Summary

A simple trip to get your hair cut can instantly make you look years younger — and it may have little to do with the haircut itself. There’s a subtle psychological shift that happens in that moment that changes how people see you… and how you see yourself. https://www.youbeauty.com/beauty/psychology-of-hair/ At some point, everyone faces the question: Do I stay, or do I go? A job that feels off. A relationship that’s complicated. A place that no longer fits. But discomfort doesn’t always mean it’s time to leave — and comfort doesn’t always mean you should stay. Emily P. Freeman, host of The Next Right Thing (https://emilypfreeman.com/podcast/) and author of How to Walk into a Room: The Art of Knowing When to Stay and When to Walk Away (https://amzn.to/43a6d1p), shares a thoughtful, practical framework for making life’s hardest decisions with clarity instead of panic. Some songs don’t just climb the charts — they change music. Tracks like “Good Vibrations,” “Rocket Man,” and “What a Fool Believes” didn’t just become hits; they shifted the sound, the production, and even the business of rock and pop. Marc Myers, longtime Wall Street Journal contributor and author of Anatomy of 55 More Songs: The Oral History of Top Hits That Changed Rock, Pop and Soul (https://amzn.to/3TrynC4), takes us inside the stories behind these landmark recordings and explains what made them transformative. When you walk into a store, you think you’re making rational choices. But before you touch a product or read a price tag, your senses are already at work — especially your sense of smell. Retailers carefully design scents to influence how long you linger, how you feel, and how much you spend. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091214143732.htm PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Don't keep settling for clothes that don't last!

0:00.0	Today on something you should know, how getting a haircut can make you look younger, even if you don't
0:08.3	actually cut your hair. Then, how do you decide whether to stay or to go in a job or a
0:15.4	relationship? It can be a hard decision. I think it's helpful to remember something that a friend of mine,
0:21.6	Holly Good, said to me when I was questioning a situation
0:24.7	that I was invited to be a part of,
0:26.1	and little tiny red flags started to show up.
0:28.5	And she said to me, tiny red flags rarely shrink.
0:32.3	They only grow.
0:33.9	Also, how retailers appeal to your sense of smell
0:37.3	to get you to buy. And a look at some of the most iconic and important songs in rock and roll.
0:43.3	They changed music history. Each one of these had a fundamental role to play in either influencing everyone else or becoming an influence on those who came after.
0:55.8	All this today on Something You Should Know.
1:00.6	You know, I'm a sucker for a good mystery. Like, in the 1950s, a flight from New York to
1:06.8	Minneapolis just disappeared over Lake Michigan. No wreckage, no answers. Or the Die at Love
1:13.5	Pass incident, a group of experienced hikers found dead under circumstances so strange, people
1:19.9	still debate what really happened. There's a podcast called Expedition Unknown from Discovery,
1:27.4	hosted by Josh Gates, and this is what he does.
1:30.4	He doesn't just tell these stories. He goes there. He's hunted for priceless artifacts stolen
1:36.4	by the Nazis in World War II. He's traced the final flight of a pilot who vanished mid-mission
1:42.4	and searched the Great Lakes for a ship that disappeared
1:45.8	without a trace. If you love the unanswered questions of history, you know, the stuff that
1:51.1	makes you lean in, you're going to love this. Travel the globe with Josh Gates as he investigates
