Beginning at a young age, Brenden felt compelled to become an accountant in order to relieve his parents of their financial burden. Now he's the founder of MasterTalk where Brenden refers to himself as "a public speaker, communicator and facilitator." Brenden is the first in his family's lineage to complete higher education.  My guest currently lives in Montreal Canada where he purchased a home for he and his mother in order to eliminate two mortgages. Culturally, as the first born, he had inherent responsibilities, including being very protective of his mother. Unfortunately his father, who passed away in 2019, was affected by  alcoholism and made things challenging around the home.  Both parents worked hard as factory workers, but just couldn't make ends meet. Brenden, who says, he was always good with numbers, studied accounting and got great jobs out of college and was eventually able to pay off all outstanding debt. Brenden admires and loves his mother tremendously. He says, "my mother has a very different life now than what she struggled through in the last ten years. Culturally, "you don't just walk away from your partner or family member who is struggling. You continue to support them and provide for them.  My #1 priority was making sure everyone was safe," says Brenden. Sri Lanka, is an island country located in South-Central Asia, and Brenden shares stories of both his parents who grew up in Sri Lanka. His mother is the youngest of a large family and she loved to tend to the family garden.  She married at 30 years old and immigrated to Canada.  His mother taught her son many wonderful life lessons including  his story that he shares about the $10 bill he found on the ground. Vijee hoped that her son understood that " even if we don't have a lot, we have a lot more than other people do and always be generous and lead with that generosity." After years of studying to be an accountant, then technology consultant, he was able to shift into doing what he really loved. He felt all of his steps in life where important. "That first step was absolutely necessary to get to the person I am today." Kumarasamy continues, " I got out of survival mode later in life and started to focus on the bigger picture of what I could do to serve the world" Brenden's Youtube channel is full of wonderful videos with professional advice for improving ones public speaking skills. He is self taught and wants everyone to understand that it wasn't easy in the beginning. He practiced hundreds of times before he felt he was ready. He was very fearful of launching that first Youtube video. He talks about trying to reach out and help many with public speaking skills and says "that when you care about others and only want to add value, you'll be able to overcome any fear/obstacle in the service of others."     MASTERTALK: https://www.mastertalk.ca/ YOUTUBE MASTER CHANNEL-"MASTERTALK"-https://www.youtube.com/@MasterTalks ROCKSTAR COMMUNICATOR WEBSITE: https://www.rockstarcommunicator.com/?r_done=1 LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?fetchDeterministicClustersOnly=false&heroEntityKey=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_profile%3AACoAABrmbRABNB9-E_3DuEEVBO0EIaIuSnmoIH8&keywords=brenden%20%F0%9F%8E%A4%20kumarasamy&origin=RICH_QUERY_SUGGESTION&position=0&searchId=a6724d6a-158d-4b1a-a818-839e6be2c6da&sid=DHE "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

EMOTIONALLY DRUNK ON YOU A Deeper Investigation Into Whether Insecure Attachment and Codependence Turn Love Into an Emotional Substance We Use to Escape Ourselves With Special Guest Dr. Allen Berger SYNOPSIS A lover can enter your bloodstream without ever touching your body. One text settles the panic. One unanswered call restarts it. A warm tone restores your worth. A distant look sends your identity into free fall. No chemical entered the system, yet the entire internal climate changed. What, then, have you been consuming? Human beings rarely describe romantic attachment as intoxication. Culture gives it prettier names. Passion. Loyalty. Devotion. Chemistry. Ride-or-die love. Yet beneath some of these celebrated experiences lives a dangerous emotional arrangement: another person has become responsible for producing the inner condition you cannot yet produce, tolerate, or sustain for yourself. Their attention becomes medicine. Their approval becomes evidence that you matter. Their availability becomes protection against abandonment. Their need for you becomes proof that you deserve to exist. Their obedience becomes peace. Once love carries this burden, relationship stops functioning as an encounter between two free human beings. It becomes a private emotional economy in which one person must keep paying so the other person does not collapse. Attachment theory helps explain how early bonds can shape the adult nervous system's expectations of closeness, separation, safety, and loss. Codependence adds another layer. A person may manage, rescue, fix, please, monitor, sacrifice, or overfunction in order to maintain access to emotional security. The behavior can look loving from the outside while fear quietly writes the contract. The anxious partner may call control “connection.” The avoidant partner may call emotional disappearance “freedom.” The rescuer may call indispensability “service.” The self-erasing partner may call surrender “commitment.” Every strategy attempts to solve the same unbearable problem: how can I keep another person from awakening feelings I do not know how to live with? Dr. Allen Berger's concept of emotional sobriety attacks this arrangement at its foundation. His work challenges the hidden belief that personal peace depends upon people, places, and circumstances behaving according to our private rules. “I am okay if you call.” “I am okay if you stay.” “I am okay if you understand.” “I am okay if you choose me.” These conditions turn another person's freedom into a threat. Could emotional sobriety begin when “I am okay if” finally loses authority? This does not require emotional coldness, radical isolation, or the fantasy that mature adults need nobody. Human beings require connection. The deeper question concerns governance. Who governs your inner life when someone disappoints you? Who controls your identity when affection gets withdrawn? Who becomes responsible for calming the fear that existed before the relationship began? Clinical maturity may involve learning to experience jealousy without surveillance, loneliness without self-erasure, uncertainty without interrogation, disappointment without retaliation, and grief without turning loss into proof of personal worthlessness. Philosophically, emotional sobriety confronts our understanding of love itself. Can love remain love when it demands psychological captivity? Can intimacy survive without control? Can commitment retain meaning when fear serves as the lock? A partner who cannot leave has not necessarily chosen you. A partner who must constantly regulate you has little room left to meet you. Culturally, many communities teach people to endure emotional dependence as evidence of loyalty. Men may learn to hide dependency behind authority, possession, silence, or rage. Women may receive praise for transforming self-neglect into service. Family systems can reward the person who carries everyone while quietly punishing the same person for developing a self. Under these conditions, codependence can wear the clothing of morality. Metaphysically, the topic reaches even further. What happens when consciousness seeks completion through possession? Can another person ever provide permanent shelter from an interior world you refuse to inhabit? Perhaps every attempt to make someone else the source of your emotional stability places sacred responsibility in human hands that cannot carry it. Tonight's investigation enters the space between love and dependency, support and self-abandonment, care and control, attachment and intoxication. Are you loving your partner? Or are you drinking them? And when the emotional supply runs low, who do you become?

