On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop talks with Larry Diamond, co-founder of Healing with the Diamonds, about his journey from severe metabolic illness to vibrant health and his work helping others do the same. They explore topics like heart-brain coherence, the alchemical journey, insulin resistance, seed oils, and the deeper spiritual dimensions of healing, weaving in references to David Hawkins, Rupert Sheldrake, and the lost wisdom of the divine feminine. Larry shares insights on metabolic testing, ancestral eating, and the importance of authentic living, while also touching on the role of parasites—his term for the forces keeping humanity in fear and incoherence. You can find more about Larry and his work, as well as access his consulting, at healingwiththediamonds.com, on Instagram and Facebook at Healing with the Diamonds, or listen in iTunes to his upcoming podcast.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop introduces Larry Diamond of Healing with the Diamonds; they discuss his healing journey, health coaching, and the meaning of heart-brain coherence.05:00 Alchemical journey, crystals, the hero's journey, integrating masculine and feminine energies, and the idea of parasites feeding on fear.10:00 Kindness vs niceness, morphic fields, Rupert Sheldrake's theories, and quantum entanglement as evidence of interconnectedness.15:00 Scientism vs true science, metabolic illness, citizen science, Larry's 2013 health transformation.20:00 Metabolic syndrome, C-reactive protein, fasting insulin, insulin resistance, and Larry's weight loss story.25:00 Seed oils, refined carbs, ultra-processed foods, and strategies for restoring metabolic health.30:00 Carb cycling, primal eating, intuitive healing, and ancestral wisdom.35:00 Spirituality beyond religion, Yeshua vs Jesus, divine feminine, and writing your own gospel.40:00 Living authentically, kindness in daily life, and finding healing in sovereignty and connection.Key InsightsLarry Diamond shares how his journey from severe metabolic illness to vibrant health became the foundation for Healing with the Diamonds. He explains how hitting rock bottom in 2013 inspired him to reject mainstream dietary advice and embrace a primal, whole foods approach that reversed his insulin resistance and helped him lose over 100 pounds.A major theme of the conversation is heart-brain coherence, which Larry describes as essential for true wisdom and discernment. He connects this to ancient teachings, referencing Yeshua's “sword of discernment” and suggesting that Western culture intentionally suppressed this knowledge to keep people in fear and mental fragmentation.The episode explores the alchemical journey as a metaphor for inner transformation, likening it to Joseph Campbell's hero's journey. Larry emphasizes integrating masculine and feminine energies and overcoming ego as key steps in remembering our divine nature and embodying authenticity.Larry critiques scientism, which he calls the inversion of true science, and encourages listeners to reclaim citizen science as a path to health sovereignty. He shares practical tools like testing for C-reactive protein, A1C, fasting insulin, and using triglycerides-to-HDL ratios to assess metabolic health.He identifies the “Big Four” dietary culprits—seed oils, refined carbs, ultra-processed foods, and sugar—as drivers of chronic illness and advocates returning to ancestral foods rich in natural fats and nutrients. He stresses that flavor and enjoyment are critical for sustainable healing.On the spiritual side, Larry reframes the Abrahamic religions as distortions of deeper wisdom traditions, contrasting the figure of Yeshua (aligned with love and sovereignty) with the institutionalized Jesus narrative. He highlights the divine feminine, Sophia, as a source of intuition and co-creation with the cosmos.Finally, Larry encourages listeners to “write your own gospel and live your own myth,” seeing authentic, kind, and sovereign living as both a spiritual and practical act of resistance to what he calls the parasite class—forces of fear and manipulation seeking to block human awakening.

