All Gas No Brakes and Channel 5 documentarian Andrew Callaghan decodes the variables that have transformed American minds from rational to radical.Jordan's must reads (including books from this episode): AcceleratEdFull show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1156What We Discuss with Andrew Callaghan:Conspiracy theories serve as collective self-soothing mechanisms in chaotic times. They provide the comforting illusion that someone has a plan when life feels out of control, offering simple answers to complex questions.Political radicalization often stems from unprocessed trauma. January 6th Capitol rioters weren't random — 60% had filed for bankruptcy, 20% lost homes, and 50% were in severe debt, channeling personal grievances into a spiritual war.Modern media thrives on micro-traumatic digital content that triggers cortisol through outrage. Both mainstream and alternative outlets deploy this tactic, explaining why casual podcasts now frequently outperform traditional news.Social media and technology addiction are creating profound disconnection. Andrew predicts Generation Alpha's children will likely rebel against technology, viewing phone use the way we now view cigarettes — as an obviously harmful habit.Community connection matters more than material success. The most resilient people aren't those with wealth or status but those with strong human bonds. Building genuine relationships with neighbors and friends creates a safety net for life's inevitable challenges.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Summary: In this episode of Be a Smarter Homeowner, Beth Dodson and John Bodrozic dive into a topic you might not think about often — what's hiding inside your storage unit or other outbuildings? Whether it's transitional moves, seasonal gear, heirlooms, or forgotten treasures, too many people lose track of what they own simply because it's out of sight. Beth and John break down why it's critical to inventory your storage units, sheds, barns, or other structures — and how doing so can save you money, protect your investments, and ease the burden on your family in the future. They share real-life stories (including some pretty wild finds!), practical tips for getting started with a simple photo inventory, and why HomeZada makes managing all these spaces easier than ever. You'll also hear how taking just a few hours upfront can prevent the costly mistakes of duplicate purchases, lost heirlooms, and even unwanted appearances on shows like Storage Wars! This is a must-listen if you have any kind of off-site or extra storage — and even if you think you don't! Chances are, you've got more stored away than you realize. Takeaways People often forget what they have in storage units. Storage units are used for transitional moves and seasonal items. Climate-controlled storage is important for items like wine and art. Documenting items helps avoid duplicate purchases. An inventory can assist in estate planning and passing on belongings. Taking photos of items can simplify inventory management. Hiring professionals can ease the burden of inventorying storage units. Organizing storage units can save time in the long run. Understanding what's in storage can prevent unnecessary expenses. Communication with heirs about storage contents is crucial. Sound Bites "I can't remember what was in them." "It's super easy to take an inventory." "Documenting is a huge reason to inventory." "You may be able to see large items." "It's a waste of money." "You can hire somebody to do it."

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.What remains of Caribbean identity when our most treasured traditions begin to shift? Bridging thoughts from our recent episodes, I tackle this profound question on cultural evolution. Caribbean culture has never been static—born from struggle, layered with influences, and shaped by resistance, our traditions have always been in motion. But what do we make of it when these traditions are to slip away?There is a natural grief or worry in this loss, but perhaps we can also consider that culture never truly disappears; it simply translates and transforms. The heart of Caribbean identity persists in unexpected places. Our indomitable spirit of rhythm and rebellion continues today as we adapt to new technologies and circumstances. This isn't to dismiss the importance of preservation. Documenting stories, supporting local artists, and archiving our heritage matters deeply. But we can simultaneously honor what's fading while celebrating what's being born.What does being Caribbean mean to you when old ways shift? Do you see echoes of our traditions in new forms?

