Lisa Bilyeu and intimacy expert Shan Boodram continue their deep dive into the art of seduction—moving from the signature personalities like “the Star” and “the Centerfold,” to building enduring wow factor and how to keep attraction alive in long-term relationships. Shan reveals how confidence is built not through massive, overwhelming change, but small “rivers of confidence” that are unique to your culture, personal style, and chosen sexual icon. Lisa and Shan discuss aging, attracting as your most authentic self, avoiding society's ageist traps, and how to ground self-worth outside of fleeting appearance or sex appeal. They close with a frank conversation about the “seven year itch,” explaining why we lose the spark in relationships and exactly what to do about it—drawing from the latest science and real-world intimacy wisdom. Shan leaves listeners with practical, transformational advice on sexual self-ownership, pleasure, and how to reignite connection—both with your partner and yourself.

When we think of movies with Hollywood defining legacies, Mr. & Mrs. Smith wouldn't be the first that springs to mind.A fun, comedic mid-2000s action flick, capitalising on the chemistry of its two stunningly beautiful leads; it became the movie that defined a generation of celebrity culture, and sold hundreds of thousands of gossip magazines.But it all could have been very different, had it not been for The Stepford Wives.The film's inception, a chaotic filming schedule that resulted in significant budget overruns, and a constantly changing script pale in comparison to the media circus that followed Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, affectionately given the portmanteau 'Brangelina', and how their relationship flourished as they played married assassins; oblivious to each other's secret lives until they're pitted against one another to finish their respective jobs. Not to mention his previous marriage failing at about the same time they were filming this movie - surely it's all a coincidence?Their journey from co-stars to Hollywood power couple to eventually married and sharing six children would not lead to their happily ever after, unlike John and Jane Smith.I would love to hear your thoughts on Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

This week's reading was A Thousand and One Nights, also known as The Arabian Nights. The backstory (very, very briefly) was that a king, upon finding his queen to be unfaithful, executed her, and declared himself done with women, sort of. Every night, a new woman was brought to be his queen. Every morning he had his vizier execute the poor unfortunate girl. One day the vizier's own daughter Scheherazade asked to be married to the king. After many days of begging, the vizier finally gave in to the girl's request.Once in the king's bedchamber, her sister (it's kind of complicated) asked for a story. Scheherazade spun a tale but ended it at a cliffhanger. The king, wanting to hear the end of the story, decided to let her live and bring her back for a second night. With stories that included Sinbad, Ali Baba and Aladdin, Scheherazade lived a thousand and one (and more) nights.The actual stories are collected from around the 8th century until the 13th, from Persia and India predominantly. They were translated into English around the 17th century. I'd imagine that the exotic stories captivated European audiences!For me, the experience of reading the stories was similar to reading Grimm's Fairy Tales. The stories are fun, and very interesting—I loved some of them, especially the seven voyages of Sinbad. But when I say they didn't leave a mark, I just don't think I'll take a lot from this week's reading. I didn't find any of them to demonstrate particular lessons, to teach virtues or make some kind of grand statement about the human condition. They were really fun, and I will definitely keep this book around because it is terrific bedtime reading. That's not a terrible thing to say about a book.A year ago I read the wonderful Everything Sad is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri, about a little Iranian boy who emigrates to Oklahoma with his mom and brother. There are vignettes in which the author directly references these stories, related as a way for him to hold onto his Persian heritage. I do think I'll go back and reread that one, just because I really loved it and would like to be able to know it a little better. Now that I've read Arabian Nights, that should be easy.LINKDaniel Nayeri, author of Everything Sad is UntrueTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)CONNECTTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm

Kingdom ProsperityWhat Jesus Really Said—and How You Can Be Part of ItFolks, we live in a world where everyone is chasing the next big thing—crypto, side hustles, online courses that promise you will “get rich by Tuesday.” People will spend five dollars on a cup of coffee without thinking twice, yet hesitate to invest in something that truly matters for eternity.A few years ago, we all witnessed how quickly priorities can get turned upside down. Remember when people were hoarding toilet paper as if it were gold? Store shelves were emptied, and some folks tried to sell rolls online at outrageous prices, thinking they had found the fast track to prosperity—selling toilet paper.Let me ask you this: What is it all for?That's what Pastor Bob Thibodeau shares in this episode of his live ministry broadcast!!!_____________________________________________Check Out These Amazing LinksPastor Bob "HIGHLY" recommends "Captivate.FM" as YOUR podcast host!

