If you're anything like me you listen to podcasts and end up having follow up questions or comments for the guests and hosts. I'll be sitting in my car thinking, "Wait....I want to know more about that!" This episode is giving me an opportunity to ask those questions.

Today I'm catching up with Ray Harkins. He's the singer for the hardcore band Taken but also the host of one of my favorite podcasts, 100 Words Or Less. It was a pleasure to catch up with Ray and to chat about the hardcore and heavy music scene for a bit. I'll be honest, my involvement in the scene has dwindled a lot over the last few years but I still have so much love for it. It felt good to go down a rabbit hole with Ray.

W. Chris Winter on The Rested Child

One thing I've learned over the last couple years of my health journey is how important it is to get a good night's sleep. Sleep is crucial in so many aspects of health. As adults we can recognize that and try to make changes.

But we seem to be ignoring the negative affects that it may have in our children. We put all kinds of focus on getting our babies to sleep and then we let them fend for themselves until they become adults.

Kids are being described as being fussy, lazy and some are being diagnosed with ADHD when much of the problem is they aren't getting enough sleep.

Neurologist and sleep expert Dr. W. Chris Winter has a new book called 'The Rested Child'. Chris identifies the signs and symptoms of the most common sleep disorders affecting children today, and gives practical advice for parents and caregivers to help address these issues.

It was a pleasure chatting with Chris for this episode. He's full of knowledge and he's able to relay his expertise in a very easy way. And it's always great to catch up with a fellow Depeche Mode fan.

How To Master The Marathon With Ali Nolan

I met Ali Nolan after I reached out to her via social media because I had read one of her articles in Runner's World. She touched on a lot of things that I was going through with my running at that point. She agreed to have a chat with me (which you can listen to in episode 9 of this show) and we hit it off.

During that conversation Ali mentioned that she was working on a book. I'm happy to report that the book is finally here! It's called 'Master the Marathon: The Ultimate Training Guide For Women.' I think this is such a masterpiece that covers all of the angles people need while preparing for big races.

It's a pleasure to have Ali back on Adult Education. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
