Send us a textFitness expert Josh Salzman shares his unconventional but highly effective approach to health, healing, and performance through the lens of his philosophy-driven training method. We explore why most fitness approaches fail and how simple changes in thinking, eating patterns, and recovery can transform your physical wellbeing.• 95% of fitness is mental—how you think, how you eat, how you sleep—only 5% is what you physically do• Pain can sometimes be a path to healing through proper myofascial release techniques• Forearm strength is critically overlooked yet essential for preventing injuries and improving performance • Intermittent fasting gives your gut necessary rest periods and activates healing through ketosis• Most anti-inflammatory medications and supplements create more problems by damaging gut health• Sugar acts like "rust" in your body, creating inflammation and preventing healing• Small muscles make big muscles stronger—focus on often-neglected areas like wrists and forearms• Alignment and posture issues often begin in the feet and travel up through the entire body• Recovery is where strength happens, not during training—"you want to get in shape quickly? Start slowly"For more information or to work with Josh directly, contact him at joshsalzman@gmail.com or look for his upcoming book.Support the showSpotify Apple podcastsAmazon Music all other streaming services

Sea control is more important than ever. With 80-90 percent of the global trade over sea, it is impossible to maintain the current economic order without stability and security of the world's major trading routes. However, more forces than ever are able to destabilize the global maritime network. Whether it is a resurgence in piracy, increased terrorist threats, or state paramilitary organizations, the number of threats at sea is increasing. Today we sat down with Pieter Zhao to discuss these new threats. We also talk about his research into how states are choosing to meet these threats including his work on private maritime security firms and paramilitary maritime forces. Articles Discussed:https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/nwc-review/vol77/iss1/7/https://militairespectator.nl/artikelen/winning-without-fighting-indo-pacificPieter Zhao is a PhD Researcher at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. His current research project focuses on maritime warfare and security from an applied historical perspective, specifically concerning non-state actors and irregular warfare at sea. After completing his BA and MA in History, he pursued a second Master's degree in International Security Studies at Sciences Po, Paris. He completed part of his graduate studies at the Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies in Washington DC, focusing on US-China relations, maritime security, and nuclear proliferation. As a historian, his research interests include international security and geopolitics, specifically in the maritime domain and the Indo-Pacific region. He has previously published in the Naval War College Review, European Journal of East Asian Studies, Comparative Strategy, Militaire Spectator, and the Strategy Bridge.

We also talk about some characters who we would like to see paired up.  To start the show, we talk about which directors we would like to see lead a Star Wars film, and also some other movies ideas we'd like to pitch.

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with Erik Lacitis, longtime journalist with the Seattle Times, to preview an upcoming story in the Sunday magazine. Lacitis put the call out last week for suggestions from readers - headlined “Riots, bad drivers, Dick's is overrated. Is this your Seattle? Tell us.” - asking for input about local places and products that tend to serve locals as well as tourists. The resulting piece, which will be something of an "unconventional visitor's guide," will be published in the magazine in the Sunday Seattle Times on August 3, 2025. More information about Erik Lacitis: www.seattletimes.com/author/erik-lacitis/ CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via space101fm.org. The radio station is located at historic Magnuson Park - formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

Unconventional thinking has led to the creation of awe-inspiring innovations. In today's episode, I take into consideration the contributions of two people who might have been called crazy. 

What does it look like to take a neuroscience degree far beyond the lab? In this episode, we explore a career path that crosses scientific research, government regulation, and biotech entrepreneurship with Dr. Amanda Wiggins, CEO of The cGP Lab. Amanda began her career investigating neurodegeneration and cortical spreading depression. Over time, her passion for real-world impact led her into public policy—where she helped shape New Zealand's Human Tissue Act and advised on regulations for stem cell research and genetic technologies. Today, she leads a company advancing neuroprotective health supplements based on cyclic Glycine-Proline (cGP), a molecule with growing potential in aging and cognitive health. We talk about: How to navigate transitions between academia, government, and business The challenges of working across disciplines—and how to build confidence in new spaces Lessons learned from leading regulatory change and scaling innovation Amanda's work at The cGP Lab and the science behind cGP's potential in brain health Advice for scientists who want to move into leadership, entrepreneurship, or public engagement This conversation is for anyone considering a non-linear career in neuroscience or wondering how to apply scientific training in new and meaningful ways.

