Rurik Skywalker (Rolo), author of The Slavland Chronicles, invites us into a labyrinth of ideas where politics, metaphysics, and culture collide. With a personal background bridging Russia and the U.S., Rurik critiques societal norms, examines cultural contrasts, and unveils his provocative "convergence theory," positing an eerie unity among global powers behind the façade of conflict. Known for his deep dives into metaphysical topics and political theory, shares insights that challenge conventional thinking and invite readers to explore the world beyond traditional paradigms.From altered states of consciousness to the metaphysics of rebellion, Rurik intertwines mysticism and geopolitics in a way that centers resistance with art forms.Much of the dialogue revolves around Andrei Tarkovsky's film Stalker, a haunting meditation on human longing and transformation. Rurik likens himself to the film's enigmatic guide, the Stalker, leading his readers and listeners into “The Zone,” a metaphysical landscape where hidden truths and forbidden insights await discovery.Stalker is not just a film but a starting point for the conversation to delve into deeper layers of Rurik's controversial philosophies and a must-listen for anyone who seeks to understand this intriguing and controversial writer.Excerpts from Interview:“ The wars are fake, but the massacres are real.”“If you say something that they don't want to hear, they will come after you. They'll come after your friends. They will they will punish you for having the wrong views. And for me, that was the final red pill about America.“This so called civic society doesn't exist. Participative democracy doesn't exist. The power, so called power of the people's will or the media, also a hoax. That's when I realized actually everything is run by gangs of secret transnational special secret police. And that's sort of the core paradigm or the, or the core view that I operate from when I write my blog”“Art can literally send you into an induced, altered state from which, maybe you could actually discover these hidden aspects of reality, hidden sources of power within yourself. This is what we need. We need sources of power. We need this sort of fuel, this mystical fuel.”Time Stamp Highlights* 01:07 | Exploring Stalker and the ZoneHow Tarkovsky's masterpiece shapes Rurik's vision of resistance and discovery.* 06:42 | Cultural Critique of AmericaThe transactional superficiality of Western interactions versus the deep, enduring connections of Russian culture.* 19:23 | Convergence Theory and GeopoliticsRurik on Convergence theory: “THE WARS ARE FAKE, BUT THE MASSACRES ARE REAL.”* 42:24 | Russian Media and PropagandaInsights into navigating the disinformation labyrinth in the digital age.* 01:06:09 | Plato's DystopiaHow Platonic ideals, once heralded as blueprints for order, may serve as tools of elite control.* 01:16:05 | Dionysian Rites and Music as RebellionThe ancient roots of mysticism and its potential to ignite uprisings in the modern world.* 01:18:36 | The Metaphysics of RebellionTapping into altered states to reclaim individual and collective agency.Slavland ChroniclesNote: Sound sample in interview from Edward Artemiev - Meditation (Stalker Movie Soundtrack) 1979 .

The distinction lies not in the science itself, but in the hands that wield it. When harnessed for the betterment of society, progress is indeed assured. However, when it falls prey to the insidious interests of the powerful, the masses are left to suffer the consequences.Before you continue, please consider giving this article a like to help other people find it. Thank you! The unholy trinity of electrical engineering, banking, and social engineering has given rise to a new era of technocratic tyranny. The fact that the same principles that govern the flow of electricity can be applied to the flow of capital and the manipulation of human behavior is a chilling testament to the boundless ingenuity of those who seek to control us. The Elite have long recognized the potential of Science to further their interests, and have spared no effort in exploiting its power to maintain their grip on society.The foundation of Technocracy is rooted in the dogmatic ideology of Scientism, a philosophy that seeks to supplant traditional values and spiritual beliefs with a narrow, reductionist worldview. By elevating Science to the status of absolute truth, Scientism attempts to monopolize the narrative, dismissing any opposing perspectives as inferior or irrelevant. This rigid adherence to a singular ideology is a hallmark of totalitarian thinking, where dissent is not tolerated and critical inquiry is discouraged.The assertion that Scientism upholds Atheism, defined as the absence of belief in any god, is a gross oversimplification that betrays a profound ignorance of the complexities of human spirituality. The notion that one's understanding of the divine must be confined to the narrow parameters of biblical dogma is a laughable attempt to stifle the diversity of human experience. What of those who reverence the natural world as the ultimate reality, or who find solace in the mystical traditions of Eastern spirituality? Are they to be dismissed as atheists simply because their conception of the divine transcends the petty squabbles of biblical literalism?The practice of labeling and categorization is a pernicious aspect of Scientism, serving only to stifle nuanced discussion and reduce complex ideas to simplistic, binary oppositions. The term “conspiracy theorist” has become a pejorative, used to discredit and marginalize those who dare to question the official narrative. This kind of intellectual McCarthyism is a hallmark of totalitarian regimes, where dissent is pathologized and critical thinking is discouraged.Those who peddle this brand of Scientism are complicit in the destruction they have wrought upon the world. By elevating their own narrow ideology to the status of absolute truth, they justify the ravaging of the environment, the exploitation of the poor, and the erosion of civil liberties. Theirs is a worldview that is fundamentally at odds with the values of empathy, compassion, and intellectual curiosity that have always defined humanity at its best.The insidious game of cat and mouse, where the Dark Masters employ their favorite tactics of compartmentalization and redefinition to obfuscate their true intentions. By carefully calibrating their language, they seek to manipulate the narrative, sowing confusion and doubt among the unsuspecting masses. It is a clever ruse, designed to conceal the sinister agenda that lurks beneath the surface.It is important for us to confront the reality that the true struggle is not between good and evil, but between competing factions vying for control of the planet. The choice, it seems, is not between light and darkness, but between the geopoliticians and the progressive technicians. Who would you prefer to hold the reins of power? The answer, much like the truth, remains shrouded in uncertainty.A Lily Bit is a reader-supported publication.