Evangelism is a tricky thing, isn't it? On the one hand, it's something that can seem so foreign and uncomfortable to us (in part due to some really bad examples we've gotten). And on the other hand, it's something that we often see reserved for a select few who God has called for that purpose.In Acts chapter 20, Paul makes what shouldn't be, but often is a stunning revelation: that the job of evangelism belongs to all of us. In fact, as believers, it is THE race that we are called to run.So how do we overcome the various obstacles that stop us from testifying? That's what we dove into this weekend, while also reframing our view of evangelism so that we learn to see it in the correct light and hold it with the significance that it deserves. Tune into this week's message called, “Outta My Comfort Zone”.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).If you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

What happens when Hollywood egos, sabotage campaigns, and directorial chaos collide in the Arizona desert? Tombstone is a film that survived one of the most tumultuous productions in Western movie history to become a beloved cult classic.You think the gunfight at the O.K. Corral was dramatic? That's nothing compared to Kevin Costner's alleged studio sabotage campaign, the director who got fired just one month into filming, and how Kurt Russell allegedly secretly took over directing duties while refusing to put his name on the film. A bitter rivalry with Costner's competing Wyatt Earp nearly killed Tombstone before it reached cinemas, and Val Kilmer's career-defining performance as Doc Holliday only really happened because of studio interference, which came from Costner's attempt to derail the production.From the scorching Arizona heat, to the replacement director brought in with just three days of preparation; a director who made the cinematographer quit three times, as well as various other crew members, Tombstone is a masterclass in how great movies can emerge from absolute production disasters. It's a tale of Hollywood hardball, Western justice, and that sometimes your worst enemy can accidentally become your greatest asset.I would love to hear your thoughts on Tombstone (1993) !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

Systematic Geekology engages in a profound exploration of "Superman: The Animated Series," a seminal show that debuted in 1996, coinciding with the imminent release of "Superman (2025)," written and directed by James Gunn. In this discourse, we, Christian Ashley and Kevin Schaeffer, delve into the intricate narrative and thematic elements of the animated series, assessing its enduring relevance and substantial influence on contemporary portrayals of the iconic character. Our dialogue underscores the series' pivotal role in shaping the modern understanding of Superman, particularly in light of Gunn's admiration for its foundational contributions to the superhero genre. As we navigate the complexities of Superman's character—his moral dilemmas, relationships, and the challenges of being a beacon of hope—we reflect on how these themes resonate within the broader context of the upcoming film. Join us as we celebrate a hallmark of animated storytelling that continues to inspire and inform the legacy of one of comic history's most enduring heroes.The discussion commences with an enthusiastic examination of Superman: The Animated Series, a hallmark of 1990s animation that left an indelible mark on superhero storytelling. The hosts, Kevin Schaefer and Christian Ashley, delve into the series' significance, not merely as entertainment but as a cultural phenomenon that shaped the depiction of Superman and his universe. They reflect on their personal experiences with the show, illustrating how it forged their understanding of the character and introduced them to a plethora of themes including identity, morality, and the concept of heroism. The duo articulates a deep appreciation for the series' ability to humanize Superman, portraying him not only as an invincible hero but as a figure grappling with the complexities of his Kryptonian heritage and his role as a protector of Earth. The series' voice cast, particularly Tim Daly as Superman and Clancy Brown as Lex Luthor, is heralded for bringing depth to their characters, with the hosts noting how Brown's portrayal of Lex Luthor has become the definitive interpretation in the minds of many fans. They emphasize the show's influence on contemporary portrayals of the character, particularly in light of the upcoming Superman film directed by James Gunn, which draws heavily from the rich legacy established by this animated series.Takeaways: The profound influence of 'Superman: The Animated Series' on contemporary superhero narratives cannot be overstated, as it laid foundational elements that resonate in modern adaptations. A salient theme within the series revolves around Superman's dual identity, exploring the complexities of his alien heritage juxtaposed against his human upbringing. The character of Lex Luthor is meticulously crafted, portraying him not merely as a villain but as a complex figure whose motivations challenge Superman's ideals. The series effectively emphasizes the moral responsibilities associated with power, a recurring theme that remains relevant in discussions surrounding heroism in contemporary society. .We discuss all this and more in this one!

