While people may not point it out to you when you use the wrong word – they DO notice. This episode begins by setting the record straight on the right words to use that people commonly get wrong. For instance, when do you use take or bring, further or farther, ironic or coincidental and others? https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/misused-words-make-smart-people-look-dumb-dr-travis-bradberry/ For every person on earth, there are 1.4 billion bugs. We share the world with bugs, and we owe them our very existence. How can that be? Here with the explanation and some fascinating intel about all the bugs that surround you is Karyn Light-Gibson. She is an educator and author of the book, Bug Life: How Bees, Butterflies, and Other Insects Rule the World (https://amzn.to/40sTJlp) You've probably used an emoji in texts or social media posts. You add a smiley face or a balloon emoji to punctuate what you are saying. But there is much more to the emoji story than you ever knew. For example, the emoji you send in a text is not necessarily the emoji the recipient sees – which can alter the meaning completely. Here to reveal the fascinating story of the emoji is Keith Houston, author of the book Face with Tears of Joy: A Natural History of Emoji (https://amzn.to/3Gg4r82). How you handle and prepare food can impact how healthy those foods are – for better or worse. Listen as I reveal how strawberries, garlic and yogurt can be made healthier with just a little effort. https://www.cnn.com/2015/05/25/health/eating-foods-wrong/index.html PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

I'm gonna be the person that I'm made to be, born to be.” “Resilience is simply just the absence of negative effects of trauma.” “What's on the other side of your pain is so much better than you could possibly imagine.” “The caterpillar cannot fly if it doesn't struggle to work its way out of the cocoon. That's how it becomes strong enough to spread those wings and fly.” “Being resilient doesn't mean that you weren't affected. It means there's no lasting effect.” “We have far bigger opportunities for growth after we've shattered than we would have had we been resilient to start with.” “The world breaks everyone, but some are strong at the broken places.” “When it comes to learning, you don't learn a thing if you do something right, because you already knew how to do it. The only time you have the opportunity to learn is when you fail.” “The shattering is not the end of the story. The shattering is an opportunity.” “God will do whatever it takes to get us where He wants us to be.” “There is a time in everyone's life when you will shatter. And if you can't think of it, you either haven't gone through it or you're lying to yourself.” BOOKS MENTIONED: CURED: The Life-Changing Science of Spontaneous Healing by Dr. Jeff Rediger (https://a.co/d/hNoqa89) When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress by Dr. Gabor Mate (https://a.co/d/0rRTotc) USEFUL RESOURCES: https://holisticresilience.com/ https://kellygreeneelrodtherapy.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellygreene-holisticresilience/ https://www.instagram.com/kellygreene.me/ https://www.facebook.com/kellygreene.holisticresilience https://www.facebook.com/kelly.greene.elrod CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://iamjohnhulen.com    Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen    Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen    X - https://x.com/johnhulen    LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen    YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA    EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

This is the second installment in our series of video rewind episodes, with an interview featuring jazz legend Kamasi Washington. Watch the full episode on our Substack: ⁠https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/video-rewind-kamasi-washington-a⁠ Jazz is a constantly evolving art form, offering some of the richest lessons in creative collaboration. A melody and chord progression provide the foundation, but as each musician brings their unique improvisational perspective, the music takes on unexpected, transformative shapes. Design Better is brought to you by ⁠Wix Studio⁠, the most powerful web design platform for entrepreneurs, agencies, and creative thinkers. ⁠Learn more →⁠ If you ask any fan of the genre who's pushing jazz into new territory, Kamasi Washington's name will come up—likely at the very top. His 2015 album The Epic won the American Music Prize and stands, in our opinion, as one of the greatest jazz records of the 21st century. Kamasi contributed to Kendrick Lamar's Grammy-winning To Pimp a Butterfly, scored Michelle Obama's Netflix documentary Becoming, and has collaborated with musical legends like Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Lauryn Hill, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Chaka Khan, and many more. In this episode, we spent an evening with Kamasi, exploring his creative process, what he's learned from his collaborators, his philosophy on collaboration, and his latest album, ⁠Fearless Movement⁠. ⁠Zero Gravity, Wayne Shorter documentary on Amazon Prime⁠ ⁠Kamasi's newest record, ⁠⁠Fearless Movement⁠ ⁠The Epic⁠ ⁠Kamasi Washington's website⁠ Kamasi Washington, born in Los Angeles in 1981, grew up surrounded by music, with a saxophonist father and a flutist mother who nurtured his musical talent from a young age. Kamasi's journey began with drums and piano in his early years, progressing to the clarinet at age seven and finally to the tenor saxophone at twelve, mirroring his father's path. His high school years at Hamilton High School Music Academy were pivotal; there, he joined the renowned Multi School Jazz Band and learned from jazz icons like Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Kamasi's talent was quickly recognized when he won the John Coltrane Saxophone Competition, and he co-founded "The Young Jazz Giants," which marked his early step into professional music. Kamasi's musical evolution continued at UCLA, where he studied ethnomusicology and expanded his understanding of global music traditions. This foundation supported his wide-ranging collaborations beyond jazz, where he worked with artists like Snoop Dogg, Raphael Saadiq, and Kendrick Lamar. Yet, despite his diverse influences, Kamasi remained firmly rooted in jazz, ultimately channeling these experiences into his innovative sound. His 2015 debut album, The Epic, was a monumental release—a three-disc exploration of jazz that introduced a unique blend of spiritual depth and musical complexity. The album garnered critical acclaim, broadening Kamasi's reach and establishing him as a leader in modern jazz. *** This ad-supported episode is available to everyone.