Internationalistic in viewpoint, the C.F.R., along with the Atlantic Union Movement, and the Atlantic Council of the U.S., believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule established … What the Trilaterals truly intend is the creation of a worldwide economic power superior to the political government of the nation-states involved. As managers and creators of the system they will rule the world … In my view, the Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power: political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical.” — (With No Apologies, [1979], the auto-biography by Senator Barry Goldwater, pp. 128, 284).The New International Economic OrderThe goal of “transforming government” is a euphemism for a far more sinister agenda. It becomes clear that the ambitions of those behind this new order extend far beyond the realm of politics, and that the very fabric of our society is being transformed before our eyes.The plans for a New International Economic Order are part of a much larger scheme to create a one-world government, with the technocrats firmly in control. This raises important questions about the future of our world and the role that we will play in it.The Bank for International Settlements is just one of the many threads that are woven together to create a tapestry of deceit and corruption. The true nature of this new order is slowly coming to light, and it is clear that it is not in the best interests of the general population.The New International Economic Order is a far-reaching and complex plan to transform our society. At its core, it seeks to reshape the world in the image of its creators, with a focus on control, manipulation, and exploitation.The primary targets of this transformation are:* Economics: The creation of a new economic order, with a focus on sustainable development and the Green Economy.* Government: The transformation of government, with a focus on technocratic control and the erosion of national sovereignty.* Religion: The undermining of traditional religious values and the promotion of a new, secular spirituality.* Law: The creation of a new, global legal framework, with a focus on international law and the erosion of national laws.* Energy: The control of energy resources, with a focus on sustainable energy and the reduction of individual freedom.* Humanity: The transformation of humanity, with a focus on human enhancement and the merger of man and machine.But who is behind this transformation? The answer is clear:* The Trilateral Commission: A powerful, secretive organization that seeks to promote a new world order.* The United Nations: A global organization that seeks to promote a new world order, with a focus on international law and the erosion of national sovereignty.* Non-Government Organizations (NGOs): A network of organizations that seek to promote a new world order, with a focus on sustainable development and the Green Economy.It is clear that neither the American People nor the Congress of the United States of America are party to this transformation. Instead, it is being driven by a small group of powerful, secretive organizations that seek to promote their own interests and agendas.As we examine the tools and tactics being used to promote this transformation, we see a number of key initiatives:* Agenda 21: A United Nations program that seeks to promote sustainable development and the Green Economy.* Sustainable development: A concept that seeks to balance economic growth with environmental protection and social justice.* Smart meters: A technology that seeks to control and manipulate energy usage, with a focus on reducing individual freedom.* Climate change: A concept that seeks to promote a new, global agenda, with a focus on reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable energy.* Cap and trade: A system that seeks to control and manipulate carbon emissions, with a focus on promoting sustainable energy.* The Green Economy: A concept that seeks to promote sustainable development and the reduction of individual freedom.* Human enhancement (Trans-Humanism): A movement that seeks to merge man and machine, with a focus on promoting a new, technocratic society.The Dark Heart of TechnocracyScientism is the foundation upon which Technocracy is built. This ideology seeks to regulate every aspect of human life, from the mundane to the profound, under the guise of scientific authority.The Seven Pillars of Scientism* The Application of Scientific Methods to Social and Political Modeling: Scientism seeks to apply the scientific method to the study of human behavior and society, reducing complex social issues to simplistic, quantifiable problems.* Science as the Absolute Truth: Scientism posits that science is the only reliable source of truth, dismissing other forms of knowledge and understanding as inferior.* Atheism: Scientism upholds atheism, rejecting the existence of a higher power or divine authority.* Predictive Power: Scientism claims to be able to predict the future, using scientific models and data to forecast human behavior and societal trends.* Rejection of Opposing Inquiry: Scientism rejects any opposing viewpoints or criticisms, dismissing them as unscientific or uninformed.* Demand for Acceptance: Scientism demands acceptance by non-scientists, expecting the general public to blindly accept scientific authority without question.“Scientism is belief in the universal applicability of the scientific method and approach, and the view that empirical science constitutes the most authoritative worldview or most valuable part of human learning to the exclusion of other viewpoints."—WikipediaAs we explore the implications of Scientism, we see a disturbing trend towards the erosion of individual freedom and the centralization of power. From the regulation of shower times to the elimination of private property, Scientism seeks to control every aspect of human life under the guise of scientific authority.A Lily Bit is a reader-supported publication.

