In this episode I open up about a huge shift I've had recently in my home, my mindset and my business. Inspired by a conversation with Kimberley Gallagher and an incredible strategy day with two future MANI-FEST speakers, I ended up intentionally decluttering my entire house, clearing stagnant energy and quite literally making space for clarity, creativity and new opportunities. From dreams that turned into action, to bundles that transformed my business, and even glimpses of what's coming for MANI-FEST 2026, including our newest main stage speaker... this episode is all about trusting the nudge, creating space and following what feels aligned!www.mani-fest.uk

Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well
What do you do when your trust is broken, or when people start questioning your trustworthiness? Chances are, you're left feeling unsure, even overwhelmed. Most of us don't really understand how trust works, so trying to fix it can feel impossible.In this episode, Peter Kim from USC's Marshall School of Business breaks it down for us. Drawing from his book How Trust Works, he shares over twenty years of research on what makes people trustworthy, why trust gets broken, and how relationships can actually be repaired.Join us for a conversation about the science of trust and discover what it really takes to build, break, and restore the connections that matter most.Listen and Learn: Why trust is essential for cooperation, even though it makes us vulnerable, and how people who choose to trust ultimately function and flourish better than those who don'tHow trust is defined as a willingness to be vulnerable in situations involving real risk, and why acting as if you trust someone is not the same as truly trusting themHow trust violations fall into competence or integrity, and how we weigh positive and negative information differently for each, shaping how we perceive and respond to others' actionsThe effectiveness of apologies depends on whether a violation is seen as a matter of competence or integrity, and how our motivation to preserve relationships influences the way we interpret and respond to wrongdoingMoving beyond black-and-white judgments of right and wrong to explore the gray areas in human behavior and foster a more nuanced understanding and dialogueHow to begin rebuilding trust by acknowledging the other person's concerns, assuming shared core values, and creating a safe space for honest, collaborative conversation, even when opinions deeply differWhy apologies for integrity violations are so hard to accept, and ways to reframe actions or create narratives that allow people to recognize errors and pursue redemptionResources: How Trust Works: The Science of How Relationships Are Built, Broken, and Repaired https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781250838155 Peter's Website: https://peterhkim.com Connect with Peter on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterkim/ My Octopus Teacher movieAbout Peter Kim Peter is a Professor at USC's Marshall School of Business, where he teaches some of the most popular MBA courses around—probably because everyone wants to know why their apologies keep backfiring. His research on trust violation and repair has ten national and international awards, been featured everywhere from the New York Times to NPR, and culminated in his 2023 book How Trust Works: The Science of How Relationships Are Built, Broken, and Repaired, which won the Academy of Management's 'Distinguished Winner' award for making significant contributions to both science and practice.Related Episodes: Episode 51.

This episode opens "Someday I'll Love" poems through the vivid imagery of a young poet's connection with their grandmother, remembering in love as memory begins to slip. Emerald ᏃᏈᏏ GoingSnake is an Indigenous poet from the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation in Oklahoma. Winner of the 2024 Maureen Egen Writers Exchange Award for poetry and the recipient of the 2023 Indigenous Nations Poets fellowship, they live in St. Louis. Portrait by Erin Lewis Photography The poem was featured on Poem-a-Day and can be found at the Academy of American Poets. See here for the poem online. (https://poets.org/poem/someday-ill-love) Someday I'll Love— Emerald ᏃᏈᏏ GoingSnake —after Frank O'Hara like I dreamt of the lamb—slaughtered, forgotten, lying on porcelain tile, on crimson-filled grout— and woke up thinking of my grandmother, of her Betty Boop hands that held marbled stone, held dough-balled flour, held the first strands of my hair floating atop the river— like winter apples, the ones that hang outside my living room window and survive first snowfall to feed the neighborhood crows, how they fall beneath my boots, staining my rubber soles with epigraphs of rot, epigraphs of fors, of dears, of holding on till frost's end. Someday I will see long-forgotten fingerprints on the inside of my eyelids as I go to sleep, as I close my eyes for silence on a Wednesday, mourning—seeking—creases and smile lines, porch lights and swing sets, summer nights of lightning bugs and Johnny Cash. I think it will be a Tuesday, or maybe someday is yesterday, is two months from now, is going to be a day when I forget what I'm supposed to be remembering. For now, I will paint my nails cradle, adorn my skin in cloth that doesn't choke, tell my bones that they are each a lamb remembered. Copyright © 2024 by Emerald ᏃᏈᏏ GoingSnake.