Continuing our series on defining farmers markets we like to wonder: what if everyone in a region or in the country agreed on one set of best practices and one set of rules for farmers markets? In this episode we're talking with Dr. Kim Hutchison and Meredith Ledlie Johnson about how the Virginia Farmers Market Association has done just that. Bringing in multiple stakeholders helped create consistent standards. Education and certification of managers and farmers markets provides validation and a sense of pride. Leveraging that recognition to negotiate managers' compensation and public policy are additional benefits. Listen in as we talk about: Creating consistent standards Recognizing our industry's strengths Bringing multiple agencies to the table Documenting the work we do How certification affects salaries Today's episode of Tent Talk, the Farmers Market Podcast, is supported by American Farmland Trust

From daily walk-in videos to clips of my workouts, I'm documenting my progress in a way that not only tracks physical change, but also reflects the work I've done around body image and self-confidence.I talk about how difficult it used to be to show my full body on camera, let alone share how I walk. I've been leaning into this discomfort and using content as a way to tell my story—not to fit in, but to stand out. I also get into something new I've been doing: writing messages on coffee cups as part of my “Caffeine with Compassion” project. What started as a deeply personal struggle with handwriting as a kid has turned into something I now proudly share.This episode is a reminder that the things we've hidden away can become the things that make us most powerful.

The idea of a pristine kitchen with clean countertops feels distinctively American, or an all-American idealist. However, the concept of the American ideal, or the American dream, desperately needs to be challenged. How better to do that than through food? My guest this week, author and filmmaker Jill Damatac, does just that in her new memoir, Dirty Kitchen: A Memoir of Food and Family. Jill was born in the Philippines, raised in the US, and is now a UK citizen living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her film and photography work has been featured on the BBC and in Time, and at film festivals worldwide; her short documentary film Blood and Ink (Dugo at Tinta), about the Indigenous Filipino tattooist Apo Whang Od, was an official selection at the Academy Award–qualifying DOC NYC and won Best Documentary at Ireland's Kerry Film Festival. Jill holds an MSt in Creative Writing from the University of Cambridge and an MA in Documentary Film from the University of the Arts London. Her new book, Dirty Kitchen, is a food memoir of 22 years undocumented in the United States. In today's episode, we explore her memoir as a unique narrative that combines recipes, Filipino histories and mythologies, American immigration experiences, food writing, and personal narratives. Jill describes how she structured the book, how Filipino diasporic recipes relate to diasporic and migrant experiences, and the relationship between American foods and rebuilding a sense of self through Filipino foods after living undocumented for many years.

Building a design system is the easy part—getting your team to adopt it is the real challenge. We dive into the hidden elements that make design systems truly successful.What if the real blocker to your design system isn't tooling or design, but trust?This week, I talk with Justin Crews, a senior product designer with a background in film, systems thinking, and complex enterprise UX.

"The Good Listening To" Podcast with me Chris Grimes! (aka a "GLT with me CG!")
Send us a textMartin Parr opens a window into his extraordinary five-decade career documenting the eccentricities of British life and leisure, revealing the philosophy that has made him one of the world's most celebrated documentary photographers.Taking us behind his lens, Parr shares how finding himself "in the right place at the right time" led to his breakthrough project "The Last Resort" in New Brighton during the 1980s – a collection so enduring it's now in its seventh edition. With refreshing candor, he confesses that most of his photographs are "rubbish" and considers himself fortunate to capture ten good images annually, highlighting the relentless pursuit of quality that defines true mastery.Parr's unique ability to create photographs that provoke "ambiguous emotional reactions" – where viewers "are unsure whether to laugh or cry" – reveals the subtle power of his documentary approach. While acknowledging criticism of his work, his substantial following (700,000+ Instagram followers) and exhibitions in prestigious institutions worldwide, including the Tate, Pompidou Centre, and Museum of Modern Art, confirm his profound impact on contemporary photography.Beyond his personal achievements, Parr's commitment to preserving photographic heritage shines through his foundation, which houses not only his extensive archive but also collections from other British documentary photographers, alongside approximately 5,000 photography books. This cultural repository, combined with his mentorship of emerging talent, ensures his influence will extend far beyond his own remarkable body of work.What truly emerges from this conversation is Parr's infectious enthusiasm for finding magical moments in mundane settings. "I'm happiest in a cliché," he admits, revealing how church village fetes and seaside holidays become portals to understanding British identity through his discerning eye. His legacy? "The folio of photos I've built up – an archive of my time in Britain over the last 50 years."

