What can we learn about intimacy from a man who's spent years listening to women?I was curious to find out.My guest for this episode is George Goulburn, a professional male companion whose work has given him a rare opportunity to hear women speak openly about intimacy, desire, relationships and the stories they carry about themselves.He's only my second ever male guest on TURNED ON. Not because I was looking for a man's opinion on women, but because I was curious about the patterns he'd noticed, the conversations he'd had time and time again, and the perspectives he was willing to share that might help women see themselves - and their intimate experiences - a little differently.In this conversation, we explore:what has surprised him most after years of listening to womenSome of the stories women tell themselves about their bodies - and another, male, perspective to considerWhy communication is one of the most important ingredients for intimacyThe role safety, trust and slowing down can play in creating deeper connectionWhy uniqueness can be far more attractive than perfectionWhat helps women feel more comfortable in their own skinThe messages many women rarely hear - but perhaps need toThe one thing he'd love more men in midlife to understandWhether you're partnered, dating or happily single, I hope this conversation leaves you feeling a little more seen, a little more hopeful, and perhaps a little more curious.During our conversation, George mentions the film Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, starring Emma Thompson.Connect with GeorgeWebsite: https://www.georgegoulburn.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/georgegoulburnofficial/If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love to stay connected.✨ Visit www.pennyvandersluys.com to discover my coaching, online programs, offerings and the Wonder Women Club, or join my email community for inspiration and upcoming events.

After several chapters of prophecies of destruction at the hands of the Assyrians, Micah concludes his book with a promise of restoration for the people of Israel. Although there are some differences between the Masoretic text on which the old Testament of our English Bibles is based and the Septuagint, which was translated from Hebrew into Greek by about 200 BC, the overall message is the same: God will chastise His people for their behavior, but He will bless the remnant who repent and return to Him.

In this episode of Farm Companion, we're sharing the story behind our new 370-acre hunting lease in western Wisconsin and why we believe it has the potential to become a special property. From hanging our first trail cameras and breaking down the terrain to discussing access and habitat, we're walking through our first impressions and what has us excited for the season ahead. We also cover our camera placement strategy, our expectations for the deer herd, and why this farm could hunt much bigger than its acreage suggests.

What gives someone the strength to endure unimaginable suffering without losing hope? In this inspiring episode of Your Radical Truth, Deacon Margaret Mary O'Connor welcomes Australian author and retired physician Kate Clinch to explore the extraordinary life of Eileen O'Connor, Australia's second saint-in-waiting. Born with a debilitating illness that left her in constant pain, Eileen transformed her suffering into a life of compassion, co-founding Our Lady's Nurses for the Poor and dedicating herself to serving society's most vulnerable. Kate also shares her own deeply personal journey, including a profound near-death experience and her battle with stomach cancer while writing her debut novel, Every Inch a Saint. What began as historical research became a source of strength, hope, and spiritual companionship during one of the most difficult seasons of her life. Together, Margaret Mary and Kate explore faith, resilience, mysticism, miracles, the relationship between science and spirituality, and the enduring legacy of a woman whose courage continues to inspire more than a century after her death. If you've ever wondered how suffering can lead to purpose, or how faith can sustain us through life's greatest challenges, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

July 15, 2026: Andreessen Horowitz's argues that AI is not simply replacing workers, it is turning every worker into a manager of agents. Then I get into Bank of America's claim that AI is already showing ROI in its earnings, and why I'm skeptical of how much of that efficiency gain can really be attributed to AI. Finally, I look at OpenAI's first physical device, a screen-free AI companion reportedly designed to feel alive, and why that matters for the future of work.

Claude Mythos scrambled American AI policy, leaving us with what Dean Ball calls a de facto involuntary licensing regime from the administration that promised us the opposite. Zhipu's cofounder says China will have a Mythos-class model before the end of the year; IAPS says February 2027. Either way, Beijing is about to face down the same question, but unlike Washington, it already has a form to fill out. Guests: Kevin Xu of Interconnected. Matt Sheehan, a fellow at the Carnegie Endowment. We discuss… Why China's answer to Mythos will look like Glasswing — but started by the state, not a lab, with government ministries and central SOEs first in line Whether the CAC's content-testing regime can absorb cyber, and why a Chinese lab dropping a frontier model without a heads-up would be "very bold and self-destructive behavior" The mixed signals on open source — a Reuters report on MOFCOM and NDRC weighing export controls on model weights, versus Minimax and Zhipu founders publicly doubling down, with Xi's WAIC speech as the tiebreaker Whether open weights even matter when running a frontier model adversarially requires a datacenter, and the case that lighting the dark park makes it safer What the US and China can actually agree on — non-state actors, eval methodology sharing, and why labor displacement lessons don't travel Companion-app regulation flowing from Sacramento and Albany to Beijing, the AI policy brain drain into the labs, and whether Sam Altman's five percent is American state capitalism or just a Trump thing song: https://suno.com/s/xZE1pIKrVBtCfTBO Learn more about your ad choices.

