My guest today is John Arnold. John is probably the most famous energy trader of all time and certainly the most successful. One of the things John talks about is cultivating the best seat in your industry – the seat with the best perspective, the most information, the best systems..  John has been closely watching China's convergence in robotics, AI, and EVs, and shares his perspective from his recent trip to the country. We talk about the state of energy markets today – the misaligned goals and incentives, the NIMBYism that prevents building in America, and what he actually thinks about the wave of nuclear energy startups that everyone seems excited about.  John is also one of the most innovative philanthropists working today, applying that same analytical rigor to diagnosing structural failures across America — in healthcare, criminal justice, education, and beyond For the full show notes, transcript, and links to mentioned content, check out the episode page ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.  ----- Become a Colossus member to get our quarterly print magazine and private audio experience, including exclusive profiles and early access to select episodes.

This week I talked to attorney and writer Savala Nolan. Her newest book, Good Woman, which was named a Most Anticipated Feminist Book of 2026 by Ms. Magazine, is out now. I got to read an early copy and loved it. She writes with raw honesty about making herself smaller, both literally and metaphorically, in order to be a good daughter, a good wife, a good mother, and all the ways she allowed herself to be diminished to keep the peace, and how many others do this too. The 12 essays blend cultural commentary, personal experience, reportage, and history. We talked about the vulnerable process of writing a personal book of essays, including writing about divorce, motherhood, and the importance of respecting one's appetite in every way, from creative to physical. I always love talking to Savala and loved getting to catch up with her here. Let us know if you listen.

Today we have Tom. He is 40 years old from New Canaan, CT and took his last drink on July 12th, 2024.   This episode is brought to you by:   Sign up and get 10% off: Better Help Soberlink – sign up and claim your $100 enrollment bonus   Happy March! The Café RE theme this month is Mindfulness and Awareness. This key topic helps us build awareness and space, which ultimately gives us the freedom to make different choices beyond drinking. Café RE will feature chats focused on mindfulness. It has been said that the most powerful medicine can't match the power of awareness.   Recovery Elevator is compiling a list of recovery stories and we're going to put them in a book called This is How We Quit. If you want to be part of this book, and submit your story, we'd love to have you. There is no sobriety time requirement so if your saying to yourself, well, I've only been sober 30 days, I can't submit my story, then nonsense. Send an email to info@recoveryelevator.com and you'll get a google form to fill out and submit your story.   [03:56] Thoughts from Paul:   Paul shares with us a quote from author Brianna Wiest.   "Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It's going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It's going to cost you relationships and friends. It's going to cost you being liked and understood. It doesn't matter. The people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side. You're going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward. Instead of being liked, you're going to be loved. Instead of being understood, you're going to be seen. All you're going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are." [06:25] Paul introduces Tom:   Tom is 40 years old and lives in New Canaan, CT. He is a construction superintendent, is married and they have 5-year-old twins. For fun, Tom enjoys gold, skiing and spending time with his kids.   Tom first drank at age 14 and says he frequently blacked out when he drank going forward. There were multiple legal consequences throughout his late teens and early twenties as his binge drinking continued through college. Around age 21, Tom began using cocaine which enabled him to drink more with less blackouts.   After college, Tom and his friends mainly drank on the weekend. Fast forward a few years and he found himself drinking alone during the week while his friends did not. As time progressed, he would wake up daily and trash talk himself for not being able to stop at just one or two. He felt like Jekyll and Hyde and struggled with that throughout his 30's.   In 2020, Tom's twins were born. He struggled to juggle his drinking life and his family life. His wife was growing frustrated, and Tom wasn't the parent that he had hoped he would be. In spite of this, he never really thought about quitting drinking, but quickly realized moderation didn't work. He knew he would need to quit drinking for himself and not just for his family. His wife was growing frustrated, and Tom knew he would lose everything if he didn't quit.   On June 12th, 2024, Tom was going to start a new job and looked at it as a clean slate. He says quitting was awkward and he began to talk to an alcohol counselor that helped him a lot. Within the first few months Tom felt better physically and able to establish a workout routine which helped him start the day in a better headspace. He started listening to the RE podcast and relating to others' stories. Exercise has become a hobby for Tom. Woodworking is a hobby that has come back for Tom as well, he takes pride in the projects he completes now.   Tom's parting piece of guidance: If you can make it through the first couple of days, and start to see the benefit, it'll get better every day. There'll be bad moments and challenging moments, but don't give up.     Recovery Elevator Remember this is an inside job. It all starts from the inside out. I love you guys.     RE Instagram Sobriety Tracker iTunes  RE YouTube      

Horrific First-World COST of Third-World Migration INVASION! Andrew Branca. I often talk with all of you about the cultural cost of allowing the low-IQ, low-trust, mostly non-white, mostly non-Christian third-world to invade our high-IQ, high-trust, mostly white, mostly Christian first world societies—but we're increasingly seeing the quantification of those costs, as well. In today's show we'll break down a variety of those quantitative costs as yet another argument for why India should be for Indians, sub-Sahara Africa should be for Africans, Europe should be for Europeans, and—most important!—America should be for Americans.

