CrossPolitic — Show Notes: America's 250th Birthday Special On this Fourth of July special, Gabe, Pastor Toby, Knox, and Steve Deace gather to mark America's 250th birthday — not with blind celebration, but with honest reckoning and confident hope. Gabe walks through 15 ways America has been conquered not by guns but by cultural war, from forgetting its Christian founding to pastors who preached niceness over faithfulness. Steve calls for revival-or-bust thinking and eulogizes Charlie Kirk's missional courage. Knox opens Nehemiah and calls for four months of mourning, fasting, and repentance before the wall gets built. And Toby reminds us that the same God who marched slaves out of Egypt with Pharaoh's chariots sinking behind them is still Lord of armies — and he doesn't need our numbers.

MSD Early Bird Podcast: Changing Demographics and the Case for Renewed Investment in Health

Vital Health Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 2, 2026 25:08

Across Europe and around the world, demographic change is reshaping our societies. Longer life expectancy, aging populations, and evolving workforce dynamics are creating both new opportunities and growing pressure on healthcare systems, economies, and public policy. Against this backdrop, health and innovation play an increasingly important role in building resilient societies and supporting healthier, more productive lives. Investing in prevention, early intervention, innovative healthcare solutions, and forward-looking health policies is becoming essential to meeting these challenges. In this Early Bird edition of the Vital Health Podcast, Duane Schulthess sits with Mike Hodin (Global Coalition on Aging - GCOA; CEO) and Francesca Colombo (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development - OECD; Head, Health Division) to explore how strategic investment in health and innovation can help address demographic change and contribute to sustainable social and economic outcomes. They highlight the value of prevention, including adult vaccination, the importance of cardiovascular health, and the critical role of early detection, diagnosis, and timely treatment in cancer care. Opinions expressed are those of the speakers. Recorded on 6/17/26. This podcast was made with the support of Merck Sharp & Dohme.

91: Luis Mojica: Why Trauma Changes What You Want to Eat

The MindHealth360 Show

In this episode of the MindHealth360 Show, I speak with Luis Mojica, somatic therapist, trauma expert, nutritionist, founder of Holistic Life Navigation, and author of Food Therapy: Conscious Eating to Navigate Anxiety, Stress and Trauma. Luis brings together nutrition, somatic experiencing and trauma healing in a way that beautifully captures the MindHealth360 approach: that mental health cannot be separated from physical health, and that the biochemical, psychospiritual and lifestyle-behavioural roots of our symptoms are deeply interconnected. Together, we explore how food affects not only our metabolism and blood sugar, but also the nervous system, emotional regulation and trauma responses. Luis explains how many of us turn to food for regulation when connection, safety or co-regulation are unavailable elsewhere and how cravings, bingeing, restriction and even 'healthy eating' can often be understood as nervous system adaptations rather than matters of shame or willpower. Luis also shares his framework of stimulating, depressing and balancing foods, showing how different foods can push us into fight-or-flight, numb us out, or help us stabilise. We discuss why trauma can make the body more sensitive to caffeine, sugar, fasting and processed foods; why embodiment is essential for understanding how food affects us; and how learning to pause, listen to cravings and sense into the body can help us use food more consciously to support regulation, resilience and healing. In this episode, you'll learn: Why food is about far more than nutrition, influencing emotions, safety and nervous system regulation. How trauma can drive cravings, bingeing, restriction and other eating behaviours. How different foods, through their biochemical effects on the body and brain, can stimulate, numb or help regulate the nervous system. What cravings may reveal about unmet emotional, relational or nutritional needs. How conscious eating and embodiment practices can support healing and resilience. Why Luis sees food as both biochemical and relational – something that can affect our body, emotions and sense of safety. Join Luis Mojica at IMMH 2026 As understanding of the brain-body connection continues to evolve, practitioners are increasingly recognising the role that nutrition, trauma and nervous system regulation play in mental health. At the Integrative Medicine for Mental Health (IMMH) conference, October 8–11, 2026, Luis Mojica will join more than 50 world-renowned clinicians, researchers and thought leaders exploring the emerging science and clinical applications shaping the future of integrative mental health.. In his session, Food Therapy: The Missing Piece for Nervous System Regulation, Luis will share practical frameworks for understanding the relationship between food, trauma and nervous system function, helping practitioners recognise patterns of dysregulation, and integrate nutrition more effectively into mental health treatment and recovery. Luis will also join an expert panel on Eating Disorders alongside Dr. James Greenblatt, Dr. Jeanne Catanzaro, and Dr. Christina Bjorndal, examining integrative root-cause approaches to understanding and treating disordered eating. Early Bird tickets are now available.

