Inflammation isn't always the enemy, it's your body's defense system. But when it gets out of control, it can silently drive arthritis, heart disease, gut issues, and even mental health struggles. In this episode, we break down what the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) actually shows, why plant protein and fiber lower inflammation, and how animal protein may raise it.Discover the foods with the strongest anti-inflammatory effects from herbs and spices like turmeric and oregano, to olive oil, nuts, seeds, oily fish, berries, and polyphenol-rich vegetables. Learn why balance is key, and how simple daily habits (movement, stress management, sleep) impact your inflammation levels just as much as diet.We also unpack why the Mediterranean diet remains one of the best-studied anti-inflammatory eating patterns worldwide.Rupy AujlaListen to the full episode⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch the full episode on YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠***This episode is sponsored by: NOWATCH: Health tracking reimaginedKnow your body, trust yourself.15% off with code LWBW15 at nowatch.com***If you enjoyed this episode you might also like:How to Increase Protein in Your Diet and Why It Matters for Longevity & Hormone Health | Dr Rupyhttps://youtu.be/AySFUeR1pw8***Sign up to Sarah's Compassionate Cure newsletter: Science Simplified, Health Humanised.

Heart disease has remained the world's leading cause of death for generations, yet despite new medical procedures and ever-stronger drugs, the numbers continue to rise. Could it be that we've misunderstood how the heart actually works? Today's guest, Dr. Stephen Hussey, sits down to share his perspective. Hit play to find out: The interconnectivity of the heart and metabolism. What light and structured water are, and how they impact health. How to change your lifestyle from a biochemical point of view.  Contributing factors to chronic illness. Dr. Hussey is a board-certified chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, and type 1 diabetic. He has spent his entire life studying the heart — not just to help others, but to protect himself from becoming a statistic. After suffering a ‘widowmaker' heart attack in his 30's, Dr. Hussey leaned on years of research to create his own recovery plan… In his book, Understanding the Heart: Surprising Insights into the Evolutionary Origins of Heart Disease and Why It Matters, Dr. Hussey challenges conventional wisdom, exploring everything from the fundamental drivers of circulation to the role of oxidative stress to the myths about cholesterol and fat. You can stay up-to-date with Dr. Hussey on his website, ResourceYourHealth.com, and on social media @drstephenhussey.

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community So you’ve built wealth in real estate and you’re approaching retirement… now what? This week, we’re exploring the different ways property investors might think about turning a portfolio into retirement income. Should you sell and redeploy into higher-yield assets? Refinance and draw on equity? Pay down debt to free up cashflow? Or move some capital into other assets for flexibility? Instead of theory, we’ll treat this like a live portfolio strategy session - walking through scenarios and considering how the balance between growth, income, leverage, and risk can shift as you move from the accumulation years into retirement. What we’ll cover: When selling makes sense vs when to hold How refinancing, restructures, and top-ups could help fund retirement Why debt strategy in retirement often flips the script from the accumulation phase Balancing cashflow, equity growth, and risk in later life Whether you’re 5 years away or 25, this is exploring ways to build wealth that doesn’t just look good on paper, it funds the lifestyle you actually want.

What if imposter syndrome isn't about you—but about a system designed to keep women small?In this powerful episode of Risky Conversations, I speak with Sara Dean—keynote speaker, certified facilitator, and executive coach—to unpack the truth behind imposter syndrome, why women are socialized to doubt themselves, and how reclaiming self-trust changes everything.Sara shares her journey from personal trainer to executive coach for leaders at Amazon, Microsoft, and beyond, weaving in stories of speaking up at work, helping women shed the need to “shrink,” and building a leadership brand rooted in authenticity instead of performance. Together, we address anger as a valid leadership tool, the essential role of HRT in restoring balance and focus for professional women over 35, and how to ask better questions that open new possibilities.If you've ever felt like you had to “do more” just to belong—or wondered how to stand firmly in your own power—this conversation will resonate deeply.Mentioned in the podcast: Sara Dean's website: saradean.comShameless Leadership podcast: saradean.com/podcastSara on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saradeanspeaks/Jamie Lee's website: www.jamieleecoach.com Connect with Jamie Lee on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leejieunjamie/Timestamps:0:00 – Meet Sara Dean: Leadership Coach & Speaker1:09 – Risky Conversations: Speaking Up at Work7:18 – From Fitness to Executive Coaching10:44 – What Is a Leadership Brand (and Why It Matters)17:53 – Client Story: Humor Changes the Room23:35 – The Truth About Imposter Syndrome33:00 – Anger, HRT & Reclaiming Self-Trust48:14 – Final Takeaways & Where to Find SaraText me your thoughts on this episode!Enjoy the show?

