Jonathan Goodman is one of the most influential thought leaders and entrepreneurs in the fitness industry. After years of building businesses and platforms, Jonathan has now made writing books his primary focus.In this episode, Jonathan joins Andrew Coates to unpack the ideas behind his new book, Unhinged Habits, and to challenge some of the most sacred advice in personal development — especially the overemphasis on consistency and incremental progress.Instead, Jonathan makes the case for seasons of unhinged intensity, intentional rest, and creating contrast in your life — while also explaining where consistency still matters and why most people misunderstand how high performers actually operate.THIS EPISODE COVERS:What is wrong with the classic advice of consistency and incremental improvementThe value of thinking in seasons of intensity and seasons of restHow to make seasons of unhinged intensity actually workWhy contrast matters for growth, creativity, and motivationWhy you cannot meaningfully transform more than one major area at a timeHow to put other priorities into maintenance while focusing on transformationThe value of shortening the delay of gratificationWhere consistency truly mattersThe disconnect between what many authors preach and how they actually liveAnd much moreJonathan's book Unhinged Habits is available now, everywhere you can buy books.Instagram: @itscoachgoodmanCHAPTERS01:41 The Concept of Seasonality and Consistency12:32 The Importance of Iteration and Quick Learning16:34 The Role of Contrast and Novelty in Life23:37 Balancing Intensity and Consistency29:53 The Myth of 1 Percent Better Every Day30:41 Building a New System for Growth31:27 The Concept of New Baselines31:55 A Thought Experiment on Wealth Inequality33:22 Seasonality-Focused Intensity34:07 RP Strength and the RP Hypertrophy App35:30 Consistency vs Intensity37:11 Writing, Creativity, and Intense Sprints46:23 The Tiny Backpack Rule47:11 Rebuilding the Calendar48:00 Fitness-First Thinking52:43 The Ideal Calendar55:34 Conclusion and Call to ActionSUPPORT THE SHOWIf this episode challenged how you think about growth, productivity, or self-improvement, you can support the show by:Subscribing and checking out more episodesSharing it on social media (tag me — I will respond)Sending it to someone stuck trying to “do everything at once”FOLLOW ANDREW COATESInstagram: @andrewcoatesfitnesshttps://www.andrewcoatesfitness.comPARTNERS AND RESOURCESRP Strength App (use code COATESRP)https://www.rpstrength.com/coatesJust Bite Me Meals (use code ANDREWCOATESFITNESS for 10 percent off)https://justbitememeals.com/MacrosFirst – FREE Premium TrialDownload MacrosFirstDuring setup, answer: How did you hear about us?Type: ANDREWKNKG Bags (15 percent off)https://www.knkg.com/Andrew59676Versa Gripps (discount link)https://www.versagripps.com/andrewcoatesTRAINHEROIC – FREE 90 Day Trial (2 steps)Go to: https://www.trainheroic.com/liftfreeReply to the email you receive (or email trials@trainheroic.com) and let them know Andrew sent you

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and in this episode I sit down with Alexandra Beller to dive deep into the role of movement in theater and performance.Alexandra breaks down how movement evolves organically through collaboration between actors, directors, and designers. She explains how the actor's body, the director's vision, and the text itself all interact to create a fully realized performance. Rather than treating movement as something added on, Alexandra emphasizes how it emerges naturally when those elements are truly in dialogue with one another.She shares insight into analyzing character dynamics and highlights the importance of timing in dialogue. Using examples from television, Alexandra contrasts the rapid-fire rhythm of shows like Gilmore Girls with the more spacious, emotionally driven pacing of This Is Us, illustrating how tempo and rhythm shape audience response.Alexandra also discusses the significance of space onstage—how proximity, distance, and physical orientation can deeply influence emotional stakes and storytelling. Her approach offers practical tools for actors to make clearer, more grounded choices that resonate with audiences.Whether you're an aspiring actor or a seasoned performer, this conversation is packed with valuable techniques to deepen your craft. Join us as Alexandra Beller reveals how movement, timing, and physical awareness can bring authenticity, clarity, and emotional power to performance.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:17 - The Evolution of Movement00:01:36 - The Importance of Timing00:02:27 - Stylization and Its Impact00:04:38 - The Role of Space00:05:20 - Reading Characters00:06:14 - Understanding Body Language00:07:22 - The Role of the Director00:07:57 - The Balance Between Instinct and Analysis00:09:14 - Nonverbal Communication and Characterization00:11:21 - Experiencing Film in a Meditative State00:12:53 - The Influence of Different Forms of Theater00:13:55 - The Concept of Constellatory Thinking00:15:28 - Working with Directors00:17:28 - Choreography and Directing00:18:58 - Theater and Cultural Influence00:21:18 - Praxis Space: A Creative Community00:21:20 - The Anatomy of Art: A New Book00:29:59 - Daily Routines and Practices00:31:15 - Personal Health and Fitness00:31:30 - Reading and Learning Preferences00:32:07 - Music Interests00:32:53 - Current TV Shows and Movies00:33:23 - Discussion on Superman Movie00:36:29 - Contact and Course InformationCheck out her website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.alexandrabellerdances.org/

