A recording of the book-release party for Ornery Cuss by Krystle Ratticus at Tangible Books, June 20, 2026. Readings by Nathan Hoks, Westley Heine, and the author; hosted by Dmitry Samarov.

Boys are struggling—and many parents can feel it. In this special episode, Kylie Coulson turns the tables and interviews Dr Justin Coulson about his brand-new book, Boys: Building Strong Young Men From the Inside Out. From alarming statistics about boys' education and wellbeing to the growing influence of the manosphere, Justin shares what he discovered after years of research, countless conversations, and one deeply personal loss that changed the direction of the book forever. This is a hopeful, practical conversation about what boys need most, what healthy masculinity really looks like, and how parents can help raise boys who are strong, kind, capable, and connected. KEY POINTS Why Justin felt compelled to write a book about boys The heartbreaking family experience that reshaped the book The confronting statistics every parent should know Why boys are falling behind in education The dangers—and appeal—of online male influencers Why the conversation about "toxic masculinity" isn't helping boys The power of connection over correction How positive male role models can change a boy's future What healthy masculinity actually looks like Justin's definition of a good man QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "You cannot lecture a boy into becoming a good man. Instead of trying to lecture him into it, love him into it." RESOURCES MENTIONED Boys: Building Strong Young Men From the Inside Out by Justin Coulson Happy Families Michelle Mitchell ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Prioritise connection before correction when your child is struggling. Look for opportunities to encourage your son's strengths rather than focusing only on mistakes. Be intentional about surrounding boys with positive male role models. Listen more than you lecture. Help boys develop a healthy understanding of what it means to be a good man. Remember that growth takes time—stay patient, present, and hopeful. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailMost Hollywood heartbreak stories end with the artist. I want to talk about the people who quietly absorb the real damage when a film doesn't sell: the friends who wire money, the parents who max out credit cards, the “mom and pop” backers who believe in someone they love and never get a real explanation when the dream collapses.After a personal crisis that forces me to slow down and get painfully honest, I connect what I'm seeing in my own life to what I've witnessed across 35 years in the global entertainment industry as a producer, distributor, consultant, sales agent, and financier. The passion is real. The charm is real. But the sparkle is not a business plan, and flattery is not a contract. We dig into why filmmakers can be devastated by the art while investors are left with silence, and how that imbalance keeps repeating in independent film finance.I also share why I wrote my book, Hollywood Money Traps: what every investor needs to know, as a plain-language field guide for anyone about to say yes to a pitch. We talk realistic film budgets, inflated projections, confusing distribution deals, and the questions every backer should ask to protect their money without becoming anti-artist. You'll hear why I believe the money needs the art, the art needs the money, and why both sides win when everyone finally speaks the same language.If you know someone considering a film investment, share this conversation with them, then subscribe, rate, and review the show so more backers and creators can make smarter deals together.GET YOUR COPY NOWSupport the showThanks for listening!

How much choice do we have over toxic behaviour? What makes us more authentic, or inauthentic? Do some people just not have an internal mirror to see their own behaviour?In this episode, Luke and I explore transactional mindsets, when we take situations where people could be more collaborative, and instead engage in "us vs. them" dynamics... and explore why that is.This leads us into the Inclusive and Extractive Mindsets - fancy talk for 'Givers and Takers.'

What if the key to thriving in today's fast-paced world has been around for thousands of years? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh connects with ninth-generation doctor of Eastern medicine Dr. Jenelle Kim to explore the ancient principles behind modern wellness, longevity, and true inner balance. Dr. Jenelle shares the deeply personal story behind her book, “The Korean Art of Living Well: The Eight Keys of Living Meditation for Balance and Transformation,” a work inspired by her lineage and her father's legacy. Rooted in 10,000-year-old Daoist traditions, she introduces the three pillars of optimal living: medicine, movement, and mindset. The conversation dives into how modern life creates stagnation, mentally, physically, and spiritually, and how simple practices like breathwork, grounding, and even laughter can restore flow. Dr. Jenelle explains that true wellness comes down to function and flow, and that imbalance begins when we become stuck in our thoughts. In this episode, Darius and Dr. Jenelle will discuss: (00:00) Introduction and Guest Introduction (02:57) Dr. Jenelle Kim's Journey and Book Release (05:43) The Three Pillars of Ancient Medicine (08:27) The Importance of Mindset and Meditation (11:31) Stagnation and Its Impact on Well-being (14:30) The Role of Humor and Laughter in Healing (17:26) Living Meditation and Connection to the Universe (20:17) Finding Balance in a Distracted World (22:33) Cultural Shifts Towards Mindfulness (25:25) The Eight Keys of Living Meditation (28:35) Connectedness and Honor (31:10) Overcoming Self-Deception (34:18) The Importance of Acknowledgment (40:37) Being Like Bamboo: Flexibility and Strength Dr. Jenelle Kim is a ninth-generation Doctor of Eastern Medicine, martial artist, and Taoist wellness expert.

