Episode 06: Luke Storey - The Life Stylist   This episode of the podast features an all new interview with Luke Storey; podcaster, human optimization expert and wellness coach. We dive into many layers of mutual intersections around addiction, recovery, psychedelics and reinvention. Luke's story and approach to using psychedelics as a wisdom tool and growth agent is one worth paying attention too.    Also, Zach Leary's new book 'Your Extraordinary Mind: Psychedelics in the 21st Century and How to Use Them' is out now and available whereever books are sold!   NOTE - The Psychedelics Then and Now Podcast is also available on YouTube @zachleary108   About Luke Storey   Luke experienced significant neglect and abuse as a young child. In his pre-teen years, he turned to drugs and crime to escape his emotional turmoil. After a burglary arrest at 14, he was sentenced to a two-year wilderness reform school for troubled teens. Unaided by this intervention, Luke soon returned to addiction, having failed to heal his underlying issues.   At age 19, Luke moved to Hollywood, CA, to pursue his dreams as a musician. But carrying forward unresolved childhood trauma, he soon found himself lost in the city's shadows, addicted to alcohol, heroin, and crack. Mental, emotional, and physical illness were familiar companions as his life spiraled toward oblivion. Thankfully, his desperation inspired an interest in Eastern mysticism and alternative medicine, which later became integral to his redemption.   One evening, during a harrowing psilocybin mushroom trip, Luke was confronted by this hopelessness of his situation. Unable to avoid the harsh reality of his predicament, he subsequently entered a drug treatment center at the age of 26. Humbled by 15 years in the bondage of addiction, Luke willingly embraced the 12-Step approach to recovery. There he discovered the transformative power of spiritual principles and prayer. This process of surrender facilitated a spiritual awakening that forever changed the course of his life.   Inspired by this newfound freedom, Luke began channeling his passion for escapism into pursuing spiritual wisdom and higher states of consciousness. Through his reawakening, he became deeply committed to understanding the healing process and helping others overcome their limitations.

Too many teams are building AI applications without truly understanding why their models fail. Instead of jumping straight to LLM evaluations, dashboards, or vibe checks, how do you actually fix a broken AI app? In this episode, Hugo speaks with Hamel Husain, longtime ML engineer, open-source contributor, and consultant, about why debugging generative AI systems starts with looking at your data. In this episode, we dive into: Why “look at your data” is the best debugging advice no one follows. How spreadsheet-based error analysis can uncover failure modes faster than complex dashboards. The role of synthetic data in bootstrapping evaluation. When to trust LLM judges—and when they're misleading. Why most AI dashboards measuring truthfulness, helpfulness, and conciseness are often a waste of time. If you're building AI-powered applications, this episode will change how you approach debugging, iteration, and improving model performance in production.

