In a single verse, the Quran encodes a precise mathematical conversion between the solar and lunar calendars — a calculation that would take human science centuries to confirm.Surah Al-Kahf (Chapter 18, Verse 25) describes the People of the Cave as remaining "300 years — and add nine." That phrasing is not poetic licence. It is a mathematical statement: 300 solar years equal exactly 309 lunar years, because the lunar calendar falls short of the solar by 11 days every year.This was revealed in 7th-century Arabia, to a people who had no tools to verify it.**THE MATHEMATICS BEHIND THE MIRACLE****The Verse**The Quran, in Surah Al-Kahf (Chapter 18, Verse 25), describes the People of the Cave:*"And they remained in their cave three hundred years, and add nine."*For centuries, readers wondered why the verse didn't simply say "three hundred and nine years." Why phrase it as 300 — *and add nine?***The Two Calendars**There are two ways to measure a year:- A **solar year** (based on the Earth orbiting the Sun) = approximately 365.25 days- A **lunar year** (based on the cycles of the Moon) = approximately 354.37 daysThe difference between them is about **11 days every year**. Over centuries, that small gap adds up.**The Calculation**- 300 solar years × 365.25 days = **109,575 days**- 109,575 days ÷ 354.37 days (one lunar year) = **309 lunar years**In other words: **300 solar years equal exactly 309 lunar years.**The Quran gave both figures in a single verse — 300 (solar) *and add nine* (to reach 309 lunar) — describing the same span of time in both calendar systems at once.**The Context**This was revealed in 7th-century Arabia, to a people who counted time by the moon and had no means of calculating the precise drift between solar and lunar years. The mathematics to verify this with certainty would not be widely available for over a thousand years.**Conclusion**A strange, exact addition — "and add nine" — turns out to be a precise mathematical conversion between two calendar systems. This is one of the many numerical signs found within the Quran.*This is not the word of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It is the word of Allah, who made the sun and the moon.*

In this special "After Hours" episode, hosts Damien Greathead and Penny Breslin sit down with Steven Ladd — recovering engineer, serial entrepreneur, and small business advisor — to explore what it really means to serve small business owners beyond the debits and credits.Steven shares his journey from engineer to entrepreneur to advisor, and how working with small businesses during COVID revealed a hard truth: most owners don't have a financial foundation — and most advisors don't know how to connect with them on a human level.In this episode, you'll hear about:Why speaking plain English (not EBITDA) changes everythingThe "Lemonade Stand" model for helping owners understand their own businessWhat the Catalyst program looks like in practice — and what real value delivery looks like in the first 90 daysThe difference between a compliance mindset and a true advisory relationshipWhy the best advisors ask great questions rather than have all the answersWhether you're an accountant looking to move into advisory, or a bookkeeper ready to offer more value, this conversation will give you the confidence and framework to take that next step.0:00 – Introduction & Welcome 0:22 – About the "After Hours" format 0:54 – Recap of previous episode: Defining Advisory Services 1:51 – Penny introduces Steven Ladd 4:17 – Steven's background: Engineer → Entrepreneur → Advisor 5:09 – Working with small businesses through COVID 8:28 – How Steven describes what he does: "Love and Systems" 10:40 – Why jargon (like EBITDA) gets in the way 16:35 – What the Catalyst program looks like in practice 17:10 – The "Lemonade Stand" model for business clarity 24:15 – After the Catalyst: bookkeeping options & the fork in the road 29:13 – Empowering owners to become the Operator 31:15 – How big is Steven's company?

For most of her creative life, Charuka Arora Founder of Arts to Hearts Project believed creative success belonged to a certain kind of person people from the right city, the right family, the right circles. She did not see herself in that picture. A decade of building Arts to Hearts Project changed her mind.After six years of building Arts to Hearts Project and interviewing more than 200 artists, curators, gallerists, and art fair founders, she has come to say something out loud: she was completely wrong. In this episode of Season 6 of the Arts to Hearts Podcast, Charuka walks listeners through the evidence that changed her mind and the one pattern she keeps seeing on repeat in every person who has built something real in the creative world. She also shares the hardest part of her own story pulling herself together to show up for this podcast and this community in the weeks after losing her mom in 2021 and why those days ended up mattering more than she understood at the time.The episode explores:Why 90 percent of the successful people she has interviewed came from no privilege at allThe real reason some artists' careers suddenly "compound" after years of nothingWhy commitment to one direction beats waiting to find the perfect oneHow a simple collage series she emailed outsold within three daysThe two kinds of people who see a problem and which one actually builds a careerWhat she would say to anyone sitting in a corner right now thinking this isn't for themThis conversation feels less like career advice and more like an honest reminder that meaningful creative work is usually built slowly, quietly, and long before anybody else notices it.If you have ever felt behind, late, small, or unqualified for the life you want this episode is the permission slip you didn't know you were waiting for.