"You ever been beaten down by life after 30 years? ... That's the genesis of Slow Joy. It's just emotionally driven lyrics and things that make sense really loud."In this episode, we sit down with Esteban from Slow Joy at the Bottom Lounge in Chicago to discuss the reality of tour life and the release of his deluxe record, A Joy Even Slower. Bridging the gap between the Myspace era and today's alternative waves, Esteban breaks down how growing up in the Dallas music scene influenced his unique sound—a mix of "hot and sludgy" shoegaze and anthem-heavy emo.We explore his deep love for Taking Back Sunday (specifically the Louder Now era) and the cinematic history of the "The Ghost of You" music video. Esteban also opens up about his vocal evolution, moving from trying to emulate Midwest emo tappies to channeling the raw power of Joe Talbot from Idles and Citizen. Whether you are a nostalgic millennial or an emo revivalist, this conversation connects the history of the genre to its exciting future. Key Topics & Timestamps:Introduction: The reality of tour life and the "Venn Diagram" of sleep vs. foodThe Emo Check: Why Taking Back Sunday's "Makedamnsure" is the perfect songFun Fact: How the director of "The Ghost of You" went on to direct Spider-ManDefining the Slow Joy sound: "Life beating you down"Deep dive into the deluxe album A Joy Even Slower and Modest Mouse influencesTouring with The Academy Is... and the kindness of 2000s legendsThe Texas Scene Report: Dallas, Denton, and the "sludgy" shoegaze soundVocal techniques: Channeling Idles and Citizen vs. Midwest Emo math rockWhere to find Slow Joy online Guest/Band Links:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/SlowJoyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/slowjoy.officialOfficial Website: https://www.slowjoymusic.com/ Episode Highlights:"I'm not cool enough to do the shoegaze thing.

Everybody is like, 'Oh, that's like Citizen.' And I was like, 'No, I'm actually just trying to do Joe [from Idles].'""You can do two things half-a**ed... or I'm gonna do one thing at a time.

“…the fairy tale is the great mother of the novel, and has even more universal validity than the most-avidly read novel of your time.

Most job seekers prepare for interviews the wrong way. They start by memorizing answers to questions like "Tell me about a time you disagreed with your boss" or "Describe a challenge you overcame." But that's backwards. Those questions aren't about your disagreement skills or your ability to solve one random problem. They're about whether you can transform the company—their team, their performance, their results. The secret to winning behavioral interviews isn't about rehearsing lines. It's about building stories that sell what they actually buy: your ability to help them achieve their goals. That's what this week's lesson is all about. We're crushing how to prepare for and answer behavioral questions using the most powerful approach I've ever taught!

