355. The Physics of Intuition | Quantum Intelligence with Kim Chestney

Multiverses, remote viewing, and the movie “The Men Who Stare at Goats.” We cover it all in today’s episode with Kim Chestney.  Kim is the founder of the Intuition Lab and the Create Festival. Her work raises awareness about the importance of insight into the evolution of individual and world consciousness. Working for nearly 20 years in the tech sector, Kim has led initiatives with some of the top thought leaders, technology companies, and universities in the world. She’s here today to tell us about her most recent book, “The Illumination Code.” Diving into quantum physics, Kim explains that we’re living in the eternal here and now– that part of you already knows everything. Her book has seven “labs” with which you can experiment with this perception. A quick example: Remote sensing. The CIA spent a lot of resources on this kind of intuition, and according to Kim, it worked. We cover Einstein along with the Akashic Records in this unique and thought-provoking interview. Enjoy! THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY For me, I think that's really understanding that your intuition is really this master key to your life that can unlock this world of magic and wonder that we've all forgotten about. We walk around every day like we understand this world, but we really live in this world of mystery where anything's possible. And we have this huge potential that's within us that's still untapped. So I just wanna encourage everybody to trust themselves and listen to that guiding inner voice and learn to live by it every day because magic is out there. And the more you use it, the more you're going to find it.  -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

354. Unlocking the Story within You | Meaning-Making with Dr. Johnny Parker

Dr. Johnny Parker is an executive coach and consultant to pro and college sports teams athletes and C-suite leaders. He's got a 25 year track record of helping organizations to know, align, and master their story so they win at work and thrive in life. He's been everywhere in the national media– places like CNN, NBC News, Viewpoint, BET, Washington Post, among others. On top of everything, Dr. Johnny has just released a new book, “Turn the Page: Unlocking the Story within You.” Today, Dr. Johnny shares his book’s five main themes: Clarify Your Quest; Demand Bold Truth; Champion Generosity; Engage Community; Pursue Continual Renewal. Of course we make sure to throw in some Star Wars references, along with some references to top psycho-social research studies. This episode is a feast of information and anecdotes of lessons learned. Tune in to learn how to tap into your story and lead the life you desire. THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY Consider taking your name– your first name or your last name and create an acrostic and craft your core values. So we've done that as a family our last name Parker we added S for Parkers and ours is P the acrostic of P stands for pleasing God; A stands for accepting one another. The R stands for respect. The K, keeping short accounts. The E, encourage 1 another. The R, renewal. And the S is service.  So the reason that that's important, Ritz-Carlton does a stand-up meeting every day. They have 24 core values and every day they talk about 1 of their core values and it's their way of saying this is our story. They affirm the core value with a story. What happened last night in Tucson, Ritz-Carlton. What you're doing when you do that as a leader, as a family, you are actually staying more tethered to your authenticity, tethered to what really matters most.  And research shows that when leaders lead from their core values, their effectiveness is about 110% greater when they're not leading from that place of core center and authenticity.  -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

353. Taking Responsibility, Taking Control | How to Succeed with Steve Nudelberg

Steve Nudelberg is a bestselling author, expert sales trainer, business development guru, keynote speaker, and serial entrepreneur. His core philosophy is to ignite individuals and teams by enhancing their awareness about small yet powerful changes they can make to instantly sharpen individual performance centered around process, the art of building relationships, and pipeline development. We are lucky to have him on the show today. Steve is the grandson and son of shoe business owners. His own sons have taken over his company, a training and development company called “On the Ball.” You could say entrepreneurship is in his blood. But Steve would be the first to tell you it is about discipline, controlling the little things you can: How much you sleep, how much you eat, how much water you drink, you know, all of the things that you can control in mind, body, spirits, energy, and daily behaviors.   Steve has failed many times, but he has always had the confidence to get back up and try again. He has something called “tolerance for ambiguity” - a willingness to take risks. Tune in to learn how he has developed this confidence in himself and how you can too. THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY The world has changed. Many, many years ago when my company was involved in sports and sports marketing, I had the opportunity to work with Pat Riley and he said something to me then which stayed with me: The only thing in life you can count on is change so you better learn to embrace it. And the biggest shift in the business world, although there's many, is that you are the product, you are the brand. And we now have tools to allow you to market you. One of the questions I ask people is, when was the last time you bought or entertained an opportunity with somebody you didn't like? If you and I met and we didn't like each other, there's no shot I'm on this show. So the challenge in this new economy is to market yourself. You're responsible for creating your own awareness. And if you learn how to do that, your life will change and everybody around you will know.  -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