Google Search still holds about 90% of global search volume as of mid‑2025, but change is underway as more users begin turning to AI. AI search is rewriting the rules of discovery, and PR needs to adapt. With ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity each scraping different corners of the web, the old focus on big-name publications is no longer enough. The most influential sources may now be niche review sites, specialized forums, or content hubs you have never pitched. Knowing what each Large Language Model (LLM) values and how to optimize for it, is becoming a core PR skill.In this episode, we explore how Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is reshaping PR. From the rise of “dual websites” for humans and bots to the ethical tensions between LLMs and media outlets, we discuss how PR teams can rethink targeting, adapt content, and position clients for visibility in an AI‑first world. Listen For5:49 Dual Websites: One for Humans, One for Machines8:39 LLMs as New Media Channels11:38 What AI Tools Scrape (and Why It Matters)14:45 Can Bots Get Past Paywalls?

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community What happens when trust in money dies? History shows it’s never gentle. From Rome’s slow debasement of silver to Weimar’s wheelbarrows of paper, every fiat collapse follows the same pattern: debasement → recognition → flight → failure. In this episode, we explore The Great Melt-Up — the moment when the illusion of stability shatters, and people rush to exchange paper promises for anything real: bread, fuel, gold, real estate, even Bitcoin. We’ll trace the cycle across centuries, uncover why inflation isn’t an accident but deliberate policy, and explain how it flips the script — savers lose, debtors win, and wealth shifts silently but brutally. Most importantly, we’ll zoom in on today: Why some currencies collapse overnight… and others rot slowly for centuries The hidden laws that drive people to hoard, dump, or flee money when trust breaks How gold, property, and even debt can flip from liabilities to lifelines in a melt-up The eerie pattern linking Rome’s denarius, Weimar’s marks, and today’s dollars This isn’t theory. It’s a timeless sequence — and it’s happening now. Fiat is the guillotine. Assets are the ladder. The choice is yours. See you on the inside.

Always do your own research and seek independent professional advice before making any investment or financial decisions. – SERIES: Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It) Have you noticed that, no matter how hard you work, it feels harder to get ahead? Wages look bigger, property prices keep climbing, and the headlines say Australia is richer than ever. But for many households, the reality is the opposite — pay rises don’t stretch, saving feels impossible, and the dream of home ownership slips further away. In this new mini-series — Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It) — we expose the hidden forces behind the squeeze: from the illusion of prosperity created by money supply growth, to the widening divides between owners and non-owners, to the strategies you can use to protect yourself and build real wealth today. Over five episodes, we’ll peel back the layers: The Illusion of Prosperity — why this “boom” is really a squeeze. The Crack-Up Boom — what happens when trust in money itself starts to collapse? The New Divide — who wins and who loses when inflation silently redistributes wealth? How to Protect Yourself — the new playbook for building real wealth in an age of erosion. Beyond Money — why true prosperity isn’t just financial, and how to live well now. The old rules no longer work: work hard, save diligently, and expect security. The new rules are here. And in this series, we’ll show you how to use them to your advantage. -- RESOURCES TO HELP: Looking for a team to partner with you in your portfolio building journey?

