"In terms of the research, I can get lost in detective mode. Sometimes it's good if I know, okay, I only have an hour. I'm going to see what what can I learn about this one person in an hour. Then take it in those little pieces, and when I have time, I can get some writing done," says Elizabeth Chamblee Burch, author of The Pain Brokers.Today we have Elizabeth Chamblee Burch, a professor at the University of Georgia School of Law and the debut author of The Pain Brokers: How Con Men, Call Centers, and Rogue Doctors Fuel America's Lawsuit Factory. It's published by Atria/One Signal Publishers.It's a story of greed, fear, and exploitation of a scam that targeted women who had potentially faulty pelvic mesh surgery, only to have a shady network of cons terrify these women, over the phone, with vast amounts of personal information, scaring them to have this mesh removed that effectively has ruined the lives of countless women. The Pain Brokers chronicles their plight, as well as the lawyers who sought justice and the predatory people at the spearhead of this scheme.So Elizabeth's focus of her teaching is in mass torts, class actions, and civil procedure. She's been a visiting professor at Harvard Law School and won the American Law Institute's Early Career Scholars Meal in 2015, among a few other saucy awards. Her academic work and commentary have appeared in The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and the Miami Herald, just to name a few.

In this honest and transformative episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, we sit down with Brent Freeman, entrepreneur, speaker, author, and coach, to explore the hard lesson he learned after two decades of building successful companies: that success means little without inner peace.Brent shares the journey behind The Alchemy of Joy, his modern, science-backed approach to wellbeing, featured in GQ, Life & Style, Men's Health, and USA Today. Having rebuilt his own life from the inside out, he now helps others find greater peace, presence, and lasting joy—revealing that true confidence isn't found in achievement, but in reconnecting with who you are beneath it.

This week I sat down with Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, an Enneagram Eight and Two who have been married for more than forty years, for a fun and personal conversation about love, mental health, and self-awareness. We talked honestly about what it actually takes to stay curious, connected, and growing in our relationships. And, we explored the ways our best qualities can sometimes get distorted, what anxiety can teach us about ourselves, and why self-awareness is often the beginning of real change. I noticed that nearly every story we shared came back to the same thing. Les has a phrase for it: awareness is curative. He talked about the anxiety he's carried since he was young, and how simply naming it "is like putting a handle on a hot tea kettle; suddenly you can pick it up." Leslie spoke with tenderness about the seasons of her life where she has struggled and her long road back. Their experiences are why they wrote their new book, The One Year Positive Mental Health Devotional (Tyndale, October 6, 2026). With society leaning into the mental health crisis, especially among young people, Les and Leslie felt it in their personal lives and daily work and wanted to provide a companion for all of us holding it together on the outside while something unravels underneath. It's an invitation to recognize and sit with where you really are. At the same time, their MyHeartChart quiz grows from the same root. While the Enneagram describes who you are, your traits, your wiring, MyHeartChart tells you where you are right now in the relationship that matters most to you. It's an opportunity to take the pulse of the state of your relationship, alone…for free. This is a conversation about marriage, parenting, mental health, the Enneagram, and the ongoing work of becoming more present to the people we love. But more than anything, it's about learning to notice ourselves so we can show up differently for each other.   ABOUT DRS. LES AND LESLIE PARROTT Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott are #1 New York Times bestselling authors and psychologists. Their books include The Love Language That Matters Most; Health Me, Healthy Us; and the award-winning Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts.

According to CBC News, the Trump administration announced new restrictions on a range of Canadian imports, including certain alcoholic beverages, whey products, motorcycles, and molasses products, escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada. According to USA Today, the U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear a case involving state laws that restrict who can own or operate liquor distilleries and how alcohol is regulated after production.

"Domestic violence and sexual assault are the least investigated, least prosecuted, and least coming to conviction crimes in the country... That cannot be your standard." Rita Smith is a nationally recognized expert in domestic violence who has appeared on many local and national radio and television news shows, including the Washington Post, USA Today, People Magazine, NPR, The Today Show, Good Morning America, and the Oprah Winfrey Show. She began her career in 1981 as a shelter crisis line advocate and ascended to lead the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) from 1992-2014. Smith currently serves as a senior advisor to the National Football League on policy and training issues related to domestic violence and sexual assault.  Host: Katie Koestner Editor: Evan Mader Producers: Catrina Aglubat and Emily Wang

