Thank you to the folks at Sustain for providing the hosting account for CHAOSScast! CHAOSScast – Episode 130 In this CHAOSScast episode, host introduces Rowland Mosbergen, a research software engineer at Australia's WEHI, and discusses experiences in CHAOSS Asia and open source community connections. Rowland compares research labs to startups and explains that CHAOSS Asia's regular online meetings help him engage with the broader open source ecosystem despite not traveling to conferences. They mention tools like the OSC DB directory for finding communities and discuss how Chaos Asia helps share events and CFPs. Rowland describes his “practical diversity and inclusion” approach: embedding inclusion into processes by centering marginalized people, sharing power, creating safe spaces, and offering online, non-exploitative open source internships that assess achievement relative to opportunity. He also describes organizing Research Software Asia Australia (RSAA 26) and supporting new Research Software Africa and Latino America conferences through shared documentation and a large, flexible volunteer committee to prevent burnout.

Helen Needham hears from artist Ilana Halperin in Newlands Park in Glasgow

The astrology is unusually supportive of Midlife Magic, as the waxing crescent moon conjuncts the 7 Sisters of Pleiades on March 22nd! This is wonderful for spiritually aware women over 50 who are ready to reconnect with their inner wisdom and move into a more aligned and magical way of living. This week, the kind of energy that helps you release what no longer fits and begin listening to yourself again is especially strong. The stars are aligned for growth and movement right now in exciting ways! Register for the Midlife Magic Masterclass Friday 3/20 @2pm ET or Saturday, 3/21 @11am ET Email me to tell me which day works for you! New Moon Match 18th The New Moon on March 18, 2026, moves into Pisces, which brings a sense of completion and spiritual transition. Pisces energy is already intuitive, emotional, and inward-focused. But right now, we also have a cluster of planets in Pisces, which amplifies everything. Heads up! Your sensitivity may be higher. Your dreams may feel more vivid. And, you may find yourself picking up on subtle emotional or energetic cues more than usual. This New Moon follows a total lunar eclipse that was on March 3rd and comes just after Jupiter turned direct in Cancer on March 10th. Together, these events create a strong “turn the page” feeling after a period of emotional clearing. It’s like a clean slate waiting for something new. For many women in midlife, this can show up as being ready to release old stories. Stories about aging, what you want, and or dropping this need to be the caregiver for everyone. It’s time to take care of yourself! Your body may speak to you as well. Fatigue, tears, or even physical tension can be signals of your body asking for rest, gentleness, and attention. This is actually a beautiful window to set intentions around spiritual growth, creative expression, healing, and shifting old coping patterns into something healthier. In addition, you might start calling in relationships that honor who you are now. To mark the moment, keep it simple. Try a salt bath, a few minutes of journaling, or even asking yourself, “What identity am I ready to release?” From there, set a gentle, yet empowering intention like, “I allow a life that aligns with the woman I am now” which fits perfectly with this new astrological energy. The 7 Sisters of Pleiades On Sunday evening, March 22nd, the waxing crescent Moon conjuncts the 7 Sisters of Pleiades. It's visually beautiful in the sky, just step outside and look up if it’s a clear night. There's been a lot of talk about March 2026 feeling “magical,” partly because of several celestial events happening close together. These include the earlier March eclipse and a recent Grand Planetary Parade. The Seven Sisters have long been associated with shared wisdom, feminine connection, and support. That makes Sunday night the ideal time to gather with other women. You may focus on being supportive, healing old wounds, manifesting together or healing the earth.. You could spend a few quiet minutes outside, say a prayer, meditate, or do a ceremony of your own creation. There's something powerful about simply pausing, looking up at the sky, and remembering that you're part of something much larger and deeply intelligent. A Shift Toward Clarity As we move into early April, the energy begins to shift from inward reflection to clearer outer expression. On April 4th, Mercury becomes more visible in the sky. This supports communication, clarity, and new ideas. At the same time, there are larger background changes happening. Saturn and Neptune have recently moved into Aries starting a long cycle that blends vision with reality and intuition with structure. That means its a time to be more honest about what you want in this next phase of life. You may find yourself less willing to stay quiet just to keep the peace and have a stronger desire to express what feels true. Ideas that came through in March, whether in dreams, realizations, or emotional insights, now want to take form. So, you may have an honest conversation, make a clear plan, or take a step you've put off for a while. It could be something as simple as saying what you need in a relationship. Or as bold as starting a new project that feels more aligned with who you are now. There's a growing sense of “This is more me,” and a willingness to follow that, even if it shifts expectations. That’s Midlife Magic for you. Connecting with your inner wisdom and higher self. It’s Time to Stretch Right now, the invitation is to move gently and be honest with yourself. Process what feels complete. Pay attention to what your inner voice says and what you really want. Notice where you feel called to stretch, even just a little. Connect with the real you and your higher self. Focus on your inner life first. Let emotions, dreams, and quiet moments guide you toward what is ending and what is ready to start fresh. Be intentional about connection. Whether it's one meaningful conversation or acknowledging your desire for more supportive relationships, this is a time to realign with the kind of community that truly fits you. As clarity builds in the coming weeks, trust the inner wisdom nudges that encourage you to speak, begin, or choose differently. You don't have to figure out your entire future, just have to follow what feels more aligned today. That's where Midlife Magic blossoms!