Host John Odermatt interviews Edward Brady, a former SEC examiner with 25 years in financial oversight and author of the upcoming book “Awaken Your Financial Star.” Brady explains why people feel financially behind despite higher incomes, citing inflation and lifestyle creep, and contrasts Sylvia Bloom's $8M savings success with Warren Sapp's bankruptcy. He outlines practical steps like tracking cash flow, using employer 401(k) matches, and weighing traditional vs Roth IRAs based on future tax expectations. Brady presents his STAR framework—Savings, Time, Assets, Real returns—emphasizing time and compounding, and discusses matching asset choices to investment horizons rather than predicting crashes. He also shares fraud-defense lessons from SEC work, including skepticism, background checks, independent custodians, fiduciaries, and diversification across custodians, and concludes that financial progress is best measured by cash flow and freedom of choice.

Smith — author, wildlife photographer, and the newest inductee into the 2025 Michigan Outdoor Hall of Fame — in a conversation that spans decades of tradition, controversy, and conservation.Joining the discussion are legends who have shaped the outdoor world as we know it: the great Fred Bear, the father of modern bowhunting; outdoor media icon Mort Neff, whose Michigan Outdoors brought the wilderness into living rooms across the state; beloved conservationist and writer Tom Huggler; multi-species hunting and storytelling phenomenon Steven Rinella; and bass fishing royalty Kevin VanDam.Together, they unpack the release of Richard's latest book, a must-read for any serious hunter or naturalist. The conversation turns candid as Richard shares his deeply researched perspective on why Michigan's deer herd has been in steady decline — pointing to habitat loss, predator pressure, and management decisions that have left hunters and biologists alike sounding the alarm.Then things get controversial. Richard takes on one of the most debated topics in whitetail history: the Mitch Rompola buck — the mysterious giant that some call the greatest deer ever taken and others call one of hunting's greatest hoaxes. Richard doesn't hold back.This is the kind of episode that reminds you why you fell in love with the outdoors in the first place.

Episode Summary: Christians make up more than half of the American population, but culture is unraveling. The future of the West will not be decided by elections, but by whether the Church rises or retreats. In this episode, we're launching Occupy Till I Come with its author Darrow Miller and argue that the Great Commission includes discipling nations at the ground level of culture. The real crisis, Darrow contends, is the sacred/secular divide that has confined faith to Sundays and surrendered public life to rival worldviews.Let's recover the biblical and historical vision that once gave the West life and order. From the image of God as the foundation of dignity,  justice, and human rights to the Reformation's role in shaping our current cultures. Then we get practical: unpacking vocation as worship, hospitality as discipleship, Scripture applied to public life, and courage under pressure. This is the hour to build. To occupy. To stand with clarity and courage. History is calling. The Church must answer.Key Endorsements:“The ideas in this book built our country, and they can restore it as well.” Dr. Josh Mulvihill“This book is Darrow Miller's magnum opus. It captures the urgency of our current civilizational moment, calling for decisive choices that lead either to renewal or decline.” Nancy PearceyWho is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

In this brief episode, Mick announces the release of his new book titled A Beautiful Vision: Recovering God's Design for Our Bodies, Desires, & Sexuality.

Check out A Beautiful Vision - on sale on Amazon and available in print, eBook, and audio formats. In it, Mick explores the deeper story behind Christian sexual ethics. inviting readers to move beyond rules and reactions and into a compelling, redemptive vision for the body. Blending biblical theology, cultural critique, and pastoral wisdom, A Beautiful Vision addresses desire, what it means to be male and female, singleness, marriage, shame, and healing with honesty, hope, and grace.Connect with Mick at Mick@MickRMurray.com // feel free to share, subscribe, rate, and/or commentBackground track (licensed via Musicbed): - Dreamland by Adrian Disch