Today's Headlines: Republicans dragged Jack Smith back to Congress to testify about his Trump investigations, tried to catch him in a lie about attending a basketball game, and got the team name wrong — so he wasn't even at the game they accused him of attending, which is a new low for congressional gotcha moments. Meanwhile, Trump is personally handpicking the taxpayer-funded TV ads praising himself that DHS is airing before the midterms using $20 million from Customs and Border Protection funding. Trump also held a day-long AI summit he's calling "SI," had tech executives sign what he called a "morally binding" voluntary self-policing agreement, and launched America.gov — an AI-powered government website that initially answered that Trump lost the 2020 election before being updated to refuse the question entirely. Of course. Hegseth announced he's cutting over 20% of admirals and generals across the Army, Navy, and Air Force. In other news, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to let deportations to third countries continue while they decide whether it's constitutional — which is the judicial equivalent of "keep doing it while we figure out if you're allowed to." The Venezuelan DoorDash driver ICE shot ten days ago, who still has a bullet in his back because ICE rushed him out of the hospital, was charged with assaulting an agent for allegedly swiping him with a side mirror while trying to drive away. California banned ICE's electric shock gloves the same week. The Senate passed the Protect College Sports Act 77-22 in a rare bipartisan moment overhauling college athletics and NIL rules, though it still needs to pass the House after midterms. And New York Governor Hochul called the Cornell gang rape allegations "nothing short of horrifying" and requested an independent review, as USA Today revealed Cornell received 1,200 sexual assault reports between 2018 and 2024, filed disciplinary charges in 162, and expelled only 7 people.

On this week's episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by Meghan French Dunbar, bestselling author, business anthropologist and founder of Conscious Company Magazine, the first nationally distributed print magazine in the US focusing on impact-driven business. Meghan's book, This Isn't Working: How Working Women Can Overcome Stress, Guilt, and Overload to Find True Success, is a USA Today bestseller and Next Big Idea Club selection. She works with companies including Coach, John Deere, Torani and Kate Spade on leadership and culture strategy, writes for Forbes, Fast Company and Inc, and hosts the podcast Unbehaved. She was diagnosed with ADHD four years ago, and this conversation made a lot of sense of a lot of things. We talk about purpose burnout, motherhood, identity, joy and what it actually looks like to build a life and career around meaning rather than productivity. Meghan is warm, honest and brilliantly funny, and this is one of those conversations that leaves you feeling both validated and quietly ready to do something differently.

The terrifying horror trilogy finale to the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling series that includes Chasing the Boogeyman and Becoming the Boogeyman from “one of horror's indispensable writers” (Paste).Notorious serial killer Joshua Gallagher—dubbed “the Boogeyman” by the media—has vanished from prison. One moment, he was locked inside a maximum-security cell; the next, he was gone, leaving behind on the wall a crude hangman puzzle and two chilling words: IT'S TIME.Now, days later, the world is coming apart again. Bodies are turning up near writer and Gallagher confidante Richard Chizmar's home, echoing the Boogeyman's signature horrors. The news frenzy reignites while the police chase shadows...even as Gallagher's twisted true crime fanbase celebrates online, acknowledging that he's something more than human now.To everyone else, it's a desperate hunt for answers. To Chizmar, it's more like destiny closing in. The evidence, the sightings, the voices in the dark all point to one unthinkable conclusion: the Boogeyman never left. And very soon, Chizmar must come face-to-face with the thing wearing Gallagher's skin, and learns all too quickly that some nightmares don't return—they evolve.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

I thought this might be of interest as an interview about an unexplained creative experience at the intersection of consciousness, imagination, and the mystery of where stories come from. After a baseball-sized brain tumor upended Barry Maher's career, he went into surgery not knowing what kind of life would be waiting for him afterward. What he woke up with was something he never expected: a full-blown, vivid, horrific story playing in his mind, like a memory of something he had just watched. Ultimately that story became the seed of Maher's new novel, The Great Dick: And the Dysfunctional Demon (Crystal Lake Publishing), whose title parodies both The Great Gatsby and Moby-Dick. Maher, a nationally syndicated humorist, does not claim to know exactly how the story materialized, or where it came from. Was it an anesthesia-induced hallucination? The result of a seizure during surgery? Something his unconscious mind had somehow assembled? Or something stranger? But he does know that the experience did not feel like either ordinary dreaming or conscious invention. It felt less like making something up than remembering something that had already happened. And that left him with questions he still thinks about: Is the conscious mind always where a story begins? Or is it sometimes where something already formed finally rises into awareness? Maher is available for interviews or podcast conversations diving deeper into these questions and exploring: Why he resists calling the experience a dream What the experience suggests about consciousness and where experience begins What it suggests about creativity and where stories come from How he holds open multiple explanations — anesthesia, seizure activity, imagination, or something stranger — without claiming certainty Why it's important to pay attention to the strange material that surfaces when conscious control loosens Why the mystery may be more valuable than the explanation Barry's bio is below. Would you be interested in speaking with Barry or receiving a copy of his book? ABOUT BARRY MAHER Barry Maher (www.BarryMaher.com) is the product of four years at the University of Notre Dame, an hour and a half in the graduate journalism program at UC Berkeley, and five befuddled weeks at the Whopper College of the Burger King Corp. In his misspent youth, his articles appeared in perhaps a hundred different publications and, in order to eat, he held nearly that many different jobs. Sometimes he lived on the beach. Not in a house on the beach. On the beach. With the sand and the seagulls. Then he started telling his stories to audiences. More importantly, he started telling his stories to audiences and charging. That took him all over the country and around the world, with a client list that is a Who's Who of leading corporations, associations, and cruise lines. You may have seen Barry on The Today Show or CNBC, or in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, or in his own Slightly Off-Kilter syndicated column. On the downside, he's also been incarcerated twice: once for not making a left-hand turn out of a left-hand turn lane, and once for aiding and abetting a loiterer. He's deeply repentant.