Andrew breaks down Red Balloon's acquisition of MilitaryHire.com, their new contract as the official recruiting arm for Foreign Service Officers, and why getting 500 to 1,000 cleared patriots into the State Department could have a generational impact on America and the world.

More management and insurance knowledge in my newsletter: https://www.odysseymgmt.com/newsletter What if we could identify hidden tooth cracks and structural damage before patients experience pain? In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Cherilyn Sheets to discuss InnerView AI, a dental diagnostic technology that helps detect cracked teeth, failing restorations, implant issues, and other hidden dental problems that may not appear on traditional X rays. Dr. Sheets explains how measuring tooth movement under load provides a new way to evaluate oral health and improve early diagnosis. Dr. Sheets shares the research behind InnerView AI which was new to me. As the conversation continued I became more excited by how it could strengthen dental documentation and improve treatment acceptance. We talked at length about treatment presentation. You'll want to hear how we communicate more simply with visual diagnostic proof. Patients don't necessarily want to understand the science behind the diagnosis but they all want to know how to move forward. I hope this episode helps you with those conversations.

Most video business owners are stuck chasing reach when what actually grows a business is resonance. In this episode, storytelling and speaking strategist Jay Acunzo joins me to break down why mattering more to the right people beats marketing to everyone, and how to communicate with enough conviction that clients seek you out instead of the other way around. If you're tired of competing on price and ready to become your market's favorite, this conversation will shift how you show up. Key Takeaways Resonance beats reach. People don't take action because you reached them, they take action because they actually care. Jay's 6-part "dialogue outline" walks a client from "how does this help me?" all the way to "I'm in, how do I start?" Don't try to be different from your competitors. Aim to be refreshing to your specific market instead. Get into your client's journey early as their "running buddy" rather than waiting at the finish line to capture demand. About Jay Acunzo Jay Acunzo is a public speaking and storytelling advisor trusted by bestselling authors, TED speakers, seven-figure coaches, and brands like Mailchimp, Wistia, and Salesforce. Before starting his advisory firm, Jay was a digital media strategist at Google and head of content for 3 organizations, including HubSpot. He's directed documentaries, hosted podcasts, and created award-winning content for innovative startups and Fortune 500 brands.

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Tenth House. She explores the Tenth House as a place where self-abandonment can happen when we become entangled with caregiver strivings, overculture's templates for success, or the pressure to be known, recognized, and received in a certain way. Topics She Covers: The Emergence Astrology Pathway as a long container, a hermitage, and a structure for surrendering to time, personal gnosis, and what emerges through commitment. The Moon as the place that holds our stories of safety, belonging, emotional security, and the need to be held. The Tenth House as public reputation, public role, what we are known for, and what we bring out into the world. Self-abandonment in the Tenth House as getting hooked into caregiver strivings, overculture's ideas of success, achievement, performance, and who we think we have to be. The paradox of clearing old templates around success while still honoring an authentic public call, offering, or life force that wants to move through us. Through the lens of the Tenth House, this episode explores how we begin to separate from inherited strivings, return to our own agency, and tend to the roots that make authentic public contribution possible. Learn More About The Emergence Astrology Pathway: The Emergence Astrology Pathway is not a traditional astrology course. It's an experience you give yourself if you long to repair, recover, renew, and remember your power. Held inside the gentle embrace of this magical language. Here Britten teaches what she's found and developed as an astrologer who helps people tune into the most authentic call within. Most of what she offers are techniques and insights that no human teacher taught her. Doors only once a year! Early Bird tuition is now open through June 23.

