Podcast appearances and mentions of Vivek H Murthy

For more than a year now, Wine Enthusiast Writer-at-Large Michael Alberty has been tracking a story about the Oregon Health Authority and some questionable PSAs it ran at the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024. At that time, the spots—running widely in Oregon—seemed at the very least heavy-handed and ponderous. At the worst, they indicated a growing influence of out-of-state lobbying groups bent on shaping Oregon's health policy. At that time, another "Dry January" period, we talked about how that particular social media trend had its roots in temperance organizations in Europe and the United Kingdom with much more radical agendas than new year/new you. One of them, Movendi International, traces its beginnings back to the 1800s in America and played a key role in instituting Prohibition (the first one). Alberty's full story, titled "The Neo-Prohibitionists Are Coming," appears in the upcoming Winter Issue of Wine Enthusiast Magazine. Here, we delve into some of the details of his investigation. It's a fascinating lens into the discussion of alcohol and health (and politics) into sharp focus, especially not long after U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy issued an advisory on a potential link between alcohol and cancer. Is there a guest you want us to interview? A topic you want us to cover? We want to hear from you!

U.S. surgeon general Dr. Vivek H. Murthy has said that parental burnout is a public health issue on the same level as cigarettes, obesity and gun violence. It's the result of a decades-long trend towards intensive parenting, according to New York Times reporter Claire Cain Miller, who points out that working mothers today spend as much time with their kids as stay-at-home moms did in the 1970s. We talk with Miller about how we got to this point. Are you a parent who's feeling burnt out? Guests: Claire Cain Miller, reporter, New York Times Dr. Keith Sutton, clinical psychologist; director of the Bay Area Center for Anxiety; former president of the Association of Family Therapists of Northern California

Send us a textAt the end of August, Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy released a Surgeon General's Advisory about the stress and mental health challenges of parenthood. The big takeaway - parents today are being pushed to the brink and they need support. We couldn't agree more, and know that you are feeling it, too. Join Becca and Marie to talk through what the data tells about parenthood stress along with the real life stories behind that data. We'll also talk through the proposed solutions - what works, what doesn't, and what can we do going forward to make a real impact.

U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy recently issued an advisory saying stress from parenting is a public health issue. The nation's doctor shared his concerns over the well-being of parents, noting overwhelming stressors affecting parents today – from financial pressures to worries around kids' health and safety. The advisory notes that nearly half of parents say most days their stress is overwhelming and more than 40% say they are so stressed they cannot function. Marlo McIlraith is an associate professor of pediatrics and a pediatrician at OHSU. She joins us to share more on what is causing more parents to be stressed today and ways she recommends they try to help deal with these emotions.

The U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy issued a CDC advisory for parents: You're stressed and your stress is impacting your children. The Surgeon General also outlines solutions you can implement when you're so stressed you cannot function. Dave and Debbie discuss if any of these solutions are practical for them.

There is a movement afoot to restrict young people's access to social media and pornography. Critics of social media and online porn argue that they can be harmful to minors, and states across the country are taking up the cause, considering laws that would impose age-verification, curfews, parental opt-ins, and other restrictions. Meanwhile, critics of the critics argue that the evidence of harm isn't so conclusive and that many of the proposed restrictions violate core civil liberties such as privacy and free speech. So, who's right?

This is a Girl Take the Lead Sound Bite – which is a shorter episode which is a bit more about the topic in our most recent episode.   For this past month we've been talking about connections and some have been global, some have been local, and others have been non-human. Today we'll build a bit more on those topics by covering the book, Together, by Dr. Vicek Murthy, Surgeon General of the United States, and I'll share a real example of connection which occurred during my 50 year Chi Omega sorority reunion and some of the accounts by those who attended. They offer us plenty of wisdom particularly as they answer the question: what would you tell your 20 something self today.

