Hello to my listening populous via the internet. This episode contains little to no rhyme or reason as I have just conducted a list of songs that I would like to sit here and listen to. Testing to see the audible difference since adding the subwoofer to the setup. I do have to tame the bass in certain songs in post, running them through an EQ because the bass is entirely too wicked and I'd hate to blow Keisha's speakers. For those of you out there who speak Pokemon, I am still sweating from a trade that I did earlier today with a fella who, deservingly, is locally referred to as 'Zard King'. I have humbly approached him seeking his council before, but this time was different. I approached him loaded with my good card binder and we bartered. I parted with my Aquapolis Umbreon, Japanese Dark Zard, and the Psyduck question mark promo for a super minty copy of my favorite card in existence, the banned Japanese version of Sabrina's Gengar. It's my favorite for multiple reasons. It's Gengar, it's banned and has Christianity tied into it. Crosses serving as gravestones in the Japanese version alone make this card awesome to me. Very few Pokemon cards have Christianity portrayed in them and Gengar being one of the absolute bros? It's hard for me to feel bad about this one. Has a swirl on it. I'm a swirl at this point. Completely swirled out the game. No big deal. Let me stop niche mogging and go to sleep. What's actually good Keisha.  Singapore. Frankfurt.Your Host with the Most,Witwicka Juan Don

Send us Fan MailLong before someone books a call or buys from you, they're already deciding whether or not they trust you.In this episode, I sit down with Master Brand Photographer and Fractional Marketing Strategist Lisa Craig to talk about how your visuals, messaging and marketing work together to shape the way potential clients perceive you long before you ever even have a conversation.Lisa explains why brand photography is about much more than having a few profressional headshots. When your photos and content are consistent with your personality, goals and values, they create credibility, build connetion and help potential clients feel confident saying yes. When they're not, they can create confusion and make it harder for people to understand who you are, what you do and why they should trust you.We also discuss:Practical ways to show up more effectively online including simple Zoom adjustments that can dramatically improve connection and engagementWhat it means to show up authentically in your marketing, especially in a world filled with AI-generated content, stock photos and filtersHow to use AI tools to save time and generate ideas without sacrificing the authenticity and personal connection that make your brand stand outIf you've ever wondered whether your brand truly reflects the quality of your work, this conversation will help you think differently about the role visuals, messaging, and authenticity play in growing your business.Links & References:Come network with us!

Welcome to what will effectively serve as my newest installment. Slowing it down this week with Melancholy Magnet. Some of my signature slowed and throwed examples, some sad songs and a new take on my world famous Close To You mashup. This weekend I managed to work some overtime hours, swing by a Pokemon card show, show off my silky smooth jumper, AND blast another podcast for you, my cherished listening audience. Singapore, I'm with you in spirit. Somebody PLEASE sing Jai Paul karaoke over there. Crank the volume too. KEISHA I'm excited for Carolina football and my boy Billy. Come October, I'm snubbing my nose and looking the other way in disgust. I often wonder what Hubert Davis is doing with his summer. But, by all means Keisha, continue without me. It's fine. The Chicago Bulls, Belichick and this binder of Pokemon cards will make things okay. Since when is this Jim Rome is Burning. Nobody cares about my sports opinions, I once said Derek Carr was going to win the MVP and he was cut from his team a few weeks later. Derek Carr took my order at Outback last week. Nobody reads these things anyways. No big deal. For those of you who care about my personal life? Other big news is I have developed a massive VHS collection and that is how I prefer to spend my free time at this point so if it is not a life or death situation? Or you didn't find a gob of vintage Japanese Pokemon cards? Leave me alone so I can finish my VHS copy of Jurassic Park.Your Host with the Most,Trilly Bob Thornton

Today I went by the record store for the first time in probably two months. My time recently has been saddled with the responsibility of being the sickest Pokemon bro in the Metro area. For those who speak Pokemon, I traded in some vintage Japanese that was difficult to part with.. I did so in efforts to secure an Aquapolis Umbreon holo from 2002. It has a swirl, as well as Orion in the holo pattern and I couldn't be more fired up about it. Okay back to reality. The record store. I traded in some old motion picture soundtracks, some old rock and roll stuff. The Eagles Live record that sounds like it got hit by a bus. With my store credit, I left with Fred Again's USB002 album and now my subwoofer is currently smoking a cigarette. Thank you for clicking on my podcast, I hope you enjoyed it. Until next time..Your Host with the Most,Trill Murray

