New minimally invasive treatments for arthritis and chronic joint pain are giving some patients options beyond medications, injections and more invasive surgery. Vascular surgeon Dr. Daniel Nathanson explains Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE), MSK embolization and how image-guided vascular techniques are being used to target inflammation and pain. Dr. John Phillips and I welcome Dr. Daniel Nathanson of the San Francisco Vein & Vascular Institute in San Francisco, California, for a fascinating look at how tools traditionally associated with vascular intervention are expanding into the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. Dr. Nathanson is a board-certified vascular and endovascular surgeon who specializes in minimally invasive, image-guided treatments. His work includes Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) for knee osteoarthritis as well as musculoskeletal or MSK embolization for chronic pain involving areas such as the shoulder, hip and other joints. So how does embolization help arthritis pain? Rather than replacing a joint, these procedures use a tiny catheter to reach abnormal blood vessels associated with inflammation. The goal is to reduce that inflammatory blood flow and, in appropriately selected patients, reduce pain and improve function. For knee osteoarthritis, GAE is being explored as a minimally invasive option for patients who continue to have pain despite conservative treatment and are looking for alternatives to knee replacement. We also explore how this concept is moving beyond the knee. Dr. Nathanson discusses emerging applications of MSK embolization for chronic joint and tendon pain involving the shoulder, hand and wrist, hip, knee, Achilles tendon, plantar fascia and more. If you are dealing with osteoarthritis, chronic knee pain or persistent joint pain, this conversation will help you understand where these newer minimally invasive treatments may fit, who may be a candidate, and why vascular specialists are becoming part of a rapidly evolving area of arthritis care.

What if the biggest thing holding you back behind the chair isn't your talent—but the way you value your time? On this episode of The Danielle K. White Show, Danielle sits down with hairstylist and educator Ricky Hodge for a candid conversation about what it actually takes to build a successful, sustainable career in the hair industry. Ricky didn't start his career in cosmetology expecting to build what he has today. After working in retail, waiting tables, running a motel, and eventually deciding to invest in himself through cosmetology school, he built a career around developing undeniable skill, cultivating the right clientele, and refusing to let life behind the chair consume his entire life. One of Ricky's biggest beliefs? Your schedule should dictate what you charge. When you're booked months in advance, coming in early, staying late, afraid to take a vacation, and constantly squeezing another client into your schedule, the answer isn't necessarily to work harder. Sometimes it's time to raise your prices. Danielle and Ricky get into: • How to know when it's actually time to raise your prices • Why raising prices can—and sometimes should—cost you clients • Building a clientele versus intentionally cultivating one • Attracting the kind of clients you actually want to serve • Why hairstylists burn themselves out trying to make everyone happy • Creating boundaries behind the chair • Treating hairstyling like a real profession and career • Developing specialized skills that separate you from the marketplace • Ricky's passion for the dying art of scissor-over-comb cutting • Personal branding, authenticity, and standing out without getting caught in industry drama • Why new artists need real training—not years of folding towels • Setting a vision for the life you want and reverse-engineering your career to create it • What it takes to become one of the artists who actually makes it in this industry Ricky also shares how he grew from simply trying to make what he once made waiting tables to building a career where his skill, reputation, clientele, and personal brand have opened opportunities he never expected. For the hairstylist who's exhausted, undercharging, questioning the industry, or wondering whether there's actually a future behind the chair, this conversation is a reminder: There is enormous opportunity in this industry—but you have to decide what kind of career and life you're actually trying to build. Listen to the full conversation and share it with an artist who needs to hear it.

Abe and Randy discuss some of today's top stories in the National Football League.