Google NotebookLM AI discussion of this Matterport Blog Post (6 December 2024): BIM vs. CAD: When to Use Them for Maximum Effect https://matterport.com/blog/bim-vs-cad ---- The article compares Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD), highlighting their distinct applications in construction. BIM excels in creating data-rich 3D models for collaborative project management across a building's lifecycle, while CAD focuses on precise 2D and 3D drafting for detailed design elements. The text emphasizes that both are valuable tools, with BIM ideal for holistic project oversight and CAD best suited for specific component detailing. Successful projects often integrate both systems, leveraging their complementary strengths for optimal efficiency. A case study showcases how using Matterport's digital twin technology significantly reduced the cost and time associated with BIM file creation.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, we dive into the journey of promotion within the ranks of law enforcement (Amazon Affiliate) and other first responder professions. Knowing when and how to take the next step in your career can be challenging, especially in a field that demands leadership, experience, and dedication. We discuss the qualities that make a successful leader, how to determine the right time for a promotion, and what to expect during the process. Additionally, we provide practical strategies to help you prepare for promotion, handle setbacks, and navigate the pressures of moving up the ranks with integrity and confidence. Assessing When It's the Right Time to Seek a Promotion: Deciding when to go for a promotion isn't always clear-cut. We'll discuss the key factors to consider when evaluating whether you're ready to take on a higher role, including experience, skill level, personal goals, and the needs of the department. Five Practical Ways to Prepare for Promotion and Handle the Process: Develop and Demonstrate Leadership Qualities: Promotions often require strong leadership skills. Focus on honing your communication, decision-making, and problem-solving abilities. Volunteer for leadership opportunities within your current role, such as training new recruits or leading special projects. Seek Mentorship and Guidance from Superiors: Find a mentor who has successfully navigated the promotion process and can offer valuable advice. Ask for feedback from your supervisors to identify areas of improvement and gain insights into what it takes to be a successful leader. Invest in Professional Development and Continuing Education: Take advantage of training programs, workshops, and educational opportunities that enhance your skills and knowledge. This shows your commitment to growth and prepares you for the added responsibilities that come with a higher rank. Build a Reputation for Integrity and Reliability: Demonstrate that you are dependable and can be trusted to make the right decisions, even in challenging situations. Consistently performing your duties with integrity and professionalism will help you stand out when the time for promotion comes. Prepare for Potential Setbacks and Use Them as Learning Opportunities: Not every promotion attempt will be successful. We'll discuss how to handle setbacks with resilience, how to seek constructive feedback, and how to use any setbacks as opportunities to grow and refine your skills for future promotion attempts. What Qualities Make a Successful Leader in Law Enforcement: We'll break down the qualities that are essential for leadership in the first responder community, including adaptability, humility, integrity, accountability, and emotional intelligence. Understanding these traits can guide you in building a leadership style that resonates with your team. What to Expect During the Promotion Process: The promotion process can vary by department, but we'll provide a general overview of what to expect, including written exams, interviews, assessments, and skills evaluations. Knowing what's involved can help you better prepare and reduce anxiety during the process. How to Balance Confidence with Humility: Confidence is important when seeking a promotion, but humility is equally crucial. We'll discuss how to present yourself confidently without coming across as arrogant, and how to highlight your accomplishments while acknowledging areas you still wish to develop. Join us as we offer a roadmap for those considering the next step in their first responder career. Whether you're actively pursuing a promotion or just starting to think about it, this episode provides practical tips and guidance to help you navigate the process with clarity, confidence, and professionalism.     Secure your firearm with my buy one get one free affiliate code from STOPBOX http://stopboxusa.com/LEOWARRIORS All viewpoints discussed in this episode are for entertainment purposes only and are simply our opinions based off of our own experience, background and education.