Berlin wasn't blockaded — and that changes everything you think.Was Berlin really “blockaded” in 1948? Or have we been repeating a Cold War myth for nearly eighty years?In this explosive episode of History Rage, cultural historian and author Joseph Pearson dismantles one of the most entrenched narratives of the early Cold War. We all know the story: Stalin sealed off West Berlin, starving its people, and the West heroically saved the city through the Berlin Airlift. But what if Berlin was never truly blockaded at all?Drawing on deep archival research and firsthand accounts from Berliners, Pearson argues that the term “blockade” is historically misleading. While ground and rail access from West Germany was restricted, movement between East and West Berlin continued. Civilians crossed borders. Food flowed in. Even Soviet authorities offered rations. The airlift was real — and extraordinary — but the idea of a city completely sealed off is far more myth than fact.We explore:What a “blockade” actually means — and why the word mattersHow ordinary Berliners experienced the airliftThe women who built Tegel Airport in just 90 daysThe terrifying near-misses that could have sparked World War IIIThe propaganda war that turned former enemies into alliesWhy the Berlin Airlift remains a masterclass in geopolitical brinkmanshipJoseph Pearson, originally from Canada and now based in Berlin, specialises in everyday history — the lived experience behind the headlines. His latest book examines the Berlin Airlift through the eyes of civilians and pilots, revealing a more complex, human and politically charged story.Guest Details:Joseph Pearson is a cultural historian and author based in Berlin.Book: The Airlift: Victories, Myths, and the Berlin BlockadeBuy here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9781803998220Follow Joseph on Instagram @writing_josephIf you care about Cold War history, post-war Germany, the Berlin Blockade, the Berlin Airlift, or how propaganda shapes memory — this episode will challenge what you thought you knew.Episode recommendations:Episode 219 – Giles Milton on Post War Berlin - https://pod.fo/e/2f6bc6Episode 103 – Katja Hoyer on East Germany - https://pod.fo/e/21793e Follow & Support History Rage

In this episode of Millions Were Made, Jessica Marx is joined by Brooke Dumas, the Fractional COO brand of Tailored Premier, to examine one of the most overlooked drivers of team performance: ONBOARDING.While many founders dedicate significant time and resources to hiring, far fewer implement a structured onboarding process that ensures new team members are set up for success. The result is often misalignment, underperformance, and early turnover—despite hiring highly qualified individuals.Jessica and Brooke introduce their proprietary 90-day onboarding framework, a system implemented across client organizations to reduce owner dependency, improve clarity, and accelerate employee performance. They emphasize that the first 90 days are not only a critical evaluation period for the employee, but also a reflection of the company's leadership, systems, and operational standards.Through real-world observations, they outline the common mistakes founders make—such as assuming experienced hires require minimal guidance—and explain why clearly documented processes, defined expectations, and consistent feedback are essential to building a high-performing team.This episode covers:Why onboarding is a key determinant of employee success and retentionThe risks of relying on assumptions rather than structured trainingHow lack of clarity leads to inefficiency and increased turnoverThe importance of defining and communicating company standardsWhy SOPs, checklists, and documentation are foundational to scalingHow to structure feedback and milestones within the first 90 daysThe long-term impact of a well-executed onboarding experienceThis episode serves as Part 1 of a two-part series designed to help founders implement a scalable and effective onboarding process that supports both team performance and business growth.Listen now and stay tuned for Part 2, where we will provide a detailed breakdown of the onboarding framework and how to implement it within your organization.Mini-timeline00:14–01:03 — Introduction to the 90-day onboarding framework01:04–02:15 — Why onboarding is critical to employee retention02:16–03:18 — The role of onboarding in shaping company culture03:19–04:53 — The risks of assuming new hires will “figure it out”04:54–06:30 — Common onboarding mistakes made by founders06:31–08:15 — Defining and communicating standards of excellence08:16–10:39 — The importance of SOPs, checklists, and structured plans10:40–11:31 — Hiring under pressure: build first or hire first?11:32–13:57 — The consequences of onboarding without infrastructure13:58–15:20 — The cost of early employee turnover15:21–17:52 — Case example: effective onboarding in practice17:53–19:30 — Building employee engagement and long-term commitment19:31–20:27 — Making informed decisions within the first 90 days20:28–22:42 — Preview of Part 2 and framework overviewResources90-Day Onboarding Framework (Download): https://astounding-founder-8808.kit.com/products/onboarding-blueprintFollow @millionsweremade on Instagram for frameworks + strategy tipsConnect with Jessica:Instagram: @millionsweremade | @thejessicamarxWork with Jessica: Tailored PremierWebsite: Millions Were Made

