You're going to be a completely different person and we call that transformation. - Mark Divine   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE at wellnessforce.com/CURED   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 410 Commander as well as Founder of both SEALFIT and the Unbeatable Mind Academy, Mark Divine, returns to explore the concepts of the Kokoro Spirit, the Five Mountains of being a human being, how to overcome your core challenges by integrating practices from the Unbeatable Mind, and how to unlock positive neurodiversity.   How do we be a powerful human that's also peaceful?    Discover how to let go of shame and low energy vibrations to help you build an unbeatable mind and be a leader in your wellness tribe.  Paleovalley's Apple Cider Vinegar Complex Save 15% on your order with the code ‘JOSH' at wellnessforce.com/paleovalley Introducing a powerful organic blend of apple cider vinegar and four more gut & health supportive superfoods.

How you can resolve all of your past karma and generational trauma and patterns but it requires commitment to your training. Why the emotional component of meditation was missing when it was brought to Western society. How to begin removing the things, people, and obligations that are no longer serving you. The fact that pain and suffering is part of the experience of our spiritual selves having a physical experience while alive.   [1:07:00] Building Consistent Wellness Practices How physical training has become something that Mark loves to do and so it is a big part of his day-to-day life compared to what other people might do to also get the benefits of physical exercise. Why the mental and emotional parts of being actually don't take up a lot of time; you can take 20 minutes in the morning for breathing, meditation, and visualization each day. The incredible benefits of doing a little bit of wellness practices every day instead of doing something like 5 hours of it straight on a Saturday. People with Neurodiversity features may spend a lot of time trying to adjust to their work environment. They may need to manage their social impressions or find ways to block out distractions.   [1:11:30] Letting Go of Shame & Other Low Energy Vibrations Letting Go by David R. Hawkins Exploring the different levels of emotions and why the lowest vibration begins with shame.

When that day is over, it's like a metaphorical death. You're done with that day but you could be done with your life so go be happy. The only way to know that you had a life well lived is to commit to your evolution and to do the best you can every day. The more nuanced you become with your practice, it becomes every minute and then every second. Then it becomes every moment to moment... ...You become so present and so aware that every thought and emotion that comes up, every experience you have, every interaction you have is an opportunity ask, 'How can I use this moment to evolve and serve?' so that it becomes part of your everyday awareness and perpetual flow state." - Mark Divine   The Five Mountains of Wellness   "Wellness is a journey, not a destination. It is easy for people to fall off of the path when they hit those major obstacles and this is when the other mountains, Spiritual and Intuitional, come into play with the Physical, Mental, and Emotional. Acknowledge what is blocking you, lean into it but don't stop your other training. Keep going to the gym, journaling, eating healthy, and doing your box breathing practice. If you fall off your rituals, just get back on and continue the work." - Mark Divine   The Training of Unbeatable Mind     "The training of Unbeatable Mind is really powerful because when we train ourselves physically, mentally, and emotionally, what we're doing is working to connect and integrate all those physical aspects of the mind: the brain-brain, the heart-brain, the belly-brain, and the body-brain. Then we're also working simultaneously to expand our perceptions so that we begin to experience the mind independent of the body as well. Those are the first 3 of the 5 Mountains." - Mark Divine     Links From Today's Show  086 Creating The Unbeatable Mind With Mark Divine Sealfit Unbeatable Mind Mark Divine's Books Unbeatable Mind Podcast with Mark Divine Mark Divine Instagram | Morning Rituals, Courage, Facing Fears, Witnessing and Relationships A DEEPER WHY Josh Trent's Journey Thru SEALFIT 20X-12 Hr.

