Sarah saw an old clip from the Ruins season of the Challenge with Susie and Sarah together, and we discuss why the boys bullied Sarah. We learn why time seems to be speeding up for everyone, and what you can do to slow it down. Sarah explains the strange nature of the Kardashians editing and why she enjoys vacuous movies and tv while Susie, who is a big fan of superficiality normally is a documentary junkie. We discuss why elephant seals drop like a stone in the ocean when they're sleeping, and why humans are far more vulnerable when they snooze each night. Susie finally watched Jaws a half century after it's premiere, and she has some thoughts about the "f*cked up" plot, the illogical title, and questions about the sequels. This is the belated movie review no one asked for, but everyone needs.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Right now, you can stack our code BRAINCANDY at https://cozyearth.com on top of their sitewide sale - giving you up to 40% off in savings.

On today's episode, we're talking with investigative journalist Ross Halperin about his new book Bear Witness: The Pursuit of Justice in a Violent Land. Ross takes us on a fascinating journey from academic research on impunity—the unsolved homicides plaguing American cities—to Honduras, where he discovers an unexpected solution. We dig into why the US solve rate for murders hovers around 60% compared to over 90% in other wealthy democracies, and spoiler alert: it's not about more surveillance or militarization. The real issue is witness testimony, and that requires trust. Ross introduces us to Kurt and Carlos, whose charity work proves that community trust, built through years of genuine service and investment, is the key to bridging the gap between communities and law enforcement. We talk about how faith animates their work without being preachy, the humility required to stay open to criticism, and why top-down solutions often miss what actually moves people to speak up. It's a conversation about what it means to bear witness—not just to tell a story, but to show up and be trusted. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Ross Halperin is an investigative journalist and author of Bear Witness: The Pursuit of Justice in a Violent Land. A Harvard University graduate, he worked on Wall Street before transitioning to research on criminal justice, where he worked under Mark A.R. Kleiman, one of the world's leading criminal-justice scholars. His interest in unsolved homicides and systemic violence grew from this research, which revealed that the United States has dramatically lower murder solve rates than comparable wealthy democracies. That research led Halperin to a presentation by Kurt Biehl at a summit organized by criminologist David Kennedy, sparking a years-long investigation into how one community in Central America tackled violence through trust-building and faith. Bear Witness is the result of his embedded reporting in Honduras, exploring how real change happens not through top-down mandates, but through patient commitment to community relationships. Halperin's own commitment to community building is evident in his work closer to home as well—he led a campaign to reconstruct the library in his hometown, reflecting his belief in the power of institutions and gathering spaces. ⁠UPCOMING ONLINE ADVENT CLASS w/ Diana Butler Bass⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join us for a transformative four-week Advent journey exploring how the four gospels speak their own revolutionary word against empire—both in their ancient context under Roman occupation and for our contemporary world shaped by capitalism, militarism, and nationalism.  This course invites you into an alternative calendar and rhythm.