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Jeff Gothelf about the importance of OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) as a customer-centric goal-setting framework. Based on insights from Jeff's book Who Does What By How Much?: A Practical Guide to Customer-Centric OKRs, they explore the challenges leaders face in ensuring their teams work on the right priorities, the misconceptions surrounding OKRs, and the significance of measuring outcomes and value. Jeff emphasizes the need for organizations to focus on customer needs and behavior changes rather than just task completion. The discussion also covers how to implement OKRs effectively, starting small, and the potential for using OKRs in personal goal setting. If you've ever wondered how you and your team could better drive real value for your organization and customers, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "The true measure of the value of the thing that you deliver to your customer is measuring outcomes—meaningful changes in their behavior." "The deliverable is variable. You've got some ideas, some hypotheses about what you might make, but the measure of success is not the development and deployment of that thing—it's the behavior change." "You know you've written a good key result when it literally spells out: 'who does what by how much,' which is the name of the book." "Everyone's got a customer. The true measure of value is measuring outcomes, meaningful changes in their behavior. And that's applicable in every scenario." "It's infinitely easier for someone to just tell you what to do. Honestly, it's easier for the person telling you what to do, and for a lot of folks, they're just like 'tell me what to do, and I'll do it.'" "By the time we decide what to work on to the time that it actually comes out in the market, a lot of that consumer demand has moved on or shifted." "One of the biggest challenges is getting folks to start questioning whether the work they're doing actually solves a real problem in a meaningful way." "The incentives for a lot of teams are to produce a thing, and then they get measured, rewarded, and promoted based on that. Rarely do we ask: did anyone need that thing?" "Make them successful, respect their time, solve real problems in meaningful ways, and make it a delight to use." Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:39 Start Of Interview 01:49 Why Do People Work On The Wrong Stuff? 04:07 Why Is It Difficult To Get Alignment, Collaboration, And Strategy Focus? 05:10 How Do You Like To Introduce People To OKRs? 07:46 What Are Some Common Misconceptions About OKRs? 10:41 How Do You Define Value? 13:05 What Do You Mean By An Outcome? 17:36 How Do You Go About Starting An OKR System? 20:48 Can OKRs Work For Teams If The Overall Company Doesn't Use Them? 24:35 End Of Interview 24:55 Andy Comments After The Interview 28:07 Outtakes Learn More To learn more about this topic, check out these episodes: Episode 328, with Terry Schmidt about LogFrames.

What is a common fear of leaders in humanitarian and international development when it comes to coaching their teams? The fear of losing respect. Losing respect because their team sees them as needing to have all the answers. So if they start asking their teams what they think, then the team will question their authority. I understand the reasoning behind this concern, especially in certain cultures where leadership is more directive. But how true is it? And is it really true we need to provide our teams with answers all the time? In this episode I share how this way of thinking can limit your growth as a leader - and how to use a more balanced approach which will motivate your team and take pressure off of yourself to need to know it all.

Welcome in, Gemini Season! In this episode we dive deep we dive into Gemini season and all the exploring, chatting, talking, networking, and data collecting it offers us May 21st - June 21st 2023. Gemini season comes in like a breath of fresh air to lighten things up….just make sure all the air doesn't whisk you so far off your feet that it wooshes you away like Dorothy in the wizard of oz. Shoutout to all my Gemini natives, sun, rising, and moon. Welcome home! My dear natives, it's time to play. Gemini is Spring's last cycle.The seeds we planted in Aries, and tended to in Taurus, are either sprouting, or you're wondering if they're going to…. THAT'S OK. We are in a process of exploration. It's time to gather some more data. Sit in your feelings, check in with your to-do lists and processes….this is the cycle you decide to keep going with these seeds/project/ideas, or let go…based on the data you'll collect in the next 30 days. This is a turning point. Don't think you know, before you know. Get curious, stay curious. Let this full cycle roll through before you make decisions. This cycle, as always, offers us some distinct shifts in the astrology. A full moon in Sagittarius, Venus moves into Leo, Pluto Rx enters Capricorn, Mercury moves into Gemini, Saturn Rx, and a new