Have you ever wondered what lies beyond the physical world we see? Or why so many people today feel a deep connection to something bigger than Earth? In this mind-glowing episode of the You-est You® Podcast, I sit down with remote viewer and spiritual teacher Elizabeth April to explore the expanding edges of consciousness from remote viewing to extraterrestrial contact and the idea of starseed origins. Elizabeth shares her personal journey, including a life-changing extraterrestrial encounter that awakened her to the reality that consciousness is far more vast than we've been taught. Yeah…this is not a shallow end of the pool conversation.  We explore questions like: ✨ What remote viewing actually is ✨ The idea of the Galactic Federation ✨ Why many people feel they may be starseeds ✨ How empaths can stay grounded in intense energies (one of my favorites was a simple but powerful technique for empaths) If you're curious about the bigger picture of consciousness, this conversation will absolutely stretch your perspective. If this podcast has touched, moved, or inspired you in any way, thank you for sharing it with those you love and leaving a review if inspired. It helps for more people to find out about these conversations.   And in case you didn't know this, I honor your light and your You-est You, and love you just the way you are.   Takeaways Elizabeth April identifies as a remote viewer, exploring beyond physical reality. Her abduction experience opened her eyes to the reality of extraterrestrials. Growing up in a Catholic household, Elizabeth had unique spiritual experiences. Empathy can lead to overwhelming feelings, requiring grounding techniques. The Galactic Federation is a collective of beings supporting unity consciousness. Personal empowerment is key to navigating spiritual awakening. Distraction from external chaos can hinder personal growth and awareness. Connecting to source reveals the unity of all existence beyond light and dark. Grounding techniques like visualizing a protective bubble can help empaths. Elizabeth's heritage includes connections to the grays and Pleiadians.   About Elizabeth April Elizabeth April is an internationally recognized remote viewer, spiritual teacher, and cosmic channeler who helps people expand their awareness beyond the physical world. Through her teachings on consciousness, extraterrestrial contact, and starseed origins, she guides others to reconnect with their intuition, personal empowerment, and deeper connection to the universe. Elizabeth is also the author of You're Not Dying, You're Just Waking Up and Anxiety: A Spiritual Journey.   About Your Host, Julie Reisler Julie Reisler is a heart-led intuitive guide, TEDx speaker, author, and host of The You-est You® Podcast.

"It kind of felt like it was just her and I against the world." - Ann Garner When a child develops fibromyalgia or another chronic pain condition, it can feel incredibly isolating for the whole family. Parents are trying to understand the condition themselves while also advocating for their child with doctors, teachers, and even extended family members who may not fully believe what's happening. As a parent without a community, it feels like you're navigating everything on your own. For kids living with fibromyalgia, that isolation can be even harder. Their pain is invisible, and they're quietly managing limitations their peers can't see. Finding others who really understand that experience can be life-changing. Connecting with people who are on a similar journey often brings community, validation, and hope for the future. In this episode, Tami is joined by Ann Garner, a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach®  and mom raising a teenager with fibromyalgia and ME/CFS, to talk about her family's experience attending family camp held by the Pediatric Pain Warriors program from the US Pain Foundation. Tami and Ann talk about her daughter Lily's early symptoms and the long road to receiving a fibromyalgia diagnosis, Ann's experience as a mother with fibromyalgia watching her daughter develop similar symptoms, the importance of learning to advocate for your child, how Ann discovered the Pediatric Pain Warriors program, what it was like to attend their first camp, how adaptive activities, sports, and support groups create an inclusive environment where kids with chronic pain can feel capable and supported, the strong support network that formed with other families at the camp, navigating the challenge of learning to be authentic about pain, how the camp experience changed Ann's perspective as both a coach and a parent, why community and shared experience matter so much for families navigating chronic illness, and more.     Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice.

One of the best books I have ever read; in Cheryl's own words, it is a book about 'hiking and healing in the mountains'.                                             Bio- Floundering in her second career, the one she's always wanted, forty-eight year old Cheryl Suchors resolves that, despite a fear of heights, her mid-life success depends on hiking the highest of the grueling White Mountains in New Hampshire. All forty-eight of them. She endures injuries, novice mistakes, and the heartbreaking loss of a best friend. When breast cancer threatens her own life, she seeks solace and recovery in the wild. Her quest takes ten years. Regardless of the need since childhood to feel successful and in control, climbing teaches her mastery isn't enough and control is often an illusion. Connecting with friends and with nature, Suchors redefines success: she discovers a source of spiritual nourishment, spaces powerful enough to absorb her grief, and joy in the persistence of love and beauty. 48 Peaks inspires us to believe that, no matter what obstacles we face, we too can attain our summits.

