In this week’s episode, the 100^th episode of the podcast, Stephen invited his good friend Greg Scholz back for a second interview. As they discuss the “Value of Practice,” Greg shares some experiences and insights on how we should think about practice. Some highlights include:

• Practice Makes Perfect! Does it really?
• Where to Focus
• The Importance of Consistency

In this episode, we continue our series on the "Shema" (Deuteronomy 6:4-5) by unpacking what it means for God to be "one" and how this prayer calls us to live in harmony with God and one another.

52:45 - GIVE US SOME FEED BACK

Robert shares his journey, with Dave by his side, as he learned to coexist with the deep discomfort, pain, and imbalance of his kidney transplant medication. Feeling good was inaccessible for 10 years. Through this path, he developed a deepening of his practice inquiry by asking questions of what was truly possible given his state of exhaustion from sleep deprivation, which was due to an unusual reaction to the transplant medication. Following the inquiry, he received guidance that led him to focus on what was truly possible. 

You are encouraged as always to see your own challenges in Robert's story and begin to cultivate your own inquiry and wisdom. This can lead to best thoughts, actions, and more time spent caring for yourself with the intention to move toward well-being and keeping your mind as an ally even in the most challenging of times.

Our best selves include not only compassion, love, trust, strength, wealth, and success, but also acceptance of fear, anxiety, anger, impatience, and intolerance. Being aware of that and at the same time not letting it control us is really our best self. A best self that is one-dimensional is not reliable. Continue to cultivate these awareness tools with Robert and The Introspective Guides, which can be found at awarenessthatheals.org.

Comparison is not only the thief of joy, but the thief of potential.  This week, Pat, Cody and Beau discuss the 10,000 hours rule and the intersection of joy, talent and practice.  

In this podcast episode, we shine a spotlight on the ASRM Practice Committee and its role in reproductive health care. We are joined by Dr. Alan Penzias, the Chair of the ASRM Practice Committee and a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist at Boston IVF and an associate professor at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Penzias is passionate about the Practice Committee and is here to tell us all about its work. The Practice Committee is made up of representatives from all the ASRM's affiliate societies, including reproductive surgeons, endocrinologists, infertility specialists, and more. The committee is responsible for generating evidence-based documents that guide reproductive health care practice. Dr. Penzias explains how the committee works to determine which topics are important and timely, the scope of each document, and how members of the committee work together to develop these documents.
