On Episode 42 of Mindful Warrior Radio, we welcome Gary Hall Jr.—a three-time Olympian, ten-time Olympic medalist, and one of the most iconic figures in the history of U.S. swimming. Known for his electric speed, bold personality, and trailblazing spirit, Gary brought showmanship and passion to the world stage, forever changing the culture of the sport.Beyond his achievements in the pool, Gary is also a powerful advocate for health and resilience. After being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes just one year before the 2000 Olympics, he defied expectations and returned to win multiple gold medals—becoming a beacon of hope for athletes and individuals living with chronic illness.Today, Gary continues to inspire as a speaker, mentor, and champion for wellness and performance, encouraging others to push past limits and lead with authenticity.In this powerful conversation, Gary gives us a window into navigating competitive environments, challenging traditional systems, and embracing his own unique way of being and doing.On his unconventional approach to training, Gary is proud of his novel contributions to what has now become the new standard. “You seemed completely off your rocker if you weren't going to try to do 20,000 meters a day. Like, you could never be good if you didn't do that volume of training. If you had suggested what some top-level swimmers are doing now—training three times a week, 1,500 meters—it would have sounded crazy. It's interesting to see how the sport has grown, and I'm happy to have been a brick in the wall of the evolution in the sport.”On artistry versus science in swimming, Gary says he's “always felt like an artist in a math class. You could oversimplify it to right brain vs. left brain—I was a creative type. I didn't care about the formula. I tried the formula, the scientific method approach, and I was miserable. I hated it. I hated the sport. I wanted to quit. And it wasn't until I started just tuning into wavelengths underwater—the way the water moves, feeling that, and learning how to channel and move through the element of water—that it was so much more interesting. That's more art than science. And I always felt like the artist could win.”About the advantages of being a right-brain thinker, Gary notes, “The people that need that structure also may be apprehensive of art, but they also don't handle chaos well. And we know in this life; there's chaos and there are agents of chaos. If you are rigid, if you are inflexible in your mind and how you accept and process chaos when it arises (you struggle). And so, I think that being able to pivot quickly, that was an advantage in the art department, not the science department.”To learn more about Mindful Warrior and Mindful Warrior Radio, follow us on Instagram @therealmindfulwarrior and visit www.mindfulwarrior.com.

Artistic breakthroughs don't happen by accident. They emerge from dedicated practice, willingness to fail, and persistence through periods of frustration and doubt. But how do you recognize when you're on the cusp of something transformative versus simply taking another step in your creative journey?Recorded face-to-face at Poolhaus Art Studio in Waco, Texas, this intimate conversation dives deep into the psychology of creative evolution. Both artists share candidly about their current struggles and triumphs, with one revealing a year-long process of private experimentation that's finally beginning to bear fruit. They discuss the delicate balance between methodically refining established techniques and daringly exploring new territories – what one describes as "exploiting the known while exploring the unknown."The discussion reveals powerful strategies for navigating creative uncertainty, including developing systematic approaches to idea management, embracing the cyclical nature of creative development, and maintaining belief in the process even when progress seems elusive. Both artists emphasize the importance of the mantra "the work is taking me somewhere" as a touchstone during difficult periods.Today's artists face unique challenges in the social media age, where the pressure to maintain visibility conflicts with the traditional approach of developing work privately before revealing a cohesive body. The conversation explores finding personal balance, using platforms like Instagram as a "visual journal" without feeling obligated to share finished work prematurely. As Simon de Pury noted, "Instagram will have the same impact on the art market as YouTube had on the music industry" – removing gatekeepers and creating direct connections between artists and audiences.Whether you're struggling to find direction in your practice or contemplating a bold new direction, this episode offers a raw, honest look at the breakthrough process from artists who continue to push their own boundaries.

Brian Bowen Smith discusses his artistic approach, stating that his shows emerge organically rather than from a pre-planned strategy. He expresses his interest in mixed media and color photography, noting that his color works must be so visually overwhelming that the viewer focuses solely on the vibrancy rather than the subject. He also touches upon his nude photography, aiming for an aesthetic that transcends the nudity itself, a goal he jokingly equates to a gynecologist's professional detachment.