This week, we're re-releasing our 2022 interview with author and naturalist Sy Montgomery. Life can feel especially lonely if you think humans are the only creatures on this planet.

On Earth Day 2022, we spoke with Montgomery about forming deep relationships with animals and how getting to know animals can change us.

Disclaimer: this episode is based on my proprietary behavior mapping system. This system is used in conjunction with a discovery conversation I have with an individual. In the case of mapping public figures this is purely an independent analysis and opinion based on publicly available research. See citations below article. Transcript: You’re probably like me in that you’re a very visual person. (see below!) Well, hey there. Welcome back. Let’s talk Elon Musk. But before we do that, let’s talk about behavioral mapping and my book BeCAUSE!. Freud’s Pleasure Principle: Monsters and Unicorns Okay, wait. We have to back up from that and we have to talk about Freud’s pleasure principle. If you are an old fan of this show, you’ve probably heard me say this a bunch of times, but let’s sum it up really quickly. Freud’s pleasure principle is based on the fact that we are binary individuals. We seek pleasure, we avoid pain. Everything and anything we do is broken down into those things. I’ve had a number of episodes on this and the book BeCAUSE! is based on this, but I give the seeking pleasure and the avoiding pain a face. The seeking pleasure is a unicorn and the avoiding pain is a monster. They are neither good nor bad. They are not devils and angels. They simply are. Visualizing Behavior: My New Mapping Software After the book BeCAUSE! came out, I ended up developing patent pending behavioral mapping software. It’s software that allows me to actually map this stuff out. And you’re probably like me in that you’re a very visual person. This episode might be a little bit longer than my self-imposed 10-minute limit, so please bear with me. Paradoxically, when I talk about Elon Musk, I actually want you to not be thinking of him, but to be thinking of you. Every episode of this podcast starts out as an article on Alchemy for Life. This one is no different, and you’ll be able to see the visual mapping on the site if you’d like. You can follow along on there or if you’re listening in your car, you can just visualize based on what I’m telling you. Deconstructing Elon Musk: The Childhood Trauma Most people are familiar with Elon Musk. He’s a rather polarizing person. He’s someone who won’t stop talking about going to Mars and now the moon. He’s someone who created an empire. He owns Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, now X, the Boring Company, and X AI. He’s had some romances. He’s currently not married and he has a lot of children. What most people don’t know is what I actually found out in the map showing why all of this is happening. And again, because audio is literally linear, meaning you talk in a straight line, you stop it. You can’t go into branches and things like that. It’s a little harder in audio to tell you what something on a screen can tell you, but I’ll do the best I can. When he was young, the family dog bit him. It was actually a pretty vicious bite, but he was terrified that the dog was going to be put down. He needed medical attention, but he kept refusing it because he said, “You need to promise you’re not going to put the dog down.” Unfortunately, they put the dog down. And this was a very traumatic thing. And I can imagine for myself, and I’m sure you’re thinking about this, too, that’s a very traumatic thing to have to go through. You blame yourself. You think, well, maybe there’s something I could have done to not have the dog bite me. It’s horrible, horrible feeling. And it’s a feeling of losing something and someone that’s really important to you. You feel like you’re literally responsible for the death of a living creature. and that you have no control. So imagine that. It puts a pretty strong pleasure center. It puts a pretty strong unicorn in place that says, “Hey, follow me and you’ll have more control. You want more control.” Yes, I want more control. As with a lot of things, sometimes you also have the opposite in place. You have a monster that says, “It really feels bad to lose control.” And I’m sure you can understand that. I’m sure there are times in your life when you’ve lost control for some reason and you vowed to never lose that control again. Whether you were placed in a very unfortunate position due to your job or relationship or or even in your childhood The Teenage Existential Crisis when he was a teenager and we all remember just how wonderful and clear thinking we were as teenagers. He read both Shopenhau and Nietzsche. And I’ll tell you that Nichi is actually on my wall among five other people. But it’s not exactly something you would read out loud at like a children’s birthday party. So for him, he deeply regretted reading that stuff because it created in him an existential crisis. And imagine that’s essentially what being a teenager is, is having an existential crisis. You you question life. you’re halfway between being an adult and being a child. So reading that created in him a monster of avoiding the feeling of having existential dread and personal meaninglessness. We all want purpose in our life. Imagine removing that as a teenager. Imagine questioning all of that and saying, “Oh my god, this feels terrible. I I I can’t experience this.” So, conversely, it creates the unicorn that makes it feel really good when you feel purpose and meaning. It’s the same one most of us would have. The Scars of Bullying and Humiliation When he was in school, he was severely bullied and beaten basically to the point of not being recognizable. Some of us were bullied, maybe all of us were bullied. And it tends to shape us sometimes in bad ways and sometimes in good ways. But to compound this, when he came home to his father, his