"Tenacious D" is a comedy series that premiered on HBO in 1997, starring Jack Black and Kyle Gass as fictionalized versions of themselves The show follows the duo as they chase rock & roll glory while dealing with everything from writer's block to encounters with Sasquatch. Each episode blends absurd comedy with live performances of songs that would eventually become staples of the real-life Tenacious D. Despite premiering in 1997, "Tenacious D" had an unusual run, producing just three half-hour installments that aired sporadically. The TV show may have been short-lived, but Jack and Kyle certainly weren't, as Tenacious D went on to release albums, tour the world, and eventually star in their own feature film. But does their original HBO series totally rock, or is it one gig the D would rather forget? Listen as the S1E1 boys deep dive "The Search for Inspirado / Angel in Disguise" and find out. Starring: Jack Black, Kyle Gas, Paul F Tompkins, David Cross, Laura Milligan, & Laura Kightlinger www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD
Today, a former spy and the former Chief of Disguise for the CIA is taking you inside the heart-pounding world of espionage and the secret life she lived working undercover for 30 years. Jonna will share the tactics and strategies you need to read anyone and spot a liar, offer a powerful warning about the state of the world today, and give you practical wisdom to find courage and face life's hardest moments. For decades, Jonna helped intelligence officers assume new identities, disappear in plain sight, and carry out high-risk operations. Jonna created disguises convincing enough to fool the President of the United States and the Secret Service. Together, Jonna and her late husband, Tony Mendez, co-authored the bestselling book Argo about the CIA operation he led - the true story that inspired the Academy Award-winning film Argo. But what makes this conversation so powerful is not just the spy stories.It is Jonna's deeply personal reflection on courage, reinvention, trust, loss, and what it means to keep going when life feels scary or uncertain. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why courage does not come first and how confidence and preparation create it - How to stay calm under pressure - What 30 years in the CIA taught Jonna about trusting your intuition - The signs that someone may be trying too hard to convince you of a lie - Why direct eye contact is not the lie detector most people think it is - How Jonna would change the smallest details to make someone disappear in plain sight - Why you are never starting over when you make a major change - How to stop underestimating yourself and aim higher - Why nothing meaningful is accomplished alone - How taking small steps can help you face problems that feel too big to solve Jonna will tell you that courage is not something you either have or you do not. It comes from knowing what to do, preparing yourself, and confronting the things that scare you. After today, you'll understand how to build confidence, trust yourself under pressure, and have the courage to reinvent your life…at any age.

If you've ever thought grief was only for funerals and major loss, this episode will change how you see your own daily life. Bryson kicks off a new 8-episode season of Honey for Your Heart with her friend Randy Hemphill — congregational care pastor, counselor, and author of We Grieve Our Losses — as they lay the foundation for a season all about learning to grieve well. Together they unpack what grief actually is, why most of us were never taught how to do it, and the two most common ways we avoid it instead: hurry and control. This one might sting a little, in the best way. Take Randy's control assessment linked below, be honest with yourself about where you land, and if this hit home, send it to a friend who needs permission to slow down too.

The natural immunity framing from the COVID years carried the same premise underneath: strong enough to get through it and you live, and if not, that is simply how it goes. Applied to a country where most people accumulate two or three chronic conditions with age, that is a policy with a serious body count. Measles is already back at levels not seen in decades. Bouie's closing point is the one that stuck: Trump has no ideology beyond himself. The ideologues are Stephen Miller and Russ Vought - both of whom are happy to implement racist policies targeting those who are vulnerable in the US.