His book, "The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology", published in 2005, explores the idea of a future where humans and machines become indistinguishable.Kurzweil's work at Google is closely tied to the company's chairman, Eric Emerson Schmidt, who is a member of the Trilateral Commission. Schmidt's involvement with the Trilateral Commission is well-documented. He has been a member of the organization since 2001, and has played a key role in shaping its agenda.As a member of the Trilateral Commission, Schmidt has been involved in promoting the interests of the organization, which include the advancement of technocracy and the erosion of national sovereignty. Google's ties to the Trilateral Commission are extensive, and Schmidt's membership in the organization has given the company a significant amount of influence and access to the global elite. This has allowed Google to shape the agenda of the Trilateral Commission, which includes the promotion of technocracy and the advancement of “artificial intelligence.”Schmidt's views on government surveillance and data collection are also noteworthy. In 2013, he stated that government surveillance in the United States was the “nature of our society” and that he was not going to “pass judgment on that”. However, when it was revealed that the NSA had been secretly spying on Google's data centers worldwide, he called the practice “outrageous” and criticized the NSA's collection of Americans' phone records.Schmidt's relationship with the Obama administration is also worth noting. He was a campaign advisor and major donor to Barack Obama, and served on Google's government relations team. Obama considered him for Commerce Secretary, and Schmidt was mentioned as a possible candidate for the Chief Technology Officer position, which Obama created in his administration.The Definition of TechnocracyTechnocracy was termed in 1932 at Columbia University by M. King Hubbert and Howard Scott. After being booted from Columbia in 1934, they continued to develop their ideas through the Technocracy Study Course.Characteristics of Technocracy* Produces volumes of inviolable regulations: Technocracy is based on “science” and produces a large number of regulations that are considered absolute.* Creates totalitarian control: Technocracy seeks to create a totalitarian system of control, but it is not socialism or communism.* Seeks to replace price-based economic system with energy-based system: Technocracy aims to replace the traditional price-based economic system with an energy-based system, where energy credits are used instead of money.Communism, Marxism, Socialism, and Fascism are all based on a price-based economic system. Technocracy shifts away from that, so it is neither.Requirements for Technocracy* Register energy conversion and consumption* Create a balanced load* Provide a continuous inventory of production and consumption* Provide specific registration of goods and services* Provide specific registration of individual consumptionThe Technology to Implement TechnocracyToday, we have the technology to implement these requirements, including:* Obamacare* NSA spying on all Americans* Common Core* Data collection and miningThe Transformation of AmericaThe insidious tentacles of the Trilateral Commission have been quietly strangling the life out of our democratic institutions for decades. The brainchild of David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski, this cabal of 289 handpicked members, comprising the crème de la crème of bankers, industrialists, academics, politicians, media moguls, law firms, and NGOs, has been pulling the strings of power from behind the scenes since its inception in 1973.Their grand design, masquerading as a benevolent force for global cooperation, is nothing short of a thinly veiled attempt to consolidate economic power and impose a New International Economic Order. The Trilateral Commission's mantra of “interdependence” and “free trade” is merely a euphemism for the dismantling of tariffs and trade barriers, paving the way for the unfettered exploitation of resources and labor by the global elite. It was an economic takeover, but they needed the political machinery to pull it off. Technocracy is not a political system — it is an economic system.The Commission's influence on U.S. politics illustrates their Machiavellian tactics. In 1976, they hijacked the White House, with Brzezinski handpicking Jimmy Carter for the presidency and subsequently appointing nearly a third of the American Trilateral membership to key Cabinet and Administration posts. This brazen power grab was a masterclass in the art of manipulation, with the American people blissfully unaware of the economic coup unfolding before their very eyes.The Trilateral Commission's fingerprints are all over the subsequent decades of U.S. policy, from the Earth Summit's Agenda 21 to Clinton's “National Partnership For Reinventing Government” and the creation of the President's Council on Sustainable Development. The appointment of John Negroponte, a Trilateralist, as the first Director of the National Intelligence Agency in 2005, serves as a stark reminder of the Commission's enduring influence.But the roots of this technocratic behemoth run even deeper. Brzezinski's 1970 book, "Between Two Ages: America's Role In The Technetronic Era," is the ideological blueprint for the Trilateral movement, a clarion call for the imposition of a technocratic order on a global scale. As we delve deeper into the labyrinthine world of the Trilateral Commission, it becomes increasingly clear that their ultimate goal is nothing short of a complete overhaul of our economic and political systems, with the global elite firmly ensconced at the helm.“The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values…Today we are again witnessing the emergence of transnational elites…[whose] ties cut across national boundaries… It is likely that before long the social elites of most of the more advanced countries will be highly internationalist or globalist in spirit and outlook. Within a few years the rebels in the more advanced countries who today have the most visibility will be joined by a new generation making its claim to power in government and business… accepting as routine managerial processes current innovations such as planning-programming-budgeting systems (PPBS) … A national information grid that will integrate existing electronic data banks is already being developed…. The projected world information grid, for which Japan, Western Europe, and the United States are most suited, could create the basis for a common educational program, for the adoption of common academic standards.The nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty. … In the economic-technological field, some international cooperation has already been achieved, but further progress will require greater American sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken, with some consequent risk to the present relatively favorable American position.”