When companies view workforce payroll strictly as an expense rather than an appreciating financial asset, they trigger a compounding cycle of organizational drift that silently destroys enterprise value. In this episode of Behind the Numbers, host Dave Bookbinder sits down with Dr. Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer, executive coach, human capital strategist, and author of Human Capital Investment Strategy and Now, Near, Next. Together, they unpack how subtle misalignments between strategy and workforce execution quietly bleed cash flow through high turnover, lost productivity, and stalled mid-career talent. Cynthia explains her foundational framework, The Law of Drift, and makes a compelling business case for why short-term head-count cuts frequently undermine long-term market valuation. The conversation reframes traditional workforce planning through the lens of portfolio management, applying risk stratification, performance metrics, and validated psychometrics directly to talent allocation. Cynthia shares actionable strategies for measuring organizational culture, overcoming gendered promotion barriers, and building real succession readiness across critical executive roles. Leaders will gain a clear roadmap for running structured quarterly human capital reviews, aligning talent directly with business performance, and taking immediate action to eliminate drift across their teams. Stop managing human capital as an overhead cost and start building a high-performing workforce that compounds enterprise value over time. About Our Guest: Dr. Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer is a human capital strategist, board-certified executive coach, and international keynote speaker with over 30 years of C-suite leadership experience. Grounded in the conviction that human capital is an appreciating asset, she helps CEOs, executive teams, and boards translate talent strategy into business metrics like risk, return, and compounding value. Cynthia is the creator of The Law of Drift and The Discipline of Direction™, frameworks designed to help high-performing leaders and organizations replace passive drift with intentional alignment. She is the author of Human Capital Investment Strategy and the USA Today bestseller Now, Near, Next, as well as host of the podcast Climbing the Corporate Ladder Without Breaking a Heel. Beyond her advisory work, she serves on non-profit boards dedicated to empowering underserved communities, including Dreams to Reality and AbleLight.

What does it actually mean to care for someone without carrying them and without abandoning yourself in the process?In this second conversation with Dr. Tony Nader, we explore the difference between caring from a grounded, conscious place and caring from obligation, guilt, fear, or the roles we've learned to play.Dr. Tony Nader is a medical doctor, neuroscientist, international scholar, and New York Times bestselling author whose work bridges modern science with timeless Vedic wisdom. He trained at Harvard University and earned his PhD in neuroscience from MIT, with additional training in internal medicine, psychiatry, and neurology.He previously served as assistant director of clinical research at MIT and as a clinical and research fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. His research has been published in Neurology, the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, Progress in Brain Research, and other scientific journals.Today, Dr. Nader is the successor to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and leads the Transcendental Meditation organizations globally. He has taught and spoken at institutions including Stanford University, Harvard Business School, and the British Parliament. His newest book, The Power of Caring: Who Cares, Why It Matters, and How Conscious Caring Creates a Fulfilling and Connected Life, is a USA Today and Los Angeles Times bestseller.In this conversation, we explore:The difference between caring and carrying and why caring from obligation, anxiety, or performance can leave you depletedWhy setting a boundary or choosing yourself can create such a strong physiological response, especially when belonging has historically required you to put yourself asideHow to distinguish genuine care from the roles, expectations, and “shoulds” you've learned to carryWhy you can know you made the right choice and still experience guilt and how to keep guilt from controlling what you do nextWhy giving can feel so much easier than receiving, and how to begin feeling safe enough to let care come toward youWe also explore forgiveness, why forgiving someone doesn't require giving them access to hurt you again, and what it looks like to move out of the role of carrying everything for everyone.This conversation isn't about caring less.It's about learning to care deeply while remaining connected to yourself because you can love people, support people, and show up for the relationships that matter to you without abandoning yourself along the way.Listen to our first conversation here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/217-unlock-your-truth-dr-tony-nader-on-consciousness/id1627787362?i=1000714332773Connect with Dr. Tony Nader:website: https://drtonynader.com/ Amazon book link for NYT Bestseller: https://www.amazon.com/One-Unbounded-Ocean-Consciousness-Questions/dp/1401976506/ref=asc_df_1401976506?mcid=94cf53bd6f033b8498d19e6e46713e12&hvocijid=2275902229455882049-1401976506-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=721245378154&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2275902229455882049&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005903&hvtargid=pla-2281435178578&psc=1Connect with KellyLearn more about Kelly's 12-week private Self-Loyalty Mentorship here: ⁠⁠⁠https://drkellykessler.com/selfloyaltymentorship⁠⁠⁠Self-Abandonment AuditA free resource to help you recognize where you may be overriding your own needs, emotions, boundaries, or inner knowing and begin identifying the patterns keeping you stuck.⁠⁠⁠https://drkellykessler.com/selfaudit⁠⁠⁠Milk and Butterflies: Get free shipping on your order with this link:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://milkandbutterflies.com/discount/DRKELLY⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Sunday-night dread, chronic headaches, and sleeping too much or too little are signals that something is out of alignment.•     Drift hides in five areas: your physical and mental health, your relationships, your finances, your potential, and your purpose.•     Drift shows up most in type-A achievers, because we're not quitters. We muddle through until we slam into something.•     There are three patterns: complacency (not paying attention), avoidance (knowing and not dealing), and incremental drift (one-off moments that are actually a pattern).•     Nobody is truly stuck. Time keeps moving, and the drifting years don't come back.•     Organizations drift too.

