  The end of a romantic relationship, particularly for the initiator or the "dumper," marks a complex and pivotal moment in their life. Often seen as holding the "position of power," the initiator's journey, contrary to common focus, is as profound as that of the person left behind. This article, complemented by an in-depth video, explores the myriad emotions and behaviors experienced by the dumper, beginning with the "Relief Stage."   The Complex Emotion of Relief   The Relief Stage is characterized by a sense of liberation from an unfulfilling relationship and the resolution of internal conflict regarding the breakup. The dumper often feels a mix of liberation and regret for the pain caused. They anticipate improvement in their lives post-breakup and expect their former partner to eventually be fine, ironically leading to discomfort at the thought of their partner moving on.   Freedom and Social Renaissance   Post-breakup, dumpers often experience a surge in social activities and a pursuit of new interests, appearing as a celebration of newfound independence. This behavior, however, sometimes masks a deeper pursuit of another romantic connection, reflecting the complexity of human nature in seeking connection while relishing newfound freedom.   Our Catalog Culture and the Illusion of Choice   Today's digital era influences the dumper's perspective, with the "Catalog Culture" of dating apps and social media presenting endless romantic possibilities. This often leads to unrealistic expectations and a misunderstanding of the depth required in meaningful relationships, contributing to breakups and divorces.   Lingering Emotional Ties and Guilt   Despite outward expressions of freedom, dumpers often grapple with thoughts of their ex-partner, sometimes reaching out to alleviate guilt rather than a desire to rekindle the relationship. This highlights the complexity of their emotional state, torn between moving forward and the remnants of their past relationship.   The Decline of Patience and Alleged ‘Need for Space'   As the Relief Stage progresses, dumpers' tolerance for continued interaction with their ex-partner often diminishes. They may initially respond with understanding but repeated contact can lead to frustration and hostility. This shift signifies the dumper's need for space and time to navigate their post-breakup journey. Continued contact from the ex-partner can lead to a further drop in attraction due to perceived negativity and feeling trapped.   Reflection and Self-Discovery   This stage is also a time of introspection and self-discovery for the dumper, reflecting on the relationship's shortcomings, personal growth, and future aspirations. The No Contact Rule is emphasized, preventing further plummeting of attraction and forcing the dumper to consider the possibility of their ex moving on. This realization that the breakup has consequences is often what propels them to the next stage, "Curiosity."   The Illusion of Immediate Happiness   Dumpers often anticipate immediate happiness post-breakup, but the reality involves a gradual process of self-exploration and acceptance. They start questioning whether true happiness lies with the partner they left.   Societal Influences and Expectations   Societal norms also influence the Relief Stage, with external pressures to move on quickly often downplaying the complexity of the dumper's emotions. This pressure can hinder the natural progression of their post-breakup experience and sometimes even prompt a return to their former partner.   Preparing for Future Relationships   As the Relief Stage evolves, dumpers begin laying the groundwork for future relationships, learning from past experiences, understanding their role in the previous relationship's breakdown, and developing a clearer picture of what they seek in a partner.   Conclusion: A Journey Towards Emotional Maturity   The Relief Stage is a journey of emotional maturation and self-awareness, involving a complex interplay of emotions, behaviors, and societal influences. Understanding this stage is crucial for the dumper to navigate their post-breakup journey effectively, gaining deeper insights into themselves and their relationships, and ultimately setting the stage for their real decision.   On YouTube at "Your Ex In Relief Stage of Breakup"    Accompanying article at "Your Ex In The Relief Stage After Breakup"   On Medium at, "Your Ex In The Relief Stage"

Growing up amongst the airbrushed t-shirts and dolphins of Destin, Florida, muralist TAYLOR SHAW learned how to hustle to make the most of the tourist season. Years of hard work in restaurants and side gigs honed many of the skills that have enabled Taylor to make a career creating site-specific murals which have become their own tourist attractions. But how Taylor got out of the kitchen, through an MFA program and into a custom van ready to install a 120-foot mural is a great yarn best told by Lazerchef himself.

Never before released episode from our archives (sounds way more legitimate than it is). There is a lot of things to worry about today...how do we deal with all the fear and the apparent decline of the church in the U.S. The Bible does have something to say.

Scripture Reference: Matthew 14:1-13a Matthew inserts an interesting little story about the fate of John the Baptist at the hands of Herod Antipas, king of Judea in Jesus day. But the life of Herod provides an anti-example to us who, with the benefit of hindsight, can see what evil choices do to spoil a conscience.

