THE ARWEN LEWIS SHOW - Today Arwen welcomes Robert LaRoche Robert began performing professionally at age 15. Originally from Holyoke, Massachusetts, LaRoche formed Power Pop sensations The Sighs in 1982. After 10 years of touring the college club circuit of New England, the Sighs were signed to Virgin Records and released their debut CD “What Goes On” in 1992. The disc received fantastic reviews and the single “Think About Soul” was a staple on “Modern Rock” radio charts throughout the Summer of 1992. The band toured America extensively with such acts as The Spin Doctors and The Gin Blossoms. The band disbanded in 1996 and LaRoche moved on to his next career as lead guitarist and co-writer for Austin, Texas singer Patricia Vonne. Miss Vonne has released seven critically acclaimed CDs on the independent label Bandolera Records and has toured Europe numerous times where they have built a loyal and ever-growing fan base. LaRoche and Vonne also performed at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival in 2013, where they were awarded the critic's pick for “Best Live Performance” LaRoche's song craft is based firmly on American roots music. Influenced by Buddy Holly, Del Shannon, and the aforementioned Everly Brothers, each track on LaRoche's “Patient Man” is filled with endlessly memorable hooks, bathed in a warm and honest production. The Sighs regrouped in the Summer Of 2016 to record for the first time in two decades. The subsequent release Wait On Another Day came out on NYC indie label Omad Records In November 2017. The disc received glowing reviews internationally. In July 2019, Austin singer-songwriter LaRoche released “A Thousand Shades”. This six-song EP is bursting with irresistible hooks and LaRoche's signature harmonies and mesmerizing vocals. Backed by many of Austin's top Musicians, “A Thousand Shades” takes the listener on a journey of love and heartbreak, with a silver lining of redemption. In September 2023, LaRoche will release his new 10-song CD “Forevermore” Produced by Oscar-winning songwriter John DeNicola.

In today's episode of the podcast, we speak with Lauren Cascio, a Founding Partner of Gulp Data, a company helping startups use data to access capital without giving up equity. From the conversation you will learn where the concept of data backed lending comes from, and why it was previously so difficult to carry out.  Lauren kicks off the show by sharing a bit about her background, her role at Gulp Data and what the company does. We then talk about why now is the turning point for data backed lending, with a growing number of startups and businesses looking to extract value from their data.  Additionally, Lauren shares how founders, who are unsure of what their data is worth, can take steps towards identifying and securing value from their data. Lauren also talks about what sets Gulp Data apart from their competitors, and why Gulp Data doesn't shy away from competition, but infact welcomes it. And finally, Lauren opens up about what is next on the horizon for Gulp Data. Links

Earlier this week, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and four co-authors published a paper describing a smart contract protocol called privacy pools that would enable crypto users to associate their funds with those being used for legitimate purposes versus those being used in criminal activity such as hacks or money laundering.

On episode 438 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith welcomes back Dr. Iman Abuzeid, the CEO and founder of Incredible Health. During this in-depth conversation, Keith and Iman discuss Incredible Health's fourth annual report on the state of the nursing profession. With survey responses and data collected from over 3,000 nurses, the report reveals telling insights about what nurses are thinking and where the profession is heading. Some highlights from the study include: 80% of nurses plan to stay in field until retirement, up from 55% last year. Mental wellness is no longer in decline, with nurses reporting a one-point increase from 25% in 2021 to 26% in 2023 of good mental health, following years of pervasive burnout and stress due to the pandemic.  84% do not think the nursing industry is improving fast enough when it comes to addressing understaffing, burnout, and pay. 54% of those surveyed would continue to recommend a career in nursing. 48% of offers made on the Incredible Health platform included a sign-on bonus, up 14% over last year, pointing to health systems leveraging bonuses to bridge salary gaps.  60% of nurses believe it is important to use social media as a nurse in today's healthcare industry, with 77% of respondents saying it's a source of community and support. If you want to get a snapshot of the state of nursing in 2023, this conversation will provide much food for thought.

