Warren offers a fresh perspective on captives, emphasizing how independent agents can add value by helping their clients save money and increase profitability. With practical insights, they discuss the benefits of captives, the right clients for this model, and how agents can monetize their expertise by advising clients on alternative risk transfer solutions. David and Warren also share personal stories, including their shared love of barbecue, which adds a light-hearted touch to the discussion. The episode sheds light on the educational resources Captive Coalition offers to help agents learn the ropes of captives and how they can take control of their clients' insurance costs in a way that's both profitable and sustainable. Key Highlights: Understanding Captives Warren explains how captive insurance works, breaking down complex terms and providing agents with tools to help their clients understand the benefits of risk-sharing and self-insurance. The Value of Risk Management They discuss the importance of risk management and training, especially when it comes to loss history and how it directly impacts the success of a captive program. The Right Fit for Captives Not all businesses are suited for captives. Warren outlines the key traits that make a business a good candidate, including a solid risk management track record and a willingness to take on some risk.

Today we have the second installment of our interview with Dr. Michael A. Schmidt, the founder, CEO, and Chief Scientific Officer of Sovaris Aerospace, a company focused on assessments and solutions applied to humans in space and extreme environments on Earth. In today's interview, we talk to Michael about NASA's plans to send humans to Mars and build permanent colonies on the Moon and Mars. We also talk to Michael about his recent book, “Building a Space-Faring Civilization,” which addresses the challenges of civilian spaceflight and the construction of space settlements. In part one of our interview, Episode 182, we talked with Michael about his pioneering work in the field of precision medicine and how he has used it to improve the cognitive and physical performance of astronauts as well as NBA, NFL players and Special Operations forces. In addition to his work with Sovaris, Michael also is a professor of aerospace medicine at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine, one of the few programs in the U.S. that offers a medical residency in aerospace medicine. Show notes: [00:03:00] Dawn picks up our interview from where we left off in part one, discussing the Human Research Program for Civilian Spaceflight. She goes on to mention that Chris Mason at Cornell University has a biobank of 1,500 samples across 22 astronauts and seven missions, and that these samples will lead to deeper insights on the effects of spaceflight on humans. Dawn switches gears to ask Michael about the cognitive and physical challenges of spaceflight over long duration missions. [00:13:03] Following up on the cognitive challenges of long duration spaceflight, Ken mentions that the hippocampus, the primary memory center of the brain, has a relatively low radiation threshold compared to other tissues in the brain. Ken asks Michael to touch on the vulnerability of specialized brain tissues to radiation, particularly in the context of a long duration spaceflight to Mars. [00:21:53] Ken mentions that it is understood that the APOE4/4 genotype is associated with impaired cognitive performance under certain circumstances and an elevated risk of dementia. While it is currently unknown whether APOE4/4 has any correlation of increased risk associated with cognitive impact resultant from environmental exposure due to spaceflight, Ken highlights the concern with sending APOE4/4-positive astronauts on long duration spaceflights without knowing the risks. [00:29:26] Ken notes the worsened cognitive impacts resultant from medical radiation, and while therapeutic radiation is different than radiation experienced by astronauts, these results give some indication of the effects astronauts might experience. [00:33:27] Dawn mentions that we recently had planetary scientist and director of NASA's Haughton-Mars project, Pascal Lee, on the podcast, who explained his view that since there are so many engineering and biological challenges with going to Mars, we should take a more measured approach to a Mars mission, perhaps even beginning with a roundtrip to Mars rather than landing on our first visit. Dawn asks Michael what his thoughts are on this approach. [00:37:29] Ken shifts the discussion to the subject of one of Mars' moons, Phobos, and its potential role in a Mars mission. [00:40:30] Dawn pivots to talk about Michael's Book “Building a Space-Faring Civilization: Advancing the Renaissance of Science, Medicine and Human Performance in Civilian Spaceflight.” Dawn asks Michael to talk about the chapter concerning the question of space radiation from the standpoint of precision medicine. [00:55:12] Dawn asks Michael to talk about the lack of appreciation people have for the fact that a Mars mission would be the most dangerous thing we've ever done. [00:59:06] Ken mentions that Michael has worked with a lot of organizations, including Space X, which has a program, the Space X Mars Colonization Program,
In this episode, Aaron discusses his book 'The Sovereign Child' and his unique approach to parenting, which is influenced by libertarian philosophy and the ideas of David Deutsch. Stupple emphasizes the importance of understanding children's reasons for their behavior rather than imposing authoritarian discipline. He advocates for a parenting style that maximizes freedom and autonomy while still providing guidance and support. The conversation also explores the importance of allowing children to make their own choices, particularly regarding food and screen time. He emphasizes the need for parents to create an engaging environment that fosters autonomy while also ensuring safety. The discussion further covers the balance between providing structure and allowing freedom, the misconceptions surrounding screen time, and the critical role of trust in parent-child relationships.Takeaways