What You Say is Not What They Hear What is the Difference Between Your Intended and Unintend Message? Episode 313 (Solo show featuring George Torok) In this episode we explore: why your whole message includes more than the words you intend to send four reasons your intended message might not get through why clarity in your head does not guarantee clarity for the listener how beliefs and past experiences filter what people hear how emotional state changes the meaning people receive why setting and delivery method influence interpretation how recent events can reshape audience receptiveness why unintended messages act like static around your main point how vocabulary and grammar influence credibility how body language can contradict spoken words how pace, pitch and inflection alter meaning why missing information can distract listeners how audience engagement strengthens communication how to reduce unintended messages before they sabotage your intended message ----- Your Host, George Torok: Is known as the Speech Coach for Executives because he's been coaching executive leaders to convey their messages with more confidence and success for 30 years. For 19 years, he hosted the radio show, Business in Motion, interviewing over 600 business and community leaders. As host of the podcast, Your Intended Message, he has interviewed communication specialists from 16 countries. George is co-author of the national bestseller, Secrets of Power Marketing, and contributed to 12 other books. His articles have been featured in magazines around the world, and he's written over 2,000 blog posts. An adventurer, he's visited over 30 countries on five continents and has run 12 marathons. ----- Key Lessons from this episode: Your whole message includes both the message you intend to send and the unintended messages that travel with it. Clarify your message before you speak. A message that feels clear in your head might become confusing when converted into words. Your intended message can fail because people were not listening, did not understand you or did not believe you. Communication requires several translations: from the thoughts in your head, into words, through the listener's filters and finally into meaning in their mind. Your audience filters your message through beliefs, past experiences, emotional state, setting, perspective and recent events. Recent experiences can influence how people receive your next message. An unresolved issue might block acceptance of a new idea. Unintended messages create communication static that can blur, weaken or contradict what you meant to convey. Vocabulary and grammar send messages about clarity, credibility and professionalism beyond the literal meaning of your words. Body language and voice can support your intended message or create doubt when they conflict with your words. The method of delivery matters. Email, phone, video, coffee conversation and boardroom discussion each shape how a message is received. Missing information can distract listeners when you raise a question but fail to answer it. Audience engagement strengthens the message. Reading slides or text can weaken connection and reduce attention. Distractions exist in the room, on the screen and inside the listener's mind. Effective communicators pay attention not only to what they intend to say, but also to the unintended messages attached to their delivery. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills. We'll examine the aspects of how we communicate one-to-one, one to few and one to many – plus that important conversation, one to self. In these interviews we will explore presentation skills, public speaking, conversation, persuasion, negotiation, sales conversations, marketing, team meetings, social media, branding, self talk and more.   Your host is George Torok George is a specialist in communication skills. Especially presentation. He's fascinated by the links between communication and influencing behaviors. He delivers training and coaching programs to help leaders and promising professionals deliver the intended message for greater success.   Connect with George www.SpeechCoachforExecutives.com https://superiorpresentations.net/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgetorokpresentations/ https://www.youtube.com/user/presentationskill

Send us Fan MailWhat if the problem isn't your mindset, your motivation, your discipline, or whether you "want it badly enough"?In this episode, I sit down with feminist business coach and author Becky Mollenkamp to discuss her book, Liberate Your Business, and challenge many of the assumptions entrepreneurs have been taught about success, productivity, and growth.We explore how systems like capitalism, patriarchy, and hustle culture influence the way we run our businesses, often leading us to believe that exhaustion, overwork, and constant striving are simply part of the entrepreneurial journey.Becky challenges that assumption with her vision of a liberated business: one that aligns with your values, supports the life you want to live and doesn't require burnout as the cost of success.We also unpack:The limitations of mindset-focused business adviceHow perfectionism and binary thinking keep entrepreneurs stuckUsing the concept of "enough" to guide business decisionsMaking values-based choices without demanding perfection from yourselfCreating sustainable boundaries around work, rest, and growthWhy relationship-based networking is more effective than transactional sellingFrom pricing and boundaries to networking and marketing, Becky offers practical ways to make decisions that honor both your goals and your humanity.Links & References:Come network with us!