1. Bereishit & Days of Divine Will From the Sefer Agra d'Kala (5a), we learn that if we rearrange the letters of the word Bereishit ( בראשית ), it reveals profound messages. One anagram spells: א לול י מי ר צון ת שובו ב תשובה ש למה ( Elul yemei ratzon, tshuvu bi'tshuva shleimah — "Elul is a time of Divine favor; return with complete repentance" ). (Note: The first letters spell אי"ר תב"ש , an anagram of Bereishit). 2. The Lion that Roars A verse in Amos (3:8) states: א ריה ש אג מ י ל א י ירא , ה ׳ א לוהים ד בר מ י ל א י נבא ( "A lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who will not prophesy?" ). Who is this lion that roars? The lion refers to the month of Av , whose astrological sign ( mazal ) is Leo (the lion). However, taking the word Aryeh ( אריה —lion) and rearranging its letters yields: א — Elul , ר — Rosh Hashanah , י — Yom Kippur , ה — Hoshana Rabbah . What appears to be a scary lion is actually a progression of auspicious days to turn our spiritual standing around. The Parable of the Father in Disguise (from Rav Shimshon Pinchas): A father dresses up on Purim wearing a scary lion's head over his body. Seeing the terrifying lion, his young child runs away in fear. Then, recognizing his father's clothes, the child grabs his father's legs and cries, "Father, save me from the lion!" The month of Av can look like a scary lion, but it is really our Father in disguise. From Elul through Hoshana Rabbah, we peel back the disguise to see our Loving Father underneath. 3. The Pure Maiden ( Betulah ) and the Luz Bone The Sfat Emet (Parshat Vayelech) notes that the mazal of Elul is Betulah (a maiden/virgin). The Spiritual Untouched Core: Just as a maiden remains untouched, every Jewish person possesses a core within the depths of their soul that was never corrupted by negative forces—a part dedicated purely to God. While it is often hard to access, Elul is the time when we can find and reconnect with this pure spot. The Luz Bone Connection: This concept mirrors the Luz bone in the human body. Our Sages teach that when mankind sinned by eating from the Tree of Knowledge, death was introduced to every part of the body nourished by food. However, God instituted a safety plan: the Luz bone receives its nourishment solely from the meal eaten on Motzei Shabbat ( Seuda Revi'it ). Because it was never nourished by sin, it never decomposes and serves as the seed from which the body resurrects during Techiyat HaMetim . The Spiritual Luz : In time, the Arizal explains that just as the Luz bone is an untainted point in the physical body, Yom Kippur is the Luz in time—the day that remains pure and allows us to rejuvenate. Yom Kippur acts as the spiritual counterpart to Tisha B'Av (which corresponds to the Gid HaNasheh ). In space, the Ramchal tells us in physical space is the Kotel HaMa'aravi (Western Wall), which can never be destroyed. 4. Reading Nafelah in a New Light In Amos (5:2), there is a difficult verse that is omitted from the Ashrei prayer due to its negative association: נ פלה לא תוסיף קום בתולת ישראל ( "She has fallen, she will no longer rise, the maiden of Israel" ). However, Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Shklov ( Sefer Tmunat HaOtiot , p. 290) notes that the Sages read this verse with a different cadence and hope: נפלה, לא תוסיף [ לנפול ] — קום, בתולת ישראל ! ( "She has fallen, but she will fall no more—arise, maiden (Betulah/Elul) of Israel!" ). You have fallen to the lowest point possible; now, during the month of Betulah (Elul), it is time to arise and transform everything. 5. Spiritual Heart Surgery & Divine Assistance In Devarim (30:6), the Torah promises: ו מל ה ׳ א לוה i ך א ת ל בבך ו את ל בב ז רעך ( "And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring..." ). The initials of א ת ל בבך ו את ל בב spell ELUL ( אלול ). How does Elul connect to circumcising the heart? Rabbeinu Yonah ( Shaarei Teshuvah , Gate 1) opens his classic work by stating that God actively helps those who attempt to return beyond their natural capabilities, instilling in them a spirit of purity to reach true love of God. Non-Invasive Heart Surgery: God offers spiritual heart surgery—removing spiritual blockages and placing "stents" in our hearts. However, this process begins with our initiative: first, "And you shall return to the Lord your God," and then "God will circumcise your heart." The Magnet Analogy: A man is asked to jump high into the air. On his own, he can only jump so high—but as soon as he leaps, a powerful magnet above lifts him the rest of the way. When we make the initial move, God pulls us up. I Am My Beloved's: This echoes the iconic Elul acronym from Song of Songs (6:3): א ני ל דודי ו דודי ל י ( Ani LeDodi VeDodi Li — "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine" ). The Pri Tzaddik (Rosh Chodesh Elul, #2) explains: If I take the first step toward God ( Ani LeDodi ), then God responds by drawing close and refining my heart ( VeDodi Li ). The Hole of a Needle: As the Midrash ( Shir HaShirim Rabbah ) states in God's Name: "My children, open up for Me an opening of repentance as small as the eye of a needle, and I will open for you gates wide enough for wagons to enter." The Chofetz Chaim ( Zechor L'Miriam , Ch. 18) reassures us that God never places demands upon us that exceed our capabilities; He simply asks us to do what we can. 6. Lulei — Do Not Delay In Tehillim (27:13), recited throughout the High Holiday season, it says: לולא האמנתי לראות בטוב ה׳ בארץ חיים ( "Had I not (Lulei) believed that I would see the goodness of God in the land of the living..." ). The word Lulei ( לולא / לולי ) read backward spells Elul ( אלול ). Psalm 27 contains allusions to the entire season: "The Lord is my light" — Rosh Hashanah ; "And my salvation" — Yom Kippur ; "He will hide me in His pavilion" — Sukkot . To experience all these revelations, we need the preparation of Elul ( Lulei ). Furthermore, the Siftei Kohen (Rabbi of Aleppo, ~400 years ago) notes on Bereishit 44:14 that the word Lulei connects to Yehuda's words to Yosef: לולי התמהמהנו ( "Had we not delayed..." ). The Message of Lulei : Don't delay! When Elul arrives, do not wait until Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur to begin your spiritual work—start immediately. The Escaped Prisoner: Rabbeinu Yonah ( Shaarei Teshuvah , Letter 2) notes that when a person delays Teshuvah , their accountability increases. It is like a prisoner whose cell door is unlocked: if he remains inside, it shows he is comfortable in his captivity. The 40-Day Journey The 40 days of favor—from Rosh Chodesh Elul through Yom Kippur—begin at the very start of Rosh Chodesh (starting 30 Av / 1 Elul). An allusion to these 40 days is found in the final letters of אני לדודי ודודי לי : אנ י (10) + לד ود י (10) + ודוד י (10) + ל י (10) = 40 days. May we all take full advantage of these holy days of Elul and draw closer to Hakadosh Baruch Hu .
Send us Fan MailThis conversation wasn't supposed to begin this way - but maybe that's exactly why it became so powerful. What started as a casual pre-show conversation between two women quickly turned into one of the most candid and vulnerable conversations I've ever shared on the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast. When I started recording, I had no idea that somehow, we were also LIVE.Yes. LIVE. And apparently, my guest noticed before I did! By the time I realized what was happening, we were already about 11 or 12 minutes into some REALLY good stuff. She said, “This is all the good stuff!” And she was right. So, we kept going. And I'm so glad we did. My guest, Jane Bond, is an Identity Strategist, Reinvention Coach, Realtor, host of the Unpack Your Life Podcast, and creator of the Identity Rebuild App. Together, we get REAL about fear, self-doubt, regret, people-pleasing, ambition, exhaustion, and what happens when the life you've built no longer feels quite like the life you want. Jane explains why fear can be so difficult to recognize - sometimes it doesn't look like fear at all. It looks practical. Responsible. Logical. And that hit home for me.Jane and I actually met several years ago when her office was in the same building as my husband's. At one point, she offered me an opportunity to enter the real estate business. I wanted to do it, but I had plenty of perfectly reasonable reasons for saying no. Looking back, however, I can see that fear and a lack of self-trust played a much bigger role in my decision than I realized at the time.We also talk about the difference between confidence and self-trust, why failure is simply “data,” the pressure so many women feel to keep performing and producing, and why reinvention isn't necessarily about becoming someone new. Sometimes it's about returning to who you were all along. Jane also shares her five-step identity framework and introduces the Identity Rebuild App, designed to help people examine the identities they've carried, let go of what no longer serves them, and intentionally move forward. Luvvies, this one is raw. It's funny. It's vulnerable. And yes - at times, it gets VERY real. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it. CHEERS to Healthy Aging and Joyful Living, Luvvies!________________________ABOUT JANE BOND: Identity Strategist | Speaker | HostI'm Jane Bond, a high-level coach and strategist for people who are successful on the outside but know, deep down, that something needs to shift.My work lives at the intersection of identity, clarity, and execution.