This is a Q&A session from the Soul Searchers Retreat. Acharya das delivers a comprehensive discussion on spiritual life versus material life, emphasizing the fundamental distinction between material consciousness (identifying with the physical body) and spiritual consciousness (recognizing oneself as an eternal spiritual being). He explains that material life is founded on the belief that "I am material," while spirituality recognizes "I'm an eternal spiritual being." A wide range of topics were addressed (as you can see from the chapters listed below) including the concept of karma yoga which was introduced as a process of integrating life activities with spiritual practice by offering all actions as service to a higher spiritual reality. **************************************CHAPTERS‎ 00:00 Distinguishing Material and Spiritual Life02:39 The Concept of Karma Yoga 04:09 The Bhagavad Gita: Arjuna's Dilemma‎05:42 Arjuna's Breakdown and Krishna's Response08:24 Krishna's Teaching on Duty and Nature09:46 The Radical Teaching of Spiritual Action11:23 The Lesson of Utilizing Our Tools12:42 The Fundamental Shift in Consciousness14:06 Two Schools of Thought: Traditional vs. Advaita15:43 Critique of the "I Am God" Philosophy17:05 Qualitative Oneness vs. Quantitative Difference18:31 The Complete Whole Principle21:40 The Appeal of False God-Realization22:58 Three Aspects of Self-Realization23:56 The Inevitable Fall from Impersonal Realization25:37 Three Features of the Absolute Truth27:30 The Nature of Transcendental Connection29:40 Comparing Levels of Transcendental Happiness31:27 Rejection of Blind Faith32:42 The Problem of Consciousness Filters33:26 Indescribable Spiritual Delights‎34:52 The Importance of Questioning35:46 Proper vs. Improper Questioning37:07 The Problem of False Self-Importance39:32 Three Authorities in Vedic System41:00 Internal Spiritual Guidance‎43:17 Alignment of Spiritual Authorities45:13 Universal Accessibility of Spiritual Realization46:19 Divine Assistance for Sincere Seekers48:05 Recognition of Spiritual Truth49:30 Encouragement and Final Thoughts50:35 Kirtan Meditation**************************************