352. Healing with Love | Committing to Yourself with Lisa Manyon

When Lisa Manyon was a child, she didn’t just watch cartoons, she’d critique the commercials that ran between them. She was always thoughtful, curious, and analytical. Today, Lisa brings the same thoughtfulness and curiosity to her new book, Spiritual Sugar: The Divine Ingredients to Heal Yourself With Love. When Lisa was coming up in the marketing world, she quickly identified how much the industry relied on pressing people’s pain points. She was not going to follow that path. She blazed a trail in marketing with integrity, focusing on people’s passion points instead of pain points. She founded Write On Creative and now has a podcast, “Your Message Matters.” In 2017, when Lisa was diagnosed with cancer she approached it with the same curiosity and thoughtfulness as she approached everything. She learned about all the ways you can heal yourself with love. Then she wrote a book about it: Spiritual Sugar. Her book covers meditation, connecting with nature, and other healing modalities.  Her message, above all: “You can heal with love.” THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY I want all of our listeners to know that they matter, that they can heal with love, and it is time to commit to you. -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

351. Diving into Inner Stillness | Transpersonal Psychology with Dr. Steve Taylor

Dr. Steve Taylor has authored numerous bestselling books and is now releasing his newest book, “The Adventure: A Practical Guide to Spiritual Awakening.” He’s a senior lecturer in psychology at Leeds Beckett University and the chair of the Transpersonal Psychology Section of the British Psychological Society. Steve’s articles and essays have been published in over 100 academic journals, magazines, and newspapers. You may have seen his work in Scientific American or Psychology Today. Steve’s field of study, transpersonal psychology, examines spiritual experiences in which we transcend our normal limited ego identity. It studies spiritual transformation, spiritual development. In fact, it could simply be called spiritual psychology. To be clear, when Steve discusses spirituality, he doesn’t mean religion. He’s talking about exploring your inner being, expanding your identity, connecting more deeply with other human beings and with the universe itself.  In his newest book, “The Adventure: A Practical Guide to Spiritual Awakening,” Steve lays out a very practical, doable path for anyone seeking to grow in their spiritual development. It covers steps like disidentification from the ego, gratitude, awareness, stillness, and altruism. According to Steve, spiritual awakening isn’t something extraordinary and unattainable, it’s accessible to everyone.  THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY “Just in the same way that the surface of the ocean can sometimes be turbulent but there's always still a deep stillness beneath it. A diver knows– a diver moves from the surface of the ocean into a deep stillness beneath the waves and in the same way within our being our minds can sometimes be turbulent and restless even full of discord but there's always a deep stillness in our deep being. So I like to remind people that deep stillness is always accessible. It's always there just below the surface of your mind and you're always free to dive into it.”  -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

350. Achieving Time Freedom | Delegation Infrastructure with Mike Abramowitz

We’re thrilled to have Mike Abramowitz on the show with us today. Mike has 20 years of direct sales experience, training 5,000 plus sales reps with $17 million in sales. He has nine books in the self-help space, a podcast called “The Better than Rich Show,” and a community named “Automate, Delegate, and Systematize.” Plus, he’s founded a nonprofit, “PB&J for Tampa Bay.” Mike has scaled numerous six-figure businesses and a nonprofit to be run without him so he can experience the time freedom that he desires. Now he focuses on helping other busy entrepreneurs implement systems in their businesses by leveraging automation and delegation.  Growing up, Mike watched his father grind hard every day as a plumber in order to provide for his family but miss out on a lot of family time because of it. Mike also fell into this pattern– as a top salesman at Cutco for over 20 years, he worked long hours. As he started his author and speaker career on top of everything, his personal relationships and health started to break down. So Mike decided to shift his mindset and his work: He decided to buy back his time. He put infrastructure in place so his company and nonprofit could run without depending on him too much. He pivoted to using offshore virtual assistants, artificial intelligence, and creating FAQ libraries and other tools to “replace” him. This structure was tested when his son was born prematurely and had to spend 8 months in the NICU. It worked. Mike could spend time with his family without his business suffering. His son is now healthy and thriving, and Mike has the time freedom he always wanted. When he does log hours, it is to help other business operators become business owners and truly experience the financial and time freedom that drew them to entrepreneurship in the first place. THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY Get clear on exactly the type of things that you want in your life or don't want and pursue the things that you want and let go of the things that you don't want with intentionality. And if there's any way that we could support with our team with Better Than Rich to support that, I would love to do, I would do a free delegation plan with any of your listeners if they wanna reach out. I would do a 90 day delegation plan of how to let go of anything it is that they wanna let go of and get off their plate. It's something that we love doing for anybody that would enjoy having that conversation. -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

