Why do we get cool ideas and not act on them? How do you put gratitude and ease into your day? Find out why your ego might actually be keeping you from succeeding in your life! Andrew Kap holds one goal above all others through his various projects: Genuine and Sustainable Impact. He’s the former Marketing intern for WWE, Host of Shatter The Mold Podcast, and his latest offering, “The Last Law of Attraction Book You’ll Ever Need To Read” offers readers a never-before-seen understanding of the topic — that no other “LOA” book has ever been able to do — by going the extra mile of finally addressing WHY people who get excited about trying it still can’t manage to get in the habit of using these methods for just five minutes a day. The book has enjoyed continued success, including over 1,000 five-star rave reviews, #1 Best Seller status in multiple categories on Amazon, and a growing YouTube channel devoted to it. Andrew’s also happy to share how he used his techniques to reclaim his own life (in a very little time) after losing his business and his girlfriend all in the same week. The fast changes he experienced in his finances, his love life, and his health blew him away and made him understand why these simple methods weren’t working in the past.

E

Robert J. Shprintzen is the President and Chairman of the Board for The Virtual Center for Velo-Cardio-Facial Syndrome. He has not one, not two, not three, but four different syndromes that are named after him. He’s an accomplished professional in the world of genetics, and he’s sharing the story behind the discovery of VCFS on this episode of The Better Call Daddy Show: The Safe Space for Controversy. Do you know your lineage? What story changed Robert’s perspective on what he was doing as a doctor? Tune in to find out! Velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS) was discovered by Robert J. Shprintzen, Ph.D. in 1976 when he recognized a shared pattern of anomalies in clinical findings involving a dozen patients. This put America on the map as the global leader in the treatment of this common genetic multiple anomaly syndrome. VCFS is the most common genetic multiple congenital anomaly disorder in humans. It is caused by a microdeletion of DNA from chromosome 22, typically encompassing approximately 40 genes. VCFS, also known as Shprintzen syndrome, and 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome among others, is the most common genetic multiple congenital anomaly syndrome and the most common genetic cause of psychosis. About one third of people with VCFS develop psychosis and 1-2% of all patients with schizophrenia have a 22q11.2 microdeletion. VCFS causes congenital heart disease, palate abnormalities and the most significant genetic cause of psychosis. Recent data shows it is the most common multiple anomaly syndrome in humans, occurring in one of every 1000 pregnancies. There are approximately 200,000 people in the United States with VCFS and about 30% of cases are not accurately diagnosed. This impacts their quality of life and will likely affect long-term outcomes. Me and my daddy love five star reviews you can make our day at ratethispodcast.com/bettercalldaddy

S2 Ep 110110. A Blast Of Kabbalah - Brian Baruch

E

He’s called Rumi of the 21st century! Increasingly, there is an appetite for material that coaxes the heart to “feel” in ways that offer hope, solace, healing and reunion. And as our world continues to redefine the narrative of the human condition such “feelings” are our north star, and guardians of our moral compass. And so, serving as a poet Brian Baruch touches on the fabric of something genuinely sacred. This small poet wants to help shine a light for everyone realize that although our love may seem as insignificant as a little snowball, that little snowball is about to roll down a really steep hill.” Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy!