Dans cet épisode solo qui est une lecture de ma newsletter , je poursuis une réflexion entamée dans ma dernière newsletter et dans le précédent épisode : comment redonner envie du futur dans un monde qui semble chaque jour plus incertain, plus complexe, parfois même invivable.J'ai questionné les trois grandes voies que j'ai explorées ces dernières années : le développement personnel, la connaissance intellectuelle, et la quête de sens. Et j'ai compris pourquoi, malgré leur utilité, elles montrent aujourd'hui leurs limites.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de connativité, ce concept peu connu issu de Spinoza et validé par les neurosciences, qui désigne notre capacité à persévérer dans l'existence, à avancer malgré tout, même sans comprendre parfaitement. C'est peut-être là la clé : ne pas tant chercher à comprendre qu'à retrouver l'élan.J'ai voulu un épisode incarné, profond, qui résonne avec ce que beaucoup ressentent sans forcément savoir le nommer. Mon espoir : que vous puissiez y trouver une brèche, une étincelle, un début d'envie.Citations marquantes« Le futur n'appartient pas à ceux qui le comprennent, mais à ceux qui le désirent. »« Ce n'est pas ce qu'il vous manque qui pose problème, c'est ce qui vous encombre. »« Le développement personnel repose sur l'idée toxique que vous n'êtes pas assez. »« L'optimalisme donne une permission : celle d'espérer sans se mentir. »« Peut-être que le problème, ce n'est pas qu'on manque d'information, mais d'élan. »4. Idées centrales discutées (Big Ideas)1. Les limites du développement personnel – [~02:30]Il individualise des problèmes systémiques et repose sur l'idée que nous devons nous "réparer".2. La connaissance ne suffit pas – [~10:50]Comprendre le monde, oui. Mais sans débouché actionnable, la lucidité peut mener à l'épuisement.3. Le sens perd sa force quand le futur est invivable – [~15:50]Viktor Frankl, Simon Sinek : leurs approches supposent un futur désirable. Ce n'est plus évident aujourd'hui.4. L'optimalisme comme posture – [~18:00]Être optimiste sans naïveté, réaliste sans cynisme. Mais cela reste une posture, pas un mouvement.5. Le conatus comme clé oubliée – [~20:45]Concept spinoziste : l'élan vital fondamental qui nous pousse à persévérer dans l'existence.6. La connativité comme alternative – [~22:30]Redonner place à l'élan, pas par amélioration de soi, mais par déconstruction de ce qui l'encombre.7. Les 5 clés pour relancer l'élan – [~24:00]Identifier ce qui épuise, privilégier la continuité, accepter l'inachevé, voir la joie comme un signal, avancer sans tout comprendre.Questions posées dans l'épisode Pourquoi ne désirons-nous plus l'avenir ?Le développement personnel nous aide-t-il vraiment ou nous aliène-t-il ?La connaissance peut-elle suffire à nous remettre en mouvement ?Quel est le rôle du sens dans un monde en crise ?L'optimalisme est-il une illusion ou une réponse adaptée ?Que dit Spinoza sur notre capacité à avancer malgré tout ?En quoi la joie peut-elle être un signal plutôt qu'un but ?Comment les neurosciences expliquent-elles notre perte d'élan ?Que faire quand la compréhension du monde nous paralyse ?Comment créer les conditions pour que notre élan vital réémerge ?Références citées dans l'épisodePhilosophie / PenséeSpinoza – Concept de conatus, moteur vital [~20:45]Viktor Frankl – Logothérapie, survivre par le sens [~14:17]Nietzsche – « Celui qui a un pourquoi peut supporter n'importe quel comment » [~15:06]Deleuze – Le pouvoir a besoin de tristesse [~13:36]Byung-Chul Han, Armand Trousseau, René Girard – Philosophes cités sur la lucidité et les biais [~11:44]NeurosciencesKen Berridge (Univ.

In this episode, Guy talked with Peter Russell, an author, guide, and meditation teacher. He discussed his deep-seated interest in consciousness and the ways in which we can achieve a natural state of contentment. He emphasized the importance of letting go of societal-induced discontent and our attachments to material things. The conversation navigated through topics such as the ego, our emotional responses, and how simple mindfulness practices can transform our perspectives and lives. Peter also explained his motivations and findings in his latest book, 'Letting Go of Nothing,' and gave insights into his daily routines and thoughts on the rapidly changing world. About Peter: Peter Russell is on the faculty of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, a fellow of The World Business Academy and The Findhorn Foundation, and an Honorary Member of The Club of Budapest. At Cambridge University (UK), he studied mathematics and theoretical physics. Then, as he became increasingly fascinated by the mysteries of the human mind, he changed to experimental psychology. Pursuing this interest, he traveled to India to study meditation and eastern philosophy, and on his return took up the first research post ever offered in Britain on the psychology of meditation. He also has a postgraduate degree in computer science, and conducted some of the early work on 3-dimensional displays, presaging by some twenty years the advent of virtual reality. In the 1970s, he was one of the first people to introduce human potential seminars into the corporate field, and for twenty years ran programs for senior management on creativity, stress management, personal development, and sustainable development. Clients have included IBM, Apple, Digital, American Express, Barclays Bank, Swedish Telecom, ICI, Shell Oil and British Petroleum. In 1982 he coined the term "Global Brain" with his 1980s bestseller of the same name in which he predicted the Internet and the impact it would have. His latest book, "Letting Go of Nothing: Relax Your Mind and Discover the Wonder of Your True Nature" was published on August 8, 2021. His other books include: The TM Technique, The Upanishads, The Brain Book, The Creative Manager, The Consciousness Revolution, Waking Up in Time, The Global Brain / The Awakening Earth, Seeds of Awakening, and From Science to God.