349. Cracking the Communication Code | Relational Intelligence with Steve Cockram

Our guest today is Steve Cockram. He's the co-founder of Giant, a world leader in relational intelligence, trusted by Google, Microsoft, Delta, Pfizer, the US military, and leaders across the world. Steve is here today to talk about his latest book, "The Communication Code," which was the number one new release on Amazon in all categories when released, and currently the number one book in business and management on Amazon. The impetus for the book was Steve’s observation that maintaining healthy long term relationships is the exception, not the norm today. When he looked at root causes, he saw that communication failures were at the heart of the breakdowns. He noticed that many times people don’t receive and respond to information in the manner which it was intended. That’s why he came up with the 5 Communication Codes. Communication Codes help the receiver/respondent understand the intent and desired response of the messenger. The 5 codes are: Critique, collaboration, clarify, care, and celebrate. He gives the example that his wife might tell him something she is struggling with, letting him know that she is communicating in the code “care.” That lets him know she isn’t looking for him to solve a problem, but to just be emotionally present with her. Steve tells us of marriages and business relationships saved by this Communication Codes concept. He encourages everyone to give it a try, even if they’re feeling like their relationship is on the brink of failure. A simple communication code could change everything. THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY “Communication can be made to work in any relationship. And actually, with the tools, you have a real chance, but without you don't. Intent is not enough for communication in a relationship. You actually need some tools if you are wired differently. If you're the same as someone else, we just get on and we're fine. But I think for me is where people have given up hope or where people have almost reached a point where they're not sure this relationship is gonna last, I would say give it one last spin because the communication code has the ability to begin creating hope in people's lives, in the relationships they were most loved to see life happening.” -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

346. Embracing the Wild: How Shelby Stanger's Adventures Inspire Personal Growth and Fearlessness

Shelby Stanger, a seasoned adventurer and podcast host, has carved a unique niche through her explorations and storytelling. Her journey, chronicled in the latest episode of "The Daily Helping," is a testament to the power of embracing the wild, both in nature and within oneself. As a journalist-turned-podcaster, Shelby created "Wild Ideas Worth Living," a platform acquired by REI, where she interviews various adventurers, sharing her own extensive surfing and outdoor experiences. Shelby's path was shaped by early life challenges, including the loss of her father. This personal tragedy highlighted the brevity of life and steered her towards surfing and nature, which she found to be healing and meditative. These experiences underscore her philosophy: that adventure is not just an activity, but a crucial element for mental well-being and personal growth. "Will to Wild," her insightful book, delves into the mindset necessary for adventures, the challenges faced, and the transformative effects of such experiences. It's a blend of personal anecdotes and interviews, providing practical guidance for those looking to embark on their own adventures. A key theme in Shelby's narrative is the role of fear. She discusses how facing fears in the wilderness can empower individuals to confront life's broader challenges, offering tactics like focusing on the present to manage fear. Shelby's message resonates beyond the realm of adventurers. She advocates for the importance of starting - in adventures and life - emphasizing action over extensive planning. The transformative power of kindness, both towards oneself and others, is a recurring theme in her stories. Her insights serve as a reminder of the therapeutic nature of the outdoors and the profound impact of small acts of bravery and compassion. In a world that often feels overwhelming, Shelby Stanger's philosophy offers a refreshing perspective on the interplay between nature, fear, kindness, and self-discovery. THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY “There's two things. One, go outside in nature as often as you can and breathe. And the second is be kind. In interviewing all the adventurers I've interviewed, hundreds, maybe thousands, kindness is a game-changer. It'll get you out of a jam. It'll help you on your way. It'll bring you trail magic. It'll just change your life and kindness is really an important part of adventure and that's not just being kind to other people and kind to animals and trees but it's being kind to yourself. Like we can all be really hard on ourselves and you have to laugh at yourself on the way. You're gonna look ugly sometimes when you're surfing. You're gonna have a wedgie. Your bikini is gonna be up your booty and your boob might be hanging out and you gotta learn to laugh. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to others. Get outside and have fun.” -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Today’s expert guest is James Burstall, the CEO of the international production group Argonon. With a rich background in journalism and executive roles in TV production, Burstall brings a unique perspective on leadership, particularly in navigating challenging times. At the heart of Burstall's philosophy is his people-first approach.

