Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. This is the recording of our second live public event, which recently took place in London. Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino are joined on stage by special guest Ocean Vuong, Vietnamese American poet, essayist, and novelist. Their conversation explores the themes of joy, togetherness, and cultivating courage in the face of hardship and suffering; the role of language, narrative, and technology in shaping modern experiences of suffering and joy; intergenerational trauma; and more. All three share personal experiences and insights about finding meaning and community amidst individual and collective challenges. Ocean recollects the way that, growing up in a community impacted by the opioid crisis, Buddhism and the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh provided solace and a path to understanding suffering, while Brother Phap Huu reflects on his journey to become a Zen Buddhist monk, and the role of kindness, fearlessness, and vulnerability in his practice. The discussion culminates with a chant offered by Ocean as a message of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.

Merwin. “Being a Vietnamese person in the diaspora, for many of us, the temple or the church or what have you is the place where we hear Vietnamese at the longest unbroken duration. Whereas someone native to Vietnam would hear it all the time. So, to this day, the Vietnamese language, to me, elicits this collective desire to heal and understand suffering. And it’s very specific to the immigrant. It’s what I call a third culture: there’s nothing like it in the homeland; there’s nothing like it in the assimilated American ethos. But there’s this special place that displacement and violence created.” “In Plum Village, when I first entered, I was 13 years old, and I touched a kind of kindness that I’d never touched before. And I asked myself whether I could be a kind person. I think I’m good; I think I’m going to have a career of offering smiles.” “I invite us, as a collective, to invoke this peace that we can bring in our hearts and into the world at this moment. Body, speech, and mind in perfect oneness. I send my heart along with the sound of this bell. May the hearers awaken from forgetfulness and transcend the path of anxiety and sorrow.” “Just a smile can save someone’s life.” “Technology was supposed to bring us together. This is the promise of the Enlightenment. But it’s interesting that all technological movements or renaissances are controlled by the wealthy and the elites. So what I’m interested in, as a writer, as a teacher, is that so much of our world is about material resources and narrative. And this is why I tell my students, ‘They shame you for being a poet, for being a writer: “Oh, you’re doing this liberal arts, naval-gazing, decadent thing, dreaming”' – but the politicians and the elites are poets too. The greatest political speech is the anaphora. Walt Whitman used it as a catalog, but you hear it: ‘We will heal the working class, we will heal the great divide, I will solve, we will heal this country’s heart, we will heal the middle class.' And that's why the anaphora is so useful: because it doesn’t have to explain itself.” “All those in power are also poets. They’re manipulating meaning, but for votes, for profit, for power, towards fascism. And no wonder the system is designed to make you ashamed to be an artist. It’s so interesting, isn’t it, that, in the art world, we’re often asked to be humble, to be grateful for a seat at the table; to perform humility. And I think humility is good; as a Buddhist, I believe in it, but there is a discrepancy here: we never tell people on Wall Street to be humble. You never hear someone say, ‘You know what, we killed it last quarter, so let’s tone it down and be grateful that we have a seat at the economic table.'” “Kindness is more difficult now than ever because I think kindness is something that is deeply dependent on our proximity to suffering. It’s harder for us to comprehend suffering, now. Schadenfreude is in our hands and it’s always easier to see. We’ve normalized suffering so much that we’ve been disassociated from it.” “We speak about inclusiveness and equanimity in Buddhism, but we’re not equal. Some of us are born in places where we have more privileges: in a particular race, in a particular situation, in a particular year. But what is equal is, as human beings, we’re all going to grow old, we’re all going to get sick, we’re all going to have to let go of what we think is permanent. And we’re going to learn to live deeply in the present moment.” “Sadness becomes not just a feeling, but knowledge. So think about sadness as knowledge, as potential, and that anger even has an aftermath. And you realize that the aftermath of anger is care.” “The big trouble with masculinity is that we are not given the ability or the permission to feel and be vulnerable – but we are encouraged to have absolute agency. It’s incredible. It’s a perfect storm of violence: ‘Don’t feel, don’t interrogate, and don’t be vulnerable. But, meanwhile, go get ‘em, buddy.'” “Under our greatest fear is our greatest strength.” “Camus says that writing itself is optimism, because it’s suffering shared. Even if you write about the darkest things, it is optimistic because someone else will recognize it. And recognition is a democratic ideal, because it means that one feeling could then be taken and collaborated with.” “It’s really hard to convince people to go to war, historically. You need a lot of text, you need a lot of airwaves, you need a lot of speeches to convince people to go to war – but it's very easy to convince people to stop war. Very easy for people to stop armament. Difficult for folks who are in control to keep it up, but if you ask the general population, ‘Do you want peace?', it’s quick. So that gives me a little hope.” “In fast food is a kind of sinister beauty, because it’s an industrialized promise of absolute replication of fulfillment – and yet it’s a kind of poison as well. It’s like the ultimate democratic ideal, sadly: we can’t have equality, income equality, or healthcare, but we can all eat McDonald’s French fries, and, whether you’re a billionaire or a houseless person, it will taste the same. Likewise with Coca-Cola, etc. In a way it’s the sinister capaciousness of the American dream: you can all feel the same thing while you’re all slowly dying.”

