This week on the Sumud Podcast, we're joined by Emmy-nominated filmmaker, writer, and actress Cherien Dabis—a bold storyteller whose life and work explore the power of identity, resistance, and the stories we carry. Born in Nebraska to Palestinian parents and raised in small-town Ohio, Cherien came of age during the first Gulf War, a time when neighbors turned on her family overnight. This political awakening eventually shaped her groundbreaking work, from Amreeka and May in the Summer to directing award-winning episodes of Only Murders in the Building and starring in Netflix's Mo. Her latest feature, All That's Left of You, tells the Palestinian origin story through the lens of one family across generations. Filmed during the current war, the production was forced to flee Palestine mid-shoot. But what emerged, as Cherien tells it, was “a film made from grief, love, and sheer determination.”
The Equipped for Life Podcast is back! After a long hiatus due to the production of Equipped for Life Academy, we've begun recording new episodes. We also have some old episodes in the archives we'll be publishing as well. We loved this episode as our first episode back though. After introducing Rebecca Carlson and welcoming her to be a second co-host on the podcast, Josh and Emily discuss their common backgrounds in music and musical theater, and how that affects our dialogue. This leads to a listener mail question on how Emily is able to come across as spontaneous as she does even when saying memorized responses. This leads to a FASCINATING discussion on, in the situation that we're talking to a pro-choice person, whether it's inherently deceptive to add fake thinking pauses, among other things, that actors commonly do when performing.

Back in Episode 73 I introduced the idea of the Acting Out Cycle using the picture of a Stopwatch. In looking back I felt I could give a more robust explanation of how to actually stop ourselves from just repeating the same cycle over and over.

God's power is already available to us, but we need to activate our faith to access it. Like Peter walking on water, we must step out of our comfort zones when Jesus calls us. Many of us know about God's power but get distracted by worldly substitutes like wealth, status, or social validation. Our connection to God's power works like electricity—always present but requiring us to flip the switch. When we activate our faith, we not only transform our own lives but inspire others to connect to God's power as well.

Jim and Matt begin to unpack the action from this past Saturday's UFC Fight Night card before the fighting pride of Azerbaijan himself, Nazim Sadykhov calls in to reflect on the surreal feeling of winning in front of a roaring hometown crowd in Baku.
2B Bolder Podcast : Career Insights for the Next Generation of Women in Business & Tech
What does it truly take to build a thriving career in Hollywood? Emmy award-winning actress and producer Karina Michel pulls back the curtain on the entertainment industry in this captivating conversation about resilience, authenticity, and creative evolution.Karina's remarkable journey began far from the bright lights of Hollywood—in a small town in England where, at just three years old, she declared to her parents she wanted to be an actress. Through twists of fate, including being discovered by a photographer at an Ohio mall, she built a career spanning over 100 projects, including appearances in Dexter, Entourage, CSI: New York, and Transformers 2.What makes Karina's story particularly compelling is her ability to evolve with changing circumstances. When a writers' strike halted her acting work, she pivoted to producing at a time when female producers were rare. This transition coincided with motherhood, allowing her the flexibility to remain in entertainment while being present for her children. Beyond acting and producing, she has expanded her creative portfolio as a writer for Rolling Stone and Authority Magazine, as well as the host of her podcast, "Coffee with Karina: Entertainment Unfiltered."Throughout our conversation, Karina shares invaluable wisdom for aspiring entertainment professionals. She emphasizes the critical importance of networking, the need to begin local and build experience, and the power of embracing imperfection rather than waiting for ideal conditions. Her definition of boldness—"not giving in to fear in any way"—serves as both her philosophy and her message to listeners hesitant to pursue their creative dreams.Discover why authenticity remains the cornerstone of creative success and how facing your fears might open doors to worlds you never imagined possible. Whether you're pursuing a career in entertainment or seeking inspiration to take a bold step in any field, Karina's insights offer both practical guidance and motivational fuel to move forward with courage.Resources:Podcast Coffee with KarinaKarina on LinkedInSupport the show When you subscribe to the podcast, you are supporting our work's mission, allowing us to continue highlighting successful women in a variety of careers to inspire others helping pay our wonderful editor, Chris, and helping me in paying our hosting expenses.
Happy Tuesday, everyone! I love when I get the opportunity to sit down with someone who I really respect as an actor and Brett Gelman is definitely one of those people. You know Brett from playing Murray on Stranger Things and Martin on Fleabag, plus roles in The Other Guys, Strays and McVeigh. The roles that Brett plays are hilarious and there's always a darkness to them— I found it so interesting to learn more about his approach to building a character. We talk about our acting idols and having the humility to continue studying even after you find success. In fact, this conversation convinced me to start working with an acting coach again! Plus, we discuss how Star Wars inspired both of us to become actors and which Star Wars character informed his role as Murray in Stranger Things. Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight, where my producer Jeph and I talk about the interview and answer fan questions from the Mail Sack!

