    The Grand Duke's life is in danger, and the telegraph wire has been cut. Who can carry a dispatch from the Czar across revolutionary Siberia in time to warn him?  Jules Verne, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.   Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening.   Let's talk about ads. Now, most podcasts offer a subscription where you can pay $10 or so a month, and you get to listen to their show with no ads, and get a few bonus episodes. Here's the thing – this largely goes to benefit the podcast platforms. The actual creators don't get much.   So, I created a better plan. For $9.99 per month, you get unlimited downloadable and streamable access to the entire Classic Tales Library. I've been building this for 18 years. This gives you access to longer books that wouldn't work in the podcast format. Books like Nicholas Nickleby, Moby Dick, or Plutarch's Lives. Only about a quarter of the books in the library were released through the podcast. So you can instantly download and listen to whatever you want, all the time. This is the Audiobook Library Card.   Go to audiobooklibrarycard.com or follow the link in the show notes, and download and listen all you want.   Today's story is the first in an episodic release of the novel Michael Strogoff, by Jules Verne. I don't know about you, but my favorite Jules Verne novel might be Around the World in 80 Days. Michael Strogoff is similarly commissioned with a race against time, but the story is placed in Czarist Russia, and is essentially a spy novel. This first episode is kind of a lot to set up, but once we get going – hold on tight!     And now, Michael Strogoff, Part 1 of 9, by Jules Verne     Follow this link to get The Audiobook Library Card for a special price of $6.99/month       Follow this link to subscribe to our YouTube Channel:       Follow this link to subscribe to the Arsène Lupin Podcast:     Follow this link to follow us on Instagram:     Follow this link to follow us on Facebook:

    Patrick welcomes a brand new year by sharing heartwarming updates about his family, including the growing number of grandchildren. He fields real-life listener questions about Catholic teaching on end-of-life decisions, prayer practices even in the midst of mortal sin, and the challenge of keeping interfaith friendships respectful without watering down the faith. Books, practical steps for spiritual growth, the meaning behind Marian prayers, and honest encouragement flow easily, blending candid wisdom with Patrick’s signature warmth.

    High performance leadership often creates decision fatigue and burnout in real time. In this episode, Julie Holly explores why leadership must change in the body before it changes in behavior — and how presence restores authority without urgency.For high-capacity humans, leadership rarely fails because of a lack of insight.It falters in the moment.You understand burnout recovery.You recognize over-functioning.You know something about identity misalignment and decision fatigue.And yet — in the meeting, the silence, the moment all eyes turn toward you — your body steps in before your values do.This episode names what's been missing from most leadership conversations: leadership changes in the nervous system before it changes in behavior.If your body doesn't feel safe letting go, you will keep carrying responsibility internally — even when you're supported, capable, and exhausted by the cost.Julie explores why this tension is especially present for leaders in career or life transition, where the old pressure-driven identity no longer fits, but the nervous system hasn't yet learned how to trust a new way of leading.You'll hear how over-functioning is not a character flaw or discipline issue — but a learned survival response tied to belonging, safety, and identity drift.This episode also highlights a powerful cultural mirror in Keanu Reeves, whose authority is marked not by urgency or dominance, but by steadiness, restraint, and identity integrity. His presence offers living proof that respect does not require intensity — it requires alignment.This is not about doing less.It's about leading from presence — in real time.Because nothing meaningful is lost when you stop carrying leadership in your nervous system — except what was never meant to be there.Today's Micro RecalibrationWhen guilt or urgency arises, pause and ask:What does my body believe will happen if I don't step in right now?What is actually true in this moment?Then offer your nervous system proof of safety:Drop your shoulders.Lengthen your exhale.Feel your feet.Leadership begins to change the moment your body trusts it can.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

    The Only Technique For Book Distribution: Be Happy | SB 1.2.22 | HG Vaisesika Dasa | 25 Dec 2025