Welcome one, welcome all the world over. You have clicked on what will effectively serve as my newest upload. This is absolute atmosphere, an episode focused on properly breaking my subwoofer in and letting it get accustomed to the types of bangers that I blast for you, my precious listening populous. In a most shocking recent discovery, I have found that Singapore is the number one city around the globe that has downloaded my podcast. On behalf of myself, the arch bishop of this organization.. I give a heartfelt thank you to all of the complete units in Singapore. Frankfurt, Germany you are not forgotten. Like Reece Bobby said.. "I was high when I said that. You can be 2nd, 3rd, 4th.. Hell, you could even be 5th." No shame in 2nd place, Germany. I still love y'all bunches too. I'm overjoyed with the expansion of this institution. If I get to feeling myself soon, I might just have to blast a karaoke eppy out of respect for the Singapore bros. My favorite portion of this installment is definitely the Myspace Demo versions of the Jai Paul songs. I must be an ADHD listener because hearing those versions is like seeing a new color for the first time. I didn't come up with that, I saw it in the YouTube comments. As always, thank you for being here and I'll be all piled up in here next week with another one for you's. Your Host with the MostMr. Worldwide

“Every woman deserves the chance to have a real discussion about hormone therapy — and make whatever decision is right for her. I'm here to give information and answer questions. It's your body.”— Dr. Jacqueline RiedelThe doctor who finally has time for youDr. Jacqueline Riedel, DO spent 15 years in family medicine where she learned this: women's hormonal health in midlife was profoundly under-treated and misunderstood. In a busy hospital-based clinic, she'd start a long-overdue conversation with a patient about perimenopause symptoms… and have to cut it off because the schedule demanded it.So she left. She opened Magnolia Midlife Women's Health, a direct-care practice built on something simple but radical: unhurried, conversational visits where women can actually ask their questions, get real answers, and leave feeling seen.In this conversation, she covers what's really happening hormonally in your 30s, 40s, and 50s and why everything you were told to fear about hormone therapy probably isn't the full story.Perimenopause starts earlier than you thinkDr. Riedel sees women with perimenopause symptoms long before any changes in the menstrual cycle. If you've been dismissed, or told your symptoms are just stress or mom-brain, you're not alone. Symptoms she commonly sees:• New insomnia: can't fall asleep or waking for no apparent reason• Anxiety, often misread as “just life stress”• Persistent, unexplained fatigue• Hot flashes and night sweats• Mood changes including irritability, low mood, brain fog• Cycle irregularities such as heavier periods, irregular timingDr. Riedel's approach: map symptoms to your cycle. When do they happen? Are there patterns? She also rules out other common causes, including thyroid issues and iron deficiency before exploring hormone therapy as an option.MYTH BUSTINGThe fears holding women back from reliefTwo decades after the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study was misread and sensationalized, fear still dominates the conversation around hormone therapy. Dr. Riedel sets the record straight.Myth 1: Hormone therapy causes breast cancer.Fact: Long-term WHI follow-up showed women in the hormone treatment group had lower rates of breast cancer. Even a first-degree family history is not a contraindication. And if breast cancer does occur in someone using MHT, their risk of dying is actually lower than in those not using it.Myth 2: The doses in MHT are dangerously high.Fact: Menopausal hormone therapy doses are far lower than those in oral contraceptive pills. If you'd prescribe the pill, you can't logically call MHT dangerous.Myth 3: Vaginal estrogen has systemic effects and should be avoided in cancer history.Fact: Topical vaginal estrogen has negligible systemic absorption. It reduces UTIs, yeast infections, urinary frequency, and pelvic floor dysfunction, even in women under active breast cancer treatment, per emerging oncology research. The FDA recently removed the black-box warning.TREATMENT OVERVIEWHow Dr. Riedel approaches careThere's no single protocol. Dr. Riedel listens first, identifying the top two or three symptoms most affecting quality of life, and builds from there.Progesterone for sleep & anxiety• Stimulates GABA production, a calming neurotransmitter• Helps with sleep onset and staying asleep• Reduces the racing mind at 2am• Often the first place she startsEstrogen for vasomotor symptoms• Addresses night sweats, hot flashes, palpitations• Keeps estrogen levels from dropping to “empty”• Preferred as transdermal (patch, gel, spray) to avoid blood clot risk• Added when progesterone alone isn't enoughVaginal estrogen for urogenital health• Reduces painful intercourse and dryness• Decreases UTIs and yeast infections• Supports pelvic floor health long-term• About 50% of women need this even on systemic estrogenNon-hormonal options when hormones aren't right• Newer medications targeting particular neurons in the hypothalamus (hot flash regulation)Things you can do and questions to askDr. Riedel's conversation offers practical starting points for women navigating this transition on their own or with a provider.01. Track your symptoms in relation to your cycleSleep disruption, anxiety, and mood changes that follow a cyclic pattern are often hormonal in origin. Note when in your cycle you feel worst because this information is gold for any provider visit.02. Ask your doctor to rule out thyroid and iron firstFatigue, brain fog, and sleep issues can also come from iron deficiency or thyroid dysfunction. Simple labs can clarify what you're actually dealing with before hormones enter the picture.03. Reconsider what's in your sleep toolkitAlcohol before bed worsens sleep, hot flashes, and anxiety, even though it feels like it helps. Benadryl/ZQuil, Ambien, and benzodiazepines disrupt true sleep architecture. CBT for insomnia has strong evidence and virtually zero side effects. 06. Consider this a second puberty — not a declineMidlife is a genuine developmental threshold. Dr. Riedel and Margaret Mead's concept of “postmenopausal zest” both point in the same direction: this can be a time of clarity, reclaimed energy, and real possibility if you get the support your body actually needs.REFERENCES & RESOURCES[Podcast] Kelly Casperson, MD — You Are Not BrokenUrologist and leading voice in the menopause space.

