Today on the podcast, meet Sylvia Mercedes, author of the upcoming romantasy The Seventh Champion! Elle and Sylvia talk about coziness versus darkness, plotting versus pantsing, and the romantic power of foam noodles. Enjoy! Sylvia's Bio: Sylvia Mercedes makes her home in the idyllic North Carolina countryside with her handsome husband, numerous small children, and a menagerie of rescue cats and dogs. When she's not writing she's . . . okay, let's be honest. When she's not writing, she's running around after her littles, cleaning up glitter, trying to plan healthy-ish meals, and wondering where she left her phone. In between, she reads a steady diet of fantasy novels. But mostly she's writing. Sylvia is the author of more than 20 popular Fantasy Romance novels, including the internationally bestselling BRIDE OF THE SHADOW KING trilogy. Find Sylvia's Website and Books Here: https://www.sylviamercedesbooks.com/ ~~~ Elle Hartford's Bio: Elle Hartford writes cozy mystery with a fairy tale twist. The award-winning first book in her Alchemical Tales series, Beauty and the Alchemist, finds amateur sleuth Red mixed up with murderous beasts and moody beauties, and a set of missing books besides! Elle has also written two spin-off series, the cozy fantasy-goes-to-the-beach Marine Magic series as well as Pomegranate Cafe Romance. For other writers and authors looking into “wide” indie publishing, Elle offers coaching as well as the Beyond Writing blog (ellehartford.substack.com) with how-tos and resources.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpeter, vocalist, composer and percussionist Pete Rodriguez, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Pete Rodriguez trumpet interview" About Pete Rodriguez: Trumpeter, vocalist, and percussionist Pete Rodríguez carries the bloodline of Nuyorican salsa as he takes his unique brand of jazz to exciting new places. Son of salsa singer Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez and godson of Fania Records bandleader Johnny Pacheco, Rodríguez cut his teeth playing with some of the greatest names in Latin music. By age 19, he was musical director of his father's band. As a vocalist, he sang on Tito Puente's Grammy-award winning Mambo Birdland. As an instrumentalist, he's appeared with legends including Celia Cruz, Chico O'Farrill, Bebo Valdez and Eddie Palmieri, including performing on the Brian Lynch/Eddie Palmieri Project's Grammy-winning release, Simpatico. As a bandleader, Rodriguez draws on his diverse upbringing—including living through the birth of Hip Hop in the Bronx and becoming an accomplished classical trumpeter during his adolescence in Puerto Rico—to create his own brand of jazz that defies categorization. The result is music that has been praised as "not only instrumentally ferocious, but texturally rich and at times profoundly intimate," with compositions "rich in musical depth, tone and beauty, as well as rhythm and melody… giving his music an appeal beyond genres." (Downbeat). His music demonstrates his aptitude for hard-driving, modern post-bop jazz, as much as melodic Latin variants and R&B-tinged grooves. Rodriguez has released a series of acclaimed albums as a leader, including Mind Trip, The Alchemist, Caminando con Papi (Destiny Records), El Conde Negro (Destiny Records), Obstacles (Sunnyside Records), and his most recent, I'm Pete Rodríguez, Vol. 1 (Sunnyside Records), named one of the Best of 2024 by the New York City Jazz Record. His forthcoming I'm Pete Rodríguez, Vol. 2 continues his exploration of identity, resilience, and innovation. "As a bandleader he's working on a clean, complex and flexible model of modern Latin jazz … his compositions change shape and character, according to the free flow of the arrangements, among art song and swing and clave. Draped over all of it is Mr. Rodriguez's powerful playing, soft-toned but battling." – The New York Times Episode Links: peterodriguezmusic.com Pete on Instagram (@prodriguezmusic) on YouTube (@peterodriguezmusic) on Facebook (@prodriguezmusic) Upcoming Events: Greg Black Mouthpieces, November 7 & 8 North Carolina Music Educators Association Conference, November 9 & 10 Book your alignment here!