What happens when silence becomes the primary source of sex education?For many Black and Brown women, conversations about sex, HIV, healthy relationships, and reproductive health were never truly conversations at all. Instead, they were often replaced with silence, fear, shame, or brief warnings that focused more on avoiding consequences than understanding our bodies, protecting our health, or making informed decisions.Silence has consequences.When accurate information is absent, misinformation often fills the gap. Myths replace science. Fear replaces understanding. Shame replaces curiosity. As a result, generations of women have entered adulthood carrying unanswered questions about sexuality, consent, HIV prevention, testing, reproductive health, and emotional well-being.This isn't simply an individual issue—it's a public health issue.The Legacy of SilenceAcross many communities, discussions about sex have historically been viewed as inappropriate or taboo. Parents often believed that avoiding the conversation would protect their children. Faith communities sometimes emphasized abstinence without providing comprehensive education about healthy relationships or disease prevention. Schools varied widely in the quality of sexual health education they offered, leaving many young people without accurate or culturally relevant information.For Black and Brown women, these gaps are often compounded by systemic inequities, healthcare disparities, and historical mistrust of medical institutions.The result is not just a lack of information—it is a cycle of silence that can influence generations.HIV Is More Than a Medical DiagnosisAlthough tremendous advances have been made in HIV prevention and treatment, stigma continues to be one of the greatest barriers to education, testing, and care.Too often, HIV conversations are framed around fear rather than facts.People living with HIV continue to face judgment, isolation, and misinformation despite decades of scientific progress. These stigmas discourage individuals from seeking testing, discussing their concerns openly, or accessing life-saving healthcare.When shame becomes stronger than education, everyone loses.Why Black and Brown Women Need Culturally Responsive EducationHealth education is most effective when people can see themselves reflected in the conversation.Black and Brown women deserve educational spaces that recognize the realities of culture, family expectations, faith traditions, historical trauma, gender dynamics, and healthcare inequities. Conversations about HIV should never exist in isolation from these broader experiences.Culturally responsive education recognizes that prevention is not simply about information—it is also about trust, representation, communication, and empowerment.When communities feel seen and respected, people are more likely to engage with healthcare, ask questions, seek testing, and advocate for themselves.The Role of FaithFaith has long served as a source of resilience, hope, and healing within Black communities.At the same time, many faith communities continue to wrestle with how to discuss sexuality in ways that are compassionate, truthful, and rooted in both spiritual values and public health.Faith and education do not have to compete.Churches, ministries, and faith leaders have tremendous opportunities to become places where conversations about HIV, healthy relationships, mental health, and wellness can occur without shame or condemnation.Breaking the silence does not weaken faith—it strengthens communities.The Role of Social WorkersAs future and current helping professionals, social workers occupy a unique position in addressing HIV stigma and improving health equity.Our responsibility extends beyond providing resources.We educate.We advocate.We challenge stigma.We promote culturally responsive care.We empower individuals to make informed decisions while respecting their values, identities, and lived experiences.Whether working in schools, hospitals, community organizations, mental health settings, or public health, social workers help bridge the gap between education and access.Healing Begins with Honest ConversationsBreaking cycles of silence starts with a single conversation.Families can begin asking questions without judgment.Schools can provide accurate, inclusive education.Healthcare providers can practice culturally humble care.Faith communities can create spaces where compassion replaces shame.Communities can normalize HIV testing, encourage preventive care, and support those living with HIV with dignity rather than stigma.Education is not about encouraging risky behavior.Education equips people to make informed, healthier decisions.Reflection QuestionsTake a moment to reflect on these questions:* How was sexual health discussed in your family or community?* What messages about HIV did you receive growing up?* How has culture influenced the way you think about sexuality?* What role should faith communities, schools, families, and social workers play in breaking the silence?* What conversations are we still afraid to have?Final ThoughtsSilence has shaped generations of conversations about HIV and sexual health—but it doesn't have to shape the next generation.By replacing fear with knowledge, stigma with compassion, and silence with honest dialogue, we create healthier families, stronger communities, and more equitable health outcomes.Healing begins when we choose conversation over silence.Together, we can create communities where education is accessible, questions are welcomed, and every person has the knowledge they need to protect their health and support the health of others.About This PresentationThis article is based on “The Hidden Cost of HIV Silence for Black and Brown Women,” a TEDx-inspired educational presentation by Aiysha Ansah exploring the intersection of HIV awareness, cultural silence, faith, public health, and social work.Disclaimer: This presentation is TEDx-inspired and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by TED or TEDx.

National Commissioner for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children and Young People, Sue-Anne Hunter, opened the Garma Education Forum with a keynote speech on day one of the festival.