—Brzezinski, “Between Two Ages: America's Role In The Technetronic Era”Brzezinski's 1970 magnum opus, “Between Two Ages: America's Role In The Technetronic Era” was no mere academic exercise, but a blueprint for the incremental implementation of a controlled society, where the boundaries between politics, economics, and technology are deliberately blurred.It's no coincidence that Brzezinski, a professor at Columbia University, the very institution where Technocracy was born in 1932, was handpicked by David Rockefeller to co-found the Trilateral Commission in 1973. Rockefeller, ever the astute observer of questionable talent, recognized in Brzezinski a kindred spirit, a fellow traveler in the quest for a technocratic utopia.The term “technetronic,” coined by Brzezinski, is more than just a clever neologism; it's a call for the fusion of technology and politics, a harbinger of the all-encompassing control grid that the technocratic elite have been constructing for decades. “Technetronic” and “technocracy” are virtually interchangeable, two sides of the same coin.Brzezinski's vision, as outlined in his book, is one of gradual, incremental control over a “Technetronic Era” in which the boundaries between individual freedom and collective servitude are systematically eroded. It's a prospect that should send shivers down the spine of anyone who values liberty and autonomy.And now, let us take a moment to hear from the horse's mouth, as it were. Brzezinski himself will explain, in his own words, the contours of his technocratic vision. Prepare to be enlightened, or perhaps, more accurately, prepare to be chilled to the bone.The “war on terror,” that nebulous and ever-shifting construct, has been a boon for those who seek to regulate and control the patterns of traditional American behavior. It's a Trojan horse for the imposition of a surveillance state, where the boundaries between public and private are deliberately blurred. The “internationalist” elite, with their technocratic vision of a totally surveilled societal structure, have been the primary beneficiaries of this perpetual war.But the tentacles of the Trilateral Commission reach far deeper into the inner workings of our government than most of us could have ever imagined. The fact that six out of the eight heads of the World Bank have been Trilateralists is a staggering statistic. And it's not just the World Bank; the Trilateral Commission's influence permeates every level of our government, from the President and Vice President to the U.S. Trade Representatives and National Security Advisers.The sheer scope of the Trilateral Commission's infiltration is breathtaking. Every President and Vice President since Carter has had ties to the Commission, as have a disproportionate number of U.S. Trade Representatives and National Security Advisers. It's a veritable Who's Who of Trilateralists, a rogues gallery of technocrats who have insinuated themselves into the highest echelons of power.And what's the common thread that binds these individuals together? Their allegiance to the military-industrial complex, that behemoth of war and destruction. The Trilateral Commission's ties to the machinery of war are well-documented, and it's no coincidence that their influence has coincided with the perpetual war footing that has become the hallmark of our foreign policy. The war on terror, it seems, is just a convenient pretext for the imposition of a technocratic order, one that serves the interests of the elite at the expense of the American people.A Blueprint for Technocratic TyrannyThe New International Economic Order is nothing short of a dystopian nightmare, where the Elite rule with an iron fist. This “Technetronic Era” is characterized by:* A controlled society where the primary actors and planners of economic life are global banks and multi-national corporations.* A continuous surveillance of every citizen, with files containing all information about every citizen instantly available to authorities.But that's not all. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has been pushing a “Green Economy Initiative” that is, in reality, a Trojan horse for Technocracy. The UNEP's own words are chilling: “These initiatives, both public and private, provide the mechanism for reconfiguration of businesses, infrastructure and institutions, and for the adoption of sustainable consumption and production processes.”In other words, the Green Economy is a euphemism for a complete overhaul of our society, our way of life, and our institutions. It's a recipe for disaster, and one that has been championed by none other than Bill Clinton, who promised to “reinvent government.” We now know what he meant by that.But the Green Economy is not just a secular phenomenon. The World Council of Churches has proudly declared that the “World's faiths will declare themselves, irrevocably, as Green Faiths.” The very fabric of many people's spiritual lives is being co-opted by the technocratic elite.And if that's not enough, let me introduce you to the concept of “Reflexive Law” as a “Legal Paradigm For Sustainable Development”. This is the final nail in the coffin of our freedoms, a legal framework that will enshrine the principles of Technocracy and ensure that the Elite remain in control.The doublespeak of the technocratic elite is on full display in this document. On the surface, it appears to be a call for new approaches to achieving sustainable development, but scratch beneath the surface and you'll find a sinister plot to undermine our existing systems of governance and replace them with a new paradigm of “reflexive law”.The language is deliberately obtuse, but the intent is clear: to create a new framework for decision-making that is “integrated” and “normative”, where social systems and subsystems are forced to interact and communicate in a way that is predetermined by the technocratic elite. The goal is to create a seamless web of control, where every aspect of society is aligned with the objectives of sustainable development, as defined by the Elite.The reference to “Type 2” non-regulatory private or public-private partnership initiatives is particularly telling. This is code for the outsourcing of governance to unelected, unaccountable entities that are beholden only to the interests of the Elite. The “shifting emphasis” away from traditional regulation and government programs is a euphemism for the dismantling of our democratic institutions and the transfer of power to the technocratic elite.And what of “reflexive law” itself? This sociological construct is presented as a solution to the “conceptual dilemmas” of sustainable development, but it's really just a fancy name for a system of control that is designed to “specify procedures” for regulated entities to follow. In other words, it's a recipe for a totalitarian regime, where every aspect of society is micromanaged by the technocratic elite.The use of words like “normative” and “integrated” is particularly insidious, as it implies a sense of moral authority and inevitability. But make no mistake, this is a power grab, plain and simple. The technocratic elite are using the rhetoric of sustainable development to justify a radical transformation of our society, one that will leave us all subject to their whims and fancies.The emergence of a new worldwide web of energy, a global energy network, is a reminds us of the technocratic agenda's far-reaching implications. This network, like the internet, will revolutionize the way we live, work, and interact with one another. But, as we've seen, it's not just about energy distribution; it's about control, manipulation, and the transformation of humanity itself.The dispersal of trillions of “stimulus dollars” globally, parades the vast resources at the disposal of the globalists. The “Black Budget” is just one of the many tools in their arsenal, designed to further their agenda of control and domination.As we navigate our dark ages of deceit and manipulation, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. But we must remain vigilant and committed to our mission of preserving freedom. I urge everyone to take action, to educate themselves and others, and to advocate for freedom at the local level. Acting locally while thinking globally is the key to preserving our liberties.Let us take a stand against the forces of tyranny and oppression. Let us support and educate our local Sheriffs, who are the last line of defense against federal overreach. Let us name and shame those who practice un-American thinking and activity. And let us serve Misprision of Treason wherever appropriate.Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can preserve freedom and protect our way of life.I wrote all of this was for free!