At twenty-six he graduated as Honor Man (#1-ranked trainee) of SEAL BUD/S class number 170. Mark served for nine years total on active duty and eleven as a Reserve SEAL, retiring as Commander in 2011.  His leadership of teams was so effective the government tasked him with creating a nationwide mentoring program for SEAL trainees.  Not only did it increase the quality of SEAL candidates, it reduced BUD/S attrition rate up to five percent.   A New Kind of Fitness Company What made Mark's program so effective was his focus on more than just physical fitness.  He'd seen laughter conquer fatigue and bond teams at their BUD/S breaking point, intuition save his men during the hell of war and special ops missions.  He knew he could form a fitness company that prepared civilians for the physical AND mental/emotional demands of  Navy SEAL-like lifestyle.  So he started SEALFIT.   Entrepreneur, Professor, and Unbeatable Mind At the same time SEALFIT was beginning he co-founded Coronado Brewing Company, built www.NavySEALs.com, the leading website for SEAL gear and information, and launched US Tactical, a government contracting business.  He also served as adjunct professor of leadership at the University of San Diego before the Navy called him up for duty in the Iraq War. Through Mark's teaching, entrepreneurial endeavors and travel to foreign countries, he noticed the power of mental toughness, emotional resilience, intuitive leadership and a healthy spirit for anyone wanting breakthrough performance.  They weren't solely for combat or restricted to the business world or one culture.  He'd watch them transform lives in people from every background, nation and belief system.  So he wrote and self-published his first book, Unbeatable Mind, in 2011 and launched its at-home study program.   More Writing and a Continuing Journey Three more books poured out in a torrent…  The Way of the SEAL, published by Reader's Digest, and 8 Weeks to SEALFIT and KOKORO Yoga, both published by St. Martin's Press.  Writing his experience for others triggered a realization of his own full-circle journey… Grown up in upstate New York, a degree in economics and an MBA from NYU.  He'd prepared for life as a high powered CPA… and then left his high paying finance career for the adventurous life of a Navy SEAL officer.  Now he's once again sought after by those same corporations and institutions, as a trainer of the mental toughness and the whole person training that shaped, and healed him. Mark lives with his family in Encinitas, California, where he continues to train, explore, learn from others and generate more resources to improve the lives of everyone he meets.   Build Immunity.

In this episode of Nonprofit Architect, Travis talks with Mark Pfister.  His popular book, 'Across The Board: The Modern Architecture Behind an Effective Board of Directors,' an Amazon best-seller with circulation in over 70 countries, has influenced a whole new generation of Board Directors. Travis and Mark talk about setting up a Board, finding the perfect Board Members, and structuring a Board that will be successful. Conversation Highlights:  {00:48} About Mark Pfister. {02:47} Background on Mark's Board and what it looks like. {06:48} The size and structure of a modern Board without wasting bureaucracy. {12:05} Being a Chief Executive Officer, and what Mark's organization looks like. {17:34} When you have top-level guys, especially on boards, working on something they have no business spending time on?  {25:02} Being challenged to ask uncomfortable questions, not being compliant.   {28:24} What happens when you are stuck with a sudden emergency that knocks you off your feet. {31:19} Be open to feedback. Once you have your mission have you checked your impact on the community? Are you meeting your goal? Do you have goals? {35:15} How do you structure awards intentionally, and make sure you are starting your board or recreating your board with the success that you want to have sure?  {40:58} Why having a marketing expert on the board is essential. {42:03} Where do you find the perfect board members? {46:49} Planning for the future and picking board members that will spread your message. {49:42} Why Mark has worked on over 800 Boards. {55:18} Advice for Board of Directors, preparing for the eventual changing of the guard.   Remarkable quotes:  90 plus percent of their problems or inefficiencies are due to the fact they were not structured properly from the beginning.  You must know where you came from to know where you are going.  I think this is one of the biggest misses right now that a board is viewed as a hindrance. 20% of the time, as a CEO or Executive Director, I'm going to now put on a different hat and I'm going to ask questions 80% of the time and give my opinion or my input 20% of the time. The maturity of that decision-maker's ability to allow for discourse, but not take it as an example as a personal attack on them. A board director is not going to be comfortable going out and representing a program, that is not as impactful as it should be.  Three components create the depth of the board.  The vertical component creates your expertise Influence. The horizontal component is your planes of congruence that create your character and then your coverage and balance create the depth of the board. If you can get those three areas balanced in some way, these boards are unstoppable.      Resources:  Mark@PfisterStrategy.com      Bio: Mark A.

