Was bedeutet eigentlich „erleuchtet sein“?Dauerhaft glücklich? Keine Probleme mehr? Immer ruhig und weise?Oder ist das alles ein Missverständnis?In dieser Folge geht es nicht um fernöstliche Ideale oder spirituelle Superzustände — sondern um etwas viel Praktischeres: Das Gefühl, auf deinem eigenen Weg zu sein.Vielleicht ist Erleuchtung kein Endpunkt, sondern ein innerer Kompass.Und vielleicht passiert sie öfter, als du denkst.Wenn du lernen möchtest, diesen inneren Weg klarer zu spüren:

Jake didn't win 1st in the Region, 4th in State in the 1994 National Spanish Exam for nothing. He puts his Español to use with his own reggaeton song while Rivera breaks down the ridiculous lyrics. It goes to show how fun Spanish music can be despite awful writing. Also on the show: the Epstein Files for Dummies (or just kids), the FBI released the first images from Nancy Guthrie's RING doorbell camera showing the masked person of interest, IKEA is leaving Memphis after 10 years, and we play two rounds of Impossible Trivia.

The Dummies Podcast Ep. 348 “The Wiggle Wiggle”

A simple, practical introduction to self-inquiry. Learn how to explore ego, awareness, and the sense of self through direct experience and everyday life. Self-inquiry is the practice of turning attention inward and asking questions like: Who am I? or, WHAT am I? What is it that's aware of this moment? What is this “me” that feels like it's deciding, choosing, and controlling life? When you look for this “me,” something interesting happens. You'll find that the "me" you are looking for is the one doing the looking. And then, resting as the "one doing the looking" you realize that looking is just whats happening. No one is doing it. That feeling of “I'm doing this” is part of what people call the ego. It's an identification with the body/mind/and actions of whatever it is that is occurring. This is something you can practice while sitting, listening, breathing, working, or even feeling frustrated. If you're interested in meditation, non-duality, sobriety, or simply understanding your inner experience a little more clearly, feel free to like, subscribe, or leave a comment.

AI is everywhere, but most business owners are not sure how to actually use it without creating more chaos. In this episode, BOP Coaches Shawn "Dickie" Stinson and Brandon "Donny" Gray break down AI in plain language for business owners who want clarity, not complexity. They explain why AI does not fix broken systems and how it works best when your business has clear processes and direction. You will hear how owners are using AI today to save time on emails, schedules, estimates, and client communication, without overcomplicating their business. They also unpack the three stages of AI adoption and why most owners should start simple before chasing advanced tools. Key takeaways: ✅ AI amplifies what already exists in your business ✅ Start with productivity before automation ✅ Bring your own thinking and context ✅ Do not trust AI without verifying ✅ Use AI to support clear processes, not replace them If AI feels overwhelming or confusing, this episode will help you see how to use it as a practical tool instead of another distraction. Are you working IN your business or ON your business? Do you have all of the foundational elements that will liberate you from the business chaos?

Next week, I am in Paris. And I have the privledge to document the session on "Rethinking The WIne Business." Two of the prominent panel members are Paul Mabray and Priscilla Hennekam.  There is a movement in the trade to mix things up a bit; make some changes, move the needle a bit. Paul Mabray is considered the pre-eminent authority of all things digital wine. Platforms, logistics, user-experience and more, all play into the realm of Paul's knowledge base.  I have to tell you, having Paul Mabray on the show was a breath of fresh air—no other way to describe it. He's got this knack for slicing through the clutter and getting to the heart of what's happening in the wine world today. You know me, I love a good anecdote and an insightful thought, and he delivered plenty. Right out of the gate, Paul Mabray hit us with a beautiful metaphor: a glass of wine is a time capsule, a space-time machine connecting you to France ten years ago, or some other corner of the world and moment in history. I was hooked! That's what keeps me coming back to these conversations—a guest who sees past the label and into the soul of wine itself. We started the episode in my studio in Monroeville, California, broadcasting all the way to Napa. Paul Mabray—and, yes, for the record, both our names being Paul made the "Paul Squared" jokes inevitable—has worn many hats: club manager, consultant, software innovator, and digital pioneer. I reminisced about the early days of my own family's Wine of the Month Club: carbon paper, binders stuffed with customer cards, and handwritten manifests. He nodded knowingly, recalling his own journey at Niebaum Coppola, and the story about hiring Rob Crumb to write Access for Dummies so they could process wine club memberships in 72 hours instead of weeks! That story, I thought, is the kind of practical innovation the wine business desperately needed. As I listened to Paul Mabray, it occurred to me how much the industry has changed. The old guard—wholesalers, lobbyists—used to make it nearly impossible to ship direct to consumers. Back then, you practically had to sneak into the Wholesalers Association. He reminded me how those lobbying efforts were already fracturing in the mid-2000s, and with COVID, things are accelerating. Consumers are getting what they want, regulations be damned. That's insight you only get from someone who's lived both the analog and digital sides of the game. We also dove into software innovation—my old-school, "clunky but functional" database meets his experience launching e-commerce solutions like Wine Direct back in 2002. He had me laughing with stories of credit card gateways thinking a massive wine club was a puppy mill for stolen cards. The way he explained the evolution from manual systems to omnichannel cloud solutions made me realize: in the wine business, technology is about scaling human connection, not replacing it. A favorite moment in our conversation was when we discussed the fragility of relying on the tasting room model. Fires, earthquakes, and COVID have hammered the point home—it's time to reach consumers in Boston, Austin, Anchorage, wherever they are. It's about connection. That's tough for the "gentleman farmers" who often own wineries now, but it's necessary. Paul Mabray sees the golden age of wine online coming, and I'm inclined to agree. If you want a snapshot of the state and future of wine, these are the conversations to listen to. Technology, branding, regulation, and, of course, the existential experience of sharing a bottle—wine, Paul Mabray reminds us, is a social time capsule. He left me thinking that the business side, the digital side, and the soul of wine are all lining up for a renaissance. And that's a story worth sharing.  

