Blake Scholl is one of the leading figures working to bring back civilian supersonic flight. As the founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic, he's building a new generation of supersonic aircraft and pushing for the policies needed to make commercial supersonic travel viable again. But he's equally as impressive as someone who thinks systematically about improving dysfunction—whether it's airport design, traffic congestion, or defense procurement—and sees creative solutions to problems everyone else has learned to accept. Tyler and Blake discuss why airport terminals should be underground, why every road needs a toll, what's wrong with how we board planes, the contrasting cultures of Amazon and Groupon, why Concorde and Apollo were impressive tech demos but terrible products, what Ayn Rand understood about supersonic transport in 1957, what's wrong with aerospace manufacturing, his heuristic when confronting evident stupidity, his technique for mastering new domains, how LLMs are revolutionizing regulatory paperwork, and much more.

Peter Hall and Paul Gandersman, the writer/directors behind the upcoming genre flick MAN FINDS TAPE, join your intrepid Kingcast hosts to discuss one of Stephen King's underappreciated and as yet unadapted books: Joyland.

We even fancast our adaptation and do a damn good job at it, if we don't say so ourselves.

In this episode, we talk honestly about something so many of us feel but almost never say out loud: loneliness. It's crazy how life can look so full from the outside… so many people, so much activity… and yet on the inside, we feel completely empty. We've gotten really good at giving the illusion that everything's great, even when it's not. But that gap between what we show and what's actually real? It's exhausting! And it's taking a toll on so many of us. Loneliness can affect us mentally, spiritually, and even physically. But hear this: God never intended for you to walk through life by yourself. From the very beginning, He hardwired us for close friendships. Deep, honest, life-giving friendships. In this conversation, we talk about how to move past the surface, how to admit when we're lonely, and how to start pursuing the kind of real connection our souls are craving. 21 MUST FOLLOWS: Pastors Noah Herrin - @noahherrin Megan Fate Marshman - @meganfate Jonathon Pokluda - @jpokluda World Events Carlos Whittaker - @loswhit Sharon McMahon - @sharonsaysso Rich Villodas - @richvillodas Sharon Hodde Miller - @sharonhmiller Therapy/Knowing Yourself Jason VanRuler - @jason.vanruler Mike Foster - @mikefoster2000 Carl Lentz - @carllentz Goals and Outlook Carey Nieuwhof - @careynieuwhof Jon Acuff - @jonacuff Jon Gordon - @jongordon11 Ethan Bernard - @ethanbenard Nonprofits I love God behind bars - @godbehindbars IJM - @ijm Convoy of Hope - @convoyofhope Joy Jimmy Darts - @jimmydarts Cam Bynum - @cambeezy_24 Gabe Dannenbring - @gabedannenbring Style/Fashion Joe Burrow - @joeyb_9 Thanks to our amazing partners on this episode: International Justice Mission is a global nonprofit working to end slavery and violence around the world, taking special care of survivors from the moment they're rescued all the way through their healing and restoration.

In this episode, Dr. Tom Cowan speaks with longtime friend Christopher Gardner, who shares his journey of discovering and working with biochar, a potent soil amendment derived from biomass through pyrolysis (low-oxygen burning). Originally inspired by Amazonian agricultural techniques (terra preta), Christopher began experimenting with biochar while living in Central America, where the soil was poor and depleted.Through firsthand trial and error, he found that adding biochar to his farm dramatically improved plant health, eliminated pest problems like leafcutter ants, and boosted yields of cacao, coffee, bamboo, and tropical fruits. He describes how biochar:-Enhances soil structure and water retention-Creates structured, energetically coherent water-Offers resistance to EMFs through its diamagnetic properties-Acts like a “womb” for seedlings, encouraging strong, healthy growthHe also explains the science and method behind making biochar, comparing it to ancient Amazonian kiln practices, and how he's now producing high-quality biochar in the Ozarks using Amish and Mennonite mill byproducts. His new company, BlackGold Biochar, provides this regenerative product for gardeners and farmers.Check out Christopher's Black Gold Biochar here: https://www.blackgoldbiochar.com/discount/TOMCOWAN?redirect=%2Fproducts%2Fblackgold-biocharSupport the showWebsites:https://drtomcowan.com/https://www.drcowansgarden.com/https://newbiologyclinic.com/https://newbiologycurriculum.com/Instagram: @TalkinTurkeywithTomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowan/Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/CivTSuEjw6Qp/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNg

We're stoked to hear about his incredible journey and long-standing tenure at the core heritage brand, Xcel Wetsuits.Please welcome to the show, Mr. Lance “LV” Varon!
This week I sit down to chat with Michelle Mikel, and she breaks down a no-fluff approach to social that actually drives revenue. Instead of chasing algorithms or blasting cold pitches, she teaches a leverage-first outbound framework: one high-intent message a day that bridges warm relationships to new opportunities. We dig into her 90-day projection system (podcasts, webinars, stages), why most teams drown in “white noise,” and how to track the few activities that truly move the P&L. Michelle also shares the personal season that reshaped her planning, momentum, and discipline.What you'll learn:- Leverage - cold pitch: Use mutual relationships to remove resistance and get replies.- The 1-DM rule: Send one intentional outbound message per day; quality crushes volume.- Kill indifference: Silence isn't a “no”—it's a signal your message lacked emotion or relevance.- 3 growth drivers: Fill the buckets that create compounding inbound—speaking, podcasts, webinars.- 90-day projections: See opportunities before they show up on the P&L (and start months in the green).- Discipline as a verb: Momentum creates motivation—track it, don't trust vibes.- Back to basics: Conversations, not campaigns. Data, not guesses.If this episode helped, share it with a friend who's stuck “posting more” and getting less. And if you're feeling generous, rate & review the show—it helps a ton.

“I have a friend who's a library film composer and produces podcasts, and I was talking to him, I was giving him the kind of same thesis I talked about today. And he's like, ‘yeah, I get it. But like, I'm the one who's going to lose the job.' Cause what he, this very specific, specified job he has [is] of composing kind of anonymous music for podcasts. And he's successful, he wrote the theme of Serial, and he's done a lot of big podcasts in New York Times and NPR and, uh, and he's like, that's probably the functional music which employed a lot of composers is probably not going to be needed as much.” – Drew Thurlow This episode is the second half of my conversation with founder of Opening Ceremony Media and author of Machine Music: How AI is Transforming Music's Next Act Drew Thurlow as we discuss the surprising musical trend Drew foresees as AI becomes more commonplace, the one lesson he always shares with music students when it comes to the future of AI, and the ripple effects that generated audio content and voice clones have already started to have across the music industry.

(0:00:00) - Future of AI in Creative AestheticsWe pick up the conversation as Drew offers his prediction of how AI music, over time, might become as retro and nostalgic as lofi music today. “I have this theory that with all these AI hallucinations that are happening,” he explains, “that's going to become its own creative aesthetic, and you're going to start to see the AI vocal models, you know, the early AI vocal models [return].” He shares his observations as a guest lecturer and why he's optimistic about the next generation's relationship with AI, and the lesson he always shares with students. “I'd encourage students to have curiosity be your superpower,” he says. “And community is also really, really important. It was really important for me when I was starting out twenty, twenty-five years ago. It's even more important now, with so much more noise out there and so many more distractions and so much more music and people doing it.”(0:04:43) - Trends in Music Tech StartupsDrew talks about how the industry is evolving as digital media becomes the norm, and the opportunities for AI to increase revenue. “Streaming growth is slowing down,” he tells us. “You know, we're running out of subscribers in the West and North America, western Europe and North America, and so labels and rights holders and artists are kind of in the mood to count their pennies.” He notes some of the less obvious ways that AI is increasing revenue, such as black box royalty collections and anti-piracy safeguards, and the versatile uses of generated audio content. “Adaptive audio companies [are] using machine learning and generative AI for health,” he says, “also in the gaming environments, which is a big business, where personalized music can adapt to you and your environment. It kind of reads your environment. So those are...

Systems are one of those things we can be reluctant to change. Most churches outgrow their systems without even realizing it. What worked then suddenly doesn't work now. And churches get stuck using old systems that are beyond their usefulness, all while hoping for different results. When you're in seasons of growth, you have to get more intentional about scaling up the systems that have started to break down due to growth to make your ministry sustainable. In this episode, Amy and Sean discuss why systems function poorly for so long, what to do when you recognize key systems are broken and how to redesign systems during growth.

Dr James Loxton on how modern democracies can crumble as tyrannical leaders take hold, but also how freedom and democracy can rise again, from the Americas to Europe and into Asia.James grew up in stable Canada, where he spent his summers herding sheep in the middle of forest plantations.As a teenager, he hatched a plan to escape his "rough as guts" bush town and the life of a shepherd, moving to India on his own to finish high school.At an international school in Maharashtra, James' classmates taught him about the world outside of democratic Canada, and he became fascinated by military dictatorships and guerilla insurgencies. Later on, years of living in Latin America showed him firsthand how dictators operated, how they are feared and hated, but also revered and loved by some of the people they control.Now James, and many other political scientists, have their eyes turned to America, watching closely to see how the world's most powerful democracy is changing right before our eyes.Authoritarianism: A Very Short Introduction is published by Oxford University Press.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris, executive producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores Donald Trump, Putin, USA, regime, dictators, ICE, Clinton, Epstein, politics, democracy, Chilean presidential election, Russia, China, Taiwan, Philippines, government, globalisation, Latin American politics, Whitlam, dismissal, divisive politics, left versus right, parliamentary versus presidential forms of government, united kingdom, British colonies, Javier Milei, Venezuela, Argentina, Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, Hugo Chavez, Maduro, elitism, drain the swamp, populism, power for the people, tariffs, Peru, Cuba, straw man, Stalin, Hitler, competitive authoritarianism, substance abuse, addiction, alcoholism, alcoholic mothers, homelessness, losing a mother.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.