DescriptionIs there an overlap between the art of preaching and the skill of acting? This is something that I have wondered about for a long time. Having spent time on only a few acting stages - not the lease of which earned me a college best actor award at my alma mater for playing a young man with elephant ears - but I digress? Is preaching performative? Yes, in some ways. Is preaching the same as acting? No, of course not, but the overlap and where that line is fascinating and what preachers can learn from great actors is super practical. In my conversation with Tanner Kalina today we dig in to these very questions and might even have discovered some answers!

Original Release Date: Monday 23 June 2025 Description: Dean is back home in Birmingham, Michigan. Phil is at home in Los Angeles. They connect via Zoom to discuss the fire damage Dean witnessed while he was in L.A. last week, as well as his ongoing and evolving thoughts regarding Captain America: Brave New World which he caught up with on a flight. Phil has thoughts about the recent Mickey 17, and about the current theatrical releases Caught by the Tides and Friendship. The talk then turns to the business of show and the recently announced/ongoing breakups of media conglomerates Warner Bros. Discovery and Comcast/NBC Universal. Finally, in "Celebrity Deaths", a character actor on the brink of big fame, a chart-topping singer of 1960s hits, and a legendary jazz singer and pianist all get remembered, and Phil corrects something Dean said last week in remembering the great Brian Wilson, as well as offering something he recently learned about beloved television star Loretta Swit (who was remembered a couple weeks back).

Send us a textJames Rojas Taylor explains how acting techniques and tools can provide all of us with mental and emotional literacy, giving us skills to navigate life more effectively in any situation. He argues that these powerful methods have been overlooked outside the acting profession despite their life-changing potential to help us understand ourselves better.• The Stanislavski System features seven questions that help ground us in the moment: who am I, where am I, when is it, what do I want, why do I want it, how do I get it, what do I need to overcome• Our educational system programs us to think and act the same way rather than teaching us how to be authentic individuals• Acting tools can help create "multiple versions of yourself" that allow you to adapt to different situations with different authentic responses• Children should be taught emotional literacy before adolescence to better navigate that challenging period• The "It factor" consists of five learnable skills: active listening, charm, intensity, generosity, and poise• Politics often functions as a distraction from class struggles, keeping people fighting among themselves rather than addressing systemic issues• Taylor's book "All Your Best Selves" offers practical exercises for developing mental and emotional literacyCheck out James Rojas Taylor's book "All Your Best Selves" on Amazon, available in both digital and paperback formats.Follow James Rojas Taylor atWebsitehttps://www.tbcenterprises.com/YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@SOICANDIEInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/soicandie/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@soicandie1?lang=enSupport the showFollow your host atYouTube and Rumble for video contenthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUxk1oJBVw-IAZTqChH70aghttps://rumble.com/c/c-4236474Facebook to receive updateshttps://www.facebook.com/EliasEllusion/Twitter (yes, I refuse to call it X)https://x.com/politicallyht LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliasmarty/