moon in Gemini…the overall vibes feel more gentle than that of eclipse season…but honestly was isn't more gentle..lol…packed with transformation, plentiful with potential…but challenging to grab a hold of and get grounded if you are handfasted to your personal grounding and harmonization. And how do we do that…you know boo, through care of the self. Self care is powerful..and ridiculously magical…micro-dose your magic through your daily practices. Want a breakdown every week of the astrology at play and what self care support to use on each day? Sign up for my weekly newsletter - I'll send you what's happening in the stars and in the studio every Monday. Link below in the show notes. The Gemini mantra is I THINK Gemini is a mutable air sign it moves with the wind, Gemini is curiosity above all else. Gemini is an exalted duality. The twins of the zodiac. The talkers. Sometimes two-faced. Obsessed with gathering information… and can change on a dime. Gemini is willing to change their mind based on new information and new experiences. Gemini has the capacity to truly transmute information into wisdom and spread the truth if they can get grounded long enough to do so. They are all things communication; talking, writing, reading, messaging, likes, and re-shares. It's time to connect with others, to be open to new perspectives and insight, share the insight you've got, be willing to be wrong, or put things into play and aim for integration. But for me, your mentor, PLEASE try not to get lost in Gemini energy. Just because you hear it or you say it ...don't make it true. Gemini's true lesson in this lifetime is wisdom. To take the information it has, make a decision, have an experience with that decision - then synthesize the info and experience to generate wisdom based on all three aspects; info, decision, experience. AND MOVE ON. Gemini, a swirling expansion of limitless Air, needs some sort of container in order to exhibit its highest good in this lifetime. Gemini needs grounding, above all else. it's time to get into nature, into your vessel, to check & double check facts, DO YOUR RESEARCH, meditate, get on the mat. → embodiment practice consistency is key for Gemini sun, rising, and moon's but also - for this season…because WHY? Because the fastest way out of your head, out of overthinking, out of spiraling, and out of intrusive thoughts…is to get IN to the BODY. Gemini, air, needs a container. Think of Gemini as helium. It's just gas, potentially harmful if let loose, unless it has a container - you put a balloon and string on that thing, then it's pure magic! In imbalance, Gemini is noise, gossip, and drama shit stirring… & indecisiveness, flakey, immature, and the verbal vomit spiral that has us expending energy moving words around… giving us the facade of accomplishing something, but never getting anything done. It wastes time AND energy. Gemini in imbalance will have us gaslit with gorgeous words, thinking that all the swirling talk is productivity... when really…we spent the whole day talking/thinking the parameters of the issues and are now exhausted, and simply can't move on. And therefore stays stuck with zero implementation or progress. Gemini in imbalance is swirling air. A squall in the middle of a northern winter. It can blind us to what is true simply by being noisy. Not only can the energy be noisy…it can also be nosy…in this season…be careful to mind your own business, stay in your lane and be on the lookout for ‘helpers' who are actually driving in YOUR lane and potentially pushing you off the road. Boundaries beware in Gemini season. In Balance Gemini is enthusiastic, energetic, adaptable, clever, and intelligent. This energy generates the wise, outgoing teachers, professors & masters that will lead others into expansive, joyful, mastery of their own...when they finally move out of quick fix info consumption, memorization/regurgitation, right vs. wrong, win vs. lose navigation Into, at what cost, what is the goal, how do we solve in this one moment, what can we ground and implement to create change and manifestation? The brightest light of Gemini energy is that they will tell you they believe something one day, and tell you they believe something else the next…not out of flakiness…because they learned something new that expanded their perspective…in exaltation THIS IS WHAT GROWTH AND EXPANSION LOOK LIKE. Exalted Gemini energy IS duality. Gemini is the YES - AND….two opposite things CAN exist at the same time, and BOTH be true. It just needs to identify and root into what is true, in this moment. For me or for this issue. Focus, focus, refinement, and anchoring is the name of the gemini game. Gemini marks the season of conversations, writing, learning, educating, reading, and messaging. It can be so sweetly social and playful….it can also get newsy, noisy, gossipy, messy, dying a quick doom scrolling death….flat out exhausted. I encourage you to budget your news and social media time in this season. Set the timers, put your