Kaedrich Olsen is an author, speaker, and spiritual guide specializing in Norse mysticism and runic wisdom. For more than three decades, he has taught how the runes function as living intelligences, gateways for transmuting shadow, awakening the higher mind, and aligning with the powers of gods and ancestors. His lifelong path weaves together Norse studies, paranormal exploration, and shadow work. Raised in a haunted home and trained in séance and channeling, Kaedrich developed an early communion with advanced beings known as the Whisperers, granting him rare insight into the afterlife and the energetic interplay of the unseen. This foundation allows him to guide seekers through shadow work, spirit communication, and ancestral practices with both sacred depth and practical clarity. He is the author of Runes for Transformation (Red Wheel/Weiser) and has been featured on Gaia's Beyond Belief, Open Minds, Deep Space, and Ancient Civilizations, the Paraflixx Network, and leading podcasts including Aubrey Marcus, Paul Chek, Jimmy Church, and Patty Negri. Kaedrich's work invites seekers to step into the mythic current of their lives—living the wisdom of the runes, reclaiming power from the shadows, and walking in authenticity under the guidance of gods and ancestors.

In this solo episode, Darin reframes one of the most misunderstood forces in life — stress. Instead of seeing it as the enemy, he explores how stress is actually a messenger, guiding you back to alignment, safety, and awareness. Through science, spirituality, and lived experience, Darin breaks down how stress shows us where we're trying to control, where we're disconnected, and where our nervous system is calling for attention. He unpacks the layers of modern stress — from trauma and environment to community and purpose — and offers practical, embodied tools to restore calm, clarity, and resilience.     What You'll Learn 00:00:00 – Welcome to Super Life: Solutions for a Healthier Life and Better World 00:00:32 – Sponsor Spotlight: TheraSauna - Natural Healing Technologies (15% off with code Darrandai) 00:02:10 – The Super Life Podcast: Finding Contentment, Happiness, and Purpose 00:02:51 – Today's Topic: Stress - Reframing Stress as an Ally and Dashboard Light 00:04:54 – The "No Choice" Universe: Reconnecting to Infinite Possibilities 00:05:16 – The Reality of Stress: Statistics and the Impact of Chronic Stress 00:06:21 – Stress is Layered: Beyond a Single Cause, Addressing Chronic Stress 00:08:29 – Solutions for a Super Life: Safety over Calm and the Vagal Response 00:09:38 – The Inner Dialogue Layer: Trauma, Unconsciousness, and Spiritual Bypassing 00:11:47 – The Social Field Layer: Relationships, Community, and Finding Your Way Home 00:14:20 – Sponsor Spotlight: Bite Toothpaste - Sustainable, Non-Toxic Tabs (20% off with code Darin20) 00:16:35 – Creating Your Own Vision: Setting Boundaries with Media and Social Algorithms 00:17:29 – Finding Your Purpose: From Raising Children to Healing Injuries 00:18:35 – Environmental and Existential Stress Layers: Clutter, Noise, and Service 00:19:26 – Stress Load and Resiliency: Why Small Triggers Cause Blow-Ups 00:20:02 – Understanding the Dashboard Light: Acknowledging Unwillingness 00:20:35 – Safety as the Signal: Body Relaxation and Providing Inner Security 00:23:44 – Reframing Trauma: Was it the Protector You Needed at the Time? 00:25:00 – Releasing Trauma: Techniques, The Healing Code, and Waking the Tiger 00:26:06 – Finishing the Survival Response: Shaking, Crying, Screaming, and Stretching 00:26:38 – Stress as a Multiplier: Impact on Immune System, Heart, and Aging 00:28:10 – Stress Slows Repair: Inflammation, Cardiovascular Risk, and Cellular Aging 00:29:48 – The Integrative Approach: Changing Your Environments to Support Anti-Stress 00:30:07 – Actionable Stress Solutions: Circadian Rhythm, Nature, and Noise Reduction 00:30:44 – Actionable Stress Solutions: Gratitude, Conscious Breath, and Movement 00:31:32 – Energy Drains to Eliminate: Conflict, Clutter, Scrolling, and Late Caffeine 00:32:17 – Connecting to Greater Purpose: The Super Life Patreon Platform 00:32:54 – Morning/Night Questions: Letting Go, Creating, and Contributing 00:33:17 – Final Toolkit: Slow Breathing, Movement, Nature, Sauna, and Sleep 00:34:25 – The Invitation: Digging into all Layers of a Super Life on Patreon   Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.

