Welcome, friends. Today, I want to share a piece that I will be posting on my Makes Sense Substack, called the Alchemy of Forgiveness. This time, it's all about you. It originated from a mastermind topic I did for a plant medicine integration group I host monthly with the friends of Arkana. Feel free to reach out for more information on that. But I thought it would make for a great short form Podcast Episode to accompany it. As we approach this sensitive subject, please be aware of the following. I do not know what it is like to walk in your shoes, nor do I know your pain and circumstances. This process of forgiveness is a unique and individualized situation that will carry an acquired taste for some. What i do know is that your life experience can become extraordinary the moment you decide to stop carrying its weight on your shoulders and it will happen the moment you change the way you look at forgiveness, and this is the intention of this episode. In full transparency, I have come to termswith the fact that I will be working to release myself from its burden for the rest of my life. However, it is in my decision and intention to release it, that I have found my Freedom.   ►Follow Dr. JC Doornick and the Makes Sense Academy: Instagram: / drjcdoornick   Facebook:  / makessensepodcast   YouTube:  / drjcdoornick     MAKES SENSE PODCAST Welcome to the Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick Podcast: This podcast covers topics that expand human consciousness and performance.

The Evolution of the Dragon by G. Elliot Smith is a groundbreaking exploration of the origins, symbolism, and diffusion of dragon myths across cultures. Blending anthropology, mythology, and comparative religion, Smith investigates how the archetype of the dragon emerged from ancient serpent-worship traditions and spread globally through cultural contact and migration. With meticulous research and...

This week, we roundhouse-kick our way into one of the most legendary martial arts films of all time, Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon. It's fists, philosophy, and flaming hot takes as we chop through this cinematic classic with the precision of a one-inch punch. Whether you're a lifelong disciple of the Dragon or just entering the dojo, this episode packs more punch than Bolo disciplining guards. Tune in... or risk dishonor.  “Don't think. FEEL.” And press play.

L'hydre de Lerne dans la mythologie grecque, le Léviathan dans les religions monothéistes, Quetzalcoatl dans la culture Aztèque ou encore Ryujin dans la mythologie japonaise, quasiment toutes les cultures possèdent des mythes de dragons.  D'immenses créatures à l'allure serpentines, certaines crachent du feu ou volent et pourtant jusqu'à preuve du contraire, elles n'ont jamais existé… Mais alors pourquoi tant de cultures possèdent des mythes semblables ? Et bien pour le savoir il faudrait faire un petit tour du côté de la géomythologie !  Qu'est-ce que la géomythologie ? Comment peut-elle nous aider à retrouver la trace des dragons ? D'où viennent vraiment les dragons ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de Maintenant vous savez ! Un podcast Bababam Originals écrit et réalisé par Hugo de l'Estrac.

In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, I'm joined by Beth, a 22-year-old veterinary student and elite dragon boat paddler based in Nottingham. Beth shares how a simple home workout routine during the COVID lockdown sparked a journey into endurance sport—from running the Robin Hood Half Marathon to discovering dragon boating at university. Since then, Beth has gone from novice paddler to competing on the world stage, representing Great Britain at the 2023 Dragon Boat World Championships in Thailand.  Now a coach, helm, and passionate advocate for women in sport, she talks about training, teamwork, and the power of inclusive communities.  Beth's story is one of grit, growth, and finding joy in pushing physical and mental limits.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

AI isn't a buzzword anymore. It's an operating system shift that's already reshaping how we work, sell, and compete. I spoke with Piers Linney, entrepreneur, ex-Dragon, and co-founder of Implement AI, about what business leaders need to know right now to stay relevant.Piers has sat on boards, built companies from scratch, and now helps SMEs navigate the complex and fast-changing AI landscape. He pulls no punches. If you're still dragging your feet on AI, this episode is a wake-up call.We spoke about where AI is really headed, how SMEs can integrate it practically, and why business owners need to focus on the augmented human, not just automation. He also gets candid about how he's advising his daughters on careers in a world where cognitive labour is under threat.This episode will leave you thinking harder and moving faster about how you adapt. Because if you don't, your competitors will.Key TakeawaysAI is still in dial-up phase. Most SMEs aren't ready for what's coming in the next five years.The real advantage is human + machine. Businesses that augment human capabilities with AI will win.Jobs are shifting. Knowledge work isn't safe. Creativity, adaptability, and experience are what matter now.There's no playbook. You need to experiment, test and build your AI roadmap before your competitors do.Advising the next generation. The education system isn't ready. Parents and leaders need to step in.

