Podcasts about Blending

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Jesse Elder for one of the most raw, unfiltered, and important conversations I've had in a long time. So many brilliant coaches struggle to build a profitable business—not because they lack skill or heart, but because the game has changed. And most people are still trying to win using a rulebook that stopped working years ago. Jesse and I get into all of it. Highlights from the Conversation • The "authenticity apocalypse" Why AI is going to wipe out every coach who's faking it—and why the real, grounded, embodied coaches will rise to the top. • Blending spiritual wisdom with strategic precision How to integrate deep inner work with the practical actions that actually grow a business. • Money as oxygen Jesse's philosophy on treating money like breath, and the wild story of what happened when he gave away millions. • The real spiritual path Why starting a business will grow you spiritually faster than sitting in a cave, doing breathwork, or reading 200 self-help books. • What humans can do that AI never will The enduring advantage we'll always have—and why coaches who understand this will dominate the next decade. A Key Insight I Share in This Episode One thing I tell my clients all the time: If you want real spiritual growth, don't go meditate in a cave. Go start a business. Because business will show you every fear, every story, every insecurity, every belief you've been avoiding… and force you to confront all of it. That's where the real transformation happens. This conversation goes deep into the mindset and energetic foundations of sustainable success—the kind where you hit your income goals and actually love your life.

EPYSODE 61: "MU" by MU. Guest: Merrell Fankhauser. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we journey into the cosmic unknown with "MU" , the cult 1971 debut album from Merrell Fankhauser's post-H.M.S. Bounty band, formed with ex-Captain Beefheart guitarist Jeff Cotton (aka Antennae Jimmy Semens). With exclusive commentary from Merrell himself, we uncover the origins of the band's name (a nod to the mythical lost continent of MU), the spiritual inspiration behind the tracks, and the band's eventual migration to Maui in search of metaphysical truth and better vibes. Blending desert blues, psychedelic folk, and exploratory jam-rock, "MU"  is a hidden gem of the early '70s underground, one that has quietly influenced generations of psych-heads, crate-diggers, and cosmic seekers. If you've ever wondered what happens when acoustic blues, psychedelia, and esoteric mysticism collide, this epysode is your portal. I hope you dig "MU" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @  ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured.

From the acclaimed author of 1177 B.C., a spellbinding account of the archaeological find that opened a window onto the vibrant diplomatic world of the ancient Near East In 1887, an Egyptian woman made an astonishing discovery among the ruins of the heretic king Akhenaten's capital city, a site now known as Amarna. She found a cache of cuneiform tablets, nearly four hundred in all, that included correspondence between the pharaohs and the mightiest powers of the day, such as the Hittites, Babylonians, and Assyrians. Love, War, and Diplomacy: The Discovery of the Amarna Letters and the Bronze Age World They Revealed (Princeton University Press, 2025) tells the story of the Amarna Letters and the dramatic world of the Bronze Age they revealed. Blending scholarly expertise with painstaking detective work, Eric Cline describes the spectacular discovery, the fierce competition among dealers and museums to acquire the tablets, and the race by British and German scholars to translate them. Dating to the middle of the fourteenth century BCE and the time of Tutankhamun's immediate predecessors, Amenhotep III and his son Akhenaten, the Amarna Letters are the only royal archive from New Kingdom Egypt known to exist. In them, we learn of royal marriages, diplomatic negotiations, gift-giving, intrigue, and declarations of brotherly love between powerful rulers as well as demands made by the petty kings in Canaan who owed allegiance to Egypt's pharaohs. A monumental achievement, Love, War, and Diplomacy transports readers to the glorious age of the Amarna Letters and the colonial era that brought them to light and reveals how the politics, posturing, and international intrigues of the ancient Near East are not so unlike today's.

