This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century rational egoist philosopher and novelist Ayn Rand's book, The Virtue Of Selfishness. It focuses specifically upon her discussion of the virtues she recognizes - rationality, productivity, pride, independence, integrity, honesty, and justice.

The successful life is not about finding more time, but about recognizing the key levers that drive progress, avoiding the "obvious target trap" of optimizing non-essential tasks, and building consistency plank by plank until discipline becomes a natural function of a new identity

Build Discipline, Not Motivation - The Science

Dr. Jeffrey Yip, Associate Professor of Management at Simon Fraser University's Beedie School of Business, offers transformative insights through his innovative "Listen and Build to Unlock Change" approach. Drawing on extensive research and practical leadership experience, Dr. Yip emphasizes that attentive listening is not just a soft skill, it is the foundational discipline that unlocks meaningful organizational change and drives effective leadership.

Dr. Jeffrey Yip’s research sheds light on the “listening paradox” the reality that listening is hardest precisely when it’s needed most, such as during conflicts, emotional situations, or employee grievances. Managers often default to a speaking reflex, prioritizing solutions over understanding, but Yip’s work stresses three critical perspectives: the listener’s own mental experience, whether the speaker truly feels heard, and the impact of structured formats (like interviews or meetings) on effective listening. His “Listen and Build to Unlock Change” approach, taught in executive programs, emphasizes gathering input through attentive listening and then acting on diverse perspectives to fuel innovation and drive organizational momentum.

How to Use AI as Your Personal Weight Loss Coach | Step By Step - 1250

Tonight, Friday, November 28th, at 6 pm on The Brian Crombie Hour I interview ✅ Neil Seeman. 👉 ALL my 🎤 podcasts and 🎦 video casts can be accessed any time on my web site https://briancrombie.com which holds repository of all my shows. 📌 I speak with Neil Seeman, entrepreneur, researcher, and one of Canada’s sharpest voices on innovation, about why Canada excels at creativity but fails at commercialization. Neil shows how world-class ideas leave the country because we underinvest in capital, productivity, and scale-up, and why young talent follows. We discuss the real birthplace of innovation, the need for honesty over bravado, the lack of anchor firms, and how global capital moves faster than Canada does. He lays out what Canada must do now to compete in the 21st-century economy.

On Simplicity, Authenticity, and What Actually Matters
Read by Linsey Shelton

Somewhere along the way we were taught that struggle is the price of success. But what if that story isn’t true? What if a business that feels good to run isn’t a coincidence, but a choice?

In this essay, Linsey explores a new narrative for solopreneurs and small business owners — one where simplicity creates ease, ease shapes how you show up, and how you show up shapes the next best version of you.

You’ll hear reflections on:
• why ease is a design choice
• the connection between simplicity, clarity, and sustainable success
• how complexity drains momentum
• what it means to build a business that supports your real life
• the myth of struggle and the truth about aligned execution

If your business has been feeling heavier than it needs to, this piece offers permission, perspective, and a path back to clarity.

Essay- On Simplicity, Authenticity, and What Actually Matters

Hormones start shifting way earlier than anyone tells us, and for most women over 35 that sneaky change can make you feel like you are aging in fast-forward. This episode breaks down the hormone symptoms most doctors overlook and explains what is actually happening with estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone when you suddenly have brain fog, mood swings, stubborn weight gain, low libido, or sleep that goes off a cliff. Chalene also clears up the outdated fears around hormone therapy and shares the updated science every woman needs, plus simple natural hormone support options if HRT is not your thing. And if you have ever felt dismissed or confused by conflicting advice, you will hear exactly how to find a clinician who actually understands women’s hormone health so you can age powerfully instead of feeling unlike yourself.
