Podcasts about Useless

Why Do We Keep Running Back to What God Replaced? Discussion Questions: Despite the overwhelming evidence in Scripture, why do you think so many push for a combination or balance of old covenant and new covenant? Set aside. Weak. Useless. Taken away. Cast out. Abolished the enmity. These are the expressions used to describe the old covenant. What do they say to you about your relationship with God? Explain. Died to the Law. Not under the Law. Released from the Law. Christ is the end of the Law. What do these NT expressions say to you about your relationship with Moses? Explain. How do your answers to #2 and #3 fit with "all Scripture is inspired" (2 Tim. 3:16) and the fact that the whole Bible is useful to us today? Led by the Spirit. Not mastered by sin. Serve in a new way. Bear fruit for God. How do these NT expressions respond to those who suggest we're only free from the Law for salvation but not for daily living? Is the Old Testament law written on believers' hearts? Explain. If your answer is "no", then explain what is actually written on our hearts? Also, who then is Romans 2:14-15 actually talking about? React to this statement: Many just can't imagine a way to be godly that doesn't involve the Ten Commandments.

What if peace in your life, and peace in the world, begins with the smallest shifts inside of you? In this episode, host Elizabeth Mintun weaves together two timeless folktales, the Taoist story of the Useless Tree and the Cherokee legend of the Two Wolves. Together, these stories illuminate how slowing down, regulating our inner world, and choosing compassion over urgency creates the foundation for lasting calm. Elizabeth talks about how, as we step toward a new year, many of us are craving more peace in our relationships, our homes, and in the world. She suggests that peace doesn't begin with resolutions or perfect habits. It begins within. And when we nurture it gently and consistently, it ripples outward in ways we may never fully see.Key TakeawaysInner peace is grounded self-connection.True inner peace can come from staying connected to yourself, even when life feels busy, emotional, or uncertain.What you feed internally shapes your emotional well-being. Inner peace grows from daily choices, such as where you place your attention, how you respond to stress, and which inner patterns you nurture.Rest and slowness are essential for mental and emotional health. In a productivity-driven culture, creating space, slowing down, and tending to your nervous system are necessary for sustainable peace.Resources Sign up for Intentional 2026: 3 Days to Reset & Realign here.Learn more about 1:1 Coaching with Elizabeth Mintun here.

A little over a century ago, a group of women, fed up with the overly commercial side of Christmas, formed the Society for the Prevention of Useless Giving, or SPUG. And they made a pretty big splash along the way. Plus: today in 1773, the Boston Tea Party, though it was known by a slightly wordier name in its time. Only You Can Prevent Useless Gifts (JSTOR)The Destruction of the Tea (Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum) You don't have to turn in your Spug button to back our show on Patreon, because it's very practical

There's nothing worse than receiving a gift at Christmas that you have no use for. Fortunately, the meaning and the message of Christmas is that God above has given to the world the most significant and meaningful gift possible!

Some of us are old enough to remember when the United States Senate had a vaunted reputation as the world's greatest deliberative body. Weighty issues would be debated by senators with the security of six-year terms, resistant to the political winds of the moment, and grand compromises could be achieved. Those days, of course, are gone — put on display most tellingly Thursday when a majority of 51 votes still wasn't enough to stop Republicans' plans to make Americans pay exhaustingly higher health insurance premiums, just to make a political point.

Following the emergence of COVID-19, "follow the science" became a stark ideological divide that pitted one American against another. This partisan framing weaponized the scientific method instead of letting it solve a critical public-health crisis. Is it time to abandon this unhelpful slogan and rethink our broken understanding of science?

Why would you want to disconnect from your joy, when trying to restore your sense of joy?You can't go on a T-break for pleasure. Instead, focus on the modifying the way you get your pleasure, instead of eliminating the pleasure itself. Dopamine is just one neurotransmitter responsible for our sense of pleasure + joy. We can't and shouldn't want to detox our dopamine levels. Dopamine is essential to motivating us to do everything from moving our bodies, to sleeping properly. This is why people with dopamine issues, depression, ADHD, etc. often struggle with physical and executive functioning. The problem isn't the dopamine, it's typically the source.