Can you "turn off" a narcissist with one calm sentence? Tony unpacks the viral "narcissistic off switch" concept and discovers why tactics alone won't save you—but they might be exactly where real transformation begins. After stumbling upon behavioral expert Chase Hughes' framework for disarming manipulation using FOG (Fear, Obligation, Guilt), Tony initially resisted the idea. It felt too simple. But when he traced the concept back to its source, something shifted. The off switch isn't about changing them—it's about stopping the erosion of you. Through raw client stories and David Schnarch's differentiation work, Tony reveals why awareness doesn't land as insight to the emotionally immature—it lands as exposure. And exposure is a threat. What you'll learn: Recognize when FOG and CAVA (Control, Approval, Validation, Attention) are being used against you Understand why naming manipulation often backfires in deeply bonded relationships Apply Schnarch's four points of balance to stay grounded during accusations Stop defending a "reflected sense of self" and start building one that's truly yours Embrace outcome independence—saying your truth without needing their agreement Drawing from 20+ years as a marriage and family therapist specializing in emotionally immature dynamics, Tony bridges tactical awareness with the deeper work of differentiation. 00:00 Introduction and Social Media Plugs 01:11 The Lost Episode: Narcissistic Off Switch 05:27 Chase Hughes and the Concept of Prediction 16:11 Understanding Manipulation: FOG and KAVA 18:33 Real-Life Examples: Navigating Emotional Manipulation 28:46 Understanding Unhealthy Responses 29:24 The Power of Differentiated Response 30:18 Challenges in Relationships 30:42 Contrasting Views on Manipulation 32:09 Real-Life Examples of Manipulation 37:22 The Concept of Differentiation 43:35 Projection and Emotional Immaturity 46:50 The Four Points of Balance 50:53 Gridlock and Constructing Your Crucible 54:22 Final Thoughts on Emotional Autonomy Contact Tony at contact@tonyoverbay.com to learn more about his Emotional Architects men's group.

If your brand feels too small to matter, this blueprint shows why that might be your unfair advantage.In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Mark Rampolla, Co-Founder and Co-Managing Partner at GroundForce Capital, who unpacks how a niche idea became a global category. Mark shares the strategy that took ZICO from yoga studios in NYC to nationwide shelves, the discipline behind constant pitching and fundraising, and why exits aren't the finish line. He also discusses his new book on putting freedom first, and his work at Ground Force Capital (backer of brands like Liquid Death and Beyond Meat), helping founders scale both their companies and their lives.Key Takeaways:→ Why “inch-wide, mile-deep” focus beats broad launches for breakthrough CPG growth.→ How pairing a product with a specific usage occasion (post-hot yoga) created early traction.→ The surprising first hurdle: taste—and how “preach to the choir” accelerates momentum.→ Fundraising reality: why you either get profitable fast or get great at raising—continuously.→ The nine-year “overnight success” mindset and the decade-long horizon most wins require.Mark Rampolla is Co-Founder and Co-Managing Partner at GroundForce Capital (GFC), where he works closely with founders and teams to build impactful businesses.