In the last few years, artificial intelligence has gone from a novelty to perhaps the most influential technology we've ever seen. The people building AI are convinced that it will eradicate disease, turbocharge productivity, and solve climate change. It feels like we're on the cusp of a profound societal transformation. And yet, I can't shake the feeling we've been here before. Fifteen years ago, there was a similar wave of optimism around social media: it was going to connect the world, catalyze social movements and spur innovation. It may have done some of these things. But it also made us lonelier, angrier, and occasionally detached from reality.Few people understand this trajectory better than Maria Ressa. Ressa is a Filipino journalist, and the CEO of a news organization called Rappler. Like many people, she was once a fervent believer in the power of social media. Then she saw how it could be abused. In 2016, she reported on how Rodrigo Duterte, then president of the Philippines, had weaponized Facebook in the election he'd just won. After publishing those stories, Ressa became a target herself, and her inbox was flooded with death threats. In 2021, she won the Nobel Peace Prize.I wanted this to be our first episode because I think, as novel as AI is, it has undoubtedly been shaped by the technologies, the business models, and the CEOs that came before it. And Ressa thinks we're about to repeat the mistakes we made with social media all over again.Mentioned:“How to Stand Up to a Dictator” by Maria Ressa“A Shocking Amount of the Web is Machine Translated: Insights from Multi-Way Parallelism” by Thompson et al.Rappler's Matrix Protocol Chat App: Rappler Communities“Democracy Report 2023: Defiance in the Face of Autocratization” by V-Dem“The Foundation Model Transparency Index” by Stanford HAI (Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence)“All the ways Trump's campaign was aided by Facebook, ranked by importance” by Philip Bump (The Washington Post)“Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation” by U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H.

As misinformation proliferates online, the government increasingly attempts to curb its spread. In the face of strong formal speech protections, government officials have taken to pressuring and cajoling social media platforms to suppress unwanted content in the halls of Congress and behind the scenes. To what extent can the government's power to speak be used to combat online misinformation before it becomes “jawboning” that violates the speech rights of private actors? The latest documentary from FedSoc Studios, Jawboned: Miss Information vs. Free Speech, investigates the distinctions between notification, persuasion, and unconstitutional government coercion, a key issue before the Supreme Court this term in Vivek H. Murthy v. Missouri and National Rifle Association v. Maria Vullo. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Vivek H. Murthy, Surgeon General, et al. v. Missouri, et al., argued before the Supreme Court of the United States on March 18, 2024. From the Brief for the Petitioners: Respondents are two States and five individual users of social-media platforms who allege that the federal government transformed the private platforms' content-moderation decisions into state action and violated the First Amendment by communicating with the platforms about content moderation and responding to the platforms' inquiries about matters of public health. From the Brief for the Respondents: This Court “has rarely,” if ever, “faced … a coordinated campaign of this magnitude orchestrated by federal officials that jeopardized a fundamental aspect of American life.” The federal Petitioners (“Defendants”) “have engaged in a broad pressure campaign designed to coerce social-media companies into suppressing speakers, viewpoints, and content disfavored by the government.”***Having trampled the free-speech rights of “millions” of Americans, Defendants now complain that this Court cannot stop them because the government must be allowed to speak freely. This argument flips the First Amendment on its head…. Defendants would have this Court protect the government's campaign to constrain private actors. The government can speak freely on any topic it chooses, but it cannot pressure and coerce private companies to censor ordinary Americans.” Questions Presented: (1) Whether respondents have Article III standing;(2) Whether the government's challenged conduct transformed private social-media companies' content-moderation decisions into state action and violated respondents' First Amendment rights; and(3) Whether the terms and breadth of the preliminary injunction are proper.

