Cat & Cloud Podcast Cat & Cloud Coffee www.catandcloud.com/ Finding Joy in Every Season of Work: Part I – Ep #440 Summary In this episode, Chris and Jared (plus Casey) reflect on the early days that pulled us into specialty coffee and how those experiences shaped the work we're still doing today. From skateboarding friendships and barista competitions to building cafés and leading teams, we talk about how the things that bring joy evolve over time. As careers grow and responsibilities expand, the work changes—and sometimes the parts you loved most become harder to hold onto. We explore the idea that every season of life and business brings different sources of meaning, and that part of the real work is finding the through lines that keep the joy alive. This conversation looks back at where it all started while asking an ongoing question: how do you stay connected to the things that made you love the work in the first place?

Maggie Robin raised a bear cub who grew into an extraordinary companion.When Maggie Robin and her wrestler husband Andy brought home a bear cub in 1970s Scotland, their friends thought they were mad. But the couple raised him as one of the family. Named Hercules, the tiny cub grew into a towering but gentle bear who slept by the fire, played in the garden and travelled everywhere with them. Attitudes towards keeping wild animals have changed since then, but at the time, Hercules was something of a celebrity and even appeared on film, on chat shows across the world, and met the then Prime Minister. To Maggie though, ‘Herc' was simply family. Then one day, while filming in the Highlands, Hercules slipped his leash and vanished into the wild, sparking a nationwide search. Archive clips came from Hercules The Bear, A Love Story courtesy of Friel Kean Films.

In this episode, we discuss two elements of a recently released white paper titled “Women in the Workplace in 2025: Utahns' Awareness, Understanding, and Attitudes.” The two we'll be talking about today will be the gender pay gap and sexual harassment and gender-based discrimination. Based on an 83-item survey conducted in October and November of 2025, this study collected data from more than 5,200 Utahns across both representative and convenience samples. This marks the third consecutive year of data collection, allowing us to examine how perceptions and experiences have shifted since the 2023 and 2024 surveys. In this episode, we'll walk through key findings from the two sections mentioned to better understand the challenges, trends, and opportunities shaping the lives of Utah women and girls today.Dr. Susan Madsen, an Extension Professor of Leadership at Utah State University and the Founding Director of the UWLP and A Bolder Way Forward, is joined by two Bolder Way Forward leaders.

In this message on the final four Beatitudes from Gospel of Matthew 5:1–12, we explore mercy, purity of heart, peacemaking, and persecution for righteousness. Jesus teaches that the merciful receive mercy, reflecting God’s compassionate nature. The pure in heart—those marked by integrity and love—will see God. Peacemakers, transformed by Christ, carry His peace and embody reconciliation. Even persecution becomes a blessing, promising eternal reward in the Kingdom of Heaven. True Kingdom living isn’t striving to imitate Christ outwardly, but allowing Him to live through us daily. For more information go to c3tuggerah.org.au
Decolonial Keywords: South Asian Thoughts and Attitudes (Columbia UP, 2025) presents a set of keywords and concepts embedded in the languages of South Asia and its vast cultural landscape. It reiterates specific attitudes, ways of seeing and methods of doing, which are embedded in the historical and contemporary experiences in the region. The words, concepts, ideas and attitudes in the volume explore the contexts of their production and how their meanings might have changed at different historical moments. The volume also attempts to work out if these words and concepts can infuse a certain intellectual rigor to reinvent social sciences and humanities in the region and beyond. Individual essays, which are creative, imaginative, ethnographic and historical, explore the possibility of South Asian intellectual worlds and words to create a broader crossregional and global social science and humanities. The volume argues that it is important to move away from the intellectual shackles inherited from colonial and neo-colonial experiences while also not succumbing to the traps of local reductionist nativisms and cultural nationalisms.

Almost all of us believe families should have the right to deliver a eulogy at their funeral. While one in eight of us would consider not having any service at all after they die. That's according to a new wide ranging survey on our attitudes to funerals published this morning by RIP.ie. To discuss these interesting findings was Head of RIP.ie Richie Kelly.

In a 2022 paper published in Science Advances, our guest today along with co-authors argued that “Public attitudes that are in opposition to scientific consensus can be disastrous and include rejection of vaccines and opposition to climate change mitigation policies.”So what does this mean? And what are the implications for both science and society?To discuss this I am joined by Professor Nick Light of the Lundquist College of Business at the University of Oregon.About our guest…In his research, Nick applies what marketers and psychologists have learned about consumer knowledge, preferences, and risk perceptions to address problems relating to the public's understanding of science. Nick also studies consumers' perceptions of the simplicity or complexity of brands, objects, and phenomena, and the downstream consequences of those perceptions.Prior to joining academia, Nick worked for about 8 years as a marketing manager and strategist for several Fortune 500 brands in New York City and interned at the United Nations.Nick's website with more information on his research can be accessed here: www.nicklightresearch.comThe paper discussed in the article - Knowledge overconfidence is associated with anti-consensus views on controversial scientific issues - is open access and available here: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abo0038More information on University of Oregon Center for Science Communication Research can be found here: https://scr.uoregon.edu/ Hosted on Acast.