“The reaction to the trauma doesn’t necessarily stop with the people who experienced it.” Do you have symptoms that you can’t explain? For example, are you overly anxious for no obvious reason? Do you instinctively push people away or intentionally disassociate from difficult feelings in your body? Do you have irrational fears or thoughts about what could happen that don’t make logical sense?If so, there’s a chance you may be experiencing inherited trauma; that’s trauma, which started with your parents or your grandparents - not you. Generational trauma can impact our lives in profound ways. Fortunately, there is something you can do to transform the fears and soothe the feelings. There is a way to break the pattern so that the ancestral trauma stops with you. Mark Wolynn - author of It Didn’t Start With You and the director of The Family Constellation Institute in San Francisco has devoted his life to understanding and healing inherited family trauma. In this must-hear episode, Mark reveals how his work holds the potential to wildly transform your life as well as the life of your children and grandchildren [even if they’ve not yet been born]. “We don’t make the link that our anxiety, our depression, our shutdown is connected to our parents and our grandparents. We just think we’re wired this way.” The concept of inherited trauma is backed by science. As Mark explains in the episode, as we learn more about epigenetics, our clarity about the way trauma is passed on increases. Ancestral trauma is often behind the curtain. Logic can convince us that certain things are best left unsaid. But just because we don’t hear things doesn’t mean we can’t feel things. Mark’s work empowers people to dig deeper into their familial setting so they can understand the reactions and feelings locked in their body. As a result, his clients get to experience unimaginable feelings of freedom, closure, and clarity. You can get a taste of the potential that healing ancestral trauma could have for you when you tune into this episode. What is inherited trauma?What’s a healthy way to experience a healing event if you can’t tap back into the original trauma? How can you learn to be present with what is? How to differentiate between attachment and generational trauma. Why traumas affect fathering and mothering. The profound difference between forgiveness and understanding.What is inner child healing and why is it powerful healing work?How healing generational trauma impacts your children [and your children’s children].Changing how our genes express to protect our kids [and grandchildren]. Why Mark is passionate about this work [and how it healed his sight]. The significance of Mark crying into his mother’s clothes. And more… “We’ve got to tame our trauma responses so we can live a loving, open, compassionate, and gentle life.” How to contact Discover more details about Mark’s work at https://markwolynn.comLike Mark on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mark.wolynn.31Follow Mark on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/markwolynn/We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

Today’s guest is Mark Scheinberg, founder and president of Goodwin University.Mark is the first university founder to be on the show and a dear friend who I’ve known for over 20 years. No matter where we meet, one of the hallmarks of our friendship is that within two minutes, we're laughing at something. I couldn't be happier to have him here.As Peter Drucker put it, culture is “the way we do things around here.”At Goodwin University, their mission-centered culture doesn’t come from buzzwords reserved for wall signs and the employee handbook, it’s something that their people embody. I attribute a lot of that to Mark’s humility and his drive to live a life of service and love. His leadership by attraction inspires others to follow his example and make it their own. That’s what I believe his legacy is about.In this episode, Mark and I talk about the enormous support Goodwin University offers its students, how he went from a poor childhood to becoming a millionaire by 30, his focus on helping his students better their lives, why he gave away 90% of his assets, and so much more!Key Topics:Why being a newer organization allowed Goodwin University to flourish (2:58)How traditional universities often fail to meet non-traditional students’ needs (4:16)Goodwin University’s groundbreaking student support initiatives (5:19)Social initiatives that give students a greater chance of success (8:05)The business case for offering extended support to students (9:23)How music became the key to a world of opportunities for Mark (11:54)The massive disconnect Mark experienced with college recruiters (13:28)How college admissions processes can end up excluding good candidates (16:02)Mark’s first post-college entrepreneurial venture (16:54)Mark’s path from real estate investments to buying a school at 24 (17:49)How a drive to help students find better jobs led Mark to shift his school into a college (20:45)Why Mark was driven to make his college non-profit (24:19)Mark’s decision to give away 90% of his assets (26:27)How Goodwin University has thrived since becoming a non-profit entity (28:17)The mission-based culture at Goodwin University (29:42)The surprising response Mark received from the non-profit world (33:15)Living a life of service, honesty, and love (35:04)Why it’s always worth it to do the right things (36:57)The advice Mark would give to his 23-year-old self (40:06)And much more!Mentioned in this Episode:Goodwin UniversityJim Collins’ Book | Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...And Others Don'tSheer Clarity | Loving People and Loving What You Do with Keith AlperTHANKS FOR LISTENING!Be sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.  And feel free to drop us a line at kevin@sheerclarity.com. Follow Sheer Clarity on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook! [AS1]I can’t link to Kevin’s site – it appears to be hacked or something.

While it's easy to get caught up in the mainstream news and financial shows, they aren't always the best way to get information on your investments.