In 2020, current US Surgeon General Dr. Viv-ik Mur-thee (Vivek H. Murthy) authored a powerful treatise on the impact of loneliness and the benefits of human connection. Drawing on rich science, compelling personal stories, and beautiful prose, it explores the high costs of loneliness and considers how individuals, societies, and governments can tackle the problem by promoting human connection by building a belonging society.    The book discovered one of the most common underlying themes of ill health was loneliness, without exemption by wealth, education, or accomplishments. The Surgeon General labeled this as an epidemic and said, “Loneliness and isolation have been an underappreciated public health crisis that has harmed individual and societal health.” He went on to say that human relationships – connection and belonging – are the medicine that can allow us to heal and live healthier, more fulfilled, and productive lives.   Now in our Belonging Membership Community, we recognize that one important ingredient to building this belonging society is the role of the workplace. Sadly, building belonging cultures at work has yet to take root – it's a stretch for some of us to even permit ourselves to imagine what a belonging workplace can look and feel like on a full sensory level. As George Washington Carver once said, without vision, there can be no hope.   Fortunately, today we are joined by Dr. Cordell Carter, the Aspen Institute's Founding Director, who will us imagine what a belonging society can be, and we'll explore how the workplace can play a key role in activating this vision. Dr. Carter is a transformative leader in championing democracy, DEIB, and promoting the greater good. He serves as the Aspen Institute's Founding Director of the Project on Belonging, and his career journey is as diverse as it is impressive, spanning roles at the White House, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and IBM.     Together, our conversation supports DEIB professionals, along with other executives, and those on their way to joining us, by sharing his belonging society vision. He will also share practical strategies on how our workplaces can play a role into making this vision a reality. Topics explored during this episode include:   --Dr. Carter's calling to serve as the Founding Director of the Aspen Institute's Project on Belonging. --The importance of having a vision, even if that vision feels elusive, and how it can make what feels impossible become a reality. --The threat of not addressing the global epidemic on exclusion and loneliness, and how building a belonging society and upend it.   https://www.linkedin.com/in/cordellcarterii/ https://www.aspeninstitute.org/people/cordell-carter-ii/ https://expectantadvisory.com/#about https://www.festivalofthediaspora.org/ Savor this insightful talk, and if you're looking for more ways to connect with inspiring leaders like Dr. Carter, be sure to join the Belonging Membership Community – a community of leaders committed to advancing their DEIB goals while practicing community care.

Have you ever found yourself scrolling through your feed, feeling more disconnected from the world around you with every passing second? This week, I sat down with the insightful Julio Vincent Gambuto, author of Please Unsubscribe, Thanks! and the mind behind the essay that took the internet by storm, Prepare for the Ultimate Gaslighting. Through the intimate recounting of his own story, from modest upbringing to the halls of Harvard, Julio helps us navigate the complex web of cultural and economic disparities that shape our lives. Alongside insights from author, Ali Wenzke, we traverse the rocky terrain of life's challenges and the critical role of social ties in overcoming them.As the conversation unfolds, we confront the pervasive shadow that is loneliness, an affliction magnified by the pandemic and dissected through the eyes of former Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy. The stark realities of our individualistic society come to light, revealing how our relentless pursuit of success might actually be leading us away from genuine human connection. This episode isn't just about examining the societal constructs that breed isolation; it's a call to action for each of us to rekindle the bonds that make us human, across all ages and walks of life.Finally, as we reflect on the recent global pause, we're prompted to question the fast-paced automation of our lives and the true cost of convenience. We celebrate the companies like Patagonia that are blazing trails toward a more balanced approach, where employee well-being is more than a hollow perk—it's the cornerstone of a sustainable future. Join me for a profound look at how we can emerge from these challenging times not just unscathed, but enriched, with a renewed appreciation for what it means to be part of a community.Julio Vincent GambutoPlease Unsubscribe, Thanks!, Julio Vincent GambutoHow to Stay Married: The Most Insane Love Story Ever Told, Harrison Scott Key The Art of Happy Moving, Ali Wenzke Support the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links

 “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” – Hebrews 10:24-25 “We are called to build a movement to mend the social fabric of our nation. Each of us can start now, in our own lives, by strengthening our connections and relationships. Our individual relationships are an untapped resource—a source of healing hiding in plain sight.

He is also a huge fan of Canadian band “The Tragically Hip”.Employee engagement has been stuck at sad, low levels ever since pollsters have been measuring it. And each year, leaders are tasked with bringing levels up, but how? My friend Dan Pontefract, leadership strategist, culture change expert, speaker, Tragically Hip superfan (if you're Canadian, you'll understand this), and best-selling author of four books, joins us today to share his thoughts on how you can make Work and Life Bloom…no coincidence, that's the title of his newest book… “Work-Life Bloom”. Dan suggests we have been getting leadership's definition wrong, largely because of three big myths: Work-life balance is a zero-sum game, the invitation for authenticity has only been lip service, and focusing on employee engagement has been a complete miss.CHAPTERS00:03:23 Book origins00:07:01 A sense of agency and autonomy00:10:45 Speaking up when necessary00:13:34 The 4 Personas00:17:48 Leaders getting involved00:26:44 Are we expecting too much of our leaders?00:31:16 What is the perception of leaders?00:36:27 Dan's overarching goalLINKSGallupBlessing/WhiteAon HewittGallup - Employee EngagementWorld Health Organization - Burn-out an "occupational phenomenon"Dr. Vivek H.

