Today, I am very excited to be joined by Jan Risher. Our friend Stephanie November referred her to me, and you are truly in for a treat! Jan is the Louisiana Culture Editor for Georges Media, where she writes three statewide columns a week, serves as the Baton Rouge features editor, and leads Louisiana Inspired and Louisiana Health as editor. On top of all that, her newest book, “Q of the D: Encouraging Conversation and Connection,” was released in November 2024—and it couldn't have come at a better time. In this episode, Jan and I dive into her passion for storytelling, building community, and why strong conversation skills are more essential than ever. We also explore Jan's favorite Louisiana adventures (mermaid tales included!), how simple gestures like the "Virtual Casserole" can make a lasting impact, and the college friendship that sustains her decades later. Topics We Cover: ✨ Meeting Cathie Curtis in college and the lifelong power of friendship ✨ What exactly is Virtual Casserole—and how you can "deliver a little goodness." ✨ Jan's favorite Louisiana exploits (yes, there's a mermaid story!) ✨ Why conversation skills matter and what inspired her to write Q of the D ✨ How we can foster deeper connection and community in today's world Connect with Jan Risher:

How do you balance small, iterative progress with the vast unknowns of research and development (R&D)? Can test-driven development (TDD) literally or "in spirit" still provide value when you're navigating uncharted territory? In this episode of the Mob Mentality Show, we dive deep into the intersection of R&D Mobbing and software development, exploring real-world scenarios, strategies, and challenges teams face when innovating under uncertainty. What You'll Learn in This Episode:

How do the people in your world learn things? Lessons learned might come from formalized institutions, but knowledge might also get passed down through families, through guilds and trade organizations, or through the wisdom whispered in a character's ear by the trees. A world's literacy rate will define a lot about how information gets transmitted, preserved, or altered over time. So who controls the access to information, and how do they enforce it? We also poke at the perennially persistent trope of the magical school. How is magical education similar to or different from other forms of education in your society? Is it mandatory, to help control the danger that magic might present to society, or is it a privilege reserved for a very few? How about magical R&D -- How do people discover or develop new magic?

And He gave you this episode.  Love's giving you this message- "You're asking for the wrong thing... asking for a sign of something to come, or of something to start,  but it's here.  Just as I Am. See this. Affirm: "I need Peace, I don't need control. I need God, I don't need a sign. I have God, so I have everything." And now relax into that Everything.  Drop your shoulders down and back into that Everything.  Drop your mind down into your heart.  How does that sound? Put your hands up, palms up.  What do you see? Are you looking at hands or are you looking at Love? Love is your body.  Love is The Sign... watch things get GoOD.  I Love you,  nik  Support the show: ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings _______________________ "Rule the thoughts in yourself, that you may become ruler of all things."- St. Basil the Great "Do you have the patience to wait until your mud settles, and the water is clear?

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Hi :-) I work as a Senior Data Scientist, and about half a year ago I joined a start up that was founded by a large corporation. And while this job comes with the perks of a bigger company - like good salary, paid overtime, … , - it also comes with its organizational overhead and politics: We are only about 30 people but already a quarter of us acts as managers. I write “act” because the official org chart is flat (with the CEO at the top and the rest of us directly underneath). The unofficial org chart is hidden and depending on who you speak with, you get their view point on how roles and responsibilities should look like. As a result, I'm left with putting together the pieces to build a picture that somewhat resembles the truth. So far, I've concluded that we have multiple (!) management layers, that there's a power war taking place in the middle management layer, and that you can make up your own titles that mean NOTHING, because no one has any official, disciplinary authority over any one, but that are still to be respected! What a great opportunity for job crafting :-D To make things worse, I prefer and come from organizations that have a truly flat hierarchy. For example, I'm used to step outside of my role should the situation require it (like doing some managerial tasks, supporting sales, …) and that I can speak my mind, irrespective of what the title of the person is who I'm talking to. While this was beneficial in my previous positions, this does not work well here! And while I understand that adapting my behavior would be more in line with the company culture, I find this extremely difficult. On the one hand, because of the hidden org chart, on the other because we are all fully remote and I rarely see people from other teams. To avoid accidentally stepping on anyone's toes, my current solution is to stick my head in the sand and focus on my coding. However, this leaves me disgruntled because I feel like I'm not being myself, and that I'm withholding a viable part of my skill set: to see the bigger picture and serve the company as a whole instead of just implementing tickets. Please help, I do not understand how this company works :'-D How would you navigate the situation? I don't want to quit because, individually, my coworkers are super nice, and the work is really interesting. All the best

Impact of Educational Leadership Episode 172 Hosted by: I. D. III for Isaiah Drone III Kelly Brown, Ed.D.| Buddy Thornton | Dr. Chanel Green | Estee Marie Transformation of Higher Relationship Intelligence Because we haven't been taught to heal and take control of the emotions that could shape our lives with dangerous after-effects, often, this hurts. When you can't have the one person or thing you want, you feel so crushed and dismayed, especially when they push you away. But, you're so in love with the image of what could have been, and now your heart is open, and sadness has entered in. A mixed reality that feels so true, but it's abusing you. With reoccurring trauma, like a spinning wheel turning in time, you're losing your grab, and it seems you will never get through to that place in time. Managing those challenges comes down to social-emotional intelligence. In a way that builds you from your experiences, relationships, and connections to help balance shared experiences and future expectations. Not getting too angry but activating core strengths is usually identified through positive support systems that allow teams to remember past misperceptions, apply the right approach to the moment, and co-create a better way to work together in the future. Buddy Thornton: How do you heal first and then create a coping system to help you value and manage healthy relationships to be your best self? Dr. Chanel Green: What would you say to an emotionally crushed student going through a traumatic situation based on your experience as an educator? Estee Marie: Would you be the person you are today if you never had challenges? How do you use your art to build relationships and communicate emotions? Kelly Brown, Ed.D: How would you inspire your community to transform to a higher level of relationship intelligence based on your personal story?

Intro Background Mystique, Raven Darkholme, created by Chris Claremont & Dave Cockrum in Ms. Marvel #16 (April 1978) To this day, Mystique's true origins have never been revealed The earliest stories place her around 1900, where she was presenting as male and in a relationship with Irene Adler (Destiny), an obvious reference to Sherlock Holmes While undercover, she had a short fling with Sabretooth, which led to a child Graydon Creed - despite having 2 mutant parents, Graydon is a normal human who comes to resent all mutants - he grows up to become a powerful politician before being assassinated by a time-traveling version of Mystique #BecauseComics She is later seduced by Azazel., and becomes pregnant with a baby that she abandoned at birth - the baby would be taken in and named Kurt Wagner, aka Nightcrawler Side note - Claremont intended for Mystique & Destiny to be Nightcrawler's parents, but the Code wouldn't allow a lesbian relationship at the time Encounters a young runaway girl from Mississippi, and after Destiny foresees that she will become important to them, she takes in the young Rogue and acts as her foster mother She leads a version of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and trains Rogue to join them and attack Ms. Marvel - Rogue ends up absorbing Carol's powers, memories, and personality for a time #BecauseComics Turns the Brotherhood “legit” as Freedom Force, and they work for the government, while still clashing with the X-Men - during this time, Irene is killed, and this has a serious impact on her Joins X-Factor under duress, but after some time she escapes and flees to Europe, where she becomes a top fashion model Joins the X-Men as a shapeshifter named Foxx, and attempts to seduce Gambit so she can break up Gambit & Rogue and set up Rogue with another mutant - the ploy fails, but she joins the team on a probationary basis - Kurt says he needs time to process, though, which she gives him Works with Gambit & the Marauders to betray Mister Sinister in the fallout of M-Day - Logan is sent to kill her, and he severely wounds her, but does not finish the job She is later actually killed by Logan after she had been posing as Professor X for Norman Osborn's Dark X-Men She was revived by the Hand, and posed as Dazzler, who was a mutant liaison for SHIELD in Madripoor Had a tender moment with Rogue before her wedding to Gambit Serves on the Quiet Council of Krakoa as a Winter representative Issues - Piercing the veil Can't really be herself because of the hatred towards mutants Always distant in her relationships - rare exceptions, like Irene & Rogue Inner self-acceptance isn't always reflected in outer appearance, which is difficult Break (37:27) Plugs for Take a Knee for Marvel vs. DC, Into the Knight, and Chris Claremont Treatment (38:42) In-universe - Become emotions, not people Out of universe Skit (49:34) ***knock at the door*** Come in -***Mrs Issues*** Hey, just stopping by Oh! Um…usually you text me, but ok, I thought you were my next patient -No problem, I figured I hadn't been to your office in a while and I know you've had some rough days. Thanks *pause* I thought you had class tonight. -I do, that's why I brought someone along with me to cheer you up; plus you can keep watch for a bit. I'll be right back but I have to get my stuff from the car. ***door closes*** As always. But where's -***Door opens***Daughter Issues*** Daddy! *pause* Ok Getthef**kout -WHAT? Why? ***fake crying*** Seriously get out or identify yourself or I'm calling the police -***some sort of morphing sound, now Mystique***  M: well you don't have to be so rude, I thought you were a professional. D Professional enough to know my own daughter hasn't called me “daddy” in years. Her choice, not mine. And I guess I can't call the police on my own patient if I haven't given them a chance to explain. Don't expect me to be cheery after a stunt like that. - M You're perceptive, I'll grant you that. But now we have a problem. D I know what my problem is. What's yours? M *sigh* Let's be real. You can't fight me, and I don't necessarily want to fight you. But you're valuable. More than you know. D You were going to kidnap me?!  M *laughs* No, nothing as dramatic as that. This was supposed to be a stealth operation. You have information. I need it. D I've already been down that rabbit hole. Secure encryption, magical wards, along with undisclosed offshore servers have made sure I don't make the same mistake ever again.  M Doom really hooked you up, then. D HOW…*deep breath*...you are masterful, you know that? Always seeking more information, more leverage.  M: It's my currency, it's how I get ahead. D: But do you need that anymore? You don't come across as someone who wants to be at the beck and call of someone else, but you also find ways to put yourself as the center of attention, even if no one else knows it yet. I know those aren't mutually exclusive, but that can get complicated very fast.  M: My life is complicated? Hmmm, I would have never thought that in a hundred years…no wait, that is EXACTLY what I've spent every day for the last hundred-plus years thinking about. I have enough baggage to fill an entire airport. I just choose which ones to pick up on various occasions. D: So what set of circumstances would lead you to add me to the mix? It's obvious you don't want therapy.  M: I won't divulge my secrets if you won't divulge yours. D: This isn't a negotiation.  M: Au contraire. All conversations are negotiations. Most people don't apply the proper context. Or pressure. D: This must be so difficult for you. You're talking to a person that's not of your world, nothing to offer that you couldn't weasel out in some other way, and yet, this is the path you chose. You find me weak, but interesting, and I don't know why.  M: *pause* Are you fishing, or trying to sound profound?  D: Why not both? My point is, you seem to set up your own challenges without respect to the person, or the emotional consequences even for yourself. I'll give you a hypothetical. What if you learn of someone you DIDN'T want to have on your radar, and they hunt you down after they destroy me? Is that risk worth it?  M: It wouldn't be the first time that someone else gets hurt in the crossfire.  D: But what if it's someone you actually care about? Are you really going to throw away the opportunity to improve a lasting relationship for the sake of an odd job or morbid curiosity? What if I could offer you that chance and the other person is willing to talk about it…with you and me?  M: You can't make promises like that. D: Never said I could. But I can try. That's all I'm saying.  M: I know for a fact that you aren't a…family therapist.  D: Who said it was family?  M: *pause* I…  D: *snaps fingers* YOU were fishing! You didn't know! This was a hunch, wasn't it?  M: *sigh* There aren't that many psychiatrists that delve into…our type, for lack of a better term. Word spreads fast. I have the background on your services, but things were locked out, as you so eloquently put it, before I could get any good dirt. But still…if there was a chance… D: There's no alternative mission…no monetary gain? You really just want…hmmm…I meant what I said. No guarantees. This may get messy.  M: As always. So…you know, I may have wanted someone that is NOT considered a person close to me. If I disclose it, would you be able to set up someone like that, too? D: Nope Nope Nope.  This is a one-time deal. You get one person, I contact on my time. If they say no, you don't get another chance. Understood?  M: Clearly. Doesn't mean I will stop trying. I have more on you, you know. Think about it. Every person you see in your life could be me, doctor. A. Ny. One. D: And every person you meet is an opportunity for you to stop looking at them as a puppet to mimic, and engage them for who you really are. I guess we'll both have doubts.  M: You are learning to negotiate better. Keep at it, and I might consider this…therapeutic. ***for end of show*** No matter how complicated life can be, you'll always have control of your own mystique - M:  ***morphing sound*** Oh do you, now? Uhhhhhh…for Anthony I guess? Gah! I'm Doctor Issues thank you so much we'll see you next week! Ending (55:06) Recommended reading: Mystique by Brian K.