Welcome back to another hype episode of MiCannaCast with your favorite hosts, CannaDave and Groovee! In this jam-packed session, we're joined by two incredible guests — Scotty, the visionary behind Cannabee Extracts, and the one and only Detroit rapper, Hatch WiseGuy. This episode is all about authenticity, passion, and staying true to your roots. From Hatch's early days crawling to the coffee table to dance as a baby, to Scotty's dedication to clean extracts that win competitions, these two represent the soul of cannabis and music culture. Hatch shares his journey from local Detroit battles to gracing the stage at BET's 106 & Park, and how music pulled him back time after time. He opens up about his influences (Nas, Eminem, Jay-Z, Jadakiss, and more), the struggle of staying authentic, and the excitement behind his upcoming album, Dirt and Diamonds, dropping later this year. Plus — he drops an exclusive: his single "Yikes" featuring 38 Spesh lands on July 29th!Scotty gives us an inside look at Cannabee Extracts' ethos — quality over everything, real terps only, and a refusal to cut corners no matter the pressure. to entering new categories at Best in Grass, Scotty's passion for the plant shines through every product.Together, they talk about their shared love for grassroots festivals like Booty Bash, the importance of showing up in person, and why community matters more than big money moves.We also dive into the struggles of running a cannabis business, the wild world of infused joints (and why glass tips change everything), and the shady reality of fake terpenes in the market. It's an open, funny, and inspiring conversation that showcases the heart and hustle behind the people shaping Michigan's cannabis scene. Oh, and did we mention?They spark up a glass-tipped infused joint at the end — pure vibes.

In recent weeks, The Sunday Independent revealed that a customer took legal action against Empress Fine Jewels, which was ordered to pay her nearly €35,000, after diamond rings she entrusted to the store were reported stolen while being taken by a pensioner to another location to be cleaned. She received a call the next day from the jeweller, telling her the rings had been stolen from the pensioner on a Dublin Bus. Another customer of the same Dublin-based jeweller was “disappointed but not surprised” to learn that a €3,000 emerald and diamond ring she purchased contains fake gemstones.

Where were you in '62? The magical nostalgic world of the film American Graffiti seems about as close to heaven as one could get. A long night of adventure on the town, with all the cars and all the fun, but especially all of the incredible music. The Great Wolfman Jack provided the soundtrack to that magical world, spinning the best rock n roll, soul, doo wop and pop songs from the years 1957-1962, and lucky us, we get to enjoy it over and over again with the amazing soundtrack. Speaking personally, from the age of about 2-8 I heard this great soundtrack about 200 times, thanks to my folks having it in their record collection, and me insisting they play it over and over again. Lucky me, my parents Elizabeth and Paul Eisen were in LA on vacation and we figured it would be a great time to talk American Graffiti.

“it's the king of diamonds” [MAZA] It took Laurie R. King six years to find a publisher for her first book, but it was worth the wait. She won the Edgar in 1994 for Best First Novel with A Grave Talent, which launched her Kate Martinelli series, set in San Francisco. That same year, The Bee-Keeper's Apprentice introduced the impressive, young Mary Russell, who would meet and eventually marry the retired Sherlock Holmes — “the least marriageable man I knew,” according to Mary, in 1921. Since then, Russell and Holmes have traveled the world in eighteen novels, finding mystery and adventure everywhere from the English countryside to Palestine to California. Along the way, Mary's partnership with Holmes has evolved, usually in plots that mix real events with suspenseful intrigue. Now Knave of Diamonds, the nineteenth book in the series, brings Mary a case not even Sherlock Holmes could solve: the very real theft of the Irish Crown Jewels from Dublin Castle years before. It comes with the sudden return of Mary's unprincipled Uncle Jake, traveling on a cloud of fabrications and falsehoods. Laurie R. King was named a Mystery Writers of America Grand Master in 2022. Join us for a conversation about the Irish Crown Jewels, Laurie's approach to storytelling, Mary's background and her conflicting loyalties, and much more.

In this 71st episode of the Paul Zimnisky Diamond Analytics Podcast, Sam Indelicato from U.S. wholesaler RDI Diamonds joins the show. The episode begins with Paul and Sam talking about how retailers are viewing the proposition of selling lab-grown diamonds as of mid-2025. Next, the two discuss why certain larger, fancy-shaped natural diamond categories are outperforming the rest of the market. The two then discuss the impact that the Trump administration's tariff campaign has had on the domestic diamond and jewelry market. Finally, Paul and Sam have a spirited debate around the Natural Diamond Council's latest "guerrilla" campaign while discussing the general direction that natural diamond marketing has taken.

