Rhasidat Adeleke capped her season with a gutsy fourth-place finish in the 200m at London’s high-stakes Athlos meet, clocking 22.64 seconds and earning $15K—behind Olympic champ Gabby Thomas ($65K). Facing elite competition including three Americans in a six-woman field, Adeleke surged into third on the final bend. The event, part of Alexis Ohanian’s global push for women-only elite racing, paid big: Sophie O’Sullivan took $10K in fifth place in the 800m, while stars like Marileidy Paulino and Alaysha Johnson also cashed in. Adeleke, chasing her 200m form after a European silver and Irish record, now turns her focu...

Pool plaster mottling is one of the most common complaints in new pool construction, and the industry's standard explanation, installer error or bad water chemistry, is usually wrong. 

The real cause is calcium hydroxide migration during cement cure, and it has been a solved problem in commercial concrete construction since the 1950s. The pool industry just never picked it up.

This episode covers the full mechanism: how Portland cement produces calcium hydroxide as a hydration byproduct, why it migrates to the surface, what it does when it gets there, and how the LSI determines whether y...

Your boundaries are not broken, your nervous system is trying to protect you. Cheryl Paris sits down with Hannah Curman for an honest, practical conversation about work stress, anxiety, and the quiet ways we abandon ourselves when we want to be liked more than we want to be well.

We dig into why knowing your boundaries is not the hard part. Tolerating the feeling of holding them is. Hannah shares how getting clear on your values makes every yes and no easier to live with, then challenges us with a leadership coaching question that cuts through people-pleasing...

Can AI help you prepare for the CAPM exam, or can it make you feel more prepared than you actually are?

Today, you can ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or another AI tool to explain almost anything. You can generate unlimited practice questions, create study plans, build scenarios, and have AI challenge your answers.

So, do you still need a CAPM trainer, study group, course, books, or other resources?

I started thinking about this after someone asked whether they should use Gemini to prepare for the CAPM before spending money on exam prep.

We talk about grief, gra...