Today’s guest on the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast is legendary MTT reaper of souls Mark “Dipthrong” Herm.Mark has been on my radar as a force in the poker world for a very, very long time. Like 2007 Absolute Poker long. Back in those days I was grinding away at cash games but allowed myself to take some shots here and there at some of the $200-$1k MTTs on Absolute for fun, and I specifically remember being aware of Dipthrong in every single tourney I played.The fact that he’s still doing extraordinary things in the world of poker all these years later does not surprise me one bit.What was very surprising to me was just how alike Mark and I are. We’re about the same age, we’ve been playing cards for about the same amount of time, and we both lean towards the intuitive side of poker more so than the analytical side.I’m also extremely grateful that he’s also a genuinely open dude who isn’t afraid of discussing some of the more taboo areas of the poker lifestyle like struggling with mental health and adderall.In today’s episode you’re also going to learn:Why Mark bashes GTO every chance he gets.How Elliot Roe has been especially impactful in Mark’s career.Why Mark only plays on Sundays.And much, MUCH more!And now, without any further ado, it’s my absolute delight and pleasure to bring to you my conversation with the legendary Mark Herm.

Many of us have big goals and dreams, but usually achieving our ambitions means taking action outside our comfort zone, overcoming fear and uncertainty, and putting ourselves ‘at risk' in some way...even if it's just our ‘ego' that's in danger.  My guest on this show is Mark Visser, and he had a dream so big and dangerous that many people told him it wasn't possible to achieve. But he continued anyway.  He knew he had to prepare for and accept the unpredictable so that he could achieve the unbelievable. So he trained and learned and practiced until he'd completed the challenge he'd set himself and conquered his biggest fear.  Mark is an Australian big wave surfer, author, keynote speaker and ocean adventurer. He created a process to help him reduce fear and perform at his peak in extreme danger and he has since used it to coach many world champion athletes, professional sporting teams, business and elite military groups around the world. Today, he is sharing it with you to help you conquer any fear that stands in your way. Enjoy!   What you'll discover: When Mark decided to do something extraordinary and what led him there. How Mark's limiting beliefs were stopping him from making his dreams a reality and how he changed his mindset and attitude. The questions that guided Mark through his toughest experiences. How you can use fear to your advantage. The internal microphone that we all hold and why we should hand it over to the wiser version of ourselves. How surfing ‘Jaws' at night fitted into Mark's quest and led him to discover his eight steps to manage fear. The mental, emotional and physical training Mark did that helped him reach his goal. The mind-body connection and the sequence in which our bodies shut down because of fear. How Mark nearly blacked out with fear the first time he spoke! Mark's tips for managing future based ‘imagined' fear.  How speaking fits into Mark's life. Why Mark wrote his book and how it can help you move closer to your dreams.   All things Mark Visser: Website(s): https://www.theoceanwarrior.com https://www.markvisser.net Facebook: @MarkVisser   Books:  The Big Wave Method by Mark Visser Stop at Nothing by Lance Armstrong God I Am by Peter O Erbe   Resources: https://www.saraharcher.co.uk/club https://www.facebook.com/groups/thespeakingclub/ https://www.saraharcher.co.uk/challenge https://www.facebook.com/SarahArcherSpeak/ https://www.saraharcher.co.uk https://www.standoutpitch.com   Thanks for listening!

To close off this season and conclude our deep dive into system and application architecture, today’s episode is a special panel discussion on a topic that has provoked a mix of answers that range from the controversial to the philosophical — “What does domain-driven design mean to you?” For the final word on this subject, we welcome back software developers Chris Keathley, Japa Swadia, Mark Windholtz, and Miki Rezentes. Our first hot take comes from Miki, who shares her thoughts about how domain-driven design developed because the tech industry undervalues communication. Following this, Mark and Japa discuss how domain-driven design gives developers a context for what they create while informing how you code using Elixir. We then touch on whether domain-driven design makes it easier or more difficult to change your code and how communication is valued within a business context. We explore key domain-driven design concepts, including the role of bounded contexts, and how this design ethos can help you appeal to stakeholders such as product managers. After Miki highlights the reasons why communication should be seen as a vital tech skill, each guest provides their final thoughts on domain-driven design. Tune in for this season’s insightful finale and find out which of today’s guests is the winner of “Whose Design Is It Anyway?” Key Points From This Episode: Introducing guests Chris Keathley, Japa Swadia, Mark Windholtz, and Miki Rezentes. Hear what domain-driven design means for each guest. Miki shares her hot take that domain-driven design is “nothing new under the sun.” Why the essence of domain-driven design is about listening. How domain-driven design can inform your Elixir architecture. Mapping your system and developing names for your bounded contexts. Domain-driven design trade-offs and how it can lead to a loss of productivity. The idea that domain-driven design has developed because the tech industry undervalues communication. Why communication should be valued — bad communication costs money. How tech companies are generally aligned with the goals of domain-driven design. Why Mark is so delighted to be working with Elixir and domain-driven design. The link between domain-driven design and developing better products. Exploring how bounded contexts allow teams to create solutions to unique problems. Seeing communication as a tech skill that should be learned early in your career. Our guests share their final thoughts on domain-driven design.

