What happens when you don't just envision your dream, but actually step into the moment it comes true? In this episode, we dive deeper into the power of experiential visualization by imagining not just achieving your goals, but experiencing the recognition and applause from others when you do. Since we naturally get our sense of self from how others see us, why not use that tendency to fuel our motivation? Learn how to create a mental "refueling station" by vividly experiencing your future success and bringing that feeling back to energize your present moments, creating a renewable source of motivation you can tap into whenever you need it.

Beatbox Jake is an entertainer who blends the craft of guitar and the art of beatboxing in a unique genre he calls “Beatbox Metal”. His journey started with guitar, inspired by influences like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. Jake is more than just a “shredder.” While he enjoys the fast, ballistic style of playing, he's also committed years to theory and including melodic choices to elevate his work.Some years into his musical journey, he stumbled upon beatboxing and became completely immersed in a new world of possibilities. He took the same approach to learning as he did with guitar, building a library of sounds that eventually led him to merge the two into a singular blend.I really enjoyed chatting with Jake. Hearing about his experience as a one-man band, how he discovered these talents, and his mindset throughout. I especially appreciated Jake's vulnerability when it comes to learning how to accept compliments and being intentional with the time he gives fans and fellow artists at events.For updates on Jake, check out his website at https://beatboxjake.com/We hope you enjoy the chat!About this Podcast : Craft Talk is a collection of interviews with people of different disciplines ranging from creativity, business, and lifestyle.

You've earned the applause — so why does it still feel off? In this episode, we explore why affirmation can't anchor your identity, and how obedience, not approval, is the path to real peace.You've said yes when everything in you whispered no.You've chased the next achievement, the next “well done,” hoping it would finally feel like enough.And yet… something inside still aches.This episode of The Recalibration is for the high-capacity human who's done everything right — but quietly wonders why applause still feels hollow.Julie Holly brings emotional clarity, biblical insight, and deep identity wisdom as she explores why social validation can't hold what only obedience can anchor. You'll hear a vulnerable personal story, a powerful contrast between Peter and Jonah, and the deeper reason so many high performers struggle with approval addiction — even after success.Inside this episode:Why people-pleasing often begins as a safety strategyHow Peter's denial and Jonah's resistance both stem from identity misalignmentThe nervous system's role in approval-seekingWhy performance drains but presence restoresWhy obedience — not applause — is the only secure anchorToday's Micro Recalibration: Obedience isn't just about saying yes — it's about choosing alignment even when it costs you something socially. That could look like disappointing others, releasing an image you've curated, or following God's whisper instead of the crowd's cheer.Where am I saying yes to people but no to God?Write down one place you're called to obey — even if it costs approval.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Acts 12:20-25 The words associated with pride/proud as defined in the OT Hebrew and NT Greek generally describe arrogance, conceit. This trait inevitably brings the judgment of God upon those who manifest it. One such word that certainly has relevance to the passage today is 'pride.' Even though the last five verses of Acts 12 does not have the precise words 'pride' or 'proud' – the essence of this word is implied.

Applause feels good — until it becomes the role you live for. Discover why image can't hold you together, how Bono refused the box of fame, and how ILR restores identity beyond visibility.Applause, recognition, visibility — they can feel like fuel. But when your sense of self is tied to what others see, it's only a matter of time before you feel hollow inside.In today's episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the hidden cost of living for image and public identity. Roles aren't just professional; sometimes it's the public role — the admired one, the accomplished one, the reliable one — that distorts who you are.Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and Bono's story of refusing to be boxed in by fame, Julie shows why image is fragile and why identity is the only foundation that endures.You'll discover:Why applause lights up your nervous system like a dopamine hit — but never lastsHow the pull to live for perception shows up in workplaces, communities, and families — not just on global stagesWhy therapy helps you process and coaching helps you manage, but ILR frees you at the rootHow Bono and U2 risked their following by evolving their music, choosing authenticity over approvalA practical test to know if you've confused image with identityToday's Micro Recalibration: Ask yourself: What role am I playing for others that's hiding my true self? Write it down. Call it what it is. Then ask: who am I apart from this role?If you've ever felt the weight of performing for perception — in your workplace, in your family, or in your circle of influence — this episode will help you recalibrate. Visibility doesn't have to consume you. With ILR, it can become an overflow of identity, not the mask you hide behind.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Our conversation with poet, writer, and translator James Shea, whose extraordinary new collection of poems Last Day of My Face (University of Iowa Press, 2025), was recently published as a winner of the prestigious Iowa Poetry Prize.  James Shea's work delights in word play and unexpected images with a voice set at and considering the edges of meaning. As you'll hear in our conversation, Shea draws from the traditions of haiku and The New York School, giving us humorous and elegiac meditations on our shared predicament as minds trying to make sense of emergency. Or, as Shea puts it at the start of the long poem, “Failed Self-Portrait,” which ends his new collection—and our conversation, “I've made a sort of makeshift / sense of ourselves…” What makes this conversation especially meaningful is that our recording was also a reunion; my colleague, Adult Services Librarian Stevie Noguchi, and I each had James Shea as a poetry professor when he taught in Chicago over a decade ago. Stevie joins me as co-host for this special episode. You'll also hear Shea's reflections on the art of translation, poetic lineage, and readings from the treasure trove of recent publications Shea has put out, as translator and editor, including:  Applause for a Cloud (Black Ocean, 2025), Shea's translations of haiku by Japanese poet Sayumi Kamakura, The Routledge Global Haiku Reader (Routledge, 2023), an introduction to current issues within haiku studies, which Shea co-edited with Grant Caldwell, and, Moving a Stone: Selected Poems of Yam Gong (Zephyr Press, 2022), co-translated with novelist Dorothy Tse and introducing Hong Kong poet Yam Gong to English-language readers James Shea is associate professor and director of the creative and professional writing program at Hong Kong Baptist University. His previous poetry collections The Lost Novel (2014) and Star in the Eye (2008) were both published by Fence Books.  You can check out titles by James Shea here at the Library as part of our Podcast Collection, featuring books and other materials by past guests of the show.

