In this episode, we discuss the literary and cultural theories of Raymond Williams. Famous for classic works of literary analysis like The City and the Country and concepts like ‘structures of feeling', we join Williams in analyzing how our emotions, impulses, and tone in poetry and novels evolve in relation to economic development. Many structures of feeling today are built on exploitation, but maybe that's not the end of the story. This is just a short teaser of the full episode.

Would you rather build a financial future lined with velvet cushions, or one pieced together with spud bags??   Too many households in Ireland—and globally—are entering retirement without the savings needed to sustain their lifestyle. In this episode, I explore the uncomfortable truth behind retirement readiness, from the dominance of State Pensions to the worrying lack of planning, and why delayed gratification and early saving matter more than ever. Key Points: State Pension reliance: In Ireland, over half of workers without private pensions expect to rely mainly on the State Pension (€15,100 p.a. in 2025). Research insights: CCPC data shows 26% of adults are completely unprepared for retirement; many regret starting pensions too late or don't understand how they work. Spending reality: Retirement spending often follows a U-shaped “smile”—high early, lower mid-life, higher again with health costs. But reductions are often enforced, not chosen. Global parallels: US data mirrors the same challenge—most middle-aged households have modest pension balances, and Social Security dominates retirement income. Cultural habits: Rising instant-spending patterns today may make cutting back tomorrow feel like deprivation. Solutions: Start saving early, define retirement goals, regularly review pension performance, seek professional advice, and prepare for Auto Enrolment (2026). The takeaway: Financial freedom in retirement won't just happen—it must be planned for deliberately, and the time to act is now.

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. Sukhinder Singh Cassidy is the CEO of Xero. Xero is a cloud-based accounting software designed for small businesses. They did $2.1 billion in revenue last year. Over the past 25 years, Sukhinder has had leadership roles at Google, Amazon, and StubHub. Notes: Key Learnings Strategic CEO Job Search Criteria – Sukhinder had four non-negotiables: macro tailwinds/good market, customer she could be passionate about, strong business model, and a role where she could "learn for miles" for 5-8 years. Only two companies met her criteria in 18 months of searching. "Sell, Interview, Sell" Hiring Process – First meeting is 50% selling the opportunity to attract top talent. Only after candidates lean in do you shift to intensive interviewing with leadership team exposure. The Virtuous Cycle Framework – Customer at the top, supported by "high purpose, high performance, high people" culture. "It's an 'and,' not an 'or'" - you don't get to choose just one element. Back-Channeling is Critical – Reference checking happens throughout the entire interview process, not just at the end. "The most important thing is not just front channel... it's all the back channel." Values Alignment Over Pure Qualifications – "Go where my values fit and my strengths are valued." Cultural fit becomes the deciding factor in close hiring calls, not competence. The Layoff Leadership Test – Six weeks after joining, Sukhinder laid off 900 people based on McKinsey benchmarking. Showed consistency between the outside-in analysis presented to the board and transparent communication to employees. Portfolio of Bets Strategy – Balance growth, profitability, and customer happiness through diversified initiatives ranging from "safe moves" to "flyers," with clear probability assessments. Consistency as Culture Foundation – "Culture means consistency of message and what's important." Authenticity through change, not resistance to change. The 10-Slide CEO Interview Deck Framework: Vision statement (destination in 2-3 years) Outside-in market analysis Competitive landscape SWOT analysis of current position Five key strategic moves Implementation approach ("the how") Estimated outcomes with probability ranges Practical Application: Job Search Strategy – Define 4-5 non-negotiable criteria upfront. Be willing to wait for roles that truly meet your standards rather than taking "the job before the job." Interview Preparation – Always build a comprehensive thesis deck even if not requested. Use it to clarify your own thinking and demonstrate strategic capability. Hiring Excellence – Spend equal time selling the opportunity and evaluating candidates. Use diverse interview panels and back-channel extensively throughout the process. Cultural Leadership – Be consistent in messaging across all stakeholders (board, investors, employees). Authenticity enables trust during periods of change. Strategic Planning – Frame initiatives as a portfolio of bets with clear probability assessments. Balance growth, profitability, and customer satisfaction rather than optimizing for one. Leadership Hiring Process: The CEO interviews top 2-3 levels even without hiring authority Diverse interviewer panels with "bar raisers" Business problem-solving presentations in the final rounds Multiple leadership team interactions before the final decision Life Lessons: Patience in Career Progression – Sometimes the right opportunity requires waiting. Sukhinder was frustrated during 18 months of searching but found the perfect fit. Preparation Separates Candidates – The depth of strategic thinking demonstrated in final presentations often determines CEO selections. Culture Survives Through Consistency – Not avoiding change, but maintaining consistent values and communication approach through inevitable changes. Leadership Requires Tough Decisions – Laying off 900 people six weeks into the role, but doing it transparently and based on clear data/analysis. Value Creation Through Alignment – Finding roles where your strengths are valued and values align creates exponentially better outcomes than pure skill matching. Systems Thinking Builds Trust – Sharing appropriate "behind the scenes" context helps teams understand difficult decisions and builds long-term credibility. Early Career Focus – "Do great work for great people." Find talented leaders to apprentice under and work exceptionally hard to maximize learning. Authenticity Enables Performance – Being genuine about challenges and changes builds stronger relationships than trying to maintain artificial stability. Strategic Communication – Frame personal asks in terms of organizational benefits. Make it about solving their problems, not your desires. The Xero Transformation: Financial Performance: $2.1B revenue, 21% YoY growth while maintaining profitability Cultural Approach: "High purpose, high performance, high people" - no choosing between them Strategic Moves: Pricing/packaging optimization, sales motion transformation, customer experience reimagining (new dashboard with 3000+ customer inputs) Leadership Philosophy: Provide a "systems view" to employees, share investor-level insights appropriately, and maintain authenticity during difficult decisions