On this Iron Sights episode recorded live on the vendor floor at TTPOA Conference, Scott Howell sits down for a collab with the TTPOA Podcast hosts Brandon Hernandez and Matt Smith. Their guests are Brad Ortiz, Director of Sales for the Law Enforcement Division at Silencer Shop and former officer, and Dewayne Manson, Project Manager at the American Warrior Association, to dig into the thing the Law Enforcement community has been slow to confront: the compounding weight of moral injury, and why the reactive system built to support officers is failing the people who need it most.The conversation goes deep on what moral injury actually is, how it differs from PTSD, and why the officer who has never been in a critical incident can be just as broken as the one who has. Brad and Dewayne walk through what a culturally competent clinician actually looks like, why baseline brain and blood health mapping belongs in the academy, and how the American Warrior Association's R3 program is embedding proactive resilience training directly into TTPOA's regional structure, the first partnership of its kind nationally.But this episode isn't just about mental health. It's about identity. What happens to the guy who IS the job when the job ends? Brad gets personal about his own struggles stepping away from full-time law enforcement, Dewayne shares the moment his teenage son had to pick him up after a DUI, and Scott connects it all to the broader truth that your calling and your identity are not the same thing, and that confusing the two is costing officers their health, their relationships, and sometimes their lives before and after retirement.The back half gets into the business world and how everything these men learned going through doors, managing teams, and serving their communities translates directly into relationship-based sales, leadership under pressure, and building something that outlasts the badge. If you've ever told yourself you're not capable of anything outside law enforcement, this one is going to challenge that story hard.In this episode:• Moral injury is NOT PTSD: it is the cumulative damage caused when you perpetrate something, fail to prevent something, or are ordered to act against your moral compass, and it compounds silently over an entire career without a single critical incident ever being the trigger• Culturally competent clinicians are practitioners who have lived the lifestyle or are married to someone who has: Dewayne walked out of his first VA appointment when the counselor opened with pronouns, then found a female therapist married to a 20-year infantry veteran and experienced a completely different outcome• The American Warrior Association's R3 program is building proactive resilience frameworks inside agencies, including regional resiliency coordinators, vetted clinician networks, and fully funded Warriors Refuge retreats where flights and lodging are free to eligible officers and spouses• Brad Ortiz's Sound Off program at Silencer Shop donates $2 per purchase to a vetted nonprofit fund, and every individual officer purchase routes through silencershop.com where buyers work directly with Brad and Chris• The inflection point analogy: moral injury deposits are made silently every shift, just like compounding interest, and what looks like a single critical incident blowing up is actually the hockey-stick moment on a years-long accumulation nobody was tracking• Social media pile-ons after a justified OIS caused Brad more lasting moral injury than the shooting itself, a blind spot no clinician or debrief ever addressed until he found the right cultural fit in counseling• Baseline blood panels and brain mapping done at the academy level would give officers a before-and-after reference for physiological change across a career: the greater endocrine system and brain health are being completely ignored while TRT gets all the attention• The law enforcement skill set transfers directly into business leadership: problem-solving under pressure, decision-making without perfect information, ownership of mistakes, and relationship-first sales are all things operators have already built on the job, they just don't recognize it as a resumeChapters:0:39 Iron Sights mission statement and welcome2:02 Introducing Brad Ortiz and Dewayne Manson2:49 Brad's background: The Uncommon Line podcast9:40 American Warrior Association programs overview11:43 Resilience training inside TTPOA: the first of its kind12:08 What moral injury actually is and why it's not PTSD14:20 Culturally competent clinicians: Dewayne's personal story31:52 Compounding critical incidents over a career38:37 Social media pile-ons as a hidden source of moral injury44:55 Identity vs. calling: challenging how officers define themselves1:12:18 Relationship-first sales, legacy brands losing ground, and the business parallel1:21:46 How to access AWA, R3, and SoundOff resourcesMentioned:Brad Ortiz — Director of Sales for the Law Enforcement Division at Silencer Shop, former law enforcement officer and fugitive investigator, and former host of The Uncommon Line podcast, joined as a guest to discuss the SoundOff program and the AWA partnership.Dewayne Manson — Representative of the American Warrior Association, infantry veteran who served in Afghanistan and contracted there through 2020, shared his personal journey through moral injury and recovery as context for AWA's R3 program.Matt Smith — Co-host of the TTPOA podcast with 21 years on SWAT, co-hosted this live conference episode alongside Scott Howell and competed in the TTPOA shooting competition the day prior.Brandon Hernandez — Region 7 Director and Director of Training for TTPOA, co-host of the TTPOA podcast, referred to on air as the celebrity of the group when a passerby stopped to greet him.Anna Heil — Associated with the American Warrior Association, attended a TTPOA show in St. Louis and briefed other state organizations on the AWA partnership afterward.Chris — Works alongside Brad Ortiz at Silencer Shop on the SoundOff individual officer program, mentioned as a direct point of contact buyers will reach at soundsoftshop.com.Neil Noakes — Former Chief of Police of the Fort Worth Police Department, cited as an example of a career officer who, when asked how many critical incidents he had been on, simply said he had lost count.Simon Sinek — Author and speaker known for the concept of finding your 'why,' referenced when Brad Ortiz challenged every officer in the room to examine the deeper reason behind their career and identity.

As brands try to make their campaign dollars stretch farther, they're looking to culturally resonant marketing that creates engagement—comments, likes and shares—and results in sales gains. Calvin Klein's Spring 2026 campaign with actress Dakota Johnson is an example of how the clothing brand is using content to 'game the algorithm,' according to Jonathan Bottomley, global chief marketing officer of Calvin Klein and executive VP, group consumer and brand strategy at parent company PVH Corp. Not only did the provocative campaign attract 26 million views on Instagram, but it also helped create a single-digit increase in women's underwear sales and a double-digit increase in women's denim sales, Bottomley said, noting that 30% of Calvin Klein's audience is actively engaged on Instagram. By cultivating such engagement on social media, the brand is building a sense of virality, he said. On the podcast, Bottomley also discusses the role of community and product-led marketing, as well as how Calvin Klein is evolving its brand messaging to connect with Gen Z consumers.