Can two of the world's most unpredictable leaders find common ground? Can Donald Trump and Xi Jinping reset the world's most pivotal relationship, or are the U.S. and China destined for deeper division? Host Jack Russo and futurist David Nash unpack the fragile dynamics shaping this high-stakes rivalry, from China's spiraling debt and demographic headwinds to Trump's deal-driven approach and America's shifting global stance. As they explore whether economic pragmatism can overcome political pride, one question looms large: will the next chapter bring renewed cooperation, or mark the start of a new Cold War? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/10/26/trump-china-trade-deal/  Will Trump TACO Taiwan?    Jack Russo Managing Partner Jrusso@computerlaw.com www.computerlaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackrusso "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️  

Draw your destiny into being! Discover the intersection between creativity and manifestation, backed by neuroscience, in this inspiring new art form that allows you to claim the life you desire as you co-create with the Universe. The Art of Manifesting Method™, created by Colette Baron-Reid and Anna Denning, harnesses the extraordinary power of intentional art to rewire your brain, break old patterns, and align your mind and intentions with the energy of the Universe. No special skills or tools required! Through the AM Method, manifesting can be as easy, peaceful, and joyful as drawing a circle and lots of flowy lines. All you need is a pen, a piece of paper, and your imagination to begin to co-create a life beyond your wildest dreams. The Universe will do the rest through the power of synchronicity. With the Seven Steps of Manifestation, you actively carve out new neural pathways by repeatedly engaging in meaningful, intentional thoughts and actions. This creates deep, authentic shifts within you that are then reflected in your outer world. The gentle, seven-week guide allows you to thoroughly understand and connect with each step through guided drawings (including example illustrations) as well as supportive practices like meditation and journaling. Through the AM Method, you will tap into the infinite potential of the quantum field and realize that you are the shaper of your destiny, not just the one being shaped.

Today we're diving into one of the most tender and complex stages of parenting—launching our neurodivergent young adults into independence, or more accurately, interdependence. My guest is Penny Williams, a parenting coach for neurodiverse families and the award-winning author of four books on ADHD, including Boy Without Instructions. In this episode Penny and I talk about the emotional challenges parents face during this transition, how to redefine what success and independence really look like, and why interdependence is often the goal that best supports our kids' thriving. We also explore the healing and acceptance this stage asks of us as parents—and how, even in the uncertainty, there's so much possibility for connection, growth, and joy. Also, this is part one of a two-part episode — listen to the rest of the conversation on Penny's Beautifully Complex podcast, which you will find here.  About Penny Williams A parenting coach for neurodiverse families, Penny Williams is the award-winning author of four books on ADHD, including Boy Without Instructions, producer and host of the Beautifully Complex Podcast, host of the annual Neurodiversity Summits, and co-creator of The Behavior Revolution Program, a parent training program designed to change the narrative on behavior and help parents celebrate and support their kids with ADHD or autism through neuroscience-backed insights, hard-won strategies, compassion, and guidance.  Penny empowers parents to help their neurodivergent kids — and families — thrive. Things you'll learn from this episode How parenting neurodivergent young adults can be both deeply complex and emotionally challenging Why redefining success for each individual young adult is key to healthier expectations How healing from our own experiences allows us to better support our kid's growth Why aiming for interdependence and self-determination, not independence, leads to greater emotional stability How launching into adulthood is often messy, nonlinear, and filled with opportunities for growth Why letting go of control, staying curious, and remaining open are essential during this phase of parenting Resources mentioned Penny Williams' Parenting ADHD and Autism website Beautifully Complex Podcast Part 2 of this conversation Meghan Ashburn and Jules Edwards on Autistic Adults, Autism Parents, and the Children Who Deserve a Better World (Tilt Parenting Podcast) I Will Die on This Hill: Autistic Adults, Autism Parents, and the Children Who Deserve a Better World by Meghan Ashburn and Jules Edwards Dr.Dan Peters Discusses the Teen Years & Preparing for Navigating Launch (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Best Gap Year Programs for Neurodivergent Students (Thrive Autism Coaching) Dr Eric Endlich on Gap Programs for Neurodivergent Students (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Gap Programs Debbie Explored Gap at Glen Brook Parzival Academy Pure Life Adventure Program SOAR Sequin Land Institute   Learn more about your ad choices.