Podcast hosting companies are multiplying more than rabbits these days. Each one believes that THEY have what podcasters really need — and have no problem telling you so. I have no beef with that. If you believe in your service or product, you SHOULD be telling everyone it can help, that it can help them. But most of them don’t impress me very much. One of the newcomers in the last few years that I AM impressed by is Captivate (affiliate link). I started one of my 5 podcasts on the Captivate service just to try it out and I have enjoyed the way they handle things so much, I plan on moving some of my other shows over to them.  Listen to his conversation with Captivate co-Founder Mark Asquith to hear about all the bells, whistles, and cool stuff the Captivate team has baked into their podcast hosting platform.

Do you have any porn regrets? In this episode, Mark Normand reveals which porn tape he regrets watching the most. Plus, Mark explains why men can’t get hard, and we talk about diversity in comedy. Mark was born and raised in New Orleans, LA, surprisingly to two normal parents. As a kid, he spent most of his time shooting short films and wetting the bed. He started doing comedy right after college and quickly moved to New York. Mark now does comedy clubs and colleges across the country and has been involved in many festivals, including Portland, Seattle, DC, Boston, Vancouver, Melbourne, and in 2013, was featured as a New Face at the Montreal Comedy Festival. In this episode, Mark explains why his manager quit show biz. It’s not too big of a deal during the pandemic, Mark is saving money now. Mark weighs in on the question, are there homophobic pedophiles? Society needs to figure out a way to get in the heads of these pedophiles. Then, Mark describes his first experience with pornography. His friend showed him porn at the age of twelve, and it completely blew Mark’s mind. He jerked off to it for five years after. We talk about regrettable porn viewings, including a toothless woman, a woman with three clits, and eating jizz. Mark speaks about getting crazy sick and breaking up with his long-term girlfriend of twelve years. He always thought about breaking up with her; however, he never wanted to pull the trigger. The breakup was ugly. So, Mark went on a bender every single night. He even did all the butt stuff with women on dating apps. People are more open to butt stuff then they are willing to say. Everyone likes some tongue action down there. When Mark finishes too fast, he always makes up for it! Plus, after twenty minutes, he is ready to get back in there. Mark reveals the details behind his worst auditions and pitches ever. On a pitch with Netflix, Mark kept making jokes that turned bad.

For a long time, it seemed that the only way to increase your wealth was to invest in the stock market. And while Wall Street wants us to believe that this is still true, it is far from being the best option to ensure long-term financial prosperity. Investing in real estate, while not the be-all-and-end-all, is a far more stable and predictable way to grow your wealth. Our guest today, Mark Willis, has experienced the value of real estate investing first-hand. He is a certified financial planner, a two-time number one bestselling author, and the owner of Lake Growth Financial Services, a financial firm in Chicago, Illinois. He has not only helped hundreds of clients in taking back control of their financial futures, through tax-efficient solutions, but he has also changed his own life by altering his investment strategy. Along with his impressive resume, Mark is also the co-host of the Not Your Average Financial Podcast. In this episode, Mark sheds light on why tax-deferred accounts are traps to keep you poor in retirement. He shares the importance of asking what you want your money to do for you to understand how to structure your investment portfolio.Key Points From This Episode:Learn more about Mark’s background and what led him to start Lake Growth.The ticking time bomb: Why Mark advises against tax-deferred retirement accounts.Find out what the real rate of return on the stock market over 30 years has been.Some of the characteristics of the ideal investment portfolio.Why we have to accept that we are all part of the banking system in one way or another.