For leaders who can feel the landscape shifting, yet sense they have reached an invisible ceiling and are ready to engage from a fully unified system instead of only their mind. Celinne didn't schedule this conversation. She dreamt it — woke up knowing she and Leanne needed to talk, and the two of them tuned in to what wanted to be shared and when. Leanne is an Archeologist of the Soul and New Earth Architect, one of Celinne's mentors who has supported her embodiment, effectively enabling her to live a life aligned with her soul. Her path of remembrance was realised through the Andean and Amazon Shamanic traditions after years of living deep in the African wilderness with nature as her primary teacher. Over the last two decades Leanne has guided thousands through soul embodiment and this is her third appearance on the show. Her read on this moment is that humanity crossed a threshold in early June 2026 and our evolutionary trajectory as a species accelerated by about a hundred percent. What's being asked of us now is to close the gap between soul and physicality — which is why so many capable people are losing jobs, ending relationships, and relocating across the planet without being able to explain their decision. In this conversation, Leanne and Celinne explore what embodiment means once you strip the word of its fluff: the earth team of physical, mental, and emotional bodies learning to follow the soul's lead. You'll hear why the body is the barometer of the soul, how discernment sharpens once those bodies come into coherence, and what New Earth leadership looks like when a business is built as a torus instead of a pyramid. ON THIS EPISODE: 02:04 Meet Leanne Edwards and the accelerated evolution she says began in early June 2026 05:56 Understand the earth team — physical, mental, emotional bodies, and who's meant to be driving 08:44 Trace how early imprint and inherited story keep the soul from fully landing in the body 16:53 Learn why the body is the barometer of the soul, and what issues in our tissues are telling us 27:00 Hear what keeps aware, intelligent people on the hamster wheel long after they've seen it 39:47 Discover why all beliefs are limiting, and what opens when you drop the filters 52:23 Explore discernment as a superpower, and how to audit everything you ingest 1:08:41 Reframe the planet as source rather than resource, and what that changes about how you build 1:31:25 Listen to how the soul escalates its invitations when we keep ignoring them KEY IDEAS: ✨ Your bodies are a team that the Soul leads: Leanne's framing is that there's no hierarchy between the physical, mental, and emotional bodies — they require coherence, and are here to follow the leadership of the soul rather than the programming from an outdated education system, societal programming, cultural conditioning, and dysfunctional family dynamics. ✨ The body is the barometer of the soul: Discomfort, dis-ease, and illness often point to memory of past trauma or suppressed emotions that have been stored in our biological blueprint that are still informing the present. Our past informs the present until it is resolved, it literally keeps underwriting the present, and the loop repeats in personal and professional relationships alike until distortion is brought to coherence, ✨ Embodiment enables Discernment As the bodies come into coherence, intuition amplifies and so does the capacity to tell truth from noise. Celinne describes feeling the carrier wave under someone's words, the way a musician hears a note go slightly off key. ✨ The planet is source, not resource: Leanne's reframe changes the architecture of how we build. New Earth business runs as a torus rather than a pyramid, regenerative for everyone involved, and every decision gets tested against one question: is my action conducive to life? RESOURCES: Leanne resides in the Great Mystery, for from the not-knowing we may access the all-knowing. Culturally fluid from many decades walking this earth on the fringes of the main-stream-matrix, while her Red Road path of remembrance was of the Andean and Amazon traditions it was a years of living deep in the African wilderness that awoke her Shamanic Soul into what has evolved into a life of service to our planet and humanity, specializing in Embodiment and Evolution. As an Archeologist of the Soul and New Earth Architect, Leanne's clarity of vision and innate capacity to see in the dark (unconscious) has supported 1000's through the journey of Soul embodiment (HomoLuminous) into self-sourcing-sovereignty and actualization of their AVATAR (HomoGalacticus), restoring an individual's innate technology as a strong and secure multidimensional pillar of our New Earth.

The original Supergirl debuted in DC Comics' Action Comics #252 in May 1959, the very first live-action adaptation, the feature film Supergirl, starring Helen Slater, was released in theaters in 1984 which saw Kara, superman's cousin from Krypton who goes to earth herself in order to recover the lost Omega Hedron which is a power source for the planet .............. so its been a while for a live-action take of the Madain of might you might say. Over the decades there have been various uses of Supergirl, most notably the CW take on the character when they were doing ALL those Arrowverse shows at the time, where Melissa Benoist starred as Kara Danvers (Kara Zor-El) in the hit superhero television series Supergirl, which aired on The CW from 2016 to 2021 Now HERE WE ARE coming off the heels of SUPERMAN 2025, and we have the second film from DC Studios, certainly and 'interesting' choice for your second film out of the gate (as some people thought), Nah I'm sorry gang THAT title still belongs to DC's next film CLAYFACE, gee a BATMAN villian solo film with (as far as WE know) NOT a BATMAN in sight, that sounds vaguely familiar .................. but hey we will get to THAT in October  SUPERMAN 2025 felt %100 percent like it was ripped right from the pages of the comic book, but it was EXACTLY a return to the core to what SUPERMAN is, and the point of SUPERMAN, and (most importantly), the reliability of SUPERMAN, which lets be HONEST has not really been struck on the BIG SCREEN since Christopher Reeve, looking back on it through the lens of our cinematic movie year 2026, history was written LOL LOL LOL LOL hahahahahaha the DC brand had begun its collective healing. Course WE would assume ALL is well then going from here On the latest episode of Injustice vs Elesworlds Podcasters of BOTH Worlds, your hosts David Senden and Kyle Wagner talk SUPERGIRL 2026, the GOOD, the BAD, the DISCOURSE of it ALL, and hey THAT got terribly TRAGICALLY overblown, regardless of what thoughts are on the film itself, or its OVERALL impact of the budding DC universe there if only ONE rule ....................... THERE WILL BE NO MILLY ALCOCK SLANDER !!!!!!!!!!!!! Movies. Movies are a beautiful Blink SNAP shot Moment in Time Assessment of where we are culturally, and its TRAGICALLY sad THAT Supergirl is a cautionary tale of that, THAT shouldn't be the case AT ALL A new Injustice vs Elesworlds Podcasters of BOTH Worlds starts RIGHT NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

LW1514 - Where You Draw the Line We are fast approaching that point where each of us need to draw the line about our involvement with AI and photography. Come to think of it, we may have already passed the line, at least for some of us. At what point do you call an AI generated image a fake? At what point does the involvement of AI mean the image is no longer artwork? No longer photography, no longer yours? What amount of AI are you willing to accept as you create your work? Culturally we are struggling with these issues, but individually we can make immediate decisions for ourselves about where we want to draw the line for our work All previous episodes of our weekly podcast are available to members of LensWork Online. 30-day Trial Memberships are only $10.