From motivational speaker myths to five-figure gigs: Why public speaking isn't about motivation anymore - and the brutal truth about knowledge commodification, listening as power, and the voice registers that command presidential authority. In this explosive episode of Konnected Minds, a transformative conversation dismantles the dangerous delusion keeping African entrepreneurs trapped in motivational speaking fantasies while the real money flows to subject matter experts who solve specific problems. This isn't inspirational talk from conference stages - it's a systematic breakdown of why the public speaking industry pays thousands per presentation to business technicians, innovation consultants, and futurists who deliver structured knowledge, why Tony Robbins can charge 2,200 euros and fill 9,000-seat arenas while generic motivational speakers struggle to fill rooms, and why the person who becomes the leading voice on protecting kids online will make more money than a thousand "you are amazing" speakers combined. Critical revelations include: • Why public speaking pays based on what you're speaking about - not how eloquently you speak • The knowledge asymmetry principle: when nobody knows what to do with new platforms, the person who contextualizes and teaches makes money • How to elevate above industry noise: when everyone's doing podcasts, pivot toward community building and premium content • The Blue Ocean Strategy reality: find spaces where competition is irrelevant instead of fighting in crowded markets • Why results command price - if you built a podcast from scratch to 100K subscribers, people will pay $1,000 for your masterclass • The Lamborghini principle: when your results speak, you don't need advertising - demand finds you • How mentorship is cheaper than experimentation: the money you pay an expert is far less than the money you lose trying to figure it out yourself • The listening revolution: the greatest skill in public speaking that nobody teaches is the skill of listening • Why 46 million people want to be listened to but only 4.6 million want to learn how to listen - people 10x want to be heard more than they want to hear • The four voice registers every speaker must master: whistle register (Mariah Carey), falsetto (chipmunks), head register (decisions), chest register (trust and confidence) • Why politicians with deeper voices get more votes - chest register voice exhausts trust, confidence, and authority • The daily discipline: two hours of practice in front of the mirror, two vocabulary pickups daily, Google alerts for every major topic, 30 articles consumed before bed • Why the education system focuses on reading and writing but graduates hundreds of thousands who can't speak or listen - the four fundamental pillars are read, write, speak, listen • The application crisis: people consume information over and over again but there's no transformation because there's no implementation • The execution velocity effect: when you work with people who execute fast, it ignites something in you - speed becomes contagious The conversation reaches its uncomfortable peak with a truth that destroys generic public speaking dreams: you can be eloquent, great, amazing - but has anyone flown you to 15 countries to speak? Are you a subject matter expert on anything? Does your name come up in conversations when people need knowledge distilled? Those are the things that separate paid professionals from unpaid talkers. The person who teaches parents how to protect kids online and then sells them the software, the Netflix plugins, the 24-hour monitoring systems - that person makes money. The person who says "you are amazing" to a room full of people who already know they're amazing gets polite applause and goes home broke. For the African entrepreneur, content creator, and aspiring public speaker seeking to build a legitimate speaking career that commands five-figure fees instead of begging for conference slots, this conversation offers the unfiltered blueprint: become a subject matter expert on something specific that people desperately need to understand. Master the four voice registers. Practice two hours daily in front of the mirror. Consume 30 articles nightly. Set Google alerts for your domain. Learn to listen - it's the greatest public speaking skill nobody teaches. Document your results. Sell your knowledge. And remember - the money you charge for mentorship is cheaper than the money people lose experimenting alone. That's why people pay $1,000 to learn from someone who built a podcast to 100K subscribers in a country where people complain about data. Results speak. Results command price. The only question is whether you have results worth paying for.