What does it mean to create your own personal theology? In this episode, CJ Miller sits down with author and spiritual explorer Larry Jordan to review and unpack his book The Way and to discuss the journey of questioning, searching, and embracing a wide spectrum of wisdom traditions.Raised Catholic in Western Pennsylvania, Larry found himself in midlife asking life's biggest questions: Why are we here? Where do we go when we die? His search led him through Christianity, mysticism, Eastern faiths, and even science—discovering along the way that no single tradition holds all the answers.Together, CJ and Larry explore:Why holding beliefs lightly opens space for deeper truth.The surprising ways East and West have influenced each other.How mystics, quantum physics, and prayer all point toward oneness.The difference between faith as certainty and faith as curiosity.Larry's eclectic spiritual practice—drawing from Zen, Quaker meetings, and interspiritual communities.At the heart of the conversation is Larry's invitation: “You Might Be Right.” Instead of rigid dogma, he calls for dialogue, openness, and humility in the face of mystery.If you've ever wondered how to honor your roots while remaining open to other traditions, or if you're curious about blending science, mysticism, and spirituality into your own practice, this conversation will expand your perspective.Larry Jordan is the author of The Way, contributor to the Patheos column You Might Be Right, and an interspiritual teacher encouraging seekers to ask questions and embrace wonder.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Finding Artistic Inspiration in the Heart of Tivoli Gardens Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-08-20-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Sommeren i København var i fuld gang, og Tivoli Gardens summede af liv.En: The summer in København was in full swing, and Tivoli Gardens buzzed with life.Da: Farverige lys blinkede overalt, mens lyden af ​​musik og latter fyldte den varme aftenluft.En: Colorful lights blinked everywhere, while the sound of music and laughter filled the warm evening air.Da: Freja, en ung kunstner med et sind fuld af tvivl, gik langs stierne med sin ven Lars ved sin side.En: Freja, a young artist with a mind full of doubt, walked along the paths with her friend Lars by her side.Da: "Du skal prøve noget nyt, Freja," sagde Lars, idet han kastede et blik rundt på festivalens mange mennesker.En: "You need to try something new, Freja," said Lars, glancing around at the festival's many people.Da: "Måske finder du inspiration her."En: "Maybe you'll find inspiration here."Da: Freja nikkede, men hendes hjerte lå tungt.En: Freja nodded, but her heart felt heavy.Da: Hun følte sig fanget i en kreativ hul.En: She felt trapped in a creative rut.Da: Hendes pensler lå ubrugte derhjemme, og hun længtes efter at finde gnisten igen.En: Her brushes lay unused at home, and she longed to find the spark again.Da: Pludselig ebbede lyden fra en guitar henover pladsen og greb hendes opmærksomhed.En: Suddenly, the sound of a guitar wafted across the square and caught her attention.Da: En ung musiker, Mikkel, stod på en lille scene, og hans selvsikre spil lyste op i natten.En: A young musician, Mikkel, stood on a small stage, and his confident playing lit up the night.Da: Han virkede som om, han vidste præcis, hvad han ville.En: He seemed to know exactly what he wanted.Da: "Han ser ud til at have styr på det," mumlede Freja til Lars.En: "He looks like he's got it all together," Freja muttered to Lars.Da: "Jeg ville ønske, jeg havde den selvtillid."En: "I wish I had that confidence."Da: Lars smilede.En: Lars smiled.Da: "Måske kan du få noget af hans energi i aften."En: "Maybe you can get some of his energy tonight."Da: Freja følte sig splittet.En: Freja felt torn.Da: Hun kunne forblive her og observere bag de trygge rammer af anonymitet, eller hun kunne følge Lars' råd og række ud efter noget anderledes.En: She could remain here and observe behind the safe confines of anonymity, or she could follow Lars' advice and reach out for something different.Da: Da Mikkels sang nærmede sig sin afslutning, skete noget uventet.En: As Mikkel's song neared its end, something unexpected happened.Da: Deres øjne mødtes, og i det øjeblik følte Freja en uventet bølge af inspiration.En: Their eyes met, and in that moment, Freja felt an unexpected wave of inspiration.Da: Det var som om, Mikkels musik talte direkte til hendes kunstneriske sjæl.En: It was as if Mikkel's music spoke directly to her artistic soul.Da: Efter koncerten rykkede Freja modvilligt frem mod scenen med Lars ved sin side.En: After the concert, Freja reluctantly moved toward the stage with Lars by her side.Da: "Jeg må tale med ham," sagde hun beslutsomt.En: "I have to talk to him," she said decisively.Da: Mikkel stod ved kanten af scenen, omgivet af en lille gruppe tilhørere.En: Mikkel stood at the edge of the stage, surrounded by a small group of listeners.Da: Da han så Freja, brød han ud i et smil.En: When he saw Freja, he broke into a smile.Da: "Hej!En: "Hi!Da: Nød du musikken?"En: Did you enjoy the music?"Da: Freja nikkede, en smule genert.En: Freja nodded, a bit shy.Da: "Ja, den var fantastisk.En: "Yes, it was fantastic.Da: Jeg er kunstner, men føler mig... tom for ideer."En: I'm an artist, but I feel... empty of ideas."Da: Mikkel så tankefuldt på hende.En: Mikkel looked at her thoughtfully.Da: "Vi står alle der på et tidspunkt.En: "We all stand there at some point.Da: Prøv at lade verden inspirere dig – farverne, lydene, historierne fra menneskerne omkring dig."En: Try to let the world inspire you – the colors, the sounds, the stories from the people around you."Da: Freja lyttede, og hun kunne mærke tvivlen løsne sit greb.En: Freja listened, and she could feel the doubt loosen its grip.Da: Deres samtale fortsatte indtil Tivoli Gardens' lys begyndte at dæmpe.En: Their conversation continued until Tivoli Gardens' lights began to dim.Da: Da Freja gik væk fra scenen den aften, mærkede hun en fornyet drivkraft.En: As Freja walked away from the stage that night, she felt a renewed drive.Da: Som om nattens gnistre og Mikkels opmuntring havde plantet en ny gnist.En: It was as if the night's sparks and Mikkel's encouragement had planted a new spark.Da: Hun var klar til at male igen, og ikke længere bange for at træde udenfor sine vante rammer.En: She was ready to paint again, no longer afraid to step outside her familiar boundaries.Da: Lars klemte hendes skulder.En: Lars squeezed her shoulder.Da: "Jeg sagde jo, at du skulle træde ud."En: "I told you, you should step out."Da: Og Freja lo.En: And Freja laughed.Da: "Jeg er glad for, at jeg gjorde det."En: "I'm glad I did."Da: Med et smil vidste hun, at denne aften ville blive begyndelsen på noget nyt og betydningsfuldt.En: With a smile, she knew that this night would be the beginning of something new and meaningful.Da: Hun havde vinden i ryggen og modet til at lade verden blive hendes lærred.En: She had the wind at her back and the courage to let the world become her canvas.