That kid was Matthew McConaughey, and what he wrote down that night would seem absolutely insane to anyone else - "win an Oscar for best acting" - except he wasn't even an actor yet. He was just a film school student who was too afraid to even admit out loud that he wanted to perform, yet somehow had the audacity to dream of Hollywood's highest honor in the privacy of his own thoughts.Years later, after actually winning that Oscar, McConaughey discovered that old journal entry and experienced one of those spine-tingling moments that makes you question everything you think you know about dreams and destiny. His reaction says it all: "Are you kidding? Get outta here!" But here's what's really profound - he never looked at those goals again after writing them down, yet somehow "knew what they were" all along. This conversation reveals the mysterious power of turning invisible dreams into physical contracts with yourself, and how his father's simple but devastating advice - "Don't half-ass it" - became the driving force behind everything that followed.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Making a Difference Through Media Synopsis: On this compelling episode of Conversations that Make a Difference, host Teresa Velardi welcomes three dynamic women who are harnessing the power of media to inspire social change: Andi Buerger, Cassandra Tindal, and Danielle Bisutti. Andi Buerger unveils the moving stories and powerful advocacy within her forthcoming book, "Voices Against Trafficking," highlighting the urgent fight against human trafficking and how storytelling can drive awareness and action. Cassandra Tindal, founder and editor of Womenz Straight Talk Magazine, discusses her mission to uplift women's voices, address real-world issues, and foster meaningful dialogue through her influential publication. Actress and singer Danielle Bisutti shares her passion for using the arts to make an impact—donating a heartfelt song to the Voices Against Trafficking album and using her creative platforms to amplify important causes. Together, these changemakers explore how diverse media—books, magazines, and music—serve as transformative tools for advocacy, education, and hope. Their candid conversation, guided by Teresa Velardi, inspires viewers to use their own unique voices and creative outlets to make a difference in their communities and beyond. Guests: Andi Buerger, Cassandra Tindal and Danielle Bisutti Bio: Andi Buerger, JD is an international speaker, author, and advocate for victims of human trafficking & exploitation. Andi herself was a victim of child sex trafficking and unspeakable abuses by family members for 17 years. She founded Beulah's Place, which provided temporary shelter services to at-risk, unsheltered teens for 14 years. 300+ youth were successfully rescued and assisted, earning national recognition. Andi later founded Voices Against Trafficking(VAT) to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves — the voiceless victims of human trafficking and exploitation. VAT advocates for the protection of every human's rights regardless of race, gender, culture, or socio-economic status. Voices Against Trafficking-The Strength of Many Voices Speaking As One, gives a portion of proceeds from each sale to survivors of child abuse and trafficking, as does Andi's first book, A Fragile Thread of Hope - One Survivor's Quest to Rescue. Andi launched Voices Of Courage magazine in 2023. It is distributed internationally and accepted into the U.S. Library of Congress. It honors everyday heroes who selflessly fight to protect human rights. These champions come from all walks of life to change communities and the world for the better. A television series by the same title debuts in 2025. Website: www.voicesagainsttrafficking.com Bio: Cassandra Tindal is the Founder, Visionary, and CEO of IMAG Media Inc., and the creator of Womenz Straight Talk®. Driven by an unshakable belief in the power of women's voices and the need for meaningful discourse, Cassandra Tindal didn't just build a media company—she ignited a movement. As the founder of IMAG Media Inc. and the force behind Womenz Straight Talk, Cassandra's vision was clear: to create a multimedia platform where women and marginalized communities could speak boldly, be heard globally, and drive real-world impact on the issues that matter most. Cassandra's passion for storytelling isn't about headlines—it's about humanity. She built Womenz Straight Talk as a hybrid of award-winning journalism, documentary filmmaking, and advocacy. Her mission? To challenge narratives, elevate underrepresented perspectives, and spark conversations that lead to action—whether in business, politics, culture, or social justice. At the heart of every culture, in every corner of the world, lies a shared human truth: we are wired for stories. From ancient oral traditions to today's digital narratives, storytelling is the bridge that connects us—transcending language, politics, and geography. Cassandra Tindal and Womenz Straight Talk harness this power, using media and entertainment not just to inform, but to unite, provoke, and inspire action on the issues that define our time. Website: https://womenzstraighttalk.net Bio: Danielle Bisutti is an Emmy Award-winning and BAFTA-nominated actress, writer, producer, director, and singer-songwriter with an illustrious 25-year career in the Entertainment Industry.

Danielle's diverse portfolio also features guest spots and recurring roles in Matador (Robert Rodriguez's El Rey Network), Last Man Standing, CSI: Miami, Without a Trace, Raising the Bar, and The O.C. Danielle graduated Magna Cum Laude from California State University, Fullerton, earning her Bachelor of Arts with a double emphasis in Acting and Musical Theatre.

Picking up where we left off, Part 2 of this fascinating episode with Rizwan Virk and Tom Bilyeu dives even deeper into the boundaries between science fiction and scientific reality. The discussion moves beyond simulation as a hypothesis and into the territories of time travel, alien intelligence, and the recurring patterns that mystics and religious traditions have long wrestled with. Rizwan opens up about the research behind his updated Simulation Hypothesis book, laying out how modern AI, quantum computing, and ancient spiritual wisdom might all be converging to update humanity's operating system. Tom challenges Rizwan on the reliability of self-reported mystical experiences and probes the intersection where memory, psychological illusion, and technological overlap might reveal a deeper structure to reality. Together, they dissect why we may be “meant” to learn certain lessons, what meaning and purpose look like if we're avatars with storylines, and how intuition and dreams might be signals from outside the “game.” SHOWNOTES 55:59 Simulation Saves, Replays, and Alternate Histories01:10:56 Can We Access the Rules?

Most people think excitement is the key to success. Acting, traveling, being in front of the camera — I wanted it too. But here's the truth: The boring things made me rich. In my 20s, I made a decision that changed my life: I chose to build something stable, something passive, something "boring"... And that gave me the freedom to do whatever I want today. If you're tired of the hustle without results, this message is for you. Sometimes the "exciting" path keeps you broke — while the "boring" one sets you free.