If you're building for applause, you'll quit the moment it gets quiet and uncomfortable. Real leaders aren't built in the highlight reels — they're forged in the moments when obedience to purpose feels unpopular.In this episode, we'll talk about what it really looks like to step into leadership as a faith-led woman, even when it costs you approval. I'll show you:Why purpose will always offend people committed to staying the sameHow to stop shrinking your message to make others comfortableWhat the Bible shows us about unpopular obedience (think: Noah building the ark before there was rain)Real-world stories of women who chose calling over clapping — and changed industries because of itThis is the reminder you need: Popularity won't sustain you. Purpose will.

From the time we're kids, we crave to be noticed. Applause. Recognition. Followers. But deep down… none of it ever fully satisfies. John the Baptist shows us a better way: “He must increase, but I must decrease.” (John 3:30) Real joy isn't found in making much of ourselves. It's found in making much of Jesus. If you're searching for meaning, hope, and peace—your search ends in Him. - John 3:22-36 Ready to discover more about Jesus or FaithBridge? https://www.faithbridgenh.org/discover

Matthew 3:17 This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.Matthew 4:1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted bythe devil.1 John 2:16 The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.I Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common tomankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you canbear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you canendure it.3 TEMPTATIONS OF EVERY LEADER1. The DESIRE for INSTANT GRATIFICATION.Matthew 4:3–4 The tempter came to Him and said, 'If you are the Son of God, tellthese stones to become bread.' Jesus answered, 'It is written: Man shall not live onbread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'“Appetites are never fully and finally satisfied.”—Andy StanleyMatthew 4:4 Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes fromthe mouth of God.When your SPIRIT is full, your FLESH stops calling the shots.2. The TEMPTATION of MORE.Matthew 4:8–10 Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showedHim all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.

For it is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.'Matthew 4:10 Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.3. The ADDICTION of VALIDATION.Matthew 4:5–7 Then the devil took Him to the holy city and had Him stand on thehighest point of the temple. 'If you are the Son of God,' he said, 'throw yourselfdown.

Sal Licata acknowledged the Yankees' much-needed win but was quick to point out that it doesn't solve their underlying issues. He emphasized that the victory, while a relief, was a temporary fix for a team still struggling with bullpen management and roster construction. Sal reiterated his belief that the team's starters aren't going deep enough into games, putting immense pressure on the bullpen, and that the impending return of Aaron Judge will expose the glaring roster flaws, particularly with Giancarlo Stanton. The win may have provided a moment to "exhale," but Sal warned that the team's core problems are far from over.

“Why do I feel burned out, even when I'm ‘winning'?”If you've ever asked yourself that question, this solo Competitive Edge episode is for you. Brian unpacks the hidden cost of chasing external validation and reveals how top performers stay energized and fulfilled: not by applause, but through alignment.Listeners will learn how to identify signs of misalignment, why saying “yes” to the wrong things leads to burnout, and how to recalibrate toward a more purpose-driven, powerful version of themselves. Brian shares real, in-the-trenches moments from building a new division and offers simple, practical questions to get back on track.This episode will help ambitious leaders stop reacting and start leading with clarity, energy, and intention.

Crystal Nicholls is in the studio this month! She is a wellness coach and former West End dancer born in Barbados and now based in London.Crystal spent six years in The Lion King on the West End, and she also danced on cruise ships, and in TV, commercials, and film projects before transitioning into the health and wellness space for the performing arts. She's spoken about how performing eight shows a week, while an amazing experience, was also relentless and led to a sense of burnout.That experience ignited another passion for her: helping other performers feel their best. During the 2020 lockdowns, Crystal got to work retraining as a holistic health coach and nutrition specialist. With a BFA in Performance Dance and more than a decade on the stage, she combines lived experience with science-backed strategies in her coaching work. Her clients include West End performers, commercial dancers, TV actors, companies, and even performers who are transitioning into new careers. She spoke with me about her journey from dancer to coach and how she works to support performer health and change the narrative each dancer carries about their body and their career. She also shared some behind the scenes stories and insights from her dance career and gave her best advice to adult dancers about how to hold on to joy when dancing, balance busy lives, and ways they play a crucial role in the wellness conversation. I loved hearing from Crystal about why health and wellness shouldn't be a luxury, but one of the foundations of dance as an art form.