Nicolas Flamel, the alchemist from Harry Potter, was a real 14th-century Parisian bookseller who became legendary for supposedly discovering the secret to immortality—and some believe he faked his death in 1418 and is still alive today.Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEIN THIS EPISODE: It's what every non-muggle dreams of… to be able to turn any metal into gold and to create a magic potion to give one eternal life! So is the life of wizarding at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter books. But was there a real Philosopher's Stone? Was there a Real Nicolas Flamel who created it? (The Real Nicolas Flamel and the Philosopher's Stone) *** In 1929 the Soviet Union decided seven days a week just too many to keep track of, and it's easier to count by five – so in the USSR they suddenly began to live life with only five days per week. No more weekends. How do you think the citizens took that news? (What is Life in a Five Day Week?) *** While not nearly as well-known as its larger Bermudan brother, the Bridgewater Triangle in southeastern Massachusetts in the United States is home to strange tales itself, with the paranormal, unexplained, and even home to its very own cryptid. (The Eerie Inhabitants of the Mysterious Bridgewater Triangle) *** Author Margaret Helen James wrote, “There is an uncomfortable sort of ghostly terror, in beast form, that haunts the villages on the borders of the two counties, which is commonly called the ‘Hateful Thing'. I allude to the churchyard or hell-beast.” Something was terrifying people in the marshlands of a small county in England and tales of it can still bring nightmares to those who live there today.

A Phil Svitek Podcast - A Series From Your 360 Creative Coach
Phil Svitek and Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) unpack Paulo Coelho's Brida, a spiritual coming-of-age novel that blends witchcraft, love, and the search for destiny. We trace Coelho's remarkable journey—from rebellious lyricist and political prisoner to world-renowned author of The Alchemist—and how his fascination with faith, mysticism, and personal legend shaped Brida's twin paths of the Sun (reason, discipline) and Moon (intuition, ritual). We explore the novel's central relationships—Brida, Magus, Wicca, and Lorens—and what they reveal about soulmates, free will, and spiritual growth. Along the way, we discuss memorable quotes, recurring symbols, and whether Brida's ultimate choice reflects courage or denial.Up next in our Bookmarked series:Exile and the Kingdom – Albert Camus (Nov 2025)Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore – Emily Krempholtz (Dec 2025)Marisa pick (Jan 2026)Marisa pick (Feb 2026)The Lost Bookshop – Evie Woods (Mar 2026)Marisa pick (Apr 2026)How to Solve Your Own Murder – Kristen Perrin (May 2026)

In this conversation with my dear friend Melissa, The Retreat Alchemist, we unpack how intimate in-person experiences create magnetic visibility, deepen trust, and convert into high-ticket sales (and repeat buyers). We talk pricing, budgeting, the “back-end” offer strategy, timelines that actually work, and how to design events that feel collaborative (not “the host show”). Plus, we share behind-the-scenes stories—from last-minute restaurant miracles in NYC to the Mexico taco feast that saved a retreat—and why small, soulful rooms turn into big momentum online.

Today on Sense of Soul podcast we have Dr. Jenny Martin, she is a psychologist, sexuality educator, and visionary guide at the intersection of sex, science, and spirituality. She is also the host of “Why Didn't I Know”, a podcast about sex and spirituality. In this illuminating conversation, she introduces us to the ancient wisdom of Mary the Prophetess—also known as Mary the Jewess and, in some traditions, Mary Magdalene—recognized as the first alchemist of the 1st century. Her teachings, preserved through the Greek Philosopher Zosimos in the 3rd century, they reveal a profound lineage of sexual alchemy that has long been hidden from mainstream narratives. Dr. Jenny shares her groundbreaking work on the Psychedelic Cervix Model, a transformative approach to female pleasure rooted in the unique genital-brain connection. She explains how, through lovemaking or childbirth, women can naturally activate psychedelic states of consciousness—unlocking mystical experiences that have both scientific and spiritual foundations. In this episode we explore the forgotten legacy of Mary the Prophetess and her alchemical teachings. The science behind sexual pleasure as a gateway to expanded consciousness. How the cervix plays a central role in mystical experiences and healing and its impact on women and their partners. Reclaiming ancient feminine wisdom for modern transformation. This is a sacred invitation to reimagine pleasure, healing, and spiritual awakening through the lens of ancient alchemy and embodied science.