Who left a whole box of corn flakes In a locker At the Equinox On Wall Street? I told you go to the one at The Rock. I told you, I'm not going on that block, like at all. {Enter The Multiverse} That's just my Karma, Ms. Nancy; I did a whole lot than just Thought about it More edits, More recognition that I—l couldn't stand it; The planet just seems to get smaller and smaller With less and less plants in it; I have your pants on, But shoes didn't fit I wrote a whole book and resenting But still not the movies, I meant it. Damn. She's just so much better than I am Head in a frying pan on high beforehand, And however damaged, It felt bad I know what I did I felt that Camera Obscura, for sure, you know But disconnect, Swallow badders, wha— t?! Get my peanut butter up; Why! I'm a circus monkey; Damn. I got karma faster Than I should have known I lost episodes And threw away the whole entire show I went running long And then I threw up on the subway I only like the one Sublime album (The one with wrong way.) You know? Cuh' I went the wrong way I fucked up on all my dollars I got karma back hard, yah Got a poem or prose or song on ol' Ms. Molly, too, (or two) I fall in love inside the tube, Truth is, though Teletubbies and teleportation Ain't so far off from where I come from Problem is, Opporsite world, I'm the story of the whole show; For sure dawg. —a situational Thought process. When the crack finally kicks in, Astounding the loss of my confidence I've gotten lost in a toxic land I got syndrome “talk to much” Not on the spectrum, nor diagnosable X's and O's on the tic tac toe board, Just an underhanded “I told you so” All the rockstars want —Subtle thoughts of suicide as the train approaches? Nah, Models and the other types of girls That never work at all, They just born at it. I got bored with it, But not the fourth one, Cross my first amendment, On my heart like catholic More like Bart Simpsons, Like art magic Cause I won't watch that show But love Matt Groening— Maybe I'm the type that just Love hating But hate loving with No way to I don't hate you; Yeah you're right, I'm off Take two. ((Good Luck Riding The J Home.)) Not a gym run, a different kind of cause, I guess I got so many plausible options, I guess I should call on one of them, Toss a number up, struck the dog on mathematics I can't let my lantern out of gas, We're not friends, are we? What a fiend! Are you offended? I just want to see my dreams relayed to me— Is that too much to ask? So I'm the asshole. What did I pack a bag for?! Picnic baskets. What did I leave this curse for? Nothing, Thanks for asking, Nance. I put a pilot on the presence of a whole color— phenomenon. I swallowed all my pride and presence just for an automaton. This automation algorithm— is it? Doesn't make a difference. I spilled blood inside my kitchen, Put deposits on a flicker, Tricked the treasure at a phantom, Phantom I want more but swallowed all my high pulp orange juice on knowledge of the only one; There's only God, There's only us— There's only cause+ effect, 6 more albums, note books and a couple novels that came out of that one. Squeeze em hard, ya'll. Don't let me love God. Don't let me talk back, I'm not about a rack. Tantrum, yes. Talk to my God. Please. Talk to me God. Now. Talk to my family one time. Now. Talk out me sideways— Now. Bring me a rebel. Now. I have a headache. Now. I got regrets son. Now I got a dead son, a dead daughter a ghost cat and George Jettson, Michael Jackson and George Zimmerman, all of my tabs open: I take a tab hoping I fall asleep on the cold ocean, Calm before storm comes Out on a surfboard Look at the full moon— Nobody can hear you so SCREAM. Now. For crying out loud, Take the knife out, For a second or thought, I'm a wife now; What back handed thought or a back and on blacklist— Your back room was only your conscious— Now I'm looking at my left side, Also catatonic, Not aboard the problem like you wanted, What an order form for border patrol, You want tall glasses of hard fortune, Work hard for it, or rosemary pork on sourdough. I'm in love with you, but in poverty— There the devil is. But oh, aren't we all familiar? Suit and tie hangs to the tide, I tie the knot with rope from which I die, And quickly crafting coffins, want to walk around before I go off, Diving board or world one antenna? Not to mention it, redirect the attention and energy into something other than consumptive— Everything I do and everywhere I go, I clutch this stone Or put inside my pockets knowing if I let it go Or it falls out and to the ground Not only will I float up, But the world will open And swallow us all whole ((Down.)) I live with the knowledge of criminal visions and masterpiece compilations, but as of today I owe a bank my very and entire existence It is what it claims to be, these days ring true Nothing these days sounds like music but you. I put that book back on the shelf; Rewound the tape before I put it in the case I knew it would be late because, well That's the way it always is That's the way I always am I'm sorry mom. That's the way it always is— They told me I don't need no makeup on, However this may have only been true when I was ten to twenty two, Or twenty two, Or two whole years ago before the motorcycles stole my story. When I put the sun up in the sky, I suppose, is when I started this [that's called a God Complex] It's all behind us now, or rather All up front And out in the open In twelve point font As if I would ever cop to it I took the wrong way to Wall Street l Believe me l, i think of the tree at the rock, Long before this all was ever thought of, And I held her seed in the heart of my palm God said go the other way, I said “Okay” I want to see how much money I make; I wear makeup, I got nothing So much for a body I got stuck with words and good talking, And long vocabulary instead of the coast and a longboard So what's the cost for a whole table turn? So what's the cost for a “her—perfect.” Huh? What is the cost for some popcorn in Lorne's office? What is the cost just to cover the love boat theme song— Don't get me wrong I have original music I'm just hard getting to it; The motors are running The mirror: my mind is a murderer, murderer Engine's are purring are hurting her, hurting But I been wanting some corn on the cob To talk to my mom To call some place home To care for my son To wake up on Sunday past noon like “That was a good show.” And the next sold out . real talk, I got real problems Someone knows I'm on top of my thoughts at the rock, Choking back cocaine All the world under me, Mad at the world though For not looking up to me Huh I call this suffering Cause I already been been hungry, And homeless So I know this Pit-of-your stomach And tied to a brick at the bottom of the ocean feeling, that really Sits somewhere between “Hopeless” And “not good” But hey— If you were to say “how's your day” I answer “I'm great!” Like a positive, programmed robot or something, my mantras lately, replaced however with repetitive honest pleas of “Please help me.” Seems like— the only thing meaningful is saying this inside my Google documents; However, Seems like, It isn't worth the breathing, really Oddly, I forget to— Then I get this special feeling, Almost sentimental, inside my head I don't need medicine as much as I just need a friend besides my cat —thoughts of hammers in my brain— If I could tell you what the level of the pain is? Mercy. There doesn't seem to be a number Merry Christmas, Let's get displaced; Case is dismissed— Let's get shitfaced Wash the dishes, Pick the peloton, Pick imaginary friends And watch the President be hilarious, Until it effects us negative and in the