Hello my loyal listening populous, welcome to another installment by the honorable bro. This is an installment based around my fancy carrying case that holds my favorite records. All genres, obviously. Lightnin' Hopkins, Hendrix, Frank Ocean, Jai Paul, Fred Again and more of the usual suspects are featured in this episode with no surprise. I have recently went back and watched some really good movies lately. My parents were in town and while they were here we consumed Kicking and Screaming (RIP Robert Duvall), Beverly Hills Ninja and Sandlot. All of which hold their comedic value til this day. After my parents left, in my depression I watched the first three Pirates of the Caribbean flicks and I have to say.. Those surprisingly surpassed my expectations and I'm glad that I revisited them. I always liked the Davy Jones character and I totally crush it as Jack Sparrow for Halloween. In separate news, I CRUUUUSHED it with Pokemon cards this weekend. Picking up vintage Japanese copies of both Dark Charizard and Sabrina's Gengar. Woooooow. WHOOOOO needs this beating. Thank you for being here. Yuuuurp.Your Host with the Most,DJ Witwickatron

What does it take for a single idea to travel from a research lab in New Haven to war zones in Uganda, refugee camps in Malaysia, and clinics across 30 countries and six continents? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Myrna Weissman, one of the most consequential figures in modern psychiatry, to find out.Dr. Weissman co-developed Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) alongside her late husband, Dr. Gerald Klerman, on a simple premise: that human suffering is deeply tied to human connection. Grief. Conflict. Loneliness. Life upended. These are not niche clinical categories, but rather a universal language of distress. And IPT was built to respond to it.In this conversation, Dr. Weissman reflects on five decades of research, the pandemic-era project that became a sweeping global volume (now available free via open access), and what it means to build something that outlives its origins. *This episode briefly mentions suicide.(Re-post: This is one of our most beloved episodes, brought back by popular demand. If you've heard it before, we hope it moves you just as much the second time.)What Is Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) and Why Does It Work?IPT links the emergence of psychiatric symptoms to what is happening in a person's current life. It focuses on four core problem areas:1. Grief — the loss of a loved one2. Disputes — conflict with someone important to you3. Transitions — life changes, even positive ones, that disrupt relationships4. Loneliness/Isolation — chronic or newly developed lack of attachmentThese four areas have proven to resonate across vastly different cultures because they reflect fundamental aspects of the human condition. Dr. Weissman emphasizes that IPT is not the only evidence-based psychotherapy — it is “one tool in the toolbox, not a religion.”IPT for AdolescentsAdolescence is a prime time for IPT's problem areas, especially disputes, transitions, and loneliness. Key takeaways for parents:• Try to understand the specific stressors behind an adolescent's symptoms rather than reacting to global, dramatic statements.• Always be alert to the possibility of suicidal ideation.• Communication barriers between teens and parents are common; a trusted third party (grandparent, therapist, family friend) can sometimes serve as a valuable bridge.The New Book: IPT Around the WorldThis book is now available open access for readers everywhere!The COVID-19 pandemic gave Dr. Weissman the unexpected opportunity to connect with IPT practitioners worldwide. What began as a routine update to the standard IPT manual grew into a sweeping collaborative volume covering more than 30 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Contributors were asked: What are you doing? What works? What doesn't? What adaptations did you need to make?Notable chapters include:• Uganda — IPT was introduced around 2003 amid civil war and a mental health crisis. A landmark clinical trial published in JAMA confirmed its effectiveness. Sean Mabry, a former WHO worker, went on to treat hundreds of thousands of people using IPT, even by telephone during the pandemic, and has now established a low-cost program in New Jersey.