Obsession — who hasn't seen it at this point? Curry Barker's $750K horror film has made over $400 million, minted a star in Inde Navarrette, and started a fight about what to even call this genre. This week we dig into the BTS trivia, the scenes we can't stop thinking about, and the Indian censor board's missing 36 seconds. Then we get into nice guy horror itself: the worst Pokémon evolution you've ever heard, Bollywood's hypermasculine inverse, and the Indian remake of Obsession that lives in our heads.

The Bible foretells a mysterious character called “the Assyrian” who seems to have a role in the end times war against Israel. Who is he?  What's odd is the Hebrew text of Micah 5:5–6 (and Isaiah 14:25, 31:8, and 52:4) lacks the definite article “the.” In other words, there is no “the Assyrian” in the Old Testament.  The Hebrew word Assur can referred to Assyria, its capital city, or its chief deity, who was the equivalent of the Sumerian/Babylonian god Enlil (called Ellil in Akkad), El of Canaan, Dagon of the Philistines, and Milcom of Ammon—and thus Molech, the netherworld god who demanded the sacrifice of children from his followers.  We believe the passages in Micah are an “already but not yet” prophecy, referring to the imminent conquest of the northern kingdom of Israel by Assyria, which occurred during Micah's lifetime in 722 BC, and a future return of Assur in the end times as the Destroyer, Abaddon/Apollyon, who is released from the abyss for five months to torment those without the seal of God on their foreheads.  Sharon's niece, Sarah Sachleben, has been battling stage 4 bowel cancer and the medical bills are piling up.

"Did you know that being homeless is really expensive?" That's the sentence one Family Promise Winchester client said to Chris Brigante recently — and it's the question that anchors this follow-up episode of The Valley Today. Host Janet Michael welcomes Chris Brigante, Executive Director of Family Promise Winchester, back to the show for the deep-dive conversation she promised at the end of their last recording: what actually happens when a family loses their home and ends up living in a motel. Chris and Janet walk through one hypothetical family — mom with two part-time jobs, dad in a factory job, a toddler in daycare, and an elementary-schooler — and follow them through every consequence of an eviction: the storage costs, the $1,800–$2,000 monthly motel bill (nearly doubling to $4,000 for a family with three kids under the four-person occupancy limit), the food economy that forces you to eat out for every meal because you have no fridge, no stove, no freezer, and no cabinet space. The 21-day cycle-out that many people don't know exists (motels legally shuffle guests to prevent them from becoming tenants). The homework problem when your third-grader has nowhere quiet to work and can't invite friends over. The address problem when you're applying for a job or a driver's license. The Scarlet Letter of an eviction record that follows you into your next lease application, complete with double security deposits. And the compounding, invisible cost of shame — which Chris identifies as one of the biggest barriers to a family getting themselves out. The conversation closes with the math that makes Family Promise's work so cost-effective (about $500 per child in direct assistance for permanent, stable housing) and a genuine ask: to donors, to would-be landlords open to working with a vetted family, and to anyone who's ever been quietly judgmental about people living in motels — reconsider what you thought you knew. THE INVISIBLE COSTS OF LIVING IN A MOTEL A quick catalog, drawn from this episode, of the expenses and impacts that pile up on a family staying in a residence motel: DIRECT MONETARY COSTS • $1,800–$2,000/month for a family of four in one room (often more than the rent that got them here) • Up to $4,000/month if the family exceeds the 4-person occupancy limit and needs two rooms • Storage unit fees for all the belongings that don't fit • Restaurant meals for every meal, every day (no fridge, no stove, no freezer) • Laundromat costs, plus transportation to get there • Ride-shares or delivery fees for basic groceries and appointments • Some motels: even toilet paper is a paid add-on • Childcare during work hours (with no car and no support network to fall back on) INDIRECT AND INVISIBLE COSTS • Time — 2 to 3 hours a day just getting around town on foot or by bus • The 21-day cycle-out — packing everything up every three weeks to move to a new room or motel • No mailing address for job applications, drivers' licenses, or utility accounts • No Wi-Fi in some motels — cutting off job applications, online classes, and even phone service if internet-dependent • Loss of privacy — no separate space for a sick child, no quiet homework spot, no adult conversation • Safety exposure — smoke, noise, addiction, domestic violence audible through walls, a single front window as your only barrier MENTAL HEALTH IMPACTS • On children — instability itself (not the homelessness) is what harms development; the child knows it's not safe or permanent • On school-age children — hard to focus in class, can't do homework, embarrassed to be honest with peers • On parents — the shame of the situation itself becomes a barrier to problem-solving • On the family unit — crisis mode makes rational, step-by-step planning nearly impossible HOW TO HELP FAMILY PROMISE WINCHESTER • Donate directly at familypromisewinchester.org — the donation link is on the front page • Recurring monthly giving is the most valuable — Family Promise can predict and commit • Any dollar helps: about $500 in direct assistance per child gets a family stably housed • Consider in-kind donations for move-in kits (shower curtains, hooks, toasters, basic household items) • Landlords: reach out to Chris directly. Family Promise families are vetted, financially counseled, and Family Promise stays involved for 90+ days after move-in. • Donate clothing to Winchester CCAP — Family Promise picks up outfits there weekly for their families • Contact Chris directly for a coffee and conversation FAMILY PROMISE WINCHESTER'S SERVICE AREA • Winchester City • Frederick County • Clarke County • Warren County (Shenandoah County is served by a separate Family Promise chapter — the whole region is covered.)

