We're taught to be grateful for what we have — but what about when gratitude starts to feel like a cage? What about when we feel the tension of wanting more, yet feeling…like we'll be too much, or others will judge it, or it'll completely disrupt our lives?Let's move past that limitation, and step into the courage to want more. I'm talking about how to embrace desire without guilt and why wanting “more” — more freedom, more meaning, more joy — doesn't make you ungrateful or selfish. You'll learn how to tell the difference between healthy, grounded desire and fear-based striving, and how to honor your growth without apologizing for it.If you've ever felt guilty for wanting more — in your work, your relationships, or your life — this conversation will help you reframe desire as an act of courage, not greed.Because courage isn't about settling. It's about expanding.

In Session 317, I sit down with Dr. Francesca Delia Espinoza to revisit one of the most foundational—but often misunderstood—topics in behavior analysis: eye contact. We explore why eye contact shouldn't be treated as a simple objective, but instead understood within its broader social and developmental context. Francesca explains how eye contact is better re-framed as "eye-looking," and why behavior analysts need a strong conceptual foundation for evaluating when, how, and why to teach it. We discuss her recent paper in Perspectives on Behavior Science, which encourages practitioners to analyze the controlling variables behind eye contact rather than relying on rote teaching procedures. We then shift into the role of eye contact in autism development and early intervention. Francesca discusses how deviations in gaze behavior can influence a child's learning trajectory, and why early, naturally occurring social contingencies can make such a significant difference. We also touch on the potential aversiveness of eye contact for some individuals, and how to navigate that ethically and effectively. Our conversation expands into related research on social media, gaze avoidance, and how adults and children with autism engage differently with eye-related cues online. Francesca also talks about her Substack newsletter, "What Darwin Taught Me," which blends behavioral science with accessible and engaging writing. From there, we explore her creative work in conceptual fiction, including her "Aura" series from her Substack Newsletter — a not-too-distant science-fiction world where behavior analysts work alongside AI systems that analyze sessions, generate programs, and support day-to-day clinical tasks. This leads us into a broader discussion about the role of AI in applied behavior analysis, including its promises, limitations, and the importance of preserving hands-on clinical expertise. Francesca describes one of the short stories in the Aura series about behavior analysts who travel to developing countries, only to realize their reliance on technology becomes a liability when the systems fail. It's a striking reminder that behavior change happens in real time, and nothing replaces skilled human interaction. We close by reflecting on how emerging technologies—AI, automation, and digital platforms—might shape the future of ABA for better or worse.

We look at the latest book by Chris Smaje. See more about Finding Lights in a Dark Age, Sharing Land, Work and Craft here. Finding Lights in a Dark Age, Sharing Land, Work and Craft, reviewed This is perhaps a curate's egg of a book. We have read and reviewed previous books by Smaje, and they are intelligently written, advocating interesting and thoughtful points of view. You can say the same for this book, or perhaps parts of it. Naturally if you are going to tackle the future, and inevitably the possible dystopias that could lie in wait for us there, then you are going to go to some dark places. Which is directly acknowledged in the title of the book, so no one can feel surprised about where the book ends up. Sort of. Thing is, and it is an interesting concept, for the final chapter of the book we have arguably gone to somewhere 28 months later perhaps, just without the zombies. All fine in a, 'I see a darkness falling across the land' kinda way, but it is perhaps too short, too brief, and too undeveloped to really give much insight. It is of course plausible that Bristol has broken away from the London way of rolling, and you could also include the other two BR bastions of alternative living, namely Brighton and and Bradford too, who might wish to do the same too. This future mind game is of course interesting, and does build on the trends and themes covered in the previous sections of the book. However at times it felt like it needed a stronger narrative to stitch all of these ideas, fears, and observations together. At times, apart from a justified sense of an all too possible future of bad times, it was hard to really gather clear takeaways about what Smaje wanted to say, and how he felt it might all play out. Naturally there are very good reasons for this too, we are talking about the future after all, and also particularly chaotic times, with numerous bad actors. Perhaps it is unfair to hold Smaje to an impossible standard, foolish perhaps to expect greater clarity or a coherent vision of what is coming down the line when so many of the key positions of power are held by simplistic, vengeful, capricious people. A thought provoking book, the trouble is, there might just be no good options for us, humanity inc, down the road. More about the book In Finding Lights in a Dark Age, his latest book, renowned agrarian thinker Chris Smaje explains that society and government are still asking what our countries can yield, and in what quantity. They do so because we continue to live in conquest-based, abundance-for-some societies. In this thought-provoking book, Chris discusses how we can meet the challenges of our age by moving away from the political and economic philosophies of both the left and right, to a more equitable re-organization of society, economy, land and food production. To survive and even thrive, Chris proposes the adoption of new models of political organization, where land and capital are seen as a common good that involves widespread and secure distribution. Work and production should rest on commitments struck in a community rather than on deals in a global market. Ultimately, we should build a sense of future possibility around local societies dedicated to human and environmental wellbeing. Chris explores a world where we live slower lives, more immersed in local ecologies, and generate livelihoods locally in households and communities rather than ones orchestrated through centralised governments or corporations: in other words, communities that work from the bottom up rather than the top down. In Finding Lights in a Dark Age, Chris discusses what this society and landscape might look like in the near future and the longer term. As increasing numbers of people seek a rural, more local and self-sufficient lifestyle, the ideas in this important book will reach a new, eager audience. More about the author Chris Smaje has co-worked a small farm in Somerset for the last twenty years. Previously, he was a univ...