Nebraska still has a lot of the season left, but 2026 is already starting to look very different for the Huskers.  For the first time since 2016, Nebraska went unbeaten in September. The Huskers improved to 4-0 last Saturday with a 31-13 win at Michigan State. It's also the first time since 2019 that Nebraska won its Big 10 Conference opener. It may not seem like much, but for a fan base looking for a return to relevance, it's a big deal.  On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, presented by Strategic Solutions Sanitation, former Husker Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice dive into the win over the Spartans and look ahead to what is possible for Nebraska as the season moves along. Does this team have a ceiling? The Huskers forced three turnovers against Michigan State. Those takeaways were a big reason the scoreboard made the game look like a blowout. But it also sparked a deep conversation on turnovers. Dr. Rob breaks down the difference between a takeaway and a giveaway. Most fans, even media members, see turnovers as just that: turnovers. But Dr. Rob, being the philosophical man that he is, says there is a huge difference. In addition to forcing three turnovers, the Nebraska defense recorded six sacks against the Spartans for a 50-yard loss. Michigan State was held to a net 39 yards rushing. Both Dr. Rob and Travis expect the Huskers to improve to 5-0 on Saturday when they play Maryland at home. Maryland got beat at home last week, 54-3 by UCLA. The Terrapins turned the ball over five times, including four interceptions. Their Head Coach, Mike Locksley, is on the hot seat. Locksley is 39-51 as Maryland's Head Coach, including a 17-49 Big Ten Record. One reason he hasn't been fired yet is that he still has $20 million remaining on his contract, which runs through 2028, but he'd be owed only $9.2 million if they fire him before December 31, according to USA Today.  If you like this podcast, please support  our sponsors who make this all possible: Strategic Solutions The food safety and contract sanitation experts built by industry veterans.

What happens to your credibility when you say you're going to do something and then don't follow through? It doesn't always look like a major betrayal. Sometimes it's the small promises, the casual "we should have lunch," the email you said you'd send, or the commitment you made without even realizing the other person heard it as a promise. Over time, those little gaps between what we say and what we do can shape how people experience us as leaders, partners, and business owners. In Episode 510 of Amplify Your Success, I'm joined by bestselling author, keynote speaker, leadership coach, and founder of the Extreme Leadership Institute, Steve Farber, for a conversation about the deeper meaning of keeping your word and why credibility is one of the most powerful forms of leadership currency. Steve's new book, The Radical Promise, brings this idea to life in a way that goes far beyond simply following through on a list of commitments. We talk about what it means to actually live in alignment with the values, principles, and standards we say are important, and why the gap between what we say and what we do can have such a profound impact on the people around us. We also get into the commitments we make without even realizing we're making them, the patterns that can cause us to overpromise, and what changes when we become more intentional about the words we use. And toward the end of our conversation, Steve gives us a simple one-week practice that can help us pay much closer attention to what we're saying, what we're committing to, and where we may have opportunities to strengthen our own credibility.   Key Takeaways: [00:03:09] Consistently doing what you say you will do is surprisingly rare, and the gaps between our words and actions can significantly affect how others perceive us. [00:05:39] Credibility is built through behavior, and great leadership requires us to actually live out the values and priorities we say are important. [00:10:35] Holding yourself 100% accountable to your own words can strengthen your effectiveness, reputation, relationships, and credibility. [00:13:22] Leaders earn the credibility to ask for accountability from others when they first establish that standard for themselves. [00:15:03] Doing what you say you will do goes beyond following through on promises and commitments to acting in ways that are congruent with your values. [00:19:02] Casual statements can become implied commitments, making self-awareness and intentional communication essential to protecting trust and credibility. [00:23:17] Identifying your personal patterns around overpromising, saying yes too easily, or failing to follow through can reveal where your own "say and do" gaps exist. [00:29:18] Following through on commitments to yourself, even after the original motivation fades, can create a positive feedback loop that strengthens your relationship with your own word. [00:32:21] Self-awareness, clear communication, and choosing to see commitments as opportunities can help create greater consistency between what you say and what you do. [00:41:44] Tracking both your explicit commitments and implied promises for one week can reveal patterns and help you become more intentional about the words you speak and the commitments you make.   About The Guest:  Steve Farber is a bestselling author, sought-after keynote speaker, and seasoned leadership coach and consultant who has worked with a vast array of public and private organizations across virtually every industry. He is the founder and CEO of The Extreme Leadership Institute, whose team has helped more than 25 companies earn a place on Best Places to Work lists. Farber is the author of six acclaimed books on leadership. His first, The Radical Leap, earned Fast Company's Readers' Choice Award and was named one of the 100 Best Business Books of All Time.

