds us that these are not inconveniences. They are communication.Dr. Monisha Bhanote is a board certified physician, integrative lifestyle medicine expert, culinary medicine specialist, researcher and founder of the Wellkula Institute. Her work bridges science and self awareness, helping people understand how daily choices shape health at the most fundamental level, our cells. In this conversation, she invites us to treat our bodies with the same care we give our phones, charging them intentionally rather than waiting for complete shutdown.We talk about why so many people feel depleted, inflamed or not quite themselves and why the answer is rarely found in another supplement or quick fix. Instead, it lives in the intelligence of the gut, the quality of our food, our sleep, our stress and the pace at which we live. We explore why being overfed and undernourished is one of the great contradictions of modern life and how prevention begins long before symptoms arrive.This episode is also deeply personal for me. I share parts of my own journey through burnout, fatigue and a recent cancer diagnosis, and why listening earlier might have changed everything. At its heart, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, tune in nd reconnect with the wisdom your body has been trying to share with you all along.If you've been feeling tired, off or disconnected from your health, this episode will meet you right where you are.Inside this podcast:- Why symptoms are signals, not normal- How the body whispers before it needs to shout- Why cellular health is the foundation of wellbeing- The role of gut health, food, sleep and lifestyle in prevention- How listening earlier can change the course of your healthConnect with Dr. Monisha:Instagram → https://bit.ly/3L1m3ak LinkedIn → https://bit.ly/3LuKMnvWebsite → https://www.drbhanote.com/ Connect with Steve:Instagram → https://bit.ly/3KARQhR LinkedIn → https://bit.ly/48sw8Vj Episode Highlights00:00:00 - Episode Start00:02:00 - The noise inside the body we learn to ignore00:03:40 - Why the body whispers before it shouts00:05:20 - Treating your body like your phone battery00:08:30 - Overfed, undernourished, and chronically depleted00:12:00 - Why people are always tired at a cellular level00:14:30 - Blood tests, ranges, and what gets missed00:18:20 - Gut health as the foundation of disease and healing00:21:30 - How many plants are you really eating00:26:00 - Slowing down meals and the European relationship with food00:30:00 - Sleep as a non negotiable health pillar00:32:30 - Diet myths, confirmation bias and health trends00:36:00 - Protein fears and plant based nutrition00:37:20 - My personal journey through burnout and diagnosis00:41:00 - Awareness, early signals, and missed prevention00:46:00 - Screening, testing, and why people avoid them00:49:30 - Longevity versus quality of life00:53:30 - Hope, purpose, and what drives healing00:56:50 - Key messages for taking ownership of your health00:58:30 - Building a health team, not relying on one voice01:01:00 - Prevention over intervention and closing reflectionsABOUT THE PODCAST SHOWThe Noise of Life is a podcast that shares real stories, raw truths, and remarkable growth.