father blamed him for this and made him stand for 2 hours while he bered him and called him a loser. How would you respond to that? How would you psychologically speaking respond to that so that it would never happen to you again? You would have a monster that would be very strong in making sure you avoid humiliation and being vulnerable. And from the bullying, obviously you would have a monster that would say, “I’m never going to be bullied again. Never.” This is probably the first time you’re hearing about a lot of this stuff. Probably what you tend to hear about Elon Musk is his purchase or he makes a decision that you think is chaotic or egotistical. you’ve probably never heard any of this other stuff unless you have read his bio or multiple bios and things like that. Connecting the Trauma to the Billionaire’s Actions So, now that you know the monsters and unicorns that he has in place, what actions did these cause? Well, let’s go through them. If you’re trying to avoid the pain of bullying and the monster keeps getting in the way and saying, “You’re going to be bullied. Don’t do that.” Wouldn’t you be a bit combative on social media? Wouldn’t you make sure that in an interview you’re not going to be bullied? Wouldn’t you make sure that when you are dealing with the feds or other court systems or other CEOs that you would tend not to back down? In fact, maybe even not back down even when it’s to your detriment. If you’re avoiding the pain and fear of scarcity because of what happened with your dog and that you had no control over that, and you’re avoiding the pain of humiliation and especially vulnerability and bullying because of the place you’re in as someone who is almost a trillionaire, would it not affect your approach on forming a family? If you are married and have children, you are in a position of vulnerability. You have more vulnerability right now than someone who, let’s say, doesn’t have children or isn’t married. If you’re in a loving relationship, that’s part for the course. It comes with the territory. It’s something you welcome. But if you combine a fear of scarcity and you’ve developed a sort of pleasure for having absolute sovereignty and control of any and all outcomes and you have a terrible monster that makes it feel horrible. If you are losing control, you would be in a unique position to want to perpetuate the human race, but not in a traditional way that causes vulnerability. which is why he has 14 children across four different women and he is presently not married to any of them. This monster for avoiding pain and the fear of scarcity, working together with this pleasure of having absolute sovereignty and control and this extremely strong unicorn pulling him towards the feeling of purpose and meaning would obviously lead him to the creation of Space X so that he could continue to make the race multilanetary. Oh, and that monster telling him that scarcity feels bad, he helps as well. And guess who’s also looking over his shoulder? The monster that’s avoiding him having the feeling of existential dread and personal meaninglessness. You’re definitely listening to that monster if you are trying to perpetuate the human race on another planet. If you are avoiding losing control and you certainly enjoy the absolute sovereignty of being able to change the outcome and you enjoy the feeling of purpose and meaning and you’re terrified of having existential dread and personal meaninglessness, would you not purchase the most well-known social media platform in your attempt, at least according to you, to save free speech? Mapping Your Own Monsters and Unicorns Whether you’re a fan or not of Elon, whether you’re completely neutral or not, you can’t help but empathize with some of the things I’ve described. And like I said, you’re more likely to think of you than of him in these situations. What would you do? What have you experienced? What emotional turmoil have you gone through? What horrible things have you gone through in your childhood, in your teens, and even in your adult life that have shaped who you are? Those things just don’t go away. They stay with you for life. Your monsters and unicorns sort of show up and they take residence in your brain. If it sounded a little bit like I was all over the map, well, quite literally, I was. I worked through the visual map that I’m looking at right now and it’s the same one you might be looking at or that you will look at after the podcast. I found the research on this fascinating and I did find that things logically led to other things. It the pattern, the map, it all just sort of unveiled itself to me based on what I have created and what I have established. I didn’t run into any dead ends. I didn’t find something that contradicted something else. It all actually made sense. And that’s what led to the writing of BeCAUSE!—it all just continued to make sense and make sense and make sense and sometimes in an unnerving way. Look, I understand we don’t want to be deconstructed. We we we want to feel whole and sometimes thinking about monsters and unicorns and little programmatic psychological building blocks can sometimes be a little bit unnerving, but it can also be revealing. And the beauty of this is that it’s neither good nor bad. Sure, you can have a monster in place that’s doing something that’s really messing up your life, but that same monster might also be helping you in another aspect of your life. It’s about you recognizing it and not allowing it to have the control over your life that you don’t want. And ultimately, you stay in the driver’s seat. Conclusion So, I hope you enjoyed this. I did. I certainly enjoyed mapping all this out and doing the research. In fact, I did this for two other people. It made me reflect on my own monsters and unicorns, and I hope it did the same for you. If you’re indeed curious, feel free to pick up a copy of BeCAUSE!. And if you’re curious about your own map, let me know.

Context: Isaacson’s authorized biography details the specific incident where Musk was beaten so severely by bullies he was hospitalized for four days. Upon returning home, his father, Errol Musk, made him stand in front of him for two hours, called him a “loser,” and sided with the boy who attacked him. The Teenage Existential Crisis (Schopenhauer and Nietzsche): Source: Multiple interviews, including a notable deep-dive interview detailed in CleanTechnica (2018) and referenced in Isaacson’s biography. Context: Musk has publicly stated multiple times, “We happened to have some books by Nietzsche and Schopenhauer in the house, which you should not read at age 14. It is bad, it’s really negative.” He credits this period of reading with triggering a severe teenage existential crisis, leading to his lifelong obsession with finding “the meaning of life” and “understanding the right questions to ask” (which birthed the Unicorn of seeking purpose). The Dog Bite Trauma: Source: Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson (2023). Context: The biography details the incident where a young Elon was viciously bitten by a dog. He refused medical treatment until he was promised the dog wouldn’t be put down. The adults broke the promise and put the dog down anyway, cementing his early trauma regarding powerlessness, scarcity, and broken trust. Family Structure (14 Children / 4 Women): Source: Forbes Billionaires Profile (Updated March 2026). Context: Forbes officially verifies that Musk, driven by his vocal fears of population collapse, has fathered 14 children with four different women (including multiple sets of twins and triplets) and is currently not married.

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland Blood Moon Censors Revealed, Israel Iran Kirk, Connecting the Dots This broadcast by James Gilliland of ECETI, explores the intersections of current geopolitical upheavals, the hidden reality of extraterrestrial contact, and the underlying spiritual conflict shaping the human experience. The show outlines a narrative of transition from "Deep State" control toward a future aligned with universal law and multidimensional awareness. Geopolitical Shifts and the "Shadow Government" The discussion opens with an analysis of a global "reset" triggered by celestial alignments, coinciding with significant political turnover. There is a focus on the decline of the "unelected global elite" in the EU, specifically citing tensions between Italy's leadership and the European Commission. Domestically, the narrative highlights recent criminal referrals from the Director of National Intelligence involving high-ranking former officials for the alleged politicization of intelligence during the 2016 election. Furthermore, the speaker alleges the existence of a "shadow government" operating through back channels, suggesting that current administrative decisions are influenced by previous leadership structures rather than the sitting president. The Middle East Conflict and the "Greater Israel" Agenda The ongoing conflict involving Iran is framed as a maneuver by the "Deep State" to mire the U.S. in endless warfare. The speaker claims that false flag operations, allegedly conducted by intelligence agencies like Mossad, are being used to manipulate regional dynamics and draw the U.S. into defending specific agendas. There is a call to move past "tyranny meeting tyranny" and instead envision a Middle East where oil revenues are returned to the people and war-torn regions like Palestine and Iran are rebuilt through cooperation rather than expansionism. Suppressed ET Disclosure and the ECETI Experience A central portion of the document details the history of UFO/UAP sightings at the ECETI ranch, which have reportedly been witnessed by NASA officials, pilots, and thousands of visitors. The speaker criticizes the mainstream UFO community and "planned opposition" for censoring evidence of benevolent extraterrestrials—spiritually and technologically advanced beings—in favor of "fear-based" narratives or fuzzy, uncorroborated footage. Allegations are made regarding a long-term campaign of character assassination, physical threats, and financial sabotage intended to prevent the public from accessing undeniable evidence of contact. Spiritual Warfare and the Depopulation Agenda The narrative posits that humanity is in the midst of a multidimensional war involving "Archons" (unseen negative entities) and their physical hosts. These forces are linked to a "depopulation agenda" involving bioweapons (mislabelled as vaccines), chemtrails, and the poisoning of the food and water supply. Additionally, the speaker discusses the "demoralization of the masculine" and social engineering as tools used to weaken the family unit and individual resistance. The solution offered is an internal connection to the "Unified Field" or "Great Spirit," moving beyond religious "isms" and "schisms". The Path Forward: Awakening and Universal Law The document concludes with a call for a "full reset" of the human collective. This involves aligning with universal laws of peace and individual freedom, supporting evidence-based truth media, and recognizing the "monad" or unified field that connects all life. The speaker encourages individuals to trust their inner sensitivity, heal from negative influences, and prepare for a "quantum leap in evolution" as the "controlled narrative" inevitably collapses under the weight of the truth. The narrative presented is one of a world at a crossroads between systemic tyranny and spiritual liberation. By exposing the mechanisms of the "Deep State" and the reality of our multidimensional heritage, the speaker argues that humanity can transcend its current conflicts and join a broader, peaceful galactic community. The ultimate message is one of individual empowerment: "One on the side of God is the majority."