read, When peanut butter bread and jelly All you ever get for breakfast For extended periods of time. Hah. Bloodshed? Wrong. Blood hound? Bad. Segmented thoughts on a toothache? Too late. I hate to tell you what the truth is, Cause you'd hate it. Useless. Jew fits; I just saved two cents on toothpaste And you got two new fits to wear for your friends approval and some cool picks But I can't do this anymore I want to choose live; Inside my death is The whole of the city, Electric and Thomas Edison And impressive Mister Business— Rockerfeller read about it; Somebody gotta learn and teach to squeeze the money out the people! Something simple says, “Just stop it.” Choke a chicken over breakfast, Thoughts of Belfast, real fast train to somewhere in LA, I think Today will be the day That I give bacon To charity, No care left, to give a gift So thankful, For being blessed with time to waste To write this piece of shit I guess I died I guess in family guy? I didn't like it, yet I think sometime's in stewie's cadence— …like, a British baby? And a talking dog? And a dumb ass dad? And a bunch of songs? And some salad dressing, To go with that master habit of getting Grams and Grammies; But in the long run, after a long talk on the roof with the opposite of God, I finally call a conference with all the lawyers of the court— But not to work at all, Only order sandwhiches Obsession has its advantages and platinum records, If you tap into it directly. Forget it. I'm out of magic. Or out of patience— out of time for petitions, But which one is it? Which dimension actually gets me picture perfect Instead of nervous in the eye of the beholders? Learn your lesson well; There's got to, got to be a reason why The wrong way is the right. There's got to be a reason why— My day becomes the night. There's got to be a reason for the words upon the paper, But I've got to figure out my rhythm later; I gone up instead of downtown, Turn the clock before the sunrise, I just want to find the love and the peace in it agai. Gotta love a synchronicity; I get stuck inside bronze statues Door way syndrome And I shutter just to never remember him But here the picture is, a perfect person Headless and befriended him, the lover The line inside my mind is crossed I'll suffer till I turn to dust on this one. My thoughts the first time I saw him? I hate him, Cause he'll never love me. What a troubled thought for a little girl on a lot of drugs and a weight problem. One more, I don't remember where I'm going Day to, I have to remember to forget you Take three, I'm happy that they pay me to tape these things Because I'm maybe going crazy; From the outside though, you wouldn't know it Low and behold, this is my show afterall And covered in gold like the whole of the moon I can play to the tune of two men, to two million don't let it torment you, You looks twisted Get out of your head, and turn off your television Go on a walk, Get run over by a bus or motorcycles Turn around and talk to God and your disciples — cause they all watch. Oh, what's wrong now? That's a long run, And now another pilot that I'm proud of— Stop looking at the ground— It hurts. Today, I learned my lesson, It was not a new apartment— It's a prison. I gotta say I kinda gotta love to wonder where the fuck I'm at besides “Manhattan”. The cat needs water, My heart needs captions. New York needs Jesus Hope he don't see this (Even if he did he probably wouldn't believe it, Or Even if he did He's having trouble learning English, And, Even if he did he had he's been repealing all his promises to return to us; We worship dollars A cock-shaped structures in New York— TIME TRAVELER Its called The Rock. SUPER NEW YORKER What. TIME TRAVELER I'm looking for The Rock. SUPER NEW YORKER What's that. TIME TRAVEL It's called “Rockefeller Plaza.” SUPER NEW YORKER What's that. TIME TRAVELER It's a building? I guess? SUPER NEW YORKER It's not. TIME TRAVELER It is. It's— SUPER NEW YORKER It's not. TIME TRAVELER But— *fucks off immidiately without any closure whatsoever.* TIME TRAVELER Huh. the TIME TRAVELER pulls up a picture on their device; the building itself seems to have disappeared from the photo; (Like Marty McFlyim back to the future) Contd Must be the wrong dimension… But then JOHN D. ROCKERFELLER Is MURDERED at the height of STANDARD OIL. Oh no! So that's what happened… Yeah? He was a bastard. Well! Damn. {Enter athe Multiverse} So you're everywhere all the time, And I got nothing left to run And we already talked the talk And we're already back to one Let the waves blow over, Cravings, tasting haze of periwinkle, heaven waking Putting every penny on the promise that you got me But you never save me, Really, Jesus? Racist! I got a lot of stakes in the game And all these snakes keep weighing in! I got these eight days left inside my head, And I'm a murderer Remember to admit his wrong you are Next time the caw will crow. I crevice drawing under rock Inside the undertoe, My surfboard heading home for shore, My body going under. Oh Conan, what have you done. I'm not sure yet. So? Go get him, you old hoot. I just want to watch a little longer! *feathers ruffled* What! It is comical So i'm stuck inside the equinox on Wall Street catatonic, Adding up the dollar signs and losses, Well now, Got my hosts and calling cards, And struck with dirty dozens Doesn't anybody understand? [no. Nobody does.] Certainly, you know, nobody does this. Certainly, I'm folding all the shirts for all the husbands Certainly my love was lost, but for sure I didn't want it. For sure, I dropped a couple rocks I had inside my pocket . Well done, folks. Guess what? Those aren't crocodile tears I'm crying. I'm dehydrated but they're called psychic cause Nobody knows where they come from; Some would form the thought that you got water trapped inside your soul It only happens when the sun sheds hard tears Here, solar panels Animals and tragic circumstances, Fucking Asholes Never shine your diamond on the twilight, Shooting stars; Never shoot at birds from cars; Remember, They are flying. I swallowed you whole, I swallowed you whole, I swallowed you, done. I swallowed you whole, I swallows you whole, I swallowed you down some. I swallowed you whole, I swallowed you whole, I swallowed you up; I swallowed you whole I swallowed you whole, You know what the cost is Just a heads up, If you take a picture of a gamgstalkers face, They run away. The crime being committed is a non-contact form of combat, a scientifically proven biological weapon. When you begin to document this meticulously, a pattern of coordination begins to become established. It's no longer some sort of phenomenon, that can be written off as a symptom of a broken mind; The more evidence you gather, It becomes a verifiable crime. Remember that the point of it is to control you, to enslave your autonomy— to program you to believe something is wrong, when clearly, The signs of an awakened mind can pick out patterns in the construct of human social behavior that is not ours; it is a deficit in conciousness, a weakness, caused by the moral degradation of our souls in the societal world— A loss of God. And also remember, Humans have a history to seek and destroy which it does not understand, And cannot control— However, also, God comes in all forms. You must know when all is all. Okay, shh— Don't lock the door, now You got a pardon, You better run. I am an a-list celebrity; I am an “amen, sister— I hear that!” I am a medicine woman, A centrifugal figure, A ritual character, Skilled at charicature— A big Kimmel fan, A rick and a Morty, A woman a man, A puppet, the master, A cat in a hatbox, A blasphemous coffin; A wart on a warflower.

