Jean Harlow (1911-1937) was an American actress known as the original “Blonde Bombshell.” She grew to stardom as an extra in silent films and early talkies, captivating audiences with her appearance. Her role as Lola in the 1933 film “Bombshell” popularized the term in Hollywood and the use of it to refer to a striking woman. This was a forerunner to the term "sex symbol,” specifically in Hollywood.

In this extended extract from their series 'Conversations in Philosophy', part of the LRB's Close Readings podcast, Jonathan Rée and James Wood look at one of Friedrich Nietzsche's early essays, 'Schopenhauer as Educator'. For Nietzsche, Schopenhauer's genius lay not in his ideas but in his heroic indifference, a thinker whose value to the world is as a liberator rather than a teacher, who shows us what philosophy is really for: to forget what we already know. ‘Schopenhauer as Educator' was written in 1874, when Nietzsche was 30, and was published in a collection with three other essays – on Wagner, David Strauss and the use of history – that has come to be titled Untimely Meditations. Jonathan and James consider the essays together and their powerful attack on the ethos of the age, railing against the greed and power of the state, fake art, overweening science, the triviality of universities and the deification of success.James Wood is a contributor to the LRB and staff writer at The New Yorker, whose books include The Broken Estate, How Fiction Works and a novel, Upstate.Jonathan Rée is a writer, philosopher and regular contributor to the LRB whose books include Witcraft and A Schoolmaster's War.To listen to the rest of this episode and all our other Close Readings series, sign up;In Apple Podcasts: https://lrb.me/nietzscheapplecrIn other podcast apps: https://lrb.me/nietzschesccr Hosted on Acast.

So... a couple of weeks ago, I was headed to a brand event with fellow makeup artist Eva Perry.

I noticed Erica and I squinting at each other that way you do when you recognize each other... finally we realized we worked together waaaaaay back when at Bloomingdale's of all places (children, there was a career path known as the "Counter Girl"... back then). Yes- Erica, though younger than I, was my trainer at the MAC Counter when we were just kids. I immediately invited her onto the podcast to fill me in on her AMAZING career and all that has happened since then, including gaining over 1 million followers on IG and more on TikTok. She also shares with me her IT Cosmetics faves and plently of those amazing tips that she is famous for. This is a really fun one, you guys. Enjoy!

One of the most persistent myths promoted by LGBT advocates is that sexual orientation is fixed and cannot change. Research and clinical experience suggest otherwise. In this episode of The Dr. J Show, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse interviews Dr. Floyd Godfrey, a clinical sexologist and Christian counselor with decades of experience helping individuals overcome pornography addiction, unwanted same-sex attraction, and sexualized attachments. Dr. Godfrey explains how many of these issues stem from emotional wounds and disrupted attachment patterns—conditions that are treatable through compassionate, evidence-based therapy. The discussion explores the concept of sex addiction as an intimacy attachment disorder, the development of the arousal template, and the role that trauma and early relational dynamics play in shaping sexual behaviors. It also contrasts mainstream therapeutic approaches with those rooted in a biblical worldview, showing that faith and science are not at odds when it comes to human sexuality. Dr. Floyd Godfrey is a seasoned Mental Health Consultant, Speaker, and Educator with over two decades of clinical experience. He offers consulting services to individuals, families, and professionals, addressing complex issues related to mental health and human sexuality. Dr. Godfrey holds credentials as a Clinical Sexologist, Certified Sex Addiction Specialist Supervisor, Certified Christian Counselor, and Certified Mental Health Coach. His educational background includes degrees from Arizona State University, Ottawa University, and the International Institute for Clinical Sexology. Early in his career, he worked at Tempe Social Services with children and facilitated after-school programming, which deepened his understanding of family dynamics and child development. Building on this experience, Dr. Godfrey dedicated over 20 years to developing comprehensive sexual addiction programming for various populations, including adults, couples, young adults, and adolescents. His approach integrates a biblical worldview, blending academic rigor with practical expertise to create impactful interventions for mental health and human sexuality concerns.

