Behavioral scientist Jon Levy, author of Team Intelligence: How Brilliant Leaders Unlock Collective Genius, joins to talk about why he collects astronauts, Olympians, and other outliers for secret salons—and what they've taught him about trust and connection. He explains why status isn't the same as popularity, how our networks quietly determine our habits and fortunes, and why so-called "authentic" leaders are really just people who match our prewritten narratives. Plus, a Spiel on a government shutdown that changed very little in the real world beyond making everyone mad at Washington and Democrats mad at each other. Also: the "Bono, Lead Singer of U2 Disorder," museum "wayfinding," and one New York Times rice recipe that produced enough leftovers to feed six FTEs.

The federal government inches towards reopening as five Democratic senators signal they will join Republicans in passing legislation to fund the government. SNAP benefits were in question during the shutdown– how can Christians think about the role of the federal government in providing food assistance? And we haven't heard much in the news about Iran recently; what's going on there? Mike Cosper and Clarissa Moll discuss these headlines, and Clarissa talks with Sara Billups about how to address anxiety through embodied, spiritual practices.

In this two-part episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan Rittenhouse and Cameron McAllister dive deep into the fascinating idea of being “crypto-religious”—a term coined by Polish poet Czesław Miłosz and revived in Paul Elie's new book The Last Supper. Together, Nathan and Cameron explore how artists like Bob Dylan, Madonna, Prince, Bono, and Andy Warhol used religious imagery while keeping their personal beliefs ambiguous, inviting audiences to wrestle with questions of faith in a post-Christian world. Through thoughtful theological and cultural analysis, they examine whether “crypto-religiosity” can still exist today amid political polarization and spiritual confusion. This rich, intellectually honest discussion invites Christians to think deeply about hidden belief, creative expression, and how faith continues to shape modern culture.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.
The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption doesn't treat partnerships as a side project—they're the operating system. During this National Adoption Month and in this Nonprofit Power Week kickoff, Senior VP Jill Crumbacher shares how the Foundation builds relationships that move from a good idea to real results. Step one: align the people doing the work. “Our marketing and our development practice is under one department that I lead,” Jill explains. That single team design means awareness and revenue aren't competing—they're collaborating—so a PSA, a billboard, a direct-mail test, or an influencer post can ladder up to the same mission outcome.Jill dismantles the common myth that Wendy's alone funds the mission. Wendy's is a long-standing, values-matched partner, but the need—kids and teens waiting for family in the U.S. and Canada—calls for many hands. That's why DTFA manages a wide mix of partners each year: micro-influencers and media outlets, cause-aligned brands, and fundraising collaborators. To keep everything clear and friendly, they start with the right agreement for the moment—an approachable MOU for brand exchanges and content support; a fuller contract when dollars or large placements are involved. The paperwork isn't red tape—it's a map. Who does what, by when, with what approvals. Everyone can move faster because expectations are written down.Media is changing, and the Foundation adapts. Donated placements are still vital (think PSAs across billboards, airports, radio, and connected TV). But there's also a growing middle lane Jill calls “low bono”—discounted inventory that isn't free but is far below market. The team buys when the data says it's smart, especially in digital, and pairs that with donated reach for scale.Brand care is a shared responsibility. The Foundation reviews language and usage to protect its name and the Wendy's connection. If something flares online, they pick up the phone so partners aren't blindsided. That builds trust, and trust keeps doors open. Multi-year deals? They're great when they make sense, but Jill's team prefers to earn renewal through value rather than lock people in. The relationship stays fresh because both sides want to come back.Maybe the most refreshing part is Jill's take on celebrity. The organization has tested it; the results weren't lasting. The real wins come from people and brands who show up because they truly care. As Jill puts it, “You go further with the ones that are organic… when you're all in it about the mission.” Those partners bring energy, introduce new allies, and help the message travel farther.If you're rethinking how your organization shows up with partners—how you set expectations, share brand space, blend donated and paid reach, and keep everyone rowing in the same direction—this conversation is a ready-to-use roadmap for doing it well, and doing it together.#TheNonprofitShow #AdoptionMatters #NonprofitPartnershipsFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