Last week, Dr. Judith explored the alchemy of wounds and how emotional pain becomes the catalyst for transformation when viewed as a spiritual initiation. Today, we go deeper into one of life's most persistent teachers: pain. I've talked about pain before, but today we examine it from different angles—physical pain, emotional pain, mental anguish, and spiritual ache. Each type of pain points to something sacred ready to be healed. This episode is titled 'When Pain Speaks: Turning Hurt and Resentment into Soul Gold.' We revisit the concept of GOLD: Grace, Observation, Love, and Detachment, the four spiritual tools restoring the soul's original radiance. We explore Sophia's narrative, how she transforms her pain through these principles, leading to profound inner healing and emotional mastery. Pain, whether physical or emotional, offers lessons in self-awareness and transformation. By reframing our experiences and choosing love over bitterness, we advance towards illuminating our divine design. Join me as we explore how joy, beauty, and gratitude can teach us just as much as pain, guiding us on the path to becoming conscious alchemists of our experience. Next week, we'll continue with the art of emotional alchemy and the transformative power of surrender, empathy, and compassion.00:00 Introduction to Soul Progress00:15 Understanding Pain as a Teacher00:49 The Concept of Soul Gold02:18 Different Voices of Pain04:43 Sophia's Story: Practicing Soul Gold09:10 The Neuroscience of Emotional Pain10:33 Reframing and Releasing Pain13:16 The Pathways of Growth: Illumination vs. Contrast18:38 The Cycle of Repetition and Redemption21:33 The Soul's Code and Epigenetic Imprinting25:01 Steps to Light-Based Growth26:31 Conclusion: Embracing Emotional Alchemy

In this episode, Dr. Jockers is joined by Dr. Jason Fung to break down why weight gain isn't a willpower issue or a calorie problem, but a hunger problem driven by internal signals. You'll learn why eating less often backfires and why controlling hunger is the real key to sustainable fat loss.   Dr. Fung introduces the concept of the "fat thermostat," explaining how hormones like insulin, cortisol, and GLP-1 quietly determine whether your body stores fat or burns it. He also reveals how ultra-processed foods disrupt these signals and keep cravings switched on.   You'll also explore the different types of hunger that influence eating behavior, why some foods never lead to satiety, and how small shifts in food choice, timing, and lifestyle can naturally reduce cravings while supporting fat burning.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Food Industry Tricks 01:19 Dr. Jason Fung's Background and Achievements 04:06 The Concept of Hunger and Hormones 12:05 Understanding the Fat Thermostat 17:09 The Role of Hormones in Weight Management 21:53 Impact of Diet on Hormones and Weight 26:06 Debunking Diet Myths 26:43 The Science of Hair Regrowth 28:23 Understanding Hunger and Hormones 29:40 The Dangers of Ultra-Processed Foods 31:33 Food Addiction and Its Implications 32:55 The Role of Natural Foods in Satiety 36:10 The Impact of Food Processing on Health 44:01 Effective Strategies for Weight Management 52:09 The Importance of Social Support in Dieting 52:48 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   If you want practical, natural strategies to balance your hormones, heal your gut, boost your energy, and slow aging, don't miss The Dr. Josh Axe Show.

Steven Pinker is a cognitive scientist, bestselling author, and one of the most influential thinkers of our time. His latest book unpacks the concept of 'common knowledge', and how it impacts our social, political, and economic lives. Steven argues that this invisible layer of shared understanding holds societies together. But it can also work in reverse by reinforcing inherent biases as more people silo themselves inside echo chambers. This is a fascinating conversation with a brilliant man, and you can see Steven live in Australia in February.

L'agriculture régénérative est partout. Dans les discours, les stratégies d'entreprise, les feuilles de route politiques. Mais derrière ce mot devenu omniprésent, que recouvre réellement cette approche ? Et surtout : comment passer de l'intention à une transformation concrète des systèmes agricoles et alimentaires en Europe ?Dans cet épisode, Jeane reçoit Mercedes Groba, Head of Regenerative Agriculture chez EIT Food, l'une des plus grandes initiatives européennes dédiées à l'innovation dans les systèmes alimentaires. Depuis plusieurs années, Mercedes travaille à déployer l'agriculture régénérative à grande échelle, en accompagnant agriculteurs, entreprises, chercheurs et décideurs publics vers des pratiques plus respectueuses des sols, du vivant et du climat. L'agriculture résiliente constitue l'une des priorités stratégiques de l'EIT Food, car elle est l'un des deux domaines thématiques clés à travers lesquels l'organisation encourage la transformation du système alimentaire.Selon Mercedes Groba, l'agriculture régénérative est le seul type d'agriculture viable à long terme.Au fil de cette conversation, elle apporte une définition claire et opérationnelle de l'agriculture régénérative et explique ce qui la distingue réellement d'autres formes d'agriculture. Elle revient sur ses impacts concrets : restauration de la santé des sols, renforcement de la biodiversité, résilience face aux chocs climatiques…L'épisode explore également les freins majeurs à l'adoption de ces pratiques : risques économiques à court terme, manque de sécurité financière, complexité du changement de pratiques. Mercedes partage les nouveaux modèles économiques, mécanismes financiers et leviers d'innovation nécessaires pour rendre la transition régénérative viable et désirable pour les agriculteurs.Cet épisode permet de mieux comprendre les enjeux et de penser une agriculture qui répare, nourrit et régénère à la fois les écosystèmes et préservent celles et ceux qui cultivent la terre.