Hello, and welcome to The Progress Theory, where we discuss scientific principles for optimising human performance. In this episode, we are joined by a physiologist from Newcastle University, Dr. Callum Brownstein. Now managing and recovering from fatigue is so important for the success of a training programme and sporting performance. So if it's that important, we really should understand the mechanisms behind fatigue. And on top of that, we need to understand how different sports, different training modalities, different training intensities, and different training volumes all influence the type of mechanisms behind fatigue.In this episode, we discuss:0:53 - Introduction8:34 - The difference between central and peripheral fatigue12:15 - Determining the type of fatigue16:42 - Fatigue differences between running and cycling21:29 - Recoverability from different fatigue23:42 - Training session order based on fatigue 26:13 - Intensity and volume on fatigue30:47 - Practical recommendations for training33:41 - Organising a training week35:32 - Pre-fatigue trainingTakeawaysUnderstanding Fatigue: Central vs. Peripheral – Dr. Brownstein explains the vital differences between central fatigue (nervous system-related) and peripheral fatigue (muscle-related) and how these mechanisms influence exercise performance.Exercise Modality Matters: Discover how cycling and running affect fatigue differently. While both sports show similar levels of muscle fatigue, cycling often results in more peripheral fatigue, whereas running tends to cause more central fatigue.Training Intensity: Keep Easy Days Easy – Emphasising the importance of staying disciplined with your exercise intensity, Dr. Brownstein highlights that crossing certain intensity thresholds can significantly compound fatigue, urging the importance of proper recovery.FOLLOW OUR PODCASTFollow our Host / Guest@theprogresstheory@drphilpriceCallum G Brownstein (@CGBrownstein) / X@CGBrownsteinNewcastle University‪David Bishop‬ - ‪Google Scholar‬For all our other episodes and to get in touch, please visit www.theprogresstheory.com.Thanks for listening!

In Episode 252, Kelly is joined by Ben Wise and Darren Chiu—two senior leaders at Google and co-founders of Captivate—for a raw and insightful breakdown of what truly drives persuasion in today's world. They reveal why facts alone don't move people, and how emotional strategy, trust, and authenticity are the real keys to influence. From sales calls to boardrooms, they show how mastering emotional connection will radically transform how you pitch, sell, and lead.Packed with powerful concepts like the Pratfall Effect and the Maya Principle, this conversation digs into how the best communicators choose the emotion they want to elicit—before they speak. You'll learn how to make people feel, how to build trust through imperfection, and how to stop pitching and start persuading. This episode isn't just advice—it's a playbook for anyone who wants to connect deeper, sell smarter, and lead with impact.Key Takeaways: 1. Emotion is the first trigger in any decision-making process, and facts only come into play after the emotional choice is made.2. Building trust and genuine human connection will always outperform even the most logical, fact-filled pitch.3. Before you pitch, define the exact emotion you want your audience to feel—then tailor everything around creating that feeling.4. Storytelling is a persuasion superpower because it activates emotion, builds relatability, and makes your message memorable.5. Showing imperfection, like spilling coffee or tripping on stage, can make you more likable and trustworthy to your audience.6. The MAYA Principle teaches that the best ideas feel new but still familiar—too much innovation too fast creates rejection.7. True persuasion happens when you listen actively and adjust your message based on what the other person feels and needs.8. Salespeople who focus less on impressing and more on understanding are consistently more effective and trusted.9. Even cold outreach can create trust if it's written with warmth, relevance, and emotional awareness.10. Long-term success in persuasion doesn't come from learning every trick—it comes from practicing and mastering a few core principles.