We've got that Friday feeling as we roll into the showroom this morning. Today we talk about GMs Cruise driving toward profitability. We also cover one Florida dealership who is crushing the solar game, as well as a new retail report that shows small stores are still shuttering. GM-backed autonomous vehicle company Cruise is set to enter its rapid growth phase, targeting a revenue goal of $1 billion by 2025.Cruise surpassed 1 million driverless miles as of February as they have been operating more than 300 autonomous vehicles in its three markets: San Francisco, Phoenix, and Austin.The focus has now shifted to scaling operations to scale into new cities while preparing for volume production of their autonomous vehicle, the Origin at GM's Factory Zero in Detroit.According to calculations by Sam Abuelsamid, principal research analyst at Guidehouse Insights.Cruise will need 5,500 to 6,000 vehicles operating on a daily basis to achieve its $1 billion revenue target by 2025, That assumes Cruise is operating in 10 cities with 550 to 600 vehicles in each location, he said, and fares of about $2.50 per mile…all which is realisticThe Dimmitt Chevrolet team in Clearwater, Florida, is pushing the border of innovation as it launched an onsite rooftop solar array that will generate more than 1 GWh of energy annually, which is enough to power 750 homes. Over 2,000 panels were installed, leveraging tax incentives in a partnership with Energy Services of AmericaThe giant solar panel array will offset about 156 tons of CO2 emissions, cover 100% of the store's power needs, and pay for itself in under five years through energy savings.Telling it like it is - Something about cooling your showroom using solar energy is peak science.

Chances are you've seen Kristina.Kristina Kuzmic is a cheerleader for her fellow humans. It's not something she ever anticipated doing, but after immigrating to America from Croatia during the war in her homeland and later facing more challenges (divorce, single parenting, poverty, depression…), Kristina wanted to be for others what she wished someone had been for her during her darkest hours.In 2011, when Oprah crowned Kristina the winner of Mark Burnett's reality TV competition “Oprah's Search for the Next TV Star,” Oprah said, “What is that THING…that's so charming and charismatic and connected to the audience that makes you feel like, ‘I know her, I want to be her, I'm like her'… Kristina has all of that. She is an ‘IT PLUS' girl… I wanna watch her!” Since working with Oprah, Kristina has branched out on her own, creating videos about juggling all of life's challenges, and encouraging her audience to prioritize their mental health. She has quickly become a viral sensation with 2.9 million Facebook followers and well over half a million Instagram followers. Now, with over one billion video views, Kristina is providing her audience with encouragement, hope and humor in a role she never expected to fill.Typically Kristina offers support and insight on parenting, but on this episode she dives into subjects and insight that is applicable not only parents but to teachers as well.