Healthcare can't ask communities to trust systems that haven't earned their trust. In this episode, Harold Phillips, the CEO of NMAC (formerly the National Minority AIDS Council), discusses what HIV reveals about stigma, trust, racial justice, and the communities still being left behind by healthcare. Drawing on his lived experience with HIV and decades of public health leadership, Phillips explores why healthcare must treat the whole person rather than simply the diagnosis. He explains how stigma, misinformation, and mistrust can keep people from accessing care even when effective treatments and prevention tools are available. Phillips also examines the difference between outreach and genuine community partnership, emphasizing the importance of listening to communities and using their lived experiences to shape healthcare systems and policy. Tune in to hear Harold Phillips share what healthcare leaders can learn from communities that have historically been left behind, and how those lessons can help build more equitable, trustworthy systems. IHI Spotlight - Sylvia Trent-Adams: This episode's IHI Spotlight features Sylvia Trent-Adams, President and CEO at the Institute of Healthcare Improvement, who talks about the lessons HIV has taught her about dignity, trust, equity, and person-centered care. Drawing on her experience as a nurse caring for soldiers living with or affected by HIV, she emphasizes that treating a diagnosis and truly seeing a person are not the same thing. She also discusses why healthcare organizations must listen to marginalized communities and act on what they hear, making equity an essential part of quality and safety rather than a separate initiative. About Harold Phillips: Harold J. Phillips is a nationally recognized HIV policy leader and public health strategist with over 30 years of experience advancing equity, access, and innovation in the fight against HIV/AIDS. In 2025, he was appointed CEO of NMAC, where he leads eNorts to center racial justice and community leadership in the national response to HIV. Previously, Phillips served as Director of the White House Office of National AIDS Policy (2021–2024), overseeing the implementation of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and shaping federal policy to accelerate progress toward ending the epidemic. He also held senior roles at the Health Resources and Services Administration's HIV/AIDS Bureau, where he managed key programs including Ryan White, AIDS Education and Training Centers, and PEPFAR-funded initiatives. As a Black gay man living with HIV, Phillips brings lived experience and visionary leadership to his work. His career has been defined by a commitment to uplifting marginalized voices, modernizing HIV policy, and building sustainable systems of care. Things You'll Learn: HIV continues to reveal how stigma, misinformation, and mistrust can create barriers to healthcare access. Treating the whole person requires healthcare systems to address the social and personal circumstances that shape health outcomes. Lived experience should inform healthcare policy, system design, and shared decision-making. Genuine community partnership requires ongoing listening, responsiveness, and action, not one-time outreach or consultation. Healthcare organizations can build trust by listening to communities, adapting their services, and creating systems that center historically marginalized populations.

You Can't Pizza Party Your Way Out of Burnout: Moral Injury, Compassion Fatigue, and Treating Healthcare Workers - An Interview with Kimberly Johnson, PhD, LMHCD, and Lucy Li, MD Kimberly Johnson, PhD, and Lucy Li, MD, of the Emotional PPE Project on healthcare worker mental health and moral injury. Curt and Katie talk with Kimberly Johnson, PhD, LMHCD, a counselor educator at Touro University with more than thirty years of clinical experience in trauma, crisis, and disaster mental health, and Lucy Li, MD, a pediatric anesthesiologist at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Both serve on the board of the Emotional PPE Project, a volunteer-run nonprofit reducing the barriers that keep healthcare workers from accessing mental health care. Healthcare workers rarely arrive in therapy looking the way the distress would suggest. They mask, they overcompensate, and they spend session time explaining the job before they get to what the job has done to them. Kimberly describes the trifecta therapists often flatten into ordinary workplace burnout: burnout, compassion fatigue and complex trauma, and moral injury braided together, frequently presenting subclinically. Lucy describes the same terrain from inside medicine, including what shifted for her after her friend and co-resident died by suicide during residency. They also walk through the Emotional PPE Project's directory of volunteer therapists and its ePPE 101 training for mental health professionals who want to work with healthcare workers well. In this episode, we discuss: - Why healthcare workers are a heterogeneous population, not a single clinical profile - How burnout, complex trauma, and moral injury show up together and subclinically - The intake questions that surface occupational risk factors early - Why moral injury sits where occupational, vocational, and personal identity stop aligning - What stigma costs healthcare workers, their patients, and the workforce - How the Emotional PPE Project connects healthcare workers to free, confidential care - Why the same barriers show up for therapists as healthcare providers Timestamps: - 02:38 - What therapists get wrong with healthcare workers - 07:11 - Professional humility and the questions worth asking early - 09:24 - Burnout, trauma, and moral injury as a trifecta - 15:30 - Where moral injury actually lives - 17:43 - Stigma and the fear of seeking care - 22:00 - The second victim effect and being sent home - 25:10 - Beyond pizza parties: what structural support looks like - 33:27 - Inside the Emotional PPE Project and ePPE 101 Guest Bios: Kimberly Johnson, PhD, LMHCD is Director of Special Projects and Assistant Professor in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Touro University, a licensed therapist in New York, a certified Compassion Fatigue Therapist and Educator and Field Traumatologist, and a Diplomate with the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress. Lucy Li, MD is an attending anesthesiologist in Pediatric Anesthesiology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a board member of the Emotional PPE Project. She completed her anesthesiology residency at Massachusetts General Hospital, where she was chief resident, and focuses on physician mental health and wellness.