For something that we do every single day, and something that has the power to change every aspect of our life, we sure don't focus on, train, or develop it. And, that thing is conversation. Nothing great ever happened in your life without, first, a conversation – no promotions, no jobs, no clients, no dates, nothing.

This week on Lone Lobos, we welcome award-winning filmmaker, writer, and actor Pasqual Gutierrez III. Pasqual is best known for directing music videos for artists such as Bad Bunny, Rosalía, J Balvin, and The Weeknd. He joins us to promote his first feature film, Serious People, which premiered at Sundance. A successful music video director and expectant father pushes hiswork/life balance to the extreme when he can't pass up the job of a lifetime and hires a doppelgänger to work in his stead. Serious People is a fresh and authentic comedy that explores what it means to be a"director" and a parent—and the replaceability of people in clout-heavy Los Angeles. Pasqual talks with Xolo Maridueña and Jacob Bertrand about moving from directing music videos to a full-length feature, the early stages of fatherhood, filming in the Los Angeles area, and his co-stars. Lobitos can enjoy a longer conversation with Pasqual, available only on Supercast. Serious People is available on VOD and in select theaters now.

Recorded live at the event, this conversation featuring four Volume 6 contributors, delves into each of their stories and the themes of requiem, invitation, and celebration at the heart of their seasonal experiences.

In this episode, I'm having a real conversation about something every podcaster eventually thinks about: how (and when) to make money from your show. I'm sharing why having a simple plan in place, whether you're just getting started or already well into your podcasting journey, can completely change the way you show up for your episodes and your audience. That doesn't mean I think you need to start pressuring yourself to monetize immediately, either. Instead, I want to help you get clear about knowing your direction so the work you're doing actually supports your bigger goals.I also talk about what this has looked like in my own business after producing hundreds of episodes (over 320+ at this point). Having clarity early on shaped so many decisions for me… from the structure of my episodes to how I think about promotion and long-term growth. I'm pulling back the curtain a bit on the mindset and strategy that helped my show become a real asset instead of something that drained my time and energy.If you've ever felt unsure about the “money side” of podcasting or wondered how to connect what you're creating to something deeper in your business, this episode will help you make a 15-minute money plan that actually works!).

Life can feel overwhelming sometimes, can’t it? In a world that constantly tells us to hustle, push harder, and fit the mold, it’s easy to forget that struggling isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a normal part of life. That’s why I’m excited to share my latest conversation on The Love Offering Podcast with author Jennifer Renee Watson, who just released her book: What If You're Doing Better Than You Think?: Finding Courage and Confidence When Life Gets Messy. Jennifer offers a compassionate and practical perspective, showing us that our struggles can actually be invitations to care for ourselves and live more intentionally. She encourages us to return to who God designed us to be and rebuild a life worth living—one that works for us, not against us. In our conversation, Jennifer will help you discover: Why slowing down is actually a sign of strength How to find peace and balance instead of succumbing to hyperproductivity Practical ways to support your mental health Signs your body is responding to stress A game plan for navigating life’s messy seasons When to reach out for support from loved ones, doctors, or counselors How to pace yourself for the long haul while tapping into God’s true purpose for you If you’ve ever felt the pressure to do more than you can, this episode is for you. Tune in and let Jennifer’s insight help you breathe, reset, and find courage and confidence in the midst of life’s messiness. With love, Rachael Lead with Love - Rachael K.

She joins Billie to talk about burnout, resilience, emotional regulation, and how lawyers and clients can rebuild themselves during high-stress seasons. Whitney shares how her early experiences with adversity, plus years in insurance defense and plaintiff litigation, shaped her mission to blend law, well-being, and science-backed healing tools. Her work today focuses on giving people simple, practical methods to manage stress, reframe their stories, and rebuild confidence during major transitions like divorce.In this conversation, Whitney breaks down the real challenges facing modern legal professionals: remote work fatigue, isolation, burnout, loss of identity, and the emotional weight of client trauma. She explains why resilience is a skill, not a personality trait, and how tools like HypnoBreathwork® help people retrain long-held patterns in the subconscious mind. Whether you're a lawyer, a parent going through divorce, or someone feeling stuck, Whitney offers a grounded understanding of healing, purpose, and intentional recovery.Topics Discussed- The emotional toll of litigation and why traditional legal training overlooks it- Burnout signs lawyers and divorcing clients should never ignore- How to rebuild identity after major life transitions- HypnoBreathwork® and why it accelerates healing compared to talk therapy- Why remote work helps flexibility but harms engagement- Emotional boundaries and the psychology of conflict- Building resilience through narrative reframing and somatic tools- How energy, environment, and relationships shape well-beingWhere to Find Whitney HarveyWebsite: https://theselfcoachedlawyer.comEmail: whitney@theselfcoachedlawyer.comInstagram: @theselfcoachedlawyerLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitneyharvey