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Paul Andrews dives into the next step in mastering guitar improvisation: connecting your solos and improvisations to the underlying chords. Building on last week's focus on note control, this episode explores how targeting chord tones, especially the root, can help your improvisation sound more intentional, musical, and satisfying.Key TopicsImprovisation Roadmap:This month's focus is on breaking improvisation down into four stages: Practice, Control, Musical Awareness, and Expression.The Power of Limiting Notes:Recap of last week's three-note improvisation challenge and why restricting your choices can help with creativity and phrasing.Connecting to Harmony:Great improvisers don't just play notes from a scale—they choose notes that fit or resolve over the chords being played. This episode focuses on starting with the root note and expanding to other chord tones.Practical Example – "Stairway to Heaven" Backing Track:All examples use the A minor, G major, and F major chords, utilizing a 7-minute looped backing track from the solo section of "Stairway to Heaven." https://youtu.be/9A77WiMo2Is?si=KDM-5TwjMj9Qkv2Y What You'll LearnLanding on the Root Note:Why ending your phrases on the root note of the chord or key makes your improvisation sound more resolved and intentional.Locating Important Notes:Where the A notes are within the A minor pentatonic scale, and how to find the root notes of G and F within the backing track's progression.Targeting Chord Tones:How hitting the 1st, 3rd, or 5th note of each chord helps your phrases fit better and sound more musical.Chord tones for A minor: A, C, EChord tones for G major: G, B, DChord tones for F major: F, A, CChallenge of the Week:Paul Andrews introduces a multi-stage improvisation challenge:Start by resolving to root notes.Move on to targeting other chord tones (especially the 3rd).Try improvising with small arpeggios (playing chord notes out of order for melodic ideas).Experiment with approach notes—hitting a fret above or below a chord tone and sliding into it.Why Chord Tones Matter:Scales provide options; chord tones provide direction.Think of the scale as a road and the chord tones as your destinations along the way.Action ItemsTry the "Stairway to Heaven" backing track to practice targeting and landing on chord tones. https://youtu.be/9A77WiMo2Is?si=KDM-5TwjMj9Qkv2YVisit the Beginner Guitar Academy community if you're a member, to participate in the weekly improvisation challenge, ask questions, and get feedback.Use repetition, space, and phrasing in your improvisation—don't just focus on playing more notes.Check out Paul Andrews's past theory episodes (search for “chords” at bgapodcast.com) if you need a refresher on what chord tones are and how to find them.Next WeekStay tuned! The next episode will focus on rhythm and phrasing—showing why great improvisers often stand out not for their note choices, but for how they use rhythm and space.Remember:Great improvisation isn't about playing more notes; it's about making the notes you play count.If you enjoyed this episode, keep practicing, stay curious, and see you next week!

The first: California, Louisiana, Illinois, Texas, Utah, and countries across the world are passing laws requiring operating systems to collect your age at device setup and broadcast it to every app you install. The second: Google is requiring every Android app developer — even those who never touch the Play Store — to submit government ID, pay a fee, and register with Google, or have their apps blocked from 95% of Android devices worldwide by 2027. Both policies hit the privacy community hardest: the apps most threatened are the open-source tools, anonymous utilities, and F-Droid staples that privacy-conscious users depend on. In this episode, we break down both stories in plain language, connect the dots between them, and walk through practical steps every listener can take — from DeGoogled phones to VPNs to backing up your APKs before the window closes.

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks, the podcast that battles depression and everyday anxiety with the universal power of music. I'm your host, James Cox, and today we've got a truly special guest who embodies the ethos of our show: independent rocker‑songwriter Lee Isaacs.For the past four and a half years Lee has made Nashville his home, carving out a path that favors authenticity over industry labels. In this conversation he shares:Insider Nashville tips – from the bustling “Country Row” on Broadway to the hidden gems of Midtown (Live Oak, Tin Roof, Odie's) and his favorite food spots, including McDougal's hot chicken and Edley's BBQ.Songwriting stories – the spontaneous creation of “Runaway Romeo” during COVID, the narrative mystery behind “Spell on Me,” and the heartfelt tribute “Take Me Back to Lexington” that bridges his Kentucky roots with his Nashville life.The business side of being indie – why Lee founded his own publishing entity, Little Radical LLC, how he navigates self‑promotion, and the challenges and freedoms of running a solo label.Stagecraft and vulnerability – candid moments from his first Nashville gig, opening for Flo Rida, and the mental tricks musicians use to calm nerves before stepping on stage.Music as healing – the song U2's “Bad” that helped him through his dad's near‑fatal car accident, and his belief that music is “God's voice,” a language that connects us across languages, cultures, and generationsWhether you're a songwriter looking for inspiration, a budding indie artist curious about the business, or just someone who needs a reminder that music can mend the soul, this episode delivers raw honesty, practical advice, and a whole lot of heart.Grab your headphones, press play, and let Lee's story remind you why, when words fail, music always speaks.

