Next week at the time of writing, I have a job interview and one of the questions relates to what are the signs of radicalisation in children. The interview is for a learning support assistant role at a local school and the UK Government makes it a legal requirement for workers in education to Prevent radicalisation in children, so this is a part of that duty of care. In addition, whilst we've previously learnt about terrorism and other related criminal psychology topics on the podcast, we haven't learnt about radicalisation too much before now. Therefore, in this forensic psychologypodcast episode, you'll learn what is radicalisation, what are the signs of radicalisation in children and why is radicalisation in children important to learn about. If you enjoy learning about terrorism, radicalisation and criminal psychology then this will be a great episode for you.In the psychology news section, you'll learn about how amputation doesn't change our "body map" after all, how healthcare comments can impact parent-child relationship before the baby is born, and how spotting sickness primes us to fight infection.LISTEN NOW!If you want to support the podcast, please check out:FREE AND EXCLUSIVE 8 PSYCHOLOGY BOOK BOXSET- https://www.subscribepage.io/psychologyboxsetForensic Psychology of Terrorism and Hostage Taking- https://www.connorwhiteley.net/forensic-psychology-of-terrorism-and-hostage-taking Available from all major eBook retailers and you can order the paperback and hardback copies from Amazon, your local bookstore and local library, if you request it.

This month's episode of the Alcohol Alert Podcast is a special cross-post from The Alcohol Debate Podcast, hosted by alcohol-freedom coach Tabbin Almond. In this episode, Tabbin is joined by Jem Roberts, Head of External Affairs at the Institute of Alcohol Studies, for a wide-ranging discussion on alcohol policy in the UK and Ireland.From Ireland's world-first alcohol labelling law and its recent delays, to the UK Government's 10-Year Health Plan and the omission of minimum unit pricing, Jem explains how political choices – and industry lobbying – shape the nation's response to alcohol harm.“Pricing policies have a really quick effect on saving lives. So if you want to be coming into the next general election showing tangible results from your policies, they're pretty good policies to introduce."Subscribe to Tabbin's podcast on Apple, Spotify, or most other podcast platforms.

Why does the UK government make life harder for single people? From tax breaks to housing costs, being single often means paying more. In this episode of Sexonomic, we explore why that calculation is misguided and what needs to change. We also look at the “my mother suffered, so I'm not going to” theory, where women are choosing healthier relationships based on compatibility rather than financial survival will always mean more overall happiness. The Sexonomists share our own laws and recommendations on how policy can better support single people and why fairness for singles benefits everyone - enjoy

How is technology shaping the way we live, learn, and connect? And what does that mean for young people growing up in a digital-first world?In this bonus episode of Our World, Connected, host Christine Wilson revisits a powerful conversation with Baroness Beeban Kidron, crossbench peer in the House of Lords and founder of the 5Rights Foundation. A leading advocate for children's digital rights, Beeban reflects on the urgent need to rethink how technology is designed and regulated — and the responsibilities of governments, educators, and tech companies in keeping young people safe online.Christine also connects Beeban's insights to other voices from across the series: from linguist David Crystal on how digital culture is reshaping our language, to consultant Larisa Halilovic on how new technologies are impacting on how we communicate — and what we feel we can trust.Together, these conversations explore a central issue of our time: how digital tools are transforming us all — and how we can harness them for connection, creativity, and positive change.Listen to Our World, Connected, brought to you by the British Council.

Light Science Technologies Holdings CEO Simon Deacon joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company has secured two new contracts within its rapidly growing Passive Fire Protection division, marking another step forward in expanding its building safety solutions offering. The newly signed agreements cover projects in Manchester and Birmingham. The Manchester contract involves the remediation of a hotel operated by a prominent multinational chain, while the Birmingham project focuses on fire safety works for a school building managed by a leading UK construction company. Deacon highlighted that beyond the immediate scope of these two projects, there is significant potential to expand the relationship with both clients, given the large portfolios of buildings they manage. Each contract therefore represents not just a single project, but a gateway to broader, long-term opportunities. Scheduled for completion in H2 2025, these projects underscore the scale and urgency of the legislation-driven market opportunity. The UK Government has remained vocal about its commitment to tackling the national remediation backlog, reinforcing the need for effective, compliant, and minimally disruptive fire protection solutions—areas where Light Science Technologies is building a strong competitive advantage. With demand from both new and repeat customers continuing to grow, Light Science Technologies' Passive Fire Protection division is well-positioned to capitalize on this momentum and further establish itself as a trusted partner in delivering cost-effective solutions that safeguard buildings and communities. #proactiveinvestors #lightsciencetechnologiesplc #aim #lst #LightScienceTechnologies #BuildingSafety #FireProtection #PassiveFireProtection #SafeBuildings #CommunitySafety #FutureReady #Compliance #Sustainability#Construction #PropertyManagement #Remediation #BuildingSolutions #UKConstruction

