Hawks and United Broadcaster Mike Conti talks about just how big the World Cup has been in its first few days locally and nationally, Spain and Cabo Verde playing a scoreless draw, if Cabo Verde can advance out of the group now, the strong performance for the US Men's National Team, needing a result against Australia to be comfortable with their group standing, and the NBA heading into draft season with the Finals done.
Think about the last time you tried to work on yourself. Chances are you started with a list of everything that's wrong with you — what you don't like, what you should be doing, and what you want to "fix." But what if thinking about yourself as "broken" is the thing that's keeping you stuck? My guest today is Dr. Paul Conti, a Harvard- and Stanford-trained psychiatrist who runs the group practice Pacific Premier Group. He started out in the business world, but after losing his brother to suicide, he turned to mental health full-time. He's the author of Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic and his new book, What's Going Right. Some of the things we discuss are: Why leading with "what's wrong with me" might make you avoid looking at your mental health altogether How losing his brother to suicide changed how Dr. Conti sees high-functioning people who are silently struggling The three drives that shape your mental health — and the one that determines whether you actually feel happy with your life Why high-functioning, hard-working people often have a low generative drive without realizing it Why doing more isn't always the answer — and when doing less is a better choice The two completely opposite stories you can tell about your own life (and why you get to choose which one is true) The question to ask yourself every morning that shifts you out of dread Related Episodes 236 — 10 Myths About Mental Health That Are Holding You Back 308 — Pause.

Ben and Rob disappear into the monkey suit and hit the dusty New Mexico road with Sunlight (2024), the feature directing debut of Nina Conti, co-written with and co-starring Shenoah Allen, with Bill Wise and Melissa Chambers rounding out the cast. What begins as a tale built around a familiar prop from Conti's ventriloquism act slowly unfolds into something far more layered; a conversation about a desperate, near-mythical journey from stage gimmick to fully realised film, a writing process built almost entirely on improvisation and trust between two performers, and a story that somehow uses a sweaty, full-body monkey costume to say something about grief, trauma, and the long road back to facing reality.How does an act this strange and specific make the leap from comedy stage to feature film? When a script is built on improvisation rather than a traditional draft, what gets lost and what gets gained, and how do two co-writers find a shared rhythm inside that chaos? Beneath the absurdity, what is Sunlight actually saying about mental health, about a man who has survived his own worst moment, and about a woman who would rather live inside a costume than face what happened to her? And finally, when the mask comes off, literally or otherwise, what does Sunlight really mean?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS we have a Patreon with EXCLUSIVE content just for you starting at less than £2 a month - Click the link below!Find us on your socials of choice at www.linktr.ee/everymovieeverpodcast