Earlier this week, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and four co-authors published a paper describing a smart contract protocol called privacy pools that would enable crypto users to associate their funds with those being used for legitimate purposes versus those being used in criminal activity such as hacks or money laundering.

Wow! Tucker just backed-me up on something I have said for 2.5 years about our controlled media environment.How much are we allowed to see so we can form opinions versus having feelings? The theme of today's show is 'A light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.' In a time when free speech is under attack, God remains the ultimate Truth. Tucker Carlson affirms the assertion made on this show over the past several years, that intelligence agencies wield significant influence over news reporting. What are we truly allowed to see and form educated opinions about? And what is the Party's goal for us: to shape our feelings or foster educated opinions? We also discuss a political writer for The Washington Post who seems to be more driven by feelings than facts.What does God's Word say? To the proud and the lofty who think they are hiding their motives …Hebrews 4:13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.Proverbs 16:2 2 All a person's ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord.. . . they should pay careful attention to the towers they think protect them:Jeremiah 22:13-14“Woe to him who builds his house without righteousnessAnd his upper rooms without justice,Who uses his neighbor's services without payAnd does not give him his wages,Who says, ‘I will build myself a roomy houseWith spacious upper rooms,And cut out its windows,Paneling it with cedar and painting it bright red.'Episode 1,066 Links:US announced $250 million security aid package for UkraineThe Pentagon used to focus on defeating our foreign enemies.

The year is 2008. Hussein Fazal just quit his tech job to co-found AdParlor, which built marketing campaigns to run on Facebook. He didn't know if it would work but decided to give it a shot. Hussein sold the company in 2011, stayed on as CEO for a few years, and then, in 2016, launched Snaptravel, a discount hotel reservation service that has saved consumers well over $150 Million. But unlike most companies, for their first 100 customers Hussein didn't write a single line of code. Today, he joins to share his journey as an entrepreneur and how he even got Steph Curry to back his company.Twitter of Host (@mbitpodcast): Shamus MadanTwitter of Guest (@hussein_fazal): Hussein Fazal Learn more about Super.com at well...you guessed it...Super.com

You don't fight evil with evil, and you don't fight power or force with force. You draw attention away from the darkness by ignoring it and doing what's right.  This passionate author and activist, Matthew Weintrub (@heytrub), is about healing Mother Earth and the human family. As a psychedelic medicine activist and author of The Psychedelic Origin of Religion, he is a driving force in the modern psychedelic movement. Matthew has helped many people find healing and transformation. He continues to inspire others through his writing, collaborations, and presence.    Hayulima is a psychedelic sanctuary for the people. Matthew Weintrub (@heytrub) invites you to visit for healing and transformation. As an author of The Psychedelic Origin of Religion, Matthew is one of the pioneers of the modern psychedelic movement. His passion is to heal America by asking that everyone have the right to practice their religion freely and without consequence.  “We need to restore the right to heal with God's natural medicines, the psychedelic plant medicines. And I believe when we do that, we will put this country back on a path to salvation. ” - Matt Weintrub   Key Takeaways:   Domination Government: We have reached a point where our US government is no longer honoring the right to practice religion freely. We, the people, need to uphold the US Constitution for all people. Citizens need to wake up and see that they are being distracted and misinformed. And each day, freedoms are being stripped away. It is easy to take away a right/freedom but harder to get it back.    Imagine: “Imagine all the people living for today.” A prolific writer and artist John Lennon offered one of the best prayers for the world. This song is an excellent meditation on the possibility of everyone coming together to heal and unite. Imagine: By John Lennon   Appropriation of Plant Medicine: As psychedelics become more mainstream in the Western world, it is crucial to be aware of the colonialistic mind and how it commandeers things as its own when indigenous cultures have been practicing and using the medicines for years. It is important to build alliances with chiefs from indigenous nations to respect the lineages.   The Herd of One: In many indigenous cultures, there is the mentality of what someone does to their neighbor, they do to themself. This way of life applies to healing oneself as well. The perspective is that in a healing circle, or ceremony, the individual (the herd of one) is everyone (the herd of all). Indigenous cultures believe that we heal together and make the whole world better by healing ourselves.   Sponsors and Promotions:   Caldera + Lab! - As you age, you might notice more Fine Lines, Wrinkles, and signs of Aging.