(00:00) Indoor Golf Practice Techniques This chapter brings a lighthearted exchange about dogs and golf, as we share stories about our furry friends and how they intertwine with our lives. I talk about my dog Mulligan, a rescue who has become an essential part of our family, and we explore the touching notion of who truly rescues whom in a pet adoption. The conversation takes a fun turn as we discuss the unexpected challenges and joys of living with multiple dogs, including my grandson's decision to bring home two pit bulls and their puppies. On the golfing front, I recount my creative practice methods at home, like using a backyard for swings and even utilizing Nerf balls in the garage. We also touch on some golf tips, such as understanding ball flight, face direction, and club path to improve one's game, even if just practicing indoors. (12:11) Efficient Techniques for More Power This chapter explores how to hit a golf ball farther by focusing on efficiency and eliminating wasted energy. I discuss common mistakes, such as hitting the ball fat, swaying the back leg, and casting the club, and provide practical solutions to correct these inefficiencies. One innovative method I introduce involves using a loop of rope to improve swing sequence and body movement, emphasizing turning the chest first to enhance power transfer to the ball. Additionally, I suggest using alignment sticks to develop effortless power, highlighting the importance of hearing the "whoosh" noise at the right moment. These tips aim to transform powerless effort into effortless power, helping golfers maximize their swing efficiency and increase their distance on the course. (20:13) Effective Golf Practice Techniques This chapter focuses on the art of improving one's golf game, highlighting the importance of practice and having realistic expectations. We explore how mastering key skills, such as hitting the ball in the middle of the face, controlling ball flight, and increasing distance, can lead to greater satisfaction on the course. By emphasizing the need for practice and the use of tools like ropes and alignment sticks, we stress that true improvement doesn't come from simply showing up on the first tee without preparation. The key takeaway is to approach the game with zero expectations, allowing for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience that can lead to unexpectedly good rounds.

Bob Baxley is a design leader who has shaped products used by billions at Apple, Pinterest, Yahoo, and ThoughtSpot. During his eight years at Apple, he led design for the online store and the App Store, and witnessed the iPhone's transformative launch while working under Steve Jobs.

principle”—why the best products come from teams of 4 to 6, not 40 to 60• How to create design tenets vs. principles (with real examples)• The counterintuitive reason to delay drawing or prototyping as long as possible• Why software is fundamentally a medium, like film or music (not just a tool)• Why Bob “bounced off the culture” at Pinterest, and lessons from failure• The lunar landing story

Have you ever thought about...What a therapist, a grandma, and an organ donor teach you about service design?I know, this might sound like the start of a strange joke, but it gets to the heart of a big truth about our work. We invest a lot of time perfecting our journey maps, blueprints, and personas. But as we know, the challenges we work on won't be solved by a deliverable.They're solved through invisible "tools" like subtle influence, creating space for others, and building strategic relationships. So, where do you find these tools? Well, this episode is a great start.This episode is part of our "Inside Service Design" series, where we explore the real, unpolished practice of driving change from within organizations.And just like in the previous episodes you get to hear two brilliant in-house professionals, share some of their most powerful, non-traditional strategies. This time we're joined by Irina Damascan and Gina Mendolia.Gina walks us through her concept of "Setting the Trap" for engagement, and how she draws inspiration from the roles of therapists, coaches, and even grandmas to master the art of creating space and enabling teams to connect the dots themselves. Irina introduces a powerful model for influence she calls the "Organ Donor Chain," a strategic way to build networks of reciprocity by doing "favors" that enable change across the organization, often in unexpected ways.I have to say, it was refreshing to hear about effective mental models that go beyond design-as-usual, which aren't just theories but truly help to design better services.Want to add some (unconventional) tools that help you drive change to your toolkit? Grab your notebook and join us for this conversation.What's the most unconventional place you've found inspiration for your work? Maybe a different profession, a hobby, a movie? Share your inspiration in the comments on YouTube and let's continue the conversation there.Keep making a positive impact!~ Marc--- [ 1.