Welcome back to *Makes Sense with Dr. JC Podcast. Where confusion dies and Progress thrives. Today, we're making sense of the climb, the personal legend story of Maddye Trew. This is not a story of just her climb up the charts, but the climb every dreamer faces on the way to building their personal legend story. My two very special guests are Miss Maddye Trew and Jeff McMahon. Maddye Trew is an up-and-coming country recording artist whose latest single, “Single of the Year,” is quickly climbing the Country Breakout Chart. In this song, Maddye vulnerably shares her struggle with being single, and ironically, it's her singleness that's pushing her toward success on the very charts she's climbing. Born in Memphis, Maddye has already performed on American Idol, appeared on CMT, taken the stage at The Bluebird Café, and opened for Big & Rich. Now she's preparing to release her debut EP, Here Goes Nothin'. Alongside her is her Alchemist, guide, and mentor, Jeff McMahon, a musician and industry veteran who spent 18 years touring with Tim McGraw, performed on six Billboard #1 singles, and was nominated for ACM Musician of the Year. Today, Jeff isn't just playing keys; he's guiding rising talent like Maddye, helping her navigate the unpredictable climb of the music business. I first met them in Chicago, at a personal growth and creative self-mastery event that I am affiliated with. At first glance, when I heard Maddy's beautiful voice and acoustic guitar strumming, alongside McMahon on the keys, I knew I was in for an outstanding musical performance. But what unfolded for the audience was something unexpected by everyone, including Maddye and Jeff. Let's say that the keys on Jeff's piano were not the only ones we experienced. Their story, coupled with their beautiful sounds and songs, began laying the foundation for an epic journey of personal growth, unlocking life lessons that opened doors to some of the most common struggles we face in this fast-paced, overstimulated world full of confusion and concern. Together, their story mirrors the timeless journey of the main character, Santiago, in Paulo Coelho's timeless book, The Alchemist, where he is a young seeker guided by a wise mentor on the path to his destiny. It's a story about commitment, perseverance, mentorship, vulnerability, belief in the process, and learning to see magic in the blind spots along the way. This isn't just a story about becoming a country star. It's a story for anyone climbing their own mountain of success, learning to handle criticism with grace, to turn failure into fuel, and to recognize that sometimes, you've already arrived.

Michael Ventura is an entrepreneur, author of “Applied Empathy: The New Language of Leadership”, and advisor to leaders at organizations including the ACLU, Google, Nike, and the UN. He has taught emotionally intelligent leadership at Princeton, West Point, and Esalen. In this episode, Michael explores why our natural childhood empathy fades as adults due to life complexity, cultural conditioning, and survival mechanisms that suppress this innate behavior. He explains how organizational design can create systems where empathy thrives through measurement, rewards, and leadership modeling rather than trying to change people individually. Michael outlines seven empathetic archetypes that leaders can shift between like gears: the Sage (practices presence), Inquirer (asks great questions), Convener (creates connection environments), Confidant (builds trust), Cultivator (provides vision), Seeker (values self-work), and Alchemist (experiments and learns). He emphasizes knowing when to shift archetypes based on circumstances and people. He addresses why leaders struggle to guide rather than control, explaining how successful leaders must transition from having answers to asking questions and empowering others. Michael explains empathy's benefits through a GE medical imaging case study where understanding patient experience led to environmental changes that cut pain complaints in half and increased cancer detection by over 10%. Listen to this episode to discover how empathy drives retention, innovation, and competitive advantage while serving as both leadership skill and business strategy. You can find episode 481 on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts! Watch this Episode on YouTube | Key Takeaways [02:19] Michael explains that empathy fades as we age because life beats it out of us in some ways. [05:10] Michael outlines three types of empathy: affective (golden rule), somatic (physical experience), and cognitive (platinum rule). [07:27] Michael emphasizes that empathy must be embraced and modeled as a behavior from the top all the way down. Michael warns that empathy requires a code of ethics because "sociopaths are good cognitive empaths." [10:11] Michael clarifies that his keynote's first slide always says empathy is not about being nice. [13:06] Michael describes seven empathic archetypes as "gears in a manual transmission" that leaders should shift between. [19:05] Michael advises leaders to ask "How do you learn? How are you motivated?" to diagnose which archetype to use. [22:18] Michael states "Leaders should only do what an individual or team cannot do for itself" because leaders must transition from having all the answers to asking the right questions. [23:47] Michael shares that West Point teaches empathy because officers must lead people from "every socioeconomic stripe imaginable." [29:07] Michael cites retention as a hard benefit, noting it costs "1 1/2 times the salary" to replace someone. [35:54] Michael shares what he wandered; he's writing a book about moving from "North Star thinking to constellation thinking" for purpose. [38:33] Michael observes society lost its "emotional commons" where everyone shared the same cultural experiences. [42:17] Michael advises leaders to start empathy work "where the need is the greatest" rather than organization-wide. [43:42] And remember...“I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.” - Maya Angelou Quotable Quotes "Life beats it out of us in some ways." "We start to see ourselves as the main character a little too much sometimes and forget that there are other characters in the play all around us." "Do unto others as they would have you do unto them. And the only way you're going to know that answer is if you do two things that most humans don't want to do. Admit they don't have an answer and then go ask the uncomfortable question." "Sometimes the most empathic thing that you do is say the hard thing or do the hard thing for someone else." "Stop trying to be the most interesting person in the room and start trying to be the most interested person in the room." "Leaders should only do what an individual or team cannot do for itself." "Don't tell people what to do. Tell them what outcome you want and let them surprise you with how they get it done." "When something is powerful and something is effective, just recognize it can be used for bad as well."