People didn't want to just know what the sofa looked like. They wanted to know how it was made, who designed it, how many hands had touched it before it reached the showroom. The descriptions of the piece were fine, but it was really the stories that sold it. That kid was Matt Ferebee. And that instinct, that the story behind the thing is more valuable than the thing itself, became the foundation of FerebeeLane. Boutique, brand, and guest experience agency that he co founded with his partner Josh Lane over two decades ago. Their first big client was Hickory Chair, a premier furniture company in North Carolina that was fighting to stay relevant in a rapidly commoditizing market. Matt and Josh launched a magazine for them called Timeless, profiling watchmakers from Cartier and interior designers to contextualize the brand among the greats. That caught the attention of BlackBerry Farm. At the time, maybe 22 keys, hard to categorize, and often dismissed as a charming bed and breakfast. Matt interviewed founder Chris Bell, and within 18 months, FerebeeLane had assumed full responsibility for their marketing. To this day, BlackBerry Farm does no paid advertising. They're celebrating their 50th anniversary, and Matt's team is still right there beside them. In this conversation, we trace the arc from furniture copywriting to shaping the narrative identity of some of the most revered hospitality brands in the world. Matt talks about what he learned watching Blackberry Farm scale without ever compromising on guest experience, why he believes the current wave of rustic minimalism is often just a cash grab dressed up in Scandinavian language, and how his team brought Canoe Place in. A site dating back to 1697, America's oldest inn, turned nightclub, turned forgotten asset, back to life with a story rooted in place. We also get into what it means for a 15-person agency to land on Marriott Luxury Portfolio's approved list alongside publicly traded global firms, what that signals about where the major flags are headed, and why Matt believes the future of branded hospitality looks a lot more like. Treating a 90-room Ritz-Carlton as an independent boutique property, not the other way around. This is a fascinating conversation. You're really gonna love Matt. He and his team have done incredible work. So, friends, without further ado, get ready to meet Matt Ferebee. —   Behind the Stays is brought to you by Journey — a first-of-its-kind loyalty program that brings together an alliance of the world's top independently owned and operated stays and allows travelers to earn points and perks on boutique hotels, vacation rentals, treehouses, ski chalets, glamping experiences and so much more.   Your host is Zach Busekrus, Head of Growth at Journey.

Interview Date: August 9th, 2026 Episode Summary:In this episode of The Business of Dance Podcast, Menina Fortunato sits down with Canadian choreographer Alex Francoeur to trace the journey that took him from a nine-year-old boy reluctantly entering his first hip-hop class in Quebec to building a full-time career across performance, choreography, television, live production, and entrepreneurship. Alex shares how early professional opportunities showed him that dance could become a real career, eventually leading him from Montreal to Toronto, New York, and Los Angeles. Along the way, he reflects on the mentors, relationships, O-1 visa journey, and willingness to take risks that shaped his path.Alex also opens up about the major turning points that redirected his career, including Révolution, receiving a Golden Buzzer on France's Got Talent, and discovering his voice as a choreographer and creative leader.

Episode 265: Ryan Fuller started questioning online reviews after two terrible stays at highly-rated vacation rentals. Both had 4.9-star ratings. After Ryan posted negative reviews, the people behind each listing independently offered him £200 to change his review to five stars.  "It was disappointing," he said, "that clearly many people took them up on this offer." On the flip side, the experience explained something that had been bothering him for a while: Places with thousands of positive reviews could still turn out to be terrible. So Ryan, founder of Larrocos Labs and a serial entrepreneur, decided to investigate.  He built an AI system that has now analyzed hundreds of thousands of reviews covering roughly 22,000 restaurants. One example of what he found: In a focused analysis of 4,000 restaurants, about 70% showed at least one unusual review pattern. Some had sudden bursts of five-star reviews. He found one case in which roughly 100 reviews had been submitted within a two-minute period. Others featured suspiciously similar language, unusual concentrations of reviews mentioning particular employees, or reviewers whose histories raised questions about their credibility. None of that proves a review is fake. As Ryan explains, the goal is not to establish absolute truth, but to determine how much confidence we should place in what we are seeing. Ryan discusses what this means for consumers, platforms, and anyone relying on AI-generated information. He also explores an alternative: systems that show their work, identify potential sources of distortion, and tell us how confident they are rather than presenting uncertain conclusions as facts. He sums it up well: "I think we're living in a world where understanding what is real or what is true is going to become one of the most difficult problems for humans to deal with."

I think we're living in a world where understanding what is real or what is true will become one of the most difficult problems for humans to deal with on even just everyday stuff like picking a restaurant." 26:00 "Platforms that start to be more transparent about sources and degree of confidence and potential risks for any information they're providing will become more popular." 28:00 "It's almost just like an arms race. There's no sudden advance in tech or approach that's gonna solve the problem. I'm just pontificating here; I don't have good answers, but I do think this is maybe the problem of our time." 33:00 "The devious thing about AI is that it sounds so credible; we're going through a transitional phase where we're not as well attuned to what the tells are when confidence isn't there." 37:00 "I always try to show the work. One thing we do is we have a letter grade that we assign each restaurant for overall quality. So, it can be an A, a B-plus, whatever. And the very first thing underneath the score, the overall letter, is why it got a B-plus."