And you have western corporate media to thank for that. The Intercept released a secret Pakistan cable which documents US pressure to remove Prime Minister Imran Khan from power. That was achieved in April 2022, when Khan was ousted in a no-confidence vote. Since then, the Pakistani government has arrested Khan and banned him from the next election. Ahmad explains the consequences of the findings in the classified documents and shares one of the craziest quotes reported in the Intercept article: “All will be forgiven,” said a U.S. diplomat, “if the no-confidence vote against Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan succeeds.” So why did the US want Khan out? Because he didn't follow the rules of western imperialism. In a speech, Khan responded directly to Western demands that Pakistan rally behind Ukraine. “What do you think of us? That we are your slaves and that we will do whatever you ask of us? We are friends of Russia, and we are also friends of the United States. We are friends of China and Europe. We are not part of any alliance.” Of course, such a statement is blasphemy under US rule, so Imran Khan was swiftly taken care of. Watch the full interview with Junaid Ahmad where he explains in depth what Khan believed as leader of Pakistan, how the regime change happened, and the next steps for the imprisoned prime minister to walk free.

Being out of control of something we want to control and fix is a recipe for disaster. When we try to control things, we often react in ways that are ultimately not helpful and can be self-destructive. Much of Aaron De Smet's(@AaronDeSmet) work focuses on helping large distributed organizations to achieve growth, innovation, productivity, and organizational agility. Aaron co-authored Deliberate Calm: How to Learn and Lead in a Volatile World. He has been consulting for many years at McKinsey and in prior years at PricewaterhouseCoopers. He is also an expert on organizational design, corporate culture, and leadership development.   Aaron De Smet(@AaronDeSmet) counsels leadership teams as they transform their organizations to improve performance, organizational health, speed, and agility. He holds a P.H.D. from Columbia University, where he studied organizational psychology and business. His expertise spans several industries, including agriculture, biotechnology, chemicals, and transformational change. “The world has become so interconnected that one small thing somewhere can have surprising effects in ways we hadn't imagined”   - Aaron De Smet   Key Takeaways:   Self Awareness in Leadership: Self-awareness is a positive attribute regardless of where you are. Professionally it elevates your ability to be present and problem-solve in VUCA environments. There is always complexity when working with other people. On a team, self-awareness always helps, no matter how cognitively taxing it might be.    Defining Self-Awareness: When experts talk about self-awareness, they don't just mean the metacognition of personal understanding of what we are thinking and how we think about it. They emphasize that we need to understand that there might be potentially subconscious emotions that are sitting there that are guiding or biasing us. These unconscious drivers can actually be brought into awareness. When we merge the conscious and surface the unconscious, we are more fully self-aware and self-knowledgeable.   Changes in the Workplace: Even pre-pandemic, the desire for more flexibility regarding when and where one works was on the rise. The reasoning for “going into an office” has changed. The files, phones, and meeting place no longer have to be in one location. Also, what people see as desirable for a career in these next generations, Gen Z and beyond, has shifted.   Triggers of Grief: Grief doesn't happen only when we lose a loved one. Grieving is a process everybody goes through psychologically whenever they feel a sense of loss of something loved or cherished. This loss could be a loved one, a pet, an experience, or even a favorite restaurant closing that there was a felt emotional connection to, and the place was loved and cherished. So grief can be the loss of any loved or cherished thing.  Sponsors and Promotions:   Momentous Sleep Pack: Momentous Sleep Pack features a 30-day supply of easy-to-use tear-away packs featuring three natural ingredients that prime you for a good night's rest.