United Kingdom correspondent, Lucy Thomson spoke to Lisa Owen about the UK Government looking into an overhaul of the asylum appeal system, as well as changes to sentencing rules in England and Wales that could see convicted criminals excluded from bars and pubs.

People convicted of crimes in England and Wales could find themselves barred from going to pubs, concerts and sports matches under proposed new rules. The Government is looking into making changes to new sentencing rules, which will give the courts more power to enforce bans. UK correspondent Gavin Grey explained that these changes could be a deterrent to criminals. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

According to reporting, government files detailing Prince Andrew's decade-long tenure as the UK's Special Representative for International Trade and Investment will stay locked away until 2065—some 105 years after his birth—under royal family exemptions to Freedom of Information laws. In practice, this means the public banished from scrutinizing any records tied to his taxpayer-funded diplomatic role, just when transparency should be their highest priority following the Epstein debacle. This isn't mere protocol; it's a stonewall, shielding a scandal-riddled prince from public accountability under the guise of "royal privilege."The timing couldn't be more suspect: Prince Andrew's ties to Jeffrey Epstein have already cost him public trust, official titles, and patronages.

How does a particle physicist end up shaping the UK Government's approach to artificial intelligence? In this thought‑provoking episode, Andrew Grill sits down with Dr Laura Gilbert CBE, former Director of Data Science at 10 Downing Street and now the Senior Director of AI at the Tony Blair Institute.Laura's unique career path, from academic research in physics to the heart of policymaking, gives her a rare perspective on how governments can use emerging technologies not just efficiently, but humanely. She shares candid insights into how policy teams think about digital transformation, why the public sector faces very different challenges to private industry, and how to avoid technology that dehumanises decision‑making.Drawing on examples from her work in Whitehall, Laura discusses the realities of forecasting in AI, the danger of “buzzword chasing”, and why the next breakthrough in Artificial General Intelligence might well come from an unexpected player, possibly from within government itself.This is a conversation for anyone curious about the intersection of science, policy, ethics, and technology, and how they can combine to make government more responsive, transparent, and human-centred.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow Laura Gilbert moved from particle physics research into government AI leadershipThe strategic role of AI in shaping modern policy and public servicesWhy forecasting in AI is harder than it looks—and how this impacts decision‑makersThe balance between technical capability and human‑centred governanceWhy governments must look beyond the tech giants for innovative solutionsLessons from the Evidence House and AI for Public Good programmesResourcesTony Blair Global Institute WebsiteUK Government AI IncubatorLaura on LinkedInRaindrop.io bookmarking appThanks for listening to Digitally Curious.

The UK government has dropped a political bombshell - admitting that 150,000 foreign care workers brought into Britain legally have completely vanished without trace. In this urgent episode, we expose how systemic failures allowed this to happen: from fake documents and human trafficking to exploited loopholes and missing billions of taxpayer money. We'll break down the shocking Home Office report, analyze the related dinghy smuggling scandal, and examine the government's controversial new policy of deporting criminals instead of jailing them. With 61% of Brits now citing immigration as the country's most divisive issue, we ask the critical question: Is this sheer incompetence or something more sinister?

In this episode we are exploring the relationship between financial institutions and the built environment in relation to sustainability, building performance and mitigating climate change with Ian Bhullar and Ronnell Reffell from UK Finance, the UK financial sector's membership organisation.The episode itself was prompted by a report that UK Finance published in relation to the incoming UK Government's own Warm Homes Plan: Greening Homes, Creating Growth: Unlocking demand for green home finance. Its recommendations will be familiar to anyone who has been working in the green building sector but it's notable because these arguments and demands are being presented by the banks and lenders.For us this presented an opportunity to find out what the finance sector is actually thinking about how to address the demands of the built environment in relation to climate change and the financial risk that comes with it. Most importantly, they're serious about the matter—this is not ESG-style fluff, they know they need to draw in expertise from built environment professional and they want to know what people like you think.Notes from the showIan Bhullar on LinkedinRonnell Reffell on Linkedin The UK Finance website The report itself—Greening Homes, Creating Growth: Unlocking demand for green home finance**SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this podcast, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn page (we still don't have a proper website)Jeff and Dan about Zero Ambitions Partners (the consultancy) for help with positioning and communications strategy, customer/user research and engagement strategy, carbon calculations and EPDs – we're up to all sortsSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd Alter's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Retrofit Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**