My guests fly in from Spain and go home with one idea. You don't need the flight. I run a live workshop where I teach one idea you can put into your business over the next 30 to 90 days: ► Workshop waitlist: https://capitalism.com/bootcamp Juan Ramón and Carlos found my podcast in 2020, ran the playbook, and it still took them three full years to make their first million dollars. Then they tripled in a single year, and when I asked what changed, they told me they did less: they cut 80% of their products. They sell a $1,000 car screen out of Spain at 40% margins, they do about $500K a month, and most of this conversation is about how much they had to take away to get there.

Treating exercise as a punishment for poor eating choices actually undermines long-term motivation and healthy habits, and reframing movement as a positive, enjoyable activity is key to sustainable fitness. On this episode of “Strong Mind, Strong Body, hosted by Angie Miller and brought to you by NASM, listeners learn why traditional "burn off your cheat meal" or "earn your food" mindsets fail to support consistent wellness. Angie unpacks her three decades of experience leading movement classes to explain how punishment-based language not only damages individuals' relationships with fitness but also compounds guilt and inconsistency. The monologue presentation examines scientific research on motivation, highlighting why intrinsic motivations like enjoyment, connection, and competence are far more effective for lasting change than appearance- or debt-based goals. Listeners will discover practical strategies to shift their fitness self-talk, recognize damaging language, and cultivate a more empowering fitness journey. Whether you are a fitness professional, athlete, or someone struggling with workout motivation, you will leave with clear, evidence-based approaches for building a healthier relationship with movement and supporting your clients or yourself more effectively. Chapters: 00:00 Why does punishing yourself with exercise not work for long-term motivation? 01:57 How does punishment-based language shape our view of exercise? 05:17 What does research say about appearance-based fitness motivation? 10:53 Why do people feel bad about missing workouts or unhealthy eating? 12:28 How does intrinsic motivation actually support exercise consistency? 15:08 What happens when appearance is the main motivator for working out? 16:18 How does the debt mindset keep people stuck in a workout cycle? 20:25 What really motivates lasting fitness behavior change? 22:01 Why does punishment undermine autonomy, competence, and connection? 23:38 What are examples of effective intrinsic motivators in fitness? 24:58 How can you reframe negative exercise self-talk into something positive? 27:21 How does language change your workout mindset and results? 29:08 What deeper goals are people really chasing when they want to lose weight? 30:25 Can appearance still be a valid goal, and when does it become a problem? 30:48 What single habit can you try this week to switch from punishment to progress?  If you like what you just consumed, leave us a 5-star review, and share this episode with a friend to help grow our NASM health and wellness community!  The content shared in this podcast is solely for educational and entertainment purposes.

Rushion McDonald uses Kurt’s career as a blueprint for: Building mailbox money through residuals Staying relevant across decades of industry change Monetizing intellectual property Leveraging relationships to sustain opportunity Core Themes Discussed Longevity vs. “getting on” Behind-the-scenes success Residual income (“mailbox money”) Adaptability in changing industries Creative originality Relationship capital Diversifying income through ownership Treating art like a business Key Takeaways 1. Staying In Is Harder Than Getting In While many focus on breaking into the industry, Kurt emphasizes that lasting success requires constant reinvention. “The continuing it for the 30-plus years has been way harder than the getting in in the first.” Insight: Longevity requires discipline, humility, and evolution. 2. Behind-the-Scenes Roles Can Be More Sustainable Kurt chose composing over performing, allowing him to age into his career rather than age out of it. “In television and film… all I’ve got to say is John Williams is in his 90s and still composing.” Insight: Choose lanes that allow long-term relevance and recurring income. 3.

Adaptability Is Non‑Negotiable Kurt has survived massive industry shifts—from analog tape to digital production—by embracing change. “Sustain that good idea, change it, polish it up, and mold it for the changing times.” Insight: Talent without adaptability becomes obsolete. 5. Originality Comes From Listening, Not Forcing a Style Kurt avoids creative stagnation by serving the story, not his ego. “I don’t come in every day trying to force the singular style I’ve done for 38 years.” Insight: Longevity depends on collaboration and humility. 6. Relationships Are Career Currency Kurt credits long-term success to consistently showing up for people—before they’re powerful. “If you only call someone once you read they’ve got something coming up, it’s already too late.” Insight: Relationships built without agenda produce lasting opportunity. 7. Saying “Yes” Creates Opportunity Kurt embraces what he calls the power of yes. “I figure I can say yes more than you and end up making more and doing better.” Insight: Opportunity favors those who remain open, prepared, and professional. 8. Ownership Multiplies Creativity Into Business Kurt built True Music Pro, a licensing library used across major networks and streaming platforms. “I realized companies were licensing more of my music than I was… so I built my own library.” Insight: Ownership turns talent into scalable income. Notable Quotes “The journey to stay in is harder than the journey to get in.” “Treat it like a business and it might treat you in kind.” “I do my job, I do it the best I can, and I move on to the next one.” “Character is character.