phone away from your bedside. Actively and on purpose tap out at a certain point in the day and do not return till the next. It is time to connect with others, to expand where you may have been stuck. It's a time to share what you've got, plant that brilliant idea - while being willing to be wrong. It's a time to put things into play but pivot with wisdom, experience & integration when you need to. This is a time of gathering data, getting curious, and getting majorly GROUNDED. Get in your body - get on the mat with me, walk, stretch, dance, lift heavy things, have sex, masturbate, slather lotion or oils on your skin. The vessel is sacred, if you're not tending to your temple, you're not tending to your magic AND this season will rattle you right out of it. Anxiety could be high this cycle. Get Grounded - spend time in nature and try to get bare hands and feet in dirt or grass. Lay on the ground, sit up against a tree. Wear or Diffuse - vetiver and patchouli - grounding essential oils Eat your root veggies. Carrots, sweet potatoes, radishes, turnips, onion, shallots….they ground us super simple. If it's getting hot where you are, slip beets or carrots in a smoothie…it works. Members - check your recipe section for recipes! Work with or wear any black or dark gray healing crystals…for grounding and protection - shade and noisy frequencies get thrown and bounce in this season. Protect yourself in all the ways. Mediate. Brain Dump - at the beginning or end of the day. Simply pour all your thoughts into a journal. Or voice notes. Don't process…just get hem out We all have Gemini in our charts somewhere. We're all working with this energy in this season, in similar yet different ways. For those who are super sensitive to air energy - it might feel like an escalation of anxiety and overthinking or intrusive thoughts. Head to your self care techniques. Get into your body any way you can. Work your journaling, use the brain dump method, jot the thoughts, schedule that extra session with your therapist. If you know you're prone to anxiety or overthinking, prep and support it. This is the reminder that you have tools. USE THEM. And if you feel like you don't have tools or need new ones, DM or message me and I can help direct you towards the new or the next that might help. Don't ignore or think it's not going to be a thing….it's a thing. The thing is now. Be a problem solver, not a problem maker. Air is the element of thought; intellect, acumen, thought process, ideas, downloads, and channeling. There is brilliance and breakthrough here. Clarity will come if we make clarity welcome. Sift sort and ground. Told you you'd get tired of hearing about the grounding. Gemini rules the torso; shoulders, lungs, arms, and hands. Think inspiration, expiration…and talking with their hands. When it comes to wellness, I *might have mentioned* earlier that Gemini needs grounding above all else. And BIG TIME. Gemini can offer expansive education but it truly amounts to nothing if it can't get its roots in the 3D - it bears repeating - the very best way to get ‘out of your head' is to get into the body. The vessel is the gateway for Gemini energy. This body, in this lifetime, can take all the swirling, twirling thoughts, concepts, understandings and bright ideas and move them forward through action. Gemini season is truly a time when our UnicornWellnessStudio mat practice shines. When we feel confused, overwhelmed, stuck in our thoughts, finding it super hard to get focused, too focused on the future, and/or brewing anxiety…GET ON THE MAT….the Unicorn Wellness mat practice sift, sorts, organizes, and offers an energetic clean sweep of our thoughts, inspiration, and ideas. The mat is our witchiest broom to clear and organize energy. When we leave the mat…it's a whole new ballgame of what we can implement, and do with our ideas and concepts. Never underestimate the power of a Unicorn Wellness workout. It's pure magic. Infused with a full energetic healing to boot. And it truly is more about our emotional, and mental magic than anything else. For members of UnicornWellnessStudio.com, in this Gemini season - they will see shoulder flossing, heart openers, a focus on breath, as well as exercises that unite right and left sides of the body (midline integration in honor of our two-faced twins) and movements on all fours, that literally connect us to the ground, plus wrist mobility and strength. Members will also work with neck stretches and strengtheners, cat/cow, puppy, mountain pose, and our modified warrior series. Variations to keep moving, slow and steady, in flow, no sudden movements..nothing silly or trendy...just straight forward, exercise science. Energetically we always tend to all seven traditional energy centers - this cycle there's a focus on the heart and throat energy centers. PLUS UWS members also have an offering in their library - in - in the Astrology section - titled Zodiac Basics: Gemini - for even more Gemini exploration ←-see what I did there lol.

