Street and portrait photographer Tom Hoops joins us to talk about his unplanned path into photography, why he builds his portrait style around rawness instead of polish, and why he founded The Underexposed Community. In this episode: Tom's origin story: picking up a camera to shoot reference photos for paintings — and never going back to painting The early Flickr community (including photographers like Jack Davidson and Brett Walker) that shaped his eye Why he tells photographers starting out to avoid Instagram, other photographers' work, and how-to books until they've built their own body of work His case against the "corporate headshot" look and what he's chasing instead Shooting underexposed on purpose, working on location, and why he sets his lights once and then forgets about them What actually separates working photographers from hobbyists (hint: it's not the gear) The industry problem of shrinking access time on assignments — and what publishers get wrong Why he started The Underexposed Community and what it offers photographers looking for real peer connection Timestamps: 3:33 — Introduction and dice-breaker question 4:41 — Tom's background and path into photography 9:09 — The moment he knew photography was his profession 10:54 — Looking back at early work, and the fashion photography learning curve 16:52 — Why he tells new photographers to avoid studying other photographers early on 23:22 — Why lighting setups matter less than people think 25:05 — Rejecting the corporate headshot look; shooting subjects "powerful" instead of polished 30:55 — Where the "raw" feel actually comes from: direction, location, editing 39:01 — Advice on turning photography into a full-time living 44:15 — Founding The Underexposed Community 56:55 — Tom's advice to photographers just starting out (or to his younger self) Episode Promos Nerdy Photographer Contract Templates - https://nerdyphotographer.com/product-category/contracts/ On1 Software - https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/on1/ Format, websites for creatives - https://format.partnerlinks.io/nerdy Retouch4Me - https://retouch4.me/ - remember to use promo code "nerdy" to get 20% off About My Guest Tom Hoops is a portrait and fashion photographer known for his distinctive, emotive style and ability to capture raw human character.

Turn Off Spinning Thoughts and Sleep Your head hits the pillow, and suddenly your brain won't stop. You replay today's conversations, rehearse tomorrow's, and review your growing to-do list in real time. In this episode of Healthy Looks Great on You, Dr. Vickie tackles racing thoughts at bedtime and gives you real tools to quiet them. She explains why your brain starts treating the bed like a stage for rehashing the day, why "just don't think about it" never works, and shares two practical strategies for clearing mental clutter before it hits your pillow. Then she introduces a technique developed by Canadian researcher Dr. Luc Beaudoin, called cognitive shuffling, that tricks your brain into the same fragmented, random thinking that naturally happens right before sleep. Because sometimes the fix for racing thoughts isn't trying harder to stop them, it's giving your brain something else to do. Because healthy looks great on you.

Four Things You Do That INSTANTLY Turn Off People Immediately
Segment 1: Pain Reprocessing Therapy: How The Brain Can Turn Off Chronic Pain Signals What if your chronic pain is all in your head? No, you're not making it up, but your brain has gotten stuck in a pain signal loop that keeps you hurting when there's no physical injury to blame. It's called neuroplastic pain and our experts this week explain how you can stop the loop and finally find relief from your chronic pain. Guest: Carolyn Evans, LISW-CP, chronic pain therapist Dr. Howard Schubiner, clinical professor, Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, author, Unlearn Your Pain Protecting Your Framework: How Bone Health Defines Long-Term Mobility While many people focus on weight or blood pressure, bone health remains one of the most foundational – yet overlooked – components of our overall mobility and wellness. True skeletal strength depends on complex bone density, quality, and the continuous cellular turnover cycle.