We do need our brains and bodies to be in sync for this to be meaningful, illuminating, give you (and I) an “aha!” moment.

In this episode, I sit down with Catherine Marche, a French-born goldsmith and designer now based in London, whose jewelry feels alive with movement, color, and emotion. Catherine's journey to the bench wasn't a straight path — she began her career as a computer scientist before following her curiosity into the world of fine jewelry.We talk about how her life of travel and discovery has shaped her artistry, the importance of intuition in both design and business, and what it means to create jewelry that truly reflects the essence of its wearer.Catherine shares how she built a jewelry collective in Hatton Garden that supports emerging artists, her thoughts on creative freedom, and the tension many of us feel between making from the heart and making for a living.It's a beautiful, joy-filled conversation about curiosity, courage, and the stories that live within the work we make.Follow Catherine:Catherine on Instagram: ⁠@catherinemarcheCatherine's Website: ⁠catherinemarche-designs.comLove the Podcast?Support an episode: ⁠Click here to learn more!⁠Without your support I couldn't continue the Slowmade Podcast.

Making great beer doesn't automatically mean you're ready to lead people—but in most breweries, that's exactly what happens. Talented brewers, servers, and production crew get promoted into leadership without ever being shown how to actually lead. The result? Frustration, burnout, and team dynamics that drag down quality, morale, and margins.In this session, you'll learn three proven leadership tools that will help you coach, challenge, and develop your team—without losing the heart and vibe that make craft beer special. First, we'll introduce the Support-Challenge Matrix, a simple framework for setting the right tone as a leader. You'll learn how to be “high support, high challenge” and create a culture of empowerment instead of fear or entitlement.Then, we'll walk through the 100X Leader Assessment to help you evaluate not just how well you're performing, but how well you're helping others perform. Finally, we'll break down the Developing Others Square—a step-by-step model to train and grow your team with intention (and avoid the dreaded “Pit of Despair”).You'll leave with practical tools you can use right away and an invitation to take the next step through the new Craft Leader Certification, a professional development path built specifically for leaders in the craft beer industry.Ryan Mayfield is a leadership coach who helps brewery professionals build healthy leaders, strong teams, and thriving cultures. Through Craft Leadership, he equips clients with practical tools to lead with confidence, improve communication, and reduce daily frustrations. Craft has supported top breweries like Other Half, Rhinegeist, and Creature Comforts in navigating leadership and team challenges. Based in Tulsa, Ryan lives with his wife, teenage son, and opinionated beagle, Rooster.Join us in person for CBP Connects New OrleansDecember 8–10, 2025It's never been more important to connect: https://cbpconnects.com/

In this episode of Archispeak, we sit down with architect Anthony Laney to explore the ideas behind his new book, Poetics of Home. We talk about what it really takes to design spaces that feel deeply human and how his team at Laney LA has built a practice around clarity, rigor, and emotional resonance.We dig into the invisible forces that shape a great project: the trust between architects and builders, the discipline required to strip a design down to its essentials, and the humility it takes to let a home reveal what it wants to become. Anthony shares stories from the field, from working with an extraordinary build team to navigating the inevitable surprises that show up during construction, and how those moments often lead to the most beautiful outcomes.Across generations in our profession, there's a hunger for meaning in the work. This conversation gets right to the heart of that. Whether you're just entering architecture or you've been at it for decades, Anthony's perspective is a powerful reminder of why we do this in the first place: to create places where people can live well.Episode Links:POETICS of HOME by Laney LAAmazon Link-----Have a question for the hosts?