In this episode of the HUMAN First podcast, Dr. Courtney explores what it means to be a therapist who also has mental health problems with her fellow No-BS therapist, Kristen Gingrich. Here is a list of the topics/questions they discuss: Kristen and Dr. Courtney bond about being “No-BS” therapists and showing their humanness as professionals Kristen shares her story about how she lost her friend to suicide as a teenager and felt like she could have been a better friend and how she never wants another person to feel that lonely again Breakdown of the words “therapist”, “mental illness”, and “stigma” Therapists have therapists? (um, yes, thank god.) What it means to have ‘trust' and a ‘safe space' with your therapist *A surprise* around 11 minutes (sorry if it scares you ;D) How the world got into a place where Kristen and Dr. Courtney could be so open about their mental health problems as licensed professionals Self-disclosure vs. “blank slates” in the therapy room as a therapist When Kristen felt like having trauma might have prevented her from becoming a therapist (and who scared her the most: clients' or peers' perceptions) Disclosure about how Kristen's mom treated her (trigger warning) when she was younger and how she balances what she shares in session vs. on social media When Kristen finally went “no-contact” with her mother after a traumatic childhood What to do/say when a client knows something about you as a therapist and may be holding back their own “stuff” to not trigger you (the therapist) Why mental health has stigma in the first place (hint, per usual, it has a lot to do with survival) Normalizing mental health problems and mental illness as a human being and a therapist Find Kristen Gingrich on Instagram & TikTok! @notyouraveragethrpst Kristen also created a new book that you purchase at her IG!

Intro Background (0:57) Terra created by Marv Wolfman & George Perez in New Teen Titans #26 (Dec. 1982) Tara Markov is the illegitimate child of Viktor Markov, the king of Markovia She was experimented on and gained the ability to control earthen matter Unlike her brother Geo-Force, she believed her abilities made her a god, and she was meant to rule over people - this, coupled with the scandal of her parentage, caused her father to send her out of the country to the US Used her powers as a mercenary, eventually gaining the attention of Deathstroke, who took her under his wing Used her to infiltrate the Teen Titans, even going so far as to battle him to earn their trust After Deathstroke captured them, his son Jericho possessed him to free the Titans - this caused Terra to think he turned on her, and she pulled down the entire building in a fit of rage, seemingly killing herself Returns as a Black Lantern during Blackest Night - tries to seduce Beast Boy, and lies to her brother Geo-Force that she doesn't want to be reanimated A doppleganger later appeared - she was an alien sent to Earth and genetically manipulated to appear as the reincarnation of Tara, but the process erased her memory A new Terra named Atlee shows up in the New 52 as an ally of Supergirl and later Power Girl Issues - theme of manipulation (5:55) How her sociopathy relates to actual antisocial personality disorder Rejected by her father because of the nature of her parentage (13:44) Manipulated by Deathstroke to be his pawn (21:50) Break Plugs for BetterHelp, Harpy Hour, and Saladin Ahmed Treatment (32:57) In-universe - Use clay as a metaphor during play therapy treatment session Out of universe - Volatile & BPD issues (40:37) Skit (feat. Erin from Girls Talk Comics) (47:15) Doc: Hello Tara, I'm Dr. Issues. Terra: *cheerily* Hiiii D: Ooooookay…um, what brings you to T: *interrupts* What? Just because I greeted you with a smile and I'm happy makes you suspicious? You need to get over yourself. D: *pause* Not at all! I just got thrown off because usually the people that seek my guidance are exactly the opposite…or more neutral. I should also inform you that I have several quirks that lead some people to think I'm reading more into what they're saying than I am. T: But you're a psychiatrist. Your job is to read people. That's my job too, just for different reasons. D: I see. Care to elaborate? T: Nope. D: *pause* T: This is where you dig into what I really mean. D: You gave a very clear answer. If that's all, then T: WAIT WAIT WAIT What is this? ***What the fuck IS THIS?*** You just give up on someone the second they show a little resistance? You're…weird. Are you a loser? Are you fascinating? I don't know which. D: So how will you find out? Hurl more insults? Honestly, I haven't had someone so reactive in a bit. I'm chill, so you do you. T: ***THIS IS BULLSHIT*** You're supposed to comfort me to calm me down, not be all passive aggressive! Are you sure you're a psychiatrist? What am I even doing here? D: It's clear that you have some trouble managing anger when you don't run the show. I'm trying to strike that balance…but the fulcrum on your conversations makes every sentence a catapult! Who does the best job navigating this out of anyone you know? T: Two of them…and in different ways. D: How so? T: The first…if I talk about him, you're dead, so I won't. He was easy because he gave a job. Purpose. I did it perfectly. And he crushed our trust so I crushed everything around me. The other…ohhhhhhh…he's an animal…ANY animal…complete opposite. So much fun I'd do anything for that boy. D: To summarize, the first practical, the other whimsical. That means you have the potential to connect with a full spectrum of people. Perhaps blending a team T: *Interrupts* NO D: *pause* A support group.  T: Better. D: I have to acknowledge that your reactivity made benefit from med T: *interrupts* People putting things in my body is what made me go crazy! STOP! NO MORE! *rumble sound effects* D: I'm not going to yell back. I'm not forcing anything, unless you demonstrate a danger, so please, let's keep this civil. Neither of us need to deal with damage to this office. *sotte voce* And my insurance company is gonna drop me if I file one more claim like this. T: I've had enough of this. You claim to be this super calm doctor and have all of my problems figured out, but you don't know a thing about me. You have a great life. You never had to build trust and break it, and have it broken on you, over and over again! You never got so enraged you basically killed yourself! You didn't find the love of your life and have to throw yourself at them just to get a kiss! Tell me, how would you handle that? How would you be in my shoes? D: I'd probably freak out a bit. I'd have intense emotions, and I don't know how or when they'd overwhelm  me. For all I know, I'd react similarly to you, because I'm a living, breathing human and nobody deserves to be put through pain. But pain exists. Channel it. Do something different. Otherwise, you're just going to spread pain to everyone else. T: *groans and screams* I AM OUT OF HERE. You're lucky your office isn't a pile of rubble right now. Think about THAT! ***Fucking obnoxious prick!*** *door slams* D: *sigh* *whispers* 5-4-3-2- T: *door opens* AND THE NEXT SESSION I'LL TALK ABOUT DEATHSTROKE SO HE CAN KILL YOU. *switches to cheery* Thursday afternoons work the best, byeeee!