Join Michael at his Mt. Shasta Summer Retreat, July 30 - August 2! Sign up by June 14 to receive Early Bird Savings! Click here: https://events.agapelive.com/mt-shasta-summer-retreat/ Today, Michael welcomes Dr. Paul Conti. Dr. Paul Conti is a celebrity-endorsed psychiatrist, renowned author, and President of Pacific Premier Group PC, a comprehensive mental health clinic providing therapy, coaching, and consulting services to individuals, families, and businesses in the United States and abroad. He has been featured on leading podcasts with hosts including Tim Ferriss, Andrew Huberman, and Mel Robbins. In his latest book, What's Going Right , Dr. Conti offers a paradigm-shifting approach to mental health, highlighting the brain's "generative drive"—the innate force that fuels creativity, connection, purpose, and resilience. Rather than focusing on what's wrong, he provides practical tools for cultivating peace, contentment, emotional well-being, and ultimately, a more joyful life. Conversation Highlights include: -Mental health is not a matter of being either healthy or broken, but an ongoing practice that requires the same care, attention, and maintenance as physical health. -A powerful shift in perspective reveals how focusing exclusively on "what's wrong" creates blind spots, while beginning with "what's going right" opens the door to honest self-awareness and lasting change. -An exploration of the three core human drives—assertion, pleasure, and the generative drive—and why creating goodness, meaning, and contribution is essential for a fulfilling life. -The importance of approaching yourself with compassionate curiosity rather than shame, criticism, or fear when uncovering patterns that no longer serve your well-being. -Why cynicism often develops as protection against disappointment, yet ultimately blocks connection, joy, trust, and the ability to recognize goodness in life. -A practical framework for understanding the structure and function of self, offering a roadmap for personal growth, emotional healing, and greater resilience. -A discussion on meditation as a pathway to mental clarity, emotional regulation, inner peace, and a healthier relationship with your thoughts. -Insight into how recurring challenges—especially in relationships—can reveal unconscious patterns that become opportunities for deeper self-understanding and transformation. -The concept of life narrative and how many people unconsciously define themselves by failures and disappointments while overlooking their resilience, strength, and successes. Next, Michael closes the episode with a guided meditation centered on empowering questions that activate possibility, shift perception, and invite the mind to discover evidence of abundance, health, and goodness.
There is a moment in every conversation about cybercrime when the criminal stops being a shadow and becomes a person with a desk, a calendar, and a complaint about Monday. That moment is the one that interests me. For years I've been told cybersecurity is a technical problem. Firewalls, patches, acronyms nobody outside the room understands. And it is, partly. But sit with Geoff White for fifteen minutes at InfoSecurity Europe and the technical layer becomes what it always was underneath: people. People who get out of bed, argue with their partners, drink too much vodka after a breakup, and worry about a grandmother in the hospital — while running an extortion racket that, somewhere else, is shutting down the hospital treating someone else's grandmother. Geoff is an investigative journalist and author who has built a career out of refusing to let crime stay abstract. His new BBC series, Cyber Hack — the strand that grew out of The Lazarus Heist — turns its attention to one of the world's biggest ransomware gangs, Conti. And here is the detail that stayed with me: he has read their mail. Three hundred thousand internal messages, leaked, written by the criminals themselves when they assumed no one was watching. A journalist's candy store, as he called it. Also a nightmare — in Russian, thick with slang, mistranslated so often that “Bitcoin” comes out as “cue ball” and money hides behind the word for “grandmothers.” What fascinates me is not the heist. It is the self-portrait. Because the gang does not see a gang. They see a company. They have clients, they say. Customers. Negotiations conducted professionally. Some of them even hand the victim a report afterward — here is how we got in, here is what you should fix — as though extortion were a security audit with an invoice attached. Geoff has a theory I find hard to argue with: extortion is exhausting work for a smart person to do every day, so the brain quietly rewrites the job description. Criminal becomes businessman. The part that knows the truth shrinks. The story they tell themselves takes over. I'm Italian, so of course The Godfather arrived uninvited in the middle of our conversation. It's a business. Nothing personal. We laughed — I get to make that joke and Geoff doesn't — but underneath the laugh is something genuinely unsettling, and it has nothing to do with hackers. It's about all of us. We are all narrating ourselves into the people we'd prefer to be. The ransomware gang simply does it with higher stakes and worse intentions. This is why storytelling isn't decoration on top of cybersecurity. It's the only tool that makes the invisible visible. Geoff's last BBC series landed at number seven on the US charts, a few slots below Joe Rogan, because he tells these stories as stories — with the technical iceberg sitting safely below the waterline. People learn when they aren't being lectured. And we should learn, quickly. The same week I'm laughing about cue balls, Geoff describes cloning his own mother's voice with an AI tool and phoning her. She thought the line was just a little muffled. I told him what I tell my parents: if anything feels strange, hang up and call me directly. A pre-digital instinct, used as armor against a very digital trick. So what do we carry forward, and what do we leave behind? We carry the stories. We leave behind the comfortable idea that any of this is happening somewhere else, to someone else. The new season of Cyber Hack is expected in July. Listen to it — not because it will scare you, though it might, but because it makes a hidden world legible, and legibility is where every defense we have begins. Geoff's books and the show are linked below. And if you'd like more of these conversations, subscribe to the newsletter at marcociappelli.com.