• China — After government engagement and training by Columbia experts, IPT became what practitioners called a “rapidly growing practice,” with books, training programs, and internet-based delivery.• Malaysia — IPT has been applied with refugees, using the “transitions” framework to help people process displacement and profound loss.• Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Senegal, Zambia, Uganda) — Adaptations have been made for cultural context, including how disputes are communicated and resolved within different family and community structures.• Japan and Hong Kong — Initial resistance to psychotherapy has given way to growing acceptance and translated materials.• United States special populations — Chapters cover Alaska Natives, people who are incarcerated, sexual and gender minorities, pre-adolescents, adolescents, and older adults.Cultural AdaptationsDr. Weissman shares a vivid example from Uganda: women in marital disputes are often encouraged not to confront their husbands directly, but to work through an elder who mediates. The underlying IPT principle, that the dispute is driving the symptoms, remains intact; only the implementation changes.Resources Mentioned• International Society of Interpersonal Psychotherapy (ISIPT) — volunteer-run, affordable membership, biannual international conference (10th meeting held in the UK, March 2024)• Dr. Weissman's new book on IPT across international sites — published Open Access, freely available to practitioners and researchers worldwide• Oxford University Press — publisher of the standard IPT manualAbout the GuestDr. Myrna Weissman is the Diana Goldman Kemper Family Professor of Epidemiology and Psychiatry at Columbia University's Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and Mailman School of Public Health, and Chief of the Division of Translational Epidemiology at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Alongside her late husband, Dr. Gerald Klerman, she co-developed Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), now backed by over 140 clinical trials, translated into numerous languages, and recommended by the World Health Organization.

You have messed around and found yourself clicking on another installment from your favorite underground disc jockey on the internet. This episode, we flip through my Kanye catalogue. Vinyl only. So many bangers in this collection that I could easily do another Kanye episode equally as long, equally as good. I am a week late on the upload, for that I apologize. To try and inspire myself I looked at the stats of the pod. Clicked around and discovered a few things that are wicked hot. In the history of my tenure as a disc jockey.. We have managed 1,089 downloads in Asia, 874 in Europe, 131 in South America, 76 in Africa and 14 downloads in Oceania. All I need is someone to listen to my podcast at the North Pole and I'll have spanned the globe with my disc jockey audio radio thing we got going on ova hea now. Means absolutely nothing and I'll never make a dollar from this but holy smokes 14 downloads in Oceania fires me right up. Crushing continents with sound waves. Bing Bong. That'll about do it for me, I still need to update my ever-expanding Pokemon card portfolio. Heck yeah. Your Host with the Most,Witwicka Juan Don

“Writing meets you where you are. Writing can wrap itself around any situation you bring to it.” - Carolyn Roy-Bornstein, MDIn this rich conversation, host Dr. Jennifer Reid welcomes Dr. Carolyn Roy-Bornstein, pediatrician, former nurse, passionate advocate for narrative medicine, and author of A Prescription for Burnout: Restorative Writing for Healthcare Professionals. Together, they explore how reflective writing can serve as a genuine antidote to clinician burnout. Drawing on her own experience navigating her son's traumatic brain injury, decades of medical practice, and hundreds of writing workshops, Dr. Roy-Bornstein makes a compelling case that putting pain into language is not a luxury. It's a tool for life.