Thomas recently had the privilege of playing piano on the latest album by Catholic composer Mark Christopher Brandt. The Butterfly consists of a suite for string quartet and piano, plus two solo piano pieces. The suite, which uses the butterfly's transformation as an allegory of conversion, was described by the Catholic poet Dana Gioia as “fresh, inventive and alive”. In this episode you will hear the beautiful Butterfly suite in full, followed by a no less beautiful conversation in which Thomas shares what he learned from Mark during this project, and Mark (as always) shares much wisdom about music and the Christian life, peppered with examples from his journey in both. Central to the conversation about music is the continuum of artists throughout history, and the deeper continuum for Christian artists: that our work transcends history because our first audience is the heavenly court, regardless of what welcome our art finds in this world. Contents [2:51] Accompanying text to The Butterfly [4:38] The Butterfly suite [21:09] Why Mark wanted another pianist (Thomas) to play on this project [23:22] Granting the string players more room for individual creativity than is usual in the classical world [28:06] What Mark taught Thomas in the studio: making a mistake is not a sin [36:54] Benefits of documenting the results of one's practice in order to move forward [41:59] The timeline of the album, spanning decades of Mark's journey as a composer [47:09] The historical ‘continuum' of music and being a part of its progress [52:38] Mark's counsel for those beginning to study composition [1:02:41] Contemporary pop has lost its connection to what came before it [1:07:17] Christians who are joyful are misunderstood as being naive [1:12:52] When Mark first became aware of how following Jesus was transforming him Links Purchase The Butterfly: Physical copies https://markchristopherbrandt.com/the-butterfly---store.html iTunes https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-butterfly/1488059624 Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Butterfly-Mark-Christopher-Brandt/dp/B081K8Y1C7 Purchase the score and/or parts https://markchristopherbrandt.com/the-butterfly-scores-and-parts.html   Previous interviews with Mark: Episode 33: Structure and Freedom in Music and in Christ https://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/episode-33-structure-and-freedom-in-music-and-in-christ-mark-christopher-brandt/ The Nightingale https://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/episode-0-nightingale-mark-christopher-brandt/  Other Resources Mark's website https://www.markchristopherbrandt.com/ Manassas String Quartet https://www.manassasquartet.com/   This podcast is a production of CatholicCulture.org.

Hi there friends. This is Brian Sanders who’s name and photo is now featured on the cover of this podcast. I’m the guy who’s making the Food Lies film which has taken up much of the last 2 years of my life. I’ve interviewed about 150 people now (both formally and casually) on topics of nutrition, health, exercise, and the environment. I’m also the guy that posts something every day on social media that interests me or conveys a point that currently has my attention. Search for Food Lies on Instagram, youtube, twitter, and facebook and you’ll find some great content. Start back at episode 1 to get the full health info download, share with friends and family, and give it a review on itunes or the Apple podcast app. Please know that I really appreciate all of you for doing this! I love interacting with people daily on these social platforms. It helps continue my quest for simple truths about health and nutrition, and hopefully not get caught up in one way of thinking. Let’s get straight to today’s guest, Mark Schatzker who is the author of The Dorito Effect and another book called Steak. I really enjoyed the Dorito Effect and have brought it up on multiple podcasts. His award-winng journalism has appeared in in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Condé Nast Traveler and Best American Travel Writing. He is a field reporter for The Dr. Oz Show as well as a radio columnist for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.  I really connected with Mark Schatzker in this episode on so many things. I’m really excited about this one and think it might help people to look at nutrition in a different light. Apparently we’ve both been thinking about some of these nuances in the same way for years. We talked for a while after we stopped recording and followed up on email as well. Some of it may be controversial, so I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts. There’s so much going on when we talk about the concept of “processed foods.” Even when I make a post about it, there’s lots of confusion and pushback about what a processed food actually is. When I posted that the excess fat people carry is just the processed food they have eaten, there was an uproar. I still stand by this statement.  There’s 3 main components to what makes a processed food bad. The first is the diluting of good things like protein, vitamins, and minerals with empty calories like refined sugar, grains, and oils. The second is how those foods interact with your body. They can spike your blood sugar far more than whole foods, interact with your digestive system in different ways, and therefore affect hormones and satiety signals in different ways, as well as other inflammatory effects. The 3rd is the hyperpalatability factor which leads to overconsumption. Throughout history, food processing increased nutrient density. Modern food processing pretty much across the board decreases nutrient density. Therein lies some of the confusion. Sauerkraut is a processed food by most definitions. But for me, it doesn't fit the classical definition because it makes a pretty empty food like cabbage that has anti-nutrients (therefore potentially detrimental), into something nutritious with vitamin C, probiotics, and very little antinutrients through the act of processing - in this case fermenting.  Other people didn't understand how King Henry the 8th, who was famously obese, could get that way without processed foods. Processed foods doesn't just mean McDonald’s and Oreos! He had access to unlimited quantities of refined flour baked goods, sugar, and alcohol. These are the worst of the processed foods! Just because you made a cake at home with organic flour and organic agave, doesn't mean it’s healthy for you. This also goes for a snack bar that is “keto approved” with all natural ingredients. Ok enough out of me, we can get to the episode. I’ll just make a youtube video about it with all my thoughts in order and some graphics. Check the Food Lies youtube for new videos each week.