Le operazioni di fusione e acquisizione (M&A) in Italia sono spesso influenzate tanto dalla politica e dalle personalità quanto dalla massimizzazione del profitto. Questo rende l'acquisizione di Monte dei Paschi di Siena da parte di Banca Intesa, per un valore di 30 miliardi di euro, una rara eccezione." È quanto scrive il Financial Times in un editoriale pubblicato nella sezione Lex dal titolo "L'offerta di Intesa per il Monte dei Paschi di Siena ripristina un po' di buon senso nella scena delle Fusioni e Acquisizioni italiane". "Intesa ha scelto l'obiettivo giusto, nel senso che le prospettive di MPS, istituto di credito toscano, non sono brillanti. La banca è alle prese con la complessa integrazione della rivale Mediobanca, acquisita lo scorso anno. Inoltre, la sua governance è estremamente fragile: gli azionisti, in perenne conflitto tra loro, hanno recentemente estromesso e reintegrato l'amministratore delegato Luigi Lovaglio in rapida successione. La scorsa settimana, secondo i dati di S&P Capital IQ, Mps è stata quotata a un prezzo inferiore al suo valore contabile tangibile, risultando quindi sottovalutata rispetto agli standard bancari europei", osserva il quotidiano della City. Nella sua mossa su Mps "Intesa sarà difficile da battere: secondo i calcoli di Lex, potrebbe migliorare la sua offerta di un paio di miliardi senza compromettere il valore dell'azienda. Ma la finanza non racconta tutta la storia. Se la banca dovesse avere successo, si ritroverebbe anche con la quota del 16% di Mediobanca in Generali, ampiamente considerata un asset strategico per l'Italia. Per questo motivo, una vittoria di Intesa potrebbe essere allettante anche per il Primo Ministro Giorgia Meloni, in quanto ridurrebbe le possibilità che Generali finisca in mani straniere. La differenza rispetto ad altri accordi graditi a Roma è che anche il capitalismo italiano potrebbe considerare questo un successo", scrive il Financial Times.Il commento di Salvatore Rossi, economista, dal 2013 al 2019 ha ricoperto la carica di direttore generale di Banca d'Italia e Daniel Gros, direttore Institute for European Policy Making, Bocconi.Brennero, maxi danni dai divieti «serve l'arbitro Ue per i valichi»Quando si blocca il Brennero, non si fermano soltanto i camion: si rallentano l'economia italiana, l'export, l'agroalimentare, la manifattura, la continuità delle forniture verso il Nord Europa e gli approvvigionamenti di materie prime e semilavorati alle nostre industrie di trasformazione. Il Brennero è l'asse portante del corridoio Scandinavo-Mediterraneo e un'infrastruttura europea strategica per il sistema economico. Sul tema Brennero servono soluzioni europee condivise, non divieti unilaterali. Tra le richieste: il completamento nei tempi previsti del tunnel ferroviario di base (Bbt) e delle relative tratte di accesso per ampliare la capacità del trasporto su rotaia, investimenti per rendere l'autostrada A22 del Brennero ancora più moderna, l'eliminazione dei divieti di transito notturno in Tirolo. Così Leopoldo Destro, vicepresidente di Confindustria per i trasporti, la logistica e l'industria del Turismo, sintetizza il sentimento delle imprese. Destro è a Trento, ospite di un convegno organizzato da Confindustria Regionale Tentino-Alto Adige dove si discute di Brennero e dell'importanza di questo corridoio alpino per tutta l'economia italiana. Presenti, tra gli altri, i presidenti di Confindustria Trentino-Alto Adige, Alexander Rieper; Confindustria Trento, Lorenzo Delladio; Confindustria Veneto, Raffaele Boscaini; il presidente della Provincia autonomia di Trento, Maurizio Fugatti. In un videomessaggio, il ministro delle Infrastrutture Matteo Salvini, ribadisce l'attenzione del governo verso i territori del Trentino-Alto Adige e annuncia: «Siamo al 95% degli scavi della nuova galleria ferroviaria del Brennero (linea Fortezza-Innsbruck), con l'obiettivo di aprire l'opera nel 2033 per ridurre i tempi di collegamento tra l'Italia e il cuore dell'Europa». È intervenuto Leopoldo Destro, vicepresidente di Confindustria per Trasporti, Logistica e Industria del Turismo.Ponte sullo Stretto, la procura di Roma indaga per corruzioneLa Procura di Roma indaga per corruzione e rivelazione del segreto di ufficio nell ambito del progetto per la realizzazione del Ponte sullo Stretto di Messina. In base a quanto emerge da una nota diffusa dall ufficio giudiziario, l ufficio ha delegato i carabinieri del Ros all esecuzione di un decreto di perquisizione a carico di tre persone tra cui un ex presidente aggiunto dalla Corte di Conti, Tommaso Miele, (in quiescenza dal febbraio scorso), l'avvocato già Consigliere di amministrazione della società Stretto di Messina Spa , Giacomo Francesco Saccomanno, e l'imprenditore Vincenzo Virgoglio, indicato come responsabile delle relazioni esterne dell'associazione "Accademia Calabria". Le indagini hanno documentato le condotte dei tre indagati tese a condizionare l esame di legittimità della Corte dei Conti sull approvazione del progetto definitivo per la realizzazione dell opera pubblica. Secondo quanto emerge dalla nota diffusa dalla Procura capitolina l avvocato e l imprenditore indagati al fine di condizionare il citato esame della Corte dei Conti in favore della società Stretto di Messina Spa , avrebbero avvicinato il giudice contabile promettendogli il loro appoggio per ricoprire cariche in enti di diritto pubblico dopo il suo pensionamento, subordinandolo alla sua fattiva azione per il concretizzarsi dell esigenza citata . Secondo l impianto accusatorio i due avrebbero anche tentato di avvicinare altri magistrati ritenuti utili agli interessi del gruppo per la realizzazione dell opera infrastrutturale e rivelato, a soggetti terzi, notizie coperte da segreto, acquisite dal giudice della Corte dei Conti indagato. Quest ultimo, dal canto suo, avrebbe offerto - si legge nella nota - la propria disponibilità, fornendo costanti aggiornamenti sull andamento della procedura condotta dalla Corte Contabile, rivelando informazioni riservate sugli orientamenti dei colleghi magistrati contabili e sullo sviluppo della relativa Camera di Consiglio in adunanza plenaria della Corte stessa . Inoltre il magistrato contabile avrebbe esaminato la decisione sfavorevole del 29 ottobre del 2025, impegnandosi a predisporre, nell interesse della Stretto di Messina Spa , una memoria sulla vicenda da consegnare al commercialista della società manifestando, in cambio, l interesse a diventare Presidente dell'Antitrust o di una società partecipata. Il commento di Ivan Cimarusti, Il Sole 24 Ore.
Nell'ambito del progetto per la realizzazione del Ponte sullo Stretto di Messina la procura di Roma indaga per corruzione e rivelazione del segreto di ufficio. Il decreto di perquisizione è a carico di 3 persone tra cui un ex presidente aggiunto della Corte di Conti, un avvocato già consigliere di amministrazione della società "Stretto di Messina Spa" e un imprenditore.