Intro Thanks to all our Patrons: Humble Citizens Dan and Kate; Local Officials Frank, Rey, and Jonathan; Mayors Angela, Chad, Devon, Maggie, Matt, Nyan, Ryan, and Tasha; Presidents Ariel, Jeanine, Matt, and Ruby Thanks to Khelan from Homo Superior - explain the show Background (3:30) Wiccan created by Allen Heinberg and Jim Cheung in Young Avengers #1 (April 2005) Billy Kaplan is a magic user recruited by Iron Lad (a time-traveling variant of Kang the Conqueror) to join a team of heroes to replace the disbanded Avengers Initially calling himself Asgardian, he changes his name to Wiccan Begins dating his teammate Teddy Altman, the shapeshifter called Hulkling Meets Tommy Shepherd, who looks identically to him but has different hair and superspeed powers Billy & the Young Avengers join Captain America's anti-registration team in Civil War - an attack on Billy is what kicks off a massive fight that leaves several heroes dead or incapacitated Billy & Tommy come to learn of a possible connection to the Scarlet Witch, who previously had twin boys named Billy & Tommy that vanished when it was revealed that she created them out of chaos magic, but they later vanished after Mephisto wiped them from existence - their souls were “repurposed” into Billy Kaplan & Tommy Shepherd #BecauseComics Children's Crusade: Billy & the Young Avengers seek out Wanda, who had been missing since House of M, to determine parentage - after finding an amnesiac Wanda in Latveria and engaged to Dr. Doom, she has her memory & powers restored, and reveals that she is in fact their mom - a battle with Dr. Doom leaves Cassie dead, but Teddy proposes to Billy Empyre: Thanks to his Skrull-Kree heritage, Teddy becomes Emperor of a new alliance, and they declare war on the Cotati, a plant-like race bent on revenge against former Skrull enslavers - before he leaves, Teddy and Billy get married in Vegas, and then officially once the war is over, combining Skrull, Kree, and Jewish customs Currently serving as prince consort to Teddy Issues (7:32) Uncertainty over parentage causes stress Questions over extent of powers (17:40) Husband's responsibilities pull him off-world (30:14) Not an issue: his family and support system (37:38) Break (47:43) Plugs for BetterHelp, Play Comics, and Al Ewing Treatment (49:23) In-universe - Have Billy say “no more magic” to put aside that aspect of his life for a while Out of universe - Focus on what the patient wants to talk about, and whether they have a good fit with the therapist (51:36) Skit (feat. Khelan) (59:20)   DOC: Hello Billy, I'm Dr. Issues. BILLY: Hey Doc.  D: How are you?  B: I mean, things have been worse. D: That's not exactly a rousing endorsement. B: Sorry, I just mean there were a lot of questions that were driving me crazy, and I don't have nearly as many as I did before. That's a good thing. D: I'm glad to hear that. So what lingers? B: Still a ton of stuff. *pause* This is a bit hard, you know? I get it's your job, but sometimes I think even professionals will misinterpret what I'm saying, so I'm careful with what I let out. D: Totally understandable. Just remember that this is confidential, so even if things don't go as expected, they stay between us as long as no one is put in danger. B: Good to know. D: So, name something you want to discuss. B: Iwanttobecalmiwanttobecalmiwanttobecalm… D: Excuse me? B: Sorry, just wanted to be sure I was in the right headspace before I started. Is it wrong to want your husband to be around more? D: That...sounds like a loaded question. I take it you mean “more than he is now” and that there is some sort of barrier to that? B: Exactly. D: Does he disagree with you? B: NOT exactly. It's more to do with...outside activities. D: Are they activities that you approve of? B: I don't have a choice. D: There's always a choice; it's just a matter of consequences. B: Well, the consequences here involve the wellbeing of a whole empire, so do with that what you will. D: *pause* Heavy stuff. B: And listen, I'm so proud of him taking on this responsibility, and he does it so well and capably. And it doesn't hurt that he looks AMAZING with a crown on his head. I just… I want some more US time, y'know? D: For once when talking to a superhero, I DO know, quite well. How far would you say the scale has shifted? B: Oh, he hasn't packed on weight or anything. He still can bench press D: *interrupting* I'm glad that you're clearly still into him physically...what I meant was, on the work-life balance spectrum of his time with the crown versus his time with you, where is he on that scale? B: Hmmmm...maybe 75-25? No that's too harsh. How about 60-40. D: Your first answer was your gut, and that's ok. Intuition that's unrecognized can lead to dangerous emotional impulse. Your second answer sounds like what you would settle for. But tell me...really. What do you want it to be? B: The selfish side of me would say 5-95, and that's being generous. I just… we're newly married, our honeymoon was interrupted by symbiote dragons attacking the resort, and it seems like he can't make a decision without having to worry about some intergalactic treaty or alliance hanging on his every move. I love him, and I'll be his ride or die until neither of us draw breath, but I confess I did NOT see this as part of the whole “till death do us part” thing when I fell in love with him. So the simple answer is I don't honestly know what a good balance would be, but I know this ain't it. D: That may be one of the most mature answers I've heard in a long time. I'm not going to promise that those outside factors are going to change, but I can vow that it is my ethical duty to help your attempts at discovering a better balance each time we discuss it in each session. My only caution to you is to not expect things to just magically change. B: Except you realize who you're talking to, right? D: Yes, but even still- B: Iwantabetterbalanceiwantabetterbalanceiwantabetterbalance D: As I was saying, I know you want things to get towards total devotion, but the increase in civil unrest may be taking an emotional toll on your partner. Have you talked about that with him? B: Pardon me, but, I don't think it's THAT bad. D: Well, 25-75 isn't your perfect goal, and yet, the attempts on the lives of your fellow heroes must have led to so much anxiety.  B: No, no, that's not - D: But you did say he was willing to surrender if it came time to save you. I'm glad that he has made it known how much he loves you. B: Iwantabetterkingdomiwantabetterkingdomiwantabetterkingdom D: You're clearly using your abilities to influence what you can. I've been talking a lot here. Rather than creating more stress for yourself, let me know, what's your take on your husband's pushback? B: *semi-robotic* I want the kingdom to be better. *normal* I thought I made that clear with the spells and the talking and I really thought you would have picked up on this by now oh my gosh have I completely made things worse oh no oh no oh no not again… D: Well, I usually don't jump to this in a session, but your anxiety appears to be through the roof! Have you considered other forms of relaxation, or a discussion on possible medication management? B: Sorry, sorry, I just had a bit of a freakout there...we were talking about acceptable balance. I'm willing to work at it the slow...the NON MAGIC way. D: No problem. 76-24 is not the worst I've ever heard in terms of a ratio B: WHAT? D: Just a bit of humor on my end. Usually the reality is somewhere between your gut and your partner's thoughts. I'm in no position right now to tell what the number is. Only you know that. B: Oh, so the things you said before, with what I cast, and the responses after that, it wasn't so bad I didn't screw everything up there's still a chance oh my god this is amazing! D: You're...welcome? I must say, for someone who knows a lot about things I couldn't begin to understand, you sell yourself short with how much you have in your control. B: Maybe not as much as you think, doctor. D: Ok then, perhaps we'll discuss how much control you have over the situation in our next session. In the meantime, enjoy that makeup honeymoon that your constituents planned for you out of respect for your personal lives. B: Whoa...whoa...then it really made a difference? I did better? I...nevermind. You're right. Let's leave it at that. Iwanttogototeddyiwanttogototeddyiwanttogototeddy...

Intro Superhero Therapy - explanation by Dr. Scarlet Background (5:16) Natalia Alianovna “Natasha” Romanova created by Stan Lee, Don Rico, and Don Heck in Tales of Suspense #52 (April 1964) Young Natalia was trained and raised by the Red Room, a secret Soviet facility training assassins - she was sent to America to assassinate Anton Vanko, who had defected from Russia, but was defeated by Iron Man - then she enlisted Hawkeye's help in fighting him, but they were defeated as well - when Clint saved her, she began falling for him, and he helped her defect - she later joined the Avengers Began working for SHIELD, and then started a relationship with Daredevil while he was stationed in San Francisco Encounters Yelena Belova, another graduate of the Red Room, who wants to take Natasha out so she can inherit the Black Widow mantle - uses psychological manipulation to force Yelena to confront her own past Has a relationship with Bucky Barnes for a time, while he's working as the Winter Soldier Serves on the Secret Avengers under Captain America Killed during the Incursion event merging the mainstream and Ultimate Marvel universes, but resurrected after Molecule Man restores the damage done - only to be killed again, this time by Hydra-influenced Steve Rogers After her death, the Red Room cloned her, including her memories, and tasked her with taking out Hydra and SHIELD - the clone, calling herself Natasha Romanoff, instead eliminated the Red Room leadership and freed all the recruits Issues (7:49) Manipulation by the Red Room, and its repeated attempts to bring her back under their control, mean she's never free from her past Also constantly trying to redeem herself for her assassinations (16:05) Life of a spy/secret agent means her identity is always in flux (22:53) Break (34:06) Plugs for BetterHelp, Sips Suds & Smokes, and Cullen Bunn Treatment (36:10) In-universe - Use Dr. Issues as a target, force her to face inequity Out of universe - Empty chair exercise to discuss feelings with people that have been wronged (39:02) Skit (46:21) DOC: Hello Natasha, I'm Dr. Issues.  NATASHA: Good afternoon, Doctor. D: I'm afraid we're going to have to go through a bit of an introductory period. Normally I get a file on my patients before I meet with them, but yours was almost entirely redacted. N: That's just how it is in my line of work. D: That's fair, but I've worked with your colleagues before, and I've never seen anything quite like this. It's like the whole thing was covered in black Sharpie. N: Some of my employers would kill both of us if they even knew I was speaking with you. Frankly this conversation is more dangerous than most. D: In that case I appreciate you speaking with me. And be sure to know I take all the necessary precautions for my own safety, as well as the confidentiality of my clients. N: No offense, doc, but that won't stop some of the more… unsavory characters I've dealt with. They've come at me in Avengers Mansion, I don't think this office will hold them. D: Sad to say, but I've dealt with worse. So we'll deal with that threat if and when it comes. Let's get back to you. What can we accomplish today? N: Probably less than what I would want out of this. D: How so? N: This is going to be the type of scenario where I don't say names, I only give hints. If you are sharp enough to follow my lead, then maybe I can learn something from you.  D: Way more nebulous than I imagined. Usually when people do that, I think they're demonstrating paranoia.  N: Is it really paranoia when you know people are truly after you? D: But the fight, flight, or freeze phenomenon doesn't turn itself on and off like a switch if you've exhausted yourself in that vigilant state for too long. Plus, it makes it difficult for anyone to get to know you. N: Thank you for stating the obvious. No, really, thank you. People don't understand that it's inherent in what I do. I didn't sign up for this life. I was bred for it. D: Maybe that's true, but N: *interrupting, clearly upset* No maybes about it! I can't say that much about such things but...think about how organized different agencies can be, especially under authoritarian rule. D: Got it. Sorry to cast any doubt to your experience. I'm thankful that you're keeping the conversation on track. Is it fair to ask, then, how being so harshly molded at a young age influences you now? Any nightmares or flashbacks to those events? N: I've learned to regulate my physiology just fine.  D: How about the emotional content, then?  N: I have all of the...expected emotions. D: Interesting choice of words. I'm not familiar with what would be considered “expected” because that's such a wide range. Anger? Sadness? Fear? N: *pause* All of it. D: Then you have lots of possibilities to work with N: More than that though. Relief, Joy, Pain...I know you're really a doctor because you just went for what's considered negative. But I'm a lot stronger than you realize. I don't want a pity case here. In a way, you're only alive right now because I made that decision when I stepped into this office. D: *obtuse, missing the mark* Is that a veiled threat at me in some way to show superiority? I don't have a god complex. N: No, I meant it much simpler than that.  D: Hmmmm...You're so resolute about this, once again I have to take you at face value. And yet, that brings us back to the original point. How can I help you if the only thing on your mind is helping others besides yourself? N: I don't get such luxury. You seem to have this mindset that I'm intentionally draining my life away, toiling at the behest of others and neglecting my needs. That's nonsense. I'm alive because I see all of the angles. Too many times it's “kill or be killed.” But what about when you save someone? Save hundreds? How many times can I give an eye for an eye before we're all blind? D: That's noble beyond compare. I hear the pain that comes through too. Same with exhaustion. I'm not asking you to change everything. I'm asking if you want some part...ANY part, better. N: *sarcastic* So you want me to be a better killing machine? D: ...anything, but that. N: So you see my problem. Even when I'm supposedly doing good in the world, it's typically because someone doing worse has been brought down.  D: Least Common Denominator. So how do we change the math? You know I won't help you with the one part of that equation you mentioned, so… N: You're not making the ultimate sinner into a saint...and I'm not even religious. D: For one thing, I'd hardly consider you the ultimate sinner. For another, we're not even going to get into that side of things.  N: That makes one of us. D: You...you really would go that far, huh?  N: When you've seen what I've seen and done what I've done, there's not even a question about it.  D: Then no shame, no blame. There's only the way up. The next assignment. Clue me in your emotions, and I'll try to establish the right path to maximizing your efficacy in relating to people in a mutually beneficial way. N: Now you're trying to make it sound like I'm a wallflower who's never dated. Come on! D: That's not what I'm getting at, I mean *bullets hit glass* N: Bozhe moi. Get down! D: Yes ma'am. N: *fires back* Who knew I was coming? D: No one outside of my assistant. N: That's one person too many. *pause* Did you see where the shot came from? D: No, I'm kinda too busy doing my job. I thought you saw all the angles. N: This is why I didn't wanna come here in the first place. OK, you stick your head up and see if you spot any movement. D: HELL NO. I'm not getting sniped so you can save the day again. N: *grunts* Fine. Do you have something you can use as a distraction? D: I have a paperweight on my desk. N: Gotta work with what we've got. On the count of three, toss it to me. One… two… three! D: *grunts* *bullets fire* N: Do svidaniya, asshole. D: I.. I can't believe this. N: Really? You do what you do and you're surprised? D: No, I can't believe something like this happened and I don't have a pun prepared. N: You are a strange man.  D: Thanks. N: And yet, not the worst at your job. Perhaps I'll come back for another session. But if I do that, we're talking directly or not at all. Also, I'd check your assistant's background. D: Consider it done. So, do you want to keep the paperweight? Consider it a memento. N: No thanks. I have enough stuff weighing me down, I don't need something else. D: Oh man, ANOTHER pun. You're good at this. N: See ya ‘round, Doc.