Believing that resilience is both the missing piece and the key to development for people across the globe, she founded Resilience Leadership Institute.Let's buckle up as Dr. Taryn Marie talks about how we could develop resilience and how it could help us be successful in our respective fields. Key Highlights: [00:00 - 07:48] The Value of ExperienceTaryn's previous roles and experiences helped her become a successful head of executive for NikeExecutives are comfortable working with people who had the similar experience to what they're experiencing in the organization[06:24 - 14:50] What Makes A Good LeaderSome skill sets that work for entrepreneurs cannot be applied to those working in corporate AmericaThe five characteristics to succeed in a career:Empathy Lead through influenceAbility to assess threats with colorCommunication Have vision These characteristics make good leaders and help develop resiliency[14:51 - 28:01] Resilience: Build Skills to Endure HardshipResilience is not inherent in what it means to be human. It's something we cultivateWe can develop resilience by facing complexity and challengesThe sympathetic nervous system dictates fight, flight or freeze while the parasympathetic nervous system tells us that there are more choices than those threeDr. Taryn Marie quotes Viktor Frankl who talks about in between stimulus and response, there is a space and that space is choice.  Resilience can be developed through:VulnerabilityProductive PerseveranceConnection with ourselves and other peoplePractice of grandiosityPractice of possibility[29:47 - 44:39] The Power of GivingAltruism definedWe value the things we earnDr. Taryn Marie talks about joining the Starkey Hearing Missions and African Community Conservation Foundation In giving, we somehow end up getting more than what we give[44:40 - 51:46] Generosity Means Giving More Than Just Your MoneyThe charities that Dr. Taryn Marie supportsNurturing MindAfrican Community Conservation Foundation Starkey Hearing MissionsSpending money and being there physically for the community are two important things for Dr. Taryn MarieThere's no big or small amount in giving back Money can't buy happiness but it can buy satisfaction and stability[55:32 - 1:04:41] Closing SegmentReach out to Dr. Taryn Marie!See links below Final wordsTweetable Quotes:“We can increase our resilience, just like we can increase our cardiovascular capability, or enhance our muscles and our body by going to the gym. Exercising resilience of actually the essence of being human.” - Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal“Quitting is not necessarily a bad thing. There is such a thing as a socket, sunk expense, diminishing returns, having the savvy and the foresight to realize that the energy that you are putting into a particular goal gets to be pivoted in a new direction.” - Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal“I believe that money can buy you satisfaction and stability.” - Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal. _____________________________________________________________________Connect with Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal Resilience Leadership website!CONNECT WITH US!Join our Facebook Group LIKE, SHARE, AND SUBSCRIBED!

“Honor violence has been largely misclassified by law enforcement, by no fault of their own. They simply didn't know the signs and symptoms of honor-related violence. They do not have the training on how to effectively identify and investigate these cases.”  ~ Stephanie Baric, executive director of the AHA FoundationHONOR KILLING/VIOLENCE:   An estimated 23-27 honor killings per year occur in the U.S., noted that 91 percent of victims in North America are murdered for being “too Westernized,” and in incidents involving daughters 18 years or younger, a father is almost always involved. This is a particular type of violence that doesn't fit neatly into the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics. These are their stories.....LEARN & SUPPORT:Relevant websites that were reviewed included the AHA Foundation (http://theahafoundation.org ), Honour Based Violence Awareness Network (http://hbv-awareness.com ), Tahirih Justice Center, a nonprofit organization that works to protect immigrant women and girls from violence through legal services, advocacy, and public education programs (http://www.tahirih.org/mission/the-issues) , Sauti Yetu (http://www.sautiyetu.org),Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Founder of AHA Foundation Journey |  | https://www.theahafoundation.org/ayaan-hirsi-ali-founder-of-the-aha-foundation/LOST LOVE ONE: Palestina Isa Nov. 6, 1989, St. Louis, MO Hatice Peltek.

Keara Kindelynn is Founder and CEO of Foreverly, a company with a mission to make dealing with death--a little less stressful. Foreverly helps organizations support their employees who have experienced the death of a loved one. Kera was born to a family with deep roots to her hometown of Brooklyn. She emerged from college and business school, climbing the corporate ladder. Leading all the way to Seattle and Microsoft. But it was her calling to volunteering and service that led her to the world of hospice, end of life, and the underserved season of bereavement. Kera saw that the death of a loved one is an unguided, stressful, and lonely experience - for those grieving and for those who want to support them. It's from this transformative understanding that Foreverly was born. We spoke with Kera recently just after finishing the Techstars program.Keara has a great story.

Episode Summary:Italy. Food. Artisans. Culture. That is the life Professor Danielle Callegari is immersed in, and when you hear about it you'll probably say, why didn't I think of it! Except then you'll need to spend years writing a book on Dante, then start the next book, cloistered in Italian libraries with no air conditioning during Roman summer. Danielle's story is a story of the professor building a career, a brand, and a platform, an inside look at what it really takes to make it in academia.Sydney FinkelsteinSyd Finkelstein is the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. He holds a Master's degree from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from Columbia University. Professor Finkelstein has published 25 books and 90 articles, including the bestsellers Why Smart Executives Fail and Superbosses: How Exceptional Leaders Master the Flow of Talent, which LinkedIn Chairman Reid Hoffman calls the “leadership guide for the Networked Age.” He is also a Fellow of the Academy of Management, a consultant and speaker to leading companies around the world, and a top 25 on the Global Thinkers 50 list of top