Tony Lombardi from Lombardi Wines is our guest on California Wine Country with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell. This is his first time on the show. The winery is located in the Petaluma Gap, which we have described in many recent episodes. This episode from 2018 is about the 3rd anniversary of the Petaluma Gap AVA, We start with Chardonnay, which Dan says is in the mold of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, which is an estate in Burgundy, in the Côte d’Or region in east-central France. They produce red and white wines of distinction. If you visit DRC, as it is known, they serve the reds first, then the whites. They believe in the richness and the full-bodied character of Le Montrachet. Dan says that this wine from Lombardi wines has that character which makes it an exciting wine.-•• • --- -•• --- .–. .-California Wine Country is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards. Visit Deodora to discover 72 acres in the Petaluma Gap that produce exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Sip the difference! -•• • --- -•• --- .–. .- The Lombardi Family The Lombardi family has been in Sonoma County since the ’40s. Tony has been a winemaker for 30 years. He grew up in Sebastopol and calls Sonoma County the Garden of Eden. Tony is happy to work with a friend from high school named Mike Sullivan. He got access to a few tons of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the Maratella vineyard in the Russian River Valley. Tony only made 8 barrels of this wine. He used one old barrel, seven new ones, and some stainless steel. He fermented different vineyards together, then they went into different barrels. Later he blended them all together. Dan calls it a classic example of a Russian River Valley Chardonnay. It has just a hint of oak. Tony wants the oak to just capture the edges and round it out. You want subtleness and integration, so you you catch a little bit of crème brulée, or lemon curd, or minerality. Dan says, put this wine with the right food and it get better. Tony suggests Dustin Valette’s Scallops en croute. If a Chardonnay is too buttery and oaky, it can overpower the flavors in the food. Dan noticed that Russian River Valley Chardonnay has citrus flavors that contribute to the acidity. It’s something you don’t want to lose in your blending. This vineyard is west of the town of Santa Rosa. It has some inland warmth compared to his place in Petaluma Gap. Next they taste two Pinot Noirs. In Tony’s career he has learned about regions and wines from all over the world. Now he has settled into Chardonnay and Pinot Noir which he likes for their versatility. Every March, he is part of a festival called Pigs and Pinot. Tony can blend a couple of barrels of Gap’s Crown vineyard in with the Russian River Valley fruit.