On September 3rd 2025, diabetes and sport will go under the global spotlight that is a House of Commons debate. In today's episode the man who made it happen tells us why - and what this could mean for the millions of people living with diabetes in the UK.Chris Bright is one of the community's crusaders. As part of his role as Community Partnerships and Events Lead at Breakthrough T1D in the UK, he has put diabetes in sport on the agenda at the highest possible level. The goal? To improve the inclusivity of physical activity for people with diabetes. The need is clear - the Equality Act that safeguards around 3.5 million people with diabetes in work and education does not currently extend to sport. In fact, recent research found that of 180 existing governing bodies in sport, only four have policies in place for people with diabetes.Diagnosed at the age of 8, Chris overcame stigma and the challenges of a very inflexible insulin regime as a young athlete to represent Wales at futsal. He later used those negative experiences as momentum to build The Diabetes Football Community, bringing young footballers with diabetes together while rewriting attitudes to type 1 diabetes and football.In this episode we dig into different pockets of Chris's work, including some new recommendations for travel, airports and airport security. We touch on his personal journey, and he reveals his strategy for successfully creating change in the face of inequality - perfect for anyone who feels as galvanised as I was listening to Chris's phenomenal story. CONNECT WITH CHRISFollow Chris on Instagram.Find Chris on X.Follow Chris on TikTok.The Diabetes Football Community website.Breakthrough T1D Community Events Calendar.JOIN THE TYPE 1 ON 1 COMMUNITY Come and say hi @studiotype1on1 on Instagram.Visit the Type 1 on 1 website.Subscribe to the Type 1 on 1 newsletter.DISCLAIMER Nothing you hear on Type 1 on 1 should be taken as medical advice. Please consult your healthcare team before making any changes to your diabetes or health management.SPONSOR MESSAGE This episode of Type 1 on 1 is sponsored by Dexcom.

We all know that good boundaries are essential if we want happy relationships. There is a lot of confusion, though, about what exactly a boundary is and how to make it work. Can we have too many boundaries? Should we ever compromise on the boundaries we set? In this week's classic reissued episode, Andrew talks about boundaries with Graham Johnston and Matt Wotton from the London Centre of Applied Psychology. Matt and Graham share their own experiences of creating boundaries in both love and parenting, and what it means if we are struggling to get this right. Our ability to set boundaries is linked closely to our attachment style: those with an anxious attachment may allow their boundaries to crumble too easily; while those with an avoidant attachment can have so many rigid boundaries that they struggle to let anyone in. Andrew also shares a prayer for good boundaries, which he often uses with marital therapy clients: 'I am me and You are you. It's a miracle that we've found each other But I'm responsible for my stuff And you're responsible for yours' Graham Johnston is a psychotherapist and educator. He is Director of Policy at The Bowlby Centre, the UK's leading training institution in attachment-based psychotherapy, and has also worked for the UK Government, specialising in home affairs. He and Matt Wotton are the Co-Founders and Directors of LCAP.  Matt Wotton is a psychotherapist and executive coach, and also Chair of The Bowlby Centre and Director at LCAP. Matt has over two decades of experience in forensic mental health in the criminal justice system - in operations, coaching leaders, and advising ministers. He led the review of Race in the Criminal Justice System (The Lammy Review), commissioned by the Prime Minister, and has been a member of the Prison & Probation Board.  Follow Up Attend Andrew's new men's retreat, Reconnect With Yourself, this autumn in the Brandenberg countryside near Berlin  Get Andrew's free guide to difficult conversations with your partner: How to Tell Your Partner Difficult Things  Learn more about the London Centre for Applied Psychology (LCAP), where Graham Johnston and Matt Wotton work as Directors.  Learn more about The Bowlby Centre,  the UK's leading training institution in attachment-based psychotherapy.  Follow LCAP on Twitter and Facebook @LCAPsychology.

