The person you turn to on your worst day isn't the funniest or the smartest. They're the one who makes you feel understood. That skill has a name: super communicator. And according to research, it's not a personality trait. It's a set of learnable habits. The same way anyone can learn to read. Charles Duhigg is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection. He spent years studying what separates the people we love talking to from everyone else, and what he found will change how you walk into every conversation. Every discussion is actually three conversations layered on top of each other: a practical one, an emotional one, and a social one. When you're having a different one than the person across from you, connection breaks down before it even starts. Super communicators know how to identify which conversation is happening and match it. They also ask 10 to 20 times more questions than the average person. Not to interrogate, but to signal: I'm here. I'm listening. You matter.

Former Navy SEAL Diego Ugalde returns to The Jess Larsen Show for one of our most thought-provoking conversations yet. In this throwback episode, Diego opens up about the journey behind his book Leading From the Deep and the lessons he learned from BUD/S training, combat deployments, leadership, trauma, and healing. Jess and Diego explore the realities of mental toughness, what elite performance actually feels like under pressure, and why so many high achievers unknowingly run on fear, shame, and self-judgment. Diego shares powerful stories from his SEAL career, including combat medicine experiences in Iraq, the mindset required to survive BUD/S, and the evolution of his leadership philosophy through psychedelics and consciousness work. The conversation shifts into something deeper: identity, ego, purpose, and the idea that “love can be the gasoline” behind performance instead of fear. What follows is an honest, philosophical, and deeply human discussion about success, suffering, healing, and what it really means to lead yourself and others. This is more than a conversation about Navy SEALs or psychedelics. It's a conversation about becoming whole. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What if the real reason you feel stuck, anxious, or unfulfilled has nothing to do with your biohacking stack and everything to do with which half of your brain you're actually using? In this episode, Host Dave Asprey sits down with Harvard professor and bestselling author Arthur Brooks to reveal the neuroscience of meaning, consciousness, and why your left brain's obsession with optimization is quietly destroying your happiness and human performance. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR - Buy Arthur's new book “The Meaning Of Your Life” at: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/724315/the-meaning-of-your-life-by-arthur-c-brooks/ Arthur Brooks is a professor at both the Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School, where he teaches leadership and happiness.

Dave and Arthur go deep on hemispheric lateralization, the rediscovered neuroscience showing your right brain holds everything that makes life worth living: meaning, mystery, consciousness, and the ineffable experiences that no AI, no nootropic, and no amount of fasting or sleep optimization can manufacture for you. They break down why the depression and anxiety epidemic is really a right-brain deficiency crisis, and why all the supplements, ketosis protocols, and functional medicine hacks in the world won't fix it if you're living entirely in your left hemisphere. This is a rare episode that bridges hard neuroscience with the deepest questions of human existence. Whether you're deep into anti-aging, neuroplasticity training, or Smarter Not Harder living, this conversation will change how you think about what you're actually optimizing for. You'll Learn: Why the mental health crisis is fundamentally a meaning crisis, and what your brain hemispheres have to do with it How technology, AI, and screen culture are suppressing the right hemisphere and wiring you for anxiety The six scientifically backed ways to open your right brain and unlock experiences of real meaning Why self-improvement fails without first understanding the neuroscience of how ideas install in the brain How suffering, handled correctly, is the single most powerful path to consciousness and purpose Why romantic love, beauty, and deep conversation are forms of neurological medicine What Dave's $2.5 million biohacking journey taught him about the limits of optimization The Buddhist physics of suffering: pain times resistance, and how to lower the resistance instead of the pain Thank you to our sponsors! - Danger Coffee | Grab yours at DangerCoffee.com and use code DAVEPOD at checkout for 15% off. - Screenfit | Get your at-home eye training program for 40% off using code DAVE at https://www.screenfit.com/dave. - Join My Low-Oxalate 30-Day Challenge: daveasprey.com/2026-low-ox-reset - Calroy | Go to Calroy.com/DAVE for exclusive discounts on Arterosil HP, Vascanox HP and all Calroy products.Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Stacy M., we continue pulling back the curtain on Freemasonry and examining the questions most people are told not to ask.If the organization is simply a harmless fraternity, why so much secrecy? Why the elaborate rituals, layered symbolism, and strict oaths? And why have so many influential leaders throughout history been tied to it?In this episode, we dig deeper into the structure of Freemasonry, the meaning behind its rituals and symbols, and the concerns many Christians and researchers have raised about its spiritual and cultural influence. We also discuss why criticism of the organization is often quickly dismissed—and why that reaction alone should make people more curious, not less.This conversation isn't about sensationalism. It's about discernment. When powerful institutions operate largely out of public view yet intersect with leadership, culture, and faith, they deserve thoughtful examination.The goal isn't to tell people what to think, but to encourage them to start asking questions for themselves.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

In this episode, Lindsey sits down with Charles Duhigg, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit, Smarter Faster Better, and his newest book, Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection.  Communication takes center stage as Charles breaks down the complex layers of daily interactions. From practical to emotional, he teaches us how to navigate conversations with a clear sense of intent, steer clear of misunderstandings, and connect on a soulful level.