Can artificial intelligence outsmart the patent lawyer? Host Jack Russo sits down with veteran patent prosecutor, Greg Smith, Esq., to tackle that very question. They explore how tools like ChatGPT are shaking up trademark filings, patent drafting, and the entire legal workflow. Greg shares stories from the trenches of the U.S. Patent Office and why AI may empower a new generation of DIY inventors. Jack introduces his latest innovation, a "human potential dashboard" that turns wearable data into a blueprint for better performance. Along the way, they unpack the risks of automation, the rise of self-taught creators, and the shifting line between human insight and machine intelligence. This episode pulls back the curtain on how AI is rewriting the rules of invention, ownership, and the practice of law itself.   Jack Russo Managing Partner Jrusso@computerlaw.com www.computerlaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackrusso "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️

Kaedrich Olsen is an author, speaker, and spiritual guide specializing in Norse mysticism and runic wisdom. For more than three decades, he has taught how the runes function as living intelligences, gateways for transmuting shadow, awakening the higher mind, and aligning with the powers of gods and ancestors. His lifelong path weaves together Norse studies, paranormal exploration, and shadow work. Raised in a haunted home and trained in séance and channeling, Kaedrich developed an early communion with advanced beings known as the Whisperers, granting him rare insight into the afterlife and the energetic interplay of the unseen. This foundation allows him to guide seekers through shadow work, spirit communication, and ancestral practices with both sacred depth and practical clarity. He is the author of Runes for Transformation (Red Wheel/Weiser) and has been featured on Gaia's Beyond Belief, Open Minds, Deep Space, and AncientCivilizations, the Paraflixx Network, and leading podcasts including Aubrey Marcus, Paul Chek, Jimmy Church, and Patty Negri. Kaedrich's work invites seekers to step into the mythic current of their lives—living the wisdom of the runes, reclaiming power from the shadows, and walking in authenticity under the guidance of gods and ancestors.

What does it mean to live life fully — without any unfinished business? Today's guest, Diane Button, knows the answer. As a compassionate end-of-life doula and author of What Matters Most: Lessons the Dying Teach Us About Living, she's spent years walking beside people at the end of life — and she's learned lessons that help all of us live more fully right now. In this podcast conversation, Diane shares what she's learned about forgiveness, gratitude and legacy — and how each of us can create peace long before the final chapter. You'll hear touching stories of regret, reconciliation, and joy — including how one man's “joy counter” became a simple but profound reminder to notice beauty in everyday moments. If you've ever wondered how to live more intentionally, strengthen your relationships, and make sure nothing important is left unsaid — this episode will move you, inspire you, and change how you think about how you want to use your time.

In the final chapter of The Scarcity Trap, we ask the most important question: Now that we know the psychology, what do we do? Host Danny argues that for decades, anti-poverty efforts have suffered from a massive "psychological blind spot," often creating systems that tax bandwidth and erode dignity. This episode lays out a new vision for building solutions, centered on three core principles of "Designing for Dignity": Free Bandwidth, Don't Tax It: The revolutionary psychological impact of unconditional cash transfers and why trusting people with money is so effective. Build On-Ramps, Not Obstacle Courses: The importance of simplicity and removing the "administrative burdens" that prevent people from accessing the help they need. Foster Connection, Don't Isolate: Why the most successful programs are those that intentionally build social capital and community support. We conclude the series with a powerful call to shift our perspective from one of judgment to one of empathy and understanding, armed with the scientific knowledge to build a more compassionate and effective world.