Youtubehttps://beacons.ai/ellemonaeSpotifyBioElle Mona'e is an artist you may recognize without realizing it. She popularity as a Bombshell on Season 2 of Netflix's hit series Too Hot to Handle, quickly becoming a fan favorite. Since then, she has expanded into the music world to share a new and deeply passionate side of herself.Her latest single, “Land of Groove,” lives up to its name. Blending pop and dance elements with an ethereal, space-like vibe, the song invites listeners to lose themselves in its infectious rhythm. With playful, step-inspired lyrics reminiscent of timeless dance anthems, Elle creates a sound that's fun, uplifting, and perfect for all audiences.Falling in love with the production process, Elle collaborated with a songwriter who truly understood her vision. “I told him my whole vibe was fun. I wanted people of all ages to be able to dance to this. I wanted it to be a truly feel-good song,” she shares. “We bounced some ideas around, and that's how ‘Land of Groove' came to be.”Though “Land of Groove” is a re-release, Elle brings a new sense of confidence and purpose to this version. “I was proud of myself the first time I released the track,” she says. “Now I have even more confidence because I know there's an audience for it and I know how to continue giving them what they want. This time around, I'm even more excited.”While “Land of Groove” thrives in the dance-pop lane, Elle's upcoming release, “Can't Lose,” shifts toward an empowering R&B sound. As an introvert stepping into music, she's learning to share more of herself at her own pace. Her goal is to deliver a variety of genres and moods while staying true to her authentic self.Transitioning from reality TV to music hasn't been without challenges. Although her time on Too Hot to Handlebrought brand deals, event invites, and social media growth, Elle felt something was missing. “In the reality TV world, all you have to do is look good and be a good person. After a while, I wanted more. I wanted to create something that truly represented me,” she explains.That desire led her to music—and she approached it with full motivation and determination. “When you have a talent that you enjoy sharing with others and can also make a profit from it, it opens up a completely new lane for you,” she says.Before Too Hot to Handle, Elle was already making waves as the founder of The Stardust Boutique, a unisex brand specializing in zodiac-inspired apparel, jewelry, and cosmetics. Her entrepreneurial spirit shined during the pandemic when she grew her online presence and business through creativity and social media. One viral post even caught the attention of a casting agent, ultimately leading to her appearance on the show.Looking ahead, Elle plans to release an EP titled Stardust, continuing to build her music career while expanding her creative ventures. With authenticity and alignment at the core of everything she does, Elle Mona'e is entering an exciting new chapter—one filled with rhythm, confidence, and purpose.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Sandra Pinho, Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Regenerative Medicine at the University of Chicago, to explore the fascinating intersection of stem cell biology, aging, and the bone marrow niche. From her early days studying biology in Portugal to groundbreaking research in London and New York, Dr. Pinho shares her scientific journey and the mentors who shaped her career. In a conversation that begins with Halloween monsters and ends with cutting-edge aging research, we uncover how megakaryocytes—cells best known for making platelets—play surprising roles in immune regulation and the aging process. Dr. Pinho discusses how changes in these cells can influence immune balance, contribute to age-related dysfunction, and even hint at new therapeutic strategies for healthy aging. Blending curiosity, science, and a touch of the spooky, this episode offers both personal insight and a deep dive into the hidden dynamics of our "spooky skeletons."

Just when you thought our annual Shat The Movies Halloween Spooktacular was over, we've back with one more mystical mission into the macabre. Commissioner Rob is raising "Vampire Hunter D" from the '80s crypt and bracing for our darkest takes.  In this episode, voiced by Dick Ebert, Gene and Big D clash on whether the animation is delightfully nostalgic or criminally cheap. Gene asks why there's an 8-year-old wandering the post-apocalyptic countryside with a rifle; and Dick dives into the infamous shower scene. The Shat Crew also discusses why Left Hand eats dirt, what Time-Bewitching Incense actually does and who needed half-naked teen girls offering their bodies to sexually unavailable immortals.  Movie Summary:Vampire Hunter D (1985) is a cult-classic Japanese anime film set in a post-apocalyptic future where mutants, vampires, and monsters rule the night. Blending gothic horror, cyberpunk, and dark fantasy, the movie follows D, a mysterious half-human, half-vampire "dhampir" hired to rescue a young woman from the powerful vampire Count Magnus Lee. Directed by Toyoo Ashida and based on Hideyuki Kikuchi's acclaimed light novel, Vampire Hunter D is celebrated for its haunting atmosphere, striking hand-drawn animation, and groundbreaking fusion of sci-fi, horror, and anime aesthetics. A cornerstone of 1980s anime, it paved the way for darker, more adult-oriented animation like Akira and Ninja Scroll, cementing its legacy as a must-watch for fans of vampire anime and classic Japanese animation.