# Confronting the Willful Blind Spot in Maternal Care> A deep dive into the disconnect in hospital leadership and patient care.In this episode of the Critical Care Obstetrics Podcast, Stephanie Martin and Suzanne Baird tackle a crucial yet often overlooked issue in maternal care: the disconnect between hospital leadership and bedside realities. As they discuss the phenomenon they term the "willful blind spot," they highlight the frustrations felt by those at the front lines of care and explore the reasons behind the lack of action from administration.## The Willful Blind SpotStephanie opens the conversation by addressing a pressing concern: why does it seem that hospital leadership often turns a blind eye to the critical issues faced by clinicians? She notes that while those working directly with patients are acutely aware of the problems, solutions often remain elusive. > "Everybody's afraid of the lawsuit," says Suzanne. This fear creates a culture where leadership hesitates to make necessary changes, fearing that doing so might be seen as an admission of guilt. Instead, they wait until lawsuits are resolved, leaving vulnerable patients at risk in the meantime.The podcast reflects on a significant 2018 **USA Today** article by Alison Young, titled "Hospitals Know How to Protect Mothers. They Just Aren't Doing It." This piece resonated with both hosts, highlighting that despite knowing how to improve care, systemic inertia continues to hinder progress.## The Role of SilosA recurring theme in their discussion is the damaging effects of silos within healthcare systems. Clinicians often operate in isolation, unaware of ongoing lawsuits or changes being discussed at higher levels. This disconnection not only affects care but also contributes to a culture where learning from past mistakes is stymied.Stephanie emphasizes that "being present physically and doing a lot of things doesn't necessarily mean that you provided standard of care or even good care."  This highlights the need for an integrated approach where feedback from frontline workers is actively sought and acted upon.## Financial Constraints as a BarrierFinancial considerations also play a pivotal role in the decisions made by hospital administrations. As Stephanie points out, obstetric services are not typically profit centers for hospitals. This leads to a reluctance to invest in necessary training or changes that could enhance safety, as budget constraints take precedence. > "The OB service line doesn't have a budget for that. Yet you've got the hospital as a whole is highly profitable," she remarks, pointing to the disparity in resource allocation.## Moving ForwardThe episode concludes with a call to action for both clinicians and hospital administrators to acknowledge these challenges and work collaboratively towards solutions. As Suzanne notes, "we have opportunities to improve"—and recognizing the issues is the first step in creating a safer environment for mothers and their babies.This conversation is a crucial reminder that change is possible when we confront the willful blind spots in our systems. For more insights and discussions, tune into the full episode and join the conversation about improving maternal health care.The experts at Clinical Concepts in Obstetrics pool their decades of experience caring for critically ill pregnant women to discuss the challenges encountered in caring for these vulnerable women.Dr Stephanie Martin is the Medical Director for Clinical Concepts in Obstetrics and a Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist with expertise in critical care obstetrics.Suzanne McMurtry Baird, DNP, RN is the Nursing Director for  Clinical Concepts in Obstetrics with many years of experience caring for critically ill pregnant women.Julie Arafeh, RN, MS is the Simulation Director for Clinical Concepts in Obstetrics and a leading expert in simulation.Critical Care Obstetrics Academy: https://www.clinicalconceptsinob.com/Follow us:Patreon: patreon.com/CCOBYouTube: @CriticalCareOBPodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/criticalcareob/Dr Martin's LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/stephanie-martin-65b07112aCCOB LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/clinical-concepts-in-obstetrics/Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/OBCriticalCareCCOB Facebook: ...