With curated clips from the Almost 30 podcast, Morning Mircodose will set the tone for your day, so you can feel inspired through thought provoking conversations…all in digestible episodes that are less than 10 minutes.

Today on Uncommon Sense, I'm joined by Stacy M. for a conversation that too many people are afraid (or unwilling) to have.We're discussing Freemasonry: what it is, what it claims to be, and the darker, more sinister elements that often get brushed aside or ignored entirely. From secrecy and symbolism to influence and power, we're asking the questions that rarely get real answers.Why has this secret society maintained such a strong presence for so long? Why does it seem to intersect so frequently with positions of power—including within our own government? And most importantly… why aren't more people talking about it?This episode isn't about blind accusations, it's about awareness. If something holds influence, operates behind closed doors, and shapes culture or leadership in any capacity, it deserves scrutiny.It's time to start paying attention and asking better questions.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

February 9-15The greatest potential for danger is one that we cannot afford to close our eyes to and miss. That is the growing wickedness around us that is seeping into our lives without announcement or warning flare. It just crawls on clawed feet into the hearts of ourselves and our children, as quietly as that asteroid did that swept close to earth. But wickedness is not a near miss. It is targeted, upon us, and more destructive than we have ever supposed.

Cal Newport is carrying the banner for a movement to slow down. Cal is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University. He is also the New York Times bestselling author of eight books, including, his latest: Slow Productivity, which debuted at number two on the NYT list in March. Cal is also a contributing writer for The New Yorker and the host of the Deep Questions podcast.

Abbey opens up in a heartfelt Agony Ab from a new mum struggling with the idea of being “one and done” after a traumatic pregnancy journey and birth, sharing raw insight into postpartum recovery, pressure and letting go of expectations.There's also plenty of laughter along the way, including some jaw-dropping advice from a 1950s housewife manual, questionable supermarket habits and a reminder that sometimes… people just need to chill.

Step into Episode 196 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Arizona PR powerhouse Melissa DiGianfilippo, founder of Proof Publicity, for an honest conversation about building credibility, navigating crisis communication, and what it really takes to grow a business on your own terms. From firing clients who waste time to leveraging AI for faster content creation without losing the human touch, Melissa pulls back the curtain on how PR actually works—and why relationships still matter more than most entrepreneurs realize. If you're running a business, launching a concept, or trying to get real attention in a noisy market, this episode is packed with practical insights you can use right now.Hear how Melissa went from a 25-year-old agency owner in 2008 to running a lean, intentional PR firm that only works with clients she believes in—and how she's learned to be ruthless with feedback, flexible with change, and crystal clear on what moves the needle. She breaks down why PR isn't just press releases, how newsjacking gets more coverage than any planned pitch, and what it takes to onboard a new client (spoiler: it starts with 90 minutes of deep questions). The conversation also dives into how Arizona's hospitality scene is exploding right now, from downtown Phoenix popping off to brand collaborations becoming the fastest way to expand your audience, and why authentic storytelling beats viral gimmicks every time.Melissa also gets candid about balancing motherhood with two daughters (10 and 13) while building a business that feels like a third child, why she pays for help so she can stay focused, and how she's unlearning some pandemic-era fears around being direct with her team. You'll hear about crisis situations she's handled—from student housing disasters to media showing up at a property's door with cameras—and why staying calm, responsive, and human is the only way through. From her morning news podcast ritual to hiring blunt Gen Z employees who don't want fluff, Melissa's approach is equal parts strategic and refreshingly real.Chapter Guide Timestamps:0:00 – 2:48 – Intro, Birthday Coincidence, and Built Different Community Overview2:49 – 5:09 – Americano Event Recap and the Power of Networking with Purpose5:10 – 8:06 – Origin Story: Wisconsin to Kent State, PR Degree, and the Professor Who Changed Everything8:07 – 12:40 – First Job at Martz Agency, Learning Ruthlessness, and Starting a Business at 2512:41 – 14:20 – Why She Started Proof Publicity and What the Name Really Means14:21 – 16:53 – Why Women Excel in PR, Listening Over Ego, and Crisis Control Stories16:54 – 20:52 – Newsjacking, Media Relationships, and Why the Landscape Has Changed20:53 – 25:02 – Being a Good Boss, Patience, Directness, and Learning from Gen Z25:03 – 26:47 – Balancing Motherhood, Business, and Paying for Help Without Apology26:48 – 29:53 – Arizona Hospitality Boom, Downtown Phoenix, and Brand Collaborations29:54 – 32:19 – How AI is Changing PR, Building Client Projects in ChatGPT, and Staying Human32:20 – 36:08 – The Onboarding Process: 90 Minutes of Deep Questions and Delivering Results36:09 – 38:18 – Firing Clients Who Waste Time and Protecting Media Relationships38:19 – 40:45 – Hobbies, Travel, Pickleball, Peloton, and Being a Picky Eater40:46 – 43:10 – Rapid Fire: Pizza vs. Sushi, Wine vs. Coffee, PR Myths, and Big Wins43:11 – 47:44 – More Rapid Fire, Music Preferences, and Episode Wrap-UpIf this conversation about PR, building intentional businesses, and navigating Arizona's hospitality boom resonated with you, hit Subscribe for more deep dives on business, relationships, and growth. Drop a comment with your biggest takeaway, and share this episode with someone who's trying to get real attention in a crowded market.