This Sunday, we dove into Acts 19, where Paul brings the Gospel into one of the most idol-filled cities in the ancient world: Ephesus. It's a wild and powerful story where revival breaks out, but not before the truth challenges the culture head-on.We talked about how idols aren't just golden statues or ancient gods. They're often good things we've given ultimate value like success, relationships, family, comfort, security. And while they may promise peace, they can't deliver like Jesus can.We unpacked how easy it is to let the good things in life quietly take the place of God and how Jesus lovingly calls us back to something deeper, freer, and far more lasting. Tune into this week's message titled, “American Idols”.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).If you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

Cutthroat Island has quite the reputation. It's known as the infamous pirate flick that sank a studio, as well as the entire pirate genre, but that's not completely true. In many ways, Cutthroat Island might just be more of a misunderstood gem, that happens to have been created when Carolco Pictures was at the very end of its life - mired in debt, and struggling to stay afloat. Cutthroat Island was its last chance. Cutthroat Island was never the reason Carolco fell into bankruptcy, but it didn't exactly help matters either.It is true that the movie faced a storm of production woes, casting drama, and a box office disaster that left it walking the plank. Female-led action movies like Cutthroat Island often face harsher scrutiny than their male counterparts. But Cutthroat Island also deserves a second look, showcasing epic stunts, lush visuals, huge pyrotechnics, and a swashbuckling adventure that's way more fun than its critics would have you believe. It's time to navigate the choppy waters of pirate cinema, and explore why it's high time we give this movie more love!

How to Create Psychological Safety in Your Team From Ego to Empathy: Reframing Executive Presence Episode 264 (Richard is based in South Africa) In this conversation with Richard Reid we explore: the true meaning of charisma and why it's more about how others feel than how you appear the role of psychological safety in building trust, influence, and innovation why self-awareness is the foundation of authentic leadership how emotional leakage can sabotage your message and your team culture strategies to reset your internal state between meetings for greater presence how leaders can communicate calm during crises through deliberate body language and speech the power of micro-habits to improve energy, confidence, and communication how reflection and journaling enhance resilience and leadership effectiveness practical routines to prevent burnout and show up as your best self how leaders can foster a growth mindset and create space for others to shine ----- About our guest, Richard Reid: Richard is the author of "Charisma Unlocked: The Science and Strategy to Captivate, Influence and Succeed in Business". He was Chief People Officer at a global law firm. He is from the UK and now lives in South Africa. Learn more about his Masterclasses and coaching at https://richard-reid.com/live-events/charisma-workshops/ ----- Key lessons from this conversation: Charisma is about how others feel, not how impressive you appear. Psychological safety is central to charisma and effective leadership. Charisma starts with self-awareness and managing your internal world. Reflective routines enhance emotional regulation and presence. Effective communication means seeing others as individuals, not objects. In a crisis, calm leadership is conveyed through body language and vocal control. Leaders need to be intentional with their energy and meeting schedules. Small micro-habits, like breathing or posture resets, have a big impact. True charisma is sustainable and rooted in authenticity, not performance. Teams thrive when members feel safe to express themselves and fail forward. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

The Battle for Your Mind Mary Catherine Liscinski In today's discourse, we delve into the pressing issue of digital addiction and its pervasive impact on familial relationships and individual well-being. Our esteemed guest, Mary Kathryn Lysinski, a licensed counselor and family coach, articulates the critical need for families to recognize and address the detrimental effects of excessive screen time. She posits that the true threat to familial peace may not be external societal pressures but rather the screens that dominate our daily lives. Through her insights, Mary Kathryn offers invaluable strategies aimed at reclaiming harmony within households and enhancing interpersonal connections that have been compromised by digital distractions. As we navigate this complex terrain, it becomes imperative to consider the holistic development of our children and the nurturing of an environment where the Holy Spirit reigns supreme over the pervasive influence of technology.Takeaways:In the pursuit of reclaiming familial peace, we must address the pervasive issue of digital addiction that currently afflicts numerous households across our society.Mary Kathryn Lysinski emphasizes the importance of preparation before implementing restrictions on screen time to ensure a smoother transition and avoid familial conflict.It is crucial for parents to recognize the signs of digital addiction in their children, such as withdrawal from social interactions and declining academic performance.The psychological ramifications of excessive screen time can manifest as symptoms resembling ADHD, thereby significantly impairing a child's ability to focus and engage meaningfully with their environment.We must be vigilant in observing how screen usage affects the emotional health of our youth, as many are exhibiting signs of depression and anxiety in unprecedented numbers.The conversation surrounding digital addiction is not solely a personal family issue; it is a collective societal concern that necessitates our urgent and concerted action.CONTACT INFORMATION: Email: coach@lifewalkpc.com Website: https://Lifewalkcoaching.com _____________________________________________Check Out These Amazing LinksPastor Bob "HIGHLY" recommends "Captivate.FM" as YOUR podcast host!