Community: The Hidden Engine Behind Every Successful Cash PT Clinic In this episode, Doc Danny Matta shares the single theme that stood out after spending a full week embedded inside four different cash-based and boutique rehab businesses in Washington, D.C.: community. He breaks down why community involvement is the ultimate competitive advantage, how it fuels long-term growth, and why you can't fake it—or skip it—if you want a thriving practice. Quick Ask If this episode challenges the way you think about growing your practice, share it with another clinician who needs to hear it—and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare it. Episode Summary Documentation burden solved: AI scribes like Clair eliminate notes so you stay present with patients. The D.C. trip: Danny spent full days inside four thriving clinics, observing their operations, patients, and culture. One takeaway: Every successful clinic shared the same backbone—deep community involvement. Community is earned: You can't fake participation; you must show up consistently and authentically. Clinician examples: Pilates studios, running groups, boutique fitness hubs—all thriving because owners live inside the communities they serve. Your niche = your tribe: If you're not plugged into your niche's world, someone else will be. Give more than you take: Communities reward contributors, not extractors. Lessons & Takeaways Community drives retention: Patients stick when they feel connected—not just treated. You must participate: Go to races, gyms, events, tournaments; be where your niche actually lives. You can't fake interest: If you hate running, don't try to be a running PT—hire someone who loves it. Your presence builds reputation: When people see you consistently, trust builds effortlessly. Local involvement compounds: Over years, you become a recognizable part of your city's health ecosystem. Mindset & Motivation Play the long game: Community isn't built in 30 days—it's built through years of showing up. Pick what you enjoy: Your energy is higher and your authenticity obvious when you actually like the niche you serve. Give first, receive later: The tribe takes care of contributors. Local roots matter: Even if you grew up moving around (like Danny), you can build community intentionally. Community is a moat: No amount of marketing can replace genuine involvement. Pro Tips for Clinic Owners Use an AI scribe: Tools like Clair free up hours so you can deepen relationships, not write notes. Engage where your niche lives: Join their gyms, events, groups, classes—don't just "network." Participate. Host or join local events: Run groups, wellness fairs, meetups, workshops, boutique fitness partnerships. Be a connector: Bring other local business owners together—become the hub. Hire for gaps: If you don't love a niche, hire clinicians who genuinely do. Notable Quotes "You can't fake community. People know when you're genuinely involved versus when you're just showing up for patients." "If you pour into your community, your community will take care of you." "Some of these clinics are like local celebrities in their niche—because they've earned it." "Pick the community you enjoy. You'll never stick with something you secretly hate." Action Items Identify one niche you naturally enjoy being around. Join three of their events or classes this month. Start conversations—not pitches—with people in your niche community. Partner with one local gym, coach, or instructor. Evaluate your schedule and offload notes with Clair so you can spend more time engaging locally.

Molly Patrick teaches us about creating a values-driven business through genuine connection, radical honesty, and community that sustains itself without ads, gimmicks, or burnout. Molly is the co-founder of Clean Food Dirty Girl, a global community known for its honest, inclusive approach to plant-based living. Raised off-grid in New Mexico, Molly learned early to value simplicity, hard work, and humor - principles that still shape her work today. A lifelong vegetarian and vegan since 2010, she has been alcohol- and cigarette-free since 2015 and now lives on the island of Maui, leading a thriving movement that helps people eat more plants and live more intentionally. For over a decade, Molly has built a thriving global community around eating more plants, not through viral hacks or paid ads, but through heart, storytelling, and trust. She has turned authenticity into strategy and connection into sustainability. In this conversation, she and Megan dive deep into what makes communities stick, how to serve before you sell, and why writing to your audience like a friend will always outperform clever marketing. Key points discussed include: Build trust, not traffic: Community outlasts algorithms every time. Show up human: People connect with your truth, not your polish. Serve before you sell: Generosity creates loyalty that no ad can buy. Email is still gold: Talk to your audience like a best friend, not a brand. Hold it lightly: You can't force connection. Create space for it. Listen and evolve: Feedback is a gift, not a critique. Sustain through simplicity: When you remove the fluff, your message shines. Community over clicks: Real relationships build the most resilient businesses. Connect with Molly Patrick Website | Instagram

In this solo episode, Shannon Jamail gets real about something every retreat leader needs to hear: failure isn't the enemy - it's proof that you're in the game. If you're not failing, you're not trying hard enough. Shannon dives into why "falling short" - whether it's your finances, your workshop, your attendance, or your execution - isn't something to avoid, it's something to learn from. You can hire the best coach, join the smartest program, and learn from the pros… and you'll still make mistakes. The difference? You'll fail faster and smarter. Shannon also shares how community is the real secret weapon for success - and how the Retreat Industry Forum is designed to bring that support, connection, and collective wisdom together for retreat hosts ready to grow. Key Takeaways If you're not failing, you're not stretching yourself enough. Failure doesn't mean your retreat "flopped" — it means something fell short and gave you data. The biggest mistake is waiting on the sidelines instead of doing the thing. Coaching and programs can help minimize expensive mistakes, but you'll still fail — that's how you grow. Community is what turns failure into forward momentum — and that's exactly what the Retreat Industry Forumis all about.