One of the biggest problems I see with today's society is that we struggle to have difficult talks. Anytime someone has a different opinion than ours. We get really defensive combative and we shut everybody out. The most damaging thing that we do is we stop talking. There are no solutions that have ever come from people not talking. You have to be able to communicate with people who don't agree with you or see the world like you do. Let's talk about it.
On today's show, Scoot talks about the unfairness that the disgraced Jeffery Vappie is still collecting a pension for not doing anything while under a federal indictment, how this generation handles conflict resolution differently from previous generations, rapper BigXThaPlug performing at the Ryman Auditorium, the increasing problem of elderly cocaine users, and more.

Nebraska is 5-1 for the 2nd straight season---last year, the Huskers then lost 4 straight games before beating Wisconsin to get bowl-eligible. You take any win you can get, but there's concerns about a variety of things after the Maryland win We didn't know how good Nebraska was last year at 5-1 and they went on to get destroyed by Indiana the next game. Next up for Nebraska is Minnesota, who scuffled with Purdue at home…but look at Michigan---pounded at home by USC….and also, Michigan State—who was more physical than Nebraska last week---got pummeled at home by UCLA.

Scripture Reading: John 1:9-13Speaker: Jim AngehrSeries: "The Gospel of John"
In this episode, Ryan McCready, content leader turned Principal Content Engineer at Demostack, opens up about the moments that shaped his path: hacking distribution in the early “monoculture SEO” days, sharpening his voice through roles at Foundation, Reforge, and Whimsical, and facing his first layoff. He shares candid stories about creator burnout after viral teardowns, being the last marketer standing after cuts, and the gut punch of being told he hadn't delivered on a role that had completely changed. When the market went quiet, Ryan turned the setback into a story on LinkedIn, igniting a thousand DMs, weeks of interviews, and a fresh sense of momentum.Now, as a builder and editor who treats vulnerability like a career asset, Ryan talks about measuring success in relationships, not just metrics, documenting your receipts, keeping your voice, and sending that DM. He breaks down the unglamorous parts of leadership: giving and receiving hard feedback, guarding against plagiarism, and aligning work with products that actually have staying power, while showing how practical AI and automation can clear the busywork so you can create with intention.In this conversation, you'll learn:How vulnerability, done thoughtfully, can unlock opportunity, community, and your next rolePractical ways to productize your “receipts” with AI or automation so your wins market themselvesHow to deliver and absorb tough editorial feedback while protecting quality and your own voiceThings to listen for:(00:00) Intro(01:34) Ryan's early career and content creation journey(04:19) Navigating career challenges and feedback(09:37) Thank you to our sponsor, Navattic(11:04) Giving and receiving feedback(14:58) On being a team player(17:41) The importance of adaptability(31:18) The power of vulnerability in job hunting(35:39) Creating a strong online presence(41:57) Difficult conversations in leadership(51:16) Building professional relationshipsA huge thanks to this episode's sponsor:Navattic: Interactive Product Demo Software - https://navattic.com/value Resources:Connect with Ryan:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-mccready Demostack: https://www.demostack.com/ Connect with Andrew:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewcapland/ Substack: https://media.deliveringvalue.coHire Andrew as your coach: https://deliveringvalue.co/coachingJoin Growth OS: https://deliveringvalue.co/growth-operating-system

A few months in she started complaining about him and what she didn't like in and out of the bedroom. Then she got sick and he became her caretaker and the sex stopped. Eventually he left & realizes it was a mistake to stay.If you have not read my book, “How To Be A 3% Man” yet, that would be a good starting place for you.

Send me a Text Message!There is a booklet which has been used by God to lead many people to believe in Jesus. It's called the "The Four Spiritual Laws." Maybe you've read it. The first law is this, "God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life." I believe that law is true, especially looking back. But what if the flip-side is also true? God loves you and has a difficult plan for your life.Not too many Xtian best-sellers incorporate that into their title. Not too many songs about the God who plans to make our lives difficult; and if he really loves us and is really pleased by us...well get ready for really difficult. But perhaps that's what Jesus meant when he said, "Blessed are those who are persecuted..." Don't skip this one...just because you don't like the title. :)

Oklahoma State named Clint Bowen as their interim DC after Todd Grantham was fired—and he's served in an interim role before also when he took over for Charlie Weis at Kansas, going 1-7 following the firing as interim head coachBowen had served as the head coach of Lawrence (KS) High School the last few years before joining Mike Gundy's staff last year, and he told media that being a high school head coach is tougher than any interim job at any level---saying it's a 24/7 job, you're raising money to buy shoes, raising money to buy food, trying to get equipment money raised, and taking kids home/meeting with parents. Have we ever stopped to think about this for a second?

The best flavor combination the Gospel has to offer: a little bit of sweet, a little bit of salty. Sometimes we can look at parts of the Gospel and think, “That sounds hard—I don't like what that means.” And you're not alone in that. But today, Allen makes a surprising comparison between the Gospel and a Reese's cup to show us how the salty parts of the Gospel can make its message that much sweeter.