In this special episode, you get a front row seat to listen to an actual intuitive reading.  Settle in for a dose of love, clarity, and insights as only non-physical can deliver it. What if the heaviness you've been carrying isn't even yours to hold?During this live reading, Cara connects with a client navigating deep fatigue, pressure, and uncertainty after a season of major change. What unfolds suggests that the weight surrounding her, which felt immovable, may be far more fluid, shared, and shiftable than it first appears.A curious invitation emerges as well: a small, playful detour that defies logic yet promises fresh energy and unexpected movement. As the session progresses, constriction gives way to spaciousness, and the possibility of relating to money, support, and daily life with more ease begins to come into view.Rather than calling for a dramatic life change, the guidance points toward gentle unwinding, renewed steadiness, and the quiet return of lightness.As you listen, notice what resonates in your body, what gives you that nudge feeling that it's meant for you too.  ✨Tap here to work with Cara in Master Your Magic - Intuitive Development School, where you can deepen your own abilities (whether you're an expert or novice) and build a tool box of energy work practices to change and improve every aspect of life.  https://www.caraviana.com/mymConnect with Cara!Website -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.caraviana.com/⁠⁠Instagram -⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/cara_viana/⁠⁠Facebook Page -⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/caraviana⁠⁠YouTube -⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/user/caraviana⁠Timestamps:00:00 Welcome to Playful Spirituality01:11 Live Reading Series Introduction03:05 How Readings Work09:11 Connecting with Higher Self13:19 Exploring Life Transitions14:43 Understanding the Sadness20:25 Energy Clearing Begins24:25 Clearing Home and Family27:06 Addressing Throat Constriction28:37 The Dance with Money31:01 Opening Exercise Practice34:50 Confronting Fear and Worthiness41:19 Clearing Ancestral Patterns43:59 Releasing Societal Beliefs48:07 Integration and Aftercare52:07 Master Your Magic

Ron Elliott, Director of Field Application Engineering at Digi International, spoke with Moshe Beauford of Technology Reseller News at the HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition about the growing challenge of connecting legacy medical equipment to modern healthcare networks. Elliott explained that hospitals often rely on critical devices that were designed decades ago—equipment that still performs essential clinical functions but lacks modern network connectivity. Digi International focuses on bridging that gap by enabling healthcare organizations to securely connect legacy medical devices to contemporary IT infrastructures without requiring costly equipment replacement. Through specialized connectivity solutions and device networking technology, Digi allows hospitals to integrate older equipment with electronic health record systems, monitoring platforms, and broader healthcare IT environments. This approach helps healthcare providers extend the life of expensive medical equipment while still benefiting from modern data integration and management capabilities. Elliott noted that this challenge is widespread across healthcare systems where capital equipment can remain in service for many years. “Many hospitals have critical devices that still work perfectly well but weren't designed for today's connected environments,” he said, highlighting the importance of solutions that bring those devices into secure and manageable networks. As healthcare organizations continue to digitize clinical workflows and expand connected care, Digi International's technologies provide a pathway for modernizing infrastructure while protecting existing investments in medical equipment.

A personal story about grandfather Raymond Smith, and the valuable lessons he learned from him about work ethic and success. Using his grandfather's 1983 Jeep Scrambler as a backdrop, Frank explores the importance of being someone truly impactful to your audience and customers. Episode Highlights Introduction: Frank introduces his grandfather, Raymond Smith, a self-made millionaire and former Jeep dealer with an eighth-grade education. The Jeep Scrambler: Frank showcases his grandfather's restored 1983 Jeep Scrambler, which holds deep personal value and serves as a reminder of his grandfather's legacy. Lessons in Hard Work: Frank recounts his teenage years working for his grandfather, who would pick him up early in the morning and task him with manual labor, such as knocking down walls with a sledgehammer. Work Ethic and Value: Through these experiences, Frank's grandfather taught him that success is earned through hard work, creating value, and perseverance. Connecting with Your Audience: Frank emphasizes the need to be "monumentally impactful" to followers and customers, creating a lasting association with transformation and benefit. The Core Question: Frank poses the essential question: "Who are you to the people that follow you?" and challenges listeners to consider who they want to be and can be to their audience. Key Takeaways Success isn't about doing a million things; it's about finding and leveraging one big thing. A strong work ethic and the ability to handle difficult tasks are fundamental to achieving your goals. Building a meaningful and impactful relationship with your audience is key to long-term business success.  