Game B's theosophical utopia vs. Dark Enlightenment's technocracy, esoteric roots, surveillance tech, fantasy delusions, and resisting AI-driven control During our podcast break, enjoy this replay of Courtenay's appearance on Out Of This World with host Jamie Hanshaw from June 2025. Key topics: Dialectic of Game B (decentralized, theosophical utopia) vs. Dark Enlightenment (authoritarian technocracy), both pushing a technological singularity/noosphere. Game B details: 2011 Stanton meetings (Jim Rutt, Jordan Hall, Brett Weinstein), transpolitical movement, civium projects, collective intelligence, and UN/climate narrative ties. Dark Enlightenment: Curtis Yarvin (Mencius Moldbug), Nick Land's accelerationism, Peter Thiel's network states, and technocracy roots (e.g., Elon Musk's grandfather). Esoteric influences: Theosophy, Gnosticism, neoplatonism, occult symbolism (e.g., Saturn, X logo), and subversion of Christianity (Jordan Hall, liturgy for communitarianism). Cultural impact: Predictive programming (e.g., Mickey 17, Dollhouse), surveillance tech (internet of nanobio things, Palantir), and fantasy delusions shaping technocratic agendas. Courtenay's insights: Decoding technocrat lingo, resisting utopian traps, and preserving free will against AI-driven control. Follow and Connect with Jamie Hanshaw:

What happens when Italian folk traditions cross the Atlantic? This video explores how Italian witchcraft, especially the healing practice of Segnature, has been reimagined, reinvented, and often misrepresented in the United States. From Leland's Aradia to Wicca-inspired “Stregheria,” we'll look at how Italian-American communities blended folklore, Catholic devotion, and Pagan spirituality to create new forms of practice. But are these the same as the vernacular traditions in Italy, or something entirely different?This video is a recording of the paper I presented at the World Congress of the International Association for the History of Religions, held at Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland.Join me as we unpack the myths, the reinventions, and the cultural translations behind Italian witchcraft in America.CONNECT & SUPPORT