Abebe Butterfly Song is a documentary that starts as a narrative exploration of Melbourne musician David Bridie, best known for his work in bands like Not Drowning, Waving and My Friend the Chocolate Cake, but then folds in his life-changing experience of travelling to Papua New Guinea and meeting musician George Telek and the Moab Stringband.The film then takes audiences through a journey of discovering Papua New Guinea culture and how Australia's past is intertwined with Papua New Guinea's future. This includes explorations of the engagements during WW2, the devastating volcano eruption in 1994, and the music the emerges from these histories. Abebe Butterfly Song arrives as Papua New Guinea prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary of independence.Andrew interviewed director Rosie Jones about bringing this story to life.

I'm sure it's not surprising to hear that butterflies are in decline, but the speed at which it is happening may be. Butterflies are being lost at a rate of 1.3% per year, which means more than one-fifth have disappeared over a 20-year period. These are just a couple of the alarming statistics that emerged from the work of the State of the Butterflies in the United States working group. The group was comprised of scientists from universities, agencies, and the Xerces Society. Their findings have been published in academic journals, including Science. Building on this, Xerces has just released State of the Butterflies in the United States, a report authored by members of the working group that presents a picture of the status of butterflies and offers a vision for how we can reverse the declines.To talk with us about the report and what we need to do are Scott Black and Cheryl Shultz. Scott is the executive director of the Xerces Society. His work has resulted in the protection and restoration of habitat on millions of acres of rangelands, forests, and farmland, as well as protection for many endangered species. Cheryl is a professor at Washington State University Vancouver, where she studies the ecology of at-risk species, particularly butterflies of the PNW prairies. Cheryl also is a long-time scientific advisor to the Xerces Society. ---Photo credit: Candace Fallon/Xerces SocietyThank you for listening! For more information go to xerces.org/bugbanter.

It is a privilege to welcome singer-songwriter Michael Lazar to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.  Michael is a Miami-based singer-songwriter whose music blends pop, theater, and poetry into something deeply personal. His critically acclaimed debut album, 51/49, chronicled an 18-year journey through grief, reinvention, and healing – an autobiographical song cycle born from Michael's move to New York City to study musical theatre at NYU, his countless Broadway auditions, and even a devastating apartment fire.   His latest extended play, Daydreaming, is scheduled for release on July 25, 2025. The title track combines wistful piano melodies with atmospheric synths while capturing the emotional pull of imagined love.The full EP expands on the themes introduced in the single, offering a cohesive six-song journey through longing, hope, and personal transformation. From the golden-hour shimmer of “Magic Hour” to the pulsing ache of “Want Me Back,” Lazar crafts a pastel-toned sonic world grounded in vulnerability. The EP also features a reimagined version of “Can't Help Falling in Love,” a tender reflection in “By My Side,” and concludes with “Life of the Butterfly,” a poetic meditation on growth and letting go.All six tracks were written, performed, and produced by Lazar. The EP was mastered by Michael Banks of UEFO, whose previous work on Lazar's 2021 debut album, 51/49, helped establish the warmth and emotional clarity that have become hallmarks of his sound.  On this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Michael Lazar spoke about Daydreaming's recording process, performing alongside future Avengers actor Chris Evans and Scott Evans, during his childhood. He also explained why he declares Britney Spears, Jewel, and Tori Amos make up his trifecta of inspiration.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Video Jukebox Song of The Day! Every weekday will be featuring a live watch of a great and memorable music video. This week with Father's Day happening this past Sunday, all the songs featured will be about dads. On today's episode, Andy Atherton is watching, “Butterfly Kisses” by Bob Carlisle from 1997.   The YouTube link for the video is below so you can watch along! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwlAdEnT-do

Monarch creatures may be small creatures, but they go on an epic adventure every year across much of the globe. Now, the federal government is stepping in. In December, the Fish and Wildlife Service proposed to list monarch butterflies as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act. But since then, the new Trump administration has begun discussing rescinding the definition of “harm” in the act. That could remove certain protections for all listed species and their habitats. 

In this episode of We Are Resilient, we remember Jadie Butterfly, an Indigenous woman who was tragically killed on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana in December 2024, at just 19 years old. Her case remains open and her family is still waiting for answers.This is a reminder of the strength it takes to keep fighting, even when the system remains silent.Sources:https://montanafreepress.org/2025/05/05/on-mmip-day-of-awareness-blackfeet-father-demands-justice/https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1Dzayoq2wp/?mibextid=wwXIfrSupport the show

E406 – "Inner Voice: A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan Zeine" In this powerful episode, Dr. Foojan Zeine is joined by Katty Douraghy—entrepreneur, author of The Butterfly Years, podcast host, and facilitator—who opens up about her journey with grief, loss, and healing. Katty brings heartfelt insight into navigating grief, demystifying the process, and embracing resilience and self-discovery.