The German legend talks about the state of modern trance, what it takes to create a legacy and writing his most recent album.Poll the average dance music fan and they'll have almost certainly heard of Paul van Dyk. The German DJ and producer is so synonymous with trance that it's impossible to talk about the genre's history without mentioning his name. He's also been one of the most successful electronic artists full-stop since the '90s, when he first started touring around Berlin. His 1994 hit "For an Angel" launched him into the limelight, and he's been selling out clubs and arenas ever since.In this RA Exchange recorded at the Berlin Synth Museum, he reflected on the current state of trance and how its modern DJs are missing the mark; his lifelong engagement with politics and his efforts to enlist Americans to vote alongside Bono; his experience growing up in East Berlin; and a life-threatening accident he suffered at a festival in Utrecht, which left him with multiple spine and brain injuries. He said the experience taught him to cherish every part of life, and that love is the greatest and most healing power that exists.Van Dyk's most recent album is called This World is Ours, and in this conversation he unpacks the accompanying tour and some of the key themes that run through the tracks—namely, the rise of AI and our need to unite in the face of a non-human ruling elite.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Moya Brennan — the unmistakable voice of Clannad, often hailed as the First Lady of Celtic Music. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Clannad's landmark 1985 album Macalla — a record that bridged ancient Celtic roots with modern pop and ambient textures. Produced by Steve Nye (Japan, David Sylvian) and recorded across Dublin, Surrey, and Switzerland, Macalla captured the moment when Irish music stepped confidently onto the global stage — featuring the iconic duet with Bono, In a Lifetime. In this conversation, Moya looks back on the creative and spiritual journey behind Macalla — from the evolving sound that carried Clannad from Donegal's Irish-speaking Gaeltacht region to worldwide acclaim, to the energy of recording during a golden era for Irish music, with U2 at Live Aid and the world discovering Celtic voices anew. She recalls the "lightning in a bottle" studio sessions with Bono and explores the deeper sense of faith, family, and identity that continues to echo through her work. "If Macalla helps someone feel something, even for a moment — that's what it was meant for." – Moya Brennan Moya also reflects on Clannad's role in reshaping how Irish music was seen around the world, and the blending of Gaelic language and modern production that became their signature sound. She discusses how her collaborations have taken her voice from folk stages to global dance floors — most famously with Chicane on Saltwater — and the enduring power of songs such as Closer to Your Heart, Buachaill Ón Éirne, Caisleán Óir, Almost Seems (Too Late to Turn), The Wild Cry, and Journey's End to connect generations. Listen to the full episode and join Moya Brennan as she reflects on 40 years of Macalla — the memories, the music, and the lasting echo of Clannad's legacy.

Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:00] - Intro [01:23] - Dr. Subra's flagship program: C.O.C.P. [05:17] - Use of mind mapping across the world [07:11] - Impact of Dr. Subra's relationships on her business [12:42] - Dr. Subra's definition of success [14:45] - Becoming a TEDx speaker [17:47] - Traits of a great leader [19:25] - How she invests in her growth [20:58] - Legacy that Dr. Subra wants to leave behind [21:55] - How to connect with Dr. Subra [22:37] - Dr. Subra's upcoming book [26:21] - Books and podcasts recommendation [29:00] - Closing thoughts NOTABLE QUOTES: “Mind mapping is not just the diagram; that is only the final output. It's the process you take to reach that final output that automatically boosts your creativity.” “If the relationships are not good at home, it shows up in different aspects of life.” “Some of the best leaders I have met in my life are the ones who have created space for others to grow. They are the ones who are very empathetic and have excellent listening skills.” “If I can do it, anybody can do it. Actually, it's nothing different. So if we have dreams and aspirations, we should go for them.” “Success and failure are just like passing clouds. One day, you feel very successful, you're on top of the world, and it lasts only for a few minutes or hours, maybe until the celebration is over. Then the next challenge comes, and that's how our life has been all throughout.” “I'm grateful for this life.