For years, Dr. Jonathan Metzl thought about gun violence as a public health issue. His approach treated it like an epidemic and treated guns as a health risk. But as he studied a mass shooting that happened near where he lives in Nashville, he realized he had been missing something crucial for years— the cultural power of guns. This hour, as we reflect on the gun violence that has shaken the U.S. in recent weeks, we are listening back to our conversation with Dr. Metzl on his book What We’ve Become: Living and Dying in a Country of Arms. GUEST: Dr. Jonathan Metzl: Frederick B. Rentschler II Professor of Sociology and Psychiatry, and the director of the Department of Medicine, Health, and Society, at Vanderbilt University. His most recent book is What We’ve Become: Living and Dying in a Country of Arms. This episode originally aired on October 4, 2024.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Ordinary Christian Podcast, Craig reflects on the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the implications of violence against free speech. He discusses the cultural division in America, the importance of healthy debate, and the role of Christians in public discourse. Emphasizing the need for open conversations, Craig encourages listeners to engage with differing viewpoints while standing firm in their beliefs. He highlights the foundational role of religious freedom in American society and the responsibility of Christians to share the gospel with love and truth.TakeawaysCharlie Kirk was murdered because of his beliefs.The most sinister worldview problem is the one that seeks to eliminate free speech.Disagreeing with someone is often labeled as an act of violence.We must never allow violence to create silence.Healthy debates should end with handshakes and hugs.The freedom of religion is the foundation of free speech.Cultural intimidation should not limit our freedoms.We have a responsibility to love our neighbors as ourselves.We must be willing to disagree when it means speaking the truth.There are countless people who need to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.TitlesThe Cost of Speaking TruthFree Speech Under FireChapters00:00Reflections on Violence and Free Speech07:10The Role of Christians in Public Discourse

This week on Visual Intonation, we sit down with Max-Arthur Mantle, a Jamaican-born artist whose lens, pen, and voice challenge silence. As a writer, photographer, and filmmaker, Mantle builds bridges between the Caribbean and the diaspora, between queerness and culture, between pain and power. His debut novel Batty Bwoy didn't just tell a story. It reclaimed one. In this conversation, Mantle takes us behind the scenes of his boldest work yet: BATTY BWOY!, the feature film adaptation that will become the first LGBTQ-themed narrative ever filmed on Jamaican soil. We talk about reclaiming slurs, confronting polite homophobia, and why it's not enough to be tolerated — you must be seen. You must be heard. You must be accepted. We trace Mantle's path from fashion photography to fiction, from Howard University classrooms to film festival stages. He reflects on growing up queer in Jamaica, on the resilience of diasporic identity, and on the global responsibility of storytelling. This episode is about more than art. It's about truth. It's about healing. It's about that 13-year-old boy afraid of his own future, and the man who now tells him: you are not alone. If you've ever felt erased, if you've ever fought to make your story visible, this episode will speak to you. Tune in as Max-Arthur Mantle offers not just a conversation, but a call — to create, to confront, and to care. https://www.gofundme.com/f/ub8n6-support-jamaicas-first-lgbtq-feature-film/e/o?attribution_id=sl:a10e5f1c-7907-4845-91ae-5c2257e6fc71&lang=en_US&ts=1751960877&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp13_t1-amp14_t2-amp15_t3&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=email&v=amp14_t2Info@battybwoyfilm.comhttps://battybwoy.com/  Max-Arthur Mantle  Source: Instagram Max-Arthur Mantle

Episode Description: When a flyer leads Max and Molly to new POG activity, Aunt M sends them to the Great Wall of China in 1601. There, they discover that what locals think is a terrifying “monster” is actually a POG transmission antenna. With the Commander eager to take credit, Max and Molly must rescue a strange printout that deepens the koan mystery.

What happens when we swap our desperate (conditioned) grasping for certainty for a curious(ly awkward) embrace of confusion? This episode invites you into a radical reframing of confusion—not as weakness or failure, but as an appropriate, even necessary response to our rapidly changing world. Cultural messaging tells us confusion should be avoided, fixed, overcome. That if we're confused, somehow we're failing life! Abso-f$%king-lutely not.Through personal stories, practical guidance, poetry, and more, let's illuminate how confusion can lead us to clarity, self-trust, and connection when approached more consciously. You'll learn to differentiate between conscious confusion and unconscious rumination, with tools to lovingly disrupt those unconscious loops. Releasing certainty and embracing conscious confusion is a practice to disorient us from the systems designed to keep us good consumers and bad rebels.Learn more about Dana & Leah's Fall Equinox retreat in Joshua Tree!

Timmerie shares a powerful story about traveling with her newborn son and being asked a surprising question: “Miss, is he expensive?” That moment opened the door to a bigger reflection – what does it really cost to raise children, and what actually matters most in parenting? Cultural headlines claim it takes nearly $29,000 a year to raise a young child, but Timmerie challenges that myth. She explains that raising kids doesn’t require luxury strollers, designer nurseries, or endless activities. Instead, the true “cost” of children is not money – it’s the gift of time, presence, and love. Parenthood is about embracing the sacrifice and joy of raising children with faith, generosity, and simplicity. She also brings up how raising kids is a visible witness to others. Whether your children are peacefully sleeping in a carrier or throwing a tantrum in the grocery store, the way we live parenthood can make it look approachable – or impossible – to a world that is increasingly unfamiliar with family life. For Catholics, this is also a chance for quiet evangelization, showing that family life is not only doable but beautiful, even in its hardest moments. Timmerie reminds you that what really matters in raising children is not the dollars in the bank but the quality of our presence, the discipline we lovingly provide, and the sacramental life we share with them. Marriage and parenthood, she says, is the boldest risk of our age – and the most rewarding.