343. Empowering Change Through Emotional Mastery and Economic Engines with Dame Doria Cordova

Dame Doria Cordova is a visionary in the world of entrepreneurial education. As the CEO and owner of Accelerated Business Schools and the Money in You program, Doria has made significant contributions to uplifting humanity's consciousness through socially responsible businesses. Her journey into the world of human potential began with an enlightenment experience that shifted her career path dramatically. At 26, working as a court reporter, she felt a calling that changed her life. This calling led her to the EST program and eventually to meeting Buckminster Fuller, whose ideas on sufficiency and global resources deeply influenced her. Doria's entrepreneurial spirit is not just about building businesses but about creating economic engines that align with personal values and purposes. She emphasizes the significance of emotional intelligence and self-mastery, stating that mastering one's emotions is crucial for making sound decisions. Her approach to business is holistic, combining financial literacy with a commitment to social responsibility. By focusing on creating businesses that solve global problems, she believes one can achieve both wealth and fulfillment. One of the most powerful takeaways from Doria’s message is the concept of sufficiency. In a world often seen through the lens of scarcity, she encourages us to recognize the abundance of resources and opportunities available. She urges us to focus on being of service as a pathway to wealth and happiness. This aligns with Buckminster Fuller's philosophy of making the world work for everyone through cooperation. Doria Cordova's story is a testament to the power of aligning one’s career with a deeper purpose. Her approach offers a roadmap for anyone seeking to transform their professional life into a meaningful journey that contributes positively to the world. Her message is clear: by mastering our emotions, aligning our business with our values, and focusing on service, we can create not just successful careers, but also a more fulfilling and impactful life. THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY “Being of service is truly the key to happiness and joy. So one of the questions that Buckminster Fuller left the world with that we follow as much as we can is how can we make the world work for 100% of humanity through spontaneous cooperation in the shortest possible time without any ecological offense nor the disadvantage of anyone? So when you create a product or service that answers that question, the chances of you being wealthy and happy have just exponentially grown. So just remember being of service is key to being wealthy and being happy and go out there and get them.” -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

337. Transforming Lives with Feng Shui: Unveiling the Secrets with Marie Diamond

Today’s expert guest is Marie Diamond, a globally celebrated transformational leader, speaker, and author. Diamond, renowned for her unique blend of the law of attraction, quantum physics, meditation, and feng shui, has guided the paths of billionaires, celebrities, and corporate giants toward unprecedented success. In her book, "Feng Shui Your Life," Marie Diamond offers a beginner-friendly guide to harnessing the power of feng shui. The book provides practical steps to align one's environment with their personal energy number – a unique identifier based on one's birthday. This personalization ensures that every individual can apply these principles effectively in their own life. In our everyday lives, we are constantly interacting with our environment, yet we rarely pause to consider its impact on our well-being and success. Marie Diamond's principles of feng shui bring this critical element to the forefront. By aligning our physical spaces with our personal aspirations, we open ourselves to a world of possibilities. One of the key takeaways from Diamond's teachings is the concept of the 'three-dimensional vision board.' Our homes and offices are not just physical structures; they are reflections of our inner world. The clutter in our spaces can lead to mental chaos, while a well-organized and thoughtfully arranged environment can enhance clarity, focus, and positive energy flow. As we navigate our own paths, let us take a leaf out of Marie Diamond's book and look around. Our environment is not just a backdrop to our lives; it is a canvas waiting to be painted with our deepest desires and highest aspirations. THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY “I want you to really go into your home and become aware of how your home feels and if your home is the vision of what you really want in your life. If it's clutter, create harmony. If it's the wrong images, put some other things around you.