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Ninth House. She explores the Ninth House as a place where self-abandonment can happen when we cede our authority to dogmas, teachers, books, spiritual leaders, or inherited beliefs that keep us from trusting our direct relationship with the divine. Topics She Covers: Self-abandonment as something we often cannot see clearly until we are taught to notice the signals and call it what it is. Britten's early relationship with self-sabotage, the saboteur archetype, and the realization that we may sabotage ourselves because we are terrified of our own empowerment. The Emergent No as the beginning of her mystical, healing, entrepreneurial, and erotic path. The Chariot, congruence, and the way unconscious parts of us can pull against what we consciously want. The Ninth House as personal cosmology, belief, worldview, imagination, divinity, teachers, spiritual authority, and the way we project what is possible onto the universe. Self-abandonment in the Ninth House as over-trusting external authorities instead of cultivating sovereignty, personal gnosis, and a direct collaboration with the cosmos. Through the lens of the Ninth House, this episode explores sovereignty, imagination, and the possibility of being held by the universe in a way that helps us move through the world without abandoning ourselves to stay safe with others.

E363. Necessary Endings — What Are You Still Feeding That Needs to Be Cut?

April Garcia's PivotMe

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 18, 2026 18:05

You don't grow by adding more. You grow by cutting what no longer belongs. Most people think growth comes from adding another strategy, another hire, another opportunity, another commitment. But nature doesn't grow that way. A rose bush grows because someone is willing to cut it back. Even the healthy parts. Especially the healthy parts. In this episode, we're talking about one of the hardest leadership skills you'll ever develop: knowing when something needs to end. Most entrepreneurs don't have a growth problem. They have a pruning problem. They're carrying outdated commitments, underperforming team members, draining clients, unhealthy patterns, and old identities that no longer fit where they're trying to go. Inspired by the concepts from Necessary Endings, April explores why growth often requires subtraction before multiplication and why your next level may be waiting on a difficult decision you've been avoiding. Because sometimes the thing holding you back isn't what you're missing. It's what you're refusing to release. In This Episode You Will Learn: Why growth requires pruning, not just addition. The Rose Bush Principle and how it applies to leadership and business. The three types of things that require necessary endings. Why high performers often struggle most with letting go. The hidden cost of over-responsibility. The difference between hard decisions and harmful situations. How vision creates clarity around what belongs and what doesn't. Why awareness must come before action. The Three Types of Necessary Endings 1. Dead Things The obvious ones. The systems, relationships, projects, and people that are clearly no longer working. Yet somehow we keep feeding them. 2. Sick Things Not fully broken. Not fully healthy. They consume more energy than they create. They survive through constant management and emotional labor. 3. Good But No Longer Great The hardest category. Because they're still working. Still profitable. Still comfortable. But they no longer align with your next level. Key Takeaways ✅ Every level of growth requires letting go of something. ✅ Hard decisions are not necessarily harmful decisions. ✅ Leaders often stay stuck because they confuse loyalty with self-sacrifice. ✅ Vision creates filters. ✅ What you tolerate today becomes tomorrow's limitation. ✅ Awareness is the first step toward necessary endings. Quotes "You don't grow by adding more. You grow by cutting what no longer belongs." "A rose bush doesn't become stronger by keeping every branch. It grows because someone is willing to prune it." "Hard does not mean harmful." "Most leaders don't have a strategy problem. They have an ending problem." "What you're unwilling to release may be the very thing preventing your growth." Discussion Questions Business What needs a necessary ending in your business? What employee, client, process, or project is costing more than it's creating? What are you currently tolerating? Personal What relationship dynamic needs to end? What belief no longer serves you? What identity have you outgrown? The Four Power Questions What do I need to kill off in myself? What do I need to stop doing, thinking, or feeling? What do I need to say no to? Why does this matter for the life and business I say I want? Challenge This week, don't take action yet. Don't fire anyone. Don't quit anything. Don't make any dramatic moves. Just tell yourself the truth. Because once you see clearly what needs to end, you can no longer pretend it belongs. And that's where real change begins. ---------------- Want more tools to help you create momentum, clarity, and growth in your business and life? Ready to take this work beyond the podcast?