“I’ll be the “bad guy” and I’m okay with that.” I found myself repeating this multiple times in this past week-and-a-half. Sometimes motherhood requires us to make tough decisions. Choices that our family and kids may not always like. We have to learn to trust ourselves, our instincts and be okay with the tough choices we make on behalf of our kids. In today's storytime, I discuss how an ordinary basketball program turned into a teaching and learning moment for my family. This incident brought to life the majority of the May episodes I've aired so far. I found myself recalling the information, tips, and takeaways from my guests and applying them in the situation I was facing. Let me tell you, the information in episodes 89-93 came in clutch for me this past week. This episode is a little different than my normally scheduled content. However, I had to share the lessons learned, the wisdom gained, and overall the mportance of trusting myself as a mother no matter what.  Listen to hear how a basketball program set the stage for some great teaching, learning, and life-defining moments in my household.  Referenced in this episode: From Unconscious to Conscious Parenting: Why You Must Put Your Oxygen Mask On First w/ Katherine Winter- Sellery | Ep. 93 Why Forgiveness is a Powerful Path to Healing and Self-Awareness | Ep. 92 Dear Single Mommy: Heal.

“You better be thinking towards the future, or you're going to get left behind.”  -Kathryne A. Newton, Ph.D How do you manage the generational divide within your company? Kathryne A. Newton, Ph.D., may not have all the answers, but she does possess more than enough intel to coax groups toward more productive communication. Whether those conversations happen face-to-face, through email, or via text is another matter.  Self-professed generation geek Jason invites Kathryne to bust the cohort myths that get in the way of innovation. She also shares insights from her career as associate dean of Purdue University’s Polytechnic Institute and her tenure with the University of Innovative Distribution. In case anyone assumed otherwise, Kathryne makes her cohort allegiance clear: “I am not a basher of Millennials or Gen Z or any of ‘em.” Instead, she champions creating environments where the differences build stronger teams rather than pitting one group against another.  With literally five generations currently working side by side, there’s a staggering wealth of expertise and innovation in the workforce right now - and an inevitable amount of friction. Helping management navigate  intergenerational conflicts is Kathryne’s specialty. She often finds that attachment to generational stereotypes (the cynical GenXer; the entitled Millennial) derail good intentions. Each group possesses unique talents, influence, and outlook; it’s incumbent upon management to recognize those differences and foster a company-wide appreciation for them.  Her top tip? Meet the individual cohorts where they are rather than expecting everyone to operate in the same style.  Kathryne’s time at Purdue has afforded her a unique vantage point to assess the mettle of distribution’s next leaders. She likes what she sees. She does wish that more institutions would follow Purdue’s lead and provide students with creative programs for financing graduate degrees. However, no matter where they’ve graduated from, wholesale distribution professionals can continue their education via The University of Innovative Distribution, one of Jason’s favorite events. Kathryne is the department chair and a faculty member of the concentrated CEU program.  Although a Boomer herself, Kathryne doesn’t sound eager to join the ranks of that generation’s retirees, at least not yet. She still enjoys transforming generational discord into workplace triumph.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE DT069: Steve Diest on career paths and recruitment strategies in wholesale distribution Generations At Work: Managing the Clash of Boomers, Gen Xers, and Gen Yers in the Workplace - by Claire Raines, Ron Zemke, Bob Filipczak Adaptive Spaces: How GM and Other Companies are Positively Disrupting Themselves and Transforming into Agile Organizations - by Michael J.

George Mason University and Wharton Aerospace Community held an excellent event on the productivity of independent research and development (IR&D). Discussing the topic was an insightful panel including former ASD(A) Kevin Fahey, defense analyst Byron Callan, and former Acquisition Talk guest Anne Marie Knott moderated by Stephanie Halcrow, senior fellow at GMU's Center for Government Contracting.  IR&D, of course, in the defense world is different than the R&D done at commercial firms like Google and Netflix. IR&D projects are funded by defense contractors, but the cost is reimbursed by government as an indirect rate spread across their portfolio of contracts. (You can find more about that in the forward pricing rate process). This provides for some interesting incentives and comparisons with the commercial sector. The panelists discuss: - Whether defense contractors spend enough on IR&D - Rates of return on corporate venture capital - The effect of profit policy on IR&D - How to align contractor IR&D with defense objectives - How the Research Quotient can be used to benchmark IR&D This podcast was produced by Eric Lofgren. Soundtrack by urmymuse: "reflections of u". You can follow us on Twitter @AcqTalk and find more information at AcquisitionTalk.com.

It's one of the hardest things for any DM to handle: What do you do when the way you see the game and the way the players see the game is no longer in sync? You describe something as super dangerous, and a PC runs up to give it a hug — then the players get angry when it attacks them. Or the players come up with a plan, but when they try to execute it, the actions they take work out more like the Keystone Cops than Seal Team 6. Or the tough, henchmen-level bad guys seem too hard, and players start accusing the DM of cheating for the outcome they wanted. This is no academic discussion. One of our own games is suffering from miscommunication, and it's not fun. Can it be saved? Can yours if it's starting to see some of these same issues? Listen in as Thorin, Tony and Dave dig into the miscommunications issues their games have had (and are having) and talk about why it happens, where it leads, and what can be done to try to save it. 2:00 “The world is this way.” “No, it's not, it's this way.” What is a DM-player communication breakdown? 4:00 When the “super-rare” power you were warned about shows up in the first adventure 8:00 The psychology of D&D: How the game reads behind the screen and to each individual player is vastly different 12:00 Reader question: How to handle recklessly naïve PCs who keep trying to make friends with things they should run from ·        16:00 Demanding very-low DC insight checks to give players a final warning ·        18:00 Embracing multiple fail states to allow a negative outcome that doesn't destroy the party ·        20:00 The smackdown encounter the party can easily escape from ·        22:00 Give the rest of the party an opportunity to intervene ·        24:00 You COULD decide the outreach works in a way that fits your game world 25:00 Do you want to adjust the world to fit your player's understanding/assumptions/mistakes? 29:00 “You didn't have to do that!” When the NPCs do something the players really dislike — and they reject it 35:00 What do you do when an NPC ruins the players' fun? What if it ruins the DM's fun? 38:00 Is the DM getting blamed for the PCs having different goals? 41:00 The interrogation that went very, very wrong (And how much power should a tied-up NPC have?) 49:00 When players start to feel like they don't have agency and you're just pushing them around 53:00 How do you try to fix communication issues that are becoming toxic? 55:00 Did you step on a player character's big moment? 57:00 The Power of Ghatanothoa: What do you do when you reveal the power of the big bad, and players don't (or refuse to) recognize it? 66:00 How often do you ask the players what they're enjoying or not enjoying about the game? Or if they understand what's going on? 73:00 It's just a game: We bring ourselves to our characters and our tables, and in 2020, that can mean extra strain on the group 80:00 Reader question: How do you deal with players who don't provide character backstories? 86:00 Final thoughts Support this podcast

Dr. Gould has been treating obstructive sleep apnea in Manhattan Beach for several years before he was diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2015 himself. His research into the underlying cause of this strange new disease led him to create his new “Sleep Restoration Program” designed to change the public’s perception of the ever-growing epidemic of insomnia and sleep apnea. His upcoming book, “The Modern Epidemic,” describes a new organic health paradigm regarding treating autoimmune disease and chronic illness organically without pharmaceutical medications. The program focuses on sleep as an anti-aging and natural regeneration. His ultimate goal is to transform the world of insomnia, snoring, and sleep apnea with his unique sleep restoration program. Dr. Gould strongly feels that sleep disorders are both reversible and preventable, which opposes what is commonly accepted in medicine.

For this episode, we're doing something a little bit different. If you guys listen to episode number one, which I called ‘The Opener', I brought in my friend Kira Hug who is one of the only people I know who's better at asking questions than I am, to ask me questions about my story. I have given her a list of questions to ask me, just as a sample for reference, but she also hosts her own podcast called, The Copywriter Club with Rob Marsh, and I've been a big fan of the community they've built, the podcast that they've created and I joined her group just kind of like as a body in you know, full supportive what her and Rob are doing for copywriters. This podcast was originally inspired by what they were doing but just I wanted it to be on the design side. So, if you don't know her, she's a conversion copywriter expert who is really great in infusing your weird personality traits into all types of conversion copy. They run a ton of mentorship programs and masterminds over at the Copywriter Club Group and I recommend the podcast really heavily. So I'll introduce you to my friend Kira Hug and then let her ask the questions! Here's what we covered on the episode: I discuss how my perspective and my passion for design has grown immensely over the last 100 episodes I explain how I've falling more and more in love with design because of how it's used in our world, how it helps people, and has led me to know a bunch of amazing people in this field How I created the podcast to be a resource for designers, creatives and businesses who want to learn about the world of design without someone pushing their viewpoints and designs at them I give insight on what surprised me most about running a podcast and how it's a privilege to connect with people I don't know weekly. Why the podcast has allowed me give my clients a different perspective and build relationships in my business with people who I normally wouldn't have connected with Why I think if you're thinking about having a podcast, you should find a way to monetize it and build a system that works for you How I love being able to have something that is my own and having complete creative control over it makes me feel like I can make my own difference on this side of the world I get real and share my personal struggles of 2020 which include my mindset, everyone being home with me during this time, putting time and money into something and wanting the reward right away, and more How I deal with the struggle of ‘I'm not good enough' and how even creativing Conversion Design School™ was also a struggle, not because of the content but because of my mindset at first How I view myself versus how other designers view themselves and how my project management skills have set me apart and helped my clients Kira and I discuss how you might look at a person and think they have it all figured out when they don't and how I want to be known for my work individually and not because I worked with a big client so many years ago The best thing you can do is go all in for what you want, believe what you offer, be committed to the end result, and changing your mindset to believe it will happen For listeners wanting to go all in, find what you are an expert in, what people ask you about, consider investing in a mentor and just put your stuff out there and see if people are interested How I started teaching college classes because I wanted to become a better teacher and learn how to create the best course I can Why I think creating multiple sources of revenue within your business is very important because if plan A doesn't work out, at least you have plan B, C, D How being able to adapt to changes in the field, believing what you're doing, making sure you have support and revenue always coming in is where to start if you're looking to start My advice for designers who want to have multiple sources of revenue is to reach out to 20 people you know and tell them what you're up to; use the people you know to do business with and create a constant flow of income to invest back in your business I explain how the biggest and most impactful investment I've made would be my mentor Erika Lyremark I share some core lessons I learned from Erika including that I could create Conversion Design School™ without teaching development, finding my viewpoints and using them over and over again and the fact that I had Voxer access to her was huge to me How being a designer in 2020 takes a belief in your skills, understanding the customer journey, and takes knowing more than just opening up the Adobe programs Why thinking critically, taking feedback in a good way, be willing to listen, always working on your skills and finding your niche will only benefit your business How I think the world of design will go more digital in the next few years and how understanding what all really goes into a design with the copy, marketing message, placement, timing etc. will set those apart from who don't understand that Why you should consider the work you're doing and ask the questions: does this feel right to me, is this a good or bad fit for me, and is this good for the world? Instead of making it a PR movement I discuss how being involved in the community has made me an overall better person which is important when you run a personality driven business because people crave the connection How I want all people to feel included, especially when it comes to the podcast and how I believe every designer has something to share and can make a difference in someone else's life I discuss how we can make make sure our businesses are not exclusive and to make sure people always feel welcome and wanted How I want to better than a good person, I want to be making a difference Why having an end goal in mind and understanding that people may not buy from you is where you have to start when thinking about starting a community I share why I created my Facebook group as a safe place for designers to ask questions because there is so much judgement in this field and how if you want to create a community, you should do it with a bigger mission My goal and the goal of everyone should be to create a bigger impact in the design world, that's why I created my podcast - to give designers a voice, that's why I created my community Looking ahead I have a lot of great guests scheduled to be on the podcast who's fields are complementary to design Conversion Design School™ is brand new as of this month, how I updated the program and how you can check it out and learn more at melissaburkheimer.com How for the next month I'll be doing a lot of focus groups, surveying and getting on the phone with people to figure out my next steps I share that I will be opening up launch direction services again, and will probably be opening up some programs for design mentorships that haven't been done in over a year My bigger mission in life  is to get conversion design out there and educate people on how it can help them How designers, marketers and copywriters need to connect, communicate and collaborate together in order to have successful projects How I'm taking care of myself during these times, especially with being at home all the time Links mentioned: Episode 001 The Copywriter Club Podcast Conversion Design School™ Erika Lyremark's episode on The Design Business ShowMy sister Amanda's GoFundMe Page Like what you heard?