You feel busy all day. You are posting, responding, planning, creating. Yet your business still feels slow and stagnant. You are doing everything and showing up everywhere, so why does it feel like nothing is truly moving? In this episode, I break down the real cost of constant distraction. It is not just stealing your time. It is draining your focus, your clarity, your consistency, and even your ability to hear God clearly. Distraction creeps in quietly through opportunities, notifications, responsibilities, and good ideas that pull you in every direction. Over time, this slows your growth. If you feel stretched between family, life, and business, this conversation will help you reset. You will learn how to return to a simple, grounded, and centered way of building. A way that is aligned and intentional. So you can move forward with focus rather than chaotic energy.

This conversation started not because I think social media or the internet is the enemy— that would be a little crazy considering you are reading this on an app and you most likely heard about it through social media. I am SO GRATEFUL for the gift of the online space, the community it provides, the resources it has illuminated, and the ability to connect with others in the most unique ways.However, I started to notice that I was literally scrolling at night and I could not even tell you what I saw. I was numbing out and I knew it, and yet I kept doing it.I noticed how tired my mind felt even when my body was still. How easily my attention scattered. How quickly I moved from one thing to the next without really being in any of it. Nothing dramatic. Just subtle. Quiet.

What if being “good” was never meant to protect us?In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by the incredible Savala Nolan (back for the second time) to talk about her new book Good Woman: A Reckoning, which is a lyrical, unflinching exploration of the expectations placed on women's bodies, voices, marriages, appetites, and lives.We explore what happens when the bargain of goodness stops “working” and what becomes possible when we refuse it.Tune in for more on:* The myth that being “good” (thin, quiet, agreeable) will keep women safe* Midlife as rupture: dieting, divorce, and the unraveling of social conditioning* Body liberation as a daily practice — especially in the age of GLP-1s* What it means to become “illegible” to misogynistic culture* Raising daughters who are fluent in their bodies, not afraid of themThis is a conversation about wilderness, refusal, and the kind of freedom that feels both exciting and terrifying because of its importance and truth.Find Savala on IG: https://www.instagram.com/savalanolan/Order "Good Woman" here: https://savalanolan.com/Savala's Substack: https://savala.substack.com/Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?

[00:30] Operation Epic Fury (56 minutes) The U.S. and Israel eliminated Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and most of its civil and military leadership in targeted air strikes over the weekend. President Donald Trump and his administration believe Operation Epic Fury has erased the threat of radical nuclear-armed Iran. Bible prophecy tells a different story.

Starting Lineup: BYU struggling with effort and defense Youth sports problems What You May Have Missed

In this episode, I explain why paid launches are working so well right now — and why they might be the smartest move you make for your next launch. I break down the difference between traditional free webinars or challenges and paid launch experiences, and I share exactly how my two-week, five-session paid bootcamp model works, including standard and VIP tiers. I also talk honestly about why free launches have become harder — from audience overwhelm and low show-up rates to freebie collectors and creator burnout — and then walk you through four powerful reasons to test a paid launch instead. While you may see fewer sign-ups, the quality, engagement, and conversions can be significantly stronger. 3 Key Takeaways: Paid = Higher Commitment When someone invests money, they're far more likely to show up, engage, and implement — which leads to better results and stronger trust. Engagement and Conversions Improve Paid participants are more serious and qualified, meaning higher show-up rates, better interaction, and stronger conversion rates into your main offer. Your Launch Can Fund Your Marketing A paid launch can generate revenue upfront, giving you cash flow to fund ads and scale — rather than relying on a free event that only costs you time and money. If free launches have been feeling heavier, harder, or less effective, this episode will help you see why — and show you a practical alternative that could change the game for your next launch.