Heather Grzych interviews podcaster and psychedelic expert Zach Leary about why such a high percentage of people are turning to psychedelics today to improve their wellbeing, and the importance of using these medicines with ritual and sacredness. Zach explains why your life changes after a psychedelic experience, and why integration is so important, whether you're using LSD, psilocybin from mushrooms, MDMA, ayahuasca or other natural or synthetic medicines in the psychedelic category. They discuss how the psychedelic movements actually led to modern Americans connecting with Indian sciences like yoga, meditation and Ayurveda, despite these medicines often being frowned upon in these communities. They also delve into how technology and AI is being used to recreate famous deceased teachers like Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Alan Watts, etc.  Heather Grzych is the author of The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility and the host of the Wisdom of the Body podcast. A board-certified Ayurvedic practitioner, she teaches the Regenerative Fertility Method to support future generations worldwide. Heather is on the board of directors for the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) and has been a consultant for doctors, governments, and insurance companies. She offers virtual consultations and programs worldwide. www.heathergrzych.com   Zach Leary is a podcaster,  writer, cognitive dissident, yogi and psychedelic advocate. Growing up in Beverly Hills in the 1980s, he came to realise that the man who often took him to school in the morning and “tossed the ball” in the backyard with him, was not only one of the instigators of the counterculture movement of the 1960s, but also “had a front row seat for some of the most important cultural movements of the late twentieth century.” This led Zach to create a path for himself that's been rich with many different incarnations ranging from digital marketing ace for Apple to futurist to psychedelic integration specialist and advocate. Zach currently hosts The MAPS podcast and has in depth knowledge of psychedelic assisted facilitation, is a trained meditation teacher, a student of bhakti yoga, an IFS enthusiast and expert in the history of psychedelic culture and its many methodologies. Zach is also a facilitator at the Evolution Retreat Center in Negril, Jamaica. Evolution Retreats is a beautiful retreat center that does legal psilocybin retreats using the most modern and effective methodologies available. As an author, Zach's first book “And Now, The Work Begins – Psychedelics in the 21st Century and How to Use Them” will be published by SoundsTrue in late 2023. Books referenced: Obedience to Authority by Stanley Milgram, Ayurvedic Pharmacology and Therapeutic Uses of Medicinal Plants Dravyagunavignyan by Vaidya V.M. Gogte, Be Here Now by Ram Dass, and Zach's book in development about the history and modern use of psychedelics being used safely, wisely and effectively.  Connect with Heather: Instagram.com/heathergrzych Facebook.com/grzychheather   Read the first six pages of The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility for FREE: https://www.heathergrzych.com   Connect with Heather to balance your health for your fertility: https://www.heathergrzych.com/book-online   This podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Functional cranial release drops the default mode network, just like psychedelics do. You experience this balloon inflation. There's this very calm sensation people will experience. And so there's kind of a window for people to have emotions that will come up, being able to be objective or empathetic towards those emotions. So there's a lot of utility for not just treating the brain and neurological conditions, but also with mental, emotional, spiritual applications. - Dr. John Lieurance Are You Stressed Out Lately?

"Limbic isolations are really really important because they either synchronize or asynchronize a whole wealth of pathways on the brainstems that keep us healthy and vital. And when we don't have that, it shuts it all down, so a lot of people might find they have a lot of anxiety, and there can be a lot of neurological confusion that happens with the brain." - Dr. John Lieurance   Releasing Hidden Fears "We carry a lot of fears that are based on thoughts that we believe are true like 'I'm not good enough' or 'I'm not loved.' What might be covering that up are thoughts like, 'My father doesn't respect me' or 'I'm going to be late for this appointment and they'll be made.' Those thoughts are covering up all of these hidden fears that we all carry and when you start to get into psychedelics or breathwork or even this endonasal treatment that I do, they take us back to a calm state and help us let go of those fears as they de-regulate our default mode network."- Dr. John Lieurance   Holding The Breath = Holding The Trauma "When we hold our breath, that's the veil. You have trauma, you hold your breath, it's going to push it into the subconscious. It's going to be there and it's going to control you in a way that's probably not going to be positive and create suffering." - Dr. John Lieurance   Links From Today's Show  Ultimate Cellular Reset RUNGA 436  Dr. John Lieurance | Melatonin Miracle: Supra-Physiologic Dosing, Sinus Health & Ending Inflammation 449 Hearts Wide Open | Identifying & Healing Core Wounds To Live Your Vision: Luke Storey, Cal Callahan, Dr. John Lieurance & Josh Trent Quadcast 468 Joseph Anew | Becoming an Intuitive Warrior: Developing Courage to Face Obstacles + Why Vibrant Health Starts in the Heart (RUNGA) It's All in Your Head: Endonasal Cranial Therapy by Dr. John Lieurance Melatonin: Miracle Molecule by Dr. John Lieurance Weston A.