In this episode of Michael Easley inContext, Michael Easley talks with Robin John, author of The Good Investor: How Your Work Can Confront Injustice, Love Your Neighbor, and Bring Healing to the World.

Treating your team like family feels warm and caring, but it might be working against your leadership and having a negative impact on the business.A family relationship and a business relationship serve two very different purposes, and in a business, when the boundaries are blurred, accountability gets harder, standards slip, and you start making exceptions you'd never normally allow. In today's episode, I walk through five practical shifts that replace the family myth with something stronger, a team built on genuine care and clear standards. You'll come away with a better way to handle the conversations you've been avoiding, and a level of clarity that serves everyone in the business.IN THIS EPISODE:Why family belonging is unconditional, while team membership comes with real expectationsHow holding people accountable is one of the most caring things you can doThe difference between supporting your team and carrying every problem in their livesWhy blurred boundaries between friend and employer make hard conversations even harderA better metaphor than family for building loyalty, trust and belongingEPISODE TIMESTAMPS[00:00] Introduction[01:15] Why calling your team family can create serious problems[02:31] Families and businesses exist for completely different reasons[02:42] Word from our sponsor: Zenoti[04:46] The unconditional nature of family versus the realities of a team[06:34] Why caring about people does not mean avoiding accountability[07:57] The hidden cost of protecting one person from feedback[08:53] You are not responsible for fixing everyone's problems[10:03] How the family mindset creates a one-sided psychological contract[11:26] Why blurred boundaries make leadership so much harder[17:33] Recap: five things to remember about your team[18:58] Where to find the free salon management checklistWant MORE to help you GROW?➡️ Zenoti – all-in-one salon management platform with AI-powered client communications and automation.

A celebrity welcomes her first baby at 50, another at 54, and the message is loud and clear: it's never too late, you can have it all. But the headlines rarely mention the IVF, donor eggs, and surrogacy behind those stories. Today I want to talk about God's design for family and why postponing it "until the timing is right" is one of the oldest lies our culture tells young people. Children aren't accessories you add after the career and the bucket list. They're image bearers of God, and His timing has always been wiser than ours.

The real estate market isn't broken. Agents have simply forgotten what normal looks like. Pricing matters again. Negotiation matters again. Seller communication matters again. And agents who know how to actually manage a transaction have a major advantage. In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris break down five realities buyers, sellers, and real estate agents need to understand about today's market. Sellers receiving offers are averaging around two rather than the bidding-war numbers many became accustomed to, buyers are keeping inspection contingencies more often, and the majority of contracts discussed are still making it to closing. You'll learn why overpricing a listing can destroy its strongest marketing window, how to handle sellers who insist on testing a higher price, why agents should counter low offers instead of killing deals emotionally, how renewed buyer leverage changes inspection and concession negotiations, and why proactive seller communication matters even more when days on market increase. You'll also hear why this should be viewed as a skills market rather than a distressed market. When homes no longer sell automatically, professional pricing, lead generation, negotiation, communication, and transaction management become more valuable. For serious agents, that creates opportunity.