In 1999, Stan Winston Studios and Digital Domain joined forces to create one of cinema's most convincing monsters - the massive crocodile from "Lake Placid." Winston's team, fresh off "Jurassic Park," built a groundbreaking 30-foot animatronic that could actually function underwater using waterproofed hydraulics and urethane skin - a technical marvel that had previously destroyed lesser movie creatures. With snapping jaws, moving eyes, and a thrashing tail, this mechanical beast terrorized actors in the frigid lakes of British Columbia while creating genuine fear on set.Digital Domain seamlessly handled what the animatronic couldn't, crafting stunning CGI sequences of the crocodile diving and surfacing with explosive water effects. This hybrid approach - blending Winston's tactile craftsmanship with cutting-edge computer graphics - produced just under four minutes of unforgettable screen time. Weather delays, waterproofing challenges, and the genius of two legendary effects houses brought Lake Placid to life, but in a crowded summer of 1999, this croc would struggle to dominate the box office, instead becoming a cult classic creature feature.I would love to hear your thoughts on Lake Placid !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

In this episode, my son Jack joins me to examine The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius, a Roman scholar living just after the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 CE. A renaissance man before the Renaissance, Boethius translated Greek philosophers like Aristotle and Plato, served as a trusted aide to the Gothic king Theodoric in Ravenna, and was a mathematician, astronomer, and family man whose sons became consuls in their early 20s. Despite his Christian faith, tensions with the Arian Theodoric led to his imprisonment and brutal execution at 44. This tragedy tarnished Theodoric's rule, but Boethius' legacy shaped medieval thought, preserving Greek philosophy and influencing giants like Chaucer, Dante, Aquinas, and Shakespeare.Written in a cell awaiting death, The Consolation of Philosophy is a profound dialogue between Boethius and Lady Philosophy. Divided into five books, it blends prose (prosa) and poetry (metrea), offering wisdom through a narrative arc. Book One introduces Boethius' despair; Book Two explores Fortune's fickleness; Book Three seeks the highest Good; Book Four tackles the problem of evil; and Book Five reconciles divine foreknowledge with free will. The poems, rich with mythological and Biblical imagery, provide emotional breaks and reinforce the prose's insights. As C.S. Lewis noted, this work was beloved by educated Europeans for centuries.Boethius weaves Neoplatonism, Stoicism, and Aristotelian ideas into a Christian framework. Lady Philosophy echoes Plato's belief in innate knowledge, urging Boethius to “dream of your origin,” and champions philosopher-kings. Stoic themes emerge as she declares the mind free despite bodily exile, while Aristotle's Unmoved Mover aligns with Boethius' God. The concept of exile as a spiritual crisis resonates, connecting Boethius to figures like Odysseus and Dante.Jack and I discuss whether this is a satire, and how much both of us love Boethius as a character in his own novel.The Ignatius Press edition, translated by Scott Goins and Barbara Wyman, shines with clear prose, excellent footnotes, and quality paper—perfect for annotating. This book demands a reread and sparks a reading list including Chaucer, Milton, and C.S. Lewis' The Discarded Image. Join us! I think this book is for everyone, but even if you think, "Maybe not for me," you'll know what it's about and why it matters.This is a year-long challenge!

Dr. Jewel Williams, a Doctor of Health Science, Nationally Registered EMT, and Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES®), is an adjunct faculty member at the University of Bridgeport. With over 20 years as an educator and former principal, she is passionate about empowering educators to prioritise their well-being. Dr. Williams integrates neuroscience with the eight dimensions of wellness—physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, occupational, environmental, and financial—to help educators create sustainable wellness practices. Through workshops and her private wellness community, she provides strategies that connect brain health to holistic well-being, enabling educators to thrive both personally and professionally.Takeaways: As educators, it is imperative to acknowledge and adapt to the cultural dynamics of the environment in which we teach. The manner in which we communicate significantly influences our overall well-being and mental health. Implementing a brief daily practice of mindfulness and breathing can substantially enhance one's emotional resilience and clarity. Teachers must recognise their own wellness needs in order to effectively support their students' learning experiences. Pursuing one's authentic aspirations, irrespective of external validation, is essential for personal fulfilment and professional growth. The holistic approach to wellness encompasses emotional, physical, and mental health, which are interdependent in fostering a thriving educational environment.