336. Embracing Positivity: Anthony Iannarino's Journey of Transformation

Anthony Iannarino, a renowned author and expert in sales and leadership, recently shared his profound journey and insights on "The Daily Helping" podcast. His story is not just about professional success; it's a testament to the power of positivity and resilience in the face of adversity.  Raised by a single mother, Anthony's early life was marked by challenges. His pursuit of rock and roll during his teenage years was abruptly halted by a health scare - a grand mal seizure, which led to the diagnosis of an arteriovenous malformation. This experience was a turning point, shifting his focus toward academic and professional pursuits. He graduated summa cum laude, attended Harvard Business School, and later, transitioned to building a family business, writing, and public speaking. Anthony's latest work, "The Negativity Fast," is rooted in his personal transformation. The book emphasizes the importance of eliminating negativity, including avoiding negative media and influences. This approach isn't just philosophical; it's backed by science. Anthony cites studies demonstrating the myriad benefits of gratitude on physical and mental health, including reduced stress and enhanced immune function. He practices and recommends Martin Seligman's "three blessings" exercise, reflecting on positive events daily to foster a healthier, more optimistic mindset. Handling negative influences, especially in unavoidable situations, is a challenge many face. Anthony's advice? Avoid divisive topics and focus on positive interactions. He stresses the significance of shifting our attention from self-oriented to other-oriented actions. His personal anecdotes about helping animals and the homeless underline the psychological benefits of altruism, often referred to as "Helper's High."  Anthony's message is clear: practicing gratitude and helping others are not just noble acts; they are pathways to personal growth and happiness. He encourages everyone to start small, either by practicing gratitude or by helping those in need. These actions have a ripple effect, benefiting not just the individual but society as a whole. In a world often clouded by negativity and divisiveness, Anthony Iannarino's insights offer a beacon of hope and a practical roadmap to a more positive, fulfilling life. His story and advice resonate with anyone looking to overcome negativity and embrace a journey of growth and transformation. THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY “Do one of two things: Start the three blessings exercise, that will help you feel a whole lot better.

335. Finding Strength in Brotherhood: Jarrad Turner's Mission to Uplift Veterans

In today’s Veterans Day episode of The Daily Helping, our expert guest is Jarrad Turner, a combat veteran whose service to his country has transitioned into a service for his fellow veterans. Turner's military background is not just a testament to his courage but also to his commitment to camaraderie and brotherhood—a theme that defines both his personal struggles and his post-service mission. Turner's story is one of valor and vulnerability. His return from combat was not just a physical journey back home but a mental and emotional odyssey. He candidly shares the yearning to return to the front lines, not driven by the adrenaline of war but by the bond with his brothers in arms. This profound sense of belonging and purpose often goes missing when service members trade their uniforms for civilian clothes, and Jarrad was no exception. His battle scars were not only the ones visible to the eye but also the cognitive and psychological challenges that followed him long after the battles ended. Turner's insights offer actionable advice for veterans and civilians alike: healing is a communal effort. It requires the support of those who understand the unspoken language of shared experiences. For veterans, Turner's story is a beacon of hope, showing that the path to recovery, though winding, is lined with the support of fellow soldiers turned lifelong friends. THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY “When you transitioned into the military, no matter what branch of service it was, you didn't do it by yourself. There was a multitude of people that helped you as you transitioned into service. So what we ask you is, don't try to do this by yourself. You had a team when you went into the military, you have a team when you're separated from the military. We are part of that team. So if you need help, if you have questions, all I ask you to do is reach out and give us a try. Call us, send us an email, send us a text message, but do not try to do this by yourself. Transition is hard at multiple levels. And even if you transition or separated from the military 20 years ago, it doesn't mean you had a successful transition. We are here to help you. Don't do this by yourself. You want to do it on a battlefield by yourself. Don't try to do it on this new, different arena. Don't try to do it by yourself.” -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

With a career spanning strategic communication counsel and inspirational speaking, Ullman’s unique blend of talents serves as a testament to the power of authenticity and passion in creating a meaningful impact.

His book, "Find Your Whistle," encourages us to uncover and utilize our innate abilities to enrich the world around us. Finding your whistle starts with introspection.

This journey may be fraught with challenges, but it's through overcoming these hurdles that one’s purpose becomes evident. Ullman's own path demonstrates that even the simplest skills, like whistling, can bring joy and connection to others. In the digital age, where authentic connection is often scarce, Ullman's approach to communication stands out. He stresses the importance of genuine interactions, whether it’s through public speaking or one-on-one mentorship. Active listening and sincerity are the cornerstones of his strategy, fostering deeper connections and understanding. The takeaway from Ullman's philosophy is straightforward: Discover your unique voice, and let it be heard. It's not about complexity or grandeur, but about the honesty and joy that a simple act can convey. Ullman's journey isn’t just about his success but about the inspiration he spreads through his simple yet profound talent. As Ullman continues to share his melody, he challenges us to explore and express our own. Whatever your whistle may be, it holds the potential to inspire, connect, and transform. So, find that simple gift within you, and let it sing to the world. THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY “Be grateful. Gratitude is critical. One of the founders of Carlyle was in an interview with a reporter and he was recounting growing up with a single mom and how they struggled. And he works hard and gets a great education, eventually becomes a billionaire. He says he levitates out of bed every day with gratitude for his blessings. That is the most important lesson in the book, to be grateful for what you've got. That doesn't mean you don't suffer, but we must focus on the positive. And that emphasis can actually be a momentum that helps you get over the negative as well.” -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