Blending a family takes grace—and so does blending your finances.When couples merge families, they're also merging priorities, habits, and sometimes, financial baggage. Ron Deal joins us today to show us that with honesty and a shared vision, what begins as a challenge can become a source of strength for blended families navigating both money and marriage.Ron Deal is a bestselling author, licensed marriage & family therapist, podcaster, and popular conference speaker who specializes in marriage enrichment and stepfamily education and is the co-author of The Smart Stepfamily Guide to Financial Planning: Money Management Before and After You Blend a Family. Why Honest Money Conversations MatterThere once was a man who, when his girlfriend thought he was about to propose, surprised her by asking for her credit report instead. It's a funny story—but one that reveals a serious truth. Beneath money conversations are usually heart conversations.For couples forming blended families, this truth runs even deeper. Life has already taught them that marriage isn't guaranteed, whether because of death or a divorce. That experience creates an understandable sense of caution: How deeply do I invest again? Can I trust this new relationship?Money becomes the testing ground for those questions. That's why avoiding financial conversations doesn't protect your relationship—it weakens it. Only about one in four dating or engaged couples forming a blended family ever have a serious talk about finances before they marry. The rest often underestimate what needs to be uncovered.Finances are never just about dollars and cents. They're about values, power, and security. Beneath a discussion about budgets might be an unspoken fear: Will your children be treated equally with mine? Beneath a talk about wills might be a hidden worry: Will you care for my kids if I'm gone?There was once a woman who had been remarried for 25 years—two and a half decades of life together—and she still wondered whether her husband would provide equally for her children after she passed away. The question had never been resolved. It lingered from the past, quietly shaping their relationship.When those unspoken fears remain unaddressed, they create invisible walls. Healthy couples have the courage to name them and work through them together.The Challenge of Inheritance and TrustConsider the story of Sandra and Dave, a couple who married later in life. Sandra, a divorced mother of two adult children, was asked by her new husband, Dave, to change her will and make him her sole beneficiary. To Dave, who had no children of his own, the request seemed simple and loving: We're one now—just leave everything to me, and I'll take care of your family.But Sandra hesitated. Her adult children hadn't had time to form a close bond with Dave. For her, the request stirred deep questions: How do I know that what she's set aside for her children will be honored after she's gone?This is where trust, loyalty, and belonging intersect. Financial peace in a blended family isn't achieved through documents—it's achieved through relational clarity. You can't solve financial questions until you've addressed the relational ones.Moving from Prenuptial to TogethernessSo what's the alternative? In the book, The Smart Stepfamily Guide to Financial Planning: Money Management Before and After You Blend a Family, Ron Deal, Greg Pettis, and David Edwards, introduce what they call a “Togetherness Agreement.”Think of it as a redeemed version of a prenuptial agreement. A traditional prenup is something you do to your spouse—it outlines what they won't receive if the marriage fails. But a Togetherness Agreement is something you do for your spouse. It outlines how you will lovingly and intentionally provide for one another and your families.In a Togetherness Agreement, couples prayerfully decide together:How do they care for children from prior relationshipsHow inherited or premarital assets will be handledHow responsibilities to other households or parents will be honoredAnd how they'll support one another financially in love and unityIt's not about dividing assets—it's about uniting hearts. This process builds emotional safety, which in turn builds trust. When couples feel safe, they can finally exhale, knowing they are truly invested in each other.Taking Inventory—Emotionally and FinanciallyBefore crafting any agreement, couples need to take inventory. That means both emotional and financial reflection.Ask questions like:What financial baggage or debts are we bringing in?What past wounds or fears still shape the way we view money?What are our goals—for our family, our faith, and our future?Blended families are always born out of loss—whether death, divorce, or something else. That history doesn't have to define the new relationship, but it does need to be acknowledged. Honest reflection helps couples avoid repeating old patterns and build a healthier foundation together.Every couple's situation is different, but here are key topics that should be covered in a Togetherness Agreement:Joint and separate accountsDebt and financial obligations from prior marriagesChild or spousal support payments to other householdsRetirement, insurance, and investmentsCollege, cars, and other child-related expensesCovering these topics doesn't weaken love—it strengthens it. It replaces assumptions with clarity and fear with peace.If all of this feels overwhelming, take heart. You don't have to figure it out alone. Seek wise counsel—a trusted financial planner, pastor, or Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) can help you find creative and God-honoring ways to care for your family.And above all, remember this: God's grace is sufficient for your blended family. Submit your plans to Him. Let Him guide the process. As you do, He will grow you—not only in financial wisdom, but in love, unity, and faith.When couples move from mine and yours to ours, they begin to reflect the very heart of God, who makes two one, and who calls us to love generously, even in the way we handle money.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I've been struggling with $26,000 in credit card debt that I recently disclosed to my husband. A credit consolidation company says they can negotiate it down, so I'd pay $400 every two weeks and be debt-free in four years. It sounds good, but is this a trustworthy option—or are there drawbacks I should watch out for?I have UTMA accounts for my two sons, but I am considering switching to 529 plans. I'm mainly concerned that with the UTMA, they'll gain full control of the money once they come of age. Would a 529 plan be a wiser choice?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)The Smart Stepfamily Guide to Financial Planning: Money Management Before and After You Blend a Family by Ron L.