    One of the great joys of book distribution is distributing a book, and then a moment later, watching somebody pensively reading it. Have you ever seen that? Has anybody ever seen that? How many have really seen it? Raise your hand. It's nice right?. In the airport where we distributed books, sometimes person would buy a book, and then they'd sit down on the bench because they're waiting for a plane, and they would open the book, start reading it. I would sneak behind them and look to see what they're reading, because I was thinking, what are they getting out of this? Where are they reading from that book? So this is the impetus. HH Gopāl Kṛṣṇa Mahārāja in the very beginning of his promoting book distribution, thought to open a display at a bookstore, and he made a great arrangement for it. It was a campaign for a month that was advertised, money was spent, and afterwards he went to Prabhupāda and reported that it wasn't very successful. Prabhupāda said that is because books are distributed by the enthusiasm of my disciples, enthusiasm, joy—mudā, that sense of 'I'm so happy, I want to give this to other people.' In fact, there's no technique for book distribution, so don't even ask me, because the only technique is to be happy. If you feel happy, then people are going to want what you have. If they look at you and they say, you know, this person looks happy, then they'll say, "Well, what do you have? What can you give me?" In fact, I had a stint in Chicago O'Hare Airport. It was the second most busy airport on the planet during the years that I was able to distribute books inside that airport. Number one was Hatfield in Atlanta. I don't know what was happening in Delhi, but not as much as now, and definitely not Dum Dum. But in any case, I remember being so happy. Having maṅgala-ārati in the temple, the kīrtans were such that everyone was dancing. And then we would have japa, Bhāgavatam class. Then we would all sit together and take prasāda. Then we would pile into a van and they let us out. It was like we were shot from a cannon, and the only technique I remember is just being so happy that I would actually get a running start, and then I would stop, skid into people, and say, "You look great." Then I would hand them a book, is say, "These are books about pure love for God, and it's meant to wake up pure love for God within your heart. And today, we just ask for a donation to help spread love for God." That was it. That's all he told people. It was just happiness, expressing happiness, distributing happiness, and being fully aware that if somebody was able to give something, a little attention to the book, take it home, give a donation which will make them have more attention to the book, then it was a big success. That's the life of the person who has the greatest opportunity to follow in Śrīla Prabhupāda's footsteps, to go out into the great unknown, just like catching in the Jaladūta. Just put yourself in that mindset that you are catching the Jaladūta. What would it feel like, the exhilaration to get on the boat, to fulfill the order of your spiritual master. Books in hand. Not a care in the world about not having facility, knowing that Kṛṣṇa will support you. Are you feeling it?

    Brent Bozell III, just confirmed in December 2025 as US Ambassador to South Africa, noted in his confirmation hearing that his major duties would be protecting Israel from criminal prosecution. It turns out that the white farmers narrative was merely a rallying cry for American defense of Israel. December 2025 also brought us confirmation that the narrative about Nigerian Christians and drug-infested Venezuela were also nothing more than propaganda campaigns on behalf of Israel, using the emotions and political views of Christians and Conservatives to justify war. Benjamin Netanyahu claims Iran is backing Venezuela and that despite his country being at the forefront of persecuting or outright killing Christians in Syria and Lebanon, among other places, he stands with the U.S. in protecting Christians in Nigeria. It is not a coincidence that Israel also became the first country to recognize a breakaway region of Somalia called Somaliland, the same day Nick Shirley released his Somalian fraud video in Minnesota. It is no coincidence that while millions in fraud were reportedly exposed for the first time, despite the story being a decade old, billions were approved with Israel for a fighter jet deal - the same week the pentagon also failed its eighth straight audit and yet kept its $1 budget for 2026. What the Nigeria, Venezuela, and Minnesota stories all have in common, besides Israeli propaganda, is the offsetting of Israeli criticism or Jewish supremacy with racial and religious divisions involving any other group, but specifically the Muslims. But what about drugs in Venezuela? The 2024 US DOJ-DEA National Drug Threat Assessment literally did not even mention Venezuela. But once again, Israel comes in to play, considering that Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico is not only Jewish, but is effectively facilitating cartel control of the country, which itself is funded and organized by Israel in part. What about Christians in Nigeria? Not only is the story half a century old, but according to the U.S. State Department and French Institute for Research in Africa there are possibly more Muslims being killed, while overall it is almost impossible to determine if religion has anything to do with the killings. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

From there, she pulls you into the real origin story of 1000 Hours Outside: a young mom in over her head, three little kids, no sleep, and the first truly good day she'd had in years, September 2011 at a Michigan park, when four to six hours outside (a Charlotte Mason idea she initially thought was ridiculous) changed everything. This episode is a rally cry for families who want more peace, more play, more courage, and less screen-shaped childhood, plus practical ways to start tracking, building a life with “not enough time for screens,” and letting nature become the place where kids grow up incrementally… and parents learn to trust them. Along the way, Ginny shares her top 10 most meaningful books of 2025 (out of 210 books read during the year!), the quotes that steadied her this year, and why reading, walking, and outside time are “time-protection” habits in a world designed to co-opt attention. She also reads the marketing language from Replika AI out loud, because it genuinely alarms her, and makes a clear, compassionate case for choosing the real thing: real friends, real discomfort, real growth, real life. The episode closes with hope for listeners carrying heavy burdens into the new year, and ends with “Beautiful World,” a song and musical collaboration featuring Ginny's daughters because the whole point is this: childhood isn't meant to be performed on a screen. It's meant to be lived. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    What really happens when you stop dieting and start eating healthy? In this episode, we hear from two real people who spent years trying to “do the right thing” with food and still felt stuck.  Today, we're joined by Becky and Mark, two ZOE members sharing their personal journeys. Each of them has spent the past two years consistently applying ZOE nutrition principles. Instead of relying on rules or restrictions, they embarked on a science-led journey with ZOE, focused on understanding their bodies. The results? Truly remarkable - ZOE became such an important part of their lives that, alongside 18,000 other members of our community, they became ZOE owners through our crowdfunding. So what changed, and did it last? Alongside Professors Tim Spector and Sarah Berry, we explore how Becky and Mark stay motivated and on track, the lessons they have learned, and the strategies they have used to feel more in control and more confident in their everyday choices. As well as some unexpected shifts along the way. It's a conversation about long-term change, not quick fixes, and you'll leave it with real-life examples of how to make healthy eating a part of your everyday life. If healthy eating wasn't about willpower or perfection, what small change would you start with? And what would help you take that first step this week? Unwrap the truth about your food