Episode Overview Andy takes on the YouTube critics and industry cynics head-on, delivering a family legacy perspective on why dismissing diamonds as "bad investments" completely misses the fucking point. From his grandfather's 1919 start in the business to today's lab-grown revolution, this episode cuts through the financial advisor bullshit to reveal what diamonds are really worth. Key Takeaways The Investment Reality Check: Not once has Andy heard someone say "I'd like your finest appreciating asset, please" Diamonds end up on fingers of teachers, truck drivers, accountants - people marking moments, not building portfolios That "worthless investment" often outlasts first houses, careers, and everything else people own Ask anyone celebrating their golden anniversary if their diamond was a good investment Historical Truth Bomb: Diamonds in engagement rings since the 1400s - Archduke Maximilian started the trend in 1477 That's 400 years before De Beers existed, 500 years before marketing executives were even a thing "A Diamond is Forever" amplified the tradition but didn't create it Humans have always been drawn to rare, beautiful shit that lasts - it's why the Louvre isn't full of Dollar Store crap The Hidden Logic: Hardest natural substance on the planet (perfect 10 on Mohs scale) Transparent - light passes through without distortion Forged under intense pressure deep within the earth Unlike other gems that fade or cloud, diamonds stay brilliant for generations Customer brought in grandmother's 1923 diamond - after cleaning, sparkled like brand new Natural vs. Lab-Grown Investment Reality: Lab-grown are chemically identical but prices are in free fall Natural diamonds: billions of years to form, millions to find and extract They're finite, ancient, with history predating humanity Natural values historically increase; lab-grown prices dropping fast Like owning a Monet vs. owning a poster of a Monet The Artistry Factor: Diamond cutting isn't automated factory process - it's generational craft Cutters visualize how to release a rough diamond's potential Weeks of precise cuts to maximize brilliance One wrong move = thousands lost in value Gabi Tolkowsky: "I imagine myself inside the crystal and see where I want the light to go" Value Beyond Balance Sheets: Sold diamonds to multimillionaires and kids who saved forever Sometimes big-ass diamonds carry expected weight, sometimes tiny stones pack the biggest punch Favorite customers return yearly, sharing proposal stories and struggles to afford their ring Diamond becomes physical embodiment of shared history Memorable Quote "Some things in life aren't meant to be measured on a balance sheet. When you're 90 years old, you won't be calculating compound interest you missed out on - you'll be remembering the moment you proposed and all the years that followed." The Bottom Line When you're 90, that diamond will still be sparkling, still carrying the weight of your shared history. Whatever you paid will seem like the bargain of a lifetime because some investments pay dividends that can't be measured in dollars.