Durante este tiempo, reconocemos el compromiso continuo de nuestros estudiantes, miembros del personal y socios comunitarios para mantener entornos de aprendizaje seguros y de apoyo en todo el Distrito Escolar de Hillsboro.La base de nuestros esfuerzos por garantizar la seguridad física se estableció a través del Bono de 2017, que destinó aproximadamente $21.6 millones en infraestructura crítica de seguridad para todo el distrito. Esta inversión permitió establecer niveles consistentes de protección en todos los planteles mediante vestíbulos de entrada segura, cercas mejoradas, película transparente de seguridad para las ventanas y el sistema triple de seguridad del distrito, el cual incluye control de acceso, alarmas de intrusión y sistemas de videovigilancia.Actualmente, HSD sigue fortaleciendo su enfoque de seguridad escolar mediante la reevaluación continua de sus sistemas, procesos de capacitación y colaboraciones estratégicas, con el objetivo de anticiparse a los desafíos emergentes. Nuestro enfoque se basa en la prevención más que en la reacción; fortaleciendo la colaboración con agencias de seguridad pública, mejorando la preparación de los miembros del personal y garantizando que las medidas de seguridad física y conductual se complementen para apoyar un entorno de aprendizaje seguro.En conjunto, estos niveles de prevención, preparación y respuesta ayudan a garantizar que cada escuela de HSD siga siendo un lugar donde los estudiantes y los miembros del personal se sientan seguros, valorados y listos para aprender.Obtenga más información sobre el enfoque integral en la seguridad de HSD en hsd.k12.or.us/keepingstudentssafe y hsd.k12.or.us/safeandwelcoming.Nuestro estudiante destacado es Andy Alonso García, estudiante de octavo grado de la Escuela Secundaria Poynter. Es el único estudiante en Oregón que ha recibido una beca a través del prestigioso Programa de Becas Juveniles de la Fundación Jack Kent Cooke, el cual ofrece mentoría y acceso a oportunidades educativas rigurosas durante el resto de su trayectoria en la escuela secundaria y preparatoria. El mentor de Andy, quien reside en Virginia, viajó a Oregón en septiembre para recorrer Poynter y conocer a Andy, su familia y sus maestros. En noviembre, Andy viajará a Virginia para visitar las instalaciones de la fundación y conocer más sobre el programa en el que participará a partir del próximo verano. Andy expresó estar muy contento de haber recibido la beca. Actualmente está interesado en convertirse en ingeniero aeroespacial o civil. ¡Bien hecho, Andy! ¡Nos haces sentir orgullosos de ser HSD!La publicación de Noticias de la Semana se elabora y se envía por correo electrónico a las familias y a los miembros del personal de HSD cada semana durante el año escolar. Por favor, agregue esta dirección de correo electrónico a su lista de «remitentes seguros» para asegurarse de recibir siempre la publicación más reciente.

Contemplating Mindfulness at Work: An Integrative ReviewIn this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer and his colleagues explore the growing impact of mindfulness in the workplace. As organizations like Google, Aetna, and the U.S. Army integrate mindfulness programs, research is uncovering how mindfulness enhances attention, emotional regulation, decision-making, and resilience. This study presents a comprehensive framework linking mindfulness to key workplace outcomes, including performance, leadership, teamwork, and employee well-being. Whether you're a leader, employee, or researcher, tune in to discover how mindfulness is reshaping the way we work, manage stress, and cultivate healthier workplace cultures.Full Reference:Good, D.

Much of the material in this podcast is related to Grant Cameron's books Tuned-In, Inspiration, Contact Modalities, and Paranormal Music.Podcast Description: The Download: Where Truly Great Ideas Come FromWhere do our most brilliant, game-changing ideas actually come from? We like to believe they're the product of our own hard work and genius, but what if the greatest breakthroughs in history—from timeless songs to world-changing inventions—aren't created, but received?In this episode, we dive into the mysterious source of creativity, exploring the compelling theory that the human brain is less an originator and more a sophisticated receiver, tuning into ideas that already exist in a non-local field of consciousness. We trace the history of this concept, from the muses of ancient Greece and Socrates' guiding “demon,” to the pivotal Renaissance shift where we stopped having a genius and started being one. This ego-centric view, we argue, might be the very thing blocking the signal.Through stunning, firsthand accounts, we explore the evidence:Paul McCartney waking with the fully-formed melody of “Yesterday” in his head, convinced it was a memory, not an original creation.Bono dreaming a complete song that sounded like Roy Orbison, only for Orbison to unexpectedly appear and ask for a new track.The Guess Who spontaneously channeling their hit “American Woman” in a live jam, unaware they were even creating a song.Nikola Tesla visualizing his complex inventions in perfect, minute detail before building a single prototype.We then investigate the mechanism: how does the brain act as a receiver? The key seems to be silencing the analytical, self-doubting ego. We examine the power of the hypnagogic state between sleep and waking, the disciplined receptivity of deep meditation as practiced by Carlos Santana, and even shocking scientific evidence where temporarily inhibiting the brain's left hemisphere can unlock savant-like abilities.Finally, we meet the modern creators who maintain active relationships with their non-physical guides, from Joni Mitchell and her muse, “Art,” to the extraordinary case of Rosemary Brown, a housewife with no musical training who channeled new compositions from deceased masters like Liszt and Beethoven.This journey challenges our deepest assumptions about originality, ownership, and the very nature of creativity itself. If the best ideas are downloads, then the creator's real work is not to struggle, but to become a clear, quiet, and receptive vessel. Join us as we learn how to quiet the noise and tune in.Grant Cameron Websitewww.presidentialufo.org