Practical steps created in the process of mental transition can also be a physical transition. A couple of years into my writing and coaching career, I noticed three things. Number one it's not scalable. If I wanted to make more money, I would have to take on more clients, work more hours. Number two, I was quickly getting tired of getting close to but not quite reaching my goal income of $10,000 a month. Number three, and this is real; my hands started to hurt from all the typing.   Not Every Decision You Make is Going to Be a Win   If you've been to a point where you've thought this could never happen for me, pivot your thinking. One of the things I've noticed is the multiple numbers of projects on my desktop that have been 'failures.' One of the things I've seen is that failure does not exist. These are all lessons I've learned. You either learn how to do better or learn how to pivot, but there is no failure.   Learn How to Walk   When a kid is learning how to walk, they're going to fall, trip, wobble. This is the process of learning something new for the first time. You're going to have a bunch of ideas in business that are not going to work. However, it would be best if you learned from them; this is a part of the journey, a part of the process. Learn to love the game; love this idea of mastery, and self-discovery because that's where the gold is.   Listen in to find out: How I transitioned from content writing to training Why you should have a Plan B, C and D How my mentor helped me create a way to successfully scale my business Why training and mentorship moved me forward Why your game shouldn't be giving up What boats you should burn and why you should burn them!

Welcome to Skulls of Wrath. Today I feature my interview with Rob Cavestany, founding member and guitar player for the Thrash metal band 'Death Angel'. www.facebook.com/deathangel The band got their start in the early 1980's in the Bay Area, coming up alongside, or rather apart of the emerging thrash metal scene.  Death Angel, alongside Sepultura are set to play three shows in New Zealand in May 2018. Tickets: https://metropolistouring.com/sepultura-death-angel-nz/ D: How’s it going with yourself and death angel, I assume you’re keeping yourselves busy these days?  R: Oh god yes- beyond. Keeping busy is an understatement with Death Angel that’s for sure. We keep busy, my man. I’m over here, actually, writing our next album right now- as we are in beween tours, before we come down there, and so this is the time to get creative and write. So, I’m in the writing mode, right now, and just getting a little exciting boost, thinking about our upcoming tour down there, as I’m doing press today. So, That’s actually coming in kind of a nice little break out of the studio to talk about our live shows and get all pumped up. D: How does that all work these days- the writing process and everything like that?  R: If kind of comes in different ways, and I like to allow it to happen that way, so it doesn’t get sterile and get stuck in the, like, some kind of step pattern. I just like to keep the organic feeling in the writing process, so I really just try to trust in the Gods of Music to give me some love and let it happen. So, generally in the early stages, I’m just going to go into my studio and pick up my guitar and just play and just see what’s happening that day. What kind of things are coming out, without trying hard or even thinking what so ever. If I’ll get lucky, then something will spark right there and I’ll just keep flowing with it. Like, if I get an idea, I’ll record it, I mean, when I’m doing this I’m recording everything I’m playing. I have my Pro Tools rig set up in my studio, so I realise that something might happen and I won’t remember what I just did or anything so definitely I don’t mess around and let something slip by without it getting recorded so that’s definitely a big part of the strategy. And then, I’ll listen back and see if anything sticks. If so, I’ll just start building off that. Then, next level, if nothing’s coming out in that way step out, take a breather, then come back in and playing with beats, so I’ll have like various ways to create beats in my Pro Tools and then I’ll start playing with different beats and jamming to drum beats, and maybe that sparks something. Usually something will get going after some point in time so then at that point I just start building- putting things together and seeing what might come next, rearranging things- that’s kind of the cool thing with Pro Tools now, is that you can easily / digitally rearrange things and listen back to how structures sound without having to keep on recording it over and over again. So, I’m putting things in different orders and checking it out. At that point it starts taking off, and I just roll with it. Unless, nothing’s stoking me, in which case that session was, oh well. But the way I see it, I just gotta keep going to the well and seeing what happens. Pretty much [that’s] how I get started. Then from that point on, when I’ll get a full on blue print of an entire song- basically a skeleton of the entire thing, then now I’ll try to mass a few songs- which that’s the part I’m at right now, where the next thing I’ll do is go down to our actual rehearsal studio- where our gear is set up and met up with Will [Carroll] our Drummer and play him the stuff and hopefully we’ll get all excited about what we’re listening to and come up with some ideas and stuff. He’ll get behind the kit, I’ll turn on my Amp and we’ll just start jamming on the stuff so we can see what kind of feel we get as human beings reacting to each other and try to reco

Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (Hyperloop TT) aspires to build 2,000 kilometers futuristic Hyperloop lines in China one day, says the firm's co-founder and chairman Bibop Gresta. "We are talking to five provinces right now. Guizhou is the first one we signed," Gresta told China Money Network during an interview on the sidelines of the Annual Meeting of the New Champions held by the World Economic Forum in Tianjin. https://youtu.be/Uw3a-Hi2yY8 Hyperloop TT has already sealed a deal with Guizhou province in China's southwestern region to build its first track in the country, the company said in an announcement two months ago. The deal marks the third commercial agreement for Hyperloop TT, following announcements on similar agreements in Abu Dhabi and Ukraine earlier in 2018. "In the future, we will not build, maintain or operate anything but act as a licensing company with enormous knowledge and intellectual property (IP) technologies," Gresta said. "In Guizhou, we are foreseeing a six-month feasibility study, and then 38 months to implement the first line. We are talking about an overview of a maximum of five years to add the first passenger in China. Then we are planning to roll out 2,000 kilometers in China." According to the People's Daily, the hyperloop project in Tongren, Guizhou province, is expected to cost about RMB10 billion (US$1.5 billion), covering a total distance of 60 kilometers (37.2 miles). The California-based Hyperloop TT focuses on building hyperloop systems enabling capsules to travel in a vacuum tube, an idea first proposed by technology magnate Elon Musk. The technology is said to be able to move capsules reaching speed of up to 1,223 kilometers per hour (760 mph). Hyperloop TT's ambitious plans in China comes at a time when the country is embroiled in a fierce trade war with the United States. The White House and U.S. President Donald Trump have repeatedly blamed China for unfair trade practices, IP infringements, and forced technology transfers. Gresta also discussed how his company deals with intellectual property protections when doing business in China. Read an interview Q&A below. Also subscribe to China Money Podcast for free in the iTunes store, or subscribe to our weekly newsletter. Q: For those who are not familiar, please give us a brief introduction of hyperloop Transportation Technologies? A: My company is the first company to bring Elon Musk's vision to travel inside a tube at the speed of sound into reality. Imagine putting a capsule full of people inside a tube, sucking the air out of the tube so there's no resistance, and you can move people from point A to point B at almost the speed of sound using a tiny fraction of energy. Sounds like science fiction but we are actually building it. Q: How much progress have you made in R&D? How ready is this technology now? A: We have finished all the testing and prototyping, and now construction has started. There is a big prototyping construction in Toulouse, France. It will be divided into two parts. One is 320 meters and the other is 1.4 kilometers. This is the certification track which will also be used to certify the technology. We have already started the development of the first commercial line in Abu Dhabi. Most recently, we signed a deal with the local government in Tongren City in Guizhou province to build the first commercial line in China. Q: Certainly, there is a lot of potential, but there are also lots of criticisms and questions about how the technology will be realistic in terms of costs and potential risks. One of those criticisms comes from the consideration for safety. Could you tell us a little bit about safety concerns and how do you plan to handle this issue?

