"It is a scientific fact that these macaques, like all other primates, including humans, are communicating. They communicate in much the same way we do - facial expressions, vocalizations, body postures, those kinds of things." - Jeff Kerr Jeff Kerr is PETA foundations Chief Legal Officer. I asked him to come on the show to talk about one of PETA’s current lawsuits against the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Nathional Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). PETA is arguing that the monkeys being tested on in a government run facility are capable of communication (or “are communicating”). And that we have a constitutional right under the First Amendment to receive their communications. This could be a game changer in allowing us to see what’s really going on in labs that are funded by taxpayer money, and which have so far been censored from public view. PETA’s lawsuit follows years of NIH’s attempts to deny Freedom of Information requests banning PETA executives from its campus and illegally censoring animal advocates’ speech on NIH’s public social media pages. Through the lawsuit, PETA is seeking a live audio-visual feed to see and hear real-time communications from the macaques who have been kept isolated, used in fear experiments, and had posts cemented into their heads. Anthropologists and other scientists have studied macaque and other primate communications for decades and know that the monkeys communicate effectively and intentionally through lip smacking, fear grimaces, body language, and various cries and sounds—all of which constitute speech under the law. Primatologists can analyze that speech on a deeper level to share their stories with the world.…

Ep 383 - Bubbles of Life, Shake it Up 2:31

vor 3 Tagen2:31

2:31

Avoid the corrosion of inaction: If we neglect our space, it can quickly become cluttered with negativity and stagnation — much like debris filling an empty room. The key is to keep moving and shaking things up! Whether it's going for a run, surrounding yourself with uplifting people, or simply trying something new, these actions can prevent your space from becoming unmovable and corroded. Remember, a flat soda loses its appeal, just like a stagnant life loses its vibrancy. Tim Hoover and Steve Mittman talk more about “chasing your space” — taking care of your mental and emotional well-being. They compare it to blowing up a balloon. If you don’t fill it with good things like positive thoughts and actions, it will fill up with negativity instead. Tim says if you don’t pay attention to your space, it gets messy and unhelpful. He also compares personal growth to the fizz in soda — movement and energy keep life exciting, and being around positive people helps you grow. The message: Don’t ignore your space — fill it with things that help you grow and stay happy.…

Ep 382 - Valuing Time and Tradition 8:36

Tradition matters — in martial arts and in life. It teaches discipline, respect, and perseverance. Old-school practices like kata still have value, even if modern systems move away from them. Tradition connects us — like family meals and passed-down customs — helping us stay grounded. Be present — Tim ties in the four dimensions (height, width, depth, time) to explain how being mindful of posture and breath can keep us aware in both martial arts and daily life. Life is short — every breath matters, so walk with confidence and make each day count.…

Introducing the Boomerang Theory — the idea that what you put out comes back to you.

Whether it’s in faith, relationships, or personal growth, success takes steady effort — not just being a “weekend warrior.” The love and energy you put in always comes back. Thanks for listening — and keep throwing your boomerang!…

Ep 378 - Learn to Teach, Teach to Learn 5:44

vor 5 weeks5:44

5:44

There’s a powerful, often cyclical connection between teaching and learning. Tim and Steve explore how the best teaching stems from a desire to understand more deeply, and how teaching others is one of the most effective ways to grow ourselves. Key Takeaways: Teaching Is Learning: Tim shares his personal journey as a teacher and how every lesson he’s ever taught helped solidify his own understanding. The process of teaching, as Steve says, often forces us to internalize knowledge more completely. Learning What You Want to Teach, Teaching What You Want to Learn: The hosts unpack the idea that our desire to teach something often reveals a deeper desire to master it. And as we teach, we discover new insights that reflect our own ongoing growth. The Student-Teacher Relationship Is a Two-Way Street: Great teachers remain open to learning from their students. Sensitivity to the needs and emotions of others is vital, not only in classrooms but in all areas of life — relationships, work, parenting, and leadership. Lessons from Master Hawk: Tim reflects on wisdom passed down from his mentor, Master Hawk, who taught that teaching is as much about knowing yourself as it is about educating others. Peeling the Onion: Teaching — and life — is like peeling an onion. As layers are removed, self-awareness and deeper emotional truths are uncovered. Growth often comes from vulnerability and reflection. The 80/20 Rule of Giving and Receiving: The episode closes with a guiding principle: effective teaching (and living) involves giving 80% and receiving 20%. In the act of giving, we often receive far more than we expect. A universal message: Whether you're a parent, coach, friend, or professional, this episode reminds us that when we teach with humility and openness, we grow in ways that continue to shape us long after the lesson ends.…

Ep 377 - Finding Your Second Wind in Life 5:33

vor 7 weeks5:33

5:33

Tim and Steve dive into what it really means to push through life’s tough moments — taking inspiration from the incredible life and legacy of boxing legend George Foreman . We talk about resilience, personal growth, and that powerful idea of finding your "second wind" — that hidden reserve of strength you only discover when you’re tested. George’s journey from an intimidating knockout artist to a wise, enduring champion reminds us that real strength isn’t just physical — it’s mental, emotional, and spiritual too. We also reflect on how easy it is to take things like our health, stability, and loved ones for granted. Life’s challenges — whether it’s illness, money troubles, or personal hardships — have a way of teaching us what really matters. And often, it’s in helping others that we find true purpose. Plus, we celebrate Foreman not just for his boxing career, but for the humor, heart, and generosity he shared with the world. His story is a beautiful reminder that strength can be soft, and that giving back is one of the most powerful things we can do. “In my first boxing career, I never ran more than three miles at a time during training. I didn't need much stamina, I always knocked opponents out in the early rounds. I knew it would be a different story the second time around. My wife would drive me eight or ten miles, then drop me off so I could run home. I found out what athletes meant when they described getting their 'second wind.' I realized I had more willpower than I thought. Once I got past the initial pain, I felt I could run forever, that’s how a lot of things are in life. You might be in a situation that's uncomfortable or even painful at first, but once you push past the pain, you find your second wind - and then nothing can stop you.” — George Foreman…

There’s a balance between chaos and order — in the universe and in our everyday lives. While the world around us can seem messy and unpredictable, we believe our purpose is to bring meaning and structure to it. Tim and Steve explore the idea that being made in God's image means we’re meant to make a positive impact, even when things feel out of control. They also touch on the importance of accepting that we won’t always have all the answers. We encourage you to find peace and purpose in the middle of life’s chaos.…