333. Embracing Self-Worth and Love with Scott Stabile

Scott Stabile, author of "Enough As You Are" and "Big Love: The Power of Living with a Wide Open Heart", is no stranger to the transformative power of love. Through his books, personal empowerment workshops, and transformational breath work journeys, he has been a beacon of hope for many, guiding them towards a life filled with love and self-acceptance. Growing up, Stabile experienced various events and situations that shaped his outlook on life. However, it was during his early twenties when he began to recognize the profound impact of the choices we make in our lives. He observed that when he chose to act out of love, aligning himself with its energy, his life seemed to fall into place. This realization was not just about romantic love but about an encompassing energy of love that exists both within and around us. This energy, he believes, plays a pivotal role in how we approach life, others, and most importantly, ourselves. Diving deeper into the essence of self-worth, Stabile's book, "Enough As You Are", comes at a time when the world is riddled with unrealistic expectations and beauty standards. Through a compilation of writings that reflect on self-love and self-acceptance, he introduces readers to the concept of inherent worth. According to him, our worth is not determined by our career, looks, or any societal benchmark. Instead, we are all born with it, and it remains with us throughout our lives. It is this inherent worth that dictates how we interact with the world. When we embrace our worth, we move through life with an openness that invites positive interactions. On the other hand, those who haven't recognized their worth tend to be more closed off, guarded, and hesitant. However, recognizing one's worth is just the beginning. True self-acceptance, as Stabile points out, involves not only accepting every part of ourselves but also accepting the parts of us that struggle with this acceptance. In a society where we are constantly bombarded with messages about what is deemed 'beautiful' or 'successful', it's easy to fall into the trap of self-judgment. But instead of berating ourselves for these judgments, Stabile invites us to understand the root of such thoughts and make room for them. By shining love even on the parts of us we find hard to like, we pave the way for a healthier relationship with ourselves. Scott Stabile's insights into love and self-worth are not just teachings but life philosophies that have the power to transform lives. As we navigate the complexities of modern life, it's essential to remember that we are enough as we are. THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY “You are enough as you are. You are worthy as you are. Trust that, believe that, and even the places within you that you have the hardest time liking, understand that you can still shine love on them. And when you do, your entire relationship with yourself is going to change.” -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Dr. Philip Ovadia is not just a cardiothoracic surgeon; he is a testament to the transformative power of metabolic surgery. Having once been morbidly obese himself, Dr. Ovadia embarked on a journey that led him to the forefront of metabolic health and surgery. His expertise, combined with his personal experience, makes him uniquely equipped to discuss the profound impact of these procedures on overall health. For many, the term "metabolic surgery" might conjure images of drastic weight loss procedures reserved for the extremely obese. However, Dr. Ovadia's story challenges these preconceived notions. His transformation was not just about shedding pounds but about gaining a deeper understanding of metabolic health. Through his journey, he realized the potential of metabolic surgeries to address the root causes of many chronic diseases, rather than merely treating their symptoms. One key takeaway from Dr. Ovadia's insights is the importance of viewing metabolic surgery as a tool, not a cure. While these procedures can lead to significant weight loss and improvement in conditions like diabetes and hypertension, the real success lies in the post-operative journey. Nutrition, lifestyle choices, and individualized care play crucial roles in ensuring long-term health benefits. In his book, "Stay off My Operating Table", Dr. Ovadia delves deeper into these concepts, offering readers a comprehensive guide to metabolic health. For anyone grappling with metabolic health issues or considering metabolic surgery, Dr. Ovadia's message is clear: stay informed, prioritize individual needs, and always strive for overall health optimization. After all, it's not just about the weight we lose but the health and vitality we gain. THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY “I want people to understand that they are in charge of their health, they are empowered, and they can make these changes to avoid my operating table and to really feel their best every day. Don't be sitting back waiting for your doctor to do this for you. Don't think that the government is going to do this for you. It is up to you to take charge of your health, empower yourself, educate yourself, and figure out how you can get yourself to optimal health.” -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