During a press conference with Mohammed bin Salman, Trump erupted at a reporter who questioned the ethics of his family business working with Saudi Arabia, MBS's role in the killing of a journalist, and the newly released Epstein files.

SeaJay, Erika, and Deborah get real about the joys (and surprises) of aging because yes, our bodies are changing, and no, we aren’t ready. Having a twin going through it too is helpful, but don't worry if you don’t have one; ChatGPT is basically the next best thing (or not). Stick around for a powerful message from Becky Johnson on the kind of boldness that only comes through prayer. She challenges us to let go of distraction, resentment, and comparison—and return to a life rooted in prayer and power. Follow along on social media for new episodes, updates, or to connect with us.

John 1:20-39,

In today's raw and honest episode, I sit down with my girl Chalene Johnson, who's currently recovering from age-affirming surgery in Miami to talk about something we both feel urgently needs to be addressed:

Acts 9-10

Loneliness seems to be part of what it means to be a relational being. Does that mean loneliness can never really be “solved”? Here's one way to think about loneliness: As a gap between relational expectation and social reality—something that signals our essentially relational, reciprocal nature as human beings.This episode is part 6 of a series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.In this reflective conclusion to the series, Macie Bridge and Ryan McAnnally-Linz explore loneliness not as a pathology to solve but as a universal, creaturely experience that reveals our longing for relationship. Drawing on insights from conversations throughout the series, they consider how loneliness emerges in the gap between what we desire relationally and what we actually have, and why this gap might be intrinsic to being human. They discuss solitude as a vital space for discernment, self-understanding, and listening for God; how risk is inherent to relationships; why the church holds unique potential for embodied community; and how even small interactions with neighbors and strangers can meet real needs. Together they reflect on grief, social isolation, resentment, vulnerability, and the invitation to turn loneliness into attentiveness—to God, to ourselves, and to our neighbors, human and non-human alike.Episode Highlights“Loneliness is just baked into our creaturely lives.”“There really is no solution to loneliness—and also that's okay.”“We invite a certain level of risk because we invite another person closer to our own human limits.”“There's no blanket solution. We are all experiencing this thing, but we are all experiencing it differently.”“I realized I could be a gift to her, and she could be a gift to me, even in that small moment.”About Macie BridgeMacie Bridge is Operations Coordinator for the Yale Center for Faith & Culture. Macie is originally from the small town of Groton, Massachusetts, where she was raised in the United Church of Christ. As an undergraduate at Trinity College in Hartford, CT, Macie studied English literature, creative writing, and religious studies. She spent a year in Chapel Hill, North Carolina with the Episcopal Service Corps after receiving her B.A. There, she served as Events & Communications Coordinator for L'Arche North Carolina—an emerging L'Arche community, and therefore an incredible “crash course” into the nonprofit world.About Ryan McAnnally-LinzRyan McAnnally-Linz is Associate Director of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture and a theologian focusing on flourishing, meaning, and the moral life. He is co-author of Public Faith in Action and The Home of God with Miroslav Volf, and Life Worth Living: A Guide to What Matters Most with Miroslav Volf and Matt Croasmun.Show NotesLoneliness as Creaturely ConditionLoneliness as “baked into our creaturely lives,” not a sign of brokenness or failureThe “gap between what we want and what we have” in relationshipsLoneliness as a universal human experience across ages and contextsSolitude and DiscernmentSolitude as a place to listen more clearly to God and oneselfTime alone clarifies intuition, vocation, and identity.Solitude shapes self-knowledge outside societal expectations.Community, Church, and EmbodimentChurches can be embodied spaces of connection yet still feel lonely.Hospitality requires more than “hi”; it requires digging deeper into personal encounter.Embodied church life resists technological comforts that reduce vulnerability.Grief, Risk, and VulnerabilityDistinguishing grief-loneliness from social-isolation lonelinessRelationships inherently involve risk, limits, and potential hurt.Opening oneself to others requires relinquishing entitlement.Everyday Encounters and Ecological AttentionSmall moments with neighbors (like taking a stranger's photo) can be meaningful.Loneliness can signal attention toward creaturely neighbors—birds, bugs, landscapes.Turning loneliness outward can widen our capacity for care.Production NotesThis podcast featured Macie BridgeEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Alexa Rollow, Emily Brookfield, and Hope ChunA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