Nuclear energy lawyer Vince Zabielski, partner at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, has advised on numerous nuclear energy projects across the world, including the UAE nuclear new-build programme as well as those in Turkey, Bulgaria and the United Kingdom.A mechanical engineer before moving into law, he tells host Alex Hunt about the haircut that launched his career in nuclear, his switch to the law, and explains the important role played by nuclear energy lawyers which is, he says, essentially "problem solving", for example finding a path forward on risk allocation to allow what are giant projects to go ahead.Based in Pillsbury's London office, Zabielski talks about the recent announcements from the UK about Sizewell C funding and explains the benefits of the Regulated Asset Base financing system which is being used there, rather than the Contracts for Difference system used at the Hinkley Point C project and explains why he hopes the RAB system will be adopted elsewhere in Europe.He also talks about the challenge ahead to meet the ambitious goals for future nuclear energy capacity, including how regulators can help. And he explains why he'd encourage young people to consider a career in nuclear power.Also in this episode, in the news round-up, Claire Maden reports on the UK Government taking the Final Investment Decision on Sizewell C - which will feature two EDF EPRs with a capacity of 3.2GW - and the finalising of the project shareholdings. She also outlines the key findings of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency's Small Modular Reactor Dashboard, which has identified 127 different SMR designs around the world.Key links to find out more:World Nuclear NewsSizewell C gets final go-ahead decisionThere are now 127 different SMR designs, finds NEA reportThe NEA SMR Digital DashboardPillsbury: Vince ZabielskiEmail newsletter:Sign up to the World Nuclear News daily or weekly news round-upsContact info:alex.hunt@world-nuclear.orgEpisode credit:  Presenter Alex Hunt.

WarRoom Battleground Ep 818: Our New Overlords — UK Government Website Carries Job Advertisement For “Sharia Law Administrator”

UKPolitics #LanceForman #JonGaunt #KeirStarmer #Gaza #Hamas #Trump Jon Gaunt sits down with former Brexit Party MEP and leading businessman Lance Forman for a hard-hitting interview on UK politics, the Middle East, Donald Trump, and the future of Britain. Lance blasts Keir Starmer's “ceasefire ultimatum” as a dangerous gamble — accusing him of rewarding terrorism, ignoring Donald Trump's influence, and pandering to his backbenchers over fears of Jeremy Corbyn's political comeback. He argues that Israel has already offered a ceasefire, and that Hamas is holding things up.  He doesn't hold back on the BBC, accusing it of bias and a hidden anti-Semitic agenda in British politics and media. Lance warns that Starmer's first year in office has been a disaster, and predicts: “There's no way back for Starmer… and that's quite dangerous.”  From Trump's approach to business, immigration, and taxes to the lack of real-world experience in the UK's political elite, Lance delivers an unfiltered take on why Britain is “in such a mess.”  He also defends Nigel Farage from the Jimmy Savile smear, calling him the most charismatic leader in UK politics today.  In this explosive conversation, Lance also reveals: • Why Trump “gets” the Middle East and Starmer doesn't • The truth about Brexit and Theresa May • Why a new definition of Islamophobia is unnecessary •  How political inexperience is crippling Britain's leadership  If you care about UK politics, Brexit, free speech, or the Middle East, you won't want to miss this.  #Brexit #LanceForman #JonGaunt #KeirStarmer #Ceasefire #Israel #Hamas #Trump #BBCBias #UKPolitics #NigelFarage #Corbyn #MiddleEast #Islamophobia #TheresaMay #BrexitParty  Lance Forman, jon gaunt, keir starmer, gaza, ceasefire, israel, hamas, trump, bbc bias, uk politics, nigel farage, corbyn, middle east, islamophobia, theresa may, brexit party, starmer gaza gamble, starmer is finished, dangerous times ahead, uk government, labour party, political crisis, british politics, farage next pm