What if inflammation is quietly affecting your fertility? What if the key to improving egg quality and hormonal balance isn't just medical treatment, but the everyday choices you make? And what if understanding your body earlier could change your entire fertility journey?  In this episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine welcomes fertility specialist Dr. Natalie Crawford to explore how inflammation influences reproductive health and what women can do to support fertility from the inside out. Dr. Natalie Crawford is the author of The Fertility Formula, and she is here to share how her own experience with infertility and pregnancy loss shaped her passion for empowering patients with science-based fertility education.  Together, she and Dr. Shahine discuss the growing role of chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, environmental exposures, and lifestyle factors in fertility challenges. Dr. Crawford explains why fertility medicine often reacts too late in the process and why understanding hormones, ovarian reserve, and reproductive health earlier can help people advocate for themselves and make informed decisions. In this episode you'll hear: [2:32] Dr. Natalie Crawford's fertility journey [7:00] Chronic inflammation and fertility [20:59] Insulin resistance impacts hormones, ovulation, & egg quality [26:34] The connection between stress, cortisol, and fertility outcomes [28:09] Sleep is an important fertility-supporting habit [32:41] Strength training to improve hormone health [41:23] Nutrition basics that work [48:25] Dr. Crawford's framework: Educate, Advocate, Optimize [54:26] Connecting with Natalie Resources mentioned:  nataliecrawfordmd.com As A Woman Podcast @nataliecrawfordmd Instagram | TikTok | LinkedIn | YouTube   Ep 157 Why Sleep is the Most Powerful Habit You Can't Ignore with Dr. Meredith Broderick Dr. Shahine's Newsletter on Fertility News and Recommendations Follow @drlorashahine Instagram | YouTube | Tiktok | Her Books Join the Learn at Pinnacle app to earn FREE CE Credit for listening to this episode!

One of the best books I have ever read; in Cheryl's own words, it is a book about 'hiking and healing in the mountains'.                                             Bio- Floundering in her second career, the one she's always wanted, forty-eight-year-old Cheryl Suchors resolves that, despite a fear of heights, her mid-life success depends on hiking the highest of the grueling White Mountains in New Hampshire. All forty-eight of them. She endures injuries, novice mistakes, and the heartbreaking loss of a best friend. When breast cancer threatens her own life, she seeks solace and recovery in the wild. Her quest takes ten years. Regardless of the need since childhood to feel successful and in control, climbing teaches her mastery isn't enough and control is often an illusion. Connecting with friends and with nature, Suchors redefines success: she discovers a source of spiritual nourishment, spaces powerful enough to absorb her grief, and joy in the persistence of love and beauty. 48 Peaks inspires us to believe that, no matter what obstacles we face, we too can attain our summits.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant negativity and chaos in the world? In this powerful episode of the Rich Mind Podcast, Randy Wilson shares a deeply personal journey of moving from a state of constant self-sabotage and a "lack mindset" to one of peace, clarity, and success. He reveals a critical secret: the headlines, social media, and constant bad news are often just "noise" designed to keep you trapped in fear. Drawing on the universal Law of Polarity—the principle that everything has an equal and opposite—Randy explains that where there is perceived negativity, there is also an equal amount of opportunity and good. This episode is a call to action to "Turn Off the Noise" and reclaim control of your mind. Randy provides practical strategies, including a 5-second pause technique and the power of journaling, to help you catch your negative patterns and consciously flip them to see the abundance around you. If you are ready to stop being a victim of your external environment and start designing the life you desire, this episode is your essential guide.   Key Takeaways: The constant stream of negative news is often "noise" designed to keep you trapped in a state of fear and lack. To achieve success, you must first become aware of your own thinking patterns, especially the tendency to self-sabotage. The Law of Polarity states that for everything that appears negative, an equal and opposite positive exists. The ability to control the critical 5-second gap between a trigger and your reaction is the key to changing your results. "Turning Off the Noise" (news, social media) is a practical and necessary step to reclaim your mental clarity. Connecting with your inner child and the things you loved to do as a kid can help you discover your true purpose and passion.   Questions Answered in This Episode: Why do I automatically look for the negative in every new opportunity? How can I stop self-sabotaging my own success? What is the Law of Polarity and how can it change my perspective? How can I protect my mind from the constant negativity in the news and media? What are practical ways to "turn off the noise" in my daily life? How can I find more peace and clarity when the world feels chaotic?   Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson.

Travis Chappell is a former door-to-door sales pro turned top business podcaster and founder, who has recorded over 1,500 episodes and read more than 200 non-fiction books to level up his mindset and income. In this solo episode, he opens up his personal notes and “audio journal” to share the exact questions he asks himself to break out of stagnation, take bigger swings, and reset his thinking when life punches him in the mouth. On this episode we talk about: Why the quality of your life tracks the quality of the questions you ask yourself How “When was the last time I risked embarrassment?” exposes if you've been playing too small Connecting risk and reward with “When was the last time I got something I wanted?” Using the frame “It happened, now what?” to stop complaining and start solving The “No bullshit, what would it take?” question that turns “impossible” goals into concrete plans Top 3 Takeaways If you aren't regularly risking embarrassment, you're probably not putting yourself in positions where extraordinary outcomes are even possible. The biggest wins in your life usually follow periods where you willingly risk failure, rejection, or looking foolish—and that first big win becomes a confidence superpower for future risks. Shifting from blame to agency (“It happened, now what?” and “No bullshit, what would it take?”) trains your brain to look for solutions and opportunity instead of excuses. Notable Quotes “The quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions that you ask.” “If you're not willing to risk embarrassment, then you're probably not ever going to achieve anything outside of the ordinary.” “No bullshit, what would it take?” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell​ ​Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell ​Other: https://travischappell.com ​  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.