This is my relatively short talk given during the 2025 Plato's Academy multidisciplinary conference: The Philosophy and Psychology of Anger, during which I discuss some of the useful insights and practices early Christian thinkers (2nd-5th Century CE) can provide us. These don't require one to be committed to Christianity and can be applied by a wide range of people. I begin with a passage from Pierre Hadot's book Philosophy As A Way Of Life: "[Christians] believed they recognized spiritual exercises, which they had learned through philosophy, in specific scriptural passages . . . The reason why Christian authors paid attention to these particular biblical passages, was that they were already familiar, from other sources, with the spiritual exercises of prosokhē, meditation on death, and examination of the conscience.” What Hadot calls “spiritual exercises” gets called by a variety of other terms by other thinkers. Foucault's "technologies of the self", Nussbaum's "therapeutic arguments", as well as the more general "philosophical practices" many of us reference in our work and study. What we can say about these early Christian thinkers is that many had a philosophical education, had opportunities to engage with pagan philosophical schools, some of which had pretty strong religious stances, with precursor and contemporary Jewish thought, and with a variety of other disciplines like rhetoric, medicine, literature, political theory, law, history, music, etc. There was already a strong interest in issues about anger already raised and debated in ancient philosophy including: vicious anger, can anger have useful role, dangers of indulging or excusing anger, anger and courage or justice, types or levels of anger, divine anger. Early Christian thinkers rely upon or incorporating broadly Platonic psychology, and ethical conceptions drawn from Platonist, Stoic, and Aristotelian schools, but within a framework Christianity provides. The thinkers I reference and discuss in this presentation include: 2nd-4th Century CE: Clement of Alexandria 150 – c. 215 AD, Tertullian 155 – c. 220, Origen 185 – c. 253, Lactantius 250 – c. 325 4th 5th century CE: Basil of Caesarea 330 – 379, Gregory of Nyssa 335, Evagrius Ponticus 345–399 AD, John Chrysostom 347-407, Ambrose 339-397, Jerome 342–347-420, Prudentius 348-413?, John Cassian 360 – 435, Augustine of Hippo 354-430 Some of the key scriptural passages they tend to engage most heavily with include: A number of discussions of anger in Pre-Christian Jewish scriptures, particularly in the Psalms, Proverbs, and Sirach The Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, Paul's Letter To Ephesians, and the Letter of James There is a stress on identifying and dealing with vices that involve anger, but also on developing virtues of Patience, Humility, Mercy, and Forgiveness. They also adopt, develop, and discuss a number of useful practices for lessening, understanding, or dealing with anger.
Rebecca Ford joins Katey to talk about all the highlights of the Academy's Governor's Awards, where virtually every Ocsar hopeful was in attendance and Tom Cruise, now an honorary Oscar winner, was the king of the reaction shots. Then you'll hear the conversation Katey had live in Hollywood last week with Jenny Han, the co-showrunner of The Summer I Turned Pretty, which wrapped its three seasons with a bang this summer — though as you'll hear Jenny explain, the story is far from over.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.The past several days have been extraordinary for Dolly Parton. The biggest headline is that she was honored with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 2025 Governors Awards, making this her very first Oscar after decades of contributions to music, film, and especially to charity. She accepted the honor by heartfelt video message from her home in Nashville, sharing gratitude and promising to “dream up new ways to help lift people up.” The award was presented by her friend Lily Tomlin, and Dolly wore a sparkling gold dress in the video that had social media buzzing, with People Magazine posting the clip and calling her “Star of the Show.” The Academy's award recognized her philanthropic work including the Dollywood Foundation and the Imagination Library, with major media like E! News and the Oscars' own channels highlighting her moving acceptance as a milestone in her legendary career.Her appearance at the Governors Awards was especially meaningful because it was her first major public statement since health rumors began swirling in October. Speculation caught fire when her sister Freida posted that she'd been “up all night praying,” which led some fans to fear the worst. Dolly herself took to Instagram to shut down reports and, with her trademark humor, told everyone “I ain't dead yet,” even as she acknowledged she'd postponed her Las Vegas residency to prioritize recovery from health issues, reportedly due to kidney stones according to People Magazine and confirmed by her manager. Parton's representatives say she's “getting better every day,” resting at home, and already decorating for the holidays. She has continued light work remotely and made it clear she is not retiring, only slowing down briefly as doctors advised.Fans continued to flood her posts with support, especially after she addressed the rumors and gave assurance she'll be ready for “more big adventures.” In a new interview with People, she promoted her latest memoir, Star of the Show: My Life on Stage, reflecting on her six decades of hits and declaring, “I feel like I'm just getting started.” Meanwhile, “Threads: My Songs in Symphony,” an innovative concert series featuring Dolly's voice and storytelling on screen, played to sold-out audiences with orchestral arrangements.To summarize, in a single whirlwind week, Dolly Parton won an Oscar for humanitarianism, went viral for her reassuring spirit, quieted speculation about her health, promoted her new book, and advanced her legacy project with a major concert event. Accordingly, outlets like Entertainment Now and People are calling this a defining chapter in her ongoing career renaissance, showing once again that after nearly 80 years, Dolly remains an unstoppable cultural force.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
Late on Sunday, President Trump reversed course and is now backing a vote compelling the DOJ to release more documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein. The issue has led to a split between Trump and one of his biggest supporters, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. The Bulwark’s Will Sommer explains. Pope Leo recently criticized Trump’s immigration policies. Reuters reporter Joshua McElwee joins to discuss how the pontiff’s words led the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to take action. Startups funded by powerful billionaires in Silicon Valley are pushing the boundaries of reproductive genetics. The Wall Street Journal’s Emily Glazer breaks down some of the controversial practices. Plus, the Trump administration began an immigration crackdown in Charlotte, Tehran might be evacuated because of Iran’s water crisis, and why Academy officials are telling members to actually watch Oscar-contending movies this year if they want to vote.

