In Episode 124 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast, I'm joined by sports dietitian and multi-sport athlete, Alex Larson, RD LD, to explore two important topics: triathlon nutrition and body composition for endurance athletes. We dive into questions like what makes fueling for triathlon uniquely challenging, and whether or not endurance athletes should directly work on body composition goals during a training cycle (or, ever). Key timestamps:8:53: Triathlon nutrition34:20: Body composition and endurance trainingAlex and I discuss:How fueling strategies differ across swimming, cycling, and runningCommon nutrition mistakes triathletes makeHow to build a solid pre-race meal, why fueling on the bike should be a “mobile buffet," and other race-day logisticsTroubleshooting fueling and other challenges during long-course triathlonsWhether or not endurance athletes should pursue body comp goals during training (Alex has a slightly different take on this one)Which types of athletes should not be working on body comp changes Why a performance and health-first approach should guide nutrition decisionsHeads up – we talk a lot about body comp for athletes in this episode, and it is a very nuanced topic. While "getting leaner" is a common goal for many active people, I want to be clear: your health, performance, and worth do NOT depend on you being "lean," however you define that. It's okay to want to change your body composition, and for some athletes, this can be done safely in certain situations. It's also okay (and for some athletes, very necessary) to NOT chase body comp goals, ever. So please take care of yourself, and remember - your body is meant to change over time.

Key Takeaways: Reintroducing Nicodemus, whose character grapples with connecting Old Testament prophecies with Jesus's actions, adding a layer of mystery and fulfillment to the narrative. Laura pointedly discusses the discomforting depiction of Mary Magdalene's abduction, expressing concerns over the choice of storyline and its implications. Ben observes that the sympathetic portrayal of Judas Iscariot challenges typical viewers' perceptions and raises questions about his true motivations. The episode is marked by the significant roles of women who influence key biblical figures, hinting at their possible contributions to the narrative outcomes. The episode offers fewer humorous moments than previous ones, reflecting the rising tension and gravity as the series progresses toward critical events in Jesus's life. Notable Quotes: "Nicodemus's scene does have that sort of 'serial killer movie' vibe, yet it's not." – Ben McEachen "To think that she would just trust that that's okay is just… no, you just would not." – Laura Bennett on Mary Magdalene's abduction "Because I've seen too much… because I haven't seen enough." – A line portraying Judas's conflicted struggles. "Jesus can't make the funny little comments that he did before because his emotional state is different." – Laura Bennett "The wives behind all of these figures…it reminds you of the context around these men in leadership." – Laura Bennett Resources: Hope 103.2 Website - Check out more episodes of "Following the Chosen" and related content. Tune in to the full episode for an insightful discussion that pushes the boundaries of conventional biblical narratives, providing a fresh perspective through the lens of "The Chosen."

Modern society loves the concept of ‘saving time' – but at what cost? There's nothing wrong with streamlining and efficiency, but today Meagan and Sarah push back against the notion that time-saving strategies – and products – unilaterally bring more calm to our days. Instead we look at ways to think about shifting time to our advantage, batching tasks and opting out to free up schedule space, simplifying rather than optimizing, and finding our own peace with our relationship to time.This is Part 2 of a three-part series about Time running this spring.

Some days we're the “Sure, why not?” mom, and other days we're the “Because I said so” mom - and often we lean more into one side than the other. Meagan and Sarah unpack what the Yes Mom / No Mom binary really means, the why behind our wiring, how it affects our kids, and how it's not always so black and white. We look at the balance between freedom and structure, and remind you there are many ways to be yourself and be a great mom at the same time.

Raising creative kids isn't just about paintbrushes and piano lessons—it's also about noticing how they think, solve problems, and dream up deas. Both Meagan and Sarah come from creative backgrounds and hope to raise creative kids, but we've learned that creativity shows up in unexpected places—from storytelling and party planning to building weird contraptions out of couch cushions.

How can radical transparency redefine leadership in architecture?In this episode of Practice Disrupted, Evelyn Lee reconnects with Robert Yuen, CEO and co-founder of Monograph, to explore what he calls radical transparency - a bold leadership approach that challenges firm owners to rethink how they share information, build trust, and lead with clarity. Drawing on his experience building a tech company tailored for architecture firms, Robert brings a refreshingly candid perspective on money, management, and culture in practice.The conversation dives into why many firm leaders are hesitant to talk about financial performance, pay, and project metrics—and how that fear contributes to stress, misalignment, and missed opportunities. Robert makes the case that leaders can (and should) develop cultures of openness, where accountability is shared, and trust becomes a competitive advantage. From pay equity to overtime, profit sharing to performance metrics, he explains why transparency isn't just good ethics—it's good business.Together, Evelyn and Robert also explore what defines effective leadership today. They contrast outdated models centered on authority and control with modern approaches rooted in empathy, delegation, and adaptability. Robert shares how Monograph is using AI to reduce time spent on repetitive tasks and empower architects to better manage their work—and their businesses.“I believe that if you're not transparent about how the business is doing, you're putting all the pressure on yourself as a leader—and you're missing the opportunity to engage your team in solving problems with you. When people understand how their work affects the bottom line, they show up differently. They become invested.” – Robert YuenThe episode concludes with reflections on mentorship, emotional intelligence, and building teams for life, not just for business. Robert offers advice for young professionals seeking growth in firms that align with their values, and challenges current leaders to examine whether their culture fosters retention, or simply clings to control.Guest: Robert Yuen is the CEO and co-founder of Monograph, a project management and practice operations platform built specifically for architects. Trained as an architect himself, Robert has become a leading voice in the profession for bringing data, transparency, and business strategy into practice. His work at Monograph empowers firms to better understand their performance, improve workflows, and embrace the tools and mindsets needed for long-term success.Is This Episode for You?This episode is for you if: ✅ You're a firm leader rethinking how you run your practice ✅ You're tired of running projects and teams on “gut feel” alone ✅ You're interested in building a more open, financially literate culture ✅ You want to explore how AI and data can support better leadershipWhat have you done to take action lately?