We're halfway through the year.Are you ahead, behind, on track, or honestly not sure?Most independent consultants answer that question with a feeling.Behind because the pipeline feels out of their control.Ahead because they had a few strong months that created relief.On track because they've got a longer-term contract.Or they avoid the question completely because they never committed to a goal in the first place.But your feeling is not the same thing as your business reality.In this episode, Melisa Liberman walks you through how to check your mid-year feeling against the facts, then decide what to do next based on where you actually stand.You'll hear how to identify which mid-year position you're actually in, and how to build the right second-half plan from there if: - You have “goal amnesia”.- You have goal avoidance and never set a goal.- You're behind, and tempted to reduce your goal.- You're ahead, and not sure whether to stay the course, raise the goal, or something else - You're on track, and potentially at risk of sabotaging yourself without realizing it.This episode will help you stop using pressure, avoidance, or wishful thinking as your mid-year plan. You'll leave with a clearer picture of where your consulting business really stands and what to do next so the second half of the year is not driven by panic, relief, or guessing. Timestamps for Key Moments:[00:00] Why planning for the second half matters more than most consultants realize[00:03] Agenda overview[00:04] Companion resource: Quarterly Plan for Consultants at icquarterlyplan.com [00:05] The five scenarios: where independent consultants land at mid-year [00:07] Do the math before anything else [00:11] Scenario 1: You don't know where you stand [00:15] Scenario 2: You never set a goal [00:20] Scenario 3: You're behind [00:26] Scenario 4: You're ahead [00:29] Scenario 5: You're on track [00:31] The 5 Steps to put this episode into actionResources Mentioned:Companion Resource: Quarterly Plan for Consultants.

Summer travel is in full swing, and this week Ed is joined by Julian Kheel to cover everything from Caribbean resorts to airline loyalty strategy. Julian shares his recent stay at Secrets St. Lucia, including why the Preferred Club upgrade is worth considering and how the property has held up following Hyatt's recent award pricing changes. The conversation then shifts to a mid-year elite status check. Ed is once again on pace for top-tier status across multiple airlines and Hyatt, while Julian explains why he's largely stopped chasing elite status in favor of maximizing credit card rewards and transferable value. They also discuss the Department of Transportation's proposal to roll back all-in airline pricing requirements, why both believe the move would make airfare shopping more confusing for travelers, and whether loyalty programs are doing enough to justify increasingly expensive premium credit cards. Plus, a look at new Points Path Flex Alerts, Slack community benefits, and why grab-and-go airport lounges may not be the customer win they're marketed to be.