Donald Trump. Tell him “no.” No to what? Just tell him “no.” Then he'll get here faster. So what do you got in your supplements? Simple psychology; Have a red album. Nah that.

I'm so sick of this kid, He just summons “Ham sandwhich” What's wrong with that? I gave him “ham sandwhich”, Alright?! All kinds, And you know what?

That's good. I'll say. Wouldn't want you to run for president. Someone still would have had to elected me. Oh, you mean like in all these parallels over here. *shrugs* They'll collapse eventually. They haven't yet. I just got assasinated. Wait for it. I've been waiting. I don't get why you hate me so much. I'm indifferent, really, just waiting for something exciting. I just got assasinated. And I just got a ten cent raise. From what I can tell, doesn't make much of a differences. It's like, limited assimilation in this dimension; Did I correct you— Lessons, I'm not making any promises.

What is even a Bruin? A bunch of racist frat boys and hot bitches in sororities and covens? Bet that Okay, Like, I fall in love But just to write a bit I pour my heart out in a song And for the moment I could make forget i'm ugly Even if for the duration of the half time; Half a pack at halftime, Half a pack at bedtime 20 cigarettes on your 2020 vision.

He show first, So I shot back I forgot rock doves Served a purpose Postage For lost albums on the surface Surfboards For hot rod bod host, I offered up Conan, Now pick that hard eye Banjo up Water dance Pick that apple, Off the tree With not a scratch Hands tied behind your back; Baggage claim, River dance Pick it up without a fork You whispered us a state of trance For God's socks, If I fly coach, Low ball Lost a fortune Don't call me ‘bud' I think about your walk all day; Like, Three or four times, maybe Not no noodle soup, you wonder But you're asking for a Ballroom. Haggard. God did far too good a job on you; As the car jumped over the moon. I complete your meat puppet, But recently went vegan Line them up and then A heart attack, A hot bath, And a hammock. You got your offer, But I want it back, I want my roses. Golden proses so rit and rattle. I rot in hell for all I've done, then scramble; Damn. I just can't get you off my head without ramble You're probably on a tour bus; She's pulling out all the stop— But you're my monster, just know that Although I'm on top of her turf. So much for Service Monday. So much for making money on a conduit, a conduct. So much for love as.