Recap & reviews of the Italian films featured at the festival: "Diamonds" & "Diciannove." The post #51: The 51st Annual Seattle International Film Festival first appeared on Cinema Italiano Podcast.
Dr. Rob Gilbert is a legendary sports psychologist, professor, and performance coach who has been inspiring athletes, coaches, and leaders for over four decades. He is best known as the voice behind the iconic Success Hotline, where he has delivered a motivational message every single day—without missing a beat—for over 12,500 consecutive days. A professor at Montclair State University and a highly sought-after speaker, Dr. Gilbert has helped shape the mindset of champions around the world. His storytelling, humor, and heart have made him one of the most impactful voices in the world of mental performance.Reflection questions1. Energy and Self-Awareness:Dr. Gilbert emphasizes that 'energy is your edge' and talks about being aware of your energy levels throughout the day. Reflect on your typical day - when do you feel most energized and alive, and what specific activities, people, or environments contribute to those peak energy moments? How might you intentionally design more of these energy-giving experiences into your daily routine?"2. The Strategy vs. Talent Paradigm:Dr. Gilbert believes 'life is not a talent game, it's a strategy game.' Think about an area of your life where you've been relying on natural ability or hoping things will just work out. What specific strategies could you develop or implement to take more intentional control of that situation? How might shifting from a talent mindset to a strategy mindset change your approach?3. Untapped Potential - Your Personal 'Acres of Diamonds'The 'Acres of Diamonds' story suggests we often overlook the treasures right in front of us. What skills, opportunities, relationships, or resources do you currently have access to that you might be taking for granted or not fully utilizing? How could you begin to 'mine' these existing assets more effectively?4. Daily Consistency and Compound Impact:Dr. Gilbert has delivered over 12,500 daily motivational messages since 1992, demonstrating the power of small, consistent actions. What is one small but meaningful action you could commit to doing daily that would compound over time to create significant positive change in your life? What has prevented you from maintaining this type of consistency in the past, and how might you overcome those obstacles?5. Reframing Challenges as Opportunities:Throughout the conversation, Dr. Gilbert emphasizes finding the positive in difficult situations. Think about a current challenge or setback you're facing. How might this situation actually be preparing you for something greater, teaching you a valuable lesson, or opening doors you hadn't previously considered? What would it look like to approach this challenge with curiosity rather than resistance?Download my FREE Coaching Beyond the Scoreboard E-book www.djhillier.com/coach Download my FREE 60 minute Mindset Masterclass at www.djhillier.com/masterclassDownload my FREE top 40 book list written by Mindset Advantage guests: www.djhillier.com/40booksSubscribe to our NEW YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MindsetAdvantagePurchase a copy of my book: https://a.co/d/bGok9UdFollow me on Instagram: @deejayhillierConnect with me on my website: www.djhillier.com

A quick shout out, this being the modern equivalent of a tip of the hat to Richard, who has made a significant donation to help me host this series. I was flabbergasted when receiving the Paypal payment. We have communicated over the years so this is just to say, thank you from the bottom of my heart Richard. When I'm next in Ireland, I promise to buy you a couple of rounds of St James' Blessing. What's this? A cacophony of digging? Must be significant. The date is somewhere in March 1867. A month after young Erasmus Jacobs had found an interesting stone near Hopetown near the Free State Border, but also near the newly formed Transvaal and Griqualand. The world of diamonds swirls with myth and legend, fiction, fact. Diamonds glitter with dangerous promise — alluring but transient in their fortunes, hard as truth, and just as capable of cutting those who reach for them unprepared. The rock that was found at Hopetown was placed on the table of the Cape Assembly shortly thereafter by Sir Richard Southey, the Colonial Secretary with the words “Gentlemen, this is the rock on which the future success of South Africa will be built…” Before Southey's dramatic flourish, the initial response from officialdom was disbelief. For as long as anyone could remember, and this went all the way back to the VOC in 1660s, there had been rumours of great mineral treasure in the north. A kind of disinformation campaign was launched by Jan van Riebeeck because from the time of his arrival he expressed belief in the possibility of a successful search for the traditional golden realm of Monomotapa. It was imperative to drum up more cash for the new tavern of the seas, and he was trying to convince the VOC of the exaggerated value of their new outpost. And women in South Africa were taking notice, which probably from a 21st Century point of view appears somewhat unlikely. Mary Elizabeth Barber had an important role to play in South Africa's geological science. The year 1867 was characterised by drought, and a severe depression made worse by reports that the completion of the Suez Canal would ruin all trade with the Cape. So it wasn't a moment too soon, so to speak, that Diamonds were discovered. Nearly two hundred years had passed since van Der Stel's memorable expedition across what he called de Groote Rivier, the Gariep, the Orange. IT was on the Orange River, sixty kilometres above its junction with the Vaal River, that a village sprang up. Hopetown. By all reports a thriving little settlement, with a number of farms dotted along the river banks nearby. The Koranna and the Griqua lived nearby, at the towns of Pniel and Hebron. Switch to 1867. Picture the scene, sheep and goats, Erasmus Jacobs were doing what Boer boys did, he was roaming the veld, playing on the edge of the river. Here were garnets with their rich carmine flush, the fainter rose of the carnelian, the bronze of jasper, the thick cream of chalcedony, agates of motley hues, rock crystals shining in the light like beckoning stars. Lesser stones, not diamonds, nor valuable gems. From one of these multi-coloured beds Erasmus and his siblings filled their pockets with stones thinking they could play a game of ducks and drakes. For the uninitiated town based gaslight grazer, ducks and drakes is the game of skimming stones. Whomever skims the stone the furthest or with the most hops, wins. Simple game, but when you have no toys, stones are your friends. Luckily for the future of South Africa, Erasmus decided against skimming the diamond, and took it home. There it joined a pile of other shining stones he'd collected like a magpie. It was odd, this stone, and his widowed mother Mrs Jacobs mentioned it to a neighbour, the farmer Meneer Schalk van Niekerk.