We often get stuck chasing what we think we're supposed to want. We're tearing down the idea of "outside success" by connecting Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist directly to the "More Business More Life®" philosophy. This isn't just a book review; it's a toolkit for learning to trust your own instincts and live your deepest purpose—your Personal Legend. We break down the core idea of spiritual duality: how to keep your focus on what matters most ("the oil") while actively enjoying the world's beauty and navigating its challenges. You'll hear the simple, yet unforgettable story of the Wise Man and the two drops of oil. We also share compelling personal stories, including one about overcoming life-altering paralysis, to demonstrate a crucial truth: unexpected adversity often leads to a better, more fulfilling outcome than you could have ever planned. Learn how to shed the outside noise, reconnect with your inner voice, and start trusting the guidance that is always available to help you pursue your Personal Legend.

The Underground Lounge links up with two of hip-hop's most respected producers and rappers, The Alchemist and Hit-Boy, for an unfiltered conversation that blends creativity, competition, and legacy.In this episode, the duo opens up about their first time connecting and how mutual respect turned into collaboration, leading to the creation of their new joint album and short film. They share how the project came together, the inspiration behind the sound, and how their two worlds, Alchemist's gritty, sample-driven soul and Hit-Boy's polished, anthemic energy, merged to create something fresh for the culture.The Alchemist talks about balancing multiple creative lanes, including his food how with Action Bronson where he explores culinary experiences around the world through the same lens he applies to music, curiosity, taste, and storytelling. He opens up about how staying creative outside of music feeds his artistry and keeps him evolving.Hit-Boy reflects on his early beginnings, sharing stories about growing up around music and how his uncle's success in a hip-hop group sparked his desire to make beats. He walks through his journey from bedroom producer to Grammy-winning powerhouse, breaking down how staying consistent and fearless allowed him to produce for legends and still innovate with each record.Throughout the conversation, both producers talk about the friendly competition that pushes them to keep raising the bar, the respect they have for each other's grind, and what it means to create music that stands the test of time. They speak on mentorship, influence, and how they view the next generation of producers coming up behind them.Candid, funny, and filled with insight, this episode captures two musical giants at the top of their craft, discussing artistry, discipline, and the mindset it takes to stay relevant while remaining authentic. It's not just a conversation about beats and bars, it's a masterclass in evolution, collaboration, and creativity from two of hip-hop's best.
Karina Anderson's story–from a violent upbringing in Denmark to finding her true purpose in South Africa–is a testament to resilience, spiritual enlightenment, and the power of trusting one's journey. “More and more I realized that if I can do this, maybe more can do this. And I started writing down the first pieces of my story, which is about how you navigate challenge and how you turn. “That's why I say I am an alchemist. I'm an alchemist in my own journey, turning lead to gold, regardless of how tough it looks. This is the moment you want that challenge. This is where heroes and heroines are born. “Everything I've achieved on this journey has been because I've listened. I have shown up. I've been called to go. And, I've learned to trust the process. I know this because I do it every day and I've done it since I arrived here in South Africa.” Intuitive Depth Coach, Alchemist and Change Specialist, Karina Anderson goes to places where most do not dare venture. Together with her Team of Change Agents, she helps switch on lights in some of the darkest corners of the human experience. Her work has taken her from prisons to boardrooms. As the Founder of SmilingOne and Circles of Change Academy, she has spent 17+ years honing a unique change recipe in the homeland of her heart–South Africa, and turning personal adversity into impactful change.

This podcast is conceived and conducted by Jeff Wagner and Hunter Ginn. Though we consume music in a variety of ways, we give particular privilege to the immersive, full-album listening experience. Likewise, we believe that tangible music formats help provide the richest, most rewarding immersions and that music, artwork, and song titles cooperate to produce a singular effect on the listener. Great music is worth more than we ever pay for it.