What if the most mythical unreleased album in music history actually dropped? In this episode of Hip Hop What Ifs, D and 12 Kyle (from the 12 Kyle Podcast) take a deep dive into Dr. Dre's legendary, shelved project, Detox. Announced around 2002 as Dre's final concept album and magnum opus, Detox became rap's ultimate urban legend before officially being shelved in 2015 in favor of Compton. We break down the timeline, leaked tracks like "Kush" and "I Need a Doctor," and iconic beats that were repurposed for other megastars—including 50 Cent's "In Da Club" and Kendrick Lamar's "The Recipe". Plus, we discuss how Detox could have re-established West Coast dominance, the ripple effect on artists like Rakim, Eve, and Stat Quo, Dre's studio perfectionism, and a debate on Jay-Z's discography.

On this episode, we're unpacking three little words that can land like a compliment or a slap depending on who's saying them: "you've changed." We're getting into why your growth can quietly threaten the people who knew the old you, why old friendship groups notice the moment you stop drinking, start saying no, or want different things, and why it stings most when you weren't ready to let those people go either. Because the meaning you attach to "you've changed" is what decides whether it breaks you or frees you. We're also getting personal and sharing where this has played out in our own lives. If you've ever felt outcast for simply becoming more yourself, this one's for you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A friend of mine, a mom with several young children, told me recently that her kids' favorite thing to do is play dress-up. They want to do it all day long, even the boys. Of course, it makes a glorious mess. As we visited, she asked me about the value of this interest she was seeing in her kids, and it opened up a wonderful conversation. Today I will share some effective ideas on how to harness the joy of dressing up and learning in a family activity. They work for little kids and teens. They can be so family-connecting!

” She was a quiet rebel in class, a diamond sifter in a gravel pitCaroline Aherne left Manchester with a comedic legacy that went on to redefine British TV.One of the many people she inspired is Dave Scott, the poet and author who you might know better as Argh Kid. Dave's latest book ‘Rebel in Disguise', is a love letter to Caroline's work as a writer, actress and comedian.Host Lisa Morton recorded this conversation at the We Built This City afternoon tea at Cloud 23 in The Manchester Deansgate Hotel, to celebrate the launch of Dave's book.Dave has built a career out of finding the poetry in the lives of everyday Mancunians; from the phrases, the humour and the heart that makes this city region different. So it's no surprise that Caroline and The Royle Family had a huge impact on him. As you'll hear him say, watching the show felt just like watching his own family; something many people who grew up in Greater Manchester will resonate with.In this episode, you'll hear why Dave believes Caroline was Greater Manchester's greatest artist; why he wanted to make her the focus of his next book, and you'll also hear readings from the book that beautifully encapsulate Caroline's genius.--------------------Your host, Lisa Morton, started PR company Roland Dransfield in 1996, one month after the fateful IRA bomb that tore apart the city centre. From that point, the business and its team members have been involved in helping to support the creation of Modern Manchester – across regeneration, business, charity, leisure and hospitality, sport and culture.To celebrate the 30 years that Roland Dransfield has spent creating these bonds, Lisa is gathering together some of her Greater Mancunian ‘family' and will be exploring how they have created their own purposeful relationships with the best place in the world.Connect with Dave and buy his bookVia Instagram Get the bookConnect with Lisa and Roland Dransfield:Via our websiteOn InstagramOn X Thanks to our partners on this episode of We Built This City, Car Finance 247.

There's a popular new playbook for running an "AI-native" company. Record everything, put all your data in one place, and let an AI agent reach all of it. The productivity story is real. New hires ramp up in days, and the whole company can ask questions it never could before. But the same moves that create the speed also switch off safeguards that some businesses are not allowed to switch off. So, which controls are we turning off to get this speed, and are we allowed to? Your hosts are Kip Boyle, CISO with Cyber Risk Opportunities, and Jake Bernstein, Partner with K&L Gates.

We treat perfectionism like a badge of honor. Igor calls it what it really is: a socially acceptable way for smart people to avoid taking action. In this episode, he makes the case that being a perfectionist is quietly responsible for keeping people broke, stuck, and miserable — and that no trick, method, or pill fixes it. The only cure is building the muscle of imperfect action: launching the campaign, sending the email, shipping the book before it feels ready. Because "ready" doesn't exist, done beats perfect, and nothing you put into the world is ever truly final.