What if your teen's extreme behavior isn't proof that you're failing as a mom—but a sign that you simply need different tools? When your teen is disrespectful, defiant, anxious, aggressive, using substances, or struggling emotionally, it's easy to wonder, Where did I go wrong? In this episode of Power Your Parenting: Moms of Teens, I talk with Dr. Scott Sells, family therapist and author of the newly revised Parenting Your Out-of-Control Teenager: Eight Strategies to Reestablish Authority and Reclaim Love. Dr. Sells reminds parents that extreme behavior often isn't a “bad parenting” problem—it's a tools problem. Drawing from decades of working with families as well as his own experience parenting twin teenage sons, he explains why parents need a balance of love and limits—or connection with correction. Dr. Sells explains why gentle parenting alone may fall short with teens who have extreme behavioral or emotional challenges. Teens need connection, but they also need clear guardrails. As he puts it, “rules without relationships lead to rebellion.” You'll hear practical strategies for rebuilding connection, including catching your teen doing something right, creating intentional special outings, and staying committed to the relationship even when your teen initially pushes you away. We also explore the complicated question many moms face: Is this anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, a mental health issue—or simply oppositional behavior? Dr. Sells discusses looking at both skill and will, reducing over-accommodation of anxiety, and examining how smartphones, instant gratification, nutrition, and family patterns may contribute to emotional struggles. Most importantly, this conversation offers hope. You don't have to parent perfectly, and trying harder with the same strategies isn't always the answer. Sometimes you need a new tool—one that helps you lower the drama, restore your authority, and rebuild the loving connection underneath all the conflict. Scott Sells, PhD, is the founder and developer of the evidence-based treatment models Parenting with Love and Limits and Family Systems Trauma, used by therapists across the United States and Europe. He earned his PhD and MSW from Florida State University and has served as a professor of social work at Savannah State University and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He has delivered keynotes for major mental health organizations and authored more than 20 professional publications. Dr. Sells is the author of three books, including the newly revised Parenting Your Out-of-Control Teenager: Eight Strategies to Reestablish Authority and Reclaim Love, Treating the Traumatized Child, and Treating the Tough Adolescent. 3 Key Takeaways 1. It may not be a parenting problem—it may be a tools problem. When the strategies you've always used stop working, trying harder isn't necessarily the solution. You may need a different, more specialized tool. 2. Teens need both love AND limits. Connection without boundaries can leave teens without needed guardrails, while rules without a relationship can fuel rebellion. The goal is balanced parenting: connection with correction. 3. Look beneath the behavior. Disrespect, defiance, anxiety, or withdrawal may be the surface problem. Getting curious about what is driving the behavior—and then choosing the right tool—can help parents move from constant firefighting toward real change.