We're often told to fight poverty because it's the "right" thing to do. It is. But what if it's also the "smartest" thing to do for our own economic future? Poverty isn't just a problem for the poor; it's a massive drag on the entire economy. It wastes human potential, strains public services, and stifles innovation. Our latest article makes the pragmatic, economic case for ending poverty. It's not about taking from a fixed pie; it's about growing the whole pie so there's more for everyone. It's time to move from sympathy to solidarity.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we calculate chance, and how we fool ourselves with it. In this episode, Jack Russo talks with Stanford's Professor Sam Savage, the mind behind Probability Management, about the hidden math driving our biggest decisions. From budget-airline safety stats to coffee-cancer myths and courtroom data battles, they expose how flawed models warp policy and perception. Sam reveals how “auditable uncertainty” and stochastic data could make AI not just faster, but wiser, turning probability into the next great language of power in law, medicine, and beyond.   Jack Russo Managing Partner Jrusso@computerlaw.com www.computerlaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackrusso "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️

Be More Kind Music and lyrics by Frank Turner History's been leaning on me lately. I can feel the future breathing down my neck. And all the things I thought were true When I was young, and you were too Turned out to be broken, And I don't know what comes next. In a world that has decided That it's going to lose its mind – Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind They've started raising walls around the world now Like hackles raised upon a cornered cat. On the borders, in our heads, Between things that can and can't be said, We've stopped talking to each other And there's something wrong with that. So before you go out searching Don't decide what you will find – Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind. You should know you're not alone. And trouble comes, and trouble goes. How this ends, no one knows. So hold on tight when the wind blows. The wind blew both of us to sand and sea, And where the dry land stands is hard to say. As the current drags us by the shore, We can no longer say for sure Who's drowning, or if they can be saved. And when you're out there floundering Like a lighthouse we will shine – Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind. Like a beacon reaching out To you and yours from me and mine – Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind In a world that has decided That it's going to lose its mind – Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind Follow Holy Shed on Facebook; https://www.facebook.com/theholyshed/ Support Holy Shed on Ko-fi; https://ko-fi.com/holyshed follow Dave on https://facebook.com/dave.tomlinson.925/ follow Dave on https://instagram.com/bad_christian/Go

In this episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo welcomes SC Moatti, CEO of Mighty Capital and author of Mobilized, for a deep dive into how venture capital must adapt to the realities of a post-AI economy. Moatti explains how artificial intelligence is extending human capability across mind, body, and spirit, creating a new generation of “invisible products” that anticipate user needs without direct interaction. She and Jack explore the evolution of entrepreneurship from mentorship-driven beginnings to today's data-fueled, capital-efficient startups, and how VCs can stay relevant amid these rapid shifts. Moatti shares insights from scaling Mighty Capital toward a billion under management, the rise of AI-powered deal flow, and why education, authenticity, and adaptability will determine which investors (and which ideas) will survive the next decade of innovation. https://a.co/d/hsWXKLy https://mighty.capital/   Jack Russo Managing Partner Jrusso@computerlaw.com www.computerlaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackrusso "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️    

