Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by journalist and best-selling author Nina Burleigh to unpack the latest Epstein document dumps and what they reveal about power, money, and protection at the highest levels. Nina is a prolific writer, from her Substack American Freakshow to her many books, including The Trump Women: Part of the Deal, which examines the women closest to Trump. We dig into how Epstein gained extraordinary access, why so many powerful figures still fear transparency, and what the documents expose about Trump's inner circle. We also discuss the growing risk of war in Venezuela, Trump's latest corruption schemes, and the open white nationalism poisoning the country.

Hi Mamas, Download my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨ In this Monday Mindset, we're continuing the Becoming Her series by focusing on an often-overlooked part of a working mom's identity… the partner she's becoming. As life gets busier with work, kids, schedules, and mental load, marriage often slips into survival mode. Conversations turn into to-do lists. Connection gets pushed to “someday.” And before you know it, you're managing life together… but not really connecting anymore. In today's episode, Kerri reminds you that this doesn't mean your marriage is broken… it means it's busy. And busy seasons don't require more effort… they require more intention.

Dating doesn't hit the same when you've already done the chaos era. In this episode, Stormy Pea talks about choosing peace over potential, why infatuation used to run her life, recognizing cheating patterns before the proof shows up, judging men by their hatred of Megan Thee Stallion, and why asking for protection doesn't make you “crazy.” Funny, honest, and painfully relatable — this episode is for anyone who likes him… but likes their peace more.

When artist Vincent Fantauzzo was a boy he was a street-fighting petty criminal with dyslexia and a blazing talent for drawing. He escaped jail time, and grew up to become one of Australia's most well-known portrait artists.VIncent Fantauzzo is one of Australia's most successful portrait artists.For his luminous, photo-realistic paintings he's won the People's Choice Award at the annual Archibald Prize more than any other artist.He's also won the Moran National Portrait Prize twice, once with a painting of his friend, filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, and the second time with a painting of his wife, actor Asher Keddie.All the success is a long way from his upbringing in Broadmeadows in Melbourne, when at times it seemed like he was going to end up in jail, or dead.Vincent struggled so badly with dyslexia that he developed elaborate rituals to avoid writing at school, which is partly how he came to drawing. He became a street-fighting petty criminal and he was kicked out of school at 14 and was drawn into a violent world where he had to be extraordinarily streetwise to survive.Vincent still carries the scars of surviving his childhood into the big, beautiful life he's built for himself as one of Australia's most well-known artists.This episode of Conversations explores origin stories, social disadvantage, parenting, father son relationships, boxing, learning disabilities, struggling in school, Hollywood, the art world, Heath Ledger, Kim Ledger, Batman, family, family dynamics, life story, art, portraits, painting, juvenile crime, drug dealing, hot houses, brothers.Unveiled, written with Craig Henderson, is published by Penguin.To binge even more great episodes of the ‘Conversations podcast' with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Javier Villar for a wide-ranging conversation on Argentina, Spain's political drift, fiat money, the psychology of crowds, Dr. Hawkins' levels of consciousness, the role of elites and intelligence agencies, spiritual warfare, and whether modern technology accelerates human freedom or deepens control. Javier speaks candidly about symbolism, the erosion of sovereignty, the pandemic as a global turning point, and how spiritual frameworks help make sense of political theater.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart and Javier compare Argentina and Spain, touching on cultural similarity, Argentinization, socialism, and the slow collapse of fiat systems.05:00 They explore Brave New World conditioning, narrative control, traditional Catholics, and the psychology of obedience in the pandemic.10:00 Discussion shifts to Milei, political theater, BlackRock, Vanguard, mega-corporations, and the illusion of national sovereignty under a single world system.15:00 Stewart and Javier examine China, communism, spiritual structures, karmic cycles, Kali Yuga, and the idea of governments at war with their own people.20:00 They move into Revelations, Hawkins, calibrations, conspiracy labels, satanic vs luciferic energy, and elites using prophecy as a script.25:00 Conversation deepens into ego vs Satan, entrapment networks, Epstein Island, Crowley, Masonic symbolism, and spiritual corruption.30:00 They question secularism, the state as religion, technology, AI, surveillance, freedom of currency, and the creative potential suppressed by government.35:00 Ending with Bitcoin, stablecoins, network-state ideas, U.S. power, Argentina's contradictions, and whether optimism is still warranted.Key InsightsArgentina and Spain mirror each other's decline. Javier argues that despite surface differences, both countries share cultural instincts that make them vulnerable to the same political traps—particularly the expansion of the welfare state, the erosion of sovereignty, and what he calls the “Argentinization” of Spain. This framing turns the episode into a study of how nations repeat each other's mistakes.Fiat systems create a controlled collapse rather than a dramatic one. Instead of Weimar-style hyperinflation, Javier claims modern monetary structures are engineered to “boil the frog,” preserving the illusion of stability while deepening dependency on the state. This slow-motion decline is portrayed as intentional rather than accidental.Political leaders are actors within a single global architecture of power. Whether discussing Milei, Trump, or European politics, Javier maintains that governments answer to mega-corporations and intelligence networks, not citizens. National politics, in this view, is theater masking a unified global managerial order.Pandemic behavior revealed mass submission to narrative control. Stewart and Javier revisit 2020 as a psychological milestone, arguing that obedience to lockdowns and mandates exposed a widespread inability to question authority. For Javier, this moment clarified who can perceive truth and who collapses under social pressure.Hawkins' map of consciousness shapes their interpretation of good and evil. They use the 200 threshold to distinguish animal from angelic behavior, exploring whether ego itself is the “Satanic” force. Javier suggests Hawkins avoided explicit talk of Satan because most people cannot face metaphysical truth without defensiveness.Elites rely on symbolic power, secrecy, and coercion. References to Epstein Island, Masonic symbolism, and intelligence-agency entrapment support Javier's view that modern control systems operate through sexual blackmail, ritual imagery, and hidden hierarchies rather than democratic mechanisms.Technology's promise is strangled by state power. While Stewart sees potential in AI, crypto, and network-state ideas, Javier insists innovation is meaningless without freedom of currency, association, and exchange. Technology is neutral, he argues, but becomes a tool of surveillance and control when monopolized by governments.