What was the last thing you ate? This is the question we always begin our podcast episodes with. The reason is because we always want to know what the other is fixing and cooking! What's going on in your kitchen these days? What's fresh and good? One of our earliest episodes recounts everything in our refrigerators at the moment! That was a lot of fun to record.Part of what drives this interest in what we are eating is developing the ideas and understanding of what a day in the life of ancestral food looks like in a world where you may be the only person you know who is eating anything like an ancestral or ancestrally inspired diet. A world where once upon a time it would have been the norm to eat this way, but now you are trying to create a life, habits, rolling tasks, completely on your own, and without the benefit of examples from your childhood or the people around you or expert cooks who live nearby and can give suggestions and show you a good way to use up chicken carcasses or how to feed a lot of small children filling food day after day. And another reason why is - there is something intangible we learn when we travel to a place, stay in a home and break bread with someone. It is an intimate communion that tells us something about that person.For this episode, we decided to track our meals for an entire week so you could see the shape of them - where some were more interesting, some were new and exciting, and others were leftovers, scraps, things we were just trying to use up. An ancestral diet is often made up of the mundane and simple, but exquisite foods. Pure in their sourcing, flavour, freshness but simple in their preparation and humble in their serving.To create a supporter bonus, I reached out to our supporter community and asked if they were willing to contribute a week of their meals as well, to be published as an accompanying booklet to the episode. The incredible booklet for podcast supporters that accompanies this episode includes at last count 50 pages with about 20 delicious menus, real menus made by families eating ancestral and home prepared meals ranging in size from empty nesters to 7 children in the home, including a special weekend with 12 children to be fed!There is also an aftershow - we wanted to go over some details from these contributed menus and we were really pushing the limit on podcast length so we continued recording some of those discussions as an aftershow which supporters can find in the podcast feed.

"It's in their constitution to be injured.""We've bred them to be like this."Both of these came up in the same conversation — and the paradox sitting between them is one of the patterns Jessie McCarthy's research surfaces about how racing talks to itself about risk.In this week's episode, Karen and Meta sit down with Jessie McCarthy, a final-year veterinary student at the University of Surrey, with a Master's in Animal Welfare, Ethics and Law from the University of Glasgow. Her recently published paper, co-authored with Euan Bennett and Heather Cameron-Whytock, takes a less common approach to social licence in racing: rather than starting from outside the sport, she interviewed twelve insiders about how they perceive the risks horses face, and the language they reach for when things go wrong.What emerges is a quietly revealing portrait of a sport in conversation with itself. Risk often gets reframed as a communication problem rather than a welfare one.Responsibility gets dispersed across the sport — until, as Jessie's research shows, it often quietly settles on the horses themselves. Their fragility. Their nature. Their breeding.But of course — we bred them.In this conversation, we explore:Why the words we reach for ("accident," "incident," "adverse event") shape what we believe is possibleHow tradition and identity in the horse world can act as a brake on reformPin firing, generational change, and what the next generation of equine vets is choosing differentlyWhy a horse's welfare may be shaped less by race day than by the other 360 daysThe question of equine consent — and why only one of twelve stakeholders raised itAnd, offered any wish in the world, Jessie's is gloriously simple: more turnout, more friends, more forageA thoughtful, generous conversation with a young vet whose research invites the horse world — insiders and outsiders alike — to reflect on the stories we've inherited.