When the film The Matrix hit theatres in 1999, the basic plot of humanity being hijacked into a false reality struck a chord. Many people back then sensed something wasn't quite right with the world—that "something else" was going on. Today, many researchers and professional journalists, from Tucker Carlson to Naomi Wolf, are proving peoples' instincts right, exposing the staggering depth and complexity of the assault on humanity and our basic freedoms—from COVID to Deep State corruption to AI to social credit scores to the endless wars in the Middle East, etc. So far few have realized there is something behind the conspiracy theories and the corrupt men and women involved in them. There is another layer to humanity's alarming trajectory that must be exposed before it can be fully understood, halted, and reversed. The source and nature of the matrix goes far deeper than greed and madness. For thousands of years, every culture on Earth has described a hostile, invisible intelligence bedeviling humanity, dragging us down. The ancient Greeks called this influence the Archons—malevolent beings controlling people's thoughts, feelings and actions. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung called this invisible force “antimimos, the imitator and evil principle,” equating it with the Antichrist. Native American tribes call these beings wetiko and windingo. Christianity and the well-oiled entertainment industry have unwittingly (or otherwise) trivialized this parasitic intelligence in its depiction of Satan or the devil. Cracking the Matrix: 14 Keys to Individual & Global Freedom is designed to help people finally see this ancient, interdimensional force, understand its agenda, recognize its blatant presence behind globalist machinations and events, learn how to break free of its controlling influences and stand up in their true power and create the New Heaven and the New Earth. CATE MONTANA is a professional journalist specializing in the fields of psychology, spirituality, consciousness, alternative medicine and health. Cate Montana has written several very different books: An exposé on social sexual manipulation, Gender, Patriarchy& Sexual Mind Control: Breaking Free; a thorough explanation of the ego and the conscious state called "enlightenment," The E Word, Ego Enlightenment & Other Essentials [Atria2017]l; a feminist memoir, Unearthing Venus: My Search for the Woman Within [Watkins2013], and a spiritual novel, Apollo & Me [Rampant Feline Media 2019]. She is the co-author of The Heart of the Matter with Dr. Darren Weissman [Hay House 2013], and Ghetto Physics: Redefining the Game, co-written with William Arntz [Lord of the Wind Press 2012]. Cate speaks and teaches about consciousness, ego development, spirituality and the nature of interdimensional influences. www.catemontana.comcmontana.substack.com

Much of the world around us—our workplaces, products, and public spaces—was never designed with everyone in mind. That oversight can create barriers, limit performance, and even put people at risk. But when ergonomics meets universal design, inclusion becomes innovation.In this episode of Problem Solved: The IISE Podcast, we hear from two leading voices in human factors and ergonomics: Bobbie Watts, past president of IISE's Applied Ergonomics Society, and Anuja Patil, current president and risk control director at CNA Insurance.Together, they unpack how universal design principles are reshaping the way we work, build, and live—from accessible workplaces and flexible production lines to AI-powered safety systems and healthcare environments designed for all.

Listen to Rabbi Jenna's 5786 Kol Nidre sermon on the power of imagination, delivered on October 2, 2025. 

In this week's episode, we dig into the paradox at the heart of the spiritual path: how to surrender to life's unfolding while still staying fiercely committed to your dreams.This conversation was sparked by a listener question that felt so alive for both of us right now:"Hello universe. I keep circling around the same dilemma. How do I balance surrender with my own will and desires? I have clear dreams for my life and business, and I feel called to pursue them, but how do I know when I'm gripping too tightly in control versus when I'm actually being asked to stay committed and persevered despite the obstacles? Sometimes devotion and discipline feel like the opposite of surrender. How do I weave them together? Signed God, take the wheel, but not my dreams."We get real about:The subtle difference between devotion and self-abandonmentWhy “should” is almost always a red flag that you're forcingLearning to trust life moment by moment (even when things fall apart)How attachment to a specific outcome often masks the deeper desire underneathFinding the wisdom inside the “gripping” without bypassing or bulldozing over itAlong the way, you'll hear stories about our own messy edges with business, health, parenting, and money—and how the practice of surrender meets the daily reality of deadlines, big goals, and longing for stability.✨ If you've ever wondered how to trust life without losing sight of your dreams, this episode is for you.A Gentle & Fierce Path Forward: A Workbook for Staying Present, Committed and Resourced in Times of Crisishttps://portal.kyleycaldwell.com/gentle-fierce-workbookEvaSign up for Awakening for FREEhttps://dogged-trailblazer-8821.kit.com/756fe8553dEva's instagram: @iamevaliaoBook a discovery call with EvaKyleySign up for upcoming FREE  Workshop - Torchbearer: Build a Business That Builds a Better World https://portal.kyleycaldwell.com/torchbearer-workshopKyley's Instagram: @kyleycaldwellKyley's free mini-course
