Adam And Rob From Kings Of Pain

Listen to "Adam Thorn and Rob Alleva From History's Kings Of Pain" on Spreaker. HISTORY’S new unscripted series Kings of Pain follows wildlife biologist Adam Thorn and professional animal handler Rob “Caveman” Alleva as they get bit and stung by some of the world’s most dangerous animals and vicious stinging –including a reticulated python, a giant Asian centipede and an executioner wasp–to create a comprehensive pain index that will ultimately help save lives. In 1983 entomologist Dr. Justin O. Schmidt began ranking stinging insects on a scale from 1-4, putting himself in harm’s way for science, to create the Schmidt sting pain index. Now, Thorn and Alleva take it even further by adding venomous bites and more deadly creatures and ranking them on a 30-point scale with new categories including intensity, duration and damage. Their goal is to create an educational tool showcasing which creatures humans should avoid and what to do in the event they do get bitten or stung.

Keri Gans

Listen to "Keri Gans Almonds Help Aging Skin" on Spreaker.

This pilot study, funded by the Almond Board of California, represents the first indication that almonds might offer skin benefits, especially for post-menopausal women. Almonds are rich in antioxidant vitamin E, which may help protect cells from the damaging effects of free radicals, caused by pollution, UV rays from the sun, cigarette smoke and other environmental and intrinsic factors. One serving of 23 almonds (about an ounce) provides 50% of your daily recommended vitamin E needs.

Strength Comes From Interviewing The Interviewer

Listen to "Strength Comes From Interviewing The Interviewer" on Spreaker. To become great at interviewing people you've got to put yourself in situations where you too will be interviewed. Then go back and study how you acted and reacted to each question as it was delivered. It teaches the creative mind to be aware of not only what your guests are saying but how they are laying out their thoughts. Be a better listener because it leads to a greater connection. On this podcast we travel through my daily writing to October of 2016. I was about to have a conversation with NFL quarterback Tim Tebow. To prepare for the openness that I knew Tim would bring I put myself in front of others that asked me questions. His book was faith based and that meant as the interviewer I couldn't hold back on openly talking about a relationship with God. Although I show prepped the night before I needed to be ready for every direction we could possibly go without buckling. Religion is a very tough subject for some to talk about. I didn't want to come across as one of them. Therefore I trained by allowing others to publicly interview me before I stepped into a conversation with Tim. I not only documented but nearly four years later we are still learning from it. The podcast also includes that talk with Mr. Tebow.