Networking calls/coffee chats are tricky. You should not be following the advice found for general recruitment. We insist our clients network with partners so most of the advice we provide is for networking with McKinsey and BCG partners. The reality is that partners are best equipped, and most influential, to assess a unique profile and make a judgement call on the spot. The danger is that if you do not impress the partner, you are very unlikely to go anywhere with further networking. The more atypical your profile, though, the greater the need to network with a partner, and the benefits far outweigh the risks.   Here are some free gifts for you: Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

It was a full slate of NFL action today, and we're breaking down everything you need to know from a wild Sunday across the league. We start with the Rams outlasting the Lions in a shootout, as Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua powered a massive second-half comeback. We hit the NFC South chaos as the Falcons stunned the Buccaneers with a last-second field goal, keeping Tampa Bay's playoff hopes shaky.From there, we dive into two absolute defensive statements — the Eagles and Ravens both pitching shutouts, dominating the Raiders and Bengals respectively. We also cover Houston continuing its surge behind C.J. Stroud in a convincing win over the Cardinals, while the Bears steamrolled the Browns in a complete team performance.In the NFC East, the Commanders handled the Giants thanks to big special teams plays, while Jacksonville embarrassed the Jets as Trevor Lawrence delivered one of the best performances of his career. We close things out with the 49ers staying hot against the Titans, showcasing why San Francisco remains one of the most dangerous teams heading toward the postseason.Playoff races tightened, contenders separated themselves, and a few teams made loud statements — we're reacting to all of it from top to bottom.Tap into Episode 662 of the Productive Conversations Podcast—available now on all podcast platforms and YouTube.Bills vs Patriots (4:10)Colts vs Seahawks (6:03)Chargers vs Chiefs (7:48)Broncos vs Packers (9:59)Rams vs Lions (11:46)Falcons vs Buccaneers (13:12)Eagles vs Raiders (15:12)Ravens vs Bengals (16:13)Texans Vs Cardinals (18:28)Bears vs Browns (19:08)Giants vs Commanders (20:54)Jets vs Jaguars (22:22)49ers vs Titans (24:12)Cowboys vs Vikings (25:28)MNF Pick (26:52)Look to Next Week (29:00)--------#nfl #football #nflfootball #nflnews #trending #sports #culture --------Best way to contact our host is by emailing him at productiveconversationspodcast@gmail.com or mbrown3212@gmail.comThis show has been brought to you by Magic Mind!Right now you can get your Magic Mind at WWW.MAGICMIND.COM/ PCLT20 to get 20% off a one-time purchase or up to 48% off a subscription using that code PCJUNE. Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/productive-conversations-with-matt-brown/id1535871441 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7qCsxuzYYoeqALrWu4x4Kb YouTube: @Productive_Conversations  Linktree:https://linktr.ee/productiveconversations