Betsy Cerulo, Shake It Off Leadership Shake It Off Leadership-Achieving Success Through the Eyes of Our Labels Who Defines You? You or Others? Can You Choose Your Labels and Use Them to Empower Yourself and Your Business? YES! Are you ready to stop allowing others' perceptions and labels of you limit what you can accomplish? Have you had enough of the outright or subtle undermining of your career or self-esteem by the ways people “categorize” you or the way you categorize yourself? Betsy Cerulo had her fill, and so she stepped up to claim her labels and make them her fuel for greater success! And in her new book Shake It Off Leadership—Achieving Success Through the Eyes of Our Labels, she will gift you with guidance on how she did it…and how it can transform your life and your business! Betsy felt the sting of disempowering external perceptions early. Her mother made no effort to hide she favored the boys in the family over the girls, and that they could have nearly unlimited freedom, but the females had to live according to a specific standard. And then, in college, when she came out, after falling for one of her classmates, she began to experience the sting of unkind and discriminating labels. In business, as she tried to rise as a young executive search professional, she found her way blocked and her salary less simply because she was ”a woman.”  But with skill and determination, she built a hugely successful boutique professional staffing and executive search firm. AdNet/AccountNet, Advocates for Workplace Excellence and Equity. But along the way, she decided to throw off the limitations of those labels, embrace those she was proud of, and choose the labels that she wanted to define her! Betsy won't put up with “the nonsense” she hears coming out of the mouth of those who attempt to diminish women, the LGBTQ+ community, and racially diverse people. She challenges them.  Instead of suffering the insulting brand of dyke or lesbian with a sneer, she decided to make her sexuality a proud hallmark of her success, attaining the first government 8A certification based on Gender and LGBT discrimination. This allows a company to bid for government contracts with less competition. Then, she went on to co-found the Maryland LGBT Chamber of Commerce and the Maryland LGBT Foundation, building them into robust organizations that attracted many mainstream sponsors. As a woman-owned business, she fought the discrimination of banks that refused loans and found those that would treat her with respect. In this episode, she shares other resources for entrepreneurs looking to become government contractors: - The SBA and SBDC - The APTCA Betsy learned how to shake off the slights, disappointments, and roadblocks in building a successful business—not just the issues related to discrimination, but with all of the gumption, wisdom, and courage it takes to create a thriving enterprise, with quality, happy, engaged staff and curation of clients that are an asset to the business. She's discerned a style of SKAKE IT OFF LEADERSHIP, that will empower any leader with the skills, wisdom, and strength to successfully create or grow a business while insuring balance and personal fulfillment. Each chapter in Shake It Off Leadership provides lessons, new perspectives, and an enriching Shake It Off tip at the end. Betsy's personal story is woven throughout as an inspiration for those who have struggled with the labels that have disempowered them. You will find astute insights on every page. Every business can benefit from a leader who stands in her, his or their strength -- and who can spot and act on strengthening the weaknesses within themselves and their company—just as Betsy Cerulo has done.