FOLLOW UP: ELECTRIC CAR GRANT FALLOUT CONTINUESAs more details are revealed and more people begin to understand all of the ramifications of the UK Government's Electric Car Grant. Firstly, the list of car eligible for the two tiers of payments will be confirmed on 11 August 2025. The scheme went live on 16 July 2025. Click here to read an Autocar article on this. Secondly, car companies can self-register cars for the scheme and as the rules include Fleet registrations, this opens up the ability for abuse. Whilst these cars contributed to the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, now tax payer's money will be used to support car companies to be compliant. Click this link here to read more on that from Autocar. There are some suggesting that the overall scheme will have little affect, as was discussed on the show last week. Indicata, a motoring related data firm, has calculated that the grant will affect only 5.8% or 14.4% of new car registrations, dependent on which tier is sought. They also have used information from Italy's attempt as a similar scheme that made a small impact. On top of all that they highlight the danger of dramatic depreciation for newly bought vehicles and those outside of the eligibility of the scheme. Click this link to read more from a Motor Trader article. Some manufacturers are forging ahead and offering discounts on their cars at the same rate as the lower tier of the grant. The likes of Alfa Romeo, GWM, Hyundai, Leapmotor, MG and Volvo have already made their move. Click this AutoTrader article for more.Another issued raised was that the scheme ignores the used market. The Independent Motor Dealers Association (IMDA) has called for a £1000 grant for used EVs. Click this Motor Trader article link here to read more. FOLLOW UP: EMPLOYEE CAR OWNERSHIP SCHEMES IN CROSSHAIRSThe UK Government first brought up, what it felt, was the unfair practice of Employee Car Ownership Schemes back in the autumn. This is where a member of staff gets a new car, for a short period of time and then moves onto a new car, whilst paying a much reduced contribution that anyone outside of the scheme would. Proposed legislation will mean anyone taking advantage of such a scheme will be taxed as though that was a company car. To read more, click this Motor Trader article link here.

The Hovercraft SR-N1, piloted by Captain Peter Lamb, sailed from Calais to Dover on 25th July 1959, fifty years to the day after Louis Blériot made the first crossing of the English Channel. It took 2 hours, 3 minutes.  The brainchild of British engineer and inventor Christopher Cockerell, Hovercraft was described as a cross between an aircraft, a boat and a land vehicle, hovering just above the water on a cushion of air. Ultimately over 80 million people and 12 million cars crossed the Channel using Hovercraft.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how Cockerell eventually got the UK Government on-side; consider the role of Duty Free regulations in its popularity and demise; and attempt to settle for good whether this iconic craft is *really* a boat, or a plane…  Further Reading: • Cross-Channel Aviation Pioneers: Blanchard and Bleriot, Vikings and Viscounts - By Bruce Hales-Dutton' (Pen and Sword, 2021):  https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Cross_Channel_Aviation_Pioneers/S90SEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Captain+Peter+Lamb,+John+Chaplin+,+Christopher+Cockerell&pg=PA171&printsec=frontcover • ‘Back to the future — amphibious travel gets a fresh lease of life' (FT, 2016): https://www.ft.com/content/c986c712-3dd3-11e6-8716-a4a71e8140b0 • ‘What Happened To Giant Hovercraft?'

FOLLOW UP: UK GOV ANNOUNCES ELECTRIC CAR GRANTFollowing months and months of calling on the UK Government to help private registrations with financial aid, the motor industry has got what it wants. Sort of. The Electric Car Grant has been announced that will be up to £3,750 off the price of a new car that is listed at under £37,000 plus other criteria, including how clean the grid is where the car was built. That last point effectively cuts out Chinese EVs due to their CO2 intensive energy supplies. The grant is active now, with OEMs and dealerships claiming the money back following registration. Added to which, it applies to all buyers and not just private, as was called for. Many within the industry have expressed their disappointment in the scheme, especially how it has ignored the second hand market plus the knock on effect this will have to depreciation.

CHINA THROTTLES BATTERY MATERIAL EXPORTSChina is once again reminding the world who controls almost all of the supply chain when it comes to electric cars. This time they have, due to being now classed as security relevant, implemented an immediate export restriction on battery material preparation technology, ie. stuff that goes into making battery cathodes used in electric cars and energy storage. No reason has been really given for the sudden move. You can find out more by clicking this electrive article link here. JLR CUTS JOBS AS SALES DROPJLR has announced it is seeking voluntary redundancies from management positions, following the last quarter's drop in sales. The company said it expects no more than 500 roles to go. The reason for reduced sales is being mainly put at the feet of the US tariff mess. Click this Autocar article link here to read more. GEELY BUYS ZEEKERGeely has acquired the final 37.2% of Zeeker shares, that were listed on the New York Stock Exchange only last year. This will cost the Chinese company around $2.4 billion. Suggestions are this has happened due to the geopolitical outlook and adding them to the group enables greater cost savings thanks to increasing the economy of scale benefits when purchasing parts.