Oracle's stock recently jumped 37% — and the driver wasn't just revenue growth or earnings per share. The market reacted to one SaaS metric: RPO (Remaining Performance Obligations), which surged 359% year-over-year. In episode #312, Ben Murray explains the RPO metric, how it's calculated, and why investors are paying close attention to it. From Oracle's $455B backlog to Snowflake's disclosure practices, you'll learn why this metric is becoming more important for both public and private SaaS companies. If you want to improve your investor metrics and maximize your company valuation, RPO should be on your radar. What You'll Learn What RPO is (Remaining Performance Obligations) and how it's calculated. Why RPO is a leading indicator of future revenue and business model stickiness. How Oracle's massive RPO growth drove its stock surge. How public companies like Snowflake define and disclose RPO. Why private SaaS companies should start tracking RPO alongside ARR, MRR, and retention. How RPO supports investor confidence in fundraising and exit conversations. Why It Matters for SaaS Operators & Investors Investor metrics such as RPO create visibility into future revenue streams. RPO growth signals stronger customer commitment and drives higher valuations. Private SaaS companies can use RPO as a complement to retention metrics when preparing for fundraising. Resources Mentioned

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community We’re told Australia is richer than ever. GDP is booming. Wages look bigger. Property prices keep climbing. But if that’s the case, why does it feel like you’re working harder just to stay in place? This is Part 1 of our new series — Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It). This week, we’re exploring The Illusion of Prosperity — the gap between what the numbers say and what households actually feel. We’ll uncover: Why 'economic growth' is more mirage than reality How individual prosperity has collapsed by 99% over the past six decades. Why pay rises don’t stretch like they used to. The housing paradox: unaffordable for new buyers, yet still a wealth rocket for owners.

The Inbox Series – 010 – What Captain Sandy Taught Me About Leadership (and Why It Matters for Your Brand) Leadership is one of the scariest parts of growing a fashion brand. How do you delegate without sounding bossy? Give feedback without crushing someone's confidence? Or step into being a “leader” when you've always seen yourself as a creative? This episode breaks down what good leadership really looks like — with lessons from my own experience working with different managers, plus a little inspiration from reality TV's most unlikely role model… Captain Sandy from Below Deck. Because you don't need to be loud, corporate or scary to lead. You just need to be calm, clear and kind. In This Episode: ✨ The fears founders secretly have about leading a team ✨ What I learned from my best (and worst) managers in fashion ✨ Why leadership is a skill, not a personality trait ✨ How to set boundaries with kindness ✨ Practical phrases you can use to lead with more confidence

You've probably been taught to believe you're better than other animals. But that story is wrong, and it's dangerous. NYU primatologist Christine Webb argues that human exceptionalism has blinded us to the intelligence all around us, and it's fueling today's biggest crises, from climate change to mass extinction. In her new book, The Arrogant Ape: The Myth of Human Exceptionalism and Why It Matters, Christine makes the case that humility —not hubris — may be our species' best survival strategy.

The SaaS Magic Number is one of the most Googled SaaS metric posts — but it's also one of the most misunderstood. In episode #310, Ben Murray explains what the SaaS Magic Number really measures, why investors care about it, and the benchmarks you should use to evaluate your own business model. From the formula (revenue growth vs. sales & marketing spend) to the nuances (why churn and expansion impact the metric), Ben shows SaaS operators how to avoid common pitfalls. You'll also hear the latest benchmark data from Ray Rike at Benchmarkit.ai, giving you investor-ready context for your next fundraising or valuation conversation. What You'll Learn: What the SaaS Magic Number is and how to calculate it. Why it's more than just a sales and marketing efficiency metric. The nuance: contraction, churn, and customer success also affect the number. Why ARR size and ACV segmentation are critical for accurate benchmarking. When the metric is most useful (short sales cycles, PLG) vs. when to be cautious (enterprise sales cycles). Why It Matters for SaaS Operators & Investors: The Magic Number is a widely used investor metric to gauge efficiency. Clean reporting builds confidence with investors and supports higher company valuations. Benchmarks by ARR and ACV provide a realistic picture of growth efficiency. Using the wrong interpretation can lead to bad decisions in finance strategy and fundraising.