[8:25] Nature knows best, and the more we try to manipulate it and change it, the worse it gets. [12:40] If raised properly, red meat is one of the most beneficial foods you could eat.  [13:30] The shift in our culture from avoiding red meat and leaning towards processed foods has contributed greatly to our health crisis and obesity epidemic. [17:40] Sheep are able to self-medicate and how it relates to our ability to choose to eat certain foods. [19:55] What is flavor feedback and why it matters. [22:10] Do humans possess the same ability? [26:25] How the creation of Doritos has forever changed the way we create food today. [32:10] How flavors trick us into thinking we are getting nutrients and how they are addictive. [39:20] How the industrialization of the food industry has ruined the taste of real food. [48:15] The issue of the protein/nutrient leverage hypothesis. [52:10] Humans were designed to seek out the flavors that brought us the nutrients of what we need.  [57:10] How the corruption and greed of the food industry is affecting our world’s health. [59:50] Just because a product is ‘plant-based’ does not mean it is completely guilt-free and ethical. [1:05:00] MSG: what role does it play in our modern society? [1:06:12] Overuse of the word ‘chemicals’ and the negative connotation it has in our society.  [1:09:35] Mark urges people to read ingredient labels and be wary of foods that are engineered to taste good. [1:13:20] How the flavor model of obesity and satiety model of obesity are related. [1:15:55] Mark’s take on the future regarding obesity and the food industry. [1:17:40] How the use of technology can help us to lead towards the shift towards healthier, natural foods.     BUY THE MEAT NosetoTail.org Support me on Patreon! http://patreon.com/peakhuman Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post   Film site: http://FoodLies.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoodLies   Follow along: http://twitter.com/FoodLiesOrg http://instagram.com/food.lies http://facebook.com/FoodLiesOrg

On this special edition of the RSP Cast, Mark Schofield and Matt Waldman share their thoughts and experiences about working in the business of analyzing football. Last week, someone trolled Matthew Berry on Twitter and it rained somewhere on earth last week. It's essentially this common to be trolled when you're the most recognizable fantasy writer on the planet. The troller told Berry that he had the talent to do Berry's job but it's harder to make it in the industry today because it's more saturated with writers than ever before and that making connections has now become more difficult. Berry argued the point and this spawned separated debates around social media about the present ease-difficulty of becoming a football writer—fantasy or non-fantasy alike. Mark and I took some time to share our stories and perspectives about what it takes to succeed as independent contractors in this space as well as my experience as a business owner of an annual draft publication. Why Matt's pursuit of his football passion for scouting talent was not a gift he wanted but why life events presented him the opportunity. Why Matt vividly remembers sitting in an empty room of his house thinking about $700 earned in three years as the guy he turned down twice for promising work was on NBC Sunday Night Football--and why it tested his resolve but he ultimately made the best decision. Why Mark made his switch Advice for individuals based on age, current career development, and life commitments. Prices many aspiring analysts don't understand are likely part of the deal: Downsizing your lifestyle. Changing expectations about having a normal life. Health safeguards. Having clear expectations about how your choice impacts those around you. Perceptions of those close to you. The time it may take to earn meaningful income--and what meaningful income may look like. Why "pursuing your passion" is possible but often misguided and tips for knowing the best choice. Coping with a competitive working environment and what discourages and encourages us. Being authentic in this space and having a realistic expectation about what means for your career outlook. Obviously, this episode isn't for everyone. However, if you've been interested in what it's like from the perspective of Mark and Matt, who have written at dozens of outlets, launched their own publications, and have worked in various industries, you'll find this show worthwhile.