When Erica Kuhl joined Salesforce as employee #176, nothing about her role or title suggested she would go on to build one of the most influential customer communities in SaaS history. Given a broken website, no roadmap, no team, she hacked together the first Salesforce Community with duct-taped technologies, raw conviction, and a fierce belief that customers needed a place to help each other.That grassroots experiment eventually grew into a 17 million-member global community, became a blueprint for digital customer success, and reshaped the way enterprise SaaS companies think about adoption, retention, and product feedback loops.Today, Erica is EVP & GM at Gainsight, leading community, education, and in-app product experience—and shaping the emerging category of Digital Customer Success.This episode is a masterclass in community-powered retention, scrappy innovation, and how one person can build an entirely new motion inside an organization long before the market knows it needs it.---Timestamps0:00 – Preview 0:58 – Meet Erica Kuhl: EVP at Gainsight & Former Employee #176 at Salesforce3:39 – What Early Salesforce Adoption Actually Looked Like6:25 – Teaching Admins Before Admins Existed9:40 – Why Erica Pitched a Community Before “Community” Was a Thing11:25 – Building the First Salesforce Community13:43 – Scaling Without Support19:30 – How Community Became a Strategic Retention Lever 24:44 – Defining Digital Customer Success26:35 – Where to Start: Crawl–Walk–Run for Digital CS30:25 – Why Community Multiplies GRR31:28 – Closing Thoughts---What You'll Learn- How the first modern SaaS community was built—from scratch, without buy-in- Why peer-to-peer engagement scales support, adoption, and product feedback- How to tie community engagement directly to retention (and why it's essential)- Why COVID reshaped the priority of customer marketing and always-on programs- How community, education, and in-app experiences converge into Digital CS- Where digital CS programs should start and how to avoid fragmented experiences- The cultural mindset needed to build community programs that actually survive- Practical tactics for early-stage community building: seeding, puppeteering, protecting, and aligning---Check out the Key Takeaways & Transcripts: https://www.gainsight.com/presents/series/unchurned/---Where to Find Erica:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericakuhl/Podcast: In Before the LockWhere to Find Josh: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jschachter/---Resources Mentioned:* Gainsight Community* Brian Oblinger's Community Strategy Academy* Skilljar * Salesforce Community