Your running form doesn't break down because your body is weak—it breaks because your focus shatters first.Most runners think they have good form until they see their race day photos—hunched shoulders, shuffling feet, looking nothing like the smooth stride they practiced in training. The truth is your form doesn't break down because you're tired; it crumbles because your focus gives up first. In this episode, I'll reveal the hidden mental component that's sabotaging your race times and teach you five specific strategies to train your form to survive when your brain turns to mush. You'll discover why practicing perfect form when you're fresh is almost useless for race day, how to use fatigue-specific drills that actually translate to better race performance, and the mental cues that keep elite runners looking strong even when they're dying inside. This isn't about running prettier—it's about unlocking the speed you're already capable of but losing to preventable form breakdown.Key TakeawaysFatigue ruins your running form by making your stride shorter and less efficient, but this happens because your mental focus breaks down before your muscles truly give out.You can train your body to hold its form under fatigue by doing fast finishes to your runs, practicing a higher cadence, and strengthening your glutes and core.Your brain is your most powerful tool; using simple mental cues to reset your posture and focus can stop the panic that makes your form fall apart.Timestamps[00:20] What You'll Learn[01:01] What's the Mistake?[02:13] Five Steps to Fix Tired Form[04:51] Learn to Have Higher Cadence[05:47] Use This to Increase Your Cadence[06:16] Film Your Fatigued Form[06:58] Strengthen the Weak Links[07:44] Mental Reset Cues[08:30] Why It Matters[09:07] Use This to Fix Your FormLinks & Learnings

Episode Summary: As part of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast's Summer Content Series, this episode features a replay from Molly's former podcast, Live HAPPIER Longer. Originally episode 40, this conversation highlights the extraordinary story of Pat Gallant-Charette, a world-renowned open water swimmer who didn't even start training seriously until age 58.Pat's journey is a testament to what's possible when you stop letting age define your limits. From overcoming grief to chasing world records, Pat's story is filled with resilience, purpose, and bold reinvention. If you're feeling stuck, unsure, or like your time has passed, let this episode remind you: it hasn't.Whether you're working on reducing alcohol or simply trying to live with more intention, Pat's mindset offers a powerful dose of inspiration.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why Pat didn't begin serious athletic training until midlifeHow she faced fears and pursued open water swimming in her late 50sThe mental strength required to swim across oceansHow she reframed setbacks, including a near-complete Ocean's SevenWhy her journey embodies aging with optimism and purposeKey Quote:“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. Pat didn't just dream it—she dove in headfirst.”Why It Matters for Alcohol Minimalists:Just like Pat challenged her assumptions about age and limits, changing your relationship with alcohol often means questioning the beliefs you've held for years. Pat's story proves that big change is possible at any age and that our greatest chapters can begin later in life. Let it inspire your own path forward—whatever that looks like.Resources & Links:Free Resources from Molly: www.mollywatts.com/resourcesInternational Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame: www.imshof.orgConnect with Molly:Instagram: @alcoholminimalistWebsite: www.mollywatts.comNext Steps:If you've been telling yourself “I can't” or “it's too late,” let this episode be your nudge to reconsider. Change doesn't have an expiration date. It starts with belief—and one small step in the right direction.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community What happens when you throw billions of dollars at an asset that’s scarcer than gold? From October 2025, the Government is about to supercharge demand with its expanded Home Guarantee Scheme (HGS). Promoted as a way to help first-home buyers get into the market with just a 5% deposit, there’ll be no volume caps, no income caps, limited price caps — and the government will guarantee the risk for lenders. On the surface, this seems like a great thing for affordability - but independent modelling suggests this could pump $10–20 billion in fresh credit into the market in Year 1 alone, adding 20–40k extra buyers. And with housing supply already tight, that extra liquidity doesn’t create new homes — it pushes prices one way only… In this episode, we break down:* Why property’s scarcity matters, and how the stock-to-flow lens changes the conversation* Is real estate more scarce than gold?* What the new HGS actually is, and how it works* The likely impact of flooding billions into the housing market Whether you’re a first home buyer or not, this affects you.