This week on the show, Transmissions host Jason P. Woodbury joins Penelope Spheeris, director of The Decline of Western Civilization trilogy, The Beverly Hillbillies, Little Rascals, Suburbia, and Wayne's World. Spheeris is the host of Peter and the Acid King, a true crime podcast set in the Los Angeles punk scene of the early ‘80s concerning the unsolved murder of Peter Ivers. A pop culture wunderkind, Ivers was many things at once: an all-star harmonica player who played alongside Little Walter, a pal of Van Dyke Parks who opened for Fleetwood Mac, and a songwriter who wrote music for David Lynch's Eraserhead and artists like Diana Ross and The Pointer Sisters. In the early '80s, he found found notoriety as host of New Wave Theatre, which showcased Bad Religion, Circle Jerks, 45 Grave and the Angry Samoans. Peter and the Acid King explores that epochal cultural era and its violent end. Working with investigator and co-creator Alan Sacks, Spheeris narrates with 10-part series, which is just about to finish its run, with world weary charm and sly understatement, as well as her signature attitude.

Most Pastors would agree that the American church in the midst of a crisis of decline, as lagging attendance, giving, and influence continue to cause havoc in local congregations. Yet, despite all this, Andrew Root argues the real crisis that should keep pastors up at night isn't shrinking budgets or lessening participation--rather it is the realization that for most people, even many pastors, we can live and act as if God doesn't matter and doesn't even exist. In this conversation, we talk about the three stages of secularism that have impacted American Christianity, what it means to believe that "God is God," and why the only story churches need to proclaim is God's story. Andrew Root (Ph.D., Princeton Theological Seminary) is the Carrie Olson Baalson professor of youth and family ministry at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. He writes and researches in areas of theology, ministry, culture and younger generations.  His recent books are Churches and the Crisis of Decline, When Church Stops Working, and The Church After Innovation. Andy has worked in congregations, parachurch ministries, and social service programs. He lives in St. Paul with his wife Kara, two children, Owen and Maisy, and their dog. When not reading, writing, or teaching, Andy spends far too much time watching TV and movies.