The Southern Sierra is the quieter, less-traveled tail end of California's Sierra Nevada range — running from Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks down through the Kern River drainage to where the range finally peters out into the Tehachapi Mountains. It's a land of dense pine forests, hidden granite formations, deep river canyons, and small mountain towns like Kernville, Springville, and Porterville tucked into its foothills.For climbers, this region is a genuine treasure trove that remains largely under the radar. The Needles are the crown jewel — a cluster of striking granite spires rising out of pine forest above the Kern River, home to some of the finest crack climbing in California. Dome Rock offers accessible multi-pitch classics. Deeper into the range you find places like The Fin at Castle Rock, Homer's Nose, Hermit Spire, and countless other obscure formations that have been quietly developed over decades by small groups of locals. The rock is high-quality granite, often steep, often demanding, and almost always uncrowded.Culturally, the Southern Sierra has always attracted a specific kind of climber — someone drawn to first ascents, comfortable with long approaches, willing to work for solitude, and less interested in the spray culture of more famous destinations. The area saw a renaissance in the late 1970s and early 1980s when climbers from Los Angeles started making pilgrimages up to Kernville and Porterville, discovering that the Needles and surrounding formations offered climbing that rivaled anything in Yosemite — just without the crowds. Patrick Paul found himself right in the middle of this renaissance and became a pioneer in his own right, establishing 54 first ascents across the Southern Sierra over his 50 year career.In this conversation we go back to Patrick's tumultuous upbringing and how a single trip to Joshua Tree became the catalyst for an entire life pivot — one he's convinced saved his life. We dig into stories from his years on the rock, including run-ins with icons like Randy Leavitt, Lynn Hill, and Fred Beckey, and several close calls: an earthquake mid-approach, expanding flakes on Homer's Nose, and a moment when his main partner Richard Leversee saved Patrick from certain death when Patrick leaned back away from an anchor without being tied in.#livinglegend #firstascentsHelp Support The Show & Unlock The Ad-Free PodcastResourcesSome of Patrick's stories can be found in this book:Patrick's Facebook

Every year, 200,000 veterans leave the military and more than half can't get hired. But this isn't just a veteran story. It's a story about everyone whose talent the system was never built to see.AETHEON co-founders Marie Gill and Gina Jeneroux join Ashish Kothari to unpack one powerful idea: we don't have a talent problem, we have a problem translating real human experience into language employers can recognize. Across veterans, women returning to work, caregivers, and students, there is no shortage of capability. What's missing is the ability to see it, articulate it, and validate it.They explore why skills are the new currency of work, why the language women use on resumes quietly costs them interviews, how real-world skills validation beats keyword-screening, and the audacious idea that could change how every company makes workforce decisions: putting human capital on the balance sheet.What You Will Learn:People in transition don't need more talent. They need translation: a way to turn what they've lived into language the world can recognize and value.Veterans' skills are real. The hiring system just has no language for them.Skills without context are just labels. Proficiency level, recency, and complexity are what turn a skill into a signal employers can act on.Cutting people to fund AI often destroys more value than it saves. The 90% left behind only need to drop 1% in productivity to wipe out the gain.People appear on the income statement as a cost. Never on the balance sheet as an asset. Until that changes, they'll keep being the first thing cut.Students can now graduate with a skills transcript, not just a degree. Every experience, from babysitting to campus leadership, becomes a named, validated asset.Episode Chapters:0:00— Why military experience is often misunderstood in hiring0:22— Veterans transition out with real talent, but the market doesn't see it0:54— The “jump master in the army” example1:09— Many people don't have the language to explain their skills1:30— Translating experience into a form employers can understand2:05— Life experiences shouldn't be left off resumes or LinkedIn3:04— Leaning into what people enjoy and celebrate about themselves13:33— Women often downplay their abilities on resumes and LinkedIn14:02— Culturally, women are expected to fit a certain mold, and when they don't, people don't know how to read their value49:12— Life experiences must be captured and promoted to tell the story of skills and proficiencyResources:Connect with the GuestsLinkedIn: Marie GillLinkedIn: Gina JenerouxRecommended viewing: Aetheon The skills operating system for the future of workConnect with the HostLinkedIn: Ashish KothariWebsite: Happiness SquadBook: Hardwired For HappinessYouTube: Happiness Squad ChannelIf this conversation sparked something for you, please subscribe and leave a review, it takes 30 seconds and helps more people discover the show.

The world changed abruptly in the early 1990s when the Soviet Union collapsed seemingly overnight, and the American Empire moved into a new era of dominance. Culturally, the music was fantastic, and things were good, but starting to change for the worse with the push of gangster rap, the emergence of global terrorism, and the deregulation of industries. The Gulf War kicked off during the first days of 1991 and has never stopped. George H.W. Bush wrapped up loose ends with the murder of Danny Cassolero by his Enterprise group, then ignored the ending of the Franklin Scandal he helped to create in order to take out Reagan.---Macroaggressionswww.Macroaggressions.ioMerch StoreLink Tree Video ChannelsRumble | YouTube | BrighteonActivist PostNewsletter Sign UpAudiobooksHypocrazyThe Octopus of Global ControlSupport Our SponsorsReplace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.comGround Luxe Grounding MatsC60 Power | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & SilverLegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comChristian Yordanov's Health ProgramThe Dollar VigilanteNesa's Hemp | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms

Isaiah 30:17 uses the imagery of a banner on a hill to describe visibility, identity, and the reality that what is lifted up becomes a symbol others recognize and respond to. In this devotional, Lynette Kittle reflects on the meaning of the American flag as a national symbol and explores how honoring it connects to gratitude for freedom, sacrifice, and heritage. She emphasizes the flag not just as fabric, but as a representation of unity, history, and the values a nation seeks to uphold. Highlights Isaiah 30:17 uses “banner” imagery to represent identity and visibility. The American flag is presented as a symbol of freedom and national unity. Flags historically represent leadership, belonging, and shared values. The U.S. flag reflects the history and sacrifices tied to national freedom. Symbols can serve as reminders of heritage and collective responsibility. Gratitude for freedom can lead to reflection on God’s providence. National symbols often carry emotional and cultural significance. Honoring heritage can encourage unity and respect within a nation.