Educators know mental health must be treated like physical health - it's a basic need that must be met for students to be able to successfully learn and grow in our schools. But, since even before the pandemic, there's been a growing mental health crisis among children. Dr. Ariana Hoet, executive clinical director for Nationwide Children's Hospital's On Our Sleeves program, joins the Ohio Education Association for this episode to discuss factors that contribute to the crisis, what can be done to support students in schools, and the resources available to help educators help kids. In this episode, we also hear some of the message and a new resolution from the Ohio House of Representatives that was shared with educators as part OEA's first-ever Public Education Matters Day celebrations across the state.IMPORTANT RESOURCES | Click here to learn more about On Our Sleeves, and check out some of the following resources for educators: GoNoodle: https://www.gonoodle.com/tags/L2nZb2/all-the-feels Teacher curriculums: https://www.onoursleeves.org/mental-wellness-tools-guides/educator-sign-up Sign up for teacher listserv: https://www.onoursleeves.org/sign-up (just click educator) Follow On Our Sleeves on Instagram at @onoursleevesofficial and On Our Sleeves on Facebook. SUBSCRIBE | Click here to subscribe to Public Education Matters on Apple Podcasts or click here to subscribe on Google podcasts so you don't miss a thing.

Dr. Hoet believes all children and families should have a fair opportunity to be as healthy as possible. That enthusiasm extends into her desire for making sure that people of all backgrounds are accepted and celebrated – a passion born from her own experience as an immigrant to the U.S. from Venezuela. Her work in this arena led her to being recognized as a Distinguished Hispanic Ohioan by the Ohio Commission on Hispanic/Latino Affairs and an “EXTRAordinary” Volunteer by the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio for her work within the Spanish-speaking community. Dr. Hoet works in Pediatric Primary Care where she serves primarily Latino and Somali immigrant children. She is also a clinical assistant professor of Pediatrics in the Department of Pediatric Psychology and Neuropsychology at Nationwide Children's Hospital and The Ohio State University, with a role in training the next generation of behavioral health professionals who will tackle the emerging mental health crisis in children. Dr. Hoet has become a go-to national expert for outlets including USA Today, CNN, Good Morning America, and Newsweek because she is a vital public voice for youth mental health, and also because she has made an impact on countless young lives in her clinical practice. The work of On Our Sleeves and Dr. Hoet helped draw U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy to Nationwide Children's in October of 2022 to discuss the county's growing pediatric mental health crisis. In panel discussions before central Ohio business executives at Nationwide Children's, and with hundreds of college students at Otterbein University, Dr. Hoet and Dr. Murthy spoke passionately about addressing often-misunderstood mental health challenges. Dr. Hoet is the proud mom of a toddler and enjoys family time, dancing, and Ohio State football. She is also involved in Latino community events, both personally and professionally. Dr. Hoet is the co-founder and vice president of Parenting Culture, a national non-profit for culturally responsive and inclusive parenting resources and a board member of Proyecto Mariposas, the Columbus non-profit serving Latina mothers and daughters. She received her bachelor's degree in psychology from The Ohio State University and a doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. She completed her residency at The University of Colorado School of Medicine and a post-doctoral fellowship at Akron Children's Hospital.