What happens when working harder is no longer enough to grow your business?On this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Shemaiah Reed sits down with entrepreneur, business growth strategist, and author Jim Fitzgerald for a conversation about breaking through business plateaus, becoming a stronger leader, and building systems that allow a company to grow without everything depending on the owner.Jim brings more than three decades of entrepreneurial experience to the conversation. He built Taradel from a one-man operation into a national direct-mail and digital-marketing company serving more than 25,000 small-business customers and generating $30 million in revenue before its sale. He later founded Fitzgerald Growth Partners, helping business owners identify the real constraints holding their companies back and create structures designed for intentional, sustainable growth.Jim is also the author of The Million Dollar Hurdle, a USA TODAY bestselling book that distills more than 35 years of business-building experience into a practical framework for moving beyond effort, chaos, and chance.In this conversation, Jim and Shemaiah explore why growth problems are often structure problems rather than motivation problems, why leadership can be learned, how clarity reduces friction inside a company, and what entrepreneurs must change when the habits that helped them start a business are no longer enough to scale it.This episode is for entrepreneurs, founders, leaders, and anyone trying to build something meaningful without becoming the bottleneck inside their own vision.https://fitzgeraldgrowthpartners.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time.

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My guest: Danny Meyer is the founder of Union Square Hospitality Group and one of the most influential restaurateurs of his generation. He built New York landmarks like Union Square Cafe and Gramercy Tavern, and Shake Shack... He's the author of the classic Setting the Table and the new What Could Possibly Go Right? Key Learnings "Business, like life, is all about how you make people feel. It's that simple and it's that hard." "Optimists and pessimists die the same way. They just live differently." Shimon Peres. Danny prefers to live as an optimist. Most people respond to hope. A few will come out of a dark closet hopping on a pogo stick and a few will walk on the shady side no matter what. Most people start the day intending to make it better than yesterday, and they'll follow someone who shows them how that could happen. A growing business needs funding and leadership. It also needs soil. Like a plant needs sun and water and still needs something to grow in. The soil is the culture, and it determines whether anything you plant actually grows. Be explicit about which behaviors you celebrate and which you won't tolerate. Then be relentlessly consistent about both. That's how culture survives you not being in the room. Everyone is watching who gets hired, promoted, and paid. Every time you compromise on either the skills or the character, you send a message that you didn't mean any of the words. Probably unwittingly, but you send it. Curiosity is the behavior Danny celebrates most. If you want a team that treats every day as a chance to be better than yesterday, someone has to actually wonder what could be done differently. Entrepreneurs are upsighted. Danny's word. They only see what's up, only see what could possibly go right, and they look at existing problems that would make the world better if solved. A bad salesperson answers questions you never asked. Danny remembers a shoe store that hauled out everything from the back room regardless of what he wanted. The only two questions that mattered were does it fit and do I like it. A great one gets into your shoes and asks what you'd want. Sometimes they help you get to the question you actually have. There's no job that doesn't benefit from good sales skills, and good writing skills. Entrepreneurial athleticism is the trait Danny looks for in every leader. Talent gets you in the door. Athleticism is dedicating yourself to train plus the mental and emotional mettle to find a way to win. Day one mentality. The day a restaurant opens, nothing is scratched, every door works, nothing is smudged, and you assume everyone might be a critic. Day one of year 10 should be better than the original, because you have ten years of learning. Without that, it only goes backwards. The hiring formula is 49 and 51. Forty-nine percent is how well he thinks you can do the job, which is mostly technical and different for every role. Fifty-one percent is who you are. That 51 percent is Hospitality Quotient. The composite of optimistic warmth, curious intelligence, determined work ethic, empathy, self-awareness, and integrity. Someone with a high HQ is happier themselves when they make someone else feel better. "Cooking a great piece of fish only gets you to the 49-yard line." You need all 100, and it isn't just the servers who need it. It's everybody. A high HQ is a liability in an interview. Danny sometimes has to park his own at the door, because his job isn't to make the candidate feel good. It's to assess how they'll make the staff and the guests feel. Never ask if someone is self-aware. They'll say yes. Ask instead: "What's the greatest misperception other people have about you?" You can't answer it without self-awareness, because you have to know both what you are and what you're projecting. When hiring a chef, Danny already knows they can cook. What he's testing is the feedback loop. Will they get defensive? Grateful? He may well be wrong in the feedback, and he still wants to know early what it's going to be like to lead this person. Caitlin took a reservation and saved a woman's life. She was getting a phone number when the caller's voice started halting. Caitlin sensed something was wrong, asked permission to call 911, and got the address. It was a hemorrhagic stroke. The woman survived and had to relearn how to speak. Caitlin was so moved that she went back to school to become a speech therapist for people with aphasia. When the woman died recently, she left Caitlin the money to pay for it. A good employee books the table accurately. A great one changes someone's night, or their life. Danny's point about Caitlin: nobody trained her for that. The culture did. Mind share is what marketing earns. Heart share is what hospitality earns. Mind share means people know you exist and think of you first. Heart share means they love you and tell everyone they know. The golden rule of hospitality is not the golden rule. Do unto others as you believe they would want done unto them. Service is one size fits all. Hospitality is one size fits one. The salmon that changed everything. Soon after Gramercy Tavern opened, a Union Square Cafe regular told Danny what happened was inexcusable. Her salmon came well done when she'd ordered it rare. Danny's first reaction was that an honest kitchen mistake didn't seem so bad. The mistake wasn't the problem. The response was. At Union Square Cafe, she said, the server would have noticed, quietly removed it, brought soup so her guests could keep eating, recooked it properly, and probably taken it off the bill. At Gramercy, nobody came over while she picked at it. A manager eventually took the plate, handed her a coat check, told her the rest would be waiting at the door, and left it on the bill. "If you don't have language, you cannot teach." For ten years Danny led one restaurant by embodying the behavior he wanted. With two, wherever he was, he wasn't at the other one. It was the first time he had to lead by using his words instead of just embodying what he wanted to see. Enlightened hospitality, in this order: Each other first. How the team treats each other, with generosity and charitable assumption. Then the guests. Then the community and the suppliers. Then the investors, who end up with more because of everything above. Break it anywhere, starting with how people care for each other, and it doesn't work. Lead with generosity. You're in business for tomorrow dollars, not today dollars. His staff charged that woman for the salmon because they were afraid she was working an angle. Danny's response: where is the charitable assumption that maybe we just overcooked it? Nice and kind are different. Nice isn't a bad thing, but sometimes nice is how you avoid addressing a problem. Kind means I'm on your side, which sometimes means holding up the mirror. If someone isn't measuring up and you let it go, that isn't kind and it isn't even nice. Kindness takes the courage to give honest feedback without demoralizing the person. Laying people off during the pandemic wasn't nice. Doing it one at a time was kind. Several hundred people, and nobody got laid off by tweet or mass email. Everyone was spoken to by their own boss. Shake Shack started because Danny asked what could possibly go right. An artist needed someone to run a hot dog cart under an installation in Madison Square Park. His team said they were too busy running four restaurants. Danny's argument was that the park was the front yard of two of them, and you take care of your front yard. They staffed it with their coat checkers and served Chicago-style on purpose. The coat checkers had no work until the weather turned cold, so this gave them a summer job. Chicago-style has eight toppings, which let them find out whether four coat checkers could remember how every regular liked it. The point was proving hospitality isn't only for fancy restaurants. They lost money two years running, and the community started calling it "our hot dog cart." Danny heard the word "our" and knew people felt shared ownership. Then he gave away the building. He built a $750,000 kiosk and donated it to the park, so the park owns the building and his company owns the business. A percentage of every sale goes back into keeping the park beautiful and safe. That first Shake Shack still pays just under a million dollars a year in rent to the park. Danny's champagne moment a year from now: that the book actually meant something to people. He wrote it to teach himself, because that's how he learns. If the lessons he picked up scraping his knees turn out to be useful to someone else, it was worth it. Reflection Questions Which behaviors does your team know for certain you celebrate, and which do they know you won't tolerate? If you asked five of them, would you get the same five answers? Look at your last promotion. Did that person clear the bar on both the 49 and the 51? What did everyone else learn from watching it? Where are you being nice right now when the situation calls for you to hold up the mirror?

