Does where you live, work, or host retreats actually influence how you feel, create, and lead?   In this fascinating episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail sits down with astrocartographer Krystal Thompson, founder of Aura Maps, to explore how location may impact everything from your creativity and confidence to your relationships and business success.   After experiencing her own personal astrocartography reading with Krystal, Shannon wanted to dive deeper into how this powerful tool can help retreat leaders choose retreat destinations, understand why certain places feel like home, and discover why some locations naturally support growth while others seem to create constant resistance.   Whether you're planning your next retreat, considering a move, or simply curious why certain places seem to energize you while others drain you, this conversation offers a fascinating perspective on the connection between geography and personal growth.   In This Episode You'll Learn What astrocartography is and how it works How your birth chart creates a personalized map around the world Why some locations naturally support creativity, leadership, business, or relationships How retreat leaders can use astrocartography when choosing retreat destinations Why you may feel completely different in one city compared to another Whether difficult locations should be avoided or embraced for growth How entrepreneurs can use location strategically for business and life decisions Why Shannon was so surprised by her own astrocartography reading If you've ever wondered why certain places seem to call to you, or why you've felt instantly at home somewhere you've never been before, this episode may change the way you think about travel forever.   What You'll Learn How astrocartography works How to choose retreat locations Why location matters for entrepreneurs Using astrocartography for business decisions Finding aligned retreat destinations Why certain places feel more supportive than others How travel can influence personal growth Key Takeaways Place Matters We spend so much time optimizing ourselves. Rarely do we stop to ask whether our environment is helping us thrive. Astrocartography Is More Than Astrology Krystal explains how your birth information creates a personalized world map that highlights locations where different aspects of your life may naturally flourish. Retreat Leaders Can Think Differently About Destination Selection Choosing a retreat location isn't only about beautiful scenery. It's also about creating an environment that supports the intention of the retreat itself. Every Place Serves a Purpose Some locations feel easy. Others challenge us. Neither is necessarily "good" or "bad." Sometimes growth happens because a place stretches us. Curiosity Creates Opportunity Whether you fully embrace astrocartography or simply find it interesting, asking new questions about place, purpose, and alignment can lead to entirely new possibilities. About Krystal Thompson Krystal Thompson is the founder of Aura Maps, where she helps entrepreneurs, creatives, and curious travelers understand how location influences their lives through astrocartography.   By combining astrology with geography, Krystal creates personalized maps that help clients explore where they may naturally thrive, create, connect, and grow.   Grab your reading here!   Special offer: 10% off any retreat-specific Astrocartography session or service Code: RETREATLEADERSPOD Expires: March 24, 2027   The Retreat Leaders Podcast Resources and Links: Join our Mastermind in Austin!

COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN - SEASON 5 EPISODE 7 A-Block (SPECIAL COMMENT): I confess - I fell for it. Trump banned CNN and MS Now from the White House and I immediately thought: the rest of the media finally, FINALLY, has to walk out and not give this bastard any further coverage. No - I was wrong. Then I thought: he ADMITS “we took the freedom of speech away.” And I thought: it IS the most blatant attack on the 1st Amendment in the history of our country And it should – it WILL – it MUST inspire even this nation’s somnambulant media to rise up as one and for once use its power to fight back – to defend not their jobs, but their country. No. I was wrong. On second thought, I realized this was a set-up. Trump has picked fights with Iran, with Canada, the EU, over oil, over tariffs, over hockey, over arches, over the Kennedy Center - and he's lost them all. He needs a fight against a weak opponent who will fold up when the first punch lands. It's his only chance to salvage the midterms. Weak opponent? Who will fold up? When the first punch lands? That's our White House press corps! I'm asking them to do what comes naturally to them - do nothing. Nothing until after Trump gets fricasseed in the midterms. Don't give him the fight he needs. Then, humiliate him. And at this rate he is going to get fricasseed. 97% chance the Democrats take the house, 65% the Democrats take the Senate, Democrats winning all the key Senate races (the one in North Carolina by FIFTEEN points). Let's not shoot off our big bazoos and snatch defeat from the jaws of Trump's defeat. Also: he's threatening Iran again, the Greenland deal is just a climbdown, and if the 25-story D.C. Arch (a life-sized reproduction of Trump's ego) weren't already bad enough, he's added a platform for snipers and a staging ground for drones. Because that's what you need next to a major airport. B-Block (38:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: King Charles, some rando on Threads who thinks the Democrats are admitting "illegal ALLENS" and Puck media guy Dylan Byers, not only carrying water for the disaster that is Bari Weiss, but now with new reported financial conflicts of interest whenever he covers CBS (The Conservative Brainwashing System). C-Block (51:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: MS NOW is in the news for being too political and as the founder of the only iteration of it or MSNBC that succeeded, I find this infuriating - and ironic. During my first stint there in 1997-98 we were so non-political and so ultra-tabloid that I walked in one day and the rundown said our lead story was an advance look at the publication of "The Farmers' Almanac" and our guest was its publisher.

The Backwoods Cryptid Road Trip crosses the Delaware River into the most densely populated state in America, then disappears into nearly a million acres of Pine Barrens.This stop digs into the full story of the Jersey Devil, beginning with the real Leeds family of colonial Burlington County. We trace the strange history of Daniel Leeds, a printer condemned by members of his own religious community, and his son Titan Leeds, who became the target of one of Benjamin Franklin's most famous public feuds.From there, the story evolves into the legend of Mother Leeds and the birth of her infamous thirteenth child in 1735.Then comes January 1909, when Jersey Devil hysteria exploded across the region. Mysterious hoofprints appeared on rooftops and through snow from Bristol to Camden, witnesses reported a winged creature moving through the night, police allegedly opened fire in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania, schools and businesses temporarily closed, and the Philadelphia Zoo offered a $10,000 reward for the capture of the creature.But the legend didn't end there. The episode follows later encounters deep inside the Pine Barrens, including a chicken farmer in 1960, a frightened couple staying at a remote deer cabin, and two campers along the Mullica River who claimed something followed them through the darkness.And the Jersey Devil may not be the only unexplained creature roaming these woods.The second half of the episode turns to New Jersey's lesser-known Bigfoot history, including listener accounts of towering, hair-covered figures seen from a cranberry bog dike, beneath a hunter's tree stand, and during a solitary night along the Batona Trail.It's a journey through colonial history, newspaper panic, generations of folklore, and modern eyewitness encounters from one of the strangest stretches of wilderness on the East Coast.Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteHave you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

Let's get heroic! On today's show, we'll count down some players we simply enjoy watching on tape -- they might not have perfect-looking 2026 fantasy football situations, but they're still terrific at what they do!