Loneliness kills. Just like cigarettes. Social isolation is such a problem that it is shortening lives and US health officials have declared it to be an epidemic. Earlier this month, the US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy said: "It is associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety, and premature death. We're publishing this interview on Memorial Day in the US - a public holiday which for many people is a day of socialization, family gatherings and fun events away from work.  But what if you're alone today?  What are you thinking? Laura Putnam is the founder of Motion Infusion - a company with a mission to bring movement to the workplace.  She's also an advocate for measures to combat the loneliness and isolation that many people feel through a lack of social connections. In this interview we cover: What if you could ward off the killer diseases of old age by simply strengthening your social connectionsLaura delves into the vital importance of love and connection for happiness and longevity and shares her mission to leverage workplaces to promote better health and well-being.We reveal the surprising link between social isolation and life-threatening diseases.Why poor health and well-being are taking a toll on communities and populations and what can we do to change the situation? The moral case for workplace health improvementLaura debunks the myth of fear-based motivation, and discussed how to use everyday language to engage people and guide them towards making significant lifestyle changes. We bridge the gap between recognizing the value of health and actually taking action to ensure our well-being.The importance of community buildingHow to mitigate feelings of loneliness and isolation.How to discover the benefits of getting out into nature and connecting with people in our neighborhoods.The power of pet ownership, and the idea of creating communities around common interests. We also touch on the practice of positivity resonance, reminding us of the good things that happen in our lives. DISCOUNTS▸ The aging process affects our cells much earlier than you might think - it leads to a slower metabolism, lower energy and weaker muscles.  The Swiss longevity brand Time-line is offering LLAMA podcast listeners a 10% discount on its Mitopure products - Mitopure Powder, Softgels and Mitopure + Protein.

What is loneliness? It's a feeling a lot of people are having nowadays. And if we can get to the heart of this question, we can come up with some strategies to minimize it for ourselves. Cigna conducted a study in 2022 and revealed that 58% (!) of people say they always or sometimes feel like people don't know them well.So today I want to talk about loneliness. I want to talk about its definition, the 3 types that researchers have found, and why I think having an understanding of the concept of loneliness can help us combat it. Loneliness does not have to be an elusive mystery. There are things we can do to redirect our energy and slowly chip away at this feeling so we can all feel a little less lonely.In this episode you'll hear about:The definition of loneliness, and how it differs from social isolation. Isolation is a risk factor for loneliness, but it is not loneliness3 dimensions of loneliness: intimate or emotional loneliness, relational or social loneliness, and collective lonelinessWhy some of our loneliness can be blamed on our expectations that come from societal messages, pop culture, mass media, social media, or even expectations we're holding on to about a certain friendshipHow to recalibrate our expectations by ignoring the the shiny, unrealistic highlight reels of someone else's life in favor of celebrating the quiet moments we have with friends that may not be that interesting from the outside looking inThe incredible value of pouring into our “weak ties” and building a broader support system, rather than focusing on one or two relationshipsResources & LinksLearn more about loneliness at Campaign to End Loneliness and read their facts and statistics about loneliness here.Check out the book Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World by Vivek H.

Without community, we can become isolated, which has been found to be connected with inflammation and can even negatively impact immune response. Moreover, whom you choose to be in community with also matters. Your immediate social circle—the four-to-five people you surround yourself with the most—has the greatest influence on your health. In today's episode, I talk with Radha Agrawal, Dan Buettner, and Dr. Vivek Murthy about why community matters, what we have learned from cultures that prioritize community in their population, and how to take care of our needs first before giving to others.Radha Agrawal is the Co-founder, CEO, and Chief Community Architect of Daybreaker, the early morning dance and wellness move-ment. Daybreaker currently holds events in 25 cities and more than a dozen college campuses around the world and has a community of almost half a million people. She is also the author of the book, Belong: Find Your People, Create Community, and Live a More Connected Life. Dan Buettner is an explorer, National Geographic Fellow, award-winning journalist and producer, and New York Times bestselling author. He discovered the five places in the world— dubbed Blue Zones hotspots—where people live the longest, healthiest lives. Dr. Vivek H. Murthy served as the 19th Surgeon General of the United States from December 15, 2014 to April 21, 2017 and was confirmed by the United States Senate on March 23, 2021 as the 21st Surgeon General of the United States. In 2017, Dr. Murthy focused his attention on chronic stress and loneliness as prevalent problems that have profound implications for health, productivity, and happiness.