331. Understanding AI as a Storytelling with Roy Vella

Is AI going to take over the world like in Terminator? Roy Vella knows the answer to that question and a few more advanced questions too. Roy is a digital strategy expert, AI expert, professional speaker, independent, non-exec director, advisor, and consultant to enterprises large and small. As a resourceful Stanford, JD, MBA, and US UK citizen, Roy has proven complex problem-solving skills and global execution, delivering high growth, digitally driven teams. He runs a management consultancy, providing strategic advice and commercial services to digital leaders worldwide, particularly as an expert in deep tech, FinTech, and smart home industries. Roy tells us what AI is good at right now, and what it is not good at…. yet. He uses ChatGPT as an example. ChatGPT is good at figuring out what words tend to appear together, in what order, and in what context. That is because it has been trained on massive datasets called large language models (LLM). That makes iChatGPT good at storytelling. However, ChatGPT is not good at accuracy. So it may tell a great story, but it doesn’t know if that story has any accuracy or not. Therein lies the biggest danger, according to Roy. Roy emphasizes that in a world with increasingly capable AI, our focus should be on critical thinking. We should be teaching students how to think through what are the best prompts or questions so they can pull the best output from AI. Because the amount of computation power that is coming our way will blow our collective human minds. THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY Storytelling came through in our conversation about the risks of AI storytelling, but the flip side is also true. We are story telling and digesting creatures. I tell folks all the time, no matter what your job is, no matter what you're doing, knowing how to tell a good story is crucial to success. For all my advanced education, it's improv training that was probably some of the most valuable stuff I learned. And the problem is we don't practice it anymore. We used to, you know, the sun went down, the lights went out and we sat around a fire and told stories to each other. And we don't do that anymore. But the most successful people tell the best stories. I mean, it's as simple as that– whether they're a politician or a CEO or leader of a church or whatever, right? It is the ability to tell stories and the practice of doing that. You can't just read about telling stories, you gotta practice it. When I'm talking to entrepreneurs, which I do a lot, I'm saying you got to practice the story. You got to tighten that up. You got to tell me why I should believe that and how it's going to work. Storytelling is almost the crux of all success, in my opinion. -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

330. Unlocking the Future with XR: A Dive into the Digital Realm with Alan Smithson

Alan Smithson is no stranger to innovation. As the CEO of MetaVRse, a trailblazing XR (Extended Reality) consulting and product development company, he has positioned himself as a vanguard in the realm of VR, AR, and MR. With predictions pointing to XR becoming a $1 trillion industry by 2030, Alan's expertise and vision are more crucial than ever. But beyond the numbers, it's his passion for the transformative power of this technology that truly stands out. Alan's journey into the world of XR might seem unorthodox at first glance. From the beats of his DJ company to the digital landscapes of VR, his path was shaped by a serendipitous encounter at a tech conference. This pivotal moment made him realize the boundless potential of XR – not just as a novel entertainment medium, but as a tool that could reshape industries, redefine education, and revolutionize our interaction with the digital world. But what does this all mean for us? For Alan, the answer is clear: education and training. He envisions a world where students can step into the heart of ancient Rome, feel the pulse of a bustling 20th-century metropolis, or explore the depths of space – all from the safety of a classroom. This immersive learning, he believes, is the key to a more engaged, informed, and inspired generation. XR also has the potential to give people access to training on complex devices in safe environments that would normally take months to train on. And with the rapid advancements in haptic technology and the rollout of 5G networks, this vision is closer to reality than we might think. So, as we stand on the brink of this digital frontier, let's take a moment to appreciate that the future isn't just something that happens; it's something we create. With XR, we have the tools. Now, all we need is the imagination to unlock their potential. THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY “Don’t criticize, condemn, or complain. I think that’s the best advice I have, because it allows you to focus on the positives in your life, not the negatives.

Our guest today is Jonathan Robinson, a beacon of positivity and a staunch advocate for embracing life's countless blessings. His insights resonated deeply, reminding us of the countless moments of beauty, joy, and wonder that we often overlook in our daily hustle. Jonathan's journey is a testament to the transformative power of gratitude. He emphasizes that while life showers us with endless moments of happiness, joy, and love, many of us fail to acknowledge them.