Lionel dives deep into the baffling disappearance of Nancy, the elderly mother of NBC's Savannah Guthrie. Drawing on his background as a former prosecutor, Lionel dissects the logistics of "asportation" and why kidnapping an 84-year-old woman makes zero sense for a rational criminal. Listeners call in with wild theories ranging from botched robberies to inside jobs involving the maid, while Lionel explains why sending a ransom note to TMZ is the mark of an amateur. Between debates on DNA evidence and luminol, the show takes detours into old-school wrestling trivia and the hilarity of criminals who think they are invisible. Learn more about your ad choices.

This marked the lowest temperature recorded in February since 1923. - Iguanas dropping from tress all over the streets - Iguanas can survive temperatures down to the mid-40s Fahrenheit (around 7°C) by entering a "cold-stunned" state, where they appear dead but are just temporarily paralyzed and immobile; however, prolonged exposure to temperatures in the 30s and 40s, especially below freezing, can be lethal, particularly for smaller individuals, leading to tissue damage and organ failure. - They get sluggish below 50°F (10°C) and fall from trees as they lose grip. - The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) issued Executive Order 26-03 on Friday, allowing residents to collect and surrender cold-stunned green iguanas without a permit during an unprecedented cold weather event. Right on Schedule - Remember we talked about how the Nat Gas price was going to reverse, just as quickly as it spikeed? - Nat gas down 25% today - down about 28% from recent high - Still about 50% higher than it was before the spike.

Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said the company's proposed $100 billion investment in OpenAI  was “never a commitment” and that the company would consider any funding rounds “one at a time.” - “It was never a commitment,” Huang told reporters in Taipei on Sunday. “They invited us to invest up to $100 billion and of course, we were, we were very happy and honored that they invited us, but we will invest one step at a time.” Then Oracle announced that it will do a fundraiser in the form of equity and debt - needs to fund more datacenter build-out. - What happened to the OpenAI $300 Billion committment? - Or is the money that NVDA "committed to OpenAi, that they must have committed to Orcle, not a committment - GIGANTIC CIRCLE JERK Fungus - -Interesting - Did you know? Botrytis cinerea, a fungus causing grey mold, affects grapes by causing bunch rot, ruining fruit in high humidity. - While it often destroys crops, specific dry, warm conditions can transform it into "noble rot," concentrating sugars and creating high-value dessert wines (e.g., Sauternes, Tokaji) with honeyed, raisin-like, and apricot flavors. January Economic Review Employment — Job growth was nearly flat in December, with 50,000 new jobs added and earlier months revised lower. — Unemployment dipped slightly to 4.4%, but it's still higher than it was a year ago. — Long-term unemployment didn't change and remains high, and the labor force participation rate slipped to 62.4%. — Average hourly earnings rose 0.3% in December and are up 3.8% over the past year. — Weekly jobless claims stayed close to last year's levels, showing a labor market that is cooling but not weakening sharply. FOMC / Interest Rates — The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged at 3.50%–3.75%. — Most policymakers agreed the economy continues to grow at a solid pace, though job gains are slowing and inflation remains above target. — Two committee members supported a small rate cut, but the majority preferred to wait. - Fed Chair Powell: Clearly, a weakening labor market calls for cutting. A stronger labor market says that rates are in a good place. It isn't anyone's base case right now that the next move will be a rate hike. - The economy has once again surprised us with its strength. Consumer spending numbers overall are good, and it looks like growth overall is on a solid footing. - Upside risks to inflation and downside risks to employment have diminished, but hard to say they are fully in balance. We think our policy is in a good place. - Overall, it's a stronger forecast since the Fed's last meeting. Haven't made any decisions about future meetings, but the economy is growing at a solid pace, the unemployment rate is broadly stable and inflation remains somewhat elevated, so we will be looking to our goal variables and letting the data light the way for us. - Most of the overrun in goods prices is from tariffs. We think tariffs are likely to move through, and be a one-time price increase. - Dissent: Miran and Waller (Miran is a admin shill and Waller wanted job as Fed Chair) GDP & Federal Budget — Economic growth remained strong in Q3 2025, with GDP rising at an annualized 4.4% driven by strong spending, higher exports, and reduced imports due to tariffs. — Investment was mixed, with business spending increasing while housing activity declined. — The federal deficit for December rose to $145 billion, though the fiscal year-to-date deficit is slightly smaller than last year. Inflation & Consumer Spending — Personal income and consumer spending rose moderately in October and November. — Inflation, measured by the PCE index, increased 0.2% in both months and roughly 2.7% year-over-year. — The Consumer Price Index rose 0.3% in December, with shelter, food, and energy all contributing. — Producer prices also increased, though 2025 producer inflation slowed compared to 2024. Housing — Existing home sales rose in December, but the number of homes for sale is still low. — Prices dipped a bit from November but remain higher than they were a year ago. — New-home sales in October were steady compared with the prior month but much higher than last year. — New-home prices fell compared to 2024, though they are still high relative to long-term norms. Manufacturing — Industrial production rose 0.4% in December and was up 2.0% for the year. — Manufacturing output increased, while mining activity declined and utility output jumped. — Durable goods orders grew sharply in November, driven by a big increase in transportation equipment, pointing to strong demand in key industries. Imports & Exports — Import and export prices rose slightly through November 2025. — The goods trade deficit widened in November because exports fell while imports increased. — For the year so far, both exports and imports are running above 2024 levels, though the overall trade deficit remains larger. Consumer Confidence — Consumer confidence fell sharply in January after improving in December. — Both views of current conditions and expectations for the future weakened, with expectations dropping well below the level that often signals recession risk. Earnings — Roughly one-third of S&P 500 companies have reported Q4 earnings, and overall results are strong. — 75% of companies have beaten EPS estimates, though this is slightly below long-term averages. Revenue beats remain solid at 65%. — Companies are reporting earnings 9.1% above estimates, which is well above the 5-and 10-year surprise averages. — The S&P 500 is on track for 11.9% year-over-year earnings growth, marking the 5th straight quarter of double-digit earnings growth. — Eight of eleven sectors are showing positive year-over-year earnings growth, led by Information Technology, Industrials, and Communication Services. — The Health Care sector shows the largest earnings declines among lagging categories. — The forward 12-month P/E ratio sits at ~22.2, elevated relative to 5-and 10-year averages, signaling continued optimism despite tariff and cost concerns. — FactSet also notes the S&P 500 is reporting a record-high net profit margin of 13.2%, the highest since 2009.

Strap in, because Jackie joins Brad Barrett for a crossover episode on the ChooseFI podcast, home of the world's largest FI community! Together, they rewind all the way back to 2017, when Jackie first stumbled onto ChooseFI… and everything changed. She recounts her journey to reaching early retirement by December 2019, and using that freedom to go back to school, get her CFP, and write 'F.I.R.E. for Dummies'. Then the two of them dive deep into the fundamentals and break down what financial independence really means. They explain why even ten dollars a month can spark a lifelong investing habit, and how Jackie's first investment club taught her the power of community and compounding. They decode 401(k)s, demystify fund selection, and spotlight the quiet villain of investing: expense ratios.   The episode widens from there: debt payoff strategies, designing a modest but deeply rich life on $40–45K a year in Ohio, negotiating everything from internet bills to insurance premiums, and the emotional transformation from paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle to feeling 'directionally correct.' They conclude with the realization that FI isn't just about money, it's about options. Whether you're a late starter, brand new or ten years into the journey; returning to the basics is how you stay grounded, stay motivated, and stay on course.   ====================   DEALS & DISCOUNTS FROM OUR TRUSTED PARTNERS:   MONARCH MONEY The modern way to manage money! Monarch will change the way you organize your financial life.

Ladies and gentlemen and whoever else is listening. Welcome back to the program.  The opinions of the host and our guests have not been sanitized or scientifically tested, so please consume at your own risk. Davos has a reputation. A snowy playground for global elites, billionaires, and world leaders deciding the future behind closed doors. But is that actually the full picture? In this conversation, my guest and friend, Paul Burgon, returning from his second visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, offers a grounded, on-the-ground perspective that challenges the stereotype. He shares how surprisingly accessible the conference can be for people outside the halls of power, the contagious energy that spills far beyond the official sessions, and why Davos is filled with people who are genuinely passionate about making meaningful change in the world. This is a candid look at Davos—not as an idea, but as an experience.