management gurus. Professor Finkelstein's research and consulting work often relies on in-depth and personal interviews with hundreds of people, an experience that led him to create and host his own podcast, The Sydcast, to uncover and share the stories of all sorts of fascinating people in business, sports, entertainment, politics, academia, and everyday life.Danielle CallegariDanielle Callegari is Assistant Professor in the Department of French and Italian at Dartmouth College and Councilor of the Dante Society of America. Her teaching and research focuses on Italian literature and food and beverage studies. Her first book, Dante's Gluttons: Food and Society from the Convivio to the Comedy, is forthcoming with Amsterdam University Press in spring 2022. She is also the co-host of Gola (patreon.com/golapod), a podcast on Italian food and beverage culture, with Katie Parla.Insights from this EpisodeHow Danielle's interest on Italian culture beganHow Danielle navigates through the investigation worldDanielle's concerns on having a PhD in HumanitiesThe story behind the Dante Society of AmericaThe purpose of Danielle's book “Dante's Gluttons: Food and Society”Danielle's ideas for her next bookThe importance of creating a brand as an academic and professorSecrets about Danielle's experience in Italy during Covid-19The success of the Gola Podcast Danielle's networking strategiesQuotes from the Show: “Many people probably don't understand that if you're not publishing as a professor you're not standing up in front of the class as a teacher very long, and whether that's books or articles or mix of the two”- Sydney Finkelstein in “The Sydcast” [11:35] “Everyone must eat, it's just perfectly universal, there is not time or place where humans haven't had a relationship with food, and as a result of that, [food] becomes the ultimate point of reference” - Danielle Callegari in “The Sydcast” [31:44]“[About Danielle's experience on libraries] I've found things I didn't know existed and that no one knew existed that fit into my research in a very special way and that's a kind of Indiana Jones moment”- Danielle Callegari in “The Sydcast” [46:54]“[About her teaching method] Talking about things like social order, soft power, economic viability, so it's the place where we start and we outline all the ways in which food culture becomes something that communicates much more than what is apparently on the surface”- Danielle Callegari in “The Sydcast” [56:08]“To me universities that continue to offer standard learning just in the classroom without a strong experiential component are living on borrowed time”- Sydney Finkelstein in “The Sydcast” [01:01:55]Stay Connected: Sydney FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastDanielle Callegari Instagram: Danielle Callegari Podcast: Gola PodcastSociety: Dante Society of AmericaDartmouth College: Danielle Callegari | Faculty DirectorySubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry.

Arlie Hochschild discusses her book, Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right, reflecting on how 2020 has made our mutual political alienation worse, and how we can implement deep listening, emotion management, hospitality, and create shelters from shame. Interview by Evan Rosa.How to Give to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: faith.yale.edu/give We're passionate about making this work consistently accessible to a people who are genuinely concerned with he viability of faith in a world wracked with division, contested views about what it means to be human and what it means to live life well.

It's our joy to bring these shows to you; and we'd invite you into that same joy of supporting this work. As always, thanks for listening, and we'll be back with more, next week.Episode IntroductionHow do we understand each other's political lives? It's all too easy to depend on the consistent narratives of bafflement at the political stranger. How could you possibly have voted for [fill in the blank]. I have no idea how you could support [you know who]. Maybe to stay baffled is a defense mechanism. It keeps the stranger strange. If you rely consistently on your inability to fathom another's behavior or reasons or motivations—or the fears that underlie them all—maybe that helps you cope a little better.Our guest on the show today turned off all her alarms, set aside the narrative of confusion, and set out to learn about the political other, when around 10 years ago, she began regular visits to Lake Charles, Louisiana, a working class Tea Party stronghold that followed suit with Trump support in 2016—suspicious of the government, struggling for their economic flourishing, feeling the whole time that they were being cut in line, that they were unseen, unrecognized, dishonored, alienated in a hidden social class war.Sociologist Arlie Hochschild is Professor Emerita in Sociology at the University of California Berkeley and author of Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right. In this episode, I ask Arlie about her experience of intentionally identifying her own ideological bubble, forging out to scale a wall of division, bafflement and hostility to find empathy, turning off her political and moral alarms and attuning her mind to hear the desires that inform the deep story of her friends in Louisiana. We discuss political division, resentment, and alienation; how the Trump presidency and subsequent 2020 loss to Biden has continued to make strangers in their own land; she explains the emotional roots of political beliefs and tribalism—especially those held by her conservative friends, the blind spots of progressive views of conservatives, and finally curiosity, humility, emotion management, and putting oneself in perspective. Thanks for listening. —Evan Rosa, from the introductionShow NotesHow Arlie Hochschild decided to reach out to Tea Party Republicans from within her media bubble, befriend them, and then write a book about understanding how emotion informs political anger, resentment, and Trump supportThe paradox of biting the hand that feeds youMoving beyond political appearances and surface tensionsHow to create a shelter from shame in order to connect and disagree in fruitful waysWhat it was like to cross the empathy bridge, to meet people who live in a different bubble, who live with a different sense of what is trueMeeting Republican women in Lake Charles, LouisianaThe appeal of Rush Limbaugh: fighting against “feminazis,” “environmental wackos,” and “socialists.” And the deepest reason: protecting southern Republicans from the shame of coastal elites Turning off one's alarm system for the sake of genuine encounter across division, deep listeningWhen