Most HR leaders think a resignation starts the day someone hands in their notice. It doesn't. It starts months earlier, the moment someone decides it's no longer worth speaking up. And almost nobody in HR is measuring it.This episode is sponsored by Deel.Hire, manage and pay, anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/In this episode of @thehrldpodcast, Nick Day, CEO at JGA Recruitment Group, breaks from his usual format for the first time in more than 200 episodes. There is no guest this time, just Nick, a microphone, and one idea he cannot stop thinking about. After 24 years of exit interviews and placing over 10,000 professionals across 40+ countries, he has built his own coaching framework around fear. This episode is where he unpacks it in full.Nick introduces the idea of the fear tax, the invisible cost every organisation pays when people stop raising problems, ideas, and concerns out loud, and breaks down why silence looks like a wellbeing problem but spends like a balance sheet one. He contrasts a manager who unknowingly built a culture of fear with a leader whose team openly flagged a critical mistake before it went public, walks through his own fear equation of anxiety plus uncertainty multiplied by imagination, and explains why fear in capable people rarely looks like fear at all, instead disguising itself as caution, busy bravery, perfectionism, or imposter syndrome. He also shares the BOLD protocol, a four step method for catching fear in the three second window before it wins, backed by research from Stanford and UCLA, and gets personal about a lesson he learned the hard way with his own father.In a world where HR is expected to protect culture, retain top talent, and prove ROI on every initiative, this episode makes the case that the biggest lever HR has never measured is right in front of them. It is whether people feel safe enough to speak.A must-listen for HR leaders, people managers, and anyone who has ever sat in a meeting, known exactly the right thing to say, and said nothing.Enjoyed this?

Does choosing a life-first solo business mean you're lazy? Carly and Joe say absolutely not, and in this episode they explain why.They dig into where the lazy story really comes from, tracing hustle culture from chill seventies hippie vibes to the money-obsessed yuppies of the eighties, and how that conditioning taught us to equate visible sacrifice with worth. From the outside, a life-first business can look like doing less, fewer hours, no team, no big launches. But the truth is the opposite. Laziness is the avoidance of effort. Life-first is the intentional allocation of effort.Carly shares a personal story about her and her husband seeing downtime completely differently, and how fifteen years of his perspective reshaped how she views rest and efficiency. Joe brings his own history of sleeping in the lab and feeling accomplished for it, and why he calls that mindset a warped one he still works to overcome.The conversation also gets honest about the flip side. Sometimes life-first becomes a costume for fear or procrastination. The hosts share the gut-check questions every solopreneur should ask to make sure a boundary is really a boundary and not just avoidance of something hard.The takeaway is simple. Lazy has no plan. Life-first is all plan, all design.In this episodeWhere hustle culture actually came fromThe real difference between lazy and life-firstWhy dinner with your family can count as your workThe gut check to know if you're avoiding hard thingsHow to redefine success on your own termsIf this episode spoke to you, share it with a fellow solopreneur and leave us a five-star review!
In the headlines today, violence in Narathiwat is escalating and becoing deadly, then, a Cambodian migrant working is accusing police of extortion, in crime news more troublemakers are turning to disguise themselves as foreigners to commit their crimes, also, a New Zealand teen has been granted bail after an alleged theft watch at an airport, then finally in sports news there's been a major shakeup at the highest echelons of Muay Thai at One Championship.
Most people don't have a short attention span. They have a low threshold for boredom.Netflix asks "are you still watching?" and you always say yes when the story's good. The same thing happens in a boardroom, on a stage, in a pitch meeting. People don't tune out because they can't focus. They tune out because you gave them a reason to.So what makes some speakers impossible to look away from, while others lose the room in the first thirty seconds?It's not charisma. It's not luck. It's a handful of specific, learnable habits: how fast you get to the point, how often you deliver something worth hearing, and whether you're brave enough to say something only you could say.In this episode, I break down exactly how I coach CEOs, TEDx speakers, and total beginners to hold a room's attention from the first second to the last. You'll learn why you have one tenth of a second to make a first impression, why "rate of revelation" matters more than most people realize, and why stories beat spreadsheets every single time.I also share the exact opening formula I use before every talk, the reason AI generated content falls flat no matter how polished it looks, and a personal story about my son that shows why none of this works without honesty.If you've ever watched someone speak and thought "why can't I do that," this episode is the answer.Apply to work with me: https://www.michaelxcampion.com/Connect with me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelxcampion/(00:00) Why Public Speaking Fear Is Universal(01:20) It's Not About You: Serve the Idea, Not the Ego(02:36) Nervous or Excited?