Send us a messageA long weekend can feel like three lives in one: a road trip for a high school tournament, another haul to a gender reveal, and finally that first cold beer in weeks. From there we open the floodgates—talking wind gusts hitting triple digits, jackknifed semis, and the simple wisdom of staying off the highway when the weather wants to win. Then we hit a nerve: the $160 sherpa‑lined jacket that used to be half that price, why malls feel empty, and how holiday gifting collides with rent, car payments, and the urge to buy now instead of waiting for a deal.Pop culture gets spicy fast. We call out the rush to judge the new Supergirl movie based on a 40‑second trailer, dig into Woman of Tomorrow roots, and push back on the lazy “it's just Guardians in a cape” line. Canon heads will love the crypto vs Streaky debate, while rumor fans get fresh talk on Lobo with Jason Momoa, a multiverse twist with Robert Downey Jr. as Doom, and Spider‑Man resets that risk repeating old villains. Our take: let the full story land before you torch it, and ask for bolder antagonists if you want fresher stakes.We also zoom out on media trust. A Diddy documentary raises questions about footage rights, timelines, and how receipts get weaponized. A viral Trump photo shows how a pageant snapshot can be reframed and spread before context catches up. To balance the heat, we spotlight a jaw‑dropping mentalism clip—not as proof of magic, but as a masterclass in attention and suggestion. Through every thread—shopping, storms, streaming, scandals—the message holds: pause first, verify, and choose with care.Tap play for real talk, sharp laughs, and a few fun facts you'll want to steal.

One Life | One Story is a podcast about real people's lives.

This is the recording of my short presentation and the Q&A at the second Conversations With Modern Stoicism event, hosted in June 2025 by Phil Yanov. Asked to give a short and provocative presentation about an issue that arises in the everyday applications of Stoicism, we decided on the topic of grief and grieving I first discuss what we can call a "standard Stoic take" on grief, which they understand as belonging to the broader emotional category of pain or distress, and therefore being something bad for us. We then look briefly at some of the treatments of grief and grieving in Epictetus and Seneca.

What begins as a conversation about preservation and history quickly turns into a deep dive into unexplained encounters, lingering spirits, and the emotional weight carried by a building that once held pain, punishment, and forgotten stories. The Gilchrist County Jail, built in the early 1900s, has stood for generations as a symbol of justice, confinement, and human suffering. Patrick shares the rich history of the jail—who was housed there, how prisoners lived, and how the building transitioned from an active jail to a historical site. But as many paranormal investigators know, places with intense emotional energy rarely fall silent when their official purpose ends. During the interview, Patrick recounts firsthand paranormal experiences reported by staff, visitors, and investigators alike. From unexplained footsteps echoing down empty cell blocks to voices heard when no one else is present, the activity inside the jail appears intelligent, persistent, and deeply tied to its past. Objects moving, cold spots, and shadow figures are all part of the jail's unsettling reputation. Joe and Jen also explore the emotional side of investigating historic locations like this one. Patrick speaks openly about the responsibility that comes with preserving not only the building, but the stories of the people who lived and died there. The conversation touches on respect for the dead, ethical investigation practices, and why some spirits may choose to remain behind.   As the discussion unfolds, the team examines whether the jail's activity could be residual energy replaying traumatic moments—or something far more aware. Patrick offers insight into moments that made him question what he thought he knew about the paranormal, including experiences that occurred in broad daylight and in the presence of multiple witnesses. This episode is a must-listen for fans of haunted jails, historical hauntings, and real-world paranormal investigations. Whether you're a skeptic, believer, or somewhere in between, the stories coming out of the Historical Gilchrist County Jail will leave you questioning what truly remains when the doors finally close. Listen now and step inside a place where history never stopped speaking. Welcome to the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your gateway to the captivating world of the supernatural.