Our very special guest today is Angus Fletcher, professor of story science at Ohio State's Project Narrative. His research has been called “life-changing” by Brené Brown and “mind blowing” by Malcolm Gladwell; has been endorsed by psychologists, neuroscientists, and doctors such as Martin Seligman and Antonio Damasio; and has been supported by institutions ranging from the National Science Foundation to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In 2023, he was awarded the Commendation Medal by the U.S. Army for his “groundbreaking research” with U.S. Army Special Operations into primal intelligence. His latest book is called Primal Intelligence: You Are Smarter Than You Know. There are very few books or writers who have affected me as much as Angus and this book have. In the few weeks since I have read it, my coaching has changed. My thoughts about intuition, imagination and emotion have changed. I've watched close to 20 videos featuring Angus on youtube… and I don't typically ever watch that many videos about one person. Dr. Fletcher says that as humans, we think in story, not in words or pictures. He has plenty of research and street cred to back this up. Hollywood studios consult with him regularly. In addition to everything else, he's a screenwriter, and a very compelling author. I could go on and on but that wouldn't leave much time for us to talk, would it? So I will start with something familiar, and soon you will discover how mind-blowingly different some of Angus's groundbreaking ideas are. But first, the amazingly familiar part… Copy is powerful. You're responsible for how you use what you hear on this podcast. Most of the time, common sense is all you need. But if you make extreme claims... and/or if you're writing copy for offers in highly regulated industries like health, finance, and business opportunity... you may want to get a legal review after you write and before you start using your copy. My larger clients do this all the time. 1. A lot of people in the direct marketing community have felt boxed-in by the conventional wisdom that the only true kind of story is a hero's journey. I believe you have a very different point of view about stories, that includes that anatomy of the brain. Could you tell us about it? 2. Let's talk about primal intelligence. When I first found out about your book and before I read it, my guess about primal intelligence was, well, pretty primal. Lizard brain stuff. That is, the animal description that you either mate with something, or you kill it, or you eat it. You have a different and I think much more sophisticated and I would say much more useful definition of primal intelligence and it has to do with four qualities of thinking that have nothing to do with logic. Could you talk about that? 3. Our listeners are copywriters and business owners who use direct response copy in their businesses. Pragmatic creativity is high on the list of capabilities people always want to increase. Could you share your thoughts on what creativity is, from the point of view of primal intelligence? And how to increase our abilities to be creative? 4. In your book there's a surprisingly long list of people, including politicians, scientists and even a famous classical composer, as well as writers, who have mentioned Shakespeare as a major influence in their lives. What is it about Shakespeare's work that is so valuable to all these people? 5. Can you give us some more tips about using stories in our content and advertising that will capture people's attention and help us with our businesses? 6. Tell us about your work with Army special operators? 7. Would you like to give us a preview of the book Primal Intelligence?