节目名称：Screen Age 节目主题：West WorldD: Hello, everyone, I'm Didi, welcome to the Screen Age from May 11th, 2018Sh: On today's show we are gonna talk about West World. This is Sarah, your old friend. And Cynthia, Lucifer and Sara in Today's program(C: hello, L: hello, S: hello~) , and our new family members, Timothy and Vivian.( T: Hi, what's going on? V: hey, guys, new to the Screen Age. What's up?)D: So it's actually been a while since we have talked about TV series in our program. Do you remember when was it? Sh: To be honest, We haven't discussed any kind of TV drama since we joined the Screen Age.D: Umm, well, that doesn't matter! What's kick off today's show---West World is an American Sci-Fi TV drama, so our broadcast is full of splendid today. XX, have you ever thought about in the future world, all the people here are human-like robots, and you can do anything you like without punishment?Sh: Wow, that's what I always dream of. I would be a king. D: Haha, That's what this TV series is about. You must feel excited. Now, let's start!T: Hey, do you know "The West World" has been in its second season?D: I don't know, I haven't seen the show's first season yet. But I've heard of it. How is it?T: Dude, you haven't seen it yet? It's fabulous! You should go to see it!D: Okay, I would like to know what the show is about?T: It's a science fiction show which told a story about humans and robots. People built a park full of robots, and the robots here were designed to satisfy humans' desires such as the desire to kill.D: Wow! Sounds great! I'm kind of interested. So the robots don't know they are robots, right? T: Right, they treated people like tourists and friends.D: What's next? Did the robots resist?T: Yes, they did. The robots were wake up, and started to realize what humans done to them.D: I must say, it's very attractive to me. I like science fiction movies and teleplays a lot, especially those about robots. I can't wait to see it!T: There were three turning points in the first season which made the show a masterpiece.D: Awesome! What about season two?T: See it by yourself !V:Well,you know many people are crazy fans of the Westworld including me.So we are all looking forward to the second seasonS:Me too.I will follow it as soon as it updates. And have you ever predicted the plot of the it after watching the first season?V:Of course.When I saw the first season,I really felt pitiful about the fate of the robots,that human care nothing about the life of them and their life even the way of death are designed by others .So I guess that more and more robots will know the truth about the west world , they will control their own fate and begin to revolt in the second season.S:Wow,sounds cool.Actually if the robots have their own thoughts,they are no difference from human,they have life,have love and hate and also the long for fair.V:I agree with you.And I think one of reasons why the west world is so popular is it can arouse people's thinking about the human nature.S:You mean most of the human become demons, and without the bondage of the human world, they release their desires and enjoy the feeling of killing them.V:Yes,it is really terrifiedS: "Western world" based on a science fiction writer Michael's movie, HBO version of the "western world"use the concept of theme park in the novel, the plot is by Jonathan Nolan and his wife , joey.V: "Western world" is a big capital of HBO series, only ten plays'production costs up to $100 million (672 million yuan), and the first play's production is $25 million (168 million yuan) with propaganda cost more than 40 million.S: It's certainly not disappointing, with 12 million views on all platforms, and it is the most watched TV series of first season in 2016.V: The first play of "westworld" won the story with a new, thoughtful and in-depth review.S: "Westworld", the new series of HBO in 2016 has the potential to become a national concern. L: You know the Westworld is produced by HBO, Home Box Office. That's a big company with a history of more than forty years. It not only distributes TV series, but also movies, boxing and shows for kids. T: yep , of a wide range. But the series part is the most striking. Despite Westworld, there is still a lot of good works, like Sex and the City, Boardwalk Empire, and, of course Game of Thrones. L: you got me. Game of Thrones is my favorite show. From 2011 to now, it has already broadcast seven seasons, still remained a heated topic. T: The new season will be released in 2019, and it is said that some important roles will die. Just hope you're prepared. L: that's awful. But an attribute of American series is that they are not afraid to say anything. They go deep into humanity, deep into society ，raise tv series to an artistic height. T: It is worth noting that, there are no advertisements in HBO, which maybe means lower income. But it gives a more liberal creation environment to the directors and that always helps to become a high quality series. C: Do you know the director of West World?L: I just know him a little, but not very much. Would you like to tell something about him?C: Of course.Jonathan Nolan is a well-known name. He is the brother of famous director Christopher Nolan. As an editor and brother, he co-authored classic movies such as memory fragments, deadly Magic and Batman: the Dark Knight. He has always been a good writer of science fiction.L: Based on your introduction, I believe he is a really good director. Then, how about his action in Western World?C: Western World is an exciting work. Under the guidance of Nolan, who is good at telling stories, the series is logical and organized. Many flashes of detail need to be savoured. Like a fly that appears more than once in the play.L: The director made a great difference on it. It's highly expected that he will creat more exciting works.D: How cool this TV play is! It seems that human have been not content with online game but started to create the high-tech adult park. Meanwhile, the experience will be more exciting and more real.Sh: Yes. And, in this TV series, the robots also become different from the imagination in our traditional minds.D: In a word, it is so amazing! Although I haven't seen it, I seem to be the fan of it.Sh: Right. It deserves to recommend to our audiences.D: Sure. We can see it together and have a further discussion.Sh: OK. Now, It's time to say goodbye to our dear audiences. See you next week.D: See you. 感谢制作刘栢霖!

We hired Carnegie Hall! We can barely believe it either.

Given the choice between a heart transplant and a gluten-free diet, the vast majority – if not all – of us would quickly opt for the diet! Yet the medical community continues to ignore celiac disease as a potential cause of cardiac complications, despite documented connections between the two conditions. The Gluten Free RN is sharing her experience with heart attack and stroke victims in the ER, and discussing the necessity of screening cardiac patients for celiac disease. She gets into the nitty gritty of how intestinal damage leads to nutrient deficiencies that affect the cardiac system, and reveals the cardiac symptoms that may resolve on a gluten-free diet. Listen in and learn about the actual cause of heart attack and stroke (spoiler alert – it’s not high cholesterol) and how Nadine has achieved a lipid panel akin to that of a ‘23-year-old marathon runner’! What’s Discussed:  The connection between cardiac issues and celiac disease Study linked celiac disease to almost doubled risk of CAD Documented connection between gluten and cardiomyopathy The real cause of heart attack and stroke Thought to be high cholesterol Actual cause is inflammation/malabsorption How a gluten-free diet can resolve cardiomyopathy Medical community claims cardiomyopathy can be treated with meds, but not cured Patient eventually needs heart transplant Anecdotal evidence proves that removing gluten may cure profound heart failure Nadine’s experience in treating cardiac patients as a critical care nurse in the ER ER staff does not take a magnesium panel Deficiencies in magnesium or calcium can cause arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat) Even when patient tested for ‘everything,’ celiac disease and nutritional panels often omitted How to correct a magnesium deficiency Food (pumpkin seeds, molasses, etc.) Magnesium supplements (including calcium, zinc and vitamin D) How intestinal damage leads to nutrient deficiencies that affect the cardiac system Thiamine deficiency may lead to wet beriberi or acute pernicious beriberi Low electrolytes may lead to arrhythmia Low iron, B vitamin may lead to anemia (less oxygen in blood) Low vitamin K levels affects protein S and protein C levels (involved in clotting) Cardiac symptoms that may resolve on a gluten-free or Paleo diet Arrhythmias Chest pain Difficulty breathing The myth that fat is bad for us Nadine consumes a super-good high fat diet Her lipid panel ‘looks like a 23-year-old marathon runners’ Cardiac risk factor very low Nadine’s call for a worldwide mass screening for celiac disease Find undiagnosed Prevent cardiac disease, stroke Resources: “Celiac Disease Linked to Almost Doubled Risk of CAD” by Marlene Busko PubMed Gluten Toxicity: The Mysterious Symptoms of Celiac Disease, Dermatitis Herpetiformis, and Non-Celiac Gluten Intolerance by Shelly L.

In todays episode I talk to one of the best experts within the field of Vitamin D. Michael F. Holick  is an American endocrinologist, specializing in the field of vitamin D, such as the identification of both calcidiol, the major circulating form of vitamin D, and calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D. His work has been the basis for diagnostic tests and therapies for vitamin D-related diseases. He is a professor of medicine at the Boston University Medical Center and editor-in-chief of the journal Clinical Laboratory. Holick made discoveries in the field of vitamin D that have led to novel therapies for metabolic bone diseases, hypocalcemic disorders, and psoriasis. He is author of more than 400 publications about the biochemistry, physiology, metabolism and photobiology of vitamin D and the pathophysiology of vitamin D deficiency. He is also the author of the book The Vitamin D solution . He has also been involved with an incredible app about how much you need to be in the sun. It uses GPS and lightsensors and you can find the app her. In todays episode we talk about the following: What is vitamin D Is it possible to reduce the risk of the flu by as much as 42% Vitamin D controls over 200 genes in the cardiovascular system Reduce the risk of heart attack by 50% Lack of Vitamin D causes higher blood pressure How much vitamin D your body needs every single day Is it possible to take too much grants What are the symptoms of too little D vitamin Why is vitamin D so incredibly important to us What diseases can you get because of little vitamin D How long do you have to be in the sun to limit the likelihood of high blood pressure and illnesses. Do you live in Norway, your body does NOT produce vitamin D 6mth of the year. Are you born in the winter you have a higher risk of Schizophrenia later in life. Higher vitamin D values educe the risk of caesarean section by 200 to 300% How high values hould you have while you are pregnant How much D Vitamin should have small children every day Why your skin turns red when you're in the sun? Use of sunscreen The most dangerous form of skin cancer occurs when you do not get sun.   Follow me on Instagram:link  Facebook: @mtfranknilsen     See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's the most commonly believed lie. It will make you lose all your money. It'll make you wake up in your 40's or 50's and wonder what you're going to do about retirement. It will make you develop your worst possible habits.   For me, it was drinking. And waking up face to floor. I was ugliest when I was unhappy. That's true for everyone.   Unless you hide it with plastic surgery and cocaine.   The point is I care about myself now. And not a lot of people say that.   But it's important.   I should care about me more than anyone else... even my daughters. But sometimes I mess up. Sometimes I love them more than me.   Even on airplanes, they say, "Put your mask on before assisting others." If you put a mask on your baby before you put a mask on yourself, your baby will never know who you could've been.   If I don't put my oxygen mask on first everyday, then my kids, my friends, everyone I meet, won't know who I really am.   They won't know me at my best. They'll know me passed out on the floor because I tried starving myself for three days (it was a fast. I was trying to detox my body. Again this goes back to caring about yourself. Molly, Josie, I swear, I had good intentions.)   Let me get back to the most commonly believed lie.   It's called the sunk cost fallacy. This is when you stick to what you're doing because you already invested your whole life in it.   For example, you won't quit your job (the job you hate) because that's what you went to college for or because you've been doing it for 20 years and change is scary.   I studied computer science. I went to graduate school for it.   But now I do what I love. Because I gave up.   I had to give up on life's little stresses and jump head first into an even bigger stress. It took me one step closer to bottom. And one step closer to the lifeboat.   I have a friend. She's 52. Or 53, divorced. She has a "low-level" job. Or that's what she says.   She thinks her goals are out of reach. She says, "I can't do it." And she believes it. So I asked my friend Susan David, (she's a Ph.D) "How can you help someone like that? How can you help someone struggling with life's circumstances?"   But I was asking the wrong question. Because she told me the stress people experience everyday isn't (usually) caused by massive life events.   "There's a particular kind of stress that, in psychology, we call allostatic stress," Susan said, "It's the everyday stress."   I was interviewing her about her book, "Emotional Agility: Get Unstuck, Embrace Change, and Thrive in Work and Life."   She gave 50 or 100 tips to do exactly what the subtitle of her book says, "Get Unstuck, Embrace Change, and Thrive in Work and Life."   1) Accept it "Accept that you aren't where you want to be," Susan said. "Be with those difficult emotions."   She said we get stuck in two ways. One is "bottling." The second is "bruting." Bottling is when someone traps emotions inside. They ignore their feelings.   Bruting is when someone obsesses about emotions. And try to determine what happened and why...   They both cause high levels of anxiety.   So I had to stop asking, "Why?"   2) Choose "want-to" goals I have four main values. They're in my daily practice.   Values are the things you want to do versus the things you have to do. Because "have to" goals are less likely to be successful.   So I asked Susan, "What if you don't know what your values are?"   "We often turn around and say, 'How did I get here?'   "I was just going on with flow. I was just doing what everyone else told me to do. I went to college. I got a job. I got a house... How did I get her?' This is a really difficult place for people to be" she said. "What's really critical for all of us to realize is values are not some abstract idea. Values are ways of living, ways of being."   Figure out your values. Susan says, at the end of the day ask yourself, "What did I...