Full Transcript Below: Why Honoring Our Flag Pleases God By Lynette Kittle Bible Reading: “A thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will all flee away, till you are left like a flagstaff on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill.” - Isaiah 30:17 Individuals and groups have stomped on it, carried it upside down, cut it up, and burned it, yet our nation’s flag keeps on flying and representing to many around the world, even if not to some in the United States, a sign of hope and true freedom. On this 250th Anniversary of the birth of our nation, our American flag is a worldwide symbol of freedom on this earth. Hands down, it is considered the most recognizable flag in the world as a symbol of freedom. When we honor our flag, remembering its history of how God led Christians to establish it, we honor God, because He is accredited with the birth of our nation. “Of course, it’s just a symbol,” notes Dr. Jerry Newcombe, Executive Director of Providence Forum, “but it’s a powerful one. To me, it represents the American story - self-rule under God.” Many who disrespect and spit on our flag do so because they hate the history ascribed to it and our nation’s long-held slogan of being “one nation under God.” Newcombe believes we should honor our flag because it honors God and our country. “A lot of blood was shed defending that flag,” he explains, “and it represents the freedom we enjoy.” Flag Day, celebrated each June 14th, commemorates the day our Continental Congress adopted the original American flag in 1777, made official in 1916 by President Woodrow Wilson. Growing up, many of us in the United States memorized and recited The Pledge of Allegiance, a pledge “written by a Baptist minister in the 1890s, with the ‘under God’ phrase added in the 1950s,” notes Newcombe. The Purpose of Flags Used primarily throughout history in warfare to announce battles and identify troops, national flags still play a role in distinguishing friend from foe. Culturally, the flag symbolizes power and leadership, carried during military processions and announcing dignitaries. They represent the people and beliefs behind them, of the hands that hold and carry them, and the buildings where they are flown. Flags also serve to draw together and rally people for unified causes, flown to signal, decorate, and display in parades and at events. As well, flags declare ownership, borders, and jurisdiction in homelands and foreign lands. Nations around the globe use them to communicate to the masses the loss of leaders and the mourning of national tragedies and disasters. The United States flag drapes the caskets of our fallen military heroes and veterans when they are being transported from the combat zones to home and at their funerals. The Meaning Displayed in America’s Flag America’s flag has 13 red and white stripes, each representing the original 13 colonies that began our nation, along with 50 white stars set on a blue background representing our current 50 states. There is significant meaning within the American flag’s design, as the Founder of Providence Forum, Dr. Peter Lillback notes. Each color displayed on the American flag has a definite meaning, with red standing for hardiness and valor; white for purity and innocence, and blue for perseverance, justice, and vigilance. Unlike some believe, even though Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag, the design is accredited to one of the original signers of the Declaration of Independence, Francis Hopkinson. Our American Flag Stirs Hearts Our American flag is a vital piece of America’s history, representing freedom for all, known to stir the hearts of its patriotic citizens. It’s a symbol that has inspired our nation through many troubles and conflicts, standing for life, liberty, justice, and freedom for all. In honoring it, we please God by recognizing the godly heritage it represents throughout the history of our nation and the world.

Despite many positive developments in the second Trump administration, a tsunami of pressing issues threatens to destabilize America. Due to unsustainable government debt and the Iran war, much of the world is turning away from the dollar, increasing the risk of massive inflation. In the political realm, many are losing interest in the two-party system, as RINOs refuse to ensure fair elections in the future by passing the SAVE Act. Culturally, pornography and drugs are eroding the potential for our young people to carry on meaningful lives, and 43% of those 35 and under say they don't plan to get married or have children. It is time to honestly assess these threats and more in order to survive and thrive in the coming collapse.

For this episode, we are joined by Dr Shingisai Chando, a published academic and Research Fellow of the POCHE Indigenous Health Centre at the University of Sydney to unpack the question: what does it mean for healthcare systems to be culturally safe? A big question, but one Shingisai tackles with detail and depth. Dr Chando talks to us about how cultural competence changes in different health contexts and across different communities but emphasises the underlying issues of racism in the workplace, as well as the importance of trust, belonging, and true community engagement to build trust.

For this episode, we are joined by Dr Shingisai Chando, a published academic and Research Fellow of the POCHE Indigenous Health Centre at the University of Sydney to unpack the question: what does it mean for healthcare systems to be culturally safe? A big question, but one Shingisai tackles with detail and depth. Dr Chando talks to us about how cultural competence changes in different health contexts and across different communities but emphasises the underlying issues of racism in the workplace, as well as the importance of trust, belonging, and true community engagement to build trust. Produced by: Adubi Plange, Dr Amy McHugh, Sarah Mashman Podcast Artwork: Zein Arif Resources: Below are some of Shingisai's academic works related to this episode of the Cultural Competence Collective: Article: Chando, S., Howell, M., Dickson, M., Jaure, A., Craig, J., Eades, S., Howard, K.

On this episode of LMC Cast: Community Profiles, we spotlight a group of dedicated students from Mamaroneck High School's OCRA program who are making a meaningful impact right here in our community.Working alongside local schools and community partners, these students are helping grow and donate culturally appropriate produce to the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Hunger Task Force. By surveying families who rely on the pantry, they ensure the food being grown reflects the cultural traditions, preferences, and real needs of those they serve.Their work goes beyond gardening. It is about dignity, inclusion, and rethinking how we support food insecure families in a more thoughtful and respectful way.Tune in to hear how these students are turning research, advocacy, and community collaboration into real change.Learn more about the OCRA program here: sites.google.com/mamkschools.org/ocraLearn more about the Hunger Task Force here: https://www.lmfoodpantry.org/Like us on Facebook & Instagram: @lmcmediacenterVisit LMC media website: http://lmcmedia.org/

Financial control and stress often live in the nervous system, not the spreadsheet. If you feel pressure even when the numbers are solid, this isn't a discipline issue. It may be identity-level attachment between worth, safety, and control.Financial control doesn't begin in your bank account. It begins in your nervous system.In this episode, we explore why stress around money can persist even when income is stable, reserves are strong, and strategy is sound. If you're a high achiever who carries responsibility and rarely drops the ball, you may not be afraid of being poor. You may be afraid of losing credibility, safety, or identity.This conversation lives in the Reclamation stage of the Identity-Level Recalibration pathway. Reclamation is not about tearing down ambition or abandoning excellence. It is about separating who you are from the roles you built to survive.We examine:• How predictive processing causes the brain to forecast financial threat• Why financial control can feel regulating in the body• The concept of identity load, where wealth and worth begin to blur• How control can subtly become moral positioning in leadership or marriage• Why stewardship is not the same thing as controlFor many high performers, financial steadiness became tied to authority. Authority became tied to belonging. Over time, success becomes fused with safety.That is not greed.It is attachment.This episode gently surfaces a layer few leaders articulate: sometimes financial control feels more predictable than relationships. Money responds to strategy and effort. People do not always do the same. When trust has felt expensive in the past, control can feel stabilizing.But stabilization is not the same as identity.Culturally, we celebrate the disciplined, self-made builder. Scripture in Matthew 6 invites a deeper orientation: where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Not as condemnation, but as alignment. Not to shame building, but to examine what regulates us.This episode is not about shrinking ambition. It is about softening survival attachment.Today's Micro Recalibration:When you think about money, does your body soften or brace?If the numbers changed tomorrow, what would you believe about yourself?No fixing.