Are Old Rules Blocking Your Money, Freedom & Divine Guidance? You may say you want freedom, money, purpose and a life that actually feels like you — but what if old rules, religious dogma, family expectations, cultural conditioning and fear are still quietly choosing your life for you? In this SpiritSpeaks Experience, Rosemary Nonny Knight shares a Divine Download about why freedom is an active choice, why ambitious spiritual people often filter Divine guidance through old programming, and why the life you keep calling “practical” may be the very thing keeping you from manifesting the money and resources you need to live luxuriously in your purpose. This is for ambitious spiritual people who are ready to stop living by inherited limitations and start choosing a free, fulfilled, financially abundant, love-drenched life. In this video, we explore: * Why freedom has to be chosen moment by moment, especially when old rules, fear and other people's expectations still feel “normal.” * How hidden beliefs about money, responsibility, spirituality and purpose may be blocking the abundance and freedom you say you want. * Why Divine guidance can become distorted when you are listening through guilt, fear, dogma, tradition or the need to be accepted. Ready to understand the deeper elements required to manifest money through your gifts, skills, spiritual wisdom, expertise and life experience?

Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. The focus shifts to Charles I and his favorite advisor, the Duke of Buckingham. In a bizarre 1623 incident, Charles and Buckingham traveled in disguise to Madrid to secure a marriage with the Spanish Infanta, hoping to gain wealth and influence. The mission was a humiliating failure, leading to a shift toward war with Spain. James I ended his reign ill and disillusioned as his peaceful foreign policy collapsed. Upon his death in 1625, the 24-year-old Charles I inherited a massive debt of one million pounds, forcing an immediate and fractious confrontation with Parliament. (2)22642