to turn the alarm system back on“Things have grown worse”: One's own government as a foreign occupying forceThe deep story: we can't do politics without understanding the deep mythology that informs it.The right wing deep story: Waiting and being cut in line, Obama's role, Trump's role, and liberation from shameShaming the shamers: Trump's appeal to those who have been "cut in line"Belong before you believe: How tribalism drives the political drama of AmericaThe religious overtones of Trumpism: Trump has connected with Hochschild's friends in Louisiana not only as their liberator, but their righteous sufferer, their shelter from shame.A giant, hostile shame machine: counter-shaming has a backfire effect: “Our shelter from shame is being attacked by the shamers."What is the greatest felt need for political combatants? What will discuss the vicious cycle?Recognition of the other across disagreement; finding an opportunity for common ground that we so dearly need right now; encountering the better angels of the political otherBlind spots: Social class, particular economic value, and the wonder inspired by the skill of the working classThe Virtues of Climbing the Empathy Wall and Encountering Others' Deep Stories: Curiosity, Humility, Emotion Management as a Service to Society, Putting Oneself in PerspectiveRecalling the feeling of being a stranger in order to practice an emotional hospitality that makes space for the deep stories of the other

For hundreds of years, we relied on a definition of tolerance that honored the differences of each other while maintaining our right to disagree.  That tolerance has shifted and has been replaced with a tolerance where all beliefs were equal, and things were true to a new cultural tolerance where only the truths decide upon by the woke and tyrannical are to be accepted and any deviation is met with insult, attack, and hatred.Our new tolerant society had become intolerant of truth and tolerance itself.Join Ron Bouchard and Dinka Vujovich for part two of a two-episode discussion on the importance of tolerance, truth, and morality.  In this episode we'll discuss:The rise of Marxism in AmericaThe unholy alliance of groups, factions, and governments trying to destroy our country.from within and more.Related Links and Resources:Coachingbydinka.comVisit our Gone Fishing Podcast WebpageSubscribe on ItunesWatch our video “Together We Stand”Waypoint's Facebook PageWaypoint's LinkedInWaypoint's  TwitterWaypoint Mastermind's WebsiteSchedule a Free 50 Minute Clarity Session with Ron BouchardVisit Sargasso ApparelSo Long, and Thanks For All the Fish!

Dr. Frank Lipman received his initial medical training in South Africa and emigrated to the United States in 1984. He became Board Certified in internal medicine after serving as Chief Medical Resident in his final year of residency at Lincoln Hospital in New York City. Becoming more and more aware of both the strengths and the weaknesses of his training, he began to study acupuncture, Chinese medicine, functional medicine, nutrition, herbal medicine, biofeedback, meditation and yoga. He began to see that the polarization between how western modalities and other healing philosophies merely negated the positive attributes of both. He saw that true healing lay in a blend between the two. He now practices his unique composite of what he calls “Good Medicine”, combining all the systems in which he has trained. Dr Lipman has consulted high-profile patients, like Gwyneth Paltrow and Maggie Gyllenhaal and is the best-selling author of 5 books (with an additional 2 in the wings for publication at the end of 2020 and early 2021!)

Who Got PPP Loans and What Good It Did (0:33)Guest: Stacy Cowley, Business Reporter, New York TimesA return to pandemic shutdown is looming over states including Florida, Texas and California, as COVID-19 cases spike. We're learning more now about how the first wave of relief loans to small businesses worked out. The Paycheck Protection Program–or PPP–handed out $520 billion in loans, but there's still more than $130 billion available in the program and the deadline to apply has been extended to August 8. The First Powered Flight on Another Planet (17:35)Guest: Mimi Aung, Project Manager, Mars Helicopter Project, Jet Propulsion LaboratoryOn July 30, NASA will launch its next Mars Rover, Perserverance. And when it gets there, the red planet is going to hear a new sound. That sound will be the rotating blades of a helicopter specially built for Mars called Ingenuity. And it's going to take the first powered flight on another planet.  Colorism and Skin Lightening's Toll on Communities (35:47)Guest: Sarah Webb, Professor, University of Illinois Springfield, Founder, Colorism HealingA handful of the largest skin care and beauty companies in the world are discontinuing products that promise to lighten skin, or changing the names to downplay promises of “lighter skin.” They have names like “Fair & Lovely,” and aren't typically for sale in the US, but make companies like Johnson & Johnson, Unilever and Loreal a lot of money in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.  Stiffening Our Roads Could Lead to Lower Vehicle Emissions (52:50)Guest: Jeremy Gregory, Civil & Environmental Engineering Researcher, Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyA hidden problem with America's roads is draining our gas tanks and causing every mile to emit more CO2 in the atmosphere. The fix, according to MIT scientists, is to make our roads out of stiffer material. The Widespread Problem of Weight Stigma Among Pregnant and Post-Partum Women (1:01:13)Guest: Angela Incollingo Rodriguez, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Worcester Polytechnic InstituteThe stigma around weight in American culture is deeply engrained and problematic. But you'd think that at least pregnant women would be free from that stigma. She's growing another human inside her, for goodness sake? But two-thirds of pregnant and postpartum women recently surveyed reported experiencing some form of weight stigma. Two-thirds! Pilgrimage to Mecca Cancelled Due to COVID-19 (1:13:57)Guest: Yasir Qadhi, Dean of Academic Affairs, The Islamic Seminary of AmericaThe annual pilgrimage to Mecca has been effectively cancelled this summer, because of the pandemic. It's a first in modern history and a deep disappointment to the millions of Muslims from around the world who'd planned to make the holy trip. Many save and plan their entire lives to do the pilgrimage once before they die, as Islam requires. Teaching Conversation Skills to Kids (1:31:25)Guest: Rachel Wadham, Host, Worlds Awaiting on BYUradio, Education and Juvenile Collections Librarian, BYU