In this video, I'm gonna be sharing with you what paid launches are, why they work so well, and the four reasons that you should consider trying a paid launch for your next launch. If we haven't met, my name is Teresa Heath-Wareing and I work with course creators, membership owners and coaches to help them grow their online business. And I have recently been given the award of Business Coach of the Year from the National Coaching Conference and Awards, which I am obviously over the moon about. And every single week I put out a new video and podcast. What I share with you. Tactical and strategic things that you can actually do in your business that is going to help you grow your online business without all of the overwhelm and with what is working right now. So if you haven't [00:01:00] subscribed to the YouTube channel, I urge you to hit that subscribe button and to make sure that you get notified every time I put a new video out, and I would be so honored if you could share this video with someone who was in the online space that you think could benefit from it. Okay, let's talk about free versus paid. So what do I mean by free versus paid? Now, most launch experiences have been free, so you would do a free webinar, a free challenge, a free bootcamp. So basically for them to come into the launch experience, and I call launch experiences, just the mechanism that you're using, like I said, a webinar, a masterclass, which they tend to be the same thing, a bootcamp, a challenge, a. Open house. Those are what I call launch experiences. And when I talk about launching, I don't necessarily mean for the first time. This is just basically a focused period of marketing where you are selling your online thing, like your course, your program, your membership, whatever it might be. So [00:02:00] in most cases. Up until fairly recently, most launches were free. So you would advertise that you were doing a free webinar, a free challenge, and people would sign up and come and join that challenge or come and join that masterclass for free. And then at the end of the thing, you would then present your offer, which would be your paid program, course, membership, whatever it was. Kind of marketing activity that you were doing to get them there in the first place was free. Now, let me explain to you what I mean by a paid launch experience. So ordinarily and what I've been involved with and what I teach is more about a paid bootcamp or a paid challenge, something that is a bit longer. I would say that you can do paid workshops rather than. Masterclass or webinars, masterclass and webinars tend to be about an hour or to an hour and a half. They're very much focused on the what and [00:03:00] the why and less so on the how. And your program tends to be the how, whereas when you are doing something paid, it normally means it's going into more depth. So let me explain to you my paid launching the I am using currently. I'm doing a bootcamp where basically the bootcamp is over two weeks, but it's five actual sessions, so it's two sessions on week one and three sessions on week two, and for that bootcamp, it is a paid thing. Now the. Cost of the, the bootcamp is low, so my cost of my bootcamp at the point I'm recording this is 49 pounds. But there is also a VIP level where if you join the VIP level, you get additional things. So for instance, rather than just the five sessions, you will also get some q and As with me where. I basically get to coach you. There are also things like you might get some other bonuses and some other nice bits that you would get if you sign up for the VIP. So basically there are two levels to my paid launches, the standard level, and [00:04:00] then the VIP level. But they're both paid. The standard level is 49 pounds. The VIP level I think is 97, like I said at the point of recording this. But the point is to come into that launch experience, which is a bootcamp you have to pay now. You might think, well, this doesn't make sense because I want them to buy the bigger thing, and if they're buying the lower thing, will they buy the bigger thing? We're going to address the reasons why you might want to consider a paid launch, but let me talk about why free are getting a little bit more difficult. Well, the first thing is the overwhelm is massive. There are so many. Free things that we can now do online businesses and launching has become way more popular than it ever has done and will continue to grow. And because of that, there'll be lots of free events, lots of free challenges, lots of free boot camps, which means there is often low commitment from the person that is engaging or signing up to them and the poor sharp rates. So when I started this back in. Or when I started in the online [00:05:00] space about 10 years ago, the show up rate for a webinar would be anywhere between 40 and 50%. Then when we hit COVID, it went up. It was actually like you could get 60%, which is great, and now we are seeing some as low as 15 and 20% show up rate, which means the number of people who signed up to come to say, your webinar only. 15 to 20% of them might actually turn up. And one of the key things is you want them to turn up because if they turn up, they're way more engaged. They're more likely to consider buying your thing that you're selling. At the end, you are also potentially attracting freebie collectors. So there are people that just like to sign up to free stuff and will busy themselves with going to all the webinars in the world. Therefore, you might attract some of them when you are doing a free thing. Often when we are doing free launch experiences, we tend to give information without implementation. And if you've watched any of my other videos, if [00:06:00] you've listened to the podcast, then you will know. One of the big things for 2026 is we need that implementation. That actually what we don't need is more content or more information. At this point, we need to actually get it done and we need ways to help us get it done. And sometimes when we're doing. Three things, rightly so, we are just giving them the information because there has to be a balance of like how much we give away when we are giving it for free. And this can lead to creators, to online business owners, to you to meet, burning out basically. Launching is not a very quick and easy thing to do. It takes work and time and effort. And sometimes you might find yourself feeling very resentful when you are putting in all this time and effort. You are delivering really good stuff and people just aren't engaging and they're not taking it seriously. So there are lots of reasons why free launches are not as successful and not as good maybe as

In this episode of The Science of Flipping, I sat down with Jason from MotivatedSellers.com, one of the top lead generation companies in the game. We got real about what it actually takes to convert a motivated seller lead—spoiler alert: it's way more than a couple calls and a text.