Add up your income from the last six months, then imagine losing your single biggest client tomorrow. For a lot of freelance writers, that one client covers half the income, or more. If that's you, this episode is about the biggest risk you might be carrying right now and what to do about it. I start by reframing what independence actually means for a solo writer. You never stop depending on something. The real question is whether you chose those dependencies on purpose or slowly adopted them without noticing. Then I get specific about the most common one, the single anchor client. I tell the story of how a great, reliable client can grow into 60 percent of your income before you realize it. Then they lose an account, and most of your business is gone in one email. From there, I give you a few practical recommendations: how to run your own concentration number, how to build a second income leg before you need it, where AI genuinely helps, and how to keep a little marketing going even when you're full. What You'll Learn A simple way to measure how much of your business rides on one client, and the number that should worry you Why you never really stop depending on something, even when you're solo, and the dependency most of us drift into The four places concentration hides: one client, one referral source, one channel, one type of work How a great, reliable client can become your biggest risk without you noticing Three practical recommendations for spreading your income so no single client can sink you Where AI genuinely helps you take on more work without burning out Why reducing your reliance on a great client feels disloyal, and why it isn't The one small step to start this week Key Ideas & Takeaways 1. You Never Stop Depending on Something. Going solo doesn't remove dependence. You depend on clients, on referral sources, and on the channels where work comes from. The writers who last choose those dependencies on purpose, instead of slowly adopting them without noticing. 2. The Risk Hiding Inside a Great Client. The better the client, the easier it is to let them grow into most of your income. A reliable agency client becomes 60 percent of your business, you stop marketing, and then they lose an account. In one email, most of your income is gone. 3. A Big Client Can Be a Job in Disguise. When one client is half your income or more, you don't have a business with clients. You have a job with one boss, and none of the protection, perks, or benefits a real job provides. You've taken on all the risk of employment and kept none of the safety. 4. Run Your Concentration Number. Add up what each client paid you over the last year and find the percentage your biggest one represents. If it's over 40 or 50 percent, that's your project for the quarter. You don't have to panic. You just have to know it. 5. Build a Second Leg Before You Need It. The aim is to grow a second and third source of income around your big client, so no single one can sink you. You keep the big client. You just stop letting them be the only thing holding you up. 6. AI Buys You the Bandwidth to Diversify. Most of us let a big client take over because we're already maxed out. When used properly, AI takes a lot of the production load off your plate, the research, the first drafts, the repetitive pieces. Those freed-up hours are what let you take on another client without working nights and weekends. 7. The Hard Part Is Emotional. Reducing your reliance on a great client can feel ungrateful, even disloyal. But diversifying protects you and your family when something goes wrong on their end, and that's usually out of your control. That's just being a responsible owner of your business. Action Steps Run your concentration number this week. Add up last year's income by client and find your biggest client's percentage. Over 40 to 50 percent means it's time to act. Pick one realistic second leg: a new type of client, a new channel, or a new service. Take one small step toward it this week. Hand one production task to AI (research, a first draft, a repetitive piece) so you free up hours for finding that next client. Block one or two hours a week for marketing, even while you're full, so your pipeline never goes cold. Think about where your income is too concentrated, then start building, one small step at a time, over the next few weeks.
"We have a trove of treasure. These are the case studies, and we need the case studies - these are the flora and fauna of our field. This is how we work. We work by reading case studies and they enrich us. Not only do they enrich the community, but they also enrich us as therapists who write their case studies, and they get to be involved in deeper layers of the actual case study. When we write a case study we are in a better position to understand the patient, and we are in a better position to convey that knowledge to the psychoanalytic community. But as you said, it's a big challenge. Psychodynamic case studies belong to the genre of creative nonfiction. They are like memoirs, biographies, all are based on truth and imagination. This dual form of truth, what actually happened and imagination, is very important to our genre. But we are different from those who write memoirs or biographies, because we have responsibility to our patients and to our community." Episode Description: Aner views case reports as the Rosetta Stones of our field. We discuss the nature of the 'creative non-fiction' that is inherent in writing about the nuanced, intimate and affectively alive experience that is dynamic treatment. He shares his commitment to maintaining "responsible creativity" in writing about this work and always keeps in mind protecting the dignity of the patient. Aner recognizes the vulnerability that the therapist also undergoes in revealing themselves to the reader and alerts us to "clinical narcissism" - the temptation to exhibit oneself in place of sharing the authenticity of the clinical encounter. He presents the different phases of a deepening treatment along with the understanding that they are inherently schematic and removed from the aliveness of the dyad. He shares vignettes that are understood through a Kleinian, Winnicottian and Relational lens and closes noting that "effective clinical writing is as much an art as a science requiring technical proficiency, creative insight and literary skills." Our Guest: Aner Govrin, PhD, is a psychoanalyst, philosopher, and clinical psychologist. He is the director of a doctoral program, "Psychoanalysis and Hermeneutics," at The Program for Hermeneutics & Cultural Studies, Bar-Ilan University. He is a member of the Tel-Aviv Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis (TAICP) and Editor of the Routledge series Introductions to Contemporary Psychoanalysis. He also conducts workshops on psychodynamic case-study writing and on a range of psychoanalytic topics at the Tavistock, as well as in training programs in the United States, England, China and Israel.

In this episode, Ryan Burge and Sam explore the rise of non-denominational Christianity and ask a provocative question: are non-denoms essentially just Southern Baptists without the label? Drawing on recent survey data, this conversation examines how non-denominational Christians compare to America's largest Christian traditions in age, racial diversity, church attendance, and views of the Bible. The trends suggest that non-denominational churches are not simply a rebranded version of older evangelical traditions. They may represent a significant part of the future of American Protestantism. The post The Burge Report: Are Non-Denominational Churches Just Southern Baptists in Disguise? appeared first on Church Answers.

Patrick K. O'Donnell introduces Captain John Charles Carpenter and the Jesse Scouts, a Union special forces group named after Jesse Frémont. Emerging from the Missouri insurgency, these scouts utilized 21st-century tradecraft such as disguises and infiltration to gather intelligence behind enemy lines. Simultaneously, the Confederacy enacted the Partisan Ranger Act to organize irregular fighters like John Singleton Mosby. Operating in "Mosby's Confederacy," these rangers conducted asymmetrical warfare that tied down thousands of Union troops. Both sides grappled with the lack of discipline in these units, yet recognized their strategic brilliance in modern irregular combat. (1)1863