We're living through another gold rush moment in the online space, and most people don't even realize it yet.Between 2019 and 2021, the online course market exploded from $45 billion to $165 billion. Early movers captured 70% of that market just by being first. But by 2022? The market hit saturation. Course completion rates dropped to 20%. Content fatigue set in. And honestly? I've got my own course graveyard collecting dust on Google Drive. (I know I'm not alone!)But here's what's happening now: Expert-backed AI is creating an entirely new category and it's not just a trend. It's a fundamental shift in how we deliver transformation.In this episode, I'm breaking down what expert-backed AI actually is, why it's different from just using ChatGPT, and how it's changing the monetization game for coaches, course creators, and service providers.This isn't about replacing you. It's about extending your brain into tools your clients can access 24/7 so they get faster results, you have deeper conversations, and everyone wins.In this episode, you'll learn:Why expert-backed AI is NOT the same as a generic large language modelThe shocking stats behind the online course boom—and bustHow AI completion rates are 3–5x higher than traditional coursesWhy "time to first result" has dropped from 4–6 weeks to 2–5 daysThe difference between teaching people how to think vs. letting them use your thinkingHow supplementary AI tools are elevating coaching sessions (not replacing them)Why your old worksheets should probably become interactive botsWhat the $50 billion AI Education Tools Market means for creators in 2025How to pair your expertise with AI without losing the human touchA sneak peek at Project Vault and what we're building for expert-backed AI monetizationThe Big Idea:Courses teach others how to think.Expert-backed AI tools allow others to use your thinking.It's like having a little clone of you—or a brain extension—that your clients can access whenever they want. And that? That's a game-changer for implementation, impact and income.>>Your Next Steps:

We're living through another gold rush moment in the online space, and most people don't even realize it yet.Between 2019 and 2021, the online course market exploded from $45 billion to $165 billion. Early movers captured 70% of that market just by being first. But by 2022? The market hit saturation. Course completion rates dropped to 20%. Content fatigue set in. And honestly? I've got my own course graveyard collecting dust on Google Drive. (I know I'm not alone!)But here's what's happening now: Expert-backed AI is creating an entirely new category and it's not just a trend. It's a fundamental shift in how we deliver transformation.In this episode, I'm breaking down what expert-backed AI actually is, why it's different from just using ChatGPT, and how it's changing the monetization game for coaches, course creators, and service providers.This isn't about replacing you. It's about extending your brain into tools your clients can access 24/7 so they get faster results, you have deeper conversations, and everyone wins.In this episode, you'll learn:Why expert-backed AI is NOT the same as a generic large language modelThe shocking stats behind the online course boom—and bustHow AI completion rates are 3–5x higher than traditional coursesWhy "time to first result" has dropped from 4–6 weeks to 2–5 daysThe difference between teaching people how to think vs. letting them use your thinkingHow supplementary AI tools are elevating coaching sessions (not replacing them)Why your old worksheets should probably become interactive botsWhat the $50 billion AI Education Tools Market means for creators in 2025How to pair your expertise with AI without losing the human touchA sneak peek at Project Vault and what we're building for expert-backed AI monetizationThe Big Idea:Courses teach others how to think.Expert-backed AI tools allow others to use your thinking.It's like having a little clone of you—or a brain extension—that your clients can access whenever they want. And that? That's a game-changer for implementation, impact and income.>>Your next steps

If you've ever told yourself you'll start fresh on Monday, next month, or when the timing is finally right, this ep is going to call you out in the best way

Story is our brain's first language.And our minds fill in a story's blanks long before the facts catch up.Before we consciously interpret an event, our nervous system has already scanned for threat and sent that information to our brains, which in turn builds a narrative about what it means. We're constantly interpreting events, and not always accurately. Research has shown that negative information carries more psychological weight than positive information. That bias isn't a flaw–it's survival wiring. But what protects us biologically can distort us relationally.Unexamined stories shape our leadership. They shape how we interpret feedback. They shape how we respond to conflict. They shape culture. They shape trust.Which is why reclaiming “storyteller” as a skill set matters.Good storytelling connects to our capacity for joy, along with our ability to connect to what is truly authentic for us, which plays a role in the stories we tell ourselves and others. Today's guest digs into how to become a better storyteller—with yourself and with others—why joy is a skill that helps regulate our state and expand capacity, and how connecting to our authenticity is essential to telling good stories. Shabnam Mogharabi is an entertainment executive, producer, and New York Times bestselling author with 20 years of experience in mission-driven media. She is currently the founder of The Joy Brigade, a boutique production company, and also serves as Executive Director at Soul Boom, which creates media to ignite a spiritual revolution. Prior to that, Shabnam was an EVP at film company Participant and also co-founded the uplifting content studio SoulPancake with actor Rainn Wilson, which she ran as CEO for nearly a decade, amassing one billion video views. She has a certificate in positive psychology and believes joy is transformational.Listen to the full episode to hear:Why joy is not about bypassing, but actually helps us navigate and weather our hardest daysThe difference between experiencing the emotion of happiness and cultivating the tools and practices of joyThree tools Shabnam returns to over and over in her own life to reset her perspectiveWhy we have to play the long game with joy practices through consistency and timeKey elements that make for an impactful story, and why you don't need to be an artist or writer to hone your storytelling skillsHow Shabnam built and sustains the trust at the foundation of her 17-year creative partnership with Rainn WilsonLearn more about Shabnam Mogharabi:WebsiteThe Joy BrigadeSoul BoomConnect on LinkedInLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Soul Boom Workbook: Spiritual Tools for Modern LivingThe Vanishing Half, Brit BennettMan's Search for Meaning, Viktor E.