Worship is not just about what we do. It's about how we come before God.In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Pastor Jeff Cranston and Tiffany continue the Practical Theology series by exploring four essential attitudes that shape true worship: joy, wholeheartedness, faith, and reverent fear.Many believers attend church, sing the songs, and participate in the service. Yet Scripture makes clear that God is not after outward performance. He looks at the heart. This conversation unpacks what it means to approach God with the right inner posture and how the Holy Spirit forms these attitudes in us as we draw near to Christ.What We Discussed02:10 Worship Is More Than SingingWorship is the offering of ourselves to God. Scripture calls us not only to worship, but to worship with the right heart.03:00 Joy and Gladness in WorshipPsalm 100 commands believers to come before the Lord with joy. This joy is a settled gladness rooted in the gospel and in what God has done for us.05:30 Joy Is Rooted in RedemptionChristians worship joyfully because they have been rescued, forgiven, and adopted. Worship flows from gratitude for grace.07:00 Wholeheartedness, Not Empty RoutineColossians 3:23 reminds us to do everything heartily as unto the Lord. Worship without heart becomes mechanical and insincere.10:15 Worship Requires FaithHebrews teaches that we draw near in full assurance of faith. Worship is grounded in confidence that we truly have access to God through Christ.11:30 Access Through the Finished Work of JesusOur confidence in worship does not come from how well we performed this week. It rests entirely on Christ's finished work on the cross.12:45 Reverent Fear and Holy AweBiblical fear is not terror. It is reverence, awe, and deep respect. Joy reminds us God is our Father. Reverence reminds us He is holy.14:30 Joy and Reverence Are Not OppositesTrue worship holds both together. We approach God with gladness and with humility, recognizing both His grace and His holiness.16:00 The Spirit Produces These AttitudesJoy, faith, sincerity, and reverence are not manufactured by willpower. They are cultivated by the Holy Spirit as we draw near to Christ.17:30 Preparing Your Heart Before SundayWorship begins before the service starts. Reflecting on the gospel, confessing sin, and quieting the heart prepares us to approach God thoughtfully and sincerely.19:00 Worship Is an OfferingEvery time we gather, we bring something invisible but precious: our heart. God sees it.“Worship is not a performance to evaluate. It is an offering we present to God.” – Pastor Jeff Cranston

No! Not alligators - litigators. Trial attorneys who are curious about learning the tools to engage with their own narrative so that they could connect to the stories of their plaintiff clients - not as lawyers but as people. Once they know how to access their own stories they can engage the experiences of the jury, find common ground with the plaintiff's story and, be well on their way to winning the trial.Over 30 years my clients have learned that before you tell someone else's story be very clear about your own. Do the hard work of an archeological dig on your narrative. Once we understand how our narrative shapes and re-shapes our life, our purpose, the relationships we have with others we are well on our way to knowing what we stand for, what we won't stand for, and how we can be of service. Our story can become one of advocacy, leadership, and healing. Our story can shift attitudes, behaviors, even cultures.CURIOUS TO LEARN MORE?

There is a lot of talk about leaving corporate life… …quitting your job, and "betting on yourself" as the only path to freedom. In this episode, I ask a different question, is corporate life really broken, or are most workplaces just not generous enough yet to give people what they are craving. I share why we do not need every talented person to become a solo entrepreneur, and how generous workplace cultures can offer the same things people think they have to leave to find, ownership of time, presence at home, optionality, purpose, and meaningful impact. We'll walk through twelve signs that often push people toward the entrepreneurial leap, things like wanting to own your calendar, desiring more purpose than politics, seeking freedom over titles, and wanting to grow your own brand and skills. Instead of telling you to quit, I show how the best companies are building environments where you can have those things while still working with a team, with resources, and with stability. You'll also four practical solutions you can start using right now to make your organization more generous, whether you are the official leader or you are leading from within. If you have ever thought, "Maybe I need to leave corporate to feel fulfilled," this episode will help you see another path. You will learn how to build or seek out a generous culture where you can be present for your family, own more of your time, grow like an entrepreneur, and still enjoy the support of a healthy organization. *Enroll in the "Feeling Generous" Email course

What if changing your attitude was all you needed to do to shift your relationship to money? In this episode, we explore the idea that earning more money has less to do with effort and more to do with identity. Arash Vossoughi introduces the concept of money compatibility, the inner alignment required to receive, hold, and grow income, and explains why many people unknowingly repel the wealth they say they want. Through mindset shifts, personal responsibility, and extreme ownership, Arash shows how money responds to who you believe you are, not just what you do. From uncovering hidden triggers and limiting attitudes to building the mental equivalent of success, this conversation reveals how confidence, self-belief, and personal development expand your earning potential. Arash also shares his journey to seven figures and explains how raising your identity compatibility with money can transform not only your finances, but every area of your life.Key Points From This Episode:Why many people are not compatible with earning more money.