Brace yourselves, Booty Gang—this week on BUTT HONESTLY, we are joined by none other than WILLAM: the drag superstar, singer-songwriter, actor, podcaster, producer, and walking scandal in heels. You've seen them in A Star Is Born, you've laughed with them on UNCONVENTIONAL, and you've gagged on Hot Goss over on the MOGULS OF MEDIA network. Now? They're bringing that same unfiltered fabulousness right here. And it's everything.Dr. Carlton and Dangilo dive deep with Willam on:Pride Season survival tactics and how they stay fabulous from gig to gigTrans rights and why advocacy isn't optional.A definitive answer to the age-old question: What city has the best D?And of course—how to keep your hole ready while living that tour bus life. (Because a true professional stays ready.)Meanwhile, Dr. Carlton breaks down a groundbreaking new study using nanoparticles to target dormant HIV—science fiction? Nope. Just science.Then, it's time for the return of HIT IT AND QUIT IT, featuring:A long-distance lover looking for hope.A scarred chicken pox survivor wondering if his dots are still hot.And one brave soul experimenting with figging (yes, the thing with ginger root—Google wisely).As if that wasn't enough, the guys read a steamy listener story that'll fog your glasses and possibly ruin your couch.Finally, they wrap it all up with their Love Lounge of the Week, reminding us that beneath the glitter, gags, and ginger root, this show's still about love… and butts.So go on—press play, open your heart, and maybe your legs. Willam insists.

In this episode, we talk about how to get real Amazon reviews without breaking the rules. Our guest is Adam Melenkivitz, founder of Test Squared, a platform that helps Amazon sellers grow with FTC-compliant reviews. He shares how sellers can earn trust, avoid fake reviews, and stay on the right side of the law—while also getting real feedback that helps improve their products. Topics discussed in this episode:  Why authentic Amazon reviews are more critical than ever for building consumer trust. What the new FTC rule means for Amazon sellers. How TestSquared's matching system works without breaking Amazon's rules. Why most reviews aren't five-star ratings and that's actually beneficial. What product categories work best for authentic review programs. How the 35-day review timeline varies by product type. Why 20 authentic reviews is the magic number for Amazon's algorithm. How proper vetting prevents fake testers from gaming the system. What the affiliate program offers for referral partners. Why being unconventional in marketing helps generate organic reviews. Links & Resources Website: https://www.testsquared.com/ Affiliate link: https://www.testsquared.com/affiliate LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adammelenkivitz/ Get access to more free resources by visiting the show notes athttps://tinyurl.com/4h9sdwtn SUPPORT OUR SPONSORThis episode is sponsored by Ahrefs — the all-in-one marketing intelligence platform trusted by SEO professionals, content creators, and digital marketers around the world.

You may have heard me quote a former acting coach a time or two on this podcast, that “if you want to bring life into your characters, you have to first live a life in order to have something to pour onto the stage, screen or microphone.”  I'd say the same holds true for any good author or storyteller. Today, I'm incredibly honored to have as my guest, Alex Poppe, the multi-award-winning author renowned for her compelling literary fiction that delves into themes of resilience, identity, and social justice.  After graduating at the top of her university's undergraduate business school, Alex began her  professional career as a business analyst for Mobile Oil and quickly became disenchanted with the corporate culture after, she, and I quote, “hit my head too many times on the glass ceiling and exchanged my corporate life to pursue an artistic one.”  Poppe moved to New York to enroll in the ‘Circle in the Square's' two-year professional actor training program.  It's where Alex honed her observation skills and enabled her to quickly identify and address individual student learning challenges after she quit her acting pursuits, got certified to Teach English as a Second Language, moved to Poland for her first teaching assignment, and then eventually to the Middle East spending almost a decade there as an educator in several prestigious public and private universities.   Her experience as an actor, world traveler, humanitarian aid worker and educator in war-torn conflict zones, before coming back stateside to work for USAID, is what Alex pours onto the page. Alex joins me today to talk about her forthcoming memoir, Breakfast Wine: A Memoir of Chasing an Unconventional Life and Finding a Way Home, which chronicles her transformative journey from that disillusioned corporate professional in the U.S. to an educator navigating cultural complexities and personal upheavals.  To contact Alex Poppe directly via the followng: Business email: sallya.poppe@gmail.com Business website: www.alexpoppe.com On Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/alex_poppe_author/ On LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/sallyalexpoppe/ Order Breakfast Wine at Bookshop.org or your local indie bookstore.