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, host Karl Bryan flies solo and dives into listener questions on how to break through overwhelm, stay focused while building a coaching business, and ensure long-term client retention. Karl shares real-life coaching stories, mindset strategies, and tactical frameworks—including the famous “Florida Keys” treasure analogy—to help coaches gain clarity, set bigger goals, and stop self-sabotaging. He offers advice on eliminating distractions, designing irresistible value for clients, and using powerful frameworks to multiply productivity without burning out. Key Topics Covered Overcoming Overwhelm & Getting Focused Karl tackles the all-too-common struggle of “too many things to do,” revealing how to anchor motivation in long-term, compelling goals rather than day-to-day tasks. He draws on coaching conversations and wisdom from Tony Robbins—encouraging business coaches to design a “ridiculously monstrous, compelling future” that pulls them forward. Creating Powerful Intentions & Eliminating Distractions He unpacks the importance of intentionality over mere activity. Coaches must shift from operating towards their goals to operating from their goals. The size and clarity of your objectives directly shape your daily discipline—and whether your long-term or short-term self wins the daily battles. The Florida Keys Story – Belief, Tenacity & Worthiness Karl shares the Mel Fisher treasure-hunt parable: most coaches (and business owners) ask three core questions—Is it there? Am I the one to succeed? Will it be worth it?—and only those resolutely answering “Yes” endure setbacks to ultimately win. How to Add Real Value & Extend Client Retention Instead of just “adding more” (calls, homework, videos), Karl recommends focusing on distinctions—needle-moving insights and frameworks that compound results. He explains the Jumpstart 12 system, offers call-structure hacks (including shorter, more focused sessions), and reminds coaches that keeping clients isn't about time, but about tangible profit acceleration. Mindset Mastery: Embracing Suffering & Building Wisdom Karl's Zen lesson: suffering is the path to greatness, not something to be avoided. The willingness to fail, take imperfect action, and “shed skin” is what separates high performers from those stuck on the sidelines. Notable Quotes “You don't have a client problem, you don't have a money problem, you have a refusal to help people before they pay you problem.” “Operate from your goals, not towards your goals.” “If you have powerful goals, you will have powerful intentions.” “Focus is not focus. The way to get focused is to eliminate distractions, tasks, or even clients.” “Suffering is your path to your greatness. Diamonds are created under insane heat and pressure.” “Small hinges swing big doors—work on the needle-movers, not the busywork.” Actionable Takeaways Dream Bigger and Get Specific: Anchor yourself and your clients to a monstrous, compelling vision of the future—something worth pushing through obstacles for. Eliminate to Accelerate: Focus comes from subtracting tasks, projects, or even problematic clients. Use frameworks like the Jumpstart 12 to guide your priorities. Shorter, Smarter Calls: Switch to 30-minute sessions with supporting videos for maximum impact and efficiency—it's about insights, not meeting length. Serve Before You Sell: Embrace the mindset that your first job is to help—often before payment. This builds trust and long-term relationships. Embrace the Hard Stuff: Growth lies in suffering and setbacks. Don't fear mistakes or quitting—use those feelings to reignite your purpose and drive. Focus on Profit Acceleration: If you want to retain clients for years, make sure you aren't just coaching for the sake of it. Use proven frameworks to drive up profitability—it's the surest way to lasting relationships. Resources Mentioned Jumpstart 12: Karl's foundational coaching framework for focusing on the 12 drivers of profitability. Profit Acceleration Software™: Designed by Karl Bryan to accelerate client profits and demonstrate real-time ROI.