The belief in separation is a fundamental issue that contributes to ignorance and suffering. Recognizing our interconnectedness could lead to a more harmonious existence. This idea is deeply explored in the podcast episode featuring host Aaron Della Vedova and guest Dillon Forte, who discuss the implications of viewing reality through the lens of separation versus interconnectedness. Dillon is a renowned tattoo artist located in Austin, TX, and is credited with helping to launch the geometric tattoo movement in the U.S. in the early 2010s. The conversation blends art, spirituality, and the transformative power of tattoos, making for an engaging and thought-provoking episode for lovers of both art and deeper contemplation. Whether you're an art lover, a tattoo enthusiast, or someone intrigued by the nature of reality, this episode promises engaging conversations and thought-provoking ideas. Chat Highlights: [00:03:01] Measurement of reality through geometry. [00:05:44] Ancient origins of the flower.. [00:12:25] Technology versus nature awakening. [00:21:09] Belief in inseparability from nature. [00:31:45] Maya, the Grand Illusion. [00:37:36] Simulation theory as illusion. [00:44:46] AI's impact on humanity. [00:54:17] Tattoo robots and human artistry. [01:02:05] Strategic relocation for safety. [01:12:02] Living an honest life. [01:19:12] Experimental tattooing techniques. [01:24:50] Community support in tattoo culture. [01:27:38] Art of giving and receiving. [01:30:56] Tattooing in Austin, Texas. Quotes: "I think what would save the world would be simply our release of the false belief of separation." "In all of nature, there is a fundamental order, a structure behind all of it." "Is that us offloading consciousness into the thing that we can travel the universe with because we can't do it in bodies like this?" "We don't need additives. We need to remove what's unnecessary, not just keep filling."  "I think the false belief of inanimate separateness is the root of ignorance, which is the root of suffering." "Maya the Grand Illusion, we have been talking about this, we are aware of this, not new. Reality being an illusion. We know it's an illusion." "The big bang is the breath of Brahma." "It's definitely a paradigm shift, and maybe not bad. Maybe we're supposed to have machines doing stuff for us so we can make music and write poetry and follow our passions and our dreams." "Prepared as much as anyone can be, mentally, physically, spiritually, as much as you can be. And then after that, drop the fear and just live." "If your heart is heavier than the feather, your heart is fed to the crocodile deity, devoured for eternity in all damnation." "If you focus on love, light, truth, all the good stuff, we shall persevere." "You've got to start looking out there at the people that are getting tattooed, and you've got to find a way to find out what their needs are, what they want, and find a way to fill it."

A Pablo, viendo el final de su vida, dar sus últimos consejos. a) Que predique y siempre tratar con las personas difíciles. b) Como él termina bien su carrera – no importa como comenzamos sino como terminamos. 2.

Send us a textWhat if the cliché about rolling stones is wrong—and motion can grow moss? We sit down with Mercy, a veteran, military nurse, coach, and unmistakable force of nature, to unpack how change, faith, and community can turn chaos into clarity. From acing the ASVAB to laying bricks in steel-toed boots, she went from nuclear-engineering hopes to civil engineering reality, proving that prestige doesn't equal purpose and grit is a decision you make daily.Mercy shares the mental model that keeps her steady: every event has two levers—what you can control and what you can't. That simple rule, learned in childhood and sharpened in uniform, becomes a survival tool for boot camp, career pivots, and the “single wife” paradox of military spouse life. She opens up about managing information during deployments, protecting her husband's focus while rebuilding order at home, and the art of expectation management when a parent returns. The takeaway is practical and tender: steward timing, protect connection, and act where your agency matters.We also explore time as both transmission and revelation. Some experiences can only happen in their season; others make sense only in hindsight. Mercy's approach blends Stoic clarity with active faith, echoing the regret minimization lens: make choices today that your future self will be proud to remember. She lays out a playbook for community as a strategy—finding a YMCA and a church before you even unpack—so isolation never gets a foothold. Parenting through absence, reintegration with care, and keeping discipline secondary to connection round out her family blueprint.If you're navigating a transition, wrestling with control, or rebuilding after a move, this conversation offers a map. Tap play for resilient mindset shifts, marriage and parenting strategies for military families, and a grounded philosophy you can apply anywhere.

