Every superhero has an arch-nemesis (or two). Batman's got the Joker. Spidey's got the Green Goblin. Superman? Lex Luthor. But you? You've got five freelancing villains quietly sabotaging your business. There's no maniacal laughter or evil stare. They're not wearing capes or threatening to destroy the world with a giant-ass laser. These villains are more subtle: “Just one more YouTube video…” “I'll do those reachouts tomorrow…” “I need to fix my portfolio first…” And before you know it? They've stolen another week of progress. If there's one thing I've learned working 1 on 1 with hundreds of creative freelancers, it's this: You don't rise to the level of your strategy…You fall to the level of your patterns. I've seen clients with a flawless strategy that they're trying to execute… And yet they can't get out of their own damn way to execute it. Because when things get hard, or new, or uncomfortable… We default down to whatever survival pattern we've always used to cope. In this week's episode, I'm joined by one of the Clients by Design coaches, Josh Love, to call out all 5 of those freelancing villains (and how to finally defeat them). We'll dive into: how these patterns form how they masquerade as productivity what to do when you catch yourself spiraling. The first step to defeating your particular villain is knowing which one you're dealing with. For full show notes, visit https://6figurecreative.com/376

The Sports Experience Podcast with Chris Quinn and Dominic DiTolla
Episode 307 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're back on the diamond discussing Mark McGwire.“Big Mac” made a splash in Major League Baseball after a successful college career at USC.At 6'5” 220 lbs., the enormous first baseman unanimously won the 1987 American League Rookie of the Year when he clubbed a then-rookie record 49 home runs for the Oakland Athletics.Along with his “Bash Brother” partner, Jose Canseco, McGwire helped lead the A's to three straight AL pennants from 1988-1990 and won a World Series in 1989.Though injuries and the 1994 MLB strike prevented McGwire from producing effectively, his final two and a half seasons in Oakland saw him club 125 home runs before he was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals midway through the 1997 campaign.Yet it was 1998 when McGwire was celebrated as the “Savior of Baseball” after the negative fallout from the 1994 strike.McGwire broke Roger Maris' single-season home run record, and finished 1998 with 70 on the season! He hit another 65 in 1999 and hit a combined 61 in 2000 and 2001 before his retirement.Sadly, these records came at a price. McGwire, thought to be a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame as a 12x All-Star with 583 career home runs, was caught up in the scandal surrounding performance enhancing drug use in MLB during the 1990s and 2000s.McGwire eventually admitted he took steroids during a 2010 interview with Bob Costas, and has been left out of Cooperstown like so many of his contemporaries who made the same choice.Watch, Subscribe & Comment on All Platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/the-sports-experience-podcast-with-chris-quinn/id1529622054Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1esgBLz04MZYrTgYMk5DvaConnect with us on Instagram!Chris Quinn: https://www.instagram.com/cquinncomedy/Dominic DiTolla: https://www.instagram.com/ditolladominic/Ty Engle:https://www.instagram.com/ty_englestudio/S.E.P.: https://www.instagram.com/thesportsexperiencepodcast/If you enjoy our podcast, please help support us:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-experience-pod/support#sportspodcast#comedypodcast#markmcgwire#baseball#oaklandathletics#stlouiscardinals#baseballplayer#mlb#baseballhistory

We’ll be talking about Pink Collar Workers: women who revolutionized jobs that have traditionally been called "women's work." Through their lives, they created a more just and humane world for us today. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason.

Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.

You know those mystery charges at the pharmacy that make zero sense? Yeah, turns out, there's a whole shadowy system behind it and no, it's not your pharmacist's fault. This week on Knock Knock Hi, Kristin and I talk with Deborah Keaveny , president of Pharmacists United for Truth and Transparency (PUTT), about the tangled web of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), why your copays never go down, and how independent pharmacies are basically being squeezed to death. We get into the secret contracts, gag clauses, clawbacks, and even why some pharmacists now run liquor stores and coffee shops just to keep the lights on. It's equal parts depressing, eye-opening, and—believe it or not—hopeful. There's real legislation happening, and maybe, just maybe, the tide is turning. Takeaways: Discover how PBMs started as simple payment processors… and morphed into billion-dollar healthcare gatekeepers. Learn why pharmacists sometimes lose money by filling your prescription—and how “clawback fees” make it worse. The shocking truth about mail-order pharmacies (hint: PBMs own them and pay themselves hundreds more per script). Why GoodRx isn't always good—and what lawsuits are revealing about patient data and price collusion. How new state and federal legislation might finally crack down on PBMs, save independent pharmacies, and protect patients. — Want more Deborah Keaveny Twitter/X: @TruthRx Facebook: https://facebook.com/TruthRx Instagram: @putt_national Twitter/X: @keavenyrx To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

UnHerd's Freddie Sayers speaks with journalist and author of new book Apple in China, Patrick McGee – who was the Financial Times's principal Apple reporter from 2019 to 2023 – about the man at the centre of Apple's China story: CEO Tim Cook.On August 1st, Cook quietly became Apple's longest-serving leader, overtaking Steve Jobs — a milestone that came days before a high-profile White House appearance in which he warmly praised Donald Trump. The move was widely seen as a calculated bid to secure political goodwill as US–China tensions threaten Apple's business.Before becoming CEO, Cook built Apple's vast Chinese supply chain — training millions of workers and investing billions in infrastructure — giving the company unmatched manufacturing power but also a deep reliance on China's authoritarian system. Now, McGee says, he is scrambling to shift production elsewhere while navigating Washington politics. His book, Apple in China, charts how Cook's choices drove Apple's rise — and its vulnerabilities — as speculation grows over his future and who might replace him. Hosted on Acast.

Tapputi is widely regarded as one of the first known chemists, and her name appears in a Mesopotamian cuneiform tablet dating to approximately 1200 BCE.