John shared his journey from being an agnostic engineer to becoming a spiritual seeker and researcher who has interviewed over 1,500 people about their NDEs. The conversation covered various aspects of NDEs, including their common elements, the evidence supporting them, and how they often lead to profound life changes. John discussed the beauty and purpose of life, the idea of God, and the transformative power of love. He also touches upon the experiences of those who have had hellish NDEs and how these experiences often lead to spiritual awakening. The episode was a deep dive into the mysteries of life, death, and the possibility of an afterlife, aimed at helping listeners understand the spiritual dimensions of existence. About John: John Burke is the New York Times bestselling author of Imagine Heaven and Imagine the God of Heaven and has researched 1500 cases of near-death experiences and how they correlate with the Bible. Imagine Heaven has been translated into 28 languages with over a million copies circulated in the US and more across the globe.

In this episode of the AI Agent & Copilot Podcast, John Siefert, President and Founder of AIAC, sits down with Seth Bacon, Director of Innovation at RSM, to explore how organizations can move beyond AI hype and into real, measurable value. Their conversation dives into practical adoption, industry-specific use cases, and what attendees can expect from the 2026 AI Agent & Copilot Summit NA, where real-world outcomes, not proofs of concept, take center stage.Key TakeawaysIndustry-specific use cases: Bacon highlights that outcomes, data sets, and success metrics differ dramatically between sectors like manufacturing, retail, and professional services. By showcasing real industry accelerators, the summit helps attendees see what's possible within their own vertical while also learning from how other industries solve similar problems using the same technologies.Accessible depth for every role: The summit is intentionally designed to support a wide range of maturity levels. Bacon notes that some attendees are just learning how to write better prompts, while others are orchestrating complex, multi-platform agentic systems.The power of in-person connection: While sessions provide structured learning, both speakers agree that the most impactful moments often happen outside the rooms. Bacon emphasizes that hallway conversations, meals, and informal networking create lasting relationships that extend well beyond the event. These connections give attendees trusted peers to call months later when challenges arise, making the summit not just a learning experience, but a long-term support network.

In today's episode, I explore an important topic in modern parenting: the importance of struggle, and how easily it's being lost in a world shaped by convenience, technology, and AI. While AI is part of the conversation, this episode goes deeper, focusing on what happens when children no longer get enough practice doing hard things.I explain why struggle is not a problem to eliminate, but a critical part of healthy brain development. When kids wrestle with challenges, frustration, effort, and uncertainty, they build resilience, problem-solving skills, emotional regulation, and confidence. These capacities don't come from ease or shortcuts, they come from experience.The episode gently challenges the instinct to smooth the path too much for our children, especially when tools like AI can quickly remove discomfort. Throughout the conversation, the message is clear: kids don't need life to be harder, but they do need meaningful struggle. When parents stay present, encouraging, and regulated, children learn that they can tolerate difficulty and come out stronger on the other side.Jennifer's Takeaways:The Importance of Struggle in Parenting (00:00)Understanding Dopamine and Its Role in Motivation (00:48)The Impact of Technology on Children's Motivation (03:37)The Concept of Optimal Frustration (05:33)The Role of AI in Education and Parenting (09:13)Building Resilience and Mental Health (14:13)The Importance of Valuing the Process Over the Outcome (14:50)The Role of Parents in Guiding Children's Development (19:44)The Impact of AI on Emotional Maturity and Resilience (19:56)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.