    High performance leadership often leads to burnout, decision fatigue, and role confusion. In this episode, Julie Holly reveals how leaders can hold authority without self-abandonment by leading from identity integrity instead of pressure.High-capacity leaders rarely struggle because they don't care enough — they struggle because they care too deeply, and they've been carrying leadership in their nervous system.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores why leadership so often feels like a trade-off between authority and inner peace — and why that trade-off is unnecessary.If you've experienced leadership burnout, decision fatigue, role confusion, or the quiet fear that slowing down might cost you respect, this conversation names what's really happening beneath the surface. The exhaustion many leaders feel isn't a motivation problem or a boundary failure — it's an identity integrity issue.Julie introduces the concept of identity integrity: the internal boundary that allows leaders to stay deeply invested without being internally consumed. When responsibility lives inside identity, leadership becomes heavy. When responsibility lives inside role, it can be carried — and set down.This episode gently dismantles three common leadership myths:That boundaries equal withdrawalThat presence means passivityThat strong leadership requires self-erasureInstead, listeners are invited into a more grounded way of leading — one where authority is steady, calm, and trustworthy, and where nothing meaningful is lost when leadership stops living in the nervous system.This is not mindset work or performance optimization. It's Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) — the root-level realignment that makes every other tool effective again. When identity leads before action, decisions simplify, boundaries feel clean, and leadership becomes something you inhabit rather than survive.Whether you're navigating burnout recovery, spiritual exhaustion, success without fulfillment, or an identity drift brought on by years of responsibility, this episode offers language, relief, and a clear path forward.Today's Micro RecalibrationPause and ask:Where have I been equating authority with over-carrying? Then gently ask:What would leadership look like if I stayed rooted while remaining responsible?Notice what shifts in your body as you reflect.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

    Books That Matter for Photographers, Artists, Writers and all Creators: Steven Pressfield and The War of Art, Resistance, and Professionalization. Recorded on New Year's Day from a busy coffee shop in Bali, Indonesia, this solo episode of Beyond The Lens is a deep, honest meditation on why photographers, artists, writers, and creators struggle to do the work that matters most—and what to do about it.Drawing from The War of Art by Steven Pressfield, Richard unpacks the idea of Resistance: the invisible, internal force that shows up whenever we try to create, grow, or change. Procrastination. Self-doubt. Distraction. Rationalization.

    The Shifts That Will Create a Breakthrough Year in Your Consulting BusinessA breakthrough year doesn't come from working harder, getting luckier, or finding the perfect strategy. It comes from changing how you think and operate as a business owner.In this episode, Melisa walks you through why most consultants never experience a true breakthrough year. Not because they're incapable, but because they keep running their business from the same mental operating system that created their current results.If you've hit a plateau or you keep setting bigger goals without seeing meaningful change, this episode will challenge how you think about value, demand, time, revenue, and money itself.Join in as Melisa breaks down the five specific mindset shifts that create real momentum. This isn't motivational fluff. These are practical shifts that change how you make decisions, how you price, how you sell, and how you protect your capacity.A breakthrough year is available to you. But it requires you to stop thinking like a do-er and start thinking like the business owner you already are.What you will learn in this episode:[03:45] Why breakthroughs rarely happen and what actually creates them[07:10] The role emotional capacity plays in achieving bigger goals[12:30] Shift #1. Moving from effort-based value to outcome ownership[15:10] Shift #2. Creating demand instead of waiting for it[18:45] Shift #3. Reframing revenue from income replacement to a revenue engine[22:30] Shift #4. Protecting capacity instead of filling the calendar[26:15] Shift #5.

    Happy New Year from One True Podcast! We look forward to a rich, exciting 2026 by looking back to 1926.In our first show of the year, we ask an esteemed guest to take us back exactly one hundred years to see what was happening in Hemingway's life, work, and world. So, to guide us through Hemingway's 1926 -- his travels, his relationships, his publishing, and his writing – we welcome the great Hemingway scholar Ross K. Tangedal. For Hemingway, 1926 was a colossally important year that saw his transition from Hadley to his second wife, Pauline; the transition from Boni & Liveright to Scribner's; and the publication of The Torrents of Spring and The Sun Also Rises, both crucially important for different reasons. Tangedal guides us through this remarkable year in Hemingway's life and his writing. We have previously begun calendar years with flashback episodes featuring: Mary Dearborn on 1922; James M. Hutchisson on 1923; Verna Kale on 1924; and J. Gerald Kennedy on 1925. We encourage you to check out those past shows to get up to date!