Live from FinCon, Joe sits down with historian and bestselling author Joseph Moore, Paula Pant, and Jesse Cramer to talk about what's actually keeping people up at night: AI concentration in the stock market, inflation anxiety that won't fully fade, interest rates that feel "stuck," and a housing market that seems rigged against newcomers. The twist is that almost none of it is new. From a Scottish con man's fake country bonds to the 1830s stock that was over 30% of the entire market, to a refrigerator boom that happened during the Great Depression, this conversation uses 300 years of financial history to put today's anxieties in real perspective.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy "this time is different" has been true in every single era of financial history, and why that's actually reassuring, not alarmingThe real reason today's AI-heavy stock market concentration isn't as extreme as people fear, compared to genuine historical outliersWhy equal-weighted index funds tend to underperform market-weighted ones, and what that reveals about betting against your own winnersA fascinating historical parallel between AI infrastructure spending today and the railroad boom of the 1800s, and where that comparison breaks downWhy the fastest way to build real wealth during a technological boom is often working in the industry, not investing in itHow the "golden handcuffs" of low mortgage rates are quietly fueling a broader sense of economic pessimism, even during a strong economyWhy increasing your income is one of the few truly controllable levers in your financial life, and why it usually takes longer than people expectWhy This Matters NowEvery generation convinces itself that its economic moment is uniquely unprecedented, uniquely uncertain, uniquely dangerous. History suggests otherwise: markets concentrate around a handful of winners, technology booms take decades to actually change daily life, and financial anxiety tends to track personal experience more than actual data. None of that means today's concerns aren't real. It means the emotional weight of "this has never happened before" is usually misplaced, and understanding that can be the difference between panicking through a normal cycle and staying invested through one.Resources MentionedHow to Get Rich in American History by Joseph Moore — Joseph's USA Today bestselling book on 300 years of financial advice, what worked and what didn'tAfford Anything podcast — Paula Pant's showPersonal Finance for Long-Term Investors podcast — Jesse Cramer's showMen Go To Mars — sponsor mentioned in the episodeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 25, 2026 is: tactile • TAK-tul • adjective Tactile typically describes something, such as a sensation or experience, relating to the sense of touch. It can also be used specifically to describe something that is perceptible by touch. // With the introduction of haptics to smartphones, receiving a call from a friend became a much more tactile experience. See the entry > Examples: “Streaming music services are great and their recommendation engines will serve up endless new tracks for listening. But vinyl records have a tactile appeal.” — Mike Snider, USA Today, 17 Apr. 2026 Did you know? Tactile has many relatives in English, from the sometimes-synonymous tangible to familiar words like intact, tact, tangent, contingent, and even entire. All of these can be traced back to the Latin verb tangere, meaning “to touch.” Tactile was adopted by English speakers in the early 1600s (possibly by way of the French tactile) from the Latin adjective tactilis (“tangible”). In light of tactile having tangere for a touchstone, its dual senses of “perceptible by touch” and “of, relating to, or being the sense of touch” are perfectly sensible. Since the advent of film, television, and touchscreens, a new sense also appears to be developing, as tactile is increasingly used to suggest that something visual is particularly evocative or suggestive of a certain texture.