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: a single bottle of 1945 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti sold for $812,000, a record driven by its last pre-replant vintage from century-old Burgundy vines, and John calls it the greatest wine he has tasted. A 19-year-old mustang named Gringo set a Guinness World Record by performing 38 tricks in 2:47 using clicker training and positive reinforcement. In North Sumatra, an orangutan finally used a canopy rope bridge installed to safely cross a road splitting a habitat of about 350 wild orangutans, easing risks like car strikes and genetic isolation. In Paris, a man won Picasso's 1941 “Head of a Woman” via a 100-euro charity raffle that sold 120,000 tickets and raised 12 million euros for Alzheimer's research. A Southwest Oakland flight was delayed after a passenger's four-foot, 70-pound robot, Bebop, had its oversized lithium battery removed.5 Good News Stories is a daily podcast with five positive, uplifting news stories to brighten your day.

Professor Andrew Bayliss introduces the primary sources for Spartan history: Herodotus, who recorded epic narratives; Thucydides, who focused on clinical analysis and the "Thucydides Trap"; and Xenophon, a student of Socrates who continued Thucydides' unfinished history. Each historian provided a distinct perspective on Sparta's rise and fall. 1835
Mace and Jeff put Matt Walsh's antidepressant episode under the clinical microscope — and it does not pass the functional impairment test. They break down the 2022 Molecular Psychiatry umbrella review that dismantled the low-serotonin narrative, explain why that finding doesn't indict SSRIs as a category, and make the case that the “chemical imbalance” pitch was always more pharmaceutical advertising than clinical science. They also tackle what functional impairment actually means in diagnosis, the gender disparity in antidepressant prescribing, whether the SSRI-to-mass-violence argument is causal or just really committed to showing up in the same sentence, and what clinicians should actually be telling clients about medications they can't fully explain. For anyone who has ever explained serotonin to a client and quietly wondered if they knew what they were talking about: this one's for you. Music: “Machine Heart – Instrumental version” by Icarus.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 28 Maggio 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Energia, Geopolitica e PNRRTestate: Corriere della Sera / Repubblica / La Stampa / Il Giornale / MF / La Verità* Energia e fondi Ue: Italia in pressing su Bruxelles. Il Governo punta a usare maggiore flessibilità europea per fronteggiare il caro energia, anche tramite risorse legate al PNRR/RepowerEU. Il nodo è strategico: ridurre il costo dell'energia per imprese e famiglie senza compromettere il percorso di consolidamento dei conti pubblici.* PNRR: avanzamento positivo, ma con rimodulazioni importanti. Repubblica sottolinea che il Piano ha subito modifiche e cancellazioni di obiettivi; Il Giornale evidenzia invece il raggiungimento di riforme e target. Il dato chiave resta la prossima rata: 28 miliardi, con ulteriori 23 miliardi collegati a risultati da completare. Lettura positiva: il PNRR resta un acceleratore di investimenti, ma la qualità della spesa sarà decisiva.* FMI: crescita debole e debito elevato. Il Fondo stima per l'Italia un PIL al +0,5% nel 2025, 2026 e 2027; debito/PIL al 137% nel 2025 e 138% nel 2026-2027; inflazione all'1,6% nel 2025, 2,6% nel 2026, 2,4% nel 2027. Il messaggio per il management è chiaro: scenario stabile, ma crescita insufficiente.* Stretto di Hormuz e Iran: rischio geopolitico sui prezzi energetici. Corriere e Repubblica leggono le tensioni Usa-Iran come fattore di rischio per petrolio, gas e catene logistiche. Per le imprese italiane resta centrale coprirsi dal rischio energia e supply chain.Fisco, Normativa e Conti PubbliciTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Repubblica / Domani / Il Giornale* Cartelle fiscali: arretrati a quota 1.331 miliardi.