This episode presents an intimate, candid conversation between the podcast hosts Brandon Cardardoso and DJ Julian Barbosza. It is characterized by honesty, vulnerability, and mutual respect as they discuss their personal lives, podcast dynamics, past experiences, and future plans. The dialogue also includes fan questions and reflections on their professional partnership.

In this heartfelt conversation, Shelby and Belinda share their reactions to the 2024 Women in the Workplace report by McKinsey & LeanIn.org.  They highlight the deep fatigue and burnout women experience as they rise into senior leadership.They reflect on the emotional and logistical realities that the data doesn't always capture: – women reaching the top of the ladder only to find exhaustion waiting for them – the cultural pressure in the U.S. to “do it all” without asking for help – the double standard where men receive quiet support systems while women feel judged for needing them – the loneliness of leadership, especially for women of color – the guilt that comes with caregiving and boundary-setting – the absence of sponsorship and empathetic leadership in many workplacesGrounded in personal stories—from missing their children's milestones to carving out time for family despite career demands—they illustrate how women are not less ambitious; they're simply navigating systems designed without them in mind.The episode ends with a call for leaders everywhere to build cultures rooted in trust, compassion, humane expectations, and real support—because meaningful leadership is not about suffering in silence; it's about helping others rise with you.Send us a comment!Recommit is a Feb 28 half-day retreat for people who are ready for more clarity, courage, and alignment.

Conversations on Groong - December 14, 2025In this episode of Conversations on Groong, we examine how Venezuela's vast oil reserves have become entangled in global conflict. The discussion links US pressure on Caracas to efforts to drive down oil prices, weaken Russia's war effort in Ukraine, and limit Iran's regional power amid rising fears of a wider war. We also explore how a revived Venezuelan oil sector could disrupt OPEC+, reshape Middle East politics, and alter the balance of power across today's conflict zones.Topics:Venezuela's oil and US pressureTrump, oil prices, and OPEC+Middle East fallout from cheap oilUkraine war and Iran conflict stakesGuest: Harry IstepanianHosts:Hovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 495 | Recorded: December 11, 2025SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/495VIDEO: https://youtu.be/g0bH2EFA3GU#Venezuela #OilPolitics #Geopolitics #USForeignPolicy #EnergyWarsSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

In one of our most popular episodes ever from Season 1, I had an incredibly grounding conversation with my guest, Marla Rose, the founder of VeganStreet.com.We tackled the questions and fears that held me back for so long, and that I know stop so many of you: Is going vegan too expensive? How do I deal with my family's skepticism without causing a scene?With over 30 years of lived experience, Marla offered the kind of compassionate, no-nonsense advice I wish I'd had when I started. We talked about why courage is more important than perfection, how to build meals around cheap, staple foods, and her brilliant "broken record" technique for handling tough social situations with grace.She also shared the amazing free resource she created: her "Guide for New Vegans," which is the ultimate starter toolkit to cut through the overwhelm.This episode is a dose of reassurance and practical strategy for anyone who's curious, struggling, or just needs a friendly reminder that this journey is about progress, not perfection.I still go back to this conversation when I need a boost, and I think you'll find it just as valuable.Mentioned in this episode:VeganStreet.com's Free Guide for New Vegans: https://www.veganstreet.com/guidefornewvegans.htmlSend us a textSupport the show Ready to Take Your Plant-Based Journey to the Next Level?