With a little more than three months before the run for the roses, a mock draft for Kentucky Derby 2026 brings together seven handicapping minds for this week's Ron Flatter Racing Pod. Horse Racing Nation hard-core handicapper and fair-odds author Ed DeRosa will be joined by Chip Gehrke, the Doctor Derby curator of weekly division rankings who won last year's draft by picking Sovereignty in the second round. Five others take part, including Churchill Downs analyst and Turfway Park host Kaitlin Benson, 2012 National Horseplayers Championship winner Michael Beychok, Betting on Horse Racing for Dummies author Richard Eng from Las Vegas, sports-gambling host and former NFL quarterback Shaun King and Fox Sports and New York Racing Association TV analyst Maggie Wolfendale-Morley. The draft will last four rounds to determine who will be best positioned to have the winner among their four horses who could be in the May 3 running of the Derby. This episode was recorded Monday, before Ted Noffey came off the Triple Crown trail because of bone bruising. A video version of the draft is available on the Horse Racing Nation YouTube page. The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation posts every Friday and is available via free subscription from Apple, Firefox, iHeart and Spotify as well as HorseRacingNation.com.

Join Lionel for a four-hour masterclass in chaos, controversy, and high-octane opinion. In this marathon episode, Lionel dissects the legal absurdity of hate crimes, arguing that the justice system has turned prosecutors into mind readers. The conversation pivots to a "Round Two" of COVID nostalgia, where he roasts Dr. Fauci and dissects Ilhan Omar's "mysterious" encounter with apple cider vinegar. Battling a freezing studio, Lionel shifts gears to "Epistemology for Dummies," debating whether God picks political sides and explaining the difference between reality and how we perceive it. Finally, on The Other Side of Midnight, take a trip through the bizarre history of Atlantic City diving horses and 1905 doomsday prophecies as Lionel shadowboxes with the absurd.

Lionel battles a freezing New York studio and a radiator that defies the laws of physics to deliver a masterclass on media literacy, breaking down the difference between "Ontology" (what is real) and "Epistemology" (how we know it). The hour veers from high philosophy to heated debates as Lionel challenges a caller who believes God chooses political sides. The conversation takes wild turns into the nuances of "Black Privilege," the psychology of horse whispering, Santería rituals, and why modern TV lacks the moral fiber of Barney Miller and Different Strokes.

Philippe is the third generation of the legendary family of Jacques Cousteau and a founder of the youth group Earth Echo International. Ashlan is a former entertainment journalist who now reports on the doings of sea stars and influencers of climate. Together they've produced ocean documentaries for CNN, the Discovery Channel and others, written books including ‘Oceans for Dummies' and now are engaged in an effort to protect Antarctica's Southern Ocean. They are supporting the establishment of protected areas and opposing massive commercial krill fishing that threatens the sea life, including penguins and whales, that depend on these tiny crustaceans. They have also launched an Omega 3 algae-based supplement – SeaVoir - to provide a healthier alternative to krill (or fish) oil that they also discuss. So, a fascinating encounter with a dynamic ocean duo. Please do listen in.  ** Additional Resources **SeaVoir — Building on the spirit of the Cousteau legacy of ocean exploration and conservation.

What does modern witchcraft actually look like when you move past aesthetics, trends, and internet rules? In this episode, we sit down with Lorraine Monteagut, PhD, queer Latin witch, astrologer, and author of Modern Witchcraft for Dummies and Brujas: The Magic and Power of Witches of Color. We talk about finding your own entry point into magic with curiosity, context, and care. We explore beginner overwhelm, ethical practice, cultural roots, syncretism, and why learning the history behind modern magical practices matters more than “doing it right.”The conversation also moves into the real-life side of magic, from burnout, major transitions, and rebuilding community, to reconnecting with spiritual practice during seasons of change. If you've ever felt unsure where to start, worried about appropriation, or disconnected from your practice during a life shift, this episode offers grounding perspective and permission to meet yourself exactly where you are.Find out more about Lorraine over on:InstagramWebsite And Lorraine's books below:Brujas: The Magic and Power of Witches of Color Modern Witchcraft for DummiesJoin our Patreon for bonus episodes, magical downloads, and unhinged side quests: https://www.patreon.com/demystifymagicPre-order Molly's book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff DonePreorder Mundane Magic & Join the Virtual Book Tour⁠: Celebrate the release of Molly's new book with an exclusive online event on Feb 21, 12 PM EST.