So to the effect you check your fax and press the send, I'm steady living, never coming back, Or cap the president— Never living, Never listing residence on Madison You're stuck inside my half-life That I'm mad besides the medicine. You're stuck inside my past, Like all the knives inside my back, And still I fondly think upon a laugh, As ice cream sundaes, Half a sandwich Appetite for having all you are inside my master work of art, The world, your face I cut from clay inside my hands And I still have you in my swollen arteries, and trees the veins, The wicked summers and the bitter winters came, But did not cross paths, So to not bear ties, and to not plug Holes in the hull of the whole ship I think I sunk overtime instead of rather All at once, You know, It doesn't suffix What it takes to turn it back from “Love him” Into nothing. 20 hours passed and 20 cigarettes and ivory towers, But forgive the lives inside of Mormon wives and ice cold showers— Scatterbrained but highly trained in “Never Happened.” “Didn't matter.” So you roll it up into a movie script and call them actors. Why'd you flash me, dancer, Don't you know how bad I want that? Out inside your dozens, for my cinnamon coated combat Nail box fires Had you ordered Your desires Flow the golden drifter Fear of rivers never frozen. Don't you know the sun draws close But the heart grows cold, But the want goes harder? Don't you know the doors get shut, And the Kings get cut, And the wind blows wilder? Don't you know the stars just fall from the sky (They all fall from the sky, They fell from the sky) Don't you know We're all gonna die Put a trial to the wand, Fore you take her heart out Ten times.

In this week's episode of Inspiration Nation, Lee and Ryan—sans Jose—dive into a profound quote from Dwight D. Eisenhower: “In preparing for battle, I've always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.” The duo unpacks the layered wisdom behind this military insight, translating it into everyday life and personal development. Whether you're tackling work challenges, personal goals, or navigating unexpected twists, they emphasize that while rigid plans often falter, the mental discipline and adaptability gained through planning are vital tools for resilience and growth.Ryan reflects on the value of failure as a teacher, while Lee highlights the importance of a “problem-solving mindset” and compares planning to rehearsing set plays in football—never predictable, but always preparing you for action. They wrap up with a reminder that success isn't always in the plan itself, but in your readiness to adapt and grow from each attempt. Dive in for insightful banter, powerful takeaways, and a dose of inspiration to fuel your week!

The hosts dive into paintball basics for beginners, breaking down the sport into approachable steps. They explain the essential gear (marker/gun, hopper, tank, protective mask) and highlight what newcomers often overlook—like the importance of a well-fitting mask and reliable loader system.Next, they cover the fundamental rules and game formats: capture the flag, elimination, scenario play. They emphasize safety protocols (never removing your mask on the field, always chronograph your marker to legal FPS, clear communication). They also stress field etiquette—don't move thrown bunkers, call your hits honestly, and respect referees.They then shift into strategy tips: how to pick your playing style (aggressive front-player vs. back-field support), coordinate with teammates, and use the available bunkers/cover effectively. A good tip: keep your body low, pop out for shots, and always move quickly between cover to avoid being an easy target.The hosts share some common rookie mistakes—shooting wildly rather than taking aimed bursts, failing to reload/have backup paint, focusing too much on your own play instead of good team positioning. They recommend new players practice first in low-pressure games, watch experienced players, and ask for feedback.Finally, they talk about choosing your first marker: set budget, reliability, ease of maintenance, and the local field's rental gear—sometimes starting with rentals is a smart move until you know you're invested. They wrap up by encouraging listeners to get out on the field, learn by doing, and enjoy the camaraderie and fun of paintball rather than stressing perfect play.