The Social Studies Show: Breaking Into Entertainment Photography In this episode, we're diving deep into the world of entertainment photography — not just the hype, but the how. I've been to the panels, scrolled through the think pieces, and watched the rise of online photo coaches. But what's often missing is a real-world breakdown of what entertainment photography actually takes — the different lanes (gallery, key art, press, behind-the-scenes), how to break in, how to stay in, and how to shoot work that ends up on billboards, posters, and national campaigns. To help us unpack it all, I've brought in three heavy-hitting guests who operate at the top of their game — and they're not speaking in theory. They've lived it.

The dragon is fighting against the Church-working to wear out the saints of the Most High. But we are positioned in Christ, battling from the victory! We are called to be Dragon Fighters! In this message, Pastor Scott Johnson reminds us that the Church is spiritually joined to the Lamb and to Israel. He gives us the biblical tools and weapons we need to overcome the great red dragon! Are you ready for battle?

Former Dragons' Den investor and vitamins business owner Tej Lalvani discusses building a business worth hundreds of millions. Lalvani talks with Rob about entrepreneurship, investment and why the UK is losing ground. He explains the pharmaceutical industry's tactics, discusses his Dragons' Den wins and losses and warns about Britain's wealth exodus. Tej Lalvani REVEALS: • Why in business, constant crisis management separates entrepreneurs from those who give up. • How he negotiated an exclusive deal with Boots that saved millions and became industry recognised. • Why only 35-50% of dragons den deals agreed on TV actually complete • Why the UK is losing 11,000+ millionaires annually to places like Dubai • The current US Market Challenges for British companies • What he thinks will be the next development in vitamins and medicine BEST MOMENTS "Running a business is like putting out fires every single day. And as a former dragon, what are the glaring mistakes all startup businesses make? Fear of failure is what keeps you away from success." "We can read people a lot of the times if you're trying to fake it, it'll usually come through." "The UK has lost its chop. It's losing its competitive advantage." "You have to look at the bigger picture because it is the journey that's important, right?" "I think even if you look at platforms like social media, they've evolved so quickly."

From ancient dynasties to bustling megacities, China is a land steeped in history, legend, and superstition. Behind the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and neon-lit skylines lies a shadowy world of ghost stories and haunted places that have terrified generations. In this episode, we'll uncover eerie tales of restless spirits, cursed buildings, and paranormal hotspots that make China one of the most fascinating—and haunted—countries on Earth. We begin with the Forbidden City in Beijing, perhaps the most famous haunted location in China. Built in the 1400s, it was the seat of emperors for nearly 500 years. Countless executions, murders, and palace intrigues have left behind a legacy of hauntings. Guards and visitors report seeing ghostly women in white, strange apparitions at night, and hearing unexplained screams echoing through the massive courtyards and darkened halls. Next, we travel to Chaonei No. 81, known as “Beijing's Most Haunted House.” This crumbling French Baroque-style mansion dates back to the early 20th century and is the stuff of urban legend. Rumors swirl about a woman who hanged herself after being abandoned by her lover. Locals claim to hear weeping inside, see her shadow moving behind boarded windows, and even feel violently ill when approaching the building at night. We'll also discuss the Yuyuan Garden in Shanghai. Though famous for its beautiful classical design, it's also home to centuries of bloodshed from rebellions and wars. Locals speak of encountering spirits in traditional garb, shadowy figures slipping between rockeries and bridges, and disembodied whispers after dark. Our episode wouldn't be complete without exploring China's rich ghost lore. We'll talk about the Hungry Ghost Festival—a time when spirits are believed to roam the Earth seeking offerings and revenge. Families burn paper money and leave food for the dead, hoping to appease them and prevent misfortune. We'll also examine some chilling modern hauntings, including ghostly subway stations in Beijing where passengers report spectral encounters, phantom trains, and even deadly urban legends about portals to the afterlife hidden in plain sight. Throughout this episode, we'll discuss why China's deep respect for ancestors, Buddhist and Taoist beliefs, and folklore about vengeful spirits shape the way these hauntings are understood. You'll learn how Chinese ghost stories differ from Western ones, yet tap into the same primal fears about betrayal, loss, and the unknown. So turn down the lights, grab your tea (or your favorite ghost-hunting gear), and join us as we explore the darker side of China—a land where history and the paranormal go hand in hand. Whether you're fascinated by ancient curses, tragic love stories, or modern urban legends, this episode is sure to haunt your imagination.