Is more better? Maybe, if we are talking about ice cream. What about if we are talking about collaboration? Rob Cross would argue that we can become overwhelmed by all the connecting and collaborating. Pre-pandemic we spent 85% of our time in collaborative activities, like e-mail, phone calls, meetings… That is higher today. Rob is the author of Beyond Collaboration Overload: How to Work Smarter, Get Ahead, and Restore Your Well-Being. The book is a culmination of research on mapping the patterns of connectivity and collaboration among high performers. It's not that they didn't collaborate; however, they chose how they used their time and strategically connected. Rob shares why we tend to overextend ourselves and what we can do with the time we get back. Our well-being is tied to our healthy relationships and reducing the micro-stressors. In this episode, Rob shares: The unintended consequences of collaboration. Strategies to work smarter. Indicators that we are in collaboration overload.

U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy joins The Post to discuss the rapid spread of the delta variant throughout the United States and the campaign against vaccine misinformation.

One of my mentors and best friends taught me long ago to always lead with the bad news. “Bad news first,” he would say when I walked into his office (since I rarely came with good news, but that's for another soapbox). I adopted that strategy in all facets of my life and it has served me well. However, it's not great for showbiz, so we're going to start with the good news. Driving to and from Las Vegas over summer vacation, spending almost a week there, and then spending lots of time in the greater Sacramento area going to dinners, lunches, and stores, there was a lot of good. Unfortunately, the good was basically breaking my self-imposed rule of celebrating normal. It IS good, though, to see seemingly so many people returning to life. In Vegas, maybe 25% of all people were wearing masks, and there was certainly no social distancing of any kind going on there. The casinos, bars, restaurants and strip itself were packed shoulder to shoulder. There was the odd store, like Louis Vuitton, who was still engaging in capacity limits and lines to get in (thus, they didn't get our business) and only one store in all of Vegas (we went to literally dozens) asked us to put on a mask to enter. Thus, we didn't enter…screw you, Valentino. My wife found her shoes elsewhere, thank you. The roads everywhere are packed, to be sure. What should have been a 7-8 hour drive to Las Vegas took over 10, solely because there were just too many damn cars (and tons of truckers keeping America running) on the road. Not just in Vegas, but also Reno, where we stopped briefly, and throughout Sacramento, people are also generally in good, positive moods. In fact, I noticed that the only grouchy people seem to be the ones who should be at home in the first place; those rare customers wearing masks, who seem incapable of being happy about anything. It was also noteworthy and refreshing to observe that essentially no one, anywhere, is talking about anything related to Covid. The maskers don't talk to anyone anyway, so they don't count. Everyone else was talking about plans, sports, the weather, which concerts and events they're going to go to, seeing family and friends, getting back to work in offices, even the holidays. So yes, normal is good…it shouldn't be celebrated, but it should be at least noticed. It also comes with some unfortunate side effects after the last year. Most notably, people are awkward as hell. It's glaringly obvious who amongst us has spent the last year living life as normally as possible, and who actually literally stayed home the entire time. Many times my wife and I felt like we were teaching children how to socialize with strangers in public for the first time, but hey, at least they've found their way back…and again, were almost universally pleasant and positive. Something else that's glaringly obvious from Vegas and back is the worker shortage; it's real and it's bad. The people who are working are trying, you can tell…but there just aren't enough of them, anywhere. Wait times are forever, lines are long, service is slow, and it's not incompetence, it's lack of bodies. At a couple restaurants in Vegas we noticed long wait times to get tables with entire sections of tables empty; being the curious (nosey) types that we are, we asked if they were still limiting capacities or following protocols at these places and the answer was the same every time; absolutely not… “we just don't have enough people working.” As a fellow business owner, it was downright depressing to see so much potential revenue and income being squandered solely because there aren't enough people willing to work. None of that, however, is the bad news. People will get better at socializing again, and the workers will return, in time. The question is when, exactly, and that's where the bad news comes in. I stayed entirely ignorant for the first 10 days of our vacation; turning on no news, avoiding websites that didn't contain recipes or porn, and trying my best to cleanse my covid soaked brain which has been on overload for the past 15 months. I wasn't surprised when I dove back in to the happenings of the universe to see the endless stories about crime skyrocketing, racial tensions, heatwaves, and billionaires heading into outer space. Same stuff, different day for this decade so far. Come to think of it, I did turn on some news on the drive home from Vegas; Christina needed a nap, and I needed something that I actually had to concentrate on other than the endless landscape of sage and feral donkeys that make up Nevada, so I decided to listen to some news on satellite radio since it would at least hold my attention, and I knew I couldn't hide from it forever. I heard the current Surgeon General of the United States, Vice Admiral Vivek H. Murthy in an interview talking about the Delta variant strain of the Covid virus. If