After 20 years in automation and controls engineering, Danny Murphy received a call from a local community college that would bring his journey full circle—back to the kind of impact his own high school electronics teacher once had on him. Today, he's a nationally recognized educator, named A3's 2024 Educator of the Year, and he's redefining what hands-on learning can look like in a modern mechatronics lab.In this episode, Danny shares how early challenges in the classroom led him to move beyond textbook instruction and introduce student-designed projects with real-world relevance. From programming robots to serve cereal and slice cake to engineering capstone challenges with custom tooling, his students are learning by doing—and developing the kind of technical and creative skills that employers notice.What began as a simple effort to share classroom activity on LinkedIn and Instagram has evolved into a powerful tool for student opportunity. With over 30,000 followers on Instagram and 11,000 on LinkedIn, Danny's short, engaging videos have led to direct job offers for students, new partnerships with engineers and PhDs, and a growing network of industry engagement. The results are tangible: students getting hired, programs gaining visibility, and technical education reaching far beyond the classroom.Listen to learn:How to transition from lecture-based teaching to hands-on, student-driven projects that boost engagementWhy adding creative freedom to technical labs leads to better retention and real-world problem-solvingA simple video strategy on LinkedIn or Instagram that can directly lead to student job offersWhat educators should consider before posting student work onlineHow showcasing student work publicly can attract industry partners and grow your program's reputation3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Student-designed projects increase both engagement and retention. Danny's students learn core concepts like user frames and loops by designing their own robotics challenges—whether it's scooping cereal or slicing cake. This creative freedom forces them to problem-solve, adapt, and truly understand the material, rather than just following instructions.2. Social media is a powerful tool for connecting students to real opportunities. By consistently posting short, authentic videos on LinkedIn and Instagram, Danny has helped at least six students get hired directly from what industry partners saw online. These platforms have become an extension of the classroom—offering visibility, credibility, and direct links to the workforce.3. Giving students real-world skills—and a teacher who believes in them—can change their lives. From project-based labs to job-ready training, Danny's classroom gives students more than technical knowledge; it gives them confidence, purpose, and a path forward. For many, it's the first time they've been truly seen for what they can do—and that recognition can be life-changing.Connect with Danny on Social Media:Instagram | LinkedInDon't forget to Ask Us Anything!We want to hear from you!

Sign up for our weekly newsletter here! Are today's students losing their passion and sense of purpose—and how can educators help reignite it? In this final debrief episode of Season 10, hosts Dr. Matthew Worwood and Dr. Cyndi Burnett reflect on their standout interviews with a trio of trailblazers in creativity: astrobio futurist Billy Almon, MIT Media Lab's Dr. Leo Burd, and the legendary Dr. Teresa Amabile. The conversation dives deep into the value of biomimicry—learning from nature to solve classroom challenges, the importance of finding purpose and passion in creative learning, and how small wins can fuel motivation for both teachers and students. Matt and Cyndi also explore whether influences like the pandemic and increased screen time are dampening young people's intrinsic motivation, and discuss how creativity can play a key role in happiness throughout all stages of life, including retirement. This lively, insightful wrap-up invites educators to ask themselves and their students thought-provoking questions about what inspires them, what matters most, and how to foster environments where creativity thrives. Noteworthy Mentions Biomimicry in Education: Drawing inspiration from nature—like the calculated strike of a scorpion—to foster creativity and problem-solving in classroom environments. Five Ps of Creative Learning: A model discussed by Dr. Leo Burd, focusing on Passion, Project, Play, Peers and the crucial addition of Purpose in creative learning settings. Purpose and Passion: A pressing concern about whether today's students are struggling to find their "why," potentially due to pandemic disruptions, over-accommodation, or screen time overload. Progress Principle: Dr. Teresa Amabile's research on the power of recognizing small wins to sustain motivation and creativity—a strategy for both teachers and learners. Creativity Across the Lifespan: The empowering idea that creativity isn't just for the classroom—it's vital for happiness and fulfillment into retirement and beyond. Conversation Starters: Encouragement for teachers to ask students what matters to them and what they're passionate about, to help spark deeper engagement. Episodes Discussed: Billy Almon is an astrobio futurist known for his work in biomimicry and innovative approaches to creativity.