.This is the second episode in Chanie Wilschanski's Six Money Leaks series, and it's all about a leak that quietly drains thousands from your school each year, schedule efficiency.Your payroll is your biggest expense, which means inefficiencies in your staffing schedule are some of the most expensive mistakes you can make. From unnecessary shift overlaps to inconsistent break coverage and directors constantly stepping into classrooms, the lack of a strategic coverage system can cost you tens of thousands annually, without you even realizing it.In this episode, Chanie shares real-world examples, including how closing a 20-minute daily overlap across 20 teachers saved one school nearly $28,000 a year. She also breaks down the systems and rhythms that create consistent coverage, protect teacher energy, and ensure directors can focus on leadership, not constant classroom coverage.If you're ready to end reactionary scheduling and install a predictable rhythm that protects both profitability and staff culture, this conversation is your blueprint.What You'll LearnWhy “coverage for the sake of coverage” is a profit leakHow to design schedules that serve your school's needs, not just individual preferencesThe impact of shift overlaps and how to eliminate them without hurting cultureHow schedule predictability reduces chaos and burnoutWhy break coverage is a culture issue, not just an operations taskThe high cost of directors covering classrooms, and how to stop itKey InsightsCoverage Must Be StrategicMore staff doesn't always mean better coverage. Without role clarity, ratio management, and coverage protocols, you're paying for bodies, not results.Small Overlaps Add Up to Big LeaksA 20-minute overlap between shifts across 20 staff members can cost nearly $30,000 a year, money that could be reinvested into your team and programs.Predictable Schedules Protect CultureWhen staff know their schedules weeks in advance, it reduces stress, improves retention, and prevents constant shift reshuffling.Break Coverage Is About TrustWhen teachers consistently return late from breaks, it erodes trust and damages classroom culture. Strict break coverage protocols protect relationships and morale.Directors Covering Classrooms Costs More Than You ThinkEvery hour a director spends in the classroom is an hour of leadership work undone, directly impacting profitability and long-term growth.Try This Instead: Schedule Efficiency SystemsAudit Shift Overlaps: Eliminate unnecessary double-pay time blocks.Standardize Break Coverage: Assign coverage roles and protect break start/end times.Create Predictable Schedules: Require advance time-off requests and manage peak request seasons.Build an Emergency Coverage Plan: Stop relying on directors as the default coverage solution.Memorable Quotes“Coverage for the sake of coverage is not strategic—it's expensive.”“If you're regularly stepping into classrooms, you're stealing from the school's profitability.”“A 20-minute overlap may feel small, but across your team, it's an entire salary lost.”Why It Matters for School LeadersStops payroll waste caused by poor schedulingReduces burnout and turnover with predictable rhythmsProtects your role as a leader by keeping you out of constant coverageStrengthens staff trust and school culture through consistencyImproves profitability without cutting quality or programmingResources & Next StepsAudit your schedule overlaps and calculate the annual costReview and update your break coverage...

Turn Underused Classrooms, Time Blocks, and Facilities Into Predictable Profit With Systems That LastThis episode kicks off Chanie Wilschanski's Six Money Leaks series, diving deep into the first profit drain most school leaders overlook: space optimization.Your school building's square footage is either making money or silently draining it. If your classrooms feel full but your budget is still tight, you may be missing out on hundreds, sometimes thousands, in unrealized revenue.Chanie shares real client stories where underutilized classrooms, missed extended care opportunities, and unused rooms were costing schools between $96,000 and $130,000 a year. More importantly, she breaks down the systems and rhythms that turn those gaps into sustainable income, without overloading teachers or sacrificing your school culture.Whether you lead an early childhood center or a private school, this conversation will help you stop making emotional space decisions and start using operational systems to create predictable, sustainable growth.What You'll LearnWhat space optimization really is, and what it's notHow to uncover hidden enrollment gaps that quietly drain revenueExtended care strategies that boost profit without exhausting your teamHow room licensing and usage flexibility can add thousands in monthly revenueUsing external rentals strategically without adding operational chaosThe systems and rhythms that keep your space working for you year after yearKey InsightsFeeling Full Isn't the Same as Being FullA school reporting 85% capacity was actually at 72%, a $96,000 annual revenue leak. Real data, not perception, should drive your enrollment strategy.Protecting Staff by Avoiding Enrollment Hurts EveryoneLimiting enrollment to “make it easier” on teachers reduces resources, which ultimately impacts their long-term stability.Extended Care and Tiered Pricing Unlock Prime Revenue BlocksCharging for early or late care, with systems to test and staff them, can turn unused time into high-value revenue.Room Licensing Flexibility Creates OpportunitiesRe-zoning or re-licensing underused rooms can meet demand and significantly increase monthly income.External Rentals Work When StructuredRenting space for community events or seasonal programs can be profitable if built into your operational rhythm, not as a one-off scramble.Try This Instead: The Space Optimization SystemsRoom-by-Room Enrollment Audit: Track licensed capacity vs. actual enrollment by room.Extended Care Revenue System: Run quarterly audits of arrival/departure patterns and pilot premium care offerings.Licensing Flexibility Process: Regularly review demand vs. licensing and pursue rezoning where profitable.External Rental Structure: Decide if rentals should be seasonal or ongoing, and set clear policies for use.Memorable Quotes“Every square foot in your building is either generating profit or stealing profit from you.”“Protecting staff by avoiding full enrollment is not protection—it's a slow drain on your entire school.”“Feeling full is not the same as being full. Data, not perception, should drive your space strategy.”Why It Matters for School LeadersStops revenue leaks caused by underutilized spaceBuilds operational systems that increase profit without overburdening staffProtects your school culture by aligning resources with sustainable growthCreates capacity to invest in your team, programming, and long-term stabilityResources & Next StepsRun a room-by-room enrollment audit to see where you're losing...