Robbie claims emotional support humans are the best things to squeeze during anxious times. We feel sorry for his girlfriend. Pepper steers the conversation towards butterflies. We wind up learning quite a bit about them. Did you know the fear of being touched is a real thing? We chat with someone who suffers from it. We recap some of the big things going on with the show right now. Shrinkflation is hitting us hard again.

In the first episode, Gabrielle Calvocoressi invites listeners to make a web._____Matsuo Bashō wrote: Wake, butterfly—it's late, we've milesto go together. Poetry magazine presents Wake, Butterfly, a series of intimate portraits that invite listeners to keep creating. The series is produced by Rachel James with sound design by Axel Kacoutié._____Here's an edited version of Calvocoressi's prompt: Make a web. Use whatever form of web making comes naturally to your orb-weaving self. Could you make a web that connects one part of your room or the place where you are to another? This can be theoretical, spiritual, pragmatic; it can be tactile, it can be sonic, it can be visual, or just the deep web of memory.  Could you make enough space for a ghost to come through?  What's your web? Get as intricate as you want. Weave and weave, and just let your mind make the form. Or you want to get physical? Find yourself a ball of string and whatever mobility means to you. This can be done in bed. This can be done alone or with others. Construct a web.  You can stop right there. You don't have to make a poem. Nobody has to make a poem. But if you want to keep going, you could make a poem that contains all the things that you caught in that web. Could you make a form called an orb weaver? What would that look like? What would your orb weaver look like?

I'll be playing with this concept more in the future (hopefully next time on actual watercolor paper and maybe using other media too).   Knitting in Passing A nice gentleman said my crochet was beautiful and that he crochets. I showed him my tank top which was nearly done at the time. We went to a grad party for my SIL and a friend of hers remembered me from Zach's birthday. She wants to crochet so we talked about resources etc. Reconnected with some of Dan's cousins recently. His cousin Melissa and I often talk books, so that was fun but she also said she'd like to learn to knit and/or crochet. Hoping to get together with her for lunch in Boston soon. Thank you to Suzanne- Sew Run It for the beautiful handknit hat and three knit hearts for my birthday. She started it shortly after my mom passed. Her notes say "The colors screamed Diane!

This week's Bad Boy story tells the tale of one avid Butterfly seller.

This hour, Don hears from Monster Steven Milam from LSU looking to keep the season rolling against Arkansas tonight, before getting back to reports from the likes of Mike Gallo, on evening fishing in his area, Butch Ridgedell, on the latest upcoming BCKFC events, a Bad Boys story about one man's plight for Butterflies, our "Plastic Man" Ryan Lambert drops by to discuss the red hot fishing near him, and fellow radio man Moon Griffon, joins us to go over how he gets out on the water!

In this conversation, the speakers explore the humorous aspects of parenting, particularly focusing on the language and behaviors of children. They discuss the evolution of language among kids, the pressure to conform to social expectations, and the influence of social media on their perceptions. The conversation also touches on the challenges of instilling confidence in children, especially in sports, and the quirks of childhood behavior that often lead to misunderstandings and laughter. In this conversation, the speakers delve into various themes surrounding childhood diagnoses, parenting styles, the impact of AI on scams, and humorous reflections on historical moments. They discuss the evolving perceptions of autism and ADHD, the importance of discipline in parenting, and the rise of AI-related scams. The conversation takes a playful turn as they explore the idea of scamming the scammers and reflect on significant historical events they wish they could witness. The discussion wraps up with a light-hearted take on time travel and the potential to change history. In this conversation, the speakers explore the impact of choices on life paths, the reimagining of historical events, and the implications of the butterfly effect. They discuss hypothetical scenarios in history, the consequences of wealth and power, and the changing value of money. The conversation also touches on the risks associated with sudden wealth and the legacy of wealth and its influence on future generations. In this conversation, the speakers delve into various conspiracy theories, focusing on the Rothschild family and their alleged influence over global affairs. They discuss the implications of wealth and power, the controversies surrounding the moon landing, and speculations about alien life and technology. The conversation also touches on the potential political shifts in Canada and the broader implications of these theories on society. Takeaways: Humor often stems from overdoing a joke to the point of absurdity. Children's language evolves rapidly, influenced by trends and social media. Confidence in children can be fragile, especially in competitive environments. Miscommunication can lead to humorous situations, especially with kids. Parents often find themselves correcting their children's misconceptions. The pressure to conform can lead to kids adopting silly behaviors. Social media plays a significant role in shaping children's beliefs and language. Children often misinterpret facts, leading to humorous misunderstandings. Instilling confidence in kids requires patience and understanding. Childhood behavior can be quirky and often reflects their innocence. Autism is increasingly diagnosed in children, similar to ADHD.