Nonviolent communication is powerful because it has really understood some very key things about what creates a connection between people. It helps people create an environment in which what is talked about is done in a value-free, non-judgmental way. So then what is talked about is focused on what is going on in each person on a vulnerable level rather than a 'let's have a dialogue and debate' approach. Sometimes it's like an archeological dig to get to the root of why one person feels the way they do. The outcome is a bi-directional desire to be, to cooperate, to help, and it's spontaneous.  - Wayland Myers Are You Stressed Out Lately?

What Josh and Wayland would like to see from the US government especially honesty and open communication rather than just mandates. The long way we have to go yet as a species and why we're like a 13-year-old behind the wheel of a Ferrari. Why we might find ourselves being drawn to one side of politics over the other. Wayland's views on politics and why the Left and Right may have different beliefs on methodology and what we think is important but we all want a government to do what it can do for us and do it well.

[1:24:00] Living Life on Life's Own Terms The life-changing moment Wayland's father went through when his father passed away from the Spanish flu and his grandmother told him that he was now the man of the house.

The current state of the USA's democracy that is pushing people to be more resilient, use their voice and get more involved. Wayland's ideal world and how he believes we can get there together.  The call for both political parties to learn how to engage in constructive dialogue because we need both perspectives and diversity for us to learn how to enrich the value of our lives as a result of it. Why our fundamental need is not to feel safe; we just want to feel safe. How, in a heterosexual relationship, a woman can share with her male partner that she does not feel safe. Also how, in a heterosexual relationship, a man can share with her female partner that he does not feel respected. How Wayland has gotten to a place where he now trusts his inner compass completely to follow his dreams and what brings him joy. Nootopia - Save 10% at checkout with the code "JOSH10" Feeling & Knowing: Making Minds Conscious by Antonia Damasio Power Quotes From The Show How Loving Detachment Helps People Heal "Loving detachment is where we allow the other person the opportunity to encounter the natural consequences of their choices. The dignity of being autonomous and capable is so powerful. I always used to think that the concept of loving detachment sounded like abandonment but my daughter needed to encounter that consequence because it was her turning point. That was her springboard and that's the thing about hitting rock bottom, you can push off." - Wayland Myers Men vs Women's Approach to Handling Conflict "One of the things that has really helped eliminate about 9 out of 10 arguments in our home is to ask yourself, 'Are you looking for comfort or solutions?' For males such as myself, my very first impulse is to get in there and fix it but maybe your partner just needs you to listen to them. In the example of my wife, 80% of the time she just wants to be able to talk about something openly to help her work through it; she doesn't want me to give her a solution." - Wayland Myers How to "Reside in the Heart of the Giraffe" "When you have two people in a situation of being in a heightened state of emotional pain, as I call it, try to reside in the heart of the giraffe. To do this, look at the other person and say to yourself, 'They have the same set of needs for connection but the way they're going about it really isn't working.' For whatever reason, they have gotten desperate but there is a very positive vulnerability behind all of that front that they're putting up. I just hold that awareness and know that this is a good person because I know they're a good person and we're just really fumbling and stumbling because we really haven't figured out how to sort this thing. That other person may only know to take my inventory and try to shame me or something but what they're wanting is something that I know is good." - Wayland Myers Links From Today's Show  Wayland Myers Nonviolent Communication: The Basics As I Know and Use Them by Wayland Myers The Center for Nonviolent Communication Marshall Rosenberg Nootopia - Save 10% at checkout with the code "JOSH10" I Feel, Therefore I Am: Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio on Consciousness as a Full-Body Phenomenon The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin Feeling & Knowing: Making Minds Conscious by Antonia Damasio Shop the Wellness Force Media Store breathwork.io Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' Seeking Health - Save 10% with the code 'JOSH' Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Feel Free from Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40' PLUNGE - Save $150 with the code "WELLNESSFORCE' MitoZen - Save 10% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Activation Products - Save 20% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Cured Nutrition – Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes About Wayland Myers Clinical psychologist Wayland Myers extensive career extends from beginnings in mechanical engineering to the world of social studies and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the CA School of Professional Psychology in San Diego.