A few months ago, I started a silly photo project where I started photographing abandoned shopping carts I'd find in parking lots. But then, I started wandering into the woods and stumbled upon an entirely new world of shopping carts as evidence of a growing homeless problem in my town. It's a complicated issue, but I'm interested to see where else this project takes me. In this episode, I also talk about the 2 different types of photographers, and a my new approach to exploration and travel.

In this episode of the Contractor Growth Network podcast, Logan Shinholser talks with Todd Dawalt, founder of Construction Leading Edge and host of The Construction Leading Edge Podcast. Together, they dive into the dangerous trap many contractors fall into, doing “just enough to start” (JETS)—and why that mentality holds businesses back from sustainable growth. Todd shares how building robust pre-construction systems, documenting processes, and creating real clarity in communication can make the difference between chaos and control on a jobsite. Drawing from his years of coaching and consulting with construction companies, Todd walks through tactical strategies for increasing profitability and how simple documentation can solve major business problems. Whether you're a one-man band or running a team of 100, this episode is packed with insights that will help you stop winging it and start winning. Key Takeaways The JETS Mentality is Holding You Back Doing “just enough to start” creates costly mistakes and jobsite chaos. Companies need to operate with a mindset of clarity, not improvisation. Documented Systems Drive Profitability Contractors often mistake “it's in my head” for a system. Writing things down can solve 80% of common construction business problems. Pre-Construction is Where the Money Is Made Profits are built (or lost) before the job even begins. Pre-construction systems reduce change orders, stress, and delays. Turn Chaos into Predictability Without structure, your team will make up their own rules. Checklists, job books, and templates create consistent results. Leadership Isn't About Hustle—It's About Systems Business owners need to graduate from “doer” to “leader.” Building systems empowers your team and removes dependency on you. Memorable Quotes “Chaos is expensive—clarity is profitable.” “You don't rise to the level of your goals; you fall to the level of your systems.” “Documenting your process is the cheapest, fastest way to fix most of your problems.” Actionable Advice Start with one system. Pick one process you repeat often and document it. Replace tribal knowledge. Get everything out of your head and onto paper. Build a job book. Give your team a standard package of information for every job. Focus on pre-construction. Nail the planning phase before picking up a hammer. Lead with clarity. Create systems that enable your team to win without you.

An essential document of a moment in time for a story very much still unfolding, The Encampments is a thorough, engrossing portrait of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment. Beginning in April 2024, the protest was formed by Columbia University students who called for their university to divest from U.S. and Israeli weapons companies that are aiding in the deaths of thousands upon thousands of Palestinian people. Following an opening weekend that resulted in the highest-grossing per-theater average for a documentary in history, Michael T. Workman and Kei Pritsker's film now playing in theaters nationwide. As The Film Stage's Editor-in-Chief Jordan Raup in his review, "With insights from those most directly involved in the protests––including many now fearing for their safety and future as America's newly instated fascist regime continues to strip rights––the documentary becomes a sobering, infuriating look at the dismantling of free speech and nefarious, calculated ways those in power will go to any lengths to silence those that are of opposing interests. Rather than employing a bleak view of persistent struggle, directors Michael T. Workman and Kei Pritsker find the unfolding story's hope and inspiration, crafting a powerful, clarifying portrait of collective action. As other universities and organizations drew inspiration, we witness how small acts of courage can cause ripple effects worldwide." Jordan had the opportunity to speak with Pritsker about being trusted to film from inside the encampment, why it was important to show a side that mainstream media wasn't portraying, inviting those with opposing views to watch the film and judge for themselves, the corporatization of universities, fast-tracking the theatrical release, and dedicating his life to the Palestinian struggle.