This simple act can work wonders, anchoring us in the present and allowing us to tap into a deeper sense of bliss and contentment.

After all, the journey to the best version of ourselves starts with a heart full of gratitude. THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY “There's so many good things in life, but if we're not like acknowledging them by saying thank you for this life, in little moments, just feeling our heart and saying thank you, we miss it.

327. Blooming in Adversity with Carrington Smith

Today, we are joined by Carrington Smith, the acclaimed author of “Blooming: Finding Gifts in the Shit of Life.” Carrington's journey, celebrated in platforms like Forbes and Fast Company, is a testimony to the indomitable spirit of human resilience. Born into the illustrious legacy of the founders of the International Paper Company, one might assume a life of privilege and ease awaited her. Yet, as family fortunes dwindled over generations, so did familial unity, leaving in its wake an undercurrent of resentment and an overbearing pressure to uphold revered family standards. While her family’s history boasts of prestigious alma maters like Miss Porter School in Farmington for her grandmother, mother, and sister, Carrington’s own educational journey was markedly different. She attended public schools and pursued higher studies at Washington State University. It was here that she faced one of the darkest episodes of her life, a harrowing sexual assault. This traumatic experience remained a silent burden for six years, until the corridors of law school gave her the sanctuary she needed to find her voice. Carrington's path to healing began when she broke her silence. She found a beacon of hope in “The Gift of Fear” by Gavin de Becker, realizing that trauma could be worn not as a chain, but as a medal of courage. This wasn’t a tale of mere survival but of turning pain into power. Carrington's life philosophy, poignantly reflected in her book title, encourages embracing challenges as opportunities for growth. Her candid message emphasizes the importance of owning one’s story, processing every emotion - from anger and grief to euphoria, and especially amplifying the voices of women, who often navigate a world trying to mute them. For Carrington, life's adversities are not about recounting losses but about recognizing the gains that come with them—like the allure of starting afresh and the freedom to carve out a new narrative. THE BIGGEST HELPING: TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY “With adversity comes opportunity. That little piece of sage advice has been such an important piece of wisdom that absolutely has transformed my life. I people can just walk away with that and know that how they view an event is going to determine the outcome, and if they can always be on the lookout for growth and opportunity, they're gonna live a much happier life.” -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

326. Finding Life-Enhancing Benefits in Anxiety with Dr. Kirk J. Schneider

Today we welcome Dr. Kirk J. Schneider to the show. He is a towering figure in the field of psychology, specializing in existential humanistic and existential integrative psychology. Not only is he an adjunct faculty member at some of the most prestigious institutions like Saybrook University and Teachers College, Columbia University, but he also co-founded and currently presides over the award-winning Existential Humanistic Institute. His new book, "Life-Enhancing Anxiety: Key to a Sane World,” https://www.amazon.com/Life-Enhancing-Anxiety-Sane-World/dp/1955737185/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3D9Y81GXPHC80&keywords=life-enhancing+anxiety&qid=1675394006&sprefix=life-enhancing+anxiety%2Caps%2C111&sr=8-3 promises to be a game-changer and is now available everywhere. Dr. Kirk J. Schneider's journey into the world of psychology began at a young age. When he was just two and a half years old, he lost his seven-year-old brother, a tragedy that threw him into a whirlpool of emotions and led him to early psychoanalytic therapy. Far from being a crutch, this therapy experience transitioned him from a state of paralyzing fear to one of boundless curiosity and wonder. Influenced by his father, a humanistic educator, and captivated by classic shows like "Outer Limits" and "The Twilight Zone," Kirk developed a multi-dimensional worldview that eventually led him to dig deep into existential humanistic psychology. Some might question what they think to be a contradiction in the title of Kirk’s new book: How can anxiety be life-enhancing? Well, it turns out that there is something called 'Eustress,' which Dr. Schneider describes as a positive form of anxiety that can be energizing and life-affirming. If you're struggling with the weight of existence, he recommends setting aside undistracted time for practices like diaphragmatic breathing and mindfulness. And if that seems too overwhelming, it might be a sign to consider therapy for a deeper dive.   The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway “My latest life enhancing anxiety is this YouTube channel that I'm developing called Corps of Depth Healers. It's an attempt to gather resources for people, especially for people who have some training, some serious ability to go out there in the world and translate these principles of depth-oriented practice that we've been talking about, helping people cultivate presence, namely, but to translate those principles to addressing social crisis in the world.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.