Send us a textIs sex is a human need within marriage? Let's address the tension between those who see "need" language as potentially coercive and those who feel legitimate sexual desires shouldn't be shamed. Psychological research does classify sex as a human need, but the real issue is how couples can co-create a reality for a mutually satisfying sexual relationship. Rather than pressuring reluctant partners, couples should focus on building marriages where both people genuinely want and enjoy sexual intimacy.BECOME ONE OF OUR MONTHLY DONORS:We're aiming for 50 new monthly donors, for even as little as $10 a month!

Episode 227 — a turning point not just in our nation's past, but in the arc of 19th-century global history. For soon, the earth will yield its glittering secret — the diamond — and with it, fortunes will rise, empires will stir, and the southern tip of Africa will be irrevocably transformed. But before we reach that seismic revelation, we journey first into the twilight of a king's life — to the basalt crown of Thaba Bosiu, where Moshoeshoe, the great architect of Basotho unity, faced the gravest challenge yet to his people's survival. The year is 1864, and a new figure steps onto the veldt's political stage — Johannes Brand, recently elected President of the Orange Free State. With his arrival came the end of internecine Boer squabbles. Now, unity of purpose would drive their ambitions — and that purpose turned toward Lesotho's land. Brand lost little time invoking Article 2 of the Treaty of Aliwal North — a clause etched into colonial parchment, defining the boundary between Free State territory and Moshoeshoe's realm. He wanted it honoured, and in the Boers' favour. The British High Commissioner, Philip Wodehouse — successor to Sir George Grey — responded, dispatching Aliwal North's Civil Commissioner, John Burnet, to parley with Moshoeshoe. There, among the towering ramparts of Thaba Bosiu, Burnet argued the line was law — the Warden Line, drawn in 1858, marked Moshoeshoe's northern limit. Yet Basotho families still tilled and dwelt across it. Not out of defiance, but memory — for those lands were ancestral, soaked in history and spirit. To demand a retreat across the Caledon River would have meant inciting his own chiefs, rupturing the very fabric of the Basotho world. Brand, determined to halt the Basotho's slow advance toward Harrismith and Winburg, convened the Volksraad. A special session summoned Governor Wodehouse, pleading for intervention to preserve peace — or impose it. By October 1864, Wodehouse had the contested boundary beaconed. But in a private memorandum — shaped by voices like Burnet's — he concluded what Moshoeshoe already knew in his bones: no treaty or beacon could reconcile the irreconcilable. For the Free State clung to the ink of 1858 — a document where Moshoeshoe had affixed his name to the Warden Line. But treaties are made on paper — and people live on land. On the 14th of November, Moshoeshoe called a *pitso* — a major assembly of his chiefs. It was a moment to speak freely, to vent frustration, and to wrestle with the reality of what lay ahead. In the end, they publicly committed to accepting Wodehouse's ruling. Molapo and Mopeli, though reluctant, began evacuating their villages. In the days that followed, a steady stream of men, women, and children made their way south — driving cattle, carrying bundles of corn, and taking with them whatever possessions they could manage. When Moshoeshoe appealed to President Brand for time to let Molapo's people finish harvesting, Brand agreed. They stayed through the summer, gathering the last of their crops, and left again in February 1865. By then, the land was quiet. According to British reports — and Moshoeshoe's own understanding — the disputed territory now stood empty of Basotho. But what neither he nor the British authorities knew was that the Boers were not content to leave it at that. A commando had already been mustered — eager to erase the memory of their defeat in 1858, and ready to strike. South Africa's history is marked by sudden turns — moments of violence, moments of discovery. Buried treasure, both literal and political, lies hidden until, almost by accident, it surfaces. Often, it's not strategy or foresight, but chance — a misstep, a stray decision — that reveals the vast wealth beneath. While the Boers and the Basotho were locked in brutal conflict, fighting for control of fertile valleys and mountain strongholds, something altogether different was unfolding a short distance away. A diamond would be discovered.