The global financial elites are quietly laying the groundwork for the most dangerous power grab in modern history, and they're selling it to the public as pure, harmless convenience. In this explosive episode of On The Record, Christian Briggs pulls back the curtain on a damning working paper from the European Central Bank, exposing the sinister architecture lurking behind Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). While mainstream media outlets parrot the talking point that a digital dollar is simply the "natural evolution of cash," the technical truth hidden in the fine print tells an entirely different story. A physical green bill is private property you hold in your hands with zero tracking, zero Wi-Fi required, and zero government off-switches. A CBDC is programmable computer software—and whoever controls the server controls your ability to buy, sell, and survive.Briggs dismantles the deceptive promises used by central planners to pacify the public. Globalist technocrats swear this new digital currency will be safe, non-interest-bearing, and strictly capped. But look at what those safeguards actually require under the hood: to enforce an individual holding cap, an unelected bureaucrat must maintain a 24/7 surveillance feed of your net worth across the entire financial system. Through an automated mechanism known as the "reverse waterfall," the central bank's master computer is hardwired directly into your private family checking account, pulling funds and sweeping balances at will.Worse yet, the paper admits that while central banks may launch without fees, they legally reserve the power to impose negative interest rates down the road. If you refuse to spend your money on government-approved goods during a manufactured economic crisis, they can program your wallet to decay automatically. Combine that with mandatory digital ID access checks and the weaponization of political de-banking, and the trap is set.This isn't about GDP growth or faster transactions—it's about total administrative control over the monetary lifeblood of three hundred and thirty million Americans. The time to draw an unyielding line in the sand is right now. We must pass federal protections to keep physical cash alive, outlaw a retail CBDC permanently, and bind down the administrative state before the cage door locks forever.

If you had the choice, would you go back to the way social media was 10 years ago? Just posts from your friends, family and creators you follow, in order of when they were uploaded? Well if the Government gets its way, that very well could soon be an option. It’s a new proposal called the digital duty of care. Under it, online platforms will be required to protect kids from harmful content, create safer digital spaces, and give social media users the ability to opt out of the algorithm altogether.

https://youtu.be/NRFfI32X2q0?si=z8U0gQp64SvlXiqX Follow along with us! If faith is TRUE… it should survive investigation. Next few weeks – questions Christians sometimes get nervous about. Real. Reasonable. Can stand under pressure. Series Outline September 13: CAN I TRUST THE BIBLE? September 20: DID JESUS REALLY RISE FROM THE DEAD? September 27: CAN I STILL TRUST JESUS AFTER CHURCH HURT? 3 asks:1. COME WITH QUESTIONS.2. BRING A FRIEND WITH QUESTIONS.3. GRAB 30 HONEST QUESTIONS. 30 real questions… short/simple answers… God, science, Bible, suffering, doubt, church hurt… Grab one for yourself. Share one with your friends. I DO NOT WANT A BORROWED FAITH Pastor… Bible… church most of my life… eventually I have to ask: Do I believe because I was TOLD?Or because I believe it is TRUE? Borrowed faith… from parents… pastors… denomination… culture… Works UNTIL life hits: death… unanswered prayer… hard question… church hurt… NOT WANT A BORROWED FAITH.I want to discover a Valid Faith. What about you? Can you relate? THE QUESTIONS ARE REAL 29% of U.S. adults are now religiously unaffiliated — identifying as atheist, agnostic, or “nothing in particular.”(Pew) 60% of unaffiliated say questioning religious teachings is an extremely or very important reason they are nonreligious. (PEW) 42% of American adults say they have deconstructed the faith of their youth. Among Christians, 37% say they have deconstructed the faith they grew up with. (Barna) DECONSTRUCTION: Taking apart the faith you inherited and reexamining what you believe. Good and Bad to this…-sometimes good, true beliefs get discarded along with the things that genuinely needed to be questioned.We are dealing with… ANCIENT FAITH IN A MODERN WORLD. People wrestle -science/evolution/evidence… Genesis… miracles… morality… ancient Bible… That is why I am calling this message: Valid Faith Week 1: Must