There's a vast online universe where men hang out and hate on women. This is the 'Manosphere', a place home to hucksters, spivs, scam artists and some of the worst humans alive. But it's also a honeytrap for millions of lost boys simply looking for a story about the world that makes sense. You start out looking for fitness tips or how to get a girlfriend. You end up believing climate change is made up and Donald Trump is a hero.  How does this online radicalisation happen? What does it tell us about politics and power in the 21st century, and how we form ideas about the world? And can anything be done to keep young men out of it? Joining me on this episode is the journalist James Bloodworth.

Remember when we thought AI was going to bring about utopia or Skynet? Turns out, it's mostly just a bunch of fancy spreadsheets, a potential bubble ready to burst (looking at you, Nvidia), and a legal minefield. We're talking wrongful death lawsuits because a chatbot encouraged suicide, OpenAI admitting their 'safety controls degrade,' and then secretly siccing the cops on users. Plus, the Citizen app's AI can't even tell a murder vehicle from a motor vehicle, and Grok 2.5 is now open source if you want to invite that chaos into your life. Also, don't ask Google if 1995 was 30 years ago, because apparently, AI can't do basic math.Meanwhile, the adults in the room are just doing what they do: the U.S. government is buying a chunk of Intel, while Trump wants to "design" government websites (with badly edited photos, naturally). Meta's own AI stuff is so bad they're just licensing Midjourney's tech, proving it's always easier to buy than build. Apple TV+ raised its prices, and Spotify finally figured out how to let you DM songs. Over at Apple Fitness, it seems the execs are fostering a "toxic workplace environment," because who knew working out could be so hardcore? Oh, and Chipotle is doing drone delivery now. Welcome to Zipotle, because getting off your ass is apparently too much to ask.As for what we're actually watching, it's a mixed bag. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' documentary episode was... fine, but Paramount's axing jobs and "un-renewing" Dexter: Original Sin to focus on Dexter: Resurrection (because that always works out). We're trying to keep up with Alien: Earth, Wednesday, and Upload, but good luck with those staggered release dates. Apple TV+ has some good sci-fi, but Foundation might just be a hate-watch for Brian. And in the library, we've got Budgie's surprisingly depressing memoir and some solid sci-fi from Scott Meyer and Dennis E. Taylor. It's almost enough to make you miss the simpler times before AI broke everything.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - clnmy.com/Grumpyoldgeeks - Use code OLDGEEKS for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Is everything we know about productivity wrong? Cal Newport thinks so.

This week, your favorite yoga podcast hosts turn the mic on each other for a totally unscripted, anything-goes interview, AND nothing is off-limits.Before diving in, they share retreat updates, a big announcement about their new Patreon, and a classic moment of Bradshaw's forgetfulness. Then the real fun begins: Bradshaw kicks things off with a bold (and slightly unhinged) question about Giana's past trauma, while Giana responds with a gentler, but no less revealing, prompt about what people often misunderstand about Bradshaw.What follows is a chaotic, heartfelt exchange of deeply personal and delightfully weird questions: irrational fears, dating at 38, queerness in teaching, childhood beliefs, surprise moments of growth, what kind of lesbian Giana would be, and the reality show Bradshaw would absolutely star in.It's honest, hilarious, a little unhinged, and full of heart, like a sleepover with your emotionally intelligent besties.⚠️ Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of masturbation, sexual identity, and sex. Please listen with care.