William Magnuson, a professor at Texas A&M Law School and former Harvard University professor, discusses his book For Profit: A History of Corporations. The book covers eight different corporations throughout history, illustrating different facets of corporations. William  chose these eight corporations because they were relevant to the modern world and their importance in shaping society. He aimed to explore the origins of corporations, focusing on foundational moments in corporate law, such as ancient Rome's tax-gathering entities, and the Medici bank. He talks about how studying corporations over 2000 years  brought to light trends and why today's citizens are more impacted by corporations than at any other time in history.    William considered including the Soviet Union, which was one of the world's great experiments in trying to structure and economy without corporations. However, he did not include any consumer packaged goods or retail companies on the list. He also considered researching other major tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft, but ultimately chose not to include them. He also considered adding Japanese corporations, as there is a long history within corporate law scholarship that has similarities with US law but also some major differences. He highlights the importance of understanding the legal concept of corporations and the evolution of their features over time. He also acknowledges the potential for further research into other cultures and corporations, such as Japanese corporations, which could provide valuable insights into corporate law scholarship. Common Characteristics of the Modern Corporation The concept of a corporation has its roots in various ancient cultures, including the Incas, Chinese, and Japan. Europe was largely based on the Roman model, which outsourced government services to private individuals or organizations. This model was copied in Renaissance Italy and eventually moved up to the joint stock era in the 1600s. Japan has a long history of large conglomerate organizations, which are family-oriented and have evolved over time. The American corporation is largely based on the European tradition. Some common characteristics of modern corporations include limited liability, professional management class; single entity operation, and immortality, where a corporation never dies or ceases to exist, unlike partnerships, which end when one partner dies. This is important because historically, partnerships ended when one partner died, which was problematic for tax gathering in ancient Roman republics. Corporations are immortal, meaning they continue to exist even after the death of a single member or stockholder.  The Birth of the Corporation The Roman Republic's Fabian strategy, which involved avoiding set battles and using private enterprise, played a significant role in the creation of corporations. In 218 BC, during the Punic War between Rome and Carthage, the Roman commander Cornelius Skipio wrote to the Senate, asking for supplies to continue the war. The Roman senate ran out of money, they made a plea to Roman citizens for support, and in return they asked for several terms, and this led to the  idea of private enterprises as a solution to the problem, and legal rights for specific entities.  In the Roman Republic, corporations had to have certain institutions in place to function effectively. These institutions included the Senate passing laws, corporate attorneys, banks, and other infrastructure. The rule of law was crucial for these entities to thrive, as it allowed them to enforce contracts in court. This rule of law was a key factor in the rise of the corporation in Renaissance Florence, where fragmented policies and conflicts between duchies, barons, kingdoms, empires, and city states were prevalent. The Medici bank, for example, created a rule of law within the city of Florence, creating separate entities with 15 branches, each serving as its own entity. This allowed them to create a rule of law in a world that didn't have it.  Cities and Religious Organizations as Corporations Religious organizations, such as monasteries, were also considered corporations, but they were not in the same line of business. Cities, on the other hand, were outliers in the history of corporations, as they sought to protect their liberties and rights. Cities were able to benefit from incorporation, as they were protected by the Magna Carta. Corporations are flexible entities that can be used for various enterprises. William explains the element of limited liability, which is a fascinating element of corporations. It provides risk protection for owners, allowing them to gather capital and launch larger enterprises. However, the concept of limited liability was not always clear, and some statutes are still ambiguous. For example, the East India Company, which was one of the first corporations to adopt limited liability, was a case study that illustrates the importance of limited liability in the early years of corporations. Early Ideas of Governance in Corporations William discusses the concept of governance in corporations, focusing on the separation of owners and managers and how to align them. This separation is crucial for modern corporations with hundreds of thousands of shareholders, as it prevents conflicts between managers and shareholders. One example of this is Ford Motor Company, founded by Henry Ford in the early 1900s. Ford was known for his fiddling around and raising money from wealthy investors, but faced criticism from shareholders who were concerned about his financial performance. This led to a conflict of interest between Ford and his shareholders, which eventually led to the foundational concept of fiduciary duty in corporate law. William also discusses the history of shares trading hands, mentioning that in ancient Rome, there were physical certificates representing stock ownership. However, there is little evidence on the exact structure or form of the stock market. Today, the system is moving towards an electric electronic system, making it more complex. William teaches a class on the settlement of trades, which is one of the main focuses in FinTech and other research interests. He also discusses the evolution of the stock trading system, highlighting the importance of understanding the complex nature of the process of trading shares. The History of Corporate Advisors William discusses the history of corporations using professionals outside their four walls to advise them. He cites KKR, a private equity firm, as an example of a corporation that uses an ecosystem of professionals to help it operate in the world. The role of these professionals has become more important as corporate law and the corporate form become bigger and more complicated in the modern world. Institutional investors have also played a role in the venture capital industry, often spearheading companies with the interests of venture capitalists. Facebook's structure and story are shaped by its funding model, which was honed into the idea that venture capitalists would take bets and try to reach rapid growth to create a platform effect. This model is emulated by many other startups today. There is a big debate about the corporate purpose, whether they should focus on profit or consider environmental, social, or governance issues. Throughout his research, William was surprised to find that the structure of corporations has always been similar to the debates within society, and major corporations have always led to major changes in how they are regulated. For example, mass production, oil production, and concerns about too big to fail have led to new issues being raised when there is mass production or oil production. Misconceptions about Corporations and Their Role in Society William discusses the misconceptions about corporations and their role in society. He argues that corporations were created to promote the common good, not just profit, although what could be debated is what the common good means. This idea is based on historical evidence, such as the creation of the Florentine government and Queen Elizabeth England. He also discusses the debate surrounding fiduciary duties and the role of boards of directors, managers, and officers in determining the interests of shareholders. He disagrees with some scholars about the role of fiduciary duties and the broad discretion granted to managers to consider other interests beyond shareholder profit. He believes that this broad discretion has been informed by his research into the history of corporations and the factors that have led them to thrive. William's next book is on the history of law, focusing on foundational moments in time when the way we think about law, the rule of law, the Constitution, judges, and democracy have changed. He goes back to ancient Athens, ancient Rome, and the development of the code, moving up through the US Constitution Magna Carta to the current draft of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.  Links: Some additional book recommendations on corporate history from Professor Magnuson: Ernst Badian, Publicans and Sinners: Private Enterprise in the Service of the Roman Republic Raymond de Roover, The Rise and Decline of the Medici Bank William Dalrymple, The Anarchy: The Relentless Rise of the East India Company John Micklethwait & Adrian Wooldridge, The Company: A Short History of a Revolutionary Idea CONTACT: Twitter: @profmagnuson LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-magnuson-56479473/ Unleashed is produced by Umbrex, which has a mission of connecting independent management consultants with one another, creating opportunities for members to meet, build relationships, and share lessons learned.