I Turn My Brain Off to Be a Christian? Your questions are real. They deserve DEEPER THOUGHT – not less. There is a tension between Reason & FaithCompartmentalize – Brain vs Heart.Think vs FeelWhat if God's Word shows us a better way? 1 Peter 3:15 NIV Peter assumes: HOPE… and a REASON for that hope. Think about your Faith!REASON IS NOT THE ENEMY OF FAITH. Connect to the reason you have hope.Hebrews 11:1 NIV HOPE = WHAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO. FAITH = TRUSTING GOD WITH THAT HOPE. Faith = TRUST. So… WHO ARE YOU TRUSTING – AND CAN HE BE TRUSTED? STRIP IT ALL AWAY Christianity makes MANY claims. Not all equally central. Christians disagree:Genesis/age earth…baptism…free will…spiritual gifts…end times… SECONDARY ISSUES… Important? In varying degrees, YES.The reason for my hope? NO.STRIP THEM AWAY FOR NOW Strip away denomination… political tribe… worship style… theological labels… WHAT IS LEFT?Better question… Who is left? JESUS. Who are you trusting and can He be trusted.Christian faith = trusting HIM. IS JESUS TRUSTWORTHY? This leads us to God's Word..Then let us reason through God's Word… not panic at questions. REASONING EXERCISE #1 – WHY SOMETHING RATHER THAN NOTHING? Old question. Answer?God created or Big Bang?How did the universe come to be? Hebrews 11:3 NIV Visible world made from what cannot be seen.Visible made from invisible. Faith teaches this… Science teaches this… Modern science: atoms/subatomic realities… invisible building blocks under visible matter. SCRIPTURE REVEALED A TRUTH SCIENCE LATER STUMBLED UPON about 1800 years later. Faith explains how there is a universe.Science explains how there is a universe. But WHY is there a universe? Why matter? energy? laws? universe?WHY PEOPLE? HEARTS? SOULS? DREAMS? Science can describe HOW. (mechanism)Science can't describe WHY. (purpose) Faith explains HOW & WHY.Mechanism & purpose. REASONING EXERCISE #2 – WHAT MAKES EVIL, EVIL? Child abuse… trafficking… torture… not just “I dislike it.” ACTUALLY WRONG – EVIL.WHY? If we are only matter, chemistry, cells, impulses, and survival instincts… what makes one set of impulses good and another set evil? Science can describe what happens in the brain.Science can describe behavior.Science can describe what helps a species survive.But science by itself does not tell you: CHILD ABUSE IS EVIL. WHY? FAITH SAYS MORAL TRUTH IS REAL BECAUSE IT IS GROUNDED IN A MORAL GOD. More questions like this?Short. Simple. Start investigating. I saw this pop up on facebook… Jackman: If you put Buddha, Jesus Christ, Socrates, Shakespeare, Arjuna, Krishna at a dinner table together, I can't see them having an argument. Nice thought… all welcome… acceptance…but THINK DEEPER. JESUS DID NOT COME JUST TO TAKE A SEAT AT THE TABLE. Everyone at table died. Jesus died too… JESUS DIED FOR EVERYBODY AT THE TABLE. And Christianity says HE ROSE. Jesus is different. NOT JUST A TEACHER. CAN JESUS BE TRUSTED? One follower had to decide that for himself… Thomas Followed Jesus… HOPE.Jesus dies… DISAPPOINTED / hope crushed. Friends: “We saw Him.”Trouble TRUSTING them. “Unless I see…” Thomas investigates. Jesus meets him in it. Jesus shows up… stretches out hands… invites him to investigate. John 20:28 NIV Notice what Jesus does not do…-No lecture.-No guilt trip.-No turning away. Imagine – Jesus standing their… open arms.What do you even do with all of this? PRACTICE 3 STEPS: REASON → TRUST → HOPE 1. COME WITH YOUR QUESTIONS Do not bury them. NAME them. Ask them. 2. INVESTIGATE – DO NOT ASSUME Science disproved faith? Bible changed? Genesis impossible? All religions same? → LOOK CLOSER. 3. KEEP COMING BACK TO JESUS Not every question carries equal weight. Who is Jesus? What did He claim? Is He trustworthy? We want to help you take these steps. What if we stripped everything in religion away until we were just left with Jesus? “Is that all you need?” “YES.” Strip away denomination… politics… labels… possessions… ability to answer everything… WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE HOPE YOU HAVE? IS IT JESUS? Other questions matter. But underneath it all… JESUS IS THE CENTER. IF THIS IS TRUE… Jesus cannot be one more thing in the cart. JESUS IS NOT SOMETHING I ADD TO MY LIFE. HE BECOMES THE CENTER. He is the center… I follow.…shame loses grip.…I serve others… forgive others. VALID FAITH SHOULD CHANGE THE WAY I LIVE. IS JESUS WORTH TRUSTING?1. If so… PRAY “God, I do not have all the answers, but I believe You are worth the search.” 2. IF so… START A CONVERSATION Connection Card / text me / 30 Honest Questions. Let us reason together. 3. If so… TAKE ONE STEP TOWARD JESUS Investigate 30 honest questions.Come back. Bring a friend. Trust Jesus. Return to Jesus.