Welcome to another high-energy episode of The AZREIA Show!

This episode moves from a lighthearted family practice of setting “New Year's disciplines” into a serious, practical conversation on Josef Pieper's The Concept of Sin. Adam and David argue that modern culture often avoids the word “sin” not because sin disappeared, but because the concept of sin has been replaced with softer language: mistakes, weakness, psychological explanations, or vague “bad choices.” Pieper's central claim, they explain, is that sin is not merely a moral misstep but a rejection of reality itself.The conversation ties sin directly to freedom. Only a truly free person can sin, because sin requires knowledge, responsibility, and the willful refusal of the good. Drawing on the Catechism, they frame sin as an offense against reason, truth, and right conscience, as well as a failure in love caused by disordered attachment to lesser goods. Sin is not “missing the mark” in the sense of trying hard and falling short; it is a refusal, a “no” to what is.They also explore how every sin involves untruthfulness and self-deception. To commit sin, a person constructs a false account of reality that makes the act seem reasonable. This helps explain why rationalization demands constant outside validation and why modern life often tries to remove guilt without removing sin. Against that, the hosts emphasize that forgiveness presupposes guilt, and sin can only be understood alongside grace.Practical takeaways include building a daily examination of conscience, paying attention to patterns and triggers, naming both sins of commission and omission, and running to confession with regularity. The episode closes with a fatherly focus: how to speak about sin with children truthfully without crushing them, holding together mercy and clarity so that kids learn both the seriousness of sin and the permanence of love.Key topics coveredA family approach to New Year's disciplines: spiritual, virtue-driven, and “free choice” goalsWhy “the concept of sin” has faded while sin itself has notPieper's claim: before sin is a moral issue, it is a metaphysical issueSin, freedom, and responsibility: why only the free can sinWhy sin is more than “missing the mark”: refusal vs. mistakeSin as rejection of reality and the link to truth and the transcendentalsThe role of self-deception and rationalization in every sinful actGrace and forgiveness: why forgiveness presupposes guiltVice vs. sin and how habitual patterns can erode clarity and hopeExamination of conscience, confession, and spiritual “trench warfare”Parenting: naming sin without demoralizing children, holding truth with mercyNotable references mentionedJosef Pieper, The Concept of SinCatechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 1849 (definition of sin)St. Paul on grace abounding where sin increases

Most teams treat conflict as something to avoid. In this episode, I sit down with Yaprak Gültay Davison to talk about why that instinct backfires. We explore how healthy disagreement builds trust, improves decision-making, and helps teams move faster... without blowing things up.What if the tension you're trying to avoid at work is actually the thing your team needs most?Most design teams say they value collaboration, empathy, and alignment, but rarely talk about disagreement. In this conversation, I sat down with Yaprak Davison, Head of Design at Goodnotes and former design leader at Spotify, to unpack why conflict isn't a threat to good teams. It's often the foundation of trust.Yaprak shares how designers are trained to optimize for harmony, and how that instinct can quietly erode clarity, slow teams down, and lead to decisions being made without the right people in the room. We talk about the real signals of unaddressed conflict—delayed replies, passive agreement, quiet misalignment—and why silence often causes more damage than open disagreement ever could.We also dig into what it actually looks like to lead through conflict: naming tension early, separating facts from the stories we tell ourselves, and turning disagreement into a co-design moment rather than a power struggle. If you've ever felt stuck “keeping the peace” while things quietly fall apart, this episode will change how you think about conflict and your role in it.Helpful Links:• Connect with Yaprak on LinkedIn• Subscribe to “Leadership as Craft”Topics:• 02:49 – Diving into Conflict in Teams• 03:18 – Guest Introduction: YRA Davidson• 04:25 – The Role of Conflict in Design• 05:45 – Managing Conflict in Design Teams• 11:31 – Coaching and Cultural Differences• 22:21 – Building Trust Through Conflict• 25:21 – Scaling Teams and Systems• 30:53 – Exploring the Concept of Followership• 32:31 – Leadership as a Team Sport• 33:40 – Balancing Leadership and Craft• 35:43 – Building High-Performing Remote Teams• 39:40 – Handling Remote Conflict• 41:46 – Personal Insights and Advice• 52:51 – Final Thoughts and Resources—Thanks for listening!