What if stress isn’t the enemy… but the training ground? In this sneak peek of our powerful conversation with former SAS soldier and leadership expert Tim Curtis, we unpack the real role of stress in our lives—and how it can actually help our kids grow. Tim reveals the four essential layers of resilience every child (and adult) needs to thrive—and the surprisingly simple shifts that build strength from the inside out. This episode will change the way you see stress—and empower you to raise kids who can do hard things. KEY POINTS: Stress is not always bad – the right amount (as explained by the Yerkes-Dodson Law) boosts performance and growth. Avoidance reinforces anxiety – but action activates growth. Emotions are signals, not enemies – they give us guidance if we listen. The 4 Layers of Resilience: Mind – mindset, mindfulness, meditation Body – sleep, diet, exercise Social – support systems and connection Professional – competence, confidence, contribution (including parenting as a profession) Building resilience is less about shielding kids and more about supporting them as they stretch and grow. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: "There’s no triumph without trial."– Dr Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED: Tim Curtis’s upcoming book: Building Resilient Kids Yerkes-Dodson Law (on stress and performance) Happy Families resources: happyfamilies.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Normalise stress – Talk to your kids about stress as something useful, not something to avoid. Teach emotion awareness – Help your child understand emotions as helpful signals. Strengthen all four layers – Encourage routines that support body, mind, relationships, and purpose. Model resilience – Let your kids see you navigating difficulty with action, not avoidance. Lean into the hard stuff – Gently support your child through challenges instead of rescuing them from discomfort. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to ADHD-ish! In today's episode, I sit down with my friend, author, writer, and ADHD coach, Dave Greenwood, for another honest, thought-provoking conversation—this time exploring the powerful lessons of The Courage to Be Disliked, a book rooted in the teachings of 19th-century psychotherapist Alfred Adler. While not specifically an ADHD book, Dave shares how this book packs a punch of wisdom, challenging beliefs around people-pleasing and how ADHD rejection sensitivity at work connects to ADHD burnout and our endless need for approval.We tackle the tricky balance between accepting yourself as you are and believing you can change, as well as the incredible (if not a little controversial) freedom that comes with having the courage to be disliked. If you've ever found yourself spiraling over a colleague's tone in Slack or questioning whether your boss thinks you're incompetent, this conversation about ADHD rejection sensitivity will hit different.Top 3 takeaways for anyone navigating work or life with ADHD (or just being human):You are not responsible for how others feel. Adler's “separation of tasks” is a game-changer—do your part authentically, but let go of trying to control what others think or feel about you.You can change—if you want to. It's easy to blame your ADHD or circumstances (hello, fixed mindset!), but the real magic starts when you open yourself to possibility, even if change is slow and non-linear.All problems are (ultimately) relational. Whether you're late to a meeting or starting a business, our challenges almost always revolve around other humans. Building healthier boundaries and self-acceptance opens the door to genuine connection—and some serious peace of mind.Dave Greenwood is a repeat guest and friend of the ADHD-ish podcast, known for his authenticity and sense of humor. He is the host of the Overcoming Distractions podcast and author of two popular books on living with ADHD. Though Dave jokingly calls himself a “welding school flunk-out,” he brings a wealth of lived experience, professional insight, and a pragmatic approach to living well with ADHD, especially for the self-employed