382 Images of Ourselves It's a sad fact of life that we internalize narratives that are made for us at an early age, we are told we are too emotional, that we're too bossy, that we're too big, and if we do not actively try to reframe or unlearn these narratives made for us, we are forced to live out a story someone else made up for us. It is our duty to reach out and take the power back for ourselves, to wield the pen as a mighty sword, and write our own narrative for the sake of our growth and inner peace. In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Lindsey A. Lee, discuss the importance of becoming the person you want to be, showing up for yourself and those you love, and how vital it is for our growth as human beings to sit with the narratives we have about ourselves and decide for ourselves if these narratives are our own genuine thoughts and beliefs or if they were a planted idea. Highlights Is the person you became, the person you wanted to be or the person you needed to be to survive? How do you show up for the people who need you? What stories and perceptions from others are you still holding onto? Quotes “My greatest performance was pretending to be okay.” “There was emotion in my home, it just didn't look like mine. It looked like yelling, fighting, and shutdowns.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, The thing that I want to ask you, you remember every time at the end of these conversations I'm asking you to consider something for yourselves. My dear friend Netty Owens asked me one time: What is the object in your image of yourself that you would like to hold on to? And I talked about the Hanukkiah, the Jewish candelabra that we use for Hanukkah. And there's one candle that's separated from the rest, so there are 9 holders, 8 for the 8 nights of Hanukkah, and the one is the leader candle or the Shamash. That candle is the one we light first, we say the first prayer and then we light all the other candles with that candle. And I like to think of myself as a Shamash, someone who knows that by lighting other candles I am in no way diminishing my own light and that when we light other candles we bring more light. And for that brief moment when we connect like Lindsey and I did, for two and a half minutes our flames were together which made that an entwined hyper bright flame, even for that one moment, and it changes the energy and dynamic in a room. Guaranteed. So I am asking you listeners, what is your image of yourself? Just like Lindsey wants to be radiant and exudes that radiance when she owns that language, what will be yours? And, as always, thank you for listening.

As well as her podcast Honey, Do You! About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

On today's show, I discuss the growing misuse of trauma language in kink education and why it's more than just a trend. From burnout worksheets shared without context to influencers offering therapy-adjacent advice without credentials, we're exploring where personal experience stops and clinical responsibility begins. I break down the differences between trauma-informed and trauma-specific work, the risks of therapeutic mimicry, and how unqualified voices are reshaping safety in BDSM communities. Whether you're a teacher, leader, or participant, this episode is about discernment, accountability, and protecting the integrity of healing.Continue the discussion on Fetlife: @Enhanced-MindDon't forget to hit the follow button and rate my show 5 stars so others may find it.

A lot of technically skilled professionals hit a wall when the job becomes less about solving problems and more about leading people. It's not always about what you know, but how you show up. Communication, emotional awareness, and the ability to navigate team dynamics often feel like foreign territory after years of focusing on logic and precision. But without that shift, growth tends to stall—no matter how good you are at the work itself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XnazHK1dUc Leo MacLeod is a leadership coach who helps technical pros build emotional intelligence and lead with empathy. He's the author of Coaching and Mentoring for Dummies and From the Ground Up, drawing on decades of experience. Through his business, Training Coaching Pie, he designs practical, people-first training that actually sticks. Today, he speaks about the role of emotional clarity in leadership, setting real goals, and why listening well is more important than knowing all the answers.

Leave A Rating: https://ratethispodcast.com/successstory In this “Lessons” episode, mental health educator Israa Nasir reveals why true productivity begins with emotional awareness, not better time management. Learn how toxic productivity often stems from unmet emotional needs, why the constant urge to stay busy may be masking deeper feelings of disconnection, and how to break free from over-optimization by auditing your energy and emotions. Drawing from personal experience and therapeutic insight, Israa explains how asking “Why do I do the things I do?” can uncover hidden motivations, and why mastering your emotional state—not your schedule—is the real key to feeling fulfilled.➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.com YouTube: https://youtu.be/jfaionrhaOY Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/israa-nasir-psychotherapist-speaker-entrepreneur-reclaiming/id1484783544 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4PQ0Jqgrnt7sz4DXTY8JSP ➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Laura Mulvey (1941-present) is a British film theorist, professor, filmmaker, feminist thinker, and writer. She is best known for her 1975 piece, “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema”, which coined the term “the male gaze.” For Further Reading: Laura Mulvey’s Late Style Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema Film Theory 101 – Laura Mulvey: The Male Gaze Theory This month, we’re talking about Word Weavers — people who coined terms, popularized words, and even created entirely new languages. These activists, writers, artists, and scholars used language to shape ideas and give voice to experiences that once had no name. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Adrien Behn, Alyia Yates, Vanessa Handy, Melia Agudelo, and Joia Putnoi.