Values are ways of living, ways of being.” Figure out your values. Susan says, at the end of the day ask yourself, “What did I do today that was worthwhile?” I watched a plane move through the sky today. I held the door for someone. I smiled at someone who looked dangerous… someone who probably isn’t smiled at often. Those were worthwhile moments. I’m also writing… It’s a “want-to” goal that I hope to have for the rest of my life...  but who knows, sometimes reinvention has new ideas for you. 3) Make “towards” moves There are two types of movements. Everything you do is either a “toward” or an “away” movement. “If I value my health, I can go downstairs and choose an ice cream, which is an ‘away’ move or I can make a choice that is healthier,” Susan said. 4) Watch for setbacks “When you have a setback you’re more likely to revert back to an old bias you falsely believe,” she said. I made an “away” move. I stopped writing my daily gratitude list. And then I started complaining. It was a domino effect. But I caught it early. Setbacks happen everyday to everyone. I just have to watch for them. I’m not immune. I asked Susan about her setbacks. I wanted to know what drove her to this study. “As you can hear from my accent, I didn’t grow up in the U.S.” “I thought that was a Brooklyn accent,” I said. “When I was growing up, your chances of learning how to read and write were lower than your chances of being raped,” she said. “So from a very early age, I became interested in how people were dealing or not dealing with the chaos that was going on around them.” Susan was 25 years old the first time she could safely go for a walk. She’s from South Africa. She lived there for 25 years. Then moved to New York. -- I’ve spent a lot of time trying to get rid of stress. But I spent more building it. The lie we all believe is that you have to stick with it. You can’t quit. You are what you are. But that’s not true. You are what you choose to be tomorrow. I chose to be a writer, podcaster, father, angel investor, interrupter, chess master. I chose not to be a computer scientist or to walk the streets of NY waiting for a coconut to save my life. Susan called it “the physics of willpower”… It’s when you finally decide your investments are failing you. A lot of people feel deeply stuck in their lives. I have, too. But the way out begins when you accept what you really want: reinvention. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Player for audio file at end of text. Welcome to Episode III of the Infinite Potential Series. Opening wide the eye of the heart. Episodes I & II discussing Radical Life Extension - slowing the aging process and threats to humanity's existence were both exciting and stressful. How do we have good, better than good, wonderful lives in spite of the worldwide crisis in consciousness, the chaos and turmoil as the old world order fades and something new is being born? A: I assert there are learning experiences that, like a rising tide, has the potential to lift all our ships. And for those who (get the hang of this concept) mindfulness become aware enough - the tide transforms to a creative wind of self actualization beneath our wings. There are simple, powerful, established principles. Self knowledge tools hidden in plain view. Overlooked Jewels just lying around. D: If these concepts are so obvious why don't more people apply them? A: Part of it is conditioning. It is hard to break free of cultural trances. Using media to condition people increases power and profit. D: How does the ordinary human being transform the quality of day to day life? How do we even begin to talk about it? A: One good way might be to recognize that there is a science and art to bringing about healthy change. Self regulation is part of it. Self regulation includes stress science and to learn it and practice it costs nothing. Actually it is profitable. The good news is that the rate of change for all of us is increasing. That is also the bad news. That means we need to learn excellent self regulation skills and we need to apply them on a full time, top priority, emergency basis. D: You have been presenting the notion of radical or extreme self regulation and stress management training for a long time. A: Excellent self regulation skills are necessary in order to reduce suffering, accumulate energy, make thinking more coherent, clarify the mind and increase creativity. Don't you think? D: Of course, but sounds like hard work. It should also be fun. A: It can be. But I think doing the best one can to learn and apply change, that is self regulation mind body strategies is choiceless. What is the alternative? In Episodes I an II we have tried to set the stage for what I think is, perhaps, the greatest adventure of mind, body, spirit a human being can have. Self regulation leads to self knowledge which unfolds life changing potential. D: Everyone wants to understand how to better handle the crises that come to us all. A lot of people find understanding their own minds painfully difficult. A: We all have become discouraged, even depressed at times because getting results with our own minds seems so complicated, illusive. It is possible to help some people discover actions and ways to work which can produce breakthroughs - often amazingly fast. Also, we learn in The Process... D: How far can we go in Episode III? A: We can make a productive, start. If we move too fast some may feel overwhelmed and lost. D: Too slow and some may feel bored. A: It's a delicate dance. We must use language carefully so we all understand the meanings of words that are key to the process of mindfulness - of consciousness. English is a young language and scientists working on consciousness are defining and redefining words that we use all the time but often misunderstand - and assume we know the meanings of. Words like happiness, consciousness, thinking , attention, creativity, meditation, contemplation, mindfulness, mindfitness, awareness, self regulation, stress science, spirituality even words like atheism, agnosticism and religious have different meanings to many people. We can prevent much misunderstanding and gain lots of insight if we are clear about our definitions of words. Older, more mature languages such as Sanskrit, Tibetan, Pali, Greek, Chinese, Aramaic, Hebrew and others have words for describing subtle qualities of consciousness - of mind - which are difficult to translate into English. Scientists and others are working to bring those words and concepts into English and other modern languages. This process is a most beautiful art, science and technology. D: The word is not the thing and the description is not the described. A: Yet words are necessary. We can't assume everyone understands them in the same way. D: You say self regulation and stress management is a critically necessary foundation for improving the quality of life. Some might not agree. Can you explain that better? A: Let me answer briefly and then I'd like to focus on just one critically important word. After that we will probably be out of time for Episode III. We will go more deeply in Episode IV. D: What word would you like to start with? A: How about happiness? D: Great. Now why is radical self regulation and stress management so important? A: To increase the quality of life one must increase the quality of consciousness. Enhancing consciousness takes tremendous energy. A bucket full of holes wastes all the water you pour into it. If a person is not practicing self regulation and stress managment competently then they are like a bucket full of holes and cannot accumulate the quantity and quality of energy necessary to enhance their own mental capabilities - consciousness. Paradoxically, low energy causes psychesthenia which means over thinking and disassociation. Furthermore, psychesthenic thoughts tend to be incoherent and fearful which further drives unhealthy stress and blocks creativity and awareness. Conversely, reducing the maladaptive stress response allows energy to build, the brain to run quieter leading to more coherent thinking. In addition, the alpha theta brain wave mix gets richer causing an increase in creative imagery. Self regulation increases awareness, mindfulness which increases ability to watch thinking more clearly. This causes thinking to become even more coherent. Using Maslow's stages of actualization, I believe we tend to self actualize in proportion to how well we watch ourselves think. So, in a sense, all a person has to do is quiet the voluntary nervous system (muscles), which leads to balancing the autonomic system (emotions) which further leads to quieting the central nervous system which leads to the stabilization of attention which leads to ... D: Learning how to transform the moments of life. Mindfulness? A: Perfect. Being a serial transformer of one's own reality. D: What role does faith play? A: For some people their belief, religious, agnostic or atheistic can be a powerful form of self regulation and stress management. D: Krishnamurti once said, "As we are concerned with the total development of the student and not of any one particular aspect, attention which is all inclusive becomes important. This total development is not conceptual - that is, there is no blueprint of the totality of the human mind. The more the mind uses of itself, the greater is its potentiality. The capacity of the mind is infinite." A: That's inspirational. D: We'll come back to self regulation later but now what is happiness? How do we understand it? Is it an illusion? A: Your joie de vie is one of the greatest gifts life has given me. Through happiness and sorrow, you are the happiest person I've ever known. So what do you think? D: I'm so grateful for my life but I was trying to speak for our listeners. A: In our culture most people like to learn through the medium of science. For example, Martin Seligman one of the most influential psychologists has studied happiness for decades. He is a Fourth Wave psychologist who is advancing the field called Positive Psychology. Since the forties psychology has been almost completely focused on treating disorders. The medical model. To psychology's credit these treatments have reduced the total tonnage of suffering in the world. However, Seligman wants psychologists and educators like us to help people who are more or less functional to focus on unfolding hidden potentials - to increase creativity, the joy in their lives. Rather than helping people go from say a -5 to a -2 he wants us to think in terms of helping people go from a +2 to a +6. Instead of focusing on what's wrong with you and trying to fix it, let's focus on what's right with you and amplify that. To increase the total tonnage of happiness in the world. D: But what, exactly is happiness? A: Happiness is a vague term for many things. Seligman describes three major kinds of happiness which are workable in today's world. It is interesting that they correlate well with Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs and stages of actualization. D: You mentioned him before. Who is he? A: A famous psychologist who inspired Seligman. Abraham Maslow taught that humans can actualize their potential and codified some of the stages of actualization which can also be thought about as stages or levels or dimensions of consciousness. D: Decades ago you began suggesting that teaching self regulation to people who were already functional could bring about a greater benefit to society than working with the sick ones. A: Ouch! that sounds pretty cold hearted. Healing the sick is critically important as well. I would have been dead long ago several times over if it were not for expert and timely medical care. As you, know your medical skills saved my life at least once. But I think we have to get both jobs done. The idea is that raising the consciousness of the relatively strong is the best way to raise the consciousness of the electorate and thereby bring improved benefits to everyone including those who are in trouble. For decades I focused on the clinical applications of biofeedback and self regulation and it was a wonderful way to earn a living. But now we have the opportunity to go back to our first love. Positive psychology, life and performance enhancement training is an even greater challenge than clinical treatment. It has been encouraging to see many psychologists and scientists come to similar perspectives. Seligman, for example, has spread these concepts throughout psychology and education with his foundation, books, conferences, website, etc. D: You mentioned three kinds of happiness. A: I think I could make a case for a fourth level. D: Ways of improving one's own mind have been learned by countless people in times past. But somehow mindfulness skills have to be discovered anew within the context of one's own life and culture - as though for the first time ever. The wheel getting rediscovered over and over. A: The fact that we humans can enhance our consciousness and pursue our view of happiness is one of the most interesting, challenging and beautiful aspects of being alive - the essence of being a human being. Upgrading our own mind/bodies is easy to desire but challenging to do. Within the last few decades most scientists including avowed atheists such as Sir Francis Crick and Christopher Koch as well as those of mystical or religious orientations have come to consider the emerging science of consciousness (which includes neuroscience) the most important and most complicated science of our time. One of the science writers, John Horgan said something like "compared to the science of consciousness, particle physics is like a 10 piece jig saw puzzle of Snow White." Leading scientific neurophilosophers including Penrose, Einstein, Bohm, Hammeroff, et al seem to believe that neuroscience, arguably all sciences, emerge from the far more immense and subtler field of consciousness. The debate rages as to what consciousness is and how