Episode 89 - This week we put a bow on our month in Korea exploring various genres. Our final film is The Good, The Bad and the Weird (2008) which is a western set in Manchuria in the 1940's. It is an interesting film which is a parody/riff on The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, where a mix of Korean, Chinese and Japanese characters are all going after a map that allegedly leads to buried treasure. There are lots of colorful characters and stars an MRAC favorite Song Kang-Ho. We had a lot of fun with this one so sit back and enjoy. Brian also reveals our next month: Kung Fu Legnds.

Star Trek: Voyager, Series 6, Episode 7. First broadcast on Wednesday 10 November 1999. Stardate: 53167.9. This week, the crew of the USS Voyager awaken an ancient evil and unleash it upon the Delta Quadrant: the Vaadwaur, a phantom army that appears out of thin air, destroys entire colonies, and vanishes in the blink of an eye — but whose soldiers' physiognomy is such that few men can find them afterwards.

What does it take to reinvent yourself—again and again—while remaining grounded in gratitude and generosity? In this inspiring episode recorded in front of a live audience, I sit down with the one and only Canadian icon and my dear friend, Arlene Dickinson, the beloved “matriarch of Dragon's Den." We explore the extraordinary journey that shaped her into one of the country's most respected business leaders and advocates. From overcoming tough odds—being a single mother of four with no post-secondary education—to earning her place in a male-dominated industry, Arlene's honest reflections on imposter syndrome, self-reliance, and reinvention are both practical and moving. But this conversation isn't just about business. We discuss life, media, and breaking stereotypes surrounding age, relationships, and relevance, reminding us all of the power of authenticity, generosity, and not being afraid to stand alone. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a leader, or just someone looking for support (not a handout), Arlene's lessons on curiosity, empathy, and nation-building will stay with you long after the episode ends.   A big thank you to RBC and RBC Wealth for supporting and sharing these stories of positivity and possibility.

Myth and Identity in the Martial Arts: Creating the Dragon (Lexington Books, 2025) is a study of the role of myth and ideology in the formation of social identity, focusing on a variety of communities of practice involving the martial arts in East Asian and Western history. Alexus McLeod argues that myths of the martial arts should not be understood as “falsehoods” created as means of legitimizing modern practices, but should instead be understood as narratives that enable individuals and communities to formulate social identities and to accord meaning to their practices. This book covers six influential sources of myth and identity formation in the history of martial arts: early Chinese and Indian philosophy, the formation bushido thought in the Edo period of Japan, Republican-era Chinese conceptions of nationhood and physical culture, Western contributions and the innovations of Bruce Lee, African American conceptions of martial arts as a response to oppression in the twentieth century, and the contemporary ideologies of mixed martial arts. On doing philosophy with non-textual sources, see Alexus McLeod, An Introduction to Mesoamerican Philosophy.  On violence as the preferred weapon of the stupid (so they can avoid doing any interpretative labour), see David Graeber, The Utopia of Rules: On Technology, Stupidity, and the Secret Joys of Bureaucracy.