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com The Price of Becoming is a USA Today, LA Times, and Publishers Weekly Bestseller! www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming My guest - Mark Pincus is the founder of Zynga, the social gaming company he built from zero to $12.7 billion, pioneering a category that generated over a billion app installs and introduced hundreds of millions of people to online play. He's a serial founder who has started ten companies, taught product development at Stanford, and made early seed investments in Facebook and Twitter. His new book is Life at the Speed of Play. Key Learnings Coaches are cheat codes. Mark has hired a surfing coach, a tennis coach, a chess coach, a life coach, and the legendary Bill Campbell. None of them were assigned to him. He went and found them. "You throw to where you swing. You don't swing to where you throw." His tennis coach, Jorge, on learning how to serve. Commit to the natural swing first. You'll miss. You'll look stupid. Eventually your brain realizes you're serious and puts the ball where it belongs. You play to get better. You don't play to win. Not this point. Not this match. What am I doing right now that makes me better in the next game? Kill the ego so it gets out of the way of you being humble and curious. Don't contort the organization around one talented jerk. Colleen McCreary, Zynga's chief people officer, kept a sign on her wall: "No jerks allowed." She once vetoed an acquisition because she believed the founder was toxic. When the organization sees you refuse to bend just to win one point, they build muscle and confidence too. You'll have periods out of alignment. That's okay. Sometimes the person is in a crucial seat and you can't swap them tomorrow. What matters is that you're aligned with the philosophy. Bill Campbell's two lessons: intellectual honesty and courage. Be committed to the deep truths above everything else, and say them to your team even when it hurts. Then have the courage to stand up to your own team, your own board, and your own investors. A well-run company is a democratic dictatorship. Campbell leaned heavily on the dictatorship half. Unapologetically. The flip side of ambition is sacrifice. Everyone says they're a ten out of ten on ambition.  Mark's test: would you toil in obscurity for the next ten years, nobody respecting what you're doing, for an 80 or 90 percent chance at something bigger than your wildest dreams? Or take the 80 percent chance at a respectable single and a pat on the back? Nobody believes in us as much as we do. That's why we become founders. At 41, VCs who had already backed Mark twice told him he was too old, too rich, and too settled to go all in on Zynga. Mark isn't all in until he is. He calls it a lazy on-ramp to curiosity. Lots of projects. Looking for signals in a lot of places. Processing. Then it flips. "When the fish are running, we're up all night throwing nets until they're done running, not until we're tired." The chess lesson: play boring. His chess coach told him if you want to beat a player rated much higher than you, play boring and conservative and let them make the mistake. He started doing it. He started winning. Your kids don't follow what you say. They follow what you do. Mark set out to be a different kind of dad than his own, who measured people by their résumé. Then he watched his 15-year-old daughter spend every waking minute with math tutors before leaving on a service trip. "How did we get here? Oh, I know how we got here. They're not listening to what Dad says. They're following what Dad does." Happiness comes from feeling useful to a community you care about. Not from being useful. From feeling it. That's Alfred Adler, by way of The Courage to Be Disliked. There are two levels of success. A life well lived is a life in alignment with what only you can bring to the world. You don't have to build Google to feel like you went for it. The ultimate success is the greatest instantiation of your talents. Use money as freedom, not lifestyle. When Freeloader sold and 28-year-old Mark had more money than he'd ever imagined, he made a list of everything he was going to buy. It totaled about $9,000. He put leather interior in his Pathfinder. He still has the vehicle.  He set a $500 million goal that had nothing to do with buying things. At a net worth around $15 million, working with a life coach, he wrote it down because that's the capital required to run a studio of teams chasing many ideas without going to anyone else with hat in hand. "Creatively, that's freedom." Retirement is spiritual death. The stretches between building things are what Mark calls the abyss. Once you've felt the high of building with a great team and shipping something into users' hands every week, it ruins you. You can't be happy with less. Over-fund the things that matter. Not every day is the same. Not every life moment is the same. When one of those moments comes, put all your best players on the ice. The Allen & Company investor tour. They told Mark it was a dog and pony show. Just shake some hands. He told his team: this is our IPO, this is our roadshow, and we are going to use every minute of it the way we want. He gave the biggest public market investors a full presentation, handed them his numbers, and told them to judge him against those numbers in a year. He met with them a year later and had crushed them. King for a day. Carol Bartz brought Mark in to talk to Yahoo's entire senior management. He spent two weeks building a presentation on how he'd run Yahoo if he were king for a day, stood up, and took over the room for an hour. They got a deal done and one person in that room came to work for him. He ran the same play on the CEO of AMEX with a credit card that competed on fun. Amex spent $75 million with them. Seven minutes with Obama became 45. Mark was told the President would ask about his kids and then the meeting would be over. He walked in with a PowerPoint on the ten bold objectives he'd run on if he were president. Obama went through the entire thing and then asked what else he had. Prepare as hard for everything going right as you do for everything going wrong. Mark had under-prepared for the version of where Obama said, "Yeah, I'm buying. What else you got?" We sleepwalk through our own biggest moments. The question isn't what's the agenda or why they want to meet with you. It's: I have five minutes with the king. What is theoretically possible here? The Book of Life. Every year during the Jewish New Year, Mark writes in the same book. Only during that window. It isn't a journal. It's a spiritual board meeting with himself. He reads back through every previous year first, then writes. Partner with your future self. "What will Mark 2030 thank me for doing right now?" It started with quitting smoking. October 19, 1994. "I pulled my own power back. If I can quit smoking and really commit to it, what else can I do?" A year later he quit his job and did something bigger. Even if you missed the big goal, ask what you actually did toward it. Did you talk about it? Did you do real things? Did you turn the boat toward it? If not, maybe you don't believe in the goal. When Mark is at his lowest, he's humbled, he picks achievable goals, and he finds the most grit. When he's winning, he picks stratospheric goals and does the worst. After his biggest successes, he isn't humble enough to succeed again, and he has to go through failure to reel himself back in. Mark's champagne moment a year from now: that the book connects for hundreds of thousands of people, and that he's built a product people find real meaning in. Reflection Questions If you went and hired a coach, who is the person who could most change your life right now?  What is your next high-stakes moment, and are you treating it like the dog and pony show or like your IPO? What is the one habit your future self would most thank you for making this year? What would it unlock if you actually committed to it?