Why Feeling Pressured for Sex Is a Turn-Off for WivesWhat if the very thing you're doing to get more sex is actually the thing making your spouse want less sex?This week on the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, Nick and Amy tackle a topic that can create a lot of frustration in marriage: why feeling pressured for sex can be such a major turn-off for wives.There's a big difference between feeling wanted and feeling expected. For many women, sexual desire is responsive which means it often grows out of emotional connection, affection, relaxation, safety, attraction and feeling close to their husband. You can't pressure someone into feeling desire.But pressure can create a painful cycle:He feels rejected → pursues harder → she feels pressured → she withdraws → he feels even more rejected → he pursues even harder.Both spouses end up hurting, and neither may realize they're stuck in a cycle.Nick and Amy discuss five ways husbands can unintentionally create pressure, including when every touch becomes sexual, reacting negatively to rejection, keeping score, constantly testing the waters, and making affection feel transactional.But this isn't a “blame the husband” episode.Husbands aren't wrong for wanting sex, wanting to feel desired, or initiating. Wives have responsibility too. Wives need to communicate what helps them feel connected and sexually open, recognize that physical intimacy can be an important way their husband experiences love and reassurance, and take ownership of their own sensuality and sexual relationship.The answer isn't for husbands to stop pursuing their wives.It's learning how to pursue without creating pressure.Give affection without strings attached. Respond well to “no.” Build connection throughout the day. Help carry the mental load because you're her partner—not as a transaction for sex. Create opportunities for intimacy without demanding a specific outcome.Ultimately, pressure doesn't create desire. Safety, connection, attraction, playfulness and invitation create an environment where desire can grow.And both spouses have an important role to play:Wives shouldn't expect husbands to stop wanting sex. Husbands shouldn't expect wives to want sex on command.The goal isn't for one spouse to win.The goal is to create a marriage where both spouses genuinely want to pursue each other.Tune in as Nick and Amy unpack this complicated dynamic, talk about what husbands and wives can each do differently, and explore how couples can break the pressure/rejection cycle and build a more mutually passionate marriage.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a pattern that follows first responders through the front door every single day — the inability to power down the version of themselves the job requires and step into the softer, more vulnerable version of themselves that home and family actually need. It is not that first responders do not want to be present, gentle, or emotionally available at home. It is that professional mode does not come with an off switch. And over time the armor that the job built becomes so familiar that softness — real softness — starts to feel less like relief and more like exposure.
You don't have to keep repeating yesterday.You don't have to stay stuck in habits that quietly shrink your life.You can choose something better.Right here.Right now.Turn off the autopilot.(music with permission from Simon Folwar: " Starting from Now."

The episode reveals a structural shift where “AI powered” has moved from a selling point to a source of liability and customer distrust. Surveys from WordPress VIP, the Pew Research Center, and Carnegie Mellon University indicate that both consumers and professionals increasingly see visible AI in products and services as a negative attribute, eroding trust rather than adding perceived value. This trend impacts MSPs directly, as their role in advising clients on technology adoption now brings increased accountability for customer experience outcomes tied to AI-driven automation. According to a WordPress VIP survey, 60% of US consumers are deterred by the term “AI” in brand marketing, and 86% do not fully trust AI-delivered information, preferring original sources. The Pew Research Center found that, while 49% of US adults now use AI chatbots, 40% believe AI will worsen society and 67% distrust regulatory oversight. A Carnegie Mellon study of working visual artists reported 99% disapproving of generative AI and 85% refusing to use it. These quantified findings underscore a broad disconnect between AI adoption and public trust. Additional research reinforces this skepticism and clarifies operational risks. AnswerConnect's survey of 6,000 consumers across the US, UK, and Canada found that 85% prefer human service over bot interactions, 57% lose trust in brands using AI for support, and 73% exhibit greater loyalty to businesses maintaining human involvement. Data from Fractal and Search Engine Land shows that the share of consumers who say heavy AI use would decrease their trust in a brand nearly doubled in a year, rising from 20% to 39%. Furthermore, 84% desire businesses to disclose AI use, yet only 20% of businesses consistently do so. These patterns suggest tangible declines in customer loyalty and increased expectation for transparency surrounding AI deployment. For MSPs and IT service providers, visible AI in customer-facing areas introduces pricing risk and trust liabilities. Delegating key customer interactions to AI without clear disclosure can erode brand equity and disrupt client retention metrics. The operational recommendation is to segment human-in-the-loop service as the standard premium offering, with fully automated AI positioned as a disclosed, lower-tier alternative. Writing these distinctions explicitly into contracts and statements of work—pairing them with actual client retention data—enables more defensible pricing and clarifies accountability, helping avoid unintended consequences tied to silent automation. 00:00 The Turn-Off 03:39 Reading the Motive 05:25 The Loyalty Account 08:35 Why Do We Care?