Was Queen Ranavalona I really the “Mad Queen of Madagascar”… or just a brilliant ruler smeared by colonial propaganda? In this episode of For the Love of History, we dive headfirst into one of the most misunderstood figures in African history—and it gets spicy. Queen Ranavalona has long been labeled a tyrant, a murderer, even a monster. But when you follow the paper trail (and by paper, we mean wildly biased missionary records), it becomes clear that the real madness was colonialism. You'll hear about: The actual history behind her so-called reign of terror How Eurocentric historians rewrote her legacy with a misogynist, colonialist pen Her fight to protect Malagasy sovereignty during the height of European imperialism And why context is everything when judging historical figures (especially women) So grab a bevvy, hop in the time machine, and prepare to rethink everything you thought you knew about Queen Ranavalona I.

In this episode of Pekingology, CSIS Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Jessica Batke, Senior Editor for Investigations at ChinaFile, and Laura Edelson, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Northeastern University. They discuss Jessica and Laura's new report "The Locknet: How China Controls Its Internet and Why It Matters," exploring how the government and internet platforms collaborate on censorship, how tensions between the CCP's political and economic goals play out online, and how Chinese censorship is changing the internet outside China. 

I'm joined once again by the brilliant David Roberts, co-founder of Mara Labs, for a deep dive into the metabolic health crisis and the surprising science behind real, sustainable wellness.

We also get into the critical role of muscle mass in regulating glucose, how fasting and autophagy rejuvenate mitochondria, and why walking may be the most underrated tool in the fight against obesity.Whether you're battling blood sugar issues or just looking for a cleaner, more empowered approach to wellness, this one's a must-listen.

In this solo episode, I'm diving into something we all run into: how to ask for help or feedback in a way that actually gets you what you need, and how to give focused, respectful feedback when someone else asks. We've all been there: you crowdsource advice and end up with a flood of tangents, venting, or random noise before you get anything useful. I break down why vague questions lead to scattered responses, share my C + B + F formula (Context + Boundaries + Format), and explain how small changes can improve the way we interact, collaborate, and support each other, whether online, in meetings, or in everyday life. Along the way, I share insights from Amanda Palmer, Adam Grant, Chris Voss, and Priya Parker, plus some relatable stories (including one about asking if anyone's been to the zoo, you'll laugh!). This episode is packed with actionable advice you can use right now to improve communication at work and beyond.

What Role Does Jordan Peterson Play in Shaping Young Men's Views on Masculinity?   Host Curtis Chang teams up with “founding friend” and New York Times columnist David French to unpack David's recent conversation with Jordan Peterson—and the crisis facing young men today. From mental health struggles to educational decline, David and Curtis take a hard look at what's shaping young male identity in modern America, including the outsized influence of figures like Peterson. They explore how political polarization, digital culture, and a loss of purpose are driving young men to extremes. Most importantly, they offer a redemptive vision: practical ways to cultivate virtuous masculinity through mentorship, community, and spiritual formation.   Donate to Redeeming Babel   Resources mentioned in this episode: David's column What's the Matter With Men?
