    Podcast Summary

    • Leveraging LinkedIn for Hiring and Discovering Telehealth SolutionsLinkedIn is a valuable resource for small businesses to find potential hires outside of active job seekers. Telehealth services like PlushCare offer convenience and effectiveness for weight loss solutions, with online consultations, FDA-approved medications, and insurance acceptance.

      For small business owners looking to hire professionals, LinkedIn is an essential resource. It's where you can find candidates who might not be actively searching for new jobs but could still be open to the right opportunity. In fact, over 70% of LinkedIn users don't visit other leading job sites in a given month. So if you're not posting your job openings on LinkedIn, you're missing out on a significant pool of potential hires. Another takeaway is the convenience and effectiveness of telehealth services like PlushCare for those seeking weight loss solutions. With PlushCare, you can get prescribed FDA-approved weight loss medications and partner with board-certified physicians online, making it a faster and easier way to start your weight loss journey. Plus, they accept most insurance plans. Lastly, the podcast "Sickness and in Health" offers valuable insights into the non-negotiables in relationships. Each week, they discuss various topics and occasionally bring on guests to share their experiences and deal-breakers. Don't forget to engage by participating in polls and sending messages on Instagram or leaving a rating and review if you enjoy the podcast.

    • Hiding Health Issues and EmbarrassmentPeople often hide their health issues and feelings, even when asked directly. Open communication and authenticity are important for discussing health and wellbeing.

      People often hide their true feelings and health issues from others, even when asked directly. The speaker in this conversation shares an embarrassing story about not revealing his own health issue, a burn, despite being asked multiple times. He jokes about the situation turning around and him having to deal with a friend's health issue instead. The conversation also touches upon the topic of embarrassment and discomfort when discussing personal health matters. Despite the lighthearted tone, the conversation highlights the importance of open communication and authenticity when it comes to discussing health and wellbeing. The speaker also mentions that he regrets not being more forthcoming about his own health issue and encourages others to be open and honest when asked about their own wellbeing.

    • Childhood memories, health, and everyday itemsThey discussed childhood experiences, health beliefs, and quirky habits using everyday items.

      During their conversation, the speakers touched upon various topics including shared childhood memories, health issues, and everyday items. Clare mentioned having piles, leading James to recall an alien egg experience from his childhood. They also discussed their beliefs in karma and the importance of going to the doctor when health concerns arise. James revealed his unusual habit of carrying a bum bag, and they reminisced about past receptacles they've used. Despite the diverse topics, the conversation remained lighthearted and humorous throughout.

    • Unexpected challenges with hemorrhoids while travelingBeing understanding and adaptable in public spaces, and addressing personal health issues diligently, are important for maintaining comfort and humor in unexpected situations.

      Personal discomfort, in this case, hemorrhoids, can cause unexpected challenges in everyday situations. The speaker shared her experience of trying various treatments for hemorrhoids while traveling on a train with her son. Despite the discomfort, she managed to maintain a sense of humor, even when faced with a difficult seating situation due to another passenger's choice to sit in the middle seat with her child and their belongings. The story highlights the importance of being understanding and adaptable in public spaces, as well as the importance of addressing personal health issues in a diligent and proactive manner.

    • Importance of respecting others' personal space on public transportationLearn to adapt to surroundings, teach children mindfulness, respect personal boundaries, consider affordable solutions for inflation like Mint Mobile's reverse auction system and PlushCare's telehealth services for weight loss support.

      Personal space and consideration for others are important, especially in crowded public places like trains. A man taking up multiple seats with his Legos and other belongings drew frustration from a speaker, who imagined herself in the situation. She emphasized the need for children to learn to adapt to their surroundings and not disrupt others' experiences. The discussion also touched on the importance of teaching children to be mindful of others and the value of personal boundaries. Additionally, the speakers mentioned their experiences with inflation and shared solutions for affordable phone plans and weight loss. Mint Mobile offers a reverse auction system for discounted wireless plans, while PlushCare provides telehealth services for weight loss support, including FDA-approved medications for those who qualify.

    • Acknowledging petty behaviors in relationshipsRecognizing and addressing petty behaviors can help maintain healthy relationships and prevent negative consequences.

      Both Claire and Ray acknowledged their petty behaviors during their conversation last week. Claire admitted to being distracted by Ray during board games, while Ray confessed to following petty actions like buying things to annoy others. They both agreed that they could be petty at times and found amusement in sharing their experiences. However, they also acknowledged the potential negative consequences of holding grudges and not apologizing when needed. The conversation highlighted the importance of acknowledging and addressing petty behaviors to maintain healthy relationships.

    • Impact of appearances and expectations on relationshipsEffective communication and understanding are essential to maintain healthy relationships, and fixating on superficial aspects can lead to misunderstandings and negative consequences.

      Appearances and expectations can significantly impact relationships. In the shared story, a woman was deeply upset when her partner drastically changed his appearance before their mutual friend's wedding without informing her. She held a grudge against him for weeks, and their relationship eventually ended. The incident highlights the importance of communication and understanding in relationships, as well as the potential consequences of fixating on superficial aspects. It also sheds light on the fact that people's reactions to changes in appearance can be influenced by their personal experiences and emotions. In essence, the story serves as a reminder that everyone has unique expectations and preferences, and it's crucial to respect and consider each other's feelings to maintain a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

    • An argument over a deleted mobile game lasted over a decadeSmall disagreements can escalate and cause long-term damage if not addressed properly. Prioritize relationships and communication to maintain a healthy bond.

      Relationships can be tested by seemingly insignificant events, like the deletion of a mobile game. In this case, a man and his partner had been arguing for over a decade about an incident where the game Football Manager was deleted from his phone. The argument had consumed a significant portion of their relationship, with the man still harboring resentment over it. The woman insisted she didn't delete the game, but he refused to believe her. The game had become a symbol of their disagreements and had taken over their lives, with the man investing a lot of time and energy into it. The woman, on the other hand, felt neglected during this time and resented the game for taking her partner's attention away from her. The argument highlights how small issues can escalate and cause long-term damage if not addressed properly. It also shows the importance of communication and trust in maintaining a healthy relationship. Even though the game was just a mobile application, it had become a major point of contention and had kept the argument going for years. Ultimately, the incident serves as a reminder that it's essential to prioritize relationships and not let trivial matters take over.

    • Exploring Unique Experiences in Gaming and Real LifeIndividuals can find joy in diverse hobbies like gaming and discover new things, while various retailers offer convenience and resources for special occasions and life situations.

      Despite the differences in their interests, both individuals found joy in their unique experiences – one in the virtual world of Stardew Valley farming and the other in the realistic home renovation game, House Flipper. The discussion also highlighted the convenience and offerings of various retailers like Whole Foods Market and 1-800-Flowers for special occasions. Additionally, a brief mention of short-term health insurance plans from UnitedHealthcare was included. While the conversation was light-hearted, it underscored the importance of embracing individual hobbies and discovering new things, as well as the availability of resources for various life situations.