EVEN MORE about this episode!Dave Asprey spent decades biohacking his body and brain—but one of his most profound experiences had nothing to do with living longer. He says he encountered God. Now he joins Julie Ryan to explore what biohacking taught him about consciousness, trauma, energy, intuition, death, and the nature of reality itself.Dave, the founder of Bulletproof and a pioneer of the modern biohacking movement, explains why he believes longevity and consciousness are deeply connected—and why his own journey took him from being a self-described skeptic to exploring meditation, neurofeedback, altered states, energy work, and spirituality.Dave shares the experience he describes as meeting God at a Joe Dispenza event and explains how it affected his understanding of consciousness. Julie and Dave also tackle one of humanity's biggest questions: What happens when we die? Dave shares his views on death as a change of state, biocentrism, time, space, past lives, and whether consciousness extends beyond the physical body.They also explore the connection between unresolved trauma and the body, including Dave's experiences using forgiveness practices and energy techniques, along with his provocative “Five F's” framework for understanding some of our most primal reactions.Then things get even stranger.Dave recounts experiments involving intention and AI, his experiences with energy work and psychic self-protection, and why he believes intuition can be understood as an altered state of consciousness.You'll also hear how Dave went from a sick, 300-pound skeptic to one of the world's best-known voices in biohacking; why his journey began on a sacred mountain in Tibet; what decades of neurofeedback taught him about the mind; and why optimizing the body may ultimately be about something much bigger than simply living longer.Julie and Dave also discuss ketones, sugar, coffee, meditation, emotional triggers, the mind-body connection, and the possibility that some of what we call fear may originate from ancient biological survival systems operating beneath conscious awareness.Can consciousness be trained? Can trauma become embedded in our physical experience? What actually happens when we die? And what happens when someone obsessed with optimizing the human body begins exploring what might exist beyond it?This conversation goes far beyond biohacking.Guest Biography:Dave Asprey is a longevity expert, four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee and The Bulletproof Diet, and a leading pioneer of the biohacking movement. After transforming his own health by losing more than 100 pounds and improving his cognitive performance, Dave dedicated his career to helping others optimize their health, performance, and longevity, helping popularize innovations including MCT oil and collagen protein along the way. He hosts the top-ranked The Human Upgrade podcast and is the author of the USA Today bestseller Heavily Meditated: The Fast Path to Remove Your Triggers, Dissolve Stress, and Activate Inner Peace. Dave also runs the 40 Years of Zen neurofeedback program, the BEYOND Biohacking Conference, a regenerative agriculture farm, and ventures including Danger Coffee and Upgrade Labs, while investing in innovative health and longevity companies and continuing to develop accessible tools for improving human performance and well-being.Episode Chapters:(0:00:00) Welcome & Meet Dave Asprey(0:01:57) The Spiritual Origin of the Biohacking Movement(0:04:10) How a 300-Pound Skeptic Became a Spiritual Seeker(0:08:28) Can Consciousness Influence Your Biology?(0:11:04) The Energy Healing Dave Says Changed Her Life(0:14:38) Can Human Intention Influence AI?(0:18:22) Psychic Influence, Energy & Spiritual Protection(0:24:48) Can Trauma Get Trapped in the Body?(0:28:13) The 5 Primal Drives Controlling Your Reactions(0:34:06) What Happened When Julie Finally Quit Sugar(0:40:09) Is Intuition an Altered State of Consciousness?(0:47:29) Can You Train Your Brain to Stop Being Triggered?(0:52:58) Dave Asprey Says He Met God—Here's What Happened(0:59:31) Coffee, Mold & the Surprising History of Consciousness(1:05:05) Why Fear May Not Be Coming From Your Conscious Mind