Joe Costandy explores the challenges facing youth engagement in the Church and examines secular research on declining Christian affiliation among younger generations. He discusses factors such as youth feeling unwelcome, perceiving the Church as restrictive, and struggles with relevance and intellectual doubts. Joe highlights studies showing the strong influence of family religious conversations on maintaining faith and explains that many young people have their moral and religious views shaped by age 12 or 13. He also addresses common reasons youth give for leaving, including disagreements with social issues and the experience of judgment within the Church. Solutions focus on encouraging open faith conversations at home, involving parents more deeply, and creating a welcoming church environment that connects faith to real life. Joe underscores the importance of teaching children that repentance welcomes them back into the community. This talk provides insight into youth attitudes toward faith and practical steps toward nurturing lasting connection to the Church.

In this sermon, Fr. Matthias Shehad reflects on Christ's teachings about sorrow and joy before His crucifixion, emphasizing the Christian call to carry the cross. Fr. Matthias explains that worldly joys are temporary and can be taken away, while the joy Christ promises after sorrow is lasting and cannot be taken away. He addresses common attitudes toward suffering and the cross, including ignorance, carelessness, offense, fear, and contrasts these with the correct attitude of obedience as exemplified by St. Peter. The talk challenges believers to embrace the crosses God permits in their lives, understanding them as part of spiritual growth and salvation. Fr. Matthias invites listeners to personally ask God what cross they are called to carry for their journey with Christ, emphasizing the importance of following Him through both sorrow and joy.

Discernment in this age of internet social media and AI is more important than ever. This holds true with anything in life but is especially important to the spiritual seeker.

In many ways, humanity seems to have become more humane and inclusive over time. While there's still a lot of progress to be made, campaigns to give people of different genders, races, sexualities, ethnicities, beliefs, and abilities equal treatment and rights have had significant success.It's tempting to believe this was inevitable — that the arc of history “bends toward justice,” and that as humans get richer, we'll make even more moral progress.But today's guest Christopher Brown — a professor of history at Columbia University and specialist in the abolitionist movement and the British Empire during the 18th and 19th centuries — believes the story of how slavery became unacceptable suggests moral progress is far from inevitable.Rebroadcast: This episode was originally aired in February 2023.Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.link/CLBWhile most of us today feel that the abolition of slavery was sure to happen sooner or later as humans became richer and more educated, Christopher doesn't believe any of the arguments for that conclusion pass muster. If he's right, a counterfactual history where slavery remains widespread in 2023 isn't so far-fetched.As Christopher lays out in his two key books, Moral Capital: Foundations of British Abolitionism and Arming Slaves: From Classical Times to the Modern Age, slavery has been ubiquitous throughout history. Slavery of some form was fundamental in Classical Greece, the Roman Empire, in much of the Islamic civilisation, in South Asia, and in parts of early modern East Asia, Korea, China.It was justified on all sorts of grounds that sound mad to us today. But according to Christopher, while there's evidence that slavery was questioned in many of these civilisations, and periodically attacked by slaves themselves, there was no enduring or successful moral advocacy against slavery until the British abolitionist movement of the 1700s.That movement first conquered Britain and its empire, then eventually the whole world. But the fact that there's only a single time in history that a persistent effort to ban slavery got off the ground is a big clue that opposition to slavery was a contingent matter: if abolition had been inevitable, we'd expect to see multiple independent abolitionist movements thoroughly history, providing redundancy should any one of them fail.Christopher argues that this rarity is primarily down to the enormous economic and cultural incentives to deny the moral repugnancy of slavery, and crush opposition to it with violence wherever necessary.Mere awareness is insufficient to guarantee a movement will arise to fix a problem. Humanity continues to allow many severe injustices to persist, despite being aware of them. So why is it so hard to imagine we might have done the same with forced labour?In this episode, Christopher describes the unique and peculiar set of political, social and religious circumstances that gave rise to the only successful and lasting anti-slavery movement in human history. These circumstances were sufficiently improbable that Christopher believes there are very nearby worlds where abolitionism might never have taken off.Christopher and host Rob Wiblin also discuss:Various instantiations of slavery throughout human historySigns of antislavery sentiment before the 17th centuryThe role of the Quakers in early British abolitionist movementThe importance of individual “heroes” in the abolitionist movementArguments against the idea that the abolition of slavery was contingentWhether there have ever been any major moral shifts that were inevitableChapters:Rob's intro (00:00:00)Cold open (00:01:45)Who's Christopher Brown?