"I know who they are... but I'm staying."Not everyone is ready to leave. Whether it's for the kids, financial stability, or a hope that things will change, many people choose to remain in a relationship with a narcissist. As a self-aware narcissist, I want to have a real, judgment-free conversation about what that actually looks like.If you choose to stay, you have to know the price you are going to pay. Today, we are talking about the "Trade-Offs"—the isolation, the loss of self, and the reality of radical acceptance. This isn't about shaming you for staying; it's about preparing you for the life you are choosing.IN THIS LIVE, WE DISCUSS:Radical Acceptance: How to stop waiting for the "Old Version" of them to come back.The Isolation Factor: Why your world gets smaller the longer you stay.The Death of Expectation: How to survive when you know your emotional needs will never be met.Building a "Life Within a Life": How to find pockets of peace while living in the storm.If you've decided to stay, you need to know how to protect your spirit while you're there.Connect with Lee:My Courses: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://courses.mentalhealness.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 1-on-1 Coaching Calls: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠All My Link: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://beacons.page/mentalhealness ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesssIf this episode helped you gain clarity, please leave a 5-star review on Spotify!

From mass deportations to the dismantling of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, many Americans are fed up with the actions of the president. And yet as consumers and investors, we are stuffing the pockets of the very companies that are supporting these controversial initiatives. This week, we  shine a light on the movement to #ResistAndUnsubscribe, and highlight Corporate America's involvement in the Deportation Industrial Complex.

America has entered into a just war with Iran, something that should've been done over 40 years ago. This is one many consequences of passing the buck to someone else. There is a cost when we don't do what God requires of us, whether it's Iran, abortion, LGBTQ, or Islam. We need to learn how Ancient Israel paid a very dear price when Joshua didn't complete the conquest God commanded, and how that affects us today.SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@TheCombatChristianTRIVITA:Use my TRIVITA link to get started on your wellness journey: https://bit.ly/HealthyChristianCovenant Eyes: If you want to protect yourself and your loved ones from the dangers of p*rn, getCovenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/Restore-CovenantUSE CODE RESTORE30 at checkout to get your first 30 days FREE when you use the link ✅Other ways foryou to support the ministry:

Most work as farmers, craftsmen, and carpet makers within close-knit family communities. They are entirely Muslim with little access to the gospel since Scripture translation is only just beginning. This is a largely forgotten people, yet not forgotten by God. Pray for the message of Jesus to reach them through creative means, for believing families to live among them, and for the Khorasani Turk to encounter Christ as Lord.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 02/15 62,919Giving For 02/22 30,796YTD Budget 1,176,923Giving 1,517,917 OVER/(UNDER) 340,994 Fellowship Youth & College Silent Auction | March 8 | 4 pm - 6pmJoin us for a fun evening supporting our mission trips to Arlington, TX, and the Czech Republic!

Cody and I dug into the real side of entrepreneurship, what it actually takes to build wealth without chasing shiny ideas. I shared why I walked away from the tech startup fantasy and leaned into simple businesses that solve real problems. We talked through the ten minute drill, how I evaluate opportunity in any town, and why people waste years building businesses with zero demand. I broke down why your first business is about reps and skill acquisition, not money, and how boring work like tree removal or survey work can set you up for financial freedom faster than chasing passive income. This is a full breakdown of how to think like an operator, what the real wealthy people actually do, and why momentum is everything.

“Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:10).

This year we are doing my group coaching course together via this podcast! It's free and it only gets better as the year progresses.  In January we began with God at the center of our day and our home. We worked to build the habit of a morning prayer routine. I highly recommend the rosary. It's only about 20 minutes and you'll meditate on the whole life of Jesus. February is the month of decluttering. Saturday episodes have been added to focus on decluttering in the kitchen. Each month will have a different focus area and the Saturday episodes will help you focus on one small section of that room.  If you're new here, welcome and give this first episode of 2026 a listen to hear where to begin: 316. Your 2026 Life Overhaul Plan: Faith, Clutter, Debt, Diet and More!  If you've never prayed a rosary or you want to see how you can incorporate it into active decluttering, here is the first episode of my rosary declutter series from last summer. 288. Summer Declutter Series Week Just getting started on your decluttering journey? Give this episode a listen before you begin: 322. Guidelines to Decluttering ***Are you so overwhelmed with clutter that you find yourself unable to make any decisions? Do you plan on decluttering only to find yourself standing in a room confused about where to start? Are you hoping motivation will strike and you'll get it all done in one weekend? If this sounds like you, let's work together. Book a one hour virtual coaching session via Zoom. Together we craft a decluttering plan and I walk you through the process. You'll complete much of the decluttering on your own time at your own pace. I just give you the roadmap and the accountability. Cost $77 per hour. Virtual Coaching Schedule   Not sure what you need? No problem! Book a complimentary 15 minute clarity call.