She explores the Eighth House as a place where self-abandonment can become especially nuanced, because this house asks us to give ourselves into contact with another without losing our own attunement, discernment, or trust in what we know. Topics She Covers: Podcasting as a kind of Eighth House reach into the unknown, where Britten extends her voice into the dark and trusts that someone is there to receive it. Emergence Astrology as a relationship with both "this side" astrology and "that side" astrology: technique, lineage, and the mysteries that come through personal and collective gnosis. Year One of The Emergence Astrology Pathway as an exploration with the Moon, self-attunement, personal gnosis, energy training, intuition, and learning to trust your own voice. The Eighth House as other people's resources, debt, inheritance, therapy, caretaking, surgery, intimacy, and the vulnerability of being supported where we most need help. The question of how to become approachable to what is hidden: in ourselves, in reality, in the universe, and among the gods. Britten's relationship with Matt as an example of surrendering into trust, creating repair over time, and building a new body of evidence that intimacy could hold. Through the lens of the Eighth House, this episode explores surrendering into trust, staying in touch with resonance in the body, and noticing where refusing the high sensation of intimacy may be another way we leave ourselves behind.

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Seventh House. She explores the Seventh House as a place where self-abandonment can happen so easily because our desire for connection, safety, and intimacy can become tangled with fear, projection, old agreements, and the need to be loved or validated. Topics She Covers: The Emergence Astrology Pathway Year One as a slow, deep curriculum for identifying when you are not in yourself and learning to anchor back into your own knowing. Gnosis as your own knowing: the thing no one can take away from you. The Seventh House as one-on-one relationships, including romantic relationships, friendships, partnerships, and the ways we find out who we are through others. Projection, intimacy, trust, boundaries, and the difference between intuition and projection in relationship. Energetic contracts and agreements, including the old relational patterns we may have agreed to when we were younger and the fear that arises when we want to update them. The deep vulnerability of intimacy and the ways we can protect ourselves from being hurt by closing our hearts, projecting fear, or refusing to listen in conflict How difficult it can be to stop self-abandoning in relationship because we cannot control how another person will respond when we grow, change, or update the terms of connection. Through the lens of the Seventh House, she invites listeners to consider the relational agreements they may still be living inside, the fear that keeps those agreements in place, and the possibility of repair through real-time relationship, deeper self-responsibility, and learning to hold our own emergence without abandoning ourselves.

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Sixth House. She explores the Sixth House as a place where shame often gathers around capacity, productivity, health, organization, and what it means to tend to devotion without policing. Topics She Covers: The momentum of moving through the houses as a framework for attention, immersion, and revelation. Gnosis as the wisdom, truth, insight, and knowing that no one can take away from you. The Emergence Astrology Pathway as a space for cultivating personal and collective gnosis. Self-abandonment as something we have to learn to identify, name, and refuse so we can come back into innocence and bring ourselves home. The Sixth House as a realm of bodies, care, energetic health, daily systems, administrative life, and the commitment to living in a body on planet Earth. How shame can distort our relationship to health, capacity, productivity, care, systems, and the way we tend to what needs our attention. Britten reflects on how difficult it can be to know how to care for ourselves inside systems and cultures that do not prioritize care. She names the shame many of us carry around our bodies, our capacity, our administrative lives, and the day-to-day systems that support our health and ability to function. Through the lens of the Sixth House, she invites listeners to imagine tending to these parts of life without shame as the authority: not from punishment, anti-aging, productivity, or inherited conditioning, but because we are people who turn toward life. This episode is an invitation to decondition the shame of the Sixth House and return to a more loving, clear, and present-time commitment to being here with ourselves, in this body, every day.