This new menopause therapy is like stand-up comedy for hot flashes.  My guest in this episode uses humor and truth to bridge the gap between women's health then, now and the future. Her message is for all women on how to address the gaps in awareness about menopause.  If you're a health and wellness pro you'll want to listen to this, the new menopause therapy.   My Guest: Satori Shakoor is a dynamic storyteller, performer, and social entrepreneur, known for founding the award-winning The Secret Society of Twisted Storytellers®. Her career began as a background singer with George Clinton and Parliament/Funkadelic, later expanding into acting, comedy, and writing. She has captivated audiences on NPR, global stages, and podcasts.  Shakoor uses fearless humor and cultural storytelling, delivering a perspective on aging, womanhood, and the midlife experience in her new comedic stand-up storytelling concert film “Confessions of a Menopausal Femme Fatale,” premiered June 12 on Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, and Google Play, with pre-orders beginning June 1 on iTunes.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:05:06] How did you begin your career and artistic journey? [00:15:00] Why did you choose stand-up humor to convey a message about menopause and aging? [00:25:21] What do you hope women take away from watching “Confessions of a Menopausal Femme Fatale”? [00:31:30] You attended a gathering with Halle Berry and Governor Whitmer to discuss women's healthcare and menopause, what occurred during those conversations? How do you hope your film contributes to that growing cultural dialogue? [00:36:09] You moved between music, theatre, television, and film—what keeps you pushing creative boundaries? What's next after this project? [00:35:53] What do you say to women listening who may not have tapped into their own creative expression for decades?    The New Menopause Therapy: Breaking the Silence Around Menopause   Therapy Through Storytelling Encourage women to speak openly as part of their health journey. Use hormonal shifts as a source of creative energy. Honesty about symptoms creates solidarity. Turn private struggles into public art. Key Takeaways Menopause can be a time of creative rebirth, not just physical change. Storytelling serves as both personal therapy and cultural activism. Reframing “femme fatale” energy empowers women to embrace their sensuality without shame. Speaking openly about menopause can strengthen community bonds and normalize experiences. Artistic expression can help process and transform difficult transitions.   Connect with Satori: Website - Satori Shakoor Website - The Secret Society of Twisted Storytellers® Facebook - Satori Shakoor Films  Facebook - The Secret Society Of Twisted Story Tellers Instagram - @satorishakoorfilms   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Running vs Walking for Fast Fat Loss in Menopause Next Episode -  More Like This - Midlife Women's Makeover: Radiate Confidence.

Nostalgia in golf often takes the form of pining for the good old days, when the ball actually curved and skilled golfers made it bend around trees, both ways, probably on the same shot. In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg consider recent comments by Charley Hull, asking how much golf has changed and what effect that has on the spectator experience.

All personal gifts come with a dark side. High ambition can lead to arrogance, if unmanaged. Great power can lead to great abuse, if unchecked. Artistic brilliance can provoke private suffering—if not balanced with periods of peace, enjoyment and non-doing. I've watched a lot of documentaries on superstar artists, athletes and industrialists this summer and have noted these common threats.My latest book “The Wealth Money Can't Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I'm absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness.

In this episode of the Artist Academy podcast, I open up about something that so many artists struggle with: support systems (or the lack thereof). This episode explores what it's like to grow a creative career without constant encouragement from those around you. There's a reflection on the difference between blind support and honest concern, and how to stay focused when friends or family don't fully “get” what you're trying to build. If you've ever felt unseen, second-guessed, or unsupported, this one's for you. It's all about trusting yourself, finding the right community, and creating for you, not for the applause.www.artistacademy.com