The retirement mindset mentor George Jerjian explains how a second chance at life inspires him to help coach people into retirement. When George Jerjian was 52 years old, he was diagnosed with a bone tumor and given six months to live. For three weeks, he believed that was it. Then he was told he belonged to what he calls “the 2% club.” The cancer hadn't spread. He would live. That experience didn't just save his life. It reframed it. “Too often we just drift,” George said. “Even in retirement, we drift.” That word — drift — captures something many retirees feel but rarely articulate. For decades, retirement is the goal. You save. You invest. You plan. You finally reach the day when work stops. But then what? The Retirement Mirage George calls it the “retirement mirage.” Culturally, we've been sold an image: golf, travel, grandchildren, freedom from responsibility. And for a season, those things can be wonderful. But George challenges that assumption directly: “If you retire at 65, you could last till 90 and beyond these days… but what people don't realize is that no matter how much money they've saved, longevity has kind of wrecked the retirement equation.” Retirement used to be short. Now it can last 20, 25, even 30 years. That's not a vacation. That's a life stage. In the Retire Today framework, we talk about SPEND, MAKE, KEEP, INVEST, and LEAVE. But underneath all five steps is identity. Who are you when the title on your business card disappears? George put his experience plainly: “When you retire, who am I now? I'm a nobody. I'm useless.” That identity vacuum is where drifting begins. From Bucket List to Purpose George doesn't dismiss the bucket list. He just reframes it. “Don't delay that. Get on to that. Do the stuff you want to do. Because once you're satiated, you'll start looking for something more meaningful to do.” Travel. Play golf. Visit family. Do the things you've postponed. But don't confuse activity with purpose. Retirement, he argues, is a rite of passage. A hero's journey. He references Joseph Campbell's idea that “the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” In other words, the discomfort you avoid may contain the growth you need. That's why one of the first exercises George gives clients is confronting mortality: “On your deathbed, what is it you haven't yet done that you always wanted to do?” It's uncomfortable. But clarity often lives on the other side of discomfort. The D.A.R.E. Method To guide retirees through this transition, George created the D.A.R.E. method: Discover – Understand what retirement truly is (and what it isn't).Assimilate – Learn how your mind works. Shift from a fixed mindset (“I can't do this”) to a growth mindset (“I can't do this yet”).Rewire – Build new habits through repetition. The subconscious mind thrives on stability and patterns.Expand – Step into growth rather than contraction. That last one is particularly interesting. Traditionally, retirement advice has focused on shrinking. Reduce risk. Cut expenses. Preserve capital. Prepare for decline. George pushes back: “With 20 years to go, this is not the time to settle in safe investments… your life has to match your investments.” He isn't dismissing prudent planning. But he is challenging the mindset of slow fade. Retirement, in his view, is not about “drifting into oblivion.” It's about repurposing. Joy vs. Happiness Another distinction George made is between happiness and joy. “Happiness is ephemeral… it comes and goes. But joy is something you can still have even if you're going through challenging times.” Retirement won't remove hardship. Health issues, family stress, and loss still occur. But joy — rooted in gratitude and meaning — can persist. “If you're not thankful, you're not thinking,” he said, connecting gratitude to awareness. Gratitude expands possibility. Resentment contracts it. From Retirement to Repurpose Perhaps the most powerful shift in the conversation came near the end: Move from the retirement mirage → to retirement meaning → to retirement repurpose. Financial planning gives you options. But mindset determines whether you use them well. You can save diligently and still drift. Or you can treat retirement as what it truly is: not an ending, but a new beginning. And that beginning requires courage. Because if you don't choose who you'll become in retirement, drift may choose for you. Don't forget to leave a rating for the “Retire Today” podcast if you've been enjoying these episodes!

I truly enjoyed my conversation with Naveen.Even with  all of his accomplishments, he's very humble and unassuming. When speaking about his mother, he fondly recalls stories of how his mother ran their household. Don't forget, at this time in India, women did not work. Their role was to make sure the home was well kept  with generations of family members all living under one roof. Naveen's father was a Senior Officer in the Royal Service and it was an arranged marriage that brought the couple together. Jayalakshmi  was an exceptionally talented writer of short stories and novels. Her first priority was at home taking care of the family. She never sat around. She carried a clip board around with her and wrote down her most cherished thoughts. On a daily basis, she kept all the financial records/household accounts of how much money was spent each day. She stayed up late every night to write in two different India languages.   Naveen learned from his maternal grandmother that his mother, the first of eight children dropped out of school after sixth grade because she wanted to get married and settled down. Culturally that was accepted and the norm for the most part.My guest, the youngest  of four children, had two sisters and one brother. As he says now, "I'm the last man standing." He grew up among elders including his aunt and uncle and his cousin all together in one household. Naveen shares three very touching stories about his mother including how and when she started her writing, her professional connections and her public recognition as a highly revered author.  Again, in India, this is unheard of and she did this without fanfare or calling attention to herself.Naveen's mom, didn't have much of a sense of humor according to her son. She was very practical and a no nonsense kind of woman yet happy with her life.To find out more about my guest you can use the link below. This event is scheduled for August 28, 2022.  https://thewashingtonmail.com/win-free-books/Books Naveen has written:A Hittite and a Shaman: At Queen Nefertari's Secret ServiceStarlight in the Dawn: The Poetic Priestess who chose to fightCandlelight in a Storm: Born to Be a Berliner"Candlelight In A Storm-Born To Be A Berliner" a biography of Naveen's wife who fled from WWII's violence, escaped from Communist regimes and traveled around the world. He is the recipient of the 2018 DaVinci Eye Finalist-The Eric Hoffer Award.  “Courageous and resilient women in history: Women are under-represented in history. A closer look and even fantasy in fiction may help," say Sradhir.My guest has written several books about women who have overcome difficulties, oppression and more. Mr. Sridhar continues " women ,famous or not,  who show their grit by way of resilience, adamance and courage, these women are quiet and not talked about, their stories untold. Instead of HIS-tory maybe it should be HER-story."Naveen Sridhar's website:   https://www.naveensridhar.com/Languages Naveen Speaks: English, German, Hindi, French, Kannada, Spanish, Tamil, Urdu   "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