you've bene fortunate enough to miss it, the Delta strain is the lasts mutation of Covid and it's a doozy; stronger, more transferrable, and shutting much of the world down yet again. The Olympics in Japan will now have no spectators thanks to yet another state of emergency in that country thanks to Covid. But our Surgeon General didn't take the bait. In fact, he was on to present brand new data that shows that all three of the vaccines available in the United States are resistant to the Delta Variant. He made it a point to say that if you're vaccinated, you are safe from all forms of covid and can't spread it, so there's no need to wear a mask at anytime. He obviously also made his pitch for others to get vaccinated, but did so in a way that acknowledged they should do so only if they choose, and to protect themselves. I thought to myself “well that was refreshing. Some actual science, logic, and common sense from a public health official.”So here's the bad news; along with a question. As I dove all the way back in to prepping for the show and reading, I found story after story ginning up as much fear as possible about the Delta variant, the coming fall and cooler weather, and expert after expert saying mask mandates need to be re-instated in the United States. Why? You ask…because despite actual data after 7 months of vaccinating half of America's entire population showing that the vaccines prevent the spread of Covid, people are just making things up again. One of the biggest lunatics since the start of the pandemic has been a guy named Christopher Murray, the director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, whose models and predictions have been wrong from the beginning, yet still has a job and is labeled as an “expert.” Despite the evidence presented by the Surgeon General, Murray is demanding mask mandates be re-instated because there is no doubt in his mind that vaccinated people are spreading the Delta variant. That's an actual quote…no data at all whatsoever, just his belief. https://www.businessinsider.com/covid-expert-vaccinated-people-can-spread-the-delta-variant-2021-7https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/08/us-heading-for-dangerous-fall-with-surge-in-delta-covid-cases-and-return-of-indoor-mask-mandates.html?__source=androidappshare Now, mind you, the debate over masks is over. They are the greatest thing on planet Earth and if you question that you are a flat-earth, Holocaust denier. Period, shut your mouth, that's SCIENCE. And of course, for some reason, freedom is not a topic allowed either. Despite the fact that this is still barely the United States, you can't for a second point out that people have a right to choose not to take a medicine they don't want. As the almighty Dr. Fauci said last week “get over it.” Yes, that's a direct quote too. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/anthony-fauci-republicans-covid-vaccine-b1880427.html For the love of God don't even think about invoking the fact that about two-thirds of eligible Americans are at least partially vaccinated, and of the other third we know statistically that half of them have had Covid and have anti-bodies, meaning that we have achieved herd immunity. My God…that might mean that life can fully go back to normal. And don't even think about pointing out that Johns Hopkins University, one of the most respected throughout this pandemic, is leading the way saying that we have herd immunity and it's time to help the rest of the world get there and let America live. Shutup…SCIENCE. https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2021/june/johns-hopkins-professor-dr-marty-makary-to-news-the-pandemic-is-really-over So here's the question that goes with the bad news…actually questions… Will we see parts of the country re-enact mask mandates by fall (this seems like an obvious yes to me, but discuss and let me know) How will the nation react? How will the half of the country I spent the last two weeks with respond to being told we're going back? There's the part of me that demands we just look to the recent past and remember how so many so willingly submitted to idiocy and that they will again, but there's also the part of me that says enough of us, and our businesses, are fed up with this and will demand to finally live…normally…with the virus. It's no news flash that we're a more divided nation than at any other time in my life, and this next attempt at slowing down, impeding, or stopping our lives could be calamitous. To end on an attempted more positive note, let's hope that enough of us have shown with our actions and our pocketbooks our desire to return to normal, and that enough people have taken notice and won't try, yet again, to restrict us from doing so.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our guest today was more productive during COVID than most. She doubled down on connections with her friends and wrote a book on the s*** that adults never taught us growing up... Titled, "S*** Adults Never Taught Us". We've got Natasha Sattler on the show!We go deep on the concept of connection. How it is a human need and we need to destigmatize feeling lonely (because it's normal). And how it is possible to be in a room full of people and still feel alone.Seeing anxiety as a "signal light" of something we need to address in our life. And instead of addressing the surface symptom, going DEEP.Why Natasha believes we should destigmatize the concept of addiction (because we've all got em'). And the power of bringing awareness to these things that we do habitually to emotionally regulate.How many of us never learned to "protect our peace" growing up. Why we don't really "fall" in love but actually "choose" love daily. And how to tell the difference between "love" and "infatuation".By the way, I reference the book Together by Vivek H. Murthy in the pod. Here is a link to the book! To connect with Natasha:Buy her book, S*** Adults Never Taught Us - https://shitadultsnevertaughtus.com/ Instagram - @shitadultsnevertaughtus