This conversation confronts a tension most people avoid: the conflict between experiencing the full truth and survival. Leo Gura argues that pursuing absolute truth dismantles identity, morality, and even humanity's instinct to preserve itself. The discussion explores nonduality, awakening, institutional rot, and the psychological cost of radical skepticism. At stake is a stark question: do we ultimately serve truth, or does it serve us?Part 2: https://youtu.be/zeHVGPS56BMPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Nonduality00:02:18 Reality as One: Nonduality Explained00:05:33 Meaning Beyond Materialism00:07:58 Rationality, Intuition, and the Infinite00:10:01 Fundamentalism in Religion and Physics00:16:20 Survival, Truth, and Cultural Systems00:19:51 Awakening and Absolute Consciousness00:23:20 Truth Versus Survival Instincts00:27:12 The Cost of Pursuing Absolute Truth00:30:00 Total Skepticism and Institutional Limits00:35:18 Intuition, Fallibility, and Discovery00:39:52 Truth Obsession Versus Curiosity00:42:43 The Book That Triggered the Shift00:49:00 Post-Survival Malaise in Modern Life00:53:08 Truth as Anchor in Cultural Collapse00:57:45 Evolution Through Consciousness01:00:25 When Survival Undermines Truth01:04:50 Absolute Good Versus Human Morality01:08:22 Projection, Duality, and Value01:13:08 The Risk of Anti-Human Philosophy01:15:54 Two Competing Truth Systems01:18:39 Truth as Liberation and Moral Reconstruction #Nonduality, #Awakening, #Consciousness, #truthseekers , #Philosophy, #Existence, #SelfRealization, #Metaphysics, #Morality, #EgoDeath, , #physicspodcast, #philosophypodcast MERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

Send a textPeaches and Trent riff on an uncomfortable truth the Air Force rarely markets well: per capita, it's the most lethal force in modern warfare. From GWAT kill ratios and budget realities to why “Chair Force” jokes might actually be strategic misdirection, this episode spirals into a candid breakdown of how the services really operate. They dig into logistics versus lethality, why the Army wins wars by sustaining them, how the Navy quietly controls the underwater domain, and why the Space Force affects everyone whether they realize it or not. The conversation also tackles SOCOM funding myths, why selection and pipelines aren't interchangeable, the reality of special mission units, and how expensive it is to create—and keep—elite capability.

Democrats RAGING After Trump's State Of The Union Address! Andrew Branca. 16 Minute Documentary on Voter Fraud.   MEDIA REACTS! Democrats RAGING After Trump's State Of The Union Address! Andrew Branca. At the State of the Union, President Trump asked lawmakers to stand if they agreed with a simple principle: the first duty of government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens. Many Democrats refused. The moment sparked fierce backlash, viral clips, and crushing post-speech polling showing overwhelming approval from viewers. Was it political theater — or a revealing moment about party priorities? Constitutional stakes, the Save America Act, birthright citizenship debates, sanctuary policies, and why this single visual moment may shape the 2026 midterms.

In this episode of Reading With Your Kids, host Jed Doherty welcomes Cliodhna O'Sullivan, author of the YA romantasy Her Hidden Fire, and Steph Carse, creator of the picture book I Am Awesomely Made. First, Jed chats with Cliodhna O'Sullivan about her powerful new YA romantasy that blends magic, romance, and sharp social commentary. We meet Aya, a girl with a rare magical gift who secretly gives her power to her best friend to save his family's status. That one choice pulls her into a darkly enchanting magic academy on remote islands inspired by Ireland's castles and misty landscapes. Cliodhna shares how growing up poor with an alcoholic, gambling-addicted father shaped her understanding of exploitation, sacrifice, and systems built on the backs of vulnerable people—core themes in Her Hidden Fire. She also talks about love triangles done right, multiple POVs across the trilogy, and her long, twisty road to publication that included losing both an agent and a publisher before finally finding the right home for her book. Later, Jed talks with Steph Carse about I Am Awesomely Made, a picture book and movement rooted in his nonprofit YICount.org. Drawing on his own bullying experiences, Steph explains how the book helps kids build self-worth, understand their incredible bodies, and use the power of words to push back against bullying—especially in the age of social media and cyberbullying. Together, they explore how families can start life-giving conversations that remind kids they matter and are, truly, awesomely made.