493. How AI Saved a Project the Budget Almost Killed with Jason Moore

AI filmmaker and 14-time author Jason Moore joins me to unpack how artificial intelligence has reshaped the way he tells stories — without stripping out the creativity behind them. We get into a real client project that only became possible because of AI, his three guiding principles for using it well, and how he handles the inevitable wave of online critics. If you're curious (or a little nervous) about where AI fits into your video business, this conversation's for you. Key Takeaways AI works best as a collaborator, not a vending machine — the more of yourself you bring to it, the better the output. Some projects only exist because AI makes them affordable. In those cases, nobody actually loses a job that was never in the budget to begin with. Every big tech shift — Photoshop, CGI in Jurassic Park, even self-checkout — displaced some work while creating new opportunities for the people who adapted. Jason's "soul test": if you don't bring your own creativity and judgment, you get soulless results. The human stays in the driver's seat. About Jason Moore Jason is the author of 14 books on topics ranging from creativity and design to artificial intelligence. His most recent release, AI and the Church: A Clear Guide for the Curious and Courageous, is an Amazon bestseller that has sparked more than 150 national training engagements. In film and television, Jason has collaborated with Hollywood producers and created book trailers for New York Times bestselling authors including Arianna Huffington, Seth Godin, Robert Greene, Ryan Holiday, and Marc Ecko. A graduate of The Modern College of Design, Jason now returns to his alma mater as an adjunct instructor, alongside his work as a sought-after keynote speaker and trainer whose career bridges the worlds of creative production, ministry, and emerging technology.

If you don't bring enough of your soul to your interaction with AI, you get really soulless outputs." — Jason Moore "I'm a human first, business owner second." — Ryan Koral "When the option exists, we're going to help more people tell stories in more compelling ways than we could in the past." — Jason Moore Guest Links Follow Jason Moore on Instagram | Facebook | X Links Find out more about the Studio Sherpas Mastermind Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Get your Early Bird tickets for the Onward Summit Join the Studio Sherpas newsletter

Living a Life Well Worth It (+ Justin's New Business)

Today’s episode is a little different as Justin pulls back the curtain on his and Leslie’s new venture, Life Well Worth It. This passion project is a fitness and wellness retreat business that started with one big idea: what if they could take the unique lifestyle they created and the passions they’ve picked up along the way, and bring others along for the ride? You can actually join them on their next retreat in Nice, France, October 28 – November 3 (Early Bird pricing until June 9) The name Life Well Worth It comes from the concept of designing the life that’s best for you instead of simply falling in line with what society tells you to do. It also tries to highlight the mindset that Justin always used with his finances, where he never skimped on the experiences and expenses that were truly worth it and stripped away the rest. The idea all started with a realization after their six-month international trip. They loved the way they traveled, but they still found themselves missing community. So they combined their love of adventure, fitness, and community and booked a villa in Malaga, Spain, with 11 people. No prior retreat experience. Just a non-refundable Airbnb and a group chat. They cover the full breakdown of how the first retreat came together, from the near-cancellation moment, the structure of the Spain retreat (6 days, 5 nights, catamaran cruise, a gorge hike, race day, and a lot of home-cooked meals), and how the rave reviews left them with the desire for their next trip in Nice, France. You’ll also get a full explainer on what Hyrox actually is and why it’s more accessible than it sounds. They’ll also help you recognize how the skills you’ve built without even realizing it might be worth more than you think. If you’ve ever wondered what FI actually unlocks in everyday life, this episode is a pretty good answer.