Relationships. They are critical for our mental health and they are how organizations succeed. Yet, many of us struggle to build solid connections. David Bradford and Carole Robin are the authors of CONNECT: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family, Friends and Colleagues. They join Kevin to discuss the importance of building exceptional relationships or at least moving along the continuum. There is a risk of being vulnerable. Yet, when we show up as ourselves (in an appropriate way), we have more impact. As a leader, we need to recognize feedback is a gift. We need to be willing to ask for, as well as offer help, so we can all behave in our best interest.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has led to the need for sheltering at home and practicing social distancing. We are physically separated from loved ones and our interactions with others have greatly reduced. These decreases in our social interactions are likely to lead to more loneliness. However, Americans were lonely before the pandemic. Shasta Nelson who wrote Friendships don't just happen identified 5 circles of connectedness: contact, common, confirmed, community, and committed friends. She distinguish these circles by the level of intimacy, frequency, and consistency of contact. Let's discuss loneliness and what we can do. Holt-Lunstad, J., Smith, T.

Dr. Vivek Murthy — Former Surgeon General on Combatting COVID-19, Loneliness, and More | Brought to you by NutriBullet and Trello.“All of us, regardless of what stage of life we’re at, we’ve got three basic needs: we all want to know that we matter, we want to be seen for who we are, and we want to know that we’re loved.” — Dr. Vivek MurthyDr. Vivek H. Murthy (@vivek_murthy, vivekmurthy.com) served as the 19th Surgeon General of the United States between 2014-2017. As the Vice Admiral of the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, he commanded a uniformed service of 6,600 public health officers globally. During his tenure, Dr. Murthy launched the TurnTheTide campaign, catalyzing a movement among health professionals to address the nation’s opioid crisis. He also issued the first Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health, calling for expanded access to prevention and treatment and for recognizing addiction as a chronic illness, not a character flaw.In 2017, Dr. Murthy focused his attention on chronic stress and loneliness as prevalent problems that have profound implications for health, productivity, and happiness. He has co-founded a number of organizations: VISIONS, an HIV/AIDS education program in India; Swasthya, a community health partnership in rural India training women as health providers and educators; software company TrialNetworks; and the grassroots physicians organization Doctors for America.Since leaving government service, Dr. Murthy has continued to focus on loneliness and social connection. His book Together: the Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World will be published this spring by Harper Collins.Please enjoy! This episode is brought to you by NutriBullet.

In this episode we explore why we are lonely, and what we can do about giving 3 (that maybe could have been 4) useful tips. You can buy Big Talk cards here Create Joy Challenge This week's challenge is to figure out where you are lonely in your life, and make a connection. Some ideas are those mentioned above… plan a date, invite a friend to lunch, call a friend, plan a party, talk to a stranger. And if the person you tried to connect just couldn’t this time, don’t be discouraged. Try someone else. 3 out of 4 people want to hang out with someone today, if only virtually… You can be that person.

We live in the most technologically connected age in the history of civilization, yet rates of loneliness have doubled since the 1980s.” - former Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy, MD, Harvard Business Review “The only thing keeping you from being happy is the belief that you are alone.” - Anna Draper (Mad Men) Satan works hard to isolate us and tell us we are the only one experiencing them. - Sharon Eubank “We all have much more in common than we have difference. I would say that about people all over the world. They don’t know how much common that they have. - Ernest Gaines “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”- Hebrews 13:2 Cover Photo by ActionVance on Unsplash --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/createjoypodcast/message