È un KPI critico perché evidenzia la distanza tra credito teorico dello Stato e reale capacità di riscossione.* Conti pubblici sotto osservazione, ma Italia ancora resiliente. Il Giornale parla di “conti sotto stress” ma con tenuta del Paese. La chiave positiva è che, nonostante debito elevato e bassa crescita, il sistema Italia mantiene credibilità, anche grazie alla ricchezza privata e alla manifattura esportatrice.* Legge elettorale: impatto economico indiretto. Le notizie politiche sono molte, ma qui rileva solo l'effetto business: maggiore governabilità può ridurre incertezza normativa; al contrario, forzature istituzionali possono aumentare volatilità politica percepita.Banche, Credito e FinanzaTestate: MF / Il Sole 24 Ore* BCE: i governi fuori dal risiko bancario.

MF evidenzia il confronto sul settore real estate.

Repubblica riporta che nel commercio e turismo, nel 2024, gli occupati “stabili” sono il 67,1% e gli “atipici” il 32,9%; tra i giovani fino a 34 anni gli stabili scendono al 53,2%, mentre gli atipici salgono al 46,8%. È un freno alla produttività, ma anche un'area di possibile intervento su formazione e contratti.* Transizione demografica: tre proposte per superarla. Il Sole 24 Ore mette al centro natalità, competenze e lavoro. Per imprese e consulenti il messaggio è chiaro: il capitale umano sarà la vera infrastruttura competitiva del Paese.* Spagna: boom economico ma salari deboli. La Stampa descrive una crescita spagnola a due velocità: PIL e attrattività crescono, ma i salari restano sotto pressione. È un benchmark utile per l'Italia: crescita quantitativa e qualità del lavoro devono procedere insieme.

What if everything you've been told about mental health is backwards? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown in honor of Mental Health Month, Dr. Paul Conti (psychiatrist & President of Pacific Premier Group PC) reveals why focusing on what's wrong with you may actually be keeping you stuck, and how a completely different approach can unlock resilience, hope, and real change. We dive into the shocking truth that MORE THAN HALF of physical health issues may originate from mental health, and why treating symptoms alone (with medication or endless information) often misses the root cause entirely. You'll learn why overdiagnosis is more dangerous than you think, how self-fulfilling prophecies quietly shape your reality, and why “feeling fine” might be the biggest thing holding you back. Dr. Conti breaks down the hidden long-term effects of trauma, including how it impacts longevity and can even be passed down genetically, and why the cycle of intergenerational trauma can stop with you. He shares his personal story, the critical difference between grief and trauma, and why letting go of guilt and shame is essential for true healing. We explore why mental health stigma still exists despite everyone talking about it, why it's so emotionally difficult to examine your own mind, and why you can't separate mental and physical health, no matter how much we try. We also discuss: - Hidden root behind multiple symptoms you didn't know were connected - Why more information won't help unless you can actually apply it - Surprising reason relief from distress doesn't equal happiness - How your recurring thoughts may be shaping your entire life - Why giving back can make you feel whole in ways nothing else can Plus, we tackle some of the most controversial topics in modern mental health: - When medication should (and shouldn't) be used - Dangers of turning to AI for therapy - Why elevating science to the level of “truth” can actually limit human growth Most importantly, Dr. Conti introduces a powerful, practical framework: using compassionate curiosity to re-examine your life story - so you can begin healing, even without professional therapy. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're missing something important about your own mind, this conversation might change how you see yourself forever!