Already listened to The Sound of Summer? This practice is for you. Several listeners asked for a version with fewer words and more space to simply breathe, chant, and practice. So here it is. Recorded live beneath the Colorado sky, you'll hear birdsong, fresh mountain air, and the gentle sounds of summer as we move through the traditional seed sounds of the seven chakras together. There is very little guidance; just enough to help you settle before we begin. Whether you choose to make the sounds aloud or simply receive their vibration in silence, this is an invitation to slow down, return to your body, and let awareness deepen one breath at a time. The chakra seed sounds: • Root — LAM • Sacral — VAM • Solar Plexus — RAM • Heart — YAM • Throat — HAM • Third Eye — OM • Crown — Silence If this is your first experience with the practice, I recommend listening first to The Sound of Summer: A Guided Chakra Meditation, where I introduce each center and offer more detailed guidance. May these sounds become companions you can return to throughout the season. Much love, soul sibling.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Ekaterina Matveeva, founder of Amolingua and Lingo Plus and co-organizer of AI roundtables with EcoCivilization. The conversation covers a wide range of AI-related topics, from the cultural implications of AI development across different countries to the evolution of Ekaterina's perspective on artificial intelligence—moving from initial anger and fear in 2023 to active participation in AI model design by 2025. They discuss the importance of including diverse cultural perspectives in AI training, the cross-country differences in AI regulation (comparing Argentina's human-out-of-the-loop approach to Europe's cautious stance), and the critical question of which sectors need humans in the decision-making loop. The discussion ventures into brain-computer interfaces and Neuralink, examining what happens when technology is removed and questioning whether healthy humans should pursue such enhancements, before touching on the future of personal AI models and the preservation of indigenous wisdom in AI training. You can connect with Ekaterina on LinkedIn to follow her work on AI, education, and cross-cultural technology development.Timestamps00:00 Stewart welcomes Ekaterina Matveeva, founder of Amolingua and Lingo Plus, discussing her work organizing AI roundtables with EcoCivilization05:00 Ekaterina shares her evolution from anger toward AI in 2023 to realizing collaboration potential, emphasizing importance of multicultural perspectives in AI development and training10:00 Discussion of Argentina's new AI liability bill creating human-out-of-loop systems, contrasting with Europe's human-in-loop requirements and different global regulatory approaches15:00 Safety considerations in robotics and AI development, comparing industrial automation standards across regions and discussing Pentagon's use of Anthropic with Palantir systems20:00 Exploring brain-computer interfaces and Neuralink developments, questioning enhancement versus necessity and examining motivations behind cognitive augmentation technologies25:00 Debating human capabilities beyond cognitive function, discussing nervous system, emotions, psychosomatics, and whether brain generates or receives thoughts30:00 Examining societal divisions from enhancement technologies, referencing Avatar and Years and Years series, questioning benefits for healthy individuals versus disability applications35:00 Discussing technological gaps between enhanced and standard populations, concerns about corporate seduction into cybernetic modifications, and lack of long-term safety studies40:00 Questioning who frames AI conversations and trains models, exploring dominant worldviews embedded in AI systems and Vatican-Anthropic collaboration implications45:00 Stewart shares mistakes with Facebook biometric data and building personal AI infrastructure, emphasizing importance of controlling your own models and data50:00 Analyzing whether massive data collection actually improves AI training, questioning if user conversations become buried garbage rather than meaningful model improvements55:00 Ekaterina discusses plans for organizing more roundtables, integrating indigenous wisdom into AI training, and connecting on LinkedIn for future collaborationsKey Insights1. Ekaterina Matveeva's perspective on AI has evolved significantly since 2023, moving from initial anger and fear about AI's impact on education and translation work to becoming actively involved in AI development and training. She realized that instead of resisting AI advancement, she could participate in shaping it by contributing her expertise in education, language, and cross-cultural communication. This shift represents a broader realization that diverse participation in AI development is crucial for creating more versatile and culturally sensitive models rather than allowing a monopoly of values from any single country or culture.2. The conversation highlights fundamental differences in AI regulation across regions, with Europe implementing human-in-the-loop requirements and comprehensive safety measures, while Argentina is reportedly creating frameworks for human-out-of-the-loop AI systems with limited liability. The United States falls somewhere between these approaches, pursuing rapid advancement with fewer regulatory constraints. These divergent approaches reflect different cultural values and priorities, raising important questions about whether AI development should prioritize efficiency and profit or human oversight and control in critical infrastructure sectors.3. Both speakers express concern about brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink, questioning the motivation behind enhancing cognitive abilities when humans already possess multiple forms of intelligence including emotional, cultural, and bodily intelligence. The primary applications demonstrated so far appear limited to video games and potentially military applications, raising questions about whether the technology serves genuine human needs or merely represents an attempt to compete with robots. The speakers emphasize that humans are already complete beings with sophisticated nervous systems, senses, and capabilities that extend far beyond cognitive processing.4. A critical insight emerges around the question of what happens when advanced technologies are removed or turned off. This applies both to brain-computer interfaces and to broader civilization infrastructure dependencies. The speaker shares experiences from 2020 of attempting to live independently in rural California, discovering the challenges of isolation and self-sufficiency. This relates directly to concerns about creating dependencies on technologies where the software ownership and control remain unclear, particularly when those technologies become integrated into human bodies or essential services.5. The discussion reveals concerns about increasing societal division based on access to enhancement technologies. Beyond existing financial inequalities, the speakers worry about a future where people who can afford biological and technological enhancements will advance rapidly while others are left behind. This isn't about disadvantaging certain groups but rather about creating an unbridgeable gap between enhanced early adopters and what they call standard populations who may be intelligent people maintaining traditional ways of life but lacking access to expensive enhancement technologies.6. Matveeva emphasizes the importance of including diverse cultural perspectives, particularly indigenous wisdom and Buddhist traditions, in AI training data. She argues that current AI models reflect the worldviews, values, and hierarchies of their predominantly Western designers, which influences the guidance these models provide to users worldwide. By incorporating wisdom traditions from various cultures, AI models could potentially become wiser and more culturally adaptive, serving diverse populations more effectively rather than imposing a single cultural framework globally.7. The speakers discuss the problematic nature of data collection and ownership in AI training, noting that massive amounts of user data may not actually be improving AI models as expected. There are indications that some AI companies are now specifically requesting users to help train models on their prompts, suggesting that simply collecting billions of conversations hasn't been as useful as anticipated. This raises questions about whether the data users have given away over the past several years has actually made significant impact or is simply buried in chunks of information that aren't effectively connected to meaningful improvements in AI performance.