James Lamdin is a sage voice of reason and experience in the vintage watch market. He's earned those titles through his years in the business. A co-founder of the OG collector meetup RedBar Group, Lamdin went on to found Analog Shift, the vintage and pre-owned dealer acquired by Watches of Switzerland (also the parent company of Hodinkee) in 2020. In a conversation recorded live in front of an audience at UBS House of Craft in New York City in October, Lamdin breaks down the vintage and pre-owned watch market, how we got here, where we've been, and where we're likely going. He also gives plenty of useful insight on what it means for a second-hand watch to be truly authenticated and how collectors need to stay curious to get the most out of their watch-collecting journey. Lamdin proves himself a wealth of knowledge when it comes to used timepieces and what anyone should be thinking about when they're considering buying pre-owned. We had a blast recording this episode, especially taking questions from the audience. Be sure to leave any thoughts, comments, or questions in the comments, and we'll do our best to respond. Show Notes00:30 James Lamdin and Analog Shift 2:00 Bloomberg.com4:15 The Biggest Ever Boom In Swiss Watches is Coming to an End4:45 Watches of Switzerland Group USA Acquires Analogue Shift6:09 Secondary Market Rolex and Patek Price Rise, Fall and Recovery10:00 U.S. Tariffs Impact On Secondary Market 12:11 Under The Radar: American Watches16:00 RedBar Group 20:40 Omega Speedmaster Professional 23:00 Rolex Certified Pre-Owned 25:15 There are not enough watchmakers 35:54 Secondary Watch Market To Top New Sales By 2033 At $85 Billion 39:13 Neo Vintage Watches 41:01 The Military Industrial Complex 44:24 Cartier Tank Americaine Diamond 48:31 Ebay Authentication For Watches

If the holidays leave you more drained than joyful, you're not alone—and given what the holidays are supposed to represent, it's really a shame that year after year, we get sucked into the parasitic undertow of stress and overwhelm. But—if you choose it—it is possible to have a stress-free holiday season.Today I'm sharing my three rules for creating a calm, meaningful, and truly stress-free holiday season — without isolating yourself or people-pleasing your way through December. Let's talk about how to trade obligation for intention, set boundaries before burnout hits, and redefine what “togetherness” really means on your terms.This isn't about pretending everything's perfect — it's about designing a holiday season rooted in courage, clarity, and self-respect, and opting out of the b.s.

Send us a textPioneering brewery Rogue Ales announces closure.Reading the news of Rogue Ales' closing I saw several people react with surprise. These don't surprise me anymore, every brewery is at risk. Rogue isn't the biggest we've seen fall and I'm sure there will be more. It does still sting. Craft beer is really taking a beating.Rogue Ales is credited with introducing the "bomber" to the beer world. The 22 oz. bottles were extremely popular for a while. My cellar is still full of them. I recall drinking macros in 22s back in the day, but we called the Double Deuces. I thought it was before Rogue, but Rogue was launched in 1988, even before my drinking days began, so maybe they did introduce them. Props to Rogue for that one.Surprising news from the ashes of Iron Hill. Some of the recently closed locations have been purchased and may reopen, as Iron Hill. No real details on this one right now but we'll keep an eye out.Not beer news here but the hemp ban passed. We don't love the competition with craft but we also don't think an entire industry should be banned. We're adults here and should be able to make these choices on our own. The industry does have a year to prepare and efforts are definitely in motion to loosen the restrictions.In other news... GenZ invents coffee stout, Wilding Brands expands their portfolio with the purchase of Upslope Brewing, and a sweet new pinball machine is coming.Thanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!

Send me a Text Message. Am I my brand? And does branding even matter when I'm a tiny, one-person creative business?In this episode, I untangle the belief that branding is mostly fonts, logos, and pretty photos, and I lean on Brand the Change to explore branding as direction – a compass for how you show up, what you say yes to, and how people experience your work.I share examples from the knitting world, some brands that randomply popped up in my head and that's saying much in itself (think Stephen West, Rowan, Hedgehog Fibres), talk about my own journey from yarn shop to coaching, and get honest about boundaries, privacy, and starting a YouTube channel without burning myself out.I close with journaling questions to help you see where your branding already shines, and how you can use it as a tool instead of a costume.• Watch the video version on my YouTube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@pattern-shift  You know me as a guide, mentor and teacher, but I've also set off on a new adventure, coaching. Coaching gets a bad rep sometimes, but when it's done right, it can be really transformational. As part of my coaching education, I'll soon need to do real coaching sessions. And it could be a really great opportunity for you to experience it at no or low cost. If you've ever been curious about working with me in this way, now's the time.

Not all Roth conversions are created equal — and new research shows a clear winner.