All of us are daily swimming in multiple cultures. Culture, broadly defined, is the stories we tell and the way we interpret the world around us. But, because we believe in one story and one reality, Christians must be able to engage the cultures around us with the ultimate aim of inviting people into God's Story. We see an example in the apostle Paul as he witnesses to the resurrected Jesus in Acts 17:16-34 and models how we can invite others to know him.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (02/04/26), Hank interviews Dick Staub on his book, The Culturally Savvy Christian.

Sissy and David unpack five things kids need culturally right now: conversation (parents as the calm, safe first source), protection in the real world (body-safety skills and wise supervision), online protection (tools + ongoing check-ins), critical thinking (helping kids evaluate what they see and hear), and a spiritual foundation (identity, hope, and guidance). Their main point: culture will shape kids—but intentional parents can shape them more.

Representation in nurse anesthesia is about access, excellence, and belonging. It's the responsibility of every CRNA to help shape the future of the profession in a way that affords opportunity and access to anyone who wants to pursue that goal. In this episode, hosts Nicolas and Kelsey are joined by two influential leaders in nurse anesthesia advocacy, Lena Gould, EdD, CRNA, FADLN, FAANA, FAAN and Vincent Ford, DNAP, CRNA, to talk candidly about diversity, mentorship, and responsibility. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

In a culture that celebrates busyness, rest can feel almost impossible. In this episode, we explore the ancient and life-giving practice of Sabbath and why it matters now more than ever for our marriages and families. What did God intend the Sabbath to be—a rule to follow or a gift to receive? Through Scripture, practical wisdom, and real-life counseling insights, we unpack how rhythms of rest renew our emotional, spiritual, and relational health. You'll hear practical ways couples and families can begin reclaiming Sabbath together, even in the middle of busy and unpredictable schedules, and why choosing rest may be one of the most meaningful investments you can make in your home.   Episode Highlights: Rest is a rhythm and a gift. Rest shouldn't be legalistic, it's an invitation.  Taking a sabbath has physical and spiritual benefits.  Avoiding the sabbath can lead to spiritual dryness. Culturally we are so distratcted and overly engaged; and it's not what we were designed for.    Quotes from this episode: Man was not made for the Sabbath, the Sabbath was made for man. It's a gift. The Sabbath wasn't made to restrict us; it was made to refresh us. When we're tired, we don't choose our battles well. The sabbath reminds me who's really in charge. As Christians sometimes we feel like the busier we are for God, the more we are being faithful- That's a lie. Celebrating Sabbath looks different for everyone. Choose what brings you and your family closer to God. Rest is not lazy. It's not about not doing anything, it's about doing things differently. If you're exhausted, you can't pour love, patience, or joy into your family. Rest is essential for healthy relationships. You can't just hope for Sabbath rest—be intentional, make a plan, put it on the calendar, and protect that time.   Questions to Start the Conversation: How does busyness currently show up in our marriage and family life, and what has it cost us emotionally, spiritually, or relationally? What would a life-giving Sabbath look like for us in this season—what would we need to stop, start, or protect in order to experience true rest together? What is one practical step we can take this week to begin building a rhythm of rest that honors God and strengthens our connection as a couple?   Mentioned in this Episode: Awesome Marriage is on Instagram!

AUSTRALIA'S EXTREME HEATWAVE AND THE SOLAR PANEL REVOLUTION Colleague Jeremy Zakis. Zakis reports on Australia's extreme weather, describing a heatwave moving east with temperatures exceeding 110°F, exacerbated by winds acting like a "fan-forced oven." He warns that recent rains fueled vegetation growth that will quickly dry into kindling, creating a "tinderbox" risk for wildfires within a week. Culturally, Zakis notes Australians no longer "tough out" the heat; instead, they use air conditioning early, supported by a "solar panel revolution." This widespread solar adoption has reduced pressure on the electrical grid, eliminating the need for public service announcements urging power conservation during these heat spikes.

PREVIEW: Joseph Sternberg cautions that American conservatives often mistakenly view the United Kingdom as culturally similar to the US, despite its "European" attitudes toward regulation and welfare. He argues that Britain's post-Brexit difficulties have likely deterred other European nations from leaving the European Union.

Send us a textA culture that actually protects first responders doesn't happen by accident—it's built on day-one expectations, family inclusion, and leaders who tell the truth even when the news is hard. We sit down with Doug Wyman to map what real organizational wellness looks like and why “Inside the Box” has become a powerful framework for shifting identity, policy, and practice in policing.We start where most programs fail: leaving wellness to HR or EAP and forgetting families. Doug explains how to onboard spouses and partners with the same care we give new hires, and why a 10–15 minute decompression ritual at the door can prevent years of resentment at home. From there, we dig into the mentorship pipeline—how great FTOs set career goals, normalize therapy, and keep officers engaged long after field training. As rank rises, the view widens; without peer networks and rank-specific training, command staff unintentionally import narrow worldviews into complex events like suicide, deepening stigma and pain.The episode unpacks procedural justice for the inside of the house—dignity, voice, clear motives, and follow-through—to counter “administration betrayal.” We name the Man Box and the Cop Box, exploring how rigid ideals make therapy, medication, or simple human tenderness feel like violations. Doug shows how emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and the Four Agreements become everyday tools that change culture one conversation at a time. And we get practical: field officers should carry the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, because at 3 a.m. on a bridge you need the right questions, not another search tab.If you lead, supervise, dispatch, or love a first responder, this conversation offers a blueprint you can use tomorrow—family education, mentorship, internal fairness, and tools that save lives. Listen, share with your team, and tell us what belongs outside the box.