This conversation with the incredible Dr. Paul Conti changed how I look at mental health. We've all been taught that we're driven by aggression or pleasure—but Paul reveals there is a third "Generative Drive" that is the actual key to our wellness. In this episode, we dive deep into his new book, What's Going Right. We talk about why we are so "lost" in negativity, how to move past the stigma of mental health, and the practical "self-inquiry" tools you can use to pull your unconscious patterns out of the "basement" and into the light.

Returning guests Cecilia Conti and Josh Reinhold join Torie to eviscerate the cultural climate's pathetic answer to a feminist take on an erotic thriller, THE HOUSEMAID (2025). Starring everyone's favorite MAGA-loving bimbo, Sydney Sweeney, the phenomenally talented Amanda Seyfried, and a lesser-Hemsworth-coded hunk named Brendan Sklenar (who Josh looooves), this film undoubtedly caters to the true crime-obsessed, Colleen Hoover-reading, Lifetime™-loving audience. Featuring disappointingly little sex, atrocious clothing, unnecessarily gratuitous violence, and awful one-liners, this "for women, by women" film fails to meet its intended goal of feminist rhetoric. Despite a truly bang-up performance from Amanda Seyfried, it barely even meets the criteria for a solid hate-watch. Amid the discourse, Torie struggles not to sound like a misogynist discussing Sydney Sweeney's most famous attributes, and everyone fails (again and again) to correctly pronounce Seyfried.
Hawks and United Broadcaster Mike Conti talks about what the Hawks could do with the #8 pick, the options the Hawks have that could end with them not selecting at #8, the NBA Draft Lottery showcasing that tanking worked, if the Jazz could trade spots with the Wizards, just how hot the Knicks have gotten since Game 4 of the Hawks series, and the other results in the NBA Playoffs.

Dr. Paul Conti is a psychiatrist, trauma specialist, and author whose work centers on one deceptively simple idea: that understanding yourself is the most powerful thing you can do for your mental health. In this conversation, we explore how the unconscious mind quietly sets the boundaries for how we think, feel, and move through life, and how much of what we assume is just "who we are" was actually formed long before we had the words for it.What struck me most in this conversation is Paul's insistence that looking inward doesn't have to be frightening. He introduces the concept of the generative drive, the part of us that moves toward creativity, altruism, and genuine contribution, and makes a compelling case that this is what separates a life that feels full from one that simply accumulates. We also get into the myths we build from isolated facts, why the traditional psychiatric model falls short, and what it actually means to bring compassionate curiosity to yourself.BiOptimizers - Best magnesium to enhance your sleephttps://www.bioptimizers.com/knowthyselfUse code KNOWTHYSELF for 15% off at checkoutTry LMNT & get a free sample pack https://drinkLMNT.com/KnowThyselfAndré's Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro02:05 Assessing Mental Health Like Physical Health03:04 The Unconscious Mind and Its Hidden Influence06:30 How Identity Forms in Early Childhood08:23 Compassionate Curiosity as a Practice11:02 Empowerment, Agency, and the Healthy Self15:34 The Assertion, Pleasure, and Generative Drives24:26 What Humility Actually Means27:09 Ad: BiOptimizers28:18 Shame, Feelings, and the Lessons We Carry35:10 How Memories Build the Myth of Self42:32 Ad: LMNT43:41 Waking Up vs. Growing Up48:10 The Limits of Diagnosis-Driven Psychiatry51:07 What We're Really Striving For58:18 Self-Worth and External Achievement1:02:12 Anxiety as Adaptive and Maladaptive1:09:52 Defense Mechanisms and How They Shape Us1:16:51 Tools for Self-Inquiry and Lasting Change1:25:52 Repeated Patterns and Relational Wounds1:29:45 Hard-Won Growth and Gratitude1:32:12 Paul's Personal Story: Loss and the Path to Medicine1:37:17 Presence, Suffering, and the Art of Helping1:41:35 Closing Message: Your Mind Is Your Friend___________Episode Resources: https://www.drpaulconti.com/https://www.amazon.com/Whats-Going-Right-Powerful-Optimizing/dp/1538776049https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com