The White House has played down reports that Donald Trump privately encouraged Volodymyr Zelensky to strike targets deep inside Russia, including Moscow and St Petersburg. That's despite the US president's promise to deliver more weapons to Ukraine via NATO allies, and a new threat of secondary tariffs on countries buying Russian oil and gas. So is his administration's approach to Russia changing?Also, we hear about the more than 250,000 Ukrainians who came to the UK under schemes granting them special protections in the first three years of war. With their initial permission to stay running out, many must now make difficult choices about whether to try and claim asylum or renew their existing status on a shorter-term basis. We speak to Oleksandra, who has seen her asylum application refused, and her lawyer Halyna Semchak, who is challenging government policy on the issue.Today's episode is presented by Jamie Coomarasamy and Vitaly Shevchenko.

Did you know that what's on your plate can help you while you're at the gym? Join hosts Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher as they dive into the vital role of protein in muscle health and strength training. What's the ideal protein intake you should aim for every day? And where can you get proteins from, in the first place? Whether you're just starting out or enhancing your regimen, this episode will equip you with the knowledge to optimize your protein intake for maximum personal training and health gains. Hosts Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher begin the conversation by discussing why dietary protein consumption is so important for muscle health. Dr. Fisher explains how dietary habits are more important than your engagement in muscle-building exercise for the fact that, while you may engage in strength training a couple of times a week, you eat every single day. Muscle protein synthesis is the process of muscle regeneration, while muscle protein breakdown is the destruction of muscle protein cells. As we age, we have an elevated muscle protein breakdown compared to our anabolic youth.  To combat the natural breakdown, it's important to ensure we engage in things that will elevate our muscle protein synthesis.  Dr. Fisher unpacks the concept of amino acids and touches upon essential and non-essential amino acids. When it comes to diets, Dr. Fisher typically advocates for a whole food, less processed, relatively varied diet. Dr. Fisher brings the topic of animal-based and plant-based proteins into the conversation. Remember: the engagement of strength training is the boost to muscle protein synthesis to try and hang on to every ounce of muscle we've got – and proteins are going to help to do that. Dr. Fisher goes into the differences between plant-based sources of proteins, animal-based proteins, and supplemental proteins. When it comes to animal-based proteins, grass-fed or free-range poultry or beef are at the top of the list.  For Dr. Fisher, the UK Government's recommendation of 0.75 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight is way too low. Evidence-based studies by Dr. Stuart Phillips, Brad Schoenfeld, and colleagues show that the amount of protein for muscle protein synthesis is between 1.6 and 2.2 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. As far as meal planning and protein intake are concerned, Dr. Fisher suggests being in the region of 32 to 44 grams of protein per meal. Constantly feeling hungry? It may be that you aren't consuming enough dietary protein to keep you full for long enough between your meals, says Amy. Amy goes into the “blood sugar rollercoaster”. As we age, our muscle protein breakdown increases – meaning that we have a higher need for protein to combat that with more muscle protein synthesis. Dr. Fisher and Amy share some final considerations about the role of protein, especially for those who haven't paid much attention to their dietary habits or who have just started engaging in strength training.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

389 Identifying and Acting On Problems You Can Solve   We are surrounded by problems everyday of our lives, some manageable and others seeming too monumental to handle alone. Which is why it is so important to build a community of like minded individuals with the same goal of making a true difference.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Tessa Clarke discuss the relationship people have with stuff, food waste, and how Tessa's company Olio have been making a real difference in the face of the climate crisis.     Highlights Our relationship with objects, like clothing, that shape our identity.  What do you waste without realizing? How much do you think you throw away in a week? A month? And a year? We all need someone in our corner to help build us up and to help chart a path forward. Building community while also solving problems. Quit wishing things would be better and start making the change yourself.   Quotes “We always think the grass is greener on the other side but it never is.” “What's good for the planet is good for people and vice versa.” “It is honestly exhausting being a founder, trying to drive the change in a world that's set up not to change. So you've got to find ways to reenergize yourself and to keep going, to keep fighting every single day.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, When you think about those 4 to 5 years that Tessa talked about and that journey of wanting to be entrepreneurial and thinking about it in terms of “what is the problem I can solve?” What is something you could start today, maybe it eventually becomes a side hustle, maybe the side hustle stays a side hustle, or maybe it turns into something more. What is a problem that you've experienced, that maybe you're the person to solve?    And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Tessa Tessa Clarke is the co-founder and CEO of Olio, the world's only neighbour-to-neighbour food-sharing app, and a trailblazing force in the fight against waste. Since launching in 2015 - and as a remote first business - Olio has grown into a global movement with 8 million users, redistributing over 100 million meals and 14 million household items, proving that small actions can drive massive change.

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.