Sheesh! The Establishment (https://establishmentbrewing.ca) (Calgary, Alberta) has built a reputation over the last few years for taking an unconventional and experimental approach to mixed culture beer—as well as many other styles—and they've brought home numerous awards to prove it. But World Beer Cup gold in 2025 in the Belgian-Style Sour Ale category may be the biggest of them all, despite its unabashedly modern approach to the blend. They're not afraid of calculated risks, and love seeing where new ideas and techniques take them, because as Foniok says, “Beer first, ask questions later.” In this episode, Foniok discusses: using advanced hop products in mixed culture beer bench-trialing potential dry hops working around the mixed culture and dealing with Pediococcus ropiness brewing with high hop loads to suppress excessive acid production blending over multiple days to challenge and ultimately verify the blend using aged hops that have moved past the cheesy stage promoting fast fermentation for Saccharomyces strains in the mixed culture blending a fermented component with almost-hazy-IPA grist hops bench testing process for improving dry hop selection And more.

In this episode of Full Disclosure, he sits down with James O'Brien to look back on the work that defined his career-and the questions that have driven him ever since.Lloyd reflects on his peripatetic naval childhood, his years at Cambridge and the realisation that comedy, not law, was his calling.

IN HONOR OF FRANKENSTEIN!! Pan's Labyrinth Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: ⁠  / thereelrejects  ⁠ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! ⁠https://www.rejectnationshop.com/⁠ With GDT's Frankenstein Netflix later this week, Tara & John are REANIMATED in order to present their Pan's Labyrinth Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Ending Explained & Spoiler Review! Tara Erickson & John Humphrey react to Pan's Labyrinth (2006), the visionary dark fantasy war drama from Guillermo del Toro (The Shape of Water, Hellboy, Crimson Peak). Blending history, mythology, and horror, this Oscar-winning masterpiece transports viewers into a world where innocence and brutality collide — a fairy tale not for children, but for the haunted souls of adults. Set in 1944 post–Civil War Spain, the story follows Ofelia (played by Ivana Baquero – The New Daughter, Black Friday), a young girl who discovers a mysterious labyrinth near her new home. There, she meets an ancient Faun (portrayed by Doug Jones – The Shape of Water, Hocus Pocus) who tasks her with completing three dangerous trials to prove she is the reincarnated princess of a magical underworld. Meanwhile, Ofelia's real world is ruled by her cruel stepfather, Captain Vidal (Sergi López – Dirty Pretty Things, With a Friend Like Harry), whose merciless campaign against local rebels mirrors the horrors of fascism. Maribel Verdú (Y Tu Mamá También, Belle Époque) plays Mercedes, a kind housekeeper secretly aiding the resistance, while Ariadna Gil (Belle Époque, Alatriste) portrays Carmen, Ofelia's fragile and ill mother. Iconic and highly searched moments include the terrifying Pale Man sequence, the chalk door escape, the toad in the tree, and Ofelia's heartbreaking final choice. With breathtaking cinematography by Guillermo Navarro and a haunting score by Javier Navarrete, Pan's Labyrinth remains a towering achievement in storytelling — a fusion of fantasy and historical realism that explores innocence, sacrifice, and the power of imagination in the face of tyranny. Winner of three Academy Awards, Pan's Labyrinth stands as one of the greatest modern films of the 21st century — a dark, beautiful masterpiece that continues to mesmerize audiences around the world.