We knew the rates cap was coming, but no one expected the government to drag it out this long. On today's episode, we dive into the plan to finally rein in council rate hikes… in 2029. That's six years after National took office. People need relief right now, not in the next political lifetime. Duncan reckons it's a great policy torpedoed by hopeless timing, and Jordan Williams from the Taxpayers' Union joins us to break down why councils are already licking their chops. With spending up, payrolls swelling, and some councils proposing record increases, the delay effectively gives them three years to pump rates even higher. We also get into the government's wider economic credibility, the slow-walked reforms, Nicola Willis' spending story, and whether this National-led government is sleepwalking toward becoming a one-term wonder. Find out why Duncan says this delay is nothing short of a masterclass in political uselessness. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are your vitamins actually working? Discover five critical red flags that could mean your multivitamin quality is low, poorly absorbed, or causing more harm than good. From synthetic ingredients to dangerous fillers, learn how to choose supplements that truly support your health—not drain your wallet. This episode reveals what to look for on labels and why bioavailability matters more than you think. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Bioavailability Matters Most – Not all vitamin forms are created equal. Cyanocobalamin (cheap B12) can trigger inflammation and anxiety, while methylcobalamin is properly absorbed and utilized by your body. Always check for methylated forms of B vitamins and quality mineral chelates. Artificial Dyes Are Dangerous – Red Dye 40 and other fillers serve no nutritional purpose and are linked to inflammation, digestive imbalances, ADHD symptoms, and potential colon cancer risk. Up to 83% of supplements on Amazon contain unexpected ingredients or lack what's promised on the label. Under-Dosing Is Widespread – Most store-brand multivitamins contain trace amounts that provide no therapeutic benefit. For example, 800 IU of vitamin D won't raise deficient levels—you need at least 5,000 IU daily with K2 for optimal absorption and immune function. Folic Acid vs. Methylfolate Is Critical – If you have MTHFR gene mutations (extremely common), synthetic folic acid can cause depression, fatigue, and digestive issues. Your body needs methylfolate—the active form that actually works, especially important for pregnant women and those with chronic health conditions. Amino Acids Are Non-Negotiable – A true multivitamin should include amino acids like choline, arginine, methionine, lysine, taurine, and N-acetylcysteine. These are the building blocks of DNA and protein that support detoxification, energy production, and overall cellular function. FEATURED PRODUCT Good Poops Protocol – Even the highest-quality vitamins won't work if your gut can't absorb them. The Good Poops Protocol is designed to repair and support your digestive tract, ensuring optimal nutrient absorption and breakdown.  Get it here: https://mswnutrition.com/pages/good-poops-org TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – START – Welcome and episode overview 02:15 – Introduction to MSW Nutrition and the importance of quality supplements 04:30 – Red Flag #1: Poor bioavailability and why methylcobalamin beats cyanocobalamin 08:45 – The magnesium problem: glycinate vs. oxide and how to choose 11:20 – Red Flag #2: Artificial colors, dyes, and dangerous fillers in supplements 14:40 – Why MSW Nutrition supplements aren't on Amazon 17:30 – Red Flag #3: Under-dosing and why most multivitamins fail 20:15 – The vitamin D3 deficiency crisis and the importance of K2 23:45 – Red Flag #4: Synthetic folic acid vs. methylfolate and MTHFR mutations 27:30 – How MTHFR testing changed everything for proper supplementation 30:20 – Red Flag #5: The absence of amino acids in most multivitamins 33:10 – Why glutathione in oral form is a game-changer 35:45 – Final thoughts: Don't waste money on inferior supplements RESOURCES Example of Low-Quality Multivitamin Label – Common store-brand showing cyanocobalamin and synthetic ingredients https://www.naturemade.com/products/advanced-multivitamin-gummies-for-her?variant=41844880539787#pid=2 Red Dye 40 Health Risks – Research on inflammation, allergies, and hyperactivity links https://www.health.com/red-dye-40-8610527 Safety Concerns with Amazon Supplements – Study showing 83% contain unexpected ingredients https://www.verywellhealth.com/safety-of-amazon-supplements-6500961 Hidden Dangers of Buying Supplements from Amazon – Counterfeit products and contamination risks https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/nutrition/the-hidden-dangers-of-buying-supplements-from-amazon/ar-AA1FF5vB MSW Nutrition Boost Multivitamin – High-quality example with methylated vitamins and amino acids https://mswnutrition.com/collections/best-sellers-1/products/boost?variant=29599579078728 CONNECT

In this repeat episode, Dominik Dorfmeister unpacks the pitfalls of React's useCallback and useMemo, revealing how these hooks often introduce more complexity than performance gains. He explores the promise of the React Compiler, the practical power of the “latest ref” pattern, and strategies to boost code readability and maintainability at scale. Learn why overusing useEffect and manual memoization can do more harm than good, and how teams can level up their PR reviews and performance practices using tools like the ESLint React Compiler plugin.

A powerful reminder inspired by Jayden Reed's quote: “If you're juiceless, you're useless.” This episode breaks down why energy fuels performance, how it impacts team culture, and why protecting your “juice” is one of the most important leadership decisions you'll make. Energize yourself — and elevate everyone around you.

This episode argues that the AI bubble conversation has become one of the least helpful frames for understanding what actually matters in AI (at least if you're not an investor). It's a sentiment-driven market narrative shaped by macro pressure, uncertainty, and impossible long-range predictions—none of which tell operators anything about how to use AI or plan for it. The real signals come from adoption patterns, financing structures, and the shifting economic context around AI infrastructure. Plus: headlines on the paused White House EO, insurers excluding AI risk, Google's compute expansion, OpenAI's Apple talent drain, and Sierra's rapid growth.Brought to you by:KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

The Ringmaster James T. is off for the holiday week, enter Leland Conway to the center ring. Leland covers the democrat senators' sedition video but zeros in on Arizona Senator Mark Kelly. We all know how the liberal media controls the narrative they want Americans to believe, but how much of the details do they workout is a different question. Saguaro High School in Scottsdale has a group of students who are petitioning to get rid of their local Turning Point USA chapter. When you listen to the details you understand these kids are terribly mislead when it comes to how they get their information. Plus, Trump's healthcare plan, and life of a border patrol agent with Art del Cueto.

Ford says it cannot fill 5,000 mechanic jobs at 120k a year as the panel debates whether America faces a true labor shortage or a wage problem. The conversation expands into student visas, trade skills, college majors, and how bad policy is distorting the entire labor market.