Divorce Keeping You Up at Night? How to Stop the 2 A.M. SpiralDIVORCE CRASH COURSE: Divorce is expensive. Making avoidable mistakes makes it even more expensive. Our Divorce Crash Course gives you the information we wish every person had before and during divorce—from choosing an attorney and understanding your finances to custody, parenting agreements and the mistakes that can cost you thousands.Typically priced at $150, available now for $50, thanks to our angel underwriters, OurFamilyWizard and Soberlink.[GET THE DIVORCE CRASH COURSE HERE]NEW: GUIDED DIVORCE MEDITATIONS: When your brain won't shut up about your divorce, we made something specifically for that. Our Guided Divorce Meditations are short, on-demand meditations for the moments divorce hits hardest—including when you can't sleep, you're worried about money or your kids, you're spiraling about your marriage, or you're struggling with a custody transition.[GET THE GUIDED DIVORCE MEDITATIONS HERE]If divorce is keeping you awake at night, you're definitely not alone.You go to bed exhausted, but the second everything gets quiet, your brain decides it's time to solve your entire divorce.What if my ex is hiding money? What if something happens with the kids? What does that email from my attorney mean? What if this goes to trial? Did I remember to send that document? Should I respond to that text? What if I can't afford this?Suddenly it's 2:34 a.m., you're wide awake, and you're trying to solve problems that probably cannot be solved from your bed.In this episode of How Not to Suck at Divorce, Andrea Rappaport and family law attorney Morgan Stogsdill are talking about divorce anxiety, insomnia and what to do when you can't stop thinking about your divorce at night.And we're giving you an actual strategy.Morgan explains how to separate the things that genuinely require action from the things that feel urgent because your anxious brain is filling in the blanks. Andrea shares why losing sleep during divorce can make an already difficult situation worse—and potentially affect the decisions you're making the next day.The goal isn't to pretend everything is fine.It's learning to recognize what needs your action—and what needs your inaction.In This Episode You'll LearnWhy divorce anxiety can feel so much worse at nightWhat to do when you wake up worrying about your divorceThe pen-and-paper strategy Morgan recommends for getting worries out of your headHow to determine whether something actually requires actionWhy you should think twice before emailing your divorce attorney late at nightHow to create a running list of questions for your attorneyWhy you should draft—but NOT send—emotional late-night emailsHow late-night texts and emails from your ex can destroy your sleepWhy setting communication boundaries with your co-parent mattersHow to use OurFamilyWizard notification settings more strategicallyWhy sometimes doing absolutely nothing is the smartest action you can takeWhat to tell yourself when your brain refuses to shut downWhy resting can be enough when you can't force yourself to fall asleepHow changing your environment may help break the cycle when you're lying awake spiralingThe 2 A.M. Divorce Brain DumpIf you wake up in the middle of the night and your brain is racing, Morgan recommends keeping a pen and paper next to your bed.Write down everything that's occupying your brain—not just the divorce stuff.Then go through the list and ask yourself:Can I actually take action on this tonight?Or:Do I have any control over the outcome of this tonight?If the answer is no, cross it out for tonight.If the answer is yes, decide whether it truly requires action immediately or whether you can make a plan to handle it tomorrow.Most things can wait until morning.And if it's something you want to discuss with your divorce attorney, write it down or put the email in your drafts. Do not hit send at 2 a.m.Your rested morning brain may have a very different—and considerably shorter—email to send.Stop Letting Your Ex Into Your BedroomNot literally. We have an entirely different podcast episode for that problem.We're talking about your phone.If your ex tends to send inflammatory texts, emails or co-parenting messages late at night, you do not have to allow those notifications to dictate when your nervous system goes into overdrive.Morgan recommends setting boundaries around when you receive and read messages. Andrea also points out that if you're using OurFamilyWizard, you can choose when you receive your daily notifications.Your ex's 10:30 p.m. message does not automatically become your 10:31 p.m. emergency.And it goes both ways.Don't send your ex angry late-night messages either. Aside from destroying everyone's sleep, creating a documented pattern of bad communication is probably not something you want your attorneys—or potentially a judge—reading later.What Needs Action—and What Needs Inaction?We often divide our problems into two categories:Things I can control.Things I can't control.Andrea offers a different way to think about it during divorce:What needs my action?And:What needs my inaction?Sometimes inaction is an active decision.You can recognize that something is scary, painful or uncertain without trying to solve it tonight.You aren't pretending the problem doesn't exist.You're deciding:Not now.Tomorrow, you can reopen the box.Tonight, your job is to rest.When Your Brain Still Won't Shut UpSometimes you've written everything down. You've made tomorrow's list. You've silenced your notifications. You've decided what can wait.And your brain is still going.That's exactly why we created our Guided Divorce Meditations.Earlier this week, we released one of the meditations completely free on the podcast: For When You Can't Sleep.It's about 10 minutes long, and Andrea walks you through putting those thoughts and fears somewhere safe for the night—not throwing them away, not pretending they don't matter, but giving yourself permission to stop carrying them until morning.The complete Guided Divorce Meditation library is $20 and includes meditations created specifically for different moments of divorce when you need help quieting the noise.[GET THE GUIDED DIVORCE MEDITATIONS HERE]Resources MentionedDivorce Crash CourseGuided Divorce MeditationsOurFamilyWizardSoberlinkSubscribe, Rate & ReviewIf How Not to Suck at Divorce is helping you get through your divorce a little smarter, calmer and more prepared, please subscribe and leave us a review.

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux takes on the claim that there is no such thing as truth and shows how that idea falls apart under its own weight. He answers listener questions on natural selection, envy of talent, marriage as a bond for children, human nature outside of force, just war and free speech under surveillance.Questions:Why do humans hate Natural Selection?It is clearly the most obvious structure of the designer...Treating the institution of marriage as a sort of clown car with way too many, no longer strictly related to the idea, underlying concepts crammed in, how would you strip it down to its bare minimum?Listened to your Sunday morning chat. You stated most people are not virtuous, vapid and essentially non thinking individualistically.