In this episode, we sit down with Mathias Madsen, CEO of HolePunch, and take a wild ride through the cutting edge of peer-to-peer JavaScript development. Mathias shares his journey from accidentally discovering JavaScript in college to becoming a prolific contributor with over 1,500 open source modules. His passion? Building decentralized, peer-to-peer systems where JavaScript isn't just for the browser—it powers the entire stack.We dive deep into how HolePunch is reimagining application distribution with their Pair system—essentially turning peer-to-peer into a first-class citizen for distributing full applications, not just files. No hosting, no servers — just apps shared directly, BitTorrent-style. And because packaging and distributing Node-based apps can be painfully complex, they took things a step further by building a new runtime: Bear.js.Bear is refreshingly "bare": it strips away the heavy, opinionated APIs bundled into Node or Deno, leaving just the JavaScript core and a powerful module system. What's revolutionary here is Bear's ability to run the same codebase across desktop, mobile, and even tiny embedded devices—swapping out engines like V8, JavaScriptCore, or JerryScript depending on the platform's needs. This allows Mathias' team to write backend logic once, share it across all platforms, and iterate at lightning speed.Key takeaways:-Peer-to-peer can go far beyond media sharing — it's being used for full app distribution.-Bear.js decouples JavaScript from specific platforms, creating a universal backend that just works anywhere.-Modular design isn't just a philosophy — it's the secret to HolePunch's rapid development pace.-The combination of React Native for UI and Bear.js for backend creates an insanely productive development pipeline, fully cross-platform.If you're into JavaScript, peer-to-peer tech, or just love hearing about developers breaking the mold, this one's for you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/javascript-jabber--6102064/support.

Welcome back to Together at the Top, where Nick is thrilled to have Elliott Dutro, Vice President at the Northern California based BEVL Group, join him for a highly impactful conversation here today. This episode isn't just about money, though financial well being is front and center. It's a deep exploration of how finding the right financial advisor, someone with mentor-like qualities, can shape not just your portfolio but your entire life. They discuss the journey into the financial world, the critical nature of trust in an advisor-client relationship, and what truly underpins a successful life and career - important stuff. The conversation unpacks the idea that a financial professional is much more than a "stock jockey," they're a personal board chairperson, guiding through life's financial complexities with wisdom gathered from countless client experiences. Elliott shares his unexpected path to becoming a financial advisor, from an inspiring high school algebra class to understanding the human side of financial decisions during the mortgage crisis. They touch on identifying the right career path, the power of good relationships, and the often unseen traits, like impulse control, that lead to lasting success, as well as how understanding all aspects of a client's life, not just their assets, is absolutely fundamental. Episode Highlights: The immense value of a trusted financial advisor as a guide for life's financial journey. Elliott Dutro's personal story of finding his passion in finance and helping people achieve their goals. Building profound trust: a cornerstone for any successful advisor client dynamic and how it's earned. Beyond asset management: why a holistic understanding of a client's life is crucial for top tier financial advice. Identifying "right fit" careers and how being in one dramatically impacts personal fulfillment and success. Key traits of successful individuals, including a sense of purpose, feeling "behind," and strong impulse control. The impact of mentors, both positive and negative, especially those found in unexpected places, like clients. Navigating challenges like work life balance and the importance of a strong personal foundation to avoid burnout. Key Takeaways: "Your financial advisor is the chairperson of your personal board of directors." "Setting people up in the right career is a really critical part of establishing that foundation for a great life." The quality of my advice is limited by my knowledge of the client's entire situation." "There's nothing more critical to an advisor-client relationship than having that trust because sometimes the advice that's given is counterintuitive." "Relationship management, basic financial management, and career selection. When you have those things put together... That's eighty percent of success." "I think if I had to identify one thing that held people back from reaching their full potential, it would be a lack of openness and vulnerability with themselves and with others." "It's so important to build a good personal life so that your professional life doesn't become a default escape from your personal life." "A great firm cannot make up for a subpar advisor."

What makes someone trust you enough to follow you, buy from you, or even just listen? In the noisy world of personal branding, it's easy to assume you need a slick image or a viral strategy to break through. But that's not what people are looking for.