VIII Bienvenidos, lunáticos, a este viaje tan especial… el programa número 200 de La Llamada de la Luna. Han sido muchas las sendas recorridas, muchas las preguntas lanzadas al vacío, esperando algún eco en la penumbra. Y hoy, en este episodio tan señalado, regresan aquellos que, con su voz, su mirada y su curiosidad, han arrojado luz sobre lo desconocido: investigadores, periodistas y testigos que han compartido con nosotros la aventura del misterio. No es un programa cualquiera. Es el número 200. Una reunión de voces, de saberes y de interrogantes que todavía resuenan en la oscuridad. Cada emisión ha sido un paso hacia lo inexplicable. Cada palabra, una pequeña llave que abre puertas veladas. Y hoy, esas puertas suman doscientas. Doscientas huellas que hemos dejado juntos en el tiempo. Cada uno de nuestros invitados ha sido, de verdad, una “puerta abierta” al misterio, un faro que ilumina lo desconocido y nos permite asomarnos a mundos insólitos. Sus pasiones, su conocimiento y su experiencia han dejado huella en la historia del misterio en España, Europa y en definitiva, en el mundo.

When Kim Davis spent six days behind bars for refusing to sign same-sex marriage certificates, most people thought the story was over. They were wrong. Nine years later, Davis faces $360,000 in personal damages—and her case is now headed to the Supreme Court with the potential to overturn same-sex marriage entirely. Constitutional attorney Matthew Staver, who will argue before the justices, reveals how a small-town Kentucky clerk's conscience has become the vehicle for what could be the most significant religious liberty victory since the founding. But here's the twist: Even Chief Justice John Roberts saw this coming. In an unprecedented move, he read his Obergefell dissent from the bench—something he's never done before or since—warning that "five lawyers" were imposing their will without constitutional basis. Now, with a transformed Supreme Court and religious freedom wins piling up, Staver explains why 2026 could be the year everything changes. From the legal strategy that's already defeated "terrible decisions" to why Christians can't repeat the post-Roe mistakes, this episode reveals the inside story of the case that has constitutional conservatives hopeful.   Resources: https://lc.org/mat-staver https://lc.org/Kim   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: 2026 Classical Conversations Family Cruise Have you heard?

"We want to turn cat haters into cat toleraters, and that has worked so well. Even the people who say 'I hate cats.' Okay, that's fine if you hate cats. But don't wish them dead. We're gonna work to keep them out of your yard." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and 6 Degrees of Cats. In this inspiring episode, host Stacy LeBaron welcomes Joy Smith, founder of FieldHaven Feline Center in Lincoln, California, who shares her remarkable journey from accidentally rescuing a few cats on her street to building a $1.5 million organization that has transformed entire communities. Joy's story begins in 2003 when a simple call to help with trapping led to raising kittens in her barn's tack room, selling them at a local farmer's market, and ultimately creating one of California's most innovative community cat programs. Her evolution from reluctant rescuer to strategic leader offers valuable lessons about growing sustainable, community-focused programs. Joy details FieldHaven's groundbreaking partnership with the Marysville Police Department, which began in 2018 with a goal to spay and neuter every cat in the city. She explains how they overcame initial community resistance through education, implemented a feeding ordinance to address business owner concerns, and created a comprehensive system that includes mobile spay/neuter clinics, vaccine and microchip services, and community resource centers. The program's success demonstrates how strategic thinking, community engagement, and municipal support can transform a city overrun with cats into one operating in maintenance mode with occasional weeks where they can't fill their spay/neuter quota. The conversation also explores Joy's recent transition from executive director to founder and ambassador, sharing the challenges and rewards of succession planning in animal welfare organizations. Her insights about treating nonprofits as businesses, paying competitive salaries to attract talent, and the cultural shift toward recognizing pets as family members offer valuable perspective for leaders navigating organizational growth and sustainability in today's evolving animal welfare landscape.