Send us Fan MailYou can post every day and still feel invisible.Because content rarely builds trust fast enough with people who don't know you yet.But the moment someone hears your voice, connects with your story, and experiences your energy in real time, the dynamic shifts.In this episode, I'm joined by Leisa Reid, founder of Get Speaking Gigs Now™ and CEO of The International Speaker Network, to break down how public speaking becomes a practical, client-getting strategy.What Leisa teaches isn't about chasing big stages or waiting for the “perfect” opportunity. It's about using speaking as a trust bridge that moves people from interested to ready.In this episode, we cover:How speaking actually drives lead generation and authority, especially for coaches, consultants, and service providers who rely on relationships to grow their business.The pressure to be perfect, the “I'm not qualified” spiral, and why a clear plan matters more than the stage itself.How to start with low-stakes speaking opportunities and build momentumA simple monetization formula to evaluate if speaking is worth your timeIf you've been relying on content alone to get visible, this conversation will show you a more direct path to connection, credibility, and clients.Links & References:Come network with us!

Send us Fan MailHOT TAKE:  You can follow every “proven” strategy and still feel completely off in your marketing. In this episode, I'm joined by Laura Hulleman, Marketing Strategist and longtime member of the PWR Business Growth Mastermind, to break down why so many smart, experienced entrepreneurs get stuck trying to follow marketing advice that was never designed for how they actually think, communicate, or connect.You're not doing it wrong - you're just using strategies that weren't designed for you.We're unpacking:What's really happening behind a lot of “proven” strategies.How starting with your "ideal client avatar" can backfire.Why forcing yourself into someone else's framework almost always leads to inconsistent results.How to build your messaging around who you are, what you stand for, and what you naturally do best.The order of operations that saves you time, money, and energy.If your marketing has felt inconsistent, forced, or harder than it should be, this episode will help you fix the problem at the root instead of chasing someone else's strategy.Links & References:Join Laura and I inside the PWR Business Growth Mastermind!Come network with us!

Greetings to my loyal listening populous across the interwebs. Welcome to The Chosen One, an installment based around my favorite hip hop artist, Jay Electronica. I was supposed to go to an Electronica show last week that was canceled. This Jay-centric episode, however, is not cancelled. I hope someone out there enjoyed it. My favorite part of this eppy might actually be one of the intermissions. Action Bronson's new song Triceratops is right down my alley. I had a huge smile on my face watching Paul Wall in the music video. Also, outside of the Jay stuff, the A$AP Rocky Westwood freestyle over Everything I Am might be the most lyrically impressive example from this installment. In other news, I have been a menacing presence to the local Pokemon market as of late. This weekend alone I came up at least $800 probably somewhere closer to $1200 and I couldn't be more fired up about it. Crushing it solo but the past few weeks have been making super sick connections in the scene that will catapult me to local glory in no time. Thank you as always for choosing to endure these audio waves. I really appreciate it and I'll be here to serve another one next week.Your Host with the Most,Trilly Bob Thornton

“I don't think we move past challenging experiences. I think we integrate them into our identities and into the wisdom we carry forward.” -Dr. Rebecca ThompsonIn Held Together: A Shared Memoir of Motherhood, Medicine, and Imperfect Love, Dr. Rebecca Thompson, family medicine and public health physician, weaves her personal story of life-threatening pregnancy complications into the stories of twenty-one patients, friends, and medical colleagues. Through profoundly honest and emotionally raw accounts, the book creates a space for connection, offering comfort to anyone touched by challenges in building or sustaining families. At its heart, Held Together aims to expand the understanding of motherhood's true diversity, while advocating for empathy, inclusion, and improved support for all women and families.Storytelling as healing Several of Dr. Thompson's collaborators shared that working on the book was the first time they had ever told their story in a coherent, cohesive way, and that the process allowed them to integrate the experience rather than feel stuck in it. Dr. Thompson draws a distinction between “moving past” challenges and carrying them forward with purpose.Building community, one relationship at a time Near the close of the episode, Dr. Thompson reflects on what it takes to build real community: patience, persistence, and the willingness to start small. Most of Held Together was written in 20-minute windows, in parking lots, between appointments, in the in-between moments of a full life. The book itself is proof that small, consistent actions can accumulate into something meaningful.References & ResourcesBook: Held Together: A Shared Memoir of Motherhood, Medicine, and Imperfect Love by Rebecca N.

Hello to my friends and loyal listening populous via the interwebs. Welcome to Birds Come Home, what would effectively serve as the newest installment from your favorite C-List internet disc jockey. This weekend was RSD. Record Store Day for you absolute lames out there. I had it in mind all day but I didn't set up a lawn chair on the sidewalk or pitch a tent at the store. I had other extremely important plans that superseded my need to pitch a tent at a record store. I was busy advancing my position in the Pokemon realm. My game is undeniable at this point. More game than an arcade. I did make it to the record store with an hour to spare before close. I didn't leave with anything particular to RSD but I did leave with a sealed copy of Fred Again's Actual Life 2, which has been at that record shop in the same spot for a while now. I was waiting for an extremely tasteful local individual to pick it up. I was secretly hoping to look for it one of these times and find someone had bought it. That someone was me on RSD. A nice memory. This was a nice episode to me, I can't really pick a favorite part because most of it wasn't half bad. Maybe the Isley Bros on 45 take the cake with That Lady because of how distorted and synthed out the guitars sound on my copy. Thank you as always for lending me your ears and trusting my musical taste. Insider baseball, we're actually doing it Keisha. Checked recent stats and we're building in numbers. It's been around 4 years but finally seeing some growth. Almost 700 downloads this month and I'm extremely grateful and fired up about it. Serious thank you to whoever clicks on these things. I'm trying ova heeea. I'll be here with a super nasty Jay Electronica episode next week. If I can make it back from the concert. If not, there are worse ways to go. Everybody wants to go to Heaven but nobody wants to die. Your Host with the Most,Trill Belichick 

Send us Fan MailMaybe you don't need more discipline - you just need a better strategy.In this episode, Business Strategist Michelle DeNio digs into the messy middle of business growth - that stage after startup but before scale, where revenue plateaus and the tactics that worked before stop delivering. This is where most entrepreneurs double down on “doing more” and burn out instead of building something sustainable.And although this conversation centers around ADHD-friendly strategies, it's actually for anyone who has struggled to stay consistent, follow through on plans, or make traditional business strategies actually work in real life.It's usually not because they lack discipline, but because they're trying to force strategies that don't align with how they actually operate.Michelle shares a more effective approach. One that works with your brain instead of against it.In this episode, we cover: • How dopamine, hyperfocus, and demand avoidance impact execution • Why traditional 90-day plans often fail (and what to use instead) • The role of data when your brain wants to rely on emotion • The concept of “visibility seasons” vs. “sales seasons” • Simple ways to build momentum without overwhelming yourselfYou do not need an ADHD diagnosis for this to resonate.If you've ever struggled to stay consistent, follow through, or make someone else's strategy work, this episode will show you a smarter way to grow.Links & References:Come network with us!

Farmers who are trying to improve our planet and the quality of and accessibility of food from the ground up? Some of my favourite show guests over the years have been farmers. Nick Holliday of Belvedere Farm here in Australia, QLD, is full-time farming with regenerative principles and providing eggs, pork and beef. He and his family feed hundreds of families each week, through their CSA collective and other distribution partners. He has a background in union and community organising, law and freelance writing.Nick doesn't believe that “Vote with your Dollar” is going to fix this. Neither do I. I had to bring him on the show to discuss what really will help make local, nutritious and affordable food accessible to more people and what will help us step beyond culture wars and political labels and into the overlaps we all have and need, for good quality food, and work together to apply the right kinds of pressure in the right ways to effect real change. I hope you're as inspired as I am in this conversation - and that you accept the “group homework” suggestion at the end. Imagine if we all did this homework this week?