Send us Fan MailDr. Tommy Shavers, founder of NESTRE Health & Performance, and Carlos Perez, a retired Special Forces officer, join Joe to explore a powerful idea: the brain is not fixed. It can be measured, trained, strengthened, and improved.This episode was recorded after Joe visited NESTRE's performance center in Lake Nona, Florida, where he went through their cognitive assessment and brain training process firsthand. What followed was a conversation about performance, recovery, military transition, stress, and what happens when high performers spend years operating in survival mode and then struggle to turn their minds off.Tommy shares the story of how multiple concussions ended his college football career and nearly changed the course of his life. After being told his brain would only continue to decline, he began searching for a different answer—one that eventually led him to develop a model for cognitive recovery and performance training. Carlos explains why, as a retired Green Beret, he immediately saw the potential for this work inside the military and veteran communities.Joe, Tommy, and Carlos also discuss: Why the brain should be trained like the body What Joe learned from having his own brain “mapped” How high performers can operate well under pressure but pay a hidden cost over time Why veterans often struggle to shut their brains off after leaving the military The difference between treating the brain as broken and training it for performance How cognitive assessments could help military units better understand, train, and build teams Why stress, sleep, focus, and emotional regulation are performance issues—not just personal struggles This episode is for anyone who has spent years pushing hard, performing under pressure, and wondering why slowing down feels so difficult. It's also for leaders, veterans, athletes, and high performers who want to better understand how their brain works—and how they can train it to support the next chapter of their life.
In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about something every first responder deserves to understand but rarely gets explained in plain language: what repeated trauma exposure (Amazon Affiliate) actually does to the brain over time. This is not about being broken. This is about biology. When the brain is exposed to trauma repeatedly over the course of a career, it adapts — and those adaptations show up in ways that affect memory, emotion, relationships, decision-making, and physical health. Understanding what is happening inside your brain is one of the most important steps toward understanding yourself.
What if one tiny dating decision was secretly shaping how people see your value? In this week's episode, I dive into one of the internet's most heated modern dating debates: the coffee date. It's one that's sparked arguments across TikTok, Reddit, and dating culture at large.Some people say this common first-date move is practical and refreshing. Others claim it signals low standards, low effort, or even low self-worth. So…who's right?I unpack the surprising psychology behind why this topic triggers such strong reactions, how dating apps have completely changed expectations, and why many people may be focusing on the wrong thing entirely.The conversation goes far beyond dating etiquette. It's really about confidence, perception, emotional investment, and what actually matters when building a genuine connection.By the end, you may completely rethink what makes a date meaningful in the first place. ---►► Never Face Your Love Life Alone Again.

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Kevin McGonigle’s new contract and whether pre-arbitration extensions are still team-friendly, Tatsuya Imai’s adjustment period, MLB’s average four-seam fastball velo nearing 95 mph, a new frontier in catcher’s interference calls, and whether a new challenge signal should replace the head/helmet tap, then (1:21:02) Stat Blast about a historic scoring day, games in which the score most often matched the inning, homering against all other teams while playing for one team (and the most homers without going deep twice against the same team), opposing pitchers catching pop-ups in the same game, driving in oneself and no one else, and season-starting streaks of games with a lead.