If you've ever said, “I deserve a drink,” that thought may feel small, but it reflects something deeper — a powerful belief that alcohol is your reward.In this episode, Molly explores Alcohol Core Belief #4: Alcohol is my reward, and how this unconscious narrative can quietly fuel your desire to drink. The episode offers a new way forward — not through willpower or restriction, but by intentionally creating new, satisfying reward rituals.You'll learn:Why the brain links alcohol with reward — and what to do about itHow removing alcohol without adding new sources of pleasure leads to resistanceThe importance of building emotional reward systems that reinforce the habit of drinking lessWhy this work isn't about deprivation, but about creating lasting satisfaction and peaceTopics and TakeawaysHow “reward thinking” fuels the desire to drinkThe role of dopamine and learned associationsHow to create alcohol-free rewards that actually feel goodWhat to do instead of white-knuckling your way through dry daysThe mindset shift from “restriction” to “reinforcement”Resources MentionedAlcohol Core Beliefs Episodes: Episode 158: https://pdst.fm/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/12f5397f/5d182193.mp3 Episode 159:https://pdst.fm/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/eda56e8a/ac4e075a.mp3Episode 160: https://pdst.fm/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/0bc07446/a0266a75.mp3Episode 161: https://pdst.fm/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/e62c3a01/cdd8df70.mp3Episode 163: https://pdst.fm/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/bb7c0709/5c68cc4e.mp3 Rewards Rewired WorksheetLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Millicent and Milo thought buying a home would take months—until they listened to Millicent's mom. With a lease ending and low expectations, they closed on their first home in under 30 days thanks to prep work, a unicorn team, and the confidence to act fast. What started as a casual conversation turned into a life-changing decision for Millicent and Milo. Encouraged by Millicent's mom—an avid How to Buy a Home listener—they reached out with just weeks left on their lease. The result: they closed on a new construction home in under 30 days. In this interview, they walk through the entire process: from discovering they were more prepared than they thought, to negotiating with builders who claimed there were “no incentives,” to how their unicorn team saved them thousands in closing costs and helped them avoid costly pitfalls. They also share practical tips for other first-time buyers—like how to handle earnest money, what radon testing revealed in a brand-new home, and why measuring your laundry space before buying appliances is non-negotiable. This episode is a real-world example of what's possible when preparation meets the right support system—and yes, it all started with listening to mom. “After talking to the unicorn lender, we realized—we were actually ready. That gave us the confidence to go for it.” – Millicent HIGHLIGHTS Why you should never sign in at a builder's office without representationHow they got $10K in seller credits and avoided paying full closing costsWorking with the builder's lender vs. the unicorn lenderWhat radon testing revealed (and why you should always do it)How they managed the buying and moving process in under 30 daysThe importance of not spending any money before closing—even on appliancesWhat they're doing now to prepare for their next home (and investment property)How having a unicorn team made all the difference—even with a builder purchaseConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.

This episode marks the final PM Talks conversation of the 2025 calendar year, and it's a fitting one: Patrick and I explore legacy — not as something we engineer, but as something that unfolds in the stories others tell about us. As always, this episode is part of our monthly PM Talks series, and it might be the most reflective note we've ended on so far.We talk about time, presence, family, uncertainty, and the way small choices echo long after we're gone. This one weaves philosophy into the everyday in a way that feels real, grounding, and honestly necessary as we close out the year.Six Discussion PointsWhy time feels like it's accelerating as we age, and how presence slows the smaller slices of our daysThe balance between certainty and agency — and how we navigate what we do and don't controlWhy trying to “control” your legacy is ultimately a losing battleHow stories — both true and inferred — shape the legacies we inherit and the ones we leaveThe importance of documenting your own story so others don't have to invent one laterHow everyday tasks, decisions, and moments of presence quietly become the stories others use to remember usThree Connection PointsPatrick's workThe Productivity DietOur episode on uncertaintyLegacy isn't a monument — it's a story, shaped by moments we're often too busy to notice. This conversation reminded me that what endures isn't the grand plan, but the small choices, the presence we bring, and the stories people choose to carry forward. Thanks for being with us through another year of PM Talks. There's a lot more ahead in the next season.