What if love wasn't just chemistry or chance but something you could actually measure? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh sits down with author and data analyst Zoey Charif to explore how love, attraction, and long term compatibility can be understood through data, self awareness, and values. Zoey shares the story behind her book “Love Can, in Fact, Be Calculated” and explains how she developed a values based framework to predict relationship success. She breaks down the concept of a “self score,” why admiration matters more than equality, and how misalignment in values quietly erodes relationships over time. Darius and Zoey also unpack the difference between values and trait preferences, why people are often drawn to familiar but destructive patterns, and how this framework can be used as a communication tool rather than a reason to walk away.

Summary  I start the episode with a 50yo speech from Admiral Rickover, father of the Nuclear Navy about the importance of business ethics delivered just before our bicentennial that is just as relevant leading into the 250th celebration. Then I shift to break down a topic I find that most people don't understand - Whole life insurance policy loans with the Infinite Banking strategy are not magic or even special. What's special is the cash value backing it. Good rule to remember - loan interest rates simply reflect the risk. If rates are low, then the risk is really low. Life insurance companies historically offer the lowest rates anywhere because of the strength of the cash value.   Episode Highlights 00:00:14 - Misunderstanding policy loans. 00:01:17 - Frustration with misinformation in the industry. 00:01:32 - Admiral Hymen G. Rickover on America's strengths and risks. 00:03:56 - Founding principles: Freedom, life, liberty, and property. 00:05:22 - Rickover on capitalism and ethical business conduct. 00:06:14 - Business ethics vs. social responsibility. 00:07:42 - Moral legacy of America's Founding Fathers. 00:11:57 - Explaining life insurance policy cash value. 00:12:56 - Misconceptions about policy loan benefits. 00:15:00 - Concept of pooled risk in insurance. 00:15:46 - Insurance companies' resilience through black swan events. 00:20:02 - Admiral Rickover's relevance in today's ethical challenges. 00:23:20 - President Trump and America's global respect. 00:24:27 - Core message: Power of insurance comes from cash value.   Links and Resources from this Episode Connect with Gary Pinkerton https://www.paradigmlife.net/  gpinkerton@paradigmlife.net https://garypinkerton.com/  https://clientportal.paradigmlife.net/WealthView360     Keywords life insurance policy loans   infinite banking   cash value   ethical business conduct   Hymen Rickover   nuclear power   American legacy   capitalism and democracy   morality and ethics   wealth creation   insurance company stability   policyholder dividends   pooled risk   actuarial science   gold versus cash value   conservative values   community accountability   President Trump   American democracy   250th anniversary celebration

Today's the day. My new book, The Effortless Business, is officially out. I wrote this for entrepreneurs who want to build a high-income, low-maintenance business & life. For those business owners who are tired, stretched thin, and quietly wondering if success is supposed to feel this heavy. For years, the message has been: More content. More clients. More hours. And yet… so many entrepreneurs are burned out, stressed, and secretly wondering if this is really “winning.” That tension is why I wrote my new book, The Effortless Business. This isn't a productivity book. It's not about hustling harder or managing your time better. It's a complete re-design of how business works—built on simplicity, leverage, and freedom. Inside the book, I share the exact frameworks I've used (and taught thousands of clients) to: • Build a high-income business without working nonstop • Attract premium clients without posting every day • Create offers that sell without exhausting sales calls • Design your business around your life—not the other way around If you've ever looked successful on paper but felt tired in real life… this book is for you. And if you've ever wanted to build a dream business that doesn't become a prison, this is for you.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SILENCE Colleague Tanya Branigan. Branigan discusses the psychological aftermath of the Cultural Revolution with professionals in Shanghai, describing the era as a "collective hysteria." She explores the concept of "eating bitterness," or enduring suffering without complaint. While the Cultural Revolution is not strictly banned like the 1989 Tiananmen protests, it remains a sensitive topic met with silence due to both state pressure and personal trauma. Branigan shares an anecdote about a man who hallucinated Red Guards until his death, concluding that memory in China is often fractured by trauma and the struggle to create meaning.