You hear about another consultant who charges double what you charge. Or a new consultant who left corporate six months ago is landing so much work they're turning projects away.Or a competitor walks away with a deal you were certain was yours.The gut punch is immediate.What happens next is the part most independent consultants don't realize is costing them.The comparison doesn't just make you feel bad. It changes what you do. You question your strategy. You start proposing less. You shrink your visibility. You reinforce an identity of someone who is behind, when the data almost never supports that.In Episode 277 of the Grow Your Independent Consulting Business podcast, Melisa Liberman addresses this directly. She shares three real consultant stories where comparison nearly derailed businesses that were, by any objective measure, doing well. A ten-year veteran generating $200K to $400K consistently. A six-year consultant who gave a newer colleague every tool she had, then watched that colleague leapfrog her. A twelve-year consultant who lost a deal to a competitor and started questioning everything.Comparison was costing them in their businesses, and threatening their longevity.Melisa breaks down the root causes and gives you three specific tools for managing it when it hits. Not generic advice to "focus on yourself." Actual processes for what to do in the moment and over time.If you've ever walked away from a conversation with another consultant feeling smaller than when you walked in, this episode is the one to listen to.Timestamps for Key Moments:[00:00] Why comparison costs you more than you realize[00:03] Agenda overview[00:04] Companion resource: Consulting Mindset Audit at ICmindset.com[00:06] Three real consultant stories[00:15] The real impacts: beyond the emotional gut punch[00:21] The root causes[00:25] The three tools to manage comparison as a business owner[00:37] Put this episode into actionResources Mentioned:Companion Resource: Consulting Mindset Audit.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles unpack another extraordinary week inside Donald Trump's presidency, from a major Supreme Court victory that could dramatically expand presidential power to the increasingly blurred line between church and state, the political fallout from the fragile Iran ceasefire, and why Trump may once again escape the consequences of a foreign policy setback. They also dig into the mystery surrounding Natalie Harp, Trump's fiercely devoted "human printer," as new reporting catches up with revelations first explored by Wolff, examine why the New York Times is only now embracing the idea that Trump governs through obsession rather than strategy, debate Trump's latest fixation with the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, and reveal the strange political calculations behind JD Vance's Nixon comparisons.