As the founder of Robert's Rules Made Simple, she has trained and coached more than 10,000 board members and meeting chairs across North America, giving them the skills and confidence to run healthy, effective, and engaging meetings.Susan's passion for this work is deeply personal. After watching her mother serve five years on a dysfunctional city government board, she saw how toxic meetings don't just waste time—they drain health, energy, and life. While she doesn't believe that experience caused her mother's cancer, she knows it didn't help. That realization fuels her mission: using Robert's Rules not just as a productivity tool, but as a pathway to healthier, more respectful, and more human meeting dynamics.A Certified Speaking Professional and founding member of the Association of Transformational Leaders, Susan brings humor, heart, and practical strategies to every stage. Her message is simple yet profound: Time is life, and your life matters—stop wasting it in poorly run meetings.Download Episode TranscriptEpisode HighlightsMeet Susan Leahy: Susan shares her unique background growing up with a mother who was a professional clown (yes, really!), and how that early exposure to creativity and joy impacted her approach to life and her business today.Origin Story: Susan recounts how, as a teenager, she joined her mother at a junior college class on Robert's Rules of Order—her first introduction to meeting management that would later shape her career.What Are Robert's Rules of Order?Susan explains the history behind Robert's Rules, why General Henry M. Robert wrote a parliamentary procedure handbook in 1876, and how it became the gold standard for running board and organizational meetings.She discusses how these rules can help bring order, civility, and effectiveness to meetings of all sizes—whether for large organizations, small nonprofits, HOAs, or even family discussions.Modernizing a Classic: Susan reveals how she brings energy, fun, and modern relevance to the (traditionally dry) topic of Robert's Rules—making the process more accessible, less intimidating, and empowering for today's leaders.From Boardroom to Bedroom: The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Susan talks about how the principles of structure, order, and intention can also be applied to personal relationships—including marriage. She notes that having structure actually frees people up to communicate better and have more fun.Practical Wisdom:How understanding just seven fundamental motions can help anyone feel more confident in running or participating in meetings.The importance of having an agenda, setting intention, and valuing everyone's time and life.Why structure in meetings and relationships creates more “rhythm” and less chaos.Empowering Leaders: Susan shares stories from her 20+ years in this field, including helping boards resolve conflict before turning to lawyers, and how simple changes in meeting dynamics can make a world of difference.Decision-making in the Age of AI: Both Liz and Susan discuss the irreplaceable human element of group decisions and why, despite advances in technology, real conversations and choices should remain a uniquely human process.Resources and How to Work with Susan: Whether for your board, your business, or your personal life, Susan offers online programs and coaching to help you “chair a meeting with confidence” and create healthier dynamics—everywhere.Links MentionedVisit robertsrulesmadesimple.com for Susan's online training programs on meeting management and parliamentary procedure.For personal/couples coaching and resources: susanleahy.comKey TakeawayEffective meetings (and relationships!) thrive on clear structure, intention, and respect for everyone's time—because “time equals life.” By learning even the basics of Robert's Rules and bringing purposeful energy into your gatherings, you can create healthier, happier environments at work and at home.Connect with Susan:robertsrulesmadesimple.comsusanleahy.com Hosted on Acast.

In this conversation, you'll discover:Why your achievement addiction is actually a fear response in disguiseHow play unlocks the creative parts of yourself productivity destroysThe real reason you can't rest (and how to finally stop running) When was the last time you did something just because it was fun?Not because it would advance your career. Not because it would make you a better parent or partner. Not because it would optimize your health or expand your network. Just because it brought you joy.If you're sitting there drawing a blank, you're not alone. Most of us have turned our entire lives into one giant to-do list. We've optimized the fun right out of existence.I realized this recently when I noticed that every single thing on my calendar served a purpose. Work meetings. Kid activities. Workouts. Networking events. Even my "fun" plans were really just relationship maintenance or personal development in disguise. There was literally nothing on there that was pure play. Nothing that existed just because it lit me up inside.We've been sold this idea that adulthood means being serious. Responsible. Productive. But somewhere along the way, we confused being an adult with being joyless. In Vedic philosophy, there's this concept of lila. Divine play. The idea that creation itself is an act of joyful expression, not serious business. That the universe is literally playing itself into existence. And yet here we are, treating our one precious life like a performance review.Links from the episode:Show Notes: mindlove.com/427Join the Mind Love CollectiveSign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspiredSupport Mind Love SponsorsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Beta-blockers offer no survival benefit for most heart attack patients with normal heart function, even though they're still widely prescribed Women face higher risks on beta-blockers, including nearly double the risk of death when given higher doses, while men show no measurable harm or benefit Side effects such as fatigue, dizziness, depression, and sexual dysfunction often burden patients without providing meaningful protection The real root of heart disease lies in damaged mitochondria, which are overwhelmed by linoleic acid (LA) from vegetable oils found in most processed foods You can protect your heart by reducing LA, eating the right kinds of carbohydrates, walking daily, getting safe sunlight, and tracking your HOMA-IR score