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Fifth House. She explores the Fifth House as a place where energy flows into what we love, what we create, what we pour ourselves into, and what carries something of us out into the world. Topics She Covers: The Moon as the beginning of Britten's relationship with mystery, intuition, energy, and lunar cycles. The new Emergence Astrology Pathway Year One curriculum as a return to her lunar teachings, with three strands: lunar transmissions, intuition skills building, and ritual wisdom. The Fifth House as children, hobbies, romance, students, creativity, pleasure, and the generous movement of energy through and beyond us. How self-abandonment shows up when we believe our generative capacity is worthless, unproductive, selfish, or not valuable to ourselves or others. The spiritual consequences of shutting down our creative channel, denying ourselves play, or pouring all of our energy into a job, partner, friend, or relationship that demands everything from us. Britten reflects on the way the Moon first claimed her in 2017 and led her into a life organized around listening, mystery, and creative devotion. From there, she traces how her lunar teachings have evolved over time and why the reimagined Emergence Astrology Pathway is built to move slowly, gently, and deeply. Through the lens of the Fifth House, she invites listeners to notice where they may be withholding their energy, denying their right to pleasure, or believing they have nothing to give. This episode is a call to repair the shame around creativity and to remember that our energy is meant to run, move, pour into something, and be shared. Learn More About The Emergence Astrology Pathway: The Emergence Astrology Pathway is a path through Britten's most refined, mature, and powerful curriculum. This experience is designed for those who ever find themselves in a position to support another. Whether you're an established therapeutic practitioner, a leader, a parent, or simply a human being with the sincere desire to show up in your fullest integrity, the Emergence Astrology Pathway will be the remembering and the revelation that you most yearn for.

E362. Stop Fixing Your Weaknesses: What Strengths Psychology Says About How High Performers Scale

April Garcia's PivotMe

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 4, 2026 20:17

What if the reason you're exhausted isn't because you're not doing enough... but because you're spending all your energy trying to become mediocre at things you were never meant to do? Welcome Pivoter! Most high performers spend years trying to fix weaknesses that were never meant to be strengths. We call it growth. We call it discipline. We call it "working on ourselves." But what if that's the wrong game entirely? In this episode, April challenges one of the most common myths in personal development: the idea that successful people are well-rounded. Drawing from strengths psychology, Gallup research, and real-world examples of elite performers, she explores why the path to success isn't becoming better at everything. It's becoming exceptional at the things you're naturally wired to do well. If you've been stuck trying to improve areas that drain you, this episode will help you shift from fixing to leveraging. In This Episode You Will Learn: Why the idea of being "well-rounded" may be sabotaging your success. What Strengths Psychology teaches about performance and fulfillment. Why weaknesses rarely become strengths. The hidden reason fixing weaknesses feels productive. How elite performers create leverage instead of balance. The difference between limitations and liabilities. How to design your business and life around your strengths. Why awareness is more powerful than willpower. Key Takeaways: ✅ High performers are intentionally uneven. ✅ Strengths create leverage. Weaknesses require management. ✅ Your goal isn't to become good at everything. ✅ Design beats discipline. ✅ Weaknesses become dangerous only when ignored. ✅ The fastest path to growth is amplifying what already works. Quotes: "High performers are not well-rounded. They are intentionally uneven." "Weaknesses rarely become strengths. They usually just become slightly less annoying weaknesses." "High performers don't fix themselves into success. They leverage themselves into it." "A limitation is something you're not great at. A liability is something you refuse to acknowledge." Challenge: Ask yourself: What am I trying to fix that I should be designing around? Which strength have I underused because it makes me visible? What would change if I trusted my strengths enough to build around them? Stop fixing. Start leveraging. ---------------- Want more tools to help you create momentum, clarity, and growth in your business and life? Ready to take this work beyond the podcast? Join us at Collaborate 2026, our once-a-year, in-person transformational experience in Grass Valley, California.