it arises. However, there is already a great deal known about what ordinary people can do to improve qualities of mind including emotions. D: Happiness? A: Atta girl. Keep me on track. I tend to wander off. D: Happiness!!!! Please. A: The first kind of happiness could be called the pleasant life and consists of having as many positive emotions as you can and learning how to strengthen them. At least six skills have been documented which can help build and amplify positive emotions. Seligman calls this the pleasant life, the Hollywood view of happiness, "the Debbie Reynolds smiley, giggly" view of happiness. D: He is being a bit unfair. She's had plenty of tough times. Besides our younger audience might not know who she is. A: That's right. None the less, there is this upbeat, popular, sometimes superficial notion of happiness. It works for many people who are not yet motivated to go deeper. Of course, suffering and conflict inevitably comes and one must learn more and go deeper than settling for the "pleasant life". D: Hopefully, learning how to transform suffering into something else - wisdom, compassion, a sense of humor. Not taking ourselves too seriously. A: Do you think I take myself too seriously? D: Oh no. Not you dear! A: There is much more to life than pleasure and pleasantness. Yet lots of people are caught up in the pursuit of this form of happiness. D: Then tough times comes in every life, and we have to go deeper inside ourselves while increasing awareness outside at the same time. A: The notion that there is never supposed to be depression and pain and sorrow and fear in life is ridiculous. It happens to all of us. It is part of being a human being. D: It is what one does with emotional trauma and adversity that makes the difference in life isn't it? So, what's the 2nd form of happiness? A: The Greeks had a concept called Eudaimonia. A superficial translation is the good life, the flourishing life. This could be seen as a second stage of happiness which takes a lot of common sense and contact with reality and continuous learning. People like Thomas Jefferson and Aristotle and Plato had Eudaimonia in mind when they referred to the pursuit of happiness. They talked about the pleasures of contemplation and good conversation. They were not talking about raw feeling, thrills, orgasms, smiling and giggling a lot - though they all have their place. They were talking about what Mike Csikszentmihalyi calls "Flow". When one has a good conversation, when one contemplates, meditates well, when one is in eudaimonia you are, at least at that moment, experiencing the good life. There is less self-consciousness, one is one with the music. There is a timeless quality. I've termed this fourth dimensional consciousness because of the shift in time and space orientation and enhanced multi dimensional sensitivity. D: It seems so simple, so obvious - the good life. Why is it so difficult for most to grasp - to learn? A: Probably unhealthy conditioning. Faulty programs running around in the brain. D: So one must decondition oneself? A: Yes. But it might be better if we go a little more slowly as reducing unhealthy conditioning is difficult and mysterious for most people. Although, reducing unhealthy conditioning sometimes happens fast and relatively easily if certain insights are achieved - if the mind is effectively used. But it takes what I call Profound Attention. High quality, sustained attention. Which by itself improves consciousness. D: And thinking. And creativity. And energy. Sustained attention is one of the principles underlying the MindFitness Training, isn't it? A: Yes. We begin very simply, basically and then try to move at whatever speed is appropriate for each individual. Beginning with making sure the learner has excellent skills for reducing unhealthy, maladaptive stress. D: There is healthy stress? A: It is called eustress - from the Greek euphoria. Stress means change. Life is change so life is stress. But some change is good for you and some change is bad for you. My career in biofeedback was largely devoted to learning the best, fastest ways to reduce unhealthy stress or change and increase healthy stress or change. D: So stress management - at least very skillful reduction of unhealthy stress leads to the good, the flourishing life - eudaimonia? A: I say radical or extreme stress science and managment definitely does. The good life emerges as one learns to practice what Csikszentmihalyi calls flow. One must discover what his or her signature strengths are - that is self knowledge. Then, apply those strengths - using them more in work, romance, friendships, play, and parenting. Apparently, the more you deploy your highest strengths the more flow you get in life. I think of this quality of flow as being a property of what I call fourth dimensional consciousness. We all have suffering and pain and adversity. Eudaimonia implies considerable skill at transforming adversity, depression, sorrow, anger, fear - somehow- into the creative process - into living ever more creatively. Which transforms the quality of daily life. I assert this is skill learning. D: It is encouraging to discover that science, psychology is really working on a positive psychology. A: Did you know that the DSM has added a classification of strengths and virtues - sort of the opposite of the classification of the insanities? D: What is the DSM? A: Its the diagnostic manual used by psychologists and other professionals. The DSM now lists six virtues which are supported across virtually all cultures and these break down into 24 strengths. There is a wisdom and knowledge cluster, a courage cluster, a cluster for virtues like love and humanity, a justice cluster, a temperance, moderation cluster and finally a spirituality, transcendence cluster. Seligman has questionnaires on his website that have been devised to help individuals gain insight into their strengths and weaknesses. D: There is a third kind of happiness? A: The third kind of happiness correlates with a rather high order of actualization and I think is a natural outcome of living the good life, eudaimonia. There is a hunger to go further. The power to go even further seems to be fueled by the virtually inevitable increase of energy and resources eudaimonia generates. There is inevitably a sense of gratitude. D: It seems to me gratitude further increases energy and creativity. A: One discovers one is part of something much larger than oneself. An even deeper meaning emerges out of the immensity of life. D: And death. Death really is part of life isn't it? A: Clearly. This Deeper meaning in life can have many manifestations including "prepackaged" ones like organized religion, political parties, etc. And then there are non prepackaged ones like teaching and bringing change of some sort. This is what we are trying to do. There is usually a feeling of service that somehow brings great meaning and profound happiness. You feel truly needed. D: One feels more passionate. The melody needs the note as the note needs the melody. A: Yes. It goes way beyond just doing it for the money. One who has come this far probably doesn't get up in the morning totally focused on making more money; it's more likely in service of something much larger. A lawyer can be a lawyer only so he can make a half million dollars per year. This is not a particularly meaningful life. This lawyer can, on the other hand, be a lawyer in service of good counsel, fairness, and justice. That's an example of a non prepackaged form of meaning. D: And sometimes she might still make a half million a year. A: Sometimes, but it may be more difficult. Positive psychology is leading to a sea change in psychology and education - from a therapeutic model to a coaching model. The therapeutic model is about finding out what's wrong with you and fixing what is broken. The coaching model is about finding out what is right with you - something you may not be aware of - and getting you to use it more and more. D: What role do drugs play in improving the mind? A: Drugs are so complicated. What is a drug? In general the technique most used to determine the effectiveness of a drug are the changes a drug produces in brain wave patterns. Gambling, alcohol, many illegal drugs, sexuality, music, sports, produce as much or greater changes in brain wave patterns than most prescribed drugs. Because time is short, let's focus on what we usually mean by legal drugs - particularly those that must be prescribed by an MD as treatment for mental problems. D: Many people feel their drugs or medications make them feel happier. A: Seligman points out that there are clearly some drug short cuts for bringing about the pleasant life. But he feels if there are short cuts for bringing about the good life - eudaimonia they are probably not drug related. And he thinks high levels of meaningfulness require mind powers that are way beyond what drugs can do. D: What about psychogens, alcohol, marihuana, cocaine, etc. Some feel they can stimulate the creative process. A: That is a huge question which I would like to look into in a later Episode. Staying with prescribed drugs for now, there are two kinds of medications. There are palliatives, cosmetics like quinine for malaria which suppresses the symptoms for as long as you take them. When you stop taking quinine the malaria returns full force. Then there are curative drugs like antibiotics for bacterial infection. When you stop taking those the bacteria are dead and don't recur. Seligman says the dirty little secret of biological psychiatry is that every single drug in the psychopharmia is palliative. That is they are all symptom suppressers, and when you stop taking them you are back at square one. For example, serotonin and the earlier trycyclic antidepressants work about 65% of the time. Interestingly, the two major forms of psychotherapy for depression - cognitive therapy and interpersonal therapy - are a tie. They work about 65% of the time. The difference is in relapse and recurrence. In psychotherapy you actually learn a set of skills that you remember, so three years later when depression comes back you can apply those skills again. But if you had serotonin or trycyclic antidepressants, three years later when it comes back it comes back in full force. So that's part one - the psychoactive drugs are palliative only, not curative....so the question is, are we likely to find drugs that work on the pleasant life, the good life and the meaningful life? Probably yes for the pleasant life. Obviously there are drugs that can affect positive emotions. Richard Davidson and other researchers are beginning to identify parts of the brain that influence emotion. There are already recreational drugs some of which I have experimented with. Antidepressants don't usually stimulate pleasure but recreational drugs do. The drug companies have been exploiting this for a long time. Clearly there are drug shortcuts to pleasure. But eudaimonia - flow - the good life probably doesn't have short cuts unless we call profound learning experiences a short cut. There is this notion that the more one uses the brain the greater its capacity. And no one can prove so far that it's capacity is not relatively infinite. Profound learning can be fast - in a flash as insight. So that's what contemplation and meditation are all about. I don't see a shortcut to learning flow. We have to use our highest strengths in order to enter into eudaimonia. I doubt that there are drugs that can bring this about. Of course, that is controversial. Unless, we are talking about nootropics. D: Nootropics? A: Smart Drugs. The third form of happiness, which is bringing more meaning into your life requires knowing yourself even better and using your strengths in the service of something you believe is larger than you are. There are clearly drugs which can enhance sensual pleasure - at least temporarily and there seems to be a pharmacology of positive emotion. But it is unlikely there'll be an interesting pharmacology of flow or eudaimonia and I agree with Seligman's notion that a true pharmacology of meaning seems impossible. Unless we are talking about vitamins, nootropics and the like. I assert the secret to eudaimonia, flow and bringing ever deeper meaning to life naturally unfolds from living mindfully. The greater percentage of time one can be mindful the greater the natural unfolding of higher orders of happiness. Living mindfully is the goal of Mindfitness. Learning how to do this is what you and I mean by contemplation and meditation. But to make these principles usable and understandable for more people I think requires innovative use of language and creative coaching. That is what we and others are trying to do. D: Earlier, you mentioned that you think there might even be a fourth form of happiness. A: I don't think there is any purpose in discussing it at this point. Maybe at a later Episode. D: Why not now? A: We have so much, maybe several episodes to go to do even a minimal job with Eudaimonia and the meaningful life - something much larger than oneself. After all, we are focused on being practical. That means anchoring the basics first. D: Does working on the Infinite Potential Series add meaning to your life? A: It does. D: How so? A: Two ways. First I get to research, absorb myself in learning about the mind, my own mind - the bigger Mind. Second, this is a chance to be of service to something bigger than I am - infinitely bigger. What about you? D: You do the work and research. A: You make my life work so all I have to do is what I love to do - this is play - as the Greeks would say, Layla. D: Thanks for the acknowledgment and I'd like to thank our audience for listening. We will go further with Episode IV. Until then relax as much as you can and use your signature strengths to unfold the flourishing life for yourself. May you find yourself in flow - Eudaimonia. A: Thanks for the help, Dagne. D: Thank you, Adam.