What We Are Sipping On: 2022 Chardonnay, Parra Wine Co. Episode Description In this powerful and heartfelt episode of The Wine & Chisme Podcast, Jessica sits down with Vanessa Vigil, Chief Marketing Officer at nglMitú, a leading digital media brand dedicated to elevating Latiné voices and culture. Vanessa shares her personal journey into media, the evolution of nglMitú, and the responsibility and joy that come with telling authentic stories from across the Latiné diaspora. From combating stereotypes to celebrating our community's joy, creativity, and complexity, Vanessa breaks down how nglMitú uses storytelling to shift narratives in mainstream media — and why representation behind the scenes matters just as much as what appears on screen. Grab your glass and settle in — this conversation is honest, empowering, and full of the cariño and cultura you expect from Wine & Chisme. Key Takeaways Authentic storytelling is a responsibility, not a trend. Vanessa shares why nglMitú centers lived experience, community insight, and nuance in every project. Diversity within the Latiné community must be acknowledged and celebrated. One narrative can't represent an entire diaspora — and nglMitú reflects that through multiple creators and voices. Representation behind the scenes matters. Hiring Latiné creatives, writers, and decision-makers directly impacts the stories that reach the public. Community is a superpower in media. nglMitú's success stems from building trust and creating content that resonates across generations. Brands and partners play a role. Vanessa explains how collaborative opportunities can elevate Latiné creators instead of stereotyping them. Latiné joy is revolutionary. Telling stories that highlight our humor, brilliance, resilience, and love shifts culture more than people realize.

From Restraint to Ruin - The Birth of the Bombing WarAt the dawn of World War II in 1939, a fragile consensus existed among the warring powers. Spurred by an appeal from President Roosevelt, leaders like Neville Chamberlain and even Hitler gave public undertakings to abstain from the horror of aerial attacks on civilians. There was a genuine, if naïve, belief that the looming conflict could be "humanised," and that the bomber would be restricted to purely military targets.But how did this initial restraint crumble into the devastating strategic bombing campaigns that would define the war? In this episode, we delve into Richard Overy's "The Bombing War" to explore the complex factors that shaped Britain's approach to aerial warfare in the crucial early years of 1939-1942.Join us as we uncover the story of a nation caught between its self-image as a "civilised" power and the brutal necessities of total war. We'll examine why RAF Bomber Command was initially held back, not just by political and legal niceties, but by its own operational unreadiness. Discover how the unique, independent institutional culture of Bomber Command—a force designed solely to attack—fostered a doctrine that would eventually target the enemy's home front, leading to the destruction of cities like Hamburg, Cologne, and Dresden under the infamous command of Sir Arthur "Bomber" Harris.If you liked this episode, listen to: https://shows.acast.com/explaininghistory/episodes/the-politics-of-rearmament-in-britain-1936Go Deeper: Visit our website at www.explaininghistory.org for articles and detailed explorations of the topics discussed.▸ Join the Conversation: Our community of history enthusiasts discusses episodes, shares ideas, and continues the conversation.

When the holiday season ends, it's easy to shove everything back into bins and call it done. But what if this year you took a few extra minutes to put things away with purpose — and left yourself set up for peace, not overwhelm, when next season rolls around?   In this episode, I'm sharing five simple steps to help you declutter the leftover holiday chaos, reset your spaces, and start the new year with more peace, order, and intention. You'll learn how to: • Organize decorations, lights, and ornaments so they're easy to unpack next year • Sort and store cards, keepsakes, and photos without losing their meaning • Simplify your holiday storage systems so Christian home organization feels lighter, not overwhelming • Reset the spaces and routines that carried the weight of the holiday hustle • Reflect with purpose on what worked this season — and what needs to change heading into 2026 This conversation is all about creating space for a fresh start in your mind, in your heart — clearing the visual and mental clutter so your home, routines, and heart are aligned with what God is calling you into next. And I can't wait to hear what that may be. Praying for you this holiday season!

How many calories does someone actually consume over a 240-mile foot race, and what's happening in the body during the days it takes to feel human again? And what do Oatmeal Creme Pies and Nutter Butters have to do with it?Sports Dietitian Becca Rick returns to walk us through her second Moab 240, sharing what shifted in her training, nutrition, and race prep that helped her cut eight hours off her stop time from last year. We dig into her fluid and calorie intake during the race, how her gut handled the highs and lows, and what her early “energy burn” data revealed in the four days after finishing.
